Sam was curled up on a chair, resting his head on his arms. Anya hummed and put the hot chocolate in front of him, kissing his head.

"Thanks darling." Sam smiled at her as he picked up the cup.

"Find anything?" Anya sat in the chair next to him, spinning in it.

"No.."

"We'll find them, okay?" Anya assured him.

"I know, I know." He sighed.

"Gar is a tough boy, we both know that."

"But-" Sam looked down,"I ran, Anya. I hid."

"You did what was needed." Anya took his hand,"And you're here and you're okay."

"But I could've tried harder to help him."

"And risk you getting caught too? Going god knows where? Maybe getting killed?"

"If I saved him, it would've been worth it.." Sam sunk down in his chair.

Anya sighed and leaned over, hugging him. Sam leaned into her, resting his head on her shoulder.

"Don't blame yourself, okay?"

"It's so hard.."

"I know baby. I know." Anya kissed his temple.

Sam rubbed his eyes,"I want to see Dick... Why- Anya, you won't leave, right?"

Anya shook her head,"Never again. I promise."

Sam kissed her cheek,"Thank you."

Anya smiled,"You're very welcome."

Sam parted from her and took a sip of his hot chocolate.

"You hungry?"

Sam nodded,"What about you?"

"I am." She smiled,"Come on, take a break."

Sam sighed and stood up, slowly leaving the control room.

"What we hungry for?"

"What do we have?"

Anya opened the fridge,"Take your pick."

"Hm.." Sam scanned the shelves.

"I could make... Mac and Cheese?"

"That sounds nice."

"Yeah?" Anya hummed.

"Yeah."

"You're helping." She pointed, "Grab a pot." She ran to the radio.

Sam sighed and bent down, searching the cupboards for a pot. Anya hummed and put a music channel on, turning the volume up. Sam pulled out a pot and placed it on the counter.

"You know what we can never have too much of?" Anya went into the fridge.

"Cheese?" Sam asked.

"Cheese!" Anya brought it out.

"Yes!" Sam smiled.

"We're just so smart."

"Exactly."

"You're in charge of cheese." Anya grabbed the pasta.

"Ooh."

Anya hummed and danced as she boiled the pasta. Sam chuckled as he watched her, carefully resting his chin on her shoulder.

"You know what we should have?" Anya turned to face him.

"What?"

"A dance party."

Sam blinked,"Seriously?"

"Oh I'm serious." Anya smirked.

"Is this really the time for a dance party?"

"Cooking is always the time for a dance party." Anya pointed,"Sam- We haven't had fun in ages."

"I can't have fun knowing people I care about are in danger."

"I know, Sammy." Anya took his hands as she swayed,"I know hun."

Sam kissed her cheek,"Sorry for being a downer."

Anya hummed and looked at him,"It's okay."

Sam sighed and stroked her cheek.

"You've got nice eyes." Anya looked into them.

"I like your smile." He commented.

Anya smiled softly before she leaned up and kissed him.

"Love you." Sam hummed.

"I love you too." Anya hummed.

Sam stroked her hair, looking into her eyes.

"My hair is due falling out because of stress." Anya shook her head.

"I'm sure you'd still look good without it." Sam assured her.

"I'd look good bald?" Anya laughed.

"Probably."

"So would you kitty." Anya kissed his cheek as she drained the pasta.

"That's good for me." He hummed.

"Can you grab bowls, hun?"

"Mhm." Sam nodded, pulling out two bowls.

"And... You're in charge of cheese." Anya put the bowl down.

Sam gasped and excitedly looked around for a grater. Anya laughed and smiled, leaning against the wall. Sam managed to find one and began to grate the cheese onto their pasta.

"Thank you." Anya gave him cutlery.

"Your welcome." Sam smiled at her.

"And now, we eat." Anya nodded.

Sam picked up his bowl,"Yep."

"Food!' Anya ran to the couch.

Sam chuckled and followed after her.

"Rate it out of 10?"

"Eight." Sam hummed after taking a bite.

"Why an eight?" She gasped.

"Needs more cheese."

"Well that's your fault, kitty." Anya kissed his cheek.

Sam rolled his eyes and kept eating.

Anya finally finished her bowl and lay on the couch, her head next to Sam's lap,"Hi."

"Hi, darling." Sam sat his bowl aside,"What are you doing down there?"

"Just looking." Anya smiled.

