A/N How are you guys soooo perfect? The reviews are lovely and make me feel all fuzzy inside :) I'm sorry for the hiatus. Spring break and then I got sick. I'm home from school (still sick) so I decided to write. Enjoy.

"Seshat?" I asked again.

"You already stated your disbelief, dear. Close your mouth, you'll catch flies." She smirked.

I did. "I-I didn't know you would come back."

Her smirk softened into a small smile. "But you wanted me too."

I nodded, then ran to hug her. "I missed you. I'd cry right now and push it off like my eyes were sweating but I can't."

"I know, you're dead." She sighed.

I looked up at her. "So why are you here? Why do you care?"

"You have to understand, that to us gods, your mortal lives are so small. They are almost insignificant in the grand scheme of things. So yours ending early didn't seem like a big deal to most of us. Except for me. I knew you, you didn't deserve to die like that. You didn't even have to, but you did, and now you're paying the price for your good deed." She sighed again. "It's not fair Zarainia. So, I guess I just came here to see if I could help you."

"Thank you. I know we never did anything but argue, but you grew on me. Like a poisonous mold, but you grew on me nonetheless." I smirked, reflexively wiping my eyes.

"Back to the witty insults? Alright, I feel much the same way about you." She matched my smirk.

"So can you possess my body anymore?" I asked.

She nodded. "I sort of just used your body like a vessel, this reanimated body shouldn't be any different. But do you want me to?"

"You really want to be imprisoned in a dead girl's body? My thoughts haven't been so great lately. It's like my whole life turned into a ball of angst." I said.

"It wasn't before?" She joked.

I laughed. "Come on in."

She handed me a pendant with a seven pointed emblem on it, I slipped it over my head and the woman with the raven hair in the wispy cheetah print shirt disappeared from my vision.

Hello?

Head sweet head.

Lovely. Have you figured out how to make me into an animal yet?

We've been through this! I don't have an animal associated with me, I am one of the oldest goddesses in existence!

Yeah, yeah, I've heard the spiel. So, I don't know if you can feel what I feel, but it might seem a little whack right now.

How whack?

Really, seriously whack.

By this time I was almost back to the cave, and almost wishing I'd stolen Robin's bike. I pulled at a loose thread on the clothes that M'gann had made me buy all that time ago.

I won't grow. This is crazy, I really have no idea how to cope. I haven't even thought about all the implications of being dead.

Calm down.

Why? It's not like I'll faint or puke! I'm dead! And cold!

Yeah, you're life is a big ball of angst, but you really need a different perspective. You won't feel pain, you can do a lot more. You don't have to breathe, so you could pretty much run forever and as fast as your body would physically let you. You're immortal, so you can do everything.

Those are great and all, but do they outweigh the losses?

It's your call on that one.

Because we know I'm great at making decisions. That's what led to this.

I see your point.

I brushed back the bushes that blocked the area outside the garage, inspecting my hands for the cuts I knew were there, the ones Zatanna would have to command to heal later. My shirt snagged on the bush and I pulled it free, leaving more loose threads for me to pick at later.

"Hey! You're back!" Wally exclaimed from the mouth of the garage.

"Why wouldn't I be?" I questioned.

He shrugged. "I was just a little worried after how you left."

"I'm fine." I assured him. "And look! I got Seshat back!" I pointed to the pendant on my neck.

He raised an eyebrow.

"She was sort of stored in this pendant and I put it on and now I'm her vessel." I explained.

"Oh." He nodded. "Well, M'gann just made lunch-"

I cringed.

"I promise, she got much better." He smiled. "So everyone is in the kitchen if you'd like to join them."

"Why are you not there?" I asked.

He smiled. "I was worried. I guess they all just think you're strong enough."

"And you don't?" I asked.

"No, I don't, and I want to be here if you need me. We're all a family, this team." He said.

I hugged him. "Thanks, Wally. You guys are the best family I've had in a long time."

"No problem, anything for my little sister." He smirked.

I gave him a fake glare. "I'm not that much younger than you!"

"Two years." He smirked. "That's a lot."

I rolled my eyes. "Sorry, I forgot with all your immaturity. It makes you seem younger. But so does your lack of facial hair."

"Ooh, that's cold. You don't insult a guy's manliness. Besides, I shave!" He exclaimed.

I laughed. "So do I, but that doesn't make me a lady."

"I think you just insulted yourself." He grinned.

"Yeah, it happens. Actually, since I'm, y'know, dead, I don't have to shave. Haha! Take that womanhood!" I cried, walking into the kitchen.

