The follow chapters are going to be set on the past, to be precised, this arc is going to be set after the events of Season 2. All the chapters with World Tour are set in this time period.
A few years ago
"This is not time for you to resign…" At the Watchtower, Aqualad, was trying to convince his friend to not leaving the Team
"I'm not resigning…just taking a leave of absence. Besides, Barbara is more than ready to step up"
"Agreed but Dick…"
"I need a break, Kaldur. We almost lost Wally…if it weren't for Jay…" Dick was choking with his words. "Both Wally and Jay were badly injured by the Reach's tech…" Dick looks down to the side. "We lied to our friends-"
"Dick…"
"I almost lose Z. I'm lucky that she gave another chance and if I'm being honest with you, Kal. All these wouldn't be worthy if Zee is not by my side"
"I understand. And I'm sorry that I-"
"This isn't on you, it's on me. I could've tell her at any moment but I didn't..."
"But that was because I was pressuring you. I wanted for you to get the charm without letting her in but you put you foot down"
"I should've done it sooner and you can't take the blame for everything Kaldur. This is totally on me" Kaldur didn't know what to say. Tula's death put him on a rough spot and he almost ruined Dick's love life. It doesn't matter how much blame Dick wanted to assume, Kaldur couldn't help but to feel responsible for not only him but Zatanna, Wally, Jay and everyone that got hurt as well. "I want to take this time not only for Zee or us but for me as well" Kaldur places his hand on Dick's shoulder.
"I trust that Zatanna and you will be back on track pretty soon"
"I hope so…"
"Don't worry, Dick. I'm sure that you'll be using that ring sooner than later…" From the corner of his eye, Dick sees Conner and Megan talking. Upon being spotted the ex couple blushed before walking towards Aqualad and Nightwing.
"Hey, Nightwing. How's it going?" Conner was the first to greet his friend.
"I'm just fixing some stuff before leaving…"
"What?! Why?!" Megan was the first one to react, Conner was surprised as well but was way more composed than the Martian.
"I'm just taking a leave of absence…with Zee. She's finally doing a world tour with her magic and we decided that it was for the best to take the opportunity to get back on track…" Grayson moves his gaze towards the kryptonian. "And I have to thank you for it, Conner. I know that you talked to Zee and well…thank you"
"Not a problem. Just don't screw things up. She really loves you"
"And I really love her"
"I know" The raven haired friends smile to each other.
"And after her tour are you coming back?"
"No, Megan. I'm flying solo. Help Blüdhaven as Nightwing and in time…I'll comeback but you know that I'm just a call away" Megan embraces him in a tight hug.
"Have fun with Zatanna and you better call me when you propose to her…"
"What? I-I-I…"
"Cut him some slack, Megan" Tigress intervenes. "Perhaps he's getting her pregnant first. And with how freaky they are and the places they are going to visit…"
"Good luck training Bart and give Wally my best" Artemis smiles. While Wally was out of duty due to his injuries, Bart was sub in for him as Kid Flash with Tigress mentoring him.
"Zee. I'm home" Dick feels an immense amount of happiness just by saying that. Some words that he thought that he would never say again.
"Welcome back, baby. How did it go with Kaldur?" She greets her boyfriend with a quick peck on the lips before going back to packing. Once again, Dick feels the excitement. It has been a couple of week since Zee last call him baby.
"He wasn't initially on board…but he has our back like always. I told him that Barbara can step up and help him with the Team" She hums. "And Conner and Megan are going to help with the whole Nightwing business while we are out of the country" Pocus jumps to her papa and Dick picks her up.
"Do you want me to help you with anything?"
"No, I'm almost done packing but you can feed Pocus" Dick carried their girl to the kitchen got some baby carrots, apple slices and strawberries. Pocus jumped from her father's arms to the floor to eat while Dick pour some water for her.
"Good girl. Are we leaving her with Raquel?" Pocus ears straighten up.
"Yeah. She's expecting us to drop her by any time this today" Pocus stopped eating and move to be closer to her mom.
"It's just while we go there…I don't want you to travel in a cage even if it is your fancy one. I don't trust the airport crew with you, baby. I promise that as soon as we settle, I'm pulling you from my hat" Pocus understood and nuzzles her mom. "That's my girl"
"Just one suitcase?" Grayson was confused. Zee has spent a whole week making her bag and he knew how much clothes she has and that she was buying more on their trip.
"Magic suitcase. Are you sure you want to fly all the way to Brazil? There are zeta tubes in Rio and my performance is there"
"I thought it would be nice to act like normal people…besides if it we get too tired after this first trip, we can always use the tubes for the next destination"
"We better not be flying on economy, Grayson" She arches her eyebrows and cross her arms.
"Noup. Bruce was kind enough to pay for first class" Usually, Zee would get her plane tickets paid by whoever was hiring her but she and Dick wanted to spend extra days in Brazil and arrived early, so the company wasn't paying for them.
