Me: Here it is. The final chapter.

Artemis: *draging Wally by the ear* Next time listen to me.

Wally: Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

Robin: I'm glad this was all just a story, or you would really be fed to the sharks.

Me: *laughing nerviously* Heh, yeah... Well, I hope you enjoy this last chapter.


Ch. 6 The Final Goodbye

Robin, Artemis, and the rest of the team, plus Roy, all walked into the Central City Funeral Home together and saw the open casket at the front of the room. They all walked toward it, but Artemis and Robin couldn't go up there yet. They still weren't ready to accept it yet.

M'gann started crying as soon as she saw Wally's body and Conner just pulled her into his arms and walked them to their seats, Roy and Kaldur just passed sadly, and Rocket and Zatanna had a few tears escaping their eyes as they said their goodbyes then they all headed to their seats too.

M'gann was still crying, but not as hard, and she and Zatanna just went up to Robin and Artemis and gave them both a hug. "I know this is hitting you two the hardest," Zatanna said. "Just know that we're all here for you."

Robin smiled. "Thanks, Zee."

"Yeah," Artemis agreed, "thanks."

"Are you going to say your final goodbye to Wally?" M'gann asked.

Robin and Artemis looked toward the casket at the front of the room. "I don't know if I can," Artemis said.

Robin grabbed her hand and squeezed it gently. "We can do it together."

Artemis smiled at him and they both walked up to the casket hand in hand.

Zatanna frowned when she saw them holding hands, maybe even a little jealous. 'No, they're just friends comforting each other. Robin still likes me.' However, she wasn't so sure. That morning she saw them together a lot and she could've sworn she saw them flirting with each other a little. She sat down in her seat and stared at both of them.

Artemis and Robin both looked down at Wally's body and Robin felt a little sick, but pushed that out of his mind when Artemis tightened her grip on his hand as tears started to fall down her cheeks. Robin looked up at her. "We're going to make it. We just have to hold on to all the good memories," Robin told her.

Artemis looked at him and smiled. "I know." She took one more look at Wally's body then turned around. "Come on, let's go sit down."

Robin nodded and followed her to two empty seats next to Zatanna and sat down.

Superman stood up and walked to the front of the room with the preacher that was going to do the service. "Thank you all for coming," Superman started. "We all knew Wally, Kid Flash, in one way or another, whether it be family or friends. I just wanted to say that we will all miss you, Wally, and we'll never forget you." He then went back to his seat and the preacher began the service.

The whole service took about an hour and a half because Black Canary sang one of Wally's favorite songs, Flash told everyone his and Wally's best crime fighting moments, Roy, Kaldur, and Robin told the good times they've had with him, and finally his parents told everyone what it was like to raise him and how much they would miss him.

After everything was done, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, J'onn, Green Arrow, and Roy all carried Wally's casket to the hearse and everyone went to the grave site.

It took about five minutes to get there and as soon as Robin stepped out of the Batmobile and saw all the gravestones, he froze. All the memories of his parents deaths and the funeral came crashing in and made him fall to the ground.

Artemis and Batman saw him fall, ran over to him, and knelt down beside him. "Robin, are you alright?" Batman asked.

Robin looked up at him. "Yeah, it's just… that day… all this is bringing back all those memories of that day," Robin replied tears falling from his eyes for the first time that day.

Both Artemis and Batman helped him stand back up. "If you don't think you can do this, you can stay in the car," Batman told him.

"No," Robin shook his head, "I need to do this. I'll be fine, it just hit me all at once 'cause I was trying not to think about it." He looked up at Batman. "I can handle it."

Batman nodded and went over to the hearse to help unload the casket, leaving Artemis to help Robin.

"Dick, are you sure you can handle this? I mean, you have been through a lot over the years," Artemis asked quietly.

"Yeah, I've handled it in the past, I can handle it now. Like I said, it just caught me off guard."

"Ok." She then grabbed his hand and they both walked to the chairs.

