"Those birds were so cute!" Zee was excited and happy, she was looking through the photos of her and Dick with birds all over them.
"Right? I don't remember seeing so many birds of different species at once…"
"But not matter what…my favorite bird will always be the Robin…"Beatriz and Tora looked confused at the magician.
"We saw no robins"
"But we did. There was a big cute one" Dick was trying to hold his laugh with Zee's comment and the women expression.
"Let me see…" Beatriz took Zee's phone and searched for the famous Robin pic.
"See? There's no robin" Tora keep looking through the photos as if it were a where's Wally game.
"You two are just blind. He's in almost every photo"
"He? How do you know is a he?"
"Experience. And believe…he's quite the HE" Dick could not hold his laughter any longer.
"What's wrong with him?"
"Nothing. I just remembered a good joke…that's all. So, are we going to dance?" Dick ask to the girls.
"Sure but it's quite early. Let's meet up at the lobby of your hotel in 2 hours. Let's put some proper clothes and a shower and then we will take you two to the part of your lives" Tora organized.
"But don't get sidetracked and leave us hanging like in the morning"
"Sorry about that but we won't do it again"
"Looking good guys!" Beatriz compliments the couple. Dick was wearing brown shorts and white shirt, and Zatanna was wearing a floral white dress.
"Thank you. You look as well" Dick comments on the girls' outfits, the Brazilian was rocking a green top and baggy pants while Tora was wearing a baby blue dress.
"Shall we?"
"Let's see if you can keep up" Zee smirks at the girls. The group of friend take a cab to their destination.
"We need to get some drinks but beware…this cocktails are not the easy stuff that you are used to. This is the real deal" Beatriz gives each their drink.
"Sorry but I don't drink alcohol"
"What?!"
"Yeah. He's such a lightweight…"
"Hey!"
"But I love you" She pecks his cheek.
"Well then…that means more for us!" Beatriz exclaimed before drinking her cocktail in one go.
"I didn't know that we were supposed to drink it like that…" Dick was amused.
"We aren't but bottoms up!" Zee shrugged before following the Brazilian's lead. The magician notices Dick teasing up.
"Hey! Relax. Let's have some fun…this is what the trip is for" Tora and Beatriz looks at the couple.
"Are you guys alright?"
"Zee got some nasty letters…a death threat and I can't stop thinking about that"
"Hey! We are together. If someone shows up, I'm sure that I can freeze them or Beatriz can cook them"
"See? Besides if someone were following us or anything, you'd have seen it already. Besides, are you letting anyone or anything hurt me?" Dick breaks from his trance and takes her hands.
"No, never"
"Then it's settle" Dick smiled tenderly at her.
"Let's take a group photo before we get crazy" Beatriz asked a bystander to take a picture of the group.

10 pm
"Let's start with something normal for you guys. A normal nightclub with a little bit of everything" The newly formed group of friend made their way towards a street full of clubs and stands. The place was packed and instinctively, Dick put Zee in front of him, took her hand and wrapped it around her waist to make sure they wouldn't get separated.
"Let's get in here!" Fire took Ice's and Dick's free hand to make her follow to a club.
"No samba?" Zee was disappointed, she wanted to dance some Brazilian music until she couldn't face no more but their first stop was a club with DJ and different kinds of music.
"You are not ready for that. You need to warm up first. Samba ain't for rookies" Beatriz teases her friends.
"Let's show them what are we made of!" Dick smiled before getting pulled to the dance floor by his girlfriend. Quickly, the couple got in the mood and showcased their dancing skills. Thanks to Zee and Dick's glare, no one dared to approach the other's love. One look from the magician was enough to scared men and women alike and the same thing worked for Dick. Fire and Ice got to dance with some guys that approached them. They'd check on the couple now and then. First, they were jumping and dancing around, later she was madly grinding him and finally, they were viciously making out in the middle of the club, nothing weird since they weren't the only couple doing it.
12 am
"A hora do novato acabou, vamos cair na real desta vez" Finally, Fire & Ice took Chalant to a place of just samba.
"Woow. I thought this place was only packed during the carnaval"
"Tourist! There's always a party in Brazil!" They entered the just Samba zone and they were greeted by 2 women and 2 men, likely the place's entertainers, they looked like professional dancers, and give the four of them 4 fake pearl collars to each.