"Am I that pretty?" Sam hummed, raising a brow.

"The prettiest." Anya laughed.

"But what about you?"

"What about me?" She raised a brow.

"Aren't you prettier?"

Anya shook her head.

"I don't believe you." Sam huffed.

"Well I don't believe you for not believing me."

Sam leaned over and kissed her cheek.

Anya wiggled her feet in excitement,"What time is it?"

"Affection time." Sam pulled her onto his lap.

"Affection time?" Anya held his shoulders.

"Affection time." He kissed her.

Anya laughed and kissed him back. Sam wrapped his arms around Anya's waist and pulled her closer. Anya's hands slowly went to his hair and- Just as things were about to get heated... A phone rang.

"You've got to be kidding me." Anya groaned and leaned her head on Sam's shoulder.

Sam winced slightly,"Wrong shoulder, babe-"

"Shit sorry." Anya kissed his shoulder,"I'm so sorry. I'll- I'll get the phone."

"Right." Sam sighed, he was really enjoying that.

"Yeah, hello?" Anya answered it, holding her head.

"Anya- Are you Alright?" Asked a familiar voice.

"Rachel?" Anya blinked, throwing a pillow in Sam's direction.

"Ay-" Sam grabbed the pillow,"Hang on, did you say Rachel?"

"Yes!" Anya pointed,"Rach? Whats wrong?"

"I-I saw... I saw Dick. He's in trouble. Bruce got most of us to meet at Elko but then we split up again." Rachel explained, clearly panicked,"Kory and I want to help Dick, Donna and Dawn are headed to the Tower."

"There's nothing at the Tower. Sam's with me." Anya sighed,"The people who had Connor came in and took Gar as well. I've got Sam with me, safe."

"Where are you?" Rachel asked quickly,"Me and Kory can come find you."

"We're at a safe house, I'll text you the address. Take a deep breath."

"Right- Uh, we'll be there soon." Rachel let out a small sigh.

"See you soon, Rach." Anya nodded and hung up.

"So?" Sam asked her,"Rachel's coming? What about Donna, didn't they leave together?"

Anya sighed,"Donna and Dawn are away to the Tower, to find out how to get Connor and Gar back. Meanwhile Rachel and Kory are coming here so we can get Dick.'

Sam nodded slowly,"Right."

"Once we get Dick, we'll meet up and get them back. I promise." Anya kissed his hand.

"Well, if its a promise." Sam hugged her.

"I don't break my promises." Anya assured him.

"I know."

"Let's get dressed." Anya took his hand.

"Good idea." Sam squeezed it.

Anya pulled him to their room, running to her bags.

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

Sam was waiting patiently by the couch.

"Take these for the road." Anya gave him some sweets as she sat on the couch.

"Hell yes." Sam smirked.

"Make them last." Anya warned.

"I will, I will." He assured her.

After a few minutes, they heard the door knock.

"That's them." Sam nodded, heading for the door.

"Check it first... Just in case." Anya walked up behind him.

Sam nodded and peeked through the peephole. Just as he thought, Kory and Rachel were on the other side so of course, he opened the door.

"Sam." Rachel let out a sigh of relief.

"Hey Rach." Sam let out a small sigh.

"Are you okay?"

"I will be." Sam nodded.

"Nice place we got here." Kory walked in.

"You can thank Bruce, he loved making these safehouses." Sam leaned against the wall.

"You guys ready though?" Kory hummed as Anya ran over.

"We are." Sam zipped up his hoodie.

"Yeah, it's good to see you guys.' Anya closed the door behind the two.

"It's nice to see familiar faces."

"Tell me about it." Kory sighed.

"Well? Shall we get going?" Sam looked between the three.

"Yeah." Kory walked to the car,"Last we heard he was in prison."

"You- Prison?" Anya gasped.

"We saw it on the news." Rachel nodded sadly.

"Of course! Of course he's in fucking prison!" Sam ran his fingers through his hair

"Hey, it's okay." Anya took his hand in hers, giving it a squeeze,"So we're breaking him out?"

"That's the plan." Kory told her,"I'd say we get a move on."

"Right, let's go." Rachel clapped.

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

"This the place?" Sam looked around.

"This is the prison." Kory nodded,"We need to find a way in."

"Let me." Anya hummed.

"With pleasure." Sam stepped aside.

Anya tilted her head, waving her hand at the wall as it changed to dust,"Cops are about." She sighed as she walked in.

