Chapter Three

"Hello ladies!" Klarion shouted, jumping out of his portal with a sadistic grin placed on his face. "I've been dying for a reunion, baby magician."

Zatanna watched as the Lord of Chaos jumped out of his portal and walked towards her. He looked just as evil as she remembered him. His familiar glared at her with menacing eyes. She casually rested a hand on her hips and smirked.
"So... Are you still intending to make me your anchor?"
Klarion frowned instantly. His eyes drifted towards the red haired girl, who was untying her ropes and then back at the magician. Teekl hissed when she noticed the other girl was standing by Zatanna.
"You've got yourself a fan boy, I presume." She said.
"Yeah... Long story short: He's trying to capture me." Zatanna whispered back.
"Okay... Time for us to have a little fun then." Barbara grinned.
Zatanna was about to say something in return to her sudden kindness but she felt something sting badly. She fell to her knees with the sudden pain, hissing and clutching her side. She quickly saw the blood squirting out and looked up at the red haired girl, who didn't seem the slight bit concerned.
"Do what you wish with this one. I couldn't care less." She said, walking away from the pair.

Klarion wasn't stupid. He grinned at the literal backstabbing that had just happened in front of him but he still wasn't stupid. He was after all in enemy land and the red head, even though had shown her true feelings towards the magician, was still the enemy.
"Do you really expect me to let you go just like that?" He grinned, shooting his chaos magic towards her.
Zatanna formed a shield around Barbara before the magic could hit. She had successfully finished healing herself and got ready for a fight.
"You're lucky I was nice enough to save your sorry ass, Barbara. But you try hurting me again and I'll personally make sure that you accidently fall into a bottomless pit." She spat, glaring towards the red head.
Barbara groaned and ran towards Klarion, punching and kicking. She was slightly torn between feeling grateful and angry towards the magician. Meanwhile, Zatanna placed her hands up and began muttering countless spells. 'M'gaan, can you hear me? We could use some assistance.' Zatanna shouted into her mind, hoping the Martian would somehow overhear.
"Any bright ideas?" Barbara asked, panting heavily.
"Nothing in particular. Just slow him down until the others get here and-"
"What makes you think I'd allow that baby magician?" Klarion smirked and pointed towards the cave.
It was covered by one of Klarion's shields, making it impossible to get in or out. Zatanna assumed the zeta tubes wouldn't work at all.
"Great... So the two of us are stuck here with this mad bastard." Barbara mumbled.
"You have a pretty foul mouth, don't you?" Zatanna smirked.
"Whatever. This doesn't mean I like you."
"Not like I care." The smirk still hadn't faded, which only made Barbara groan.
"Enough chit chat, right? Teekl..."
The cat grew into a huge feline and attacked the red head with ease. Zatanna and Klarion engaged in a basic and slightly powerful fight.

Dick banged on the window non-stop. He wasn't one to show his emotions so clearly and yet, here he was... Banging on the window hoping it would suddenly break and he'd be free, almost in tears and screaming Zatanna's name as if his life depended on it. To say the others were shocked would be an understatement.
"Dude... Calm down. M'gaan's working on some way of getting out." Wally said, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Calm? You expect me to be calm while she's out there fighting off the person that's trying to capture her?" He voice was gradually getting louder, making the others wince slightly.

Tim was typing away reasonably fast, trying his best to ignore Dick's ranting. Yes, he understood perfectly well that this situation was dangerous but, it was highly pointless to react in such a way. Batman had always told them to make sure their heads were calm. Otherwise the emotion would get in the way of the rational thinking. It was a logical concept, to Tim. But of course, Dick had completely forgotten about all this and this would most likely be the point in which Tim realized just how much he cared for Zatanna.
"Nightwing, I've managed to contact Dr. Fate. He should be here in no time." M'gaan informed, making Tim sigh gratefully and stretch his fingers.
Dick nodded eagerly and went back to watch the fight through the window, just hoping Zatanna could hold him off a little longer.