"Muito obrigado" Everyone thanked. "What are these for? Accessories?"
"Kinda. Usually, you exchange this for kisses" Tora explained.
"Yeah like if you see someone you like or find attractive or whatever, you give them one collar and you get a kiss in exchange…like no one forces you to do it but is usually how this things work" Beatriz continued.
"And other times people just give it to you if they like your vibe, you get tons of them if you dance a lot. Party people" Dick and Zee nodded.
"Now, Zatanna if you allow me!" Without further ado, the couple were dragged to where everyone was dancing. Beatriz grabbed Dick and teach him how to Samba and Tora did the same with Z.
"You are really good at it!"
"Thanks Tora. Dick and I go out a lot and like to dance. Just not Oounce music"
"Oounce?"
"That house electronic garbage that goes oounce-oounce-oounce"
"Ooh! Yeah. That ain't music. This is music" Zee was faster to catch up with the rhythm of the music and get in the mood than Dick. She giggles seeing her boyfriend struggling a lot more.
"You are really good at this"
"I've been traveling and living a lot with Beatriz. We got into hero business together. She showed me some Brazilian stuff and I did the same with her with stuff from my home and we learned together things from other places. She's truly my best friend"
"That's amazing and I get the feeling. Dick is not only my boyfriend but my best friend, partner in crime and well…everything" Tora smiled.
"So…am I hearing wedding bell?"
"I don't know. I hope so. Just not yet. We go into a really huge fight not long ago and we took this trip to bury the hatchet"
"Well…it seems that you dig really deep. You look amazing together and you are so in sync. So don't worry, I'm willing to bet that he has a ring for you or he's about to get one" Luckily for the girls with all the music and people around, Dick couldn't heard their conversation, although, he was too concentrated in learning how to dance Samba.
"C'mon! It's not that hard. Loose yourself Dick. Have fun"
"I'm having fun but this is harder than it looks"
"Look at Zatanna. She's better than you at this" Dick moved his gaze from his dance partner to the love of his life and got lost. Zee was so beautiful, she was dancing flawlessly and the way she was moving was hypnotizing. The way her hair, her hips and her legs were moving; the spark in her eyes, her smile, the sweat that only make her shine more.
"Dude! You are drooling. Stop thirsting over your wife and focus on your own skills" Fire throw the bait, she was waiting to see if he would react by her calling Zatanna his wife.
"I can't help it but I'm not that bad at dancing this"
"I just hope that you are a better detective"
"OMG! DICK!" Zee screamed in excitement when a certain song started.
"What?" She latched to his arm.
"It's the song from Rio! Y'know? The animated movie?" Once he put attention to the music, he realized that indeed was the song from the movie. He could recognize Jamie Fox's voice and got excited with Zee and they keep dancing like their life was depending on it.
2 am
?￢ﾝﾄ️? ﾟﾕﾵ? Group Chat
Beatriz ?: "Hey! Zatanna! Dick! Where are you guys?! Ice and I moved to the next club. We lose you with all the crowd. Text us back"
3 am
Dick? ﾟﾏﾻ: "Sorry. We were caught up with everything that we didn't check our phones. We are in the food stand in front of the first place we danced Samba. We were starving and thirsty.
Tora❄️: "Got it. See you there"
"Hey! Guys!" Fire and Ice spotted the couple eating pão de queijo, mandioca frito and drinking water.
"Hey! You want some. These are sooo good" Dick offered the girls as Zee ordered more food. It didn't take long for Tora to notice that Dick and Zatanna had a lot of sand on their back and hair.
"We know but I guess they are not as good as the beach, huh?" Dick shrugged before eating more.
"Went for a late night skinny dipping?"
"We were naked, yes but there was no swimming" Zee shamelessly admitted before keep drinking and eating.
7 am
Beep* Beep* Beep*
"Aggh…" With the little strength he has left. Grayson reaches for his phone to turn off the alarm without waking up the woman in his arms.
"Zee…baby…gorgeous" Zee curled into a ball on top of him, she moved her hand to his mouth to make him stop talking.
"Too early, too tired" The couple wasn't planning on partying that late. They arrived at their hotel around 5 am and stayed up talking, trying to calm their rush.
"Jeez. I gotta give it to you guys. You know how to party!" Another tired voice was coming from the living room's couch.
"Hangover?" Dick asks to Beatriz who was just wearing a hotel's silk robe.
