Dick stumbled through the back alleys. Poison flowed through his veins and he didn't have the antidote. Well he did originally, but a child was struck with poison before him. The child will survive but Nightwing won't.
Dick fell onto a wall for support. He had failed Blüdhaven. He had failed his friends. The he had failed his family. They didn't care he was gone, and now dying he realizes....... they won't feel any different.
He hasn't visited in years. He only contacted them on special occasions like birthdays or Christmas. He never visited. Now he never will. He will never see his little brothers grow up. They're endless teasing and bickering, which he missed. He will never have another one of Alfred's amazing cookies. He won't get to see his father, Bruce. He won't get to feel the love he had with Barbara, or any of his family for that matter.
He slid his back down the wall. Finally he had to say "goodbye". He picked up his communicator, and dialed the batcave. Tears streaked his face. He just had to let them know he loved them. Jason picks up after 2 rings.
"Hey Dick what's up," he asked then stopped." Dick! Dick! Oh my gosh," he screamed then ran off to get Bruce. Bruce came rushing to the computer to see his oldest son dying.
"Dick, Dick talk to me," he shouts. Dick opens his eyes with great difficulty. His 16 year old son was dying before his own eyes. Then a shutter went through his body.
"I love you," Dick said with great effort. Then one finally tear streamed down his face, before his eyes closed for good.
All the bat brothers stood in front of the computer in horror. Their big brother was stripped from their lives forever. Then in one violent scream Dami collapsed on the floor. Out of all the brothers him and Dick had been the closest. Even though Dick left only 8 months after he got there. Dick always made him feel special by sending him special gifts for fun. Things from Dick's travels.
All of the brothers burst into tears. Bruce followed shortly behind. Damian screamed his agony. One of the few people he loved was gone. They all sat on the floor and bawled. Dick's lifeless corpse still on the screen. Then Bruce stood up. He had to go get his son. Even if he had to travel the universe, he would get his son a proper burial. He quickly locked away all his emotions. He wasn't going to cry, or so he tried to tell himself.
Once about an hour away, driving Bruce burst into tears again. He had lost his first baby boy.
