Chapter name was a dare..and it stuck! Also I realise I change between Connor/Conner when spelling..I didn't bother changing that cause I am lazy , but ya'll know who I mean.

It was Friday, two days since Dick and Zatanna had kissed. He managed to get a half day and was already in the cave, waiting for Zatanna to get back from school. He sat on the stool in the kitchen thinking back to Wednesday night, a power bar half eaten in his hand. He must have had a giant grin on his face because with a gust of air beside him, and the power bar snapped out of his hand, Wally was standing laughing at him.

"Whoa man, haven't seen you in days and here you are looking lame and girlie!" Wally devoured the power bar before Dick even had a chance to argue back.

"Dude do you ever eat your own food?"

"Heh, why should I when I can eat yours!", Wally laughed and hopped up on a stool beside Dick. "So you gonna tell me about Wednesday night?" A sly grin crossed his face.

"Wednesday? What about Wednesday nothing happened Wednesday!" Robin blurted out quickly, perhaps a little too quickly.

"Heard Flash talking about it with Batman, apparently she's been under surveillance." Wally's face couldn't scream smug any more if he tried.

Dick turned a shade of red to match his hoodie.

Batman had actually confronted him about his night with Zatanna that night when he got home. The whole thing was on video, playing on loop in the Bat cave.

"You're spying on her?" He blurted out.

"No Dick, we're keeping an eye on her. Klarion is dangerous," Bruce paused the video on their free fall before the kiss. "You didn't have to record that.." Dick's cheeks were flushed. The last thing he wanted was his adoptive father and mentor watching him kissing Zatanna. Recently they had been discussing Dick moving on from his role as Robin when he finished school. This idea was looking more and more appealing right now to him.

"Well next time you plan to go against my advice of being..involved..with a team mate," He paused and suddenly did something that anyone in the league rarely saw. Bruce smiled. "Let me know, but keep an emergency line open just to be safe." Dick smiled. Sometimes Bruce was just Bruce, not Batman. Those were the best times. He had assumed that was the end of things, but apparently not.

"I can't believe he told Flash.." Dick buried his head in his hands, "who else did he tell?"

"I dunno Rob," Wally shrugged. He kept grinning until Dick looked up, and suddenly grinned with Wally, the two bursting into laughter and high-fiving.

"SO! Tell me about it! Zatanna is smokin', not my type, but smokin'. How did you manage to land that?" Wally ran to the fridge, grabbing more food and started making a sandwich.

"What do you mean 'how did you manage to land that?', I got more skills with the ladies than you'll ever have!" He burst out laughing at the expression on Wally's face. "Whatever Mr. Dark glasses. Like the 'ladies' even know where you're looking...OH MAN NOW I GET IT!"

"Things are different with Zee," His smirk turned to a genuine smile, "things just..click with her y'know?"

Wally rolled his eyes "Dude, Rob, I'm single, so obviously not," His sandwich was finished, stacked at least 5 layers high.

"Oh man, you should see her in her school uniform though!" Dick let out a low whistle, closed his eyes and grinned "mmhmm, catholic school girl uniforms. What I wouldn't do to her when she's in that!"

Wally was shoving the sandwich into his mouth when he noticed Zatanna about to walk into the kitchen, in her school uniform. He started choking, hoping to get Dick's attention.

"Hey Wally, I think it might help if you chew.." Zatanna's voice shocked Dick's eyes open and colour started filling his face.

'Oh man.. GAH! And she's in her uniform too! did she hear me? RUN!' He panicked a little, aware of Wally's muffled half laugh half choking noises from behind his food.

"Beep, oh my communicator, must be Batman!" Dick jumped off the stool and ran out the other side of the room, red from ear to ear.

"Did.. I interrupt something?" Zatanna raised an eyebrow at Wally who was now on the ground laughing.

Zatanna pushed the magic book under a history book at the knock on her door.

"Come in!" She got out of her seat and turned, smiling at Dick as he walked in. He was in his regular clothes, dark jeans, dark jacket, a red hoodie, and of course, his sunglasses.

"I was a little afraid you regretted the other night when I saw you run away," She walked over and kissed him on the cheek. "Convincing beep" she winked.

Dick exhaled. He was literally holding his breath to control himself. She was still in her uniform.

