More Than Anything - The DamiJon Sequel

Project: AngelBat

Tomorrow. 10 am. The Fortress of Attitude.

Damian was typing on the computer in the Fortress as he happened to come across on a file set by Jack a day after his return. 

"What is this?" Damian hovered the cursor on a file called 'The War'. He clicked on it as imaged emerged of Jack fighting on the front lines on different planets emerged. One photo emerged with Jack missing an arm, then another where he was trying to save some civilians. "Shit." He gasped. He clicked on a video file, which seemed to be playing a news report of alien origin as the language was unrecognizable to Damian. The video played and showed Jack tied to a chair bloody and shirtless.

"Oh... you're watching that." Jack surprised Damian as he stood behind him. "That was my last few days of my 3 year capture... held me for ransom. They advertised it..." He explained. "They did get me... but I got killed in the rescue... came back, and they made me fight again..."

"I thought New Genesis were the good guys?" Damian looked at Jack.

"Well... War changes everyone bud." Jack nodded. "They were good... but... the war changed them... That feeling... that fever... that... rage... feeling of powerlessness..." He clenched his fists. "It can make someone... cruel."

"Should've been there." Damian lowered his head.

"I wouldn't want you to be there..." Jack looked at him. "I would've sent you home if you were there." He patted his shoulder. "Hey, come with me..."

"Oh yeah, where?" Damian stood up.

"Star Labs." Jack announced. "My protege... Well... former protege... William Fulton... is head of Star Labs since I disappeared.... as the bat records would have it."

"Oh yeah... Jack." Damian tried to explain.

"I know... They're threatening to close Star Labs down." Jack nodded. "Not on my watch. Star Labs can do a lot of good."

"Their reputation got tainted a couple years ago." Damian explained. "Fulton got replaced by Clayface for a year... used the technology in STAR Labs to almost turn everyone in Metropolis and Gotham into clay. Stopped him though, but the blame went to Fulton, and Star Labs... the government and the public deemed them dangerous."

"I thought Wayne Enterprises were partners with Star Labs." Jack raised a brow.

"The board decided to remove them." Damian rubbed the back of his neck. "For the business they said."

"Hmm..." Jack hummed. "We'll find out a way..." Damian nodded. "Is Dick here yet?"

"Recognized. Nightwing. B-0-1." The zeta tube announced as Jack and Damian approached him. 

"Hey, lil D. Jack." Dick smiled as he hugged them both.

"Hiya." Jack chuckled, hugging Dick back. "Let's go?" 

"Let's go." 

"Recognized. Batman. Z-0-9. Orothos. Z-1-3. Nightwing. B-0-1." The zeta tube announced as they emerged in Damian's basement.

"We'll take your car." Jack looked at Damian, who nodded. They walked upstairs and started to walk out of the front door.

"Hey, leaving so soon?" Jon raised a brow, eyeing everyone.

"Yeah. Wanna come, bud?" Jack asked. "You busy?"

"Not really." Jon shook his head. "I'll come then." He nodded as he super sped to their room and get necessary items as he arrived in front of Damian. "Let's go." He smiled as Damian held his hand, all of them walking out of the door, with Jon locking the front door. They all entered the car as Damian drove.
