Roy awake the next morning with the sun shining brightly in his face. He moved to black the sun with his arm, but winced at the pain her felt. It hit him then that he had been injured last night. He examined his bandages and decided he should clean the area and change them to prevent infection.

He glanced over at his clock which read 4:00 PM. Good he thought, he still had time to get ready. He slowly made his way to his bathroom. He unwrapped the dirty bandages and threw them away. He cleaned the wound and rubbed some ointment re-wrapping once he was finished.

Slowly making his way to his closet, he stretched trying to wake his lithe body up. He no longer was the sinewy teen he used to be. His muscles were a lot more defined with broader shoulders. He had a growth spurt after leaving the Titans and now stood at a comfortable 6'5.

He slowly pulled out a white button up shirt and black slacks to wear to the reunion. It was funny, the invitation didn't even mention a dress code. He wondered how everyone else would be dressed. He scratched his head and shrugged. Oh well, as far as they knew, he was no longer a superhero.

6:20 quickly rolled around and it was time to go. Roy made his way to the subbasement of his building where his private garage was housed. He glanced at his bikes. Tempting. No, he would take a car, he decided as he opened the door to his R8.

The drive went faster than expected and he had arrived early in front of the library. He glanced at his watch. He still had about 5 minutes before the time on the invite. He figured they wouldn't mind that he arrived early and pulled into the parking lot. To his surprise, there were already a few cars in the parking lot, a few bikes, and even- he did a double take- yes, even a moped.

He found a parking spot towards the back and slowly made his way up the walkway. He was nervous, but tried not to let it show. He pushed in the front doors to the library and was immediately greeted by loud chatter. "Funny," he chuckled to himself,"no strict librarians around to shush everybody."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," came a playful voice to his right. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped. His mind blanked. Time froze. Nothing existed in this moment, but him and her. "close your mouth Harper, you'll let flies in," she giggled.

There before Roy stood a picture of perfection. She was always shapely as a teen, but now as a woman, she had a perfect hourglass figure. Her bust, always a bit larger than girls her age, was plumped further and perky as ever. Her waist thin with hips that made him want to touch her, just to see if they were really as smooth as he envisioned them. His gaze made its way to her face, they skimmed the pouty lips she complimented with a deep red lipstick. He looked further up and was lost in her eyes. The amethyst pools pushed him over the edge and he soon forgot who he was and why he was here. She placed a hand on his shoulder, " are you okay Roy?"

Amazingly, he was able to find his voice, even if it was weaker than his usual baritone. "I'm fine, I just didn't expect you.." he trailed.

"To be here?" she asked.

"To be so beautiful," he blushed as he realized what he had just said. He saw her blush as well and she turned facing further into the library.

"The party's upstairs by the way," she smiled. "A few of the others are already here."

He smirked, " Yeah I bet boy scout was the first one here."

She chuckled as she realized he was speaking about Dick, "You guessed right," she added with a smile.

She made her way up the winding staircase and he followed close behind her. He admired her body as she climbed ahead of him. She was wearing a tight midnight blue dress that hugged her curves perfectly. His gaze lingered a little too long on her ass and he hoped she wouldn't notice.

"You know, if I didn't miss you so much, I would throw you out the window of this library for staring at my ass like that." She glared at him, but he could feel she wasn't serious, at least not fully. He was lost staring at her beauty again, when he was suddenly trapped in a bone crunching hug.

"Friend Roy! Most Joyous! We have missed you!." Kori couldn't contain her excitement.

"Kori… can't…. breathe…." He managed to force out before he ran out of air. Kori quickly released him smiling sheepishly. Well at least it was good to know that not everything had changed. He walked into the room being greeted by Dick.

"Hey Roy, how have you been man? It's been a while." He smiled at Roy taking in how he had changed in five short years. Roy also noticed all the not so subtle changes in dick. He was no longer the shrimpy kid with short man syndrome who felt the need to boss everyone around. He too had a growth spurt and now stood only about an inch shorter than Roy.

"I've been good, you know just living life as much as I can." He answered Dick with a grin.

"Still single huh?"

Roy dropped his grin, "Yeah," he looked around and caught Raven's eye and added, "but, hopefully, not for long." Dick followed Roy's gaze and saw where his attention was and smirked.

"So are you going to talk to her? Or are you just going to stand here and make goo goo eyes at her?" He snickered at his own joke.

"What are we? 10? Come on Dick you can do better than that," laughed Roy. He smoothed his hair and decided he would finally do it. He looked at Dick and stated as seriously as he could, "I'm in love with her Dick, and tonight, she'll finally know it."

Dick smirked and nodded. "I always knew." Roy stared at him wide eyed. How could he have known? He never told anyone. He didn't ever act on his feelings. How could he have figured it out? Dick must have sensed his confusion and added, "I wasn't the protégé of the greatest detective in the world for no reason you know."

Roy laughed and relaxed a little. "You're right, I was probably pretty obvious back then."

"No, honestly, I think I'm the only person who picked up on it. If it wasn't for how you said goodbye to her the day you left the Tower, I probably would still be in the dark."

"Well Dick, I'm about to let another person in on this secret." He flashed a smile and walked away. Dick didn't even have to ask. He knew his friend well.

Roy slowly made his way to where Raven stood talking with Kori. "Excuse me gorgeous ladies," he smiled at both of them and faced Raven," can I borrow a little moment of your time?" He asked her.

Raven looked to Kori and she smiled and nodded, " Ok Roy, what do you need to talk to me about?"

Roy watched Kori walk back over to her husband and turned back to Raven, "Is there anywhere we can go in here that's a little more private?"

"There's my office downstairs."

Roy stared at her. Her office? Of course! Her comment earlier about the librarian. He should have known. He nodded and let her lead the way. The walked into a cozy, but not cramped office decorated to look almost homey and comforting. Count on Raven to make herself comfortable amongst books.

He closed the door slowly behind him as she switched on a desk lamp so they wouldn't stand in darkness. "So what did you need to talk to me about Roy?" She asked calmly.

He stared at her. It was now or never. "Raven, I…. well, umm… I," he stammered and cursed himself inwardly. She smiled at him and waited patiently for him to say what he needed to say. "I….I'm in love…." He paused unsure if he should continue. He pressed on anyways, "with.. you." He slowly looked up from the interesting spot he had found on the floor.

She said nothing. Her mind was reeling. She looked like a deer caught in the headlights. This wasn't supposed to happen. It had been years since she had seen Roy. He shouldn't be able to affect her like he was. There he stood in front of her. He said those words she ached to hear as a teen. Her vision was turning black. She felt the ground come up fast, she wasn't aware however, that Roy had been there to catch her as she had already passed out.
