Dick was sitting in one of the couches just outside the medical wing of the Watchtower. His shoulder had been bandaged, as well as the injuries he received from the courthouse, and all he really needed now was some time to rest and recover… not that he'd be getting any rest anytime soon. The majority of his team were in the medical ward being treated for their injuries and until Dick knew for certain that everyone was alright, he wasn't going to let himself relax.

"Still here?" Wally asked as he limped out of the medical ward on his new crutches. With a bullet wound in his leg and stomach, it was a shock to see the speedster out of bed even with his rapid healing, but Dick assumed that Wally was just as worried about the others as he was.

"How's Artemis?" Dick asked, sliding over to give Wally some space to side beside him.

"She's got a pretty serious concussion and a few broken ribs. GA pulled her off duty for the next few weeks." Wally answered.

"You think she'll listen to him?"

"Not a chance." Wally smirked, sharing in a little light humour with his best friend. Despite the situation, Dick was glad to have Wally back home. Even after two years apart, the two fell back into step as if KF had never left.

"Uncle Barry gave me the full report on my way out. M'Gaan and Kaldur are both fine, they're back at the dorms with Connor and Roy. Other than some burns and frostbite, they're all going to be ok." Wally added.

"That's good. Babs and Jason are still in the med bay, both have got fractured ribs from Ivy's vines, and Jay needed to get his side stitched up again. But they're strong, no doubt they'll be back on their feet to check on the others in a couple of hours."

"Strong… or stubborn?" Wally teased.

"Both." Dick smiled. The two fell silent for a few long minutes before Wally asked about their youngest and most severely injured team member.

"What about Tim? Any news?" Wally asked, watching as Dick dropped his gaze. He had been getting regular updates from Bruce, but so far there were no guarantees.

"They've removed the bullets and he's stable… for now. They're going to keep him under close observation for the next few days. I can't believe how close we came to losing him."

"Tim's a strong kid, Dick. He is a Robin, after all. He's going to pull through this and when he does, he's going to kick your ass for trying to sacrifice yourself back there!" Wally told him, giving Dick a light shove on his uninjured shoulder.

"Yeah, I know." Dick sighed. "I was selfish… I just didn't want to lose anyone else."

"You can't save everyone Dick." Wally countered, making Dick shake his head.

"Says the person who travelled back in time to save the world!".

"Admit it, you missed me!" Wally teased again, trying to bring the mood back up. There had been enough pain, grief, and suffering in the past few days, they didn't need any more of it now.

"Maybe a little." Dick teased back, appreciating the effort to keep the conversation light.

"I thought we'd find you guys here." Roy called out as he, Connor, M'Gaan, and Kal'dur entered the waiting room with a little red-haired girl about two years old in her father's arms.

"Wally, I'm not sure if you remember…"

"Lian! Wow, she's so little… She was a lot older the last time I saw her." Wally admitted, watching the little one giggle in Roy's arms. It was hard to imagine such a little girl would grow into the fierce, independent heroine Wally had met in the future.

"You knew Lian in the future?" Roy asked with curiosity.

"Share with us, Wally! You seem to know everything that's happened with us in the past two years, but we don't know anything about what you've seen." M'Gaan asked anxiously.

"Yeah, come on KF. I'm alive, the league is still together, the future you knew is no longer going to happen. So there's no harm in giving spoilers, right?" Nightwing pressed, hoping for some details.

"It's kind of a long story guys." Kid Flash excused, but they weren't letting him off the hook that easy.

"It's not like we're going anywhere." Connor countered. That much was true. None of them would be leaving the Watchtower until Tim was recovered and the others were back on their feet, so they may as well have some entertainment.

"Alright, fine." Wally surrendered.

"The first thing you've got to know, Roy, is that this little angel is going to be a handful when she grows up! Isn't that right, Linx?"

This is the final chapter of The End. Thank you all for reading my story, I hope you enjoyed it! A special thanks to everyone who followed, favourited, and reviewed this story. It was my first shot at publishing anything on , and I really appreciate the encouragement and feedback!

If you are as curious as the team was to hear Wally's story about the future, I will be writing a sequel to The End based on Wally's experiences leading up to his return. You'll get to see what the end of the world really looked like, how the team (those who are left) are coping with the divide of the league, and meet some of the futures new heroes (including Lian Harper and Damian Wayne). If you have any requests or comments, feel free to PM me!

Finally, I'd like to wish everyone warm season's greetings! I wish you all a safe and happy holiday and all the best in the new year!
