New Justice

I ask her, "What do you need?"

She says to me in a bright tone, "A bunch of criminals are shipping a rare and powerful magical item from Gotham shipping yard in half an hours time we can't let that happen." After this she immediately claps her hands together and whispers some magic words and expands open a huge purple portal.

She says to me, in a happy voice "Coming?"

I reply back to her not very confidently, "Yeah … of course, ladies first." She gives me a cute giggle at my clear nervousness and walks through the portal positively. I hesitantly make my way through the portal and am amazed when I'm sent through the portal to Gotham.

I see Zatanna is sitting on the edge of the roof and she says to me, "We've got a bit of time to kill sit for a while." I do as she says and sit beside her.

I say to her curiously, "so why is this personal?"

Her smile falters and she says, "I appreciate that I haven't told you everything but I'd rather not talk about it."

I say to her solemnly, " I understand and I'm sorry I didn't me to-"

She cuts me off and says, "Its fine don't worry."

I say to her in a light voice, "We could trade our worries if you want."

She laughs at this and turns her gaze away from the harbour and to my face and says, "you first."

I give small smile at this and say, " Since I was six years old I was raised by Ra's al Ghul all I knew was how to fight when it came down to killing I just couldn't do it and that was a problem a serious one."

Zatanna said, "So what happened?"

I said in a dark tone, "They ensured my loyalty by using some sought of my mind control chip they made me kill people I've ruined a lot of lives."

Zatanna said in a sympathetic tone, "None of that's on you it wasn't your fault."

I shook my head at this and said bitterly, " no it is my fault."

Zatanna asks cautiously, "How is it?"

I say to her resentfully, "The woman I loved manipulated and ended up tricking me into getting the chip and even worse than that after all she's done I still miss her…."

I end it with my voice almost cracking as I finish by saying, "I should have seen it coming but I was blind and because of this I failed to see what she really was and that cost innocent people their lives."

I finish by saying, "The nightmares aren't what bothers me what bothers me is the idea that I could loose control again and take more lives."

Zatanna says, " Great well you've officially made me feel exceptionally guilty for making this deal whatever happens I promise I'll get rid of that mind control."

I give out a small chuckle and say, "Your turn."

She laughs at this and says, " Damn I thought I got away with it."

I say to her cheekily, "Nice try."

She gives me a small punch to the arm and says, "This is your fault."

She then says in a tender tone, " The reason why this is personal is because this relic that we're going to get can save my farther."

I ask her, "What does he need saving from?"

She says, "It's complicated he's Doctor Fate… A sprit called Nabu won't release my farther he's been imprisoned by him and no matter what I do I can't save him this is my one chance to save him.

I say to her, " I'm sure you'll save him and I'll do everything I can to help you."

She smiles at me and says, "Thanks it seems Batman was right about you."

I give her a questioning look and she clarifies by saying, "Batman said you were a good person."

I laugh at this and say, "Batman said that?"

She chuckled at this and said, "well he didn't say it quiet like that but I could see that he meant that."

I say to her, " I owe him a lot if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have had a chance to be good and I have a lot I need to be thankful for."

She looks at me and says, " You've earned it a lot of hero's have been talking about you."

I say to her, "That's quiet the compliment considering it's from a justice league member."

She said, " Well it's a deserved compliment."

Her eyes now retracted off me and looked over to the bay. My heart felt light after talking her and I'll admit I was struggling to peel my eyes off her. She's jaw droopingly beautiful it almost sneaks up on you. Her personality was bubbly and infectious. I shouldn't be thinking about her right now I have a job to do and a promise to keep. It doesn't matter now anyway in till Ra's al Ghul is out of my mind I can't consider anything else. Zatanna said, "You said you still cared for her? I don't know how you could after what she's done."

I say to Zatanna, "I don't care for her but … its more not having someone there that's hard."

She said in a flirty tone, "You never no someone else could pop into your life."

I retort back at her saying, " I think I someone's already popped up she seems to be a pretty magical girl." She bows her head blushing her shiny black hair falls down covering her face. I turn away from her and see a string black cars with tinted out windows drive through to the shipyard. This must be our target.

I say to Zatanna, "C'mon there here we need to be ready."
