Well this is the end of the story. Thank YOU for being with me on this journey. I am going to end it here as my outline planned, but reserve the right to write little oneshots from this universe. I do have a new story in the works called...Sting that will go live when I have written five chapters. I have a completed outline though. It is a little darker so look for it in the Mature filter. I want to thank everyone who reviewed, you kept this story going and I am amazed at the speed I wrote some weeks thanks to your input! Let me know anything else you would like to read while I am open to suggestions!

Epilogue: 6 months later

I took more time to do my makeup today since I had recently gotten a new eyeshadow palette from Bee after we went on a shopping trip in her city. Retail therapy was a way we were connecting and took turns which city we went to with the condition we each picked something for the other at the end. I think she did this for me more than herself, but I knew she enjoyed when I picked out something that matched her style. The rose gold hoop earrings had been my greatest success since they were the right size to bring out her cheekbones. Girl time was a nice development in my life which we always invited Raven, but it was not always her mood. I often did bring her something back from Barnes & Noble though whether it be a celestial journal or a vampire book that I kept in the bag so Beast Boy would not tease her over the cover. I could see their appeal, but I did not need to read of bad boys with a romantic side.

My girl time was not the only thing that had gotten better. After my meeting with the Big Three, J'onn had approached me to develop an extraterrestrial union with monthly meetings to help promote protection against discrimination and support transitions to earth life. I had been hesitant at first, but after truly talking to him and not just having him in my head, I discovered that he was genuine good person and that talking about my experiences was cathartic with someone who understood. It had been nice to go up to the base and really establish connections with others. It also created a halo of protection around me if I ever encountered the Batman. That had not been a forefront issue, but I never liked seeing him and knowing what he would like to do. His relationship with Robin had become more strained as well as Robin started to think of transitioning to a new hero under a new name free of that association.

Robin had become a better friend, but he had gotten the hint I could not offer him the things he considered a relationship. I had not directly told him I was dating someone, but he was not blind that when I came home from San Diego my hair would be messed up and any makeup I had worn severely smudged. He did not comment on this, I believe that he did not wish to know the truth. He could blame it all on flying except in the times my shirt was different or I stole a distinctly male sweatshirt. Cyborg teased me and Beast Boy caught on. Raven knew and asked me simple questions like if he made me happy and if he was nice to his mother. It was easy since most of her questions I could say yes to with a smile. She also helped me when I wanted to chose an outfit, she was down to sit on my bed and decide between my two favorites. We still did the yoga class and some Zumba classes once in a while. It was not her music, but she did have a grace that helped her flow with the music and some of the chanting reminded her of a coven. I was happy that she was able to find some sort of group outside of the Titans like I had both in citizens and in the realm of super heroes.

When I felt like I had done everything I wanted to my face I put down some layers of setting spray since the windburn always turned my eye make up smoky. It was a look as my classmates would say. That might be the biggest development is the fact I had started going to school at San Diego City Community College for history classes. It gave me a weekly opportunity to fly down there to see Jay. It was also nice just to learn about the planet that I called home. I decided that next semester I would take a geography class next semester so I could learn more about the physical side than just the people. Though people were fascinating, I was considering adding a psychology class just to understand people better. The English classes seemed like another thing to consider, but I could read it just fine. I needed to spend more time with people to understand the slang and nuances. It was getting better, Stella had a cute accent according to my classmates who of course were not aware of my true identity. It was a lot of fun being around normal people and blending in. I was in several group chats where they exchanged memes about history. It was a wonder to be part of earth in a way most people were able to experience it. It made me happier and more human. It also allowed me to wear out all my civilian outfits. My classmates had worn anything from pjs to business suits so it made me feel comfortable to wear whatever I felt like. It added an incentive to shop and pick up trends. I had enjoyed the crop sweater trend and got my own though the boyfriend flannel trend was my favorite since I enjoyed wearing Jay's clothes when they smelled of him. It was like the forests of Tamaran after the great monsoons we received in the year. Today we were going to try and find the best place to see the stars in San Diego to find our new spot so I was excited.

I only went to classes twice a week since one (My world History which was very tedious in changing countries I was learning) was online, but it wasn't unusual I would make a weekend trip to attend a family barbeque. His family did make impressive food and I was starting to gain the trust to help out. There was one next weekend which I was happy to attend.

"You know there are plenty of nice community colleges in Jump too?" Robin said from my doorway. I had left it open after I got dressed in case Raven walked by. He had not seen why I had decided to go all the way to San Diego for classes I could find in Jump. If the commute bothered me I might consider, but it gave me a biweekly cover to see Jay and I truly liked the campus.

"Yes, but do they have a dolphin as their mascot?" I asked since I found that a charming part of the campus. I had bought a few campus t shirts specifically for the dolphin graphic.

"No, but it would be nice to have you closer in case we need you." He said and I knew that this was going to be the same discussion we had when I first started going.

"It makes minutes difference once I start flying over the ocean, Robin. As much as I love Jump it is nice to have another place I am familiar where I can just act like I am a History Major. I go part time already so I am available whenever I am needed by the city."

"I get it, having a different space can be healthy. I just worry about you all alone going to a different city in a not great part of town."

"Robin, I have friends down there and I make sure to avoid all vulnerable spaces like you taught me. I might be safer there than Jump since I don't have a target on my back."

"Yeah that alternate identity can be nice.." he looked at me like he had more to say, but thought better of it. "Can we do a sparring session tomorrow? I was curious about testing out some Kamas and they seem comparable to a few of your weapons."

"I would love to, friend Robin. Though I have to get going?" I said and grabbed my purple backpack coated in funny buttons from Beast Boy. He had called me a nerd when I said I wanted to start going to school, but when I had gotten my backpack he started to put random nerdy pins on it when I left it out.

"Oh yeah, well have a good class. See you tonight." He said and wandered out of my way. It wasn't completely unawkward between us, but it was an improvement.

I took off for the class and in very little time was I over the docks that signaled I needed to make a left turn. I flew covertly to the campus and put my ring on. It was a nice class, American History though my professor liked to go on tangents about his hatred for certain presidents which were comedic since he resembled half of them. Though when the class ended 75 minutes later I walked my female friends to their cars. They still clutched their keys between their knuckles since the sun had gone down. I doubted they would do that if they knew who I really was, but I knew it made them feel safer regardless. When I had stopped at the last car, the loud scream of a motorcycle entered the parking structure. He pulled up in the spot next to us and I waved goodbye to my friend as he turned off the motor.

"Hey Cutie, are you ready?" he said when he took of his helmet. His helmet hair was when he was most attractive since it went every direction and just was so free.

"Of course, Babe." I said and gave him a kiss before taking my helmet from the side. I was ready to explore this next part of our time in San Diego.

"You might have to start doing school full time if that's how you greet me." He said and laughed when I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Yeah yeah, I mean that or I can just move in to your apartment part time."

"That is on the table, Gorgeous."

"Really? I must say you having a bed instead of a futon is much more attractive to sleep in."

"Hey the futon was temporary, it was also functional."

"Functional in messing up your back so often."

"I mean your back rubs definitely made it more bearable." He said and kissed my forehead in a tender way that made me melt. "Come on smarty pants, I want you to see this place I scouted out." I kissed him one more time and climbed on happy to hold on while he took me wherever we were going.