"Me? Please. We Latinos aren't the lightweights that you Americans are…" Dick looked around the room and couldn't find Ice.
"Where's Tora?"
"On the floor. We pass out in the couch together but I guess I kicked her out" Dick chuckled. Even if he didn't drink, he was quite dizzy because of the loud music and the lack of sleep.
"Are you up for the hike and the hang glider?"
"I don't know. You think you can wake up sleeping beauty?" Dick looks down to Zee, who was out for the count.
"You think you can wake up Tora?" Beatriz and Grayson smiled at each other.
9 am
"You are so lucky that I love you…" Zatanna was tired from all the walking.
"Hey! I don't know what are you complaining about? You sorber up yourself with your magic"
"But I'm still tired. I need to sleep" Zatanna, Tora and Beatriz were dragging their bodies.
"I'm with Zatanna on this one…"
"But still pretty neat trick you got there. I need to party more with you to get rid of the hangovers" Beatriz looks in disbelief the man's energy.
"How in the earth do you still have so much energy after sleeping like for just one hour?!" Tora didn't think it was fair for the man to be that fresh.
"I'm used to sleepless nights. Detective work and all that"
"Zatanna. Would you mind if I kill your boyfriend for waking us up and torture us with this? We could've waited until tomorrow to do this trip…"
"Don't worry. I might kill him myself…"
"We can't do this tomorrow because Zee's crew arrives and there are stuff to fix with her show and I need to make sure that the psycho that sent all those letters isn't near Zee or anyone from the show" Against all the odds. The group of friend manages to make the trip, the hand glider and other activities before Ice and Fire decided to go for a light coma in their place.
Realm of Fate
"Nabu. How's my daughter?"
"She's fine…she's on Brazil as you already now. Her show is over and she's with Richard, they are looking the city from above"
"Please, Great Nabu. Allow me to check on my daughter" Nabu growled with Zatara's request.
"Fine. But I don't know what you want to see. She's with Nightwing…." Nabu agreed before creating a window that showed the couple together at a lookout in Brazil.
"This is really beautiful. Yawn*" Zee rested her head in his shoulder. She was very tired from her shows, the side mission, the death threats and all the fun.
"It really is. I almost don't want to go back home…"
"Yawn* I feel the same but we still have things to do before living in eternal honeymoon. Yawn*" Zee didn't realized what she said. She was more asleep than awake but Dick couldn't hold his smile, just the thought of being with Zee forever was renewing his energies.
"Let's go back to the hotel. Your crew is arriving tomorrow and we need to check that everything is perfect for your show plus you are really tired"
"Ahhh Dick! What are you doing?" Zee yelps in surprise as Dick picks her up bridal style, even if she was kinda protesting, she curled up into him wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I'm carrying back to the hotel…"
"It's like really far…Yawn* I can walk"
"Zee…I would walk one thousand miles and then another thousand just for you…" Dick takes a moment to wait for her to respond. "No witty remark? No telling me that I'm exaggerating?"
"No. I believe you. You are my heart, my boy wonder" She used the little strength she has left to pull his head closer to her lips, planting a big kiss on his cheek, leaving the red lipstick mark behind.
"And you are mine, Miss Magic" Dick keep walking until he reached the Main Street where he asked for a taxi. Zee was out for the count and the cab didn't took long to arrive.
"Boa noite, senhor"
"Boa noite" Carefully, Dick got in the car making sure that Zee wouldn't wake up. Grayson told the driver where they were staying and quickly, the man started driving.
"Não se preocupe, não há carros e chegaremos em nenhum momento" The driver couldn't help but to look at the couple through the mirror and smiled seeing the man taking a strand out of the woman's face and looking at her with so much fascination. "Noite difícil?"
"Agitado, mas divertido"
"Ela é sua esposa?"
"Ainda não, mas espero que um dia" The rest of the trip to the hotel was quiet and they got safe to their destination.
Realm of Fate
"Why are you smiling? I thought you didn't approve of their relationship and that you didn't like Richard…"
"It's a little bit more complicated than that. No one would ever be good enough for my little girl"
"Then? What's with the smile?"
"He's the closest that anyone would ever be and I'm happy that she's in safe hands"
"Humans and your weird costumes"
"Kinda surprised that you don't recognize fate when you see those two together…"
