Hi there everyone! I’ve been playing the last of us again and my mind just ran off with some thoughts. Thoughts that turned into drabbles. This is one of them. I wrote it down, not sure where I want to go with it. IF I want to go somewhere with it. I hope you all like It. Please feel free to comment or anything else. I haven’t done anything before on Tumblr.

Thank you so much for reading and all. Hope you have a nice day, evening, night. Stay safe and stay healthy.

There was a moment. One moment. These few seconds in time where a choice that I made could influence the future ahead of us. A moment that felt so unimportant if I didn’t feel the things that i felt at that moment.

That feeling of dread and danger. My stomach just dropping down like a brick on the ground. I almost felt like I was choking. But I needed to calm myself. The fear was almost paralyzing me. If I would let it control me, it would mean death for him. I had to get myself together and push trough.

I felt my feet move while I wax carrying myself forward. Towards this person that I was trying to reach. This person that I felt that I needed to save. Everyone else could die. But not him.

Not him.

My arm was already reaching out before I even came close to him. My mind set on that one goal. I saw someone else turning around to look at me. A strange look in his eyes while he follower my movements. I didn’t care. I was looking at the man in front of me. His back was to me and I could not see his face.

His brown jacket was open and hanging loosely around his form. He had a scarf around his neck to protect him from the freezing cold. The same freezing coldness that I felt in my gut.

My footsteps came closer to him and made little patterns in the snow. I crushed it under my feet as I walked. The sound of it made the man in front of me turn around. His posture relaxed. Safe. He had no idea what was coming for him.

As he turned around, I found his eyes looking at mine directly. His head turned to the side a bit. He almost looked confused. His eyebrows shooting down a bit and his lips tightening in a firm line.

He could not even make a sound before my hand had finally reached him. I grabbed onto his arm and I grabbed it tight. Like my grip could stop him from the fate that I knew was coming his way.

His eyes moved down for a split second, looking at my hand grabbing his arm. Then he looked up again, ready to say something to me. There was no time. I was afraid that he would pull away before I could even show him how important my words were.

His lips moved and he opened his mouth to say something, when I stopped him.

‘ please don’t’ I pleaded him. My eyes growing wider to show my desperation. Tears already forming in my eyes as my fear came back at me with full force.

Batman vs. Robin. Don't let the terrible title fool you. It's among the best of DC's direct-to-video Animated films. It isn’t really about Bruce Wayne / Batman (Jason O'Mara) going toe-to-toe with his son Damian/Robin (Stuart Allan). A much better title would've been “Batman and the Court of Owls” but let's dig into the review proper.

A sequel to the 2014 Son of Batman, the story begins with the dynamic duo at odds. Damian was raised to be an assassin, Batman is trying to convince him to use nonlethal force. Their relationship is further strained when it becomes clear that Batman does not trust his son. When Talon (Jeremy Sisto), the chief assassin of the mysterious Court of Owls, extends a hand to Damian and immediately relates to the boy, the temptation may be too much.

This sequel is even better than the first. The relationship between the father and son provides drama to compliment the action provided by the terrific villain. Much of this interesting dynamic comes from Damian Wayne, a terrific addition to the Bat Family. Firstly, we have the strained relationship between Batman and Robin. Bruce Wayne grew up without a father, and wants to be there for his son. We want to see them working as a team - they’d be unstoppable together. Unfortunately, things are understandably complicated between them. Batman doesn’t trust his son not to kill. Damian resents his father for not believing in him. They’re both being jerks by not setting aside their feelings and reaching out to the other but you can see why they act the way they do.

The relationships make the characters feel fuller than you'd expect. Alfred (David McCallum) and Damian relate to each other differently than Batman and his butler do. As Bruce's first "son", Nightwing (Sean Maher) also relates to them differently than anyone else. The story's inevitable conclusion is a given - most genres have a formula we come back to because that's what we want to see - but these relationships keep you guessing. The players do not feel as though they're at the story's mercy. They move within it at their own pace.

It’s all nice that we have these heroes with emotions. We'll care for them when put in jeopardy and rejoice when they triumph. But what about the antagonist? Talon is compelling but the one who struck me immediately is an incredibly creepy serial killer the crimefighters encounter at the beginning of the film. In any other film, the character voiced by "Weird Al" Yankovich (that's right) would be the main villain. He’s got a great look, a cool backstory and is pure nightmare fuel but he's just a sidebar. Talon's the star, a baddie that is destined to endure and become a new favorite among comic book fans.

When stories who haven't yet proved their worth by remaining popular years after they've ended are chosen by Warner Bros. Animation as the subject of their next project, I become apprehensive. Are these stories REALLY worth highlighting, or are they just pushing the new hotness? In this case, they've recognized a story full of rich characters and intrigue. You'll need to watch the other films in the series to fully grasp how great it is but they don't run long and if this is the one you're building up to, it's well worth the effort.
