"Listen here, gorgeous. You are young, smart and successful. You are a public figure, something like this can ruin your career"
Dick puts and empty carpet on the table. He was wearing a white shirt, blue pants, and a tie. He rolls up his sleeve.
"I don't know what you are talking about! I did nothing wrong"
Grayson hits the metal table.
"You did nothing wrong? Then how do you explain all these boxes? What is the content of these boxes?"
The man points to all the packed things, the woman just looks to the side.
"I knew it. Listen, I'm being easy on you…my partner won't be so nice"
Dick signals Pocus, who was seated in a corner wearing an eye patch, a handkerchief and a pirate's hat. Zatanna does her best to not laugh before glaring at the Detective.
"Why is your partner dressed like a pirate?"
"I'm the one asking the questions here"
The magician rolls her eyes.
"What is your endgame? Why all the boxes? Where are you going? Where have you been my whole life?!"
Zatanna smirks at him.
"I'm the one, who should ask that question!"
Dick looks confused at her.
"Niahc mih ot eht riahc! We meet when I was 14 and you 13, meaning that I have to wait longer for you!"
Dick gets pulled by the chains and abruptly falls on the chair, making him unable to move.
"Pocus, help me!"
The couple sees how the bunny jumps out of the scene knowing what her parents are up to.
"You! You bribe my partner"
Zatanna straddles him.
"A couple of carrots were enough. Now, it's my time to have my way with you"
Dick struggles to move.
"Magic chains, honey"
"Aren't you going to release me?"
"Where's the fun in that. Sit back and enjoy"
Zee starts kissing him like there was no tomorrow.
"That was amazing"
Zee gets off her husband.
"For you maybe? You know how hard is to have all of that so close and be unable to touch it"
Dick stretches himself.
"You know that I do and don't pretend that you didn't enjoy it"
"Oh, I did. You are unbelievably, Zee"
"I try and I'd like to go another round but we have to get ready?"
Zatanna walks to their room and stops at the frame of their door.
"What for? Where are you taking me for our date?"
Dick asks his wife and Zatanna frowns.
"Do you really don't remember?"
Dick steps back at her change of humor.
"Happy…wait before you say anything else, after what you did to me, you are lucky that I didn't lose all my brains functions"
"It seems like you did!"
Zatanna slams the door of her room.
"Wait! Zee, I'm joking"
Dick tries to talk to her but the door was locked.
"How can I not remember this day, Zee? It's really important for you, for me!"
"What is it? Answer carefully"
"You get your award today as the Performer of the millennium…I have my tux in the closet and I ask Bruce for a car since you don't like our SUV and we can't go in bike"
Dick keeps his head close to the door.
"Which car?"
He smiles hearing her voice.
"Black Maserati"
She opens the door.
"You are a fool"
Dick hugs her tight.
"I will never forget something that is important to you because it's important to me and more since the world is finally recognizing your talent"
She jumps and hugs his torso with her legs.
"I love you, let's go to the shower"
"This is Cat Grant and we are reporting live from the event of the year. All types of celebrities gather up today, from actors and actress to musicians, CEO's…and everyone is waiting for the honor guest. That's right, Top Show Perfomer, Zatanna Zatara is going to get the recognition of the Performer of the Millennium"
All the cameras were focus on the celebrities arriving, taking multiple pictures, fans cheering for their favorites and reporters from all around the world.
"I thinks she's finally here!"
The press goes wild as they see Richard Grayson, now, also knows as Nightwing, getting out of his car. The man was rocking a dark blue tuxedo with a black lapel, bow tie, white shirt and Z shaped cufflinks. The man signals the valet to stop and walks around the car to open the door for his wife and helps her getting out of the car.
"Woow. When I thought that Richard Grayson couldn't look any better he shows up like this"
The reporter was practically drooling over the man. Suddenly, everyone froze in their place as the stage magician steps out of the car. The crowd goes nuts as they see what the performer was wearing, a satin black dress, holding up by the grace of two thin spaghetti straps with a deep v plunge to just above her navel and slits that cut sinfully close to her upper thigh, dangerously revealing the tantalizingly, bountiful expanse of her shapely legs, long black silk gloves that reached a little over her elbow, a D shaped necklace and very modest Z shaped earrings. The magician tied her hair up in a messy bun, leaving a curtain of hair to frame the front side of her face with curls.
