"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
Everybody was wearing black. The spring weather making it hot but that didn't matter. They were in Smallville on a cemetery Conner Kent's funeral. The pastor's toneless voice as he read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 from the bible. They had made a cover story of how he died in a car crash, they couldn't give him a hero's funeral because nobody knew who he was, and that was the covert part of being in the team. Also to many questions that Superman couldn't answer….didn't want to answer.
A time to be born and a time to die, a time to tear down and a time to build,
Conner would hate it, all the attention. People from Happy Harbor High School came, some didn't actually know him but being a football star quarterback that's what you get. Mal Duncan, Karen Beecher and Marvin White plus the whole football team was there wearing there football jerseys symbolic in some way. Clark had been the one who talked him into it said it would help control his strength, make new friends, it had.
A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
Wendy was holding Megan as she cried on her siting down. Barbara holding Dick's hand Zatanna holding the other one as they sat on the chairs sitting next to the girls' calm tears running down his face, Zatanna wiping her tears away. Kaldur's eyes closed, fists clenched, the nails digging into his palms tearing bloody crescent moons.
A time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend,
Roy, Wally and Artemis stood resolutely holding hands seemingly like statues her face was set and you could see no emotion there. She hadn't wanted to be there Wally and Roy had made her, dragged her, they had been worried about her ever since Dick had told them they were giving up on the search for finding Conner. They didn't understand why they had to give up they had been so close to finding him.
A time to search and a time to give up, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
At a corner was Jonathan and Martha Kent were sitting next to Clark, Martha was openly crying while Jonathan holding her Linda Kent (Supergirl) sitting next to them she hadn't meet him she couldn't cry. Lois Lane of the Daily Planet and friend of Clark was standing behind him hand on a shoulder and Jimmy Olsen standing beside her. A black-clad figure standing far away from them Bruce Wayne he didn't have to be there but he wanted to Alfred stood next to the car waiting for the funeral to end.
A time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."
"Would anybody like to say a few words?" the pastor asks. Nobody said anything "Family?" Clark looked at his mother still crying and he shook his head. "Alright." He gave the signal to lower the empty casket. As it went down Megan cried harder, as they stared to shovel dirt in the grave people started to go up to the Kent's saying-
"I am so sorry for you loss." Or "Conner will always be in my thoughts and prayers."
"Conner was an amazing football player and a good friend." Mal Duncan said to them hugging Martha and Jonathan.
"We will miss Conner." Karen said to them hugging and kissing them both on the check.
"I am so sorry about Conner. He was a good friend, and I will miss him very much." Wendy says hugging Clark, Martha and Jonathan.
"He was a hell of a guy." Marvin says smiling then leaving. He whispered to himself. "Can't believe I just said that."
And they leave until nobody was left, chairs gone, some of the flowers were gone as well but the team sitting or lying down on the ground next the disturbed dirt. They were quiet looking up at the sky. The headstone that said, 'In Loving Memory of Conner Kent Rest In Peace March 21, 1997-April 10, 2011'
"I can't believe this." Artemis says breaking the silence. "That stupid poem the priest was saying about times or whatever every pray isn't going to make up for the fact that the only thing that we have left is a hole in our lives were Conner used to be." She stands up "And a rock with a birthday date carved into it that is completely wrong." They all smile, she turns to walk away but Wally grabs her wrist and looks up at her, she looks down and sigh then sits back down sulking, he kisses her forehead.
"What do we do?" Zatanna asks as she closes her eyes puts her head on Kaldur's stomach looking up at the sky.
"Let's just sit here for a little while longer." Megan says to them as she puts down her head on Dick's chest and closes her eyes.
"Yeah, let's do that…its quiet here…it's finally quiet." Dick says to them.

The new Robin was in the holographic memorial to fallen Member Jason Todd Robin, Aquagirl Tula and Superboy Conner Kent. He never met any of them but it reminded him that he wasn't indestructible.
"Hey. What are you doing down here?" Nightwing asks as he walks down the stairs.
