(Damian's pov)
There it was again, the smell of fire, the smell of smoke, the smell of burning flesh, and the sounds of painful screams begging to live or find mercy in it all. I've been here before... she's standing right there but the cost I get the louder my words become and the closer she gets to burning.
"I wished everyday to kill myself or to have died in that fire....your speech... motive to do it-"
I'd reach out to stop her but I was always to late and I'd be forced to watch her burn and suffer until she was nothing but ashes. I was the reason (y/n) died that night, the reason why she never came home.
"Master Damian it is time for you to wake up. Breakfast has been prepared for you downstairs.",Pennyworth spoke with his usual monotone voice as he woke me from my nightmare.
He noticed the cold sweat that covered my tan skin and my heavy breathing, he even noticed the tear stains on my face. The old butler patted my back softly and excused himself so I could have a moment alone. This is how it's been since (y/n) disappeared, and I'm forced to live with the guilt and thought that you might be dead in a ditch somewhere. I gazed over at my calendar and sighed today marked the fourth year since your disappearance and my 17th birthday. Even if the others have somewhat forgiven me I'll never forgive myself until I know for certain that you sadly no longer walk this earth.
"Hey Dami, good morning! Happy 17 you old man!", Grayson cheered slinging his arms over my shoulders.
My lips curled into a small smile as Jason grunted hello to me and Drake glared at me per usual. If anyone hated me for your disappearance it was Drake, mostly because you were both so close. Everyone sat at the table chewing on their breakfast as everyone shared some small talk.
"So Damian? Any lucky lady catch your heart yet?", Tim asked knowing full well that the answer was no.
"Drake you know I haven't reacted to an Omega's pheromones since...since sh-"
"Since you killed (y/n).", Drake growled.
Just then Kate came rushing into the kitchen and grabbed me by the back of my collar. She pulled me along until we reached the Batcave and as I growled and yelled at her to let me go I noticed a huge smile on her face. She logged into the Batcave computer and pointed at something that made my mouth hang open slightly. (Y/n)'s tracker had finally turned on, she was in range of the scanners, she was back in Gotham.
"W-where....h-how did you find her?", I asked as my face started to contort into a look of joy.
"I was being an army girl and remembered something about trackers that they had taught us at the academy. So I tried it out and it showed her tracker online, she thought she could hide under our noses by altering the frequency but I found her!", Kate cheered.
I was so overcome by joy that I couldn't help but hug the ginger haired woman, I grabbed my helmet and jumped onto my motorcycle before speeding off to your latest location, Downtown Gotham. My heart started to beat like crazy as I thought about seeing you again, I had to find you and bring you home because your were my mate. Doctor's proved that years ago when you left but now I could make things right and bring you back. My motorcycle screeched to a stop I the last area your signal appeared, I looked around frantically hoping to find anyone that looked like the troublesome (h/c) that I knew.
"Hey pretty little Omega~"
"You're in heat, you must be in pain, let us help you~"
I could hear voices coming from an alleyway near me and a scent that I was far to familiar with. I hid just around the corner of the alley and watched just to see what would happen, the Omega was trembling but still standing so I'm assuming they were going to fight back. One man reached out to them and surprisingly the Omega was strong enough to sweep the man off his feet and send him tumbling to the ground.
