Conner's P_O_V:

we were soon all settled in the living room, with either coffee, or hot chocolate/tea. I looked around at my family once more. my grandparents are sitting on the sofa in front of me, my grandfathers arm around my grandmothers shoulder. on their left are my parents, my mother curled into my fathers side, and my father-in-law was squished in beside them. on my grandparents right were Alfred and Diana, DJ resting on his mothers lap.

on the sofa to my right sat Dinah and Ollie, his arm resting on her shoulder. and beside them rested Barry and Iris. on the sofa to my left, rested the pack. Jay had found a seat on Dick's lap, just as Arty had found one on Wally's, and then Kaldur was sitting on the arm of the sofa, they were the perfect picture of a loving group of brothers and sisters. than I looked at the people sitting beside be on the small love seat Ann and I had claimed for our own so many years before. Ann sat at my side, my arm around her waist holding her to me, Jace was on my lap, his left hand playing with the necklace given to me by a close friend from an alien planet I once saved. the twins had sat themselves beside Jace, and Raven had somehow managed to lay across her brothers laps, without them pushing her off. I smiled, as I saw just how much the boys loved their sister, and knew that I would never have to worry about her and boys, not when she had these three as brothers.

I looked around once more, and as I once more looked aver my brothers and sisters, I thought back to the letters I had read. I looked directly at Wally, and couldn't help but smirk as I got an amazing idea.

"Wally" I said, and waited until all eyes were on me, "in your letter, you said you were going to do something on Jace' sixth birthday. are you truly going to make me wait? you know I won't be able to keep it a secret."

Wally laughed as understanding filled his eyes. then he smiled, and looked at Arty for a moment. his smile grew even wider as I stood up, picking Arty up with him, and sat Arty on the coach where they had just been sitting. he smiled at me once more, before turning towards Arty and getting down on one knee, pulling a ring bow from his pocket as he knelt.

"you're amazing Arty, you are unlike any girl I've ever met. you laugh at my jokes, even when you think they are the worst things you've ever heard. you aren't afraid to kit me upside the head if I need it, and you aren't afraid of hurting my feelings, if I need to hear the truth, that's what you tell me, no matter how much I'm gonna hate it. you are beautiful, smart, funny, and you are the girl that I've fallen head over heels in love with. I love you more than life itself Arty, and if you say no to my question, than I truly believe that I will fall over and die. so my question if this Arty, will you marry me?"

"or course I'll marry you Wally. after all, if I don't keep you outta trouble who will?" Arty said, pretending to be unaffected by the proposal, but just seconds later and she was kissing Wally as tears of joy made their way down her cheeks. "I love you Wally, I have since the day I first saw you, and I will until the day I die. but I swear, if you disappear for five years like Conner did, I will cut off your dick and shove it up your hole."

everyone laughed and cheered for the newly engaged couple, before Wally mentioned that I was supposed to be telling them my story, and what had been happening to me for the past five years.

"well, where do you want me to start?" I asked them, not knowing weather they wished for me to start at when I awoke on the planet, or when I came back from the future and ran into Luther and his trap. Wally just opened his mouth to answer when I felt one, of the many, amulets around my neck zap me. I quickly pull the amulet out from around my neck, and see that it is the one given to me by Nofele. I told you that Nofele is the Prince of Groza, but what I had left out, was that Groza was the planet that Luther left me on all those years ago. Nefele was the one that found me, nearly drowned in the ocean beside the castle, and then nursed me back to health. he became my brother, and his parents became my own. we had even made it, since the queen could have no other children, that if something happened to the entire royal family, than I would be the ruler of Groza until I chose someone I believed to be good to the planet.
coming out of my thought, I wondered why the amulet would zap me, and then I remembered. if Nofele ever needed to contact me, and it was to important to send in a letter, or I needed to hear it immediately, than he could send a hologram of himself through the amulet, and we could talk as if we were right next to each other. with this memory, I pressed the button that excepted the message, and allowed the hologram.

"hey Nef..." my voice trailed off as soon as I saw his face. he had the blood-red tracks leading from his eyes, that signaled that he has been morning, and the scales around his eyes were black, showing that he has had little sleep. I could feel a lump forming in my throat, as I thought of all the dreadful things that could have happened on Groza, that could cause my brother to look as he does.

Nefele finally seemed to find his strength once more, and he stood. I stood with him, and we both raised our arms so our hands were resting on the others shoulders. when Nefele spoke, his voice was strong, and there was no crack. "the edderkopp king sent an assassin to kill my parents Rhee, they succeeded, and my parents were found dead in their bed this past hour. the assassins left a note from their king, asking for a peace treaty to be created between Groza and edderfind. the note was found stuck to the blade that had been stabbed through my fathers heart."

I could feel the confusion of my family growing, and I knew that what Nefele would do next would shock them even more. I turned to my brother, and looking him straight in the eye, I asked him what he was going to do about the treaty.

"I will accept" he said, his voice strong. "I realize that, although it pains me to lose my parents, the treaty never would have worked if my parents were still alive. their king did what he believed he must do in order for the treaty to happen, and for this I can not fault him. I will not seek revenge, for I would have done the same, I will accept his proposal, and accept the treaty between our two planets. I will do what is best for my planet, as every good king should. because with my parents death, I am now the king Rhee, and I will have to act like it."

"I'm proud of you Neil," I said, using the nickname I'd given him so long ago.

"there is one other thing Rhee, I need your help." Neil took a deep breath before continuing, "I need you to come to Groza, and help me with the treaty. you are well respected in every galaxy, and peace will be kept. and of course, you may bring along the family. by the way, I'm glad that you have remembered everything and that you are finally home where you belong."

"of course I'll come Neil, we will arrive in about a week. but for now, you must return to Groza, before you are missed." Neil and I hugged once more, and then he stepped through the portal that the hologram had become, and was gone. I turned and looked at my family once more, and smiled. "all will be explained, but first we must decide from where I should start."

Wally opened his mouth once more, and gave the answer I had asked for an hour ago "we would like you to start from when you returned from the mission you had to the future."

"than let us get started..."
