Heart Attack

Congratulations

"Dick!" Jason slammed him against the wall, all I could do was watch the batfamily in the manor. Tim had placed himself between them and the two males.

"What is going on Jaybird?"

"Why would you hit him like that!" Screeched Barbara. 

Tim glared at her, quietly taking out a letter and clearing his throat. "Jay, let him go, let them hear this."

"Would anyone mind explaining?" asked Bruce crossing his arms.

"Yes, just sit down all of you" I watched Tim sit down next to Jason, and I realized, those were the letters I had left on my bed when I cried yesterday. I noticed his hands were shaking and Jason was gritting his teeth. Ah, such good friends, I will miss them.

"Maybe we will allow you to visit or see them"

I nodded, but I am not sure if that god noticed. I couldn't speak.

"My love, Richard:" Started Tim struggling to keep his anger down, Barbara flinches as well as Dick, and I knew how much they had hidden it. Damian looked at them with a glare, as if analyzing the whole scene. "You and me, we made a vow, for better or for worse. I just didn't want to believe you capable to let me down. You were my wings, my heart, my soul, the night that helped me rest. But on how this nightmare has come to life, is in the way it hurts. For months on end, I've had my doubts, denying every tear, accusing Barbara of what you had done. I wish this would be over now, the pain, the crying, that I could wake up already, I need you here. Please."

"Oh no...Star" whispered Dick.

"Continue," said Bruce coldly, did he care?

"When you call me baby, I know I'm not the only one, I have heard you call her that too. You've been so unavailable. Now, sadly, I know why you love her more than me. What can she give you that I don't? I have loved you for many years, why I am just not enough? Why did you make me realize my deepest fear by lying to me and tearing us up? Is it possible to catch a cold from the ice inside one's soul? Will you ask about me if I'm gone? Will you miss me? When will I feel fine again? Will you remember how to put back the light in my eyes? Why did you break all your promises?"

"So, Richard, you Dick, answer" growled Jason from behind Tim.

"She...gave me...she understands me," he said hugging Barbara close. I could feel the pain in my heart. "I never knew I meant all this...I just thought...I..."

"You were an idiot Grayson," said Damian.

"Dick" said Batman seriously  "What did you do?"

"You said you were mine, I thought you were mine Dick! But...I was wrong, wasn't I? You and your words flooded my senses, your kisses left me defenseless. I'm searching and scanning for answers within my mind, wondering why you aren't mine anymore. I know I'm not the only one. I know what you did last summer. Yet, you keep on lying to me, saying I'm your baby, I'm the one in your mind. You're the man, and I am the woman, we were fighting for our cause together. Are her hands better than mine? I know who you dream of at night, I hear your whispers. Is she more than me? I need to know, do you love her?"

"I..." everyone in the room was looking at him, expecting an answer, and I wanted one as well.

"Why are you so obsessed with your legacy? Why do your excuses border on senseless? Why you are paranoid on every mission? You sleep in your office instead of coming home. You left me alone with only the memories of when you were mine."

"What is she talking about in that letter Grayson?" Questioned Damian, his glare as cold as ice.

"Answer Dick" ordered Bruce.
