Zatanna's recent days at the Cave had been horrible and boring. Artemis went to year round school, M'Gann was still depressed over Connor, and in truth she was a little pissed off at Dick too. Black Canary had told all the girls to just try to be productive as possible while the boys were grounded. Zatanna went jogging around Happy Harbor, played video games, cleaned the Cave, and practiced her magic but overall she was bored as hell. M'Gann wasn't cheery, she didn't feel like cooking, and she hadn't even said, "Hello Megan" since Connor left. Artemis was the worst. When she was in the Cave she moped about, didn't clean her room and constantly talked about Wally and how dumb he was. It was official. The boys made everything interesting around the Cave, and without them the Team sucked. Hell there was no Team. They missed Dick's laugh, Wally's flirtiness, Kaldur's innocence, and Connor's attitude.

"Well we finished another movie," Artemis groaned for like the third time.

"Artemis, Zatanna, correct me if I'm wrong but we're depressed right," M'Gann asked. They didn't answer they just shook their heads yes. "Then is this the perfect time for ice cream?"

At the mention of ice cream Zatanna perked up. "Yes M'Gann," she answered. "This is the perfect time. Eci maerc ecom ot em. Slwob dna snoops osla." The giant tub of vanilla flew out the freezer and three bowls came from the cabinet. It all landed on the coffee table.

"Forget the bowls lets dig dig in," Artemis yelled.

They were about to when a red blur ran through and stole the tub. The girls quick smile turned into a frown when they realized that it wasn't their Speedster in front of them.

"Trust me girls that never helps," said the Flash holding the tub.

"What do you want," Artemis asked rudely.

"Wally says you're down right rude and to the point. Look I know you guys have got to be bored out of your minds just going to school everyday (Artemis) and being around the Cave all day with Red (Zatanna and M'Gann); soooo what do you say I treat the three of you to dinner? Any where you guys want to go and I'll pay. In or out what do you guys say?"

The girls looked at one another and smiled. Dinner was a perfect reason to get out of the Cave.

"Recognized Wonder Woman 03"

The four walked to the Cave entrance to see the Princess of Themyscira standing. "Hi ladies, ready for a mission," asked Wonder Woman. The girls couldn't hide the look of excitement on their face. Finally a mission would be better than this horrible vacation.

"Hold on there Diana," said Flash. "I'm taking them to dinner. And Batman put them on vacation and told them they can't do missions."

"I have my ways of coercing the Bat to change his mind Flash, not to mention I'm not afraid of him. They can go."

"I hate to think what you did to convince Batman to change his mind."

"Are you insinuating something here Flash?"

"Do I need to spell it out for you Princess?"

"How about I punch you in the mouth, and break every damn tooth you have for talking about my personal life?"

"Ever been punched in the face at 300 mph because I'm pretty sure that will break your jaw?"

"How dare you threaten to hit a woman!"

"I won't hit a woman, but I will punch a BITCH!"

The girls on the Team were standing still feeling completely uncomfortable. And then they were very confused when Flash and Wonder Woman burst out laughing and gave one another a hug.

"Oh Hera we haven't done that in months Flash," Wonder Woman laughed. "Look at their faces. It works every time on people who haven't seen us do that."

The Flash broke away from Wonder Woman and turned to the girls. "Have fun on your mission tonight. I'll come and take you guys wherever you want to go later this week."

"What did you do about Baywatch's tattoo," asked Artemis.

The Flash started laughing even more. "Wally doesn't have a tattoo." Now all the girls began shifting. When the Flash saw their faces he yelled," THAT LITTLE BASTARD." He ran to the zeta tube and was gone.

"I don't think Kid Flash is going to thank you for that," said Wonder Woman. She went over to the zeta tube and typed in a few keys.

"Access Granted Recognized Jason Blood A09, Authorization Wonder Woman 04"

A man Zatanna had never seen walked through the zeta tube. He was wearing a business suit. He had hair the color of blood, but going down the middle he had one pure white streak.

"It's a pleasure to meet you ladies," Jason said with an obvious British accent.

