"You didn't even go to the airport to say good bye?" Colin questioned, and Damian just shrugged his shoulders.
"She wanted to go. I did not want to be any reason to stop her." Damian answered stiffly. "Besides, I will see her again. I know I will."
"You don't know that for sure. She could be away for years for all you know. You should have at least said goodbye."
"I couldn't." Damian frowned. "I can't simply say good bye to her. Besides, it doesn't matter. I will see her again. I am sure of it."
Colin noticed the heart broken look on Damian's face, and tried to change the subject. However, Damian's mind was on Livy.
He truly wanted to say goodbye before she left, but he felt like it might have made Livy stay, and he knew that her happiness depended on her moving. Another reason why he didn't say goodbye was because he had a feeling that if he did, he'd jump onto the plane with her.
"D'you wanna see a movie or something? I hear a cool one's out right now. Lots of explosions and stuff." Colin smiled, still trying to gets Damian's mind off of the girl.
"I will be alright, Colin." Damian sighed as he rose from the table at the café. "I just… I just need to be alone for a while."
With that, Damian left.

Livy gazed up at the night sky, soaking in the feel of the soft cool grass and the sight of the stars.
It's official. She thought happily. New Zealand is one of the most beautiful places in the world.
She smiled contently, but then frowned.
Standing to her feet, Livy walked to the small rancher that she and Jason were renting out and entered her room.
Currently, Jason was out trying to uncover some information about a drug dealer, and Livy was waiting for him to give her a call if he needed assistance.
She flipped open her laptop and opened up a window for Skype.
"Hey Livy! How's it going in New Zealand?" on the screen was the scarred but smiling face of Lancy.
"It's beautiful here. How's it going in Gotham?"
"No longer in Gotham." Lancy grinned. "I'm in Philadelphia. Bruce Wayne helped me move and everything. Turns out I have some family here. Granted, they're a bit like distant family, but they're great."
"That's wonderful news." Livy smiled. Lancy looked at Livy with some concern.
"Hey, is everything all right? Did Damian call? Have you talked to him?"
"No." Livy ran her hands through her hair, wincing a bit as she traced over the healed wound. "It wouldn't be right. I want to see him again, but…"
"I get it. Old wounds and all that stuff." Lancy shrugged. "But hey, Philadelphia isn't as bad as Gotham. Maybe you could visit me. Plus, Philly's only a few hours away from Gotham."
"Well…"
"Little Red! Come in!" Jason's voice radioed in.
"Talk later." Livy stated, and quickly closed the call and got suited up.
"I'm here Red Hood." Livy radioed in.
"I could use some help." Livy could hear some gun shots in the background. "I'm in Gisborne. Old warehouse… you'll know it when you see it." Jason stated. "Also, you should hear gunshots coming from it."
"On it."
As Livy ran off to help Jason, her mind was on what Lancy had said.
Philadelphia, huh.
