Bruce sank to his feet, his head in his calloused hands.
"Why?" he whispered aloud to himself.
Why. A question Bruce had never really asked himself before. He was more of an action over thought type of man. But now, now he was questioning everything.
"Why would he do this?
Why did I marry him?
Why did he kiss back?
Why am I not good enough?
Why am I never good enough for anyone?
Why was she out?
Why didn't he try and fight it?"
His voice broke.
"Why doesn't he love me anymore?"
Bruce has his train of thought broken by the soft padding of Dick's feet down the stairs.
"Padre?"
There only came a sniffle in reply.
"Are you okay, Dad?" Where's Madre?"
"He's not here anymore, cookie."
"What do you mean, Dad? Why are you crying?"
"Jack was, I didn't know she got out, they, he kissed..."
That was all Dick could get out of his father, before he descended into unintelligible sobs.
Realising what had happened, Dick sat down beside his father and put his small arms around him.
They stayed like that for a while, Bruce's head in his hands, and Dick's arms around his father.
