After a few minutes, Robin and Bluejay broke their embrace to contact the Team and the League about their disappearances.

Before they did so, however, Doctor Fate called them over.

"I believe that whoever your enemy was, he wasn't human." He rumbled, his golden –clad hand gesturing the limp form of Grim Reaper.

Angel stepped forward, both curiosity and fear gnawing at her. Whatever Nabu was talking about certainly had a link with the villain's face.

She crouched down, her hand trembling as she reached forward. She shuddered slightly as her fingers came into contact with the thick, ripped up material of his cloak, but pulled it backwards all the same.

She gave a cry of horror and practically leaped back, her wings snapping ou and her feathers ruffling.

It was horrible. His skin was a pale blue, wrinkled and stretched tight over the face. Multiple scars crisscrossed over it, mutating the already ugly features. He had no eyes, instead having empty sockets which the skin reached into, and his mouth was nearly a slit. His nose was crushed, with small holes serving as nostrils.

Add that all together, and you got a very frightening image.

Angel felt her stomach turn and resisted the urge to retch. Glancing at Robin, she could tell that he felt the same as he stared at the figure in shock.

Nabu seemed unmoved, but that was usual for him.

"You should contact the Team and Batman," He told them in a monotone voice. "I shall do the same with the League. They can dispose of the bodies."

Angel glanced at Jack's still body, a wave of grief plunging through her.

"But I believe you might want this," Fate added suddenly, causing her to glance back at him.

He tossed something to her, and she automatically caught it. Looking down, she felt her throat tighten.

In her hands was a smooth wooden staff, still warm from when Jack had held it. She could even see the smooth grooves in the wood where he had used it so often that the material had become worn.

"Thank you." She whispered, her voice barely audible.

Robin took her free hand in his and squeezed. She looked at him and smiled sadly.

A few minutes later, Robin was wincing as Nightwing shouted into his ear.

Bluejay could tell that it was the Boy Wonder's adoptive older brother, even from here, and she felt a small thrill of sadness as she recalled when her older sister used to do the same when she stayed out late.

She would still grieve, but she had a new family now… And she had Robin.

Doctor Fate seemed to be having more luck with the Justice League. She could just hear him talking quietly to someone, but his voice was too low for her to discern any words.

"Well, he's almost here." Robin piped up fake-enthusiastically, his grin rueful.

Angel rolled her eyes and hugged him. It felt nice to just hold him, and not worry about anything. His arms wrapped around her, and rested his chin on the crown of her head.

From the contented sigh that emerged from him, she guessed that he felt the same.

"Well, this has been a heck of a day." She mumbled against his chest.

As he chuckled, she felt the vibrations rumble through him, resonating in his chest and hugged him tighter.

"Just promise me this," Robin said suddenly.

"Anything." The answer surprised her, but she felt that it was true. She would die for this boy if she had to.

"Don't ever scare me like that again."

It was Angel's turn to laugh quietly, and she reached up on her toes to give him a quick peck on the lips.

She blushed slightly as she did so, but Robin seemed to enjoy it.

She snuggled closer into his chest, and murmured, "Promise."

He kissed the top of her head, and whispered her name against her hair.

She felt a shiver of pleasure go through her, and she felt him smile against her head.

"The League has been informed of what happened," Fate said as he walked over to them, causing the two to break apart, their faces red.

"Nightwing and Kid Flash are on their way as well." Robin said.

Angel sighed. "We have a lot of explaining to do."

By the time the two heroes had arrived, scolded Robin, thanked Nabu and told Angel how relieved they were that she was alright, all five of them were exhausted.

Angel was on the verge of collapsing, causing Wally to quickly pick her up, proclaiming she was as light as a feather.

Nightwing just rolled his eyes, while Robin smiled ruefully.

In a matter of minutes, they were in the bioship and headed home.

"The Justice League will examine Grim Reaper's body, while Jack Everly will receive a proper funeral," Nightwing continued, summing up what would happen later.

Angel just nodded tiredly before closing her eyes and leaning against the seat. Despite being dead for little more than twenty-four hours, she was exhausted.

Soon, she was fast asleep.

Robin kept shooting her half-anxious looks, as if expecting her to disappear any second. Nightwing smiled at Tim's concern. He could guess what had happened between the two.

And as usual, Wally continued to speed-talk to nobody, as everyone was ignoring him.

Yeah, short chapter, and the second-to-last! But don't worry, I've got a sequel all planned out *huge grin*. To get you guys hyped, I'm just saying that a whole lot of the Team gets cursed…

And WHAT? YJ IS GOING ON HIATUS? UNTIL SEPTEMBER? NO!
