The funeral was a short one, heros gathering around to commemorate the young boy. Tears were shed, sobs were heard and words were left unsaid. Nolan stole his mothers car, to deive them to Mr.Jackson. When all the people flooded inside after burying Damian that is when Kamilah and Evelyn went into action.

They put masks on and tied there hair up. They dug the grave, dirt flying everywhere. When they finally reached the casket, the open the top and saw Damian. They both froze, taking in the sight of the horrible boy. A scar ran down his left eye, stopping just above his mouth. A scar on his throat going from just under his chin to below his adams apple. A large J was on the right side of his neck. Kamilah choke back a sob, opting to lift the boy out instead. They handed the body off to Sam and Nolan and continued to bury the empty casket.

"Hey, this will work" Evelyn smiled, whipping dirt off of her face. Kamilah kept digging, smiling at the girl. "It better" she murmured. Evelyn laughed, "He is Damian Wayne, he won't let the Joker kill him." Kamilah smiled at this. Damian was, is, stubborn. Once they finished digging up the Grave, they went to the car. Evelyn and Kamilah sat in the front, with Evelyn driving. Nolan and Sam sat in the middle, legs up on the seats in front of them. Damians body was lying peacefully in the back.

"Time to hit the road" Evelyn smiled, turning on Dancing Queen by ABBA. They started to drive, blasting music and reading books. "this is going to be a long drive" Kamilah muttered to hearself.

Evelyn was on her phone, taking photos of the beautiful sunset. Kamilah was trying to focus on the road, but couldn't because of Sam and Nolan's argument. "Water is wet" Sam yelled. "NO IT ISN'T" Nolan screamed back. "SHUT THE FUCK UP" Kamilah yelled, gripping the steering wheel.

Sam took the wheel and Nolan sat in the front. The sun had just set and there weren't many cars on the road. "Do you think it will work" Nolan asked. Evelyn smiled, "we have to believe it will." Kamilah nodded, "besides if it doesn't we can throw him in the Lazarus pit."

They were an hour away now. After getting an okay from Mr.Jackson, Nolan started to drive. Sam passed out immediately after he sat into his seat. The sky was dark and bright at the same time. Traffic and city lights glew through the car windows.

They made it. They pulled up in front of the place Mr. Jackson lives and knocked on the door. The tall man opened and they walk inside. They grabbed Damian and placed him on a couch.

"Mr.Jackson, I want to bring Damian back to life" Kamilah started. Antonio look at her while drinking some tea. "And I was wondering if magic could do that" Kamilah said, hopefully waiting for an answer. Antonio put his tea down and though for a minute. "Well yes, you can bring people back to life using magic." Everyone smiled and Kamilah started to tear up. "But, Kamilah, you have to learn magic to bring him back to life" Antonio said, pulling out a book. "What do you mean?" Evelyn asked, looking at the book.

Antonio looked through the book, trying to find the right page. "Ah, the spell of life" He said, eyes darting across the page. "It says you must have a spiritual bond with the person you are being back to life, stronger the bond, more likely the spell will work" Antonio answered. Kamilah started, shocked by the answer. "How long will it take me to learn magic" Kamilah asked. Antonio though about that, then responded, "about three months to learn the spell of the living." Nolan gasped, "three months, we thought we would just be here for a weekend!" Antonio laughed at that, then offered "you all are welcome to stay with me until you leave or get an apartment." Evelyn smiled, "Thank you Antonio, am sure we all would love to learn some magic from you."
