Sam had been walking for a while, he knew Dick was nearby somewhere but he'd gone straight to the top of the building while Sam had stayed low. He didn't know what was going on upstairs but the brothers made a deal, if they needed the other they had a button they'd press to notify the other.

Sam was nervous. He'd not been on many missions, well, any missions before and this one was so important. He had to find one of them. He walked around the bottom floor, going from room to room until he found a locked room.

"Now correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems important." Sam said to himself.

Sam placed his ear against the door to see if he could hear anything, but he couldn't hear anything. Sam examined the door again. Maybe if he just ran at it hard enough, it would fall over. Sam didn't think anything bad could come of this... Of course after running into the door, his shoulder was sore. Maybe there was a key around?

"Now... If I was a key, where would an asshole hide me?" Sam asked as he began looking around.

After looking for a while, he came across a selection of necklaces, with charms... One of them being a key.

"I think I'll take that." He swiped the key and headed back to he door, he liked stealing things

Sam inserted the key, turning it and it opened, letting some light into the room. The light shone directly onto a tied up Anya, earphones over her ears and a blindfold on her eyes.

"Anya!" Sam ran up to her, disregarding any danger that could've been in there, and took off her earphones,"I found you, you're gonna be okay."

Anya lifted her head up,"Sam?"

"Its me." He removed her blindfold and tossed it aside,"I'll get you out of here."

Anya blinked, getting used to the light before she smiled,"I've never been more happy to see you and light."

"I'm very pretty, I know.' Sam hummed as he took out a knife and began cutting her restraints.

"Fuck." Anya winced, once her hand restraints were gone, she quickly hugged Sam. She needed to feel someone.

Sam was taken aback slight but hugged her,"I missed you... And Jason."

"I missed you too." She sighed, shaking her head,"Fuck- Jason."

"What- Did something happen to him?"

"He's up there with him-" Anya went to get up but her legs just gave away. She was weak.

"Shit- It's okay, Dick is here-"

"That's who he wants, he's gonna kill him, Sammy." Anya looked at her.

Sam froze. Kill? No... no! He couldn't let Slade kill either of his brothers and so he picked up Anya and started to run.

"Just leave me, I'll be fine. Go get him." Anya shook her head.

Sam sighed and put her down, running up the stairs as fast as he could. When he got to the top floor, he just got there as he heard a scream, Dick diving to grab Jason as he began to fall from the balcony.

Sam's body locked up as he fell forward. Falling... He was too late. He couldn't save Jason.

Dick quickly leaned over the edge before getting up,"Go, go. Sam, Kory! Go downstairs!"

"Not again.." Sam repeated to himself, he was shaking.

"Sam, it's okay. Come on." Kory took his hand.

Sam rubbed his eyes and squeezed Kory's hand. When all three of them got downstairs, they saw a boy with Jason in his arms, unharmed.

"Jason!" Sam ran over to the pair,"Y-you saved him."

"Yeah... I guess I did." The boy smiled, letting go of Jason.

"This guy just saved my life." Jason panted.

"I'm glad you're okay." Sam put a hand on his shoulder.

Jason hesitated before he hugged Sam. Sam hugged back, holding onto him tightly. He'd nearly lost Jason and he wasn't going to let it happen again.

Their hug was quickly stopped when gunshots were heard and the body of the new boy hit the ground.

"Shit-" Sam jumped.

Although there was no one in sight, Dick quickly ran up, Kory following with Anya holding onto her,"Jason? Sam? What the hell just happened?"

"Some guy saved Jason and he got shot." Sam shook his head.

"Fuck- Let's... Let's get him home with us." Dick sighed

"Yeah... We have to help him." Sam nodded.

*********************************

Anya sat at her desk, watching some YouTube on her computer. This room was her safe place... She didn't want to leave.

That's when there was a knock at her door and a familiar voice,"Anya?"

Anya pulled her blanket closer,"Mh?"

"Can I come in?" Sam pushed open the door.

"Mhm." Anya hummed.

Sam smiled and walked in, sitting on Anya's bed.

"Better not have been training, Kitty." Anya pointed.

"I haven't, I promise." Sam patted a spot beside him,"But you look tired."

"Only... A little." Anya admitted.

"Cone on, I think you need cuddles." Sam held open his arms.

