Chapter 5
"Hey, Kid Flash," Artemis called out from her spot in a chair in the living room.
Kid Flash kept flashing around the kitchen, ignoring her voice.
I don't want to get involved . . . I don't want to have to lie even more!
Artemis glared at Kid Flash's back. "Hey, doofus, are you even listening?"
No. Kid Flash thought to himself as he made another sandwich and tried to focus on the song's lyrics.
Oh, dear Mother, I love you.
I'm sorry. I wasn't good enough.
Dear Father, forgive me because in your eyes, I just never added up.
In my heart, I know I failed you.
But you left me here alone.
Kid Flash grimaced at the last line. Note to self: don't let Robin listen to this song.
If I could hold back the rain, would you numb the pain?
Because I remember everything!
If I could help you forget, would you take my regrets?
Because I remember everything!
"Hey, idiot, are you going to join the conversation or what?" Artemis asked, now standing with her hands on her hips.
Kid Flash hold his tongue from answering and bit into his turkey sandwich.
Oh, dear brother, just don't hate me for never standing by you or being by your side.
Dear sister, please don't blame me.
I only did what I thought was truly right.
It's a long and lonely road when you know you walk alone.
Kid Flash's eyes tightened at the last line. It reminded him of what Robin had told him about what had happened to him after his parents died, about how he . . .
If I could hold back the rain, would you numb the pain?
Because I remember everything!
If I could help you forget, would you take my regrets?
Because I remember everything!
"Kid Flash, are you ignoring us?" M'gann asked, unaware that Kid Flash was truly ignoring them.
I feel like running away.
I'm still so far from home.
You say that I'll never change but what the fuck do you know?
I'll burn it all to the ground before I let you run.
Please forgive me.
I can't forgive you now.
I remember everything!
Kid Flash's eyes softened. If only Dick didn't remember his past . . .
If I could hold back the rain, would you numb the pain?
Because I remember everything!
If I could help you forget, would you take my regrets?
Because I remember everything!
It all went by so fast.
I still can't change the past.
I'll always remember everything.
If we could start again again, would that change the end?
We remember everything!
Everything . . .
"That's it. I'm dragging him over here," Artemis exclaimed as she stomped into the kitchen.
I really hope that Dick never listens to this song, Kid Flash thought as he ate the last bite of his sandwich.
Just as he swallowed, Artemis grabbed one of his ears and started to pull when an earbud fell out.
"An earbud? So that's why you weren't answering me!" Artemis growled, secretly wishing that she had brought her IPod.
Kid Flash flashed his innocent eyes. "You were calling me?"
Artemis face-palmed herself. "Never mind. Just follow me, idiot."
Kid Flash did as he was told. Sinking into the chair on the edge of the living room, Kid Flash mentally sighed.
And here enters my secret skill.
Lying.
_Dick's POV_
Dick was currently sitting at his desk, staring at the letter that Batman had "borrowed" from the police. But Dick hadn't opened it yet, it still neatly folded.
. . . There's no way that it says what I think it says . . . Right?
Dick's stare heightened, hoping that it would somehow burst into flames.
It didn't.
Dick sighed, uncrossing his arms and placed his hands on the letter.
There's only one way to find out.
Holding his breath, Dick gently unfolded the letter and scanned it contents. When he was finished, he slammed his right fist on his desk.
I hate this kind of game! He ALWAYS wins!
Discarding the letter, Dick dashed out of his room and headed for Bruce.
As for the letter, it gently floated to the floor with its contents facing upward, reading . . .
Tag, you're it.
