(A/n): I really wanted to make a Christmas chapter with the Team in the Cave. So this takes place during season 1 before (Y/n) and Zatanna officially started dating, so prepare for some awkward moments!

This chapter has no direct relation to the rest of the book. Merry Christmas and I'll get back to regular uploads soon!

*December 24th, Mt. Justice*

3rd Person POV:

Zatanna and Artemis arrived at the Cave, both eager to spend the holidays with their respective crushes. The Dark Knight had convinced Dick to host Christmas in the Cave for the less fortunate members of the Team that didn't have a family to spend the holidays with.

Wally, Kaldur and Dick were setting up presents under the tree in the kitchen while Conner and M'gann worked on preparing some snacks for the group. They opted for small appetizers throughout the evening over a large dinner.

Bruce and Alfred would be watching over the group with Oliver Queen (Green Arrow) and Dinah Lance (Black Canary) taking over Christmas Day.

Both the magician and the archer brushed off snow from their coats and shivered as they stepped out of the zeta tube.

Artemis: "So, what did you get him?"

Zatanna instantly became flustered as she hid the present with (Y/n)'s name on it behind her back.

Artemis laughed at her friend's embarrassment. She knows that (Y/n) hasn't stopped thinking about Zatanna since she first showed up and she knows that he's fallen head over heels for the magician.

Artemis: "Relax would you? You two are perfect for eachother, he hasn't stopped thinking about you.... Hell, everyone saw how distracted he was when you two first met."

Zatanna thought of Artemis's comment as the girls slowly walked out of the training area. Zatanna liked (Y/n) a lot but she hadn't put any thought into what a relationship would look like until now. Would it be allowed by the League or more specifically her father? Despite her fears, she shoved all her negative thoughts away and managed to convince herself that everything would be fine.

Zatanna: "W-well what did you get Wally?"

Artemis scoffed and turned away to hide her blush. The two flustered girls eventually made their way to the kitchen and were greeted by the Team. Alfred entered shortly after, setting the table and taking the presents from the girls and placing them under the tree.

Zatanna began looking around for (Y/n) and her heart sank when she couldn't find him. After all the time the Team spent decorating for Christmas, he wasn't here to celebrate it. Normally she wouldn't be here either but with the loss of her father to the Helmet of Fate, the Team was all she had left.

Zatanna: "Where's (Y/n)? I-I thought he'd be here... he didn't mention anything about having plans..."

Batman: "(Y/n) was asked to help contain an attack on a nuclear power plant on the west coast. We don't know when the situation will be contained."

Zatanna was devastated and the Team knew it, they knew that (Y/n) didn't have any family and the thought of him missing his first Christmas with them hurt a lot.

M'gann moved over to Zatanna, she didn't need to read her mind. Everyone could tell she was upset.

M'gann: "When will he be back?"

Dick: "We don't know. The Cult of the Cobra launched the attack. The Division was the closest to the crisis and (Y/n) was ordered to help."

Zatanna sighed and walked into the kitchen and started helping Conner get drinks for everyone, trying to distract herself from the sinking feeling in stomach.

Artemis walked over to Wally and Kaldur and commented on the beautiful tree, talking loud enough for Zatanna to hear; trying to spark a conversation on a less depressing topic for the group.

Wally: "Yeah it really is great."

Kaldur: "This is my first Christmas, we do not celebrate this holiday in Atlantis."

M'gann: "We don't have anything like this on Mars, I'm so glad I get to spend time with everyone! W-well almost everyone...."

Wally: "I wonder how (Y/n)'s holding up?"

Artemis: "It must suck, being away from everyone on Christmas Eve."

Kaldur: "Let us hope he can make it back here soon."

————————————————————————

*North of Crescent City, California*

(Y/n) is wearing a poncho overtop of his gear and staring out at a lake in the freezing cold downpour of rain. The storm started about halfway through the muddy trek to the base camp that the Cult of the Cobra launched their attack from.

The initial attack on the power plant was blunted by the plants security forces and the Divisions quick reaction force. The QRF secured the plant and (Y/n) was called in along with a handful of agents to secure the camp and capture as many members of the cult as they could.

Kelso trudged through the ankle deep mud to stand beside the agent she mentored.

Kelso: "These ponchos don't keep you dry for shit. At least the boots are better, god do you remember the ones you started with?"

(Y/n): "I try not to."

Kelso noticed the gloom in the younger agent's voice and tried to cheer him up. (Y/n) simply didn't respond and Kelso, who was already exhausted, gave up her attempts to cheer him up.

Kelso: "Fine stay out here, but don't complain to me when you get a cold."

Kelso left (Y/n) and started walking back to the tent set up by local police to process the captive cult members.

(Y/n) soon decided to head back and see how much longer they were going to be stuck here. Generally in these types of situations the investigation can drag out for days, and the agents with families waiting will be dismissed first. Unfortunately he didn't have any biological family or spouse waiting for him so he wasn't expecting to be dismissed.

(Y/n) stepped under the large tent and walked past the group of cultists that were smart enough to surrender. He arrived at the small command station which really was just a police officer with a few radios and a laptop. The area was crowded with SWAT, local police and the few agents that were left, all working to get done as fast as possible before the rain could wash away valuable evidence.

They weren't so much worried about the evidence part, the odds that all of these criminals end up before a court is very low. Most will likely be sent off to Guantanamo Bay or some other government black site, attacking a nuclear power plant with the intentions of turning it into a nuclear bomb tend to have that effect.

(Y/n): "Gentlemen, how quickly can we expect to be done here? The longer we take the less useful any intel we get will be and there's the whole getting back to our families thing."

Agent Ethan Owens turned and smiled at the younger agent. He has short brown hair, caucasian skin and brown eyes. Owens is one of the few agents that (Y/n) has been raised by. He was in Kelso's squad before getting promoted to squad leader himself and assembling a new team of agents. He specializes in emergency medical aid and is often dispatched to areas where natural disasters have recently stuck.

Owens: "I didn't think it was possible for Maxwell's pet project to have human feelings."

(Y/n): "It amazes me that a woman willingly had sexual relations with you."

Owens: "Has and it was a Christmas miracle."

Kelso: "Speaking of sexual relations..."

(Y/n): "Don't even start..."

Owens: "What did you get her?"

(Y/n) shifted uncomfortably and tried to hide his blush of embarrassment.

Kelso: "It's a really sweet gift. He went through a lot of effort to get it made and it's very pretty."

(Y/n) picked up a nearby report and pretended not to be listening to their conversation as he fumbled through the pages.

Owens: "Well, are you going to keep me waiting?"

Kelso: "It's a custom pocket watch, beautifully designed with a flower carved into the back and just to show how much he worries and cares about her, it's synced with ISAC's network so she can call for help if she gets into trouble."

Owens: "Is that even allowed?"

Kelso: "I pulled some strings."

Owens: "That's actually a good gift."

(Y/n): "Yeah, it's amazing what people with an IQ over 30 can accomplish."

