Zatanna's eyes widened at this new discovery.
That was her mother?
They had almost the same face. Same eyes. Same...just about everything.
The only thing is that it couldn't be her! Her father said she died in a car crash! It's impossible. But, what if...she just left? Zatanna shook that from her mind. Why would she leave her father?
The raven haired magician clenched her fists and stomped away. Not to her room. Not to the boys room. But to just...anywhere. Why? She didn't know. She was taught all her life that a mother was supposed to be there for you. Supposed to...love you. But she decided to leave- no fake her death! And leave her daughter and husband.
All she had was her father and he left when she was 14 years old. The only one's who were there for her were her friends. And they left at some point. The only difference is they came back.
Giovanni will come back soon enough. And he'll go straight to his daughter. When she made Robin leave he came back the next day. For her. But no. Her mother left and didn't come back. She had to come to her.
"Zee?"
Her head jolted up and she stopped. Were those tears streaming down her face? God she hopes not this is the last thing she needs. Zatanna slowly turned and saw Dick's worried face
He put his arms out to comfort her but pulled it right back. She tackled him into a hug crying into the crook of his neck.
Why was she crying over this?
Dick hesitantly put his arms around her.
Were they happy tears? Sad tears? Mad tears? God she didn't know
"Zatanna!"
Dick turned his head not letting go of Zatanna. It was the blonde worker. "How do you-" she just hugged Zatanna whom let go instantly and shook her head "Wh-why?"
The blonde woman bit her bottom lip. Looking for something to change the conversation. What was she supposed to say? Zatanna hated her right now and all the raven haired teen needed was to be away from her mother. Sindella guiltily sighed and turned around. "I'm sorry." she muttered loud enough for them to hear and began walking down the hall.
Dick turned to Zatanna. "Wh-what just happened?" Zatanna sniffled and wiped the tears from her eyes. "That's my...she's my..." Tears began coming up once again and Dick got ready to hug her once again. She once again jumped into his arms. "Mom...she's my mom."
The team made their way into the cruise Zatanna still...surprised...from last night's event and only Dick knew. She refrained from telling anyone and Dick knew that he should do the same. Artemis had been by her best friend pestering her to tell what was going on. Wally was basically jumping his way to the pool and jumped in. "I'll go to our rooms and change." Dick stated. He was the only one that didn't wear a swimsuit getting onto the cruise. Zatanna flashed him a smile on his way out.
He made twists and turns before finally getting to the door that would lead them to one large room. He opened it and quickly went to the master bedroom and put his stuff there,claiming it his and Zatanna's. Once he was changed he made his way to the door.
"Hey babe, look at this." Wally yelled from the pool as he did a flip off the diving board. Artemis sarcastically clapped and Wally's smile fell. "You can do better baywatch." he raised his eyebrow and got right back to the diving board but this time there was a small line. He groaned and impatiently tapped his foot.
"Such a goofball." Artemis stated taking another drink from her lemonade. She and Zatanna were just sitting back and planning on getting a tan. Not that Artemis needed one. "Where's Dick?" Artemis rolled her eyes. "There are like a million and a half dudes hitting on us and you're worried about your boyfriend?" Zatanna breathed out a laugh and shrugged. Earlier as they were waiting to get lemonade two guys hit on them. They flirted and when the two boys asked them out they hit them with.
'Excuse me I have a boyfriend.'
Which made it better was that they did the voice too. Their faces were priceless. As they went to their friends who were laughing way to hard. It had been out there for about an hour and Dick still wasn't there. It made her worry, they were out here to find a crime lord and their most precious member (In her opinion) was lost.
She felt someone kiss the top of her head she gasped and with a jump turned around. "God, Dick don't do that! Scared me half to death." Dick was to busy cackling to hear her lecture.
He put a hand to the top of his head and swung it down. "Yes ma'am." He said and clicked his tongue before flipping into the pool. Zatanna threw her head back and sighed. "I want more lemonade but the past Wally gang is waiting for their next victims." Artemis laughed at the name. "Hey, don't be such a sissy, and if they hit on you, tell Dick. I'll get my camera out and this'll go big." Zatanna laughed and got out of her seat.
"Get me one too!" Artemis called
Zatanna walked up to the line and scratched her exposed stomach. It was plain black with the nightwing symbol. She yawned and in the backround heard another sarcastic clap from Artemis.
"C'mon Dick! You grew up as an acrobat! A backflips the best you can do?!" Words couldn't express how much Zatanna loved her best friend. She faced the person in front of her once again waiting for her turn to order. She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned her head. It was a dirty blonde boy with shaggy hair. He flashed her a smile.
"Did you come from heaven? Cause you sure are an angel." she laughed "Yes I died eighteen years ago, just like that pickup line." Zatanna answered shooting up an eyebrow.
She ignored the pleas of the boy who wanted to impress his friends and ordered two lemonades. She paid for them and went to Artemis setting the two drinks down. "Get your camera out." Artemis had an eager smile on her face and grabbed her phone from the table next to her. Zatanna walked over to the edge of the pool. "Hey babe?"
He swam up to her and got out noticing Artemis had a camera. Zatanna told Dick her scenario and he laughed. "I'll only do it for the internet." he lied and walked up to the group of boys.
He squeezed his way into the middle of the circle and they all looked at his with confused faces. "Hey your that Grayson." The guy who hit on Zee stated. "Yeah and you're the guy who hit on my girlfriend." He widened his eyes and put his hands up in defense. "Not like that man."
Let's just say the video went viral.
