Aries3434- I've tried to update everyday but (obviously) that doesn't work out sometimes. So I try to not make you guys wait too long.

Note- There's not many chapters left.

Chapter 29

"Okay, why is that so bad?" Artemis asked Roy, confused about how it was a bad thing to kill the villain.

Roy sighed. "Because if you kill the first vampire, the rest of the vampires will follow."

The team stiffened. So if Robin killed Lucifer, he and the rest would-

"So you're all going to die?" Superboy asked, unfamiliar feelings swelling within his heart.

Roy shrugged. "Dick had a theory on that. He said that because the ancient tomb wall's said that the vampires would die, there's a chance that Barbara, Beth and I will go back to being human."

"Because you're half human right?" M'gann said, her theory confirmed with Roy's nod.

"Then what about Robin?" Kid Flash asked him, his face tense with worry.

Roy turned his head, avoiding their eyes. "Since he's a full vampire . . . it's most likely he'll . . . "

"Die," Beth tearfully finished for him, her face leaning against Bruce's left shoulder.

"Then why are we standing around here? If we hurry, we can stop-" Kid Flash started to say but was interrupted by Bruce who was in Batman mode.

"If we stop him, we'll either have three dead heroes on our hands or a vampire who can now turn people into full vampires."

"But we just can't-" Aqualad started but was interrupted by Beth.

"Onii-chan is doing what he think is right. He's protecting us . . . "

Artemis snorted. "Like we need protecting."

Barbara gave her a hard, cold stare. "From Lucifer, yes. He's more dangerous than you could ever imagine."

"I seen worse," Artemis scoffed which caused Bruce to give her the Bat-Glare.

"All you have seen of him is one little memory, correct?"

The team slowly nodded at Bruce's question, wondering how he knew.

"Then you haven't seen anything."

"Batman, how would you know?" Aqualad asked him, unaware how . . . disrespectful his question sounded.

Bruce's glare heightened. "It's none of your concern."

Kid Flash shifted underneath his glare. "So . . . what do we do?"

"We wait."

_Dick's POV_

He could hear the conversation his friends were having through Beth's mind. He was relieved to hear that they were going to wait and not get involved in his fight.

Yes, HIS fight.

Onii-chan?

Dick smiled softly as he heard his sister's voice in his mind. Yes?

. . . Do you have to?

Dick's smile turned sour, sadness etched on his face. Yes. If I don't, he'll either be able to get the pendant or kill the Justice League.

I know . . . Onii-chan?

Yes?

. . . I love you.

Dick's smile returned with a hint of sadness and dread. I love you too, Beth. Take of Bruce for me, okay?

Okay, Onii-chan . . . Is there a chance you'll survive?

I don't know, Beth, I just don't know.

A/N- I decided that Dick and Beth needed their adorable sibling moment. :) Please review! This was published on 3-12-12 with the length of 622 words.
