Okay, this is the start of my new story! I noticed that there weren't many fics involving Dick and Artemis as assassins, so I'm doing this! I've had this idea for awhile. Please tell me what you think in a review!

And please tell me how long each chapter should be in terms of the time frame. One day, one week, one hour, one month. Please tell me out of these four what you want in a review!

Just letting you know, this isn't the end. IT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING! MWAHAHAHAHA!

Batman stared at his son's coffin as it was being lowered into the ground. He couldn't believe that this had happened. He had tried his best, but he hadn't been able to stop it. Bruce had searched everywhere, for two years, yet he couldn't find him.

Dick along with Artemis had been missing for two and a half years, then suddenly their bodies just appeared. Batman had found them in an alley. They looked different. Dick's left eye was missing. Artemis had one very noticeable large scar in the shape of an arrow on her right shoulder. Those looked as if they had been made a long time ago. However, their slit throats looked a lot more recent. The blood pooled from their bodies and onto the concrete. They were left out as if they were purposefully put there so that Batman would find them. And no matter how much digging Bruce did, he had no idea what had happened in the two years they had been gone.

It hurt Bruce that he had no idea if Dick was avoiding him or taken hostage or what had happened. Tears threatened to spill over his navy blue eyes as the dirt began to bury their bodies.

Clark put a comforting hand on his back, but it only reminded him that this was real, and that his adopted son was dead. That was when he broke. He let out a small sob, and tears flowed freely.

Jason stood close to him, along with the rest of the Team. The newest addition to his family tried to look sympathetic, but he had never known Dick, had never met him. Meanwhile, the ones who had known them the longest in the Team, Wally, M'gann, Conner, Roy, and Kaldur mourned for their lost teammates.

Wally placed red flowers over Dick's grave, and green over Artemis's. Dick was like a brother to Wally, he had been for three years before they even started the Team. And though Wally would never admit it, Artemis was really warming up to him.

He stepped back without a word, and he and his uncle sped away to Central City. Maybe some patrolling would help get the recent losses off their minds.

M'gann was a lot more emotional about it. She was bawling. Dick and Artemis were like a brother and sister to her. They had accepted her for who she was. Memories went through her head. She relived their emotions, when Dick had told the Team his secret I.D., Artemis opening up about her family. Then the sadness when they both went missing.

Conner and Kaldur walked up at the same time. They just stared sadly at the graves. A few tears slipped past their brave facade. They had loved Dick and Artemis's antics. The cackling, the bickering, and their sarcastic nature. Kaldur looked to Conner, and they both walked away.

The last of the original Team was Roy. He felt guilty that he had left for so long. He hadn't called Dick, hadn't seen him, had just left him with the rest. But Roy and Dick had an even bigger bond, especially being the first two partners. They had been on their own for awhile, until Wally came along. He let his tears show. Dick would've done that if Roy had been the one in his place.

Roy then turned toward Artemis's grave, and said four words that had great meaning."I don't hate you." He hoped that it was enough for forgiveness, in her memory.

As he walked away, another redhead took his place. After Barbara got over her jealousy issues with Artemis, they began to become really good friends. But Dick was her best friend, and that never would have changed if he hadn't gone missing. But now, they were officially dead. A few people thought that they were dead and they should just give up after a year, but Barbara never gave up hope. Now- it was official. She began to sob, much like M'gann had. Bette came over, rubbing her back to comfort her. Barbara clung to Bette like she was a doll.

Bette had cried a lot too. The four of them; they were all the best of friends. Now they were down to two, and the thought made her cry even more.

Bruce was last. He kneeled at Dick's grave. "I'm sorry, Dick. I couldn't. I never wanted this to happen. Thank you. You were the light in my life. You showed me what it's like to be real. I lived years without knowing what I was missing. But you showed me. You showed me that you were the part that was missing. But you don't have to worry. I won't be lost again. I have Jason. You would have liked Jason if you had met him. He's your brother. He's not your replacement or anything. I never would have found him if not for you. Again, thank you for everything." After Bruce's words were done, he quickly left, Jason trailing after him.

These events could not have been stopped. Everything that happened to them led up to this. The only thing that could have stopped this from happening was Batman saying no to Robin for the joint patrol with Artemis. Dick had wanted to prove that he could be great at teamwork, even if it was with a girl one year older than him.

But somehow that went wrong. And they were missing.

What they didn't know was that Dick and Artemis were pushed to their limits, gone through things that not one other person has been through, and found happiness in a place that seemed hopeless.

And you will soon get to see through their eyes what they went through.

Ooooh, cliffy! Anyway, please review! Tell me if you loved it hated it, whatever! Well, you can't really judge now because we haven't even gotten close to the good part! I have many ideas for this story!

By the way, another reason that you shouldn't judge now is because this is hard to write, you know, the POV, and I don't want to give away too much!

Have a fan-freaking-tastic day!
