When Robin didn't come back in after a few minutes Phoenix went after him.
"What's wrong sweety?" she asked.
"Zatanna's been in an accident," Robin said.
"Is she okay?" Phoenix asked.
"She's in surgery now but they aren't optimistic," he said. The team rest of the team walked out to check on them.
"New mom shouldn't you be resting," Artemis said.
"Zatanna's been in an accident," Phoenix said. Everyone went quiet. Robin's text alert went off. Tears sprung to his eyes.
"She's dead," Robin said. Silent tears came to everyone close to her.
"What do you mean mommy's dead?" John asked. Robin picked up his little boy.
"I'm so sorry baby," he whispered. Starfire joined Robin in comforting John, Wally held Nancy and Artemis close, Jason hugged Phoenix, and Cyborg put a supportive hand on Beast Boy's shoulder. It felt like hours before anyone could think to do anything.
"Phoenix why don't you go lay down?" Jason suggested. She nodded weakly as she was led out of the room. Jason sat down in a chair next to Phoenix's bed.
"You can leave me alone you know." she said.
"Not a chance," Jason said with a soft smile. Phoenix returned it weakly and closed her eyes falling into a deep sleep. When Jason was sure she was out he let the tears come to him. How could she die without knowing that he was still alive?
Robin sat with Starfire and John in Robin's room.
"What will happen to me?" John asked.
"Well, you'll live here with us," Robin said.
"But how will you be a Titan?" he asked.
"We'll figure it out bud, I promise," Robin said.
"Okay," John said. Starfire smiled softly at the two of them.
"You will be of the alright," Starfire assured them. They both gave her a half-hearted smile. John climbed into his father's lap and fell asleep. Starfire put an arm around Robin and comforted him.
Beast Boy sat on the couch staring at the ceiling. Raven walked over to him.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Not really." he said.
"I'm sorry about Zatanna," Raven said.
"I'm really gonna miss her." Beast Boy said.
"Were you close?" she asked.
"Close enough that I considered her a friend." he said.
"Sometimes we lose people we care about. There is nothing that we can do but move forward." Raven said.
"I'm no stranger to losing people but why today? Why her?" Beast Boy asked in anger.
"I can't answer these questions. Nor does it do any good to ask them." Raven said. She put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"I just don't know what to do." he said.
"There is nothing you can do now." Raven said, "You will get through this." Beast Boy smiled softly at Raven.
Wally held a sobbing Artemis and a shell-shocked Nancy in his arms. They hadn't moved from the hall.
"I don't understand how this happened Baywatch." Artemis choked out.
"I know, I know," Wally whispered into her hair. He softly rocked both of his girls.
"How could this happen? She was a good person and an even better mom. I just don't understand." Artemis said.
"I know gorgeous," Wally said.
"I miss her already," Nancy said as the tears started.
"Me too kiddo, me too," Wally said softly stroking his daughter's hair.