Owens: "I didn't know Maxwell programmed you to be sarcastic."

(Y/n): "Oh he didn't, this bad habit is all from the two of you."

Owens: "Funny, you want to get something to eat?"

(Y/n): "Yes, I'm starving."

Kelso: "You two have the weirdest friendship."

Owens: "Hey, it appears the only useful skill I've passed onto him is my brutal sarcasm."

Kelso: "And yet your psych eval says it's your biggest flaw."

(Y/n) and Owens made their way to another tent that had a small box of ration packs. The two groaned at the terrible selection but finally figured that it was better than nothing and each grabbed one.

————————————————————————

*Back in the Cave*

The Team had settled down for the evening, watching various Christmas movies after snacking on food all afternoon. The Team kept checking for updates on (Y/n) but couldn't find any information. Surprisingly Wally was worse than Zatanna for checking. Constantly worrying about the gift he got Artemis, (Y/n) had reassured him that it was a good gift but he was starting to panic. Wally hadn't told anyone else, especially Dick because the boy wonder has a bad habit of figuring out what the gifts are. He was worried about Artemis finding out and ruining the surprise but far more terrified at the thought of her hating it.

Wally was about to get up off the couch and call (Y/n) for a fifth time, beating Zatanna's three calls and Dicks one.

M'gann placed a mistletoe underneath the entrance to the hallway and lured Conner over to it by asking for his help with bringing over trays of cookies. When she kissed him it caught everyone off guard but the Team managed to stay mostly silent barring Wally's 'Ow' after Artemis elbowed him to get him to stop staring at the couple. After Artemis elbowed Wally they briefly made eye contact but turned away, their faces bright red.

Dick snickered and was trying to stop himself from laughing at his two Teammates. Kaldur simply smiled at his younger friends and leaned back, enjoying the movie.

————————————————————————

*Nuclear Power Plant*

The wind was insane on the small trail and the rain had now completely soaked him.

(Y/n) was forced to walk all the way back to the power plant as the helicopter pilot decided that it was too windy to try and fly to the police tent. Fortunately he had already made several trips and it was just the agents and a few local police left to walk back. Unfortunately, the rain had picked up and (Y/n) was now covered in mud from the waist down. He was exhausted, hungry and cold, the perfect combination for Christmas Eve.

Owens: "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"

(Y/n): "Owens I swear to god! Say it ONE more time!"

Owens: "You've got to work on your patients, (Y/n). Fathers need to be patient with their children."

(Y/n) chose to ignore Owens as he and Kelso broke down laughing. The wind was occasionally splattering mud up against his chest while he trudged down the trail.

Kelso: "Common kid, lighten up. We'll be back at the power plant within the hour and then we can get out of this rain."

Owens: "I may not be a genius but I don't think it's the rain that's bothering him."

Kelso: "Look, I know it sucks being away from everyone at a time like this and it's a terrible job but someone has to do it."

(Y/n): "Yeah, I know. I also know that there's no way we're getting out of here anytime soon."

Kelso: "I would say you can call and talk to them but the storm is messing with our comms."

(Y/n) didn't respond. He just kept trudging through the mud, determined to get out of the rain and cold as fast as possible.

*One Hour Later*

The three agents stomped back into the main office building. They tried to get all the loose mud off their gear though they quickly discovered that would be impossible.

Kelso: "ISAC, status report."

ISAC: "Downloading, stand by."

Waller: "Evening Ms. Kelso."

Owens: "Oh great. To what do we owe the honour?"

Kelso: "Mrs. Waller. What are you doing here?"

Waller: "I'm assuring the president the situation is under control."

Kelso: "Well, let me rephrase, why are you standing here? We pass the reports up the chain of command and you could've reassured the president with a phone call or video conference from your home office."

Waller: "I'm a member of the committee that oversees your work with the CIA and I'm going to take this time to analyze your performance and handling of the situation. I'm here to conduct a thorough investigation to make sure all the proper regulations and rules of engagement were followed by you and your agents."

All three agents silently curse, knowing that this will only add to the time they will have to spend at the power plant and that working with Waller will be a massive headache.

Waller: "My men will be taking over the situation, take off your muddy gear and sit in the cafeteria. I'll get you when I'm ready."

(Y/n) abruptly left the group without saying anything, he arrived in the cafeteria and tossed his mud covered poncho onto a table and sat down at another.

Owens and Kelso walked in shortly after and sat down with (Y/n) after tossing their ponchos on the same table the young agent did.

Owens: "That lady is the Grinch."

Kelso: "I've already called Maxwell, hopefully he can tell Waller to piss off and let us go home."

(Y/n): "The Team's going to hate me for missing Christmas. I even told them I would be there and helped set everything up."

Kelso: "Oh come on. You couldn't possibly have known that this was going to happen and your friends sound like the most forgiving people ever. If anything they'll lock you in that Cave base and force you to spend time with them."

(Y/n) smiled at the thought of spending uninterrupted time with his friends. His mind soon wandered to Zatanna and he hoped she'd be able to forgive him for missing Christmas.

(Y/n): "You know, it's only been a few short months and I already can't imagine my life without any of them. I'd give anything to be there right now."

The agents were interrupted by one of Waller's men who ordered (Y/n) to go to the command room.

The young agent did as he was told and followed the man into the control room. There he saw Waller sitting in one of two chairs holding a clipboard and writing on one of several pages attached to it. (Y/n) sat down in the other chair and waited for Waller to finish writing.

After about five minutes of Waller writing and not acknowledging his presence (Y/n) was starting to get annoyed.

(Y/n): "Good evening Mrs. Waller."

Waller: "I see you, and I'll get to you when I'm ready."

(Y/n): "Mrs. Waller, I would really appreciate it if we could start this soon. I have Christmas plans with people that are really special to me and right now they're wondering where I am."

Waller: "I don't think I need to remind you that this job is more important than any plans you've made with the super powered freaks you call friends."

Anger immediately began to boil within the young agent and he glared at the overweight woman.

(Y/n): "Mrs. Waller, kindly watch your tongue."

Waller: "Or what?"

(Y/n): "You'll fucking lose it."

————————————————————————

*At the Cave*

The Team was in the middle of debating whether or not to stay up and wait for (Y/n). They all wanted to but they weren't sure if he would even be coming back tonight.

Conner: "Look, I have no problem staying up and waiting but are we sure... you know... he's even coming?"

Wally: "Hey, I'm waiting for him. And I believe he'll be here. It'll be a regular old Christmas miracle."

Zatanna was silent, sitting at the island and staring at the Christmas Tree set up in the corner of the room. Her gaze was focused on the present she had wrapped for (Y/n). She dreamed of the Team opening their gifts together with the fireplace roaring, like how she used to spend Christmas with her Dad.

Zatanna suddenly snapped her gaze to the couches and the Team in the middle of their heartfelt debate

Zatanna: "I'll stay up a bit longer. Everyone else can go to bed, he wouldn't want us to stay up and be all tired for tomorrow morning."

