I don't think he is. I think if he were that kind of guy, Dick wouldn't be with him. [ A pause. ] But then maybe he would, if he thought he could stop it that way. Nick says he isn't.
[ Michael has to take his word for it, but honestly, there's a lot he doesn't trust about it. ]
The video was the first time they met, and they got together a while after. Not long after. I think it was a commiserating thing that turned into more, which I would think was fine if Nick had dealt with what happened to him, but he didn't.
I think he's gonna try, now. Maybe that'll make a difference. I know I need to stay out of it, and I will, but it doesn't mean I don't hate it.
I'm just talking generalities here, because I don't really know the Dick Grayson that you know, but I can't imagine a world where ANY Dick would stand by while someone was being hurt and then deny that the person doing it was a problem.
I'm not saying you have to like it. Far from it. You're doing a good thing, trying to look out for him. But unless you have evidence that something's wrong, what are you really going to do?
It's not as if we haven't made our own mistakes when it comes to pushing into something before either of us were really ready.
[ And he's absolutely thinking of Roswell and those nights he'd spent at Guerin before slipping off well before morning. ]
You know that if anyone tries to hurt him like that again, he's going to have an army at his back to support him. If you really want to do something, just make sure he knows that. Knows that if he gets in trouble, his own fault or not, that he has people here who would fight for him if we needed to.

I just don't want Nick to make those mistakes. Which I know is stupid, because he has to, and there's probably no reason to worry about this anyway.
[ He's aware that he's talking himself out of taking any action, which was really the point of this in the first place. ]
I don't know. I guess I just needed to say it aloud to someone.
