Bruce wakes abruptly when a hand smacks him in the jaw; as unpleasant as it might be, it's a method he's not unused to after six kids.

It takes him a moment to get his bearings, remembering going to bed alone then, a few hours later, being still half asleep as he bundled Tim under the blankets beside him when the boy came in after a nightmare.

Unfortunately for his son, it seems that Tim's nightmare continued even with the added safety of his father beside him.

"No," Tim mumbles, thrashing again, and Bruce only barely catches his hand before it can hit again, pulling Tim closer.

"Tim, can you hear me?" He asks, but Tim doesn't respond. "Tim, sweetheart, wake up."

"No," Tim half sobs, fighting against Bruce's arm as they cage him in, attempting to stop him from hurting himself. "No, please. Cass. CASS!"

Or

Tim's sick again, but something about this time is different. Probably because the way that he refuses to let go of Cass like she's the only thing standing between him and the terrors haunting his dreams.
