I don't own an of the dc characters, sad but true.


The giggling girls sit in a circle.

"who wants to go first." Nell, who's a little to excited, shouts.

"Calm down we're getting there, Nell" she smiles sheepishly.

"This is my first sleepover, ever!" Milagro plops next to Nell, an pokes her playfully.

"Then why don't you go firsts." Nell nods.

"okay, iris truth or dare?"

"Truth" lian leans close to her.

"Chicken"

"okay, iris do you like Damian Wayne, aka robin?" Iris glares.

"Yes" her whisper is almost Inaudible.

"What was that iris, I couldn't hear?" Lian jokes.

"Okay, YES I like Damian Wayne. My turn right?" The rest of the girls nod."mar'i, truth or dare?"

"I will choose the dare, please."

"Okay, write a note to the boy you like, telling him that you like him; stick it under his door. You don't have to put your name on it." She nod, Nell hands her a note pad. She scribbles some stuff down.

"Shall I read it to you?" The group nod. She blushes. " okay, dear jay, you are my only Shlorvax. - a girl, I will put it under his door when we finish our game." Nell raises her hand.

"What is a Shlor-a whatever you said?" Mar'i blushes, again.

"It is like a dream or wish." All the girls 'aww' in unison. "Friend Milagro, would you like truth or dare?"

"I'll take dare, hermana" mar'i thinks for a second.

"I dare you to lick my pet silkie" she pulls out a slimy giant moth larva.

"What is that thing!?" Mari frowns

"He sensitive, he's a mutant moth larva. He can't get any bigger. He was my moms." Milagro haves the giant bug and licks it.

"'hat was the nathest thing I've ever dun" she wipes her Tongue on her sleeve. "Okay, Lian truth or dare"

"Truth!" She smiles.

"Why do you like Colin?" Milagro wraps I her blanket.

"He's so cute, nice, and brave." She states. "Iris truth or dare?"

"Dare" she replies.

"Go to the kitchen and make us some popcorn; if anyone sees you you have to kiss that person, on the cheek is fine." The speedster stands, determined not to be discovered. knowing her luck she'll probably get discovered by the only person she'd be uncomfortable with kissing; She zips out of the room

Lian jumps up and bolts out the door, the rest of follow; it's all they can do to not wake the whole mountain with their laughter. Lian crosses the hall and starts rapidly knocking on a door.


(Mt justice- Damian's pov)

'The heretic' I type into the database. Headlines and pictures of the man fill the screen, I reviewed everyone of them. There was Nothing I didn't already know.

I have three things I need to know/have planned before I can take him out.

1)where was he created

I have a pretty good idea, but I have to be one hundred percent sure.

2)who I will need to defeat him.

I had originally thought I'd do it on my own, but it has become apparent I need help.

3)how I'm going to have the team distracted while I take him out.

This one will probably be the easiest, I'll just tell them in with bats.

I follow my only lead for problem number one, Cadmus. The computer brings up previous knowledge of the underground facility, mostly collected by the previous young justice.

I scroll past all that, and down to the 24-hour security feed that was installed by guardian before he left. My clone would have to have been created around a three years ago. I jump back, and as I'm about to push the play button I hear... Giggling? Why is there giggling? I stand from my computer and walk to the door.

As I'm about to go out and see what could be so funny that all the girls would be laughing that Loud; someone began beating on my door. I jerk the door open, only to be ripped out of my room by a bunch of girls.

"You need to stand here, and don't move." The red headed archer demands.

"How long do I need to stand here?" I ask, a Cheshire grin creeps it's way across her face.

"Oh you'll know." With that the girls bolt for Lian and iris's room. Well that was weird, I really have to get back to my research. I glance at my attire, it's summer so I'm not wearing a shirt but I have my nightwing sleep shorts on.

It's pretty crazy what kind of merchandise you can find for a superhero in their city. There is underwear with me and batmans face on it, that's creepy.

My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of very fast footsteps. That's when it hit me, literally iris ran right into me, Lian had set this whole thing up. We lay in a jumbled mess of limbs and popcorn.

"Oh-uh hi Damian. What brings you into the hall at this fine hour?" She smiles. I can sense her distress. I stand up and pick the small girl off the floor. For fifteen she's very small.

"Lian told me to wait out here, are you okay?" She sighs.

"Well...we were playing truth or dare and..." I can defiantly see where this is going. "I picked dare and my dare was to go make popcorn and if anyone caught me I have to-" she stops.

"You have to, what? Oh come on it can't be that bad, I can take it." I'm prepared for a punch or a bowl of popcorn to the face. But I was defiantly not prepared for what happened. She leans in and kisses me, just a soft pecking the check, but a kiss-is-a-kiss.

She suddenly become aware of the clothes I'm wearing. Her clothes is much more modest than mine. She has a large flash shirt and red shorts on. She blushes and turns to run away, I reach out and grab her hand.

"Hey speedster girl, did I tell you how beautiful you look?" Her blush intensifies.

"No" she smiles."but you should do it more often" I let her go and she retreats to the same room all the rest of the girls now occupy.

