A Magician in Gaea: Return of the Mistress of Magic

Prologue:

In Love... with You

Zatanna sat on the swings in the park and gently pushed herself with the toe of her shoe. It was Summer Vacation and nearly a year since she had visited Gaea. If it weren't for Dick's astral projected visits, she would have thought it was a dream. Zatanna sighed, stood up on the seat and began to swing. It wasn't the same as being in Dick's arms and flying through the air. She was trying to commit what had happened down on paper but she wasn't very good at description (she was a C- student in English class). Zatanna closed her eyes as she swung and tried to imagine she was with Dick. Someone began swinging on the other swing and she looked to see who it was. At the arrival of Dick's astral projected self, she let go of the swing and went flying.

Zatanna opened her eyes and sat up. Dick's astral projection was crouching beside her. She sat up and looked around to see no one else around so she didn't have to worry about someone thinking she was crazy because she was the only one who could see him. He took her hand and the psychokinetic force that made him helped her to her feet.

"You're here," she said with tears in her eyes.

Dick nodded. It had been nearly 2 months since he had appeared to her and she was desperate to see him. They sat on the swings as Zatanna did the talking. Dick didn't know how to make an astral projection talk so he happily listened to her with a smile on his face.

"Bette won't get off my back! Whenever we have to work together she's all 'Zatanna do this', 'Zatanna do that', 'that's not how that goes', 'you can't do that', ugh! She's such a perfectionist!" Zatanna complained "Ever since I sung Fearless she's been on my back..." she sighed "So, Dick, how has Gotham's rebuilding coming?" she asked with a smile.

Dick shook his hand in a 'meh' gesture and looked at her. He reached over to stroke her hair out of her face but his astral projected hand went right through her. They both looked sad from being a dimension away from each other.

"I miss you, love," Zatanna said "I-I'm in love... with you," and she blushed.

There was a twinkle in his sapphire eyes and he nodded to show he loved her too. That's when the blonde-haired she-demon entered. Bette walked over to her and put her hands on her hips.

"Zatanna, you're 17-years-old and you're playing on the swings? I swear, I just heard you talking to yourself," she said.

Zatanna just looked at her with a blank expression on her face. Bette just went on and on and on at her and Zatanna looked to see Dick making a face at her. Zatanna giggled and Bette snapped her fingers to get her attention. Zatanna looked at her but Bette just huffed and walked away. Zatanna looked to Dick and smiled at him but he looked away as he experienced something on Gaea. He turned, smiled, waved goodbye and disappeared. Zatanna frowned and leaned against the swing chain. She pulled her necklace out and looked at it. She hadn't taken it off since Gaea to the protest of her gym teachers but it never got in the way or felt uncomfortable.

"I'm definitely less than whelmed," she said "I miss you, Dickie-bird,"

She looked at the sky where Gaea would be. Her necklace glowed and the other world appeared to only her. Seeing Gaea made Zatanna feel like it was closer than it was. She got off the swing and picked up her bag. She swung it over her shoulder and began walking to the housing estate she and her father had just moved into.

As Zatanna walked in, Zachary came rampaging into her. Zachary Zatara was her 12-year-old cousin on her father's side from Italy. He was staying with them while he went to middle school (and maybe high school) in America. Zatanna sighed and went up the stairs to her room. Last thing she wanted was to deal with the brattiness of Zach. Her father said he was just trying to adjust to a new country and, once he made friends, he'd be nicer but all the kids on the block thought Zach was weird.

Zatanna kicked off her sneakers, replied to an e-mail from Megan (she was vacationing with her family) and sat down on her bed. She lay back with her window open and the blind up so the Summer wind blew into her room. Her room was quaint. It was painted light green with her dresser and wardrobe taking up one wall and her bed and desk taking up another. Next to her bed was her nightstand and, next to that, was her bookcase. The bed was next to the window and the windowsill lined up with the mattress. Zatanna closed her eyes and began to think of Gaea and the beauty there she hadn't had time to enjoy. She listened to her wind chimes as she fell asleep...

A bright beam of light shot down in front of her, causing her hair to whip around her. She walked towards it but... a voice... was calling her name in fright. Zatanna walked into the light and something crashed into her as it jumped into the light too...
