AN: Okay so now it's Impulse's turn! Yay!
I couldn't believe it. I thought Batgirl was joking when she said Nightwing was dead...
I couldn't-wouldn't-believe it. But when Robin and Conner brought in my leaders lifeless body...
I-I broke.
I couldn't move from the smooth floor beneath my feet as if I was frozen in place. Tears threatened to spill as I stood there,mouth gaping.
They rested his body on the couch and Conner stepped, but Robin didn't.
He stood there, his fists tightly clenched in Nightwing's uniform.
He was trembling so hard I thought he was going to break.
Batgirl went over to him immediately and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
I tried to join her, but each step I took I felt as if I were going to collapse like the Twin Towers.
How could Nightwing be dead? He was a Bat.
.Bat. You can't kill one of those!
But I saw how still he was...how pale...
His chest didn't move to show he was breathing. It was true...he was gone...dead.
I felt something wet trail down my face.
Tears.
Right then I decided to lose it.
I crumpled to the ground,letting quiet sobs escape my throat. How was it possible he was alive in the future but dead in the past ( AN: HINT THAT'S A HINT! )? It didn't make any sense!
I barely registered it when Jamie crouched next to me, his face a mixture of concern and grief.
" Bart are you okay amigo? " He whispered.
I swallowed hard.
" No I'm not and neither are you. "
He put a hand on my shoulder. " Your right, I'm not., " He sighed, " How is it possible? He's a Bat! "
I gave a dark laugh. " That's what I was thinking..."
Jamie shook his head. " What are we going to do now? We don't have Nightwing to lead us anymore!" He paused, his fists curling up. " It just isn't fair why did he have to die? Why him?! "
" I don't know Jamie...and it doesn't make any sense..he is alive in the future but dead in the past?" I froze, " Unless..." I zoomed over to Nightwing and gingerly lifted my hand to his face.
" W-what are you doing?! " Robin asked roughly.
" Hold on..." I muttered, not looking at him.
My heart fluttered like a trapped bird as a trickle of breath came past Nightwing's lips just before sky blue eyes snapped open, wild with pain and fear.
I heard Robin and Batgirl gasp behind me.
" Guys." I called, " Nightwing...Nightwing isn't dead!"
