She joked about the Twilight vampires as she took another sip of coffee.<br/><br/>Zatanna watched Raven and nodded as she spoke about how they met and now were a bit better acquainted with one another. She could feel this was a serious topic Rave was bringing up so she set her kidding aside and gave her friend her full attention.<br/><br/>As soon as she mentioned her running from Dick's room she gave a smile and was about to stop her to tell her Dick had already explained. But Rave had beat her to it and was already in a pattern of telling her. Her mouth dropped a bit when she herd that Raven had cheated on Dove and she was now leaving. And that she had cheated with Kara. She put a hand on shoulder to give some comfort to her to show she cared about her as she continued. "Im sorry to hear that.."<br/><br/>Her heart stopped as she mentioned Dick and her throat grew tight as Raven explained that he wasnt himself and was having problems with stress, and wondered why she never noticed. She cursed herself for throwing her own pity party while he was hurting and Raven had to be the one to confront him and give him an ear. "I understand you two are close, he would feel more comfortable talking with you then me, with how I acted today at the meeting. Thank you for being a friend to him, Raven"<br/><br/>The next sentences sent a freezing chill down Zatanna's spine and through her blood. Her hand pulled from Raven's shoulder as if she had burnt her. Wide eyed and pale she listened and slowly shook her head. She was lying, she had to be... But Raven wasnt that type of person. She was the team leader she was looking out for her friends. She felt awkward and unsure for a moment as if she was in a dream. Her body felt weak and not her own. Everything was a void around her and she could feel the emotions in the pit of her stomach rising with every second. This was not a dream and she was really hearing all of what Dick failed to mention to her. She gripped the counter and listened till Raven was finished and a few second nodded her head slowly, in an almost eery way. She tried to reason out the whole thing but her emotions kept clouding her thoughts.<br/><br/><em><br/>How could he? He was'nt sincerer when he came to you tonight. He wanted sex, love, affection. And she was the last one on the damn list. Again. Was this what she was? A last resort? She should have known, what did she have that would tempt him? Nothing! She was a low grade magician who did shows in Vegas, even the league saw no use in her. She was a nobody, no matter how many shows she did, or how many seats she sold out, nothing she did would make her shine for Dick to see her. Nothing, not even year long letters that told him how much she loved him and wished to see him. </em><br/><br/>Zatanna cupped her face in her hands and took slow even breaths, but the feelings kept rising, it burned her lungs and broken heart and took place of the sorrow and misery that had been there a few days before. She could feel it in her throat as the tears trickled down her cheeks and she clenched her teeth. Anger.<br/><br/>Zatanna swatted at the mug in front of her as it flew crashing in the the wall, coffee and pottery splashing everywhere. Her whole body was vibrating and shaking. Her fists were  so tight they were white. Her eyes were a deep shade of blue that almost ate up her pupils, and her body was so bond with nerves a breeze could break her. She had to move had to release they energy the hurt the feelings, had to get it out. But she was stuck in that one spot, Raven's words revolving around her head like a unstoppable tornado.<br/><br/><br/>Then the thought of Raven next her sent her into a panic, thought came through, she was next to her, and could feel her pain. "Ecaep..." She worked passed numb lips and the magic worked its trick, soothing her and relaxing her tense body leaving the scars of Raven's words behind. She let the first loud sob take her and the feeling started to subside back down and the magic vanish. She leaned over the counter in her arms as her body shook. Sniffles and cries soon died down a long while later and she slowly sat up and wiped her face. "Sorry, Rave... I'...I"m mess myself... I keep trusting him. Putting my heart out on a line and he makes this choices, that lead me to think Im not important." She wiped her eyes unsure how much a girl could cry, but knew she had cried over Dick then anything in her entire life. "It's not completely his fault..." She played with the ring her father had given her, the one he gave her mother. The beautiful silver knotted band shined in the light and the oval mother of pearl center remind her how much her father loved his wife. "Ive been there, following his shadow... Ive never looked at anyone else that way I do Dick. Ive try dating other guys, but i find myself comparing them to him..." She shook her head and smiled at Raven. "Thank you for telling me. That couldnt have been easy," she tucked a stubborn curl behind her hair, "Especial when i started to blow up." She turned in her chair and took both of Raven's hands in her own and gave the best smile she could with the truck load of sorrow she was carrying. "Im glad to have you as a friend, Raven. Im so very blessed to have met you and be apart of this team. Your all so good to me I dont deserve it, but Ill cherish it  non the less. DOnt listen to Dick, you are not whore, far far from it. You knew what he wanted and were looking out for bother of you, and I respect that. Im hurt you were willing to... but I cant be angry since we really werent together anyways. But Im sorry for you and Dove and hopefully Kara will make you happy, and sooth what Dove left behind. " She patted her hand and wiped another stray tear from her cheek.<br/><br/>She felt so alone and abandoned now even with Raven there next to her. Time seemed to slow down seconds dragged on inside her head as she evaluated her situation. She didnt know what she was going to do now that they were going to be going to Gothem today and she would have to answer to Dick now. But she would deal she had done it before, it would nt be so hard now that she was armed with the truth. She took a slow breath and remembered Kal would be joining them also. She had yet to have a minute to process what happened in his room or even if he really felt anything for her. Was he just being another 'Dick' and lusting after someone when he couldnt have who he really wanted. She looked at Raven and wondered if it would be inappropriate to ask, but through the thought and decided to ask anyways. "Raven? Did something happen between you and Kal the other day?" She blushed, which was clearly visible from her pale complexion. "I only ask because, early today he kissed me and Im just not sure how to read that... he clearly likes you, I just feel like Im second best. But I thought I meant something to him, like a little sister. Why would he do that?" She titled her head down, as if the floor had the answer instead of the person in front of her.
