Leaving Again
"Why didn't you tell us?" asked Robin.
"Would you have trusted me? Besides, I wanted to be free of him, and to have friends. He kept me inside all the time, never letting me make or see friends. You know how that feels Robin, never being able to be with friends." I was referring to the time Slade made Robin be his apprentice.
"Yeah, I guess. But I wish you had told us in the beginning." Robin replied.
"In a way, I did. I said that my dad was a thief, and wanted me to follow in his footsteps. This is totally true about Mad Mod."
"So, is your name really Ashley, or is it something else?" This came from Cyborg.
"Ashley is my real name. Cassandra was my mother's name, so that's my real middle name. But my last name is really Mod not Mark."
"Well, Mad Mod's daughter or not, you've proved yourself to be a true Titan." He handed me a communicator.
"Thank you, but I'm leaving town soon. I've seen you guys in action, and you don't need me. But anytime you're in my town, wherever that may be, call me. I'll give you a tour, as long as I know where I'm going. Good-bye, my friends."
I turned, and walked out, thinking of a place that needs me, and let my feet do the walking. I turned around one time, and saw the Titans, waving goodbye. I wave back, as they fade into the distance, as I head off to the town where I will now live.
