OMG GUYS I DON'T DESERVE YOU READERS! I AM SOOO SORRY IT TOOK MORE THAN TWO YEARS TO WRITE THIS! I have been working on a novel, and to be honest I forgot my log in information. Anyways here is your update.
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters.
Dick's POV
Dick smiled sadly to himself. How fitting was it for him to die just like his family? He was the last flying Grayson falling to his death. It may be sometime after the other Flying Grayson's fell, but he is finally getting the death he asked for.
He landed with a thump, but he wasn't dead. He opened his eyes to see Superboy holding him close to his chest. "What are you doing to yourself?" Superboy asked in his usual tone.
"This is so not asterous." Dick mumbled, although even in his depressed state he seemed to have a sense of humor. Dick pushed against Superboy's chest. "Put me down."
The instant his feet were off the ground he was swept up into someone else's arms. These arms were peppered with freckles and were all too familiar. "Dude, quit scaring me." Wally said burying his face in Dick's raven colored hair. "I don't know what I would do if I lost you." As soon as the words left Wally's mouth he instantly regretted them. He set the acrobat on his feet and took a couple steps back.
Meanwhile Dick looked confused, and dizzy. The cuts on his arms were bleeding, with renewed force. His fingers twitched lamely at his sides, as warm liquid dripped off them. Blood was forming puddles at Dick's feet. "I…" Dick took an unsteady step backwards."Death… Wally… Superboy… Sorry…"
He began to fall, but he was caught by a much older pair of strong arms. Even though he was caught he continued to fall, spiraling down into an abyss of darkness.
Bruce's POV
Bruce nodded his thanks to Superboy, and sent a bat-glare at Wally. He lifted Dick up in his arms, and walked back into the hospital. Doctors instantly looked at them and started bumbling about. Bruce made his way amongst the chaos back to Dick's room, where he paged the nurse.
"Yes Mr. Wayne." A female with red hair said stepping into the room.
She puffed her chest out and sucked her stomach in to look "prettier" but Bruce hardly noticed he watched his ward. "Stitch him back up, and we need more blood." Bruce said in a gruff voice.
The nurse nodded and backed out of the room. "Right away sir." She said and the door was closed behind her.
Bruce sagged in his chair and buried his face in his hands. "Don't make me do this. Please Dick, don't make me bury another son." He let out a defeated sigh as he watched his boy.
Wally's POV
The instant Superboy put Dick down Wally swept him up in his arms. "Dude, quit scaring me." Wally said burying his face in Dick's raven colored hair. "I don't know what I would do if I lost you." Wally regretted the words as soon as they left his mouth. He fought back tears as he set his birdie down.
Dick looked dazed and scared as he began walking backwards. The cuts on his arms were bleeding at a scary pace. His fingers twitched uncontrollably at his sides as warm Dick's blood dripped off them. There were puddles of blood at Dick's feet. "I…" Dick took an unsteady step backwards."Death… Wally… Superboy… Sorry…" Then he fell backwards.
Wally longed to reach out and catch him, but Bruce already caught the boy. He nodded at Superboy and gave Wally a bat-glare. That sent chills down Wally's spine, even when it was just the Bruce. Once Bruce was inside the hospital with Dick Wally turned to Superboy. "I'm gonna go get something to eat."He said lamely. "You know us speedsters and our need to eat 24/7."
Superboy nodded in understanding, although Wally wasn't sure if he understood the need for food or that he had other plans. Either way Wally turned on his heel and walked away. Tears ran freely down his face.
How could his little birdie try to fly away from him? This boy, er young man, has been his friend forever. They grew up together playing video games, beating up bad guys, eating whatever they could find. How could Dick throw all of that away for some stupid boy he only knew for a little while?
Jealousy welled in Wally's chest. "How could he love Jason, more than me?" Wally grumbled kicking a rock. "Doesn't he see I love him…" Wally stopped in his tracks the tears flowing down his face with a new urgency. "I… I love him…" He said in realization.
How come he didn't realize it sooner? Wally hit himself in the head, and sat on the curb. "I… I love Dick…" He repeated to himself, as he stared at the asphalt.
AND I'm going to end it there. Wanted to add some birdflash into it. Hope you don't mind. More to come but first Reviews. I hope I'm not to late. Forgive me? If not I'll update even sooner.