Artemis: "Wally and I will stay up."

Dick: "Hey, I'm not going anywhere."

M'gann: "Well, we aren't leaving and if he isn't here... we'll all go get him."

Kaldur: "Then it's settled, we will all stay."

The group all smiled at their resolve while Artemis dragged Zatanna off the bar stool and to the couch with the rest of the Team.

————————————————————————

*Back at the power plant*

Amanda Waller was doing her best to tear (Y/n) to shreds. Yelling about his blatant disrespect for authority, the young agent just sat there and took it. His mind wandering to his friends and the guilt he was facing by rushing off to fight in a battle that was half over when he got to it and in all honesty could've been handled without him.

Waller: "ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!"

(Y/n): "Mrs. Waller, I meant no disrespect but you-"

Waller: "I WHAT?! YOUR ENTIRE AGENCY IS A DISGRACE AND BUILT UPON A DISREGARD FOR AUTHORITY!"

The door to the control room suddenly slammed open and Kelso stormed into the room followed closely by Owens. Kelso had a fury in her eyes matching that of an overprotective older sister rushing to defend a helpless sibling.

Kelso: "What the FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"

A chill shot down (Y/n)'s spine, he has never seen Kelso this angry before. He would be lying if he said it didn't terrify him.

Waller stood up in an attempt to rival Kelso's fury. She slammed her clipboard down as her men rushed to block Kelso from advancing. Owens tried to step between Kelso and Waller's men but he was shoved aside by both.

Kelso struck first, sweeping the legs out from the first and punching the second across the jaw. Both men fell to the ground and Kelso grabbed (Y/n)'s wrists and pulled him behind her.

Kelso: "You don't get to bash MY agents on Christmas! You DON'T get to insult his family and you ESPECIALLY don't get to insult the agency that's sacrificed more than you ever will!"

Waller was about to explode with rage. In her entire career nobody has spoken to her like this and after years of being the sole person in power she hated being spoken to as anything other than a superior.

Kelso: "We will reschedule this at a time that isn't inconvenient for us and we can conduct the interview with the entire review board. Now as you said, your men are taking over the situation here so we will be leaving. Merry Christmas, Waller."

Kelso turned and walked out of the room with the same fury she had upon entry. (Y/n) and Owens followed close behind, not saying a word.

Kelso threw open the exit to the main control building and stomped down the metal stairs, the other two agents hurrying to put on their mud covered ponchos and following.

Kelso: "Owens, did you call for our ride?"

Owens: "It'll be here any moment."

(Y/n): "Hey, Kelso.... Thanks."

Kelso: "She had no right to talk to you like that or insult your friends. The way you talk about them, it's easy to see that you think of them as family."

The group stood on a helipad as the sound of their helicopter grew closer and closer until they saw the vehicle's lights cutting through the rain.

The helicopter soon touched down and the three climbed aboard without looking back. (Y/n) let out a massive sigh of relief when the power plant disappeared as they flew away.

Kelso: "Did you get it?"

Pilot: "It's in the crate under your seat."

(Y/n): "What is?"

Kelso smiled and pulled out the crate. Mixed in with the medkits, spare ropes and extra gear was a small box wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper. Kelso took the box out and handed it to (Y/n).

Kelso: "It's your gift for Zatanna, I had the team back at base pick it up and bring it with them to save us a stop."

(Y/n): "Thank you so much."

Kelso: "I hope you'll take the time to introduce me some day."

(Y/n): "I promise I will."

Kelso: "Alright kid, let's get you home."

————————————————————————

*At the Cave*

Kaldur made hot chocolate for the group as they sat around sharing stories from their various holidays spent over the years with their families.

M'gann: "What about you Artemis, any funny Christmas memories you want to share?"

Artemis recoiled back, caught completely off guard, she was about to get up until Wally put a hand on her shoulder. She glanced over and saw that he was incredibly nervous and was about to tack it back and apologize. Suddenly Artemis did something that shocked Wally and the Team. She moved over, closing the small gap between her and Wally and snuggled into the couch, leaning against him.

Artemis: "I.... I Uhh, don't have any pleasant memories of Christmas. In recent years my mom tried to give me a good Christmas and I did everything I could to help... but it's hard."

M'gann: "Oh... I'm sorry I didn't know..."

Artemis: "It's alright, I know I don't talk much about my family.... It's because not a lot of it is good."

M'gann: "Well, you have us now. We'll have a great Christmas together!"

M'gann hugged Conner, Dick then spoke about his first few Christmases at Wayne Manor and how Bruce would dress up as Santa and put presents under the tree while he and Alfred put out milk and cookies.

Zatanna was the last to share. She stared down into the half empty cup of hot chocolate and smiled.

Zatanna: "We used to watch A Christmas Carol. My mom loved it and we would watch it every Christmas Eve... my dad and I would watch it even after she was gone. He did his best to keep all the traditions going that my mom started, but he travelled so much, working with the League and helping Mr. Nelson. I-I spent more than a few Christmases alone."

Zatanna wiped a tear away and stood up, setting the mug of hot chocolate down on the coffee table. She walked around the island and pretended to be busy cleaning up the empty trays. She wanted to keep her mind off of the topic of her family. It hurt too much to think about.

M'gann got up and joined Zatanna in the kitchen. Zatanna was fumbling with a tray, trying to put it in the dishwasher but her shaking hands were causing a small racket and preventing her from putting it in. M'gann grabbed the tray and gently set it on the counter, then wrapping her arms around Zatanna and pulling her into a hug.

M'gann: "Come sit down, we'll all watch the movie like your family did."

Zatanna: "O-ok."

————————————————————————

(Y/n) waved goodbye to Kelso and Owens before rappelling down the rope from their helicopter. He ran to the zeta tube not caring to watch them fly away. The computer scanned him and (Y/n) closed his eyes, then stepped into the bright light a short moment later.

(Y/n) emerged in the Cave to find Alfred and Bruce talking in the training area. The two turned their attention to (Y/n) and shut off the holographic computer. They looked at the mud covered agent with his Christmas present in one hand and a small duffel bag in the other. His helmet and poncho were covered in mud as well as his boots. His black pants were covered in mud from the knees down thanks to the poncho saving his waist area. The orange glow from his watch and the node on his right shoulder were the only source of colour on his clothing. The agent laughed as he set his bag and the present down.

(Y/n): "Ok let's face it, this isn't the worst I've looked in the past month."

Alfred: "It's good to see that you're alright."

(Y/n): "How is everyone?"

Bruce: "They miss you."

(Y/n): "Well, I've kept them waiting long enough."

Alfred: "Yes, but I would appreciate it if you would wait here for a moment while I fetch you something that isn't covered in mud."

(Y/n): "Oh... well thank you."

*A few minutes later*

The Team got several snacks and drinks ready and started the movie. The group had just settled in when they heard footsteps approaching.

(Y/n): "Sorry I'm late and Merry Christmas everyone."

