One-Shots For The Soul

Just A Thought {REQUEST}

"He wanted me to tell you..."

"No..."

"He loved you..."

-.-

Dick's heart pounded in his ears.He died.He's dead.He's gone.And he would never come back.That's all he knew at that moment.He had heard Barry say something to Artemis.But he just blocked it out.He knew what it was.

"He loved you..."

He loved her.

Not him.

Dick felt tears prickle at his eyes and he felt them fall from his eyes and down onto his cheeks,down his face and pouring off his chin.He knew they would freeze up,but honestly,who cared?

No one.That's who.

Dick felt himself fall onto the icy concrete.He could hear Artemis's sobs from afar,he could also hear Bart and M'gann trying to comfort her.But they couldn't.

The ebony started sobbing into the icy air.

The team heard his cries and turned to face him.Barry sighed and walked over to the boy,wanting to hug him,but Bart got to him first.

Bart wrapped his arm's around Dick,tightly hugging him.Dick sobbed still,choking on air for a moment,before hugging back and tucking his face into Bart's neck,breathing in the boy's scent.He smelled like Wally.He was to much like him.

He couldn't take it.

 But,Dick wasn't supposed to cry.He was Nightwing!The team's leader!Leader's don't show weakness.That's why he tried to choke down his tears.

"Don't try and hide your pain..."Bart spoke softly into Dick's ear."It's okay...you can show sadness...your not perfect...no one is..."Dick shuddered at the boy's,true,words.

Everything the boy said was true.

"Here comes a thought....that might alarm you..

what somebody said...and...and how it harmed you...

something you did...that failed to be charming...

things that you said are...suddenly swarming..

and ohh....your loosing sight...your loosing touch...

all these little things seem to matter so much...

that they confuse you....that I might lose...you..."

Amazingly,Dick seemed to calm down a bit.The older sniffed and held onto Bart tighter,letting a few more tears fall down his face.

"W-what...what was that..?"He heard Bart giggle a bit.

"Something my mom used to sing to me..."

"Oh..."Dick sniffed again.

Bart started singing again.

"Take a moment to remind yourself to..

Take a moment and find yourself...

take a moment and ask yourself if this is how we fall apart...

but it's not but's it's not but it's not but it's not but it's not...

It's okay,it's okay,it's okay,it's okay,it's okay....

you've got nothing got nothing got nothing got nothing to fear....

I'm here...I'm here...

I'm here..."

Here comes a thought....that might alarm me...what someone said...and

"I'm worried about Artemis!"

..and how it harmed me...something I did...that failed to be charming..thing's that I said are...

"The cave was...was just a place!"

Suddenly swarming...

"You put her right into his hands!"

And oh...I'm loosing sight...I'm loosing touch...

"Wally were talking about Kaldur here!"

All these little things seem to matter so much...

"I know...Kaldur...our friend..."

That they confuse me....

"Is it possible that Aqaulad's a agent?A TRIPLE agent?Your supposed to playing them..."

That I might lose me...

"But are you absolutely sure....

he isn't playing you?"

Wally...
