The Family of Bats (DRABBLES)

Therapy Thursday (Trial)

Nightwing P.O.V.

"I never thought my life would come to this.

Serving undercover for an organization that doesn't even help my country. 

Lying to my friends and family.

I had to fake my own death. 

So, yeah, I never thought my life would turn out like this.

I'll tell you, the return home wasn't a warm welcome either. 

I got punched and yelled at, rightfully so.

I mean, I faked my death to everyone. 

Or, at least, that's what everyone thinks.

And everyone is so angry that they won't even listen to me.

Cause I didn't fake it. 

I really did die. 

Two minutes.

My heart stopped for two minutes. 

That's when everything changed. 

My whole world shattered.

And I'm just now dealing with the fallout from the last four years. 

The trauma responses just started back up. 

At the time the... stuff happened, I had to push it all down. I had to push through. 

Or I'd be the next one dead. 

No, instead, I pushed it down and make mistakes and now my whole city that I protected got obliterated. 

So, yeah, it's been rough. 

I don't even know where to start to be honest." Dick frowned, grabbing his biceps, feeling very vulnerable. 

"That's why I'm here. To listen and help you sort this out. To help you find some peace with what's going on inside." The therapist said. 

She had very kind brown eyes and long curly brown hair falling over her shoulders and back. An indention on her ring finger says she's either separated or divorced recently. As a JLA-approved therapist, she has the required confidentiality and defenses needed- so, not a weak lady. Probability of escape or neutralizing her? High likelihood. Routes of escape in this room? Three.

And that's the kind of shit Spyral left me with.

Not everyone is an enemy, Grayson. And I need to unlearn that. 

Too many incidents with civilians and the JLA have taught me that.

Damn. Spyral fucked me up.

Small trial piece to see if anyone would be interested in something like this.

I have a couple of ways 'Therapy Thursday' could go...

Anyways! Let me know if you're interested!
