The final chapter! It's now complete! Thanks for all the support with this story! Don't forget to tell me what you think of the finale!

Bruce,

Don't be upset I'm gone or anything. You've got to promise me not to be. I didn't choose to leave, but it was going to happen no matter what either of us did. You know magic, it's impossible to make sense of. I'm not dead, not really. You just can't see me. It's a long story.

Life has to go on for you, Bruce. I don't want you to mourn me or anything. If you do, I'll be back to fill the Batcave with snow or something. And the cameras wouldn't catch me. Just, if you really need me, I'll be there. I promise. But I've got other stuff to do, so please don't have an emotional crisis when I'm busy!

By the way, Barbara knows who we are. Don't be too tough on her, I told her. I know you don't approve of her night job, but seriously, just let her do it. She deserves to protect the city just as much as we do. As we did. Let her help. Give her access to the Batcave. Invite her over for dinner a few times a month.

By the way, if you ever get another kid, they're welcome to my name; I'm certainly not using it anymore.

You were like a father to me, Bruce. I'm so thankful for that. Really, I am. Trust that this is all working out. And if you really want to know what happened to me, ask Captain Marvel about MiM. He'll know who that is. That'll give you enough clues to figure out what happened to me.

With love,

Dick Grayson

P.S. Seriously, Bruce. If you brood in the cave for a week after reading this, I'll make you regret it. If you do decide to find out what happened to me, make sure to share with Wally, Barbara, and Alfred! Also, find a good cover story for me. Maybe tell people I decided to visit some family in France for a year or something.

Bruce did take it hard, and Dick kept an extra close eye on him for a while. Still, the man did listen to the letter's advice, even if dinner's with Barbara were pretty silent. Sandy usually was with him when he followed Bruce as Batman.

Then he saw something perfect. Something that would hopefully lift Bruce's spirit. Dick grinned and gathered a snowball in his palm, much to Sandy's amusement. Then he took careful aim and hit a kid right in the center of the back

The kid spun around so quickly it was comical. Then the kid caught sight of the Batmobile and pulled out a tire iron.

Alfie,

Thanks for keeping Bruce and me alive. I don't think we could do any of it without you. I guess I just wanted to let you know I didn't run away or anything. It was magic. Nothing anyone did.. Just my destiny. Keep that word quiet around B though. I know he doesn't believe in it.

You need to make sure Bruce doesn't self-destruct. And take a few vacation days. Like seriously. You need those. You deserve a year-long vacation, I swear.

This may seem a bit short, but I know you get the picture. And if you ever want to know what happened to me, ask Bruce about MiM. He's probably going to ask Captain Marvel about it sometime.

Love,

Dick Grayson

Alfred is surprisingly okay. And sometimes Dick swears the man sees him when he checks up on him. But the moment he looks again, Alfred's eyes are always pointed away. But there's always a small smile on his face, as Tooth points out one evening.

Barbara,

You're probably really confused right now. I'm not in school today, by the way. I probably won't be ever again. Don't worry, I'm not dead or anything. Just… it's a long story. First thing I need to tell you is that I'm Robin. Bruce is Batman. And we both know you're Batgirl.

I'm gone now. You know magic, well that was kinda involved. It's not like I was turned invisible or anything. It was just something a long time coming, no matter if I was Robin or not. It was a birthright, you could say. If you really want to know, ask Bruce about MiM. No, it's not a joke.

By the way, I'll need you to put up with Bruce. He's probably going to start mentoring you soon, and he can be a little harsh. It's not so bad though. Let me rephrase that; it's not always that bad. :)

By the way, you could live with a little more belief. Don't try to grow up so fast, Gotham or not. And if you ever feel like talking to me, I'm always there. I promise. I'll hear you.

With love and hugs,

Dick

Barbara is almost as bad as Bruce. He's honestly impressed. But she gets better, softer after Jason starts asking about him. Barbara shares all sorts of stories, some he would really rather stay quiet, but she can't exactly see him, so.

No one has asked Bruce about MiM yet, and Bruce hasn't asked Captain Marvel. Speaking of Captain Marvel, apparently, he's a ten-year-old kid. And believes. So yeah. He kinda caught Dick spying and recognized him, which took a while to explain. But he agreed to keep quiet unless asked about MiM and Dick.

Back to the main point; it's nice seeing Barbara move on.

Walls,

Not dead. I promise. It's a really, really long story. If you want to know what happened to me, ask Bruce about MiM. Also, I can tell you it involves magic, so there's that. Don't just decide not to believe because of that.

You really need to just kiss Artemis by the way. The tension between you two is unbearable. It's getting to a ridiculous point. You like her. She likes you. You both deny it. Kiss and get together. Happily ever after.

I want you to do one thing for me; believe. You never really have, but there must have been a time when you were a kid that you believed in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, Sandman, and Jack Frost. Maybe believe in them a little longer. You're only a kid for so long, you know. Take this from me.

Your friend,

Dick Grayson

Wally is perhaps the hardest to watch. His friend doesn't know what happened to him, and it just hurts. No one on the Team does. But he can live with it. Besides, when Jason joins, he makes it a point to become friends with Wally. And Wally kisses Artemis on New Year's. So Dick likes to think he's won.

Wally ends up being the first one to ask Bruce about MiM, who then asks Captain Marvel. Seeing Bruce's face when Captain Marvel says: "The Man in the Moon. He's in charge of creating spirits," is the best thing Dick's seen in a long time.

Plus then he hits Bruce with a snowball and Bruce sees him. So best time in a while.
