Quillcox- I never said I wasn't sad. I am sad I killed off Dick. But this story was too nicey-nice. If you're wondering how I chose him to die, I wrote all of the names down on a piece of paper, put them in a hat, and picked one.


Zatanna got big, and Zatanna got big fast.

By the time she reached her 30th week, it was obvious to everyone that the 24-year-old magician was pregnant with two beautiful baby girls.

Zatanna loved talking about her daughters to the League & Team members, as well as the children.

However, she never mentioned their names.

"Zee? Why won't you tell us?" Raquel groaned.

"Because, it's a surprise!" Zatanna said, smirking.

Artemis rolled her eyes, drinking her soda.

"Whatever." The archer scoffed.


"Team. This, is Raven." Kaldur'Ahm said, four days later, as he, Batman, and Black Canary introduced the newest member.

The new girl was beyond pale, her skin almost gray in color. The rest of her was the only color the poor girl had.

Her outfit consisted of a leotard, a hooded cloak covering her arms that flowed down to her ankles, and a pair of ankle boots.

Her entire outfit was a dark, royal blue color.

Her hair, chopped into an even length just below her ears, was the same color as her outfit and her eyes.

The final thing the Team noticed about her, and what made them most curious, was the red diamond resting in the middle of her forehead.

Garfield, being the charismatic 17 year old that he was, was the first to great her.

"Hi! I'm Beast Boy! But you can call me Garfield. Or Gar. Doesn't matter." He said, a smile on his face.

"I'm Raven. You can call me Raven." She said.

"Cool. What's your hero name?" He asked.

"Raven. Why do you have a tail?"

Garfield turne around and looked at his appendage growing out his rear end.

"My sister gave me a blood transfusion when I was 8. Six months later I was green with a tail. Cool huh?"

"I take it your sister is the Martian female who's staring at us? You can't read my mind; I'm an empath & a mind reader myself." Raven told M'gann.

Everyone's eyes went wide, everyone except for Bart.

His eyes didn't show shock. They showed sadness.

And Artemis was the only one to notice.


Two weeks after Raven joined the team, Zatanna went into labor during the middle of a League and Team meeting.

"Ho nmad ti!" She cursed, standing up. She waddled to the medical bay, Artemis & Black Canary following her.


"Dog I tnaw kciD!" She sobbed, as she laid on her side, tears slipping out of her eyes as Artemis held her hand.

"I know Zee, I know you miss him. We all do." Artemis cooed softly, wiping away the magician's tears as she gave her a quick peck to the forehead.

"Zatanna, if you want, I can give you a Caesarian and make the pain go away."

"No. No surgery." She groaned.

"Why not? I had a c-section with Irey & Melissa. Everything turned out fine." Artemis said.

Suddenly, with speed only the Flashes could muster, Zatanna shot up and grasped Artemis's shirt between her two clenched fists.

"Our situations are not the same! Your kids aren't less then eighteen months apart! You didn't have a mother who died during an emergency c-section! And the Father of your son and daughters is not dead! Jai, Irey, & Melissa get to have Wally tuck them in at night- Johnny doesn't get to have that with Dick anymore! His sisters won't ever have that!" She screamed, face red with rage.

Suddenly, she gasped, letting go of Artemis's shirt and scooting back in the bed, her legs opening up sightly.

"Oh my God!" Dinah yelped, rushing towards the end of Zatanna's bed.

"What's wrong?" Artemis asked.

Ignoring the archer, Dinah picked up a tiny, pink, wailing little girl, before placing her in her mother's arms.

"Oh! Hi sweetheart. Hi Gia." Zatanna cooed, stroking her first born daughters thick black hair, as Dinah cut the umbilical cord & Artemis grabbed a blanket.


Giovanna "Gia" Sindella Grayson & Mary Elizabeth Grayson were born on December 1, 2021 at 12:04 am and 12:18 am respectively.

Both little girls weighted six pounds, four ounces, with Gia being 20 inches long and Mary being 21 1/2 inches long.

"They're beautiful Zatanna." Tim smiled, looking at his sleeping nieces.

"Thank you Tim." She said, as Babara handed Johnny to his mother.

"Gia looks just like Dick. But who does Mary look like?" Barbara asked, looking at the sleeping red head baby girl with amazement.

"Mary looks like Mary." Bruce said, smiling at his granddaughters on the outside, but frowning because their Father would never meet them on the inside.

"She does look a little like Dick's mom, doesn't she?" Zatanna smiled, kissing Johnny's head.


Bart entered Zatanna's recovery room while her and we daughters were all asleep.

He quietly walked over to the girls, focusing more on Giovanna then her younger sister.

"Giovanna Sindella Grayson..." He mumbled, stroking the little girl's tiny fist.

"Daughter of Richard John Grayson and Zatanna Sindella Zatara-Grayson. Sister of Jonathan Richard Grayson II and Mary Elizabeth Grayson. Mother of Tatiana Lynn Grayson and Neveah Hope Grayson." Bart said, stating to the sleeping 12-hour-old infant her immediate family members, two of which had yet to even be born.

"Wife of Klarion the Witch Boy." He sighed.


It took weeks before the rest of the Team was comfortable enough to talk to Raven. By that time her and Gar had become best of friends.

Bart never talked to Raven. She tried for awhile, since he and Gar seemed to be close, but he'd always make up some idiotic excuse and leave.

No one knew why; nobody asked and Bart wouldn't tell.

"Bart. What's wrong with Raven?" Artemis asked, entering the young speedsters room.

"N-nothing. It's just..." Bart sighed, sitting on his bed and looking at the floor.

"Bartholomew I-don't-know-your-middle-name Allen. Talk to me."

"Bartholomew Wallace Allen-West. I was named after Grandpa and Wally, and when Jai took me in, I added their last name." Bart sighed.

"Your full, legal name, is Bartholomew Wallace Allen-West?" Artemis asked.

"Yep."

"I'm so sorry."

"Tell me about it." Bart shrugged.

"Now back to the original topic; why don't you want to say anything to Raven?" Artemis demanded softly.

"Because... When I look at her, all I see is Janelle... And I miss her so much." Bart mumbled.

Artemis gasped, figuring out what was wrong.

Janelle was Bart's girlfriend.

And Raven was her Mother.


-Two major shockers this chapter. Hope it makes up for my absence ;)-

Oh damn it!

God I want Dick!
