    "Wait," Kori's fingers wrap around your wrist, bringing you to a sudden stop.

    Memories flood back, unbidden—your ominous premonitions of an impending catastrophe, the uncertainty tearing at your heroic resolve. And then, your abrupt departure from the Teen Titans. To this day, the mark you made on her never quite faded.

    For someone with such an evanescent presence in her life, you've never quite left the confines of Kori's mind. She couldn't forget, not after what you've hinted at.

    You were teammates once, perhaps even friends. But with the passage of several years, you've become strangers. Kori doesn't know the person in front of her like she knew her teammate.

    She accepted your decision to leave the team, though it left a void she hadn't realized until now.

    Kori isn't as intimately familiar with fear as humans are. Despite her lack of understanding, she doesn't hold your choice against you—not now, not even back then.

    But now that she found you? It's almost like fate. Her grasp on you isn't harsh, but it is firm. She won't let you slip away, something within her won't allow her to.

    Kori tells herself you must feel the same. After all, if you truly wanted to avoid her, you could have used your prophetic abilities to steer clear.

    "Let's talk," Kori's voice is resolute, determined for some closure and resolution. Even if it means having this semi-dramatic reunion in the middle of a crowded Whole Foods.
