THE LOST DAYS... Round 1.

[mind_blown]

It's all darkness.

The feeling of nothingness, of being nothing. Of not existing. You have no thoughts, you will never have any thoughts again. While that fact is not comforting, because you cannot be comforted anymore, it is true.

There's a certain rest to being... nothing. And to both knowing and not knowing, that your time is done.

So it's all the more unfortunate when you feel, because you shouldn't feel. And the feeling is burning in your lungs, which you shouldn't have. Because you are- or were- nothing.

And then, you inhale a desperate gasp of air and open your eyes...

I don't think he knows what t'do with himself either. The closest thing he's had to a normal life is in Hell.

[Nero bows his head for a moment, and takes a deep breath.]

You'll figure it out. I believe in you.

Re: Lazarus Pool - DO NOT COMMENT UNLESS LINKED TO THIS

[mind_blown]

Yeah. Little brothers, though. They're stubborn as hell.

[he runs his hand through his hair one last time before pulling back.]

Re: Lazarus Pool - DO NOT COMMENT UNLESS LINKED TO THIS

[gigadevilbreaker]

You love'im.

And I love you. No matter what.

[Nero sneaks in one more kiss before he pulls back.]

Re: Lazarus Pool - DO NOT COMMENT UNLESS LINKED TO THIS

[mind_blown]

I know.

Anyway, I gotta go pick up a troublemaker.

[he headnods towards the exit.]

Re: Lazarus Pool - DO NOT COMMENT UNLESS LINKED TO THIS

[gigadevilbreaker]

[He nods, letting him go. But not before asking,]

Don't suppose you have a spare gas mask somewhere around here?

Re: Lazarus Pool - DO NOT COMMENT UNLESS LINKED TO THIS

[mind_blown]

[he raises an eyebrow.]

... Are you seriously gonna try a repeat performance of Talon's heart?

Re: Lazarus Pool - DO NOT COMMENT UNLESS LINKED TO THIS

[gigadevilbreaker]

What? No, but the exit got flooded with gas when me and Talon were in Arkham earlier. That's why we ran for the basement.

Re: Lazarus Pool - DO NOT COMMENT UNLESS LINKED TO THIS

[mind_blown]

[he rubs his face.]

Yeah.

I'll get something for you.

[he starts to walk towards the back, where there seem to be cabinets? but mostly they'd looked unimportant.

but jason will pull out a mask to hand Nero.]

Here.

Re: Lazarus Pool - DO NOT COMMENT UNLESS LINKED TO THIS

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Nero puts it on immediately because YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO SAFE, IN BAT HEARTS]

Thanks.

...I swear I'm not gonna kill anything for real this time.

Re: Lazarus Pool - DO NOT COMMENT UNLESS LINKED TO THIS

[mind_blown]

Please don't.

[but he'll let him go, if he wants.]

Even the stuff you wanna kill.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[His voice is low as he mutters,]

Don't worry, I learned my lesson.

[now which way to the loony bin]
