Okay, so this is the last chapter I'm doing for West Family Traditions! I know there were a heap of other traditions I could have included, but I thought that this was the most appropriate way to end this work. I really hope you enjoy it. Thanks for all the support from everyone as I was writing this, and thank you to all who have read it. You guys inspire me to write! :)

Number 13: As a new family, you must educate your children on the West Family Traditions, and maybe, you can also make some new Family Traditions too.

For once in her life, Artemis could say that she was content.

Somehow, for some unknown reason, she finally had everything she had ever wanted in her life.

It wasn't like her life was perfect or anything, she was a retired hero, and yeah, she wasn't going to lie, she sometimes wanted to be in on the action again. And it wasn't like she didn't have bad days anymore; she was still trying to make her life work. Things still went wrong for her, but nowadays, Artemis felt that she might have finally accomplished something.

She had her family, her beautiful 9-year old children, Iris and Jai. And it wasn't like they didn't freak her out or anything. Artemis spent her first year with them absolutely terrified she would be a horrible parent to them. Add to the fact that they had inherited Wally's speed; she probably had the worst time ever as a new parent. Talk about double trouble.

And the whole speed factor thing did come with its setbacks. Artemis could still remember the scary time when she thought that she would lose Jai forever because of his connection to the speed force. Thankfully, Barry and Wally managed to cure him. It got rid of Jai's speed, but he had other things to compensate (he totally inherited Artemis's combat skills.)

Artemis thought in family life, she couldn't do much better. She got a lovely red-headed daughter who had gotten her eyes and Wally's features, as well as a handsome blonde son who managed to prove himself as a marksmen and combat master, as well as inherit Wally's mouth (hey, one of her kids was bound to get it.)

As of now, Artemis was standing in front of the newly built Hall of Justice with her son and daughter, fully decked out in their respective uniforms (Iris had taken the mantle of Impulse, while Jai was still trying to decide on a name.) Artemis wouldn't allow them to fight crime yet (they were 9, for crying out loud!) but she couldn't stop them from wanting to train.

"Mo-om, can we go in now?" Jai complained.

"We have to wait for your father. We're doing this as a family, remember?" Artemis told him.

"But I wanna see Rachel! She said she was going to be here!" Iris whined.

"Iris! No civilian names while we're in costume, okay?" Artemis scolded.

Rachel was Dick's daughter, and Artemis could only imagine what the new Batman would say if he heard Iris carelessly reveal their secret identity.

There was a whooshing sound, and finally, Artemis's ever-late husband was there, in Flash costume.

"Alright kiddies, who's excited to go inside the Hall of Justice?" Wally called out, enveloping his kids in a huge bear hug.

Artemis supressed a smile at her husband's antics. She had always known that he would be great with kids.

"Daddy! Why are you always late?" Iris asked sternly (well, as sternly as an adorable nine-year-old could.)

"It's a Flash Tradition, Irey. And remember what I told you about traditions?" Wally asked his kids.

They groaned as repeated in unison, "Traditions are the holy customs that hold a family together and at all times, must be followed and kept alive."

Artemis punched Wally on the shoulder, "I still can't believe you made our kids memorize that."

"Traditions mean the world, babe. Now, are we all ready to face the Justice League?" Wally called out excitedly.

The kids cheered and raced each other (Iris would have obviously won if Jai didn't trip her (that's her boy)) to the inside if the Hall. It was late, and there were no civilians around.

Upon entering the Hall, Artemis and her family were greeted by everyone from the younger, new Team to the older League. Retired heroes and active ones together, all at once. It was probably the best reunion Artemis had ever been to.

She made a beeline for Dick and Zatanna, and obviously, Iris started talking to their daughter, Rachel.

"I'm surprised you guys actually made it," Zatanna said, laughing.

"Are we the last here?" Artemis asked.

"Naturally. Clark was waiting for you so he could do his boring induction speech for the new recruits," Dick answered.

Almost as soon as he said it, Clark walked over to the podium and began to address the crowd.

"Superheroes, heroes, friends, we are here today…"

Artemis did her usual thing of completely zoning out as Clark rambled on (she wasn't exactly known for her attention to detail.) Instead, she just took a few minutes to reflect on how her life had turned out.

She had wonderful kids, a lovable husband, a steady job. Everything she wanted in life, but thought she didn't deserve, thought she'd never get. Her life was far from perfect of course, the world was still in danger, and she still worried about the lives of her friends and family. Things still went wrong for her, but somehow, she knew that she would be able to get through it.

Who would have thought that falling down the rabbit hole when she was fifteen was probably the best decision she had ever made?

Artemis looked around her; most of the people still had their attention on Clark. She looked at her family, saw the glazed look on the eyes of her children and Wally, so she bent down and gathered them close together.

"Alright, remember how we were discussing traditions earlier on? Well, I have a new tradition that were going to be following?" Artemis told them.

"A new tradition?" Jai asked warily.

"Uh-huh. It's called Crock-West Tradition Number 1: When at a boring League conference, the Crock-West family must make enough of a distraction so they can slip out unnoticed."

Her kids looked at her, wide-eyed, while Wally laughed quietly gave her a quick kiss, "And this kids, is why I married your mother."

Artemis winked back at him, and then quickly gave her family a detailed plan of what to do.

"Executing plan in three… two… one…"

So that was it! I know this chapter didn't have much humour, but I thought it would be he best way to end it. I hope you guys enjoyed reading it, because I definitely enjoyed writing it. If you like what you've read here and want to read more, check out my other series, Maid Of Wayne Manor (yes, I totally just plugged another one of my fics on this one. I'm sorry.)

Anyway, thank you!
