All the usual for the bracket things.
Although one different, (S/F/C) means Second Favourite Colour.

You basically tore you wardrobe apart as you tried to find a long sleeved shirt, it was too hot to wear a jumper as you could only find thick ones. You gave a small sigh of relief as you found your (f/c) shirt, with sleeves that covered majority of your hands. You quickly grabbed some black pants before running out your bedroom door as you combed your hair with your hands. You were meeting with the team today, but you hadn't been told what you were going to be doing yet, you just hoped it wouldn't involve anything that could show your... Injuries.

~Timeskip~

"Recognised B:08 (S/H/N)" the machine rang as you materialised into the mountain.

"Hey (Y/N)" Robin said coming over to you with his usual large smile, you returned a forced one before replying.

"Hey Rob, any clue what's happening today?" Your smile faded into a questioning glance towards the younger boy.

"Yeah, didn't anyone tell you?" He asked, pausing for a brief moment to see you shake your head 'no', "oh, sorry 'bout that, but we're taking another trip to the beach, since kid mouth missed out last time, he practically begged for us to go again." He smiled at you, you gave a noticeably forced one in return as the panic set in.

"Oh, well, I didn't bring any swimmers so I don't think I can join you guys. Sorry," you replied, hoping he wouldn't push.

"Can't you go home and get some? It's gonna be so much fun," Wally added in, speeding 'round the corner into the lounge room.

"No, I can't, my house is locked 'cause my parents are out." You lied smoothly seeing, their faces fall as they couldn't think of another solution.

"Why don't you ask M'gann or Artemis, I am sure that one of them would be able to provide some swim wear that would fit you." Kaldur said walking out of the kitchen.

"Oh, um, yeah... I guess I can ask them." You quickly walk off, hoping you won't be able to find either of the girls.

But as luck would have it, you managed to slam straight into M'gann as you turn the corner to go to the rooms. She gasped and helped you off the ground quickly, "I'm so sorry," she said in a panic as you grabbed your arm lightly, feeling the pain course through. "Did I hurt you?" She asked, before noticing you holding your arm and coming towards it to help.

You reefed your arm to your chest in defence, "no, you didn't hurt me, it's fine, I'm fine. I was actually coming to see you to find out it you had any swimmers that I could wear." Stupid stupid, you said to yourself in your head over as you realised you asked the one thing you didn't want to.

"Oh, um, I don't know if any of mine would fit you, but I can check." She flew ahead into her room, you following behind.

When you caught up to M'gann she was already halfway through her draws trying to find a second pair of swimmers with the chance of fitting you.

"I'm really sorry, mine are just too small," she said looking down.

'Of course they are,' you thought. 'I'm too fat.'

"It's honestly fine M'gann, I didn't really expect any of them too." You gave her a small comforting smile.

"Hey, why don't you ask Artemis, she's more your size!" M'gann cheered excitedly, flying past you to find the blond, of which would also have no chance of having clothes that would fit you.

'She is so much smaller then me!' Your head screamed. 'Just give up now, they're all lying anyway, they don't want you to join them!' You took a deep breath before following M'gann on her girl-hunt.

You caught up to M'gann just as she was coming across Artemis' room. "Hey, Artemis?"

She opened her door, seeing you and M'gann standing in the doorway. "Yeah, what's wrong?" She asked, opening wide enough for the two of you to enter.

"Oh, (Y/N) doesn't have any swimmers to wear to the beach today, all of my spare ones were too small, but I thought that yours might fit." M'gann smiled.

"I think I can arrange something," Artemis smiled walking over to her wardrobe and pulling out a (F/C) bikini with (S/F/C) stripes. "What do you think?" She smiled, placing the bikinis in your hands.

"Um, it's really nice, but I don't think it will fit me." You mutter, just loud enough for them to hear.

"Nah, I think it will fit just fine, go and put it on," she said pointing to the bathroom attached to her own bedroom. "I don't think we have a lot of time before well be leaving, so just throw your clothes on top and come to the lounge room, we'll all be waiting there."

Once they were certainly out the door, you begun to strip of the clothes you were wearing to reveal your scarred body, cuts, burns and bruises were the main injuries, along with a broken rib, words carved into your thighs and stomach and skin scratched by your fingernails. Some as recent as the night before. You put the new pair of bikinis on, they fit perfectly, but you knew you wouldn't go swimming, you can't go swimming in long sleeves, and you certainly couldn't be seen without clothes to cover your self inflicted injuries. Imagine what the team would think? You shook those thoughts of rejection out of your mind, jumping back into you covering clothes before going into the lounge to meet the rest of the team, ready to leave.

I feel like this is getting a little long, so I'm gonna split it in half and write the rest later. Sorry.
