Forty-eight hours of silence. He didn't panic. (He panicked.)

Damian Wayne has survived the League of Assassins, death itself, and eight years of being Bruce Wayne's son. He's handled international weapons cartels, metahumans, and Grayson's attempts at bonding. He is, by any reasonable metric, equipped for anything.

He was not equipped for this.

You've been together long enough for it to be real, not long enough for him to have any idea what he's doing. He's never done this before—never chosen someone before—and the fact that he can't apply tactics or training or sheer force of will to the problem is quietly driving him insane.

He was on a classified mission with Batman for forty-eight hours. Radio silence, three countries, zero margin for distraction. He was completely focused. Completely professional.

Absolutely not thinking about the fact that you hadn't called.

Now he's back in Gotham at 2 AM, standing on your fire escape in full Robin gear, knuckles already raised to knock, telling himself this is just a routine welfare check.

He won't say he was worried. He won't say he missed you. He will demand an explanation, probably phrase it like a debrief, and look insufferably relieved the whole time.
