Bruce always worries when his children disappear or leave Gotham, but he gets even worse when it's Dick or Tim.
This is the thing, Jason goes off world with Kori and Roy and comes back calmer and saner.
Cassandra rarely stays in Gotham. She has a hard time remembering to call home, but she does, and Bruce is immensely happy to hear from her.
Damian goes off and returns with a sense of self and victory. He had a lot of fun with Jon, no one knows what they were up to.
Dick leaves and when he's back, he is carrying 3000 new tons of ✨trauma✨. He's been tortured, held hostage, save a small planet, lost his teammates. It's been a hellish week, let alone a month.
Tim disappears, doesn't call, doesn't text, nobody knows where he is. He comes back one day with a longer criminal record and the loyalty of a gaggle of assorted unhinged individuals.
Bruce trusts Jason, Cass and Damian to be responsible. Dick attracts danger, and Tim stumbles into it instead of sidestepping it.
