Time. Wish I could have saved the Time. Wish I could have pressed rewind.

Wayne Manor

A funeral taking place outside at the cemetery where the Titans said goodbye to their friend, teammate, and Dawn’s crimefighting partner, Hank Hall. A priest was reading from the bible about how the young man’s life was taken too soon and how the Lord will welcome him with open arms into the gates of heaven.

The former Ballerina sat in a chair in front of her ex’s casket as she kept crying and hunching down trying to hold it together even though it was failing. Dawn still blamed herself for killing the love of her life. She didn’t get to say ‘goodbye’ or ‘I love you to him. The blonde blacked out all she remembers was blaming herself for what she did and with D*ck holding her realizing what Jason did tricking her with the trigger of the gun that killed the love of her life.

Kori wrapped her around Dawn holding her knowing it was not only difficult for her but for everyone on the Team. The redheaded beauty couldn’t believe that Jason, someone they should have pay attention to him, to train him more, to care, would have killed their own teammate. A family member. She had tears running down her face while trying to be strong for her best friend.

Connor bowed his head down in shame as he blamed himself for not being fast enough to deactivate the bomb from Hank’s chest. The horror in his eyes, the heartbreak to see nothing but ashes and body parts with the room being completely destroying. Krypto bowed his head down to his owner as he laid down on all fours.

Garfield looked down at his hands shaking his head not wanting this to happen. The green-haired teenager couldn’t believe someone he used to call a friend was now a cold-blooded killer that killed Hank. He held a red rose in his hands.

D*ck sat beside Dawn with his right arm around her and felt Kori’s hand. He felt like he was reliving the nightmare of his parent’s death. The former Boy Wonder regrets of not going up to Hank to see how he was doing or not saying goodbye in person. He was mourning deeply just like his ex-girlfriend now closest best friend.

All three; The former Ballerina, Boy Wonder, and Princess were holding a single red rose in their hands.

Garfield and Connor were holding a single white rose in their hands.

They all have an objective now; either to put Jason up in prison for good or in Dawn’s case; revenge.

The Priest uses his hands to do a cross in the air than closing the bible in his hands.

First, Connor and Garfield respectively walked to their big brother figure’s casket with each other gently placed the roses onto the blacktop coffin. They grabbed a piece of dirt and sprinkled it onto the casket. Both boys walked to the back.

D*ck got up from his seat taking a few steps and placed the rose next to Connor and Garfield’s roses. He placed a hand onto the casket, “I’m sorry. Your death will not be in vain.” The former Boy Wonder said low under his breath vowing than walking back to his seat.

Then Kori pulled away from Dawn as she breathes out wiping her tears from her face and taking a few steps to her dear friend’s coffin. The redheaded placed the red rose where she spoke low in Tamaran about the lords guiding Hank to heaven, protecting Dawn, and a miracle to recovery from this tragedy. She takes her seat next to Dawn.

Lastly, the blonde sighed as she wiped her tears away while pulling herself together and getting up from her seat. Dawn wished it was her in that casket instead of Hank. She wished she wasn’t stupid and should have listened to D*ck instead of acting on impulse. The nightmare pattern will keep haunting her that she killed Hank. It was her fault. She puts the red rose with the others and puts her hand on the top cover, “I’m sorry Hank, I’m so sorry. I love you and I’m sorry that I never got to say that to you or be by your side.” Dawn apologizes as she felt tears rimming around her eyes again and felt very still.

The former Boy Wonder got up from his seat to walk up to his friend knowing she will never leave her spot. D*ck guided her back to her seat slowly and put on a brave face not only for Dawn but for everyone else on the Team as well. 

The road to recovery from a tragedy, the wounds will heal up; eventually.
