Authors notes
Ok like I usually do with the last ones I'll leave the notes till the end. Thank you all for you're time reviews always enjoy reading them. I'll include a little more descriptions here but most of it you'll have to infer as per usual.
Please let me know if T is still an appropriate rating please.
One last thing... Not everyone will like the direction I went here but that's the risk in trying to write. So I hope someone enjoys as always and let me know what you think If you have the time. Always appreciated.
Hope you enjoy!
Tower
"Come on Raven quick inside!"
"I can't see anything Gar"
"Hang on I wonder?... Yes the system still works!"
"Well Cyborg did put everything into that second rebuild. If anything was going to survive after all this time it's this old place"
"Still it's amazing... Oh memories are already coming back"
"Even in the lobby?"
"Especially the lobby?"
"Think the heating still works? We can't exactly build a fire everyday there are no trees left out there"
"Already warming up"
"Thank Azar"
"We should probably check for any broken windows since we'll be here to stay"
"Good plan"
(Upstairs in the living room)
"Hey not bad Rae, apart from the tons and tons of dust it's just like I remember isn't it Rae?... Rae?"
"..."
"You ok?"
"You know they say in life there's only one place you think of as you're true home... You know what I mean Gar?"
"Hey I always loved 'The Bloody Awful' that ship saw us through some unforgettable adventures"
"By unforgettable I assume you mean that time you got "soul bonded" to me to fight that giant ghost crab?"
"You're never going to let me forget that are you?"
"Well no because if you recall I wanted you to go on after me... but you had to go bind you're soul to mine like a dummy. Now when I go, so do you"
"Hehehe well if I could do it all over again, I think I'd still do it"
"You would?"
"We've been at this a long time, I don't want to do it without you"
"Thank you Garfield... for everything"
"You're welcome my love... Raven you're hand?"
"Hmm ,oh yeah. It's been getting worse"
"I know you said you weren't sure but... how long do you think... If you had to guess?
"I'm not sure, it could be years or months... maybe weeks"
(Garfield takes her hand)
"I'll be with you to the end.. and afterwards"
"What if there is no afterwards?..."
"Oh come on Raven we fought ghosts, we rescued one of our kids from Hell and lets not forget you're dad, I don't know where were going but were going somewhere"
"Fair point... I just... I just wanted you to find happiness with...someone else, when I'm gone"
"Can I be honest with you Raven?"
"You should know the answer to that Gar"
"We've been together for thousands of years now and honestly I don't want anyone else. I never have. It's been one hell of an adventure and I wouldn't change any of it. I love you more than anything and I'm not about to abandon you now"
"Oh Garfield..."
"Besides wherever you go next I'm coming too, you may need backup"
"I...I love you so much Garfield *sniffles* I wouldn't have traded any second of our life together for anything either"
(He hugs her)
"I'll always be here for you"
"Oh by the way, if it's still down there... can we pay our respects?"
"Sure thing Rae"
(Downstairs in the Tower Crypt)
"There they are"
"Together as they should be, Rae"
"It's a shame Cyborg never made it back here, this is where he should have been laid to rest"
"It is unfortunate but at least Richard and Star are where they should be"
"If they were here right now what do you suppose they'd think of everything?"
"Hmm Starfire would probably be happy to see how well New Tamaran is doing, as for Richard well...he'd just find some crime to fight regardless of what century it is"
"Can't argue there, he was doing it until the end. Even now that Earth is a lifeless cold rock"
"Even now... I know Victor's not here but I still think of him when I'm in the tower"
"I know what you mean"
"That's why I wanted to come back here, be with my first real family at the end"
"Well I don't think we could find all our descendants if we tried"
"I had to go with the one guy who could give me kids despite me physically not being able to"
"I never doubted you'd be a great mom, even Richard didn't"
"I'm not complaining, like I said I wouldn't trade anything from our life together... I just wish we they were all here but I suppose you'll do Gar"
"Geez thanks, Rae"
"No problem"
"You know actually I lied I never got the soul bond, I just said that so afterwards I don't have to feel guilty about marrying that alien princess"
"Why you little... well since were being honest I was cheating on you with Aqualad that first year"
"I KNEW IT, Oh tomorrow I'm finding what's left of Atlantis and destroying it... unless it already is to which I'll destroy it some more"
"Hope you enjoy the freezing ocean"
"I will thanks!"
