Angel was gently shaken awake once they arrived at Mount Justice.

"W-what?" She mumbled, disoriented.

"We're home." Nightwing said, a smile on his face.

Once the foursome got out of the bioship, Angel was overwhelmed by everyone's greetings.

"You're alive!"

"See, I told you they were wrong!"

"Angel! It's so great to see you ok!"

"Superboy! Come see who just arrived!"

But the best was when Hawkwoman Zeta-Beamed to the Cave and swept her protégé up in a massive hug.

"Don't scare me like that again!" Shayera warned as she held Angel at arm's length, inspecting her to see that she was alright.

"Well, it's not like I had a choice." Angel chuckled, though there was a layer of stress and weariness underneath it.

Seeing how strained she was, Shayera told her to go to bed. Angel protested for a few minutes, but finally gave in, secretly relieved.

No one really noticed that she was still holding on tightly to Jack's staff.

Angel practically fell into bed, her eyes closing instantly as she hit the mattress. The night was calm, and no nightmares came to haunt her.

Several times, Nightwing and Hawkwoman came to check on her, but she seemed fine, so they left her.

A few hours after their return, Kid Flash, Artemis, Nightwing, Miss Martian, Aqualad and Superboy met up in the mission-room to discuss Grim Reaper with Shayera and Batman.

"We've conducted a few tests on the body." The Dark Knight said, his cape hiding his body as usual. "He doesn't seem to be human, and our best guesses are an alien, or a drastically mutated man. However, the first option seems unlikely, as neither Martian Manhunter, Superman nor our two Green Lanterns have ever seen such an alien before. We haven't found any leads on a human life either."

Nightwing frowned. "So… We don't know anything about him at all?"

"We don't even know if it was male, though the body structure suggests it." Shayera said.

"Well, since I couldn't read his mind when he was invading Angel's, I think he was probably an alien from a very far off planet with telepathic abilities, though how he arrived on Earth is beyond me." M'gann chipped in.

"So, what should we do?" Artemis asked.

"Nothing. Make sure Angel stays in a stable environment and don't mention the Grim Reaper to her. She's probably very fragile at the moment." Batman growled. "She doesn't need to know we're pursuing this case either, especially since so far it's been completely devoid of any info whatsoever."

The senior team members nodded in understanding.

Batman turned and swept off towards the Zeta Tubes.

"Well, he seems to be in a good mood." Wally remarked.

"Think about it," Artemis said. "His protégé just went to rescue a team member who we all thought was dead, and didn't know where he was. To top it all off, he doesn't know anything on a case. Of course he's gonna be grumpy."

Wally shrugged. "True, I guess."

M'gann sighed. "Well, I guess we should do what he says."

Nightwing nodded.

"We have to keep things normal, for her sake."

Two weeks later…

"Angel?"

"Mhm?"

Angel was flat on her back in civvies, staring up at the sky above her. Robin lay next to her, sunglasses on his nose as usual.

Nowadays, the couple often retreated to the small island Angel had found those

Life had returned to normal, and Angel was glad. No one talked about Grim Reaper, or Rogue for that matter, except for his funeral.

She had tried not to cry, but what could she do? He had spent his last moments saving her.

But Robin had supported her through all of it. He was the only thing she didn't want to go back to normal.

Nothing was more precious than the time they spent together for Angel, and she wanted it to stay that way.

"-Identity."

With a blush, she realized she had drifted off into dreamland.

"Sorry, Robin. Can you repeat that?" She mumbled, her cheeks still red.

But he just chuckled before getting serious again.

"I asked Batman if it was ok to tell you my secret identity."

Angel stared at him in shock. She knew that Batman was extremely strict about when it came to his family's secret identities. The fact that Robin had asked if he could reveal his to Angel was shocking to say the least, though the gesture touched her.

"So what did he say?" She asked.

Robin stared up at the sky for a few more instants, but Angel soon saw the way his mouth was twitching that he was resisting the urge to laugh.

She hit him, not too hard on the shoulder and started laughing herself.

"Tell me!"

