Is this the End?
The Taste of the World

{Damian}
The moment I turn around to face him, waters broke through the window from behind me. It took me a moment to realise what's going on.
It was a tsunami attack.
I started swimming towards the surface but my body was being pushed agaisnt the wall by the waters that are coming in.
I felt glasses pierce through my skin, sticks and stones hitting my bones, and the salt waters burning my eyes, causing me to scream internal. I ignored the pain and swam with all might and manage to get my head above the waters. It only took me a couple of seconds to catch my breath before the waters rise up above my head... completely drowning me.
Many things in all sizes and shapes started gliding all over me. Something big, slammed against my head, causing extreme pain and dizziness. The water was cold, which made it harder for me to swim.
My vision was blurry but it was clear enough to see the submerged restaurant. There were many dead body flaoting along the water patterns.
By looking at them, I then remembered Jon. I started looking but he's no where to be found. Then, through my blurry vision, I spotted the colours of his clothes floating further in front of me. I started swimming with all my strength... pushing against the current, at the same time, avoiding the random pain and stings in my body.
When I approached him, I noticed that he wasn't moving and his eyes were closed. I couldn't tell if he was out cold or... dead. That's when, I started panicking. I shake his head, trying to wake him up, but he didn't. I then ball my fist and punched his face but he remained the same. I was running out of air every second. I took his wrist and started pulling him towards the light, which was the exit. But he wouldn't move. I use both my hands and kept pulling but it was no use. I look down to see his foot trapped in a metal pole.
I felt my lungs burning because I was really low on air. But nevertheless, I swam towards his foot, and try to set it free.
It was no use. The pole was twice the weight as me. I couldn't pull it on my own. I need help. I tried kicking or pushing it with my back. But it didn't work due to the lack of oxygen, I had no strength.
My body begans to give up. The pressure in my ears popped. I can hear the ring. I felt the burn from all the dirt and chemicals in the water. My vision completely blurred out and my lungs are critically low on oxygen.
I had enough strength to swim out but I couldn't leave him. I don't want to.
Is this the end for me? Those words began running and echoing in my mind.
I wrap my arms around his legs, and lean my forehead on them, ready to accept my fate. Just before I was about to close my eyes, I noticed something strange, swimming towards me. It had a human body and a fish like tail. It had hair-like things around it's body. I thought it was help but then again, I may just be hallucinating. It began approaching closer and closer to me. As it got closer, it held out it's hands, where something bright, floats over it.
Unfortunately, I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore because my lungs finally gave out. I gasp for air, but all that's entering is water. I felt my heart slowing down and my brain shutting down. I began to feel really dizzy. I held onto Jon's leg and hug it.
"Thank you, J." Was my last thought. And suddenly, the pain ease down and I start to feel calm.
3 hours later..
Centre of Metropolis City
7:32p.m.
"No no no!!!!" The Man of Steel cried. "Jon?! Jon!!" He called out to his son. "His heart is still beating, but at a very slow rate." Superman said while scanning his son. "Then?! What about Damian?!" Nightwing burst out his concern for his little brother.
"Him as well. But he has too much water in his lungs. It's only a matter of time before his lungs gives up completely." Superman said. "We need to drain the water out, fast!" Batman said. "Diana! Lantern! Get him to the hospital! I'll be right there!" The Dark Knight instructed. The Princess of Themyscira lifted the son of Batman and took off to the hospital along with Hal Jordon.
"I'll follow them." Superman said as he lifts his son and flies off with the other heroes. "Thank heaven..." the butler of the Dark Knight cried. "It's okay Master Bruce. He'll be okay. He and Jon both." Alfred comfort Batman and Nightwing.
"Hey! I'm sorry to break this moment but it's not over yet!" Catwoman brought the depressed heroes back to their senses.
"Right!" Barbara snap. "You goody heroes may have stopped the tsunami from destroying more of the city but there are still people who are very much ALIVE, under these waters! Move your asses now!" Selina reminded the heroes.
"Alpha squad, we need you in the heart of Metropolis now!" Dick ringed the Atlantian teams. "Ivy, could you pull the people out with your vines or something...??" Catwoman suggested. Ivy kept a pissed expression on... but then got up to do what her feline partner suggested.
"I cannot believe my life has come to a point where I'm helping you people." Poison Ivy conjured up dozons of seaweed from below, creating a bed to lift the remaining survivors.
"Oh come on Pammy... Batsy saved your life rememba?" The former jester reminded her.
"Yeah show some gratitude for once in your life will ya??" Cassie said from a high distance.
"Whatever." Ivy responded.
"Batman calling to Zatanna, Dr Fate, and Raven. I need the three of you to meet up with Superman at the Metropolis Hospital now!" Batman spoke through his communicator.
"On the way Bruce." Zatanna replied.
