《The Gotham Ghost King》Nico's Hurt (Again)
Advertisement
"NICO! YOU FREAKING IDIOT!!! HOW HARD IS IT FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY FOR ONCE?!?!?"
Rex continued to yell as he landed inside of an abandoned warehouse on the edge of Gotham.
"IF YOU WERN'T SO INJURED RIGHT NOW I'D SLAP YOU UPSIDE THE HEAD. Either way, it seems you broke your arm, and you are REALLY LUCKY THAT YOU DIDN'T CRACK YOUR FLIPPING SPINE IN HALF!!!"
Nico mumbles incoherently. "It'll be fine... You can always... Fix me right up-"
Nico's eyes fluttered shut as he fell asleep from exhaustion and pain.
Will swiftly set the bones in Nico's arm and wrapped them, setting them up for correct healing.
"You idiot. You're already maxed on ambrosia for the next week, and if I want to get back to the Wayne house, I can't waste any more energy," Will glanced up, looking at the sun, "It's 1 pm right now, I gave you a dose of painkillers at 5am or so, the dosage is every 6 hours (not factual), so it should be out of his system by not"
Will began to pull items out of his medical bag, continuing to mutter to himself.
"He hasn't eaten since lunch yesterday, and the painkillers are mostly out of his system... Need to keep in mind a natural sleep schedule on mind for when I get back... Definitely can't excuse 24 hours... Maybe 12 hours could work? No. That's too long... 10 hours? Actually 7. 7 should be good. An hour to walk back, and six inside the house."
Will pulled out his supplies; a syringe, aseptic wipes, a set of vials, a pen and a small black spiral notebook labeled 'Nico's Medical History' in Ancient Greek.
"Nico's weight hasn't changed since yesterday... But considering the number of painkillers he's on... This should do."

After double and triple checking his work, Will carefully placed the exact amount of drugs into a syringe, before sterilizing a spot on his arm and injecting the contents of the syringe.
Nico's eyes fluttered open. "Everything's fine Neeks. Just a little more painkiller. Just sleep."
Nico's eyes fluttered back shut as he passed into unconsciousness, and within minutes, Will had everything packed back into his bag.
"Hm. I can't put Neeks into my storage. His eyes can't take it, but I also can't carry him around like this, or it'll seem like I'm moving a dead body. Maybe- No. I ran out of those teleportation spells that Lou gave me. Oh!"
Rifling through his bag again, Will pulled out a pale pink, marble-like object. Breaking it over Nico, the unconscious boy began to shrink until he was the same height as a marble.
Placing his boyfriend into a test tube, Will slipped him into the side of his bag and began the hour-long walk towards the manor, not realizing as a figure in black began to follow him.

A few days ago
*Wayne Manor*
"I can't believe that Joker held a breakout again. AT 1 IN THE MORNING!!!" Dick said, as he walked out of his room and headed towards the kitchen.
"You idiot. There are civilians in the house too." Jason said, slamming his bedroom door closed behind himself.
"Oh yeah. I kinda forgot. What's that paper on the fridge?"
Dick walked towards the coffee machine, while Jason pulled the note off of the fridge.
"Will and I decided to take a trip. We'll be back in a few days. Signed Nico." Jason read.
"They're out again? I wonder why. I don't think they've even spent 72 hours here yet."

"Eh. It's not that weird."
"Says the person who's been kicked out the house 93 times and counting."
"You little-"
"HEY!!! We can run daylight patrols today!!!" Dick exclaimed, ready to start sprinting for his life.
"...You are so lucky right now. I'll get you later."
"Only if you can catch me!!!" Dick said, taking off into the rest of the house, while still keeping the coffee from spilling.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
