I apologize for lacking with my updates. I have had a ton of homework. I greatly dislike school. This chapter has no purpose whatsoever relevant to the plot but I felt it would be a nice time to insert a small tie back to the prologue. You all can murder me, that is if you can get inside Switzerland. I love exchange programs.

At first there was only darkness

Then the patter of rain filled the dark

Illumination

The darkness was lifted, if only for a second

A blade flew through the air, hitting another with a clink

Pain

A blossoming red bloom filling up the once colorless red void

Her eyes became void, her opponents too.

Damp, petal pink hair matted with blood.

The gods were crying from where they stood in the heavens

She fell back, he fell forward

Together

Dead

Dick Grayson sat up, gasping for breath, his eyes wide and frightened. He looked around; taking note he was in his own bedroom in the mansion. Looking out his large window it was obvious it was not good weather outside. He stood up and slowly walked to the great glass expanses, clutching his hand around the white satin, drawing it closed over the setting of his dream.

Brightness

Too bright

The trees were glowing

There were no trees

The ground was a building's roof

On the highest two figures stood

Leaning heavily on each other

Falling to the side

Clouds rushed in

Opening up a torrent of storm upon the mourners

Two dead

Meghan sat up. Eyes full of tears. Her hand flew to her mouth biting back her vomit. The blood, oh the blood. She looked outside at the same sky that Gotham was seeing. Unlike the Grayson who closed off the dream, she rode out all the feelings of pain and sadness.

The pain blossomed from my chest

A smile lit his face

My fist threw his chest

To die together

We started it together

I smiled and leaned forward

'You're welcome'

I whispered

He ducked his head

His lips made contact with mine

Ecstasy

I walked to my balcony, opened it up. And went into the rain, a smile hidden under my scarf.
