that last post about bvs and dick has me thinking like. All of Bruce’s kids have this immediate instinct every time they hear about some horrific event going on in Gotham. It comes on the news and they immediately think “dad will be there soon”. Maybe they’re in daily life or maybe getting suited up to show up and help, but they all instinctually know Bruce is going to be on the way or already be there, regardless of what the situation is. They know him and know he’s on the way to save people immediately. And if he ISNT there that means he’s locked up with something else (which they need to figure out) or something is wrong (which they also need to figure out)
And maybe Dick thinks, bitterly, that Bruce is so wrapped up in Gotham, during Black Zero of course his attention would be there, minimizing the destruction that made it across the bay.
And then Dick turns on the TV and sees Bruce not just in Metropolis (leaving Gotham behind) but running INTO the destruction there. Because his office in Metropolis is still his people and he’ll always come for his people. And if Dick can depend on him to do that, then he knows — in his heart — that Bruce will always come for him, too. No matter where he is.
