"What do you mean, CEASE?!"

"Just tell Artemis… and my parents-"

"Wally, don't talk like that!"

"Just please."

" I'm not resigning, just think of it as a break from all of this. We founded this team, Kalduar. Without Wally it is just… not the same."


The heavy sound of dragged feet and jingling keys in his pockets were the only things that Dick could hear as he walked into his lonely apartment that night.

Bold the word: Lonely

Not that Dick didn't feel lonely all the time. Sure, his family, or rather his 'new' family (Batgirl, Robin (Tim and Jason) and Batman) was always there for him.

So why do I feel so empty?

He thought as he inserted the keys into the seemingly impossibly small keyhole to his cold home. As he opened the door, ignoring the loud creak of the hinges, a blast of warm air circled around his body, replenishing the broken man to an extent because of course, his heart was completely shattered. His clothes for the next day were still pressed against the puffed out sheets on his bed and The mini kitchen was still a mess, not that he ever intended to fix.

If it's not broke, then you make sure to check to see if you need to fix it.

It was always….Unintended to think that you would die during a mission. It always hung in the air, but somehow and in some ways Dick was just like Bruce. He told himself that they would get out alive and it might be bad now, but things would eventually become better. It didn't work.

Why didn't it work?

Maybe, because this time he really thought that all was lost. That they would all die and " We will get out alive." Prayer wasn't going to work this time. Dick sighed out a really shaky breathe, and collapsed on the bed.

I would pray a thousand times more, if it only gave me Wally back.

Dick loved Wally. No amount of love between Artemis and Wally could shatter that. No matter how much it hurt to see that Red head with her and knowing those emerald eyes, Dick kept faith in Wally to snap out of it and come to what was right to him. Where Artemis couldn't see his light freckles on Wally's cheeks anymore, Dick could see them perfectly.

His smile, his laugh, his hands. Wally was amazing. Why couldn't see me?

Before Artemis came around, Wally was practically wrapped around his little finger. They did everything together and it was ( in Dick's eyes) love at first sight. Nothing was wrong with her….it was just the fact of losing him that made everything harder for him.

"She could have died, Dick!"

What about me? I almost drowned….

"I'm worried about her, Dick!"

She has been in the field for a couple of weeks. I've been here for years.

"What if Aqualad is an agent for them?! Think about it- a triple agent."

Now you have to be screwing with me.

All of that was what Dick wanted to scream at Wally's face. But those big Emerald eyes filled with worry for the one that he loved completely left Dick speechless and vulnerable to whatever Wally said.

Dick turned unto his side, uncomfortable with the way his body felt against the clothing. Things change. When they died in the failsafe and they both knew it was the end, they coded their goodbyes and went down fighting. When Wally….. When Wally died, he left his regards and all of his love to his girlfriend and his family. Not anyone else and it killed Dick to know that even when it was going to be the last moments that Wally was going to spend on the earth and his best friend wasn't on his mind at all. If Wally had any more time to say goodbye then he would have spent it saying "I love love love love love love you, Artemis and no one else. Dick smirked against his pillow. "Cocky, lovable Ginger." He muffled in his pillow which was followed by a cry caught in his throat. It was the first cry he let out in a long time and all in his sad and lonely apartment.

Bold the word- Lonely.


The death of Wally actually upset me so much that I came out of that small little hole, its called school and made me write this, but this will turn into a long and amazing story that will be so cool! So don't worry to all of the people that are upset with me, superheros never really die, so Wally WILL be back :D.
