HELLO READERS! I'M BACK! Sorry I was gone for so long; spent time away from my laptop. It was awful! But I'm back for a few days so I'm hoping to get a few chapters up; at least Humanity and Failsafe. I would like to get Humanity, Failsafe and Disordered up in that time then do my own chapters late next week. Anyways… this chapter is Part 1 of Humanity with Zatanna. Expect some drama and jealousy to make an appearance from Angelee. She begins to question everything around her; what she really feels and what she really wants in Part 2 and questions it even more in Failsafe and Disordered. It's going to be really good I promise. So enough of me talking; you guys are here to read the story not me talking. Please review with thoughts and suggestions.

Disclaimer in Chapter 1

Chapter 26-Humanity Part 1

~Mount Justice, October 10th, 16:58 or 4:58pm, Normal POV~

Being able to skip training with the team, Angelee was doing her own training in preparation for her battle with Dremlick. It's been a week and she hasn't heard from William yet. She was getting worried; she feared he got captured or worse… killed. Luckily she's been communicating with Rukmell again. Oh how she missed him. During this last week, he has shown her many things and taught her many new spells. Anxious to master them, she spent most of her time in the gym by herself. The others were starting to get concerned. They knew she liked to be alone but this was even too much for her; the mental link was sealed shut, she barely entered the Mission Room anymore and worse… she avoided almost all contact with the team.

While she was in the gym practicing the energy veils, the rest of the team was training with Black Canary while Wally was resting his broken arm. Poor Captain Marvel; Angelee felt so bad for him. Wally was making him run to heaven and back; waiting on him hand and foot. Every so often when Wally would see her he'd holler at her and ask her to get him something. Angelee wouldn't do it; it was just one arm. His legs were fine and he still had the other arm; he is more than capable of getting himself off the chair and walking into the kitchen to get something to eat or drink. But NO not Wally; he was too lazy and that just angered Angelee. She felt the anger sensation grow when Captain Marvel cleared his throat,

"Umm… Angelica… I hate to interrupt."

Sighing at the interruption, the anger dispersed,

"Yes Captain?"

"Black Canary would like to speak to you."

"Of course. I'll be right there."

Captain flew off to wait on Wally some more. Putting all the practice dummies back in the cabinet, Angelee left the gym and went to the briefing area to speak with Canary. Luckily her back was healed so more nasty smelling healing lotion had to go on anymore. Once there, she saw Wally sitting in a reclining chair, Robin on the ground from getting knocked down by Artemis and Miss Martian battling Aqualad. She looked at Wally,

"Must you have Captain waiting on you hand and foot?"

"Hey, he insists on doing it. Not my fault."

Angelee laughed,

"Yeah I believe that when you actually realize how obnoxious you are."

"Good work everyone," Canary walked in, "in fact it's been a very productive week."

The team froze then Artemis teased Wally,

"Yeah except for Kid Malingerer."

Wally took offense to that,

"Hey!" He waved his casted arm, "Arm broken in combat during the Injustice League here."

"Ohh one arm the world is going to end," Angelee was sarcastic, "It's not like your other arm or both of your legs are broken. You're more than capable of getting your lazy butt off that chair and walking into the kitchen like a NORMAL person and getting yourself food!"

Canary laughed,

"Good to see you Angelica. Where have you been? Heard you've been keeping to yourself lately."

"Been working on something. Haven't really had the time to do much else."

"I've really enjoyed being your den-mother this week…" Canary was cut short by the computer.

"RECOGNIZED ZATARA! 11!" Zatara appeared through the zeta tubes. He pulled up a keyboard and entered a password, "ACCESS GRANTED! ZATANNA ZATARA! A03! AUTHORIZATOIN ZATARA! 11"

The zeta tubes glowed to reveal a young girl with a school outfit with black hair.

"Zatanna, this is the team. Team, this is my daughter… Zatanna."

Zatanna was nervous and shy; she kept looking around the Cave. Miss Martian was the first to greet her,

"Hi! I'm…" she was interrupted by someone Angelee least suspected.

"Robin!" He cleared his throat, "I mean," he chuckled, "I'm… Robin."

"What is he doing? He's never that welcoming… he was only like that…" Angelee stopped. She suddenly put two and two together, "you've got to be kidding me!"

Robin continued to introduce the team,

"She's Meghan, that's Wally, Artemis, Kaldur and Conner." They all smiled to greet her.

