Okay, here it is people. The very last chapter in all of the Complications series! Oh God, today was my last day as a 8th grader and every year on the last day of school, I do this thing where I come home, lock myself up, cry my eyes out and then fall asleep for a while. So, I was asleep for like 2 hours and then I had to type this kind of fast. So, please do forgive me for the mispells, etc. And I want to thank all of you guys for reading my work and encouraging me to go forward. I love all of you guys and hopefully, I'll write some more Spitfire during the summer. And I hope you guys like what I tried in this chapter. Thanks especially to drifts1, Spitfirechick and andyc196, who read all three stories in three days :) I love you guys so freaking much and PLEASE REVIEW!

EPILOGUE: Our Little Secret

Hi! This is your narrator speaking, well writing actually. For almost a year, I've been talking about Artemis and Wally, or as I like to call it; Spitfire's journey. Yes, I've never actually said my point of view for any of the three stories, but here I am, and I'm going to tell you what happened after the big battle in Paris. I even have a name for it, I call it The Battle of Shadows, pretty cool, huh? Anyway, I'm pretty sure you don't care about what I think, of course you don't, you don't even know me, but if you don't I won't tell you what happens to Spitfire 12 years after The Battle of Shadows. Yes, I will do it if I have to.

So are you listening? Good.

And I'll make it as chronological as possible, now please try to pay attention.

First off, let's start with Cheshire and Red Arrow. Well actually, I don't have a lot of things to say about them, they just joined the Team after Paris and then started dating.

Also after the battle, Cassandra and Alex sort of secretly dating but having your brother as a former Shadow and your teammate wasn't easy and they were eventually caught. Luke almost attacked Alex if he weren't his girlfriend's twin brother.

I bet you're wondering what happened to the other characters now are you? No, I know you don't, well too bad because I'll have to tell their story before I tell Spitfire's, so keep reading!

A year after the battle, Kaldur asked Amy out. That was also the time that Supermartian almost died, see M'gann and Connor had this huge argument but then, they realized they still had feelings for each other and promised to never leave each other. Sweet right? Well not as sweet as Spitfire's story!

That was also the year Angela was born. I also bet you're wondering who the heck is this girl. I'll give you a hint: as a baby, she almost deafened her father with her sonic screams. What? You guessed who it is? Well duh, it's Oliver and Dinah's daughter and Adam's younger sister! You know what she looks like? Well both her parents have blond hair and blue eyes so you put the puzzle pieces together.

Anyway, after graduation, Nathan, Cassandra's ex-boyfriend and Wally's close friend, moved to Gotham to become a get his Ph.D. You're trying to guess what that means right? Well you're on the internet right now, why don't you look it up? What? You're too lazy? Fine, Ph.D. stands for Doctor of Philosophy, so it's pretty obvious what he became.

Now, Louise, you know, one of Wally's friends, also a redhead? Yes! Yes, that Louise! Well she stayed in Central City and started a dance career and attended Central City Dance School.

Wait, what about Simon? Simon who was Artemis's date for Ollie and Dinah's wedding who actually had a crush on this girl named Margot? Well we have to back up a bit since he moved to Texas in junior year. He and Artemis had become pretty good friends during the whole year he was at Gotham Academy and they're still in contact. I'll tell you what all these people are now later on, so stay calm and read!

Now, I'll tell you about junior year for the young couple. No, nothing dramatically bad happened in their lives after The Battle of Shadows, anyway, I don't think anything can beat that. So, Wally and Artemis had 2 junior proms! That's so cool right? Well, they did go to 2 different schools, and they were boyfriend-girfriend soof course they had to bright the other along! The first one was at Gotham Academy, where Alex had brought Sandie along, Alice, Luke and Amy brought Kaldur.

I won't give you any serious details but that night, Wally wore trousers, a button down and a simple blazer while Artemis wore her birthday dress. Remember, the dress she wore for her sweet 16? The green one! Yeah, the one that she also used for the dinner her and Wally came back together. Anyway, nothing important happened intresting happened then. Heck, they weren't even prom king and queen; they didn't want it so the crowns went to Cassandra and Alex. I know, you're mad, Spitfire should have gotten the crowns, but like I said, they didn't want it. Wally even said, and I quote "We don't need it, we have each other." I told you they were freaking adorable!

