More Than Anything - The DamiJon Sequel

Aftermath

"DAMIAN!" Jon yelled from the top of his lungs. "DAMIAN!" he continued, longing for the love of his life. Damian had left, to go back to the league in order to protect Jon and his family. Jon clutched his chest as he felt his heart shatter into a million shards. He knelt down on his knees as he begged for his boyfriend's return.

"Dami..." Jon wailed as he covered his mouth, muffled sobs escaping through the crevices of his fingers. "DAMIAN!" He yelled again. "COME BACK! Please..." he begged. "Don't go... Don't go... come back... please..." Jack heard his screaming as he stormed in.

"Jon?!" Jack looked to see his best friend in a disheveled heap, kneeling and extending his arms trying to get a response from Damian. "Oh Jon..." Jack bit his lip, trying to be strong for him as he approached him. Jack knelt down to Jon and grabbed him for an embrace. Jon immediately hugged Jack back and cried loudly on his shoulder.

"He left me...." Jon whimpered. "He's gone... I-I couldn't stop him..."

"I'm so sorry Bud..." Jack rubbed his back to comfort him. "I'm so sorry..."

"I can't..." Jon wailed. "I can't... it hurts Jack... it hurts too much..."

"I wish I could do something..." Jack comforted him. "But I promise... I will get him back... I'll bring him back to you... However hard, however long... I won't ever stop." He promised him. Jon couldn't stop crying. His pain was too immense.

"I can't do this without him..." Jon replied. "I need him... He's my whole world... my whole world..." He wept.

"Shh... It's okay I'm here... I'm here..." Jack replied as he looked up to the night sky. Damian... He thought to himself.

"It's not okay..." Jon continued to cry his heart out.

"It isn't..." Jack rubbed his back. "But it is what it is..." 

"Damian..." Jon whimpered. "My Damian..." Jack hugged him tighter.

"Let's get you to bed..." Jack said. "Come on..." He then guided the heartbroken Jon to the bed. He lied him down, and tucked him in. Jon turned to see that one side of the bed, where Damian would lie was empty. He whined and whimpered as he clutched the sheets where Damian's body would lay on. "I'll be back... I'll just have to go tell them..."

"I... want to tell them." Jon sniffled.

"Jon, you don't have-"

"Please." He begged.

"Okay..." Jack said as he guided the heartbroken Jon up. Jon stood up, Jack went to wipe his tears away. Together, they walked towards the cave. Jon found it hard to go down the stairs as they headed down. They both then entered the Batcave, where everyone was at work on finding a way to protect Damian, who already was gone. Jon and Jack stood at the foot of the stairs as they looked at the rest of the family who were hard at work. Dick noticed them both and approached them.

"Jon?" Dick asked. "You okay? You should be resting." He looked at Jon, tears were streaming down his face as Dick moved in closer. "Whe-where's Damian?" He asked, fearing for an answer. 

"D-Dick..." Jon tried to speak, but his emotions overwhelmed him. His sadness was unbearable as he covered his mouth, desperate to hide his sobbing. Dick quickly hugged him.

"I'm so sorry." Dick said hugging Jon. He hugged him back, gripping on his shirt, as he began to cry. His cries echoed throughout the cave. Jason and Tim just stayed where they are, feeling for Jon. Bruce, took off his cowl and walked towards Jon.

"I'm so sorry Jon." Bruce said, placing his hand on Jon's shoulder, while being hugged by Dick. Dick never released him from the hug and only tightened it.
