I don't own Young Justice
You can imagine that Zatanna moved to the Cave and sometimes later she moved with Bruce and Dick in the Manor. Or you can just say is a little AU and she moved to the Manor instead of the Cave. Whatever makes you happier.
This takes place just after the computer announced the New Year and everybody kisses. Well, almost everybody.

"Human customs still elude me" Red Tornado said with his emotionless voice before Rocket and Aqualad took him to Batman so he could be fixed. Wally and Artemis went to the Zeta tubes and teleported to the Hall of Justice to see the fireworks. What concerns about Robin and Zatanna, the kiss had turn into a make out session. Conner and Megan were staring at the Earth when Superman approached them.
"The team did a good job here, you did a good job" He said, he also sound a little nervous
"Am, thanks" his clone replied
"So - he continued- I heard you took a name"
"Ah, yeah, it's Conner Kent"
"My secret identity is Clark Kent" he replied
"I didn't know, I wasn't trying to…"
"No, -he interrupted- the thing is, I'm glad, Conner Kent, It seems right. What do you think about going to Metropolis tomorrow and I introducing you to my family?"
"Are… you serious? Like your son?" Conner asked
"As my brother, I think they are sure I don't have a son. I have to talk to Batman, see you tomorrow at the Cave at eleven?" Clark explained.
"Yeah, sure".
Then Superman departed. Megan, who had a giant smile in her face, hugged him, who looked like really confuse, and exclaimed:
"You have a date with Superman"
"I… guess."

"Human customs still elude me" Red Tornado said with his robotic voice. "Can anybody of you take me to Batman, he and Robin are the only ones capable to fix me. And as far as I understand humans, he's going to be occupied for some time"
Rocket laughed a little, she wasn't really used to Tornado yet.
"Sure, Rocket take the legs, I take the arms and the body" Their leader said, stepping in.
"I will disconnect myself to make the repair process easier" Red explained.
They took him to Batman, in the conference room, who was having a conversation in his holographic computer with and old man with a British accent called.
"But Master Batman" the old man was saying, "are you ok? What about Master Robin and Miss…
"We are all fine Alfred, we see you in a few hours at the cave" This was the first time in years that Kaldur heard Batman's real voice, and not the fake intimidating one.
Batman turned around and then he saw them and shot them his glare.
"You should announce yourselves the next time you enter a room" Batman said with the intimidating voice. He sounded like he was their father punishing them.
"Yes, we are sorry" Aqualad apologized. "We were hoping you could fix Red, he was well, attacked in battle"
"Why don't you ask Robin?" Batman replied, still angry.
"Is, um, busy right now" Kaldur said.
"Zatanna?" He asked with a tone that they couldn't figure out what meant.
"Yeah, the kids are growing up" Rocket replied in a playful tone that Batman didn't seem to like and gave her another Bat-Glare.
"Bring him to the table"
While they were waiting to Batman to finish, they heard the Zeta Tubes recognize Kid Flash and Artemis, and saw Superman talking to his clone, hopefully, Superman finally had decided to be his mentor, they also saw some members who started to wake up and then, they saw Green Arrow with his beard both scorched and frosty, the Plastic Man with a creepy smile all over his face and Black Canary had blue spots on her hair, they looked really mad.
Suddenly, Red Tornado woke up and started running across the Watchtower franticly (A.N: If you see FRIENDS, think in Tornado running like Phoebe does in ''the one where Phoebe runs'').
"It's a side effect for being disconnected" Batman explained. "He'll get in a few minutes. Now Aqualad, I need you to gather Robin, Flash and Doctor Fate, we need to upload the security system to make sure this won't happen again, bring them to the conference room. Rocket, try to calm down Tornado and bring him with the others, and gather the Atom and Martian Manhunter too. I'll be waiting there"

