When I wake up my head hurts from crying all night. I pull myself out of bed and make my way over to my bathroom. I hop in a hot shower in hopes of washing away the sadness that lingered. I get out of the shower and dry off before getting dressed.

I head over to Amira's room to get her dressed and bring her down to breakfast

I head over to Amira's room to get her dressed and bring her down to breakfast. When we get down to the dinning room I see everyone besides Jason sitting at the table. I place my daughter in her seat before I sit in the chair beside her. "Where's Jay?" I ask looking at Dick who's sitting across from me. "He's downstairs." He replies hinting that Jason is in the cave. I nod before I start feeding Amira.

Once we're finished Amira goes off to play with Joey while I go downstairs to the cave with food for both Jay and Damian. When I get there I see Raven meditating when I hear yelling. "LET ME OUT YOU BASTARD!" Damian yells at Jason. I walk over to them and hold the plate of food in front of Jay. "Eat. I'm going to handle Damian. Get Raven for me please." I tell him as he takes the plate nodding glaring at his little brother and walks over to where Rachel is meditating. I turn towards Damian's cell and he glares at me. "You lying bitch! LET ME OUT OF HERE!" He growls at me banging on the glass door. "You need to calm down Damian otherwise I won't be able to bring your food in to you." I calmly tell him holding up the plate of food I have in my hand. "I don't want your food. Just let me out of here!" He snaps at me. I sigh turning around to place his food down on the table. "I'm sorry Damian but I can't do that. Not yet. We can't take the chance of you hurting anyone." I respond looking down at the metal table in front of me.

After a minute, I finally look up and notice Rachel walking over to me. When she reaches my side I'm already watching the raven haired man in the shatter proof glass cell. She looks into the room where her best friend and ex-boyfriend is. I keep my eyes focused on my husband as I address my witch best friend. "We need to get in there in order to find Damian's memories. We'll need to weed through the junk that Talia put into his mind. Will you be alright going in?" I ask her and she nods her head. "Yeah I'll be fine." She says back. "I have a sedative in case he doesn't calm down." I tell her discreetly holding up syringe in my hand.

"Will you be okay going in Kay?" I hear Jason ask from behind me. I turn to look at him. "I've done it before Jay. I can do it again. I'll be fine." I reassure him before I walk over to the door.

Before I can insert the key into the lock, I feel a burning stinging sensation in my wrists. I look down to to see red marks forming on both my wrists. In astonishment and confusion I stare at my arms for a moment before looking up and into the cell. Inside the cell I see Damian twisting his hands in his cuffs trying to loosen them. The rings start to burn even more as Damian continue twisting in his restraints.

I swiftly insert the key and pull open the door. "DAMIAN STOP!" I scream at him pulling his attention to me. "You need to stop. You're not going to escape those cuffs. You're just going hurt yourself. And from the looks of it. Hurt me too." I say with a sigh. Damian tries yanking at the cuffs again. I step back out of the cell and lock the door before dropping the set of keys on the table near me before turning away still staring at my wrists.

I walk over to the chair in front of the bat-computer and sit down. I lift my head up briefly to see Raven still standing at the cell. I sigh once again lowering my head back down and close my eyes allowing myself to think. I must be too lost in my thoughts for the others to come down to the cave without me noticing.

"Mykie? What's wrong?" I hear the distant sound of Tim's voice ask me. I look up still partially zoned out at everyone to see them standing in front of me. I look at them and slowly register my brother standing with them. Glancing back at my wrists I see they're still bright red from Damian trying to get loose. "Kayla!" Gar exclaims pulling my full attention back to them. "What happened?" Bruce asks me.

"I... We... When Raven and I were getting ready to go into Damian's cell, I started feeling a burning sensation on my wrists. I looked into the room and he was twisting his hands trying to free himself. Him doing that caused burns to form on his wrists and some how the same thing appeared on me. What is happening? I thought the physical connection between him and I was severed after the wedding." I ramble looking at my family. "It's even different now. Before, I was only able to feel his pain but now... Now the same burns he gave himself I have too." I continue. Then I get an idea.

I spring out of my seat and jog over to Damian's cell. I pick up a knife laying on one of the tables on the way over. I stop in front of the door and look at him. "What are you going to do with that?" He snaps at me. Ignoring his question I unsheathed the dagger, dropping the sheath on the ground before placing the blade against my hand. He looks at me with wide eyes utterly confused.

Without any further hesitation I stare at Damian while I slid the blade across my palm. I feel the warmth of my blood trickle down my fingers while I watch the same thing happen to Damian. He copies my actions and stares at both of our hands.

Damian snaps his eyes up to me full of fire. "What sort of witchcraft have you placed over me?!" He sharply questions me. Ignoring his question I turn towards Bruce. "How is this happening?" I ask him shocked. "We need to find the sorcerer who placed this bond on you both. Get some answers." He ignores my question like I ignored Damian. I hold my right hand over my left where the dagger sliced, from my right hand a white light glides down to my left healing the wound. "Bruce. Call Z." I start to say before I feel an irritating presence in my mind.

"Mykayla. If you wish for answers as to what is happening between you and my nephew, meet me at the docks. Bring Batman." N'yssa speaks into my mind. I look at my father-in-law. "We need to go to the docks B. N'yssa wants to speak with you and I." I explain as he looks at me confused before nodding. "Then lets go see what she has to say." He says as we walk off to suit up.
