A/N: Sorry I couldn't update in the last few days. I had to go to my cousin's place for the weekend and he's not really a fan of Young Justice, so I couldn't get enough time to write. Also, they've given us an overwhelming amount of work in school. Good thing today was the last day before school closes for summer.

I'll try to update as fast as I can as I'm on a roll with this story.

Enjoy!

Chapter 7

Jason raised his eyebrow. "Just how are we gonna use the zeta tubes?"

"Remember when our parents took us to the cave? I think I can remember how my dad entered us in." she tries to recall how exactly he did it.

"Are you insane?" Jason asks.

She raises her head to meet his green eyes. "We're stranded in the past with no way of getting back. I think that a bit of insane is allowed."

He nods. "Fair enough."

She shrugs her shoulders and walked to an alleyway. It was old, and abandoned. There had literally been nobody here for a long time. Although, the abandoned photo booth had signs that it had been opened many times before.

"Okay, why are we in an abandoned alleyway?" Jason asks, fear evident in his voice.

"That photo booth is actually a zeta beam." Zaina explains. "We can use that to get to Bludhaven."

"Are you sure about that?" he asks again, trying to hide how much he was freaking out inside. "I mean, your dad has told us some really bad stories about Bludhaven."

"I'm scared too." She tells him. "But, I'm pulling it together. You should too. After all, your father's life can be changed if our extremely crazy plan works."

Artemis has tears in her eyes as Oliver looks at her with a horrified expression. Roy is standing behind him, giving her a sympathetic look and Jade is leaning against the wall, holding Lian. She swallows another sob as Jason squirms in her arms. She quickly rocks the baby back to sleep. Dinah walks forward and places a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"It's hard, isn't it?" she softly asks the younger woman.

Artemis nods. "He never even got to meet him…" The rest of the sentence is drowned out by her sobbing. Jason wakes up at once because he can sense that his mother's sad and probably doesn't like it. She slowly runs her hand across his forehead, feeling the urge to cry at how much his green eyes look so much like his father's. Dinah takes Jason from her hands and Oliver pulls her into a tight hug as she hugs her adoptive father and cries.

"You'll get through this." He whispers to her.

But, deep inside, she knows that she'll never get over it. As she holds Oliver, she catches a glimpse of something sparkling. This makes her tear up even more as uses her fingers to touch the ring on her ring finger.

After they got back from the summit, Wally had proposed to her. He had told her that their lives were short, and he wanted to spend his life with her. She had agreed then. That very night, they went all out, just because they were glad to be back with each other. The next day, she found out she was pregnant. But, she couldn't tell Wally. Even when they were teamed up against the bots, she tried as hard as possible to restrain from telling him. After defeating their bot, Wally had passionately kissed her. She tried to tell him then, but couldn't.

She regretted that decision her whole life.

"Are you sure about this?" Jason asks.

Zaina rolls her eyes. "That's the tenth time you've asked me that question." She points out, typing down coordinates in the holographic computer. He shrugs.

"Just making sure." He said in a small voice.

She looked at him and cocked her eyebrow. "I thought you were supposed to be the tough one." She smirks. "You're not chicken, are you?"

"I'm not." He says defiantly.

"Sure you're not." She replies sarcastically. As the zeta tube gives a ding, she looks up. "We're good to go."

The two friends step into the glowing beam. She feels a tingly sensation and decides that she doesn't like to have her molecules played with. The sensation also comes with a feeling of nausea. According to her father, nausea was a normal side effect for first time zeta beam users. So, she doesn't let that worry her much. Although, she really feels like punching Jason for making her feel scared now with his constant babbling. To think that he was considered to be the tough guy in school.

When she hears the machine's roar calm down and a female voice announce their designations, she opens her eyes to find that they were safely transported to Bludhaven.

She heaves a small laugh. "It worked after all."

"What do you mean 'after all'?" Jason asks.

"Oh, shut up, chicken."

He looks around the street and then back at his watch. He's not scared, he's just very nervous. But, Zaina seems to think otherwise. Well, this wouldn't be the first time she saw through him. She always had a knack for knowing what he really felt. He thinks that's probably why they're such good friends, because she's the only one he can talk to without getting those stupid pity looks and the monotonous "I'm sorry about that". She may not have been through the same thing he has, but that doesn't stop her from lifting his spirits after telling him that no matter what he lost, he still has a family that loves him. And he always tells her that same thing if she's feeling a bit insecure. Sure a few other people have said the same thing to him, but it always feels more intense when it's Zaina who says it. It's like she can feel everything he does, like they're connected in some way emotionally. He wonders if she knows about his crush on Kim…

Yeah, she probably does, maybe sooner than he did.

They've always had this thing when they randomly meet at places unexpectedly and then end up spending the entire time together. He doesn't know why, but he always felt free when he spent time with her. All his worries, issues and fears would come out like a stream if she just said one word.

And he's pretty sure that she reciprocates.

He's never had siblings before, so that's why he looks at her as his sister, even though their relationship is deeper than a normal sibling friendship. And he's also sure that they don't like each other. They just need each other's shoulders all the time. Now, they can't be without each other, which would explain why he's now at her father's city and trembling in his shoes.

"So, what now?" he asks.

"The warehouse should be here somewhere." She says, almost to herself.

She looks at him and he swallows his fear down. He raises his hands. "It's your plan. You lead."

She narrows her eyes. "You okay, J-man?" she asks.

"Yeah, totally fine." He says. "Despite the fact that we're in your father's city and he could pop up anywhere and scare the hell out of us any second now. We're also in the past and not supposed to be here and we have no way to get back. Yeah, I'm so fine."

She sighs. "Jason's back."

A/N: It's not as long as the other chapters, but this chapter is just a filler. I also wanted to go a little deeper into Jason and Zaina's relationship. It's easy to fall in love with the two of them.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter, guys. I'll be updating more frequently now.

Please review.