Robin swiveled his chair around. "Excuse me?"

"I'm dead, therefore, I don't have to shave, mother nature can just suck on that." I grinned.

Artemis nodded slowly. "Being dead might actually be worth it."

"Nah," I shook my head. "No food." I looked longingly at their BLT's and plates piled high with chips.

"Not worth it." Artemis took a bite out of her sandwich.

Kaldur's eyes widened. "So, how was your walk."

"Oh, it was good, I got Seshat back." I held up the pendant so everyone could see. "She was in the pendant if any of you were wondering."

"So, since you're back, I think we should get you your own bike." Robin said carefully.

I shook my head. "No, I like yours. it's so nice and shiny and red."

"Can you just get your own?" He whined.

I laughed. "Haha, nope. Your bike is my hostage."

"We could get you a red bike." Kaldur said, confused with why I was so enamoured with Rob's bike.

"That's not the point. The point is seeing his face when I say, 'I'm taking your bike out for a ride.'" I grinned.

Robin glared. "So you like to torture me?"

"When has this ever been in question?" I asked.

He shook his head. "You like to torture little boys?"

"We're the same age, genius." I rolled my eyes. "The little one excuse doesn't work with me."

"Fine, torturing me conversation is over." He shook his head, defeated.

"I win!" I cried.

Rob shook his head. "Conversations are not sports games Zarainia."

"Yeah. How am I supposed to interact normally at a party? You guys put up with my insanity." I wondered aloud.

"You'll be fine." Artemis waved off my troubles. "Trust me, you're pretty enough to be a total freak."

"I think that was a compliment, so thank you very much." I grinned.

~A few hours later~

"So this doesn't count as girl's night out, right?" I asked.

"No, we're shopping now. Girl's night out will be spent do crazy things." Zatanna assured me.

"Why are we shopping again?" Artemis asked.

I sighed. "Because M'gann is a shopaholic who really enjoys girly things and Zatanna is a flirt who can convince Dick to give us money and we don't even need that because everyone on the Team likes to torture you."

"Why again do you guys all hate me?" Artemis groaned.

I shook my head. "We love you, but your reactions are the funniest."

"So how are we supposed to dress?" Zatanna asked.

"Well, it's warm out, but the nights in Gotham can be colder so grab a sweatshirt or a jacket, also, it's the woods. Stilettos are unadvised. Unless you're M'gann, who can float." Artemis said.

"It's a rave though, so we shouldn't be too fancy, right?" I asked. "My party etiquette is pretty much from ancient egypt."

"They had parties in Ancient Egypt?" M'gann questioned.

I nodded. "Usually just rich people though. A lot of poisoning went on in those. Really, whenever drama broke out it was usually because someone was murdered for being a whore or something."

"Harsh." Artemis said. "But effective."

So our mall trip went on with banter and jokes and us trying not to blow our cover and trying not to complain when M'gann wanted to try on everything, and trying to keep Artemis from wandering off into the hunting shops. Finally, we somehow managed to make it out of the mall with all of us satisfied, or in Artemis' case, indifferent, and headed back to the cave.

"Your girlfriend is whack." Artemis grumbled to Connor.

He raised an eyebrow.

"She tried on pretty much everything." I explained. "And shoved Artemis into it all too."

"Ah." He said, a clone of few words.

"I wish I was a dude. you guys have to put in no effort at all." I complained, plopping down on the couch next to Robin and Wally, who were currently competing for a high score in Mario Kart.

"I have to make sure my shirt doesn't clash with my hair!" Wally protested.

I rolled my eyes. "The woes of being Wally West, how ever do you manage?"

"I just have to deal with it." He sighed dramatically.

Robin stood up abruptly and whooped. "I beat you!"

"It's only because you're used to riding in your mentor's tricked out car." Wally grumbled.

"I still won." Rob smirked.

"Alright, since we have to be in Gotham in two hours, everyone get ready!" M'gann ordered. "And don't fight over showers, there are at least twenty bathrooms."

"Aye aye, Captain!" I cried, saluting her.

A/N Yes, I do know the meaning of update. I just surprisingly have a life outside of the internet! :O Who would have thought? (Yeah, reviewer, I'm looking at you :P)

Questions!

Do you all hate shaving as much as I do? I just think it'd be a perk of being dead.

Should Zarainia and Wally form a bromance? I just want to add pranks in here.

Too much angst? Sorry, she is dead. I'm going to entitle her to hissy fits. *shrug*

SESHAT IS BACK! Are you happy now? :)

It sucks not being able to eat when you're dead, do ya'll think that's the biggest drawback?
