Thud

It kept repeating, over and over again.

You slowly opened your eyes, heart racing in anticipation after you recalled what had happened. Your instincts jumped into action as you tried pulling your arms to your sides, only to fail. You were pressed flat against a large metal wall, with your arms, ankles, and waist pinned down by slacks of the same shiny element. Around the room, there was nothing to be found, with the exception being the remaining walls, which were made of marble. A low hiss fell from your lips as you narrowed your eyes at the white door in front of you. It was so, so close, yet so damn far. A voice shook you out of your state, seemingly coming from the speakers on the ceiling,

"I see you've taken note of your current state. Those devices around your arms and legs work somewhat similarly to tranquilizers. They deactivate your powers and abilities, leaving you absolutely defenseless and weak."

You shook your head in disbelief. Was she being serious? Glancing down at your neck, you frowned. Your grey charm was nowhere to be found. Even without it, you couldn't help but get fired up, willing to give your everything,

"Defenseless for what?", you snarled, on guard more than ever. The door slammed open, revealing the white-haired female. She moved like a snake, hips swaying from side to side. Her hands were aimed directly at you, displaying her dark shadow manipulation powers, as swirls of black arose from her palms,

"Defenseless for this"

You arched your back, releasing a yell as a sudden pain attacked your chest, engulfing it in pure darkness. The veins in your arms and neck pulsated, tinting to a dark coal color. What you felt was almost unbearable. Evil crawled throughout your body, burrowing in the most vulnerable place, which happened to be your heart. However, the amount didn't seem to be enough to overcome your heroine soul, for, you did well resisting against it. Scrunching your eyes closed, you bit your lip as you fought the pain. The woman floated up into the air, smirking at your vulnerability. Swiftly, her hand came up, and you automatically knew what you were in for. A sharp sting pierced your right cheek, staining it bright red,

"You know, I really can't figure out what he sees in you. You're absolutely nothing, just like your mother", she spat out, lowering herself to the ground before crossing her arms. A strained breath fell from your lips as you struggled to breathe. You were determined to ignore her vulgar insults, simply opting on waiting for Jason. But, you were quickly growing impatient with her disrespect. It was only expected of her to know your weaknesses: which included your backstory.

Being the person you were, you would've tried to reason with her about everything regarding Jason's unrequited love, but you knew it would get you nowhere. The pain and evil that had consumed her heart were far much greater than anything you had ever encountered. Just as the magic began to disappear from your lower half, you released a soft cry from black bolt she aimed once more at your torso. It felt like your insides were being consumed, inside and out. You brought your head up, stray hairs falling over your eyes as you keep your orbs aimed at Essence,

"Jason will find me, and he will never ever love you.", you spoke, adding emphasis as her expressions contorted in pure hatred. She walked around you slowly, leaving swirls of black magic in her wake,

"Well, we'll figure that out soon, won't we? That's if he even finds you. You haven't realized this, but, you've been missing for four days already." She chuckled, pausing abruptly in front of you. Just by the way she was acting, you sensed she would change the topic, opting for something stronger to throw at you, "What I find entertaining is that you think he'll save you, Black Sphinx, Or may I say, (Y/n) Wayne, the woman who had failed to save Jason Todd himself, from the hands of the Joker", Your eyes widened, a sudden punch landing on the side of your face before you could even fully think about what she said. You flipped your head back, eyes glowing in pure rage. Essence looked at you with amusement, leaning in even closer to your face,
