Red Wizard (A Zatanna Zatara/OC Love Story)

Revelation

Mount Justice: October 1: 18:13 EDT

It was a few days after the mission to India. Nick was currently in the Mission Room, watching Robin and Kaldur sparring, along with Captain Marvel and Zatara, the Team's latest 'Den Mother.' Nick was talking to Zatara about allowing Zatanna to visit the Cave.

After the India mission, Zatanna had lectured Nick and warned him never to do anything stupid ever again. Nick had promised her that he would be careful.

Nick spoke up. "So, I was talking to her, and I agree that she should be able to meet the Team. At least let her come see how we train." He said to his Mentor.

Zatara spoke up. "I will think about it." He stated. Nick smiled, and turned back to the sparring match. Nick was eating a packet of Wally's chips, while Marvel was eating a chocolate bar.

Robin and Kaldur were both evenly matched in their match. Nick, Marvel and Zatara were watching the match with smiles.

Nick soon finished the packet of chips, and used his non-verbal magic that he learned from John Constantine to send the packet to the bin, which made Zatara smile a little at his protege's use of non-verbal magic.

Robin and Kaldur soon stopped their sparring match, and Nick went over to them. They saw Connor and M'gann enter with Wolf. Connor and M'gann were looking at each other lovingly.

Nick smiled, because they reminded him of himself and Zatanna.

Robin spoke up. "You know they're a couple, right?" He asked.

Kaldur spoke up. "I believe I knew before they did." He stated.

Nick spoke up. "At least you never walked in on them kissing." He said.

Robin smirked. "What happenned?" He asked.

Nick spoke up. "I walked in on them kissing after I returned from my training session with Zatara. M'gann chased me around the Cave when I threatened to tell the Team." He informed. Robin snickered, while Kaldur smiled. The three of them saw Wally and Artemis approaching.

Robin spoke up. "Do we tell them?" He asked.

Kaldur spoke up. "It is not our place." He told them.

Nick grinned. "But, it would make my day for me to tell them." He said.

Kaldur looked at him. "It is not our place." He repeated firmly.

Nick pouted. "Killjoy." He said. Kaldur rolled his eyes, while Robin smirked. Artemis and Wally entered the room.

Wally spoke up. "So if Zatara's our babysitter of the week, ugh, why's he still here? And why is he eating my snacks?" He demanded, looking at Marvel.

Nick spoke up. "Wally. First of all, Zatara is not a babysitter, he has been here helping me train." He began, remembering all the magic training that they did this week. "Secondly, about your snacks, find a better place to hide them." He finished.

Wally looked at him. "Dude, you have also been eating my snacks?" He asked.

Nick smirked. "Yeah, and they were so delicious." He said. Wally glared at him, while Artemis and Robin snickered. Kaldur gave a small smile. The Zeta Tube lit up.

The computer spoke up. "Recogonized: Batman: 02." The computer said as the Dark Knight entered the Cave.

Batman spoke up. "Computer, national news." He ordered. The holo-screen appeared, showing Cat Grant reporting in Metropolis.

Cat spoke up. "The initial attack was short-lived. But Metropolis was only granted a short reprieve." She began, the clip showed Metropolis being attacked by plants. "And despite the intervention of Superman and the Justice League there seems to be no end in sight." The clip then showed the Justice League fighting the plants. Batman paused the video.
