Wait

Even with the sun piercing through the window and directly onto her face, Zatanna was fast asleep. She slept on her back, her partner laying down on her front and head turned facing away. Any wet spots had dried up by now, but the memories of how those spots got made are definitely worth remembering for a while at least.

On the ground by Zatanna, her phone lit up and her ringtone came on. It wasn't turned all the way up, so it took a minute for Zatanna to struggle and gain any sense of consciousness and awareness. When it started up again, Zatanna mumbled some backwars words to have her phone float off the ground and into her outreached hand. She turned it on and slowly brought it to her ear. "Hu…?"

"For God's sake, do I have to using my scream over the phone to wake you up? I really don't want to do that, I like my phone."

"Dinah? Why are you calling me? What time is it?" Zatanna tried to open her eyes, despite her eyelids fighting to stay closed. She pushed herself up, her back rasting against the headboard as she straightened up.

"Practically noon. I don't care why you haven't been answering my texts, we need you at the Watchtower."

"Shit. All right, how soon?"

"Luckily, it's not like we are in a fight. Just need you here to help get some answers out of a captured villain. You can have a couple of minutes, but we need you here ASAP."

"Understood. See you there." She hung up, her body and brain finally starting to wake up and see the bright light of a new day. She looked down and around, seeing that a mess had been made of the room. Oh look! She grabbed the bottom of one of her breasts and held it as she tried to get a better look. Those were indeed bite marks on her nipple. If she knew that Abby would be so willing to leave marks, she wouldn't have tried to restrain anything.

Speaking of the young bunny, the girl turned over onto her back, rubbing her eyes. "Were…you speaking…?"

"Sorry about that. Got a phone call. It's…work." Not exactly a lie, but she would rather not say much more than that. She got up and off of bed. "Krow sehtolc no" Her outfit from the night before – dress shirt and jacket, fishnets, high heel boots, all of it – came back on her body. She stretched her gloves on and held her hat in her hands, brushing some dirt off.

"Oh…well, it was fun while it lasted." Zatanna faced away from her for a moment, a faintly sad look on her face as she heard those words. But it gave way to a look of decision as she walked around the bed and grabbed Abby's phone from her clothes on the ground.

"Here." She handed her phone back to Abby. "I put my contact information in. And I'm putting yours in mine." She held up her phone as she entered in the last few digits. She then sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at Abby, who was sitting up and fully awake. "No promises about anything, but text me whenever. I'll respond when I can." This seemed to really brighten her up, a smile dominating her face and she nodded. Zatanna returned the smile and gave a wink and one final kiss before getting up and saying some words to bring her up into space.

"What's with that look?" Zatanna came out of the interrogation room, frowning and with frustration written all over her face. She turned to look at Black Canary.

"You don't think it would have been useful to give some details about who I was supposed to talk to? I thought I was going into the mind of someone I could kind of have an understanding of. Not BIZARRO!"

"Geez, maybe I should have let you sleep and called up J'onn instead." Zatanna started to walk, with Dinah working to keep up with her. "Sorry, I didn't know you were working a show last night If I did, I wouldn't be calling you. But to be fair, even if you had a show the night before, you are usually up a while before the time I finally caught you on the phone."

"Yea, well things happened last night. Had some fun, got me a little exhausted." Zatanna briefly looked both ways to remember which way to turn. That was when she briefly caught Dinah's reaction, which seemed to be amused. Letting out a sigh, she stopped and turned around to fully face her. "What?"

"I'm assuming by 'things' that you mean you hooked up with someone." Dinah raised an eyebrow and raised one eyebrow.

"So what if I did? Am I not allowed to have sex as a superhero unless I'm married, ideally to someone who is also a superhero?"

"Hey, I'm not judging. I'm actually legitimately happy for you." Dinah gave a softer smile and patted Zatanna on the shoulder. That seemed to be enough to let Zatanna loosen up and let her body relax. "I'm guessing part of your current frustration has something to do with the fact that I pulled you away from him when you weren't ready to leave."

"Her. And…well, I guess so, maybe." Zatanna looked at the ground for a moment before throwing her hands up. "Honestly, I haven't had time to think about it. I seriously just woke up less than an hour ago and I had to try and pull information out of someone who might as well be a complex word jumble." She started walking again, more slowly now though until they got back to the main room of the floating satellite.

"All right, my bad on that one. Even if you were in a good mood, I can't imagine that would have been easy to do." Dinah went over to the communication screen and turned on an audio channel to Superman. "Clark, this is Dinah. I've got Z here who just walked out of the room with our little friend."

Zatanna walked up and spoke with a little more volume. "I didn't get a lot out of him. Best I could get was that it seemed like Lex might have sent him towards that research facility. That or someone else who also has an interest in fungi and their potential medical use. I'm not really an expert in that kind of stuff."

