Epilouge.
A crowd of people surrounded a large cemetery, crosses stood over every grave.
A small tent was erected over the newest one and the sounds of sobbing and grieving could be heard.
A priest stood at the front of a podium and spoke. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, we return this body to the place of its making. Let the soul of this kind and loving young woman ever rest in the hands of the almighty. Let her be content in his presence. She will never be forgotten. We commit her body to the ground."
The assistants lowered her casket into the ground and two military men folded the American flag and handed it to Vypra's parents.
Ayane squeezed Gavin's hand tightly as she sobbed watching her sister buried so young. "Why Gavin, why'd this happen. She was only nineteen, she had so many plans. I wish I could have spent more time with her."
Gavin nodded. "I do too. But you know, I'm going to make sure you're not alone. All of us will."
Ayane smiled. "I know Gavin, I know."
The Phanthers left the cemetery and took Ayane to their base and revealed to her the new room they had built. It had a wall full of stuffed animals, several books, a computer, a nice comfy bed and toys. Ayane loved toys, but she wasn't allowed any in the ward. She ran into the room and enveloped herself in everything. She then hugged every last member of the team. "Thank you so much everybody this is more than I ever needed or wanted." She started crying tears of joy then wiped them away and cracked the widest grin in her life.
Back at the Tower the Titans all sat around the table and talked about something other than what had happened the week before. They all sat in the same positions they always did, as if the poison hadn't even affected them. They laughed and joked and made fun of each other just like any family would. As they were putting up the dishes Raven pulled Robin aside. "Robin, I've been thinking a lot about what happened to us."
Robin nodded. "I have also."
Raven smiled. "Were all our feelings; all that happened between us, a chemical alteration? Was it just a crush to be forgotten like a bad meal? Was that kiss even sincere?"
Robin placed his hands on her shoulders. "Rae, it was all real. It was just hidden. I've had feelings for you but I was afraid to let them show because of this job we do. I still want to love you, but what…"
Raven nodded. "What if the same thing that happened to Gavin happened to either of us, you're right. We can't afford to let that happen. But it was so nice and I don't want it to end. Isn't there someway we can make it work?"
Robin shook his head. "I don't think so. We'll continue to be friends but relationships and hero work don't match. Too many things can go wrong."
Raven looked at Robin and nodded. "Agreed, then it's settled we won't talk about this ever again."
Robin looked at her in shock. "I didn't say that. Let's just see what happens alright. Maybe we can make it work somehow who knows."
Raven smiled at him kindly. "I'd really like that."
Robin nodded. "Definitely."
Beast boy and Starfire were a little less afraid of loosing each other and both ended up on the couch kissing each other passionately. Even if this was only a temporary fling they wanted to enjoy it to its full potential.
Meanwhile Cyborg sat at a restaurant across from a beautiful girl.
The girl smiled at him as she picked up her food with her fork. Her pink hair flowed down her back and across her slim shoulders. Her black dress revealing her figure, a figure any guy would drool over. This was their first official date together and she couldn't be happier. This was the beginning of a new life and she was looking forward to it.
