So I saw a few posts describing how the Pit’s in Jason’s body kinda acted on its own accord when spotting Danny “baby ghost” Phantom/Fenton and how they then co-parent with a half dead “baby” teenager.
But I raise YOU the idea that the Pits is already parenting Jason Todd.
When the Pits take over it’s the simple response of a Mama Bear going feral on some humans for making their little baby upset.
Jason disappointed by Batman?
The Pits snarl and rage at the man that made baby sad!
Jason disgusted at the idea of another Robin lined up for death?
The Pits howl and claw through the skin to fix the situation by beating the humans up so they can’t die!
Jason vulnerable and lost by the lack of acceptance in his return as Red Hood?
The Pits screech, biting furiously into the humans that had caused the baby to feel un-included in their games!
No one understands the reason for the Lazarus Pit’s in Jason’s body to constantly be acting up, that is until Danny comes into the picture and is like, “So your ghost parent is always watching you too, huh?” In reference to his own ghost parent (Clockwork) that likes to watch through his little tv’s on what Danny gets up to and sends a multitude of sticky notes like a distant helicopter mom.

Notes: Thank you so much, for all the wonderful comments, likes, and reblogs. You guys are awesome!
Disclaimer: I do not own DC. If I did, I wouldn’t make it as confusing as it is now.
A floating feeling encompassed me as I slowly roused. It was dark, wherever this place was. I wasn’t sure if I was truly floating or drowning as I felt myself fall in deeper. There was a calm light at the far end. Warm, and inviting.
I heard a sound. It was soft and rhythmic, like a beat, or was it more of a beep? There was a dull ache around my stomach and my lower back, which prevented me from moving. Not that I could move. My body felt heavier than a ton of bricks.
What happened?
Memories starting to swim around my head as I tried to remember. There were fragments.
Soft lights, and music.
Laughter and many figures dancing.
Men in suits.
Fiery hair.
Forest green eyes.
Perfume.
Paint, animals…
An explosion – I gasped lightly as the fragments pieced itself together.
A fight.
Damian…
The thought of his name pulled me straight into the light, away from the watery hold.
“Damian.” I mumbled as my eyes fluttered open.
“Oh sweetheart.” I heard a familiar voice sob beside me. My body didn’t feel as heavy as it used to, I was greeted with the face of my mom when I turned my head.
“Mom?”
She sobbed harder and hugged me. “Oh god, I thought I’d lost you.” Mom peppered my face with kisses. Her tears kept falling.
I lifted a hand and hugged her back as much as my body would allow.
“You’re here.” I sighed into her hair, inhaling her comforting scent. Without realising it, I had started to blink back tears. Everything that had happened, it was all so scary. I was sure I was going to die.
“I didn’t know what to do.” She pulled away and I wiped her cheeks. She wiped mine return and we started to giggle in relief.
“Mom, how did you – ” She seemed to know before I could ask.
“Wayne. Mr. Wayne had called. Said it was an emergency.” Mom told me, her voice wavered and she choked up again. “The last time I received a call like that was because of your father. I couldn’t… I didn’t know what to do, I rushed here as fast as I could.”
We hugged again. It really felt good to have her physically by my side.
The doctor came shortly after to check on my vitals. I seemed to have luck by my side that night. “Any lower and they would’ve punctured one of her organs.”, she told us solemnly. “And any later, you would’ve lost… too much blood.” Or in other words, bleed to death.
Mom clutched my hand all the while. She nodded in all the right times, and pursed her lips to keep them from quivering. I knew she was trying to stay brave for the both of us.
Once we were alone she pulled her chair closer to my bed.
Tucking her hair back behind her ear, she asked me. “Can you remember how you got here?”
I shook my head.
“Well… apparently Mr. Wayne’s personal assistant brought you here himself.” Her voice was steadier now.
“Oh… Oh!” I gasped, quickly getting up, and regretting it immediately. I winced at the sharp pain.
“Honey be careful. You’ve had stitches.” Mom eased me back down.
“Damian. His brothers. Everyone at the gala, are they okay?” I looked at her slightly panicked.
“They are.” Another voice joined us.
We whipped our heads up, Mr. Wayne stood tall at the door. “Everyone managed to escaped with minimal damage. I wish we could have prevented this.” He lamented, eyeing the machines and IV drop I was hooked onto.
