Epilogue

With Vandal Savage and Professor Ivo apprehended and Klarion out of the picture for now, Raven teleported the Titans West, the Team, and their prisoners back to the Titans West Tower, where the rest of the Light was still stashed.

Now the two teams were discussing what was to be done with the Light once the Team returned to their own dimension. "The smashed up robots and the computer program Ivo used to control them are evidence of Professor Ivo breaking the terms of his parole," NW said. "That will get him sent back to Belle Reve."

"And Psimon never served any prison time for his actions at the border of Bialya and Qurac," M'gann said. "The leader of Qurac couldn't go after Queen Bee for trying to usurp him for diplomatic reasons, but Psimon is another matter. I'm not sure if they'd still put him on trial since some claimed the psychic coma I put him in was punishment enough, but we can certainly offer him up to Qurac and see what they say."

Kaldur nodded. "As for the Brain, Monsieur Mallah, and Vandal Savage, I'm afraid that Savage was correct in his statement that we have no evidence of them committing wrongdoing."

"They kidnapped Scarlet Gem," Raven said. "Does that count if I testify against them?"

Kaldur shook his head. "Unfortunately, it was Klarion who took you and you have no memories of what happened after that. You couldn't even testify that those three were ever in the same vicinity as you."

Beast Boy folded his arms and grumbled. "What kind of a society lets supervillains run around just because we don't have evidence of what crimes they've committed right at the moment? We know plenty of other things that they've done."

"The kind of society that values parasitic lawyers," Superboy said.

"And not locking people up without just cause," Raven added dryly. "I know it's frustrating when the bad guys get away, but without evidence, anyone could be locked up so long as someone accused them of doing something."

"Yeah, I guess," Beast Boy agreed, scuffing the floor with his foot.

"Kaldur, why don't you and I discuss how you see the transfer from our dimension to your dimension going?" Nightwing suggested. Kaldur nodded and the two wandered off. The other Titans seemed to take that as some sort of cue and left, waving a good night to the assembled group.

"We'll really miss you, Raven," Beast Boy said, staring at the floor. "The Cave won't be the same without you."

"Don't make this harder on her," NW admonished Beast Boy. "Raven has been through a lot in the last year."

Raven resisted the urge to tap her foot. "NW, could I talk to you for a moment?"

"Sure," he agreed, looking surprised. Raven grabbed his arm and dragged him off to an empty room. Once inside, she stepped back from him, crossing her arms and giving him a look. "What's up, Raven?"

"That's what I wanted to ask you."

"I don't know what you mean."

"Really?" Raven raised her eyebrows. Was NW just being stubborn or could he really not know? Was it possible she'd confused Nightwing's and NW's feelings and it was Nightwing that cared for her romantically?

"I mean, if you were looking to say goodbye then…I wanted to say that I think you're the most amazing woman I've ever met, and that's saying something. You always put others above yourself, whether it's a teammate or a civilian, even without any memories. You're smart and crazy talented at fighting and surveillance. And it looks like your magic would put Zatana's to shame. I wish…but I understand how much the Titans mean to you. After seeing some of Nightwing's memories, I would never dream of doing anything ridiculous like asking you to leave them."

"Ridiculous, huh?" Raven asked, her fingers tapping out an irritated rhythm on her arm. "So you don't want to see me again then?"

"Wh—why would you think that? Didn't I just finish telling you how amazing I think you are? Would you like more? The list is longer if you're looking for more detail. Or maybe you think I don't care about learning more about you. I want to know what made you such a caring person, that being a superhero is so intrinsic to who you are that you somehow ended up a superhero while an amnesiac in another dimension. I want to know where you grew up and where you learned your magic from. I want to know why you decided to become a superhero in the first place and how it happened, I want—"

Raven put her fingers on NW's lips, stopping him from saying more. "Then why are you acting like you don't want to see me again? Why have you been pulling away from me?"

NW froze, looking cautiously at Raven, as though he was afraid she was joking with him. "You want to come back? From the memories I saw, I didn't think anything could convince you to leave the Titans."

"Who said anything about leaving the Titans? Have you forgotten what started this whole mess in the first place? I can travel between dimensions."

