Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice

Hey guys, well this is it the final chapter of Fade From View, I'm super glad you guys enjoyed this story. And I want to thank each and everyone of you guys for your reviews, faves, and follows. Itt always makes my day to read a new review...now, I made a few changes to the team...hope you guys like it.

Also, I just realized Static wasn't mentioned at all...um...lets say he was, ok? Anyway, Someone mentioned a sequel, which I'm not sure if I should or not.

Yes in my headcanon, Thea from Arrow exists in here too, and she was Arrowette/ Green Arrow's female sidekick before Artemis.

what do you think?

edit: Yes, i did use the quotes from Under the Red Hood,

The team was gathered in the waiting room, deciding to give Batman some space to talk a few things over with Dick. They assumed those things had to do with his plan. They looked up as a red blur apppeared, and stopped before them.

"Uncle B, what're you doing here?" Asked Wally curiously.

"I need to talk to you, in private." Said Barry, Wally lifted an eybrow wondering what this was about. When he noticed Green Arrow walk in not long after, He and Artemis faced each other...they had a feeling they knew what this was about.

Both ex-heros went to their respective mentors.

Once Flash and Wally were out of the team's earshot, Flash immediately embraced his nephew. Wally smiled and hugged him back...

"What were you thinking, you could've died?" Said Barry, the worry clearly evident in his tone. He knew Wally could be reckless but if Dick hadn't gotten there, then...then he would've lost Wally...for good. And that was something Barry would never have forgiven himself for.

"I know...I knew what would happen if I went to help you and Bart, but I couldn't sit around and do nthing. After Jason and Tula died, I quit the hero gig because I was afraid...I was afraid that one day, my friends or you would have to go up to my parents, and tell them I was dead...I was afraid that one day...one day I'd be too slow, and I'd watch one of my friends die...again.

I've always been afraid of being too slow, just as much as I was ashamed of it...when Bart came along, I got extremely jelous. Because he was a real speedster...I always thought I'd never be good enough to be KidFlash, or heck even Flash some day...

But when you and Impulse needed help, I wasn't thinking about any of that...I was thinking of my friends...my family...the people of earth...it reminded me of why I became Kid Flash in the first place...because I wanted to help people..." Explained Wally, he looked up as Barry smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Wally, I'm retiring." Said Flash, Wally's eyes widened?

"Retiring?" He repeated. Flash nodded, still smiling at him.

"Yeah, Iris is going to need all the help she can get with the twins and...lets face it, I'm not getting any younger...besides, I've got a great replacement...you" Wally immediately pinched his arm to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Did his uncle really just say he was retiring and passing down the mantle to him?

"Wally, I'll admit, at first I had my doubts about having a sidekick...but...you changed that, I see a strong, confident, handsome young man, who is capable of handling himself in any situation, who cares about everyone, and works hard to help in any way he can, who makes others happy with his sense of humor, and sharp wit...a true hero isn't measured by how fast he can run...but by the size of his heart..." Said Barry sincerely. Wally sniffled and wiped away his tears, his smile ever present on his face.

"Whats going on gramps?" Asked Bart, a slight defnsive edge in his tone, noticing his older cousin wiping away the tears and wanting to see what was the matter. Barry smirked, it was cute how Bart was being so defensive over Wally.

"Bart, guess what...I'm going to be the new Flash!" Exclaimed Wally, making the others all look over. Bart grinned and glomped Wally.

"So crash cuz!" Exclaimed Bart before looking up at his grandfather.

"You're retiring?" He asked, Flash nodded and ruffled his grandson's thick brown hair.

"Yeah, listen to Flash got it Kid? make sure to have each other's backs and look out for one another." Said Barry, the younger speedsters smiled up at him and glomped him happily...

Artemis smiled before looking up at Green Arrow.

"I can...explain?" Said Artemis nervously, she had a feeling Ollie wasn't going to be as pleased as Barry was.

Ollie looked down at his surrogate neice, he was both angry at their little stunt...although it was very minimal, since he'd already taken his anger out at the JLA meeting. And he was happy Artemis was alive and well...he smiled and hugged Artemis who hugged him tightly...

"I'm sorry Ollie...for everything, for making you worry and for...for everything pretty much." Said Artemis, looking down at the ground ashamed. She'd completely understand if Ollie wanted nothing to do with her...after what she'd done...

"Artemis...you remind me of another girl sidekick I had..." Said Ollie, making Artemis look up curiously.

"Her name was Thea...and she was my little sister, she used to be called Speedy, until Roy came along, and she took the name Arrowette...she was alot like you, she had spunk, she was tough, cunning...she was a good kid...and like you, came from a...not so good family." He explained, Artemis' eyes widened.

"Really?" She asked.

"Trust me Arty, you're lucky you never met my mom...Thea on the other hand..." Ollie turned away, and Artemis hugged him tightly, he didn't need to say anymore...

