It has been about a week since King Cobra arrived with Jordan and Lina. They have mostly kept to themselves during their stay here. Except for the few times when they decided to try and help train some of the new inductees of the League of Assassins. From what I have seen of them Lina is a decent fighter, and Jordan gets by considering he is not the best.

I was walking down the halls to the lunch hall was I came across Zak and Ashley walking together. I smirked and picked up my pace to catch up with them and overheard their laughter. 'Guess Brittney really does play a good cupid' I finally caught up with them but kept as quiet as possible to sneak up on them.

"SO I see you too are very close now" They both jumped and turned to me.

My smirk stayed glued on my face "fine afternoon for a walk, especially with a couple don't you think". They both blushed, but Ashley turned back to me "what about you and the prince" I rolled my eyes "we aren't talking about me and him right now, we are talking about you two. SO my question hasn't been answered". They both look at each other still a little flustered at being caught. Zak speaks up this time "What question are you referring to future princess?"

I glare at him and move closer to the both of them " I am not your future princess so stop joking about that! Now are you two together or not?". I saw Ashley shuffle in her spot and Zak rub the back of his neck, so I shook my head "Yet you get on my case so much about Damian" I push past the both of them "HURRY UP IF YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS LUNCH!" I made it through the archway of the lunch room by the time I heard their hurried footsteps catching up behind me.

Once I spotted Damian he looked up and smiled so I returned a little smile as I went to gather a plate for myself Zak and Ashley were not too far behind me getting their plates making me chuckle 'they both love for, they sure are made for each other I took a seat next to Damian as we waiting for both of our sets of friends to show up. I gave a nod to Xavier who was already eating in the spot across from me. He nodded back with a smile on his face.

Finally, Brittney popped up in the lunch hall and soon enough Zak and Ashley took a seat, next to each other of course. When Brittney came to take a seat she smirked at their closeness. She looked over at me with a slight smirk which I returned.

We all started eating while carrying on a light conversation until Brittney and Ashley just had to open their mouths " SO where were you like last week at night, you weren't in your bed in the morning and we didn't see you until we showed up for training" I looked up at them and everyone else was waiting to see my answer so I kept a stoic face "and it's your girls business how I'm always gone before you wake up anyway"

Damian turned to me " أنت لم تخبرهم". I looked at him with a raised eyebrow " بالطبع لا" he chuckled a little " where you with her" We both turned to my friends and practically everyone in our little group was tunned in to hear. " Why would you assume that" I tried to keep the smirk off my face as Damian answered. I felt someone sit down next to me making me look over to spot Jordan.

" How are you Y/N?" I shrugged at his question "as good as any I suppose" He nodded and grabbed my hand " so I was wondering if we could spar some more this afternoon, I would really love to see some more of your moves" I tilted my head a bit "I mean I su-" I was cut off by Damian "As my partner shes only supposed to spar with me so we can be in perfect sync"

I turned to him to see him tense. I put my other hand which wasn't enclosed in Jordans on his shoulder in hopes to calm him down a little bit.

I turned back to Jordan "he has a point, those sorta were my arrangements when I was chosen as his partner" I felt him slightly tug at my hand making me drop Damian's shoulder "please Y/N, I promise I won't take up to much of your time" I sighed "I can show you a few things, to be fair our last sparing match wasn't sparing. Maybe work on that if you want to spar again". He gave me a slight smile "cruel attack on my heart and pride Y/N" He lifted my hand pressing a kiss to my knuckles again like he did the first time after our sparring match.

He got up at left leaving me looking at his last spot before turning to everyone else who looked shocked " what?" they all turned to me "what do you mean what..he..he just" Damian got up and started walking out and everyone was stuck looking between me and him so I shook my head and got up going to follow him out.

I watched the encounter between Y/N and Jordan and turned to my father "What do you think his game is father". He stayed quiet, not answering before replying with " I think he wants Y/N to join his side" I nod and turn to him "but why, for what reason?" His eyes stayed trained on their table "that is what we will figure out soon I hope" We then both watched as Damian stood up leaving the lunch hall.

"He really doesn't like anyone being so close to her" I sighed "he really doesn't but unfortunately for right now he has no claim on her." She got up to follow him out making me smile "but I don't think she will go with anyone else in the meantime"

I followed Damian out knowing he probably wouldn't react the same as he does when we are alone. I find him in the training room taking out his frustrations on a dummy. I sigh and walk closer until he turned on me and I block his sudden attack. He looked at me shocked then went to pull away "don't, you seem like you need a spar right now, who better to share that with than your partner"

He gave me a small smile before coming at me. We both fought not exactly taking it easy on each other, not that either of us had a problem with that.

We finally came to an end each of us having a hold on the other, ending the spar with us tied and a little heavy breathing. He slowly put his hands down and I did the same " do you feel better now" He didn't answer before wrapping his arms around me in a hug. I sighed and slowly wrapped mine around him "I'm sorry... I still just don't like how he is with you"

I thought his answer over while still wrapped in his arms with his head leaning on my shoulder "I know that but...did you forget what happened last week?"

I looked over at Brittney and Ashley sleeping away as I snuck out. I made my way outside and up to me and Damian's spot that we shared. I sat down and waited already admiring the stars above. It wasn't long before I heard steady food steps coming behind me "you are going to have to work on being quieter my prince".