"Welcome to the Cave." Aqualad was the most hospitable one so far.

Zatanna, in Angelee's eyes, wasn't interested in the Cave,

"Uh, thanks."

Robin was beginning to act like Wally; something he NEVER did. He never paid attention to other girls; he always said his full attention was on Angelee. She was the only girl who ever stole his heart; when he allowed it to open. Which for him, wasn't very often but Angelee always had a way of making it. That was one thing he loved about her.

"What are you doing boy?" She began to feel something; something she's never felt fully before, "What is this feeling?" Looking at her fingertips, they were green… like Miss Martian green, "Is this…jealousy? No… no it couldn't… why would I be jealous? What do I have to be jealous of?" She noticed Zatanna talking to the team; Conner getting worked up, "This is not happening… Robin can't be crushing on her… he told me I was only person he ever looked at that way… I was the only person he could trust with his life and his secrets… that I'd be the only girl in his life…" more jealousy took over, "I can't be… crushing on him can I? I never even thought of that stuff lately; not since the lighthouse…" she shook the thoughts out of her head; her fingertips returning to normal. Puzzled, her mind relived the day Dick told her she was the only one for him; why he never paid attention to any other girl since she came into his life.

~Flashback. Two years ago~

After a long day at school, Angelee was sitting in her room in Wayne Manor on the ledge of her window; sketchbook in hand. This drawing had to be something personal for art class. The teacher asked for a drawing that was interpersonal for the next day; something that the drawer wouldn't mind showing the rest of the class. This was sort of hard for her; it wasn't something she did normally. Her heart and most personal thoughts were just that; personal. Usually she kept all emotions and typical Earthly things to a minimum. Royalty on Trivoyian are known for being calm and collected all the time; never under stress or showing emotion to others outside of the family. Normally, Angelee didn't have a problem doing that. No one knew what she was really thinking. Well, one person did and he was getting better the closer they got. And this scared her. That was it; that was her drawing! Two people; worlds apart, being able to understand one another. But not wanting to give anything away, she made sure they would look different but represent the two individuals. Starting at the far left corner, she began to draw a bird; symbolizing Dick. The bird would be perched on a large tree branch; sun light over it but darkness on the other side. Around the tree was soft green grass with beautiful daisies only adding to the beauty of the bird's world. But on the other side of the page was a dark world; nothing beautiful. It was all ruined by the horrors of the caterpillar's life. Curled on a fallen tree, the caterpillar was lonely and scared. Fallen trees, burned grass and flowers; tiny smoke clouds were the highlight of this world. The horrifying large fire destroyed all the joy and happiness the caterpillar had. Adding flames around the fallen tree, they depicted the close ending of Angelee's life when Dremlick found her in the warehouse. The caterpillar in the drawing was ready to accept its death. Flipping to a new page, it was split into two different drawings. One side was the bird flying in save the caterpillar from the flames; carrying it on its back over to its sunny happy world. Once clear from the fire, the bird landed on the perch in its happy world. The last drawing was the bird protecting the cocoon of the caterpillar until it broke; revealing a newly formed butterfly. Together, the bird and the butterfly were able to soar the skies in search for a new world where they can be happily together; no dark, sad world to remind the butterfly of its past. Deciding to draw one more, it was the bird and the butterfly landing in a much fuller tree with no dark world anywhere in sight. Plenty of grass, flowers and sunlight showered the new world in joy and delight. The bird and caterpillar were happy; resting in a nearby hole of the tree. The bird and the butterfly were free to be together; no dark past in the butterfly's mind.

That was it; the assignment was done. Smiling at her work, she felt her eyes begin to water; this was her life; minus the last drawing. She wasn't there yet. Becoming sad, the usual double knock on the door made her smile,

"Come in boy."

Dick's blue eyes appeared,

"Hey, what ya doing?"

"Just finished my art assignment," Angelee smiled, "hand hurts now."

Dick laughed while closing the door behind him,

"Can I see?"

"Well… it's kind of… personal…"

"Oh… I see." He sat on the bed; he was hurt.

Angelee thought of her drawings,

"Alright, come and look."

Excited, Dick jumped off the bed and sat on the ledge. Flipping to the first drawing, Angelee showed him,

"Wow… this is really good. So detailed. What is it supposed to tell?

"Mister Jomsky wanted a drawing that was personal; something we wouldn't mind showing the class."

