"Wally im really sorry, I really am--"
Wally shoved Nightwing back, making him slam back into the wall. "You're sorry? Huh well, I guess that makes everything better, doesn't it? Goddammit 'Wing, so many people almost died and you're sorry! Kaldur got his head fried, Artemis could've died countless times, I nearly died and so many others risked there lives for you, you and your stupid plan. Hell, even the mountain blew up! People lost their homes!"
Nightwing looked behind his angry best friend and saw the young justice team were silent. He couldn't tell whether they agreed with what the speedster was saying, the just didn't say or do anything.
"Wally I--"
Wally took a menacing step forward, eyes ablaze with fury. Nightwing couldn't help but step back up against the wall.
"Not enough, I have had enough of your excuses! Everyone would be better off without you here!"
Nightwing swallowed down a sob, Really? he couldn't help but ask himself.
"Or at least I would be...you don't deserve my forgiveness or to be my friend...i...i hate you"
Everyone behind Wally gasped, out of everything that the speedster could have said they were not expecting that. Nightwing was all of a sudden grateful for his mask, no one could see the way his eyes all of a sudden welled up with tears. Quietly Nightwing walked past the group of younger heroes heading towards the Zeta tube.
"Fine then. Thanks to Wally's clarification, It would seem that I am no longer wanted around anymore...It's been a pleasure to work with all of you." Nightwind turned to face his old team. Surprising the only one to show anger was Wally, the rest looked shocked scared and sad.
"This will probably be the last time any of you see me...Im leaving Gotham and the hero business...that's why i came here today to tell you all goodbye and that im sorry for everything"
He turned to Kaldur and stuck his hand out, the young Atlantian grasped the man's forearm, Nightwing brought the man close, lips brushing Kulders ear as he spoke. once the Gothamite pulled away the Atlantian nodded expression unreadable to everyone else.
Nightwing took a couple of steps back before turning back to the man that was once his best friend. "Im sorry, I failed you as a friend, a brother, a partner and a leader. I don't expect your forgiveness. But maybe in years from now, you may find it in your heart to forgive me"
something in Wallys eyes changed. The anger turned to shock and worry. As if something in his head finally clicked.
"Nightwing...what...what are you saying?"
the fallen bird smiled at all of them
"Im saying my goodbyes"
with that, he turned towards the Zetatube
"Recognising Nightwing B-01"
A thick uncomfortable silence falls in the watchtower as guilt and worry took presents.
Then gentle whispers started, Sobs of the guilty. every hero teen and young adult. showing there grief then thee was Wally, tears wet but no sound made, years of friendship and understanding thrown out the window.
one by one everyone left until only Kaldur and Wally stood together "What did he say?" Wally couldn't help but ask.
Kaldur stayed silent for a moment before answering "He said that one day years from now we'll understand everything"
The young Atlantian walked away.
