A short songfic. It's based off of "Wonderful Life" by Hurts. One of my favourite songs from them which seemed to lend well to the idea for this Young Justice fanfiction!

I do not own Young Justice or the song Wonderful Life. I'm just a fan of both.

Scene 1

Dick couldn't take it anymore; his death was too much for him. He dreamt about him every night, his friend was gone. He recalled their last proper conversation was when he had come in worried about Artemis. The guilt was stripping away at him. He couldn't eat, he couldn't sleep and he could find no peace. Even after taking a leave of absence from the team.

He had walked along the streets of Gotham every night in the hopes for some resolution, some peace for his heart and his mind. But even walking the streets he saw Wally everywhere.

He stood on the bridge that led out of Gotham. He had a view of the city that rivalled no other. He climbed over the railing and leaned over, looking below him.

Artemis had felt compelled, she had been cooped up back at home with her mother and she couldn't take it. Her mother had suggested she go for a walk, and she did. She randomly selected an area and used the Zeta beam just to get away. She had found herself in Gotham. She was not in a modd to go seeking any of Batman's protégés so she simply walked.

She had traversed through Gotham and was now going over Gotham Bridge. She didn't expect to see him there. She recognised him immediately.

"Dick?"

Dick looked back, seeing Artemis just made the pain more visible in his eyes.

"Look, I don't want company. Just go Artemis."

Artemis looked at Dick, she wondered if he still honestly believed that nobody realised he was Nightwing.

"I said go!" Dick looked back at her, the words coming out his mouth were those of hurt and not of anger. They looked at each other in silence, he could somehow see she knew who he really was. She could feel the pain in his heart as he looked at her.

Artemis saw the grip on the railing loosening, above them the sky rumbled. Rain began to stream down and soaked Artemis and Dick right through. Artemis wrapped her arm around Dick and buried her head in his back, she gripped his hand.

"Don't let go. I felt this very same way, but you shouldn't. You shouldn't give up, there is still something wonderful about life. We're alive still. We both are."

Dick listened to Artemis' words, he tasted the sudden saltiness of the rain.

"Please Dick, come with me."

Her pleas get through to him and she slowly pulls him over the railing again. He drops to his knees and she simply embraces him. There in the rain, Artemis felt compelled to embrace Dick as if he could not survive otherwise.

She did not know how right she was.

I hope you enjoy it! Please review!
