So a while back (about three and a half months ago, but who's counting, right? xP) I wrote the first chapter for this... and the next day, I got a review asking me to write a second chapter by Artemis Raven Courtney. The specific review: "Adorable! Can you make this a two-shot, with Dick reading Bruce's letter to Santa and confronting him about it?" Now, I'll admit that I tend not to do extensions on things, but as the first chapter/letter was so short, and the request was fairly simple, I decided to begin writing it a few weeks later. I got the first paragraph done before stopping, and I finally told myself to finish it up today. So here it is! To:

everyone who reviewed, favorited, and followed - Thanks so much, guys! It's always heartwarming to get a response, and it was extra special so close to Christmas.

Artemis Raven Courtney - I know this is late, and for that I'm sorry. This is also not exactly a confrontation from Dick to Bruce, but rather Dick doing something about Bruce's letter. I hope it suffices. :) Thanks so much for the review and request, and this chapter is for you!

I do not own Young Justice, nor Santa Claus. No characters have been emotionally injured in the writing of this two-shot.

Dedicated to Artemis Raven Courtney. I do hope you enjoy!

Letter For Santa: A Response

Hi, Santa,

So I know that you know me and that you've probably already received my other letter, but this is important. Bruce read my first letter, and he wrote you one of his own. Now, if Bruce was any normal dad, I'd be fine with that… who cares, right? I'm nine… I don't care. But Bruce is Bruce, and you know what that means. Don't listen to him, please. Like I said, I'm nine, but I'm not an idiot.

If I get my parents back, but don't get to still see Bruce, then it'll be just as bad. I know, I've known him for less time than I have my parents, but the thing is… I would rather stay his ward than be adopted by someone else, and I didn't literally mean I want my parents back. I mean, I do, that would be awesome, but when I wrote my first letter I wasn't asking for them to be brought back to life.

Alfred told me a while ago that when people die, it must be for a reason, something important, and that for me that reason must have been meeting Bruce and becoming Robin. He said that by dying, my parents have saved every person that I will ever save, and that when people thank me… thank Robin… that they are also thanking my parents. I liked the sound of that then, and I still like the sound of it now. My parents are superheroes.

Alfred also told me about Bruce's letter, and that I should write another one to really explain what I meant before, so I'm beginning to think that everything Alfred says is required to be smart. Did you give him that, Santa? Did Alfred ask for a smart brain one Christmas? … sorry, Santa, I'm getting off topic.

I don't literally want my parents. I want them… I think Alfred said something like figratively? I think… oh, Alfred says it's fig-U-ratively. I want something to remind me of them. And I want Bruce to stay with me forever. He's not my dad, but he's Bruce. That's enough for me. And can you tell him that, too?

In case it's not clear, these are the things I want for Christmas:

- something to remind me of my parents (I want them figuratively, not literally)

- Bruce to stay with me forever (the forever is important, Santa)

- Bruce to know that he's good enough for me just being Bruce

Thanks, Santa,

Dick Grayson (son of Mary and John Grayson, but ward of Bruce Wayne)

P.S. Alfred says to say Happy Christmas, so Merry Christmas!

I hope that this was satisfactory! And please review, guys, feed the hungry author! ;)
