      “I feel like I’d lost in the long term... lost someone near and dear to me.” A forlorn sigh, before finally, a laugh left her. “It’s good to see you, Rachel. How’ve you been?”

That was a sure fine way to have Dinah close her mouth and shut right up. She was once in Rachel’s position of abandonment at her age. Different reasons and circumstances, yet she understood. “I didn’t make a promise that I would.” If there was one thing Dinah wouldn’t do? Talk to a youth as though they couldn’t grasp the meaning of reality. Promises could be broken, after all, and she wasn’t about to place her in that position. No one knew their actual fate. Still, it hurt her to have to even expose her to that world. That, she didn’t do something more to change the world so Rachel wouldn’t be in this position to begin with. “Death has taken me once. I don’t expect it will want to try that again.” 

slade’s USED to seeing eyes look at him like that . the titans , the league , his ex - wife - it’s nothing new . even if he’s just damn well trying to HELP some ungrateful child . he flips off of one of the office building’s beams , glad it doesn’t give out beneath his heavy form .

‘ i’m not telling you what you’re supposed to be . i’m telling you what you are . if you were smart , you’d be listening to me . ‘ slade’s gun isn’t even OUT , his sword is still strapped to his back . he’s still there , trying to EXPLAIN .

Your wish is my command

“What if the bad times end up really bad?” It may not be up to Dinah what came their way, but for much of her life, trouble always followed. In some ways, she was a bad luck charm. Most especially to someone like Raven. Dinah cared too much. Hell, she even had someone flat out tell her to not care, but how does one turn that off? She tried. Oh, if there was a Lord above, she really did try not to care and he knew it. It would make life so much easier. No one would ever get hurt by the trouble that she brought.
