Info: As mentioned before I am going to update far more often, this story is nearing completion, or maybe not, I haven't decided yet. Went over this chapter several times, ensuring minimal mistakes, but not all mistakes have been eradicated.


Taken

The Superboy was sitting on the sand, massaging his head, lately he had been getting headaches, feeling woozy, and it was like someone, something was trying to reach into his skull. He would often hear voices in his head; the voice would say something like, "You're not worthy for Zatanna! Clones can't love!

Connor came to question himself, when around Zatanna, Connor felt more alive, felt human, felt loved. But he wondered if the voice was right, if clones were incapable of loving, or if he really wasn't worthy if Zatanna's love.

Connor heard the girl humming happily, he raised his head, continued watching her, and for a split second, he understood, understood that he would do anything for her, lay down his life for her, he was hers to control.

Her hands reached up over her head, her fingers squeezed the water from her shiny ebony hair. He watched as the drops slid down her smooth white skin, dripping down under the tie of her black bikini top, down her back and into her bottoms.

Connor felt a weird, yet desirable sensation, "Was this what it felt like to be truly human?'

Noticing that the Superboy was eyeing her, Zatanna turned her head to the side, her heaven like, sky blue eyes staring directly into his strong Kryptonian eyes.

The magician girl happily ran into Connor, knocking him to the sand, her lips locked into his, they were as wet as her body, the two rolled in the sand together, their laughs echoing the beachside.

"No!" Connor picked up Zatanna in a bridal fashion, walking towards the water; she kicked, screamed and giggled all the way.

"Put me down, right this instance Connor!"

He continued to carry her, "Trust me Zee; you don't want me to do that, okay?"

"Come on Con, put me down!" she continued giggling, feeling the urge to use some of her magic on him.

"Very poor choice of words", Connor dropped Zatanna into the shallow water, giving a devious chuckle.

"Oh, you did not just do that, your gonna pay for that Con", she raised her hand in the air and also gave a chuckle which matched Connor's, "Retaw teg Ronnoc."

The two engaged in a friendly water fight, laughing and exchanging taunts. Upon finishing, Connor lifted Zatanna in the air, giving a kiss to her neck, which later moved to her lips.

Connor indistinctly whispered something into Zatanna's ear, "Italians."

She gave a fake gasp and friendly slap to his cheek, "What do you mean by that, huh?"

He pulled her closer to himself, "Well you know, rash, fiery, tough, maybe kind of annoying, but...smart and incredibly, how would you say it, sexy."

Zatanna raised one of her eyebrows in interest, "Mmm, ditto, Kryptonians are also all of the above, hey maybe that's why the two of us are perfect for each other."

Zatanna suddenly remembered something, "You know where we should go next holidays'?"

Connor rubbed his chin, "Let me guess, Italy?"

"Nah, Kryptonia, of course Italy or rather, Italia, how my father used to say it", Zatanna's face already saddened at the mention of her father.

Connor grabbed Zatanna from the waist and started tickling the extremely ticklish magician. She erupted into laughter, she tried getting him to stop, but her hands started trembling, the tears of laughter started running down her face, "Connor! Come on! Stop it!"

Zatanna tried to tickle Connor, but he proved far more resistant, "Oh, no fair!"

"Come on, the guys are probably waiting for us"

Zatanna gave Connor her puppy dog eyes, "Aw, come on, I'm sure they can wait another ten minutes,"

Back in the Cave, the team gathered together to greet a new temporary member into the team. Batman was the introducer, "Welcome the new temporary member of the team, Wondergirl, Wonder Woman's protégé."

The athletic, yet attractive blonde haired girl stood beside Batman, her hands placed on her hips. All she gave was a nod to the team.

Nightwing was the first to greet Wondergirl, as he usually would; he handed out his hand for a formal handshake greeting, "Great to have another superhero on the team, especially Wonder Woman's protégé."

The Wondergirl put her hand out, tightly squeezing Nightwing's hand, even though he knew she would be strong, his hands felt numb after the handshake.

