I groaned as my eyes fluttered open. I was still in a cave. I had been- for a long time. I remembered the cold, greenish waters as they enveloped me and tore away my aches and pains. The large bloody gash on my wrist was gone, not even a scar remained to remind me of my failure to the Team- my short term friends. I wish it could heal my heart. I wondered if they would ever accept me again. The last few days (I suppose) were a haze. I could remember the warmth of being carried by strong arms. But now was the first time I actually studied my surroundings. Two more people were beside me, and with a jolt I recognized them.

"No way. Why are they here?" I whispered.

"Hello, Demary." Someone stepped from behind a stone column. He had tousled hair and he held a red mask. He was really tall, and handsome if I may say myself. His posture was similar to Nightwing's but his eyes held a lot more emotion.

"Who are you?" I asked, my breath hitching. I chocked and coughed. My throat was raw.

"I'll tell you later. But really, you've been talking a lot to me."

"I have?!" I said horrified. What did I say?

"You really were out." He shook his head. "Jeez."

"What- what did I tell you?!" My eyes widened.

"Mostly about what happened. But you were really hard on yourself." He said and walked over.

"Why wouldn't I be? If you knew what I had done..." I swallowed.

"I know."

"H-how?"

"I was there." My eyes narrowed.

"Just who are you?!"

"Telling you know would spoil the fun." He smirked, then regained his emotionless face.

"Fine." I huffed. "What do you want?"

"You realize that the closer you are to a Lazarus Pit- the stronger you are? I mean, you're already damn strong away from one..." He said.

"Yeah yeah."

"So what I need you to do is complete their healing process." He pointed a thumb back at the two unconscious figures.

"But-"

"They're to far dead for the Lazarus Pit to heal completely, but their souls are still here."

"Here? As in, here in this cave?"

"'Course not. Doctors Fate has them." He said casually. I nearly choked.

"He has their souls?!?!"

"Well yes. The helmet tends to do things like that."
