Is anyone else dying to know how Dick would confront Wally about what he did to Roy and the other heroes? Bc honestly that is one of the things I want to see played out most once Dick gets his memories back. Not that I expect to actually get a scene like that once Ric becomes Dick again.
Because like. Dick and Wally have been each other’s ride or dies in the Rebirth era. Dick stole Bruce’s platinum business card and bought Wally an apartment with it because he considered Wally his family. Then Dick got stabbed in the heart and was going to die so Wally literally reversed time to save Dick’s life, which then wrecked Wally’s heart and killed him. Then Dick and Wally stood as a united front against Roy (yes, yes, very stupid issue, I know). And Wally caught all the arrows aimed at Dick to protect him.
What would Dick do?? Would he try to understand where Wally was coming from? Would he go feral and beat Wally’s ass? I’ve just been thinking about this since forever.
Now all I can imagine is Dick being furious with Wally, but then his hand drifts towards his heart where he was stabbed. And he remembers how Wally saved him, and he remembers how he felt like the wind got knocked out of his lungs when he realized Wally was dead. The familial love he feels for Wally conflicts with his anger and he doesn’t know what to do. Doesn’t know how to feel. So he just cries.
He cries because he thinks maybe he could’ve prevented this shit from happening if he hadn’t been shot in the head. Maybe he could’ve talked to Wally and stopped him from doing that. He cries for the loss of Roy and his other hero friends. He cries because Alfred is dead and because the batfam’s relationships with each other have deteriorated in his absence. He cries because the family he made with the Titans has also been destroyed. He cries because he’s supposed to have two families, but both of them have been shattered into pieces. He cries because he can’t talk to Bruce about his problems, and now he can’t talk to his friends either.
He cries because he’s lost so much of his own life, and now that he has his memories back, there’s nothing familiar for him to take comfort in. Everything is different, including him. So he just cries and cries and cries because nothing makes sense anymore.
