@rhaps0dy​ sent: “…didn’t know where else to go…”  for Zatanna and John Constantine??

send “…didn’t know where else to go…” for your muse to show up at my muses doorstep one night during a thunderstorm, shivering, bleeding & soaking wet.

            it seemed no one knew how to make an entrance quite the way john knew how. this night she had chosen to take off given the horrible weather, enjoying a bubble bath and a fluffy robe instead, idly wondering as she lay back in her tub in the lavender-scented bubbles what gutter john was crawling out of about now. seems she got her answer now.

            ‘ oh, john... you look like hell. ‘ she murmured, stepping out of the way so he could come inside and out of the rain. ‘ most people would take a night like this off, you know. ‘

Young Justice Mini Series - Episode 9 - Date of Disaster

With Zatanna grounded for life after the Red Volcano fiasco, she was sitting on her room, bored while stuck with her homework. "If only I wasn't grounded for life, maybe I could do something fun."

Then she heard a thud. She turned around to see a stone flying towards her bedroom window. Then Zatanna opens it to see who that was. It was Robin, only wearing a sweater and dark sunglasses. "Hey, Zee. Feeling underwhelmed?"

"Robin?" Zatanna said. Although very shocked that he knew where she lived. But she also found it cute. "How did you get here?" She asked.

"Oh, I have my ways." Robin responded.

"Sneaky, but very cool. Well, I am still grounded. And Dad is now away for the next show. And yes, I'm underwhelmed. This place feels smaller right now." Zatanna sighed.

"Well, you're in luck. Cause I'm taking you out for fun." Said Robin. Zatanna was surprised that Batman's protege was offering something sneaky.

"As in a date?" She asked.

"Well, you can call it whatever you want. It doesn't have to be." He replied. Excited, Zatanna grabbed a rope to climb down, but not before summoning a duplicate of herself. "Etacilpud flesym!" The clone of herself appeared.

"Stay there when Dad gets home." The duplicate of Zatanna nods and waved her goodbye. Zatanna then climbs down to join Robin in the fun. Then she hops onto his motorcycle and held onto his back. "Ready?" Asked Robin, who gave her a helmet. "Let's go." She replied and the two sped off.

The first thing they did was watching a horror movie, but they weren't allowed to watch it due to being under the age of 17. So Zatanna teleports herself and Robin inside the room where the movie was shown. But the moment they see the jump scare part, they screamed. "Ahhh!" They held onto each other tightly. Then a security tapped their shoulders, telling them to get out.

Next was the fair where the two are in a Ferris's wheel, enjoying the view. Until the joints in the middle of the wheel snapped loose and rolled away like a hamster ball with Robin and Zatanna on it. "Ahhh!"

Next they were at some kind of ship, dancing to the party music. Until Icicle Jr. had to ruin the moment by freezing passengers in sight. Robin was the first to get involve into a fight. Using acrobatics to avoid his ice beams. Until the boy wonder was hit and frozen in ice. This made Zatanna angry as she used a spell to sent him to prison. "Dnes rj it elleb ever niaga!"

A portal underneath Icicle Jr. And he fell through it and was sent back to Belle Reve prison. Where his father, Icicle Sr. folded his arms in disappointment. "You know, Jr. Back in my day, your ma was the best partner in crime." He remarked.

After taking Zatanna back home. She turned to the Boy Wonder. "Thanks a lot, Boy Wonder. It was a lot of fun."

"Feeling whelmed now?" Asked Robin. Zatanna then kissed him on the cheek in response. Making him blush. "Officially whelmed." She replied. Then they heard a cough.

"Ahem!" It was Zatanna's father, Zatara. They stood shocked.

"Hey...Dad...How's the show tonight?" She said nervously.

"Hey, Mr. Zatara!" Waved Robin. Zatara was not pleased that someone snuck his daughter out of the house and cast a spell to send him home. "You head home, now! Dnes nibor emoh!" Just like that, Robin disappeared.

