They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Never has there been a more accurate saying.

It was them- all of them. Kaldur, sitting next to Connor on the couch, who was next to Megan. Wally, laying across them. Artemis was sitting on the back of the couch, one leg between Kaldur and Connor, the other resting on Wally's legs. Robin sat on the floor in front of all of them, one elbow on Megan's knee, the other on Kaldur's.

Each of their faces perfectly displayed their character. Kaldur wore a calm, but amused smile, while Connor was caught beginning to glare at Wally, turning his half-smile into a sort of grimace. Megan was smiling brightly, a contrast to Artemis's smirk, having just kicked Wally, whose sly smirk was now half painful outburst. Robin merely smiled his signature smirk, so obviously happy to be with his family that it almost overrode his Batlike disposition. Almost.

The next pictures weren't quite so collected.

Wally, falling off the couch, while everyone else laughed. In the next shot, Artemis was trying to riffle the hair of both Connor and Kaldur, and Megan watched in amusement as Robin and Wally wrestled on the floor in full view of the camera.

Zatanna had appeared from somewhere in the next shot, and was sitting on the couch arm next to Megan. Robin had a hold on one of her ankles, while Wally was trying to drag him off-frame. It seemed that as he did so, however, he moved the couch, because the next picture showed only Artemis's legs, the rest of her obscured by the couch as she fell. Kaldur was leaning over the couch, trying to help her, though he was still smiling. Connor and Megan were considerably closer now, Connor having had to duck to avoid a kick to the face. Wally looked completely panicked, half-risen, while Zatanna, laughing, clutched the couch arm as Robin held her legs, his grin alight with mischief.

In another picture, Artemis was chasing Wally around the couch- they were behind it, now, and she had two fingers hooked on his collar. He was half in the process of being jerked back, one leg above the couch, the other visible on the side. Kaldur was holding up his hands in a shrug as if to say 'What can I do?', and next to him, Connor and Megan were kissing. Robin and Zee were on the ground laughing at Wally, and at themselves, each with mussed hair and clothes from their scuffle.

Black Canary just kept taking pictures. Her favorite was the last one- Artemis, Wally, Robin, and Zatanna were all on the floor, leaning against the couch, arms linked over shoulders and around waists, all smiling wide. Megan, who was sitting on her feet, was also smiling, as she held hands with Connor, who even appeared to have a small grin on his face. Kaldur was now sitting on the couch arm next to his original spot, his legs stretched out over where he had once been sitting, smiling, too, at his friends. All of them were red-faced, and a little bit breathless, and it was, in all honesty, a perfect picture. A mix of chaos and happiness that gave it the air of being alive, a real moment going on forever on a piece of paper.

That was the million-word picture. They each got a copy, and another copy was enlarged, framed, and hung on the wall in the Cave. Underneath it, a small plaque read simply, 'Serenity', based on a comment one of them had made about them being 'the picture of serenity'. Every time one of them saw it, they would smile, no matter how they felt beforehand. That picture stayed there long after everyone moved on, and there was one in the Watchtower, and the Hall of Justice, too. That picture awed the next generation of vigilantes- the next several generations. Because that was the picture that pointed out that Team means family, that everyone is equal, no matter what they can do, that friends are worth it. One picture, a million meanings, every one of them caught on paper.