No, I'm not telling you what happened at the Central City High School junior prom, and honestly, you don't want to know. No, I'm serious, you don't. Fine already! I'll tell you! But remember, you asked for it.

Uh, so, they both wore the same dresses, actually, they didn't even want to go since they already had theirs but Vanessa really wanted to meet the infamous Artemis Crock so they had to come. And let me tell you, it was not pretty.

First, before I continue, do you guys know what happened to that weird giant octopus thing that almost killed Artemis while Wally was jumping up and down with glee? Well I never actually said it was dead now did I? No, he was electrocuted by Aqualad. So you know what they did? They locked him up in sort huge river for a year and then he sort of escaped, was injected with the very last of the cobra venom, you know, the one from Complications, and almost crushed all of CCHS's gym. So Artemis, Kid Flash and Jane Doe, wait did I tell you she was there? Well she was, so that means that she and Alex also had to junior proms! Cool! Anyway, back to the story, they beat the hell out of the octopus and almost had their covers blown if Alex hadn't make up some lame excuse for them.

Now, let's go to senior prom! Now this was a sweet story. But before we start, let me tell you that due to the lack of students at Gotham Academy, they had to make the junior and senior prom together. So, yes, Dick Grayson was there. And thanks to Artemis; Dick was able to get Zatanna to go with him, who Dick hadn't seen since Artemis's birthday. Haha, see how I kept using Dick and not Robin?

Anyway, it was a sweet story for Chalant actually. That was the night Dick had revealed to her that he was Robin. After his bold move, he and Zatanna had started dating.

And that year, Spitfire won prom king and queen! No, they didn't back down this time, Alex and Sandie, who was there again, refused to become King and Queen for the second year in a row, so they didn't really have a choice. You should have seen them dancing, it was adorable.

They didn't go the CCHS's senior prom though; they had decided they had enough of octopus attacks for a lifetime.

Uh, let's see, what else happened that year? Oh, here, I have on! At the age of 21, Jade and Roy got married. Not very important but Jade is Artemis's sister, so… Ooh, also, Artemis was the maid of honor, how sweet is that? I totally felt the aster during the wedding. And yes, I was there, go ahead, be jealous!

So, nothing really happens during those years. I can tell you that Artemis and Wally moved in together in Palo Alto and they both went to Stanford. And unlike the cruel lies of Greg and Brandon, they stayed in the Team.

A year after they gradutated from high school, Connor proposed to M'gann. No one really cared about the age, technically M'gann was in her late forties by then and Superboy was just a few years old. It was actually cute how Connor asked everyone how people proposed on earth. He was just a few years old after all. The Martian was screaming her head off when he popped the question. Everyone was happy for them and M'gann was even more perky than usual.

Now, let's fast forward a bit.

We have another RedCat! Yes, that's what I'm calling Red Arrow and Cheshire, deal with it. Anyway, Lian! That's all I have to say, and I'm pretty sure you know what the codename for that is. Also, again from the cruel lies of G&B, Roy did not become a drug addict! He loved his wife and daughter very much.

Okay, so finally! You guys are finally going to see a part of Spitfire's journey. Just a little P.S., they're 21 here. Nightwing, Dick Grayson that is, caught this one of camera actually. I just need to find the remote for the TV, just―oh! Here it is! I was holding it the entire time. How stupid of me.

Anyway, get your popcorn and play:

"Wally, what the heck are we doing at the cave?" Artemis said, half annoyed, half chuckling.

They were holding hands, and Wally faced her for a moment, "Just, just wait, alright?" he asked patiently. The archer nodded.

