Chapter Fourteen:

Year Four:

November 11th

Wally West's Birthday.

"Happy birthday to YOU!" Artemis sang as she set the cake down on the table in front of Wally.

Wally smiled and kissed Artemis softly on the cheek, "Thanks babe. I love you."

Artemis smiled, "I love you too, now make a wish."

Wally leaned down and blew out his candles, "Done."

"So what you'd wish for?" Artemis asked as she dug out a knife.

Wally shook his head, "I can't tell you."

Artemis pointed the knife at him, "Well, just a warning, you better not have wished for another girlfriend. Or this knife might just find you in your sleep."

Wally laughed, "No way Artemis. I would never."

Artemis cut a slice of cake, "Good," She handed it over to Wally, "Happy birthday," She kissed him.

Wally hugged Artemis, "This is the best birthday ever."

Artemis smiled, "I'm glad."

M'gann was sitting in her room wrapping up a box, Wally's birthday present, she planned to mail it to him later when there was knock at her door. "Come in."

The door opened and Beast Boy walked in, "Hey sis!"

M'gann smiled, "Hey Gar."

Beast Boy walked over and hopped onto M'gann's bed, "Is that for me?"

M'gann shook her head, "No, it's for Wally, today is his birthday."

Beast Boy nodded, "Ah," He rolled over on his stomach and watched and M'gann taped down a fold of the wrapping paper, "hey, sis? Do you know why Artemis and Wally left the team?"

M'gann sighed and looked at Beast Boy, "No not really Gar. I mean I guess it's because they found each other and they just couldn't be together if they had to fight bad guys."

Beast Boy nodded, "Uh ok. So why didn't you and Super boy leave long ago. You to were always so happy when you came to visit my mom and me."

M'gann stopped wrapping and looked at her brother, "I'm not sure Gar, I don't think we were sure either," And then she looked down at her box, "I'm going to go mail this. See you later Gar."

M'gann stood up and tucked the box under her arm, and turned and walked out of her room. Leaving Gar all alone.

Zatanna sighed, "Okay I'm bored."

Rocket stuck out her tongue, "I am too."

Zatanna rolled over on her bed, "I hate this. I hate the league won't let us do anything yet. I mean we get to do nothing, or clean up."

Rocket nodded, "Yea. I mean I'm a hero, not a janitor!"

Zatanna shook her head, "And from what Nightwing tells me they aren't having much more luck at home."

Rocket sat up on the sofa and pulled her knees to her chest, "I know. I call looking for Kaldur. I can't believe..." She trailed off and looked away.

Zatanna sat up and got off the bed, "I know," She whispered putting her hand on Rocket's shoulder, "It's shocking to all of us."

Rocket shook her head, "I once believe us, the team, would be together forever. One happy family. And then we left. Kaldur left. Artemis and Wally left. I guess forever isn't that long."

Zatanna sat down on the sofa beside Rocket, "I thought that too. I left because what I believed was starting to fall from under me."

Rocket sighed, "Sometimes I sit up at night and look out my window down at Earth and just wish I could wake up tomorrow and wake up in the cave laughing as M'gann makes breakfast. Smiling as I take Robin, Nightwing, down in training for the millionth time. And cheering as we all come home sweaty and tired from another great mission."

Zatanna nodded, "I wish that too Rocket. I want it to be that New Year all over again. All over."

Rocket sighed, "But that's not going to happen. Not now not ever."

Zatanna bent her head down, "I know, but sometimes it is nice to dream."

Nightwing was locked up in his room, running some research. He wanted to know more about the new heroes who had joined his team. He searched all their back stories and how they had become heroes. He searched their parents, friends, and past schools.

He wanted to know all.

And when he finished he looked up at the room. Newspaper clippings hug on the wall events that had once mattered.

Pictures, of him, Zatanna, the team. His mom and dad.

Nightwing sighed, it felt weird to be able to sit in room and work and not have Zatanna come in.

Nightwing stood up and walked around the room, once, twice, three times. What else could he do. Go see Wally? Nope, he had already done that for his best friend's birthday. He even had dropped off a gift with that, an old picture he had found of the first time they had met. Then he had left, because Wally was moving on.

Moving on.

Like everyone else.

