**Lyrics by Linkin Park, and you all know these guys aren't mine, except for Caitlin, Jason, Emily and Andrew.**
**
Crawling in my skin
these wounds will not heal
Fear is how I fall
confusing what is real
There's something inside of me that pulls beneath the surface
consuming, confusion
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
controlling

Caitlin lay on a pool chair under the balcony that overlooked the pool, headphones on her ears, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens in her hands.
Rain poured down, but the temperature had warmed up considerably.
Caitlin looked up from her book to find Jason staring at her.
It had been three days since Big Jason had reset the clock.
"Hi" Caitlin said in a small voice, she hadn't really been talking.
Jason nodded, and crouched down beside her.
Caitlin pulled the headphones off of her ears and looked at him. A large army-style duffel bag was strapped across his back.
His base guitar, and skateboard sticking out of the top.
"Where are you going?" Cailtin asked.
Jason sighed, "I'm going to Antartica." He said completely serious.
Caitlin cocked her eyebrow, waiting for him to say 'Just Kidding!'
But he didn't.
"Why?" she asked.
"I need to learn how to control myself, and my powers, stop hurting people."
Caitlin looked down at his bandaged hands, "I guess, but when will you be back?"
"At the least? Six months."
"Six months?!"
"Hey, no sweat, look I need you to keep some things safe for me." He said pulling his guitar and skateboard out of the top of his bag.
Caitlin took them into her hands, "So this means your definently coming back right?"
"Of course!" Jason said, kissing her on the corner of her mouth, then kissing the small scar on her arm that the I.V. pulling had caused. He couldn't kiss the one on her head, it set off his visions, and neither of them wanted to re-visit that night.
Caitlin watched as he got up and walked to the back gate of Selina's brand new house.
He turned and waved, and jumped over the low gate, disappearing behind a tall bush.

Selina lay back on her large set of pillows, staring at the ceiling.
Bruce lay next to her, eyes closed, but not sleeping.
She turned and watched his heavy chest rise and fall with each breath.
His hair was now completely grey, but his face still didn't look any older, except for a few frow lines.
He'd explained to her how Jason had transformed him back into Batman.
She scooted over, and lay her head on his chest, listening as his heart beat out the beautiful tune of life.
He responded by wrapping his arm around her.
It must be fate, the two of us. she thought.
People had been saying they were perfect for each other for years, but they'd been too stubborn, and selfish to put the advice to use.
They knew better now.
This time they'd try harder, there was nothing else they could do but try harder.
Closing her eyes, she slowly fell into the calm abyss of sleep.
**
Discomfort Endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, Reacting
Against my will, I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem
to find myself again