My mother shook her head and
smiled at him. “You saved her, just in time. I cannot thank you enough.”
“May we come in?” He asked politely.
“We?” I tilted my head.
The man strode in after my mother allowed, and 4 more bodies filed in after him.
“Y/n!” Dick was the first to rush up to me, balloons in hand a cheesy teddy bear with the words ‘Get Well Soon’ stitched onto a heart. Following him were his brothers.
Tim waved. “Thank goodness you’re okay.”
“You gave us quite a scare, princess.” Jason came up next, with a silent Damian by his side. Damian held up a bouquet of flowers.
“You guys…” I felt so moved at their gesture. Stealing a glance at my mom, she looked so surprised it was funny.
“This is *insert your mom’s name here*, everyone. Mom, meet Mr. Wayne’s sons.” My mom gasped lightly and stood to shake their hands.
“It’s an honour to meet you.” She smiled at them.
“The honour is ours.” Tim answered for them. “Your daughter was very brave. In fact, she saved our little brother.”
Mom paused and looked at me for confirmation. I ducked my head to hide my flaming cheeks behind my hair.
“I did what I thought I had to.” I said in a quiet voice.
“Nonsense.” It was Damian who spoke up next, he tutted irritably. “Tt. Don’t downplay what you did.”
I could only stare at him, thankful that he was okay.
“These are for you.” He pushed the flowers to my face. “Thank you.”
The petals tickled my nose and I was sure I took in some pollen at the mere proximity. I sneezed a little, wincing again at the pain in my stomach.
“Ah, Damian, dear, I think you’re suffocating her.” My mom said gently as she pushed the flowers off my face.
The boy quickly apologised, turning a pretty shade of pink, as his brothers snickered behind him.
“They’re beautiful.” I smiled and took them from him. “I’m so glad you guys are all fine.”
Mr. Wayne cleared his throat. “My sons are right.” He smiled at my mom and gestured for the door. “Mrs. Y/l/n, may I please speak with you privately? I’d like to extend my gratitude. And the boys seem a little preoccupied with y/n.”
My mother looked a little flustered but got up anyway to follow him out the door.
As soon as they were out of hearing range I felt Damian clasp my hand.
“Why did you do it?” He didn’t face me as he asked, instead he played with my fingers.
I gave him a confused look. “Do what?”
“You took the blow. Why?”
His brothers had made themselves comfortable around me. Dick sat by the foot of my bed, Jason took up mom’s seat, and Tim stood behind Damian.
“I had to. He was going to hurt you.” I answered simply.
“I could’ve handled it.” His grip tightened slightly and he looked at me straight in the eye. “You’re not invincible.”
“And you are?”
“You still shouldn’t have.” He said, his voice firm.
“Why?”
“You know why.” His gaze was intense, and for a moment he stole a glance at the flowers beside me.
A wave of realisation hit me.
The soul marks. Oh – How did I forget?
“I’m fine.” I tried to keep my voice steady.
“Clearly.” He scoffed. “Being hospitalised is fine.”
I took my hand away from him, suddenly put off with his demeanor. “Why are you angry?”
“I’m not angry.” He defended. “I didn’t need saving.”
“You’re getting defensive.” I surprised myself when I answered back. Where was all this confidence coming from? “Do I need a reason to save a friend?”
“No, but now look at what you’ve gotten yourself into.” He lifted a hand and gestured towards my figure.
“You were in trouble Damian, I had to at least try!” My voice rose slightly.
“Need I remind you that – you could’ve gotten yourself killed!” He shot back.
“Well, that doesn’t matter! I’m here now aren’t I?” I snapped.
“What – of course it matters! If you had died –“
“And if you had died – who would’ve protected them!?”
I regretted it as soon as the words left me. Immediately I slapped a hand across my mouth, horrified that I just probably spilled the biggest secret I knew.
“What?” Damian looked at me in surprise.
All the angry tension dissipated, replaced with a feeling of dread.
“Forget I said that!” I blurted out quickly, suddenly feeling hot.
“No, continue.” Jason pushed as he leaned his elbows to his knees. “Why did Damian have to protect them?”
I darted my eyes across the room, looking for an excuse, praying my mom and Mr. Wayne would come back and break up this sudden tension. I caught Dick and Tim’s eyes, and they looked at me curiously.
