Kory's garden looked nice tonight. The sun was at just the right angle to light the garden up, but still have the cool blue of night hot on its heels above

Tara is down by the beach, using a tiny bit of her power to skip rocks across the surface.
Bored. Bored. Bored. How fucking long do I gotta play nice? What I'd really like to do is see if I can cause some damage. Maybe pick up those really sharp rocks at the base of the Golden Gate and...
What do I want? Out of your head! When do I want it? NOW! What do I want? Out of your head! When do I want it? NOW!
How long you gonna keep that up, hippie jerk?
As long as I have to. You mean harm to good people and I'm going to resist as much as I can.
Get off it, doll. You aren't a Titan, and you don't have the stuff to be a Titan.
That silences Aurora for a bit and Tara smugly thinks she's won for the moment. Wouldn't be the first time she thought that and turned out wrong, though.
Without even knowing it, he's above Tara on the beach, and lacking and arm to wave with, decides to dive down to her, swooping, landing on her shoulder gently, with the small impact of his canary form.
Listen, pachouli-breath. You can spare me the attempts to 'redeem' me, or to find some 'inner goodness' because that crap's for the movies. Welcome to real life.
You cared for him, didn't you? Aurora persists.
Salad-head could have come with me if he got smart. Look at his powers - venom, crushing strength, adapt to just about any environment. And he knew the real world - the one where the only thing you get is what you can claw outta the hide of others. I had him so close to comin on over with me, of having him ditch the silly hero stuff and make serious dough. We coulda made the world beg us for mercy and refused to give it.
Is that a "we" coming from you?
You, Rory, have to be the biggest bimbo I've ever -
"So, everyone change their locks after I was gone?"

I will be so glad to have you outta my skull.
Feeling's mutual, Tara.

Wow. You're cranky.
Just noticed? Gee, you are special. Short bus time...
"Yeah," she admits. "Beats bein' dead, I guess. Hades was a real jerk. And don't get me started on Deathstroke, either."

"You were thinking about...when you saved us all...?"
The day still sits in his mind too. One of the darkest he can recall. The way she just selflessly went after the assassin to defend her friends...

"I remember when you got it. I told you how the amber and gold represented lava and earth, and the other one, silver and emerald, was..."
He pauses, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
"Wait...change our locks? Why in the world would we need to do that...?"