Robin started cracking up at her reaction, but finally calmed himself down enough and said, "Well, as long as you don't reveal it to any Team members or villains, you should be safe."

Angel laughed again. "I think I can handle it."

Robin smiled, and placed his hand on her cheek. She closed her eyes and leaned into his touch, but they soon fluttered open again.

"So, can I actually see your eyes before you tell me who you are?" She asked with a grin.

"Go ahead Angel." Robin's smile faded, but he didn't look upset. Just… Serious.

Tentatively, almost hesitantly, Angel reached towards his face. Her fingers wavered in the air as she neared his sunglasses.

She didn't know why she was being so cautious. What was she expecting?

"It's alright." Robin breathed, his warm breath caressing her hand.

More confident now, she held one side of the dark shades gingerly, and slowly slid them off.

She took in a breath as her eyes fell upon his.

They were the most beautiful shade of blue, a mix between dark and light, an ocean and a pool of water. Now that she looked closer, they were the exact same shade as her feathers, and the sky above them. Framed by full lashes and paired with his raven-black hair, they were the most beautiful things she had ever seen. For a moment, she just stared, forgetting to breathe.

"Angel?" Robin asked anxiously, breaking her out of her daze. "You ok?"

She shook her head in an effort to clear it. "Yeah, it's just… Wow."

Robin chuckled, a blush spreading across his face as he ruffled his hair self-consciously.

"And I thought you were handsome with the sunglasses." Angel added, a smile playing across her lips.

Robin laughed again, this time in relief. "Still up for my secret ID?"

"You bet."

"Well… My name's Timothy Drake, but you can call me Tim."

"Tim Drake." Angel said, the unfamiliar name rolling around her tongue. But she smiled as she realized how much she loved saying it. "You know, this may sound cliché, but it fits you."

"Really?" Ro-Tim sounded surprised.

"Yea. I never would have pegged you as the 'John' or 'Peter' type." She joked.

Tim smiled at her, and she once again forgot how to breathe. Once she recalled her name, she wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his chest.

"I can't believe I was missing so much." She murmured.

Tim raised his hand and stroked her feathers lightly. "Me too."

"But then again, I'm not the one with the eyes like sky." She corrected, smiling.

"Well, you are gorgeous too." Tim said, a low chuckle rumbling through him.

"True." She said, pretending to be haughty. "There's no way you could compete with me beauty."

Tim laughed, before lifting her chin up to kiss her.

Once they came up for air, he finally murmured, "I love you."

Angel felt a thrill go through her at hearing him say those three little words.

"I love you too." She said before kissing him again.

Thought I should end it on a romantic note ^^. But do not fear, Angel will be seen again in my next fanfic, 'Simply Cursed' as one of the main characters!

And because I'm so nice, I'm putting a little preview for you guys underneath this author's note! Enjoy!

Wotan chuckled as he saw the assembled heroes before him.

"I see that your little Team has grown since I last saw you, Nightwing." The sorcerer said, his voice heavily accented.

Nightwing's hands tightened around his Eskrima sticks, electricity crackling at their ends.

"Alpha Squad, go!"

Like a huge tidal wave, the eight heroes launched themselves at Wotan.

But the Viking sorcerer yelled out a spell, and they all flew backwards as a giant explosion surged from him.

"You're not the only one who can use magic, Wotan!" Zatanna growled as she got up.

She opened her mouth to pronounce an incantation, but she was soon flying through the air once again and hit the wall with a sickening thud.

"Beasts, the lot of you." Wotan said in disgust.

But then his red and black eyes glimmered with interest. "That actually seems like a very accurate description…" He mused.

By now, the team had staggered to their feat, eyes gleaming with defiance.

Superboy and Wondergirl exchanged looks and nodded.

At the exact same time, they threw themselves at the sorcerer, fists raised.

But both Angel and Zatanna saw Wotan's mouth moving.

"No!" The sorceress cried, stepping forward with an outstretched hand.

But it was too late.

Wotan finished his spell, and a huge surge of magical energy flew at the Team. There was a loud explosion, and everything went black.

The first chapter should be up by tomorrow!