The entire team turned their heads as they noticed two figures entering the cave, both Zatanna and Connor appeared on scene, laughing with one another and holding hands.

"Hey guys, what's up?"

All of the guys in the room couldn't help but stare and drool at the ebony haired magician, especially now that she was wearing her bikini. Miss Martian and Nightwing both gave slight jealous looks towards the duo.

Blue Beetle leaned down to Robin, quietly whispering, "Man, how does he get all the ladies?"

Connor gave a grin and chuckle, reminding his teammates who he was, "Courtesy of Superman, remember?"

"Of course, Kryptonian, duh."

While the guys were too busy drooling over Zatanna, Wondergirl feasted her eyes on the Superboy, "Well, looks this team just got a whole lot better."

Before they could greet their new teammate, Connor growled angrily, squeezing the sides of his head, screaming in anger as well as agony, "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"

Zatanna quickly placed her hands on Connor's face, chanting magic to soothe his inner anger, her touch managed to calm down him down, but his anger remained intact, "mlac nwod ronnoc"

Connor came back to his senses, firmly placing his hand over Zatanna's, her worried look pierced his insides, her eyes did all the talking, his knew her eyes were saying, "What's wrong? Are you okay? I'm scared."

Connor gave an assuring smile, leaving the team scratching their heads, "I'm going out." Wolf raised his head as his master walked by, Connor scratched his dogs head, "Stay here wolf, I won't be long."

The Superboy dressed himself before leaving Mount Justice, the entire team fell quiet, and they knew their teammate was hiding something important. Zatanna turned her head to Nightwing, her worried look got him worried as well, he knew all too well what she was thinking though.

Nightwing turned to Zatanna, and gave small, assuring chuckle, "Zee, tell me your thinking what I'm thinking?"

Connor walked down the street, and into the park, his headache was still there, his screeching, annoying headache, "So this is the place he told me to meet him."

Connor hated lying to Zatanna, hated lying to anyone as a matter of fact, but the voice ensured he came alone, "Come alone or the one you care for the most will get hurt!"

Connor's initial thoughts were to pounce on this guy and give him a good beating, but he went for reasoning instead, find out who he was and what he wants, then give him a good beating.

The sound of applause appeared and the evil magician appeared behind Connor, giving an evil chuckle, "You!"

"Me", he continued chuckling before suddenly stopping, "Didn't I tell you to come alone?"

Zatanna chucked a spell at Klarion, but with ease, deflected back at Nightwing and Zatanna, Nightwing fell to the ground, knocked out cold. Connor rushed at Klarion, but the screeching noise in his head prevented him from getting in closer.

Connor fell to the ground, screaming in pain, the pain which he had never felt before in his life, until now.

Zatanna urged Klarion to stop what he was doing, "Stop it!"

Klarion couldn't help but keep laughing, "Oh, what's wrong? Is it because you lost daddy? Because now you are going to lose your dear boyfriend."

"Don't you dare talk about my father; you have no idea who he was." Zatanna was getting annoyed with Klarion, but upon seeing the fallen Superboy her anger almost immediately vanished.

"I'll do anything you want, just leave Connor and Nightwing alone."

"Good girl", Klarion gave an evil grin, gripping Zatanna's arm, a flash of light appeared, and in an instant the two magicians disappeared.

Both Nightwing and Superboy got up desperately, trying to get themselves into the blast, but they were too late, Zatanna and Klarion dispersed into the air.

Connor struggled with his feelings, in anger he repeatedly punched the nearby wall, before falling to his knees, cursing his failure to protect the one person that counted on him, "THIS MY FAULT!"

Nightwing placed his hand on Connor's arm, keeping him calm, "We'll find Zee, I promise you, we need the team to help us."

The Superboy stood up, giving a sigh, "He is going to be in a world of pain if he touches Zee."


Will update more in the coming days, hopefully I didn't have a lot of mistakes. I want to continue with this story, but I think it would be far wiser to fix up the earlier chapters. Won't take too long in my opinion.
