I'll Be Here

Practicing Spells

October 13, Mount Justice
Zatanna's POV

So waking up today was very hard. It's eight in the morning and it's a Saturday, but we have to wake up. I got, at most, three hours of sleep last night.
Authors note:
This is me everyday :')
Being a superhero is hard. You actually have to train. I got out of my bed after five minutes of complete nothingness. I would have been an hour, but I have to be at the training room by eight thirty.
I got dressed in my uniform and brushed my teeth. I had the largest bags under my eyes that I quickly fixed with magic.
"ekam ym ecaf kool ta tsael tneced"
My face now looked less crappy and I headed out of my room. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a quick protein bar and a glass of milk. I still had ten minutes, so I went back to Robin's room.
I opened his door and he was still sleeping.
"Hey, Robin, wake up," I whispered as I shook him.
"Nooo, I'm tired," he whined.
"We have to train now!" I yelled in his ear.
He jumped out of his bed... in only his boxers.
"Zatanna," he growled, "we still have twenty-five minutes."
"What?! No we don't, it starts at eight thirty."
"No, Zee, at eight forty-five."
Zee? I really liked that nickname.
"Oh, sorry... Well you're up now," I chuckled.
"I guess so," he said. "Oh crap, I don't have any pants on!!" He quickly ran into his closet blushing a deep red.
"Robin, you take your pants off, but keep your mask on?" I cried laughing so hard.
"It's for identity reasons!!" he poorly explained.
"What about the pants?"
"Well I'm sorry that people don't usually barge in here waking me up," he said sarcastically.
"Sorry, I'll leave then," I apologized.
"You can stay now, just don't make me jump out of my bed with only boxers on."
"And a mask," I laughed.
He came out of his closet in costume.
"So, when we were at Belle Reve, you said that you would help me with my spells? You still up for that?" I asked.
"Yeah," he replied.
"Oh crap, it's eight forty! We need to get down to the training room!"
On the way through the kitchen I threw him a protein bar. We were sprinting all the way down to the training room and got there exactly on time.
"Hi guys," M'gann greeted us.
"Uhhh, hey," Robin said.
I glanced in the corner to see Kaldur and Artemis sitting down.
"Why are you guys here? You should be resting," I advised.
"Well we just wanted to watch. Wally's still in the medical bay resting, but me and Kaldur and healthy enough to be down here," Artemis affirmed.
"Hey M'gann, do you want to use our magic and telekinesis to do an 'exercise' on Conner and Robin?" I whispered.
She smiled, "Yes, Hello Megan. Why have I not thought of this before?"
"ekam niboR etativel," I screamed.
He was talking to Conner then he floated into the air.
"Ahhhh!!! What the hell?!"
"Hey Boy Wonder, I'm just practicing my spells," I teased.
"Well can you practice putting me down?!?!" he growled.
"M'gann? Your turn."
"Oh yeah." she replied.
She used telekinesis to lift up Conner into the air.
"Seriously?! Let me down!" he demanded.
Artemis started laughing her lungs out and Kaldur showed the slightest bit of amusement.
"NiboR llaf!" He was a little above the ground when I said, "pots ni ecalp!"
I walked up to him. He couldn't move or anything.
"M'gann you can let Conner down now." and with that Conner dropped to the ground.
"Zatanna please put me down," Robin begged.
"Ok"
He dropped to the floor and landed in a weird position.
"Owwww," he screamed.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" I said running up to him. "Are you okay," I said kneeling down to him.
"No, I think I broke my wrist," he whimpered.
"Let me see," I burst out in fear.
I brought to my face so I can see it clearer and he playfully smacked me lightly on the forehead.
"Hey," I yelled at him.
"I'm okay now," he snickered.
He tried to run away, but I pulled on his hand.
"Wanna do some real training," I asked in a serious tone.
"Does it involve me flying into the air?" he questioned me.
"No, we can play a game." I began. "Hey Artemis, Kaldur, Conner, and M'gann! Do you guys wanna play hide-n-go-seek?" The training room was pretty big and had a lot of obstacles to hide behind, so I would be fun.
"Yeah," the all said in unison.
"Robin?"
"I'll be it!" he called. "Rules: no going out of the training room, if you get found you're not allowed to tell the seeker where the other hiders are, and no powers are allowed to be used. I'm counting down from thirty, clock starts now."
Robin started counting in small boxes in area that had one way out. I planned to hide behind him, so when he looked he wouldn't  suspect anything over there.
He finished counting and walked out of the area.
I waited several minutes until I heard him find Artemis. Waited a few more minutes and he found Kaldur and Conner. Then I waited a while until he found M'gann. I still hadn't moved an inch, but I was getting kind of uncomfortable. I peeked my head out of the little corner to see if anyone was there which there wasn't. I walked a few steps outside of the corner until Robin jumped on me from behind.
He squeezed my arms and I flinched. I turned around into him and buried my head into his chest and wrapped my arms around him.
"Oh my god! You scared me," I said in relief.
"Sorry," he chuckled holding me in his arms. I felt him breathe as he laughed and his heart was beating very fast.
I let go when I noticed everyone staring at us.
