A New Beginning- a MariJon story

Ch. 50

~2 hours previous~

For the first time in a long time, Marinette woke up happy. Her neck hurt, and her arm was numb, but she was happy. Which happened to be the only emotion other than blinding anger that she had felt in a long time. 

However, that feeling was ruined about 10 seconds later when Dick came bursting into her room, panicked and covered in blood. He scared the bejeezus out of Jon, who shot up and crashed into the ceiling.

"What do you want, Grayson?"

"Jason..I...Tim..."

"Spit it out."

"Jason attacked Timandsthenheranoff and we can't find him and we need your help!"

"Excuse, Master Richard, but I think it would be best if I explained to Miss Marinette what is going on. Oh and, Master Kent, if you could please clean up the plaster before you leave, that would be much appreciated." Jon sunk down from the ceiling just as Alfred walked in the room. 

"Of course Alfred."

"Alfred, what's going on? Why is Dick covered in blood?"

"What do you know of the League of Assassins, Miss Marinette?"

~*Spongebob narrator voiceover* 90 minutes later~

"So that's where Damian lived out his childhood?" Asked Jon, "Interesting."

"Right. So What you're saying Alfred, is that with the combined powers of Tikki and Plagg, I can..draw the pit out of him. Wouldn't that kill him? I mean, The Pit is what brought him back, so..."

"As far as I can tell, all you will be doing is purging the 'evil' from the pit, not actually getting rid of the magic." 

"So he's not gonna, like, die?"

"No. He'll be fine."

"Alright, let's go find him."

"Actually, Miss. Marinette, I know where he is. He's been hiding in his room,"-at this point, Dick got up and left-" for the past couple of hours."

"Okay. I'll meet you there in a minute. There is someone I need to talk to before anything happens."

"Of course Miss Marinette. Just, don't be too long." 

"Jon I think it would be best if you went home. I'll see you at school tomorrow?"

"Yes ma'am," he said cheekily, "see you soon."

"Bye Jon!" With that out of the way, Marinette turned to her sewing box. 

"Plagg," she said softly, "can you come out please?"

Slowly, a small black blob floated out of the box.

"Will you help?"

He said nothing, just nodded sadly and held the ring out to her. Marinette felt guilt surge as she took it from him. She hadn't thought about how he was feeling. She had been too wrapped up in her own little world to think about anyone else. 

"I'm sorry Plagg." Her voice was barely a whisper.

"Me too."

There was nothing, and there was everything. It was both dark and light, painful and painless, loud and silent. Jason opened his eyes to a swirl of colors, greens and reds and pinks and blacks and whites swirling and whirling around him at a dizzying rate.

He blinked again, and a path was made between the colors, straight and narrow, laid with black and broken tiles. He got up, unsure of what he was going to do, knowing only that he had to follow the path.

He moved along, pulled by an invisible string, Almost floating over the ground as he walked.

Ethereal was the only way to describe it. The sights, sounds, and smells, the experience of going somewhere one could not control. He moved along the path. barely aware of himself, only following the tug he felt in his heart, pulling him towards a light.

As he got closer the flashing lights, and swirling colors that screamed at him faded away. All he was left with was white walls and a dark path and echoing laughter sounding around him. 

As he walked, a door appeared where the light emitted. The door was white, and, if he had not been staring straight ahead, he would have missed it. 

He stopped at the door, a sense of dread filling him that he could not explain, and yet he still pulled it open. He watched in abject horror as his hand rose of its own accord and pulled the door open, revealing, in all its glory, the other side.

"Welcome, Jason. We've been expecting you."

A/N- Ayo new chapters up!!!  It's about time for me to start tying together loose ends and finishing this fanfic, unfortunately. We probably only have 15 or so more chapters. Less if I consolidate. That doesn't mean I'm ending the fanfic, just that this story will be over. Once It's finished, I'm going to do one-shots with the characters(I'll take requests!). Thanks for reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