The speedster took a long breath and faced her again, although this time, he took the blonde's left hand in his hands. Then, he kneeled on one knee and pulled out a small box, he opened it and inside was a diamond ring. Artemis quickly stood up straight, surprised and looking at Wally with huge eyes. "First off, I'd like to apologize in advance. See, whenever I say something in my head, it comes out completely wrong when it comes from my mouth." Artemis smiled at him, "So, Artemis. It's been almost seven years since we've been together and honestly, I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have you here with me right now." Wally looked at the training room, all around it, like if he was waiting for someone to come, but when he looked at Artemis's gray eyes, his eyes looked like they've gone back in the past, like if he was remembering something, "Today's August 8, 2017. It's been exactly seven years since I've met the most amazing, bravest and the hottest girl on earth. And this is the place where I met her."

"Are you saying you've been cheating on me, Wally?" Artemis asked playfully.

"How can I even think about another girl when the only other person I really need is right in front of me?" he smiled at her, his freckles were gone, she missed them and put her right hand on his cheek gently, "And right now, I'm the luckiest man just behind with that girl. The girl that grew up with darkness raised in her. The girl that was able to defeat that darkness and never even thought about going back to that dark place. The girl that knew she was doing something wrong and eventually did the right thing. The girl that still doubts herself, who still thinks she is still dark. But you know what? I know that girl is nothing but amazing, and brave and strong and nothing like the girl she thinks she is."

Tears were already at Artemis's cheeks, "Wally." She mumbled.

"Don't. Don't say that you don't deserve me because I'm the one who doesn't deserve you. I don't deserve someone so beyond great." He said, he was also getting teary, "When we first met here seven years ago, we were at each other's throats. But I knew, deep inside me, I'd do anything for that girl who had called herself Oliver Queen's niece. I'd die for her a million times, protect her as long as I live and remind her how much amazing she is and how much she means to me every day." He bit his lip, "I know, I might as well be the corniest person in the world, but this person is in love with the bravest girl in the world. And honestly, we've been through hell together. And I couldn't even think about going through all that with any other girl. So, Artemis, will you marry me?"

She jumped into his arms, yelling yes as loud as she could. Wally didn't even care if she was screaming in his ear. He was going to marry her. He was going to marry Artemis Crock.

Once they back away, Wally put the ring through Artemis's ring finger and smiled like he'd never smiled before.

Sniff, sniff. I'm so sorry. This is so unprofessional. It's just that every single time I watch that video, I break down into tears. It was just so adorable!

Okay, breathe Nica, breathe. Yes, my name is Nica, is that a problem? Actually that's just my nickname but you don't actually expect me to tell you my real name now do you? Yeah, I'm pulling a Batman secret identity thing on you.

A few months after the proposal, M'gann and Connor got married. It was small, private and pretty intimate. It was at the beach, right outside Mount Justice. The Team with the help from the Justice League had constructed a gazebo and wooden floors so that M'gann could walk down the aisle and put the chairs there. She was wearing a knee length wedding dress and was in her human form. It was a simple dress with thick straps and the beltline was in the middle of her waist, the skirt was flowy and she wore white, five inch sandals. For flowers, she chose white and red roses.

For their honeymoon, they went to Venice. They didn't even have to pay for the airplane tickets, they used the Bio-ship.

Anyway, let's continue.

So a year after Supermartian got married, Spitfire decided to finally tie the knot as well.

No, I won't tell you what happened. Well, I will but not in so much detail as the proposal. I don't think you guys can take it. But I will tell you one thing, I attended it.

Of course, Dick Grayson was the best man. Yes, normally the bother should be the best man but you couldn't really blame Wally for choosing The Hottest Man Alive Dick Grayson over his 12 year old brother now do you? Kaldur, Connor, Luke, Roy and Alex were groomsmen and they had 2 ring bearers, don't ask me how it worked, I just saw what happened, I didn't know how they planned it. They were Mark and Adam, who was 10 at the time. They all wore black and white matching tuxedos, which was cute actually.

