July 13th, just moments after the defeat of Poison Ivy and Mammoth. Watchtower.

"Come on, come on, come oooooon! Ha! Got ya! Oh no!"

Bickering could be heard from the living quarters of the team's section within the Watchtower, sounds of electronic gaming heard alongside the voices. Rex and Beast Boy were currently playing video games with one another, Jaime and Bart cheering them on and awaiting their turns.

"Gonna beat him, Your HP is at 1%...Aaaaaaaaand" Garfield focused more, trying to break Rex's attempt at guarding for the rest of the game to deliver the final blow. However Rex's eyes shifted around, his finger glowing with biometric patterns as his technopathic abilities came into play, effectively shutting off both controllers and putting the console into sleep mode.

"Whoaaaa, what happened?" Rex asked, with a very fake tone in his voice.

Garfield blinked and looked at the controller. "Dude! I just got these! What gives? They aren't supposed to shut off like tha-"

"You're a technopath?" Bart asked, causing Rex to blink and sheepishly grin at the irritated Garfield.

"I win by default then!" Garfield said, putting the controller down and laying back some. "Also...You're a technopath too? I thought you just built the machines and weapons and stuff"

"Nah. I can hack and manipulate technology as well, Even Alien technology if I wanted to. My powers did become more powerful at one point when dealing with Van Kleiss back at my own world" Rex explained as his hand began to buzz with electric sparks.

"Ayyyye, Wooo! Rex, its good to have you aboard man!" Shazam said, walking in and ruffling all their heads. "Just got back from a little meeting with the League. They said some pretty good things about you in there" Shazam explained, picking up a controller.

"Really?" The 17 year old had an expression of slight shock. He had assumed they simply didn't mind having him along but saying so many good stuff?

"Yeah, even Batman said you were a worthy asset to the side of good and yada yada yada, Do you know how hard it is to get Batsy's commending like that?...Also he managed to get a blood sample from you in your sleep while you got comfortable with all of us" He continued, chuckling upon his own words as Rex raised an eyebrow.

"Uh...Weiiiiiiiird" Everyone's attention was suddenly shifted towards the sound of an argument, a door shutting, revealing 19 year old Zatanna seemingly hollering towards the man with a golden helmet. {"Him? What's up there?"} Rex thought in his own mind, watching the two.

"The Light. The Reach. Mongul. What else do you want, How long does fate attempt to pick away at my life?" Zatanna said, crossing her arms and narrowing her eyes at the sorcerer supreme.

"Because of fate those tedious issues were avoided much more efficiently, girl. Your father's body provides me with a replica of what Nabu's prime was capable of. Or close to it. As long as massive threats are still possible out there in the cosmos, I shall remain here to fend them off. That is earth's Fate!" Dr. Fate shouted back at her, causing the brunette to stomp her foot into the ground.

"I've done nothing but understand the situation. Its been 6 years since I've seen my father. I allowed him to be used to get rid of those three massive threats mentioned before" Zatanna rebutted, gritting her teeth at this point.

"The Reach has been ejected and Mongul no more...But oh? You truly believe The Light is gone. Even now The Light has gained a new member from another world. The same world as our own new member, the boy who controls the engines of life. Generator Rex" Fate responded. Zatanna's face going from angry to full of gloomy emotion, she was holding back the urge of tears.

It was for too long..Far too long that she endured an understood, now she felt as if he did his end of the bargain.
But no...Nabu refuses.

She walked away from him. The other 5 blinking in shock, hearing everything.

"Yeah...I uh...Yeah, that must be tough" Jaime said, Garfield suddenly looking down. Remembering his dear mother who died from the car accident. Rex looked at Garfield, putting a hand on the younger boy's head. "Hey, chin up buddy. You became part of something greater, I'm sure she's hype dancing in her grave right now. Besides, welcome to the club" Rex said, smiling at him as Garfield sniffled somewhat. "Y-Yeah...Thanks man" He thanked the E.V.O, fist bumping with him before Rex suddenly got up.