"When I thought you died...it was like I'd lost my sister all over again...I love you Artemis, you're more than just my sidekick...you're my family, and I don't ever want you doing anything like this again, I can't lose anymore f my kids..." Artemis smiled up at him...before turning away...

"Do you think we might've gotten along Arrowette and I?" Asked Artemis, Ollie tilted his head to the side in contemplation. While Artemis and Thea did have their similarities, they were also vastly different...still, maybe the two girls would've been good friends...he nodded...

"Hey GA...I'm thinking of coming back...not as Artemis though...Artemis was the name of Kid Flash's partner...Flash needs something different." Said Artemis, Ollie lifted an eyebrow wondering where this was going.

Artemis looked down at the ground, she'd never met Thea...but she wanted to honor Ollie's sister and his fallen sidekick.

"You think she'd be mad if I became Arrowette?" She asked, Ollie smiled and ruffled her blond hair.

"No, I think she'd be proud." Said Ollie reassuringly.

In the hospital room, after explaining everything to Bruce...Dick laid there listening intently as Bruce told him everything that had happened while the team had been in Dick's mind.

Bruce stormed the watchtower enraged upon hearing from Tim what had happened. He was going to have a few words with the League members that had stayed here on earth.

"Why didn't you keep a better eye on him?" He groweled, glaring daggers at Green Arrow, who walked up to him and was glaring back at him.

"You think we didn't" Asked Green Arrow, he and Batman were glaring at each other intensely, with Superman and Black Canary behind each of them to hold them back.

"When Dick was younger, you were always sure to keep an eye on him, so why didn't you do it now!" He yelled,

"Because he's not a kid anymore! yes what happened to Jason was horrible, believe me I know what its like to have one of your sidekicks die right before your eyes...I watched my baby sister die right infront of me and I couldn't do anything about it. I was overprotective of Roy...and look what happened...the same will happen to you too bats.

He's not Jason, he doesn't need to be taken care of...theres gotta be a reason why he came up with that plan...but Bats..." Ollie's features softened, as did Bruce's once he'd thought about what Green Arrow was saying.

"Don't be too hard on him...whatever reasons he had...I'm angry, at what he did, infact once he's all better I'm going to wack him upside the head for what he did...but he probably had his reasons." Said Green Arrow, Batman walked away, thinking about what the Archer said.

"I don't know what to say...I'm sorry Bruce." Said Dick, before Bruce smiled and hugged him...

"Don't be, we've both made alot of mistakes but...together, we can try to fix them." Said Bruce, Dick nodded hugging him tightly. Bruce held his eldest son, whom he almost lost...he was greatful to Dick's team for what they'd done.

They parted, and Bruce ruffled Dick's dark hair.

"Hey Bruce, since we're talking about changes...you think I could get some fingerstripes on my costume." He said lightheartidly, making Bruce roll his eyes and ruffle his hair again.

"I'll see you tommorrow, I love you son."

"Love you too dad..." Said Dick, smiling up at his father. He felt so calm and peaceful...something he hadn't felt in so long. Bruce walked past the team, who went in to go check in on Dick...when Dick was feeling better, he'd make his announcement to the team...that they were now all full memebers of the Justice League, but for now...he'd let them all reunite...

He looked back at Dick on the bed...his son was special in so many ways...he knew from the moment Dick put on the Robin suit that his son was destined for greatness. He smiled as Dick caught his eye...

Bruce stood in the cave, wondering where Dick was.

"If you can't suit up fast in homebase, I'm concerned how you'd do on the feild." He called out, beside him Alfred chuckled.

"Perhaps he's primping, I recall a certain someone else doing the same sort of thing, when they were younger." Said the old butler, casting a small, knowing smile to Bruce, who turned away...obviously not wanting to admit that was true. They turned to the tiny nine year old who jumped down before them.

"My word!" Exclaimed Alfred in surprise.

"Ha!, I got ya!" Exclaimed Dick smirking up at Bruce.

"Would've if I hadn't caught you sneaking behind the computer." Said Bruce with s small smirk, he thought it was kind of cute how his son thought he pulled a fast one on him.

"Nuh-uh, I got you." Said Dick, still smirking, Bruce shook his head and ruffled Dick's hair affectionately.

"How does it feel?" He asked, smiling proudly as Dick did a series of jabs and flips.

"Awesome! check me out I'm Robin the Boy Wonder!" Exclaimed Robin, this was real, he was an actual sidekick...he really, really was!he was the sidekick of the awesomest superhero ever...he only hoped that his parents were smiling down at him and were proud...

He smiled up at Bruce...his adopted father, whom he loved more than anything,

"C'mon Bats, we've got badguys that need chasing." Said Robin as he rushed to the Batmobile and jumped onto the hood. His hand on his hips, as he struck a heroic pose...today was going to be a great day...it was going to be the day his life changed for the better.

"This is the best day of my life." Said Dick enthusiastically.
