Blood. That's all he saw. Blood. Zatanna. Her body covered in blood. He collapsed beside her. Robin cradled her upper body in his arms, and sobbed. He may have lost another one he loved, he loved her more than his own life. He shut his eyes tight. 'No... she can't be gone. She has to stay here! With me!'

Zatanna groaned. Robin gritted his teeth and tears drenched his mask.

"Well, looks like you kids need some privacy, we'll leave you." Ivy said and escaped with the Joker.

Artemis had been picking the lock on her wrist chains and she had finished. She ripped the gag off her mouth and freed everyone else in the room. M'gann and Kaldur were luckily still conscious and every one ran to the side of the two Bats.

"Zee, no...please, c'mon, stay!" The Boy Wonder pleaded.

Zatanna tried to remove her cowl. Robin quickly removed the cloth from her face. "Shhh, it's okay" she coughed up some blood, "everything is going to be fine." She said with deep breaths.

"Wally, call the league!" Artemis ordered, "Rocket, Conner, find something to wrap around Zatanna, stat."

Artemis ran to find some water.

Robin cried as M'gann and Kaldur sat down barely conscious.

"Hey, listen to me." Zatanna whispered.

Robin looked into her eyes.

She cleared her throat, and breathed in again. "My best friend gave me,

The best advice,

She said today's a gift and not a given right,

Leave no stone unturned,

Leave your fears behind,

What's worth a life is always worth a fight,

Then live your life and never give up,

If today was your last day,

Tomorrow was too late,"

Zatanna sang quietly. She was still breathing heavily.

"Could you say good bye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last,

Leave all pictures in the past?

Donate every dime you own?

Would you call those friends you never see?

Remonisk some memories?

Would you forgive your enemies?"

Robin held her tight as she coughed again bringing blood with her.

"If today was your last day?

Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?

You know it's never too late,

To shoot for the stars,

Regardless of who you are?

So, do what ever it takes,

Cause you can't rewind,

I know your on the line,

But would you call your friends you never see?

Did you ever fall in love?"

Robin touched her cheek and she sighed.

"If today was your last day." Zatanna finished.

"I did." Robin whispered.

She groaned and sighed in pain.

"I fell in love with you." He said

She smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too." Robin said through tears

Zatanna's eyes closed slowly. Robin begged her to stay awake. "Zee! No, please! You have to wake up! I need you, I need you to be here with me! I need you to stay... I can't loose anyone else!" He pleaded desperately

No response. Robin held her wrist gently. 'There's still a pulse!' He said in his head.

Conner quickly wrapped a peice of cloth around her waist. It began to absorb Zatanna's crimson blood.

Batman and the league arrived a second later.

Batman now saw Zatanna as his own daughter and scooped her up into his arms. Running with Robin to the BatWing, they took Zatanna straight to the Batcave, and let the Team go back to the Cave.

At the BatCave...

Dick paced out side of the room where Alfred was repairing Zatanna's wound.

"Dick, she's gonna be okay." Bruce promised.

Dick nodded and sat down.

A few hours later, Dick was allowed inside the infirmary.

Zatanna laid on the medical cot, with an oxygen mask. The covers were pulled over her chest. Her breathing was steady. Bruce and Alfred left Dick alone with Zatanna.

Dick pulled back the covers, that revealed a stitched, red, bloody, mark that went from her ribs to her hip, on her right side. The Joker had stabbed multiple times in one line.

"Dick?" She asked he eyes opening. She held his left hand in her right and clutched the sheet in her other. She removed the oxygen mask. Zatanna slowly sat up on the side of her hip, with her hand intertwined with Dick's supporting her weight.

Zatanna and Dick's lips were connected and this kiss was full of passion. Zatanna pulled away and felt the cold air of the cave meet her skin.

The she remembered. She only had her bra and underwear on due to surgery. Zatanna's cheeks went aflame. She pulled the sheet higher up her chest.

Dick blushed, took off his cape and draped it on her shoulders.

She brought to of the corners together, and covered her chest.

"You okay?" Dick asked

Zatanna nodded, took a deep breath, "I'm okay, it just hurts... a lot."

Dick pulled up a chair next to Zatanna's medical cot on the left side. She laid back down on her left side. She slowly drifted to sleep.

The next day...

Dick woke up next to Zatanna's medical cot. She was still asleep. Bruce entered the room.

"We're taking her to her room." Bruce said simply

Dick nodded, and carefully scooped Zatanna up into his arms. He blushed as he did so, still aware of the bra and underwear that clothed her.

He rested her head on his shoulder, and cradled her in his arms.

They entered Zatanna's room and Dick laid her on her bed. Bruce set her medicine down on her night stand and Dick covered her up in her soft blue blanket. Dick looked at her all curled up. She was just so cute like that.

Bruce left, allowing Dick to stay with Zatanna. Her breathing was peaceful and quiet. Dick wasn't sure if it was okay for him to lay down with her, considering Alfred's perfect stitching was in the girl's side. Deciding that it would be alright considering he was just going to sit down next her. Luckily, Dick had already laid her in the center of the bed, he kicked his shoes off and sat down with his back against the soft pillows. He grabbed the remote and turned on Sherlock. The Hound Of Baskerville was on.

Zatanna slowly woke up. She had that same adorable half a sleep look on her face, and her hair was all messed up which just made her look even hotter than normal.

She groaned and sat up slowly, she didn't see Dick sitting next to her, until the sleep was gone from her eyes.

"Sleep well?" Dick asked

"Fine. It felt not to be in my own bed." Zatanna replied.

"I know that feeling." Dick said with a kiss to her cheek

Zatanna sighed, "I'm gonna go take a shower."

Dick nodded and turned his attention to Sherlock and Watson

Zatanna wrapped the blanket around her self and went to take a shower.

About fifteen minutes later, she returned with wet hair, a grey hoodie, and green shorts.

"Y'know they're gonna wonder where you you're at." Dick says as Watson locked himself inside the cage to escape the 'hound'.

"Well, I'm here, I can walk just fine, but not sure if I can go on patrol." Zatanna said

Dick looked down at her side, there was blood seeping through the fabric. "Zee, you're bleeding!"

"Huh? Oh!" She says, "esolc dnuow." She ordered and her wound was closed leaving a scar.

"I think it stopped." Dick said

"It should have." Zatanna muttered

A week later...

Thank to Zatanna's magic, she was healed in two weeks.

Well this was an easy mission. This mission was just an observe and get out. It was just Zatanna and Wally.

Zatanna and Wally were hiding behind crates while they watched Joker and p complete a new batch of what they called 'love gas'.

Zatanna sneaked around and quirking nabbed Harley and tied her up fast. Wally gagged Joker and they were taken to Arkam Assylum.

Zatanna and Wally returned to the Cave.

"Zee!" Robin called as she exited the Zeta Tube. He hugged her firmly and careful to not push on her scar

"Hey, Robin." Zatanna said

Well, Valentines day was coming up, so the Boy Wonder was planning on something special.
