Gotham City, February 17, 2012, 00:28 am

Zatanna crouched next a gargoyle. She was following Firefly downtown. She knew she shouldn't be on patrol when she's totally pissed, but she is.

There was a high-pitched 'Whizz' and a man in a yellow costume whizzed by at nearly light speed.

Zatanna used her grappling hook, and swung from building to building.

The only thing in her mind was 'get Firefly'. Zatanna quietly followed him to his apartment.

'Ted Carson.' She said to herself as he removed his helmet. Zatanna planted a small camera on the window sill. Unlucky for Ted, he lived on the top floor and there was a sky light in the roof.

Zatanna smirked. That just made her night more enjoyable. She swung herself up to the roof.

"Ted!" She yelled busting through the glass and pinning him to the ground with his hands behind his back.

"Wh-What the hell?!" Ted asked

"Shut up." Zatanna said tying him up and grabbing her camera then taking him to Arkam.

Patrol was pretty great for her. She got to fight Harley and the Joker, and then Poison Ivy!

She returned to Wayne Manor fine. A little tried and still hurt, but fine physically.

She changed quickly and ran to her room. Turns out Barbara was still there after three hours of patrol.

Alfred knocked on Zatanna's door. "Miss Zatanna, may I inquire where you have been for the past three hours?"

Zatanna opens the door, and Alfred stands outside it. "I was on patrol, Alfred."

"Ah, I see. Have you finished your school work?" Alfred inquired

"Yeah, i finished in school." Zatanna mumbled

Alfred quirked an eyebrow. "Are you alright, Miss Zatanna?"

With a sigh, Zatanna slowly said, "no... but I don't want to talk about it, Alfred."

Alfred nodded respectfully, "I respect your privacy, but I am here if you need me."

"thanks..." Zatanna said.

A few hours later, Barbara left.

"Zee? You in there?" Dick asked knocking on the door.

"Yeah I'm here, now go away." Zatanna said through the door.

Dick felt like he was just jabbed in the heart.

'AW DAMMIT!' Dick cursed in his head.

"Zee, can I please come in?" Dick pleaded.

Zatanna sighed. "Fine, get your ass in and out." Zatanna sighed, "Rood Nepo."

The door opened. Zatanna was mindlessly starring at her TV with her glasses on. Zatanna needed glasses for only a few things, she had just finished reading and had not bothered to take them off.

"Zee, I-"

"You're sorry? Huh, that's new." Zatanna muttered as she watched Matt Smith and Clara talk through a time fortex.

Dick sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Please, Zee," he began.

She turned to face him. "Please what?" she asked

"Zee, I'm so sorry, I should have stopped her but... I didn't I know you're like totally pissed and all bu-"

Zatanna knew he really didn't mean for this to happen, but she still felt duper hurt. But, being the girl she is, she forgave in her mind, and shut him up with a kiss. "I forgive you, but don't let it happen again." Zatanna said.

Dick smiled. They settled down for Doctor Who on Netflix, and fell asleep on Zatanna's bed, but that wasn't uncommon.

In the middle of the night, Dick felt a wetness on Zatanna's side. The light were still on he rubbed the sleep from his eyes, and the wetness was crimson red. Dick's eye widened in fear and horror. "Zee! You're bleeding again!"

Zatanna slowly woke up, her white shirt's side was completely covered in red blood. Dick slowly lifted the blouse enough to see her cut. The wound was cut open and didn't look great at all. The blood kept coming and Zatanna gritted her teeth in pain when breathed.

"Alfred! Bruce!" Dick yelled in fear

Zatanna was nowhere near breathing, it was more like she was panting or hypervenalating.

Alfred and Bruce quickly ran into the room. Alfred's eye widened and he ran to grab his equipment. Dick and Bruce ran and grabbed a towel for the bleeding. Dick and Bruce gently got the towel around Zatanna's small waist.

"Dick, get her some water." Bruce ordered and gently pressed the towel on the wound.

"Dick," Zatanna gasped

"Shhh, Zee, it's okay..."

Alfred ran back into the room, and made Dick sit on the chair next to the bed, Zatanna weakly reached for Dick's hand. Zatanna gasped a little when Alfred applied the cleaning ointment. She sucked in a gasp from the stinging, through her teeth.

Dick held her hand tight and firmly.

Alfred had finished cleaning the cut, now he had to make sure nothing else inside was messed up. Lucky for Zatanna everything was okay. Alfred began to stitch up her cut. Soon, everything was back to normal.

"Zatanna, how do you think you got that open again?" Bruce asked

"Well, I was on patrol and caught Poison Ivy, the Joker, and Harley Quinn. Joker and Harley were working on something called 'Venom Toxin'. Joker and Harley looked my way so I quickly ducked behind a crate. I heard something bubble then sizzle. I jumped out and knocked them out getting away with a few bruises, but I didn't feel me scar get cut." Zatanna explained

"Dick, find her uniform." Bruce said

Dick ran to Zatanna's laundry basket and found her costume. Dick looked at the left side of he costume, there was a small cut about two inches long. There was small glowing blue droplets on the border of the cloth.

"Bruce, there's a glowing blue drops on the border of the cloth. Joker must have known she was there and dipped the knife in the Venom Toxin, then cut Zee." Dick said showing Bruce the costume's evidence.

"It must eat away flesh and add in poison. Because Miss Zatanna's cut should not have been that large, the entire scar had reopened, and that small cut was not even half." Alfred says

"Alfred's right. Plus we need to run a test to see if the poison is anywhere in her body." Bruce said

Alfred and Dick nodded. The butler started to clean up the medical tools. Zatanna slowly sat up. Alfred removed the towel from the bed, and Zatanna stood up. There was dried blood all on her stomach. Dick helped her to her bathroom, then grabbed her clothes.

"Thanks, Dick." Zatanna said

"I'm just out here if you need me." Dick said and closed the door.

"Dick, she got lucky, there isn't any venom in her system." Bruce said

"Great!" Dick cheered

Zatanna sighed as she stepped out of the shower. Her stitches hurt and stung when the hot water was helping cleanse it. The blood was washed off. She pulled on her clothes and walked out with the support of the walls, and nearly slipped. Dick ran to her side and helped her back to the bed. Zatanna laid down and pulled her blue blanket over herself. Alfred took out the clothes that had blood on them, and Bruce took her costume to the BatCave and removed all of the Venom Toxin... then put it in a test tube.

Zatanna and Dick were the only ones left. Zatanna was almost asleep, as she felt Dick crawl into bed with her. Her big fuzzy blue blanket covered them both. Zatanna was facing Dick, and her hair was in a bun so its coldness wouldn't bother her. Dick kissed her forehead.

"You okay?" Dick asked

Zatanna kissed his nose as if to say "yes".

Dick held her tight in his arms. "I love you."

"I love you more, Boy Wonder." Zatanna said drifting into sleep

"I love you most." Dick mumbled and a smile crept onto both lips.
