[David Lance POV]

My reunion with Dinah was as emotional as anyone would've thought it would be. For the first time, in so long, I cried silently to the point I could not breathe or even think coherently.

All the feelings I had been bottling up, just came out, flooding me without restraint.

I was finally back home.

After what felt like hours of crying in silence, and they might have just been, I shared with Dinah my decision.

Oliver questioned if that was what I really wanted, not really pushing the subject but wanting to make sure I was certain, I reassured him, and my sister that was the case.

I was tired, so very tired of the game.

It was here when they asked me what I wanted to do then.

For a few moments I didn't answer, eventually however I answered that I wanted to study, to become a better version of myself, that I wanted to fulfill my potential.

A lie, partly at least.

It was true that I wanted to study, but beneath it all, I had other plans, other projects I wanted no one to know about.

Not even Raven.

I wasn't certain my goals wouldn't drag me deeper into an abyss I wasn't ready to face. And I loved Raven, and my family too much to drag them into this.

When things started to fall down, I wanted to be the sole focus of everyone's attention.

But that was for another time.

Not yet.

I still had time to enjoy before starting to plan, before needing to act.

"Hiding something again?" Raven asked calmly, floating into my room before settling in the bed.

I nodded. ~I am indeed. Curious? I might tell you if you ask.~

Raven smiled. "Everyone is entitled to their secrets. Besides, a bit of mystery makes you more attractive."

If she had asked, I don't think I would held it together.

I blinked, slowly turning to face her as I pushed my thoughts aside. ~Are you flirting with me?~ Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"I am," Raven admitted.

Would you look at that, it seems I'm a sucker for that kind of flirting.

~Consider me wooed then,~ I winked, wiggling my eyebrows.

Anywho. Time to investigate a murder! Like a normal guy, meaning without omnipotent powers! This is gonna be so fun!

"Lucifer you're doing it again" Detective Decker sighed, rolling her eyes.

[David Lance POV]

Time went by quickly after my return, and a lot of things happened in a very short period of time. To name a few, the team came to visit me, making my identity known to them.

With my permission, of course.

The meeting was somewhat bittersweet. I was fond of each of them, especially Superboy, who asked me why I was quitting, and; by the tone he was using, I could tell he was somewhat sad about my decision.

My answer to that question was because I was, which he didn't seem to like.

In the end, after a short reunion where we talked, they all accepted my decision without saying much.

After that, I started studying.

And soon enough, I managed to enroll in an Ivy University, the most prestigious university when it came to science. I suppose it helped that Oliver gave a big donation to the university and that my GPA was perfect.

With my admission to the university, and eager to start. Oliver bought me a ten-million-dollar penthouse in Ivy Town where Ivy University was located, giving me alongside the apartment a credit card for any expenses.

Telling me to dedicate myself to studying without worrying about anything else.

I would start this new chapter of my life by earning a bachelor's degree in biology, and genetics. Specializing in metahuman studies.

With that, I would have the necessary skills to start a path to replicate the 5-U-93-R pill. I had brought several with me, all I needed was the skills to replicate them.

"Ivy Town, I read they have some of the best libraries in the world," Raven commented, snapping me out of my long reverie.

~If that's the case I see a lot of dates ahead of us in our quest for the perfect library,~ I replied with a beaming smile.

"You were right, the team accepted me back without much fuss," Raven sighed.

That had been a rough situation, one I had managed to control by talking to each member separately. It helped that they still held me in such high regard.

The only one still on the fence was Kid Flash, not out of something for me, but because of how Raven had left, regardless of that however, he agreed to let bygones be bygones.

~I told you they would,~ I replied with a nod.

"I know you had something to do about that, so thanks," Raven replied.

I feigned ignorance to that statement. ~I did not. But you're welcome.~

Raven chuckled, shaking her head. "Ready to see your new apartment. Oliver had it decorated apparently."

I frowned. That sounded like something bad waiting to happen, I mean Oliver in his college years was a fuck boy, and I still haven't told him or my sister I am dating Raven.

I feel my apartment will be a vaginal enchantment trap for gold diggers.

"How much do you wanna bet your bed is heart-shaped?" Raven asked.

I frowned. ~Why would I bet on that? We both know it probably is.~