Anya chuckled and turned off her computer, climbing onto her bed.

"Hi." She hugged him.

"Hi." He smiled down at her.

"You're warm." She fell back onto the bed.

Sam giggled,"I'm really good at cuddles."

"I'll rate it out of ten." Anya leaned into his chest

Sam rubbed her back, still smiling down at her.

Anya turned her head, hearing his heartbeat as she closed her eyes,"I think... I need my medication."

"Medication?"

"Mhm." She nodded.

"I didn't know you were on meds."

"I have been for a few days. Make me sleepy." Anya whispered.

"Did... Slade give you them?" Sam pulled her closer.

Anya nodded slowly,"Every time I was gonna use my powers... He gave me some."

Sam sighed,"You don't need that anymore. Just sleep."

"It made me feel nice, Kitty." She hummed.

Sam sighed and stroked her hair.

Anya looked up at him,"Are you mad?"

"No, I'm not mad."

"Promise?"

"I promise, now sleep."

Anya closed her eyes, laying her head on his chest,"Sam?"

"Yes?" He looked down at her.

"Thank you." She smiled.

"No problem." He smiled back.

After a little while, Sam could hear the change in her breathing, she was sleeping now. Sam gently let her go and laid her down as he got up, deciding to check on Jason. He wanted to make sure he was okay.

"Seems like someone has a little crush." Sam heard a familiar male voice speak from the corner of the room.

"What the.." Sam froze up as he turned around.

"Don't bother lying." Bruce pointed.

"What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing in a girls room?" Bruce gasped, opening drawers in her room.

"I was checking on her since we're friends." Sam crossed his arms as he started walking,"I'm going to see Jason."

"Friends." Bruce scoffed and followed him,"Sure you don't want a bra?" He threw it at him.

"No, I do not want a bra." Sam hissed as he walked off

"It's blue, you like it." Bruce hummed and threw it back in Anya's room, closing the door after them.

"Stop following me. I left you for a reason." Sam shook his head as he looked.

"Well I'm back." He looked around,"You all have let this go yo waste."

"Stop talking."

"Or what? You'll get out the claws?"

Sam clenched his fists as he tried to ignore Bruce, still looking for Jason.

"He's in the training room, Samuel."

"Just- Sam, okay?" He sighed, heading towards it.

"Always Samuel to me." Bruce shrugged.

Sam shook his head and walked into the training room,"Jason?"

"I just wanted to check on you, see if you were okay." Sam leaned against the doorway.

"All good." Jason answered.

"Of course he's okay, fifteen feet of free falling probably did him some good." Bruce walked past Sam.

"I'm sorry for how I acted before." Sam shook his head,"I was a jerk for no reason."

"It's all good, Sammy. Don't worry." Jason sighed.

"More people should drop their problem children off buildings. It clarifies the mind and body. Just like those drugs your girlfriend was taking." Bruce hummed.

"I'm always here if you need to talk to me, okay?" Sam looked away.

"That should do it. Sorry always makes things right." Bruce pointed.

"I know man, I'm sorry for being a dick as well." Jason sighed

"It's okay, we're brothers." Sam smiled softly.

"Brothers." Jason nodded slowly,"How's uh- How's Anya?"

"Sleeping." Sam sighed,"She told me about the drugs Slade gave her."

"Hey man, I would've told you about them but I was just so shaken up from the fall." Jason shook his head,"She's gonna feel like shit if she doesn't get them. So expect some down moods."

"I will... Oh! And training just- Get some rest okay? I know it's a bit hypocritical but, Y'know.." Sam trailed off.

"Yeah, rest will help. Maybe he should get some pills. Some uppers, downers, in betweeners... Anything." Bruce leaned against the wall.

"Yeah, I'll go to bed soon." Jason shrugged.

"I'll check in with you later." Sam slowly walked off,"Night, Jay."

"Night Sam."

"That went well, you think?" Bruce asked.

"Why are you still here?" Sam questioned,"And why can nobody see you?"

"Son, I believe you're ridden with guilt and I'm your conscience."

"What- Conscience? You?" Sam crossed his arms.

"Who else?"

"I'd expect maybe, I don't know, myself?"

"Of course not." Bruce scoffed.

"So you're telling me I have to put up with you? For how long?" Sam went to walk away.

