The Sequel to Sleepover 💐
Whatever Jon has seen in his nightmare had came to pass. Only, this time, the heroes were ready for it. But not everyone had a victory. After the battle, Jonathan Kent was rushed to a hospita...
[AUTHORS NOTE] You know what guys, I think this story isn't getting anywhere. At the beginning, Ithought it would be nice to write an emotional story of these two... But apparently, it's notgoing well.... I kept on thinking that it sucks.... So, I'm sorry that this story isn't all that interesting but Iwill have to finish it. It's like an OCD but not an OCD 😅.. I can't start a new story without finishing the old ones because It'll be very messy. I'll have to update all the stories at once which will be impossible. For those of you who didn't quite like this story, I hope you guys will wait a little longer for a new story after, Ifinish this story. Other than that, I would like to thank you for all the love and support for this story. 😍💖🤗 Love Cyrus

[DAMIAN'S POV]
Nurse: Jonathan would like some visitors.. But I'm afraid, only three people, are allowed to see him. Two of you will have to wait here. The operating room is a little too cramp for all of you to fit in. Any accidents could be risky... (turned to look at Starfire) And no offence Starfire, but your flaming hair might just raised the temperatures in the monitors..

Starfire: (looked at her hair and back to the nurse) Sorry....
Nurse: Oh don't be honey. Don't apologise for being you... (turn tolook at Jon's parents) This won't be permanent tho. In another hour or so, we'll be transferring him to an Intensive Care Unit, ICU room. Just like every other patient, he'll have his own room. And that room is much more bigger than the operating room. Once he's transferred, more than ten guest will be allowed to visit him in one visit. For now, I'm afraid only three, are allowed...
(Sigh) I guess I'll step out of this. For sure both the parents must visit their son. So there's only one person left to enter. Maybe Superman might need Raven so that she could give him some extra information about Jon's condition with her magic... (sigh) maybe it's for the best. I don't think he would want the presence of the person who let him down...
Nurse: The parents of course will have to visit their son. (Looking at the Titans) Now it's down to the two of you. (Looking at Raven and Damian) Who will it be?
My eyes were avoiding direct eye contact to everyone. I was staring at my boots which was covered with dry blood the entire time they were speaking. Soon after the nurse finish speaking, I noticed Starfire were standing at my right, and Raven on my left. Starfire placed her hand on my shoulders and called my name.
Starfire: Damian..
I lifted my head and looked at Kori. She had a hopeful smile on her face.
Starfire: Go on...
To be honest, I wasn't expecting this. The moment she told me, to follow them, my heart began beating rapidly. I can't tell if I was nervous to see what I've caused or that I was afraid.... (sigh) look at me... Once upon a time, Damian Wayne wasn't scared of anything. He was a risk taker.. But ever since he allowed friends and family in his life, he changed. He began to develop feelings like any normal human. He's learned to have fun. He's learned to show mercy.... He's learnt many things... I don't know if it's for the better or for the worse...
Me: No, I think Raven should--
Raven: No need. The nurse has already given us every detail about Jon. There's nothing else for me to add. Don't worry, me and Kori will visit him on the next trip. Right now, I think you're the one who really needs to see him... (Spoke closer to his ears) I can feel you're breaking on the inside, Damian. You can't hide that from me... Go see him... You need to.
(Sigh) Of course I can't hide that from the girl who's powers are driven by emotions.... She said that I was breaking on the inside. Is that why I kept swallowing a sob..? I don't know.... But in a way, she was right. As much as it pains me to admit it, I do want to see him.
Me: Ok.. (walking over to the nurse and Jon's parents)
Nurse: Alright then, follow me. (Turned around and began walking)
Superman and Lois held hands and started following the nurse while I trailed along behind them. She held the sliding door open and we walked through it. We began walking down the hallway in silence. The hallway had many rooms for performing specific treatments. Each room door had a pot of green plant next to them. The room where they've treated Jon, was located towards the far end of the hallway, the Operating Room. We were almost reaching the room when the nurse began speaking.
Nurse: We all know that he's not awake yet, but don't you doubt for a second that he can hear you. He's aware of everything that's going on.
Is he? Is she just saying that to make us feel less worried? Maybe.... It's their job after all... We've arrived the Operating Room. The nurse held the door open and we entered... And there he is, Jon... laying on a hospital bed without his hoodie and lots of tubes and needles in his body. Superman and Lois walked over to the side of his bed, and I on the opposite side, where the monitor screen was.. His eyes were taped shut. He had an oxygen mask from his nose to mouth and his stomach was wrapped with bandages. Nothing but his chest was moving... He's breathing..... That's good.
Nurse: I'll leave you guys alone now. (Exiting)
I stole a glance of Superman and Lois. Lois couldn't stop sobbing and Superman's trying to remain calm.... He gently stroked his son's hair.
Superman: Hey bud... It's good to hear that you're breathing normal. You just (voice crack) need to wake up now. Please bud, open your eyes.... (sob) If you're mad at me for not being there when this happen, I'm sorry. (Crying) I'm so, sorry. I should have been there. (Sob) I hope it's not too late to forgive me.
Lois didn't say anything. I think she can't because she's lost for words and couldn't stop crying. She just grabbed Jon's hand and squeezed it tight. I kept my eyes on his closed eyes... Little did I know, the sob in my throat returned. I tried swallowing it, but this time, I couldn't. The tears in my eyes began to well up and overflowed. I turned around, preventing Jon's parents from seeing. I wiped my tears and away and took a deep breath. But apparently, it didn't stop. My eyes continued to form even more tears. I couldn't stop it. I decided to leave the hospital for now.... There was a window just in front of me and it was big enough for me to escape. I wiped my wet cheeks and made my way towards the window. I opened it and took out my grappling gun. I was about to leave before Lois called me out.
Lois: Damian? Where are you going?
Me: I (voice cracked and cleared his throat) I gotta go. Please excuse me..
I didn't want her to question me even more so I shot my grappling hook and jumped out, escaping the room.. I landed next to an ambulance van and kept my grappling hook back. I took my mask off and wiped my face dry with my hands.... I then put my mask back on and took out the keys to my bike. I signaled my bike to come and meet me in Metropolis Hospital's Entrance. (Sigh) I need to leave this place for awhile...