Dick looked at every drawing,

"I know what this is…" he smiled, "it's us."

Blushing, Angelee nodded,

"Yeah… it is… it's creepy I know."

"No no not all! I love it!"

"You do?" She was surprised.

"How could I not," he went back to the first drawing, "this one tells how different we were. You're the caterpillar on the fallen tree and I'm the bird on the branch," he went to the next one, "here it tells how I came to save you when your Uncle found you in that warehouse. The bird flies in to save the caterpillar just before the flames kill it; I came through the skylight right before Dremlick killed you," the one next to it, "and the cocoon is you changing into a whole new person; me protecting you while it happens," the last one, "and us flying off together to find a new life for us; then finding one where your past can't haunt you anymore. It shows how close we are."

Angelee smiled,

"I can't… I can't believe you figured it out."

Grinning, Dick shrugged,

"I guess it's just our bond we share," he handed the book back, "it's amazing. I love it; a lot."

Shutting the sketchbook, Angelee held it close to her chest,

"Thanks. I couldn't decide what I wanted to draw; I don't share personal things."

"I know that all too well," Dick chuckled, "but there has been one person who I can truly open up to you."

"Bruce…I'm not surprised at that. He has been the father figure in your life; you can share anything with him."

"Actually," Dick looked out the window, "it's not Bruce."

This confused Angelee; they were so close,

"Really? Then who? Wally?"

This made his laugh,

"Not even close," Dick leaned against the wall, "in actuality… it's you."

Stunned… shocked… perplexed… those didn't even begin to describe what Angelee was feeling,

"Me? But why?"

"That's just it; I can't explain it," Angelee raised an eyebrow at that; she didn't understand that, "there's something about you that… that tells me that I can open my heart to you; completely open it."

Angelee understood how he felt,

"Let down all the walls and fences surrounding it. Yeah, I feel that way too."

"Really?"

Angelee nodded,

"Since my parents died, the only time I ever showed actual emotion; fear, sadness, happiness was when you were around. The first time you and Bruce found me in the abandoned building was the first time I showed fear when my Uncle wasn't around. Then when you took me to the Cave and gave me the grand tour was the first time I showed joy and happiness. I never talked about how I really felt until I met you."

Dick reached for her hands; holding them in his,

"I'm the same. I can sit here and tell you what is bothering me; why I'm angry, happy… sad and know that you'll be right there to help me through it."

"I feel the same. You've been there to do just that. When I was having the dreams, I was terrified that he may actually be back… that he may actually succeed in killing me; or you. But you were there to hold me; let me tell you what I was feeling. I never did that to anyone but you."

"And I'll be there to do that because you're the only person who has my heart; all of it."

Blushing once again, Angelee thought about the future,

"You know that's not true. There will come a day when you'll have a girlfriend and your heart will belong to her. After all, you have many suitors who would die to be your girlfriend."

Laughing more, Dick shook his head,

"No she won't because there is only one girl out there for me; and she's right here in front of me," they looked into each other's eyes, "and I don't plan on losing her anytime soon."

~Present time~

Coming back to present time, Angelee smiled then noticed the team leaving and Canary calling her over,

"Why aren't you going with the team?"

"Oh…" she thought of an excuse, "I have to get back to working on my thing." She went to leave but Canary put a hand on her shoulder,

"Are you feeling alright? Is your back hurting again?"

"I'm fine Canary!" She was harsh; too harsh, "I'm sorry; I didn't mean to be harsh. I just have a lot on my mind right now and just need some time alone."

Canary grew worried,

"Okay. If you need anything; talk about anything, I'm here."

"Thanks." Angelee left for the gym once again. There would be no way she'd talk to Canary about going to Trivoyian; she'd definitely tell Green Arrow and Batman. And Batman would, without a doubt, keep it from Robin but Green Arrow wouldn't. He was more the tattle tailor but Batman would lecture her about it. No, no one was to know about her decision but her, Rukmell and William. Especially not the team.

~Team's POV~

Getting to the kitchen in the tour, Zatanna walked next to Robin in white pants and a purple spaghetti strap tank-top; different than what she was wearing before.

"When did you… how did you…?" Robin was shocked. Not even Angelee changed that quickly.

"We're not REALLY taking a tour are we?"

Conner answered her,

"No! We're hunting down that robot!" He looked at Aqualad for the okay.

Agreeing, Aqualad nodded,

"Yes, we are."

