Chapter Text
Damian opened his eyes and found himself sitting in a black velvet chair, surrounded by the room with red and black Gothic style architecture and furniture. Damian tried to remember what happened but he only remembered that he eavesdropped on the conversation between Catwoman and everyone but he can't remmber what happened afterward.
Suddenly a tapping sound on the table attracted young Robin's attention. He immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw the other side of an ebony table covered with a red cloth decorated with roses and gold-plated porcelain plates with silverware is himself, no it is an older version of himself, around 18 - 20 years old.
"Oh, you finally woke up" the older version said.
"Where is this, who are you, where are all the others?" Damian shouted trying to stand up but it was useless, as if something was holding him down in the chair.
"Calm down, I'm glad you still have the energy to get mad. Enjoy this feeling because later you'll forget the reason you're angry. Oh no no, the right to say is %^8Ghj" he said smiling
"What is it?" Damian couldn't hear clearly what the last part was, he could only hear a crackling sound like an old radio.
The older version just shook his head and said, "It's okay, that isn't not important. You'll quickly remember everything after you wake up because it's about to start."
"What's about to start?" Damian asked again, the strange thing was that he always had a familiar feeling that something was about to happen, as if he had experienced it hundreds or thousands of times.
The person at the other end of the table just tilted his head, smiled brightly and pointed at Damian. "Of course it's the loop, where everything starts. The wheel of fate has begun to move and you are the important Gear for it to happen"
Damian didn't understand anything, but in his heart there was a calmness, no worry or fear, but just calmly accepting what the older version said.
"Hmm, it seems like your mind has forgotten but your heart still remembers" the older version stared at the young Robin.
"What did I forget?" Damian asked calmly
The person on the other side didn't say anything, suddenly he held an empty wine glass and plucked the blue rose right at the location of the heart and dropped it in, a miracle happened, it suddenly turned into a glass of wine. sapphire color "Drink and regain your memory, we don't have much time left. You must become stronger to gather the necessary things to prepare to fulfill THAT PERSON's wish."
Damian looked at the glass of wine that appeared in front of him, took it by the stem, his heart beat faster and faster, his body began to tremble, his hands sweated. Damian knew this was not fear but the complete opposite. He felt joy and excitement when he became useful, that feeling spread from his heart to his whole body. The young Robin smiled brightly like his older version, he took the glass of wine and slowly drank it down, the next thing Damian knew was pain running through every corner of his body and then darkness.
At the private hospital for JL
Jon stared at the rise and fall of Damian's chest, which was proof that he was alive. Young Superman will never forget the feeling of despair when he saw Dami inside that room or when his heart stopped several times during the emergency. Up to now, Damian is still not out of danger, Doctor Z said that the possibility of him waking up is very low. Jon leaned his head against the glass door, closed his eyes and listened to the young Robin's heartbeat. Suddenly, the sound of the heartbeat getting faster and faster jolted Jon awake. He watched the body tremble more and more strongly of Damian, the young superman panicked, he rushed into the hospital room and repeatedly pressed the emergency button. He tried to keep Dami still but it was useless. He didn't know where Dami got the strength to throw Jon off of him.
Damian opened his eyes and sat up. He began to scream and scratch his body, blood began to seep through the bandage. Under that bandage was flesh and blood in some places and even white bones. Even so, he still did not stop and continued to self-harm, but a miracle happened, the injured areas began to heal, growing a new layer of flesh and skin. Damian grabbed the bandage on his right eye and pulled it off, a stream of blood flowed from that dark eye socket and the muscles began to move and then a new eye formed, but instead of emerald it was blue sapphire.
Although the whole process seemed long, it actually only lasted 1 - 2 minutes. During that short period of time, Jon had to witness everything, only when the doctors came in did he suddenly wake up and was quickly asked to leave the hospital room.
Jon stood outside, Damian's screams of pain and hoarseness still in his ears. He felt useless for not being able to share his pain, and only thought of the person who hurt his Robin anger began to burn. This was the first time the young superman felt such extreme hatred that he wanted to make others suffer torture and death to pay for the pain that Damian had to endure.
Jon sat there lost in his own thoughts until the other members of the Bat family ran to him. As soon as they arrived, the screams became weaker and then fell silent. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the results. As soon as Dr. Z stepped out, she was immediately surrounded.
"Doctor Z, how is the situation?" Bruce asked worriedly.
"I was quite surprised but Robin was perfectly fine. All the wounds had healed, we also checked his whole body and found no problems at all, his throat was a bit damaged from screaming too much, but the boy is just tired at this point. Now, after being injected with a sedative, he has fallen asleep. But I still think we should let Robin stay in the hospital for a few more days to observe more " Doctor Z explained " Well, everyone can visit the baby now, just remember to keep quiet."
Hearing that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They couldn't wait any longer and rushed into the hospital room. Each person found a place near the hospital bed to sit down and look at Damian's peaceful face.
