6 year old Zatanna Zatara was staring out the window of her bedroom, waiting for her dad to come home. It was after midnight, but she couldn't sleep. She wanted her dad to read her Il Principe Ranocchio before bed. Her babysitter, Mrs. Carol already read her the story twice, but it wasn't the same without her dad. Zatanna smiled brightly as she heard the front door open to their house. She jumped out of bed and ran downstairs with her teddy bear in hand.

"Daddy!" she yelled, jumping into his arms.

He picked Zatanna up and gave her kiss on the cheek.

"I missed you daddy."

"I missed you too my little dove, but what are you doing up? It is past midnight. She should be asleep."

"I couldn't sleep. I wanted you to read to me."

"But didn't Mrs. Carol read to you already?" he asked, her.

"I like it better when you read it to me." Zatanna stated.

Zatara smiled at his daughter. She was so dependent on him. He knew this wouldn't last when she got older, so he wanted to savor this as long as he could.

"I'll be going Giovanni." Mrs. Carol said, picking up her purse.

"Thank you for babysitting. She wasn't too much trouble was she?"

"No, she was a doll. Bye Giovanni, bye sweetheart." the babysitter said.

"Bye!" Zee yelled, waving at her.

The babysitter left and Zatara carried his daughter upstairs. He placed her on her princess bed and tucked her in.

"Please read to me."

"Zatanna…"

"Please daddy. Don't you love me?" she said, with an adorable puppy dog face. Zatara's heart melted and like always, he gave in.

"Alright. One time, but after that you have to go to sleep. You have school tomorrow."

"Ok daddy."

Zatanna snuggled against her father and listened to him read to her. After he finished, he kissed on the forehead and Zee drifted to sleep. The next day, Zatanna was downstairs eating peanut butter and jelly with milk while her dad fixed himself some coffee.

"Daddy?"

"Yes angel?"

"Who did you fight last night?" she asked, with jelly all over her mouth.

"It was nothing more than a bank robber." he said, wiping the food off of her mouth.

"Daddy?"

"Yes?"

"Were you scared?"

"No, I've seen much scarier things."

"Daddy?"

"Yes?"

"When can I go with you to stop bad guys?"

Zatara paled. He knew one day she would ask.

"When you're older."

"But I'm getting better, watch. Tfil ssalg!"

Her glass of milk lifted in the air. Zatara was impressed, she was getting better, but he would never let her go out on patrol. Who knows what could happen to her?

"That's good."

"So I can go?"

"We'll talk about it when you get home ok?"

"Ok daddy."

Zatanna jumped off the chair and her dad put her back pack on her. She was wearing a purple dress with flowers and light purple shoes. Her hair was combed neatly in pig tails that were curled on the end.

"Now angel, remember what I told you about strangers?"

"Stranger danger." she said.

"And if someone tries to get you to go with you?"

"Run away and scream as loud as I can."

"Good girl, now come on. I'll walk you to the bus."

Zatanna skipped to the bus stop holding her dad's hand. Soon, the yellow vehicle arrived.

"Now remember, daddy loves you." Zatara said, kneeling down to her level.

"I love you too."

Zatanna ran onto the bus and then waved out of the window until she couldn't see him anymore. Zatanna sat back down in her seat and started talking to other kids. Once the bus stopped, she got off and followed her teacher inside. Little did she know, a black figure was watching her very closely from the distance.

"Boss, I see the girl. She's kind of cute."

"Quit staring and stick to the plan. Find the girl, drug her and then get over here."

"Got it."

"Once we're done with his little angel, Zatara will wish he never messed with the League of Sorcerers."
