She had been vibrating with anticipation to see him again for a full ten minutes, having noticed his presence enter the radius of her powers.

, and when I said you

weren 't

we got really worried and I needed to know where you were and I wanted you here - and I just - I just missed you too much! I 'm sorry! '

Damian 's breath hitched, before he returned her hug in full force, and he buried his face in her hair, too overwhelmed to speak, unable to ignore just how much he felt like he was

home