Nightwing sighed and sat down on his bed, "What are we if we aren't a team?" He asked the walls.

Conner was out is the forest just outside the cave with Wolf. "Go fetch boy!" He cried as he tossed and stick. Wolf barked happily and turned and chased after it.

Conner sighed and leaned against a tree.

And a few seconds later Wolf came running back and dropped the stick at Conner's feet. Conner smiled and rubbed the big white dog in his head, "Good boy."

Wolf barked and rubbed up against Conner.

Conner smiled, "At lest you will always be there for me Wolf."

Wolf turned his head at Conner.

Conner rubbed his ear, "She doesn't want me anymore Wolf. She hates me. And I guess she wants me to beg for her, but I'm not going to, it's her fault."

Wolf poked Conner with his nose.

Conner sighed, "I'm not going to say sorry. It's her fault. She went digging in my HEAD!"

Wolf whined and laid down on the ground.

Conner frowned, "What? Don't look at me like that just because you love her. I used to, too. Just not anymore."

Wolf rolled over and looked at Conner.

Conner sighed, "Fine," He bent down and rubbed Wolf's belly, "Nice talk there buddy."

Wolf thumped his tail and barked.

Conner shook his head, "Crazy dog."

Wolf rolled back over and jumped at Conner.

Conner laughed, "Fine! Fine! Fetch!" He tossed the stick.

Wolf barked and turned and ran after.

Conner sighed, "At lest I will always have my dog."

Author's Note: First off, any weird sound sentences in the story are because I'm sick. YAY. I feel like that is all I am. Ill, blah.

BUT MOVING ON

Young Justice Invasion Episode 19: Summit

Let's just say, this show likes fake killing people.

I was almost in tears when Artemis and Kaldur were dead.

Then of course Death stroke turned out to be M'gann. (So where's the rweal Death stroke?)And then BOOM! The light was planning to take down the Reach the whole time and framed the League.

And then BOOM

The TEAM (Or most of them.)

And then the brain shuts the stupid things and opens the hole in the cave. The ninja things are given the order to kill everyone of them though Conner might be a problem.

And then Kaldur talks and tells the Reach and The Light that they totally underestimate the team.

BOOM

Some of the ninja's rip off their mask. And there is the whole team.

At this point I was like freaking out.

And the big fight starts happening.

La'gaan saves M'gann. (Frowning.) But they quickly go in different ways.

Wally bumps into Artemis. (WALLY YOU ARE BACK!) And He tells her he would so like to kiss her, or kill her. WALLY AND ARTEMIS ARE GOOD AND ARTEMIS CAN GO HOME!

But anyway. They fight and Savage gets away. The Reach tries to run but Blue Beetle pins dude and the lady. They scream for help and Black Beetle comes and leaves guy, saying you messed up to much I don't have to take your orders. But she may have some use. They flee.

The evil wizard guy, (The great one) is stabbed.

Kaldur faces his dad and it's really sad, because you can see Kaldur had always hoped that maybe when this moment came around his dad would change sides.

Impulse and Wally talk and Wally says that Impulse needs to take over the family business. Impulse is super excited about this. And they beat the brain.

The fight is soon over.

Beast Boy hugs Artemis and Artemis is like, "What was that for?"

"I'm just really glad you aren't dead! And that you aren't a traitor," He said looking at Kaldur. Then of course Gar turns to Nightwing and says, "No more fake killing anyone for at lest a year!" Wally's like, "I second that."

Of course you do Wally.

Also they caught everything on tape using Artemis's charm. So... THE LEAGUE CAN COME HOME!

Skip scenes.

A boom tube opens and Black Canary is like "Was that a boom tube?" Yes. It was.

Savage beats up the league who is guarding the key chamber of the War World. And they are boomed tube to the Justice League tower, where Nightwing is handing leadership of the team back to Kaldur. (Who is back in his normal outfit.) Glad to have that monkey off his back.

And then the War World turns and leaves Earth. Good or Bad thing?

Black Beetle and The Reach Lady are upset because they are being kicked off Earth and that means the Green Lantern Core is out to get them,

And the episode ends with Black Beetle saying he is going to destroy Earth.

Yay...

Next weekend is the season Finale.

And it actually looks like they could have a really good season finale. I mean, really good. YAY.