Before they got to the chairs though, Wally appeared before them. "Wally," Artemis said with a small smile.

"Hey, Arty. Hey, Rob," Wally said smiling back at them.

"Why weren't you at the mountain this morning, or at the service earlier?" Robin asked.

"I was, I just wasn't visible then."

"Oh," Dick replied. All three of them went over to sit next to the rest of the team.

When Wally walked up to the others, all of their eyes went wide. "Hey, guys," Wally said as he waved at them.

"Wally?" M'gann asked surprised and not really believing her eyes.

Robin looked around then turned to the others. "Let's go behind the tent so the others don't think we're crazy."

As they all walked out from under the tent, Flash stopped them. "Where are you kids going?"

"We'll be right back, ten minutes tops," Robin said then they all walked away not waiting for a response and leaving Flash standing there confused.

Once they got back behind the tent, they all gathered around Wally.

"What are you doing here?" M'gann asked.

"Well, it is my funeral," Wally said trying to make them laugh, but fail miserably. "I came to say goodbye."

"What?" Zatanna questioned. "Goodbye? But you're here."

"Yeah, but he can't stay long," Artemis said.

"Then why are you allowed to come now?" Kaldur asked.

"My time wasn't yet finished. I needed to complete something and I think that was to help Artemis cope with all this and help her move on."

Artemis walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'll never forget you and I don't know if I'll ever get over this, but," she looked to Robin and smiled then back to Wally, "I think I'll live."

Wally pulled her close and kissed her. Robin looked away not wanting to be jealous and to let them have one last kiss between them. "I'll always be with you, babe," Wally said after he pulled away. He then called Robin over to them and he put Artemis' hand in Robin's. "Take care of her Rob."

Artemis and Robin both smiled and blushed a little. "I will," he said.

"We are all going to miss you, my friend," Kaldur said.

"Yeah, a lot," M'gann agreed.

"And I'll miss you all too, especially the missions, but I'll be with all of you in spirit. I'll keep an eye on you guys and make sure you don't get into any trouble." They all smiled.

"Say hi to my mom and dad for me, and tell them I miss them," Robin said.

"I will," Wally said. "Well, I got to go. They're waiting for me."

"Who is?" Conner asked.

"Well, Rob's parents for one thing… oh and they said hi, they miss you too, and that they love you very much and always will."

Robin smiled and another tear escaped his eye. "Te iubesc, prea." And just for a few seconds, Dick saw his parents smiling down at him.

"We're very proud of you son," his father said.

Robin smiled and a few more tears escaped his eyes.

"Well, see ya," Wally said then jumped and headed up toward the sky. "Oh, and tell BC that I loved the song." He then disappeared.

They all walked back under the tent and the preacher walked up to them. "Are you guys ready?"

"Yeah, we just wanted to say goodbye to a friend," Robin said smiling and looked up to the sky.


Me: Last chapter done, and I was really proud of that ending.

Wally: Yeah, way to make it all about Rob.

Robin: Hey, it wasn't all about me!

Artemis: Well, you did get the girl, saw your parents, and had the final say.

Robin: Well don't blame me. Reading Nut's the one that did it.

Me: Ok now. *starts backing away* Everyone just calm down.

Artemis: Oh relax, we aren't going to hurt you.

Me: You're not?

Wally: Maybe they're not, but I've got a few choice words for you.

Me: *gulps and runs away screaming*

Wally: *runs after RNC*

Artemis: Well, I guess that means we have to close this story up.

Robin: Yep. Let her know what you thought of the chapter and the story.

Artemis: She lives for comments people.

Robin: Yeah, the more you comment, the better chance of more stories... About me... Being tortured or kidnapped or... Wait a minute. I don't...

Artemis: *puts a hand over Robin's mouth* He wants it guys cause he secretly likes it.

Robin: *trys to say something*

Artemis: That was the last work from you. *to readers* Bye guys
