Chapter 24 - 24 Robin and Zatanna (2/2)

The fourteen year old was interested in Dick Grayson, but he was interested in Cassie who was both more mȧturė and more beautiful than the fourteen year old. Zatanna didn't doubt she would be just as equally pretty as her at sixteen, but was slightly jealous that she wasn't slightly older if anything.

She face reddened and she tried to stop that train of thought.

”C'mon Zatanna! Don't get distracted by Cassie and the others. Just because their older and have developed a bit more, doesn't mean that you've got less to offer! Just wait a couple years and you'll blow their socks off!”.

The magician tilted her head slightly and looked down at the pot holes before whispering something under her breath causing her eyes to glow a dull blue.

”Holy crap!”.

Her voice was loud enough to break Dick out of his trance, and he turned around and looked up at Zatanna whose eyes were glowing slightly.

”Hmm? Have you found something Zatanna?”.

He stood up from his kneeling position and came closer to the fourteen year, who smiled slightly at the attention.

She nodded.

”Yeah, you know how Lancer uses those crimson red spears? The one's that leave a trail in the air? I can see those trails”.

Dick's eyes widened before his monotone expression turned into one of happiness and he hugged the magician.

”That's great Zee! You're awesome!”.

The girl blushed at the praise and smiled at his words.

”The trail seems to lead to Manhattan. If we can find were it leads, maybe we can find this Lancer, and find Rider at the same time”.

Zatanna nodded and the pair immediately ran to the Staten Island docks.

To Robin, he may just capture the nemesis of the Team and bring the group closer together, getting closer to a certain demigod as a result.

To Zatanna, she may have just given herself a boost to her confidence as well as her level of importance within Dick's mind.

The distance between them and their target slowly shortened.
