A/n: Sorry it's been so long since I posted anything...I've been really busy with Highschool -sigh-. But here is a short oneshot I thought of today that I will probably add something onto later...or this may be a prequel to something.
The Breaking Point
It was his breaking point when he heard those words, words that he should have seen coming when he started this whole thing...but they were still enough to break him. And no one saw it coming then either. No one thought he would break...
"She's dead."
It was part of the plan since he began it in the first place...for Kaldur to "kill" Artemis in a fight. Yet, the words he should have thought about in the first place coming from Artemis's boyfriend hadn't been there. Nor how he would have took it...
They had just been talking on the roof as they watched Kaldur and Artemis leave...but then as soon as they were gone and just a few words were spoken, and Wally snapped.
"You don't understand how much I need her! You can't make this any better with just a few words Dick! I don't care how much you say that I can deal with this! I don't need you around I just need her!"
Dick took a step back, staring at the other for a good moment before his eyes shifted to the water in which the other two vanished. He couldn't bring himself to look at Wally, not now... And he wasn't sure if he ever could be able to look at him the same again.
"Wall-"
"Why did you have to manipulate her? Why did you have to make her be the one who did this! You could have made it Zatanna and then you would know how I feel! It's like you are selling out your own family!"
Something broke inside him then and a tear slipped down his face. "...why would I do that?" His voice cracked, and he hated himself for it. "Why would I do that...why...would I give away my family?"
"Because you don't give a damn about them that's why! You don't care at all about them!"
He broke.
He cried then.
All emotions flooding out.
"Maybe because I don't have my family because there dead Wally! You think I wanted to do this huh? No! I've lost everyone close to me Wally! I know how it feels! I watched my parents fall to there deaths! I've watched some of the closest people to me die! My life has always been full of pain! I was beaten, hurt, and tormented at school! No one ever helped me! I've never had a real friend besides you!" He screamed at him. "So fine damn it! See if I care anymore! I wonder if I should have just died with my parents that day!"
The redhead stared, mouth agape, but no sounds left his lips as he and his friend stood there, he couldn't.
Dick got the message.
He turned around and jumped, landing softly on the ground, and running.
He just had to run away, as fast and as far as he could.
And never look back.

Nightwing had reached the point where he just broke in two.

And no one knew how that was possible...

And then...

...he was gone...just like that.
