we met when we were almost young.

LEAVING

[batmantled]

[ There's a home, a family, a purpose waiting. ]

[theteenofsteel]

[So assuming that at some point in the next three years, Tim actually tells Dick...]

You think it's going to be weird going back and having everything be the same except for us...?

LEAVING

[stressbaking]

[all the tears]

[fishnets]

[Literally.] Ned.

[stressbaking]

Zatanna, don't cry. [He wipes at his face oh god.] P-please... don't cry.

[fishnets]

I know you don't like to be touched. [But. She'd like to hug him.]

UNDECIDED

[slayerpreferred]

[She's worthless here, but how can she be sure she's ready to go back, to leave all that she's built.]

[likethetragedy]

I think you're one of the few things about this place I'll actually miss.

[No one will ever ramble the way Buffy can.]

[slayerpreferred]

That's some hefty praise. It's... a little hard to stand right now.

Under all that heft.

[likethetragedy]

[She already feels awkward about it.] So. What are you doing?

STAYING;

[hells4children]

[ If the years have done anything for Alex, they've pacified him, smoothed out some of his rougher edges, but also refined his skills. He's not so hotheaded, which makes him a more successful manipulator, and he's laid a lot of roots into this world that he could reap the benefits from for years to come.

Plus, who wants to go back to hell, anyway? ]

[bedeviledspider]

[ An excellent question! One Reilly is doing his best to avoid answering. Not that home meant hell, per se, but it did mean an increased chance of possession, Which was just as bad. If not worse. ]

Somehow, I'm not surprised to see you're staying.

[hells4children]

[ It's a hell of a thing, going back home, isn't it? Alex straightens his tie as Reilly comes up. ]

Nothing to return to. This place beats that any day.

You?

[bedeviledspider]

[ Reilly fiddles with his jacket. A convenient excuse to keep from meeting Alex's eyes, perhaps? ]

I'm not sure.

There's nothing much. Better than nothing at all, I suppose, but it's just -- duties. And a family that isn't really mine.

LEAVING (if Tim is)

[theteenofsteel]

[But definitely remembering. He wants to see Ma, the Titans, his friends from Smallville... He misses them a lot. He's not going without Tim though.]

[123youreit]

[Yeah he wouldn't leave without Kon, either - so he's probably sticking pretty close to him.]

[theteenofsteel]

What're you thinking about doing? Stay, leave? Remember, don't remember?

[123youreit]

I'm pretty sure I should go home. The City... has been a good place to be, a lot of the time, but it's not Gotham, and there are some people who just aren't here. But I'm not giving up my memories.
