MEANWHILE

Atlas was about to plunge the blade in the clones heart only for him to be pulled into white light. Conner sated there in disbelief.

THE WATCHTOWER

Lightning Rod: so he just vanished?

Conner: just like that.

Kaldur: I have a theory.

Nightwing: you don't get a lot of those.

Kaldur: what if Atlas is merely trapped. And this apple is the key. Once you closed the box, he disappeared. What if he can only appear when the apple is exposed. Only then he can appear and inflict harm.

Donna: we need to get rid of it.

Tim walked in with Cassie.

Donna: Cassie!

She hugged her sister.

MEANWHILE

Roy stood in front of Patrick's memorial with his two year old daughter.

Roy: Lian, this is your uncle. His name was Patrick Lance. (Sigh) I wish he were here to see you.

Lian: Pa-Patwick?

Roy: looked down at his daughter in shock, then he teared up.

Roy: yes. That was his name.

Artemis walked to him.

Artemis: you ok?

Roy: Lian just said her first word.

Artemis: awww. What was it.

Roy: (he turned to her with tears in his eyes) Patrick.

Artemis's smile faded. Tears formed in her eyes.

Artemis: I just- I just wish he were here. Two years later and it's still yet to feel real.

Roy: Patrick will always fight beside us. Look over us.

Artemis: your right.

Wally: ok. Just remember to come home when you do.

Donna: (she turned around) Wally, I'm sorry I haven't been home recently, it's jus-

Wally: no! It's not that.

Donna: than what is it?

Wally tried to speak only for the alarm to go off.
