"What's done is done," Bruce said in a strict tone. He was sitting in a panel of 6.
"The invasion is over, we won!" Artemis shouted. She pushed herself up "we already lost someone during the invasion, we can't risk losing someone else," she held back tears as that fateful day entered her mind.
2 months had gone by since the Invasion ended. They still weren't accustomed to the speedster not being there.
"This is exactly why we need a new member," Kalur'ahm said. His soothing words didn't help his friends anger. "We barley made it t through the last invasion, we need to be prepared for the next time. Even if it means letting go," his wise words were no match for Artemis's bubbling anger.
"So are you saying that Wally was useless?" Now Artemis was really mad.
"Not at all. I was just implying that-"
"This invasion took a long time. Who knows how many members would have been injured it Wally hadn't sacrificed himself for us. We need a new member in case the invasion happens again. If it does, then we will have a fresh face and the tyrants won't see what's coming," dicks words were also wise as the merman's.
Everyone except for Artemis nodded in agreement with Dick.
"yeah," Artemis began, tears flowing down her cheeks,"but would Wally want it like that?"
M'gann considered saying a phrase or two to cheer her fellow team member up, but in reality she couldn't. would Wally want it that way?
As for Raquel and Conner, something else was on their minds. Big secrets. And for Zatanna, she was buried in her clothing, feeling ashamed of herself for not being able to answer. But even his dearest forend, possibly the wisest of them all, the Grayson Wonder, couldn't even answer the question. It broke his heart that Artemis was true.
"Artemis," Bruce began, "your still not over Wally's death. Even so, I think you should talk to Canary. She can help you with your troubles and overcome them."
"Overcome? Troubles?" Artemis roared like the tigress she is. "I don't need this! I don't need counseling! I don't even know why I rejoined this team!" Artemis stomped out of the room.
Silence came across the panel for various seconds until Zatanna shifted upwards. "Let me go talk to her. Maybe I'll-"
"No, Bruce thundered,"She just needs to cool down. Besides,
What's done, is done."