"Nothing, just…nothing." Robin says to him.
"Riiiggghhhtt." Nightwing says standing next to him looking up at Jason/Robin then turned to see Superboy/Conner.
Robin turned up to see Nightwing but saw his face, he'd never actually seen him sad before. He looks at what he's looking at "What was he like?" he asks.
"He loved cars and girls and getting into fights… Neapolitan ice-cream and the color green but most of all he loved the thrill of being Robin." Dick tells him thinking he was asking about Jason.
"I was talking about Superboy." Robin says to him smiling.
"Oh…be more specific then." Nightwing says looking back at Robin.
"Got it…so what is Superboy like." He asks.
"He was kinda a hothead, and stubborn he was always trying to impress Superman but he was family we were all family back then… wait 'is?' you just said is…Batman told you huh?" Nightwing said to him. Nobody was supposed to that Superboy wasn't dead.
"No he didn't I hacked his computer." Robin said shaking his head.
"OH he'll love that." Nightwing chuckled.
"I learned it from you." Robin says pointing to him.
"Please don't tell him that." Nightwing says to him.
"So what are you going to do?" Robin asks. Nightwing looks at confused. "About Superboy, he's working for the bad guys now." He says to him "You love him I can tell by the way you look at the hologram."
"Batman says you're going to be a great detective one day I say you already are." Nightwing says. "And yes I do love him like a brother, and honestly I have no idea what I'm going to do when or if he comes to Earth."
"What if he hasn't?" Robin says to him. Nightwing looks at him confused again. "Gone bad, I've seen the profile he has Superman's DNA plus Lex Luthor I'm sure he'd find a way to survive and come home to his family."
"Are you saying what I think your saying?" Nightwing asks him.
"It's a possibility." Robin says to him.
"Nightwing, Robin we need you in the briefing room." Artemis's voice was heard on the speakers.
"We'll talk later." Nightwing says to him as he walks to exit the memorial Robin following him.
…Apokolips
"So anyways I ask her if she wants to go back to my room and she laughs like really laughs. She is really a bitch, I hate her." Absorb says to them as he does chin ups, they are train in the arena like always.
"Or you love her." Hellraiser said punching a punching bag.
"Or I love her." he says as he pushes himself up.
"Are you guys talking about Knockout?" Reaper asks them as he puts on an inhibitor collar.
"Yeah" they both say as they continue to workout.
"She keeps coming on to me." he says. "She's worse than you and Havoc combined."
"Worse? I love you." Hellraiser says to him looking at him.
"You don't know anything about me." Reaper says to her as he jumps and starts do chin ups pulling himself up easily.
"You hate Darkseid, hate him more than us." She goes up to him puts her hands on his waist and he jumps down looking at her she whisper into his ear. "And you're going to turn on him." she smiles at him. He looks at her "I'm nothing like Knockout. I really do care about you." She kisses him on the lips then turns back to punching the bag.
Absorb elbows him on the stomach "She likes you." He teases.
"Shut up." Reaper says then jumps back up and continue to do the chin ups.
Absorb jumps back up as well "Race ya." He says and pulls himself up.
"Reaper!" Havoc yells as she and Seer walk towards them. "The Furies are picking on me again." She whines like a child.
"Kill them." He says as he pulls himself up.
"But but if I do that Daddy and Mommy wouldn't like me anymore." She says pouting and crossing her arms.
"Ok I'll kill them for you." Reaper says smirking.
"Yes!" she hugs him, him being in the middle of a pull up loses his grip and fall down with her. "I love you!" she says as to him on the floor. Hellraiser crosses her arms and glares at them.
"Ok well get off of me so I can kick their butts." Reaper says getting up.
She gets up and Reaper takes a sword that was on the ground and walks up to the Furies.
"Hey girly girls." He says as he walks up to them.
They glare at him while Knockout smirks and goes up to him.
"What's up you fine piece of bacon?" she says smiling at him.
"Do guys mind if Havoc joins the fun?" he asks them.
