Chapter 5:

On an unknown island in the Pacific Ocean, the Southern side-

Zatanna glanced up, squinting her eyes against the glare of the sun in order to catch sight of a brightly colored bird with an odd-looking scar fly through the foliage directly above them. Her stomach twisted slightly in discomfort and her spine tingled. She could've sworn that the animal made eye contact with her but then again, that could be the sun getting to her.

Zatanna fanned herself with a large, foot-long palm leaf she had picked up before they left the beach. This was one thing she had always conveniently glossed over when fantasizing about beaches or watching Lost reruns- it was freaking hot. It would be fine, maybe, if she was with Robin because he had this aura of confidence around him or maybe if she was with Artemis because they got along great but instead she was with-

"Are we there yet?"

Zatanna rolled her eyes. Kaldur was too far ahead of her to even hear Wally's question.

She fanned herself again wishing she could summon the energy to run ahead and join Kaldur in being out of range of the whining speedster. Unfortunately, they hadn't been able to find any coconut trees on the beach. So Wally was apparently about to faint any second now and never hesitated to remind them of that fact at any given moment. Zatanna couldn't decide if she was looking forward to when he finally collapsed and shut up or not. Wally stumbled towards her and flung his arm around her shoulders, as though he could no longer support himself.

"No. We weren't there when you asked five minutes ago and we're still not there now. Also, we don't actually know where 'there' is."

Wally let out a long suffering sigh and leaned more of his weight on her. Zatanna stumbled for a second and came to a stop while Wally lazily gestured with his free hand.

"Now, I'm not saying that magic is real or anything more than just some misunderstood science, but - if you could do some hocus pocus stuff, and this is a big if- then is there any way you could poof up some food?"

Zatanna couldn't help but chuckle.

"You're ridiculous." She said, grinning despite her words. Wally returned her grin, his green eyes glittering with mischief as they began to walk again, his arm still draped around her shoulders.

"Ridiculously hot?" He asked, fluttering his eyelashes. Zatanna shrugged his arm off and nodded, pretending to be serious.

"Obviously. Must be why I'm sweating like crazy." Zatanna replied, straight faced as she fanned herself dramatically.

Wally leaned into the breeze she was creating, coming inches within her face. Zatanna lifted a hand to shove him away, when Wally to turned his face slightly to meet her gaze.

"Don't worry, you still look beautiful." Wally said. His words were typical 'Wall-man' but his tone was way more...genuine than she was used to. Their eyes met and Zatanna frowned slightly because those green eyes sparkled with something different.

"Thanks." She said awkwardly, watching him shrug nonchalantly and move away.

"Just telling the truth." He said, winking. Zatanna relaxed slightly at the wink- that was something that was much more expected from the redhead. She shook her head slightly, cracking a smile at the speedster. She never took his words seriously because he was like that with everyone except Artemis, which was confusing because she could've sworn that the blonde had something going on with him and-

"Zatanna, Wally- I have found a clearing."

A blur sped by her to join Kaldur up front, the words he shouted whipping past her ears, but sounding something like:

"Really? Yes! Food? Food foood-"

Shaking her head, Zatanna blinked up at the sky once, wiped her forehead and trudged after the two boys.