The Team jumped up in excitement, completely ignoring the movie. Zatanna shoved the bowl of popcorn she was holding into Artemis's chest, almost spilling half of it.

Zatanna was the first one to get to (Y/n), racing across the living room and tackling him in a hug. The agent leaned back and lifted Zatanna slightly off the ground. The two spun around once and (Y/n) gently placed her back down as she giggled with joy.

The rest of the Team joined in the group hug as Zatanna buried her face in (Y/n)'s ugly Christmas sweater.

The group slowly broke the hug and moved back into the kitchen. (Y/n) didn't even get a chance to sit down before he was bombarded with questions.

Wally: "Where were you?!"

Zatanna: "We were worried sick, we called several times!"

Artemis: "Is that a cut on your head?!"

(Y/n): "Woah, relax guys I'm okay. Sorry I couldn't call, believe me I wanted to be here sooner. The Cult of the Cobra had signal disruptors and the storm wasn't helping. Yes, it's a small cut but my helmet took most of the hit so it's okay."

Zatanna: "YOU WERE SHOT IN THE HEAD?!"

(Y/n): "Well it was a stray round that ricocheted off of a rock and the cut is actually from when I fell after it hit my helmet but I'm good."

Zatanna pulled (Y/n) to the couch and pushed him down onto it. She then grabbed his head with both her hands and started taking a closer look at the cut. The agent tried to stifle his laughter while reassuring her that he was fine.

Wally stepped in to save (Y/n) the embarrassment of having Zatanna examine his entire head.

Wally: "I'm sure he's fine, I'll take him for a second and we'll go get... Alfred to make sure the cut's clean and all that."

Before (Y/n) could protest Wally pulled him out of the room and down the hall. Artemis was suspicious about why Wally was acting weirder than normal and decided to slip away and follow the two when she thought nobody was looking.

Several minutes after the speedster and agent left, Zatanna watched Artemis follow the two boys and decided that she should follow. Kaldur was about to ask where everyone went when Dick suddenly burst out laughing, drawing his attention away.

Dick: "Oh come on, you haven't figured it out? Wally told (Y/n) what he got Artemis for Christmas and now he's freaking out about it."

M'gann: "Why would he be freaking out... unless he..."

Dick: "Yeah, he does."

————————————————————————

Wally pulled (Y/n) around the corner and the two stopped just outside of his room. Wally opened the door and the two stepped into Wally's room, which at the moment was chalked full of souvenirs and Christmas decorations.

(Y/n): "Wally, I was checked out by my own medics, so what is this really about?"

Wally: "It's the gift! What if she-"

(Y/n): "What, doesn't like it? Wally, I know for a fact she likes you. So why don't you let me take it and I'll put it under the tree and you two..."

Wally: "Us two can what?"

Wally handed (Y/n) the rather tall rectangular box that anyone could guess its contents if they knew the recipient.

(Y/n): "Really, could you make it any more obvious."

Wally: "Hey, I put it in a box, at least I didn't wrap it without making an attempt to hide it."

(Y/n): "I suppose there's that."

Wally: "What did you say about Artemis and I?"

(Y/n) smiled and stepped back so that he was close to the door. He suddenly jumped out of the room and reached over to the side of the door. Artemis squealed as the agent quickly pushed her into the room.

(Y/n): "I don't know Wally, use your imagination."

Before (Y/n) backed out of the room with Wally's gift for Artemis, he made eye contact with Wally and then quickly looked up to the mistletoe M'gann hung in everyone's room just above the doorway. Wally followed his gaze and then his face went white as (Y/n) shut the door and walked away.

Artemis: "Uhh... hey."

Wally: "H-hey..."

Artemis was blushing and couldn't make eye contact as she struggled to spit out an excuse to explain her eavesdropping. Wally finally built up the courage to do what he wanted to.

Artemis: "I...uh I'm-I was-Mhmmm!"

Wally lunged forward and pulled Artemis into a kiss underneath the mistletoe. Artemis caved into it instantly and wrapped her arms around his neck. Seconds later her legs were pulling him into her and her back was pressed up against the door.

Artemis moaned in approval as she was pinned between the cold door and Wally's warm embrace.

————————————————————————

(Y/n) was smiling and proud of his work setting the two up as he walked back towards the kitchen. He suddenly stopped when he noticed the door to Zatanna's room was open.

The magician had hid in it moments after Artemis was pulled into Wally's room, fearing someone would leave it and she would be discovered. She didn't have time to close the door before (Y/n) entered the hallway.

(Y/n) stepped into the doorway and instantly found Zatanna, who was in the middle of panicking and trying to find a hiding spot.

(Y/n): "Zee?"

Zatanna: "Oh (Y/n), hey... what's up?"

(Y/n) smiled and set Wally's gift down, leaning it on the wall.

(Y/n): "What are you doing? Were you following us?"

Zatanna: "Nothing! No, no I wasn't."

Her answer lacked all sorts of confidence and (Y/n) knew it. He smiled as he backed out of her room and Zatanna let out a massive sigh of relief, though she was slightly disappointed and didn't know why.

Zatanna walked out of her room and saw (Y/n) leaning on the wall examining Wally's gift. Her heart skipped a beat and she started panicking internally.

(Y/n): "If I told you to guess what this gift is, what would you guess?"

Zatanna: "I-I don't know..."

(Y/n): "Hmm..."

Zatanna: "Come here... I need you to help me grab my gift... for M'gann."

Zatanna was proud of the confidence that she portrayed in her voice but again (Y/n) saw right through it. He smiled as he played along and followed Zatanna back into her room.

(Y/n): "Your gift for M'gann is already under the tree, though how hard you tried to get me in here is cute. So Zee, what do you really want?"

Zatanna froze and blushed hard as several inappropriate thoughts rushed through her head. She wanted (Y/n) and spun around to face him, her cheeks still bright red and eyes wide.

(Y/n) saw how embarrassed she was and a hint of red found its way onto his own cheeks. Zatanna stepped forward and was welcomed by the agent's arms pulling her in. He swiftly brought his hand to the back of Zatanna's head and pressed his lips against hers.

Zatanna melted into the kiss instantly and wrapped her arms around (Y/n)'s neck. The magician softly moaned into the agent's mouth, she was completely lost in the moment and loving every second of it.

After a short moment (Y/n) started to lean back, about to break the kiss but Zatanna refused to let that happen. She grabbed his head and deepened the kiss, exploring his mouth as her moans picked up.

Zatanna brought her hands to (Y/n)'s chest and pushed him back until he hit the wall. The agent groaned against Zatanna's lips as she pushed herself into him as much as she could.

(Y/n) held Zatanna close while she explored his mouth, their shared moans filling the magicians room. When Zatanna brought her hands down to rest on his shoulders they broke the kiss, their breathing heavy as they were out of breath.

(Y/n): "Zatanna, I think you know this... but I really like you... and I want to spend as much time as possible with you... god I have no idea how to say this."

