Summary: Suggestion from KoalaTakingNotes. Takes place about 3 months or so into their relationship. I didn't really understand what you were looking for in this suggestion, so I hope you can forgive me if it's not the best. This is definitely a pure fluff, sorta crack (but that's probably just the bad writing) chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own DC
The team was sent in to take down Count Vertigo after he had escaped Belle Reve with the help of Hugo Strange. Good thing we took away all of Strange's power within Belle Reve, but he musta had this last ace up his sleeve. The fight did not last very long. However,Vertigo had gotten a high-frequency sound blast off, and Zatanna had attempted a counter-frequency spell, but she hadn't gotten the spell down pact, and instead of countering the blast, it simply augmented it a bit, knocking her out. Dick, of course, was worried out of his mind. However, once the team got back, Canary had determined that Zee was fine, if not for one slight problem. The blast had done a number on her synapses, and she would not have complete control or consciousness over herself. Dinah described it as "getting half-drunk, half-high", and Dick was not amused.
Bruce had taken him to hundreds of galas, but Dick had only seen Bruce drunk once, at a Veronica Freeland party where someone had spiked his champagne. Dick and Al had to drag him back to the manor before he could say or do anything...harmful. Unbeknownst to Dick, Bruce had gotten drunk one other time, about 3 weeks ago, but that was less so due to his tolerance for alcohol and more so with Talia Al Ghul drugging his drink. Bruce had woken up in a ditch that night, with no recollection for how he got there, but that was a story that would not matter for the next few years. In any case, Dick had never and, if he had any say in it, would never do drugs or drink, and so knowing that his girlfriend was suffering a mix of the two was somewhat disturbing for him.
The team was all out of the cave. Megan and Connor were on a date, Wally and Arty were going to visit Wally's parents for dinner, Raquel was with Icon, and Kaldur was in Atlantis. Dick was beyond thankful that he and Zee were the only two in the cave, however he was also wishing for some backup right now. Zatanna was currently giggling, yelling out his name while running around the cave, and he was doing his best to chase her. However, her magic was not making it any easier. Dick finally caught her, holding her steady with a bear hug, but Zee just giggled more and moved her legs to sweep him off his feet. Damn, wish I didn't teach her that right now! Zatanna landed on top of him and giggled some more before leaning down to capture his lips in a heated makeout session. I, uh, I should probably stop this. Sh-she's not in control of herself. Yeah, I should stop...just...in a few minutes. Zatanna picked up the pace, moaning into the kiss and sliding a few fingers into his hair. She started to fumble with his shirt, and Dick immediately broke it off, grabbing her arm before she could take his shirt off. Okay, that's enough. Not that I don't wanna do this with her, but she's not herself right now. "Zee, we really shouldn't do this right now." Zatanna's expression immediately dropped to a morbid, almost baby-like expression, and she got off Dick, looking at him with tears welling in her eyes.
"Y-you d-don't love m-me?" Dick felt horrible and immediately got up, hugging her closely.
"Zee, of course I love you. It's just...you're kinda out of it right now and you would kick my ass if we did anything right now. I probably would, too." Zee was still pouty, so Dick gave her a quick peck on the lips, which instantly cheered her up. It kinda creeps me out how...unstable she's being right now. He then dragged her to the couch to watch TV. Once he had put on a show she seemed to enjoy, he tried to get up, only to be dragged back down by Zatanna, who giggled as she clung to him. She would occasionally fumble with his clothing, and he gently pushed her hands away whenever she tried to peel his shirt off or...do something even more daring. Zatanna eventually fell asleep in his arms, and Dick carried her back to her room to get some rest. He sat with her, for fear of some sort of side effect that may occur in her sleep, but he eventually started to get pretty drowsy himself, and he shut his eyes as he laid next to her.
Dick woke up a few hours later, looking down and smiling lightly at how peaceful his girlfriend looked. He spent a few minutes playing with her hair until she started to stir. Zatanna opened her eyes lazily and groaned, clutching her head lightly. Dick smirked. "Rise and shine, sleeping beauty." Zatanna huffed and elbowed him, and Dick jokingly winced in pain before pressing a button on the wall to turn on the lights. Zee hissed and jumped under the covers, and Dick couldn't help but laugh.
"It's too bright! Shut the lights off!"
"And I thought Batman liked it dark." Dick did as she asked, and slowly peeled the bedsheet off her face, kissing her forehead and letting her cuddle with him. She rested her head on his chest, but couldn't get rid of the headache. Dick quickly went over to the kitchen to snag some water and ice cream, along with his laptop, and hurried back. He plopped down next to Zee and handed her the water. She gulped it down quickly and Dick turned to the ice cream.
"Wh-what exactly happened." Dick smirked.
"Weeeeeeell..." He pulled out his laptop and pressed a button to access the security camera feed. They watched the feed together as they ate the ice cream. Zatanna got more and more red as she watched her disoriented self try to undress Dick.
"Oh...GOD! D-did I r-really try to d-do...that with you?" Dick laughed a bit then nodded.
"Uh...yeah." Zee was practically burning red, but she cracked a slight smile.
"Well, at least I know I can trust you not to do anything." Dick smiled before kissing the side of her head, opening his arms to let her snuggle into him.
"Always, babe."
Yeah, sorry if it wasn't the best. The suggestion asked Zee to be hypnotized at a hypnotist show, so I just did my best with that. I know practically nothing about hypnosis, so I thought it would be better to make Zee just get super affected by Vertigo's powers to make her kind of a drunken mess. This is probably a pretty bad chapter, sorry about that, but I did the best with the very little I could think of with this prompt. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions. Next chapter up soon.
