Line #14 Heartwarming/TeenTitans


1	* There was a single issue dealing with Tim Drake after his father had been killed in ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis2004''. Taking the Batman route, Robin shuts his feelings in and tries to act cheerful (ending up being more cheerful than normal), and only Conner really knows what's bothering him and encourages him to talk to the team about it, which Tim still refuses to do. Later, when they are chasing Electrocutioner, said villain begins making father-insults to Tim (mainly alluding Batman as Robin's father, since he does not know the boy's identity), which causes Robin to beat him to a pulp in a sudden rage before the other Titans stop him. When he finally tells them what's wrong and Wonder Girl asks if he wants to talk about it, he hesitates before looking at them with tears in his eyes, muttering "Yes. Yes, I think I need to." We then close the issue with a panel of Robin being hugged by Wonder Girl, with all the Titans there for him and these words:
2	-->'''Robin''': For the first time in a week, I stop thinking like Batman. And I start thinking like a Titan.
3	* During the Dark Side arc of Teen Titans, Kid Devil goes into an UnstoppableRage and almost kills a brainwashed Hardrock, venting out out a great deal of pain and frustration from being seen as the weakest link of the team, beaten up, tortured by Clock King and told that no one loves him in order to condition him into a monster for fighting in the Dark Side Club. Miss Martian gives Eddie an IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight speech with her telepathy to bring him to his senses.
4	--> '''M'gann''': Eddie. No. Eddie, Please Listen...This isn't you. You're not a killer. What they did to you--what Clock King said to you... None of it's true. You're not a monster. You're not alone. You're not unloved. You're a sweet boy who had a dream to be a superhero sidekick and got to live that dream. You're thoughtful, funny and earnest. You're a Teen Titan, Eddie. You're a '''good guy.'''
5	* [[http://fyeahdickgrayson.tumblr.com/post/1162619032/awyeahtitans-and-here-is-a-bittersweet-shot-of This scene]], where the original five Titans — Dick Grayson (ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}), [[Franchise/WonderWoman Donna Troy]], Garth ([[Comicbook/{{Aquaman}} Tempest]]), Roy Harper ([[ComicBook/GreenArrow Arsenal]]) and Wally West (ComicBook/TheFlash III) — run across statues of them from way back when they were teenagers — as Robin, Wonder Girl, Aqualad, Speedy, and Kid Flash. They comment that even though their lives have taken so many twists and turns since the '60s that it's a miracle they're all alive, they are still together, still friends, and still Titans.
6	* Basically any time Roy Harper is together with his daughter Lian it is bound to make a reader go "aww" or start crying.
7	* During the Technis Imperative, as [[spoiler: Cyborg]] kidnaps current and former Titans all across the world and places them in virtual reality, it's not to torture or harm any of them (with the exception of the new Terra who [[spoiler: he]] thought was the old Terra). It was to make them happy. To give them everything they ever wanted. Even as a machine barely capable of human thoughts [[spoiler: Victor's]] first priority was making sure the Teen Titans were safe and happy.
8	** Which also doubles as a TearJerker, as when we get to Donna Troy's VR fantasy, we find her sitting in a white void, a hologram of her dead infant son sitting in her lap playing with her. [[spoiler: Cyborg]] tried to give a mother back the son she had lost.
9	* ''ComicBook/TeenTitansYearOne'', the modern look on how the original five founded the team, ends with Batman at his computer, trying to think of something that will convince Dick to come back and continue to be his sidekick. After multiple attempts with lengthy, emotional sentences, he settles on three simple words. [[spoiler: "Robin, come home".]]
10	* In the crossover with ''Red Hood & The Outlaws'' during ''ComicBook/DeathOfTheFamily'', which saw the Teen Titans teaming up with the Outlaws whilst trying to find Red Hood & Red Robin, Bunker & Arsenal are left to fend off Jokerized civillians whilst the rest of the team races to get a cure. During the fight, Roy's inner monologue pays a glowing endorsement of the Titan.
