Okay so i love Talon!Dick and you're gonna get sick of it
y'all eatin good tonight i've got another story coming up soon
Here's Dick experiencing a flurry of different emotions and having no idea how to deal with him because he forgot what they felt like. This is sort of a continuation from Aromantic_Satan's request but also not?? idk
EDIT: TW VOMIT
Dick knew emotions, he had a small grasp of which emotions people felt by looking at them, but actually feeling them was something else. He hadn't felt them in so long that they felt foreign and often came on strongly. They especially got to him once he got back into work as a vigilante. Guilt and shame almost overwhelmed him when he first got back. Everyone looked at him differently from what he remembered. They didn't show the same care they used. He couldn't blame them. Dick was different now. He wasn't their little favourite anymore and, for some reason he couldn't find, it made him feel awful. Almost sick to his stomach. It was like they didn't want him to exist. He was a blotch on the Justice League's resume. A clear deviation and problem for them. Sure they let him join Young Justice and let him tag along on missions but it was clear they held some disdain towards him. Well, it was clear to him. Unfortunately, since his emotions were new to him, he forgot that they could cloud his logic. His logic being that everyone was actually happy to see him. The looks of disdain were actually ones of empathy. No one knew Dick didn't see them that way since he just thought it was obvious and didn't bring it up.
Dick was in the care of the Young Justice team, awaiting his family's return from a mission. He wasn't allowed to go with them. He thought it was because the League didn't want him poking around too much with them. In reality, it was because they were taking down a faction of the Court of Owls and couldn't be sure it wouldn't affect him negatively. He felt like everyone was watching him, waiting to pounce on him if there was any sign of him reverting back to his old Talon nature. That wasn't how it worked but he supposed they didn't know that. From the team's perspective, they were having a nice quiet get together. M'gann had put on a Disney movie, specifically Moana, as she wanted to reintroduce Dick into the genre of kid-friendly media since he'd been away from it so long. Artemis and Wally lightly bickered in the corner, remembering that they couldn't be too loud for Dick's sake. Kaldur kept glancing over at the teen as the movie progressed to make sure he was okay and often caught the gaze of Connor who he suspected was doing the same. All of this was misinterpreted by Dick thanks to the new flood of emotions. The stares were seen as a caution to stay quiet, the movie choice was meant to show him how there are better heroes than him, the whispers in the corner were talks of hating the new impure version of himself. "May I take a moment outside?" Dick asked, unable to take much more. Shame was burning through him and he just had to take a break.
"Alright, be careful if you go near the water. It's rough this time of year," Kaldur told him. He nodded and briskly exited the room.
"I hope I didn't overwhelm him with the movie, I tried to keep it kid-friendly," M'gann said in a hushed tone, not quite sure if Dick was far away enough to speak normally.
"Maybe we were too loud," Wally said worriedly.
"Looking at him didn't help. He could feel uncomfortable."
"I'll give him a minute then I'll go check on him. He might just need some alone time."