Jade was the maid of honor. Zatanna, M'gann, Sandie, Alice and Amy were the bridesmaids. They all wore these long spaghetti strap dresses that came to their calves. It was a pinkish, beige color. The skirts were layered and they were all holding a small bouquet of pink tulips. They also had these headbands with a few tulips on them. They all looked so girlie and innocent. Jade didn't like it but Artemis had reminded her of Jade's wedding and how she had forced her to wear a light blue dress that made her look like a blond bimbo. Not that blonds are bimbos.

Wally, he was wearing a tux, not black and white like his groomsmen or the Penguin but a silver and white tuxedo. He looked…shiny in it but still handsome and mature.

And Artemis was wearing a long, flowy, white, strapless gown. The top was beaded and around Artemis's upper waist was a light blue ribbon. The skirt was made of silk. It actually tickled her legs the whole time and while dressing up, she wouldn't stop giggling. She even had a veil that covered her hair, which was shorter by then and only reached her mid back. But what was really important about the outfit was that she was still wearing the necklace. The necklace that Wally had given her for Christmas from 8 years before that, the one made of silver and had a diamond on the I and had a crescent moon beside her name. She wore it every day. Until now.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking that since Wally proposed to her in Mount Justice, the place they met, they'd get married on top of the Eiffel Tower, where they first kissed? Well no. Even Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen combined their fortunes, they would be able to even use the Eiffel Tower for an hour. So they did it at the second best place there was.

Gotham Park.

I know what you're thinking: What?

Well actually, it was pretty intense, so freaking beautiful.

Bruce Wayne had generously talked to the Mayor into letting them wed around the Willow Tree. Yes, that's where they got married. The Willow Tree. Their Willow Tree.

Well, it's not actually theirs but it's theirs in spirit.

It had grown since they were there as teenagers but they knew very well where it was in all of Gotham Park.

Honestly, everyone was crying, well almost everyone. I could feel the love everywhere.

I bet you're thinking of how they afforded all this. Well, Artemis was like a daughter to Oliver, who do you think paid for it?

And don't even get me started on their vows. Wally had actually saved the recorded conversation between him and Nightwing 8 years ago in Paris, when he had angrily confessed he was in love with Artemis and played it in front of everybody. And at the end, he said these exact words: To my fallen angel, Artemis Crock, forever, I will love you unconditionally.

And while Wally's was all corny and lovey dovy, Artemis's was dark and beautiful. No, not dark as in evil. But she talked about how he had gotten her through all the bad things in her life and how he had loved her even after knowing she had a dark past. It was just so emotional!

The next day, they flew to Paris, where they stayed for three weeks.

Almost right after Spitfire's honeymoon, Luke had decided her wanted the same happiness as his best friend and teammates' did, so he proposed to Alice. Surprisingly, Alex's head didn't blow up. And apparently, he had been saving for the ring since they first started going out.

In January of the following year, Ben was born. Who is Ben, you say? He's the son of a certain Martian and clone. Yup. M'gann was pregnant. I didn't tell you but here you go. Now let me tell you what he looks like. He has human skin, dark auburn hair like his mother and bright blue eyes like his dad.

In February; Dick finally listened to Wally and proposed to Zatanna. It was pretty cute actually. Dick wouldn't stop talking, he was sweating everywhere, he had to change his shirt every half hour and he kept looking at his watch, breathing hastily and his heartbeat was racing. It was also pretty classical. A late night dinner at a five star restaurant and one of the most expensive rings ever, being Richard Dick Grayson and all.

January of the following year, Alice and Luke finally tied the knot. This time, the wedding happened in the Karlson's mansion's garden. Of course nor Alice nor Alex haven't actually lived there in a while. But the garden was still huge and the wedding was small. Only close friends and family. But it was still sweet. Alice wore her mother's wedding dress. Although her parents' marriage ended a long time ago, she knew that they had loved each other. It was simple but expensive. This time, Cassandra was the maid of honor, being Luke's sister and Alex was the best man, being the bride's twin brother.

