Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans.
You know, I just realized that I spent so much time on Tempest I completely neglected Feathers! So here's a random little piece that came out of nowhere- sorry if it sounds really, really odd; that's just how it happened. Thanks to Radcliffeluverforever, animeobsessed3191, Robyn J., and Phonix-Rising for reviewing!
-Go Out Laughing-
"Some of you may be surprised. I have to say I wasn't. It was the way she lived her life: never knowing if the next moment would be there when she opened her eyes.
"Maybe it wasn't fair for her to go like that. I don't know. I don't claim to know any more than this: no matter what happened, she kept going.
"There were tests in her life we will never know about; the things she may have meant to tell us but didn't, or the ones she did, but we didn't get.
"The one thing that I do understand now is that nothing would have made a difference. Perhaps another second and she would have lived. Maybe if she had openly told us everything we had wanted to know, we could have helped her.
"She chose not to, and I respect that.
"It wasn't a vain death, as you can testify. You are all still here, and without doing what she did, you wouldn't be.
"She died saving our world. She died laughing."
Robin stepped back as the silence of the crowd was broken by the sound of Raven's coffin being lowered into the grave; the silver patterns decorating the dark wood flashed once before being lost in the darkness.
The Titans could have sworn they heard her laughing in the distance.