"Oh my god! Zatanna Zatara does it again and steals the show before it starts"
Another reporter comments.
"This is it folks! This is the couple of the couples. They should get an another award for the best looking couple"
All the reporters go wild and the cameras start taking photos like they never did before. The couple walks the red carpet, posing from different angles.
"Richard! Will you allows us to take some photos of Zatanna by herself?"
They politely ask the man as he kiss her cheek and takes her purse for her. They keep taking picture of magician and Dick watches from the side with a look full of love, pride and lust. Some camera man doesn't let that slip away and take pictures of the man.
"Zatanna. What side do you prefer? What is it your good side?"
Zee smiles at them.
"I don't care. All my sides are good"
They all agree with the raven beauty then signals her date that he could came closer to her and the reporters start asking questions.
"Clark Kent, Daily Planet. First, you look amazing, Zatanna, you both do. Second, congrats on your recognition and third, how does it feel to be the youngest person to ever get this award?"
The couple throws the formalities out of the window with their old friend and hug him properly.
"C'mon, Clark. We go way back and I'm kinda surprised that you are covering this…"
The magician tells the man, fully knowing of his track record of getting punished by his boss for getting late or gettin' god knows where.
"You know how this is…"
"Well, to answer your questions; first, thank you so much. Second, it feels like a great honor and more knowing all the amazing talent that is showing up around the world"
Another reporter comes and asks another question.
"You look stunning, Zatanna but you always do but I have to ask…did you dress your husband as well?"
Dick scratches the back of his head.
"Actually, no. He has an amazing sense of style and good taste…for proof just look to his knock out wife"
Dick pecks her on the cheek.
"Zatanna, how does it feel to be not just the most talented woman on Earth but one of the most hated as well. I mean you have your fair share of enemies after taking Richard out of the market but a few days ago, we learned that you snatched Nightwing as well. The blue hero has a strong fandom behind him"
"Well, talent can get you so far, it takes hours of dedication, a lot patience, tears, laughs, long nights and the most important thing: support. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for my amazing crew, friends, our pet bunny and my amazing husband and for the second part…what can I say? I saw him, I fall for him and now he's mine"
Dick leans closer to the mic.
"She's being modest. Zee has crazy talent, she works harder than anyone I ever meet plus…she's hotter than the sun"
The reporter smiles and another one comes to ask another question.
"Richard or Nightwing…hehe"
"You can call me Dick"
"Well, Dick. Tell me, how do you feel about your wife's success? It doesn't intimidate you?"
Dick looks at Zee before answering.
"I couldn't be prouder of her. Her victories are my victories, her loses are mine as well. If she's happy, I'm happy. Intimidating by her success? Please, this is just another step for her. The name Zatanna Zatara will be a reference for multiple generations to come and the best role model there is"
The interview continues.
"Amazing answers, truly. This question is for the both of you…how does being in the League together is going to affect your relationship and your performance on the battlefield?"
"We are a team. Ask whoever you want or even watch the tapes, we work as a unit on the battlefield. We trust in each other's skills…"
Dick let's Zatanna to complete her answer.
"But it ain't easy, we get worry sick about the other but as long as he watching me, I know I couldn't be any safer. If we have something, besides an undying love and obsession for the other, is trust"
A couple persons away. There was another couple being interviewed.
"Tell us, Mr. Wayne. What does it feel to have such a talented daughter in law?"
"I'm proud of her. I know her since she was little and she has been part of my family for so long. For the way my son, Dick, reacted when he first lied eyes on her… I knew that they were meant to be together forever"
Bruce was wearing a black tuxedo and was with Talia, who was wearing a green dress.
"And tell me? Did you ever suspect of your son being the vigilante and now Justice Leaguer, Nightwing?"
"I didn't have any idea of that until he come clean to me a few weeks before he was inducted in the League. He asked for my permission and blessing. He was worry about our family's well being…"
"And what did you tell him?"
"That maybe with two Justice Leaguer in the family, the crazy people from Gotham would stop trying to kidnap us every other day"
The reporter laughs at his answer.
"Are you worry about him getting hurt and getting over his head?"
"As a parent, we will always worry about our kids…it doesn't matter if he's fighting alongside the super heroes or if he's working as a pediatrician. Dick knows what he's doing, he has the skills and frankly I'm happy that he has Zatanna so they can take care of each other"
"You say that he has skills…what do you mean by that?"
