Chapter 29: Letters

Location: Valley Base-Cemetery

"And today on August 16, 20XX, we say good bye to Bruce Wayne, after his ten year battle against Cold Agglutinin Disease," the priest said to the crowd.

"This can't be happening," Diana murmured, as she watched Wally, Helena, and Shayera stand by the casket as it was lowered into the ground.

"This wasn't suppose to happen like this," Zatanna (Zatanna Zatara) said.

"What is that thing that Dr. Fate always said...oh, yes. Fate is never written in stone," Metamorpho (Rex Mason) said.

"But some are foretold in the stars," Zatanna said, "And this was not."

Location: Everest-Underground City-Wally's Office

Shayera watched the screen in a daze as the men cleaned out Bruce's office from her place at the virtual window. He hadn't used it in months, but he hadn't wanted anyone in there to touch anything. Shayera turned her head to see Helena and Harley seating on the small couch, and Wally was at his desk. They were all quiet, each with their own thoughts. A little while later, on of the men who were cleaning out the office came to the door.

"Is there anything else," Shayera asked.

"Yes," one of the men said, pulling out a large yellow envelope and handing it to Wally, "He asked that these letters behind to be delivered."

"Okay," Wally said, and opened the yellow envelope in his lap. He looked through the letters before handing four letters to Helena and one to Harley.

"Take this to the heroes, please," Wally said to Helena.

"I don't know why you call them heroes," Helena said, taking the letters.

"Just go," Shayera said, and rolled Wally toward his office.

"Right away, Madam," Helena said, before leaving the room.

"Take this to Talia," Wally said to Harley, handing her a letter.

"I'd rather go on a mission," Harley said, taking the letter and leaving the room.

"Who are those two for," Shayera asked, seeing two letters left on the desk.

"Who do you think," Wally said, holding up one of the letter to show her name written across the front of the envelope.

~JUSTICE LEAGUE~

Location: Everest-Underground City-Barracks-Lounge

"Mail call," Helena said, as she entered the barrack lounge, "One for Dick." She handed Dick a letter. "One for the League Fakes." She handed the letter to Superman. "And one for Wonder Woman," She walked to Diana and handed the letter to her.

"Which leaves one for..." Helena trailed off shocked looking at the letter, "me."

Helena didn't stay long after that. She headed to her room on the lower section of the base. The entire time we mind was reeling. Bruce and her had said their goodbyes a while ago in case anything were to happen, and lately he had been talking only about get Dick back, she had thought that even if he was writing letters he wouldn't wrote her one.

Getting to her room, Helena sat on her couch and opened the letter.

Dear Helena,

My daughter...I still can't get over saying that. You are everything I ever wanted in a child and more. Somehow, I was given a child that gives me hope. And even though you sometimes given me heartache, I would never change you.

I hope you never lose your fighting spirit. It is the one thing that can never be taken from you. And I hope you learn to do the one thing I failed to do. Open up to people. I have lived my life in the shadow and while it has brought me many joys; it have also taken a fair share of pain.

And don't give the Justice League too hard of a time. I'm positive that everything isn't how you are thinking it is.

Goodbye, my daughter. I hope to see you again. But not too soon.

Your Father

Bruce

Teardrops fell onto the letter. Helena was in a moment of conflict. She was not sure what she was feeling. She was sad that her father was gone, but she was glad that he was proud of me. And she was also confused. He wanted her to go easy on those monsters. And she was-

"Helena," she heard. Looking up she saw Vic in the doorway of her-now, their quarters. Vic walked over to her and knelt down; and before he could say anything, Helena wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his chest.
