If I surrender...

[anonymous]

I die with the others.

Re: If I surrender... [OP]

Sorry. Sort of accidentally clicked submit. XD

Seriously, who doesn't completely and utterly love Home Front? Artemis + Robin = my two favourite characters, hence the uber fangirlyness. XD I especially loved it when Artemis was alone and her awesome line: If I surrender, I die with the others.

So. Something where one of the team members (doesn't have to be Artemis, since she already had that line in the episode) chooses to surrender and die with the team instead of going for help, either because they think it's too risky or impossible or there isn't anyone left to help them. Run with it, anons. Make it sweet, make it touching, make it wrenchingly, achingly sad - maybe the team has been captured and the Justice League can't be contacted, maybe there's a time limit like there was in Home Front, maybe it's this huge apocalyptic scenario where only the team is left.

Bonus for Roy joining in as well. (Bonusbonus for Roy choosing to die with the team.)

Gah this is such an awesome prompt. I really want to fill it! But any other people that want to fill it, please do because I'm not sure I'll have the time to.

Patient anon, I want to take a crack at this. You have not been forgotten.

He is the odd one out, even now. They all have their wards, but Ollie has his replacement, that Artemis girl, and it occurs to Roy that perhaps it’s a good thing that there are seven of them and only six of the League here in the Cave - not to say that the six couldn’t destroy their wards plus one in a matter of moments, but the split second it took them to realize that there actually was a spare in the mix had given him a chance to get the hell out of there, and though his heart aches to have abandoned them all, he knows it was his only choice. Hesitation would have meant death for them all. At least now, his disappearance has forced the League to delay the executions until they can find him.

“No loose ends,” Batman had growled.

Truth be told, Roy has no idea what he is doing, or what the fuck is going on. They had been in the middle of Wally’s birthday party when the zeta tubes had flashed a strange color, and without warning, their mentors had materialized in their midst. But instead of congratulating the speedster, or even

Oh yes, I’m positively quaking. Because although my powers are great enough to let me take control of the likes of Batman and the Martian Manhunter, I would never be able to do that to you, Roy dear, you’re much too strong-minded. But really, let’s be serious now. I won’t be playing your little game. It’s much more fun to watch you play mine from a comfortable distance. You do know you’re playing my game, right, Roy?

Roy grits his teeth in frustration.

So do it already, he challenges. If it would be so damn easy, just do it. Control my mind.

Oh but that’s no fun, the voice clucks disapprovingly. You misunderstand me, Roy…but I’m always misunderstood, so don’t feel too special about it. I don’t want to destroy the Justice League. As I said, I’m interested in a level playing field, so killing you all would be no good either, and then I’d have to be so very involved, playing all the parts myself, when I’d much rather make a few directorial gestures and sit back to watch the show, you see. I’d just like to eliminate some of

Now that his fate is set, that his feet have only one destination, Roy’s mind has hundreds. He can’t keep a thought in his head long enough to follow it to a conclusion, except the one that weighs down atop all the others: I’m going to die. He thinks of his childhood, of his training, of his nights on patrol with Ollie, of the first time he met Robin and Wally and Kaldur, of his stint as a lone ranger, of his failures and his accomplishments and the fact that this will not be a heroic death except in that he is choosing to approach by his own free will instead of letting someone else drag him to the scaffold. But of course he couldn’t have let that happen. If he is going to die, he is going to live his last few moments of life for himself, with the people who matter most to him. He only regrets that by the time Ollie will be able to understand him again, it will be too late to say any of the many things he never got around to saying

Roy can feel Superman approaching him without even looking. And he knows it’s ridiculous, but some part of him is furious that even now he won’t get the recognition from Ollie that he knows he deserves, not even in death, but before he has too much time to think about it, the Man of Steel is wrapping his arms around his weak human frame in a sort of twisted hug that gets tighter and tighter by the second until Roy can’t breathe, can’t see, can’t think, can’t feel the snapping of his ribs as they splinter and break and pierce his lungs and end it all.

In the soft black that happens in the split second before the true black, someone is clapping.

Sorry, clearly remembering to title is not my strong suit.

oh god, crying forever

This was beautifully done author!anon, I knew it wasn't going to be a happy ending but, gah! And Kaldur nodding at Roy when he entered and basically understanding that they're screwed. And I can only imagine how messed up the JL will be when they regain control and see what has happened to their kids. I have a feeling mister mystery alien is going to die horribly in the future.

Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod can I just say this is so beautiful and sad with such a fanstastic if angsty ending that I can barely think coherently over the thought that SOMEONE ACTUALLY FILLED THIS AND IT'S BETTER THAN ANYTHING I COULD'VE EVER IN A HUNDRED LIFETIMES IMAGINED OR READ