He sat down next to me and chuckled "I don't feel the need to be stealthy around you, you always hear me anyway, the same way I can hear you, and what have I said about the 'my prince'" I smirked and looked over at him "I did it on purpose that time I promise" he smiled so I laid down and he followed my lead.

We both laid there in silence for a few minutes just enjoying the starry night sky around us. "Have you ever seen a shooting star before when you used to stargaze?" I frowned "I have" I heard him get up a little to look at me "did your wish come true?" I kept my gaze on the sky as I answer "no" He laid back down "can I ask what you wished for?" I didn't answer "not a question you want to answer..." I gave a slight nod feeling his gaze on me.

He sighed as we both went back to a comfortable silence now "what is your favorite constellation? A small smile came to my face at the question and I turned on my side to face him " I got lucky to see Andromeda once...I love the meaning behind her story" He smiled at me "glad you got to see it then" He turned on his side facing me as well "I am happy you are sharing things with me finally" I sighed "does this mean you won't get so angry at Jordan now?" he scoffed and looked away "I don't like him... I told you how I felt about him stealing you away..you'll start telling him all this"

I shake my head "Damian it's taking a lot of me to share any of this with you, I am only doing it because my eyes were opened to why I should let you in..we have gotten along better than some people I have had in my life" He turned to me and opened his mouth to speak

" I not done...It took me forever to at least try and be like this with you, do you really believe I would just start telling this random guy who has just popped up everything I have shared with you" He opened his mouth and then shook his head.

"You can't get rid of ye this easily now that I've shared at least this much with you" his signature smirk grows "is that a threat to kill me if I tell or leave you" I shrug "take it as you want" I return his smirk "but essentially yes..yes it is" he chuckled.

He pulled away from me enough to see my face now "I didn't forget" I gave him a small smile "good...I'm not gonna just up and leave...not with you alive as I said" he laughed and put his head back on my shoulder "thank you Y/N" I shook my head and pulled away from the hug but he still kept his hands in mine "Non forsit". He looked at me shocked "is that Latin?" I chuckled "how many languages do you speak?" I shake my head with a smile "I think that's enough questions" he squeezed my hands "ok".

We were both interrupted by Jordan running into the training room and we both turned to him "Guys, my king and Ra's have requested us, and quickly" I saw his gaze go to the now one hand Damian won't let go I pulled away and looked at Damian. He sighed but nodded and we all began to walk to the throne room.

They were nowhere to be found so we all turned to each other until we heard shouting happening down the halls we all followed the noise until we came upon the front entrance being attacked. I quickly spotted Talia and nudged Damian he quickly looked to where I was pointing.

An assassin came rushing out with swords and a few guns in his holster so I stopped him "can I have one of your guns and sword" I turned to Jordan "I guess your fighting hand to hand?" he nodded before going into the small battle at our doorstep, probably looking for Lina and King Cobra. The man I was dealing with let me have what I asked for and I handed the sword to Damian keeping the gun for myself "ready partner" I turned to him with a smile, cocking the gun "please I was born ready, been waiting for some real action"

We both ran into the fight making our way through. We were in sync with each other which was a perfect sign our training wasn't a waste of time.

When the battle died down the League luckily came out on top with little to no casualties. We had captured one of the attackers and dragged him to the throne room where King Cobra, Lina, and Jordan followed. "These were the people I was warning you about when we first arrived" Talia looked at him and the attacker "we handled it just fine" Ra's spoke up after that, "I told you from the beginning we could hold our own"

I looked over to the cobra groups 'what aren't they telling us?'. "Yes the fighting, yes, but they-", Zak ran in "we have an emergency in the medical wing" We all looked at each other and set out and once we got arrived there were a few assassins laying in beds "what is the problem?" they looked to be squirming and suffering despite not having any actual wounds.

"They are being affected by something we just don't know what" I moved closer to them and I felt Damian pull me back "don't it could be contagious" I looked over at him and then at Talia "I could see what's is happening if you allow me, but I need the room cleared"

Talia looked into my eyes and she nodded and started to wave everyone out. I moved my magic to my fingertips and it came out in a red and black shadow. I focused it near their chest looking at them. I removed my hands and made my way out where everyone was waiting.

Ra's was first to speak "what did you find out" I look at him feeling Damian's hand slide into mine "it seems to be a venom or toxin of some sort". King Corba spoke with a sigh "that is their group's specialty that we were trying to say earlier, luckily we are immune to it. Well I am immune and I have tried to find an antidote and I have created it a few times. Unfortunately, it is a very difficult thing to make and I used most of what I had on Jordan and Lina leaving me with one dose left".

Talia looked at me and I nodded "so how would we make this or fight it off" They all looked at each other "gather materials and bring in some of our scientists to help, we could also use our last dose to save one of your soldiers" I looked at Damian and he looked at me giving my hand a squeeze "that will have to do until we learn more about it".

They nodded "we will call for our scientist tomorrow" Cobra and Lina walked away and Jordan came to me and kissed my knuckles and smiled "glad your ok" then ran off. I felt Damian's grip get tighter but then calmed I turned to him "my words get through to you" he nodded. "Now that they are out of earshot..." we all looked at each other and walked to the throne room not saying a word until we arrived

"Don't trust them one bit...they are here for something"

Ra's spoke, "the question is, what?"
