Chapter 12: Proposition

Cave Medical Bay

Zatanna's POV:

I finally woke up. I felt like I was in a coma, I could hear everything going on but I just couldn't wake up. Nightwing has been here the whole time. 3 days. He didn't leave my side. He talked to me, told me everything was fine and that I was brave for putting on the helmet. He thought he'd lost me. When I woke up, he kissed me and hugged me so hard. I cried because I hated being apart from him.

Nightwing's POV:

When Zee woke up, I was so happy. There were so many things I wanted to say to her, she hadn't missed a lot. Batman put the Alpha Squad on the sidelines while Zee was on the mend. We couldn't do much without her, she was our strongest link. "Zee I missed you so much!" I told her. "I missed you too, Dick." She replied weakly. She got up and we walked into the living area where everyone was still waiting to see Zatanna.

She embraced each member of the team, she had missed them all. Zatara came in and hugged his daughter, he loved her more than anything in the world. I waited for Zatanna to go off with the girls, so I could talk to the guys. "Guys, I have some news!" I said excitedly. "Come on bro, spit it out!" Wally replied. "I'm going to marry Zatanna." I stated. They all looked shocked. They were all married, what's the big deal? "That's a big move, Dick, are you sure?" Kaldur questioned. He always was the Good Samaritan.

"I'm going to do it tonight." I answered. Conner patted me on the back. "Congratulations!" He said. Wally was stuffing his face with pizza. "What kind of cake are you having?" He asked between chews. "We're not engaged yet..." I answered while laughing at him. We were 21 years old now... He was such a child. "Good luck, then" Wally mumbled.

Wayne Manor

Batman's POV:

Dick showed up on my doorstep at around 2pm. "Hey son." I greeted him. "Hey Dad." He replied. "Can I talk to you?" He asked me. "Sure." I gestured for him to enter. We sat in the sofas in the living room, while Nightwing spoke. "I'm going to ask Zatanna to marry me." He stated. "Oh." I replied. "I have the ring sorted and everything, I just have to ask Zatara's permission." I nodded at this, and looked at the ring Dick produced. It was a beautiful silver ring, with a big Sapphire in the middle. "I hope he gives you his blessing." I told him. Nightwing stood up and left.

New York City

Nightwing's POV:

I knocked on Zatara's door, hoping he would be home. He was. Zatara opened the door, and gestured for me to come in. "Well?" He asked me. "I need to ask you something." I stated. "Go ahead." He motioned for me to continue. "I would like your permission to marry Zatanna." I said. Zatara looked shocked, but then he smiled. "You have my blessing." He replied in his Italian accent. "Really?" I asked, rather shocked. "Zatanna is so happy with you. It would be selfish for me to decline!" He said. I smiled and got up to leave, so happy that I could marry Zee.

The Cave

Zatanna's POV:

Everyone was gathered in the living room. Nightwing came in moments later. "Zee, can I talk to you?" He asked. Dick took off his mask. I walked over to him. "Zatanna, I've known you for 8 years. I've never loved anyone more in my life, then I love you, and I never will. I looked at him with a look of slight confusion. "Will you marry me?" He asked. I answered as soon as he finished the question "YES!" I hugged him so hard after he fitted my ring. It was beautiful.

Ooh A wedding! Batgirl won't be pleased! R&R.
