Final chapter guys! Warning: sad, depressing. Please review.

Funeral.

I walked into the living room, ready for the funeral.

I was dreading this day all week.

All of the Titans wanted to come to the funeral too.

I wore a knee length, full sleeved, black dress, opaque tights, and black flat boots that went up to just above my ankle.

My hair was tied up into a neat bun. Everyone else was dressed in black. I was happy that they wanted to come to my parents funeral even though they didn't know them that well. Nathan and Gray knew them but that was from ages ago, and my dad didn't like Gray.

"Ready to go?" Nathan asked me. I nodded.

The church was nearby so we walked instead of taking the car. Everyone is going to be trying to talk to me saying that they're sorry, what happened, how I feel. I don't want any of that. That's one thing I hate about a funeral is that.

We arrived at the church first. The mass was horrible. The tension was unbearable but I didn't care. I had to go up onto the altar and say something before mam and dad left for the grave. My voice was weak and sore. I kept the talk short and got to the point.

"Mam and Dad were like every other parent. The only difference is they raised a child, without complaint, that isn't like everyone else. They raised a child that has the ability to control the elements. Even though they had none, mam and dad still helped me control them, whatever way they could. When they felt I was in control enough they let me move to the T Tower, to live with my friends. Yes we had bumps here and there, the occasional fight but that's normal. We were still a normal family. Mam kept your secrets safe no matter what, dad chased away the boys he didn't like." There was a small chuckle from everyone. "Again that's normal. How they died isn't." I caught Nathan's eye and he gave me a small smile.

"Mam and Dad were murdered, not the way you were told in the paper. That was cover-up story. Slade murdered mam and dad because I didn't follow some rules that he had set. He did bad stuff to me but I let him do it to let my friends go. It was unfortunate that he had killed two of the most important people in my life but the pain he caused to every person here was unforgivable." I said and walked from the altar and down back to Nathan. He took my hand in his and squeezed. "It's ok." He said as I fought tears.

The mass was eventually over and we walked to the graveyard, following the two coffins of mam and dad. My granny and granddad from both sides hugged me.

When we got to the graveyard the priest said a few words and allowed everyone to say goodbye for the final time. I didn't really say goodbye. I could feel them standing beside me, dad's protective arm around me and mam's head on my shoulder like she had used to because I was taller and was just the right height.

Rain began to fall heavily and everyone left for their cars. I guess there was going to be a gathering afterwards. I was definitely not going. You walk into the room and suddenly everyone stops talking, letting you know that they were talking about you.

"We'll meet you back at the tower." Robin said. I nodded, walking over to the grave. I knelt down beside it. I physically couldn't cry anymore. I ran out of tears. Depression won't be good for Starfire's baby. I need to snap out of it. It's not like they're not here. They're standing each side of me. I looked up and saw both of them smiling down at me. I just got my side effect power. The ability to see ghosts of my family. I smiled.

"Hi guys." I said.

"Hello dear." Mam said.

"I never knew that your funeral would be so sad." I said.

"You gave a fantastic speech in the church." Dad said proudly.

"I bet no one expected me to come out with the elements thing." I said smiling.

"I didn't think you'd come out with it. Especially the Slade part. By the way, he died yesterday due to injuries." Mam said.

"Was that my fault?" I asked.

"No. He was struggling with the police so they had to beat him to calm him down." Dad answered.

"Are you two taking turns in answering or something?" I asked, laughing lightly.

"Yeah."

Something clicked in my head.

"You knew about my side effect power didn't you. You knew that I'd see you at my wedding." I said, everything making more sense as I said it out loud.

"Here's boyfriend. Talk to you later hun." Mam said and they disappeared suddenly.

"Hey. You've been out here for ages. Are you all right?" Nathan asked.

"Yeah. I'm coming now." I said getting up.

"You look happier. Did something happen?" Nathan asked as he put his jacket over my shoulders.

"Let's just say I found my side effect power." I said as he tucked me in under his arm.

"You can see ghosts and now you can talk to your parents without being sad." Nathan said.

"How did you know?"

"I saw you talking out loud like you were talking to them so I guessed." Nathan said. Mr know-it-all.

"Yes. That is it. And Nathan." I said stopping.

"Yeah?"

"I think this is overdue." I said, reached up into the tips of my toes, and kissed him.

"I love you." he whispered in my ear.

"I know." I replied and walked on with him, knowing mam and dad saw the whole thing.

"They watched didn't they." Nathan guessed.

"Yup."

"So did mine."
