Mask off

Robin is back

Damian could smell something. Lavender and honey. Then, he could feel something. He was laying on his back, but unable to move. He heard voices, too quiet to make out what they were saying. Damian finally opened his eyes. There was a white ceiling. Damian was dead, so what is he seeing. He twitched his fingers, slowly gaining movement in his body. He moved his mouth and scrunched up his nose. "Damian" He heard a voice say. He turned his head slightly to the right.

Kamilah. She was kneeling there with tears in her eyes. Damian smiled, a pure and whole hearted one. "hi" Damian said in a whisper. Kamilah chocked back a sob, putting her hand over her mouth. She leaped up and hugged Damian. Damian felt the wetness on his shoulder, but didn't comment. He just hugged her back. Kamilah slowly pulled away. She looked him in the eyes, and kissed him. They both got butterflies in there stomach from this kiss, only breaking for air at the last second.

Kamilah smiled, hand on Damians cheek. "We should tell the others your alive." Damian raised an eyebrow, "others?" Kamilah laughed, "Evelyn, Nolan and Sam all helped." Damian smiled, and let Kamilah help him up. "Okay" Damian smiled, walking to the living room. "Wait here" Kamilah said, walking up the stairs. There was noises, and then a scream. Someone came running down the stairs. Damian saw the girls hair, it was his sister, Evelyn. "Dami" She cried, running into his arms. "Eve" Damian said. "Your back" she cried, not loosening her grip. "Yea, I am" Damian said.

Nolan and Sam came down the stairs, blinding smiles on there faces. Nolan launched himself at Damian, hugging him like his life depended on it. Damian smiled. Sam then hugged Damian. "I'm glad your back" he whispered in Damians ear. Damian was glad to be back, with his friends. They all say on the couch, talking about anything and everything.

"Do they know I am alive" Damian asked. Kamilah gave Damian a confusing look, "Who?" Damians slowed, even though his mouth already felt dry. "My family." Nolan gave Damian a sad smile, "We haven't told them yet." Damian stayed quiet, thinking. "Damian, do you want to tell them" Evelyn asked, putting a hand on Damians knee. Damian looked at the ground, deep in thought. "No, no I don't" He said. "Okay" Sam said, smiling at Damian.

Nolan asked, "why don't you want to tell them your alive?" Damian bit his lip, "They have said it themselves, that family is based on trust, and I don't trust them." Kamilah held damian's hand, "Why don't you trust them." Damian sighed, before running his hand through his hair. "They didn't come, The Joker had me for hours and none of them came to save me." They all nodded, agreeing it was a good reason.

"Lets head to bed, we can deal with this more in the morning" Evelyn suggested. They all got up, giving Damian more hugs before Kamilah led them to there room. They lied down, spooning and watching T.V. Kamilah smiled, finally having her boyfriend back. She turned to face him, putting her hand on his face. "I love you" She whispered. Her hand traced The scar Damian had on his face, going through his left eye. Damian looked into her eyes, "I love you too"

In the morning, Damian met Antonio. He was a nice man. He remind Damian of Alfred. Damian helped make breakfast with him. "You are all welcome to stay as long as you need" Antonio said, smiling at the boy. "I might have to take you up on that" Damian said. "I know you will find your own path Damian, you are a good kid." Damian smiled at the man, "Thank you."

They all came down for breakfast, chatting and smiling. They talked about going skateboarding at the new skatepark. They all decided that they would go at noon. Evelyn brought Damians board, so he could use that. They got ready and off they went.
