They left the Batwing floating over the city's cemetery and followed the distraught Batman through the graves.
Jason's grave looked undisturbed, but Bruce wouldn't be able to notice small changes. He only visited the grave twice a year, on Jason's birthday and death day. If someone wanted to steal his body, it would be ridiculously easy... Bruce didn't even put sensors on the coffin.
He should have been more careful. He should have protected him. Why couldn't he protect him? Why did he keep failing him?
"Superman, use your X-Ray vision," Batman ordered, without turning around. Superman nodded and his eyes shone for a few seconds before he lowered his head sadly. "Well? He is there?"
"Batman..."
"IS HE THERE?!"
Barry cringed uncomfortably, while Clark merely stared at Batman's back.
"I don't see any bones there, just the coffin. I'm sorry."
Batman's hands started shaking and his eyes burned. Suddenly, he started digging the grave with his hands.
"Batman!" the Flash cried out, but the Dark Knight ignored him, focusing on the work at hand, trying not to think of the file he read, trying not to remember his last angry words with Jason, the way he looked so angry and sad when he told him he shouldn't have been Robin. The blast from the explosion, holding the dead body his adopted son in his arms... No matter how much he tried not to remember, the more vivid those memories became.
He barely noticed when Clark joined him and their fingers finally hit the coffin. Bruce stood there, frozen as Superman opened the coffin and he confirmed what he had denied since he read the file.
The coffin was empty. Jason wasn't there. He hadn't been there for a long time.
They took him... they took him away from me, Bruce thought.
Superman tried to reach out for Batman, but the latter turned around and vanished into the dark night. Clark didn't need to use his superpowers to know that he was crying.
