M'gann: We've been duped! The Vertigo we found was an android!

Dick: What? Then where's the real Vertigo?

Kalder: he must have slipped out without us noticing.

Wally: How could we be so stupid!

Dick: Hey KF, how's meeting the parents going?

Wally: I don't think he likes me much.

Artemis: Yeah he definitely doesn't like you.

Wally: Thanks so much for that inspiring statement.

Conner: Hey Kaldur, how's the talk with Queenie going?

Kaldur: Not well. She's acting in a very unusual manner.

Dick: Maybe drift off back into the party but keep an eye out, so if she goes somewhere you can follow.

Kaldur: Good idea. In the meantime, how's Zatanna doing?

Dick: I think she's waking up. It'll take her a little time to regain her strength again though.

"Zatanna? Zatanna? Hey, I'm here," Dick said, picking her up and putting her gently on a bench. He sat down next to her.

"Ooh you're cute, do you want my numberr?" She slurred.

"Robin! Why don't you like me?" She said sadly, her mood changing instantaneously.

Dick: She's awake, but she's not entirely here, but should be back to normal in about ten minutes or so.

Kalder: Perdita just left the hall, I'm following. Conner and M'gann try and cut her off, she's heading towards the palace's back gardens.

M'gann: On our way.

"Hey, hey, don't cry," Dick said, giving Zatanna a small smile.

She immediately rubbed her eyes and stopped crying.

"But you still don't like me. Not the way I like you," she said glumly.

"Who told you that?" Dick said, knitting his eyebrows together.

"It's been months and we never talk about it," she whined.

Dick knew this was her subconscious talking but she was right.

She began to cry again.

"Hey hey, don't cry now, I'm sorry. Hang on, repeat after me: evig em retaw," he said.

"Evig em retaw," she said.

"Ooh!" She squealed excitedly, watching a glass of water appear in her hands.

It was such a basic spell that she didn't need to pay too much attention for it.

"Here," he said, slowly tipping it in her mouth.

He waited a few minutes, and the effects slowly started to wear off.

He sighed in relief. But there was just one question. Out of all of them, why Zatanna?
