eldabeTitle: Don't Tell Me Not to Fly
Fandom(s): DC Comics
Character(s): Lian Harper.
Rating: PG-13 for some creepiness.
Summary: Lian Harper came back to life in a world where heroes and villains never seem to stay dead. Now old enough to hold her own as a hero, Lian searches out the undisputed master of non-powered heroes in an age of superpowers. But Lian might not be the only one that has come back to life...
Acknowledgments:draconic_voices was the most fantastic beta ever, putting up with my absolute writer insanity. All remaining mistakes are completely mine. And thanks to iceshade, who shoved me back on track when I plateaued.
Complement:bliumchik put together an amazing mix to go along with this fic. It can be found here. .

Chapter Six
Epilogue
Jai was late, but he was the only one stuck in traffic. Cerdian came by sea, Bobby by air, Iris by foot and Damian had been downtown all day anyway. So they started without Jai.
“I think we should come up with a new name for ourselves.” Iris declared. “I’m not a teenager.”
“It’s a classic,” Lian argued, but her heart wasn’t in it. Names didn’t matter much, she decided.
“But we’ll have to call ourselves Titans East, because the real team is in San Diego now. And that’s a stupid name.”
“With a bad history,” Damian added. He wasn’t comfortable with everyone yet, but Iris was pretty easy. And Lian was still working on him.
“I still have to finish college before we can make this serious anyway.” Lian pointed out. “Cerdian’s still in high school.”
“I’m still in college.” Iris said defensively.
“And at three to six credits a semester, I’m sure you’ll graduate any year now,” Jai said, walking in the door. “Is there any pizza left?”
Cerdian passed him the box.
“It’s not like we’re real Titans anyway.” Bobby said. He was shirtless, but Lian decided to be grateful he decided to put on any clothes, considering the heat. Cerdian had been icing up drinks all day.
“It’s a name. It doesn’t have to be literal.”
“Descendants of the original group of superheroes known as the Teen Titans. We can call ourselves DOTOGOS KATTT” Damian suggested, deadpan, and they all laughed.
“That would look terrible on T-shirts,” Iris said.
“Secret identity!” Lian reminded her.
Jai put a hand in front of his sister’s mouth, to stop her from talking. “I have news, guys.”
Lian sat up. “Spill.”
“I got accepted to the psych residency for next year.” He paused, and looked at all of them to build suspense.
Iris peeled his hand away. “Where, you slowpoke?”
“Arkham,” Jai said smugly. “Most difficult program to get into in the country.”
“Congrats!” Lian said, as Jai received high-fives from everyone.
The conversation drifted to apartment in Gotham and Jai joked that he should probably ask for Bruce's permission to move. Lian wondered if sharing with Jai would be a better idea than staying in the dorms. She was keeping in touch with Jess, but secret identities were harder when everyone was living right on top of each other.
“Wait a second, stop!” Iris threw her hands up in the air. They all looked at her.
“See, now my point is even more important. Titans Gotham City is a horrible name!”
