Chapter 6- It's alright

Zatanna looked around the room, not seeing anything around. The screams continued and she jumped out of bed. Her bare feet hit the carpet as she ran towards her door. She placed her hand against the scanner, allowing for it to open as she looked down the hallway.

Zatanna hadn't bothered to put anything over her nightie or change, considering that the screams were far more important than clothing at this point.

As she looked down the hall, she could see all the room doors were open; clearly the scream had woken everyone up. She saw Damian and Garfield standing outside the door in their sleepwear, guessing that the screams were coming from that room. Garfield looked extremely worried, and Damian, well Damian always had the same expression

she hurried down towards them, peering around the corner of the door frames, seeing the rest of the team inside with there sleep wear on, which was only a pair of shorts for Dick. It took a lot of Zatanna's concentration to keep her eyes focused on what was more important...at the time.

Terra's head was moving from side to side, murmurs and screams leaving her lips as sweat drops began to form on her forehead. Zatanna watched as Kori reached her arm out to touch Terra. "Kori no." Zatanna said panic in her voice as she grabbed Kori's wrist as it was near meters from touching Terra's arm.

Dick raised an eyebrow as he heard her voice, moving his eyes to her. He tried to hide his blush as he saw what she was wearing. Despite the fact she had just woken up, she looked, well perfect. It took him everything to keep his eyes in the appropriate places, and rubbed the back of his neck, feeling a little guilty.

"Let me." Zatanna said softly, as she Kori ripped her wrist from out of Zatanna's grasp. Zatanna simply sighed and walked over besides Terra's bed. She reached both her hands out, placing them on Terra's temples. Zatanna closed her eyes, allowing her to see everything inside Terra's head that she was thinking of in that moment. It was horrific. That was all that needed to be said.

Everyone began to raise and eyebrow as Zatanna began to hum quietly and sweetly. What Zatanna was doing, was using her voice to enter Terra's mind, and calm the nightmares inside her mind. Something only magic could do. She was able to settle the nightmares, creating different visions to allow for Terra to wake up, needing to make her realized that her dreams weren't happening. At least not in that moment.

Dick remembered her voice. She used to hum sweetly to him every year, when it came to the anniversary of his parent's death or when he simply couldn't sleep. She used to run her delicate fingers through his hair. The thought made him miss her touch more than he knew he should.

Terra shot up then with a gasp tears flowing down her cheeks. Zatanna's humming stopped but she kept her hands on Terra's temples. "It's alright Terra. Nothing going to hurt you." she said softly. She gently placed one of her hands behind Terra's head, brining her head gently against her chest as Terra began to sob against her skin.

Zatanna turned her head to face Dick as she ran her fingers through Terra's short blond hair. Her eyes met his, and he immediately knew what she wanted. He could still read Zatanna like that.

"Come on everyone, back to bed. Big day of training tomorrow." He said as he ushered everyone out of the room. Once everyone but Terra and Zatanna had left, he closed the door and waited outside.

Kori walked over to him, looking at the door then him. "Are you coming back to bed?" she asked him. "Yeah in a minute babe." He said, forcing a smile. She sighed softly and walked back to there room. Both of them knew there relationship had been drifting. Long before Zatanna arrived

Zatanna stayed in the room with Terra for another fifteen minutes, calming her before she fell back asleep again. Zatanna tucked her in bed, then stood up, walking towards the door, opening it before stepping out into the hall seeing Dick waiting passionately, as the door closed behind her.

"Dick, what are you doing?" she asked curiously. He was leaning against the wall, his arms across his bare chest. As he heard her, he stood up straight, letting his hands fall by his sides. "Just wanted to makes sure you two were okay." He answered. Zatanna smiled sweetly at his concern, as she looked up to him. "Yeah she's... we're fine." She said softly, as her eyes accidently moved from his eyes down to his abs and v-line. She cleared her throat, feeling her cheeks burn up slightly as she quickly turned her head away.

"I'm going to get back to bed." She said as she turned around. "Goodnight Dick." She said softly as she walked off.

Dick smirked, noting her blush and where her eyes had recently been. He then watched as her hips swayed as she walked to her room, her hair gently swaying in rhythm with her hips. "Night Zee." He said with a grin, not caring if he used her nickname.

Zatanna smiled to herself as she continued to walk.
