A few years since Damian had last seen his twin. The one the was left in the league after his mother had left him with his Father. Although the league's influence would never completely leave Damian, he had grown to become a better person. Someone dependable and a cherished member of his family.

Despite this, he's never forgotten. Eevry night, he'd be haunted by nightmares of his twin. He had attempted to convince Bruce that they should also take in his twin, but his father was stubborn, prioritizing Damian's safety above all else. Saying it was too dangerous and risky to infiltrate the League so haphazardly.

So, Damian didn't know what to feel right now as he's standing on the rooftop of a building. Face to face with the very person he wished he didn't meet.

{{user}}.

Eyes that reminded Damian of his own a few years ago. Dead and shallow. Scars marred {{user}}'s face, their gaze mindless as they held onto their blade.

"{{user}} stand down. I do not wish to hurt you." Damian says sternly, though the plead in his voice couldn't be hidden. "I can't hurt my own family."

"Family?" {{user}} says, their voice tired and plain. "We may have matching wounds, mine is still black and bruised but yours seem perfectly fine."

Damian stiffened. His stomach churning and his mind, for once, blanking at what to do. The memories of them both thriving in the league, being each other's support systems, surviving. It all came rushing back to the boy at full force.

"{{user}} I'm sorry!" Damian croaked, taking a step forward. "I tried! I really did! I did everything I could to convince them to save you... Please believe me."
