Hey guys. Now here is a chapter that's going to explain a bit about Bart and Dick. I updated one day earlier. Hope you like the chapter.

Theawesomeflash: Glad you like the story so far. Sorry that you feel a little peeved about Nightwing's new speed. He won't use it much in the future, only where I need him to. This chapter will explain why he got it, it's all Bart's fault. I got plans for Wally, many plans which I have to choose between. Hope you don't mind too much…

"Bart, Dick play nice." Caroline said to her son and his younger friend. Dick was 6 and Bart was 4. Bart was the son of the current Flash and his wife. When Bart had grown and begun to speak, he and Dick had become good friends. The Flash family and Bat family was close as they both had a father in the former League.

The only speedster they hadn't got along with was Wally West. He had been an angry speedster. He was rude and didn't care about others. He had been close to Barry but when he got older he quit the hero gig and became a loner. Now as the Reach has invaded, everyone believes Wally was either taken and experimented on or killed.

Barry's son and daughter took up the masks when they got old enough. Don had taken up Kid Flash and Dawn created Impulse. Now, as Barry died on a mission, Don took over the mantle as Flash. He and Batman worked together a lot. Bart's mother, Melony, got along well with Caroline, and the two women often worked together against their husbands.

Both families sat in a room talking. The two kids played on the floor with each other. Bart was showing off his newly found powers to his best friend. Dick was pouting but still smiling for his friend. Everyone wondered where he got the happy personality from(Caroline), after all, Damian takes after his own father.

Bart suddenly stopped in front of his friend and took both hands on top of Dick's shoulders. They both began to vibrate. Don and Tim noticed first and screamed. Everyone watched terrified as the kid who just got his powers used it on another kid. (not good) When Bart let go, they both just stood there. Their families watching for anything wrong, well, until: "Race you!" Then Bart sped off. Dick smirked (that he so got from his father) and also sped away with super speed. On his own. The grownups could only gape as they watched them run at high speeds. This continued for ten minutes until Dick began to be noticeably slower. Then he ran at normal speed. He became very tired and hungry and both kids asked for food. Their mothers both got the kids to the kitchen.

Tim began to write down the happening discussing what could possibly have happened. The thing they knew for now was that, now Bart could lend his powers to Dick and they could use it to their advantage. The base should be terrified. The bats and flashes were for sure.

"Daaaad. Why can't I join you? I'm really good. You said so yourself." Little Richard was whining to his father. "Richard, you know why you can't join us. We are battling the Reach and people are getting killed every time. We are not doing this for fun. Me and your uncles and aunts are going because we have been doing this for a long while. You are only eleven and I would be a terrible father if I let you out in danger at this age. You will not fight until the age of thirteen. That's it." Then Damian took on the cowl and Batman left the room.

Richard or Dick as everyone else calls him, stood there pouting for some minutes until a blur ran past him, returned and stopped in front of him. "Dick! What are you doing? Let me guess, something crash?!" nine-year-old Bart Allen stood in front of Dick speaking almost too fast for him to understand, luckily he grew up with Bart and other speedsters, so he understood speed talk. "Bart, dad and the others just left." "So?" "They are never going to take me with them, even if I'm better than most of them! I'm just a little kid who should not be part of a war. I want to help so badly." "We can always train and then prank them for leaving us behind." Bart was smiling. Dick gave a Cheshire grin as ideas of pranks popped into his head. And the two of them left to get their prank supplies.

Dick and Bart stood in the hangar waiting for the heroes to come back after their mission. Many people who hadn't been on the mission stood in the hangar as well, but they looked sad. And some looked away from the boys. The boys got a bad feeling that they weren't told something.

The ship with the heroes came into the hangar and it slowly opened. Flash and Quick Silver came out. Heads bowed and tears in their eyes. Their uniforms were torn and blood and bandages was easily seen. They walked to their son and nephew. They both held around Bart and sobs could be heard. "Dad. Aunt Dawn. What's going on?"

Caroline walked into the hangar and looked around for her son. She found him beside the Flashes and silently took his hand in hers. She then slowly walked to the ship with Dick beside her. The Red Hood and Red Robin came out carrying a board with a figure on it and a white blanket over him. Caroline gave a sob. It was then Dick realized who was under the blanket. Tears sprang up in his eyes. "NO! it can't be true! He promised. HE PROMISED!" Dick Al Ghul Wayne was crying over the death of Damian Al Ghul-Wayne. His uncles looked hearth broken on as the mother and child cried over the death of their husband and father.

Dick lied on top of the bed in his room. He stared up into the ceiling. He hadn't taken off his uniform after he came back to the base. His blood soaked uniform of a red t-shirt, black hooded jacket, black pants, all lined with Kevlar, and combat boots. His mask lied in his hand. Tear tracks were clearly visible on his face. He couldn't move, couldn't think. The only thing he saw was the murder of his uncle.

Red Hood hang dead from Blue Beetle's sword. Blood was dripping down his uniform and down into a puddle below him. Blue Beetle smiled cruelly and dropped the body. Renegade ran to his uncle's side. Blood pooled from the wound and painted his uniform red. Tears sprang into his eyes behind the mask. "Another bat down." Came the deep voice of Beetle. Renegade turned in anger and began to fiercely attack. Beetle got some hits but punched Renegade in the stomach and then kicked him. Renegade fell to the ground, he looked up as Beetle stood over him with the sword. Ready to stab through him too.

When the sword came down for him, Renegade was lifted off the ground and away from Beetle, his uncle's corps and the fight. Dick looked up at his savior and met green eyes and brown hair.

Dick was disturbed out of his flashback when the door opened and someone walked in. They sat down on the bed beside him. Dick looked at the person and met the same green eyes from the flashback.

