23 Side by Side











Val POV

slowly opening my eyelids I'm under Damain's sharp jawline that could be without a doubt could be classified as chiselled, feeling a strong arm wrapped around his waist. Damian was only sleeping in his pants and with me sleeping in one of Damian's shirt cause I found it hilarious. It said 'I don't need anger management, I need people to stop pissing me off'. From what I could feel I must have changed into flowing PJ shorts. I stared at Damian's face taking in his features. He had long eyelashes, high cheekbones that must have been from his father considering from my last encounter with him, tanned skin that easily represents his Arab side of him. I saw one of his bright emerald eyes open and a small smile appeared. 

"Enjoying the view?" he teased.

I just frowned and turned the other way, he just chuckled his breathe grew closer to the back of my neck. Slipping a hand down to the floor, rubbing Titus head between his ears. I felt kisses peppering down my neck.

"Beloved,"

"What?" I said

"(Come here I want you)," he said in Arabic

"(Why should I?)" I said

"(Cause)" He managed to pull me to turn the other way and just hid under my neck. "(I want to listen to your heartbeat, It calms me)"

"I need to work on something," I say

"What?" he says

"Something to track down the demon's fist," 

"Five more minutes," he mumbles

"Ok," I kiss his nose. "five more minutes,"

I sit in the computer room, reprogramming the coding. When I stole the codes several months ago I notice how vast and fast it could hack so it gave me an idea. I used ARI and every firewall and hacks I knew to keep this safe, with me only having access to it. If I succeeded in this I could find anyone, anywhere. It can hack to find anyone using satellites, lenses on phones, anything from wires to lenses. 

'System complete' ARI said

"Now we just need a name for it," I then looked at an add of chips. Hmm, it fitted the brief. 

Birdseye it was, now to find those bastards. Within minutes I found them, Saudi Arabia. I put the alarm on so everyone comes. Well, they had to wake up sometime. I pressed the button hearing some groans. 

"Val! Why did you do that?!" Gar said.

Donna and Rachel flew in along with Damian and Jamie behind.

"Found them!" I say

"Who?" Jamie yawned

"Demon's fist," I say

"That fast?" Jamie said.

"Where are they?" Damian said

"Saudi Arabia, anyone up for a little trip?" I say

"Nah, it's hot," Gar started walking back.

"Fine, you can fly there, will take the private jet," I smirk

"What? Private-, I'm in!" Gar said.

"Team, you've got fifteen minutes to pack," I say and everyone else besides Damian goes.

"What private jet?" Damian raises a brow

"You'll see," I say "Now go pack,"

"ARI, get the jet ready," I say

' Routing to Titans tower'

With my sunglasses and bag standing next to my teammates. The camouflage panels turned off revealing the black jet.

"Damn, you really have outdone yourself," Jamie says

"Wait till you see the inside," I say.

The back door opens and Gar and Jamie rush inside.

still children. 

Walking in the team looks around. Jamie flops onto the couch.

"This is the life," he says

"Your rooms are back there, bathrooms to the right, meeting in ten minutes, go unpack," I order

Jamie and Gar push each other trying to find the 'best room' even though they are all the same.

"Come on Dami," I grab Damian's hand to the meeting room where there are glass windows and inside a round table with chairs all around it. I tap the desk and a hologram of the titan's symbol appears.

"Cool," he says playing with the table.

We're gonna all look like the titans of the round table. Me and my amazing puns.

[][][][][][]

"Alright," Damian says

We all sit around the table.

