It was Zatanna's first night at the mountain and her emotions are still flooding over her that night. She couldn't find an escape to the never ending pain and loneliness which has been drowning her since her dad gave himself to Dr. Fate. Of course she wanted to be strong as her dad would want her to be in this situation but she just couldn't. The mountain was huge making her feel more empty. She just wants her dad to hug her and bring her a nice warm drink while cracking a joke or teaching her a new spell. Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a knock.

"Hey Zee! It's me Rob. Got a minute?"

The young magician wanted her team mate to go away that time but she just couldn't resist the young hero waiting outside.
"I want to be alone but I feel so alone. Pull it together Zee" she kept telling herself as she made her way to the door.
She opened the tall steel door and suddenly the ice cold room was broken by a warm smile from the Boy Wonder himself. He was carrying with him a mug with hot chocolate which really smelled good and a saucer with some smiley shaped cookies on them.
"Figured you're hungry…I made these myself" said Robin handling her the mug with hot choco and the cookies.
"You know how to bake?" she remarked.
"No, I was referring to the choco" said Robin with a smile.

She has to admit that made her chuckle a little. There was never a moment when Robin's joke would die on her. She loves his humor and they kind of have the same. They both like to play pranks and play with words which led her to realize that among her team mates, Rob's really the one whom she's most comfortable with.

"But I asked Agent A to make them. They're the best cookies in the universe even Superman forgot his name!" Robin proudly says ending with his signature laugh.
Zatanna took one and ate it. The Boy Wonder was right! It was perfect. Chewy and chocolaty. The flavour just bursts in your mouth. She picked another one and another one and another one. She really is upset and no one would tell her to limit her sugar intake now that her dad's not around. Well, it helps perhaps that sweets are her comfort food and all but it doesn't matter now because the cookies Robin have are just heaven.

"Woah, you can try chewing Zee! It works" warned the lad beside her. She swore she can see his eyes already wide in amusement though she hadn't really seen them or knew how they look. But knowing that perfection is not far from Robin then maybe they're nothing compared to the dark glasses hiding them.

"What? Zee? Were you talking to me?" she said jokingly.

And they both laughed and had a good time. She was thankful enough for someone to be around with her. At least she, even for a short span of time, forgot about the grief.

"Told you you'll forget your name" said Robin.

"But I didn't forget to thank you...thank you, Robby." She replied.

"Well, If you need help with unpacking your stuff, I'll be in the kitchen. Heard M'gann's gonna cook something special and wouldn't wanna miss Wally's face when he tries it." He babbled while walking his way to the door.

"And Zee" Robin stopped as he passed the door and looked back at her, "it's ok to cry. It helps" he added disappearing as he always does whenever the team is together, mission or not.

With that tears began dropping from her eyes. She went straight to her bed and noticed something placed in the bed side table. It was a note which read "Your dad's proud of you and so are we" with a familiar looking R at the bottom.
She might be crying again but at least now she's smiling.

=====================
The team was called for briefing at the conference hall. She saw each member making their way to gather as Red Tornado was standing beside the Dark Knight. Everyone passed by her room and M'gann grabbed her excitingly saying "Ooooh! This is gonna be our first mission together! I'm so excited to have another sister around!"

Artemis heard this and replied: "yeah, it's really not coming handy having more lame boys than us!" then went to the conference room also.
She saw the boys already standing beside each other while waiting for them.

"Great! Zatanna's going with us! How ya doing babe?" said Wally.

Artemis elbowed him and said "Shut up, Baywatch!"

Zatanna now felt more relieved as she went with the team in their bioship.
