A/N: I think I finally know how to take this story. There will be three parts of it; the first part is "Never be the same", this is the second part and I haven't thought of a name for the third part yet. So, if you guys have any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

There will also be many one-shots between these and maybe, if you guys like it enough, I might write a fourth part.

Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice


Chapter 1


Normally, life is never easy. But, what happens when you're the child of a superhero?

Jason and Zaina experienced it their whole lives.

Jason West was the son of the one and only, Flash and his wife, Tigress. Well, he was expected to take on the mantle of Kid Flash just like his father, Wally West and eventually, Flash. But, there was one tiny problem. Jason didn't have the characteristic speedster gene.

Zaina Grayson was the daughter of Nightwing, the protector of Bludhaven. She, as you guessed, was expected to take up the role of Robin and then Nightwing, like her father, Dick Grayson. But, she declined due to her dyslexia, leaving the mantle to be taken up by the ten-year-old son of Bruce Wayne, also known as Batman, Damian Wayne.

Zaina and Jason had been friends since they were five. But, a year ago, they experienced something that changed everything.

The two fifteen-year-olds were accidently sent back in time to the day Jason's father, Wally died stopping the Reach invasion. They attempted to stop him dying, but found out a lot more about each other. They finally succeeded in saving Wally and were sent back to find that everything was perfect. Jason ended up with two younger siblings, Irey and Jai while Zaina ended up with a younger half-sister, Maria. Life took a turn for them there.

Their adventure in time-travelling brought them even closer to one another. But, what they didn't know was that their next adventure would change even more than they'd ever know.


Artemis is in the kitchen, running a rag over the dirty counter. Her eyes catch the clock and she sees that it's almost time for her son to come home. Hiding a small smile as she thinks about him, she goes back to putting away a few dishes.

From behind her, she suddenly feels a couple of strong arms around her and her back against his chest. "Hey there." He says his breath warm against her ear.

She rolls her eyes. "Hey there, Baywatch."

"So, why're you even tidying up the kitchen?" he asks.

"Well, unlike some people, I actually prefer cleanliness." She says, pulling out of his grasp.

Wally then turns her so that she's with her back pressed against the counter and her face just inches from his. "I didn't' mean that." He says in a low voice that makes her take a sharp breath. He leans forward and kisses her deeply. She kisses him back, but when he moves his hands to her hips, she pulls away as she knows where this is going, and fast. "We shouldn't…" she says. "He could walk through that door any second now."

"We've still got time." He says, sliding his lips over hers. This time, she doesn't protest.

She snakes her arms around his neck as he pulls her closer to him. She could have stayed that way, but at that moment, the door flew open and she has to push Wally away from her so that their eldest son would not see them.

The blond teenager walks into the room, heaving a sigh. A black-haired girl about his own age came in behind him. He dropped his bag on the couch and sighed heavily.

"At Last! Summer!" he says, flopping down on the sofa.

"You've been saying the same thing since the bell rang." The girl points out. He shoots her a look.

Artemis laughs at the two of them. She walked away from Wally, for once feeling happy that he took a day off as it was the kids' last day at school. She leans against the doorway as Jason and Zaina begin another argument. Even though they pretend as if nothing changed, she could see the change in them. They were closer to each other than before. She knows it's because of their little adventure in time. If she hadn't been worried to death for them, she would've actually thanked them. She still can't believe a life without Wally.

Suddenly, Jason seems to notice his parents standing there and shifts a bit, embarrassed. She laughs. He's exactly like Wally and looking at the young boy reminds her of why she fell for her husband in the first place.

"Oh, hey, Mom, Dad." He stutters.

Wally grins beside her. "So, how was your last day?"

"It was amazing!" Jason says. "We pulled so many pranks on everybody!"

Zaina laughs beside him. "It was practically chaos."

He turns to her. "It wasn't practically chaos. It was chaos."

She rolls her eyes. "Well, I gotta get going. I'll call you tomorrow, okay." She walks out of the door, waving to them.