“I – I really am not entirely sure. It was just a thought –“ The monitor stole our attention for a moment as my heart started to race. I shut my eyes and covered my face with my hands. Taking deep breaths I weighed in the decision of telling them. I was only 80% certain, after everything that had occurred, it was hard not to connect the dots.
His stature, his hair, his voice, and most of all that damn perfume. I guess no one really got that close to notice.
Should I?
Should you?
I mean this was inevitable.
Was it?
I groaned to myself feeling even more conflicted.
“Am I allowed to say it out loud?” I whispered meekly. “Wouldn’t it… you know… alert people?”
Damian looked even more confused.
I carefully took his hand, and held it closer to my chest, regarding the camera situated at the corner of the room. Steeling my nerves, I drew a small initial on his palm.
R
Dick’s breath hitched. His eyes growing wide.
Tim’s was next. Jason leaned back on his chair and folded his arms across his chest.
“But, how?” Damian looked stunned.
I tried to calm the heat on my cheeks that had now spread down my neck and ears. Playing it cool I  shrugged, and bit my lip.
“Your perfume.”
-x-x-x-
As soon as Mom came back with Mr. Wayne I felt a sense of relief wash through me. But he narrowed his eyes slightly, and I knew that he could sense the tension that was there earlier.
I gulped.
Then he broke into a smile. “I’ve taken the liberty of inviting the Y/l/n’s for dinner as soon as Y/n get’s better.”
My eyes grew into saucers.
Ah, shi-
“That’s great, dad.” Dick grinned broadly at us.
Their father’s phone beeped once and he fished it out of his pocket, his crystal blue eyes scanned the screen.
“Well, we best be heading back. It looks like we’ve got company waiting.” He told them.
They all nodded and got up.
“Get well soon Y/n.” Tim said as they all passed.
I was nearly astounded by their sudden change in character. It was as if the last five minutes didn’t just happen. Very good actors... but that was probably the price to pay when you were rich and famous. They played their part well.
Dick sent a dashing smile my way, and Jason did a mock salute. Damian on the other hand looked at me with calculating eyes. Brows slightly furrowed. He stuffed his hands in his pocket before following his brothers.
“Well isn’t this exciting?” Mom beamed at me.
I did my best to smile back with the same enthusiasm.
That night, Mom came back with her luggage, saying that she was able to take a week off from work to stay with me. I was secretly glad she did.
I couldn’t stop thinking about Damian being Robin though. Something was poking me at the back of my mind, like I was missing a connecting link to make the picture whole. I laid in bed and stared at the ceiling.
Everyone knew the Bats were related, brothers and/or what-not. At least that was the news circling around. But if it were true, then that would mean Dick, Tim and Jason were...
No, that can’t be.
Can’t be?  My inner muse scoffed at me. Are you serious right now? Damian Wayne is freaking Robin. And you’re thinking it can’t be?
Still, it’s purely speculation. If they’re who I think they are... then Mr. Wayne is...
I sighed deeply and pushed the balls of my palms into my eyes till I saw stars. My head started to hurt from putting too much effort. It’s not like they wanted me to know.
Would I be in danger because I know?
Would they try to erase my mind?
How much trouble am I in?
I don’t want Mom pulled into any of this.
I was reeling with anxious thoughts.
They didn’t react much when I had told them. It was more awkward than the silence Damian and I endured during our first encounter. When mom arrived they just smiled politely and waved me goodbye.
What did that mean? Or am I looking too much into this?
Maybe you’re looking too much into it, my muse’s words echoed.
I decided sleep was for the best. My mother had taken a cushioned chair at the far corner of the hospital room with her feet propped up the coffee table. I giggled, despite myself.
Finally after fidgeting for what felt like forever, my eyes started to grow heavy. It was nearly 2 in the morning. I yawned and slowly let myself slip into the embrace of sleep.
Until I heard a tapping on the window.
All traces of fatigue vanished as soon as I saw the shadow. It opened the window and slipped in soundlessly.
“Robin.” I breathed.
I pressed a button beside my bed to push myself up so I was in a more seated position.
He didn’t respond. We stared at each other for a good few minutes. Neither of us really knowing what to say.
“Tt, this is ridiculous.” He grumbled under his breath and pinched the bridge of his nose.
“I’ll say.” I said without humour. “In just a short time I found my soulmate, then learnt he’s living a double life.”
Robin stole a glance at my mom and arched a brow under his mask. It crinkled to the movement.
