Flying No More

Damian

A/N:  I know that I haven't done Wally or Roy yet, but they will come later.  I also know that Damian is not in Young Justice, but I feel that it is appropriate to put him in.

I walk up to the coffin, I know I'm late, I was barely able to get out of the house with my head.  Ra's was yelling at me for not killing that person that was doing some drug dealing and.... yeah anyway.  Luckily Mother was kind and sympathetic enough to let me come to Grayson's funeral.

Grayson.  I can't believe he did this.  

I near the coffin, where Father has his hand on the shoulder of a slim looking 15 year old blonde girl.

"What's the assassin doing here?" the girl sniffs.  Her name is Artemis Crock I think.  Crock.  What a ridiculous name.

Without meeting her eyes, I walk up and stand beside her and look at the lifeless body in front of me,"I'm here to mourn the loss of a life.  My brother's life.  What are you doing here Crock?"

"I'm... doing the same," she looks surprised and breaks into tears again,"You are so lucky to have such a brave boy as a brother."

I hide my tears and I feel my face soften,"Yeah, I am."

I look at the body again.  Dick is not dressed in the traditional clothes that a you would wear to a funeral.  He was wearing a short sleeved black shirt that showed his muscles perfectly, his blazing blue eyes were shut, and his jeans were casual.

"You know Grayson," his team stares at me and looks at me expectantly, Father looks down over Crock's head and looks at me, tears staining his eyes, I continue,"You know, that was an incredibly stupid thing to do.  You can't just jump down and not look behind you!  You know the rules, you shouldn't have been so stupid.  So dumb."

"He wasn't dumb!" Conner Kent shouts.

I shut him up with a glare,"But, Grayson, I still believe you did that on purpose.  I don't know why though.  Was one of your teammates in trouble or something?  You're never that careless.  And for the record, I want to say something I've never told you before...  something you always tell me... though I always take it for granted..."

Why is everyone looking at me strangely?

"I love you."

And with that tears stream from my eyes and I run away.

I can almost hear Dick's voice in my head, I love you too, Dami.
