Something Bad, Is Coming
[DAMIAN'S POV]
GCPD Rooftop
1.55p.m.
It has already been 10 minutes since I arrived here, where is Jon?... Oh well, he still has 5 more minutes to show up before I extend our patrolling time. (Sigh) Anyways, I took out my phone and sat crossed legs at the edge of the roof, staring down the busy streets of Gotham. I wanted to unlock my phone and use an app call ZTube, but then, I decided not to. I remained the phone locked and held it in my grip. After that, I began thinking about earlier today in school. About the question I wanted to ask Jon. But before I could finish asking, I got cut off by that dang speaker phone. But in a way, I'm actually glad they did that because honestly, I still wasn't ready to ask that question. I was forcing myself, hesitating, shaking, thinking I'm the only weird one. Then again, maybe this question isn't for Jon, maybe it's for Raven, or Zatanna.. (sigh) I really don't know... But one thing I do know is that I'm have a feeling that something bad is coming. Something really bad... I got so distracted by my thought till my grip got loosen and my phone fell out of my hand. Without wasting time, I got up and pulled out my grappling hook to reach ground before the phone does. I've shot my grappling hook and was about to jump, till I heard Jon from below.
Jon: Don't worry, I got it! (Holding the phone as he flies up towards Damian)
I sighed in relief as I relaxed myself. While I was pulling my grappling hook back into line, Jon reached the rooftop, walking towards me.
Jon: Dude, you alright? (Approaching nearer towards Damian) what made you drop your phone in a sudden? (Handing the phone back to Damian)
Damian: Thinking.. Lost in my head.. Nevermind about that. Thanks (taking the phone back)
Jon: Anything you want to talk about? You know, for getting it out of your head...
Me: Maybe.. (looking away from Jon)
Jon: Ok then. (He sat crossed leg infront of Damian)
This time, I kept the phone in my pocket, and sat down, next to Jon. I pulled my knees up and wrapped my arms around them. I didn't speak, I kept silent, looking down the streets. Not long, I felt Jon's hand on my back.
Jon: Damian? What's wrong?
I took a deep breath and told him what's in my mind. I asked him with my eyes looking away from him.
Me: You know that question, earlier this morning, at school?
Jon: Yeah? You didn't finish asking it..
Me: Ok I'll ask now. Do you not have a feeling, that something bad, is coming? Like really bad..?
After asking him, I met his eyes... They seem rather disoriented. He's eyebrows were contorted with a confused frown on his face.
Jon: Bad? (Scratching his head) No......
Me: Well, I do. It hasn't stopped bugging me since this morning. Something bad is going to happen, but I don't know what or when is it going to happen. I just, feel it....
Jon: (taking his hand off Damian's back) Ok? Well, I don't feel like there's something bad coming. I think, you're just stressed out Damian. I mean, you did went on more mission than usual last week. First there was stopping Two Face
from stealing high tech guns from STAR Labs. Then it's was stopping the ice villains Killer Frost,
Captain Cold,
Mr Freeze,
and Icical Junior
from causing another Ice Age to the world.
Oh, let's not forget you and Batman stopped Joker and his minions,
including Harley Quinn,
from terrorising a house full of orphan kids. Oh, and ano--
Me: Alright enough... If I need a recall of all the missions I've gone on, I'll ask you... (sigh) But, maybe, just maybe, you're right. Maybe it's just me.
Jon: Of course I'm right.. Heck, if you would have brought me along in those missions, you wouldn't be this exhausted.
Me: Uh huh... (one eyebrow up) Well, with or without you, we brought them all to justice. They're all in Bell Reve now.
Jon: (laughing) Not all of them buddy.. Joker and Harley Quinn broke out of Bell Reve just 2 days ago. It's a mystery tho, of who broke them out.. There was a huge explosion, and a number of villains had escape..
Me: What?! How'd you know this?
Jon: I overheard my dad when he was speaking to Hal Jordon and your dad Bruce Wayne, from my house to the Watch Tower yesterday. And If I'm not mistaken, he's sent Batman, Black Canary, Shazam, Red Tornado, Vixen and Hawkgirl to search for the escaped villains, and whoever that broke them out. (Scratching head) I do not know if they have succeeded in finding the escaped villains or not.
I didn't know what to reply or even if I should speak. I just kept silent. I unwrapped my arms and sat back crossed leg position, staring down the streets.
Jon: Anyways dude, don't worry about it, I'm sure the League will track them down as always. We don't have to get involve. Now, I brought some lollipops, want one?
Me: (glanced to Jon) Do you have to bring junks every single time we go on patrol Kent??
Jon: Yeee-ah..
Me: Why??
Jon: Because, patrol time is boring... I mean, most of the time, there's not much crime happening, most of the time, there isn't any.. we're just sitting here and looking down the streets. So why not we munch on some goodies, stare down the streets and wait for time to pass.
Me: (sigh)......
Jon: So, what flavour do you want? (Opening the bag full of lollipops and checking) there's, Starweberry, Apple, guava, cola, vanilla, blue berry, pineapple and,,,,,,, mango.
Me: Cola....
Jon: (digging the bag) got it. Here you go.. (handing the cola flavour lollipop to Damian)
Me: Thanks... (taking the lollipop and opening it)
I tore off the wrapper and put the lollipop in my mouth. I continued staring down the empty streets of Gotham. Soon, I felt Jon's hand on my shoulders.
Jon: Don't worry about this bad thing coming thing. It probably won't. Even if it does happen, I'll be there to lift you up when you fall ok. (Took hands off) Now let's just finish this one hour patrol and go for the movie, you know, have fun. (Smiling)
Me: (deep breaths and release) Ok..
