yes i stress wrote it

~Chapter 200: Anniversary 4 - See You Again~

They hadn't made it out. None of them.

The bombs spread around the city had them spread out as well and they had to be defused within a time limit. Clearly there was one they weren't told about. One which such strong explosion it sank all of Amusement Mile beneath the river.

But it didn't really matter.

Gotham was literally crossed off the map. Nothing could be rebuilt and no soul remained there. Not anymore.

The explosion took all of it. A more fiery end the Blüdhaven's toxic destruction.

It felt weird.

There hadn't been light when they crossed the first time. Just darkness, a cold, lonely, silent darkness.

This light however was bright, warm and sound of laughter before hands gently rested on either side of their heads.

"Not the end I expected any of you to go."

Eyes flicker open and heads turn to the voice, only for throats to close up, chests starting to hurt and eyes starting to water. The smallest jumping and flipping into waiting arms and bawled, soon they were both in a all out group hug. The voice smiles as they reach out to grasp the hand of the last person and holds it. "I told you... I like flipping back into your life."

"I... Didn't wanna cling to that hope."

"Well, now you can. There's nothing to pull you back this time."

"We died?"

The voice nods. "Destroyed portions of the city. Wouldn't surprise me if they fully demolished the place and just left it there for military drills, nice, destroyed soil hwere they can't hurt anyone."

"Well, what now?"

The person is tugged forward, being led forward. "Now you look forward for once. There's no mission anymore, no hurt and so on." They stop when the hand tightens. "And you? Are you in pain?"

The smallest leans back to look at them and finds a smile there. "No. I just waited here for you. Guide you back if you wanted or to lead you further."

"...It's good to see you again."

"Heh, it's good to see you all too."

They look down when a hand rests on their arm and a cocky smile appears on their face. "How did I know when to be there to save you?" They smile wider when tears flows faster and the person slowly leans forward to rest thier forehead on his chest.

"...It's good to see you again Dick."

Dick smiles as he combs his fingers through raven hair. "I told you we would? Don't you remember?" He looks up at the person again and holds a hand out. "Coming Bruce?"

Bruce smiles, an honest, unburdened smile and takes the hand. "Lead the way home Chum."

The BatFamily found peace at least, together.

And that sadly wraps up this story!

I've had fun writing so many random fics for this these last 4 years! But as the comics changed and my interest divided all around... I hope I still get to see you for some other story!

If you follow, be on the look out if inspiration strikes!

Thank you for your ideas, your reviews, your advice and encouragement!
