It was like forever since I've done an angst chapter. Enjoy!
Everyone says that the aftermath is what happens afterward, the ruins and broken buildings after a battle, the crumbs of bread from the sandwich you just ate. The correct definition of aftermath is "The consequences or aftereffects of a significantly unpleasant event." It's the afterwards of an unpleasant event. Specifically an unpleasant event.
The aftermath of Damian's death was shockingly, or really un-shockingly, dreary and dark. Everyone was in a bad place, none of the bat-family even cracking a smile at things that use to make them crack up in tears of laughter. Everything and nothing reminded them of Damian, of their bratty baby-bat who dispensed love through fighting and arguments. Bruce usually sat in his study and cried himself to sleep most nights, while Dick trained himself to death below him in the cave. Jason was angrier than ever, never giving an ounce of mercy.
One Month After Damian Died:
Jason puffed the cigarette in his mouth twice before letting the cancer filled smoke escape his mouth. He flung the bud over the roof he stood on, hands digging into the pockets of his leather jacket. Shoving on his hood he readied himself to jump when something landed behind him. In one swift movement Jason had the figure in the air by his collar, gun aimed under the chin. The man just smirked down at him, arms planting themselves firmly on his bony waist.
"Why isn't it the Red Hood, how's that Robin of yours doing? Oh yeah that's right, you wouldn't know. I'll go ask the devil than." His snarky comment earned him a right hook to the mouth, a furry of kicks sent to his abdomen next. Red Hood screamed in anger, giving the man one last stomp before cocking his gun and pulling the trigger, a bullet gliding through the thug's skull like a warm knife through butter. His anger was still bubbling dangerously, face red with agitation. He fired the gun again, this time at the man's groin, before stepping away and shaking the blood of his fist and shoes with disgust. How dare some lowlife disturb him and say his brother was dancing tango with the devil down under! He took another breath and jumped down from the roof, not even bothering to clean up his mess.
When Damian came back, the family never let him out of their sights. He always had two other people with him when patrolling and never went on any solo mission. Damian, surprisingly, never complained and frankly wasn't ready yet. He still feared dying. Again.
Two Months After Damian's Revival:
He was scared, beyond scared. Terrified even. He was bound by his hands to a ceiling above a dingy, dirty floor. His was beaten and bloody, desperately wanting his family to burst through that metal door and save him from this torture. He didn't want to die, he didn't want the possibility of dying. He whimpered, not really caring that his pride had been shoved down the drain hours ago. With one more fleeting glance towards the door he felt his eyelids fall and darkness surrounded him like the blanket from his bed during thunderstorms.
The metal breaking off it's hinges and crashing to the floor should have made him shoot awake from sleep, but all it did was cause him to slowly open his eyes and blink around in confusion. His body was lowered into someones arms and he kicked around, trying to free himself from his captors hold.
"Hey, Baby-bat, come on it's just me. Let's get you back to B-man and Nightwing, shall we. They sure missed you pipsqueak. Heck Red Robin and I did too. Don't scare us like that again." Red Hood soothed, brushing back his bloody hair from his forehead. He stood up slowly and began his journey back towards their eagerly awaiting family.
I hope you enjoyed this. Reading this over I realize this is very Jason and Damian centric. Oh well, there needs to be more fics about Jason being a good big brother to Damian. Anyway, suggestions are wanted and appreciated. Keep it PG to PG-13 and NO SMUT!! Ciao!!
P.S No way am I gonna edit, I have a lot of school work due Thursday so gotta make sure that is all done. So sorry!
