Chapter 44: Intertwined

WARNINGS: Sexual Content; Smut; Smoking

Titan took a drag from his cigarette as he stared at the city through the balcony. His mind kept jumping between Damon and Talia.

Titan cried heavily as he hugged the tombstone with his sister's name on it. He looked up as he saw her soul watching him.

"Talia?"

"I'm sorry, Titan. I had no choice," Talia apologized, "She would've killed Hope."

"Please, hold on. We can fix this! I can fix this," Titan reasoned, tears staining the stone he clung to.

"There is no fixing this. It's time to let me go. You have to let me rest," Talia said.

Talia lifted a ghostly hand, revealing a bright, glowing orb in her palm. Titan stood up to accept it.

"It's your turn to save our family," Talia said, "Please don't let me down."

"I won't, I promise."

Titan accepted the orb which fed him Talia's power.

The orb was a mutual agreement between the two when one of them died. That way they had a fail-safe, in case Lucifer ever needed to be put down.

Titan lifted his palm up, revealing the flaming orb which was his power. A tear slipped out of his eyes.

"You're still awake, huh?"

Titan sucked the orb back into his bloodstream and turned to face Matt Donovan.

"Trying to escape before morning," Titan asked.

"Kinda. Listen, can we keep this between us," Matt asked, zipping up his jeans.

"Sure, Ken..."

"It's Matt," Matt corrected, chuckling lightly.

"Right, Matt," Titan said, taking another drag of his cigarette.

"I can call you later. We can maybe do this again someday," Matt offered.

Titan put out his cigarette while blowing smoke from his nostrils.

"Lose my number, Matt."

"What? Why? I thought you enjoyed yourself," Matt asked.

"You're in love with someone else, and your dick is too small for me to waste my time," Titan said, "Close the door on your way out."
