We're All We Have Left

The Truth

Hollow stayed in the medical wing with Omen the whole time, if he woke up he wanted to make sure he didn't have a panic attack. About an hour after he had sat down next to Omen Hollow heard people talking outside the door. He got up and opened the door while the heroes were debating whether or not to knock.

Hollow quietly sighed, "Would you all shut the fuck up?"

They all stopped talking when Hollow spoke and the cloaked teen sat next to Omen again. The heroes eventually walked into the room and they saw Omen, Hollow had taken off his coat and shirt to treat his wounds but he put Omen's shirt back on after he was done. Hollow also took off his weapons which were currently next to his coat either leaning on the wall or on the floor.

Omen's left arm was the only thing not covered with the blanket since the needle was in that arm but it was partially bandaged up. You could still see some of the scars on his arm though, the heroes seemed to be staring at them before Batman looked at Hollow. "Care to explain what's going on?"

Hollow rubbed his eyes, "After Omen wakes up."

Aqualad hesitated for a second, "And if he doesn't wake up?"

"He's had worse wounds and he somehow survived."

Black Canary looked at him sadly, "What happened to you two?"

Hollow quietly sighed, "Let's just say," he pulled up his sleeve to show his own scars, "It's not a pleasant story." Hollow pulled down his sleeve again and he put up his hood so his face was hidden in shadows. The heroes left the room one by one until Hollow was the only one left, he moved some hair out of Omen's face.

Hollow held Omen's hand and he kissed his boyfriend's hand before he sat back and waited for Omen to wake up. After a few hours Hollow changed the now empty blood bag to a new one and he sat back down again. After seven hours Omen opened his eyes and he looked around. Hollow saw him open his eyes and he smiled.

Omen smiled back before he looked at the needle in his arm and Hollow held his hand. "The needles only for a blood transfusion, once the bag is empty you can take it out."

Omen looked at Hollow again, "I'm guessing we have to explain this to the heroes?"

Hollow nodded, "I told them that I wouldn't explain until you woke up, you have a say in what they find out."

Omen sighed, "This is fucking annoying."

Hollow smiled before he kissed Omen, "I'll be there the whole time okay." Omen nodded and they stayed silent until the blood bag was empty and Omen pulled out the needle. Hollow grabbed Omen's coat as the halfa sat up and he put it on before putting the hood up, then he strapped on his weapons.

Hollow mentally sighed, "Are you ready to tell them?"

Omen rubbed his eyes, "No, but if we don't do it now I won't want to do it at all." Hollow held his hand out to Omen and he took it before he carefully stood up. Once he was standing Hollow watched him to make sure he didn't fall but he seemed to be able to walk on his own.

When they finally got to the living room everyone's eyes widened when they saw Omen walk into the room. Omen smirked when he saw their reactions, "Geez, you look like you've seen a ghost."

Kid Flash looked like his brain was about to explode, "How are you awake right now, let alone walking?"

The heroes couldn't see Omen's face but they could tell that he was amused, "I told you before, I'm tougher then I look."

Black Canary quietly sighed, "I think it's about time for both of you to explain what's going on."

Hollow crossed his arms, "Fine, I'm warning you now that it's not pleasant."

Batman looked at the two teens sadly, "Explain from the beginning, who were they and what happened?"

Hollow looked at Omen and the halfa mentally sighed, "Those people used to be a branch of the government, they were shut down a long time ago. They were shut down for inhumane experimentation on what they officially called unknown subjects. After they were shut down they continued their experiments in secret, that's where I come in."

Megan looked confused, "What do you mean?"

Omen put his hands in his pockets, "I was their experiment." The heroes looked horrified, Hollow kept an eye on Omen in case something happened, he didn't need to have a panic attack right now. Omen continued, "I'm not going into detail about what they did, let's just say that it wasn't fun."

Hollow put a hand on Omen's shoulder, Hollow decided to speak, "A few years later they kidnapped me. I wasn't an experiment though, they used me to keep Omen in line, if he didn't do what he was told they'd torture me. We eventually escaped and that eventually leads to where we are now, that's pretty much it really."

Superman looked confused, "Hang on, you didn't tell us how Omen has powers."

Omen answered, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

Batman looked at him, "Will you at least try?"

Omen took a deep breath, "Fine. The reason I have powers is because they killed me, the unknown subjects they used to experiment on were ghosts. They needed a ghost to experiment on so they made one, they killed me and I had powers because of it."

The heroes looked shocked and Omen was indifferent, "I told you that you wouldn't believe me."

Kid Flash was the first to get over his shock, "But ghosts can't exist, it's scientifically impossible."

Hollow glared at the hero, "You've fought monsters, have seen people use magic, and fight with people from different planets. If you seriously think that the possibility of ghosts existing is impossible then you must either be in denial or you're dense."

Artemis smirked a little, "Or both."

Kid Flash was about to respond when Batman cut him off, "That's not what matters right now."

Omen face palmed before he shook his head and looked at the heroes again, "If that's all I'm done talking about this."

Black Canary spoke, "Hold on-"

Hollow knew what she was going to say and he glared at her, "Don't." His tone sent chills down the heroes spines, before anyone else could say anything Omen walked out of the room. Hollow followed Omen and no one tried to stop them from leaving, they felt bad for the two.

Omen and Hollow left the mountain and went home, it was late so they just went to bed. They were still injured so sleeping for a while would be good, Hollow was just hoping that Omen would be okay.
