Metropolis Hospital
7:30p.m.

[DAMIAN'S POV]

No no no no!! He's not dead he's not dead HE'S NOT! Those words kept on running in my mind over and over again. I couldn't stop it. Thankfully we've reached the Metropolis Hospital by using Raven's portals. When I stepped out of the portal, I noticed the hospital wasn't crowded like always. It's good thing too because if the place were to be packed, it'll take up too much time, risking Jon's injuries. I ran to the counter and told the nurse about Jon's condition.

Me: He's been pierced by a kryptonite crystal, and he lost a lot of blood! Quick do something!

Nurse: Got it! (Picking up a walkie talkie) Nurse 291, CODE RED! Requesting a gurney and medics to help assist a kryptonian patient stat! (Keeping the walkie talkie)

In no time, 3 female medics rushed in with a gurney. Raven levitated Jon from my arms and placed him on it. The medics then turned the gurney along with Jon around and rushed him to a operating room. We followed them but when we reached the operating room, a nurse told us to wait outside. Of course I got mad....

Me: What?! Why?!

Nurse: We're gonna prepare him for medication. It's a little more complicating to prepare a kryptonian than a regular human. So, you guys in here will just cause distraction for us, even if you're heroes. Please understand.

Me: NO! Step asi--

Starfire: (placed hand on Damian's shoulder then looked at the nurse) We understand, thank you nurse. Please, let us know about Jon's condition as soon as you get anything.

Nurse: Right away. Thank you Starfire. (Closed the door)

Me: (jerked Starfire's hand and turned to face her) what'd you do that for?! That nurse was just being stupid! It's not like I'm going to make noises in there to--

Starfire: Damian. Please, calm down. The doctors and nurses are doing what they need to do to help Jon. We need to be patient now.

Raven: Damian, I've checked him, he's breathing but I can't tell when is he going to wake up.

Starfire: That's good enough Raven. Right now, we've got something much worse to think about... How are we going to explain this to Superman...

Raven: (held her hand out and a magic auro formed, showing the League) Every members of the Society has been succesfully sent to Bell Reve. The League is now attending to their respective homes. It won't be long before Superman finds out about Jon. (Magical aura fades)

Starfire: What do we do?

Raven: (sigh deeply) I don't know. But this is not going to be pretty...

I turned around and head out towards the waiting room, not caring if Raven or Starfire are following me. When I got out, I noticed there was an empty seat on the east side of the room. I walked over to it and sat. I took a look at the surroundings, trying to be patient. The hospital walls were coloured with young blue paint, the receptionist had two main nurses in charge, the temperature in here was quite cooling, and the iodoform smell of a hospital could not be missed. I then took a glance at myself. I held my hands out, only to see dry blood on them... Jon's blood... My uniform had patterns of splashed blood on them. I ignored the blood on my hands and pulled my knees up. I wrapped my arms around them and began thinking. Starfire's question has been haunting me till now.

Me: What, am we going to tell Superman.....

Seriously, I really don't know how is this going to end up. But what I do know that it's because of me, the others might just get themselves in trouble with Superman. Like Havania who promised to keep Jon safe, but failed. Or the Titans, Father and, me..... It's because of me.... I buried my face between my knees and closed my eyes..
After a while, I noticed someone was next to me because I felt a jerk on the chair. I looked up and see Raven and Starfire sitting next to me.

Me: Any news?

Starfire: Not yet. I'm sure he'll be alright. (Placed her hand on Damiand shoulder) Be patient, ok Damian..

Raven: In the meantime, why don't you explain to us on how did he endup like this..

Me: Use your powers and read my mind... (looking away) I don't want to talk about it.

Raven: I understand. (Floated her hand over Damian's head and then in front of them) hold still.. (magic aura surrounds her hand)

Raven opened up my cloud memory with her magic. A mist of cloud is now floating in front of us. It began showing us the battlefield where me and Jon fought Slade. I looked away, closing my eyes and ears. I didn't want to see it again.

[DAMIAN'S CLOUD MEMORY]

Deathstroke: Today, is the day you finally DIE!

Jon: (punched Slade causing him to fly back) why didn't you take your pill??

Damian: He destroyed it... (coughing blood)

Jon: (facing Damian) Take my pill.. You're going to need it more than I do..

Damian: NO!

Jon: Please..

Damian: I said no! (Chocking)

GUNSHOT

Damian: JON!!!

Deathstroke: So you're Superboy-.... (dodged Jon's attack)

Deathstroke: You took my old family Damian! Now I'm going to take your new ones! Starting with your bes---....

Damian: Jon Stop!! He has a kryptonite katana!! -- you're losing to much blood and energy!!

Jon: hes made it personal!

Deathstroke: How can anyone ever be friends with that ungrateful bastard?!



Jon: (heat vision blast) SHUT UP! He's no longer the Al Ghul you've once known! He's changed! And it's because of that, he has friends and family that loves him!

Deathstroke: You may call him your best friend, but does he??---...

Jon: (charging towards Deathstoke in a fast speed) I SAID SHUT UP!!

PIERCED

Damian: NOOOOOO!!!

[CLOUD MEMORY FADE]

[DAMIAN'S POV]

Even with both my hands covering my ears, I could still hear the horrifying sound of that kryptonite crystal being pierced into him. My cloud memory faded away. I removed my hands from my ears and sat back in normal position. It didn't take long before Raven began speaking.

Raven: He, he saved you..... He put his life in risk, to safe, you... Damian I--

Before Raven could finish talking, a huge gust of wind rampaged in the room, knocking down more than 3 rows of chairs, including ours. I lifted my head to see what caused it... Just my luck...



Superman: WHERE'S MY SON?!?!