"Everyone has seen Nightwing in action and more since he became public. But since he was a kid, given his circus background, he has an amazing strength, agility, endurance and dedication I remember when he first move into the Manor, he was always giving Alfred and I a heart attack when he would walk over the railing or hanging from the chandelier. I have to build a gym in the Manor…"
"So, is safe to say that he's your favorite since you build a gym for him?"
"No. I love all my sons. For Jason, I make the library bigger and got him more books, Tim loves tech and he has access to the most advanced stuff at Wayne's and for Damian…"
"My beloved built a sanctuary for our son's pets"
Talia finishes Bruce's idea.
"Right. What about you Talia? Did you ever suspect of him?"
"Actually, I did. I remember when I first saw Nightwing on television and see that peculiar suit. I have to call Bruce to ask him if it was Dick"
"Oohhh! You are referring to the suit that is commonly known as the Discowing, right?"
"That one. After Talia's call and see it for myself I have to call him. He's the only person that I know that would ever wear something like…"
"Hey! I pull that look off!"
Grayson was eavesdropping Bruce's interview.
"Of course you did, son"
The family greets each other.
"Woow. It's a treat for the sore eyes, not only to see the hottest couples but the most successful as well…I mean we have CEO of Wayne's Company, LexCorp, Top Performer and two Justice Leaguers"
Chalant smiles at each other.
"Actually, two performer as well. Soon enough, the flying Grayson is going to fly on the trapezes on Haly's Circus"
Nightwing announces to the world for the first time.
"And not only that…I'm going to be part of his debut as we are making Dick Grayson, The Prince of the High Wire…"
"And Zatanna Zatara, The Princess of Prestidigitations, show"
"We are making a couple of special shows were all the earnings are going to charity to the orphans and to help people fight against cancer"
"I can't believe it! THIS IS AN EXCLUSIVE! You heard it here first folks. And tell me, is this is going to be a regular thing?"
"No, it's only for his debut and to raise money. After that you can follow him alongside the Haly's Circus around the World in one of his tours"
"And you can keep getting mesmerized, thrilled and so much more with Zee's shows on her World Tour"
The reporter keeps asking for more info about that special event.
"Excuse me. I didn't order this"
Zatanna kindly tells the bartender as he handles her a cocktail.
"It's from the gentleman over there"
Zee turns her eyes to a tall, handsome and muscular raven haired man as he walks towards the magician.
"Thanks for the drink. I really love this cocktail, how did you know kind sir?"
Zatanna drinks her orgasm cocktail.
"Just a hunch. You look like a woman with taste"
Sensing his intentions she decides to cut the conversation.
"I'm sorry but I better leave, I-"
The sorceress was making her exit but the man stopped by gently taking her hand.
"Let's dance"
He pulls her close to him and he snakes his other arm around her waist as a Tango song starts. Zatanna's breath hitched with the tactic and seeing those blue eyes. She was barely able to nod as he starts taking her to the dance area.
"So tell me, what is a woman like you doing in a place like this?"
They move at the rhythm of the song. She was hypnotized by the dancing skills of the man that it took her some time to answer him.
"If you must know…"
The gentleman applies a little force on her lower back and leans closer, making her bend slightly backwards as they follow the music tempo.
"It's nothing too complicated…good catholic schoolgirl with strict parents looks for some action and fun and starts dating the wrong person"
He push her gently before pulling her back closer to her and keep moving to the side.
"Go on"
"You asked for it…first there was this cute, brave and amazing boy, he was a nervous wreck when first saw me and did all kind of stuff to try to impress but between us…he had me at hi"
"He doesn't sound like a bad boy"
"Oh. He was very mischievous and chaotic. He loved to mess up with people and bend the rules. He stole his father's special car more than once just to take me for a ride and sneak me into his house a couple of times"
The magician bites her bottom lip with the memories.
"What happened to him?"
"He just vanish, one day he was here and the next he wasn't. He was my first at a lot of things…he was a little bit short tho"
The man frowns at that.
"But big where it counts, y'know? Like his heart and namesake"
"What was his name?"
The woman slyly smiles him.
"The second one was really something else, I even moved with him after a few days of meeting him. He was so muscular, smart and tender but it didn't work"
"Why?"
