[Wally holds him a little tighter, probably too much. His fingers curl around Dick's shirt. Why was it different? Why was it so different.]

Hazards of the job. [Maybe if he keeps saying that, he'll start accepting it.]

It's just the hazards- [Fuck, he can't even finish it. One little fall, one close shave on top of a pile of other close shaves but maybe it's because this one time it wasn't up to the entire team to save each other. Maybe it's because it's just like how Robin said; it was him and Dick and gravity, and that's it.

Wally hides his face against Robin's hair. Robin didn't even die and Wally's seriously freaked out. The way Robin screamed echoes in his head, but more than that it's the way Robin looked at him, in those microseconds between spotting Wally and reaching for him. Robin had looked so- it's probably good Wally couldn't see his eyes with that mask on, because he doesn't even want to think about what he would've seen there.

Wally's eyes are burning so he keeps them shut and damn it, he's being so stupid about this. It's over, it's done, Dick is safe, so why is he still scared?]


I'm- I'm gonna tie a bungie cord to you, dude, [he mutters in a weak attempt for levity. Breaking down is not an option here. Robin's the one who fell. Wally needs to keep his shit together for Dick's sake, at the very least. He can freak out on his own time.]
