DISCLAIMERS
1. This is a fan fiction based on characters owned by DC Comics. I DO NOT OWN THEM. This is just for fun.
2. This is a femmslash story. If you don't like that sort of thing, you won't like this.
3. Identity Crisis never happened here... or at least, not Zatanna's brainwashing of Selina to become a do-gooder. Other than, it's pretty much pre-New 52.
PART 1
They held eachother close, the moonlight shining through the bedroom window. The sheets were skewed across the floor, along with their clothes. They lay together entwined, both attempting to regain their breaths. "That... that was really something."
Selina Kyle smirked at the woman in her arms. "I've had no complaints."
Zatanna Zatara cocked an eyebrow. "You're not very good at being modest, are you?"
"What can I say?" Selina said. "I said I'd never lie to you. Which is why I mean it when I say you were magical."
Rolling her eyes, Zatanna nuzzled closer to her lover. She still had trouble believing it was really happening. It was less than five months since she had started a relationship with the infamous cat burglar - they had gotten past the awkward "I love you"s with little trouble, considering the difficulty every other aspect of their coupling had. Needless to say, many of Zatanna's colleagues in the Justice League were less than thrilled with the idea. Some of them - Ollie mostly - even accused Selina of playing the magician as some part of an elaborate plot.
Not that Zatanna could really blame them. Selina was the world-renowned Catwoman, someone not to be trusted. Still, with that said, the one person she expected to have the most objection to the pairing was surprisingly supportive. Though he was obviously wary, Bruce had given his "blessing". Zatanna guessed his marriage to Diana had calmed his paranoia somewhat.
Truth be told, Zatanna could understand her teammates' reactions. But even so, not only had she fallen in love with the Feline Fatale, but the woman had returned her feelings. Selina had even renounced her criminal ways to be with her. Not even Bruce had managed to wrangle that out of her. And contrary to rumours - again, mostly fueled by Ollie - Zatanna had not used a spell to change Selina. Once she realised she had fallen for the thief, Zatanna promised herself she would never use her magic on Selina like that.
Any worries the magician had at Selina's intentions where finally silenced when she chose Zee over her partnership with the duo of Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. When Selina declared her love for Zatanna after the pair's defeat, the Justice Leaguer's heart had threatened to melt.
Within weeks, they were practically living together. Zatanna was spending less time at Shadowcrest and more at Selina's Gotham apartment. The magician had moved half of her personals into the place... including the "we're in a relationship" staple of the toothbrush. It had taken more time to get used to all of Selina's cats, but at least Zatanna was not allergic, as they both feared.
There were other obstacles to overcome. At first, Selina had still sometimes gone out at night; though she always insisted it was just for exercise, Zatanna was fearing she was still committing robberies. Only when Selina decided to temporarily stop suiting up did Zee relax. Thus, she felt it was only fair to briefly halt her stage career and cut down on her time with the League... though the latter was partly due to the comments she suffered from the less-supportive Leaguers. Zatanna had once come back from a meeting almost in tears, resulting in a pissed Selina wanting to storm the Watchtower.
It hurt like crazy that her friends were less than thrilled about her newfound love - either through caring wariness or outright incredulity - but Zatanna could see their point of view. Selina's past was an open book. But Zatanna trusted the reformed criminal. She had to... or she feared her heart would break.
"What's wrong?"
The question brought Zatanna out of her musing. "Nothing," she replied.
"Y'know," Selina said, "it hurts when you lie, when I said I never would."
Zatanna sighed. "I'm sorry. I just... "
"Zee?" It still made the magican's heart all fuzzy when her lover used her nickname.
"I was... just thinking about the League."
Selina audibly humphed. "Please. I know they're your friends, darling, but if they can't accept your happiness, then they're not worth worrying about."
"They are my friends, Selina," said Zatanna. "Their opinion means alot to me. I know you don't care, but I do. Please, try and understand."
Selina sighed. "All I understand is they're making you unhappy. No one will do that if I have anything to do with it. Because... " She paused.
Zatanna frowned. "Because what?"
"Because... " Selina took a deep breath. "Because you're the most important thing to me."
Smiling, Zatanna felt her heart rise. "I love you."
Grinning back, Selina moved her head closer to Zatanna's. "Ditto... " With that, they kissed passionately.
Which, as always, led to alot more...
