Renseia carried her wife in her arms, heading for their room with the other's trailing right behind. After entering the room, she walked toward the bed and placed her wife on the mattress. She reached out for Ferranea her fingers grazed her wife's cheek. Renseia continued to stroke her wife's cheek lovingly.
"It's time." Renseia told her eldest. "Falcon?" she turned her attention to her youngest.
"Time for what?" Falcon asked in confusion
"We need your help." Raven told her sister. "The only way our mother can wake up is if you help us." she said as she set Starfire down on the chair next to her mother's bed.
"What do you need me to do?" the teen asked as she looked at her mother.
"We need your help to heal her." Renseia replied.
Falcon nodded her head as Raven walked towards their mother's bed. She crawled onto the bed and sat next to her mother. Her younger sister followed her lead and sat across from her.
The sister's faced each other, their mother's unconscious body lying in between them. Raven extended her hands towards her mother and let them hover above her mother's torso. The Rebel angel followed her lead. They closed their eyes and allowed the energy to flow from their bodies onto their mothers'.
Renseia watched her daughters and her wife at the foot of the bed. The sister's hands started to glow bright white. The others closed their eyes at the sight. Moments later the light that was coming from the sister's vanished. The sisters looked to their mom.
Ferranea stayed still. They watched in anticipation for any sudden movement but none came. Their disappointment was apparent. Starfire looked to her love. She desperately wanted to get up and comfort Raven but as she tried to get up but felt a searing pain in her stomach. The redhead could feel the misery radiating from her love. The alien princess stood trying hard to ignore the pain as she slowly walked towards Raven. She placed a hand on Raven's shoulder.
Raven turned and saw her love and felt her arms around her neck. She slipped her arms around the shorter woman's waist and used her powers. The chair Starfire was sitting on was engulfed in red as it floated towards them.
"It'll be alright." the redhead whispered in Raven's ear.
"I know... now sit down... you need your rest." Raven instructed. The princess did as she was told. She turned her head away from her love towards her mother.
Renseia looked away from Ferranea. Her eyes fell upon Raven's disappointed face. She sighed and crawled onto the bed. She settled beside her eldest and snaked her arm around the half demon's shoulders. She offered a comforting squeeze on the Reaper's arm.
"I know you're disappointed." Renseia said as she looked at the half demon. "Maybe we just need to try again." she suggested. "We are all exhausted from the battle." Renseia reminded her daughters. Her youngest said nothing while her eldest nodded her head. The part sorceress disentangled herself from her daughters. She looked down at her wife. She placed one hand on her stomach, and held onto Ferranea's hand with her other hand. "Come back to us love." she whispered.
She felt pressure applied to her hand. The part sorceress looked down and saw that her wife's hand did not move. She started to feel a familiar comforting warmth on her other hand. She looked and saw Ferranea's hand, on top of hers. The sisters watched their mothers. Renseia's became filled with tears. Ferranea slowly opened her eyes, revealing her blue and red eyes.
"Ren..." she started to say. Her voice was raspy yet gentle. Her vision was slightly blurred. She could see a figure with gray hair by her side. "Re..n.. se.. ia." Ferranea called out. She could feel calming warmth around both her hands.
"I'm here Fea..." Renseia replied as tears fell from her eyes. Ferranea pushed herself up. She pulled her love into her arms by carefully slipping her arms around Ferranea's waist. The two broke apart and the part sorceress helped her wife sit up on the bed. Ferranea closed her eyes and opened them. Her vision had cleared. She saw Renseia, looking at her with the silver eyes she loved so much. She saw what looked like to be a teenage girl, with gray hair and blue highlights, sitting across from her wife. She saw the teenager's silver and red eyes, looking at her. She could tell that the girl was anxious and nervous though she was trying her best to hide this fact. She turned her head slightly and saw a woman around 20 years old looking at her. The woman had black hair, with red streaks. A set of black and red eyes were looking at Ferranea. "I want you to meet some people." the teary eyed woman continued. "That is..." she started out but was interrupted.
"Falcy..." Ferranea said as she reached out to Falcon whose normally empty eyes were filled with so many emotions. She hesitantly took her mother's hand. Uncertainty coursed the teen's veins.
"And that right there is..." Renseia was again interrupted.
"Ra...vy..." Ferranea extended her hand and caressed Raven's cheek. The half demon leaned into her mother's touch. Both Raven and Falcon felt their mother pull them closer. She took her daughters in her arms as she wept. The newly awoken mother could feel her daughter's tears soaking her robes. She looked at Renseia. "Thank you..." she whispered to her wife. The three broke apart. She looked at both Falcon and Raven. "It's been that long... Both of you are grown up. I know that I haven't been there for either of you..." Ferranea told her daughters.
"Neither have I." Renseia reminded the two.
"But we want to make it up to the both of you...." Ferranea told her daughters. "If you want us to that is." Raven nodded her head vigorously while her sister said nothing. The half demon and the newly awoken angel motioned for Renseia to join in their circle. She did as she was asked.