Artemis turns to Jason, who shrugs. "Well, I gotta go keep my bag in." he picks it up and goes upstairs.

"What's the occasion?" Artemis grins softly as Jason hardly ever kept his bag inside. Wally puts a hand on her back. "Cut him some slack. He's sixteen and on vacation." She rolls her eyes and turns around. At that moment, he turns her around and presses against the wall. "So, where were we?"

She groans as she slides her lips over his.


She's surprised that the Wayne Tech board would let its members have a day off since they were used to scheduling meetings on a Saturday. Still, she's not gonna complain as she's got Dick all to herself. Well, after Zaina and Maria leave for school. Seven hours of being with Dick is as good as it gets on their last day.

At the moment, she's in bed with her back towards him, her head resting on his bicep and his arm around her waist. She smiles at how Dick had pulled her into the room the second she got back from dropping Maria at her school. He has his eyes closed, but she knows that he's awake. He'd always pull a stunt like this whenever they got the time to be alone. Whatever, it's cute.

Her eyes fall on the clock on their bedside table and she sees that school is almost over. She tries to sit up so that they could go downstairs and meet Zaina. She may not be her daughter like Maria, but that didn't mean she didn't love her. She had given Zatanna the first taste of motherhood. She sometimes hated it that Zaina wasn't her daughter since she was so perfect in every single way possible. She thinks that she probably gets it from Dick.

Just as she pulls her head off, she squeals as he pulls her back onto the bed and rolls them so that he's leaning over her. "Was that really necessary?" she softly asks, suddenly noticing that the distance between their noses was a mere few inches. She sees that smirk on his face, the smirk that makes her want to slap him or just rush to him and crash her lips to his. He used to give her that look all the time while they were younger. It was really cute back then, but then he went through puberty and now, every time he gives her that smirk, she finds that she can't breathe. Even after so many years, he still has that effect on her. She knows that even though he's married and has two daughters; women constantly make eyes at him. They tell her all the time how lucky she is to have him as her husband.

Trust her; she knows how lucky she is.

"Didn't like it?" he dips his head so that his mouth is near her cheek as he whispers these words.

"It's…" she trails off, unable to take it anymore. She hates it when he teases her like this. At these times, she can tell that he knows that he's in control then when she usually doesn't give him the satisfaction of being in control. He leans forward and presses a soft kiss to her cheek, making her shudder at being touched but not exactly touched since he lets his lips linger just above her skin.

"Zen'll be home soon." She whispers.

"I know." He answers, leaning forward and kissing her very softly.

She puts her hands on his shoulders, pushing him off her. "She'll be home any second now." She tells him, unable to hide how much she wants him right now. "We'll continue this after they're asleep."

He puts. "Still, it was nice hearing you again without having to be quiet." He says, reluctantly getting off her. She eyes his bare chest. "You should probably put on a shirt." She points out, trying to hide how she gulped when she saw him.

He sighs. "Yep. You probably should too."

They are downstairs by the time Zaina walks through the door, closing the door behind her. Dick walks over to her and smiles. Even though she knows Dick loves Maria as much as her, she can always see a particular happiness around him whenever he's with Zaina. She also loves both their daughters, but she thinks that Zaina will always have a special place for being the first child.

She smiles at the happiness in Dick's eyes as he wraps his arms around the young girl. She can hear the soft murmurs they share, and even though at times it irritates her, she reminds herself that Dick had the strongest bond with her due to him being her father.

She parts from him and Zatanna holds out her arms as Zaina hugs her.

"Hey sweetie how was school?" she smiles.

"Chaos." She laughs. That's all that needs to be said for her to know. After all, she was a sixteen-year-old once herself.

She pulls away from her daughter, as she came to call her. "So, what're your plans for the summer?" she asks.

"I don't know yet." She admits.

Dick, by the time, has come to stand behind her. She turns back to see him thinking. "Maybe I could get you something."


A/N: the first chapter. Hope you all liked it. I wanted to add more Chalant since I'm a huge Dick/Zatanna shipper, but I ran out of ideas.
