Authors note: Trying get out of a funk, and I want a story for every letter of the alphabet. And guess what? Turns out that the letter X was easiest to find and right… Who would have thought?

I know I already asked, but I am keeping this here... Does anyone even read this? Anyways I was wondering, would you guys rather have something sooner and have to wait for more or wait now and get more (all of it) later? I have a large part of chapter two, done and the perfect spot to stop and post. I have a large part to go and I have hit writers block, so do you want what I have now or to wait it out?

I wouldn't recommend you guys useing Za in your normal daily life, but who am I to stop you.

Za – Noun. Abbreviation of "Pizza" (American slang from the 90's)

Wally pounded his head against the table, "I am hungry!" he announced with a groan. The rest of the team turned their attention to the whining speedster sitting at the kitchen table.

"Then feed yourself, Baywatch." Artemis suggested, smirking at Wally from across the table.

Wally didn't even raise his head from wooden counter, "But we have, like nothing in the mountain." The red-head moaned, "And I'm starving."

"You aren't starving Wally." Robin rolled his eyes behind his customary sunglasses.

"Super metabolism, dude." Wally argued, finally lifting his head to stare at his best friend with pleading eyes, "I need to eat all the time."

"And we have food." The Boy Wonder continued, walking around the island to pull open the fridge.

"Yeah, fruits and vegetables-" The red-head pulled a face, "Nothing good to eat."

"It is healthy for you." Aqualad argued from his seat next to Artemis. "You should really eat more nutritious food Wally."

The team speedster waved his hand dismissively, "Why? I burn it off right away anyways. I just want something greasy."

"Like what?" Superboy asked, leaning against the counter next to Robin, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Hello Megan!" The Martian yelled, interrupting any possible recommendations from the rest of the team. "How about we order za?"

All eyes snapped to the green-skinned girl in confusion.

A blush creeps over the girls green cheeks, as she second-guessed her announcement, "You know, za."

The rest of the team stares at her with blank expressions, before realization flashes across Robin's face. "You mean pizza!" he said.

Megan nodded and ducked her head in embarrassment, her face burnt red in humiliation.

"Great idea, beautiful. I want sausage, mushroom and pineapple!" Wally announced, "And another with green peppers, onions and Canadian bacon."

Artemis pulled a face, "Gross, I just want a cheese za."

Megan smiled at her friend in thanks for the use of her word, the red tint faded from the girls face.

"I think Megan should choose a za because it was her idea." Superboy interrupted, his tone announcing that it wasn't really up for argument.

Kaldur nodded along, "I agree." The leader turned to the Martian expectantly. "What toppings would you like?"

"I don't know. I have never really had any before." Megan admitted sheepishly, "But I have seen people getting pepperoni on TV."

Wally gasped in exaggerated horror, "Never had za? Then you are in for a treat tonight. We can get a bunch and try a bunch of combinations."

Robin slapped his hand down on the island counter, drawing in the team's attention. "Guys, I think we have bigger things to worry than what to get on the za." Robin interjected staring around the table with a serious face. "How do we get them to deliver if we live in a mountain?"