Then Zatara turned to Zatanna. "And you, you are still grounded!" Zatanna returned to her room, reluctantly. Needless to say that her father was too overprotective when it comes to teenagers. As Zatanna returned to her room, she received a text from Robin after exchanging numbers.

Robin: Glad you have fun, Z.

Zatanna smiled and replied the message.

Zatanna: Thanks for that. Let's do it again sometime.

@cosmicacy [ clark & zee, one-liners ]

“What was Bruce like? As a kid?”

      oh, the stories she could tell. a discreet smile crossed her lips as she tapped a gloved finger against her cheek in thought. ‘ i can’t say he was that different in terms of the broodiness, but he was much more open to things than he is now. we were almost an item too, if you could believe it. he was quite entranced with me. ‘

         well, that wasn’t exactly true. she was much more entranced with him than he would ever be with her.

[laeppaxeh-blog]

1, 3, 5, 7, 9?

1. what would you name your future kids?

“Nothing that starts with Z. I don’t know what Dad was thinking. Zatanna Zorina Zatara sounds like a homeless person’s fever dream, or like, soemthing you send back at a restaurant. At least my cousin got Zach. Zachary Zatara at least sounds like he wouldn’t get bullied in public school. Which is probably why I never went to public school.”

If she were being honest she’d consider naming her child John, after her father and then she’d immediately back track because no child of her’s is going to share a name with John Constantine. Giovanni? Perhaps. 

3. what are you looking forward to?

Zatanna pursed her lips for a moment, pushing them out before sucking her bottom lip between her teeth to gnaw on it for a moment in thought. “I...guess in the past I’d say I was excited for some tour or something. Or, I don’t know I’d say I’m excited about the paparazzi finally leaving me alone. I don’t know, since I quit doing stage shows I think I look forward to the small stuff now. Getting off my feet after a long shift, having a hot bath and a glass of wine. Sometimes, a lot of the time, I just look forward to falling into my bed and having a nice dream.”

The rest? The stuff she didn’t say, the stuff between the lines? That’s not stuff she looks forward to, that’s stuff she wants to get over with. Magic and demons and poltergeists those are just thinks she has to deal with. Things she’ll fix if she can.  

5. is it hard for you to get over someone?

“If by hard you mean almost literally impossible and I’m one of those people who like, hides on my couch as a blanket burrito while eating pizza bites, ice cream, and wine all at once while binge watching soap operas in spanish, reality television and courage the Cowardly Dog Show. Once the potato blanket phase is over we move onto the ‘I’m totally okay’ portion of the evening where I go do a bunch of things alone and try not to get emotional over, I don’t know, a potted plant.”

Zatanna tends to avoid emotional connection, though, lately since the opening of her bar she’s trying to rid herself of that aversion, still, the few people she let’s in. Losing them or having them walk away from her is something close to devastating. 

7. have you ever cried because you were so annoyed?

“I’m....maybe not the most patient person ever but I mean...yes. Yeah. I tend to cry when I get annoyed. I..it’s weird, I don’t cry when I’m angry, I cry when I’m annoyed. I think the difference is I get annoyed when I get hurt. I get angry when other people do.”

Zatanna, for all that she’s candid and a bit of a Mess, is actually really reserved when she needs to be. More on that literally at the next question. 

9. are you good at hiding your feelings?

Zatanna hummed, unsure how to answe this, she wasn’t good at hiding them but...”Yes? Or, well, I’m not good at hiding them, I’m just good at not acknowledging them. Small emotions that don’t...matter? Ones I can feel without worrying about hurting someone. I don’t bother trying to hide those, no harm, no foul. The moments that matter, the emotions you need to hide, like fear, like anger. I don’t hide them, or maybe I do, I just call it unacknowledgement. I don’t recognize them so they have no power over me.”

         ‘ let’s just say i’m turning thirty today. that’s the new twenty five, isn’t it? ‘ for the sake of her own ego, she’d never let the true year slip, but those in the know would know full well that she and bruce weren’t too far apart in years. and he certainly showed his age.

