The Lost
Disclaimer: Young Justice is back and so am I
A/N: sorry about how shitty the last chapter was but I had so many Ideas that I need to cram them all in. Anyways I wanted to clear up any confusion: Wally and Artemis are not together and they never will be in any of my stories. Kaldur is still undercover, and he and Dick are in on this together, because they're both my favorites. And sadly there will still be character death in this fic because it's been confirmed that my beloved Jay-bird is head and I'm going to cry in the corner now. Please enjoy the story.
Dick is frozen; his body is completely stiff, unmovable. His mind is screaming for him to run, just run and never stop. But his body just won't fucking move. Bruce is, in a similar state of mind, But Jason, surprisingly is the first one to speak.
"Cobb," he asks his eyes wide under his domino mask. Dick swallows the lump in his throat as the tension grows around him. Bruce finally voices his own confusion.
"Who is cobb," he demands because, as stupid as it is, all he can think of is a Cobb salad. Jason points at Dick.
"He is," Jason says. "He's a police officer." Bruce glares at Jason and then at Dick.
"So you talk to your replacement but you don't talk to me," the bat demands. "I took you in! I trained you!"
"You fired me," Dick shouts. "You took the best part of my life away from me!"
"I was protecting you," Bruce shouts.
"From what," Dick screams. "A villain you created! Just like every other creep and crook in Gotham! They've all got a beef with bat and they take it out on ever innocent citizen in the whole damn city! It's you! It's all you so don't pretend like you know what's best because you don't! You don't know shit! And—SMACK!" Dick is thrown off his feet when a hand makes hard contact with his right cheek. M'gann lets out a gasp of shock and horror. But out of everyone it is Jason who is most taken aback.
Dick spits blood out of his mouth and glares. Jason is standing stock still, terrified, horrified, and confused. Dick stands.
"Do you think that makes you strong," he asks. "Or does bullying the boy you're supposed to protect do that for you?" he doesn't even care if he gets hit again because all the pent up anger from the past five is coming out. He feels tears of anger burning in his eyes.
"How I handle my ward is none of your concern," Bruce barks. Dick laughs bitterly.
"Your right," Dick snarls. "Because we're not family. I never want you in my life again." Dick shoves past Bruce and out of the room. Wally quickly follows refusing to lose his best friend ever again. They leave mount Justice together without another word.

"Wow I can't believe you went from a mansion to this," Wally mutters looking around Dick's tiny but neat apartment. Dick smiles weakly, trying to calm the feelings that are overwhelming him. Wally sits next to him on the second hand couch.
"Dude this is messed up," Wally mutters.
"Walls," Dick says. "I'm so sorry, for everything. It all just got so out of control, I didn't know what to do. I was so scared but I didn't want you to get hurt. In the end the opposite happened." Wally puts a hand on his shoulder.
"I should be more pissed," Wally admits. "But punching you in the face made me feel much better." Dick gives a halfhearted laugh.
"I missed you," Dick says. "So much." The two sit in silence for a few moments when there's a knock on the door. Dick blinks in confusion and stands. Barbara is on a mission so it can't be her and anyone undercover with him wouldn't be dumb enough to come to his apartment. Dick opens the door and his mouth drops in confusion.
"Jason," he chokes out. "What are you doing here?!" Jason bites his lip trying with all his might to stay strong.
"I-I," he stutters. "I just met you…I didn't want you to be gone again. I didn't like it when you were just something Bruce wouldn't let Alfred tell me about and pictures locked in your old room." Dick sighs.
"How did you even find me," Dick asks. Jason gives a cocky smirk.
"You weren't they only kid trained by the bat," Jason says crossing his arms. Dick actually gives a real honest laugh.
"Just for one night," he says though he has a strong feeling it will be much more.
A/N: Well I hope I did Jay-bird justice. The only comics I own with him, he's either red hood or in Death in the Family. I honestly didn't plan for this to go in the direction this is but I have a feeling this is going to turn into my first long, non-super angst fic. Well I hope you all enjoyed!