A month later, Dick and Zatanna had gotten married as well. It was at an expensive hotel. Bruce Wayne had paid for absolutely everything. Even the bride's dress. The dress was especially designed for the magician herself. The top was pretty much a corset, the skirt was like a giant tutu and the beltline was on her waist. If you went more details, just look at Kate Hudson's dress on Bride Wars. Yeah, it's pretty much looked like that. Artemis was the maid of honor and Wally was the best man, being so close to the other couple.

September 29 of that year, Jessie and Jane were born. They're Alice and Luke's kids. Yeah, that was fast right? They were identical twins and apparently, twins ran in the Karlson family, fraternal or not. Both little girls had very light brown hair, almost blond, like Cassandra's, had a light tan, coming from their mother and sparkling blue eyes from their father.

And then a bit later in the year, a few days before Christmas, Zatanna gave birth to Haylee. She was pretty cute. She had black hair, like both of her parents and she had dark blue eyes like Dick's. She's pretty excitable too.

Haylee didn't stay a single child for long. The next year, Tyler was born. His features were almost exactly the same as his sister's, the shade of blue of his eyes were lighter, like Zatanna's, full with magic and fantasy while his sister's were filled with mysteries and curiosity.

Two years after, in 2022, Kaldur and Amy got married. The wedding was at a resort near Happy Harbor shore. It wasn't too expensive, although Amy's family was pretty rich. I mean she did attend Gotham Academy after all. It was pretty and simple. Kaldur's vows were nice and polite, but sill still a lot of feelings and Amy wouldn't stop crying. Artemis was her maid of honor again while the other girls like Alice, M'gann, Zatanna and Sandie, who she first met at prom, were her bridesmaids. And for Kaldur, Garth was the best man.

In 2023, Tula was welcomed into the world. No, not Tula as in Garth's girlfriend and Kaldur's ex. But as in Tula, Kaldur and Amy's daughter. The couple had named their daughter after the late Tula. Yes, unfortunately, this time Greg and Brandon were right. Aquagirl died and to honor her death, Kaldur and Amy had named their daughter after the brave heroine. She looked nothing like the first Tula but they didn't care. Their daughter had olive skin, like her parents, dark blond hair and pale green eyes like her father's; calm and full of soul. She actually said her first word a few months ago, it was "fish". Dick and Wally had laughed; the irony was too much for them while Kaldur stared in amazement at his daughter.

Fine! I'll leave you alone now, here's the last part of Spitfire for you:

Artemis put the tray of cookies on the picnic table. M'gann had just finished another batch. Wally and her had made a small get together in their garden. It was pretty big but not that huge. The kids were running around, playing tag. The oldest kid there was Lian, who was 7 now.

And as soon as the archer put the food down, a five year old boy came running at her. He was pretty fast for a boy his age. He took a handful of chocolate chip cookies and shoved it in his mouth. He loved eating, the kid that is. Yet, he wasn't chubby at all. "Mommy!" he cried out as he threw his hands in the air, "Can Auntie Megan make some more cookies?" he asked adorably.

Artemis picked up the young boy and tickled him, "Sure sweetheart." She replied, "Make sure your sister doesn't get hurt okay?" the small boy nodded. Artemis let go of him and he went running towards his friends.

The blond woman stared as the kids ran, screaming and laughing with complete and utter joy. Looking at them like that, it made her feel like flying. Never in her entire life had she even thought that she would become a superhero, much less a wife and mother. She stared at her first child. She remembered when she was pregnant with her son. It felt so scary and terrifying, knowing that someone was inside her, growing, getting ready to taking in his first puff of air. She had been so afraid. She didn't want to be like her dad. Wally had told her that that would never happen. He was like that, whenever she was scared and didn't trust herself, he would be there to believe in her when she didn't believe in herself, he would be there to catch her when she fell.

It made life a bit easier knowing he would be there, whether she liked it or not.

What she didn't know was that she was there for Wally as much as he was there for her. For Wally, just knowing she would be the first face he saw in the morning got him up from bed every single day.

That's how they manage in their relationship. They would love each other, be there for as long as possible for each other, whether they needed it or not.