"It's not hard to do?" NW asked slowly. "I mean, I know you said that's why the Light needed you as the power source for the trans-dimensional device, but since they were so fixated on you I figured that power was, I don't know, really hard to use I guess? Really energy consuming? Maybe I just don't really understand what it means to create portals to other dimensions."

"I was born and grew up on a plane that exists between dimensions," Raven explained. "I create a portal between dimensions every time I visit my mother."

"So, this isn't goodbye then?"

"Not unless you want it to be, and you seem pretty intent on—" This time it was NW who cut Raven off, though he used his lips instead of his fingers. Raven inhaled sharply, with NW gripping her shoulders and pulling her close.

A moment later, he pulled back a few inches to look Raven in the eye. "I definitely don't want this to be goodbye."

Three Months Later (because I used three months for the other two time skips, so might as well be consistent at this point)

"You look beautiful," Dick said right after Raven teleported to his apartment, sliding an arm around her waist and leaning down to kiss her.

"You say that every time you see me."

Dick grinned and kissed the jewel on her forehead. "It's because I don't see enough of you. I forget what you look like in between visits. It's a nice surprise every time."

Raven couldn't help her smile, despite the corny line.

"And that necklace looks great on you, but I have to wonder, do you only wear it when you come to see me?" Dick asked. Raven was wearing the ruby necklace he had bought her shortly after he first saved her from the League of Shadows, which she'd retrieved on her first visit back to the Team's dimension.

"I wear it other times," Raven defended. "You can ask Starfire the next time I bring you to the Teen Titan's dimension."

"I will," Dick threatened. "And Beast Boy has been nagging me that he wants to see you. So, at end of our date today or the next time you come, we'll have to visit the Cave. Just to warn you, while Beast Boy does miss you, I also think he wants an update on his counterpart. I think that Beast Man has become Beast Boy's hero."

"Well, isn't there someone out there who says that you should be your own hero? Though Beast Boy may not have to rely on me for Beast Man updates for long."

"Why not?"

"Cyborg and I are working on making new T Phones that combine magic and technology so the phones would work across dimensions." Raven had been nervous about asking Cyborg for help on the project. Not because she didn't think he would or could do it, but because it felt so girly to ask him to help her make a phone so she could talk to her boyfriend more often. Cyborg had thought the phones a brilliant idea (Vandal Savage had threatened to return, after all, and it'd be good if the two teams could contact and warn each other at a moment's notice), and he was excited about the challenge. And the teasing from him and Beast Man had been minimal. The fact that she had teleported Beast Man outside the tower from the top floor when he started teasing her helped.

"That's a great idea," Dick said, squeezing Raven's hand. "Come grab me on Saturday and I'll help out. I'd love to learn more from Cyborg."

"But you wouldn't love to see your girlfriend?" Raven teased. Being Scarlet Gem and Rachel for a period of time had made Raven a lighter person. Living without the memories of who and what she was for a time had lifted a burden that Raven had never fully understood she had, having lived with it her entire life.

"Didn't we already establish that I don't see you enough? The excitement over getting to see you is a given." Dick glanced at his watch. "We should get going. Our reservations are in half an hour." And the two of them left for date number five. Or six if you counted the first one from months ago. Raven saw no reason to since no romantic feelings had been involved at the time, but Dick insisted on counting that first date. When she argued, he threatened to count him saving her as their first date, so she eventually gave in. After all, M'gann and Starfire had insisted, the two needed to agree on a date for their anniversary.

A/N: Thank you so much to everyone who reviewed, favorited, and followed. I probably wouldn't have continued this story if I hadn't gotten so much positive feedback from so many readers. A special thanks to LostPrincessHolly, All'roundCowgirl, notdeadyet1, Ryockucho-sensei, Hithros, xenocanaan, and DoDo1401 for their reviews. I hope everyone enjoyed it till the end!

Also, if anyone reading this is a fan of the anime Brothers Conflict, I'm thinking that's the fanfiction I'll write next. This fic didn't have as much romance as I originally planned, but the Brothers Conflict will have a whole lot more.
