22 memories & marshmallows
Oh, by the way, guys, who should I cast as Selina Kyle? Comment and vote!

Val POV
I manage to pull everyone together into the computer room. We needed to pull aside these problems or work them out. Still, in the same clothes, I stood beside Damian and the rest semi circling themselves around us.
"Listen up. Guys, we need to stop this. We are brought here by our pasts. Why they make us so unique, special. We all have our pasts, our backstories who make us who we are today and how we all meet each other. But we all know that somehow the past always comes back to us, manages to catch up and give us one last fight. This, this is Damian's past and it catches up. So as a team we need to overshadow that past and help him if Damian your willing to let us join?"
He just nods his head.
"I guess your right, I mean it's been a year since the battle of Trigon," Rachel says "And that's my past,"
"You're right," Gar says
"Sorry, Damian. For that," Jamie apologises
I nudge Damian "I should apologise too. For shouting and retaliating I guess,"
"I'm sorry for doubting you as well," Donna says
"Yeah, same," Gar says
"So, we're all good?" I say
They all smile at us.
"Dames, can you tell us about them," I say
He puts up the hologram
"The demon's fist, a school of assassins presided by Ra al Ghul himself. They are brainwashed tools. All they know is violence. Their final task- before graduating into the league and becoming a full member- is to kill a target of their choice. They have mined databases, crunched algorithms and conjured prophecies before deciding on you. Someone they anticipate as a rival- a sun to their moon. They would never admit this, but to them, you represent everything good and hopeful that's been missing from their lives," Damian explains.
"As said before they all have targets. Blank, Target: Beastboy. He can turn into an albino animal, including the albino version of any person. Not that we can't distinguish them from that,"
"I'm still the better looking, stronger, sexier looking one of course," Gar brags turning his head slightly to the side, one hand on his chest and smiling.
We just chuckled and Damian smiled rolled his eyes "Whatever makes you sleep at night,"
"Stone. Target: Wondergirl. Super strength and earthmover. He is shielded by his rock skin," Damian states
"Moving on Nightstorm, target: Blue beetle,"
"He's fast I'll give him that," Jamie says.
"He can bend the weather to his will. Weaponizing it into a hard wind or gusting himself into flight. Plague, target: Raven,"
"We had a thought battle, she's good, I barely beat her," Rachel says
"Her diseased touch can rust metal, rot wood, crumble stone and decay skin," Damian states.
"Augury. Target: Valkyrie. She is a highly-skilled assassin and primal weapon is ring swords that she throws. She designed them to come back like a boomerang," Damian said
"She was easy to take down," I shrug.
Damian smirks. "Last, Mara. A skilled swordsman, Martial artist, devilishly brilliant mind,"
"I can see how you two are related," I say
"My, cousin. She's the daughter of Dusan, son of Ra al Ghul, known as the white ghost. He died during Slade's take over when I was ten," Damian said
"Sheesh, that's one hell of a scar. Hey, I can see the green eyes you both have," Gar says
"Oh, I did that," Damian just said calmly putting the hologram away.
"What?!" Gar, Jamie and Donna said.
"Yeah, I did that to her when we were seven so I could remind her that I was always better," Damian shrugged.
"Damian, I love you. But that is just mean to do to your own cousin," I said
"Her side of the family is un - prominent to the al Ghul family. She only went up the ladder since I left,"
"Even the Demon's fist understand this. Each assassin chose us as individual targets cause of what we represent," Rachel said
"Light," Donna said
"hope," I added on
"Super sexiness," Gar said
Jamie just facepalmed in the embarrassment of his best friend. "Val told you already, you ain't Justin Timberlake,"
"Um, one I'm so much better than Timberlake. Two I was referring to us," Gar said "Ah, Duh?!"
"We need something to take our minds off this," I say
"smores!" Gar says
"Will do it on the beach," I say
"Bags getting the wood!" Gar says
"No, I'm doing it!" Jamie says pushing Gar out of the way
"The one who gets the most sticks gets more smores!" Gar says getting into a wolf and running out the door.
"You're on!" Jamie says
"Children," I say
"Without a doubt," Rachel says and we both laugh
"What are these 'smores' you speak of?" Donna said
"You never tried?" Rachel says
Rachel and I just look at each other. We have found our mission.
"You are going to try smores," Rachel pulls Donna to get the stuff.
I look at Damian and wrap my arms around him and his on my waist.
"You're sitting next to me," he said
"I know,"
"On my lap," he smirks
"...Fine, I'm going to get Titus," I say but he just grips onto me tighter.
"I want a kiss first," he says
I smash my lips onto him, with him only deepening it. I part it with him groaning.
"Why did you do that?"
"Come on, why don't you keep an eye on Jamie and Gar before they do something dumb," I say
"Fine," he says

While Damian was with Gar and Jamie finding sticks I was with the girls getting the marshmallows, crackers and chocolate.
"These are so good," Rachel and I turn our heads to see Donna with a mouth full of Marshmallows.
We just laughed at her quirkiness. "You might want to save some for the rest," I say
"fine," she puts the bag away. She adjusts her grey beanie that so happens to have a star on it.
"Someday we have to have a girls night," I say
"Yeah," Rachel says
"Come to think of it Jamie will be leaving in two years," I say "He's already seventeen,"
"Yeah, we just have to make the most of it," Rachel said.
"Yeah," Donna says "Rachel, are you courting Garfield?" Donna just randomly asks
Rachel just blushes.
Oh my god!
"Rach!" I then started squealing.
"Uh, no," Rachel says
"Oh, I see," Donna frowns
I just laughed, and couldn't stop. This is precious. My belly ached.

Heading downstairs with Titus barking and chasing seagulls the boys put logs around the campfire, which was held by a large circle of rocks. Night overtook the sky with the sky being absolutely clear making the stars shine brightly and the moon is in its crescent phase. I sat next to Damian who just pulled me onto his lap, and kissing my neck. He gave me a stick and Rachel, sitting next to Donna, 'magiced' the marshmallows on our sticks.
The sweet aroma of toasted marshmallows hugged the air around us. Eventually, Damian shifted his legs so I could sit between. I was on my third smore with Donna on her-, well I lost count. All I could tell it was she had a lot by the amount of chocolate and marshmallow goo on her face. Gar was telling us what happened with Gar as he accidentally knocked down a tree when trying to reach a good stick. We laughed about good times, past stories, memories. From how Damian first challenged Jamie to recent events. Titus was eating a marshmallow and a cracker I gave him.
I wish I could freeze this moment.
I got ARI to take photos, snapshots of these moments. I wanted it to stay like this. If only. When I said the past catch up, when would mine come back? No, it couldn't, right?
^^^
Packing up and putting out the fire with Damian, the rest have already gone back. Putting out the fire Damian looks out at the bay. He's thinking, I knew that face. I smiled and walked up to him wrapping my arms around his waist and my chin on his shoulders.
"Hey," he said
"Whatcha thinking about?" I say
"The past," he says
"Hey," I make his head turn to me. "We're here for you,"
I put a hand on my hand on his cheek "I'm here for you," I emphasise on I'm
"What did I do to deserve you?" Damian cupping my cheeks.
"Being you," I say giving a kiss on the nose.
Titus ran where the shore met the sea, happily barking in joy. We watched him making us smile. Titus got bigger, which was normal since great Danes would grow quite large.
"Let's head inside," I say and we walked back inside and Damian whistling to Titus signalling to come with us.
I wasn't bothered to go to my bed so I slept with Damian for the night with Titus sleeping on the floor with a big pillow to comfort him.

Sorry, it's so short.
Oh, Who should I cast as Selina Kyle?