"Human customs still elude me" said Tornado, but neither Robin nor Zatanna were really listening, they were busy feeling each other's lips, after a few minutes, they opened their mouths and the kiss became more heated. Eventually, they pulled apart, just because of the need for air. That's when they realized they were alone, everyone, even Tornado, were gone.
"For how much time did we…" Robin asked.
"Don't know, but I don't really care either, cause that was one of the best choices I've ever done" Then she gave him a quick kiss on the lips and putted her hand on his shoulders while he kept his on her waist.
"Now that we came to the Watchtower, do you want to go to back to the Manor and sleep or do you want to have fun in a satellite full of heroes and technology? She questioned with a seductive smile.
Next thing he knew, they were in a pranks war with Oliver, Dinah and Plastic Man.
Plastic was the first in falling, at the second they yelled "START" Robin throw a batarang to his face that exploded letting a cloud of green smoke and the leaguer started laughing.
"It's a synthesized version of the joker venom, it made them laugh and end with the scary smile, but they don't die" The Boy Wonder explained to his partner.
Canary was the next; Zatanna summoned a paint ball gun of nowhere and shoot at them.
Arrow saw it coming and dodge the attack, but the metahuman wasn't that lucky and ended with blue hair. The archer took a special arrow and shoot at the ninja, who became a prisoner of the rubber. Suddenly GA heard:
"Tup sih draeb no erif" And then his beard well, was on fire. He started freaking out until he found a freeze arrow in his quiver, shame that the arrow also freeze his face, planking himself.
After freeing Robin, they just lied on the ground laughing when Robin spoke:
"You are coming to Bruce New Year Gala tomorrow, right?"
"Yeah, you now that, as Bruce Wayne's new ward I have to go to every party, reunion, and blah blah blah" The magician said sarcastically. "Why?"
"I was thinking that you could come as my date? You know, only if you want to" The protégé sounded nervous.
"I'm not sure…"
"What?!" He practically yelled.
"I'm just messing around with you; it will be a pleasure to go with you" she kissed his cheek "Now that I have a date, I may not get so bored" She said hopefully.
"Yeah, you are getting bored anyway, after all, is going to be the first party that Bruce Wayne new heir" He whispered the last part. "Attends to, so I have to introduce you to every single of the richest and bored people in Gotham"
"Great" She said sarcastically "And I'm not his heir, I'm his ward. Tell me the truth, is there anyone interesting on those parties?"
"Well, there is Lucius Fox, who knows who our identities, so we can talk to him, but he's in the Directive Table, so you are always going to see him talking to others from the director table; then you have the Commissioner Gordon, he and Bruce are good friends, putting apart the whole Batman thing of course, also you can always ask him about Batman and he's going to tell you a story; and also you can talk to Barbara, his daughter, actually, she's my best friend in Gotham Academy, so you are going to meet her anyway when we start school. And if you want you can talk to Alfred in the kitchen"
"So I can talk to the bored butler, a cop, and your friend? Is going to be a long night"
"We are going patrol later, you have no idea how many crimes happens in Gotham New Year"
"NOW is great" She said enthusiastic.
"Robin" They heard a calm voice, turned around and saw Aqualad.
"Let me guess. Batman wants me to go somewhere right now" The bird said almost in a whisper
"Yes, the conference room"
"I will be right there" With that their leader left, and Dick turn around, kiss her gently and said with a low voice:
"Go home and have some rest, this is going to take a while"
"No, I'll be waiting here, and if I get a little bored I just have to find Billy"
And with a last kiss, the ninja-boy left
THE WATCHTOWER'S CONFERENCE ROOM
JANUARY 1, 00:45
TEAM YEAR TWO
Robin entered a big room with a large table for 16 people, probably the members of the group before the latest expansion, Batman, Flash, Tornado, Fate, the Atom, Manhunter and Kaldur were already at the table, Robin set at Batman's right side.
"As you know" Batman started. "The Watchtower location and system was compromised last night by Savage, I already denial his and Klarion's access, but I need to improve the security system. As you also know, the Starro-tech uses mind control, sorcery, technology and biochemistry; you are the experts in those areas. I want you to recognize the "components" so the Watchtower could identify the Starro-tech and denial the access.
Robin didn't understand his role and quickly ask for his work (he was afraid that Batman wanted to talk about Zatanna).
"You and Aqualad are going to check where and what did the League members did while being controlled, when any of you are done inform me" Then he press a finger on his ear and said via communicator link. "Superman, meet me at the conference room ASAP".
After a few minutes on which everybody had started to work, Superman arrived.
"What did you want to talk about?"
"The team"
"What about it?"
"I want to give them access to the Watchtower in case something similar happens"
"I agree, I know you are the leader but, don't you have to talk to everybo…"
"I did" The dark vigilante said interrupting him. "They have already agreed, you were the last one to ask to"
"Are you giving them access to the Batcave too?" He joked.
"No. Although most of them will know my identity when they see Zatanna in T.V, I'm publicly announcing both heroine and teenager tomorrow (A.N: She will start patrolling Gotham and as I pointed out, being introduce as Bruce' new ward); the only ones that have access are the founding members, Oliver, Dinah, Robin and Zatanna." he didn't seem to understand the joke. "Tomorrow we will tell them; now, go home and celebrate New Year, say hi to Lois and your parents for me"
Two hours later, the security system was already updated, if anybody tried to enter while being controlled the zeta tubes would teleport them to the Watchtower' cells. Billy Batson and Zatanna were eating cookies and ice-cream when the magician felt a pair of arms wrapped around her waist. She turned around and kissed him, without looking who it was. Of course she knew who it was.
Billy started making throwing up gestures.
"For one side, sorry about that Billy; from the other side, you are part of the Justice League, grow up and get used to it because one day this will be happening to you. Changing the subject, Batman wants everyone left in the conference room, he says that is urgent. Oh, and, transform into Captain Marvel, please, he doesn't like to talk to a 10 year old kid" the black-haired ninja said.
When they arrived they saw Aqualad and Red Arrow with their mentors, Black Canary, Red Tornado and Batman.
When Batman saw them he gave them a signal to sit down and started talking: "Good, now that you are here, we can start, the first subject, Roy Harp…"
"I'm not Roy Harper" The youngest archer interrupted. "Everything I thought about myself was a lie, I'm not a hero, or a sidekick, I'm a traitor, a pawn"
"Roy, it would be alright" Canary was trying to support him.
"I'm not Roy, I don't know what I am, all I know is I need to find the real Roy, I need to rescue Speedy" he continued with an angry look at his face.
"And we'll help you" Green Arrow said and look at Batman, who nodded and said "Guardian is already searching Cadmus"
With that said, the archers and Canary left the room.
Aqualad continued talking: "Something else I wrong, Robin"
"Right. The entire League was under Savage's spell for just over a day. We accounted for most of that time, but these six went missing for a full sixteen hours we can't account for"
Holographic images of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Hawkwoman, Martian Manhunter and the Green Lantern John Stewart appeared in the table.
"Sixteen hours. What did we do?" Batman said with a confused look at his usually emotionless f
"I don't know, my friend, but do me and yourself a favour and start researching tomorrow, right now, we should all go home, sleep and be with or loved ones" Aquaman told Bruce with a mix of respect and pray on his voice.
"Fine. You are dismissed"
With that said when everybody went to the Zeta Tubes.
What do you think about the rewritten? This chapter doesn't have big changed some little details that I thought were necessary.
I'll like to thank Zatanna Carrile for your support in my story.
