" So Baek, have you decided what you are going to say once you see Rev?" Joker asks.
" No, I haven't now shut up and sleep." I say to him.
" I can't sleep though. Plus why are we sleeping in trees, aren't you rich?" Joker asks.
" Yes but when I died all my money went to my brother and his punk ass sent it all to charity. I say in sadness.
" Are you serious? Since when was your brother a saint?" Joker asks.
" My brother was never a ruthless killer like me. He always wanted to be better. I've heard after he was released from being the beast that he's helped a lot of people. " I say to Joker.
" Well look at your goody two shoes brother." Joker says.
" Shouldn't you be worried about what you're gonna say to him. How do you think he's going to react to seeing you again?" I say to him.
" Wait you won't let him kill me right? " Joker asks.
" Who knows. He might be stronger than me. He definitely has more mana than me." I say.
" Shit I can't die. I can't go back to hell Baek you can't let me go back." Joker pleads.
"Joker, you know we are anomalies right? The dead aren't supposed to come back. I know that mana techniques can do anything but don't try bringing someone dead back to life. Me and you are exceptions since technically you didn't really die. " I warn him.
"Yeah man of course. Are you good?" Joker asks.
" Yeah I'm fine, I'm just getting used to hearing them." I say.
"Hearing who Baek?"
***Legion
" Has Baek made it back to earth?" I ask.
"Yes he has. " Lucifer says.
" Do you think he's started hearing them? The spirits." I say.
"Yeah he's definitely hearing them. With all the negative mana he absorbed he is way more sensitive than normal. Very soon he's going to start seeing them as well. " Lucifer says
"Isn't that dangerous?" I ask him.
"Yes it is. We just have to trust him to get through it." Lucifer says.
***Baek
"Yo Baek, wake up there's some old dude and a cute girl here." I hear Joker say. I look up to see what he's talking about. He's right. I recognize the two people as well. It's Hephaestus and Kendra. Have they been the ones taking care of my grave?
I don't remember being that close with them. They probably got close with Rev. Which means they'll definitely tell him about the grave. I'll just send a forgotten to follow them and sleep through the next few days. Even though I no longer need sleep to survive.
"Have you ever been to space?" Joker asks.
"Joker, are you 5? Like why do you ask so many questions." I say to him.
"Have you ever really thought about it though? We have all these powers and abilities but we haven't explored space." Joker says.
"Lucifer once told me that space is a death trap and gods with unimaginable power reside there." I say to him.
"Aww so does that mean we can't go to space?" Joker says sadly. I look at him and sigh. "Come on, get up Joker. We don't go past the stratosphere." Joker gets up all excited and starts flying upwards. I start chasing him to make sure he doesn't go too far.
Once we get up there, the earth is really beautiful. You can see everything from here. I don't like how dark it is though. This darkness isn't the one I'm connected to.
"It's beautiful man, look how big the earth is." Joker says
" You're gonna end up running out of oxygen if you keep talking." I say to him.
"Don't be so serious all the time Baek. Have some fun with your new life. " Joker says. He's right, I should calm down. I just don't like it here. I feel like I'm being watched but the voices are quiet here. It definitely feels as if there are eyes watching me though. It might be dangerous if they realize that I've realized they see me.
"Okay Joker lets go. Any longer up here and you'll pass out." I say to him, I don't get a response back though and I turn around and Joker is gone. Where did he go?
I look down and he's falling. Damn I didn't think he would pass out that quickly. I fly downwards as fast as possible to catch him. I have to bring him into the shadows so I can kill our momentum.
Once we are out the shadows though we appear in front of some cabin. I've never seen it before. However, what I do recognize is the man sitting inside the cabin. It's been a while since I've used my echolocation.
However I can easily tell it's my brother sitting in there. I open the door and I see him. Behind him is Kendra, they seem close? A lot closer than when I last saw them. Next to them is Hephaestus. He seems very surprised to see me. I definitely see the look of suspicion on his face.
He probably recognizes me as the white reaper. The only person I don't recognize is the bald old dude. He is probably Rev's friend. I can't just stand here quietly though.
"Hey Rev, I told you I would be back. I hope you didn't wait too long." I say to him.
" NoTe is that really you?" Rev says.
"Of course man, I told you I wouldn't leave you." I say to him, Joker starts getting up and says. " Damn my head hurts oh hey Rev good to see you." You can't be serious. He chose a really bad time to wake up and open his mouth. I hear a sonic boom. What was that? I look back down and notice I don't see Joker nor do I see Rev. Shit this isn't good.
***Rev
"I thought it would take a while for me to get my chance to kill you. I'm very happy you decided to show yourself, but you should've stayed hidden." I say to Joker while dragging him through the earth.
" Do we really need to do this dance?" Joker says.
