Somewhere in another realm...
Time: Anytime.

[DAMIAN'S POV]

My eyes shot open when I heard a creaking sound. I force my body up and release a yawn. My blurry vision travelled around my surrounding, taking it in. It didn't take long before many questions took over my mind. From what it looks like, I'm at the Hospital's lobby. But how did I get here in the first place?? Where is everybody? Why does the hospital looked like an asylum? Why is there a clock hanging on the wall that has no hands but the word "Anytime" in it?? Where is that awful stench coming from?! Why I had my Robin uniform? I don't remember anything before all this. So many questions... but out of all of them, only one, stood out, catching my full attention.

Me: Where's Jon?!

I reach into my pocket for my phone, wanting to call Superman, father Lois anybody... but it wasn't there. I checked all my pockets but my phone wasn't in any of them. I got to my feet and looked around.. my backpack is no where to be seen either. My utility belt is gone. It's just, me.... I turned around a spotted a door that had an exit sign above it. I ran towards it. I twist the dusty door knob and push the door open. I was horrified to see that there is nothing in front of me. Just pitch black darkness.
    I back away from the door, keeping my eyes in the darkness. I then turned around and ran deeper in. Passing through a dark empty hallway.

While I was running, I spotted curtains just ahead of me. I stopped and opened the curtains. I was hoping to see a window behind it but it's the wall with the words "RUN" written in red ink.

At least I hope it's ink. My heart is beating really fast that I could hear it.. I'm not exhausted... I'm really, really scared... I decided to find ICU room number 27, Jon's room, which was located on the fifth floor. I ran towards an elevator but it wasn't working. So I turned back and ran, leading myself back to the hallway, taking a left which is where the stairs are located. The windows had light shining through it. The moment I lay a finger on the window, the light turned to darkness.. and the window came crashing down.

I ran up almost 9 flights of stairs and finally reached the 5th floor. I was feeling exhausted but that didn't stop me. I started running through the hallway, straight towards the end where room 27 was located. From where I was, I noticed that the door was wide open. I reached the room and once again was horrified by what I'm seeing. The room is was empty.... there was only an old gurney at the west side of the room.. broken objects and glasses scattered around.

The ceiling was torn apart. Spider webs are everywhere. I walked towards the window on my right... behind the window was nothing but darkness.. just like the door.

Me: Where am I... Where are my things? Where's Jon?...

I drop to my knees and started crying. I didn't know what to do. There's no way out. Beyond these walls is nothing but darkness. I don't have any communication devices or gadgets. I have nothing.

Me: Someone help.... (sob) please... father? Dick?.... Jon?? (Crying)

The sound of creaking objects, howling wind, pests running and flying around filled the area. Through my watery eyes, something caught my attention. Something red... It was behind the old gurney. I got up, walked towards it and crouched down. The metals on the gurney were rusted and the bed sheets were ripped. I touched the red thing... and it felt like fabric. I pulled it out...
The hairs on my arms stood and the beating my heart increased rapidly as I lay my eyes on what I'm holding.

Me: Jon's hoodie....

It looked like it's been here for a very long time. The colours were slightly faded and there were holes on it. I flipped it over to the back. The S logo had messy red marks over it... my hands started shaking... thinking those red marks could possibly be blood....
     I dropped the hoodie to the ground, causing a cloud of dust to fly around.

I throw my hands behind my head and shut my eyes... feeling really really scared.

??: Da...an....

I heard someone or something whispered... I thought it's just my mind playing tricks with me. so I ignored it.

??: He's g...e

Then things just got a whole lot more scarier. The whisper sounded like a girl's voice and it got more clearer. In a flash, I got up and began looking around the room.. finding out where that disturbing sound is coming from. I turned here and there but spotted nothing.

??: Over h...re

It felt like the whisper came from behind me.. where the door is. I turned around slowly. Behind the door is now darkness.. just like the rest of the place.

??: Hi....

I heard the whisper even more clearly this time. It sounded like it came from in front of me. I held my hands together, trying to stop the shaking but it didn't work. I called out to whatever that's making that sound.

Me: He-hello? Is... anybody here??

There wasn't any response. My eyes were locked to the darkness outside this room. Spotting for any signs of movements. After seconds of staring into the darkness, something came into view. Something absolutely terrifying.

It looked like a figure, with a large head. It's eyes were looking at me.. the whisper became so much clearer now which is causing my body to shake vigorously. It takes all my strength just to speak up.

Me: Who are y-you?

??: It doesn't matter... You failed Damian Wayne..... You were too late... (scary chuckle) your friend died alone... in fact, everyone you know has deserted you.. (Laughing) you know why?

Me: (voice shaking) w-why?..

??: it's simple really. (Laughing maniacally) nobody likes you!!

I dropped to my knees and stared at the dust covered floor... I'm lost for words because what I feared the most has came to pass.... everyone I know has left me.

??: cheer up birdy... (laughing) I'm gonna help reunite you with your friend. I'm sure you're just dying, to see him.. (laughing maniacally) get it? Dying!

My body felt numb... I couldn't move a muscle... my body crash to the ground. My eyes were staring at the door. The figure was making it's way in. Instead of being scared, I took a deep breath and accepted my fate.

Me: I'm sorry I wasn't there for you J. I truly am... (tearing) Till we meet again.. in this world or another....

The figure stepped into the room. It's legs looked like they belonged to a lion. It had crumpled hands with fingers long as a stick and nails sharp as needle. It's body was pitch black. It was like staring into a black hole. My eyes slowly travelled up to it's face. It had the hair of an old hag and its face? There are no words to describe it... it was flashing a very large, non white teeth at me.

??: (laughing maniacally while lifting its needle fingers nails to Damian's body) you're going to see your friend... smile!

??: (all five finger needles combined and formed a razor sharp tip.) Where you're going, sadly I can't come... Boo hoo... so.. tell him I said Hi.... (Laughing maniacally) (stabbed Damian) !!

[DAMIAN'S POV]

(Thunder crash)

Damian: NOOOO!! (Screaming with his hands and legs moving)

??: Damian?! Hey! Wake up!!

Damian: (still shaking)

??:

??: Mother of Azarath, wake him up!

Me: ...... (eyes shot opened) (loudly breathing heavily and sweating)

Me: Raven???

Raven: What happened to you?!