I love her; But I have to wait before telling her, our relationship hasn't progressed enough. But Before our relationship goes anywhere the heretic must die.

(Iris pov)

"I can't believe you did that, Lian. It was so awkward, HE DIDN'T HAVE A SHIRT ON." But you liked it, I thought. How can I like something so much yet hate it as well.

"Did you hear how he flirted with you, he's totally in love, and you're going to have three or four cute little bat Babies." All the girls giggled at lians predictions. I wish that was her super power, It would be pretty cool.

"Well then lets continue on with our game." Milagro interrupts our thoughts.


( Wednesday morning )

The groggy orphans eyes popped open to the scent of meat. Colin loves meat; it's a food they rarely eat at the orphanage, it just cost to much.

He quickly scans the room. Damian's bed is empty, and looks untouched, there are papers and files all over the room.

He jumps out of bed and grabs a comb, his hair likes to have a contest every night. It's called 'how closely can we resemble a lions mane'.

He maneuvers through the stacks of files and random papers to reach the computer desk, where a completely exhausted looking Damian sits scrolling through government files.

He lightly taps the robin on the shoulder.

"Damian? This isn't healthy you need to sleep." He continues tapping the boys shoulder, he almost seems like he's in a trance. Until he quickly clutches the redheads hand.

"You sound like pennyworth" his voice is gravely from the lack of sleep, and extensive mumbling.

"And you sound like batman. It's time to get ready for training. I'm headed to the shower now." Damian nods while rubbing his eyes.

"Thanks, I guess I got a little carried away and lost track of time."

"What are you looking for anyways." He grabs the top paper from a stack taller than their littlest

team member, Nell. The paper is a clipping of a news paper, the title reads

Arabic scientist disappears.

On Sunday the well known geneticist, Rico kanji, went missing for his home. Police believe it to be a kidnapping...

The next paper is a picture of the villain who had killed Damian less than three years ago.

Colin is speachless, Damian is trying to go after his Murder. Is he trying this by himself?

"I know what your thinking, and no im going to try this on my own. Grayson is going to help me."

"I want in!" Damian shook his head. "I can't let my best friend die again. Bruce and Grayson wouldn't make it through that again"

"Okay, whatever. But right now I'm just doing a little research."

"A little" Colin gestures to the mountains of papers and files.

"Okay maybe the file rooms are a little emptier now, but I found what is was looking for."

"what's that?" Damian pulls a paper off the printer and hands it to Colin. It's a picture of 'the heretic' (as the caption states)."so, this is the guy who killed you."

"Look what he's wearing." Colin looks back at the page, the much older version of Damian is wearing a shiny white jumpsuit.

"Is that..?" Damian nods.

"A solar suit, yes Cadmus created this monster. Now I believe you were on the way to the shower, you better go quick or you'll miss breakfast." At the mention of food Colin's tummy grumbled.

"Okay" with that Colin ran for the shower.


(Wednesday, in the kitchen)

"That's so gross!" Nell squeals, as the 'food' mar'i had 'cooked' crawled across the floor. Nightstar sighs.

"I'm not a very good cook"she slouches in her seat. Jay, who is currently chasing the 'food' around the kitchen, frowns.

"No your not. Chasing the food is a lot more fun then just eating off a plate!." She sits up and blushes.

"You really think so" jay dives on the 'meat' is squirms.

"Ya!" He says with complete seriousness.

Iris sits ,nervously tapping her fingers, at the table. She had contemplated many things since her last meeting with Damian; first of which is the stories she knows of the bat-boys. Her father had told her many tales of Richard and Tim charming their way of out of tight spots.

she has finally come to the conclusion that Damian must flirt with every girl. She had seen how he looked at nightstar, and if his best friend hadn't been so obviously in love with Lian she was sure he'd have flirted with her as well. She would not let herself become just one of the others.

Lian plops in the chair next to iris and sighs.

"Boys" she shakes her head at jay and Colin who wrestled the alien meat monster, and are now taking turns biting it. "Whatcha thinkin about?" Iris smiles.

"Revenge" she says with a hint of smile in her voice.

"What else would be thinking about as your brother wrestles and eats an alien cuisine?" Lian says sarcastically, "so you and Damian?" She waggles her eyebrows, Isis shakes his head.

"he was just being friendly, you know how the batboys are." Lian rolls her eyes.

"or he's completely in love with you, and you're just being stupid."

"Who's being stupid?" Iris tenses as the very person they had been talking about is voice echoes behind her. She wipes around, coming face to face with the 16-year old boy.

"No one, did you hear about our training today?" He shakes his head.

"I have not" he sits in lians, recently vacated, seat.

"We have some type of training mission"

"Oh! Really?" He smirks. "I hope I'm on your team."

"Why?"

"I don't know, I just think it would be interesting. And..." He glances around to check if anyone is watching nervously plays with her hair. "Can you keep a secret" he whispers, she nods. He leans close ."the boys are an offal team." He stands up, smirks, and disappears to join the boys, who had regrouped after finishing off their breakfast.

sorry of or the strange ending, I'll have more shortly. We leave Indiana friday and it's a 12 hour car ride back to Oklahoma, to do my best writing on car trips.
