－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
You were born as a weapon, forged by the amazons from the clay of the earth.
You find friends. They surround you with love and support.
For a few precious decades, that circle of friendship creates an illusion.
That you are real. That you can relate to people. That you have a place in the human world.
Being a Titan allows you to defer your destiny.
You conveniently ignore the fact you are immortal.
And then they start to die, your friends. Because that's what real people do.
Wally first. Then the others.
Some, like Richard, fall trying to be something they are not.
others succumb to their own demons.
They are all just human, you see? Riddled with human frailty.
Not you. You just keep going.
You outlive them all.
Karen Beecher-Duncan, by then a feisty widow, dies of age-related illness in 2091.
To be honest, you and she were never close. Not like you and Dick, and Wally, and Roy...
But still, she is the last. The last of the Titans. The last of your friends.
The Last piece of the illusion that you cling to.
And you realize it has all been a terrible waste of time.
And you'll ask yourself..."What the hell was I doing, putting myself though all that pain and loss?" A human lifetime's worth.
Friendship was just a tragic game of make-believe. A long and harrowing way of delaying the inevitable.
It doesn't last. Once all your friends are gone, you're left with no company but yourself.
And no choice but to see yourself for what you are.
A weapon that was playing at being human for a while.
And you'll hate them for it.
I know I did.
You'll resent the effort you made to love mortals who could never sustain the act of loving you back.
It will be the worst feeling you ever know.
To have invested all that time for nothing.
But you'll finally have no more excuse to ignore what you are.
You'll be free at last. You'll be you.
Believe me, there are easier ways of achieving self-awareness.
Ways that don't take an eight-decade emotional roller coaster.
Donna: "Th--that's called life!"
Troia: "Yes, it is."
Their life. Human life.
But you don't need to live your life on their terms.
