“Stay behind..—I’ll check this area.” Dick Grayson, the captain of his crew, said to all of his soldiers. His eyes teared up, feeling as if the oxygen from his lungs had been sucked out. He walked forward, his steps slow and shaky. He’d been so much he past 10 years, and now he must suffer the sight of the lover he never knew had passed.

Dick Grayson was the reigning king of Ithaca. He’d been away from home for many, many years leading his men in the war. He’d fought trojans, a cyclops, a wind goddess, Poseidon himself—not to mention a witch. He fought for his crew, his people, his child..but most of all he fought for his partner—his soulmate.

He was on his way home, yes he had to take a detour through the underworld, but he was coming for you..or so he thought. His plan was to get home to his kingdom, and make as many new memories with you and his kid as possible. But here you were..in the underworld..dead. He took too long. “My love…” he called out, his words barely above a whisper, more like a shaky breath. He fell to his knees, looking up at you with a beyond guilty look. He let you down.