"Good. Although, I'm sure that Bioship is still way more comfortable" Dick gets closer to her and rubs her arms.
"Without a doubt. Aren't you excited to finally perform outside of the U.S?" A smile grace her lips.
"Yeah. I can't believe that I finally took the time to do this. I'm nervous and excited"
"They are going to love you. You sold out everything within minutes" Zee takes a deep breath before cupping Dick's face.
"Yeah but I'm excited about spending time with you as well…but there's something we need to discuss first" Dick's smile leaves his face and looks at her with confusion. "Please give me my stubborn boyfriend back"
"Huh? Zee, what are y-?"
"I want you to stop behaving around me as this relationship was made out of glass. You don't discuss with me, while we don't fight often…you just can't agree with me in everything" Dick looks to the sight. "Look at me, baby" Dick meets her eyes.
"I'm just too scared to screw things up and losing you"
"You are not losing me. I want us to be like we used to be but better. And I know that this is not your normal I love to spoil my sexy smart girlfriend. Just be the man that I love, okay?"
"You got it, boss"
"Then let's take this trip as the first page of a new chapter in our relationship. Deal?" He pecks her lips.
"Deal"
"Also, what are you going to do while we travel? Are you going to be just the model boyfriend?"
"I'm going to do that but I'm sure that there's crime in every city we are going and they could use a hero for a week or two"
"As long as you don't get in too much trouble and save some energy for me…I deserve a hero too y'know?"
"That means that we are sharing the bed again?"
"As much as I enjoy cuddling with you on the couch…we cannot start this new chapter like that besides I'm aching for you to touch me and to touch you" She purrs into his ear.
"And are we starting now or until we g-" Having enough of beating around the bush, she crashes her lips with his. Dick use all his strength to break the kiss.
"Wait! I really want and need to do this but…"
"But…" She takes his hand and starts licking and sucking his finger.
"We are going to be late. We need to drop Pocus with Raquel, get to the airport and do all the check ups, passports, traffic…" Zee was really needy after a couple of week with just cuddling and kisses here and there but with no sex.
"C'mon…we have time" She whines.
"No can do. We will do everything we want and need to each other once we reach Brazil" He pecks her lips before going to his room for his suitcase and then grab hers. "Let's go before it's too late" Zatanna was left stunned as she picks up Pocus but couldn't help her smile seeing Dick being back to his normal self.
"He's going to be an amazing dorky lovable dad one day" She blushes for a second with that thought before following him.
"I must admit that these seats are really comfortable…" Zatanna enjoys her place on the plane. Their seats were more like small beds but big enough to fit the couple. Although, the flight wasn't long, she could still catch a good nap time.
"Yeah but Bioship is still better…I hope she doesn't get jealous the next time we travel with her" Zee smiles before leaning on his shoulder.
"You know…this could be the perfect opportunity to have sex in the air" She suck his earlobe.
"What about all those times we did it while using your levitation spell?"
"Alright, wise guy. Have sex on the plane, are you on?"
"As much as I want, I'd have to say no…"
"No? No?!"
"Shh. It's just that we haven't had sex in so long and I won't be able to do all the things that I want to do to you in the bathroom"
"We are pretty flexible and the broom closet on the watchtower or pretty much every place we have ever had sex begs to differ…"
"I just want to make our second first time really memorable and take my time to stimulate every nerve of yours…mistress of magic" He leans closer to whisper into her ear, making Zee get goosebumps and nods.
"Alright but let's cuddle and take a nap" After many months of stress with work, hero life and their relationship…the couple fell asleep without much problem.
"PLEAS TRY TO REMAIN CALM. EVERYONE GET BACK TO YOUR SEATS!" The flight attendants were trying to ease the passengers, a flock crashed against the plane's engine. Oxygen mask started to pop out as the passengers freaks out.
"Enigne riaper flesti!" Z lifted her blindfold to see what all the fuss was about and with a quick and simple spell she managed to fix the problem.
"That was quick" Dick comments as he pulls her closer.
"Not enough. They cut the best part of my dream…"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. Your pants were already off…" She cuddles on his chest before falling asleep again.
"As much as I love the much needed power nap…I don't know if I want to go through all that again…security, baggage claim, the lines…" Zee whines while they were walking through the airport to the pick up area. "Are we just grabbing a random cab?"
"Please. Do you know me? There's a SUV waiting for supe star Zatanna Zatara and her very handsome boyfriend"
"We need to talk about your obsession with SUVs. We are not getting one. Our car and bike is more than enough" Dick smiles while the driver picks up the couple's luggage and Dick opens the door for his woman.
"Such a gentleman"
"Only for you"
"Mr. and Mrs. Grayson. We weren't expecting you so soon!" The Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort's manager greets the couple.
