Dying Slowly
(This takes place one week after these events)

Damien was experiencing deja vs as he exited the cab, tossing the wad of cash at the driver. His fever was still high, though he'd managed to successfully stumble his onto and off of a private airplane (hiding in the freezing cargo hold) and get to a cab. His stomach wound was healing, somewhat, but it still bled quite a bit when he checked it. It wasn't closing all the way, which was a problem. Grandfather had twisted the blade to make sure it didn't.

Morgaine would have taken him to a hospital and forced the doctor not to say anything.

Morgaine....

He couldn't believe she was gone.

Even in his feverish state, it takes him several seconds to pick the lock to Lian's door (gods, he hoped this was her door) and get inside. The apartment is empty. He's managed to catch her while she was out. He closes the door and locks it, then walks over to her couch, where he passes out again.

This time, he would make sure his wife came home with him.

Damien had waited his wife out long enough. If he knew her at all, she would be holed up in her room with her anger. She would also be hungry.

He would sit and wait as long as he could before demanding that she speak with him.

Forty-five minutes after he left, Damien returns with Chinese food. The unlocked door bothers him, but perhaps she was just too angry to lock up. Or perhaps she didn't truly want him gone.

The state of the apartment informs Damien of what has just happened.

"Lian!" he yells, running to her bedroom. He finds the door off of its hinges and the scene practically replays itself in his head.

And when he turns around and finds the dagger and handkerchief in the coffee table, it confirms what he already knew. Rather than shout epithets, however, Damien's resolve immediately hardens into a cold rage that he knows all too well. Ra's al Ghul will die for this, but he cannot fight him alone.

Morgaine is gone and his mother cannot help him.

Damien goes to Lian's phone and dials a number.

	Slade Wilson had a couple of different phone numbers, but few at the number that Damien called. "Wilson," he said simply, when he picked it up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Father...Ra's al Ghul has returned and he's taken everything. He killed Morgaine and maybe Mother as well. And now he has my wife and our unborn children. I mean to find and kill him, but...I cannot do it alone." Damien says. "I need your help." Damien says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Star City. Lian's apartment." Damien provides the address. "Father, be careful. They are still looking for you. Especially Lian's father." Damien warns. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Damien, if there's one thing I know, it's how to get somewhere without anyone seeing me. I'm on my way. Don't go anywhere. I'll meet with you, and will figure things out from there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will be here, Father." Damien says and hangs up the phone. Then he goes about cleaning up his wife's apartment. I am coming, Beloved. Do not worry. (Reply to this)(Parent)
