She had worked so hard to put that life behind her.

Her life in the tower. Being a member of the Titans. Her powers. Him.

After Dick had shut down the tower and the entire Titans operation — not to mention leaving her behind with it — she didn’t have much choice but to put all of it behind her. She had to. It was the only way to cope.

Things with Dick had ended… particularly icy. And even that was putting it nicely. She just couldn’t understand why leaving Robin behind meant leaving her behind too, especially after all the pair had been through together. The final time she had ever seen the man she loved was the back of him before he slammed the door, ending their explosive argument. After that, not one exchange was held between the two, no text, no call, nothing.

Which is why she can barely look at the man she once knew better than anyone stood in the doorway of her apartment like a stranger, asking her to come back to the Titans. To come back to the tower. To come back to him.
