(holds Bart and cries)

oh. this was just so sad! I wish he could've saved Kon. I wish someone could've saved him.

(sighs)

And while I'm wishing, I'd like full tuition.

Great job!

*Cuddles the Bart*

All I could think of was how Bart must have felt, being too slow to get back to reality to warn everybody... Poor boy.

I'd like to get in on your wishes...

Thanks for reading and commenting! ^^

:-( I don't know how you turned Bart, of all people, into an angstmonkey, but...guh. I just wanna hold him now. xD Muchmuchmuch love for this. I don't see anything involving the boys that doesn't throw Tim in much; it's nice to get Bart's edge on Kon's death, because, well, DC is shit at remembering they were best friends. xD

Pfft Tim.... I mean <3 Tim. I'm just joking. I'm good at making things sad, I'm just a depraved soul I guess. xD.

Kon and Bart were BFF's too, fuck you DC for forgetting that.

My, this was perfect. This is the sort of angst I do like, the kind that's thrown in at the right moment, as opposed to having them constantly beat themselves over something seven months after it happened when it doesn't really fit their personality at all. If you're gonna give a kid like Bart angst, give him it where it'd actually fit.

I love how you portrayed Bart's actual power, and the turmoil he's going through at that time. I've read lots on Tim's reaction to what happened to Kon, so it's really nice seeing Bart's as well.

In all, thanks for giving me a heavy feeling at the pit of my stomach. Good job =)

Yeah, I liked and disliked the Bart series of Flash because he was too angsty... at the wrong time. I mean, he was a person who knew how to deal with life, and the deaths that came with living in that moment. Keep the memory alive and move on with his life having become a better person because of that deceased person's affect on his life. And they just made him all mopey all the time. I appreciate how much you enjoyed this, I enjoyed writing this despite making Bart all kicked puppy like.

I was kind of sick of seeing Tim angst, because Tim is a bat and bat's angst all the time. Bart was friends with Kon too and yet there's surprisingly little with him being sad about Kon's death around.

Thank you for reading and commenting, it really means a lot to me. <3

I'm glad I was able to evoke emotion from my readers... but it makes me sad that I made you tear up! *Hugs*

Thank you for reading (multiple times)! I'll write some happy Bart next time, I promise!
