"Everyone! Put your name into this hat!" Kaldur yells, pulling a bowl from behind his back.
"That's a bowl." Wally points out.
"Bowl, Hat, Flamingo, just put it in." I scrawl my name in my usual neat half cursive hand-writing, and draw a tiny bat symbol in the corner.

Kaldur pulls out a name.
"Okay, first is...Zatanna!" She stood up and walked to the centre of the room.
"So do we just...say the song and-"
"Just say it and we'll do the rest." Kaldur interrupts.
"Okay." She flips her hair a couple of times. "Blank Space. Taylor Swift." Seriously? Is there a more generic song?

"Nice to meet you. Where you been? I could show you incredible things. Magic, madness, heaven, sins. Saw you there and I thought, oh my god, look at that face." Her voice is silvery, and melodic, but somehow...flat. I'm actually looking at Dick right now, and boy, is he unhappy. I don't think anyone but Wally and I can tell though. When Dick's embarrassed, he blushes. When he's embarrassed and angry and upset, his ears go the colour of my hair. "You look like my next mistake. Love's a game, wanna play?" Oh man. Just listening to this makes me want to vomit. I can't imagine what it's like for Dick. "New money, suit and tie, I can read you like a magazine. Ain't it funny, rumours fly. And I know you heard about me, so hey, let's be friends, I'm dying to see how this one ends." Dick nudges me.
"When have I ever worn a suit?" He whispers in my ear.
"Like every single day at school." I reply.
"I meant around these guys." Zatanna narrows her eyes at us as she sings, and seems to sing louder just to get Dick's attention back.
"Grab your passport, and my hand. I can make the bad guys good for a weekend."
"I'm a 'bad guy'?" Dick asks. I shake my head.
"Nah. You're fourteen. You can't be a bad guy until you're at least sixteen." I say sarcastically.
"I'm fifteen in two months." Dick protests.
"And I'm sixteen in eight months."
"So it's gonna be forever! Or it's gonna go down in flames! You can tell me when it's over, if the high was worth the pain. Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane. Cause you know I love the players. And you love the game."

M'gann's POV
[I thought Robin was dating Zatanna?] Conner says in my head.
[He is.] I answer.
[Then why is he talking to Batgirl like that?]
[I don't know] I answer again.
[Can't you read his mind or something?] Conner asks.
[I can't do that!]

Barbara's POV
Finally, Zatanna's finishes her song.
"Now it's...Wally!"
-------------------------
"Artemis!"
-------------------------
"Raquel!"
-------------------------
"Okay, it's Batgirl's turn." I stand up, and rack my brain for an idea. "Human. Christina Perri." I say quietly. "And just remember! I warned you all that I'm tone deaf." I take a deep breath.

Dick's POV

Ever since I realised that I have a crush on Babs, I haven't been able to look at her in the same way. I notice how her hair frames her face, and how her ocean blue eyes sparkle when she's happy.
"I can hold my breath." Holy crap, she's whelmingly good at singing. "I can but my tongue. I can stay awake for days, if that's what you want. Be your number one." She blushes. "I'm going to stop."
"Keep going." I say absentmindedly.
"I can fake a smile. I can false a laugh. I can dance and play the part, if that's what you ask. Give you all I am." Is she looking at me? "I can do it. I can do it. I can do it." Babs pauses for the crescendo. "But I'm only human. And I bleed when I fall down. I'm only human. And I crash and I break down." Wait, is this a sad song? "Your words in my head, knives in my heart. You build me up and then I fall apart. I'm only human." Does she think I'm dating Zee? Crap. I'm definitely not feeling the aster.

----------------------------------------------

"Robin. You're the last one." Last one. Yeah, last one to receive the best friend award. I am such a crappy friend.

"Angel with a shotgun, The Cab." I say.

"Get out your guns, battle's begun. Are you a saint or a sinner?" Babs still has a blank expression. "If love's a fight, then I shall die, with my heart on a trigger." Her eyes are starting to sparkle a little. "They say before you start a war, you better know what you're fighting for. Well, baby, you are all that I adore.
If love is what you need, a soldier I will be." She's half-smiling, half-crying. "I'm an angel with a shotgun, fighting 'til the war's won. I don't care if heaven won't take me back." Now she's definitely smiling. "I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe. Don't you know you're everything I have?" Babs looks like she's going to cry now.
"And I wanna live, not just survive tonight."
