Finally
Robin's POV
"Instead of discussing Robin's exemplary work ethic I believe we should question on how he broke out of Poison Ivy's mind control in the event we encounter her again and need to do the same"
My eyes flicker to Zatanna as soon as Kaldur utters the words the same thought going through both of our minds. Crap. Neither I nor the blushing magician in front of me had any idea how to explain that, I still didn't entirely understand what happened.
"Um well you see..." I mutter, rubbing the back of my head, sending Wally a frantic help! look. The red head must recieve the message because he gives me a wink that screamed you totally owe me before flinging his arm around Megan's shoulder.
"Come on guys it's probably some crazy Bat training or secret that we wouldn't understand anyway, besides Megalicious I want to to show you an amazing cookie recipe a friend taught me!" Wally says dragging the Martain girl away. Artemis follows muttering angrily under her breath about idiotic red headed speedsters, Kaldur pursuing her as damage control and Conner out of lack of anything better to do leaving Zatanna and I alone in a matter of minutes.
"Um what just happened?" Zatanna asks shock clear in her voice as she stared at me, the blush from earlier still on her cheeks.
"More importantly what happened earlier? When I was under Ivy's control?" I reply, cutting right to the chase, I wanted, no needed, to understand what was going on between us. Her cheeks instantly flush a deeper shade of scarlet as she turns away from me. I frown,catching a glimpse of the cut on her neck where I had nicked it. I sit up, pain flaring in my ribs from the contact with Conner's fist and Ivy's vine. "I'm sorry about what happened Zee, I would never purposely hurt you or the Team! It was killing me on the inside." I tell her feeling anger towards the Injustice League, anger towards Poison Ivy, and most of all anger towards myself. I should have been able to break through before hurting the girl I liked. She turns back toward me, tears in her eyes and suddenly launches herself forward, hugging me again, her head resting on my uninjured shoulder.
"Robin it's not that at all! I know you would never attack us on purpose and you broke through which is what mattered! The problem is..." She says cutting off and hugging me tighter. Pain flares up all over my body but I ignore it instead hugging her back with both my broken and burned arm.
"Zee I'm so sorry I put you through that, I'm sorry about everything that happened" I reply softly . "Please tell me what the problem, I will do everything in my power to help you" Zatanna suddenly jerks back and jumps from the bed, shaking her head wildly.
"Thats just it Robin, you're the problem! I don't know what's going on between us, I don't know what to think! I- I love you but I don't know..." She says but I grab her hand and pull her forward pressing my lips to hers and cutting her off. A fiery sensation shoots through my body at the contact, my pain melting away like dew in the warm morning sunlight. All too soon its over, both of us forced to pull away, and she stares, sky blue eyes wide in shock, into my masked ones.
"Does that answer your question?" I tease breathlessly. " Zee I love you to, have for awhile now, you were the reason I was able to breakthrough." I tell her truthfully. She gives me a soft smile, happiness sparkling in her eyes and leans forward giving me a quick peck on the cheek.
"Thank you Boy Wonder for everything" she whispers to me before gently pushing me back into the bed. "Now you better rest up and get better soon because you to take me on a formal date if you want to be my boyfriend" she says teasingly. I groan playfully and lay back, fatigue already creeping back into my muscles.
"Whatever you say Zee, I'll take you out on that date as soon as I can walk, hows that?" I ask, the same playful tone in my voice.
"Sounds good Wonder Boy now get some rest." she says giving me another quick kiss before leaving the room. I sigh, leaning back and rest my right hand on my cheek where she had kissed me. Who would have thought something so good could have come out of me nearly dying? My eyes flutter shut and I fade off into a contented sleep. my hand still resting on my cheek.
