Summary
When Damian finds the stored footage from the Crime Syndicate's takeover, he discovers a secret he was never meant to know. Now he and his brothers must put all to rights and bring their lost eldest home.
Set during Dick's time in Spyral after Bruce loses his memories.
Update: this was originally a 2 chapter fic. It has exploded. Current plan is around 10 chapters. The new parts deal with Dick re-acclimatizing to life after Spyral. Warnings for some delayed trauma reactions.

Summary
“I’ll ask you one more time. What. Did. You. Put. In. Nightwing.” He punctuated each word by jarring the knife still embedded in the man’s shoulder. He caught Tim grimacing out the corner of his eye, but nodded in satisfaction when the kid remained silent. Good. Because Jason didn’t think he could hold himself back if he tried. It was all he could do to ignore the green roaring in his ears, demanding he kill the man for touching his brother.
“T- truth serum,” the man gasped. “We gave ‘em truth serum.” Fuck. Jason slammed the man’s head violently against the concrete and dropped the limp body. He pushed past Tim, intent on catching sight of his brother and checking his condition.

Summary
Dick gets hit with truth serum and tells Jason and Tim some of his past. Where does he go from there?
“Truth serum huh, then there’s nothing to worry about since I’m an open book.” He hopes that his light tone works to lighten the mood. He hopes that putting on an air of normality and being the picture of health will make the situation diffuse.
It doesn’t.
If anything it only seems to strengthen whatever resolve Jason is using for this particular conversation.
“Maybe that’s the problem with this whole fucking family. We never just talk to each other.”

Summary
And Dick can hear the rest of his family coming closer. He gulps as Jason, Tim, Damian, Stephanie, Duke, and Bruce make their way towards them. Fuck, fuck, fuck, this isn’t going to plan.
“Cass, I don’t know what—“
“Lie.”
“Cass—“
“Lie!” She stomps her foot, and Dick stops trying to speak.
“What is she talking about, Dick?” Bruce asks.
Dick can’t find it in himself to look at any of them.

Summary
"Master Dick?" Alfred whispered, the old man's voice surprised both him and Midnighter. Dick turned and Alfred's face paled as he saw the scars.
Dick bit his lip and looked to Damian's headstone. "Hey Alfie."
"My boy, are you-" Alfred knelt near him, a hand ghosting over Dick's shoulder. In their family, people rarely stayed dead. Midnighter mumbled something, and left them alone. He wrapped his arms around himself and looked downward.
"Don't… don't tell anyone?" Alfred nodded solemnly, wrapping his arms around his grandson. Dick half smiled and leaned against him. "I was undercover. I… I didn't want to be…"
Or:
Just released from Spyral after a life threatening injury, Dick tries to find himself while avoiding his once father, siblings, and the home he made with his son.- Language:

Summary
“Hey kid.” The words were soft but Slade still noticed Dick flinch at the sound of them. He felt his brow furrow in surprise but forced it to smooth out. He himself had also come out of uniform leaving his face bare and on display. He didn’t know if emotion would help or hurt whatever was wrong with the other man.
Not that it mattered as Dick still refused to look up at him. Head turned pointedly to the ground.
“What do you want Slade?”

Summary
Dick knew that things weren’t going to be the same when he came back from Spyral. He expected the hatred and disgust everyone threw his way because he faked his death (
no, he really did die). He expected his friends and family to turn their backs on him, wanting nothing to do with him anymore.He hurt them, lied to them, betrayed them.
So when the Court of Owls kidnapped and tortured him to be their Talon (
jokes on them, you can’t break what’s already broken), he didn’t expect anyone to save him.(He deserved it anyway)