The three cried happily, thankful that they had finally found each other. They broke apart. Ferranea looked around and saw some familiar and unfamiliar faces around her bed. Raven and Renseia seemed to notice this.
"Hey Fer." Hetea and Gevea greeted their friend.
"It's been too long my friends." Ferranea smiled. "Orion, Dasha. I see the two of you are finally together." Ferranea said as she smiled at her friends. Her eyes gazed upon some unfamiliar characters. Renseia saw the confused look in her wife's eyes.
"They are a group of heroes called the titans." she explained.
"They are from the human dimension." Raven clarified for her mother. "The blonde is Alkaline, the green eyed brunette is Light, and the masked one is Nightingale." she introduced everyone. "And behind me," she looked back. The half demon moved away from her mother and stood next to the recuperating redhead's chair. "Is Starfire." Raven said as she looked at the princess. Ferranea could see the love in Raven's eyes. She saw the same look in those emerald green eyes. Starfire looked away from Raven and looked at Ferranea.
"It was a pleasure to meet you all, especially you Starfire. I trust that you have been taking care of my daughter." Ferranea smiled as she looked at the redhead. Starfire's cheeks reddened. There was a slight blush on Raven's cheeks. "At least my daughter was left in good hands." Ferrenea said as she gazed at the two. She then looked away and looked at her wife who could see the tired look in Ferranea's eyes.
"I do not want to break up this reunion but I am afraid Ferra needs her rest." Renseia told her daughters and everyone else. Raven nodded her heads in understanding. Falcon and Renseia got off the bed. Raven picked up Starfire from the chair. Everyone left the room. Renseia was about to leave herself. She paused at the door when she heard her name.
"Ren..." Ferranea called out.
"What is it Fea?" she asked.
"Stay with me?" her wife implored. Renseia smiled and walked over to the woman's bed.
"Always, love." Renseia said as she climbed onto the bed and lied down. Her wife placed her head on her shoulder as she slipped her arms around Ferranea's waist.
"You have much to tell me Rea... you and our daughters." she told her wife.
"I know." Renseia replied. "But first, you must get your rest. I love you Fea." she whispered.
"I love you too, Rea." Ferranea whispered. As they held one another a part of Renseia could not believe that her wife was back in her arms. Neither could believe that they had been reunited with their daughters.
Raven and Starfire walked down the hallway with the half demon carrying the recuperating titan in her arms. To say her love was ecstatic would have been an understatement.
"Raven?" the princess called out as she was carried through the hall way.
"Yes Star?" Raven asked.
"Where are we going?" the titan asked.
"We're going back to our room. You need to get your rest." she replied. Her voice was sweet and caring.
"Could we stay out in the balcony before we go to bed?" Starfire asked.
"Anything you want." she replied. They entered their room and headed straight for the balcony. She walked towards the railing. Raven set her princess down onto the railing, her arms around the shorter woman's waist, holding her protectively.
Starfire turned around and faced her love, placing her legs around the half demon's waist. Raven looked deep into those emerald eyes she had adored for more than three millenniums. The half angel closed her eyes, leaned in and captured the shorter woman's lips with her own.
The redhead stayed still, shocked. After regaining her senses she closed her eyes. She then felt Raven's moving against her own. She followed Raven's lead. She slipped her arms around the taller woman's neck and brought her closer. Starfire could feel Raven's tongue caressing her lips no doubt seeking entrance to her cavern. Starfire happily granted her access by opening her mouth.
Her tongue entered the redhead's mouth gently. Starfire could feel Raven's tongue, touching her own, roaming her mouth. She caressed Raven's tongue with her own. The two broke apart for air.
"Wh.. What ha... ppen.. ed to ta... king... our time?" she asked out of breath. Emerald green looked deep into red and black. The half demon collected her breath before she replied.
"I've spent the last 3,500 years as a product of destiny's deceit." Raven stated while her love looked at her quizzically. "I refuse to continue to waste the time I have with you now." she continued, earning a smile from Starfire. The pair kissed again. Raven moved her mouth open. Starfire did the same. Starfire could feel Raven's tongue seeking entrance into her mouth. Starfire obliged. She eagerly accepted Raven's tongue in her mouth.
Raven slid her tongue against the redheads. Their kiss was sweet and gentle. Finally, after a few minutes later, the two broke apart for air again.
"There are so many thing that I don't know about you Raven." the red head stated as she rested her head on the taller woman's chest. She looked directly into Raven's eyes. "I know you won't just tell me what they are... you've never been an easy egg to crack. I hope that you will tell me in time." she confessed to her love.
"I will Starfire... I promise I will." Raven vowed. "Look Star, I've done things that I'm not proud of."
"You don't have to tell me now." she didn't want to pressure the older woman. "For now, let's just take things slow." Starfire told Raven who merely nodded her head in agreement. She leaned in and captured Starfire's lips with her own once again.
Their kiss was just a simple peck. Starfire turned her head and stared at the horizon, a smile plastered on her face. Raven followed her gaze. She saw the glimmer of happiness in those emerald green eyes. The two continued to hold each other as the sun began to appear before the horizon, marking a new day for them all.
The End!