I shifted my head from side to side and told him, “Mom’s a deep sleeper.”
Hoping I reassured him, we lapsed into silence again.
I bit my lip nervously.
“I’m not in any trouble. Am I?” I hated how weak I sounded.
Robin regarded me for a moment.
“No. I’m actually impressed with your deduction skills.” He answered, making his way to the chair beside my bed.
My heart rate sped up slightly.
“I wouldn’t expect any less from my soulmate.” He smirked at me as the heart monitor picked up my gradually speeding heartbeat.
“I’m not sure if I should thank you or...” I gasped only realizing then. I pointed at the camera.
“Don’t worry. Hacked it before I entered.”
I gave him an incredulous look.
“What happens now?” I tried to decipher his emotions under the mask. I suddenly found myself wishing I could see his eyes.
“I don’t know.” Robin leaned into the chair to make himself more comfortable. “How do I know I can trust you?”
I looked away, tilting my head just low enough to let my hair fall and create a curtain between us.
“My dad used to be with the GCPD.” I started. “Ever since I could remember he was always chasing after justice. Dad used to talk about you vigilantes a lot. He admired the Bats. Said he wished he could do more to make Gotham safer. Better. Greater.
He played fair. But corruption and crime were better at the game.” Fisting the sheets, I willed my hands to stop shaking and to keep my voice even.
“He paid for it with his life.” I bit my lip to keep it from quivering. “So I created the marbles. I’m not great at fighting, not the best with a weapon either. But I know science like the back of my hand. If I could help, even just a little — I would be honouring my dad’s memory. He believed in you. All of you. And I guess it was contagious because I started believing in you too.”
I gathered my courage and faced Robin. “That’s why I took the blow. And I’d do it again if I needed to.”
...
...
... to be continued ...

June 5th 1993 ~ Rochester, NY
“Okay, don’t get me wrong, I love you and all... but, Michelle, you can’t read maps for shit,” the man joked while he drove down the quiet road in the dark, his girlfriend sitting in the passenger seat, map resting on her lap.
“Hey!” She exclaimed, playfully hitting his arm. “Well, I am 90% sure that the town is coming up soon,” she said when she turned her attention back to the map.
“So... that means we’re nowhere near the town,” he said, earning a glare from Michelle.
“Hey, David?” She asked and he hummed in response. “Shut up.” He laughed. After a few more miles and a few more jokes from David, the couple still hadn’t come across the town they were seeking.
As they were driving, the headlights caught the outline of a shape, a lump on the side of the road, too large to be a rabbit and too small to be a deer.
“Hey, what is that?” Michelle asked, as she too caught sight of the silhouette.
David averted his eyes for a second. “Probably one of Jason Voorhees’ many victims,” he chuckled.
“No, seriously.”
“Alright, it’s probably roadkill.”
As they drove closer, the shape became clearer, and revealed itself as a person, unconscious on the side of the road. “Holy shit. David, stop the car,” Michelle mumbled.
“What?”
“Stop the car! It’s a fucking person,” she said louder than before.
David chanced a quick look back to the shape to find that his girlfriend was right. “Oh, shit,” he said as he slammed on the brakes, the car skidding to a halt just beyond the body.
The two jumped out of the car as soon as it stopped, rushing to the body, only to find it wasn’t an adult. It was a child. They would’ve said that she was no older than ten at least, but the bruises and dried blood that littered her body made it near impossible to identify her age.
Her long, dark brown and matted hair draped over her shoulders, covered with a vintage gown, stained in red. They looked down to see that her feet were bloody and cut up; she must have been running.
“David, that’s–oh my God, David, that’s a fucking child!” Michelle exclaimed as she started to hyperventilate, for understandable reasons.
“Whoa, okay, just calm down. Take a deep breath,” he said, sucking in the cool night air through his nose and letting it out through his lips, getting Michelle to do the same. “Better?” She nodded, swallowing. “Good. Okay, I’m gonna check her pulse, and then we’re gonna take her to the hospital, alright?”
She nodded again before going to the trunk to fish out a blanket for the mystery girl. Luckily, she found one and brought it back to the girl, wrapping it around her delicately.
“She’s got a pulse, but it’s faint. We need to get her to the hospital. Now,” David concluded. They both decided that it would be better if David was in charge of the map instead of Michelle. They cautiously placed the girl in the backseat of their car, and drove to the nearest hospital.
