The hospital conference room was silent and a tense suspense filled the room. Everyone was there. Jon, Colin, Tim, Jason, Steph, Cass, Clark, Lois, Dick and Bruce who cleared his voice and finely spoke.

"After Dick saw how bad Damian's panic attack was he got worried. He didn't used to have it that bad. So I did scans and tests on Damian. We have weekly reports and overall examinations so we were able to use them, I searched but found nothing, until. The latest scan taken on his brain showed a shadow. I feared the worst. So we immediately came out to get him. I knew he wouldn't trust me no matter what I told him so that's why we did it as harshly as we did. When we got him back we did an MRI and as you can see." Bruce pressed a button and a screen lit up with an MRI scan. "He has a cancerous cell structure that is pressing on..."

"Speak English bitch." Jason growled. Bruce clears his voice.

"Damian has a brain tumor that is causing his memory loss and anxiety. It was smaller last time so it didn't affect him as severely but now it has grown. We have scheduled a surgery with the best in the world. But even if everything goes perfect and the tumor is removed. He might not regain all his memories, if any at all." Jon tried to hold back a sob but failed, Colin grabbed his hand hard and Lois embraced him.

"When where you gonna tell us all this?" Tim said, angry and worried. Dick leaned forward.

"As soon as we could. When you guys broke into the cave we had just gotten confirmation on the surgery. We were gonna tell you we just..." Dick trailed off. He was of course scared for Damian too. Colin turned to Bruce.

"But he has forgotten again, how much?" Bruce sighed.

"Everything, he doesn't remember us, Talia, the league, anything. He doesn't remember how to speak English or Arabic. He doesn't even remember his name." Jon let out another sob and Steph did too and stood up walking out of the room, Cass stood up and followed her. Clark spoke.

"When is the surgery?" Bruce met his worried eyes, he, if anyone understood Bruce's fear and actions.

"Later today, I am flying in the best neurosurgeon from Japan. He will be here in four hours and then there is two hour prep time. The operation should take around two to six hours. Then, if everything goes well and there is no swelling Damian should recover in a couple of days." Jon looked at Bruce, tears in his eyes.

"Can we see him, please?" Bruce's face turned in sadness.

"Jonathan, he doesn't remember you." Jon desperately fought back tears.

"Please." He said, his voice betraying him." Bruce nodded.


Damian was nervously looking around the room. He was strapped to the med bed but didn't really comprehend what was happening around him. Nurses and doctors were walking around him, preparing IVs and whatnots, Damian was looking at them and shrugging back if they came too close. His eyes swept over the room till they stopped at Jonathan and Colin who were standing outside a glass door. Jon smiled and waved to him. Damian looked confused. The nurses left the room, done with what they were doing and Jon and Colin walked in and stood at the foot of the bed. Damian looked intensely at them. Jon took Collins hand and Colin spoke.

"Hi princess. We know you don't remember us, and maybe you can't understand us but... We Just needed to tell you we loved you. And no matter what happens we will be here." Colin let out a sob and Jon walked past him to Damians side, Damian looked into Jon's blue eyes. Jon slowly leaned down and Damian didn't move. Jon planted a kiss on his forehead and stroked over his hair.

"We love you Dami, please come back to us." Damian looked up, meeting Jon's eyes. Jon cupped Damians cheek lovingly but Damian only glanced down at the hand and then back at Jon. Colin came walking over and slowly took Damians hand. Stroking it with his thumb. Damian must have felt the love they felt for him because he was completely calm. He looked between the two then opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out, so he closed it again.
