Eventually, we were all cleaned up and dressed once again.
The two girls were walking alongside me as we stepped through a portal back to my world, appearing in a small secluded grove. It was a few minutes away from the nearest path, but the place was quite inaccessible for anyone without the ability to fly, or if they came equipped with power tools to bust their way in. Still, a quick hop and a leisurely stroll through the forest later, we found ourselves walking towards an amusement park.
It was Tuesday, so there weren't too many other people here, even though we had arrived a little later than we had intended.
As we passed through the gates, I reached into my pocket and pushed the button to activate the vibrator, grinning as Gwen stumbled and leaned into my side. I looked at her and grinned, watching her blush as we continued to walk through the park.
We started things small, with some of the walking attractions. We walked past a few dioramas of local attractions as we chatted. Gwen told us about how her father was doing now that he had learned of her powers and the way that the city had been reacting to the announcement of her innocence.
Her father took it surprisingly well, teasing her about following him into the 'family business' apparently his side of the family had been lawmen and bounty hunters for several generations. He hadn't been happy about her lack of a support team though, but his reaction had been more in line with helping her liason with the police force in a more official capacity.
She wasn't an agent of the law, not really, but she had a priority line to the police and she now had permits to carry certain weapons into combat if she needed them. She asked me if I could put together a few new things for her including paralytic laden webs that she could use for safer takedowns and webbing that lasted until a specific counter-agent could be applied.
She had even spoken to Janet, who was quite happy that her pseudo-protege had cleared her name. She had, however, asked to meet Gwen's new potential boyfriend. She had seen through Gwen's explanation of a new technician almost instantly and quickly managed to get the entire bizarre adventure out of the young woman, including the confusing relationship she had ended up in.
Raven, on the other hand, told us about how the team had been taking the revelation of her demonic heritage.
Well, apparently. The worry over the previous week had mostly been due to Raven's immense jump in power. There had been a fight with Plasmius that Raven ended decisively, and the others were sort of struggling with the fact that their team had what amounted to a superman.
Raven may not be as powerful as the man of steel himself but between the power that she did have and the flexibility with which she could use it, it had been making the others feel a little redundant in comparison.
They had a meeting about it over the weekend, taking the time to talk out their issues and even consider some upgrades. Robin had turned away any permanent augmentations, but he had been more than willing for Cyborg to work on a more sustainable version fo the Red X suit while he worked on an upgrade himself.
Starfire was actually a part of that project. She had remembered how I had mainly been interested in her for the possibility of developing technologies based on her biology and Cyborg had become quite interested in the prospect.
Terra had apparently become interested in some earth elementalism when Raven had brought it up, and after the first introductory sessions had discovered that it had massively aided her control over her powers.
The resultant control had been enough for Terra to turn on Slade the next day, revealing the man's hideout to the other Teen Titans and heling them take him in.
Slade hadn't stood a chance against the united Titans, being taken down in short order once they knew where to find him.
It had resulted in some strain with the other members, especially with Beast Boy given his burgeoning relationship with Terra, but she was still welcomed as a Titan especially since they understood how important her control was to her.
During a lull in our conversation, Gwen grabbed both of our hands and dragged us behind one of the exhibits. Looking around to confirm what her Spider-Sense was telling her.

I slowly lowered her from the wall, taking a moment to push the balls back into her as I did. I took a moment to give her a towel to clean up wiping own my own face with some hand-towels that we then packed away.
Sympathetic magic had us all becoming a little paranoid about that sort of thing. Honestly, for things like this, it wasn't really a big deal, sympathetic without serious emotional significance were quite weak and collapsed quite quickly, but we all wanted to get into the habit of that sort of thing as soon as possible.
There was magic that could break sympathetic links, but without the object being right there, it was a lot more difficult.
From there we moved onto the rides. The roller coaster didn't really interest anyone, so we skipped that, but we quickly found other things to do.
As the day drew to a close, we fund ourselves on ferris wheel, watching the sun set.
Well, not all of us.
~~ CENSORED ~~
As soon as we got out of the cabin, we moved quickly, leaving the park almost at a run before finding a quiet place to portal out, back to the base.
Now free from prying eyes, Raven wrapped us in her astral form, spiriting us all the way to my room.
