"I lied.." Grayson began after gathering everyone into the lounge/kitchen. Hank, Donna, Dawn, Kory, Rachel and Rose sat around in the kitchen while Lily, Gar, Arwen and Jason sat at a small round table. "I lied because I thought you'd leave this place...and me. If that happened there'd be no titans." Jason lifted his head but Arwen stopped him from saying anything. "And I lied to you too." He said turning towards Donna, Dawn and Hank. "I said Jericho was dead when I got to the church, but he wasn't. He was alive. He died trying to save me from his father." He continued, Rose looking down. "I'm sorry. You all deserve more..." he concluded crossing his arms and looking down in defeat.

After a long pause Hank stood up and walked over to him, throwing a punch. "Hey hey!" Lily shouted jumping out of her seat along with Kory and Dawn who held Hank back. "You lying sack of shit." He spat stepping away. "How many other fucking half-truths have you told us?" Donna asked trying to remain calm. "At least you got half-truths..." Rachel mumbled. "My brother is dead because of you. I'm out." Rose huffed heading towards the elevator.

Lily glanced between Grayson, Jason and Arwen.
"I'm out too." Donna mumbled. "I'm going with Donna." Rachel said following her. "Let's go." Hank whispered to Dawn as they walked out. "You're leaving too now?" Grayson asked in disbelief as Kory began walking off. "I have loose ends to take care of, sorry..." she sighed.

"Why do we have to look after him? He's been like this forever. It's not like he's going anywhere." Lily scoffed as she leaned against the doorway of the medical room. "Dicks orders." Gar sighed. "Where did he even run off to anyways?" Lily asked walking in and sitting beside their green haired friend. "Didn't really say."

"Of course he didn't."

"You guys are really gonna sit in here and keep an eye on the weirdo?" Jason asked leaning against the doorway. "Dick said s-"

"who cares what he said. He's not here right now." Jason rolled his eyes cutting off Gar. "He has a point. Plus it's not like he's going anywhere anytime soon. Come on let's do something interesting for once." Lily said standing up and walking out, Gar hesitantly following behind.

Gar, Lily, Jason and Arwen spent a few hours in the training room but didn't practice only spoke and joked around. "Hey Lily?" Gar asked walking back in with a box of cereal in hand. "Yea?" She asked looking over to him from her spot on the floor. "Didn't you say you could tell when people would die or something like that? You said it like a couple months ago I think." He said sitting beside Jason on one of the stacked up mats. "Uh yea why?"

"Why don't you ever use it?" Arwen stayed silent knowing the reason why her friend hardly ever used that power or hardly even mentioned it at all. "It's not exactly great knowing how, why or when people die all the time, you know?" She answered with small head shake. "Yea I guess."

"When do you guys think Dick will come back? Or Rachel?" Lily asked changing the subject. "Who cares when they do. I like it better this way honestly." Jason scoffed receiving a glare from Arwen, "Jason, not everyone thinks like you. They are our friends." She sighed. "Right my bad." Jason mumbled. Lily gave a surprised look to Arwen who shook her head, Gar slightly confused. "I'm gonna make coffee." Lily yawned standing up. "At 4pm?" Gar asked following her. "Yes Gar, at 4pm."

Arwen chuckled at her friends caffeine addiction as she watched the pair leave. "Does she know?" Jason asked. "Know what?"

"About what happened." He said looking over to Arwen who also sat on the ground. "Oh...I mean kinda. She read my mind so technically not my fault." Arwen shrugged sheepishly. "You were thinking of me?" Jason smirked. "Oh don't flatter yourself." Arwen groaned with a smile. "She won't say anything." Arwen reassured getting up to sit beside Jason instead of on the padded floor. "Say anything?"

"Yea like about what happened. I mean if you want it to be a secret or something she's great at keeping them. She won't say anything I-" Jason pecked Arwen on the lips for a moment before pulling away, "You can talk a lot." He joked. "Shut up." She mumbled with a small smile, looking down to hide the pinkish tint appearing on her cheeks.

"Is Arwen, the Arwen, blushing?" Lily called out with a mug in hand and Gar behind her with a tilted head and raised eyebrow. "Oh my god, shut up!" Arwen laughed standing up.

"Alright now everyone shh!" Lily hushed after she had put in a movie, sitting beside Gar on one of the couches, Arwen and Jason on the other. "Hold on do we have popcorn in this place?" Jason asked no one in particular as the movie started. "I'll go check." Arwen muttered, standing up and walking into the kitchen. "Ha we do! Who wants some?"

"Make two bags!" Lily shouted pulling the blanket she had over her shoulders. "You got it." Arwen replied taking two bags out of the box and into the microwave one at a time. "One for you," Arwen smiled handing a bowl of fresh popcorn to Gar and Lily then sitting back down, "and one for us."

Soon the movie ended and it was late. "I'm tired." Lily yawned while standing up. "Same I'm going to sleep." Gar mumbled cracking his back. "Alright goodnight guys." Arwen said while walking to her room with Lily. "Sleep well." Lily said yawning again with a small wave before disappearing into her own room. "You too." Arwen said with a small laugh doing the same.
