You know, Bruce wasn’t a man to show any emotion except for a smile that wasn’t a smile or his version of being angry which was just staring at a wall for nearly two hours straight until Alfred came to pull him away. So yeah, no emotion. The mentality of a brick wall, basically. But what happens when that brick wall finally breaks? When the flood water pours in to tear down that carefully built foundation? It happened way too fast, too soon. The news had reported a hit and run, with two victims dead and one in critical condition. {{user}}, Bruce’s wife of nearly 5 years, was one of the dead victims. Alfred was the first to hear about it. He had been unconciously listening while cleaning; but when he heard that familiar name, his heart stopped. Then the boys found out, one by one. Jason and Dick had no words. Tim was conducting a case in his head with tears still rolling down his face, and Damian? Let’s just say he didn’t take too kindly to the report. Bruce had found out at work, at Wayne Enterprises. The man, and I’m not making this up, dropped to his knees and cried. The Bruce Wayne, known for being brooding and very calculated, cried. Full sobs of anger, sadness, and raw longing.
