A\N: Welcome to Life's second story, my dear kittens. I can't actually believe I'm writing a second series revolving around Life. In all honesty, I started writing Life of Death just because I wanted to write something where a ninja girl sneaks into a Museum XD Don't we all just love plot bunnies? :P

Anyway, this is due to your votes otherwise I wouldn't be giving Life a sequel. And for some reason, I'm getting this strange feeling that I might end up discontinuing this series. It may be that or maybe 'cause I'm just getting hungry XP Lol. You guys go ahead and read while I make myself a sandwich.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Young Justice. I only own Life and the new original character I've added in the story.

Enjoy~

Heroes never die. They live on forever in the hearts and minds of those who would follow in their footsteps.

|THE WATCHTOWER

|JANUARY 1, 3:58 EST

His gloved fingers tapping different keys of the computer infront of him, Robin paused, a smile lifting the ends of his mouth as two arms coiled around his neck from the back. Bending down, Death rested her chin on his shoulder, staring at the computer's screen with no interest.

"What're you doing?" She inquired, the acrobat resuming his work. "I'm trying to find out what happened in those past sixteen hours." He replied, masked eyes glued to the screen.

The dark magician quirked an eyebrow, shrugging. "We're gonna have a small party in the cave. You coming?"

"No. I've got work to do."

Death blinked, allowing his words to sink in. "You can't be serious!" She scowled, giving the boy a little shake. "Come on, idiot. Batman's gone to have a meeting with Wonder Woman and Superman about those hours. He'll take care of it."

"I know Bat's got this." Robin said, typing down as numerous files popped up infront of him. "But I've got to know what Vandal did with the League when they were in his control."

"Maybe he made them clean his house?" Death offered and then snickered. "I mean, I can totally picture Batman scrubbing Vandal's toilet with a toothbrush."

Robin rolled his eyes beneath his mask, turning his head to send her an unamused look. "Wow. Aren't you Miss. Hilarious?" He inquired sarcastically, Death ignoring his tone as she grinned. "So are you coming with me or what?"

A smirk coming to his lips, Robin brought his eyes back to the screen. "What?"

The dark haired girl glared at him before groaning. "Dick...!" She whined, burying her face in the side of his neck as he rolled his eyes again. "I'm busy. You guys go ahead and celebrate." He told her, continuing his work.

Giving out a frustrated groan, Death pulled a chair beside him. "You know? There's a saying I believe with all my heart." She began, plopping down on it and resting her chin on her palm. "What you don't know, can't hurt you."

"Yeah," Robin agreed, attention fully focused on the screen. "It can't hurt you but it may kill you." Batman's protégé winced as the dark magician smacked his arm with a wee too much force.

"Way to go and ruin the awesome quote, moron." She snapped, glaring visual daggers at him before fixing him with a flat stare. "You're not moving your butt out of this chair, now are you?" Death asked him, frowning when he simply smirked in answer.

The young hacker couldn't help but be amused when she rubbed her head against his arm. "I seriously hate you sometimes." Death grumbled despite snuggling closer to him. "You're not going?" He asked, clicking a few keys.

"Nah..." She answered honestly, staring at the number of files he had opened on Vandal Savage. "I'm gonna stay here with you."

"You can go, rabbit. You don't need to stay 'cause of me."

"I don't wanna go now." The girl bounced her shoulders, surprising the boy as she shifted her head from his arm to rest on his chest. "I love your cologne." She mumbled, leaning even closer to him, unaware to the heat rising to his cheeks. Tugging down her mask, a grin tugged her lips on feeling him kiss her hair.

"You're like a teddy bear," The dark magician murmured, Robin raising an eyebrow in amusement. "I'm a teddy bear?" He echoed, Life nodding in response as she wrapped her arms around his neck, cuddling into his chest. "Yeah, you're my cute little teddy bear." She answered easily when her expressions became thoughtful. "Remember when I said that I really hate you sometimes? I take it back."

Black Canary's protégé grinned, cocking her head up. Silver eyes meeting white lenses, she delivered a soft peck to the tip of his nose. "I love you all the time." A warm blush spread over her cheeks as he instantly embraced her, a smile on his lips as he hugged her tightly to his chest.

And the only sound audible to her was the beating of his heart.

Five years later...

|NEW YORK CITY

|JANUARY 1, 18:26 EST

"Don't mess this up." She mumbled to herself, emerald green eyes fixed on the elevator infront of her. Her muscles tensed as it's doors flung open, a scarlet haired beauty running inside with a Chinese man behind her.

Batgirl's eyes found her and she grimaced, "He's coming." She told her before running ahead, guiding the Chinese man towards the main rooms.

The blonde nodded, pursing her lips as the com-link in her ear burst to life. "Wonder Girl's down." Her mentor reported, "He's coming your way. Be on your guard, Mystica."

Sliding the sword out of its sheath, the fourteen-year old narrowed her green eyes as a heavy body crashed down the whole elevator, an enormous white-skinned man entering the hallway. His red eyes landed on her and his expressions became annoyed.

"Hey, ugly!" Mystica called out to him, raising the sword in the air. "Didn't your mom teach you it's wrong to hit girls?" She snarled, charging forward.

Lobo dodged her blows, chills running down the blonde's spine as he caught her arm. "Keesy fem!" The large man hissed, throwing her into the side wall.

An 'oomph' escaped her mouth as her body collided into the wall then dropped down to the floor with a thud. "Mystica, are you alright?" The feminine voice in her ear asked and she pulled herself onto her feet. "Yeah," She scowled, placing the sword back in its sheath. "I'm fine, Death." She answered, a smile coming to her lips as Wonder Girl entered the room, the Amazon smiling back as she approached her.

