Dick had contacted Tim and in a few days the kid was finally home. Wally had also come to the manor with a few bags since they would be staying for possibly a long while. "Do you think they will take it well?" Dick asked.

"Of course," Wally said, "They'll be fine."

"Thanks babe," Dick said and pressed a kiss to Wally's cheek.

A few minutes later Damian and Tim were in the living room waiting for Dick to actually make words come out of his mouth. Instead he just handed them a couple pieces of paperwork and waited for the intelligent boys to piece it together.

"You...claimed guardianship over us?" Tim started.

"You adopted us," Damian said, slightly surprised.

"With Bruce's...disappearance...the police and such dont have much uh hope so..." Dick explained.

Damian remained still as Tim stood up and gave Dick a hug. "Do you think he's dead?" Damian asked.

"We can't be unrealistic...but no," Dick said gently.

Damian looked away, a mix of anger and sadness flooding his features. In an instant he had sprinted up the stairs and slammed his room door.

"I'll go check on him," Dick said as he made his way upstairs.
