Don't own Young Justice.
Zatara
"Zach?" Zatanna knocked on the boy's room door. "Are you ready?" she asked.
Zachery Zatara finished putting the last of his clothes into his single suitcase. He looked into his mirror and fixed his blue black hair. His messy bangs kept falling into his clear deep blue eyes, but he wouldn't let his mom give him a haircut.
"Zach? We need to leave now," his mom called again.
Zach put on his magic onyx pendant on his neck and shut the suitcase. "Coming, Mom," he called back. He picked up the suitcase and left the room. "I'm ready," he said to Zatana.
"Great," his mom said with a smile. The two magicians left their home, which on the outside looked like an abandoned stage building, and walked towards the car.
"Can't I come with you?" Zach asked as his mom pulled onto the road.
"Zach," Zatanna said with a sigh, "I've already told you 'no'."
"But I want to help you look for Grandpa," Zach insisted.
Dr. Fate had gone missing four months ago. They had had this conversation many times before. It always ended in the same way. "No, Zach, you're too young."
Zach scoffed. "Too young to help you search the world for Dr. Fate, but old enough to join and team of young superheroes?"
"Yes."
"Ok fine, I'll make you a deal," Zach said slowly.
"And what would that be?"
"I promise not to fallow you right after you drop me off, if," Zach paused, not sure if he wanted his question answered.
"If what Zach?" Zatanna asked, concerned now that he had gone silent.
Zach took a deep breath and prepared himself for disappointment, "If, if you tell me who my father is."
The car was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Zatanna sat there in a sort of shock. Sure, Zach had asked her before who his dad was, but she always told him he would know when he was older. He deserved to know, but was his father ready to find out he had a son?
"Zach, I-" Zatanna tried to explain.
"No, forget it. I'll behave," Zach said quickly. He turned his head and stared out the passenger window.
"Zach," Zatanna said in a soft voice.
"Just forget I said anything," Zach told her, the disappointment and sadness clear in his voice.
Zatanna sighed. It was going to be a long drive to Happy Harbor.
Hope you review! They make me happy! And check out my others Young Justice fics too!
