"This is unbearable," Damian groaned as yet another girl waved towards the man besides him. She got up starting to come over.

"Being sociable helps with the cover, it's not my fault they're mostly women."

"Right, like you aren't flirting right back Grayson."

"Shush," Dick hissed as the girl approached. "Hello," he greeted.

"Hello yourself, what are you going alone?" She asked much to Damian's annoyance.

"I'm not actually, this is my brother Alex, I'm Sam." Dick replied introducing them by their alias' for the trip.

"Oh! Hello," The girl turned towards Damian holding out a hand. "I'm Linda."

"I wouldn't," Damian replied, referring to the handshake. "I've been sick lately," he lied letting out a fake cough.

"Well alright then," Linda responded withdrawing her hand and turning back to his brother. "What brings you on this trip?"

"Just a brotherly outing what about you-" Dick was interrupted by a series of coughs. He looked over to see Damian nearly doubled over coughing.

"I don't feel well Sam, I think I'm running a fever, I feel hot." Damian whined looking up at him.

"Maybe you should take your brother back to his room," Linda spoke up, looking concerned.

"I suppose I should," Dick relented. "I'll be back in a second, don't go anywhere."

"Another day Sam," Linda responded. "Take care of your brother first.

Dick sighed as she walked away before turning to look at Damian, only to find him already walking away.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

"Back to the room, we need to talk."


"Well? What is it?" Dick asked once they had made it back to the room.

"He left his room," Damian replied pulling off the wig he wore.

"Who?"

"The target? The reason we're on this cruise in the first place Grayson. Or have you forgotten that we are here on a mission and not to flirt." Damian snapped, grabbing the supplies he needed for the mission.

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"Because I couldn't very well say, 'Grayson the man we are to procure the information from has left his room for the first time,' now could I?"

"Okay okay, what's the plan then?"

"I'll get into the room, keep him busy while I get the information. I'll call you when I'm done."

"Alright, be quick."


Dick trailed the man to the bar area watching as he sat down. After a few moments Dick approached.

"Hey John! I didn't know you were here- oh sorry I thought you were someone else." Dick said a he took his hand off the target's shoulder.

"It's no problem mate."

"I feel bad for interrupting your evening, can I buy you a drink?"

"If ya insist," the man laughed.

"I'm Sam, what's your name?" dick asked sitting down.

"Max."


Damian watched as the screen clicked over to 100% then to 'Download complete.' He quickly packed up and left the room. He was about to call Dick when screams shattered the air. Damian put his phone away venturing towards the disturbance.

"Leak! Leak! There's a leak on the boat, everybody off we are going to sink!"

Damian quickly pulled his phone back out calling Dick.

"Grayson," he spoke as soon as the man picked up, "the boat is sinking."

"I heard, where are you?"

"I'm-" Damian was cut off as the boat suddenly rocked throwing him overboard which would have been fine, he was a strong swimmer, except for the pain that he felt as his head hit the railing and darkness quickly followed.


When he awoke the first thing Damian noticed was the cold he pried open his eyes looking around.

"Damian you're awake thank god!" Dick shouted rushing to his brothers side.

"Where are we?"

"Lifeboat headed to the closest store, you were thrown overboard and knocked out," Dick explained as he looked Damian over. "I think you'll be fine."

"Did you get the information?" Damian asked pushing himself up.

"Yeah you had in on you still when I found you. Are you cold?" Dick asked as he noticed the boy shivering.

"No, I am fine," Damian said attempting to stop shivering. It was hard though, the night air was cold and his clothes were soaked.

"You'll catch a cold Dames, you at least need to take off what's wet."

"And what do you suppose I change into Grayson?"

Dick didn't respond instead dropping a bag in front of Damian. Curious the boy looked inside seeing his Robin suit.

"It's not ideal but we couldn't leave it on the ship," Dick said flinching as Damian's wet jacket was flung over his face and the boy changed.

Being out of the wet clothes helped but Damian was still shivering. He grit his teeth as Dick wrapped him in a blanket and tugged him close.

I'm fine!" He snapped.

"You'll warm up up faster this way," Dick replied holding him despite his struggling. "How's your head feel?"

"Fine," Damian muttered giving in a bit.

"You'll have to take it easy for the rest of the night."

"Whatever Grayson."

Though he hated to admit it his head was still pounding and the feeling of Grayson's arms was warm and comforting. He let his head rest against the man's shoulder. Dick was warm verses the frigid night and even though Damian was usually against being cuddled it felt comforting. Thus, he decided that this time he'd allow it.
