She had been on the road for a while now, living in her flower-power van, wanting to spend some time exploring the world. In comparison to the rest of the Titans, Lilith apparently wasn’t someone who wasn't needed on duty often, which suited her well; it meant she had the time to get a degree, travel the country, and learn about herself. 

Lilith had been at peace whilst driving, eyes fixed on the road ahead of her, before watching as a bright red motorcycle drove in front of her, threatening to crash into her with the chauffeur’s intentional reckless driving, enforcing Lilith to stop the van.

‘ Pull over, ‘ a thought echoed in her head.

That rascal, she ought to give him a piece of her mind. Opening the driver’s side of her van, Lilith stepped out to look at the helmed man. “Are you out of your mind? I could have killed you!” she proclaimed, her face almost as red as her hair. Glancing from the helmet and to the bike, she realized something; Wait a minute, she recognized the vehicle. It only solidified her suspicion as he unveiled himself from his helmet, her eyes trailing from his red hair and to his face. “You gotta be kidding me — Roy??” Quite an entrance, she must say. “What are you doing here?”

HE KNOWS HE CAN GET CRABBY --and if you asked donna, “crabby” would be an understatement for the type of lows he has. it’s the perfectionist side of him that pushes and pushes and he’s never quite satisfied with the work done. and it weighs on him, probably too much at times because he knows he’s taken it out on others in the past. and the more stressful the job becomes at the moment? the more times he lashes out in anger --and it’s hard to hide that kind of emotion when others are around.

so when roy sits down and says that, dick immediately knows he was being a piece of work the other day. he winces, thinking about it.

     Their relationship was complicated. Despite how hard they tried to push away from each other, it seemed like they still felt something that drew them into one another. Jade proclaimed that Roy was the only weakness that she ever allowed herself to have. After all these years, she had been certain that she had held the strength to get past that. That he was no longer a weakness. That it was just childish feelings that were between them.

     She had been dead wrong.

     Whenever they were fighting, it did something peculiar to her. Her pulse was left racing, leaving her with a need to get closer to him. Leaving her with a confusion with what her intentions really was. Jade had Roy where she needed him. He was left beneath her after battle, not completely defenseless, but she definitely had the upper hand at the current moment.

   Now there was something familiar ... the want to be needed by others, to have proof that one had an effect on a team, on FRIENDS. Despite how much she knew those worries of being proven wrong in this herself she was somewhat surprised to see them reflected in Roy. “ Need you? Of course they need you. But you know they are ... they hate asking for help. ” And with how their lives had developed she knew the team wasn’t going to ask Roy to join them again, they believed he wouldn’t want to after the mess that the last few years had been and maybe he truly wouldn’t but it was starting to look like they should at least have ASKED first.

    “ Yeah, yeah you’re starting to sound like Max. ”, he responded, at first DISMISSIVE out of anger over his failure. Things hadn’t gone according to plan and he was frustrated, annoyed. It didn’t matter what Roy said at this point he would have gotten the same response either way. Damn it, what had Max said about these situations? What was he supposed to do again? Breathe, right? Slow down — yeah, that sounded BORING enough to be Max’ advice.
