We Have A History

chapter 9

Zatanna was making spaghetti. She was all alone in the cave because she got Conner to take M'gann out on a date today. She didn't like it how M'gann has been asking her a lot of how she's been doing with her dad. She didn't really need that right now. She didn't really like the awkwardness of the silence in the cave though, so she thought of calling someone. Her first thought was Artemis who was her best friend that she can have girl talk with a lot of times. Although she remembered that Artemis was probably already eating dinner with her mom and then sipping on tea right now. Zatanna has actually met Mrs. Crock and to her she seems nice.

She didn't know what to do. She got the spaghetti boiled all things ready to make the sauce until she heard the Zeta tube turn on.

Recognize Robin B01

Zatanna smirked because he always come at the perfect time. Instead of going straight to the kitchen he went to the living room couch to lay down with his laptop. He had an abrasive day today crime fighting with two face.

"Hey Robin." Zatanna greeted.

Robin smiled at her, "Hey Zatanna. Where's everyone else?"

"M'gann and Conner are out, and Wally, Artemis, and Kaldur are off crime fighting." Zatanna answered.

"Cool so it's just you and me in the cave." Robin nudged her by her elbow playfully.

She giggled, "Yeah I guess so."

She went back to the kitchen with her sauce. There was only silence except for the typing of the keys and the boiling coming from the stove. She kept on looking at him and smiling at him while stirring the sauce.

Robin knew that she was starring at him, but he only need to do these few modifications for the system for the cave and then all his attention is her. She huffed to herself of how bored she is. That huff really got Robin's attention because he would rather flirt with a certain magician that do some work that he could do later. He closed the laptop and went in the kitchen and then he said, "Your doing it wrong."

Zatanna was confused, "Huh?"

Robin smirked and went closer to her. He had his hand nested on her hand which was the hand that was stirring the sauce. He put his other hand on her hips and then he started to stir the pot of sauce with her.

Zatanna couldn't help it, but blush and giggle. Then Robin said, "Now do you get the difference."

Zatanna was still giggling, "I don't think so."

"Oh so I guess I need to show you some more." He chuckled.

She allowed him to. She was sort of sad when the sauce was all done. Although he did help her get the hot water separated with the noodles. After that they put their noodles and sauce together to make the delicious spaghetti. They went to the living room to eat it so that they could watch something on the T.V. Apparently there was nothing good on T.V. so they tried to pick a movie to watch.

Zatanna didn't really know what to watch. Robin thought about it and then snapped his fingers because of the good idea. He got out the old disk.

"Dumbo?" Zatanna questioned.

"Yeah it's my favorite movie." Just because he can't give out his secret identity that doesn't mean he can't leave hints.

"Mine too."

...

It was a Friday afternoon and Artemis was doing some kind of project for science. Zatanna came up to her because she was bored and she already finished her homework and project assignments.

"Hey Artemis, what'cha doin?" Zatanna asked.

"Working on a project for science." She answered.

"Oh cool." Zatanna was about to leave the room to go to the kitchen to get some food until Artemis had said something.

"Zatanna, you know that guy that was on the t.v. the other day, Dick Grayson, well we were partnered up and I'm mostly the one doing the work. He said that he was "too busy a lot"," She tried to imitate his voice.

Zatanna giggled.

"Although I've been to his house before and did a little part of the project together. And that place is big. And I mean gigantic."

Zatanna nodded, "I know. I think I almost got lost in there once. I think."

Artemis raised an eyebrow, "You've been there before?"

"Yup, I stayed there for a week when my dad was doing league business." Her voice got lower when she mentioned her dad.

"Oh right, that reminds me! When we were talking in his room I saw a picture of you two as little kids. I said that I knew you and he said hey and to ask you if you made squirrels do jumping jacks yet?" She asked the last part because she didn't know if that was actually right.

Zatanna giggled, "Tell him I'm still working on it."

...

M'gann was helping Zatanna go to the cave because Zatanna had apparently sprained her ankle. M'gann helped her on her right side since she had hurt her right ankle. She limped to the living room.

M'gann set her down on the couch. Zatanna sighed, "Well that's the last time I play soccer with the big girls."

M'gann's phone rang. It was just a reminder that she had to go to practice with the cheerleaders today, "Zatanna I'm so sorry. I totally forgot. I have to go cheerleading practice today, but I don't want to leave you."

"No it's okay Megan. I can handle myself." She insured her.

M'gann was hesitant, "I don't know."

Zatanna pulled out her phone, "Or I'll just call someone."

M'gann smiled, "I think Robin is free. Conner is still doing his make up test, Artemis is still doing her science project, Wally is somewhere, and I think Kaldure went out."

"Thanks." She looked at her watch, "Umm Megan you might not wan to be late."

M'gann hit her head playfully, "Hello Megan! Okay bye Zatanna."

She waved back at me so I waved bye back to her, "Bye."

She grabbed her phone that was in her pocket. She dialed his number as if she new it by heart. She preferred dialing better than using her contacts at times. The phone rang; then she heard his voice, "Hey Zatanna."

"Hey Robin, are you busy?"

"Not really. Why?" He asked.

"Well I sort of broke my ankle playing soccer today and everyone is sort of busy doing their own thing. I was hoping if you can help?"

"You're hurt? Playing soccer?"

She used her sarcastic voice, "Ha ha ha. You know superheros do get hurt."

