News hurts more then you know

(Artemis's P.O.V.)

This wasn't suppose to happen, this wasn't the plan and now Nightwing was dead. I was shocked that he was the one to fall, he was so young just eighteen. Nightwing was one of my closest friends growing up. Thoughts swirled around my head.

What will happen now that he's dead? What will Wally and everyone who knew him do? But the biggest question was what will Batman do now? I sat next to Nightwing's body as everyone who couldn't fly got on board. Batgirl sat in a chair closest to Nightwing but she wouldn't look at him.

She was silently crying her eyes out and what was strange is that I know how she felt. Nightwing's wound was still bleeding but it was slowing now. In our old team he was the funny one that kept us together. But that was so long ago things have changed and now we might not be the same again.

He was my little brother and tonight he talked like he was my big brother. That is if you believe that because now that is what I want to think. "Black Canary can you get everyone who knows Nightwing and get them to the cave?" Superboy said, his relationship to BC was stronger then most.

"Conner why? But even if you don't tell me. I'll still do it over and out." Everything was silent and I stood up and looked around. Everyone was looking down except Superboy who was driving the bio-ship. I sat back down, memories of the past swarmed my mind.

Memories of missions and funny moments at the cave flooded me with emotions. I looked at Batgirl again and got up. I walked over to her and put my hand on her shoulder. She looked up at me and then quickly looked down. "Come with me." Is all I said to her and she followed me to the back where Nightwing was.

"What is it Artemis?" She stopped at Nightwing's bed, I went up to her and hugged her. It took her a minute but she gave me a hug too. I broke the hug and took her hand. I pulled her over to the side of Nightwing's bed and sat her down in my seat.

"Thanks Artemis." I nodded and sat down in the chair across from her. She stared at him for the rest of the flight and so did I. Finally we landed and Superboy took Nightwing to the infirmary. The whole team sat in the livingroom upset and shock at what happened.

Then the zeta-tubes burst to life as Batman, Robin, Wally, Roy, and so many others came out. "Wheres Nightwing?" Superboy got up and looked at Batman and Robin. "Nightwing was killed tonight by Kaldur." Everyones eyes grew round even Batman's and he went to the infirmary.

"What? my best friend was killed tonight and it was because of our old leader! I can't believe this happened he started this whole opportunity for us all." Wally was really upset and so was Roy soon we calmed them down. Wally and me were crying with each other.

Batman didn't come back, so Robin and Batgirl went to see him. Everyone knew how they all shared a special relationship with him. Soon everyone calmed down and some had to leave. Mostly everyone left when Bats came in. Zatanna was crying with megan and Rocket.

Batman came in and looked at us all. "All of you should go home and get some sleep because Nightwing would want you to and because his funeral is in a few days." With that Batman came up to me and handed me an envelope and the Batclan left soon me and Wally left.

"Wally why do you think Batman gave me this?" I said showing him the envelope. He shook his head and we went into the house welcoming the silents. "You should open it." So I did and what I saw shocked me. There was a picture of me and a boy about thirteen with blue eyes and he was smiling.

There was a note with it as well. "Artemis I did say we would laugh about it someday never thought it would be like this. So now you know my identity. Oh and Wally already knew, he was the only person on the team who knew. ~ Nightwing" I sat down on the couch and looked at the photo.

Those days were so happy and now well I don't want to talk about it. "You knew Wally about Nightwings secret ID and you had a big burden with it. I'm going to bed goodnight." I got up and went to the bedroom. I quickly changed into my pj's and looked at the photo again.

Then I took out a scrape book and flipped to a page and placed the photo in it. With a pen I wrote one sentence down. 'Friends to the death and beyond.'

I know this is short but I felt like putting it on a cliff-hanger and plus I couldn't think of anything else. So now Nightwings dead and to put it forward I didn't mean for Babs to cry so much but I felt it was needed. So until next time see you around. :D