"Valkyrie managed to pinpoint the demon's fist exact location. A hundred and fifty miles in the desert from the capital. A league base is there where the demon's fist is doing something there. We strike once we get there, the plane will hover a thousand feet from the base. There will drop down with Raven taking me down, and Wondergirl taking Valkyrie down. There will infiltrate the base and take down the guards and the demon's fist. But be prepared for anything," Damian says

"Thanks to Val's jet it will only take us eight hours, it will be in the middle of the night there giving us perfect cover," 

[][][][][]

The plane was in position, we got into uniform, had earpieces ready, and we were ready. Wondergirl took us down, stealthily landing on the hot sand. Going in, Robin and I managed to take down the guards not making a sound. BB turned into a cat, using it's petite and silent feet as an advantage to not attract any noise. He gave us the all-clear, we entered an empty room that walls were all an emerald green and golden railings. 

"Odd," Robin said looking around.

I headed to a wall that had stones piled on top of each other giving it texture, I found it peculiar, as it was the odd one out. My hand peached out to it but something grabbed me.

"Valkyrie-" Robin said

"Look who's still breathing," Stone emerged from the wall and soon the rest surrounded the Titans. Stone threw me back with the rest and I got into a fighting stance. 

"It was very stupid to come here," Stone said

"Mara would love to see you," Plague said

"As well as your mother, she's with her," Augury said

"Do you realise you have been brainwashed?" Robin said "You all have a destiny besides being slaves, being played, Blank. You and your sister Plague were kidnapped from your nursery, your family name is Minamoto- a samurai clan- and your swaddling blankets were decorated my your imperial symbol house of Japan. You, Stone, you come from Alagat Egypt. You were morn smaller than your father's hand- they called you their little pebble. Nightstorm you're from Argentina, your mother was an artist and your father an architect when you cried the windows would shatter and the doors would slam. Augury your from Greece, you're a descendant of Ptolemy IV Philopator, greek royalty. Before joining the league every assassin has to ready his own grave. Don't bother, your parents ready dug you one, and tucked and empty coffin into it, cause they all think you're dead," Robin explains. "tt, in a way you are,"

"Oh my darling son, welcome home," we looked to the stairs to reveal a woman in a black suit with brown hair, emerald eyes, high cheekbones, perfect body. A woman that demanded respect, she was beautiful, yes I'll admit it. That had to be his mother. Standing her was Mara, surrounded by assassins prepared to fight.

"Talia," Robin gritted his teeth

"I heard you were sad about my death four years ago, thank you, my son. I must apologise for our last encounter last time I used the Lazurus pit it changed me a little," she says

"Really, am I supposed to believe that? After what you did to me and father, and especially that clone? I think not Talia,"

"Be careful I'm still your mother," she said a bit harsher

"damn, your mother's hot, you don't look like a day over twenty-two," BB said

I almost choked on my own spit, did he-? I just facepalmed at his comment.

"Ah, thank you, it runs in the family doesn't it Damian?" Talia looks at him

I looked back to the demon's fist they were just standing there, it seemed Damian's words impacted them.

"Well, what are you standing there? Attack?" Talia growled to demon's fist "You're within a striking position of your targets and yet you stand there gossiping? How disappointing,"

"Kill them! What are you standing there for? Your master has commanded you! Kill them!" Mara points to them with her Sickle in them with rage. "Are you deaf?! Kill them! Kill them! Kill them! Damn it! Why Aren't You Listening to me!

"You stole us? I thought you said our parents gave us up to serve your cause?" Plague says

"Enough!" Mara jumped to attack Plague but I react quickly by holding the sickle with each side of my hands on each side in a clap position. I push it to the side and snap it. The assassins gather around us and both Blank and BB turn into bulls.

"So does this mean we're frenemies?" Jamie says getting a cannon ready

"Don't know about you, but all of this love in the air has made me horny," BB makes a horrible pun

"Really?" I say

"Does he always do this?" Augury says

"Sadly," I sigh

"I'm still tempted to kill you Beastboy, just to shut you up," Blank says

We attack I kick his sword out of his hand making fly up in the air, then jump onto him and wrap my legs around spinning around his waist then shoulder using the momentum to send him down then catching the sword in the air sensing someone attacking from behind and put the sword next to her neck. It was Robin

"Excuse me" He pouts

"Sorry," I say.