"Ohh," Zatanna got intrigued, "wow, out loud and everything."

Artemis acted like Angelee now; she was no longer the rookie,

"What about new girl?"

Robin chuckled,

"I'm sure she won't tell."

Zatanna got an idea,

"I can't tell. Not if you… kidnap me." (Anybody else find that weird or is it just me?)

Artemis liked her already,

"Oh she's gonna fit in great."

They got ready to leave but Zatanna pointed out something,

"Umm… aren't we forgetting someone?" The team looked around, "The other blonde hair girl that was off by herself back by the tubes."

Robin face palmed his forehead,

"Oh yeah… Angelee."

Conner looked around,

"Where is she anyways?"

"I don't know. I thought she was right behind us." Robin rubbed the back of his head.

"Who is she?" Zatanna wanted to know her; find out about her like she did with the others.

"That's Angelica; Angelee for short. She's Black Crane." Miss Martian informed.

This excited Zatanna,

"No way! That was Black Crane!?"

Robin laughed,

"Oh yeah. Ignore the fact that she didn't come introduce herself; she gets like that with the newbies. She still hates Artemis over here."

"The feeling's mutual; trust me." Artemis folded her arms.

"Can we go already!?" Conner was getting impatient.

"Alright, we can talk about Angelee later. For now, let's go find Red Tornado." Aqualad put the Black Crane/Angelee matter to the side and got the team focused on the mission at hand.

Once in the bio-ship, they all sat in quiet until Black Canary contacted them,

"M'gann, the bio-ship wasn't clear for departure."

"We're kidnapping Zatanna! To show her… Happy Harbor. Be back later!"

"Uhhh roger that."

Zatara panicked,

"What? I did not give permission…"

But Black Canary defended them,

"They're kids Giovanni, good kids. You don't have to worry about them."

Back on the bio-ship, Robin stated the obvious,

"Where are we going? Batman is the world's greatest detective and he searched for Tornado and Morrow in every logical location. If we're gonna do better then we need an illogical solution;" he peeked around his chair, "a truly dumb idea." He smirked at Kid.

The others followed; all looking at Kid,

"As of matter of fact…" he was proud.

~Mount Justice, Angelee's POV~

Pulling the dummies from the cabinet again, she set them up in a line,

"Okay, if anger comes out red and knocks the person over… what do the others do; if anything at all. Let's try happiness first. That should be yellow," she thought of something happy. Becoming veiled in yellow, she aimed for a dummy. Expecting it to be knocked over, instead, it was sliced, "whoa! Wasn't expecting that." She moved to the next one, "now let's try sadness," she veiled in a bright blue. Expecting everything now, she was surprised to see the dummy surrounded by water, "hmm… drowning… interesting," there was one left but so many emotions; hurt, scared… jealousy… "I have to…" she thought of the one thing that made her jealous; Robin reacting the way he did with Zatanna. She felt the jealously flow through her; becoming veiled in green. Aiming at the very last dummy, she was afraid to see what would happen. Shutting her eyes, she launched an energy wave at it. Hearing a boom, her eyes opened to reveal the dummy blown to tiny pieces all around the room, "wwwhhhoooaaaaa…." She quickly shook the jealousy from her mind returning back to normal. Repairing the first and last dummies, she pulled out a notebook and took notes for future reference. After a short amount of time, the page was filled with notes, "okay… happy is sliced, sad is drowning, jealously is being blown up to pieces, scared is being teleported, hurt; both physically and mentally is a force field around me, love does nothing, pride pins and hope increases powers. Of course love doesn't do anything; it never has," she felt herself becoming jealous again, "no, not happening." Storing the dummies again, she left the gym and went to her room. Once there, she contacted Trivoyian.

"Hello Princess." Rukmell appeared before her.

"Rukmell, how are you?"

"Well thank you. How are things here?"

Angelee shrugged,

"As good as they can be."

Rukmell laughed,

"I sense something is troubling you Princess."

"Yes, a few things actually."

"Tell old Rukmell everything." He sat in front of her.

Taking a deep breath, Angelee broke the news,

"I'm having… boy issues."

Chuckling at the thought, Rukmell nodded,

"I remember when my girls were going through that. What seems to be the problem?"

"Well… there's a… boy here who I've known since Dremlick left Earth for good; when I sent him back two years ago, and we're very close."

"Go on."

