For Ciel

Dreams these days are random for him, born out of the weirdness that goes on in his head and in his daily doings in the city and often combining to make something too far out of reality to confuse him into thinking that he might be awake and doing something out of the ordinary, as some dreams are wont to do. But sometimes, they’re quite the opposite. Sometimes, they’re terrible and fill him with the kind of horror that his customers - living or dead - might have experienced shortly before they found their way into his funeral parlor back home.

This one is much like that, for wholly different reasons. For instance, the face looking back at him as he stares into the mirror, adjusting a tie over a suit that he hasn’t worn nor seen in decades, is one he recognizes and does not. Clear of the scars he now carries, eyes visible and a startling blue, hair shorter and decidedly more blonde than gray, it’s a face he hasn’t seen in well over a century.

Somewhere behind the scene, watching it from his current body in resigned unhappiness, he goes tense as a familiar voice calls to him in the memory.

”Ah, there you are, Cedric! We’re waiting for you!”

The view turns as the man in the mirror looks away from his reflection. From an open doorway, another man stands, smiling, clearly excited. This man is younger, with dark eyes and hair of the same yellow cropped close to his head in an almost military cut. He wears a darker suit and looks quite sharp as he shakes his head. Then a look of shy nervousness briefly darkens his features.

”I was starting to think you’d changed your mind.”

The laugh that comes from the man in the memory is not Undertaker’s own, and it is all at the same time. He approaches the younger and puts a hand on his shoulder. The nails are flesh colored and short and the scar on his pinky finger absent like the rest.

”Oh, Thomas, you know I wouldn’t do that to you. I’ll be out in a moment. I just want to…”

Undertaker turns away, unable to watch anything more, and it’s then that he realizes he isn’t alone in this. Away and to the side stands Ciel.

It isn’t the first time that he finds himself glad for the hair hiding his eyes, but now it’s for a whole new reason.

"Yeah, we usually do. I've kind of gotten used to the odd happenings since I arrived, but Im from Gotham, something weird is always happening there to. Its second nature to shrug things off." At least after intense research.

"Yeah it does." He blinked some, his eyes going right back to the Undertake. "Like it's set on repeat. It's strange."

It was less headache worthy to watch the Undertaker than anything else. "Gotham is a city in New Jersey, it's probably not much yet in you and Ciel's time, it's in America. Trust me when I say your better off not knowing that cesspool I once called him. It is pretty much the crime capital of the world."

Jason managed a slight smile at that, it reminded him of someone. Everything did at some point but the Undertaker seemed like an old soul and that called to him. "Good, if you can, avoid it. Its not a good place." God only knows why he keeps going back.

As if his mind knew the Undertaker was one for a laugh, the sound of water falling could be heard. It was a steamy shower, luckily the shower hid any bit's that no one needs to see. Jason was washing his hair, humming to himself as a voice came from the other side of the shower.

"Yo, Jason! Got a second?"

The sector beside the Undertaker groaned. "Of course you get to see this."

In the dream Jason starts to speak before sniffing something in the air. "Really? This couldn't wait until I'm... Roy, this is crazy but do you smell napalm?"

The curtain is ripped back and a red head is holding a weapon blasting fire in on Jason, who doesn't burn but does panic before running as they yelled back and forth at each other.

Jason had moved his hand to cover his face looking a little exasperated. "No, no, this was just how he was. No one else is quite that, eccentric might be to nice for Roy." He grumbled some. "and sadly yes, we lived together for almost a year, this happened a lot." he sounded a bit more fond by the time he finished speaking. "You might like Roy if he ever shows up here. He's got a sense of humor."
