Another Night

They worked hard on the time communication. Their little break from before might have gotten them behind, but they have time. They kept on working on it with no distractions this time, until all their stomachs rumbled. The time was almost 7. It was time for dinner anyway and Robin was almost done with the computer module. M'gann didn't have enough time to cook so they just had a take out order from a Chinese place. All of them stopped working and relaxed while eating.

The teens talked random about random stuff, but the little ones were secretly talking telepathically.

"This is boring, I want to go home now." Rachel demanded.

"Well we have to wait." Adam said.

"I miss home too Rachel, but we have to finish this time communicator to call our parents so that they can get us. And plus if you guys didn't push me to saying that spell we wouldn't be in this mess." Maria said.

"Yeah we know; sorry." Kenny apologized.

Their heads drooped down with a sad face and they stopped eating. At first the teens didn't see the sad faces until Wally asked, "What's wrong Rache?"

Rachel was all sad. She wanted to cry badly, but she was keeping strong so she just had her head down and said, "I want to go home. We all do."

"I miss my mom and dad." Kenny said

"I snapped last night. I want them back." Maria said almost teary eyed.

Adam sighed and his lips were a little bit quivering, but you can barely see it. Rachel couldn't take it. She hugged Wally very tightly and tried to hide the tears that came down. He couldn't believe that this was the same little girl who was laughing and giggling yesterday from her sugar rush and the story he told her last night or the same one who fought Vandal Savage with him today. Wally just let her hug him and he also patted her back. Everyone just looked at Rachel and Wally and their little moment. Maria didn't feel like crying, but everything inside of her was saying to cry. When she blinked she let out a little tear.

"It's okay Maria." Zatanna hugged Maria and started comforting her. Maria just kept on crying. The boys wasn't looking good either.

"I think this is good spot to stop." Kaldure said.

Maria was muttering about his daddy. Artemis also comforted Rachel and tried to make her stop crying. Adam was hiding behind Kaldure. Kenny was holding M'gann's hand. Everyone was a mess.

"It's okay we're going to take you back home, we promise." Robin said as he put a hand on Maria's shoulder.

Maria was still sobbing but she let out, "Daddy!" in between her sob. This time she went to Robin. Robin felt bad for her so he held her up and let her cry on his shoulder. Zatanna tried to calm her down.

It was night time already. They cleaned their tears in their bath. They just wore the same pajamas from last night. They all thought that the kids were very tired from all the hard work today. So they just planed to finish the work without them and surprise them in the morning. And with all the tears that was on their eyes the kids fell asleep easily. And to make sure they really went to sleep they did the same routine from last night. Kaldure sat in the same comfy chair until Adam fell asleep, M'gann and Conner tried to hum a song again, Robin didn't feel like singing so he just hummed the song while hugging her like last night when Maria had the nightmare and Zatanna just sat next to her on the bed until her eyes closed, and Wally did a story, but this time it wasn't a funny story it was more of a sleepy story and Artemis also did the baa,baa, black sheep song. (This time she does it right)

They all went back to the room where they were making the time communicator. At first it was silent until Artemis said, "I feel bad for them."

"Yeah me too." M'gann and Zatanna said.

"Well the sooner we get this done the sooner they get home." Wally said as he handed a tool to Robin.

"You're right and we promised, remember." Robin said.

"So when is this thing done." Conner asked.

"Well it just depends if we're going to stay here all night." Robin said.

"I'll be right back to call my mom." Artemis said as she left the room.

All of them worked hard on it, but it got really slow when it was mid-night. Around that time everyone passed out. Artemis was the first to sleep. She was very tired so Wally just offered his shoulder for her head to lean in to. Later on Wally also fell asleep in a couch with Artemis's head on his shoulder and Wally's head on her head. M'gann and Conner snuggled together in another couch next to them. Kaldure was actually the only one who wasn't lazy and went to his room. That only ones left was Zatanna and Robin. Zatanna was getting sleepy too even though she put that spell on her to try not to sleep, but boy wonder was use to the late nights. Later on Zatanna gave up and slept in the third sofa.

