More Than Anything - The DamiJon Sequel

Lost Hearts

The Ruins of Corto Maltese...

Cissie landed on her side, as the boom tube closed right in front of her, signaling the end of the battle.

"Damian! Damian!" Dick spoke on the comm unit.

"Ri-Richard?" Damian, who just realized what had happened, replied.

"W-What happened?" Dick asked, worried. "Where are you?!"

"C-Corto... Maltese..." Damian spoke, his voice fragile as if it can break at any moment.

"Coming... ETA 2 minutes." Dick immediately replied.

"Hgnn..." Cissie groaned as she immediately sat up and looked in front of her. "No no no no!" She yelled as she immediately got back up. "OPEN IT BACK UP! OPEN IT BACK UP!" She yelled, desperately as she fell to her knees. "LET ME GO BACK!" She begged, as she wailed on the ground, pounding on the cold hard ground. "TAKE ME BACK! I-I NEED TO SAVE HIM! LET ME GO BAAACK!" She yelled at the top of her lungs as grief over took her. 

"D-Dad..." Steven whimpered, as he knelt on the ground as well. He immediately started to cry as Richard and Autumn looked.

"Oh no... Stevie..." Richard whimpered as he quickly knelt and hugged him. Steven buried his face on Richard's shoulder, sobbing loudly on it as Autumn joined in to comfort him as well.

"LET ME GO BACK!" Cissie begged, as she let out sobs that tore through his chest, smashing her heart into pieces. "Not my Jack... Not again..." She sobbed. 

"Ci-Cissie..." Damian approached and knelt down to her. "Cissie..." His voice broke as he grabbed her and hugged her.

"Open the boom tube Dami..." She begged, as she wailed on his shoulder. "DAMIAN....!"

"I'm sorry..." Damian said the words that he could only say. "I'm... so sorry..."

"JAAAAAA-AAAH-AAACK!" Cissie yelled at the top of her lungs. "BRING HIM BACK TO ME! PLEASE BRING HIM BACK!" She yelled out. 

"Cissie-"

"I can't go through this again... I just can't..." Cissie begged. Cassie shed a tear as she knelt down and comforted Cissie. Jon meanwhile, was breathing heavily, not believing what was happening. 

"Jack..." Jon let out a whimper as tears rushed down his face. 

"Jon." Damian looked at Jon, his eyes widening at the sight of no one comforting him. "Beloved come here." He said as he gave Cissie to Cassie and started to approach him.

"NOOOO!" Jon yelled out as he immediately took off flying, leaving his communicator bud behind.

"JON!" Damian yelled as he watched him fly away. "Anyone?!" He immediately pressed on his ear bud.

"Yeah?" Tai Pham replied.

"Track Jon's flight path using the satellites!" Damian commanded.

"Most out our satellites are down from the fight here." Tai pointed out.

"DAMN IT!" Damian yelled out of frustration. "Okay... I-I want to have a word with you later, Tai."

"Of course." Tai replied over the comms. As Damian ended transmission the Batwing flew over and landed just behind him, as Damian looked. The rear doors open, as Dick came running out. 

"Damian! Damian!" A worried big brother came running out. "Are you okay?!" he asked.

"No." Damian slowly shook his head as he looked at Dick. 

"What happened?" Dick saw the grief-struck Cissie and Steven as they were being comforted. He looked around the place as he started to piece things together. "W-Where's Jack?" He asked, nervous for an answer.
