Um…it's safe to say that no one liked that last chapter. Lowest review count, which is completely ok! That was a nasty drabble. So now, something a lot happier!
It took 8 months but it was all worth it in the end. There were curses, tears, and fervent prayers to some higher power but the team returned to full health with some new scars but no worse for wear. Some had healed more quickly than the others had but this was the first time that they were all healthy together.
There was a party at the Cave.
The whole League (and some of the families) was there, laughing and living. A bunch of the women were surrounding Roy and cooing at the 18-month-old Lian, who was reaching for Arthur Jr. Wally was having an eating contest with Barry, which amazed and disgusted everyone watching. Kaldur and Artemis were watching the toddlers trying to escape their respective parents much to the horror of their parents. Megan was finishing the last batch of oatmeal-chocolate cookies. Robin and Zatanna were having quietly talking in the corner, with Zee trying not to cry.
Out of everyone's recovery, Zatanna was hit the hardest. Nabu didn't let Zatara take off the helmet in order to see how his daughter was doing. The only comfort was that Nabu had employed his superior magical skills to help heal her.
It still wasn't enough.
But before the tears could come back, Wolf tackled the pair to the ground and acted like a puppy rather than the killing-Cobra Venom-animal he is. Laughter rang out and the crisis was averted.
And as for Conner?
Dinah watched with pride as her son bounced between the various groups in the Cave, being wonderful and charming and looking liked he belonged.
Ollie wrapped his arm around Dinah and placed a kiss on her forehead.
Everything was as it should be.
