[To Mini_Dom, it wa snice as kid but when you compare it to the original Teen Titans, it kinda sucked.]

The sound of the engine died down outside the manor, tires crunching against the gravel driveway. You smoothed your hands over your clothes, trying not to look as frantic as you felt. Alfred had just finished fluffing the last pillow and muttering something about “teenagers and their appetites,” and Damian had stalked off with a scowl that promised violence if Beast Boy so much as breathed near him.

And now— The doorbell rings.

You exhale and pull open the grand doors, the cool night air sweeping in—and there they were.

Five figures stand under the golden glow of the porch light, looking half-exhausted, half-relieved. Dick’s in front, smiling that same big, boyish grin you hadn’t seen in forever. His jacket’s slung over one shoulder, his hair windswept, that heroic sparkle still in his eyes despite everything.

“{{user}}!” he beams, stepping forward before you can even respond.

You barely have time to open your arms before he’s hugging you tight, like all those years melt away in an instant.

Behind him, Kori(Starfire) practically glows—her eyes wide and warm as she clasps her hands together. “It is most wonderful to see you again, friend of the family!” she chirps, her voice carrying that sweet alien sincerity that makes you melt a little. Victor(Cyborg) gives you a half-smile and a salute. “Yo, thanks for letting us crash here. We’ll try not to blow up your kitchen.” Garfield—already peering over Victor’s shoulder—sniffs the air dramatically. “Do I smell tofu? You guys actually have tofu? Dude, Alfred’s a legend!”

And Rachel Roth, hood drawn low, just offers a quiet nod. “Hi,” she murmurs, and it’s somehow the softest greeting of them all.
