"Are you sure you have everything for the four weeks?"

"Yes mom, I have the clothes, the bug spray,, uh deodorant, perfume, soap,, all the good stuff." Her mother pouted at her, as her father was just sipping his coffee.

"I- I just have this gut feeling that something bad is going to happen." She cupped Maxine's face.

"Ma, I'll be okay, the worst thing that could happen is a bear comes out of the woods."

"Don't scare your mother," her fathers voice could be heard.

"Not trying too, and besides you guys can live without me, you managed to do so before I was born." She smiled.

"Yeah, but that was 18 years ago,"

"True."

The car pulled to a stop in-front of the Nightwing camp sign. She took in a deep breath and smiled, today was the first official day of her job as a day camp counselor. She exited the car her dad followed.

"Look at you, growing up." He smiled lightly and sadly.

"Pops, you getting all sappy on me?"

"What? No, just don't come home with a surprise baby please." He kissed the top of her head.

"I promise, plus.. it's a camp I don't think that'll be happening here."

"You'd be shocked." He raised his brows jokingly, he took her bags out of the trunk handing them to her. "Be safe for me and your mom. We raised a fighter,"

"Yeah you guys did." She waved goodbye to him as he re-entered the car, waving to her once more before he left.

She made her way towards the counselor bunks leaving her stuff on one of the beds, a think flyer hung on the bed post 'All counselors to the mess hall for a debriefing.'

"Debriefing? What is this a mission?" She scoffed, the brunette made her way to the mess hall where the other counselors sat, one side sat the Shadyside counselors the other sat the Sunnyvale ones. Taking a seat with her side she could feel Nicks eyes.

"So, as you all know you are counselors which means you have a duty to the campers and your fellow co-workers.. with that being said our head counselor's this year is going to be Thomas and Kurt."

Kurt the blonde seemed a bit upset to be sharing that title but didn't say much. "You can all start by introducing yourselves, I suggest that Shadyside goes first," the owner drifted his hand towards their table.

"Oh! I'm Cindy Berman, it's a pleasure to meet you all." She smiled softly.

"Yo, I'm Gary, uh nice to meet you all or something." The curly haired dude smiled lightly.

"Names Alice, hi." Alice put her head back down on the table.

"I'm Arnie, nice to meet you guys." He smiled, placing his hand on Alice's shoulder.
