Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2013, Early Saturday Evening [Part 2]

As the last graduate took his seat with his diploma, a faint rumble rattled the folding chairs.

The noise grew louder and the tremors grew worse and true to Fandom graduation protocols, a invisible, impenetrable dome came down to separate the graduates from the rest of the audience.

The rumble faded away into uneasy silence.

Then:

"Dig...Lett...DIG!"

Now might be a good time to see what's in those ACME boxes, grads...

"Well, I assure you I am not so invested in the two of you together," Raven said. "I am invested in your happiness...and I could become invested in you and the hooded man."

Because unf.

Dinah snickered, then hugged herself. "I kissed him. Weeks ago. Because I wanted, you know, to see what he'd do. Which was mostly stare in shock."

"Was it a good kiss?" Raven had to ask.

"Yeeeeah." Dinah grinned, looking down. "I should've given him more warning. But. It was very good. I said I wanted him to quit playing games." She shivered, rubbing her arms. "I might go to Starling City, if I don't see him around New Gotham soon."

"And I will expect a full report," Raven teased. "I am disappointed you did not tell me this sooner!"

She had a terrible fake pouty face, though.

Snickering, Dinah defended herself, "First there were future kids, then we were in a dungeon, then we were in Japan... I should've told you in Japan. I'm sorry!" She paused. "And now I'm wondering what that would've been like if Arrow were there too. Hmmmmmmm."

"That is true, and I am not really upset," Raven said, nodding. "Perhaps you will have to invite him to our next social gathering then. He owes me a favor for healing him, does he not?"

No, not really, but she'd pretend.

Dinah bumped shoulders with Raven. "Bad girl." But her tone and emotions were the direct opposite. "Maybe? That's... yeah. I really do need to talk to him. Get some things clear."

Like, would they ever be more than fight-and-flirt buddies? Would he ever give up a name? Did he already know hers?

"Reminds me; how're you doing now? It's been a couple months since the mess with Eric. And then the vampire thing hit again. And now going to Kaeleer..."

Raven's smile faded a little. "I am fine," she said. "I have been doing my best to prepare myself for Glacia. I know it will not be easy there, but...I will do my best. Karla and her people need me, and I will not disappoint them."

"I know you won't." Dinah gave her a contemplative look. "But.. humor me here. Anything got you worried? Anything I can help with?" She didn't think there had to be. But it was a huuuge responsibility. Even bigger than Karla's problems, at least when they first got there.

Raven fell quiet for a moment, staring down at her lap. "It is nothing anyone can help me with," she said. "Though I appreciate the offer, of course. There are things I must settle within myself, and no one else can do that but me."

"Okay." Good enough. Dinah hugged Raven against her side again, and said, "I'm here if you need me. And so's New Gotham, if you ever need a break." She grinned. "And Alfred's cooking."

"I know, and thank you," Raven said, finding a smile again. "It is hard to say how much time we will have to spare, but I hope there will be some. There is Sookie and Bobby's wedding to look forward to, for one thing."

"Yes. I vote all wartime activities be suspended for wedding stuff when it happens." Heh. And maybe for when Warren asked Karla...? "Gonna be an interesting summer."

"It certainly will be," Raven agreed.

And hopefully not half as bad as she feared it might be.