"However long you feel guilty for."

Sam groaned and walked into the kitchen.

"Oh- Someone's awake." Bruce disappeared as Sam saw Anya slowly walking through the hall.

"Anya, I thought you were sleeping." Sam crossed his arms.

"I was." Anya nodded.

"And now you're not." He walked up to her.

"You should be asleep too." She pointed with a smile.

"I was going to sleep, I just wanted a snack." Sam shrugged,"Come on, let's get you back to bed."

"Will you stay?"

"In your room?"

She was hesitant to ask but she nodded,"Please? It's too dark.'

Sam nodded and walked over to her,"Let's go."

"You have to promise you'll sleep too." Anya took his hand.

"I will." He gently squeezed it.

Anya hummed and walked back to her room. Sam smiled at her as he followed her.

*********************************

"Hey hun." Gar ran up to Sam.

"Hey babe." Sam smiled at him.

"How did you sleep?"

"Quite well, you?

"I actually slept good for once." Gar got some food.

"I'm glad." Sam hummed.

"Where were you last night?" Gar handed him a banana.

"Anya was scared, asked me to stay in her room." Sam told him.

Gar sighed,"She okay?'

"I hope so, she seemed alright." Sam nodded slowly.

"Hopefully. Jason's in his room, I saw Rose go in earlier."

"I see."

"Wonder what they're doing." He hummed.

"Probably something fun." Sam leaned against Gar.

"Sam... When a boy and girl love each other-"

"Gar, no!" Sam covered his mouth.

"It's true!" Gar spoke muffled.

"Dirty boy." Sam hit him with the banana.

"Ow!"

Sam sighed and kissed his cheek,"Sorry."

"It's alright, make it up to me later." He smiled.

"I will." Sam hummed.

"I'm gonna go check Rach, yeah?"

"Yeah."

Gar kissed his cheek before he ran off. Sam smiled happily before he opened his banana and began to eat it.

"Hey Sam, I'm heading out for a while. You're in charge of the teens, okay?" Dick rushed into the room.

Sam gasped excitedly,"Okay, okay!"

"Behave, yeah?" He pointed.

"Yeah." Then a thought hit Sam,"Wait, where are you going?"

"I... I gotta see some people."

"You seem like you're in a rush, is everything okay?"

"Yeah, make sure to check in on everyone. I'll be back." Dick got into the lift.

"But when?"

"I don't know Sam, soon." He assured him.

"Right." Sam nodded slowly.

"I'll be okay." Dick pressed the lift button.

Sam sighed,"I know."

Dick gave a small salute before the doors closed on him. Sam shook his head and decided to go check the others, starting with Anya. When he got to Anya's room, he heard some quiet music playing from her computer.

"What are you listening to?" He asked, poking his head in.

"Don't scare me like that." Anya jumped.

"Sorry." Sam chuckled,"How are you feeling?"

"A little better." Anya nodded slowly.

"That's good." Sam smiled at her,"Do you... Need anything?"

"Maybe." Anya shrugged,"Just some company."

Sam walked in, closed the door behind him and sat down on her bed,"Like this?"

"Like that.' Anya chuckled, laying back.

Sam lay back beside her, looking over at her.

"I'm sorry if I've been clingy since I've came back... I don't like to admit it, but I-" She sighed,"I got scared, Kitty."

"And that's okay. What happened to you and Jason... It was horrible." Sam shook his head,"I don't mind being here when you need me."

"I'm not keeping you from anything?" She turned onto her side to face him.

"Of course not." Sam did the same,"But I have been left in charge so I'll need to check in on the others at some point."

"Sunshine got left in charge?" Anya chuckled.

Sam smiled,"I'm the favourite."

"Only cause you're Dick's brother." Anya hummed.

"Well, that's not my fault." He edged closer to her.

Anya looked into Sam's eyes, taking a second before she did something she had wanted to do for a while... She leaned forward and kissed him. Sam was taken aback... But he didn't pull away. He kissed back as a warm feeling washed over him, gently holding her cheek.

Anya took hold of his wrist that was holding her cheek as she slowly pulled away, smiling, covering her mouth, "Oh my god."

Sam was blushing as he pulled away,"T-that was... Nice."

"We just did that." Anya looked at him.

