Life was precious. It was wonderful and it was gold. Sure, it had its dark moments and the times where it seemed to hate you. Sure, Life had its days. However, you couldn’t deny that it had been good to you. You couldn’t deny that life gave back twice more than what it took. When it took your mother from you, it gave you a father who tried his hardest to give you the best life he could. When school got hard, you got rewarded with the best grades. 

When you had been taken by Black Mask, you had survived when you shouldn’t have. Now, when you had been dead, Life had picked you up within her arms and breathed her breath within your lungs. 

Life was a journey. It was a sea of adventures and hardships, of storms and calms that you had to get through...to learn from. And for once, you weren’t angry. You weren’t mad at the world for what it had done to you. You weren’t angry at God for what he had done to your mother. You weren’t angry at Death for taking your mother. 

No, you understood. You understood why. It wasn’t so to be cruel to you just because Life could be; it was to help you grow when you couldn’t do it yourself. To help you along like a mother cat and her young. 

In the end, you guessed you should have seen it. The universe was never out to get you; nor was Life itself. It was just trying to help someone who was too broken to help herself. Some people would say that the whole thing was just luck, but you would never sum it up to be luck. 

Luck would never have allowed you to see your mother one last time. Luck would have never allowed you to live through something twice when you shouldn’t have. Luck would have never led you to where it did. Luck would have never let your father finally heal from his own wounds. Luck would have never let your grandfather finally get the guts to say what he had so desperately wanted to for years. 

Luck would have never healed wounds whether old or new.

As your father laughed with the others, you smiled and rest your head against his shoulder, happy and content. This is what you had always wanted: true happiness. 

No, luck would have never given you this. 

Looking out the window, the setting sun created a painted canvas of pinks, oranges, purples, yellows, and golds as the water below glistened with an intense glow. Seagulls flew cross the waters edges, catching fish that swam close to the surface and soaring through the air afterwards. It was peaceful; beautiful, and you sighed in tranquility. 

You wondered if your mother could see the same thing that you could. 

“(Y/n)?”

You looked up at your father, his blue eyes concerned just slightly as he looked down at you. His arms were gentle around you, yet firm. Your father hadn’t let you go since he had gotten a hold of you, and you couldn’t blame him honestly. If you were in his position, you would probably be doing the same. 

“Yeah?”

“Are you alright? I’ve been calling you for a while now.”

You blinked before nodding, replying softly. 

“I’m just thinking.”

Your father smiled slightly before sighing, his eyes closing as he rest his cheek against the top of your head. He whispered softly. 

“I’m so happy to have you in my arms again. I missed you so god damn much.”

You smiled and replied back quietly.

“I did too...but I’m here now...and I’m not going anywhere.”

Jason’s arms tightened around you before loosening gently, and you bit your lip before whispering to him. 

“You know...I’m proud of you, Dad.”

Your father pulled back, his brow raising slightly as he asked curiously.

“Why do you say that?”

You gave your dad a small half-smile.

“You allowed yourself to let Grandpa in. I know it hasn’t been easy between you two, and I know that for a long time, you were angry with him...so, in a way, it wasn’t just me that was doing some healing. We were all doing some healing.”

-THIRD POV-

In the Elder Temple of Isaf, Nazeem’s blind eyes softened as his lips curled back into a small smile. As he watched the scene from the small bird bath-like table, a small tear dropping into the water, causing ripples to distort the image. Hasan smiled at Nazeem before saying.

“ Ar-Rā'iyu, you did well.”

The god of dreams and prophecy scoffed, shaking his head as he looked at Hasan, his eyes stern but loving as the ghost of a smile lit his lips.

“No, Nuhm, you did well.”

The guardian god chuckled, patting Ar-Rā'iyu on the back before glancing into the waters, watching as the Batfamily joked and laughed with each other, happy and content with each other and with life.

“I wouldn’t say this was my doing. In fact...I think this was all her, brother. Though, I do have to agree with her on one thing.”

Ar-Rā'iyu looked at Nuhm, asking.

“And what is that?”

“We were all doing healing here.”

The gods smiled before looking into the waters,  Ar-Rā'iyu whispering.

“I am glad we were able to save this girl...her soul is so bright. It would have been devastating to have lost her to the darkness.”

“You know that we would have gotten her back.”

The god shook his head, looking at Nuhm with solemn eyes.

“Not without a war, which I do believe is on the rise whether or not He has her soul. I can see it, Nuhm...bloodshed and heartbreak...there is thunder on the horizon.”

Nuhm’s shoulders tensed before he shook his head, suggesting as he turned the two of them back to the pool of water.

“Let us not worry about that now,  Ar-Rā'iyu . For now...let us be happy as they are.”

Ar-Rā'iyu glanced at Nuhm before he relaxed, smiling and nodding.

“Yes...happy.”

-READER POV-

Your father’s eyebrows furrowed and he closed his eyes, muttering as he shook his head.

“God dammit, would everyone stop making me cry!”

You smiled widely, and Jason sniffled, whispering to you after a moment of collecting himself. 

“We were all doing some healing, but you were the one teaching us how to.”

You rolled your eyes, but you were flattered and honored, nonetheless. Laying your head against his shoulder once more, you sighed before closing your eyes. 

“I love you, (Y/n). Thank you for showing me how to heal.”

“Thank you for being my strength too, Dad.” 

Yes, life was beautiful. It was precious and imperfect. However, there was always a paradise at the end of every path. There was always a home for you to find, whether it was far from your grasp or right there in front of you. Nevertheless, no matter what happened, no matter the hardships you went through, no matter how far east you strayed, you would always find your way back to Eden.

“The Hebrew word, the word timshel - 'Thou mayest' - that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open...Why, that makes a man great...He can choose his course and fight it through and win...I have a new love for that glittering instrument, the human soul. It is a lovely and unique thing in the universe. It is always attacked and never destroyed - because 'Thou mayest'.”

John Steinbeck, East of Eden
