A Talk
Immediately following the meeting with the other avatars, Cerdian attempted to speak to Jai, but the younger man almost literally vanished into thin air. Upon recognizing where Jai was headed before the battle, Cerdian couldn't fault him. He envied Jai's finding of someone he loved and who loved him in return. Cerdian had never experienced that in his young life and knew now that he never would. It was sobering, but there was little time to dwell upon it.

He had others to speak with before too long.

Leaving the Justice League headquarters, Cerdian bent the space between worlds and found himself at the front door to the West household. Dispelling his staff and creating normal clothing, rather than his robes, he walked to the door and knocked.

That knot in Iris's throat? Just became one massive knot in her stomach.

"Please Cerdian," she said, grabbing his hand, "Tell me what's wrong. Maybe I can help."

"Everything I've told you is the only way you can help. You just can't help /me/." he says.

"I have to go home for a bit. If there's time, I'll try to see you again before...before things with the Titans come to a head." he says, turning to go.

Iris felt helpless. What did he mean, she couldn't help him?

"Cerdian...wait." She wrapped her arms around him.

"I love you. Please don't forget that." No revelation in it or anything, just telling him the way she always had, in her own way.

Cerdian feels her arms around him and, finally, he allows himself to feel the despair that has clutched him since Prometheus first granted him clarity of his Sight. Before now, he could take comfort in the fact that he didn't know for certain if his visions would come to pass.

Now, he no longer had even that refuge to run to.

His arms wrap around Iris and he holds her, burning this image into his mind.

"I love you, too, Iris." Cerdian says, finally admitting at the end what he could never have said before now.

With that, he lets her go to return to the sea.
