"It doesn't have to be like this!" I rear on my friend for the umpteenth time since I've been here. He's devastated and I know it, but I can't let this go.

"It does, and you know it does. Look, I don't want to have it be this way either, but it has to be done! I would go-" He's broken, his 'bat-face' doesn't work around me, and he knows it. He won't make eye contact and I can feel his regrets thick in the air.

"No, that would not be good for anyone, everyone would know it was all fake. I mean, you can't just kill off a bat-boy." He smiles sadly to the ground, his ink-like hair hiding the fear written on his face.

"Still, it would be more… productive if it was me." Even as the words leave his mouth we both know it's a lie.

"Stop, we don't need to be having this conversation."

"But it's Artemis."

That last sentence hangs in the air, frosty and cold, yet filled with love and protection from both of us.

Artemis.

"I need to go, I want to spend as much time as possible with her before…' My voice trails off but it doesn't need to be voiced. Before we lose her. On a mission that could very likely cost her life.

"And Wally? Think positive. No need to 'feel the mode' or whatever it is."

"Sure Dick." The empty try at humor just makes me feel even more devastated.

My footsteps echo off the walls of the room, making me feel like I've already lost everything. Everything that matters anyway. Think positive he said. Sure. I can do positive. How's 'maybe Artemis will come out of this alive?' Or 'maybe losing her won't ruin my life?' He doesn't know what it's like.

Liar!

Lies. He's the strongest person you've ever met! How could you be so selfish?! His whole family is dead. All of them, taken cruelly from him at the same time. Think positive. How does he do it? Think positive. I feel myself ripping apart on the inside. I can't do it. My friends are against me. Everything could fail. We're supposed to be done! Retired and Nightwing, Dick, Robin, whatever! My best friend ripped that all away. Angry, that's what I am. At him. At Artemis for agreeing. And it's all….

"Two friends with there journals on the driveway, sidewalk chalk made it a long way." The lyrics pop out of nowhere blocking out all other thoughts in my mind, filling me with flashbacks.

"See Wally? We attack from here." Dick points at his notebook with his battle plan all drawn out in light green sidewalk chalk . He looks up at me to make sure I'm getting it, blue eyes bright with pride.

"Great! So who are we attacking?" My voice is high pitched and full of excitement.

"Bruce and Alfred." He stands up to dust off his jeans, half a head shorter than me. I pick up our nerf guns, and we run to the side of the manor.

"Wait! Wally don't leave the chalk! It's a clue!"

Even then he was thinking like a detective. I run over to pick it up, and get showered in a fountain of foam bullets. Bruce appears out of the bushes.

"Game started ten minutes ago Wally. You weren't ready." He pauses.

"Where's Dick?" Right on queue my best friend jumps off the roof of the manor landing right in front of Bruce pulling the trigger on the way down. Bruce easily dodges the bullet, but seems satisfied with Dicks tactic and landing.

"Nice. Except I heard your grappling hook. Try harder."

"Yes Bruce."

He was ten, I was twelve. We both looked forward to these little 'practice missions' with each other, seeing as we never got to work together for real.

"Running around the house it's how they met."

"Your name is Wally right?"The little kid that jumped on top of me cocks his head a little. "Yeah, and yours is Richard."He crinkles his nose."I like Dick better, or Robin."I throw him off of me, he does a cartwheel and lands right in front of my face."Are you fast like the Flash?""Yeah, I guess so.""That's so cool!""You sure talk a lot for being Batman's partner."His nose crinkles again. "Batman's kinda boring.""Oh.""Hey! Can you run, pleeeease?""Um..."Hey gives me puppy dog eyes, how can I resist? "Sure." I stand up and throw the kid on my back, he's surprisingly light. I take off as fast as I can. Tears fill my eyes from the cold and the wind. Dicks little cackle follows us, barely audible. He has his arms around me, but not too tight. I stop after a while being sure to slow down and not just stop. He jumps off my back and grabs my hand to lead me inside, black hair bobbing with every step.

"Chasing bad guys around the corner, wishing that they could be stronger."

He's twelve now, I'm fourteen.

We were playing a video game, mainly to keep Dick's mind of the murder he witnessed the night before.

"Wally?"

"Yeah?"

"You ever feel like you won't measure up to what everyone wants you to be?"

"All the time bro."

He paused the game.

"I was slow, I should have reacted faster."

"It's not your fault. Your not always going to be there on time. Heck, even Flash or Superman can't do that." That sounds stupid to me now, I never should have said it.

"Batman does."

"You're not Batman."

"I will be."

The only sound is the whir of the game consol.

"Dick…" He cuts me off, rage and pain in his voice.

"I'm not strong enough. I wish I could be as strong as he is, and as good."

"Why?"

"Well for one, he's the Batman." We both burst out laughing. I never really thought about that moment again until now.

"Half eaten cookies are left behind, footprints in the ground that they might find"

"Woah woah woah!" I scream as I fall off the top of the manor. Robin catches me before I hit the ground landing us skillfully on a lower level near by.

"Wally! You need to take this seriously!"

"Dude. It's just training."

"Sure. 'Cause THAT'S not important." He flips off , shooting his grappling hook mid spin.

"Hey-!"

"We need to go inside. Now." He disappears inside Wayne Manor not waiting for me to come down.

Somehow I manage to clamber down off the roof. I rush inside to try and find Dick.

"Hey Al! Do you know where-"

"In the kitchen, Master West."

"Thanks!"

I run off right into the kitchen. Dick's over at the counter, two fresh baked cookies in his hands.

"Al made them." Is all he says before sitting down at the island.

Neither of us eat the whole thing.

Fighting with him is stupid and pointless seeing as he's almost always right.

Even about this. It does have to happen like this. The whole world is counting on it and here I am being selfish as always. Even if I do feel like he betrayed me, I have no right to be mad. He is my best friend and all.

Someday I'll have Artemis back, and maybe, just maybe, my best friend will be there too.

"Again some day. Another day."