Zatanna: "No no, you're doing so good. I really like you too and I want to spend as much time as possible with you. But seriously please go on, it's super sweet."

Zatanna's mocking voice brought a smile of embarrassment to (Y/n)'s face. He couldn't help but laugh.

(Y/n): "Zatanna, spending time with you has made me the happiest I have ever been..."

Zatanna: "Okay, that's corny as hell."

(Y/n): "Well I told you I have no idea what I'm doing."

Zatanna: "I just love teasing you, you're doing great."

(Y/n): "Thank you Zee. Would you be willing to give a relationship a shot? I-I know I have no experience in relationships but I'm willing to try if you are."

Zatanna's eyes sparkled as she grabbed (Y/n)'s head and smashed her lips against his. After a deep and passionate kiss she tore her lips away and stared into the agents (e/c) eyes.

Zatanna: "Yes, I'm more than willing. I really like you (Y/n) and I've been hoping you'd ask the question for a while."

The two shared another brief kiss before deciding that they should join the others and that's when (Y/n) realized the door was still open. His eyes widened in fear at the thought of somebody else hearing his corney and terrible attempt at expressing his feelings.

When they stepped into the hall (Y/n) sighed in relief, Zatanna giggled and took his hand in her, holding it tight. Before the two could walk back to the kitchen the door to Wally's room slid open and he and Artemis walked out.

Artemis was straightening her jacket and didn't notice them right away. Wally however, noticed (Y/n) and Zatanna instantly. He stopped dead in his tracks as his face turned as red as his hair and his eyes widened

Artemis: "Are you coming or wh-"

Artemis froze when she noticed what Wally had moments ago. Artemis blushed as hard as Wally and the hallway was dead silent until (Y/n) started laughing which caused Zatanna to giggle.

Artemis: "What?!"

Zatanna: "Nothing... You two are so cute together."

Artemis managed to blush harder while Wally scratched his head in embarrassment. The archer's face was as red as Wally's hair and that just made (Y/n) laugh more.

Wally: "Well, we could say the same thing about you two."

Artemis: "Yeah. Look at you two, holding hands, it's adorable."

Zatanna: "Adorable?"

Artemis: "Yep, you guys are the perfect couple and I'm going to tell everyone that you two were making out."

Zatanna blushed hard and couldn't come up with a response. (Y/n) finally got his laughter under control and tried to calm the girls down and assure them that everything's alright.

(Y/n): "Alright, alright. We both had some fun. Now let's get back to the kitchen before anyone comes looking for us."

The group agreed and went back to the kitchen. Zatanna refused to let go of (Y/n)'s hand and stayed as close as possible while they walked back. Artemis and Wally trailed behind, intentionally slowing their pace.

Zatanna and (Y/n) arrived back in the kitchen and everyone instantly turned their attention to the pair. (Y/n) tightened his grip on Zatanna's hand and blushed as everyone silently took note of the two holding hands while standing closer than normal.

Dick: "Finally. Dude, it took you long enough to tell her."

(Y/n): "That's not funny."

Zatanna: "Aww you're all flustered."

Conner: "You should've seen him during our training sessions. He would be all confident until someone mentioned you and then he had no idea what to say."

(Y/n): "Okay, that's enough."

M'gann: "Oh when we first met you, he was linked into our psychic conversation but was so starstruck by you he didn't even realize."

(Y/n): "Please stop, I'm begging you."

Zatanna: "No no, keep going."

Kaldur: "Remember the time you were so scared about bringing Zatanna to fight the Red's."

Zatanna: "Oh I remember that! You were so worried about upsetting my dad."

(Y/n): "Oh and who had to talk to your dad so you weren't grounded for life?"

Zatanna: "True, true but you did it because you like me."

(Y/n) sighed in defeat as the Team poked fun at his behaviour towards Zatanna and pointed out how obvious his massive crush on her was.

Wally and Artemis walked into the kitchen but unlike Zatanna and (Y/n) they chose to stand an awkward distance apart and tried to act like nothing happened.

Dick: "Where were you two?"

(Y/n): "Making out in Wally's room."

Zatanna: "Yep, it's true."

Dick: "I knew it!"

Wally: "Dude!"

Artemis: "W-well (Y/n) and Zatanna were making out in her room!"

Zatanna: "This isn't about us anymore."

Zatanna took (Y/n)'s arm and led him to the couch, snuggling up against him once they sat down.

Artemis and Wally were now subjected to the same playful scrutiny that (Y/n) and Zatanna experienced moments before.

Once they survived the onslaught of embarrassment they both sighed but forgot about where they were standing.

Wally: "Are we done?"

Dick: "Yeah, we'll let you sit down."

(Y/n): "You're not done yet."

(Y/n) pointed to the mistletoe above the entrance to the doorway which happened to be positioned directly above Artemis and Wally.

The room fell dead silent as everyone waited to see what the speedster and archer would do.

Wally: "How could you?"

(Y/n): "You'll thank me later."

Artemis: "Oh just come here already."

Artemis grabbed Wally's wrists and pulled him close to her. They shared a long kiss and then broke it, both their faces incredibly red as their noses were inches apart.

Wally: "Merry Christmas, Artemis."

Artemis: "Merry Christmas."

The two then sat down at the far end of the couch (Y/n) and Zatanna were on.

(Y/n): "Well, that's one hell of a souvenir."

Artemis and Wally blushed hard yet again as the Team broke down laughing.

*Small Time Skip*

At the end of the Christmas movie marathon the Team had called it for the night and went to bed. Wally, Artemis, Zatanna and (Y/n) all volunteered to clean up.

The group was just finishing as Dinah and Oliver walked in.

Dinah: "Oh, we didn't think anyone would be awake when we arrived."

Wally: "We just wanted to clean up so you two didn't walk into a mess."

Oliver: "Convenient that it's you four."

Dinah elbowed Oliver in a joking manner and it was enough to peak Wally's interest in the topic.

Wally: "Well... what do you mean?"

Oliver: "Oh come on, you're going to make me say it."

Wally: "I don't-"

(Y/n): "Wally, they know."

Wally: "What?! How?"

Dinah: "It'll be a bit more obvious when you're a little older. Now get to bed... in your separate rooms."

Oliver: "Relaxe, pretty bird. They're all 18."

Dinah: "Ollie... so not helping."

The two couples blushed as they walked past their 'Den mothers' for the following day.

The group intentionally walked at a slow pace all the way back to their rooms, talking the entire time.

Zatanna and Artemis broke off from (Y/n) and Wally. They started whispering and giggling, clearly coming up with a plan but refusing to tell the others.

Wally and (Y/n) stopped in front of the speedsters door and started whispering while looking at the girls. 

Wally: "What do you think they're planning?"

(Y/n): "To be honest I feel like we're going to find out soon."

Wally: "Great. Well I'll see you tomorrow."

(Y/n): "Goodnight."

Wally entered his room as the girls stopped giggling and waved goodnight to the boys. (Y/n) smiled at their childish behaviour and walked into his own room, completely unaware of what the girls were planning.