They draw circles with their right foot before keeping the basic tango waking.
"He was too obsessed with his work. There was a lot of working stuff at home and barely paid attention to me…I can't be with someone that's more into his work than in me"
Once again they do another embellishment with her rubbing his leg with her foot.
"I can't imagine someone not paying attention to you 24/7"
"That's what everyone says at the beginning"
Zatanna answers between sighs.
"Y'know what the say about people that are good at dancing together?"
She smirks at him.
"No, what?"
He moves his hand from his waist, passing the hips and some leg before grabbing it and lifting it. She hooks her leg with him as they both slowly go down.
"That they must be hella good at bed"
"Easy…I'm a marry woman even if this glove doesn't allow me to show it off"
"Good. Now we have more reasons to keep them on and another thing in common"
"Another?"
"Yeah. We are both good looking people, talented and married…"
"And shouldn't you be with your wife?"
She arches her eyebrow.
"I saw her dancing with a very hot guy moments ago. She must be fine, she knows how to take care of herself"
"Maybe she's dancing with my husband. I saw him taking the hottest woman that I've ever seen towards the dance floor"
"That makes us even…"
"In that case…what is your name good sir? I need a name to leave a note before I leave you in the morning"
"Cocky, are we? If you must know, the name is Ricardo"
He whispers to her ear and Zatanna feels the goosebumps all over her body.
"But what makes you think that you are leaving in the morning, perhaps I'm the one who goes away"
"You know that I got the award of the performer of the millennium, right?"
Ricardo nods.
"That's not even the half of my skills, not even a little bit"
He almost lose it with that. The way she whispered to his ear before pitching his earlobe with her teeth and that dress that did not help with his unholy thoughts. He does his best to hold back a groan.
"Lucky me. Everyone in this party has been watching you with that killing dress, my lady"
"But you are going to do so much more. You are going to be allowed to take it off and see what's underneath. So, your place or mine?"
"No, need. I have the best room in this hotel waiting for us"
Ricardo pulls the keycard from his suit. That was all the woman needed to take him into the building.
"Good morning, big time"
Dick greets the love of his life as she starts to stir and readjusting herself on his chest.
"Good morning, hotshot"
She plants feathery kisses on his toned chest.
"Wasn't I supposed to wake up to a note from you?"
He teases her.
"Well, this is one of the times that I love to be wrong…"
"Wrong about what?"
"I thought that Ricardo best skills were at the dance floor and I'm so happy to be wrong, sooo wrong"
She moves to peck his lips and goes back to her spot.
"What is it, Zee?"
"Huh?"
"Your breathing just change and you are doing those circles on my chest with you finger, are you okay?"
Zatanna abruptly gets up and sits on the edge of the bed. He follows her, sitting behind her, gently wrapping his hands around her waist and she leans back to rest on him.
"I'm worry, nervous and scared…"
"About what? Zatanna, we just started trying and you haven't even take a test"
She takes a deep breath.
"What if it comes negative?"
"We keep trying until it gets positive but y'know what? No matter what, we are together and I'm sure that when our baby decides to come, we are going to love her so much, and care for…"
"That goes without saying but is a she already?"
"Well, my father's instincts told me that and she's going to be as amazing, beautiful, smart and brave as her mother…"
He plants feathery kisses on her neck and shoulder.
"Dick, baby, the fact that you do and love dad's jokes that doesn't mean that you have father's instincts besides, my mother and woman's instincts are telling me that he's a boy just as strong, brave, handsome and intelligent as his father"
The magician finally eases a bit.
"That sounds amazing but you are wrong. We are having a baby girl first but that's the spirit, Zee…"
She just smiles.
"Dick, our date number 31 is the next week…what if I take the test that day"
"Whatever you want, I'm in"
"Thanks for whelming me"
"Hey! It's my job and my passion. Me, being with you, that's my true calling. Just like now, did you notice how you automatically lean back on me? That will always be me, the one that have your back no matter what"
She twist herself a little bit to catch his lips and they stayed on that position for a bit longer.
"Is that?"
"Ready to keep trying?"
She pushes him on his back and straddles him.
"Let's dance some more, Ricardo"
She leans on him as she sits on him in one go. She shakes and lets a heavy breath go. Dick moves his hands to her butt and squeezes.
"Let's groove"
