Bruce Wayne only remembered one thing, a flash of light. That was all. For what happened next he wasn't sure, he then heard someone call his name

"Bruce..." it said

"Bruce..." It said again

"Bruce...wake up!" it pleaded

Bruce Wayne opened his eyes, he found that he was lying down on the floor of a place he recognized. He struggled to even sit up, but that was the easy part as his whole body ached, like Superman had punched him again and again like a punching bag. Ultimately he did sit up, he groaned and clutched his head with his right hand. He looked at it and found that he wasn't wearing the Bat-suit but his normal tuxedo that he normally wore for functions and gatherings. Then he felt a sudden outburst of strength and he stood up, he looked around and and recognized where he was.

"I'm in...Wayne manor?!"Bruce exclaimed in shock. He didn't know what was going on or how the hell he was back in Gotham city in Wayne manor, this was obviously just some sick game. He exited the so called 'Wayne manor' and found himself in the courtyard, except it was different, the grass was neatly trimmed, the sun was shinning like the flame of war hadn't corrupted it. He then gazed towards the gates of the manor and found two familiar faces, those of Jim Gordon and Barbara Gordon (Bat-girl) but the odd thing was that she was walking?!

Jim turned to face Bruce and smiled as he waved "Morning M.R Wayne!" as he and Barbara jogged away after Bruce and waved and said hello. 'What the heck is going on here?!' he decided to go to the Bat-cave to at least get some answers, he walked inside the manor and pulled the old grandfather clock aside in hopes to get inside the Bat-cave but found nothing but a sealed wall. Bruce didn't give up as there was more than one way to get into the cave, he walked out and went behind the Manor to find the waterfall that he'd normally drive through to get into the cave. He went through it and gasped "There's...NOTHING HERE?!"

At the sound of his voice, bats flew past Bruce and looked for a new location, as for the cave itself...there was nothing present. No, Bat-computer, No Bat-suit, No Robin, No nothing!Not even a damn Batarang! He ran back into the house and heard footsteps and a voice

"Bruce? Is that you?" asked the voice

'No! It can't be!' Bruce thought, but it was! The voice belonged to none-other than Martha Wayne, another figure made his way down the stairs. Thomas Wayne!

"Hello Bruce my boy!" he smiled

"M...mother?" Bruce asked

"Both yes...and no"She responded

"Whats that supposed to mean?" he asked

Then figures started to appear across the room, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Alfred, Gordon, Barbara, but the most confusing of all...Joker

"Hello Brucy!" greeted the Joker

"Joker!" Bruce scrowled as he got ready to pounce

"Both yes and no I'm afraid Wayne"

"What's that supposed to mean?! Where am I?! Wh...Who are you people?!"

"Their fragments of your subconscious Bruce" said Todd

Then a figure in black dropped from behind "And I'm the biggest one..." it said

Bruce turned around, the figure he saw was none other then...Batman?!

"NO! You're not Batman! I'm Batman!"

"No...you're Bruce Wayne, and while you were gone. I've been cleaning up the streets" said Batman as he folded his arms and took his cowl off "Father..." It continued

"Damian?!" Bruce exclaimed

"It thought you may ant to be around the people you care most about before you meet it and go" said Grayson

"Who's IT?" Bruce asked

Then the scenery around Bruce turned to nothing but a white space

"I am" Said a soothing voice

Bruce saw an angelic like figure glide down from god knows where,

"Who are you?" Bruce asked

"I am the entity, giver of life and the leader of the White lantern core" it explained

"White lantern?" Bruce asked

"Yes Bruce Wayne, As Green is Willpower, Red is Rage, Yellow is fear...White is the color of life" it explained

"I have been paying alot of attention to the events unfolding on Earth these past few decades"

"You knew this would happen?!" Bruce exclaimed slightly annoyed

"Not at this scale i'm afraid, I have seen love shatter, hope and Willpower extinguish. The only thing that is visible is fear and Rage, but amongst this...i was surprised that life is being created out of this. It seems that love hasn't shattered completely yet on Earth and Hope has risen considerably in the last four months ever since your passing"

"I've been gone for that long?"

"Indeed, a majority of events happened since then...hence why Batman over there is Damian Wayne and not you"

"I need to be sent back!" Bruce said

"I agree...and I shall send aid as well but in one condition Mister Wayne"

"And that would be?"

"Your soul...it is corrupted with the sorrow of the loss of your parents, you must accept it...and move on. Rebuild the Batman but more importantly, rebuild Bruce Wayne...rebuild your heart" It stated in a motherly way

"I will" Bruce answered

"Then suit up" It said as it pointed to Damian's Batman, Damian and Batman separated into two different beings. Leaving the Batman suit as an empty vessel that's standing

Bruce walked up to it and touched the chest plate of it. He felt light surge around him and the next moment that Bat-suit was on him, except it was a little different, it was Pitch Black. Darker than his original suit by a mile, the Bat-symbol on it changed from Black to white and it glowed a radiant beam of Life energy that was contained in it. The suit was called the Hellbat suit from his previous encounters with Darkseid but it was destroyed, and now the entity has given Bruce another chance to wear it. Except, everything that was once red was now White, including the utility belt.

With that done, The entity opened the Portal to Gotham city and rallied about nearly every White Lantern in existence to follow the Bruce's lead.

Bruce jumped through it and his army of White lanterns followed. But he wasn't going back to the Manor, oh no, he was going to the League of Heroes HQ in Washington DC, towards the Fallen heroes Memorial grounds...