"Yes we do, it's our time slot deal with it." Gilotina says to him
"Come girls we're all part of the same team here." Reaper says to them, smiling.
"Go got hell." Stompa says to him and rushing him, he looks at her, jumps up behind her. Stompa turns around to punch him he gets down and sweeps his leg under hers and she falls down. He puts the sword on her neck.
"Enough children!" Granny Goodness yells out walking to them. "Play nice." She says to them. She motions for the others come. Reaper steps away from Stompa she gets up angry."I have a very nice surprise for you." The all look at her. "We will go to Earth, all of us. Isn't that exciting?" The all smile at her including Reaper.
…Batcave
Alfred brings in tray of food to the Batcave when he hears a vroom and looks back to see the batmobile coming to a stop. "Back so soon, Master Bruce?" He asks.
"I checked out the woman, Grayle Hudson." Batman says stepping out of the car.
"Anything useful?" Alfred asks looking at him as he walks towards him.
"She honestly didn't know a thing." He says and takes the tray from him, Alfred slightly shocked but Batman walks away before he can say anything. "In fact, she got hysterical when I told her, her dead boyfriend was back. However unlikely, I have to consider that we may be dealing with a copycat…" He looks at the food "Alfred whose meal is this?"
"Not a big peanut butter and jelly fan, huh?" Nightwing says as he turns the computer chair around. Batman looks at him. "Hello Bruce." He stands up "Been a while." He walks up to him and looks at him Batman looks at him back quiet. Batman slams the tray down almost knocking down the milk. " 'Hi Dick how've you been? How's everything with the team?' " Nightwing says pretending to have a conversation with him.
"I know how you're doing-the clashes with Doctor Light, the new Nightwing costume, Batgirl." Batman says sitting down in the computer chair.
"So you do care." Nightwing says leaning on the computer counter.
"You've got a handle on things." He says typing on the computer. "I'm proud of you." Batman says as he stops typing and looking up at him.
"OH…um…thanks." Nightwing stammers then smiles at him. "And the costume is now 20 pounds of Kevlar now."
"Why are you here Dick?" Batman goes back to being his usual self and typing on the computer.
"I just wanted to tell you that Tim knows about Superboy." He looks up at Nightwing, he puts up his hands in defense "I didn't tell him, honest. He hacked your computer." Nightwing says pointing to it.
"I wonder where he got that from." Batman says sarcastically.
"Oh come on, Barbara is better at computers then I am." Nightwing says smiling. "At least he's learning, right?"
"Right…I have something for you." He gets up from his chair and goes to get an envelope, he pulls back his cowl Dick follows and takes off his mask. Bruce then gives the papers to Dick. "I had the document you're holding drafted up." Dick raises an eyebrow then opens the envelope. "It's just a…formality. A gesture." Dick reads the papers he had turned 18 a while back he didn't need this. "Symbolic." Dick looks up at him face to face with Bruce. "You don't have to sign it. If you think it's…frivolous, or disrespectful to the memory of your parents, I'll understand. It doesn't really change anything. It's just the only way I…" Bruce turns back to face the computer "The only way I could think of to convey that…that…" he stammers a bit.
"I get it." Dick says as he puts a hand on Bruce's shoulder, Bruce turning to him. "And I love you too." He looks at him smiling "Got a pen?"
"There's one thing I need you to promise me." he says as he takes out a pen and hands it over to him. Then starts' walking to Jason's Robin uniform as Dick starts to sign the documents then looks up at Bruce.
"Nothing's gonna happen to me, Bruce." Dick says to him. "I was trained by Batman, remember? I'm not going anywhere." He walks up to him looking at the glass with the Robin costume. "Listen to me. I know this must feel like such a huge risk to you, but the unsafe part is already over. You've been living with the danger for years now. Me and Alfred and Barbara and Tim…you already have people you couldn't stand to lose. You already have a legacy, Bruce." He smiles up at Bruce and puts a hand on his shoulder. "You already have a family." Bruce smiles back at him.
