Summary
"Why are you here, Nightwing?" Superman's voice was calm but firm as he spoke. He didn't even turn around, all his attention on the man lying on the bed, gripping his hand. He touched him as if he were the most precious thing in the world. Dick didn't want to look: Bruce shouldn't be like this, immobile, surrounded by machinery.
"I'm here for him," Dick said, standing in front of the bed, still looking at Superman, because he couldn't see his father Bruce in that way.
Superman made a contemptuous noise, completely out of place for him, "And obviously, you're alone. Where are the others? Minding their own business?"
Dick curled his lip, defensive. "Someone had to stay in Gotham, you know."
"If my father had been saved from a cult that wanted to sacrifice him to an alien god, I'd be right there with him," the alien said angrily. "But apparently, he doesn't even deserve that grace, does he?"
(Batman was a legend. Batman was invincible. But Bruce Wayne was just a man, and Dick wasn't ready to face the chance of seeing another parent die, without being able to tell him he didn't hate him.)

Summary
"I don't understand,” Jason croaked, the sound of his own voice was foreign to him.
“What you don’t understand?” Bruce asked, remaining kind.
That damn gentle tone. That fucking kindness.
Jason wanted to shake him by the shoulders and tell him to stop. Stop being so kind. I don't deserve it. None of us deserves it.
Jason looked at the other man, the one who had tried to kill so many times and had forgiven him, the one who always forgave everyone and shouldn't have done it, "I really don't fucking understand. Why are we still here?"
(In which Jason is cursed by a magic user to listen everyone's thoughts, and Bruce's are a mess. A steaming mess that Jason doesn't want to ignore.)

Summary
Bruce Wayne is a closed off person. Everyone knows he's good at everything. But he wasn't always like this. Before he was emotionally constipated, he was undisciplined and reckless(still is).
When the Justice League gets in an off world battle and Batman is hit with a beam of light that de-ages him back to 18, they are hit in the face with the fact their most disciplined comrade was an absolute brute when he was younger. And all the trauma that comes with the training Bruce forced himself through. Also his kids are here. They hate this and want their dad back.