10 minutes later...

Robin couldn't believe it, but his eyes were getting tired. At all the hard word he has done he should be tired. He only need to make a little twink until the computer module was done. His eyes felt like there were brick on top of it. After he finally finshed the computer module he left it where it was and tried to see if there was another couch he could use to sleep because he figured out that he doesn't have a room since Maria was still sleeping in his. The last couch was taken by Zatanna. He didn't feel like going home because he was too lazy to do that or tired. He didn't know what to do, but he didn't want to walk all the way anyway. Zatanna was sort of sleeping in the couch. I guess the spell hasn't wore out yet. She peeked at one eye and saw the tired and confused boy wonder.

She sat up as she rubbed her eyes, "Hey are you done with the computer module?"

Robin looked back at her, "Yeah, I didn't mean to wake you up."

Zatanna smiled at him for being nice even at this late of night, "No, you didn't wake me up. I think my spell is about to ware off. Are you looking for a couch to sleep in?"

Robin rubbed his neck as he said, "Yeah, I don't feel like going home and Maria has my bed."

"Well those two love birds took all the blankets so I'm ganna need a partner." Zatanna said.

Robin did a little laugh, "Sure."

Robin turned off the lights. He took off his shades, but he was pretty sure Zatanna didn't see his eyes. They both laid down on the couch snuggled together. Zatanna's spell was warring away. Robin's warmth on his shoulder made Zatanna feel more comfortable. It didn't take long until they both fell asleep.

Around 6:00 in the morning...

Kenny was the earliest one to wake up. He wondered where Conner was because yesterday when he woke up Conner was up early too. He couldn't find him any where. He went out of his room. No one was still awake. He went to a random room labeled guestroom 1. First he knocked before entering in; there was no noise so he just went in. When the door slides open he saw Rachel still asleep. He didn't feel like waking her up, but since it was morning already he thought it was all alright. He started saying her name, but she just buried her head under the pillow. Then he started shaking her shoulder. That time it got Rachel's attention.

Rachel sat up and said "What!"

Kenny just looked back at her as if thinking to himself that it was a bad idea to wake her up. It wasn't until Rachel calmed down and Kenny said, "Sorry to wake you up cranky pants, but it's morning. And I don't know where the other people are."

"Well you asked the wrong person, but I think Adam or Maria knows where they are." Rachel said.

"Ummm... I don't know where they are." Kenny said.

"Fine, fine I'll come with you," Rachel said as she tried to get up and out of bed, "I think Adam's room is closer."

They got out of guest room 1 and went to guest room 2 which is where Adam was. Adam was stretching his hands although he wasn't ready to get out of bed yet because his feet was still asleep. He was going to drown back into the bed until someone knocked on the room. Before he could say anything the door opened and Kenny and Rachel went in and still in their pajamas.

"Hey friends." Adam said.

"Hey Adam do you know where the others are." Rachel asked.

"Yes, and I think we're going to pass Maria's room." Adam said.

"Okay come on." Kenny said.

Adam got out of his bed. They went out of the room and they went to where Maria was sleeping. Maria was still in Robin's room she couldn't believe she slept the whole night without a bad nightmare. She just thought that with all the hard work she did fighting Vandal Savage, doing all that hard work helping make the communicator, and the tears that strolled down her cheeks last night might have made her really sleepy and tired. Maria just got out of her bed and headed for her door. When the door opened she saw Rachel rushing toward her. Luckily Rachel stopped right in front of her with Kenny and Adam right behind her.

"Whoa! Rachel why are you in a hurry." Maria said.

"Oh we're not it's just early in the morning." Rachel said.

"Okay.." Maria said.

"Hey Maria we're going to the place or room where our young parents are wanna come?" Kenny asked.

"Sure they're just over there." Maria said as she pointed at the area.

"We know, but I think their still asleep so we have to be quiet." Adam said as his voice went more silent.
