Happy Thanksgiving! I know lots of authors might update a story that's Thanksgiving related, but I have nothing themed related on my Docx at all! So yeah, I still hope that this story will keep you emotional. In this chapter, it'll show a great bond between the two of how they always have each others back. I've been wanting to do this chappie so enjoy!

We Have A History

chapter 15

2 Years Later

"Can you believe him Zee!" He was infuriated.

Robin had just barged in Zatanna's room. He had already wired the room so that a certain bat wouldn't hear and see what they were talking about. Robin has been angry ever since he went patrolling with Batman. It was easy and simple, but yet it went horribly wrong.

Zatanna tried to calm him down, "What happened? Just explain it to me."

Robin lays back on Zatanna's work chair as he puts his hair back from his face, "It's about Batman. He scared this kid's dad right in front of him. Batman was trying to get information from the dad. He just kept hurting the guy right in front of the kid. When I saw the little boy's face," he gulped, "I saw the memory of me when I was young." (You guys watch "Batman the Animated Series" right?)

Zatanna's face went down. She went to sit on his lap. He started to wrap his arms around her. She puts his head on the crevice of his neck, "Don't worry Dick. This is Bruce we're talking about. He was just probably trying to do his job."

"No, Zatanna. This is diferent, I've never seen Bruce like this. Ever."

They both looked at each other. Zatanna asks, "What are you going to do about it."

He shakes his head no, "I don't really know."

...

Zatanna couldn't get out of her bed today because it's been 2 years since her dad had left. Everyone knew that, that was the day that everyone is suppose to leave her alone. Zatanna was hugging a pillow; she didn't cry or get angry. She only had an emotionless face. Lots of memories and thoughts were filling her head. She wanted to cry, but she felt that she had to be strong. And she wanted to be angry, but to who? She already tried being angry to herself last year and it didn't work.

A few minutes past and the door knocked, "Hey Zee, it's me Robin. Can I come in?"

She swallowed her throat, "Yeah."

She was still staring at the wall, not even looking at Robin coming in the door. She just heard the door close and then his soft voice started to comfort her like he always does, "Do you need anything?"

Zatanna was still clutching her pillow and he looked at his shades, "Dick, you know what I want."

He sighed. He took off his shades uncovering his blue eyes. Richard had told her his secret identity a long time ago. And today Zatanna doesn't need a Robin who is always feeling the aster or the one telling everyone to stay whelmed, but the Dick Grayson who is also feeling the same sorrow as she is.

Dick laid down next to Zatanna on the bed. He hugged her while intertwining their legs together. The silence was there for a long time. They loved being in that position because sometimes the world just shuts off and it felt like there was only the two of them with no trouble what so ever.

"I just wish I said good bye." Zatanna finally said those words that she'd been always thinking of saying. She loved the silence, but she wanted something to talk about.

Dick was rubbing her hand from the pad of his thumb. He was thinking of just anything to make her happy in this gloomy day, "What if you could."

"No, we can't just go up to Dr. Fate and tell him that. And plus he's in an off planet mission today." Zatanna said.

Robin stood up, "I know that, but I know another way."

Zatanna stood up by her knees too, "How?"

He puts his shades back on and touches Zatanna's hand, "Just follow me."

She just nodded. Zatanna was very curios to what Robin was about to do. He ran outside the room dragging Zatanna by the arm. They both went to the kitchen to grab an empty wine bottle with a top on it. And got 2 pieces of paper and two pens.

Robin was still holding those items, "Come on."

Robin ran to the outside exit which leads to the beach. Zatanna tried to catch up to him, "Where are we going?"

"You'll see, come on." Robin kept on gesturing to Zatanna to hurry up.

They were already in the beach. He had stopped running and so did Zatanna. He held out a pen and paper and gave it to her. She was still confused, "What do I do with this?"

"You write with it."

She rolls her eyes, "I know you write with it, but what do I even write about?"

He puts down the bottle, "Well when I was little my mom and dad would bring me to a beach and we would write a letter to someone that we loved that we lost. We would always think that somehow and someway that they're going to read the letter. And when you're done with the letter, you give it to the sea. So, that's what we're going to do."

For the first time today, she smiled. She grabs the pen and pencil. Robin offered his back for her to write on while he writes on his knee. They took at least 10 minutes to finish their letter. They both took one last look at their message, and then they put it in the bottle.

Robin closes the bottle and then he gave it to Zatanna, "Here."

She slowly grabs it by her left hand as she holds his hand by her right. They went closer to the water. Zatanna throws the bottle to the water. Then they both watched as the bottle went back up to the surface and went through the currents.

He rubs her back, "Do you feel better now?"

Zatanna nods, "Yeah."

She really does feel better; when she wrote all those thoughtful and heartfelt words through the letter, she felt like she was talking to her dad again. She wrote down as much as she can about her life after he was gone. And Robin had wrote to his parents, too.

"Thanks Robin, but isn't Aqualad going to get mad at us that we just threw a bottle out in the ocean?"

He does his laugh, "Shhh, that's our little secret."

They both laughed. She knew that she was going to do this again.

...

Dick's anger was getting to him. He felt like punching every wall he saw. He didn't know where he was going at first, but then he remembered that he was going straight to Mount Justice. He didn't want to go back to the mansion.

It was less than a block, but he had already ran into her, Zatanna. He could see that there was worry in her eyes, "Dick, I heard about the fight. Are you okay?"

His hands were clutched tighter, "I'm fine."

Zatanna didn't buy it, "No you're not."

"Zatanna I just want to be alone."

She shakes her head no, "No you don't."

"Zatanna, I'm really angry right now and I don't want to hurt you."

She relents and then she started to grab his hand and pulled him into this restaurant. Dick asks, "What are you doing?"

"We're going to talk about this. About everything."

It took a long time for Zatanna to get a break through out of him. They were probably almost the last ones in the restaurant, but hearing his explanation was worth it.

Dick gulped, "Look, I just don't want to be in Batman's shadow anymore. Some how he changed. His methods grew darker and I'm just not like that. I want to be who I am. I want to do solo now, " he huffed, "I don't want to be Robin anymore."

"But people need a Robin. Your dad needs a Robin."

"They never needed a Robin, they needed a hero."

Zatanna touches his hand, "But you are a hero."

"I want to be a different one. I don't want to be the Batman."

"You're not going to be."

"How would you know that?"

She holds his hand tighter, "Because I know you more than anyone."

"Sorry Zee, but I just don't feel like being the Robin anymore."

She huffed, "Well who do you want to be."

He takes a pause and then says, "Nightwing."

So, yeah this has been in my head for a long time. My own interpretation of how Dick became Nightwing. (P.S. please no flames about it because I tried getting it out of my head to write it down)

And I've had that middle part story about the message in the bottle for about maybe 2 months now. It was suppose to be a longer one shot, but I just thought that it would be great in this story.

One more thing, The other reason that I wanted to update in Thanksgiving is because I really want to thank all of you! I'm so thankful of all those reviews that you have given me and I want to thank people who read my stories! And plus the people that I became friends with me in this site. I wouldn't be the writer who I am now, so thank you.

Review!
