Chapter 5- Awkward beginnings
One of the main reasons Zatanna was here with the titans, was for the purpose of helping Terra. Someone she had yet to meet. However, it wouldn't stay that way for long.From Chapter 5- Awkward beginnings
The sliding door to the living room soon opened, revealing a girl with short blonde hair. She wore a simple pink t-shirt and light brown shorts. Zatanna could only guess that it was Terra. Zatanna smiled softly over at the younger girl. In return, she received a raised eyebrow and blunt question. "Who are you?"
Zatanna kept her smile. "My names Zatanna." She said softly. "You must be Terra. I've heard amazing things about you." She stated sweetly. Terra simply scoffed, rolling her eyes. "I doubt that." She said as she picked up an apple from the bench, and then left as soon as she had came.
Zatanna sighed softly, realizing that was not a good start and not how she intended things to play out.
Dick looked over at Zatanna, seeing the disappointed look in her face. He felt somewhat pained to see her like that. So, he walked over to her, placing his large, yet gentle hand against her shoulder. "Don't worry. She'll warm up to you." He said, before a small smile appeared on his lips. Zatanna looked up to Dick, unable to hold back her smile. His words were comforting, but his hand against her body was far more so.
Time went on, the day going slowly. Zatanna spent most of it with Garfield, considering he was the only one willing to chat. She used the fact that he was a chatterbox to her advantage. She asked him questions about all the individuals on the team, trying to understand there likes and dislikes. At one stage she regretfully asked a question about Dick and Starfire.
Unfortunate for her, Garfield wasn't as stupid as she thought. A smirk formed on his lips, causing Zatanna to instantly regret brining it up.
"I heard about you two." He stated. "You and him were together before him and Starfire were, weren't you?" he asked playfully.
"Yes, we were." She replied, letting out a light sigh. "How did you know?" she asked curiously.
"Well..." he began. "They way he looked at you in the room. Its almost the way he used to look at Starfire, but a little different." He said, which caused Zatanna to blush. Zatanna listened closely to that 'use', making her curious as to why it was no more. "Also I have a friend in the Young Justice League." He added a few moments later with devilish grin. This caused Zatanna to prick her head up; curious to whom he was talking about.
At that very moment, Nightwing stepped into the room, leaning his shoulder against the doorframe. "What are you talking about?" he asked with a smirk. "We were talking about yo-" Garfield began, but was cut off by Zatanna's hand covering his mouth. "We were just talking about the team." She added quickly, in which mumbles could be heard from Garfield still trying to speak. "Okay..." Dick said as he leaned back off the doorway. "Anyway, dinner's ready. I suggest you get down there before it goes." He said with a smile, before turning around and walking back out the door. Once Dick was clearly out of sight, she released her hand from Garfield's mouth. "You're totally crushing on him still." The green boy said as he stood up and ran down to the main room. Zatanna sighed softly, before standing up, slowly making her way to the main room
It was an awkward dinner, her having to sit across from Kori. Nothing much was said. The only thing heard was the chewing of Garfield on a chicken wing. Terra rolled her eyes, as she finished, getting up from the table with her finished plate. "Awkwardest dinner ever." She stated before walking to the kitchen and placing her plate in the sink.
Zatanna soon followed, forcing herself to say 'goodbye' to everyone. She then left the room, glad to soon find herself in her own one. She showered, hung up her outfit, and slipped into a red silk nightie, with no bra, simply for comfort.
She slipped under the light blue sheets, rolling over and tightening the blankets around her body. It didn't take her long to drift off to sleep, though it didn't take her long to wake either.
The sounds of screams echoed through the halls, causing Zatanna to shoot up in fright.