Zatanna was visibly proud of herself when she managed to cut across Klarion's cheek. The smirk was something she just couldn't avoid.
"Find it amusing, don't you? You're lucky I'm holding back-"
"Hey, never asked you to. Give me all you've got." She grinned.
Klarion groaned and shot the usual towards her, making her laugh loudly.
"Seriously? This is all you got? In that case, I have nothing to worry about... Erif nrub dna nordluac elbbub!"
Fire shot before her eyes, making its way around the witch boy and surrounding him. The slight panic became visible in his eyes.
"Got you right where I want you." She smiled.
Barbara managed to harm the cat, who was now running towards Klarion and meowing loudly.
"Same here." Barbara said, once she was behind her.
Zatanna immediately let her guard down once she felt the hand roughly pulling her arm. Klarion smirked and took his shot. One shot was all he needed to get what he wanted.

Nightwing fell to his knees as he watched Klarion drag an unconscious Zatanna back into the portal with him. He could feel the anger boiling up inside him when he noticed just how satisfied Barbara was. The barrier on the cave disappeared along with Klarion. Connor soon found himself holding onto a very angry Nightwing, who was just about ready to burst outside and punch something... Maybe even someone.

Barbara casually walked into the cave, as if nothing happened. But the stares she received made it all too clear that everyone was aware of what just happened. Not to mention Dick's constant yelling was a dead giveaway. "I'd like to speak to you... Alone." She said calmly, once she walked up to Connor and Dick.
"Whatever you have to say to me, can be said right here. Have you lost your mind? What were you thinking? She's a teammate. She's one of us and you handed her over just like that?"
Connor let his teammate go but kept at a safe distance. Dick needed this. He needed to be face to face with Barbara and demand to know exactly what happened.
"How can you say she's one of us? She left you all those years ago without saying goodbye. How can-"
"She had a reason for leaving!" He was shouting again.
"What reason was that?" Barbara's voice was just as loud. The people in the room were feeling highly uncomfortable with the whole situation.
"It doesn't concern you seeing as you're the traitor here."
"Dick, I did this for us."
"Us? What us? As far as I'm concerned, there is no us. And I'd appreciate it if you handed in your uniform."
"Oh please, you're being ridiculous. Klarion's doing us all a favour here. We have our own lives to continue and there are enough disturbances as it is."
"Get out." He said coldly.
"Dick, you can't make me-"
"Get out now, unless you'd rather have me escort you."
Everyone knew his game plan here. He wanted her out before he got physical. He wasn't sure if he'd actually bring himself so low, but he wasn't thinking rationally anymore. He couldn't. So he wanted her out. Out of his way and out of his life. Hopefully for good.
"N-nightwing... Dr. Fate's waiting in the main room for you." M'gaan said quietly.
"Don't forget your things in your room. Here and at the mansion. I don't expect to find them there when I get back."
He left her there after those words. Everyone in the room seemed to agree with Nightwing, seeing as they returned to their tasks and ignored her completely. She decided it was best to let everyone calm down and walked out. She also wanted to cry, desperately, but she wouldn't do so... At least not in front of the team.

"Babs... Please tell me you didn't do this because you wanted to." Cassie said, walking into her room.
"I wasn't being controlled Cas..."
"Then why?" The blonde asked, visibly shocked.
"Because... I love Dick."
"No... I don't think you do." Cassie said. She was fighting back the tears that threatened to spill as she walked out of her friend's room. She turned suddenly, before leaving, and looked deep into the red head's eyes. "Because if you loved him, you would've acted like Zatanna did. You would've wanted him to be happy, no matter who was by his side."

YOU TELL HER CASS! \o/

Oh, sorry... I apologize to those you actually like Barbara :x Cause yeah, I don't . LOL ... And it's really mean for me to be all bias and all but... Leaving that aside ~ CHALANT RULES (h)

Ehem... Okay, oooooh There's kpop on songpop now \O/ (Song pop is a facebook game, for those who don't know .. And to be fair, I didn't even know what it was until a couple of hours ago when my friend came to me and said ~ THERE'S KPOP ON SONG POP \O/) So yeah...
