Recovery

DamianI woke up and I was in a room with many other beds. And all contained a person I got up and walked over to them. They were my teammates and family. But two were vacant. The door opened and the chief walked in.

Mr. Charlie: Nice to see that you're awake Damian.

Damian: Uhh...Yeah..Thanks I guess. Um, where are we?

Mr. Charlie: In the SPDF base of operations or rather their hospitalization room. I woke up here as well but yesterday. Everyone seems to be in a deep sleep and will wake up soon. Turns out that day before I awoke, the security guards found us laying outside their doorstep so they brought us in.

Alfred: It's good to see that you're awake, Master Damian.

Jerry: Indeed it is, Master. *bows* Titus is alright but..-

Damian: Sh*t! Where's Marinette?!

They looked at each other and took me to her room. I couldn't believe my eyes. I entered, she wore a breathing mask over her nose and mouth, chords and cables were attached to her hands, bandages were wrapped around her hands and neck, plasters on her face and other bruises and she laid there so still. I wasn't even sure if she was alive. Emilie laid on top of her. I gently gripped her hand and they were freezing.

I brought her hand up to my forehead as I held her hand close. I felt tears escaping my eyes. I noticed Titus sitting next to me as he stretched his paw out onto the bed. Marinette...s-she can't...~~~~~

I woke up and I felt a weight in my hand. It was Marinette. Who still...wasn't..awake yet... Titus curled himself up and slept on the couch next to Jerry who was also in the room with me. I probably fell asleep. I lifted my head from the bed. I looked up at Marinette and she was pale. What am I going to do? I then turned and stared at the white string still tied around my wrist. One to match Marinette's.

The door opened revealing my family and Alfred..including Selina...

Selina: I have a confession to make...it's partly my fault she's in this state. I'm actually a part of the villain organization. I was signed into a contract and I couldn't really break it or else...I would've been in a worse state than kitten over there. I knew what was going to happen and I could've came sooner to help you guys but...I was full of myself that I only thought of myself and not of other people. I took a risk that night and went for it. And now...I really regret signing that contract with those a**holes. I'm eternally sorry.

Damian: Well sorry isn't going to bring Marinette back..but if she was awake she wouldn't have wanted me to say that. She would've said that words doesn't define a person, their actions do and the way you pulled through for us back then goes to show who's side you're on. Thank you for choosing this side.

Selina: I'll try to live up to your expectations. I may not be able to help Marinette, but I may be able to help Emilie.

She walked closer, placing her hand on Emilie's back and her eyes opened; black with purple pupils. I few seconds later, Emilie's eyes shot open and a wave of energy was dispersed. Emilie got up, shaking her body, stretching, then finally looking down at Marinette. She walked over to her and tried pushing her head into Marinette in an attempt to wake her up. She kept on trying when she finally stopped.

She sat in front of her and from there she never moved again. ~~~~~~~~~~

Countless nights passed and there on the news was everyone's worst nightmare. ~~~~~This is Cat Grant coming to you live from right outside our tv station. All internet devices and billboards all around Gotham have been hacked and all seem to be broadcasting the same thing.

Beware these supernatural criminals of the state. Highly dangerous and must be killed on sight along with their associates: (Pictures, names, ages, and breeds are included)

Marinette Dupain Damian Wayne Alya Cesaire Nino Lahiffe Luka Coffaine Kagami TsurugiChloe BourgeoisAdrien Agreste...(Etc...)

Is this a message from the government? Or is this some kind of trick or bullying tactic used because of a grudge against these young adults? Let's see what prime minister Lex Luthor has to say.

This isn't fake news, this was sent out by me and my associates. We've been getting reports of these children who were sighted committing murders and killings. The most dangerous is this young lady here (Marinette). Her fellow vampires call her their 'vampire warrior'. She must be feared and killed on sight before she harms anyone else! To take things to the next level, whoever's kills or arrests and brings in anyone one of these criminals, we, the government, will lay 10,000 dollars in cash. ~~~~~The f*ck! We've been exposed and the government we're with now is a secret, supernatural government not only of Gotham but other countries nationwide. If they manage to find us...then...we're done for. I left Marinette in the room with her father as some of the agents went to get him. I haven't slept all night or for the passed days. Everyone has officially woken up and is now under observation.

We still aren't sure how we got here, everything's just a blur. In the corner of my eye was a figure. Drake. He had two cups in his hand, both filled with coffee. He handed me one cup as he sat next to me on the couch in the waiting room. I took it.

Tim: You're worried, right?

Damian: Isn't it obvious?

Tim: Yah it kinda is. You look like me when I haven't had my daily 7 mugs of coffee for the least.

Damian: Only difference is that my reason is more of a 'reason' than yours. *sigh* Can't believe I'm asking you this but...what would you do if you were in my shoes right now, Drake?

Tim: ...That's...that's a tough question to answer..demon. If it were me, I'd be sitting with my soulmate right now and trust and believe that she'd push through till the end. Not sitting out here talking to a 'coffee addicted, loving and loyal drinker day and night'. *gets up* Spend your time with her now before you miss the chance to say goodbye if it even comes to that. *leaves*

I sighed. I gulped down the coffee like if it were a shot of alcohol and placed the cup on the table in front of me. I got up from the couch when I heard a siren go off. The lights above Marinette's door were going off like crazy. Tom stuck his head out the door calling out for someone. The medics and doctors rushed in. I followed close behind. Marinette's heart beat line that showed on the electronic box was completely flat now. This can't be real... Angel...

The doctors forced me and Mr. Dupain out of the room, closing the door. Hours had passed but they still haven't come out yet. I was really starting to get worried...no...beyond worried to the point where I was pulling on my hair. The next day came around and the doctors finally opened the door...but...with saddened faces. No...i-it can't be... I pushed my way through and saw Marinette laying lifelessly on the bed. The line still running flat.

I went over to her, sitting in the chair beside her, my hands propping my head up as I leaned on the bed. She can't really be dead...can she...? I gripped her hand just like I did before, Emilie jumping on my shoulder and onto the bed. She's never came at least a few inches of me. She curled herself in a ball and laid on top of Marinette once again. I looked up slowly as I heard hicks and sniffs near the door.

Everyone gathered and was crying, or comforting their soulmates at the lost of their friend. My father took Tom along with my brothers outside to the living room while I stayed in here. I've never felt like this before... the tears just kept falling from my eyes with no end to them. Please...it..i-it can't end like this..not yet... I pleaded to myself. I packed a kiss on her hand. I thought my ears were deceiving me when I heard...

Marinette: Dami...w-why are you...crying-g...?

S-She's...alive... SHE'S ALIVE!! I hugged her without any warning as everyone just began to wipe away their tears and smiled. Adrien, Zoe, Kagami and Luka walked towards the bed on the other side. What the hell did I just witness...she really knows how to scare the living daylights out of me.

Marinette: What's going on..? Where are we...and..*sniff* why am I-I crying..?

Damian: We thought you were...

Adrien: It's nice to see you're back with the living, bug.

Marinette: Was I dead..?

Damian: We thought you were until you just woke up.

Kagami: Mari, don't scare us like that again!

Luka: I second that..

Zoe: Marinette, you really had us scared out of our minds for the past few days.

Marinette: ...Sorry...? I really can't remember what I did or what went on for the last...'I don't know' number of days. But I just had the weirdest dream... in spite of all of this, we all need to go to London by the end of the week. There's somewhere I need to go and something I need to tell all of you.

JokeQ: What do you call a horse that runs at night?

A: A nightmare....get it?
