Chapter Text
It has been a long time, since there was a father that care for him
Someone who isn't a bat running around beating bad guys, save his country from crumble that many terrible villains cause
Someone who isn't gone for a long time only to return a bit giving him hope and break it again
There's a father that willing to save him from being abused the first four years of his life. There's a father that would give everything up just to see if he is safe from all the harm. The father that willing to sacrifice himself just so he could have a good childhood.
It has been a long time since then.
By the time he remembers those greatest moments of his past life, he's dying in the desert with two of his teammates gone while other also in critical condition
(He isn't his father, who could protect everyone, he can't make a plan that would save them all)
He miss On, a sister that he love so dearly like Cassandra in this life, one of the people that has save him and be with him when he first got out to see the sky the first time. She's the one that tender him and Hong with his father. She bring comfort to him through the night. When he have a bad night, she would bring the three of him, Hong and herself to his father as they lay beside father and then got into the embrace of his father's arm no matter how weak he is.
Even when they're older, they still like to stay with their father and keep him in the corner of their eyes afraid he would disappear because he has sacrifice himself too much.
He miss Hong, the mischief middle child that he has come to love and always partner in crime. They always cause chaos that his sister always shake her head in amusement and tired of their shit at the same time. He can always learn poison with each other as a bonding time.
He miss strong Choi Han who would prioritize his families above everything else, he's also one of the people that have rescue him from his abuser and gave him the best life as he could. Choi Han has stay with him until the end of their time as they held each other close when Death came for their life. Choi Han would always be the person he could count on his back because he knows Choi Han would never betray him.
He miss Lemon gramp Ron who is like a grandfather to him. He remember how much Ron have care his father and then him through his bitter lemon tea that he always served for him and Cale. He didn't mind it as much as his father and he did enjoy it (much to the horror of those who have taste at least once that famous lemon tea). Ron teach him many things about life with Eruhaben — Goldie gramp. He teach about trust and believe in instinct, which is the reason why his mind subconscious follow those words even if he didn't remember it so long ago.
He miss smart Rosalyn who is the tower master that would attack those who hurt her families. She is his partner when it comes to learning magic together and he miss that sometimes they would mess up things and they blow up sometimes, which is honestly a mistake anyone could make so he and Rosalyn just laugh at it and take it as a lesson so they could do better next time.
He miss Eruhaben, his Goldie gramp that was an ancient dragon, who have teach everything he could to him. Have been with him when he was at his weakest of the time. The other grandfather that he have attached till the end of his time. He would be glad to just hug him again once last time.
He miss nice Mary who have been so brave that she survive in dead mana desert and still keep her hope up. She have scars but that just prove that she have survive and stand tall in the face of life. Mary is the one he can sympathize with and he love to just stay in a place with Mary, making flowers crown for each other. It was a sweet memory that he would like to keep with him till the end.
He miss Alver Crossman, who is the one he have nickname him as Cookie prince, his cookies is good even if they're not as good as Alfred or even the White Star. He have taught him sometimes about political which have made him subconsciously in this life good as a CEO. He miss how much his uncle have sigh at the chaos that most of his family cause in the first place.
And most of all, he miss his weak human, his father and the one that have given everything, Cale Henituse. He is the one that save him when need it the most, rescue him before he started to work on that suicide plan to find freedom. Cale never expect anything of him, only expect him to have a good childhood and healthy. He was there when he have pass his 1st growth phase, the one gave him the attribute of time "present". He was the one that gave him Raon Mir name, which now that he knows it is "Joyful Dragon" in Korea, it is kinda ironic that his last name is Drake and it still means Dragon. He have sacrifice himself for him. Cale means everything to him till the end, even when he pass away, even when Choi Han and him pass away. No one could ever replace that place that Cale left him.
...........
He miss his old family, the one that love him for existing, the one who would be there for him. He miss them so bad that he really want to just at least be in their embrace in his last moment.