"Duck," he says I duck and he throws a Batarang at one from behind. I kick one behind him and soon we found ourselves back to back.

"Ever had a dance?" he says

"No," I simply say and punch one then knee kick him then tornado kick.

"It would be a pleasure to offer your first one," he smirks

"Gladly," and he takes my hand and spins me and I sidekick one with him doing one as well. He bends me backwards with his arms and I shoot someone with my cuffs. And he scoops me and makes me kick another one.

"Guys? Stop dancing, I thought you guys already had your date?" Beetle says flying backwards shooting lasers

He puts me down and I put my hands on his chest.

"I'm sorry but I guess we should part ways," I give him a small peck on the lips.

"You owe me a dance," he says

I then turn around and continue to fight I shoot two, kick one, punch one, then do a one-handed cartwheel using my legs to tighten his neck and bring him down. I sweep a person of his feet and roundhouse kick him in the ribs. I then see Robin fighting his mother and they seem to be having a conversation. I continue to listen to them while fighting.

"They're not just my teammates, they're my friends," Robin says

"Ahem," I say as I kick a person

"and my girlfriend," he says

"You could do so much better," Talia states

"She is the love of my life, don't you dare talk-"

"Oh I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to her," Talia says swing her sword at him. I just smirk at her comment. "She fights good, she will be an astounding Sprouse to have coi-"

"Mother!" Robin yells

(me just laughing there dying)

I hear a battle cry from behind and turn to see Mara with a sword raised above her head. Before she even comes to me I just kick her in the chest with no sweat and send her flying to the wall. 

Looking around we won, all that was left was a few assassins standing beside Talia and Mara.

"We have won, Talia," Robin says as we stood side by side with the demon's fist.

"I know, you may go," she just says

"Talia, we can still!-" Mara says but is caught off

"Enough, it is master to you!" she scolds "One thing you need to learn is how to fight your battles, we have not lost and you have not won," she held her head high

We began to walk out but Talia then says something.

"Stop," she said and we turned around "Damian I have one more thing to address,"

"What?" Damian hissed

"Don't you dare talk to your mother like that," she said. "Hurry it up with her. I want a grandchild, I want to become a Jida. Hopefully, the child has respect more respect coming from her side,"

(grandmother in Arabic)

I just flushed a bright red on my cheeks, I was only fifteen! 

"Mother!" Damian shouts blushing bright red. The rest were trying to hold laughs and BB and Blue beetle were laughing so much there stomach ached. I could see Mara smirking aima," Mara snickered and teased.

(aima Arabic for aunt)

"We should head out," I say and we turn around heading out, with Raven and Wondergirl nudging me and BB and Blue were teasing Robin.

The demon's fist stood in front of us.

"I'm guessing this is where we part ways," I say

"Thank you, for your service," Robin says

"You know Damian, you were a great leader. You would die for us before you tossed us," Plague says

"I guess we should find out who we really are," Nightstorm says

"I've sent you information about your families, hopefully, that will help," Robin says

"It was an honour fighting beside you," Wondergirl says

"As well as ours," Augury says

"I hope you find them and make amends," Raven says

"Killing you was supposed to change us for the better, it turns out the opposite is to be true," Nightstorm says

"Thanks?" BB says "See you later or not, Not would be totally fine,"

"Thank you Valkyrie for saving me back there," Plague says

"It's what we do," I smile

Nightstorm begins to lift them with wind and they fly off.

A nice breeze blows my hair behind me, and we watch the sunrise above the Arabian desert.

I get ARI to land the jet to land a hundred metres from us. Walking to it Jamie takes off his helmet.

"So Damian, Val what are you naming the kid?" Jamie snickers

We both blush as red as a tomato and me, being the closest to him kick the back of his knee and fell to the ground face first. He coughed out sand and I just marched back to the jet pissed.

"Villis! Et ad Infernos! Fillius B*! Ego F***ing Quindecium!" I swore in Latin
