Thanks once again to Zatanna Carrile and PainInSilence for reviewing!

Usual disclaimer: I own nothing.

Enjoy!

Mt. Justice

February 12

"I'm so sorry," Zatanna said, close to tears. The stress of the fight between the two friends, coupled with her fear of what was happening with the League came crashing down on her all at once. "I just wanted to make sure you were okay. You know, after your fight with Wally."

When she mentioned the fight, Robin's heart sank as he remembered the topic of his disagreement with the speedster.

He took a deep breath and turned around. If he couldn't trust the girl he really, really, liked, how could he trust anyone? Batman always said to keep his identity a secret, but some people were more important than following orders.

"It's okay," Robin said. Zatanna just shook her head and didn't turn around. "I'm ready."

"Ready for what?"

"To tell you," Robin walked around and looked at Zatanna's closed eyes. "I trust you. You can open your eyes."

She opened her eyes and looked into his dark blue ones and grinning face. "Your eyes-" she breathed.

"Yeah, I can trust you. Can't I?" Robin grinned.

"Of course you can Rob-" Zatanna started, before she was cut off.

"Dick."

"Excuse me?"

"Dick Grayson's my real name. Like I said: I trust you."

He told Zatanna his whole story: his family's death at Haly's Circus; Batman's recruitment to become Robin when he was only nine; and everything after. When he finished he let out a deep breath that he hadn't realized he had been holding. "We should probably get back to the team now."

"Yeah," Zatanna agreed, and they walked of the gym together.

"Here comes Robin and Zatanna!" M'gann called back to the team in the main cavern. "Where have you guys been? We've practically finished setting up."

"Sorry we took so long," the magician apologized. "We kind-of got caught up talking."

"Well it's time for our indoor cook-out!"

Artemis and Rocket pulled Zatanna over to help start the fire. Thgil a erif! She chanted and a spark caught under the grill for the rest of the team to roast hot dogs.

Soon enough, the entire team was chatting among themselves and just relaxing for a bit. Zatanna conjured up a night sky on the ceiling and the team fell asleep gazing up at the shimmering stars.

February 13

Alarm bells shook the cave as an incoming video feed opened and Robin sprinted over the holo-pad trying to get a better video quality. The rest of the team jumped awake in their sleeping bags, M'gann even letting out a small shriek of surprise.

Everyone wake up! Robin shouted through M'gann's hastily formed mind-link.

We are awake, Conner said, in an annoyed tone, It's kind of hard to sleep with those alarms going off!

Robin, Kaldur said, what is going on?

It's an incoming video message, Robin explained, but someone hacked our system to get in, setting off the alarms.

"Batman to cave," a grainy video flickered in and out of focus. "Most of-League-off-don't-Hall of Justice-might-help."

Robin continued to type furiously, heightening the quality of the video a fraction of a second before the video died.

What was that? Artemis asked.

Can you try facial recognition on that last image? Wally asked.

Robin typed in some lines of code but the system refused to reboot. Sorry, when they hacked our system they used an untraceable address. I can't bring up the video or even get the system to restart. The cave's zeta tubes are the only tech still working.

It's fine. But do you think that this has anything to do with the virus Batman was talking about last night? Zatanna asked.

Most likely, Robin replied, continuing to tap on the holo-pad. Anyone have a clue on what the virus might be? Or how the video is connected to it?

The virus has to be pretty powerful, like the Staro-Tech from a month ago. M'gann said, going to stand by Conner.

What about the mention of the Hall of Justice? Raquel pointed out, running her hand through her short, spiky dark brown hair.

It's got to be a trap. Artemis said, matter-of-factly.

Oh yeah. Trap, Robin smirked. "And that's exactly why we have to investigate."

The whole team looked at each other, then at Robin, and everyone broke out in to smiles. The team was ready for a mission.

"If we're going," Conner said. "We need to be ready. Who knows what could go down in the time it takes us to change."

"I think I can take care of that," Zatanna said slyly. "Egahc sehtolc otni ruo smorfinu!" The spell turned the team's pajamas into their mission outfits.

I've reprogrammed the zeta tubes to allow a group without having to go one at a time, Robin stated once the team adjusted to the magical appearance of their uniforms. But I don't know who might be on the other side; we don't want the tubes shutting down if only half of us is on the other side.

Miss Martian, Aqualad said. Please try and keep the link going for as long as you can. We do not need the enemy overhearing us.

But wouldn't they already know we're there because of the announcement the computer gives off when zeta tubes are used? Artemis asked snarkily.

Let me try something, Zatanna said, moving over to join Robin by the tubes. She playfully elbowed Robin and he stepped back and gave her access to the zeta tubes' control panel.

Zatanna typed a few commands and soon the speakers were offline.

"I'm gonna have to teach you how to hack, Zee," Robin whispered.

"Zee?" Zatanna asked teasingly, and Robin looked sheepish, "I like it...Robin."

Speakers are now offline, Robin announced. Let's go.

The entire team gathered in one zeta tube entrance and they were soon transported to the back room of the Hall of Justice.

Is everyone in stealth mode? Kaldur asked, before they left the back room. Good, Robin and M'gann on point. Try to determine if anyone else is here. Superboy and Rocket, can you cover the back? The rest of us are in the middle, be sure to cover all sides.

The entire team nodded as they moved to their positions: Robin and Miss Martian ran-and flew-ahead as Superboy and Rocket positioned themselves behined the group.

After searching most of the Hal, the team hadn't seen a single sign of trouble and they all gathered in the main hallway, under the shadows of the original LEaguers.

Is this some kind of set up? Superboy asked angrily.

I do not believe this was any type of set-up, Aqualad replied steadily. Batman does not seem like the type who would do that.

Does anyone else feel...like something bad is about to hap- Miss Martian cried out and fainted dead away. Zatanna collapsed but struggled to get to her feet.

"M"GANN!" Superboy yelled, as Robin shouted: "ZATANNA!"

It was no use being quiet anymore. Whomever was there obviously know their presence and the mind-link had gone down when M'gann had been rendered unconscious. Conner quickly scooped up the unconscious Martian in his arms as Aqualad started shouting instructions for the team to get back to the zeta tubes. Robin and Artemis helped Zatanna supported her, despite all of the magicians' protests.

"Get behind me!" Zatanna suddenly shouted, pushing Robin back.

"Come on Zee!" Robin argued, tugging on Zatanna's arm. "We're almost to the tubes."

"It's coming," Zatanna whispered.

What?" The entire team asked, but right then ARtemis and Kid Flash fainted just like M'gann.

"Tectorp ym sdneirf, dleihs meht dna pots eht suriv morf gniturh meht!"

Robin shouted: "NO!" as a huge shield sprang up between the magician and her team.

Whatever Zatanna had shielded the rest of the team from, she absorbed seemingly into her own body. Zatanna started shaking and crying out in pain, but it wasn't enough. The shield fell and the entire team lapsed into unconsciousness.

Sorry if the chapter's kind of long but I couldn't figure out a good place to stop. Please read and review!

I can't wait to hear all of your feedback!