Finger pressed against the small device in her ear, Death parted her lips to further question but paused, watching Batgirl bolt into the main room with Tseng, the Chinese general. The dark magician arched an eyebrow, Batgirl ducking herself and the general behind the long desks when the door were thrown open, Lobo stepping into the room, his red eyes promising murder as he looked around for the Chinese man.

The dark magician walked infront of him, ignoring the way his face scrunched up into a snarl. "Who ever you are or whatever you are," Death began, glaring at him. "Surrender or I'd be forced to take you down." She warned.

Lobo cocked his head to the side, an unimpressed look coming to his face. "Keesy fem thinks she can take down the Main Man." He laughed heartily, his chuckles echoing in the enormous room.

Gloved hand balling into fists, Death growled and then she threw out a fist, startling the large man as it slammed into his right cheek, making him stagger backwards. He wasn't fully recovered when she flipped forward, giving herself a boost and crashing her combat boots against his face.

Toppling to the ground, Lobo pushed himself up, rubbing his chin. "Keesy fem good," He complemented, turning to his left and lifting up a chair. Death ducked as it was sent hurling her way and then she gasped, Lobo delivering such a hard kick to her side that had sent her soaring into the nearby tables.

"But not good enough." He smirked cockily, falling backwards when a strong body slid his feet off the floor.

"Hold it, clown face! We weren't done dancing!" Wonder Girl smirked, clenched fists ready to attack as she landed infront of him. The large man fixed her with a menacing glare, getting up from the ground. "Keesy fem." He growled, the blonde snorting in response. "Yeah, yeah, keesy fem. I've been called worse." She scoffed, then became thoughtful. "I think?"

The strong blonde flew up, punching him square in the jaw. Still in the air, Wonder Girl roundhouse kicked him in the face, causing him to stagger backwards before she pulled out her golden lasso, catching his upper torso inside it. Lobo laughed darkly, grabbing the lasso and yanking the teen closer to him, large fist slamming into her face.

As Wonder Girl crashed into the roof, Batgirl flipped over him, planting small bombs on his shoulders when he tossed her into the chairs ahead. "Planet of the keesy fem." Lobo scowled, but then became aware of the strong beeping noises echoing in his ears.

The bombs on his arms blew into small explosions and Wonder Girl bolted towards him, releasing a surprised gasp as he clasped a hand onto her ankle, knocking her into Batgirl.

Two hands were suddenly clamped on his eyes, Mystica biting her tongue as he began jerking right and left. "Keesy fem!" Lobo roared furiously, the blonde trying to keep her hold on him as she wrapped her legs around his mid back. "What the hell does keesy fem even mean?!" She questioned him, green eyes widening as he grabbed both of her wrists.

Finally getting up, Death raised her hands in the air, lips running with a spell. "Emoks dnilb m-" She was cut short, Lobo throwing Mystica at her. Crashing into the table again, a fluent curse left the dark magician's lips as her protégé laid over her, moaning softly.

In a flash, Lobo was standing infront of the scared Chinese general. The corners of his mouth curling into a smirk, Lobo caught Tseng's arms. "Time to die, Krolo."

Leaping to their feet, Death and Mystica stared, horror creeping over their faces as Lobo tore the man open, Wonder Girl and Batgirl pausing in their run, both of them watching with eyes as wide as saucepans. All gazes were fixed on the small golden skinned alien sitting inside Tseng's body, looking absolutely scared.

Lobo plucked him out of the ripped body, ignoring the alien's screeching and clicked a button on his gauntlet. "The Main Man's job is done." He announced, smirking at the small group of females. "Keesy fems, your world's your world."

The wall behind him burst into an enormous explosion, smoke drifting in the room as Lobo hopped into his spaceship hovering outside. He placed the small alien infront of him, two metals wrapping around his neck to keep him in place. Lobo laughed, guiding his ship into the sky.

Mystica stalked forward with Wonder Girl, the blonde watching Lobo's ship disappear somewhere in the moonlit sky. "I think- I think..." Wonder Girl stammered, locking gazes with the fellow blonde. "Clown face was an alien."

Death scowled deeply, Batgirl kneeling beside Tseng's ripped body. "And that's not even the scary part." She commented, looking over at Death as the dark haired beauty gave out a sigh, pressing a finger to the com-link in her ear.

"This is Death to Nightwing," Her steely gaze swept over the ripped Chinese body then came to Batgirl, the redhead staring at her. "Whoever that guy was, he escaped. And he did something absolutely absurd. You might wanna see it from the building's security footage."

Her chest tightened as Batman's former protégé responded from the other side, "Acknowledged." He said and the magician turned to her team, ready to announce about going back to the mountain when Nightwing spoke up again. "Is anyone hurt?"

Death pursed her lips, casting a glance to everyone. "No, everyone's fine." She answered honestly.

There was a small pause, "Are you okay?" His voice was so soft as he asked.

Her shoulders slumping slightly, she ignored the chattering of Wonder Girl and Mystica, a deep sigh escaping her lips. Silver eyes met brilliant blue ones and Death tore her gaze away from Batgirl's worried face. "We're coming back. Over and out." She ended the link, avoiding his question.

Running a hand through her dark locks, she peered through the enormous hole Lobo had created, a heavy sigh leaving her hidden lips as her gaze came across the beautiful moon in the sky, surrounded by numerous glittering stars.

The ends of her lips pulled downwards, "I'm not okay." She whispered to herself.

A\N: And say hello to the prologue! :D Hopefully things will make more sense from the next chapter... Hopefully. Oh and incase someone's wondering, 'keesy fem' means 'little girl'. It's alien language :P

Thank you so much for reading, dearies~
