FICKLE FATE.
Tim sat staring moodily out of the window, Cassie had finally drawn a line under their pseudo-relationship and said no more.
She'd confronted him and spat angry words - and he'd never been more relieved that she didn't understand him. She accused him of wanting to be in control - to try and control her and their destinies; she really had no idea just how wrong she was.
He'd been with Wonder Girl for one reason and one reason only - she was a way to be near the memory of Kon. His lips, his hands, his hair - all of it had touched Cassie at some point, and he could almost feel the memory of his touch imprinted on her - it was as close as he was going to come.
In a way he supposed he ought to feel bad for using her like he had, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it - he'd lost so much; his Dad, Steph and then Kon - he just couldn't take any more, and had reached out for something - anything he could hold on to and keep for himself.
He knew if Cassie knew the truth - she'd leave the Tower and the Titans and never return; if she knew that Tim and Kon had been edging towards something more than friendship - that their lips had touched once, just once, before the damn fated battle - that he'd promised to break it off with her after the fight, she would be devestated and probably never recover; certainly any chance at a future friendship with her would be impossible.
She thought he made the clones because he missed his best friend, that he desperately wanted her to be happy with her lover returned - she had no idea that he wanted Kon just for himself - best friend and more.
Sighing miserably, he closed his eyes and lay his head down, wondering what Fate, the fickle Bitch, would take from him next.
