I own nothing!

Artemis's POV

I couldn't believe it! Robin was 13 year old Richard Grayson; ward of Bruce Wayne; the billionaire playboy. He was my classmate! I can't believe he's gone! He was like my little brother; my insane, fearless, traught, wise, strong little brother!

You know he taught me a great lesson.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Stand a little taller doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone. What doesn't kill you makes a fighter; footsteps even lighter! Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone! What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger! Just me myself and I! What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Stand a little taller; doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone!"

I caught him singing and dancing to that once. He was on the table pointing at the ceiling and singing! When I asked him what that was about he said, "It's so true, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger! I've had a difficult life; especially what allowed me to become Robin; the event that happened was tragic and no I cannot tell you what that is. Let's just say, I thought I would die, but yet here I am! It's tough but keeping your chin up and staying strong while being with support of your friends is helpful. You can't let anything get you down….stay strong….and fight!" My only response was a, "Deep Boy Wonder" with a smirk. I never told anyone but what he really said got to me. I could tell he was serious when he said it, too.

I never dreamed that the boy wonder would become a little brother to me. He was always there. He never pushed for answers, yet he was there to listen; he was the shoulder I needed to rest on. Robin didn't need to be told he just knew.

It had always amazed me; his strength, his will power. The thing that would drive him to never give up (1). His incredible ability to remain calm no matter the situation. He was truly something to admire. With his fantastic skills that shocked the entire world, which allowed him to become a part of the dynamic duo. With his training he was amazingly flexible; which allowed him to make up for the lack of super-powers.

"Get traught or get dead! (2)" I'd never been so scared then in that moment. He sounded so furious, so angered, frustrated as if I was a child who needed to be taught a lesson in behaving properly. His superior attitude as if he, no; we could accomplish defeating two powerhouse robots that took out our super-powered friends with next to no effort.

It really hurt the team. His death. It had me thinking...that he was right! It hurts but I know that we will recover from this blow! Eventually. I don't know when but I know we will recover because his death did not kill us, it strengths us.

I don't think Robin ever gave up his fight. Wherever he is now….he's probably still fighting for justice. He had an admirable strength; maybe not physically although he could pack a punch but emotionally and mentally which in my books today was worth a lot more.

Diamond may be the hardest gem but gold is a lot more secretive, it has a hidden strength to it; and in my books the boy wonder was pure true golden.

- I used this sentence from Robin's interview with Black Canary where he states that Batman has this thing that drives him to complete the mission at all costs

I used this from the episode 'Homefront'. (Sorry if this is wrong but I have other stories to work on plus dishes to do)

Thank you for reading this!

By the way for anyone confused gold is more hidden as there is fool's gold. I am using the Golden that is: new young, fresh, innocent (not really fitting with the metal but hey I wanted to do that.
