Okay this is short and not all that good, but it is all I have for now. I want to finish the story before I post any more so until then I might post a few bits of Fluff but nothing Cannon. Sorry and thank you for being patient.
I don't own Young Justice.

Faye watched as Nightwing faded from the holo-screen. Mal was the first to break, swearing as the others stood in shock. Faye turned and left. She couldn't face them, she couldn't do this. "Mama?"
"Colin, I…"
"Is the team back yet?" Faye just stared. "Kendra says everyone is sad, why is everyone sad?" Faye broke. How was she going to tell them? "Mama?" Colin watched his mother shatter, he had never seen her cry like this, never seen her so…Broken. "Mama?"
"Oh sweetheart, I'm sorry I just…"
"Mama?" Colin glances at Kendra.
"Kendra, help." Colin reaches out and pulls on his mother's arm.
"Okay." Faye floats slightly and Colin pulls her into their room. "Mama?"
"Oh my babies." Faye clings to the two of them, floating them over to her and wrapping them in her arms. "Artemis was hurt, and she isn't coming back."
"Mama?" Kendra is watching with watery eyes as Faye clings to her and her brother.
"Where is she going?"
"Somewhere safe."
"And she can't every come back."
"No." A sob.
"But she will be safe? And happy?"
"Yes." Faye smiles through her tears. "Yes, she will be safe and happy."
"Okay." A nod. Colin blinks away tears. Kendra doesn't bother. "As long as she's happy, what about Wally?" Faye shatters again.
"We have to help him alright? He will miss her."
"Can he follow her?"
"Not yet, one day but not yet."
"Why not?"
"Because she's going somewhere you can't follow, not until it's your time to go."
"Oh." A frown. "Like Heaven?"
"Who…?"
"Granma Kent."
"Exactly like Heaven." They both nod. They decide to help their mother too. And the team. And Uncle Ollie. They would help everybody they could. "Now what are you two doing up?"
"Kendra heard load voices and woke me up and then we came looking for you and."
"Well back to bed, it is very late, or more realistically very early."
"Okay." Being good seemed wise. They could help everybody later.

Kendra sat with Oliver and Colin sat with Wally. Both were watching the Team and their mum for sings of tears, but the two men needed them more. Oliver gripped her hand tighter. Kendra gripped back, glad she didn't have super-strength. "It will be okay, she's safe now." Colin was muttering to Wally who flinched. Kendra narrowed her eyes at him.
"Kendra?" Kendra looked up at Oliver. "Don't you need to…" Kendra shook her head and smiled.
"I am needed here like Colin is needed there." She pointed at her brother. "And mum is needed there." Faye was standing with the team, holding M'gaan.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." A firm nod. Then a soft smile. "You know she's somewhere safe now." A glance at the holographic statue. "Somewhere happy." Oliver's eyes misted.
"Yeah." A tremulous smile. "She is isn't she." Kendra reached out to the man who bundled the little girl up and sobbed. Kendra glanced at her brother. Wally wasn't acting right, something was off. Kendra made a note to talk to Colin about it.
Colin glanced over at Kendra and Ollie. At least the older archer was grieving. Wally wasn't and it worried him. Why was the boy acting more worried then sad? He was angry and frustrated more than upset and he kept glaring at Nightwing. The bat wasn't acting right either. Everyone else was grieving, why weren't the two teens? He would have to talk to Kendra.
Thanks for reading.
