I know I've been making a lot of stories lately, but I will find a schedule to update them all...maybe...

Originally I was going to do one where Zatanna moves in with Dick, but I decided to change it up a bit. So...yeah

Zatanna excitedly walked into the apartment building. It was on the 'Bad Part of Gotham' she could care less though. Artemis was leading her to the room, where she saw her black haired mother in a wheelchair. It had taken weeks -probably months- to convince Artemis to let her move in. Zatanna had gotten a scholarship to Gotham Academy, and her original plan was to stay in the cave and just go there with the zeta tubes, but Robin had easily pointed out all the flaws. That's when the magician turned to her best friend.

"Can't believe I'm going through with this." The blonde mumbled to herself and crossed her arms over her chest. "Hello, Zatanna." her mother greeted and held a hand out, which Zatanna had quickly grabbed. "Hey, Ms. Crock. Thanks for having me." she was so happy, granted she didn't know why (But at the same time did). Artemis just put a smile on her face and grabbed Zatanna's shoulder, showing her to the room, with two slim beds. "We'll have to share a room, hopefully, you don't mind."

"I don't care, I mean if you do I can sleep on the couch." Artemis raised an eyebrow and shook her head. "You aren't going to sleep on the couch for what, four years?" she looked at Zatanna up and down, why was she so nervous? Artemis shrugged it off and began to set her alarm. Zatanna sat down on the empty bed and studied the room. There was a poster above her bed with the Chesire Cat on it. She adjusted her position on the bed, it had definitely not been used in years.

"Well, how about you unpack and then we can go to bed, your first day is tomorrow." The blonde suggested, while Zatanna shrugged and looked at the time. "I can unpack anytime, I am tired from the mission," she stated and laid back, pulling the blanket over her and turned her body to face the wall. "You do you." Artemis sighed and walked out of the room.


Artemis groaned as her alarm went off. Reluctantly she sat straight up and turned it off. Noticing that Zatanna was gone she got curious. 'Did she bail already? Too soon' the blonde thought to herself as she got into her uniform. Instead, when she walked out she saw Zatanna and her mother talking while eating toast. Another plate was out that Artemis assumed was for her.

She grabbed a piece off of the plate and picked up her bookbag. "C'mon 'Tanna, we gotta leave for school." the magician stood up and thanked her mother and joined Artemis. "Your moms really cool." the raven-haired-girl commented as they left the building. "What's it like?" Artemis zoned out as Zatanna kept drowning the blonde with questions.

Zatanna noticed and went quiet. Pulling her skirt down and grumbling about how short it was. "Here we are," Artemis said gesturing to the large building. Zatanna hummed and nodded, trying to stay close to Artemis. "Hi! I'm Bette the student liaison!" she jumped at first and turned around, putting a fake smile on. "Hey, I'm-"

"Zatanna, c'mon let me show you around." she looked back at Artemis who silently told her to just go.

Bette was pretty nice. It was the group of people she hung out with that Zatanna didn't like. She was almost positive Bette was like them too. Once it got to lunch, Zatanna was pretty certain that she knew where everything was. Bette had invited her to sit with them, which she gladly accepted until Artemis walked over to her and asked her to sit with them. "Artemis, she's our friend." Zatanna stood up and picked the tray up with her. "Actually..." she began dragging out the 'y'.

Bette didn't stop her, nor did she make any remarks. Just a dirty look. Where Artemis sat was an empty table. Barely anyone there, the two of them were the only to talk at the said table. Zatanna didn't mind though, she had been a loner at just about all the schools she went to, it was pretty normal. "Are you the new kid?" Zatanna turned around quickly, she recognized the voice. "Rob-who are you?" the boy smirked and shrugged. "I'm Richard Grayson, people call me Dick though, nice to meet ya." he sounded happy. Artemis looked a bit annoyed though. "Watch out, he-

Flash

Zatanna let out a slight gasp and blinked a few times before noticing that Dick was gone. She looked at Artemis in confusion, she sighed "-took a picture of me on my first day." she finished, clearly frustrated. "I mean he's kinda cute." Zatanna shrugged and Artemis threw her head back with a laugh. "I don't see it, anyway, aren't you and Robin a thing?"

"Doesn't mean I can call other boys cute." Dick was close by and could hear the conversation at hand, laughing silently to himself a few times as Barbara was talking to him.

"Just like you and Wally, I'm pretty sure you had the hots for that one celebrity." the magician pointed out while the archer raised an eyebrow again. "That was M'gann." the blonde defended, the two had most of the attention at the table they sat it, neither cared though. It was a fun lunch period all in all. Though neither of them noticed that Bette would steal glances at them and silently plan her next move.


How do you like it so far? Any ideas on what I should do next?

Please review! It makes my day!