"We'll just have to be sneaky." Sam hummed.

"You wanna go first?" Rachel asked Kory.

"Sure." Kory nodded as she stepped forward, leading the group.

"You know, as an adult you protect us." Anya hummed.

"Which is why you're all behind me."

"Such a good mom." Rachel nodded.

"Trust me, I know." Kory rolled her eyes.

That's when a cop came out of nowhere and began shooting.

"Shit-" Sam ducked although Kory set a blast of fire towards the cop.

"Holy fuck!" Anya jumped.

"Sorry." Kory turned to her.

"That's a bit hot."

"It's fire, hun."

More and more guards came around. They knew who they were and they knew why they were here so the guards had extra weapons.

"Just our luck." Sam sighed, fists raised.

"Shake what your mother gave you." Rachel sighed and used her powers.

"I'm sorry- What-?" Sam kicked a guard away.

Soon enough, after they had taken the guards down, they rushed to where Dicks cell was. But... It was empty.

"What- But- You said he was here!" Sam looked around.

"He was meant to be." Kory ran into the cell.

Sam leaned against the wall, holding his head.

"Where could he go?" Anya sighed and looked around.

"Hang on- What's that?" Rachel pointed at the wall.

Anya leaned forward,"Jericho is..alive? The boy Dick killed?"

"If Dick killed him... How is he alive?" Sam shook his head.

"That's what we need to figure out." Anya held her head.

"We gave to go. There's nothing left for us here." Kory sighed.

"So where we going now?" Anya asked.

"Well, we go meet up with Donna and Dawn." Kory told her.

"If we can find them." Rachel muttered.

"We will." Sam shot her a glare.

Rachel held up her hands and nodded,"Alright."

"Let's go, no fighting." Kory pointed as she began to walk.

"Sorry mom." Anya chuckled as they walked through the halls.

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

"If you aren't here, I'm gonna kill you." Sam muttered as he pressed the lift button for the Tower.

"This place is freezing." Anya crossed her arms over her chest to keep her warm.

"I did say the windows were broken and the power was out." Sam reminded her.

"But the power is back, surprisingly." Kory gestured to the lift.

"Maybe Bruce sent out a repair man?" Rachel suggested.

"Maybe." Anya nodded.

Sam quickly walked in as the lift dinged open. Everything was fixed... It was as if nothing happened, no horror.

"What... But- It wasn't like this before.." Sam shook his head.

"Bruce must've fixed it." Kory held her head,"He mentioned that at Elko, he needed to fix up some stuff."

Sam nodded slowly as he looked around.

"I'm grabbing drinks for everyone." Anya walked to the kitchen.

"Can I have water?" Sam asked.

"You can have water, Sammy." Anya assured him.

"Thank you." He hummed.

Anya grabbed some cokes for the girls and grabbed a glass, filling it with water for Sam before she walked over and handed them to them.

"Thanks." Rachel smiled as she took her can.

Just as they were about to drink, the lift dinged. Sam gripped his glass tightly and glared at the door. Anya slowly walked over and held onto Sam's arm until... Donna and Dawn walked out.

"Donna!" Sam put his glass down and ran to her.

"Oh kid." Donna quickly hugged him.

"Donna.." Sam held onto her tightly.

"You're alright." Donna rubbed his back.

"It was scary.." He whispered.

"I know, kid." Donna sighed,"I know."

"I tried... I tried.."

"It's alright." Donna patted his arm.

Sam leaned against Donna, looking at the ground.

"What are you doing here?" Dawn asked the girls.

"We came here to, well, look for you." Kory told her.

"Well... Let me guess, you didn't find Dick?" Donna asked as she rubbed Sam's back.

"No.."

"Come on, we gotta talk to you about what we found." Rachel nodded for them to come to the kitchen.

"What did you find?" Dawn raised a brow, following her.

"When we got to the prison... Dick wasn't there but something was scratched onto the wall." Anya climbed onto the counter.

"Jericho is alive, or so he says." Sam sighed.

"One things for sure, he's clearly lost his mind." Donna crossed her arms.

"Donna." Sam looked at her.

"We love him, Sam. But unfortunately he's digging himself a hole." Donna sighed, "So whats the plan?"

"The main Cadmus office building closes at nine and security drops down to ten. Its two at each gate and six roving inside." Kory opened the tablet of the map of Cadmus.