Robin gave her his laugh, "I know."

"You know boy wonder, you have a weird laugh." She giggled.

Robin was smirking through the phone, "Yeah right. You like my laugh. It's okay you don't have to deny it."

Zatanna was laughing more. Then she felt her leg with emancipating pain, "Oowww!"

Robin stopped, "Wait I'll be right there."

He hung up. She just sighed.

...

Dick looked down at his history homework. He'll just get that done later. He puts on his shades and glasses. He went downstairs to go through the grandfather clock to go to the batcave because there was a zeta tube for him to go to. (I don't really know if there is a zeta tube in the batcave, but I just assume)

He went down the stairs, he thought Bruce was at work today, but he was wrong. The dark knight was inspecting some clues laid down on the table. He looked up when he noticed Robin.

Robin said nonchalantly, "I'm going to the cave."

Bruce said, "Are you going to see Zatanna again?"

"Yeah she broke her ankle. I'm just trying to help her." Robin wen to the zeta tube to lock in his coordinates to the cave. Then he entered in it.

Recognized Robin B01

When Zatanna heard his arrival she felt her smile getting wider. The first thing Robin did was go to the kitchen and grab an ice pack. He smiled at her when he saw her. Her ankle was already laid down on a pillow on the coffee table, so he gently placed the ice pack that had a sheet covering it and then he puts it on her ankle.

"Thanks." She said.

He sat next to her on the couch, "No problem."

There was some awkward silence between them for a few seconds until Zatanna said, "You know, I don't really know that much about you Robin. I can tell that you know me more than I know you, but I just thought it was a like a bat thing."

She laughed at the last part. He laughed with her, "Well what do you want to know about me?"

Zatanna shrugged, "Just the small stuff."

"Like how I like playing video games?" He asked her.

"Sure, that's one thing," Zatanna thought about it more, "Well what's your greatest childhood memory? And it's okay if you don't want to answer it. I totally get it, "secret"."

Robin cackled, "Not it's okay. I think the most memorable event in my life was when I became Robin. Although there was this other moment when I was hanging out with this pretty girl."

Robin gave a half smirk. Zatanna raised an eyebrow, "Are you trying to make me jealouse?"

"What no, no." He had his hands up signaling of his non guiltiness.

Zatanna started to giggle and so did he. Then Robin's watch started to beep. He stood up to go to Zatanna's ankle. Zatanna asked, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm just going to bandage your ankle up now." Robin got the ice pack off of her ankle.

Zatanna watched as he took the linen and wrapped it around her ankle. She saw how he was very gentle with her and stopped when she flinched. Sh stared dreamily at him, "How do you do it."

"Huh?" Robin looked back at her.

"You're always there and nice to me."

Robin was still confused, "And that's a bad thing?"

Zatanna shook her head, "No, it's just that...well it feels like...you've known me more. I don't really know."

Robin cackled again, "Well I guess that's just who I am."

"And that laugh is so familiar!" She pointed out.

He shrugged, "It's my signature laugh."

Zatanna said,"Okay, then I just have to face the fact that you're full of mysteries Robin."

He sighed, "Yeah."

"So umm, how hurt is my ankle?" She asked.

"It's not that bad, but I'm pretty sure you can't go to the mission in Bialya."

Zatanna huffed, "Oh."

Robin didn't now what else to say, so he just kept on wrapping her ankle carefully. When he was done he placed it firmly back on the pillow that was on the table. Then he sat back next to her.

"So what do you want to do?" She asked.

"I don't know."

For a short while she just stared into his shades seeing if she could at least see a little bit of his eyes, but with no avail. The next thing she knew he was inching closer and closer to her. They were both now looking down at their lips. Zatanna didn't know why, but there were tears dwelling up in her eyes because she's been wanting this moment to happen for a long time. (I don't know why I had put that, but literally my eyes are all emotional and stuff just writing this)

Their lips were only centimeters apart now, until he stopped. Robin gulped, he wanted to kiss her so badly. Zatanna slumped down her shoulders. She didn't know why he was stopping. She tried her hardest not to let the tears go down. They both sat back with awkward silence filling the room.

...

Bruce was sitting on his chair while he observed the two teens that were screened on the bat computer. Alfred was right behind him, "You know master Bruce as I told you before they really are close. And someday Master Dick will want to tell her. It's better for you to allow him to do that than hiding it from you or not telling you."

Alfred left the batcave to clean some room somewhere in the mansion. The dark knight went back to his solitude to think.

...

Recognized Robin B01

Robin had his head down. He quickly took off his shades. You could really tell the sorrow that was in his eyes. He didn't notice that Bruce was still in the cave until he said, "Dick we need to talk."

He sighed and went closer to his mentor, "I don't feel like talking right now."

Bruce knew he was tired of the whole day so he just went to the point, "I'm okay with it if you tell Zatanna your identity, but only Zatanna for now."

Dick's head shot up. Bruce continued, "But you still have to make your own decision on when you would tell her and if you want to tell her." He touched his ward's shoulder, "And remember this is your responsibility to take."

He nodded, "Thanks dad."

Okay I love all your great reviews and I'm glad that this story past 100 reviews!

Also I stopped studying history and science (LOL like Robin in the story) just so that I could finish this chapter for you guys! I hope I get to see more of your great reviews on what you think!

Review!