"FINE!"
"FINE!"
"..."
"..."
"Hahahahahahe!"
"Hahahahehehe!
"Oh Gar, you're still funny all these years later"
"I try... you look tired Rae, shall we see if your room is still there?"
"It better be..."
(Raven's Room)
"Just how you left it"
"No one goes into my room... well except you obviously"
"I put the Towers systems on cleaning. Before you know it, it'll be just how it was before"
"Are you planning to go out and fight crime again?"
"Ha ha, no... It'll be just like when we all used to live together. We can create some new memories together before you go"
"I'd love that..."
"Do you want to lay down?"
"I may be thousands of years old, Garfield but my body isn't"
"Hehehe sorry, I forget sometimes"
(They both lay on the bed)
"Ughh I'm starting to look like a broken porcelain doll"
"Eh you still look as gorgeous as the day I married you"
"Thank you Gar...but I don't think I'll look too pleasant by the end"
"I told you Raven, I'm with you to the end, give me your hand"
"Okay"
"I don't know how long we have left together but I want us to make the most of it, so I'll help you with whatever you need"
"I never deserved you Gar"
"You're still too hard on yourself, even now. There's nowhere I'd rather be"
"Are...Aren't you afraid?"
"Of course I am but I'll be honest with you again, I'm tired Raven... aren't you?"
"Oh You wouldn't believe but I was actually starting to think we might live forever, I'm sorry I let you down. Who knows how long you could have had left"
"You could never let me down Raven, I don't care how long I had. I told you I don't want to go on without you"
"... Garfield... *sniffles*... I'm scared... I'm so scared"
"Come here Rae, come here. It's okay I'm here"
"... I don't want to leave you behind"
"You won't, I promise"
"But what if *sniffles* you end up somewhere else?"
"Then I'll travel through every afterlife until I find you again"
"I love you Gar, I love you so much..."
"I love you too Rae, My everything ... Listen tomorrow I'll sort out the power systems, who knows maybe the old game systems still work?"
"Really Gar? My last moments playing videogames?"
"Hey we spent a whole decade trapped in that fantasy game"
"Ughh..."
"Don't worry Rae, who knows how long it could be. We could read you're old books, or watch my old movies. Oooh! We could even go out and explore the old planet, see what's left"
"It's a perpetual snowstorm out there?"
"You still never wanna have a snowball fight"
"Just like old times"
"They were the best times... rest you're eyes Rae. You're home now, you can sleep"
"Don't let me go..."
"Never"
Ok there we go. Drama in relationships are all well and good but I'm always a fan of soul mates who end up full circle, It's a bit of a downer ending but one that hopefully shows how they much they meant to each other and how long they've been together. Truthfully as well I may do a proper story chronicling there last year as I didn't want to do a dialogue only version of that. I owe these characters that much. In which I will go into more detail on how we reached here. Speaking of which all the big moments I've teased throughout this series will probably get proper story versions. (Like their wedding for example) Again this isn't the end for this two at least not by me. For me however this is where I'd want these two end up. After everything they've been through In each others arms in there first real home after a long long long, life together. I couldn't see either of them wanting to leave the other behind.
Again I know this ending might not be for everyone and I know others have touched on Raven's immortality before. Nor Garfield potetially being immortal but if one person can enjoy it then that's enough.
Thank you for al the reviews, always a pleasure to read em (you know who you are) Next time I'll be going back to full stories with all the BBRAE Fluff you've come to expect. I'm still planning the concept season but I had no time this month to write bigger stories like my others. So I hope you got something out of this. Thank you and until next time