"Where you going?" Shazam and Bart asked at the same time. Rex glancing at them with a genuine smile. "Gotta talk to her, that's one messed up situation she's dealing with after all"

Just moments after, Rex has began to follow her, having transported from the watchtower and towards New York City. Where she used to live with her father, sitting down on a bench, wearing a purple sweater as she calmly looked forward, not too far away from the Catholic school she used to attend as she sat quietly in the nice little area.

"One day...Just one day...Dad, I WILL find a way to break you off this deal and see you again" Zatanna said, voice laced with determination but with a tint of sadness, holding back her emotions as she sighed, looking down a bit. "Just watch..."

"That's quite the long face you have going on there, Could definitely use some of these" A familiar voice said suddenly, causing her head to snap up and look towards who was revealed to be Rex. Holding out cotton candy at her, pink and blue each. Zatanna smiled, truly appreciating his care...Though he must have overheard her then.

"Blue please" She smirked, taking the blue cotton candy and leaving Rex with the pink one. "I do love these, thank you" She added, taking a small bite as Rex sat down next to her.

"Oh good! You took it right away and didn't make it a bigger deal or anything like that" Rex said with relief, snickering to himself.

"That's a more stereotypical response, I'm more mature than that" She responded, snickering with him. "So...I'm guessing you overheard me and Dr. Fate huh"

"...Uh...Yeaaaaah, I kinda did. Just wanted to come by and make sure you were okay, didn't want ya to feel alone..Really tricky situation you got there" Rex definitely felt for her, the odds were just insane.

"I...I really miss him. And I feel so bad saying something like that to you, somebody who lost their parents full on-" "No, It doesn't matter" Rex cut her off, shaking his head a bit.

"Pain is pain. Sorrow is sorrow, emotions are emotions. I'm not really much of a poetic guy but, I can at least tell you that you're in the right here, even with yourself...Plus, 5 or so years enduring it without saying a word, only mentioning it again once all those problems were dealt with...Do you understand how much emotional maturity that is?" Rex reassured her, commending her mental strength as Zatanna blinked.

"Well...I never thought of it that way...I just feel kinda like a daddy's girl again, Somebody who misses having an overprotective father who barely let you breathe" She added, sighing again and taking another bite out of the cotton candy. "I am his only child after all so it does make sense..."

"Dr. Fate's helmet was worn by Kaldur ...Wally...and even me..We got out lucky" She flinched from naming Wally, Rex looked down a bit, understanding completely about the loss. "He was an incredible assistance during the heat of the moment...He got us out of hectic situations time and time again with his immense power but finally he decided to use that at a cost of my father's will!" She put a hand over her head, beginning to grow irritated just from the thought.

Rex put a hand on her shoulder. "I...Dunno what to say, I'm really sorry Zatanna. Your father is still in there and watching you closely. I really hope for the best" He comforted her, smiling and looking around, noticing the the lights around, He put his hand onto the ground, his technopathic powers spreading outwards and manipulating the lights of the park, causing them to blink up in certain angles to spell out "Zatanna and Zatara" in smaller letters than normal.

Zatanna looked up and giggled, Smiling at the E.V.O before giving him a peck on the cheek, which made Rex's face flush with a red coloring as he jerked his head backwards a bit. "I uh...Eh heh heh, Thank you?" Nervousness exuding from him only turned her giggling into straight on laughter. "Oh my god, Thank you Rex, you really put my mood up. You didn't even need any magic tricks to do that...Meaning you're a technopath then? Cool!" She complimented, Rex rubbing behind his head and nodding.

"Eeeeeyup"

"But anyways. We should get back to the Watchtower soon" He said, standing up with his hands in his pocket, Zatanna nodding as she stood up beside him.

"...Don't worry...Even if I have to do it...Or someone else, Your dad will be free" Rex said with a slightly more serious tone as the Female Magician looked at him with slightly wide eyes. "R-Right...Thanks again, Rex"

"Anytime!" He gave her a thumbs up as she embraced him into a hug, eventually the two being beamed back up with the device on hand.