11	--> "You watch, he'll be in the ''Justice League'' before he's twenty."
12	* In another comic, Beast Boy gets one. He morphs into a parasitic worm, swims his way down into Brother blood's intestines to retrive Raven's chakra and back up again. He then later admits to Raven ''herself'' that he'd do it all again in a heartbeat for her. A ''very'' disgusting moment too yes, but still heartwarming nonetheless.
13	* In "Raven Reborn" after Raven was freed from both Brother Blood and Trigon's influence, she begins to experience emotions that she has long suppressed. The main one being love. In an issue prior to this one, she inadvertently uses her powers to make Nightwing fall in love with her, when she thought she was in love with him. When Nightwing starts slowly catching on, he lets Starfire, who was dating him at the time know what happened. [[ClingyJealousGirl Rather than get mad,]] Starfire talks to Raven girl to girl, taking her to Tahiti. She helps Raven understand what she did to Nightwing was wrong and Raven in turn asks Starfire to help her understand these new emotions. After that's [[Funny/TeenTitans resolved and she and Starfire prank Nightwing,]] Starfire learns to her excitement that Dick wants to move in with her. As if that isn't heartwarming enough, after the return home, she went to Cyborg's home, the latter hosting a BBQ for the Titans. Because she arrived, she thought he was hosting a private party and didn't think she belonged there and left in a haste. Upon returning home, she listens to a message Cyborg recorded prior to her trip with Starfire, showing much to her excitement and embarrassment, that she was invited as well and assigned to bring pop, prompting her to come back and enjoy the festivities.
14	* Roy and Lian helping Damage in ''Titans'' #17-19, after learning Damage's foster father repeatedly sexually abused him is this and a TearJerker. Roy brings the younger Titan with him and Lian on a camping trip in Arizona because he could tell Grant was feeling depressed after attending a trial for his uncle, Doctor Polaris. In a heated moment Grant blurts out his foster father used to hurt him and all but flat out says he was molested. Roy reacts to Grant's admission with horror and empathy while trying to make sure Lian doesn't get hurt because Grant's volatile emotional state might cause his powers to erupt. The two Harpers relate to Grant stories about the Navajo and how they deal with grief, and Roy has Grant direct his anger towards him so Grant can finally have an outlet to express all the pain and self-loathing he's felt. Instead of ending it there, Roy brings Grant to Oljato, the Navajo reservation Roy grew up, because it will give Grant a space where he can finally work through his anxiety and trauma without feeling self conscious about being around people he knows. Grant stays there for the rest of the series. The entire situation is a refreshing example of how abuse-related trauma ''should'' be handled, and at the same time demonstrates how much Roy has grown as a person after all the neglect he went through, and the perceptiveness Lian has developed despite being so young.
15	* In ''Teen Titans'' Vol.3 #55 Wonder Girl [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pScx8BN4h3s/SWNKOc8k45I/AAAAAAAACPU/UwBPV0d3nQ4/s320/igle+-+teen+titans+55.jpg kicks Supergirl out of the team pretty unfairly]]. In issue #66, Cassie apologizes to Kara [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pScx8BN4h3s/SWNKbcL4-mI/AAAAAAAACPs/nPhQBV7ZQPs/s1600-h/tt66+-01.jpg for pushing her away]], and [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/4/4d/Wonder_Girl_and_Supergirl.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120824164103 both girls make up]]:
16	-->'''ComicBook/WonderGirl:''' So... This we can be '''friends''' again?\
17	'''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}:''' Tch. Cassie... When were we ever not friends?
18	* In ''Teen Titans Rebirth'', Damien sacrifices himself to try and have his team spared. In return, the other Titans come to rescue him from his Grandfather and Cousin.
19	* In volume one, issue ten of ''ComicBook/NewTeenTitans'', Changeling confides to Cyborg that he reminds him of his old ComicBook/DoomPatrol teammate Cliff Steele/Robotman and that their growing friendship inspired him to reconnect with Cliff after he found out he survived the original Doom Patrol's sacrifice at Codsville.
