Kory selects a song on the jukebox, as Dick and Cassie grab a few snacks for everyone. It's Rachel's turn to bowl.
She gets a strike.
Gar laughs, "How?"
"That's just talent," Rachel grins and high-fives Tim.
Kory chuckles as Rachel cheers some more and joins the other two adults sitting.
Conner asks, "How did you even do it?"
Rachel just smirks.
"I can't believe it," Kory takes a sip of her milkshake.
Dick smiles, "I know, right? Doesn't seem like the bowling type, but she's beating Conner."
Cassie smiles as she watches the kids.
Kory chuckles, "No, not that. A few days ago, I didn't think we were gonna make it. And now here we are, goofing off in a bowling alley."
"We got lucky."
Kory looks at him, "Is that what it was? Just luck?"
Dick sighs, "Plus skill and strength, courage, teamwork, brains. But yeah, mostly luck."
"I think it was mostly teamwork. We're here because we worked together, all of us. Not just luck," Cassie grins.
Kory smiles back at her.
Dick just rolls his eyes and slips his hand into her, giving hers a gentle squeeze.
Conner shouts out after getting a strike, "Okay!"
Kory cheers and Dick claps a little. Cassie laughs and cheers too.
Tim and Conner hug as Rachel shakes her head. Gar laughs at them.
Kory chuckles, "Oh, he finally made one."
Conner walks over to Rachel and she high-fives him, "See that? Thank you."
Dick looks at Kory, "You seem different."
"Yeah?" She asks softly. "I feel different. I feel free. Like I just paid off a debt. Or quit a job I hate."
"Like your life is your own again?"
Kory nods, "Yeah. Or maybe mine for the first time. Since I've met you how many different destinies have I had? Four?" She chuckles softly.
"Oh, well, let's see. Um..." Dick starts to count. "Kill Rachel. Save Tamaran."
Cassie adds, "And rule it."
"Mmm," Kory nods.
"Kill a bunch of other people." They laugh. "Save Gotham. Take care of your sister. Am I forgetting one?"
"Become a Titan," Cassie smiles.
Kory adds another one, "Survive the RV."
Dick and Cassie laugh.
Tim is taking his turn to bowl.
"Yeah." Kory sighs, "Right now, my only destiny is bowling alley pizza and a bad night's sleep. And I'm so good with that."
"Back away Robin. Pick up the spare," Gar says.
"One sec," Tim jogs over to him.
"What about you?" Kory asks.
"I'm just glad we're all together."
"What about you Cassie?"
"Be with the people I love, that is all I need," she placed her head on Dick's shoulder.
