My New Home

Heart of the Ocean, Under The Sea

        Jon, please, go... live your life without me. I'm sure you'll find happiness when I'm fully out of the picture.
        When the tank crashed into the ocean, I push the top open and swam out of it. I felt no difference because the tank water were waters from the ocean. I watch the tank under my tail sank, disappearing into the darkness. Maybe someday a diver will discover that tank and be curious as to how a fish tank ended up in the middle of the ocean and starts making assumptions.
          I quickly swam deep enough to not be seen because I noticed Jon was here the moment I saw father's body being lifted out of the sea. Moments later, Jon came back into the water. I stayed where I am. I knew he wouldn't venture down to the darkness because he's still afraid of the dark. He told me before. The moment he got above the surface, I swam out of the shadows, curious on why hasn't he left yet.
           I waited. After a while, something small, came falling towards me from the surface. I reach out and took it. It was a necklace with a compass pendant on it. I look up to see Jon flying away which made me swam up to the surface.
          He flew back to the BatJet. I lift my left hand up, where I was holding the necklace. I noticed that the compass had a heart instead of an arrow as a pointer. It was different and yet, beautiful. I look back up to the Jet that was floating a thousand feet high up into the sky.
           "If this is your last gift to me, I'll gladly treasure it till my last breath." I said.
            I put the necklace around my neck and held the pendant close to my lips.
            "Maybe... I'll see you again." I said, pressing the pendant against my chest. I heard the BatJet engine roaring... which made me look up again. The Jet turned around and started flying back.
         Tears filled my eyes as I see the Jet flying away, disappearing into the clouds... and this time, I can see and feel the tears. Then, the Jet was out of sight. I'm all alone from here... in the middle of no where.

I feel like a goldfish that has been tossed out into the lake by his owner... it feels like I'll never ever, see my love ones again. I let my tears run down my cheeks, and drip down into the ocean water.
          "Time to move on." I said, wiping the tears away with my scaly palms.
          "Ahhh..." I flinched. My scales felt really sharp. I could feel a small cut on my cheek... but no blood came out.
     The scales I now possess reminds me of the times I helped Alfred clean tilapia and other kinds of seafood when he comes back from the grocery store. He usually gets seafood for Tuesday's dinner... or as he calls it, sushi. The sushi he prepares are actually good. He applies moderate amounts of each ingredients and not overdose. I would help by scraping the scales of the tilapia. I've obtained many paper like cuts in doing so because certain scales are quite thin and sharp.
         I took one last glance of the empty skies and dove into the water.

Now that my new home is the sea, I need to find a spot for me to call my own. Like a territory. But, there's nothing around me. Just darkness below my tail and light above my head. Not one creature around. It's just me.
          I decided to take a leap of faith and swim to where my tail takes me. I started by swimming straight ahead. I hunch my back, spread my arms out and push my tail up and down.

I wasn't moving in a speed of a swordfish but the speed of a turtle. I'm still really rusty in all this tails and fins. But I'll get used to it. Eventually... I have to.

"I need you to find my son!" The Dark Knight yelled from a far while pacing.
           "Bruce, calm down!" Catwoman instructed.
        "Bruce, we will find him. It's going to be difficult, I won't lie. I'm sure he doesn't want to be found right now." The queen said.
          "How can I be so reckless?!" Bruce said, kicking a vase, causing it to shatter.
          "Oh chill down Brucie... have sum hot coco! It has extra mar-- "SHUT UP QUINN!" Bruce slaps the former Jesters sweet drink off her hands, causing a mess on the floor. 
         "Bruce, enough!" Selina caught Batman's wrist with her whip, getting his attention. "There's nothing we can do right now... Damian's out there because he had an argument with his pal... it's like Mera said, he doesn't want to be found at the moment." She said. The Dark Knight tilt his head down, staring at the ground, feeling sorrowful.
           Selina Kyle pulled her whip from his wrist and hung it back on her belt.
          "Bruce honey, he'll come back... we just need to give him time to think things through with his friend." Selina held Bruce's chin up to meet her eyes.
           "Yeah Bruce... me and Pammy had fights and arguments before... to the point where we ain't speaking to each other for weeks." Harley stepped in to comfort Batman with her past experiences.
          "Take it for me B-man... as a former psychiatrist... I know the human mind and little boy wonder will return... someday." She smile, placing her arm on his shoulders.
          The Caped Crusader remained silence for he has nothing to say.
          "I've sent out a squad to search the place where the incident took place. I'll follow them too... wish us luck." Mera interrupted the Gotham girls.
           "Luck sweetie!" Harley waves at Mera. "Bring him back... please." Batman spoke before Mera ends the hologram call.
           "We will try our hardest, Bruce." She said before ending the call