About fifteen minutes later, they pulled up to the A&E entrance. David picked up the girl while Michelle ran in to give the nurses a summary on what happened. David came not long after, carrying her limp figure into the reception and placed her on a gurney that had already been prepared. The couple anxiously watched as she was whisked away.
“Are you the couple who brought the Jane Doe in?” A doctor asked the two after an hour or so.
They glanced at each other quickly before standing up, holding each others hands. “Yes–yes that’s us,” Michelle replied.
“Well, the good news is she’s stable,” she started, David and Michelle letting a breath of relief escape both of their lips. “She has suffered quite some damage; a few broken bones, some nasty cuts and bruises, blood loss and some internal bleeding. But in time, she’ll be okay.”
David nodded. “What’s the bad news?” He asked. “You said that’s the good news, so what’s the bad?”
“There is no record of her. No birth certificate. No record of any family. Nothing. As far as the world is concerned... this girl doesn’t even exist.”
“So, what does that mean for her? What happens next?” Michelle questioned, furrowing her brows.
“Well, we’ll wait for her to wake up and see if she knows who and where her parents are. If not then she’ll be put in the system, see if anyone’s looking for a foster,” she said.
“Thanks, doc,” David said, the doctor nodded and left. “You hear that? Kids got no parents.”
“Yeah, poor girl.” Michelle looked down at the ground and shook her head slightly.
“Well, what if... y’know, what if we take her in?” David offered, shrugging his shoulders.
She looked into his eyes briefly, before looking away. “David... It’s–it’s not that I don’t want kids, it’s just... look, I just don’t think I’m ready for kids yet.” David nodded and Michelle took his hands in hers. “And besides, we’re not even twenty-five yet, we’ve got plenty of time, right?”
“Right.” He smiled and lifted her hand to his mouth, giving it a quick kiss.
“Do you think we should stay?” Michelle offered. “Y’know, make sure she’s alright?”
“Yeah, I think that’s the right thing to do.”
With that, the couple sat back down and waited in the hospital seats, engaging in conversation. They were there for about a half hour when a hoard of doctors and nurses filed into the girl’s room. The couple looked at each other briefly before standing from their seats.
“Hey, what’s going on? Is she okay?” David asked one of the doctors who emerged from the room.
“She’s awake. Disoriented and confused, but she’s okay,” the doctor said, smiling at the two. “Are you two the girl’s family?”
“Uh, no. We’re the people who brought her in. We just wanted to make sure she was okay,” Michelle informed and the doctor nodded.
“Well, good thing you found her when you did. I don’t think she would’ve lasted much longer.” The doctor gave a thankful smile to the couple before he walked away.
Neither of them know why but they still stayed. In a way, they felt as though they had some obligation to stay, like she was their responsibility. They were the ones who found her after all.
“Excuse me.” They looked to see a police officer with a notepad standing patiently in front of them. “Hi, I’m Officer Jeffords. Are you the couple who found the girl?”
“Yeah, that’s us,” David replied.
“Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?”
“Ask away, officer,” Michelle smiled. He took a seat next to them and flipped open his notebook.
---
“Hi there. I’m Officer Owen Kent. I’m going to ask you a few questions about what happened. Is that okay?” He asked, taking a seat in the chair next to the hospital bed. The girl didn’t say anything, but nodded in confirmation.
“Okay. Can you tell me your name, sweetie?” Once again, she said nothing, but this time she shook her head. She furrowed her brows and stared at her hands, which were folded in her lap. “Do you not remember?” He asked gently and she shook her head again.
“That’s okay. The doctors said you might be suffering from some amnesia,” he said and the girl looked at him, confused. “Right, uh, amnesia is just a fancy pancy word for memory loss. People normally get it when they hit their head real hard.”
She nodded again. “Do the memories ever come back?” She asked.
“Sometimes, yeah. It just depends on how hard you hit your head,” he said, tilting his head to the side to look at her. “What’s the last thing you remember, sweetie?”
She shrugged. “I don’t know. Waking up in here?” Owen frowned and nodded slowly.
“So you don’t remember where you were before? Or anything about your parents?” She shook her head again. “Okay. That’s fine,” he said, noticing how her eyes were drooping shut. “Alright, I’m gonna let you get some rest. I’ll be outside if you need anything.”
He left the room and joined up with his colleague who was talking to Michelle and David.
