A/N: Hi! Sorry about the delay, you know how it is.

"So let me get this straight, since Braniac isn't in this timeline anymore, it will be easier to break into his mainframe and shut it down and while were in there we can grab your time machine to send me back." Wally nodded, although he had left out the small detail that if they destroyed Braniac's modem (which was his timeline anchor) he would cease to exist unless he built a new one in that time stream.

Wally silently prayed that wasn't the case.

Zatanna looked at Nightwing skeptically as he finished his story.

"So you're from the future and you're here to stop Braniac, so why do you need me?"

"We need you to open a communication line between now and the future, can you do that?" Nightwing asked.

"I can, but I will only be able to keep it up for about a minute so make it snappy" Nightwing nodded his thanks as she closed her eyes and began her spell.

"wolla su ot kaeps ot ruo raf dneirf" at once, a small window-like portal appeared with an image of Wally and a younger Robin in it who looked up from a computer with startled expressions.

Nightwing wasted no time in rushing in front of the portal and relaying his message.

"Wally, Braniac is in this time stream. I need you two to go destroy his anchor to that time; we'll keep him from setting one up here"

Wally recovered from his shock and ran over to the other side of the small portal.

"Got it, will you be ok? You know Zatanna won't like it if you come back in pieces" Nightwing gave a small smile and nodded.

"I'll be fine as long as you keep him safe" he said, nodding to the young Robin.

"Will do" Wally responded just as the portal closed.

Zatanna came out of her magical trance and immediately bent over and began to breathe heavily.

"You ok?" Nightwing asked as he knelt by her side, she slowly nodded and reminded his that she was just out of breath.

"What did Wally mean when he said Zatanna won't be happy? I thought you said everyone else was…" Megan asked, leaving the last part to everyone else's imagination.

Nightwing gave a sad smile before answering.

"Zatanna and I had gotten engaged a year before everything happened. She was one of the first ones to go, I'm just glad she didn't get to see how terrible the future had become" as he spoke, a small tear slid from under his sunglasses.

"But if I succeed here, everything will return to the way it was. The way it should have been" Zatanna stared wide-eyed for a moment before asking if telling her the future was a good idea or not.

"Once we destroy Braniac, I'll have no reason to come here, you guys won't remember a thing"

Just then, the zeta beam announced the arrival of the rest of the team.

"We should go meet them; we don't have a lot of time to waste if were going to save this future"

A/N: yes, I'm a total jerk. I should have updated sooner but I'm busy ok! I would really appreciate reviews!
