A/N: Wow! You guys really like this story! Thanks so much for the reviews guys! I'm super excited for this story! I've been dreaming about doing this for months. Since, like, June! But now it's up so yay!

"Wally! Run!"

"No! Uncle Barry!"

"Don't stop! Just keep going!"

"Uncle Bar-"

"RUN!"

"NO!" Wally shot up from his bed. Sweat poured down his face as he gasped for breath. He whipped his head back and forth, searching for the demons that would take him as he slowly calmed down. He took in a shaky breath before standing up.

"It's just a nightmare, Wally." he muttered. "It's over and done with."

He took a minute to compose himself, wiping away a few stray tears from his cheeks, and walked out into the 'living room' as if it was just another normal day—well, as normal as a day could get in the zombie apocalypse. Megan and Conner were once again sitting on the dirty, old couch. Roy was still in the corner, polishing his arrows, and Artemis and Kaldur were huddled over a giant pot and making breakfast. Zatanna was nowhere to be found, so Wally assumed she was sleeping.

"What's for breakfast?" Wally peered into the pot. Artemis pushed his face away.

"Beans. And don't breathe on them! People are already turning into zombies. We don't need a bunch of yous stumbling around out there too."

"Hey!"

"Please. No fighting." Kaldur looked exasperated. "Wally risked his life to get this food for us. You should be thankful."

"Ha!"

"Wally." Kaldur glared. "Don't breathe on the food. No one wants that."

"Ha!"

"Will you guys just shut up?" Roy was glaring at them. "If we were out there, we'd already be dead because your yelling would attract an army of them!"

"What's with all the yelling?" Zatanna shuffled out of her room, rubbing her eyes as she also glared.

"It's nothing." Megan smiled. "Wally, Artemis, and Roy were just having their usual morning argument."

"Again? Doesn't that ever get old?" Zatanna pouted.

"No."

"Yes."

"I only told them to shut up."

Zatanna sighed and plopped down onto the floor.

Being the youngest sucked. She felt more like an outsider than a team member. They discussed strategies in front of her, but they never let her out on the supply runs. It was 'too dangerous.' She was only a year younger than Wally and Artemis. Why couldn't she help? She wanted to feel needed, but she only felt like a burden. Even in a group, she felt so…

Alone.

Zatanna missed her father.

"Breakfast is ready." Artemis announced. She ladled beans into the cracked, mismatching bowls. "Come and get it!"

The teenagers crowded around Artemis and eagerly grabbed a bowl. A few days ago, they had begun to run out of food, but Wally's supply run would keep them going for the next few weeks.

"To Wally!" Megan grinned and raised her bowl. The others smiled and also raised their bowls.

"To Wally!"

The teens began to laugh, until a loud thump and a moan was heard at the door. The laughing immediately ceased, and they each looked down.

"I'll go up there." Roy volunteered. He hefted his crossbow up and headed up the ladder. A few moments later, another thump was heard. Roy came back down with a bloody arrow.

"I hate the world." Zatanna whispered. Artemis wrapped an arm around the girl's shoulders.

"Don't speak like that. It's all going to be okay. We are still alive aren't we?"

"Yeah…but my dad isn't." Zatanna mumbled.

"But you are." Artemis hugged her closer while trying to fix her mistake. "We are not going to let anything happen to you."

"That's just it!" Zatanna shot up. "That's what my dad did, and do you know what happened to him? He died! And one day, it'll happen to all of you! You'll die trying to protect me, and I'll be alone again! That's how it works!" Tears were streaming from her eyes as she turned away from the group, who watched with sympathetic eyes.

"And don't give me those looks! I don't want your pity." Zatanna wrapped her arms around herself and shook.

"Zatanna…" Wally stood up and walked over to her. She stepped away from him.

"No! Don't! You guys want me to believe that I'm one of you, but how can I when you don't let me do anything? I sit around here while you all go and risk your lives! I'm nothing but a burden to you!"

"Is that how you really feel?" Megan asked, tears in her eyes. Zatanna nodded.

"Alright then. We will stop." Kaldur stood up. "We'll take you out on a supply run now. We are not in dire need of anything so if anything goes wrong we should be fine. Roy, Wally, Artemis, and I will accompany you. Megan and Connor, you will stay behind and make sure we can safely get back in." Everyone nodded.

"Alright then. Let's go."

A/N: Stopping here for reasons. Trust me, I think you guys will love the next chapter. I'm sorry I took so long though. I got back much later than I thought I would, and I had major writer's block for my other story. Anyways, you'll be learning more about everyone soon. Bits and pieces will come through and I've already got the ending planned (though that isn't coming for a long while)! Hope you enjoyed this (sadly short but don't worry the next should be much longer) chapter! Review!

Love,
