Not much has changed in the past five years. Titans Tower was still standing, even after all this time. Nightwing, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast boy stood before the tower entrance, behind them was a small group of teens, each with extraordinary skills.
The ex-leader of the Titans turned around to face the new youngsters, the others turning with him to address their new recruits.
"Alright my fellow titans! From here on out, this is your new base of operations, your home, and of course, the beacon that stands before Jump city. As your mentors, we as a team will help you out, not just as teachers, not just the heroes you look up to. For being a titan means we're also family, and today we are passing this torch to you." Nightwing spoke out to his new recruits with motivation, with Starfire holding his hand, smiling at him.
The other titans stood in silence as Nightwing gave his speech, each one of them in brand new suits which reflected on their growth as solo heroes.
Nightwing moved himself to Bludhaven as the city's new protector, occasionally working with Batman as their enemies practically operated outside of Gotham too. Starfire moved in with Grayson, but she on the other hand remained as a Titan leader, serving as a guide to the new recruits. Cyborg moved to Washington D.C. due to Sarah's new line of work, now married to her with two adopted children, but that wasn't the only positive thing that came out, for he was now a member of the Justice League, where he works with the finest superheroes such as Superman, Wonder woman, and so on.
As for Raven and Beast boy. . .
"Before we let you guys into the tower, there's one last thing we gotta do. You got anything to add Beast boy?" Nightwing asked the changeling as he gestured him to take the center.
Moving to the center nervously, the green shape-shifter took a deep breath, suddenly turning to Raven.
"Raven could you stand with me?" He asked in a nervous tone. The empath raised an eyebrow, wondering what he was up to before slowly approaching him.
"Now I know what you all are thinking, and yes it's true. I'm Raven's longtime and handsome boyfriend." The changeling confidantly said, causing the newbies to giggle and chuckle at the empath, who blushed red as a tomato.
"Gar. . ." Raven whispered, keeping her eyes on him as he smiled.
"Raven. . . For the past five years, I've come to realise that I'm very lucky to have such a wonderful girlfriend, who has been there for me since the titans were formed. Back then, I was an annoying purple wearing hero who always tried to get you to join our pranks, days out together etc, and today I'm still the annoying, now wearing white, and red hero, who stands before you." Beast boy kept his warm gaze on her as he approached her.
"If you're trying to get me all emotional in front of the newbies, then you're sorely mistaken." Raven gave a cocky grin as she spoke to him.
The newbies giggled, as did Beast boy who returned the smirk. Then his next move caught everyone off guard, kneeling before Raven.
"I knew you'd say that Rae. Which is what I love about you, and I love everything about you. You're kind, smart, beautiful, and I could go on and on about you, but you hear that enough from me." The green hero said as he took out a small box from his pocket, causing Raven to gasp, covering her mouth with her hands.
"So now I ask you this, Rachel Roth. Will you marry this annoying green superhero before you?" Beast boy asked as he opened up the small box, revealing a beautiful silver ring, with three small rubies, shining brightly.
Tears of joy suddenly fell from Raven's violet eyes, her powers causing a few things to levitate off the ground at least a foot. The rest of the old titans smiled wildly as they watched the empath embrace the changeling, who nearly lost his balance as they hugged.
"You okay Raven?" The changeling asked as he stood up, still holding onto her. She looked up smiling, nodding furiously in delight.
"Of course. . . I have you!" Raven then kissed Beast boy before letting him place the engagment ring on her finger, both the newbies, and the older titans cheered as they embraced each other, further cementing a future together.
"Now what do you guys say that we celebrate both an opening, and now an engagment as a team?" Nightwing called out to the new recruits, who raised their voices in unison.
"YEAH!"
Nightwing smiled as he unlocked the main door, raising his hand to signal everyone.
"Titans Go!!"
Once a Titan, always a Titan.