"Regret? That was the best night of my life so far Zee," He closed the door behind him, turned and picked her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist and giggled as he held up her up with his hands under her ass. Their lips met again, with more force and passion than their first kiss. Dick groaned as Zatanna bit lightly on his lower lip. He squeezed her ass gently as she ran her fingers through his hair. The two laughed as they tumbled onto her bed, Dick leaned over her, resting on his left elbow, his right hand moving stray strands of hair off her face. She reached up slowly and touched either side of his sun glasses, giving him a questioning look. He smiled and she took his glasses off slowly, biting on her lower lip again.

She grinned a little and whispered "Hi Dick."

His eyes widened again, then it dawned on him. She probably knew who he was all along, after all, they had met years ago while her father was visiting Gotham. Bruce had brought Dick to see Zataro's show and he met Zatanna back stage while Bruce and her father talked.

"You know you can't tell.." Dick looked pleadingly at her.

"I wouldn't dream of it!" She wrapped her arms around his neck, and one of her legs swung around him, pulling him down into another kiss. She pulled his jacket off him and his hoodie over his head. He was so engaged in the kiss, his tongue found hers, deepening the kiss, he almost ripped the buttons off her shirt when he was trying to open it. Her other leg wrapped around him, her skirt slipping up around her hips. Her heart was racing, her face flushed. She gasped as Dick's hand crept inside her shirt. He groaned, aware that she could probably feel the bulge in his pants.

"Dick.. Dick! Slow down!" Her breath was short, gasping in pleasure. Dick pulled back and rolled off her, lying beside her. He was breathing heavily, and reached over kissing her once more.

"Sorry Zee," He smiled, "I guess we got carried away." There was never a time she wasn't stunningly beautiful. Her cheeks were a rosy pink, her breath was steadying, her hair spread out on the pillow below her. Her shirt open, exposing her breasts, which he promptly covered with his jacket.

"We should probably take things slow," they kissed again, resting in each other's arms.

Zatanna's head was racing. She walked over to her desk, glancing back at Dick sleeping on her bed. She really was digging herself deeper into trouble. She wanted even more so to talk to Dick about Klarion, but she feared his rejection now, especially after their antics earlier. She pulled her shirt off, putting on a fresh T-shirt, brushed her hair, and tip toed out of her room towards the kitchen. The tell-tale scent of Megan's cookies drifted out the hall to her.

"Hey guys, smells like a great batch of cookies," she smiled as she pulled two bottles of water from the fridge. Conner was sitting on the sofa, looking grumpy as usual. Megan flew over and hugged her quickly, offering a plate of cookies. Wally just grinned.

"So, Zataaannnnnnna..seen Robin lately?" Wally glanced at Conner who grumbled a little and pat wolf on the head.

"Hmm can't say I have," Zatanna replied coolly, taking two cookies from the plate.

"Oh reaaaaaaaaaaaally!" Wally dashed across the room, leaning on the sofa behind Conner, "because, Conner's super hearing would like to disagree!"

"Wally!" Megan yelled across the room as Conner grumbled, flinging one arm over his eyes.

Zatanna's cheeks flushed red. She turned and left the kitchen as fast as she could.

The weekend went by in a blur of Gotham patrol, kissing, hanging out in the cave, kissing, lounging on the beach, kissing, and a lot of taunting and jests from Wally and the rest of the team. On Sunday night, Zatanna lay back on her bed smiling. Dick had just left to go finish some school work at the last minute. She had packed her bag and was ready for an early start for her second week back at school. She picked up her magic book and started flicking through the pages, and that's when she remembered him. Klarion. She had asked for his help saving her father from Nabu and on Wednesday, he was planning on finding her again. Dick had told her how she was under surveillance for her own safety, so there was no way she could meet Klarion without the League finding out.

"What the.."

She sat bolt right reading something handwritten along the margin of the page.

'Fate is not male or female, but both as one. Until this realization, Fate's full potential can't be reached'

Was this about the Helmet of Fate? She knew her father had researched it with Kent Nelson a long time ago, and it was Zataro's hand writing.

'I'll tell him this.. and then beg him to leave me alone..and not to hurt my father..' She closed the book and got into bed, unable to sleep at her unhappy reminder of her poor decisions. Her brain was wrecked trying to think of excuses to throw off her surveillance on Wednesday.
