I got to thinking and there are no fanfictions at least that I've read with Zantanna and Bart interacting so I figured this could be kind of a unique story. If it gets enough attention I may continue and make a multi chapter so let me know what you think.

Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice, DC or any of their characters mentioned.

Bart stood in the memorial garden looking up at the large hologram of Wally for what felt like the 100th time this week, the words Artemis had said repeated in his mind "Artemis' was Wally's partner" WAS he WAS Artemis' partner. He rubbed his eyes out of frustration and emotion. He was the only one in the garden right now so he decided to sit down in the gardens grass he brought his knees to his chest resting his chin in his knee and closed his eyes.

He heard the computer announce someone's arrival but didn't pay much mind to who it was

"Hey" he heard a voice say softly

He looked up to see Zatanna standing in front of him "Hey" he replied with an emotionless tone

She moved and sat down next to him "How are you holding up" she asked he didn't answer instead he looked down trying to hold back tears she moved and sat next to him " Listen, I know we don't really know each other that well, but I'm here if you need to talk" Zatanna assured him she rested a hand on his back and started to rub small circles.

"Thank you Zatanna" he looked up at her flashing a small smile

"Call me Zee" she smiled back

"Zee, I just. well look at me, I'm wearing his uniform what gives me the right to wear his uniform" Bart looked down at himself in the yellow and red suit he pulled the goggles off his head and looked at them "These were his, I don't even have the right to wear The Flash logo on my chest" he whispered

Zatanna wrapped an arm around his shoulder "Don't say that, you have every right to be part of the Flash family and Wally would have wanted you to take on the Kid Flash name" she whispered attempting to comfort him

He lifted his head up and stared straight ahead at nothing in particular "Before he became...gone. He told me he wanted me to take on the Kid Flash name, him and Artemis were planning to go back into retirement" he looked back down at the ground "Artemis must hate me" he said softly

Zatanna moved her arm off his shoulder "I'm sure she doesn't, and I promise you regardless of what happened, Wally's statement is still true, he would have wanted you to become Kid Flash no matter what" she spoke softly

Bart shook his head "Maybe if I had just tried to keep up with him or let him run ahead of me he would be here, how could Artemis not hate me Zee, probably everyone wishes I wasn't here, I'm the reason Wally is gone, I'm the reason Artemis' soulmate is gone and Nightwing lost his best friend, Artemis is probably telling Wally's parents right now I can't imagine how they're reacting " he rose his voice slightly out of hurt and frustration.

Zatanna grabbed his shoulders and turned him toward her "Bart listen, yes Artemis lost her soulmate and Nightwing lost his best friend but I've known both of them for a while, and I can assure you that neither one of them blame you, they aren't like that" she ran a hand through his hair trying to soothe him

Bart turned away "Then why is Nightwing leaving the team"

Zantanna was quiet for a moment trying to figure out the right words, she let out a sigh before speaking "He just, has his own way of dealing with grief, right now he's not in the right state to be running this team, but the fact that he put Batgirl as his replacement is a good thing, because it means he'll still be in close contact with the team, even if you don't see him " she rested her hand on his back

"That's a good point" he turned to look at her

Zatanna smiled and stood up "I have to get to a meeting at the Hall of Justice, but here's my number don't hesitate to call if you need to talk" she handed him the slip of paper

"Thanks for talking to me Zee, it means a lot" he told her, he looked at the paper she had handed him

Zatanna nodded "Anytime, and just so you know Bart that uniform looks nice on you" she gave him a wink causing a bashful smile to grow on the speedsters face as she walked away.
