A/N: Okay, I know I said I'd update when I'd get five reviews per chapter, but I think I'll just leave it.

This story really needs to get out of my head and onto the computer before I lose it.

Anyway, I know few of you want to see Damian/Lian; the only problem is the age. If we're going with the original YJ storyline, then by this time, Lian would be at least 16 or 17. So, should I make this an AU where Lian was born around the time Damian was?

Judging by your views, I'll add Lian, Roy and Jade in the next chapter.

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own YJ.


Chapter 3


She's sitting at the table beside Maria as the girl colors in a drawing which she did. Out of the corner of her eye, she notices Dick in the kitchen, talking on the phone. She can only catch a few hushed whispers of the conversation. She could always overhear the conversation using a spell, but she trusts her husband to tell her once he's done. He sounds a bit excited, so it must be important. She didn't hear him this happy since Zaina and Jason gave their first performance with a song their baby girl had written herself.

She hears a click and knows that Dick's finished his conversation. She turns her concentration back to Maria, telling the girl to color inside the lines. He comes out, a relaxed smile on his face.

"So, what was it?" she asks.

"I just want to wait till the kids come back." He replies as Maria smiles. He bends down and kisses his daughter's cheek and looks down to see the drawing. She can see the joy in his eyes that at least one of his daughters hasn't grown up yet. She knows that he was almost devastated when Zaina reached her fourteenth birthday. She thinks that even she was, a bit. She doesn't know how Dick would take it if Maria grew up. AT least he'll take it better than Wally will.

He stands up and moves over to her, pushing his hand over the small of her back. "So, no hints?" she asks as he quickly presses a tiny kiss to her lips, making Maria giggle. "Nope." He says, pulling himself to his feet and walking to the fridge.

At that moment, the door opens and Zaina and Jason walk inside. They're in the middle of a heated conversation that they probably didn't even realize that they were inside.

"Are you serious?" Zaina asks. "That can never happen!"

"All I'm saying is, why do they call it a 'cover' when it's done by a different artist?" They should call it a 'song by a…different…artist'…or something like that." He stutters.

"You're hopeless." She shakes her head at him.

Zatanna and Dick burst into laughter at their conversation. She still can't believe that they were fighting over something like that. But what can she expect from two teenagers? Even when they were younger, they'd have these huge intense debates about things that didn't even really matter. They suddenly jerk as if they only just realized that they were inside the house.

"Oh, hey, Mom." She says, awkwardly.

Zatanna opens her mouth to tell her that she could just call her "Zee", but she always was hard-headed. Zatanna knows just where she got that from. "So, what were you two kids doing?"

"We were just working on a new track." Jason answers before she can.

"Anyway," Dick cuts in, "You remember I was going to talk to you both about something?"

"Yeah?" Zatanna almost laughs at the way both teenagers say the word at the same time.

"Well, I was on the phone with Grandpa Bruce and you know that you both have nothing to do this summer?"

"That's right." Jason nods.

"Well, how would you two like to go to his country club?" Dick asks, surprising the heck out of her. Judging by the looks on their faces, Zaina and Jason were as surprised as her. "So?"

"Grandpa Bruce has a country club?" Zaina asks.


"So, what did you want to talk about?" Jason asks, pulling himself into a chair.

"Nothing much." Zaina says.

The two friends were at their favorite hangout, a donut shop two blocks away her house. They hung out here a lot since it was the nearest place to hang out and her father approved of it. He had told them that since they were only ten, they "weren't ready" to go to the park alone. So, for the past three years, this had become their staple hangout place away from home. Plus, the store made some of the most delicious donuts either of them had ever tasted.

So, it was logical that they'd pick this place.

Zaina has her legs crossed and is silently tapping on the table. Jason begins explaining about how his mom was crankier than usual today. She only catches a few words of what he says, but she thinks she hears "fed up" and "double trouble". Her mind is in a different place, and she's more nervous than usual. She hardly got nervous, but just thinking of what was about to happen made her palms feel sweaty. Jason looks to her to get her opinion on something, when he stops as he sees just how uncomfortable she is. He narrows his eyes.

"You okay?" he asks.

She nods. "I'm totally fine." She says a bit too hastily for his taste.

"Really?" he asks. "I haven't seen you this nervous."