She stared back at her kids. Yes, her kids. The older one, the boy had dark auburn hair, with extremely light olive skin. Then, he faced her way, looking right into her eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. The ever so familiar emerald green color filled her son's eyes. They were exactly the same as his father's. That tended to happen to Artemis sometimes. She couldn't quite believe that he was not only her son, but Wally's as well. To think that when they had first met, they hated each other beyond recognition. Now, she can't even imagine her life without Wally.

A girl had fallen to the ground, snapping Artemis back to reality. The little girl was 2 year old, she had bright red hair that covered her shoulders, her skin was barely even olive color, lighter than Artemis's son and her eyes; they were a deep charcoal gray.

But before Artemis could react, her son quickly helped the little girl up. The girl was crying a bit but then the boy hugged her tightly, lovingly. And although Artemis couldn't actually hear what he was whispering to her she knew it was, "It's alright, big brother's here. It's going to be okay." He liked to refer himself to big brother. It was so sweet; they were like that a lot. It was nice to know that her kids were there for each other as well. It was extremely reassuring.

Leaving them alone, Artemis headed back to the kitchen. It was empty but the oven was still on, cooking more cookies. Artemis sat at on a stool, putting her elbows on the counter. She put her head in her palms and closed her eyes. She took a long, deep breath. She just wanted to be alone for a while.

And that's when arms wrapped around Artemis's waist from behind. She didn't stiffen, she didn't freeze. She just smiled.

Wally lightly kissed her temple, "Another nightmare?" he whispered softly against her skin.

She didn't respond. But he knew very well she was like this when she was shaken up. It's been 12 years since they first met, 12 years since he fell in love. 11 years since the Battle of Shadows. Yet, from time to time, they still had nightmares. It wasn't Psimon. He was in Belle Rêve and always will be. But it was more of a psychological thing. Something to do with trauma. So every now and then, they would wake up, screaming or sweating, panting. That morning, Artemis wasn't screaming. He would have woken up. He knew that she had tried to cover it up. But he knew her too well, sometimes, even Artemis knew that he knew her more than she ever did or will.

"It's okay to be scared," he whispered to her, "But just so you know, I'm here, holding onto you." His grip around her waist became tighter, "And I won't let go."

Artemis was already crying, she lifted her head from her hands and stared right in front of her, "It was horrible." Her voice cracked, "It was the night in Paris." Saying that, he already knew she meant.

He took one of his hands away and brushed her soft, blond hair, which was let down, "It's okay." He said, just as soothingly as his son had. Artemis guessed it was in the genes.

"It's not okay!" she cried out as she got out of his grip and faced him, "You died!"

Wally had to fight back tears, "I know." He mumbled, looking at her straight in the eye, "But it didn't happen. I'm still here," he took her hands in his, "I still love you."

With that, Artemis smiled, as if realizing he really was there, "What on earth would I do without you, Wall-man?" she asked, calming down, she leaned in towards him and kissed him for what felt like forever, she didn't want to let him go, "I love you."

They just stayed like that for a while, staring at each other, "How are the kids?" Wally finally asked.

Artemis couldn't help but smile, "Well Cali fell and started crying and then Chris hugged her." She said in awe. "I just love them when they're like that." Chris and Cali. That's what their names were.

Wally made his way beside her and wrapped his arms around her stomach "And to think a third's coming along." His smiled beamed.

His wife put her hands over his, "Yeah, Samantha's going to be great." They had decided on the name a week ago, Samantha.

"So, are we going to tell the others now?" Artemis added.

Wally kissed her again and smelled her hair. Vanilla, for the past 12 years. "No. For now, it'll be our little secret." He whispered.

"Okay." she said, "Wally?"

"Yes?"

"I love you."

"I love you."

Fin

Oh God, I'm gonna start crying all over again. I can't believe it's finally finished! And just a BTW, Samantha is my sister's name ;) I hope you guys liked it and again, I love you guys so freaking much! I hope to see you guys in my future fics about Spitfire and others and PLEASE REVEIW! And here I am, saying for the very last time: AUREVOIR
