Title: Take these broken wings
Fandom: DCU
Summary: Heroes seldom work alone.
Notes: For Te.


In Tim's apartment, it's quiet. Not empty. He waits. Listens -- nothing broken, no alarms.

"Why Blüdhaven?" Clark asks.

Tim shrugs. "It needs someone."

"Do you need it?"

"It's not home."

Clark nods. "Come flying?"

Tim breathes. Takes his hand.

"You're still Robin."

"Now."

Clark squeezes his shoulder. "Who else would you be?"

Tim shivers. Chuckles. "Flamebird's taken."

Clark kisses his forehead like a benediction. "Is Nightwing?"

"Ask him yourself."

"Robin --" ruefully.

"He might be honest with you."

"You're family."

Tim raises an eyebrow. "How's Kon?"

Clark pulls him into an embrace, human-close, alien-warm. "I'll talk to Dick."

"Kon is -- healing."
