Dick was finally being released. He could breathe again. The last week he might not have lived through if not for Raven’s soul self being around and literally having to save him a few times and heal him from the drugs they’d pumped in him. Other prisoners didn’t mess with him, they couldn’t go that route in making his life hell, Dick was more skilled and the prisoners knew that by his day one display of self defense before lunch. In Prison, two weeks seemed like a lifetime. That place rivaled the prison of his nightmares, Arkham Asylum. There were literal days he’d lost in his memory, blank spots he couldn’t quite remember. He couldn’t imagine how the inmates felt who had to serve sentences there, though he hoped they wouldn’t for long. Hopelessness hung in the air like a hammer waiting to fall.
Clark had photos of mistreatment, Jemma had shown and taken official government records of malpractice. Things were happening, but more importantly his name had been cleared of the mud it’d been dragged through. Soon he’d be outside. He’d almost forgotten what it looked like. No more staunch prison air that smelled like B.O. and month old gym shoes.
He no longer had marks on his wrists thanks to Raven’s healings, but there were marks left unseen. Mental scars that would take time. Pale blue eyes searched the room as he signed himself out and took his bag of belongings. A guard took one last moment to threaten him in a low tone as he grabbed at his bag of items.
“Don’t get too comfortable in the free world, Grayson.” And went to change into his civilian clothes again before stepping out into the lobby of the station and taking a look around. He was free, but overwhelmed already with uncertainty and anxiety.