"And he likes me and he wants to know how I feel but I always told him I never knew because I couldn't think like that."

"What changed?"

"This girl. When she came to meet the team today, Robin completely forgot everything and went right to introduce himself. He never does that."

"Ah," Rukmell nodded, "my eldest daughter went through the same thing. What you are feeling is this; even though you are not sure how you feel about him, you don't want anyone else to have him. This is a mild form of jealousy."

Angelee laughed,

"Oh I've experienced jealousy already today; first time in my life. And that only adds to the confusion; he has so many girls ogling him but it's never bothered me before. Why now?"

"It might be because of how close you two are. He is the only person you can fully trust; you might be afraid that if another girl enters his life, the bond you two share will be broken," he let Angelee ponder that, "Or it could be that you like him as well."

"I'm 12!"

"Which is the age, from what I understand, is the Earth age that feeling begins to manifest itself. Crushes and love." Not knowing what to make of this, Angelee thought to herself, "My suggestion to you Princess is this. Look deep inside your heart; discover what truly makes you happy with this boy. Are you happy because he understands your life; or are you happy because he is always there for you no matter what the issue is."

Confused, Angelee asked,

"What is the difference?"

"If you are happy with him understanding your life, then you what him as a friend. On the other hand, if you are happy with him being there for you, you want him as a companion."

"What if it's both?"

Smiling, Rukmell broke the news,

"If it is both, then it is love," Rukmell looked over shoulder, "I must go Princess. We will talk again soon."

"Of course. Please be careful." Rukmell disappeared and the candles went out. Doing the usual routine, Angelee placed the candles on the dresser and sat on the floor; her back against the bed. Thinking about what Rukmell said, she felt more confused than ever. How did she know what made her happy? She was always happy when Dick/Robin was around; he always made her feel that way. Wanting to figure it out but needing to focus on the upcoming trip to Trivoyian, she tried to take her mind off things for a while and decided to draw. She made an effort to draw at least once every day. And lately, the book had been filling up. But wanting to see what her heart was thinking, she stared at the pencil and page in front of her. A grin appeared on her face; she got the perfect idea, "Reveal what's true; reveal what's mine. Show what my heart fails to spew; make my feelings align!" The pencil began to glow red; her heart's feeling pouring through it. Closing her eyes, she let the pencil draw away from what was in her heart. She was hoping this would answer her question. Climbing into the bed, she quickly fell asleep.

~Team's POV at Belle Reve~

Talking to Professor Ivo in Belle Reve, the team was hoping Ivo would be able to tell them where to find T.O. Morrow,

"Alright Ivo," Conner was stern, "where do we find T.O. Morrow and his reds?"

"Now why in the world would I know how to find Morrow?"

Kid stated the obvious,

"Because, and here's a truly dumb idea, you're Morrow's biggest competitor in the evil android game. Who better to keep track of what he is up to and where."

Ivo smirked,

"Ah, I see your point. So let me rephrase; why in the world would I TELL you where to find Morrow?"

Aqualad stepped up-front,

"He knows," he looked at Miss Martian, "do what you must."

After shutting her eyes, Miss Martian's eyes were green. Ivo laughed,

"Please!" he folded his arms, "as if I've never faced a telepath before."

Zatanna leaned in close,

"Trulb tuo S'worrom eurt noitacol!" (Translation: Blurt out Morrow's true location!")

Ivo lost control of his mouth and blurted out,

"Morrow's in a secret underground base beneath YellowStone National Park 100meters south of Old Faithful." Everyone stood in shock; Robin peeking over the shoulders of the others with his eyes wide. They've never seen anything like that; not even from Black Crane. Standing in pride, Zatanna had her hands on her hips while Ivo covered his mouth with his hands, "What… what just happened?"

The team ran out of the room back to the bio-ship. After so many long weeks, they finally know where to find Red Tornado. It was time to make him pay for what he did to the Cave; for what his siblings did to the team when they attacked. They had no idea what waited for them; no idea that Morrow had created a new android that was stronger than the other three combined. Hopefully having Zatanna around would make things easier.

Alright, done and done. Next chapter is Part 2 and things start to shake up between Dick and Angelee even more. She keeps questioning herself about Dick and her feelings. And her drawing will only add to her confusion when she sees the finished product; not even she expected it. So I hope everyone continues to read; we're almost to Failsafe and I promise it's going to be good. Love you all!
