Author Note: Still a few more laughs, mostly because the next chapter will be an actual episode from Young Justice (which are harder to write).

Chapter 13- Sandy:

Danny:
Being stuck in my room for almost a few weeks was not fun- at all. I was injured on a mission and despite my healing powers, I was still pretty stiff and sore. I had no idea what was going on with the Team- what missions they were going on and such. I didn't plan on finding out. If I found out then I would sneak off and join them only to get my butt chewed out later by Batman. Hence why I was stuck in my room where I couldn't overhear anything (and I had to give orders to M'gann to leave me out of any and all mental conversations). My blueprints and trips to the Zone kept me occupied at least. Though, occasionally someone stopped by to talk to me. Wally begged me for the numbers of the girls I got at the school- apparently Robin had found out about the bet I made with Dick Grayson and told the whole team. Artemis came up to give me a slap on the head because of the numbers I got from girls- M'gann came up and did the same thing too (as well as come by to make sure she got the recipes right). Superboy even came up to get dating advice, of all things. Now that was a funny memory.


I looked up as I heard someone knocking at the door. I quickly shoved some of the blueprints under some notebooks and hide the letters from Ivy and Harley.

"Come in," I said loudly.

To my surprise, it wasn't Megan that came in. It was Connor, who looked a bit sheepish as he stepped in, closing the door behind him. He coughed awkwardly and took a seat on the bed.

"Uhhh," I mumbled, unsure what was he needed.

"…I need some… advice."

"Advice," I asked in confusion, "Uhhh okay… Meditation often helps with anger issues. Megan could-"

"-No," Connor snapped, "I need some… dating… advice… I… Megan and I had kissed that day in the kitchen and… I'm not sure where to go from here."

He put his head in his hands. I sat beside him on the bed,

"No offense, but why are you asking me?"

"Robin is too young. Wally's advice is terrible. Artemis might get mad. Kaldur is just as clueless about dating as I am. But according to Robin, you got several girls' numbers and half of the school's female population fawning over you already. Plus I know you won't laugh…"

I rubbed the back of my neck sheepishly.

"Well… I'm flattered you came to me, but there's not much I can tell you. I mean, dating is different for everyone, so someone's advice might not be accurate or work because you and her are a different type of relationship- and no, I don't mean species, I mean you as people are different. All I can is… Don't compare yourself to other couples because like I said everyone is different, and remember the perfect couple doesn't exist. You will fight sometimes. You will both need to be alone sometimes. It's okay to have different interests and stuff. Don't change who you are to please someone else…. I uhh… Wish you luck, man, really."

I awkwardly patted him on the back, but he actually gave me a quick bro-like hug, patting me on the back before letting me go. He started to leave and he turned back,

"And uhh.. thanks, by the way."


I was finally healed enough to get out.

The second I exited my room, I was greeted by a large white wolf who licked me. I laughed and gently pushed him off. The large wolf, Wolf, was saved by Superboy on a previous mission. He was huge due to being mutated by Kobra venom. I petted him behind the ears and headed towards the main room. I looked around in confusion and turned to Wolf,

"Do you know where they are?"

He huffed at me- he either had no idea or he wasn't going to show me the way to them. I stuck my tongue out at him and continued to make faces until he just walked away,

"Hey don't walk away from me!"

"Ehem," someone coughed.

I turned around to see a girl. She was Robin's age with long black hair and dressed like a magician, but I didn't recognize her. No names came to mind.

"You must be Spirit, or Danny," she said warmly, "Robin told me there was another guy on the team and that you were injured… Glad to see you're feeling better."

"Who are you," I asked bluntly, "A new member?"

No one told me about any new members. Then again, no one really could since I asked them not to tell me anything. She laughed,

"I'm Zatana. I guess they didn't tell you about me?"

She looked down and I put a hand on her shoulder and knelt down a bit so I could look her in the eyes,

"Don't feel bad, I kind of ordered them to not say much to me while I was healing. That way I didn't hear about missions that I would want to sneak out for."

"Why didn't you want to sneak out?"

Because I don't want Batman to regret putting me on the team, I thought, but instead I just laughed,

"And get chewed out by the Bats? No thanks. So where is everyone?"

"At the beach. I'm headed there myself, coming?"

"Sure. I'll just have to change."

I flew up to my room and changed into swim trunks with a white t-shirt to cover my chest. When I got back down, Zatana was already changed. She gave me a smile before we headed out, Wolf following suit.


"I'm telling you," Robin said, "You missed out on a lot! We fought the Injustice League and everything!"

I gave him a confused look. I was currently laying on a towel on the sand while others were in the water having a water fight. Robin, however, stayed on land to fill me in on what I missed. Apparently, all I missed was that they fought some 'Injustice League' and got a new member (which was Zatana).

"Injustice League," I asked curiously.

"Yeah apparently all the baddies formed some secret society. Joker, Poison Ivy, Harley, Count Vertigo, Ultra-Humanite, Atomic Skull, Black Adam and Wotan were all on it. And we beat them!"

I cheered with Robin,

"How did you manage that?"

"Kaldur put on the Helmet of Fate- yeah I know, we almost beat him up about it too. It all worked out in the end though, I guess…"

Robin shrugged. I nodded my head slightly. So Ivy and Harley were in on this Injustice League too? Huh. That explains their letters. I had gotten a few letters from them. Harley's was the only one that vaguely mentioned some secret society of villains. Ivy's letter was about her pumping up her plants with some new venom- which apparently was Kobra venom. Zatana laughed as she sat on Artemis's shoulders, having a chicken fight with Megan who was on Connor's shoulders.

"Danny," Kaldur called out, "Are you not going to join us in the water? Surely you are getting warm?"

"Not really," I shook my head, "But yeah, I'll join you."

I sat up and stretched before heading into the ocean. I smirked seeing Robin was obviously flirting with Zatana- the two would totally end up together. I flew up into the air, only drop as I did a large cannonball, sending a huge wave over everyone.

I hope this lasts forever… This is a pretty sweet gig I got going on…
