Zatanna was furious. Hours ago, she was sitting on the couch in her apartment, a pilliw clutched to her chest and someone bad knocked on her door. A certain blonde.
The magician broke down, screaming at the archer that it was just a dream, Artemis was dead. It took way to long for her to realize that it was in fact Artemis and her best friend explained everything to her.
So here she is now, marching into the Watchtower. They were celebrating when she entered, as if no one was mad that they mourned over a death for nothing.
Everyone looked over to her and greeted Zatanna before they got back to their coversations, Nightwing on the other hand, noticed the expression on her face and looked like he was trying to find a way out of there.
The sound of a slap made everyone stop, a silence fell over the Watchtower and everyone looked at the two of them. "You..." she started before breathing out a laugh, but everypne could tell it was more of an angry exhale.
"You lied to me!" Nightwings head dropped and he ran a hand through his hair, he opened his mouth to speak but once he saw her face he quickly shut it.
"I trusted you, and it isn't the first time I've made that mistake before." the vigilante looked a bit hurt for a moment, he knew what he did was messed up.
"You comforted me! And-and you knew what I was going through!" she yelled out, she knew for a fact that this wasn't the time nor place to have this argument, but she didnt really care.
"The League forced me to take a leave of absence and I was in my apartment for weeks on end doing nothing but crying!" everyone looked around with worried glances, M'gann felt ashamed for not checking on her friend.
"Zatanna I'm sorry." she shook her head and took in a deep inhale. "Not the first time I've heard that." Nightwings brows furrowed for a moment and he took a step forward, but Zatanna quickly turned.
"And to think I loved you." she muttered, only loud enough for Nightwing to hear before she walked into the zeta tube and left.
Weeks laterDick sat in his apartment staring blankly at the T.V. someone knocked at the door and he glanced at the door for a moment before looking back at the screen.
After multiple more knocks he finally stood up and opened it, flinching at the light. It was Zatanna.
She looked at him up and down, his hair was almost completely covering his eyes, he had some stubble on his face also.
"Hey Zee." his voice cracked when he said that, it sounded as if he hadn't talked in days. The magician let herself in and waited until he spoke.
"Uh, what do you-what do you want?" she gave him a small smile and sighed.
"To apologize, I shouldn't have gone off on you like that, and I should have been there for you earlier, especially after Wallys...y'know." he just nodded
"You shouldn't apologize, I-I should have told you." she stepped forward and put her hands on his shoulders.
"We've both made many mistakes Dick, whether we were in a relationship or not." he hummed in agreement. She pressed her lips up to his and he hesitated before kissing back.
Once they pulled away he leaned in for another, but she had already let go of him.
"I love you Dick." he moved his hair out of his eyes and gave her a small smirk. "I love you too."