(Y/n) quickly got ready for bed and turned off the lights, climbed into bed and closed his eyes. He had maybe five minutes of silence before his phone vibrated on his nightstand.

(Y/n) groaned as he reached over and grabbed his cell phone. He hesitated a moment, fearing a message from the Division that would tear him away from his friends and from Zatanna.

He sighed, unlocked his phone and tapped on the text message. He wasn't surprised to find that the message was from Zatanna.

Zatanna (Text): "Hey, you still up?"

(Y/n) (Text): "Yes. What are you and Artemis planning?"

Zatanna (Text): "Don't worry about that,just stay awake."

The agent sighed and closed the app on his phone. He relaxed into his bed and wondered what Zatanna was planning. Despite having no idea, he had a feeling he would find out soon.

Wally was in his room, in a similar position to (Y/n). Having received a cryptic text from Artemis moments ago, he had no idea what to think.

———————————————————————————

🍋Lemon Scene🍋
(Merry Christmas and you're welcome)

In (Y/n)'s room the agent had rolled over onto his stomach and reached across his bed to slide his phone back onto the nightstand. He decided to wait and see what Zatanna had planned, though he wouldn't have to wait long.

A puff of smoke appeared out of thin air beside (Y/n)'s bed and disappeared just as fast. Zatanna emerged from the dissipating cloud of smoke. (Y/n) jumped and spun around in his bed, blankets tangled around the lower half of his body

Zatanna stood at the edge of his bed staring at the topless agent. The magician wore a dark blue robe, it was impossible to tell its exact colour scheme in the dark room.

(Y/n) gaze drifted down to Zatanna's body and how the robe highlighted her curves and features. The robe stopped a few inches above her knees and was made of an expensive silk.

Zatanna's mischievous smile brought (Y/n)'s gaze back up to her face. He was blushing hard and couldn't take his eyes off her.

He finally got the strength to whisper-yell at Zatanna.

(Y/n): "Zee, w-what are you doing?"

Zatanna: "Well, I'm getting what I want for Christmas."

(Y/n)'s heart skipped a beat as Zatanna moved closer.

————————————————————————

In Wally's room, moments before Zatanna's appearance in (Y/n)'s, the speedster was laying on his bed staring up at his ceiling. Wondering what Artemis meant when she sent him a text saying 'stay awake, Baywatch.'

His questions were answered when a puff of smoke appeared above his bed and Artemis fell down on top of him.

Wally couldn't move and wasn't sure he wanted to. He's had a massive crush on Artemis for most of the year and only Dick and (Y/n) knew, or so he thought. Artemis groaned while pushing herself up and straddling a speechless Wally.

Artemis had on a green robe similar to Zatanna's blue one but the archer had hers very loose, to the point where Wally could see that she had nothing on underneath. A sight that further excites him and left him speechless.

Wally finally built up the courage to whisper at Artemis, who was now staring down at the topless speedster with a sluty grin.

Wally: "A-Artemis... w-what are you doing?"

Artemis: "Shhh. Just lay there and enjoy it."

Artemis leaned down and pressed her lips against Wally's. Artemis grabbed Wally's hands and brought them to her waistline. She then swiftly undid the robe, exposing her bare chest to Wally.

The speedster moved his hands to Artemis's back and pulled her down on top of him while Artemis deepened the kiss and grabbed either side of his head.

————————————————————————

Back in (Y/n)'s room, Zatanna moved closer and climbed on top of the bed. She positioned herself above (Y/n), grabbing both his hands and pinning them above his head.

Zatanna: "Can you be quiet for me."

(Y/n): "I won't be a problem and I would like to remind you that if we get caught we're dead."

Zatanna: "Eh, we won't be the only ones having fun tonight."

Zatanna cut off (Y/n)'s follow-up question by gently placing her finger on his lips and shushing him. Zatanna let go of his wrists and kept the finger on his lips as her other hand slowly undid the knot on her robe.

Zatanna moved her hand along (Y/n)'s bare chest, tracing her fingers along his abs. As the robe fell open Zatanna's entire body was exposed to (Y/n)'s eyes.

He was completely speechless and Zatanna blushed hard. She was incredibly nervous and had never done this before but she was determined to not let that get in her way. She'd been dreaming about what she wanted their first night to be like and nothing was going to keep her from fulfilling her fantasy.

(Y/n) reached up and with both hands and cupped Zatanna's exposed breasts. Moving in a circular motion he massaged both of them and the sensation combined with his touch sent chills down Zatanna's spin.

Zatanna closed her eyes, lips quivering in anticipation. She let out a soft moan that filled the dark room and then gasped as (Y/n) pulled her down onto his chest. Their lips briefly connected as Zatanna tossed her robe off the bed.

(Y/n): "You need to keep quiet."

Zatanna: "Mhmm I-I'm trying..."

(Y/n): "Well you're going to have to try harder."

(Y/n) gripped Zatanna's ass and gently pushed her off of him. He freed his lower half from his tangled mess of bedsheets and slipped his boxers off. Zatanna was quick to grab his throbbing member and stroke it while he placed both his hands on Zatanna's head and pulled her into a passionate kiss.

Zatanna brought her hands to (Y/n)'s back and pressed her bare body against his, her heart pounding with a mix of nerves and desires flooding her head. She hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do next. A sheepish moan slipped out of her mouth as (Y/n)'s tongue broke past her lips and started exploring her mouth.

(Y/n) picked up on Zatanna's hesitation when her hands stopped moving and stayed in place on his back. He broke the kiss, a trail of saliva connecting their lips. Zatanna was sitting in his lap and even though his stiff member could feel how wet she was he wanted to make sure she's okay.

(Y/n): "Zee, we don't have to do anything."

Zatanna: "I'm alright. I just haven't done this before but I'm glad I'm doing it now."

(Y/n): "You sure you're o-Mhmm!"

Zatanna smashed her lips violently against (Y/n)'s, jamming her tongue into his mouth and exploring her man's mouth. She was determined to make this the best night of their lives, even if they had to keep the noise to a minimum.

(Y/n) caved into his own desires and leaned back down, allowing Zatanna to dominate their movements and pacing. The magician sat up, straddling her man and positioning herself so she could slide his hard member into her womanhood.

When she finally pushed herself down on (Y/n)'s cock she let out a startled gasp that morphed into a moan of pure ecstasy. (Y/n) quietly groaned and reminded Zatanna to keep the noise down.

Zatanna: "S-shit... I-I'm too tight..."

(Y/n): "You're doing great... just... let's go slow."

Zatanna: "Holy fuck...Mhmmm this feels so good, Ohhh!"

Zatanna slowly started bouncing, taking more of (Y/n)'s cock each time. (Y/n) decided to thrust up and help Zatanna take more. Not even a minute later and he was considering pulling Zatanna down and covering her mouth, her moans were building and making too much noise.