"We did." Sam nodded as he sat up,"I have to go check on the others, just come get me if you want a round two."

Anya gently took his hand and squeezed it, nodding.Sam quickly kissed her cheek before he got up and walked out. As soon as the door closed, he excitedly ran to tell Gar. Soon enough Sam found him, he was in the games room playing his games.

"Gar." Sam walked up behind him, wrapping his arms around Gar's waist.

"Hello husband." Gar chuckled.

"Gar... Would you be mad at me if Anya and I kissed?" Sam asked, resting his head on Gar's shoulder.

Gar gasped, quickly turned over and looked at Sam,"You and Anya kissed?!"

Sam nodded,"Now are you mad at me?"

"No." Gar gasped,"When did it happen?"

"Just now." Sam smiled.

"Was it good?"

"Very. I might go back for round two after this."

"Round two? Oh it was good." Gar smirked,"I know you've liked her for a while."

"But I just wanted to make sure you weren't jealous without all my attention." Sam hummed.

"If she's the girl for you, Sammy, you get her. We can still have cuddles, she's not stealing all of them." He pointed,"I want you to get some good pu-"

"And that's enough talking for you, have a nice day." Sam walked out.

"Bye shared boyfriend!"

"Goodbye." Sam sighed, deciding to head to his room to prepare before going back to Anya's.

When he got to his room, the door was laying open... He swore he had it closed.Nevermind, maybe he accidentally left if open. But when he got to his bed... He froze. Spread out on the bed was a poster... For 'The Flying Graysons'

His parents and Dick were on the poster. God his... His parents. He didn't have the poster, Dick didn't want this to be the only memory Sam had of them... So how did it get here? Tears stung the corners of his eyes. Sam quickly grabbed the poster and hid it under his bed, he just... He wouldn't think about it.

Why would the poster be there? The only person who had it was Dick at the Manor, how the hell did it get here? Sam shook his head, he was so confused. How could it have gotten here? Because Dick certainly wouldn't bring it.

Maybe... One of the Titans found another copy, thought it would be a nice thing for Sam to see. Sam rubbed his eyes, don't cry. He would tell Dick about it when he got back, right now he needed to see Anya. Hopefully Dick was back soon. Maybe... He could talk to Anya about it after they did... Things.

Sam got up, trying to push the thought of the poster away as he headed to Anya's room. He finally got to Anya's room where he could hear some moving around

"Anya?" Sam opened the door.

"Shit-" Anya stopped jumping around, throwing her bottle of water down and quickly leaning against the wall, clearing her throat,"Hey."

"Are you... Okay?" Sam asked her.

"I am... Perfectly fine.' Anya nodded.

"Because I'm not." Sam shook his head and walked over, hugging her.

Anya looked at him, hugging back,"What happened?... Was it me? Because-"

"No, someone put a poster of my parents in my room."

"Oh- Oh Sunshine." Anya sighed and played with a curl of his.

Sam let out a small sob as he held onto her, trying not to cry.

"Hey, it's okay." Anya sat down on her bed, pulling Sam beside her but she pulled his head onto her lap, stroking his hair.

Sam curled up, trying to hide his face.

"Who put it there? Do you know?' She tried to calm him down.

"I don't know.' Sam shook his head.

"Well, we'll figure it out." Anya assured him.

"I want Dick to come home.."

"I know, Sunshine. Hopefully he'll be back soon." Anya kissed his head.

Sam sniffled,"Thanks Anya."

"Anytime. You know I'll help you with anything."

Sam sat up and kissed her cheek.

Anya gave a small smile,"We can save round two for when you're feeling more up to it, hm?"

"Yeah." Sam leaned against her shoulder,"How about a nap? Just a quick one."

"We can do a nap." Anya hummed.

Sam smiled up at her,"Sleep."

"You sleep." Anya chuckled and pulled him to lay back.

"Both of us."

"You first." Anya covered his eyes,"Shh, sleepy time."

Sam held onto her tightly,"I am."

"Sleeping people don't talk."

Sam snuggled into her. Anya laughed before she wrapped her arm around Sam's chest. Sam's eyes were closed and his breathing began to slow.

"See you in... An hour Sammy." Anya whispered as her eyes closed.

Sam nodded slightly. Anya gently kissed his head as she fell asleep.