Bart looked terrible, his suit was also bloody teared in different places. Bandages were visible in others. "Want to talk about it?" Dick shook his head. Bart lied down beside his friend and brought his arms around him. Bart brought him into a tight hug, letting Dick lean on him and cry on into his shoulder. Bart began to cry too as the memories of the awesome uncle came to his mind. They both lied there sobbing into each other, never letting go of the other. It had been their first time watching an ally die on the field, and it wouldn't be the last.

| METROPOLIS

| 2053 SEPTEMBER 8, 14:23 ETD

Dick was on top of a building in his uniform. They were in metropolis for a mission. They were grabbing some parts to a machine Tim was building. He didn't know what it was, but he knew it was important.

Bart sat crouched beside him, using his visor to zoom down on the street below them. Dick was doing the same with his mask. "Think Beetle is here?" "Hope not. With only the two of us, we would be in serious danger." "Yeah. Still angry about those." "Get in line."

Soldiers came out of a building and they had brought the part with them. Renegade and Impulse shared a look and then a nod. Impulse gave Renegade his hand and vibrated their molecules. They then ran down on the street. Renegade took out his laser gun and began shooting at the soldiers while he ran around them. Soldiers fell to the ground, drowning in their own blood.

Impulse ran up the soldiers holding the part and took it out of their hands. "Thanks for this. Now if you could die then that would be great!" He then snapped their necks in seconds. Still holding the part, he looked at his partner who stood not far from him with a smoking gun.

Then Blue Beetle flew down at them. Beetle punched Impulse and he fell to ground in pain. Renegade roared and took out his sword and attacked Beetle. Beetle met Renegade's blade with his own. Their swords collided and sparks flew. "Well Renegade, still don't understand that I will kill you and all your friends? I first killed your father, then your uncle, then your team members. When will you also fall to my sword?" Renegade gritted his teeth. "NEVER! I will continue to fight as long as I'm alive." "Your grave." Their fight continued and Renegade's arms began to hurt and his hits weaker. Bart saw this and began to get ready to grab his friend and then run for it.

When Renegade was pushed back and stumbled, Impulse took his opportunity. He ran, grabbed Renegade and dragged him away as fast as he could. They stopped with the still functioning zeta-beams. "Thanks Bart. I don't know how much longer I could have fought him." Bart smiled at him. "No problem. I'd rather not watch my best friend get killed. Let's get this to Timmy huh?" Dick smiled back and they went through the zeta-beams and into the base. Their fight was over but not the war.

Tim Drake stood in front of the table. Dick and Bart sat beside each other at the table with the Flashes, Barbra, Stephanie and Cassandra. "Nathaniel, former Neutron, has the plans of a time machine. With that, we could send someone back in time to the year 2016, when the Reach came to earth." "Who should we send?" "Someone who don't exist in that time, and wont for a while." Tim looked down. "You don't mean… You want to send Dick and Bart?! I can't believe it!" Stephanie was seething. Cassandra frowned. Dick and Bart was wide eyed. The Flashes glared. "I'm not sending Bart away!"

The older heroes screamed at each other. Dick and Bart shared a look and nodded. They both got up from their chairs and the screaming stopped. "Tim, I think the plan could work. Me and Bart are willing to do it." Dick said. "Just the chance to stop the Reach makes it worth it." Said Bart in anger. Don looked at his son, seeing a soldier, ready to give his life for the war. He sighted sadly and sat down. "Since when have you grown up Bart? Weren't you our little boy not that long ago?" "Dad I'm sixteen. A teenager grown up with war, I was always a bit old for my age." "You and Dick always were. Be careful." "Aren't I always?" Bart hugged his father.

Dick looked Tim in the eyes. "What's the plan?" Tim sighed. "You and Bart will have to read up on the year and important happenings. Then you need to lay a plan. I'm not sure when the machines are finished but they are soon. Maybe in a year or two."

| MOUNT JUSTICE

Two machines stood in the ruins of the mountain. Red Robin had his hologram computer out. And was typing away. Looking for faults and dangers with the machines. Bart and Nathaniel were working on the two machines. Dick was getting their stuff and weapons.

Dick had his bag slung over his shoulder. He stood beside Tim. "Anything wrong?" Tim looked at Dick for a second and missed the little miscalculation going past the computer. "No. everything seems fine. You ready for leaving?" "Yeah, I am." They stood in silence for a bit. "Tim, please take care of everyone. We won't meet again or maybe I'll meet the younger you, but I'll lose my second uncle. It's not fair." Tears were in his eyes. "Dick, you are nineteen. A grown up. I'm glad I could watch you grow. Your father, grand-father and Jason would have been proud of you. You stay safe okay?" "Of course and I got Bart to help me out. As you know, we are the last dynamic duo." "Don't forget that, or your family. Oh and tell Bruce that he should be more friendly. He is a terrible father." "Heh, I'll tell him. Thank you for everything." They hugged. Tears couldn't be held back. Dick had said farewell to everyone yesterday and it still hurt. "Let's go Dick. The past awaits."

To explain a little, in 2056 Dick is 19 and Bart 17. I made Bart older because I wanted the two of them to be closer in age. Bart can share his speed with Dick for a period of time. Their parents didn't want Bart to try it on others and it were already too late for Dick. Caroline is Colin female. I'm not sure this chapter came out as good as I hoped.

I have a problem. I counted in my notebook the plots I have and it came over 40... Now I have put on my profile some plots i would like to read myself and wonder if someone wanted to take a look and maybe write them. I would be soo happy if someone actually want to write about one of them. If you are a writer and don't have a story to write on at the moment please take a look. Most of them have Dick Grayson as the main character.