“Hey. Does the girl remember anything?” Jeffords asked.
“No. Kid doesn’t even remember her name,” Owen said and looked down to the ground.
“Damn. What about what happened, or any family of hers?”
“Nada. But whatever happened must have been real bad; she said that the last thing she remembered was waking up here.”
Jeffords shook his head slightly. “Well, the couple who brought her in told me where they found her. There’s an old cabin not too far from there.”
“First lead. We gonna check it out?”
“You read my mind.” Jeffords smirked before walking away, Owen following not long after.
“Do you think we should go and see her?” Michelle asked once the officers had left.
“Do you want to?” David retorted.
“I don’t know...” She said.
“We can go if you want to. I mean, we stayed to make sure she’s okay and we know she’s okay.”
She nodded her head. “Yeah, okay. We still gotta find that hotel.”
“Yeah, but this time? I’m taking the map,” he said, laughing. Michelle hit his arm playfully, chuckling a bit herself.
---
The Next Day
“Good morning,” the nurse said cheerily as she stepped into the room. “And how we feeling today?”
“Good. Better,” the girl said quietly, smiling at the nurse. She still had evidence of struggle, but the cuts were healing and the bruises had started to turn a dark purple, a sign of healing.
“Do you remember anything yet?” She asked as she checked the monitors and her vitals. She shook her head and received a reassuring smile. “Not even your name?”
“No,” the girl said sadly, looking down to her lap.
“How about we find you one?” the nurse suggested optimistically. The girl snapped her head up to look at the smiling woman.
“Really?”
“Yeah, really.” She smiled, as did the child. “Yeah, we can look on a website with a list of names,” she said. “I just gotta go and do something, but I’ll be back in a jiffy and then we can have a look, okay?”
“Okay,” she nodded. “Thank you.” The nurse smiled and left the room, coming back not long after, just as she promised.
They looked for about twenty minutes before the girl found a name that tickled her fancy. “That one,” she stated, pointing at the screen of the laptop.
“Danielle,” the nurse said, as if getting used to the name. “It suits you.” She nodded, smiling as the girl did – as Danielle did.
---
“Oh, bed sweet bed.” David sighed as he flopped on the hotel bed. “I am exhausted,” he said, letting his eyes fall shut.
“I know the feeling,” Michelle replied, falling next to her boyfriend. They dropped their bags on the couch when they came in, not bothering to unpack or change out of their clothes.
They were just about to drift into a slumber when a knock sounded at the door, startling both of them. David sighed and got up when Michelle made no move to do so herself.
He opened the door to find a tall, skinny man with scraggy black hair and short stubble, decorating his face. “Can I help you?”
“Where is she? The girl,” he asked, clearly meaning business. His voice was deep and southern, not suiting his scrawny appearance.
“Uh, wha–” David started but stopped himself when he saw the mystery man pull a blade from his jacket. David held his hands up in surrender and backed further into the room as the man stepped forward. “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay. There’s no need for that, buddy.”
“You’re right, there is no need for this,” he said, flipping the knife in his hand, a smirk tugging at his thin lips. “I could kill you both without breaking a sweat. But where’s the fun in that, eh?”
“Okay, just... let Michelle go. She doesn’t need to be a part of this. I can give you what you want, just please... let her go,” David pleaded. Michelle crept into the room just then, and her eyes widened at the situation as David held his arm out, stopping her from going any further.
He chuckled and put his knife in his pocket, David and Michelle sighing in relief. “What, and let her go running to the authorities while I miss out on the fun of two people? Now why would I want to do that? And even if you could give me what I want... I don’t think you will.”
They both took a step back as his eyes turned a purple of sorts; kind of like a galaxy. His whites, his pupils, there wasn’t a part of his eyes that wasn’t that entrancing colour.
They would’ve taken another step back if they didn’t freeze when his arms were engulfed in a flame. Before either of them could process anything, it was them who were engulfed in heat, screaming until they could no more.
The man smirked as he walked out of the room, leaving the two corpses – or what was left of them – behind. He continued down the long hallway, stepping over the burnt bodies that littered them as he did.
There were four more corpses in the lobby. A small hotel full of death on his hands. But he didn’t care, he had more pressing matters at hand. He casually walked out of the building.
He closed his eyes and looked up to the sky, letting the cool night breeze wash over his face. “I will find you,” he said. “No matter how long it takes... I will find you.”
