Season 1 pairings. Set before Auld Acquaintance.

I used to write nothing but YJ fanfic in my old account, TheRockingWriter, so this is my first YJ fanfic in months.

Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice.

The Lone Hero

Why? Why did Dick have to die? It wasn't like Batman had been aiming at him... he was aiming at her.

"Why'd you have to be such a hero, Dickie-bird?" she said, tears escaping "You should be the one alive... not me,"

Renegade's death was 2 years ago but it still hurt as if it was yesterday. She put her hand around the gold locket he had given her merely days before he died. She accessed the Wanted Heroes Index and found her own profile. She stood up at the computer desk and walked out of the war-torn room, leaving her file open.