Zatanna gasped and dug her nails into his chest as she suddenly and violently released all over his dick. Zatanna pushed herself off (Y/n)'s cum covered cock and collapsed onto him. As she snuggled into his chest, (Y/n) started gently kissing Zatanna's neck while she stammered out apologizes in between gasps for air.

Zatanna: "I-I'm sorry... I-it's just... I've never..."

(Y/n): "Shhh, Zee it's okay. You did great, we can be done now if you want."

The magician took a deep breath and kissed the agent's cheek. One of her hands traveled across (Y/n)'s chest while the other played with his hair.

Zatanna: "You're so sweet. But, we're just getting started."

(Y/n) rolled over and let Zatanna catch her breath as he positioned himself overtop of her. With one gentle push he slid his member back into Zatanna's soaking wet pussy. The magician clamped her hand over her mouth in a vain attempt to stifle her moans.

Zatanna: "Mhmm Mhmm ahh ahh!"

Her soft moans picked up as (Y/n) increased the pace of his thrusts. Her beautiful black hair was all disheveled as sweat drops formed on her face. The sound of soft, wet skin slapping filled the room when Zatanna's moans weren't drowning it out.

Zatanna: "I-it feels ohhhh.... Mhmm so good! Oh-Mhmm!"

(Y/n) stopped thrusting and pulled Zatanna up, holding her against his chest as her arms loosely wrapped around his neck.

He quickly kissed Zatanna to stop her from making too much noise. (Y/n) knew he needed a way to stop Zatanna from screaming out in pleasure and stopping wasn't an option that either of them would be willing to put forward.

Zatanna broke their kiss and moved her head to (Y/n)'s neck. Biting and sucking it, determined to leave her mark on him. The agent groaned as Zatanna gently bit his neck before sucking on the same spot.

Suddenly an idea popped into (Y/n)'s head. He smiled and hoped he would get the pronunciation right, backwards words aren't the easiest thing to say even if it was only a few words. (Y/n) stopped moving and tightened his grip on Zatanna, not allowing her to move and whispered to her.

(Y/n): "Be a good girl and repeat after me. Gag em."

Zatanna froze, a chill shot down her back. She pried her lips off (Y/n)'s neck and hesitated for a brief moment, before making up her mind. Her heart pounded as she cast the spell, her excitement bringing a massive smile to her face as she looked up into her agent's eyes.

Zatanna: "Y-yes master. Gag dna dnib em."

Zatanna's arms were tied behind her back by a rope that appeared out of thin air. At the same time a cloth gag wrapped around her head, successfully muffling her cries of pleasure.

(Y/n)'s face flushed red. The combination of Zatanna's smooth and seductive voice calling him master combined with the sight of her now tied up beneath him to leave the agent speechless.

(Y/n) gently laid Zatanna down and slowly started thrusting. He soon increased the pace and with each increase in speed, Zatanna moaned louder. The cloth gag worked well enough but she still had to put up a significant effort not to cry out.

Zatanna's moans only caused (Y/n) to fuck her harder. Her eyes rolled back as drool slipped past the bottom of her gag.

Zatanna: "Mhmmm ohhh hmmm!"

(Y/n) continued, thrusting violently in and out of Zatanna's now dripping wet pussy. The magician was completely consumed by pleasure, her body was convulsing as she was overwhelmed by another orgasm.

Zatanna: "MHMMMM HMMMM OHHHH!"

Zatanna's face was covered in sweat and drool had soaked the bottom half of her gag. (Y/n) ordered her to roll over onto her stomach and she obeyed without hesitation. The agent smiled as he grabbed her bound wrists and held her in a doggy style position as he inserted himself into her pussy once again.

After gently pushing in his entire cock, Zatanna let out a long soft moan. (Y/n) slapped Zatanna's ass with his free hand as he started thrusting just as fast as before. Zatanna let out a yelp that quickly morphed into several moans of pleasure.

By now neither of them cared about being discovered but they weren't the only ones.

To say Zatanna was having the night of her life would be an understatement. (Y/n)'s had turned her fully into a cock drunken slut, craving the pleasure he gave her. Her eyelids were heavy and Zatanna looked exhausted, her face was covered in sweat as her body shook from the relentless assault on her pussy that she was helpless against.

Zatanna bit down hard on the cloth gag and moaned into it. By now the drool soaked gag did little to cover up the noise. Zatanna's moans picked up as (Y/n) spanked her ass once more.

Zatanna had no idea she would love being used like this. In the past months she had fantasies about what she would do with (Y/n) and more specifically what he would do to her. But she would never admit to any of her fantasies and she did not possess the courage to tell him.

She had fallen head over heels for him and couldn't bring herself to ask him to do these things with her. She was so relieved when he ordered her to gag herself she couldn't help but throw the binding in with the spell.

Zatanna: "Mhmm mmhhrrn!"

Zatanna knew she was close. The constant thrusting into her pussy combined with the feeling of being bound and helpless to stop him fed into her fantasy and her pleasure. She was getting tighter and tighter on (Y/n)'s now throbbing member.

The magician used what little energy she had left to push herself back against (Y/n) as he continued to thrust into her. At this point she was certain she'd struggle to walk in the morning but she couldn't care less.

Zatanna: "Immm soo clommm!"

Though her words were slurred because of the gag, (Y/n) knew what she was trying to say. He felt himself getting closer as well and forced himself to thrust faster with what little energy he had left. Zatanna's moans picked up with each powerful thrust. (Y/n) slapped Zatanna's ass and her eyes rolled back as she came all over his cock.

Zatanna: "OOOHH MHMMM YYMMM!"

(Y/n) kept thrusting in and out, putting as much power as he could into the thrusts while Zatanna rode out her orgasm.

(Y/n) knew he wasn't going to last much longer. Zatanna's pussy was still tightly wrapped around his throbbing cock even after her climax moments ago.

The pair stopped for a brief moment and (Y/n) took the opportunity to roll Zatanna onto her back. She looked up into his eyes and shivered as he teased her entrance. A long moan slipped out of Zatanna's mouth as (Y/n) pushed himself back into her.

Zatanna: "Mhmmm mhmmm MHRRR!"

Zatanna tried to lift her hips up when (Y/n) started thrusting harder but gave up and let the agent use her. The dominating and controlling look in his eyes sent a chill down her spine as she stared up at him with her eyes full of lust. She was helpless to stop him, they both knew it and she absolutely loved it.

Zatanna: "Mhhh mhrrr! Ohhhmmmmm!"

(Y/n): "Take it! Be a good girl and fucking take it!"

Zatanna: "MMMHHH! OOOOHHH!"

Zatanna tried her best to follow her orders but she couldn't take it. She blushed hard and continued to moan out against her will as she was subjected to the relentless fucking.

Zatanna started pushing herself back against (Y/n)'s thrusts. Betrayed by her body as she submitted to him. Sweat ran down her face as he relentlessly fucked her. She knew that she was in a hopeless situation. For the rest of the night she was destined to be his personal slut and she loved it.