"Well, I think I could still use the info. Thanks for helping out Zatanna!" Clark signed off, leaving just Dinah and Zatanna again. The Canary turned back to face her magical friend. "So, what are you doing this upcoming Saturday? Ollie and I were wondering if you wanted to have dinner and…dinner?" She closed her eyes in frustrated realization of what she just said.

"Zatanna raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Glad to know you guys have started committing to the Hobbit diet. Dinner and what?"

"We just…wanted to run something by you. Or more accurately, ask something of you. Nothing urgent or life threatening, just a question." Zatanna was not used to seeing Dinah act nervously at all, especially around her.

"Well, if you say so. But if Mr. Queen is taking me out, let him know that I am for sure ordering the lobster." Zatanna turned around and started to walk.

"What if they don't have lobster?" Dinah asked.

"I'm ordering the lobster. "Ekat em ot Nas Ocsicnarf" A portal opened up to let Zatanna walk back to the city she called home.

Zatanna spent a large chunk of the rest of the day dealing with upcoming events and even assisting a detective with a case that might have some mystical elements involved. It got exhausting pretty quick, despite the fact that she apparently spent a lot of time in bed earlier this morning. But eventually, everything finally managed to slow down and she teleported in the yard in front of her mansion.

Walking a bit to the big doors, she pushed them open and took her time strolling inside. "Esolc srood" As the entrance into her home shut tight again, she just stood and gave an exhausted stare in the lobby of her home. There was sawdust all over the rug, even a big pile of it near one of the edges. Pieces of wood were all over the ground, and there were tools that were forgotten and left behind.

Taking out her phone, she sent a text to her carpenter, Mickey, telling her just what a fine she did in regards to cleaning up the mess after finishing up on the project she had been working on up until last night. That was when she noticed that she had gotten a message from Abby about an hour or so ago. Must not have felt it when it was first sent.

Hey! Just wanted to say that. Work called you away? She stared at the screen for a little bit, taking in her surroundings that had apparently been the new normal for her mansion lobby for the past several hours. Letting go of her phone, it floated and pushed buttons when she said "Llac Ybba" It rang for a couple of minutes before there was an answer.

"Zatanna? I would have thought you would prefer text, given your assumingly busy schedule."

"Normally, yes. But I had a bit of a day. You mind if I just bitch about an employee?"

"Switch employee for roommate and sounds like I have a good idea what you're talking about." Smiling to herself, Zatanna started walking up the stairs, her phone following right by her side in the air.

"All right, I have this carpenter who builds things for me, and she was working on something for the last couple of weeks, she was using my place to build it since there was more room. I come back home after dealing with scheduling and other work crap to find that she hadn't cleaned up!"

"Like, there is some tools and shit all over the place?"

"With a pile of sawdust to top it all off. I swear, it goes halfway up my shin! I love her and she is great, but sometimes she spaces out and it's like FUCK!"

"Huh…that's the first time I have heard you say that word in an angry way." She laughed a bit on the other end of the phone, which caused Zatanna to lighten up a bit, trying to fight back her own laughter.

"This is incredibly serious!" Even though she couldn't see her right now, the smile on the magician's face could certainly be heard in her tone and the way she replied back. "What if I wasn't looking where I was going and I tried to stop all of a sudden and I fall mouth first and choke on all of that shit!"

"Well, as someone who trips over herself a couple times a week, I would call you a clumsy bitch. Sorry, couldn't resist!" Abby laughed even louder on the phone, taking her a few seconds to stop herself. "But no, I totally get what you mean. Similar thing with a roommate that I have right now, leaves clothes and all sorts of shit over the apartment. Feels like I'm living in a junk yard some days."

"You talk to her about it?" Zatanna reached her bedroom and started to change out of her clothes.

"I mean…I try, but she kind of intimidates me. She is a boxing trainer, or at least working up to become one, and she is pretty ripped."

"I can teach you a trick or two if you want." As Zatanna put on her night gown, she could still feel the bite mark on her nipple. "Or maybe you just need to find a soft spot that you can sink your teeth into."

"Oh yea, almost forgot. You really gasped at that. But last time I checked, you seemed to want more of that." She could hear the sexy tease in the voice of the redhead who was biting her lip at the memory of that particular act.

"I'm not complaining. Kind of impressed since it is showing no signs of fading away. Next time I'll make sure to not hold back."

"If that was you holding back, I kind of want to see what you unleashed looks like!" The two laughed and were silent for a few moments. "Well, I should find some food. Haven't eaten at all today. I'm guessing texting for the most part?"

"Yea. But I wouldn't mind another conversation again." Zatanna made a kissing sound and ended the conversation. Pulling back the covers, she crawled into the bed and finally got some rest, trying to get a better mood to last her through the next few days until the weekend.
