Hey all! Lakeshine here with a rewrite of Failsafe! For awhile now I've wanted to make a new ending for this episode but it has taken me a long time to figure out how to start it so I hope you all enjoy :) (Also I added time to the countdown so they have more time to get out)

Disclaimer~ Young Justice and its characters are not mine so leave me alone!

Countdown

Robin's POV

5 minutes until explosion

Kid Flash and I glance at each other as Megan and her Uncle phase through the floor. In the space of a few seconds I can read everything from his emerald eyes. The hurt and sorrow from losing Artemis and the others. The knowledge that there was no way we would, could get out of here in time. The determination to go down fighting. I can tell he can sense the same feeling from me a gives a grim nod. Let's do this.We both charge out and into the open. I immediately throw three batarangs taking down three of the aliens as KF races around taking out more of the invaders using his super speed. The aliens soon catch on and begin to fire their disintegrating lasers at us. I nimbly flip and twist out of the way, thanking my birth parents for their teachings and Bruce for the reaction time I now possessed. "I'll see you all soon" I think grimly recalling all of their deaths as I whip bird and batarangs at the advancing masses. I quickly glance to KF to see how he was faring, he was also dodging the rays with ease but they appeared to be pushing the speedster back in the direction we came, back towards the bombs. I'm brought back to my own fight as a laser narrowly misses me. "Too close" I mutter focusing back in. "It's not like it matters you're going to die anyway. Why not let them hit you? It would hurt a lot less than the fiery death that awaits" comes that annoying voice from the back of my head. "I'll be damned if I don't go down fighting!"I reply to the voice whipping out some explosive birdarangs and flinging them at the invaders. I duck behind my cape as the robot like aliens explode. I look up and notice a beam heading directly at me. I jump to the side ripping off my cape as I did so and the beam hits the light fabric and in a instant spreads engulfs the garment, disintegrating into nothing. I jump back into battle leaping up so I was in between four of the machine like creatures. They charge and fire and at the last second I leap out of the way, so the rays hit each other and eliminate the four aliens.

4 minutes until explosion

I smirk to myself seeing I had eliminated my half of the intruders, and glance at my wrist computer telling me how long until detonation. "Maybe we could still get out of here alive, at least Wally could"I think to myself glancing around for said speedster, however he had disappeared and so had the rest of the intruders. I race in the direction I last saw my best friend, where the aliens seemed to have been herding him. I soon see traces of battle, and many downed intruders showing he had not been vaporized as far as I could tell. I finally reach the core, panting slightly. I soon spot Wally and let out a sigh of relief until I see the whole situation. The enemies had forced him close to the core and I could see him trying to fight its pull, horror on his face. I run forward hoping, praying I could get there in time as a alien fires a beam at him. He dodges but his foot slips and he's drawn to the core, his hand outstretched towards me, only now spotting me.

3 minutes until explosion

"NO!" I scream "KF!" I dash forward despite the distance. I knew I could never make it in time. The faces of my parents, Bruce, Artemis, Kaldur, Conner all flash before my eyes. Wally face loses its horror stricken look and he accepts his face, he gives me a little wave before hits the ground. "NOOOOOO!" I screech leaping towards the invaders. I draw two batarangs and ruthlessly attack the aliens, throwing caution to the wind. They had taken everything from me. Thanks to them my second family, excluding M'Gann were gone, dead. I drop some smoke bombs hiding myself from view and take out the invaders one by one. Boom. Explosive birdarang into the laser before an explosion. Artemis.I throw a bola around the 'legs' of another and stab the knife from the hidden place in my boot threw its 'eye'. Kaldur.I jump up and over landing on a third's back and stab my Taser into hit setting the voltage to lethal while jumping off. Conner.I throw three batarangs taking out another 3 of the monsters who had invaded my planet. The League. I draw my eskrima sticks and stab them through another alien. Bruce.The smoke clears leaving me in the open with the last invader. It shoots its laser at me but I back-flip out of the way and charge, punching it with all my strength, allowing my grief and rage to power the punch. It falls back and I pursue my advantage, kicking and punching the robot like creature with all my strength. For all the civilians lost due to the invasion.The alien falls back and I jump on it drawing a batarang. I stab the projectile into it's 'chest' and leap back as it explodes. Wally.

2 minutes until explosion

I rip of my mask, crumpling the fabric in my hands. I don't deserve the title Robin anymore. I had sentenced those of my teammates that remained to death, like Batman. A few tears escape my eyes as I take in the crushed forms of the aliens before they turn to gaze at the core. Where Wally's body was. I walk forward stiffly, not wanting to believe but knowing I had to, had to see the body of my brother in all ways but blood. I jump off, speeding towards the core, knowing now there was no why back, no way out. I launch my grappling hook before I hit the 'ground' and allow myself to let go as the grappling hook didn't quite reach. The landing sends a searing pain through me, originating from my now broken ankle, but that didn't matter. I can see Wally's broken form, frozen in an impossible position just like my parents were all those years ago.

1 minute until explosion

I force myself forward, dreading seeing the full damage. I reach the speedster, first noticing his broken legs. If he was alive he would never be able to run again.I drop to my knees and pick up his head ignoring the blood that surrounded his body from the fall as it soaked my leggings. His head lolls to the side, his eyes closed. He was already gone. Tears streak down my face as I clutch hid body, touching my forehead to his. I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry"

30 seconds left

I allow myself to look up and glance at the time remaining. 30 seconds. I whip away my tears and gaze sorrowfully at Wally before shifting my gaze upwards. Mom, Dad, Bruce, Wally I'll see you soon.

5 seconds left.

"5,4,3,2,1" I whisper before the core explodes and I'm overcome by intense heat and pain as I'm incinerated into ashes."I'm sorry."

So I'll probably have one more chapter after this maybe two, I'll have to see... but I hope you liked the first chapter so please, please
