"Everything," Steph answered simply, knowing full-well he was about to give her a lecture and not caring. The guilt after losing him hung heavy on her even five years later, and with the stunt Ra's pulled recently fresh in her mind, Damian's death was still a soft spot for her. "For not being there when you went back." Because clearly that was her fault, too. It all seemed impossibly difficult, and she would always want to protect him in a way, even now that he was (mostly) grown.
Still, she smiled back up at him. She knew it was him, his fingertips on her face felt so real. But she laughed a little tightly, face still wet with tears. "I just also thought Owlman was in my apartment, and I shot up our closet, so." She shrugged, like that was no big deal. "I'm crazy, Damian. I just want to make sure I'm not imagining you, too." But she knew, she knew it was him, and she clung to him again. Hell, she and Eddie had been gone for five years only to blink back a minute later. More impossible things had happened.
