Time
Two former Titans, side by side on the top of the Tower, sat talking and enjoying the sunset. The years had aged them; some fifty had passed since they as teenagers had been a part of the team.
"Hey, remember that time I nailed Starfire with that oil balloon?"
"You're lucky she didn't destroy you. She handled that better than I would have."
"Yeah." Pause. "Remember Malchior?"
"Yeah." Another pause. "Remember Terra?"
"Yeah."
Two sighs. After a moment, Beast Boy asked seriously, "Time really does heal, doesn't it?"
Raven thought. "Maybe not heal, so much as dull the old emotion."
Forever
He paced angrily. It was so unlike him to be angry that he barely knew what to do with himself. She stood watching, feeling his negative emotions hit her like a gang beating her with clubs. This upset her; this whole situation. He couldn't understand, couldn't see her reasons. Raven waited for his next outburst. Instead, she was greeted by seething, understated rage.
"You lied to me." It wasn't a question.
She bristled. "I did't. I omitted the truth."
"Same thing."
"No–" he cut her off.
"The truth may hurt for a little while, but a lie hurts forever, Raven."
Fight
He punched. She dodged right, and dropped to a knee, sweeping her right leg out to catch his. He jumped to avoid it, and brought an elbow down to knock her over. She rolled, recovering to take a swing at his face. Green flashed by as he dodged again, barely missing the hit. She swung several times in quick succession, which he blocked with his forearms. Quickly she faked with her left leg, making him hesitate, then brought her right up and down sharply on his shoulder. He landed, and she pinned him to the mat.
"You must never hesitate."
