Hey guys! Okay, it's like four in the morning, I've been up all night doing this for you. So if any errors, let me know and I'll change them as soon as I can. So enjoy and *yawn* nightie night!
Lara P.O.V
Every single part of me was burning. Raging with an uncontrollable fire. It blazing all over my body, veins, bones. It was never ending. I am dead, yes, but I don't think I will be for much longer. I can hear people talking, whispering and I can't see who they are. They talk about how much progress I'm making. How my body has made full recovery. But, I don't feel whole. It's like I'm alone now. Nothing left for me. Where was Nathan now? What about my baby? What about Bruce? What about everything?! I have been so selfish and probably put them all in pain right now. But then, I start to hear Bruce's voice.
"How long until she wakes up?" He asks and I could hear the worry and pain in the way he spoke. I'm such a bitch for doing this to him.
"Not long. He said that she should wake up any minute from now." Nathan replies. Where were we? I wish I could wake up now and wrap my arms around the pair of them. Tell them how sorry I am and that I'll do anything for them to trust me again.
"How's Junior?" Nathan asks Bruce.
"Fine, his asleep now. Hopefully he can meet his Mom when she wakes up." He replies. I hear someone moving around, then the patting of little feet on the floor.
"Daddy. I can't sleep. Nightmares." A sweet and innocent voice cooes. Was Junior my son? Had they saved him? How long have I been dead?
"It's okay little man, come here." Nathan says. I hear the patting of little feet get closer and then the sound of moving about. Then a hand touched my cheek.
"What's wrong with Mommy?" Junior asks and I can feel the warm smile on Nathan's face.
"Nothing, she's just sleeping. She'll be awake when you wake up in the morning." Nathan promises him. Damn it, I have to wake up now! Get a look at my son, say I'm sorry. Tell Bruce that I'll come home, if he still wants me too.
The burning suddenly just instantly stops. Just like that. Then I could feel all my body parts, I could feel my heart beating again.
"She's going to wake up soon. Her heart beat is back." Nathan says and I hear Bruce sigh.
I wake up and I sit up. Nathan was sat in a chair next to me. He looked older, maybe by... three years? He had a few grey hairs and he looked tired. How long had he been sat there with me? I notice the boy lying in his arms. He was so innocent. He had dark, jet black hair, he was asleep so I couldn't see his eyes. No doubt they were blue, like his Father's and mine. Was that Junior? Someone clears their throat and I snap my head to my right and see Bruce stood there with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Are you okay Lara?" He asks me and puts a hand on my shoulder.
"Fine. How long was I gone?" I ask and close my eyes and hang my head down.
"Lara ple-"
"How long?!" I snap at Bruce but regret it just as quick.
"Three years. Junior has been alive for two, but I made his growth so he was four by the time you woke up. He has a load of memories of being with you and Nathan." Bruce replies and then it hits me.
"How?!" I ask and look over my little boy.
Bruce's story and P.O.V
"Lara no, please, stay with me baby." Nathan cries as he rocks back and forth with Lara's body.
"Nathan move." I order as I take Lara out of Nathan's arms. I look over at Dick and he walks over to Nathan.
"Bruce, you better save them." Nathan cries as Dick helps him up. I nod my head and then dash out.
"J'onn, bring me up now!" I near enough shout into my ear piece. Seconds later I'm up in the Watch Tower and I dash to the medical bay with Lara still in my arms.
"Batman, what are you doing?" Clark asks me as he comes up to me in the medical bay.
"I'm not letting them die. I won't let them." I mutter and then I bring to cut out the baby. I put him on a bed and stitch Lara up as fast as I can. Clark takes over stitching up Lara and I go over to the baby. I pick him up and take him to the labs. I start to dash around like a mad man,
trying to figure out what to do.
I finally start to make a chemical that will go into the baby to make his growth complete without having a woman carry him. Once it's done, I inject into a needle and then put the needle into the baby. I go back to the medical bay and put it on a bed and put a oxygen mask over his face, needles in his arms to stop him from losing liquids and blood.
"Will he make it?" Clark asks me as he cleans off the blood on his hands.
"I know he will, I won't let him die." I reply and then go back to Lara. She looked so pale, so out of place like this. I put my hand over her forehead and feel her ice cold skin. I've got to save her. I'm not ready to lose any more family.
I haven't slept, haven't ate much. But I still fight for them. I haven't left the Tower. I brought Nathan up here so he could see his baby and girlfriend, who he was planning to propose to.
"I'm going to bring her back Nathan, I swear to it." I promise him as he sits next to her body and holds his head in his hands.
"What if you can't Bruce, huh?" He asks me as he stands up. He was the same height as me and we stare at each other easily. "What if she's gone forever? How will I live with that? Knowing that I couldn't save her? Knowing you couldn't save her? What will I tell my baby? 'Your Mom killed herself.'?" He questions me before sitting back down and holding her hand. I see tears steam down from his bloodshot eyes.
"I'm doing everything in my po-"
"No you're not! You're just standing here, waiting! For what?! A fucking miracle?!" Nathan shouts and looks up at me. "Do you know what I've been doing? I've been cutting even more since she died. I haven't stopped, just got better at it. I can't stop, not knowing that I, somehow, helped kill her."
I walk away from him and to the baby. I look down at him and he was growing better with each day.
"Bruce, I'm sorry. I just... I don't know what to do. Help me." Nathan sighs and I turn my head towards him.
"I will, but my sister and her baby come first. Once they're okay, I will do anything you need to be helped." I assure him and then I hear a babies cry. I turn my head back around and the baby was looking right up at me. I take the needles out of him and lift him up out of the bed. I wrap a blanket around him and Nathan comes over to me. I hold him over to his Father and Nathan smiles down at his son.
"His so much like her. My little Junior." He says warmly. I pat him on the back and then Clark walks in.
"I see someone is born." He says and comes over to meet Junior. Nathan Franics Grant.
I hate having to do this but it's the only way for her to come back.
"Ra's." I say as I enter the chamber. "I need you to do something for me."
