Young Justice: The War

(10) This Can't Be Happening

Aphrodite Pov

I looked around and saw no Wally.

"Aphrodite, I am so sorry. He loved you so much." Barry said putting his hand on my shoulder

Everyone eyes were on me as my eyes filled with tears. A wave of an emotions hit me.

"No. No no no!" I cried

"He's gone." Barry finished

I fell to my knees crying. Automatically arms were around me. I looked up and saw Ali and M'gann. Zoey was in front of me with her own tears.

"He's gone. He can't be!" I cried

Ali hugged me tighter and I cried more.

I didn't talk when we got back to the tower, but I saw Roy and Ali with sad faces, and holding boxes. Maybe Ali was moving more stuff into my place.

Then I saw her hug the team members. Even Max. She walks over to me and kneels down. I was sitting on the couch.

"Aphrodite, you and I have made a lot of mistakes recently, me more than you especially, but here's probably going to be my biggest mistake of all..." She says trailing off.

She looks at me waiting to say something, but when I don't she continues.

"Before I knew you were alive...I made a promise with Wolverine-" I look up at her quickly. "I'm leaving, for four months. So thank you, for everything. For the presents an for being a great friend." She stands up

I hopped up from the couch and tackled her into hug.

"Ali you are the best friend ever. I will come everyday to see you. That idiot isn't taking you away from me that easily." I said

Ali hugged me back. We have made our mistakes. Mines was not telling Ali about the undercover work and Ali's was leaving with Logan.

"Thank you." Ali said

"And anyway you practically live with me so its not like I won't see you." I said

Ali smiled and everyone laughed.

"Message Reminder for Wally." The system said

"Message Reminder? Why would he need an message reminder?" Zoey said

Zoey and I have been comforting each other due to the death of my long time boyfriend and her brother.

Nightwing played the attached media on the message and Wally popped up.

"So tomorrow is Valentines Day so I wanted to do something special for you. I love you to death Aphrodite Sapphire Williams. Happy Valentines day, babe. Oh and sorry for forgetting the last three years." Wally said with an smile

More tears that I thought I dried out came back and spilled out my eyes. I smiled remembering the last three years when he didn't remember Valentines day and would come up with some romantically cheesy excuse.

It was an slide show of all our pictures. There was one when I had braces which Ali now is on an determined hunt to find and another one where I'm in an bikini standing in front of an ocean. I saw Max blush and look away.

Ali sent me an look saying,'I think you flirted too much.'

I nodded and looked at Max again.

We continued watching and I saw Ali's face drop.

"What is it?" I whisper.

"Nothing, just watch the show.