"Actually, we are not married…" Grayson corrects him.
"Yet…But don't worry. My show is not until 3 days and we wanted to take more time and know a little bit about this place…Mr…" Dick started grinning like an idiot after Zee's yet.
"Oh. My apologies. Where are my manners. I'm Charles Oliveira at your service"
"A pleasure and as you know I'm Zatanna and this is my boyfriend Richard"
"Please call me Dick" As usual, the couple got a confused look but Charles decided to roll with it.
"Well then…let's check your reservation" Charles checks on his computer and the room was available but he was such a fan of Zatanna and was excited about her show that he decided to do something about it.
"Your room is ready but I'd like to upgrade you to our most luxury room but might take an hour or two to be ready. We don't get a super star like you everyday and you deserve the best"
"It's not necessarily"
"But I insist. I want to give you guys reasons to comeback and I'm such a huge fan of both the leaguer and the stage magician Zatanna Zatara" Seeing that the man wouldn't budge and didn't want to upset him. With one look to each other, the couple knew what to do.
"Alright. Thank you so much" Zee smiled at the man. And Oliveira calls for the bellboys to handle the couple's bags.
"Do you know any good place nearby to go and grab a bite?"
"Sure. I can call a taxi for you or-"
"No need for that. We would like something close enough to walk. The flight was a little bit tiring and it would be nice to have a walk" The manager smiled before giving instructions to the couple.
"First time on Brazil and you already get special treatment…I'm lucky that I'm tagging along with such a super star" She playfully hits him before hugging his arm.
"Technically…we both have been in Brazil a couple of times"
"Yeah but we were undercover. No one knew about us being here"
"I came here with the League on a mission. Remember Ivy trying to save the trees and causing a huge international problem…"
"Yeah. I remember. Alec was here as well and you were so pissed off because you were covered in mud like 5 times back to back"
"The fact that I can clean that with magic doesn't make it any less annoying" The couple was now walking through Rio's street. Mesmerized by the friendly atmosphere and nice weather.
"AJUDA! AJUDA!" Dick and Zee alerts went off with the screaming.
"Por favor, você está me machucando!" Dick was the first to react and make a run to the source of the screaming. He enters an alley that leaded to a small department complex. And he saw three women. One raven haired was on the floor with a red cheek, there was one with green hair helping the first woman down and the third woman with white hair was about to face the man that just pulled a knife on her.
"Hey!" Dick, quickly understood that the man was wasted, likely, he beat up his wife and the other women were helping her.
"Foda-! Agggh!" The man launched himself at Dick but without much effort, Grayson, disarmed the man and got him in a lock position.
"É melhor você não incomodá-la de novo, saia daqui antes que você me irrite e se você a machucar de novo... eu volto e não serei tão amigável (You better not bother her again, get out of here before you piss me off and if you hurt her again... I'll be back and I won't be so friendly)" Then Grayson let the man go, who took a run for his life. "Você está bem?" Dick offered his hand to both women on the floor, the raven haired and the green haired.
"Muito obrigado" He help first the injured one to get on her feet before giving his hand to the tall woman with green hair. Upon contact with her hand, he gets an odd feeling.
"Dick! Are you alright?" Finally, Zee catches up with her boyfriend.
"Yeah. It was just an asshole that hurt this lady" Dick clenches his fist and Zee tries to ease him with her touch. Dick could get very aggressive when someone tried to hurt a woman…specially if it was a couple. The green haired woman and Zee check on the victim before she thank them all and make her leave back to her home not before Zatanna could handle her personal number to help her getting a job and start a new life with their kids.
"Thank you. So much. We had it handle it but thank you. My name is Tora Olafsdotter…" The white haired woman introduces herself and Chalant couldn't help but to notice the accent.
"And I'm Beatriz Da Costa" The duo introduces themselves to Zee and Dick. They shake hands once again and Dick got suspicious of the women. Beatriz and Tora make their way to handle their business, leaving Dick and Zee alone.
"Are you okay?" Zatanna notices how Dick's eyes were fixed on the women as they walk away and a pinch of jealousy hit her. Beatriz and Tora looked like super models and had an amazing sex appeal.
"Mmm? Yeah. I'm sorry, Zee but didn't you notice that Beatriz was hot?" Zatanna frowns at him.
"What?! What do you mean that she was hot?!" She crosses her arms.
"Yeah. When you shake her hand? Wasn't she a little too hot. I feel like she could burn my hand" Dick shows his palm to Zee and she sees that it was slightly red.
"No. It felt normal to me…" Dick gets in deep thought.
"Maybe it was just my imagination…but let's grab something to eat. I can't think with an empty stomach"
"Yeah. And we need the energy…have I ever tell you that you sound so hot while speaking Portuguese?"
"Well…after we are done eating, vamos para o nosso quarto para transar até o amanhecer"