(Y/n): "I'm going to take this gag out, and you're going to tell me who you fucking belong to."

The magician blushed hard as (Y/n) tore the gag away. Her blue eyes immediately found his own (e/c) ones and she screamed out in pleasure. 

Zatanna: "MHMMM! MHHHH! Oh! Oh FUCK yes! I'm yours! I'm your fucking slut! Use me please, I belong to you!"

(Y/n) smiled down at Zatanna and clamped his hand over her mouth, silencing her moans and letting the sound of their fucking fill the room.

(Y/n): "Oh... oh fuck, Zee!"

Zatanna: "MMHHHH! MHMMMM!"

Zatanna shreaked into (Y/n)'s hand as he suddenly forced himself in as deep as he could before hitting his orgasm and pumping Zatanna full of his white hot cum.

The magician's eyes rolled back as she moaned into her agent's hand.

Both the magician and the agent were panting as (Y/n) tore his hand away. Once the agent finally came off the high, he pulled out of Zatanna's cum filled pussy and admired the body of the magician he ravaged.

Zatanna: "F-fuck... mhmmmm I'm s-so full..."

(Y/n): "I-I'm sorry, Zee. I got carried away."

Zatanna: "No. I fucking loved it, all of it. I loved feeling helpless and under your control. You're so good at dominating me. And don't even worry about me getting pregnant. I was smart enough to put a spell on preventing that before coming over."

(Y/n) felt his cock jump in excitement as Zatanna's arms found their way to his chest after he released her from her bonds.

Zatanna: "I don't think I'm going to be able to walk tomorrow."

(Y/n): "Well there's no point in stopping if you're already screwed for tomorrow."

The agent leaned down and pressed his body against Zatanna's, letting her catch her breath as he brushed her hair away from her neck.

As Zatanna softly moaned and panted (Y/n) gently kissed her neck after quickly finding her weak spot. She couldn't hold in the moan and her body shook as (Y/n) left another mark on her neck.

Zatanna: "T-this was the best night ever.... Merry Christmas (Y/n)."

(Y/n) removed his lips from Zatanna's neck and pulled her as close as he could. She instantly snuggled into his embrace, her naked body pressing against his as her lips gently pressed against his cheek.

(Y/n): "I'm hoping we can have more nights like it. Merry Christmas Zatanna."

————————————————————————

The next morning Zatanna and (Y/n) awoke to a loud banging coming from his door. Their eyes shot open as they heard Dinah's voice yelling at them from the hall.

Dinah: "(Y/n)! Get up right now!"

They both started to panic as (Y/n) rolled out of bed and put on a pair of pants. Zatanna quickly grabbed her robe and disappeared in a puff of smoke after whispering a spell.

(Y/n) quickly threw on a t-shirt then grabbed a towel and draped it around his neck to cover up the marks Zatanna left. He took a deep breath to calm his rapidly beating heart and opened the door.

He still wasn't fully awake but he could tell Dinah was pissed.

Dinah: "Where is Zatanna?! I thought I told you to sleep in your own rooms! I'm not going to be responsible for anyone getting pregnant!"

(Y/n): "Well you did tell us that and I'd imagine she's still in her room, it's what... like 8:40? I'd still be asleep if it wasn't for you."

Dinah stormed past (Y/n) and briefly looked around his room, finding nothing out of the ordinary and most importantly, Zatanna's absence. The bed was a mess, sheets mangled and the pillows compressed but Dinah held her tongue. (Y/n)'s heart was racing as Canary studied the room.

Without uttering a word, Dinah retreated to the hall as everyone groggily walked out of their own rooms. Zatanna wore her robe from the night before and had her hair all disheveled the same as Artemis, though the archer's was far more noticeable.

As Dinah turned her attention back to (Y/n), the agent noticed Artemis quickly turn to Zatanna and whisper a "thank you" under her breath.

(Y/n): "Morning everyone, Merry Christmas."

Dinah glared at the agent who forced a dumb smirk onto his face and the 'den mother' stormed off back to the kitchen.

(Y/n) sighed and went back into his room to have a quick shower. Everything went better than he'd expected, though he was almost certain it wasn't over.

After getting dressed (Y/n) joined the entire team in the kitchen. They ate a massive breakfast that Oliver had gotten up early to make and it was absolutely amazing. M'gann dragged everyone over to the couches so they could open the presents almost immediately after breakfast.

M'gann: "This is going to be amazing!"

M'gann rushed to the tree and started handing out the presents. Everyone watched Artemis's reaction as M'gann handed her the giant box from Wally.

The archer raised an eyebrow in slight confusion as Wally shifted nervously in his seat on the couch.

Everyone watched in anticipation as Artemis tore off the wrapping paper and opened the box. Zatanna snuggled up next to (Y/n) on the couch and watched as Artemis slowly removed a beautiful wooden bow from the box.

Wally: "I-I know you probably have a lot of them but I-"

Artemis: "I love it."

Artemis smiled as she stood up and held the bow in a shooting position. She gently ran her fingers over the beautifully carved designs of small arrows and flowers.

As Artemis was examining her bow, (Y/n) noticed several marks on her neck and instantly remembered about his own. He began to panic as he had no way of covering them without looking suspicious. Zatanna had just brushed her hair to cover her exposed side and snuggled up against (Y/n) to hide the other side.

As the morning dragged on and the team opened their gifts from one another, (Y/n) could feel Dinah's eyes burning a hole in the back of his head. He stayed perfectly still, hoping that if he didn't move she wouldn't comment on it.

Eventually Artemis handed Zatanna the gift from (Y/n). The magician lightly shook the box with a massive smile on her face before tearing off the wrapping paper.

The agent found himself holding his breath as Zatanna gently took the pocket watch out of the box. She carefully examined it and smiled, her eyes sparkling with joy as she looked into (Y/n)'s.

(Y/n): "I hope you like it. It took an alarming amount of effort to get it made and it can serve as a distress signal if you ever get into trouble. Just twist the glass face counter clockwise until it turns blue."

Zatanna: "It's beautiful. I love it."

Soon (Y/n) was handed a gift from Zatanna. He took the gift and started removing the wrapping paper. He was shocked to find a pretty wooden box. The box had carvings of a forest scene on the top with birds flying above the trees and foxes roaming the ground.

The box was slightly larger than a shoe box but only two inches tall. The agent carefully opened the box and found several handcrafted silver throwing knives inside.

Zatanna: "I-I really wasn't sure what to get you... but I figured you'd like something like this."

(Y/n): "They're beautiful, where did you get these?"

Zatanna: "New Orleans. My dad has a few friends there and I went to visit a few weeks ago."

After spending a few minutes examining the knives, (Y/n) placed them back into the box and set it on the coffee table.

(Y/n): "I just want to say, this has been the best Christmas ever. Thank you guys so much."

The Team smiled and Zatanna snuggled into (Y/n)'s side. The pair smiled as they gazed up at the large Christmas Tree with the Team wishing one another a Merry Christmas.