She gives him a look that was final. He draws away, knowing that she wouldn't tell him what was on her mind. They might be best friends, but ever since she witnessed him and Kim fight, she was a bit uncomfortable around them, even when they were alone. He thinks it's just because she had wanted them both to get along. He feels bad for ruining her expectations, but there's just something he can't stand about Kim. He knows at first, he was jealous that she had a new best friend, but he never knew from where he started hating the blond girl. He doesn't mean to hurl insults (kid insults) whenever he saw her, there was just something about Kim that rubbed him the wrong way.

"Hey Zen, I came as fast as I could…"

He looks up to see Kim running up to them. He gets up, giving her a suspicious look. She stops when she reaches their table, giving him a surprised look. But he can't be sure she's more surprised than he is. Zen had told him that it was just…

"What are you doing here?" he and Kim ask each other, ice in their voices. He's about to ask Zaina what on earth is going on when everything just snaps into place. He feels stupid for not realizing it sooner. She's been dropping hints for months, but he just never looked into it. Maybe because he was busy hating Kim like anything.

"You set this up, didn't you?" he turns to the black-haired girl sitting down. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I knew you'd say no." she says.

"Yeah, we would've." Kim says. "If I knew we were going to be with him."

"Same here. If I knew we'd have to be with her." He practically shoots daggers into her face.

"Oh no, you don't." She steps forward, ready to punch him when Zaina gets up. "Hold up, you two." She says. He's still glaring at Kim as he feels Zaina's hand on his chest, pushing him to increase the distance between the two blonds.

"This is exactly the reason why I got you two here." Zaina says. "The two of you have been out to get each other since you both met two years ago."

"Well, she started it." He protests.

"I did not!"

"Did to!"

"ENOUGH!" She yells.

Both him and Kim step back. He's pretty surprised as he's known her for a long time yet he's never heard her sound this angry before. She isn't loud, yet her words have a hidden loudness underneath. He figures that she learnt it from her grandfather. Seriously, he could say something angry in a very calm manner yet still retain its meaning. The intensity in her voice makes him scared. To a normal person, it may just sound like she's talking angrily. But to them, she just said almost a hundred words.

"Both of you need to stop this." She says. "You both have much more in common than you think."

"In common?" he asks. "We have nothing in common."

"For once, he's right." Kim agrees. Then, they both look at each other, surprised that they agreed on something.

"You see?" Zaina asks. "You can get along. You just don't want to."

"We agreed on one thing." Jason points out. "That doesn't say anything."

"It does." She says. "And to name a few things you have in common: you both love socializing, you both love pancakes and you both share a huge love for music."

He tries looking anywhere but at her. He can feel the urge to resist, but then he realizes that every word she said is right. He and Kim do have a lot in common, they just didn't realize it. Looking back, he feels ashamed about the grudge he held against her. Zaina had only wanted to do things as a trio, with both her best friends. But, because of their big-headedness, they had forced her into choosing a side. They had forced her into doing things she didn't want to.

God, he's making himself feel worse.

"You know what? I give up!" Zaina says. "I was only trying to bring my two best friends together, but it looks like I never will. Can't believe I thought you two could get along." With that, she moves out of the chair and walks out of the door, leaving Kim and Jason at the table, staring after her with shame in their eyes.

"So…"Kim says, shyly. "Looks like it's just you and me."

He nods, swallowing the lump in his throat. "You know, what she said was right." She nods. "We were acting pretty stupid, weren't we?" They both sink down into their chairs. "She only had the best intentions." He says. "She always has."

"God, we are the worst best friends ever." Kim runs a hand through her hair.

An idea comes to him at the moment. "You know what we have to do?" he says. "We need to make it up to her."

"But how?" she asks.

"Don't worry." He says. "I have just the thing."


"Grandpa Bruce has a country club?"

Dick sighs. This wasn't going how he imagined it. The kids seem to be stunned by the fact that Bruce had a country club, of all things in Palo Alto. "Yes, he has a country club." He says.

"I'm sorry, but a country club?" Jason says. "He just doesn't seem like the guy…"

"…to own a country club." Dick finishes. "I know. He also didn't seem like the guy to get married."

"But, he's married to Grandma Selina." Zaina finishes. Dick nods.

"He doesn't seem like the guy for a lot of things." He tells the boy.

"So, what's the news?" his eldest daughter asks, folding her arms over her chest.

"Is it good?" Jason asks.

"Depends on how you see it."


A/N: Hope you liked this chapter guys. And also, I forgot.

I'm not able to do anything since Young Justice doesn't even air where I live(I was introduced to it via the internet). But you guys can. Spread the awareness so that we can get a third season of Young Justice. Petitions, tributes, anything can help. That's all I know, anyway.

That's all I wanted to say.

Please review.
