Disclaimer: I had a dream the other night I owned YJ. Then my sister woke me up with her stupid hair dryer.
Chapter 1:
"No!" screamed Dick at the top of his lungs reaching out as his parents fell down into the endless abyss of death. They wouldn't stop falling. Not ever…
Dick jolted awake, cold sweat covering his body. He sat up and caught his breath. He wiped the sweat off of his face with the back of his hand. He had the nightmare again. It was the anniversary of his parent's death today. He turned his head and looked at the clock on his bed side table. He was late at waking up. It was almost mid-day He shakily climbed out of bed, the floor was cold against his bare feet. He went over to his dresser and pulled out some clothes. A pair of jet black jeans, black top and red hoodie. He started to get dressed into them.
Once he was dressed he sat on his bed and pulled out his phone from under his pillow and pulled the charger out. He had 2 missed calls from Bruce at eight o'clock that morning. His alarm should have gone off at six. He went onto the alarm app and found it had been turned off. There was a text from Bruce too. It read:
Hi dick. Sorry about disabling your alarm clock. Thought you could do with a lie-in. call me when you wake up.
Bruce turned his alarm off, 'that figures'. He slid the phone back under his pillow not bothering to call Bruce. He didn't realise until now that ever since he woke up he had been fighting back tears. He needed to let them out. He needed to talk to someone. Someone other than Bruce. But the only two people who knew his secret Identity were Wally and…
There was a knock, knock at the door. It was soft and gentle. He stood from his bed. And walked over to the door. He entered the password into the keypad next to it. It glowed a luminous green before the door slid smoothly open.
Outside the door stood the girl he loved. Zatanna. She was fully dressed in light blue jeans and a vibrant violet tank-top. Her black hair flowing freely over her shoulders.
"Hey zee," he said leaning against the door frame "what's up?"
"Nothing I was just wondering if you were okay." She said sweetly.
"Yeah, I'm fine" he said nodding his head.
"Dick its mid-day and you haven't left your room all morning" she said folding her arms in front of her chest.
"I over slept" he said truthfully. She didn't look like she believed him
"Dick can we talk inside" she said taking his hand and leading him inside his room.
"Sure, were already here" he said sarcastically. She led him over to the bed and sat down with him. She took his glasses off and set them down on the table. She stared into his light blue eyes that she always fell into staring at them. She always thought his eyes were the cutest thing about him. They were gateways into his soul. And she could always read his emotion from them. His eyes weren't his usual happy, glistening eyes that showed light, hope and happiness. These were his eyes that were swimming with darkness, sadness and death. It was like his eyes were stone.
She could see that his eyes were clouded with tears and he was trying with all his power to hold them back. He always bottled up his emotions and Zatanna was the only one he showed them to.
"Dick what's wrong?" she asked softly.
"Nothing" he replied. She could tell something was wrong. His voice didn't sound like normal. It sounded harsh, like he was chocking back a sob. She gave him a look that said 'I know you're not okay'. His bottom lip began to tremble.
"Dick," she said concerned "I know what date it is today and I just want you to know that I'm here for you and-" she was cut short by Dick throwing his arms round her waist burying his face into her shoulder. His shoulders started to shake. She wrapped her arms around him, rubbing circles on his back. "Dick it's okay." She whispered in his ear.
"It's been… four years… Zee" he said between sobs.
"I know," she said pulling out of the hug placing her hands on his shoulders. "And today will be hard but I'll help you."
"Thanks" he said. Tears were rolling down his face. He never normally cried. They had been going out for about a month now and she only saw him cry once. This was different. He was hurt. Broken even. Like he had just had a piece of his soul ripped out of him. But that's what losing a parent was like. Zatanna could relate to losing parents but not as much as he did.
"No more crying" she said wiping the tears from his face. "They wouldn't want you to cry"
"Your right," he said "I'm being silly" he said tilting his head down. She sighed.
"There's nothing silly about crying Dick" she said lifting his head up so his eyes met hers.
"Why are you always right?" he said with a grin.
"Because I'm magic" she replied. They both laughed. She ran her fingers through his sweat covered hair.
The com link went off "team suit up and report to mission room in 5 minutes" it was batman's voice.
"We had better get suited up" she said.
"Yea" he said standing up. She caught his hand.
"I have a faster solution" she said "egnahc su otni ruo mrofinu." (Change us into our uniform). And soon both of them were dressed into their uniforms.
"Wow," he said "you really are magic"
They both walked out of Robin's room and headed for the mission room.
