"We gather here today, to say goodbye to our loving hero and friend, Roy Harper." The priest said as I laid my head on my Aunt Megan's shoulder and started crying.

I sat next to Uncle Bruce, Uncle Clark, William Fowler, Aunt Megan, Aunt Artemis, and Uncle Dick. Uncle Dick rubbed my arm, confronting me as I cried out.

"I believe Roy's daughter, Emily, would like to say something." The priest finished as I stood with Uncle Dick and walked to the front of the church.

"Um...I was expecting to be going to Haiti with Dad today for my darn vacation." I said as the crowd laughed a little.

"But, um, I loved my Dad. He always did take care of me. Him and Mom. When I heard from Dad that my Mom died, I was devastated. Every year, I always visit my mom's grave for either her birthday, mother's day, or her anniversary of her death. Now that Dad's gone too, I have now 2 graves to visit every year. Hopefully, I won't have to visit more." I said as I heard a lot of mutters like 'Can't make any promises' or 'I feel bad for the poor girl'.

"Anyone else has anything to say?? Speak now or forever hold your peace." The priest said as Uncle Bruce stood up and walked up front.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I didn't talk to anyone after the mass. I sat in the limo with Agent Fowler while his driver rode it.

"Emily, your uncle wanted me to give this to you." Fowler said as he handed me as tiny brown paper bag.

"What is it??"

"See for yourself." He said with a sad smile.

I then opened the bag and pulled out a 30K ring.

"Who's ring is this??"

"It's yours now. It was suppose to be your mom's wedding ring, but she died before he could give it to her. Then while Roy was dying, he gave the bag to Bruce then to me and told me to give it to you." He stated as I looked at the ring.

"It's also a wireless hologram computer created by myself, Bruce, and Zatanna helped put it in the ring." He said as I looked at him and smiled.

"Thanks, Fowle..."

RINGGGG!!!

I pulled out my phone and saw who it was and gasped.

Incoming call: Optimus

"One second. Hey, Prime."

"Emily, where is Agent Fowler??"

"He's right here." I said as I passed the phone to Fowler.

"Agent Fowler??...Prime, I'm with Emily at a funeral...Where is he??...Okay, be there in 30." Fowler said as he hung up.

"We need to leave after the burial." He said as I nodded.

I sat back and looked out the foggy window at the same cementery my mom was buried in.
