AN:


Zatanna was in the kitchen with M'gann and Artemis. Zatanna was sitting on the couch with Artemis and M'gann was siting on the chair across from them.

"So, you're a bat now, huh?" Artemis teased

"You bet, Gotham look out! The Black Bat is in town, and here to stay!" Zatanna says making a heroic pose, then all of them bursting out in laughter.

The three girls were soon accompanied by Rocket, or as they gave her the nickname 'Rocky'.

"So, Zee, how's t feel to know your a bat?" Rocky asked

"It's fun, the training is intense, but in all Bats and Rob are great to go on patrol with." Zatanna says

"Of course, you and Robin spend so much more time together now." Artemis says with a smirk.

Zatanna rolled her eyes, which caused the other girls to break into laughter.

"What's so funny?" Robin asked walking into the room with Wally, Conner, and Kaldur.

"Nothing." Artemis said starting to stop laughing.

"Right." Conner says doubtfully

That evening, Dick had his birthday party. Bette had dragged Artemis along. Artemis was still surprised she had even gave in!

Apparently they had decided to play Spin the Bottle, and Dick had apparently landed with Barbara. Now, Zatanna was on patrol. She had stopped a few robbers, and Joker. She had came back at the wrong time. The bat silently landed on the roof of Wayne Manor. The issue was she didn't know which rooms were for Dick's party, so she had came in through a skylight. Zatanna landed quietly at the top of the stairs and quickly regretted it. Two reasons. One, there was the whole Gotham Academy was there! She quietly flipped up to a sturdy beam near the ceiling of Wayne Manor.

'Dammit.'

Two, she saw the whole Spin the Bottle thing, and Dick and Barbara had already entered the damn closet. She touched her temple, that activated a device that she could use to hear anything as small as a mouse's feet patting the floor.

"Y'know we don't have to do anything..." Dick tells her

But after that she heard shuffling and a small groan. Dick's groan. After a little she heard a little more shuffling.

"What... what was that for?" Dick asked

"God, Dick, you know what." Barbara says.

But next thing she heard was the loud high pitched glitching noise of her ear piece, she didn't let out a cry of pain or anything, knowing if she did, everyone would hear her! But hell she waned to scream.

Dick and Barbara came out and there were a few gasps. Zatanna had only been focusing on Barbara and Dick, until she heard:

"Oh my god! The Black Bat!"

Dick immeadiantly looked up and there she was, the Black Bat.

"Get out!" Dick yelled.

Zatanna knew he was acting but she felt so hurt. The whites on her mask narrowed and she took out a batarang. She thought about throwing it at Barbara, but Dick' eyes screamed 'It's okay, stop. Please stop.'

Zatanna used the grabbling batarang, and latched onto a post then dropped down into the crowd of students, they moved around her. She turned to Dick, "I'm merely making sure you are okay, Mister Grayson, if you wish or me to no longer be involved in your life, I will respect your wishes and I will leave, but if Poison Ivy gets you, know that I tried to help." she said through her modified voice. "She does like you a lot." Then she left.

Zatanna quickly made her way back outside and Alfred got her unseen through the back door, up to her room.

"Thanks, Alfred." Zatanna said.

"My pleasure, Miss Zatanna, and I apologize for not telling which rooms were being occupied." Alfred apologized.

Zatanna removed her cowl, and sighed, "No biggie Alfred,"

"You observed Master Dick and Miss Barbara's 'make out session'?" the old butler asked making hand quotes around 'make out session'

"Well, sort of, I used the sonic hearing tech from Wayne Industries." Zatanna said leaning against the doorframe.

"Ah," Alfred said, "a classic bat move."

Zatanna smiled, she really was turning into a bat.

"Will you be joining the others at the party?" Alfred asked

"No, I-I, um, think I'll stay here, maybe read, or play some video games." Zatanna replied, "Or tweak my utility belt... basically I'll be here, don't send anyone up, I'll come to the kitchen for dinner later..."

"Alright, Miss Zatanna," Alfred says and walked away

Zatanna sat on her bed and a small tear ran down her cheek.

"Zee?" a voice asked that was accompanied by a knock

"Not now, Boy Wonder." Zatanna muttered

"C'mon, Zee, please open the door," Dick pleaded

"Not now, Richard." zatanna said

"Zatanna, please."

"No, not now... please, just not now." Zatanna said trying not to cry when she spoke to him through the door.

"Bu-"

"no."

Dick sighed. 'Great, she's pissed. Nice going Dick! Get the girl you love pissed at you and she's a magician! There's no telling what could happen now!'

Dick started to pick the lock, "Please, Zee."

"Evael." she commanded

And he left her.

They party was still going and Zatanna went down to the kitchen for something to satisfy her hunger.

Zatanna walked into the kitchen wearing a red hoodie, and comfortable jeans. She saw Alfred had kept her food warm. She had a bowl of shrimp, chicken alfredo, with a small bowl of grapes, and a glass of water. 'Thanks Alfred.'

Zatanna sat down with her food, and began to eat. She had decided to save the shrimp, because it was still really hot. She set the dishes in the sink, and grabbed her bowl of shrimp. The girl sighed as placed a small shrimp into her mouth.

"C'mon, Grayson! Do it!" a boy yelled

"Yeah!" others cheered

"C'mon, Dick!" Barbara urged.

Apparently, Dick was supposed to 'propose' to the love of his life.

"He doesn't have to if he doesn't want to." Zatanna's voice spoke

Everyone turned to the magician.

Dick simply walked over to Zatanna got on one knee and asked the most loving question she could hear from him.

"Zee, will you marry me?"