"So... We're gonna break into Cadmus together, get the guys out- Just the six of us? Yeah?" Anya spoke sarcastically.

"It's the only choice we have right now. Besides between you, Rachel and Kory we have enough power to get us through the front door." Donna pointed.

"About that.." Kory bit her cheek.

"Kory?" Sam raised a brow.

"My powers have vanished." Kory admitted.

"Vanished?" Dawn blinked.

"How does that go and happen?" Anya asked.

"I don't know how it happened, but they're gone now and I haven't been able to get them back."

"It's fine, I can cover firepower." Sam shrugged, looking at the drawers.

"Well what about you two?" Donna sighed and looked at the girls.

"Fully loaded, but I can't promise anything. My powers have been getting... Dramatic." Rachel nodded.

"For once, I'm useful. Everything's in order." Anya hummed.

Sam reached into a drawer and pulled out a handgun.

"You better be careful with that." Anya pointed to him.

"I will." Sam held it,"I stole it for a reason."

"Theres a disturbance at Golden Gate Park. Units responding, people are injured... Reports of a wild animal." Dawn Read the report that came through.

"That's my boyfriend." Sam sighed,"Let's move."

"Boyfriend? But I thought you and Anya were-" Donna began.

"I'm actually the side bitch." Anya chuckled.

"Yeah, Gar's the main bitch who got himself snatched." Sam agreed.

"Let's go get my boyfriend's boyfriend." Anya clapped and jumped off the counter.

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

"Why am I in the middle?" Sam sighed.

"Stop complaining, you've got two beautiful girls beside you." Donna chuckled, beside Sam was Anya and Rachel.

"But I'm in the middle." He groaned,"I'm gonna get stuck on the way out."

"Not if you climb." Anya shrugged.

"It always happens." Sam rolled his eyes.

"I'll be in the middle next." Anya assured him.

"You better." Sam pointed.

"I will." Anya smiled, taking his hand.

Sam gently squeezed her hand before jolting forward as the car stopped suddenly.

"Fuck Donna, I thought you were the best driver!" Rachel held her head.

"Sorry- There's someone in the road."

Anya leaned towards Sam to look out the middle, only for her hand to tighten in Sam's, freezing once she saw who it was.

"Deathstroke-" Dawn's eyes widened.

That's when he began shooting at the car.

"Get down!" Kory shouted.

"I'm trying!" Sam yelled

"Sam." Anya gripped onto him as they ducked down.

"We'll be fine." He assured her.

Anya nodded slowly before there was a bang on the roof of the car.

"What the-" Rachel looked up.

"Don't tell me he brought backup." Anya cursed.

"No- No, it's Dick!" Sam pointed

"Dick?" Donna looked out the window and saw Dick running at Deathstroke.

Although Dick wasn't Robin, he was in a totally different suit.

"And a new costume? Cool!" Sam giggled.

"What's the new name then?" Rachel wondered.

"Probably something cool.' Sam smiled.

"Blueboy." Anya shrugged.

"You never know with Dick." Kory sighed.

That's when they saw... Rose? And she began fighting Deathstroke?

"Heck yeah!" Sam clapped.

"Jason was with her." Anya looked around,"Maybe he's here?"

"I hope he is, I have to talk with him." Sam smiled.

"Hopefully." Anya nodded before... Rose stabbed Deathstroke.

Sam's view was blocked from where he was but he squinted and... He thought Deathstroke was on the ground.

"Hold on." Donna got out of the car and ran out to Dick.

"Hey- Wait for me!" Sam tried to escape from the car.

"Sweetie wait, just in case." Dawn shook her head.

"But Dawn-"

Dawn held up her hand for a second before she nodded.

"Yes!" Sam hurried out and rushed towards Dick and Donna.

"Sam? Sam!" Dick quickly hugged him.

Sam hugged Dick back but parted and slapped him across the face,"You asshole!"

"Wh- Okay... I deserve that.'

"I was so worried about you!" Sam pointed.

"I was worried about you too."

"I got shot."

Dick blinked,"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I fixed it. Anya made sure I did it right."

"So you and Anya, huh?" Dick smirked.

"And Gar." Sam crossed his arms,"But he's where we're headed."

"The carnival." Dick nodded.

"Well? What are we waiting for?" He began tugging on Dick's arm.

"I'm coming, Sammy." Dick hummed.
