A/N: Remember when I said my muse had given me that new idea? Yeah well she forgot to tell me what went after. Strike that, she simply abandoned me. I tried to convince her but she wasn't having it! And then sudden BAM! She decided to stop procrastinating and voila!
I now know where I'm going with this story... I think.
Haha, onto reading you guys go!

A lone man clutched at his wife with an incredible sorrow in his eyes.
"No," his voice was broken "Laura, no. I'm so sorry. "
"Shhhh, my love." Her voice was weak and fragile and she squeezed the man's hand in her own "It's not your fault." Blood ran down her lip and she shuddered as she took a painful breath.
Blinking tears away from her eyes, she rasped "Take care of Mia, her dad -you - are all she has left"
The man shook his head desperately; his shaking hand combed through Laura's hair "Don't talk like that. You're gonna make it."
He spoke with a fierce tone and stubbornness in his voice. "The medics are on their way, you are not dying on me. Your promised remember?" The man whispered. "Your promised we would be together forever." There was such tender raw emotion in his voice; finally, a tear slipped down his cheek.
Laura coughed feebly "We will..." She smiled "In your heart."
Sad tears trickled down her face "Tell Mia I love her." Her grip on the man hand began to slacken. The loud sirens of ambulanced echoed in the background
"Don't do this me," The man pleaded "Laura please..."
"I love you" Her voice was soft; her eyes, glassy.
The man stared at her in grief "Please stay with me"
Her hand went limp and landed at her side - lifeless.
The man buried his head in his lover's hair and weeped. Why?
They had their life planned out, a precious baby girl. Life was looking up for them. And now...
A few minutes later, hurried paramedics entered. What they found was a broken man holding the tattered and bloodied form of his wife; their 10 month old baby lay asleep in the adjacent room - safe and unaware that her life was crumbling down to pieces.
The man lifted his tear-streaked face and a nasty expression replaced his broken one.
Whoever had taken his wife away from him...
Whoever had left his child motherless...
Whoever had killed his beautiful, kind hearted wife...
They were going to pay.

The covert teenage team made up of Justice League partners sat in their base: Mount Justice.
All 6 members were present but not all them were well behaved. As they waited to be given their mission, some were more mature than others.
The latter could be described as the resident yellow kid-mouth speedster and emerald, goddess of the hunt archer. Currently, they were in the process of seeing who was better at coming up with the better insults for the other. Or something like that.
The rest of the team watched in amusement... Some more subtly than others.
Aqualad for example would just give a faint smile at their bickering while Superboy just smirked. M'gann smiled naively and Robin...
Well let's just say he wasn't very supportive of his best friend.
(i.e.: "Bwahahaha! She just asterously humiliated you dude!")
Anyway, the epic showdown was on:
"Girl-crazy, hormonal and flea infested monkey!" At this, Superboy grunted and Robin burst out laughing.
"Yeah?! Well you're a bad tempered, farty... Uh... Er... Archer!"
Robin stared incredulously before facepalming "Smooth Wally, Real smooth."
"Frizzy mouth!"
"Blonde Ponytail girl!"
Robin decided to begin doing commentary "Ooo, did he just imply she was a dumb blonde?" Then, in a preppy girl voice "Oh no, he didn't!"
Artemis whipped her ponytail grouchily "Infuriating Beachboy!"
"Artie has some big words! Looks like someone's been paying attention in English class!"
"Crazy feminist!"
"Well our resident archer does do a good job of holding up the female gender" At Artemis's dark look, Robin laughed and held his hands up in mock surrender "In a good way, I mean"
She gave hmph, before continuing "At least I think before I speak!"
"Alas, the goddess thinks!"
Wally scrunched his nose "At least I'm not afraid to speak my mind!"
"Nope Walls, you're definitely not."
"At least I'm not a flirt who trips over their own feet"
"You know Wally, she has a point"
"First of all, HEY! And second of all, she does not Rob!"
"Denial isn't healthy for youuuu. You know, we should get a motto. "KEEP CALM AND GET IN RENIAL!'"
Everone became silent and turned to stare at Robin who simply shrugged. "I can get us t-shirts that say that"
Rolling her eyes, Artemis smirked when an idea hit her. She'd hit Wally where it hurt the most.
...
In a FIGURATIVE sense! No wait! Not that way! Ewwwww.
Anyhow, "Annoying Nacho Worshiper!"
"Not the nachos!" Robin cried
Wally opened his mouth to attempt and defend his most prized food, but was cut off by a deep voice.
"Mission Briefing in 5"
Pouting, he glared at Artemis "This is not over yet!" He declared.
Everyone else just got up at looked at Wally with amusement. Together, they all headed to the mission room.
No one could've possibly imagined what was was going to happen next. No one knew that this could possibly be their last time together as a full happy team.
But then again, how could they?
