Ch 45

It was a sad day, but it was also a day filled with possibilities towards the future. As the five Titans stood on the roof, they knew it was time to say goodbye but not forever, until they meet again.

"Man I'm going to miss this place, built with my own two hands," said Cy as Karen smiled sadly at him.

"I got to hand it to you Sparky you did some great work with the tower."

"Thanks honey," he smiled.

"It feels like a dream," said Changeling. "I mean we grew up in this place. I will always consider it my first real home."

"Oh I very much wish it would have lasted forever but I know it is traditional of earthlings to move on once they get older," Starfire said as she wiped a tear away from her eye as Nightwing held her close.

"You know I couldn't have asked for a better group to fight beside. It's been an honor and a privilege to fight along with my family," said Robin.

"I knew this day would come eventually," said Raven. "Ironically I'm glad I lived to see it. I came here an insecure, scared girl, who was afraid of her emotions, doomed to be alone forever. I didn't know I would meet four amazing beings that I would befriend and eventually call my family. Azar I didn't even know I'd fall in love," she said as she smiled at Changeling, "and that love would result in me finally being able to feel without bringing destruction to anything in sight."

"So that's why you're dressed in white friend Raven?" said Starfire.

"I found my leotards, cloaks, and boats in white this morning in my closet," said Raven.

"So sex set you free?" asked Karen.

"Wait a minute, how did you—Raven blushed.

"You've been with the boy for years now, and your outfit was blue. Now it's white. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out. I'm lying. You left Spark's laptop on in your room Raven, and I went into online chat to see if he as up and I saw your room Raven. I heard moaning in the background, and immediately turned it off."

"Oh uh sorry about that," said BB. "Sometimes I use his computer to check my emails and stuff. I think I forgot to turn it off," he blushed.

"Ok well that's something I could have learned to live without hearing," said Cy as they all laughed it off to break the uncomfortable tension. "I think I'll get a new computer and burn my old one."

Nightwing and Starfire were the first couple to leave the tower. They were taking off towards Tamaran to visit for a while before going to Gotham, so Batman and Alfred could meet Starfire and get to know his fiance.

The alien princess squeezed her friends tightly, letting a few tears fall as she watched Nightwing hug their friends. They took each other's hand and headed towards the T-ship that Cyborg expected back the minute they got back to earth.

Once the ship was out of sight, the remaining couples turned towards each other and smiled sadly. It was time for Cyborg and Karen to go. They were going to New York to see Karen's family and check off the remaining things on their wedding to do list.

"Well take care of yourself Vic," said Changeling as he smiled at the guy he considered his big brother. "I'll miss you."

"You to green bean," he smiled. "I'll miss you man. Coming in for a hug!" he shouted as he picked the up Changeling and squeezed him tight.

Changeling hugged him back, and they separated as Changeling turned towards Karen. "You take care of him Karen. It's been a blast getting to know you all these years."

"You know I'll take good care of him," she smiled. "It's been interesting getting to know you all these years to. Thank you for bringing Vic and I together again."

"Hey I'm a sucker for love, what can I say?" he smiled.

Cyborg smiled at Karen and Changeling before he looked to Raven. "You going to miss me little lady?" he smiled.

"Eh? We weren't that close," she smiled.

"Di—did you just make a joke?" asked Cy. "Oh no you are not corrupting her Changeling."

"Dude she's funny all on her own," said Changeling.

Cyborg hugged her. "Take care of yourself and green bean."

She smiled. "I will," she said as they let go.

Changeling and Raven watched them fly off in Cyborg's T-car. Turning towards each other, they smiled.

"You know I'm glad I'm leaving this place with you. I always worried that when we'd all go our separate ways that I ended up alone," said Changeling.

"I feel the same way Garfield," she smiled as she took her hand in his. "So, are you ready to go back to Azarath?

"Anywhere I'm with you is where I want to be Raven. I love you."
