Kal's chest was a solid wall of warm muscle that protected her from the world and cocooned her with his strength. He large hands were rubbing her back warding off the chill of the hallway and pulling her closer into his embrace. She found herself relaxing by the smell of the ocean on his skin. Her breathing evened out and her sobs died down to mere sniffles as he hushed her, his chest rumbling as he spoke. She felt so comforted and at peace as she looked up at him, knowing that she could trust him. But the kiss he gave her was still stuck in her thoughts. She wanted to reassure him that it wouldnt change anything between them, but the thought made her uneasy to say it out loud. She didnt want to be the girl he saw as a little sister, but as the grown woman she was. Did he regret the kiss and that why he ran out? Could he only see her as a little girl who spoke backwards and used magic? She watched his face but couldnt read the emotions in his eyes, which frustrated her to no end. As her fingers traced his tattoos he shivered and she had to bit her lower lip to keep from pushing him into the room and kissing her way up the eels on his arm and show him how to really kiss her.<br/><br/>Zatanna's eyes widened as he spoke and her heart melted at how open and honest he was being with her. Kal was nothing but good to her. Why couldnt she fall in love with him like she did Dick? She listened and nodded her head a few times to what he was saying and rolled her thoughts about for a few minutes. Maybe he was right and Dick was just upset with the whole Batman disappearance and needed comfort. But why not come to her first? Did he not want to trouble her? She was more a part of the Wayne family then the others she thought. But then why had Bruce neglected to send her letters to Dick? Why had Dick never answer her last letter? She Let out a long, loud sigh and cleared her head of all her unanswered questions which were only working her up more.<br/><br/>Kal's words corked a smile out of her and let out a soft laugh, "... stop flirting Kal, I see the way you look at Raven. I know she's more of spot light while Im more of a glow stick when were in the same room together." When his arms were around her again she gave in and wrapped her own around his waist and breathed deep. She let a few moments elapse and finally broke the silence. " The other night Dick came to my room. We talked and I asked why he never answered my letters I sent him. He said he never got any of them, except the last one. But still never wrote me. Never acknowledged me. He kissed me and I took it as we were over. I had a talk with Raven tonight. She told me that Kara and Dick, well they were together before the meeting this morning, and there was some sexual tension in the training room showers. Not even 12 hours after dumping me he found someone else. Nothing happened but the feelings were there and it hurt just the same. And later on he made a pass on Raven and upset her. Then came to me and asked me to give him a second chance, when i was more then ready to move on and put my feelings for him away." She licked her dry lips as her glassy eyes looked up at him. "I told him I needed time, I was so happy that he finally came to me and wanted to be with me. But after learning I was the last one he came too..." She cupped her face and nestled into him. "Im just so lost and hurt and dont know what to do...."