He pray to the Gods up there, even if he used to distaste them because how much did they cause their lives so fucked up, to let him see the family that willing to sacrifice everything for him one last time.
In the corner of his eyes, he saw a light flashes in front of him before the darkness embrace his sight once again.

Choi Han who have accented to the world of celestial being like Cale said long ago, have trying to search for the reincarnation of his family. It has been so long since the end of their time after all.
He has made a promise with Raon that who ever living their best life, let them and watch over them while those have a hard life, find them and bring them back to heal before let them decide if they want to stay in that world or not but either way, he would stay with them like the old time.
So far, most of their allies and family have move on to a better life. Only a few like Alver, On, Hong, Mary, Vicross, Ron, Rosalyn, Sui Khan is coming back with Cale and him. There's one person left that he haven't found yet, the one child that have been with him till the end of his mortal's life. The one person that understand him and the one person he have look at as if they're his own nephew.
Raon Miru is the only one that he haven't found in the whole multiverse. To search for a single souls in infinie souls that born everyday is like trying to find one little sand among the sea. He really worried about Raon, what if he has a difficult life? What if he haven't found the family he has been searching for? This is making him more determined to find Raon, to see if he's alright, he have to make sure Raon got a good life or so help him, he would destroy the whole multiverse if he have to.
It have gone for so long now and he's getting closer to despair. He gotta be somewhere, there's no way he would give up that child so soon after everything they have gone through.
But right now, he have many duties to do and when he is done, he can go back to the search.
" Choi Han! I found my little brother! We need to hurry! " it was then a red hair person with cat traits comes through the door. This time, he looks terrified rather than his face when he got good news, which mean this situation is not good.
" You found Raon, Hong? Hold on, did something happen to him?! " Choi Han feel good that Hong have found Raon, his little honorary nephew but the way Hong acts make his anxiety goes up.
" He's dying, Choi Han! Please- we gotta hurry up because at any moment now he could die " Hong panicking is justified after all, when you finally found your dongseang, you thought he would have been safe and yet the first thing he saw is his own family dying.
Raon can not die, he shouldn't have live a difficult life. He should be happy and not dying. Raon is family and family is supposed to be there for each other
" I will- no, we will come to him. Led the way, Hong"
He would save Raon over and over again, even if it was the death of him. Raon have always been his little companion and that would never change.
And just like how he have come save Raon with his first family, he will success in this. There won't be room for mistakes this time as Raon is about to die if he didn't do anything.

Is he Raon or is he Timothy? He doesn't know how to answer that
It has been so long since he has been Raon Miru rather than Tim, Raon hold the affection, surrounded by his family, the name hold happiness in his old world
But for Timothy Drake, it didn't bring much good memories, some good but more bad than good. It associate with "pretender", "the heir of Drake industries", " son of Janet Drake", "The third Robin",.....
More often than not, it didn't bring much comfort like how "Raon" did, he want to be able to use it again although the ironic is that the name actually mean "Joyful Dragon" but he knows that his father did try so he still love the name no matter what.
It has been so long, he want to be called Raon once again.
So when there's someone yell "Raon", he was surprised by the sound. The voice feel so familiar to him that it hurt him so bad. The memories flow back to his head as he has once wish to go back to the life he used to have, go back to the time where he surrounded by the people he love once more.
He want to cry so badly when he confirmed it was actually the voice of the same person that stay with him till the end of his time. The one person that have been in the beginning of his journey when he finally free from the cage of the bastard human "Venion", he can also hear the voice of the brother that also in the beginning of his journey, the one that always call him " dongseang", his brother in arm, in the end of his time have tell him that he's proud of him and that have wish him to have his life peaceful till the end like he have, pass away with a smile.
Tim know that maybe his time have comes and maybe they're here to take him away. He want to come with them, he miss the feeling of being with his family, he want to be in their arms.
But....
He knows this is a selfish desire and that he shouldn't ask for anything more.....
He still want to live, he still need to find Bruce. He can't just give up right then and there.
Please....
Just give him more time....
