"Calling all Titans, this is Cyborg. All members, come home as soon as you can."
You know, I don't think the mere *summary* of a fic has ever made me cry before. But the weight behind this - the knowledge of why they needed to along with what they would find when they got there. . .
Oh, and it just brought home that feeling of The Titans being a family and the Tower being home . . .
Yeah, it made me cry. For just a minute.
He... wasn't good at comforting people. "Vic," he tried softly, then again, "Vic... Cyborg!"
No, Timmy, honey, you're not, but it's okay, because pretty soon, you're really, really going to need some comfort of your own. *hugs Timmy.*
And, again, I really like how Vic's portrayed here - we see him hit stronger in this scene than when Batman was there, and it's very appropriate I think. Vic is more at home with the Titans and though he still isn't going to completely break down (with anyone who isn't Gar), it's lovely to show once again that the Titans are a family , and therefore it makes perfect sense that he'd allow himself a tiny breakdown - leader or not - in front of Robin and Gar. Because, as members of that family, they not only know the loss/pain he's feeling, but they're also part of his foundation and background - they're allowed to a degree that no one else is.
Does that make sense? Because. . .it's such lovely characterization for the Titans as a whole, and Vic in particular.
As was the fact that it only took one time calling Vic's code name to snap him back into leader mode.
Also? This is fab character bit too:
". . You put out the call, I'll work on food, supplies, and getting all of the rooms open--there are going to be some of us that don't want to leave again, once they know. I'll be happier if most of us are somewhere safe--this can't be over."
OH - Timmy.
I love nothing else more in fan fic than when bits reach up and sing the true character voice to me. You do this so often and well. And it's little things like Timmy concentrating on supplies and being Robin that grab me.
"Damned right it's not over," Vic snapped, his rage at this coming out.
And again, I love your Vic. I could pretty much write over 4000 words of love to your Vic, so take that, LJ BOX CONTENT LIMIT.
That was the woman who'd fought Trigon for her soul three times, the one that had been a Titan since he was still in grade school stalking Dick from the shadows.
You are . . .a vicious, *evil* woman for including that. So, so vicious. And you know full well why.*hugs Tim.*
And, thank you for giving Raven her complexity back. No, she's really not that Teenage Girl that her body is. Because.That.Doesn't.Make.Sense, DC.
She's a seasoned warrior, who has stood at battle against Trigon more than once - with Kory by her side.
Yeah, my throat? Started to get a little tight here, again.
Part I