Artemis never one not to be blunt said," your voice is very sexy Mister Blood."

Jason blushed. "Sorry young lady, but your centuries too young for me. And please call me Jason. I may be older than everyone in this room, but that doesn't mean I liked to be called Mister."

"How old are you," M'Gann asked.

"I'm well over 900."

Before Zatanna could ask how he could be that old, Wonder Woman interrupted. "We're getting off topic," she said. "Girls you can interrogate Jason as much as you want later, but tonight the three of you are going to help him retrieve the Gem of Diablo."

Jason walked over to the middle of the training and began typing on the holo-computer. A picture of a purple gem the size of cantaloupe appeared. Jason continued to type and super villains were appearing. A picture of a woman in a dark green dress, with green hair looking to be in her 40's, a boy with blond hair of about 12, and a picture Zatanna was all to familiar with.

"This is Morgan Le Fey and her son Mordred," said Jason indicating to the two. "They are just as old as I am, if not older. I am stronger than each of them individually, but fighting them together is difficult even for me. And this is-

"Fucking Klarion." They all turned to look at Zatanna who had swore.

Wonder Woman looked at them. "It is imperative that you three do not let this gem fall into the wrong hands. Jason will be accompanying you on your mission. Leave Morgan Le Fey to him, the three of you shall fight Mordred."

M'Gann stated the obvious," but what about Klarion?"

"The two times we've fought with him we've gotten our butts kicked," Artemis added. "Badly too I might add."

"Recognized Doctor Fate 17"

Zatanna felt her heart stop for a quick second. Her dad or rather Doctor Fate walked through the zeta tube to join them. Completely ignoring Zatanna, he said," leave Klarion to Fate."

They all looked at Zatanna except for Jason Blood. He obviously didn't know that Zatara was inside Fate, or he was just kind enough not to stare at her like she was going to burst out in tears any second.

Zatanna took a deep breath and asked," where is the Gem located exactly?"

"Inside one of the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt," answered Jason.

"Which one though," asked Wonder Woman. "You can't waste time looking through all the pyramids. The bad guys could find the gem and extract its power before you."

"Any Lord of Order, or Chaos can locate the gem," replied Doctor Fate. "Which is why we must find it before Klarion can. However to extract its power takes time though. You must stand completely still to extract the magic within it.

"What exactly does the Gem of Diablo do," asked Zatanna.

Nabu actually looked at her for a second before spoke. "It enhances magical energies tenfold, and gives the magician the power to control the darkest souls from hell; so you can see how we can't let the Gem fall into the hands of renegade sorcerers."

"How are we getting there," asked Artemis. She pressed a button on her wristwatch and was immediately transformed into her uniform.

"I will transport us."

"Egnahc ym sehtolc," cried Zatanna and a second later she was in her magician outfit. "That's a bad idea Doctor. We could easily end up in an ambush that way. We need to come up with a plan."

"Your skirt was longer the last time I encountered you. Why have you made it so short? And since when did you start wearing make-up?"

Zatanna smiled but ignored him. Her father hadn't lost himself to Fate completely. M'Gann transformed into her stealth outfit. "We can take the Bioship we'll be there in an hour," she said.

Wonder Woman gave each of the girls a hug. "I will be praying to Hera for your safe return. Keep them safe Jason." She simply nodded at Doctor Fate.

"I'll try to keep them safe Diana," said Jason. "My other half will most likely wish to rip off their faces though if they get in his way during battle."

"What other half," Artemis asked horrified.

"Well you see I'm actually-"

"The time for talk is at an end," interrupted Nabu. "We have a Gem to retrieve.

The girls all walked to the Bioship wondering who this other half was Jason had referred to. M'Gann took her usual seat at the helm, Zatanna sat as far away from Doctor Fate as she could, Jason sat next to Artemis, and Doctor Fate was floating in the back near M'Gann meditating. M'Gann's eyes turned green and she fired up the Bioship.

"Coordinates locked, next stop Egypt," she cried.

They were off.