@americashielded​ sent: "Should I be flattered or worried?" (For Zatanna) 

          ‘ you don’t have to be worried about anything when i’m around. mistress of magic, remember? ‘ still, she believed most people had the right to know when ghosts were talking about them and these ones, while harmless, were chatting and giggling like little schoolgirls in their general direction. ‘ they like your hair. and muscles. ‘

@ofcatnaps​ sent: “ maybe we can cuddle? you know, seeing as we’re already here... “ - from koriand'r to zatanna? xD 

         her magic had just finished dressing her in her bunny-patterned pajamas for bed, the clothes she had been wearing tucking themselves into the laundry bag for the next day, but she couldn’t help but give a slight laugh as she looked koriand’r up and down. there were plenty of people who would kill for a chance to cuddle with either one of them and here they were.

          ‘ i don’t see why not. are you sure the bed isn’t too short for you though? i can stretch it out a little longer. ‘

@megavclt​ sent: “ i like it when the worlds quiet. ” for zatanna 

            ‘ you should consider moving out of the city. it’s never quiet here. ‘ a quiet smile crossed the magician’s place as she folded her arms over her chest, watching over the gotham skyline. she didn’t mind the bustle of it all, given it was a welcome distraction from everything else. with all the power she held on the tip of her tongue, most would expect her to disappear to a monastery and study for the rest of her days, but she wasn’t about to throw in the towel yet, not when there was so much life to live.

@hrdsell​ sent: papers for johnzee because constantine has never respected the sanctity of the justice league ever and isn't going to start now

papers. our muses getting frisky in an office / work setting.

         when he had mentioned wanting to visit her while at work, zatanna imagined more of a coffee date or maybe even a tour of the hall of justice. how often did he get to get that kind of view of the stars? but she should have known better by now, that john would never do what she expected. that was probably why they were where they were now with him sitting on someone’s desk ( probably bruce’s, based on his luck ) with his shirt half undone and her manicured hands trying to tug it open further.

          ‘ most guys would bring flowers. ‘ she murmured, standing between his legs as his scruffy chin rubbed against her neck in a series of kisses. probably payback for how much of her dark lipstick was already smeared all over him, if she had to guess. it was always like this with them, a game of one-upsmanship until something else caught their attention. it started with magic and now it was about who could fluster the other one. she didn’t mind admitting that he did occasionally come out on top ( metaphorically, but sometimes physically. ) and that gutter charm did have quite the hold for him, but only because it meant she was more than willing to beat him the next time.

          ‘ you couldn’t even bring me coffee? ‘ the mistress of magic pretended to pout as she slunk her arms around his neck, pulling him up so she could look him in the eye with her nails beginning to dig into his hair.

@hrdsell​ sent: " i won't break, you know. you don't need to be gentle. "

           ‘ trust me, i know. you have the resiliency of a cockroach, darling. ‘ still, he’d always gotten tossed around and roughed up and for once she could treat him as softly as she so desired. so long as it meant getting to see that peaceful expression he only got around her when she combed through his hair or drew him a bath and he finally seemed to relax. zatanna hovered over him, pulling herself off of where she had been lying pressed against his bare chest, choosing to straddle his narrow hips.

               careful fingers drew over his stomach, nails gently scratching against the faint line of hair trailing down to his belt. ‘ and it’s more fun for me to draw it out like this. don’t you think, john? ‘

[screenviolense-a]

           ‘ can’t the forces of evil and hell itself wait until the morning? i just got back from an eight hour plane ride, not including all the time spent in layover and i need my beauty sleep. ‘ until she got proof that her very particular expertise was needed, she’d continue to bury her face in her pillows for some semblance of rest.

open.

[screenviolense-a]

          ‘ easy there, soldier, i don’t have anything up my sleeves. ‘ zatanna held up her hands to show that she meant no harm, only for a cascade of playing cards to pour out of her sleeves and scatter through the air. ‘ oops! i guess i did after all. ‘
