"Dad, are you sure? We can always take Pocus with us…"

"Absolutely. Besides, I'd be nice to have some company and more since she reminds me of you, no that I need someone to do that…"

"Huh? What do you mean by that? From where did you get that?"

"From Richard. I didn't see it at first until he mentioned the other day that you and Pocus are alike"

The couple turns beet red. Pocus has been bouncing around non stop since the moved in, with the extra space that she got with the house and the bigger garden with food for her.

"Right. I mean, you two are adorable, cute, big blue eyes…"

Dick explains himself.

"In any case, then you better watch out, you are in charge and don't let him convince you of anything rash with those pleading eyes, do you understand?"

"Piccola, we were just talking about her being a she…"

"I know. I was talking to Pocus"

Zatanna slyly smiles at her father.

"She does the same to me when she leaves me with Pocus…"

Dick pats his father in law's back.

"Richard John Grayson! Do I need to remind you that my dad lives with us now?! You can't make those comments around him!"

Zee starts scolding her best friend as they drive to their house nearest Zeta-tube.

"What?! I wasn't lying about you being adorable, cute-"

"Don't play dumb. You said that Pocus and I are alike because of other reason and you know it!"

"Maybe but I handle the situation. He suspects nothing"

The magician glares at her husband.

"Okay. I'm sorry. I promise that I'm going to be more careful…"

She tries to keep her gaze on him but he put his puppy eyes and makes her crack like an egg.

"That's not fair. You are not to use my techniques against me!"

Grayson keeps his attack going.

"Fine. But this is the last time and because I don't want to start our trip mad at you"

"C'mon, Zee. It wasn't that bad! It's not like he doesn't know what we do…I'm sure that your dad knows where the babies come from"

"Baby. Your bravery is going to take you to places that I'm sure that you don't want to be"

"Alright I yield. In any case, what are we wearing for these trip? You just told me that you bought our outfits and stuff but what's the theme for the fashion show?"

The woman mischievously smiles.

"Zee if you don't hurry up, we are going to be late for the opening and then you are going to blame me"

Dick calls for the love of his life and he straightens his suit. He wasn't a fan of the whole formal set up but he did it when he was a kid for Alfred and Bruce, of course he would do it for her.

"I'm almost done. Ready to get whelmed, Boy Wonder?"

As those words enter Dick's system, he knew he was in for a treat and for a problem. He didn't have more time to order his thoughts as the raven beauty he has for a wife, emerger from their room of the rental house. She was wearing a backless black dress that hug her curves just right and a slid on her right leg that showcased those long and fit legs that he loved so much.

"Love, are you sure that we need to go to this event? Can't we skip it?"

Dick asks his wife as she just walk like a panther stalking her prey.

"Why? Don't you like what I'm wearing?"

The man gulps as she gets closer and fix his tie. He can smell her perfume and was driving him crazy.

"I love it. I need to do all kinds of thing while you are wearing it and then without and then again with it until I die from a heart attack and dehydration…"

The magician responds by pushing him back and making him fall on the couch. She slightly lifts her dress to straddle him, she grabs her hair and puts it to the side and ghost his lips.

"We can arrange something like that…if you behave"

Dick tries to catch her lips but Zatanna pulls back in the last second getting a groan from the man. She gets up and walks away from him, giving an extra sway to her hips.

"C'mon, Dick. You say it yourself, we are going to be late"

She turns her head to catch him looking straight to her ass. When Dick moves his gaze from her butt to her face, he sees her winking at him and with a head movement signaling him to follow her. The man stands up and adjust his pants to follow the raven beauty.

"I can't believe that the most famous and good looking couple is here! You arrived just in time to save my skin from this huge mess!"

Adrian tells the couple.

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Adrian?"

Grayson asks.

"You see. One of our models got sick and can't present her part of the show and she was going to present our most important set…and since the lovely Zatanna is here. I was wondering if you can sub in for her?"

"Me? But what do you want me to do? I have never done something like this before…"

"Are you kidding me, Zee? What about all the red carpets we have attend to since we were younger. You always take the spotlight. There's no one as beautiful as you and let's not get in your style, the way you walk…"

"Your husband is right. Would you please help us?"

The man was ready to get on his knees to beg for her help.

"Fine. I guess is going to be fun and I've been wondering what it feels like to be a model…even if it is just for one day"

Adrian smiles at the positive response from the woman and proceeds to turn his gaze towards Grayson.

"And what do you say?"

Dick was confused with the question.

"That she's doing it? She have my support, always"

Zatanna squeezes his hand.

"Thats so sweet but are you going to help us as well?"

"Unlike her, I'm not cut for modeling…"

"You are so humble but that's not what I'm asking. I need your help with the auction…"

"He will do it without a problem, right, hubby?"

Zatanna knew that he couldn't resist her eyes.

"Whatever the boss says…"

Adrian lefts the couple with a smile on his face.

"So you can use that tactic but I can't?"

"That's right, handsome. Now, let's go to backstage and get me modeling ready!"

The couples gets in contact with the staff from the show and ask for the right direction and where Zatanna can do the dress fitting.

"Don't you think that we should've asked what am I going to do?"

"It's an auction Dick, not a talent show…likely you are just presenting the item or something like that?"

"What if I'm the ITEM? Don't you remember that time that they auctioned a date with Bruce and he didn't know about it until he was already on stage?"

"Don't be silly. I doubt they'd do that to the husband of a very powerful and super jealous Justice Leaguer…if we weren't married, I'd be worry"

"If you say so…."

"What do you mean that I can't stay and watch you get change?! I just want to make sure that everything is alright"

A distraught Dick Grayson was getting kicked out of the change room.

"You have to wait and see me on those outfits like everyone else"

Zatanna was pushing Dick out of her dressing room.

"B-b-but-but"

"Not buts and if you keep this attitude you are not getting anything from me later tonight…"

Grayson just smirks at her, fully knowing that it was a bluff.

"Alright. You got me there but still I'm going to be so mad. Just go and find a nice seat and you better not watch the other women…you are a marry man"

"Even if we weren't married, I wouldn't look at someone else, I just have eyes for you"

The magician smiles and pecks his lips before shutting the door. She keeps leaning on the door for a few moments, biting her bottom lip to restrain the urge of pulling him back in and having her way with him.

"You really have him on his toes, don't you?"

Zatanna jumps from her place hearing another voice.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Isn't very smart from me to do that to a Justice Leaguer…"

"No, I wasn't here. It's my fault. I'm Zatanna, a pleasure to meet you"

"Mari McCabe but call me just Mari. It's a pleasure to meet you"

The magician examines the gorgeous black woman in front of her. She could tell that she was a model not only because of her looks or because she saw her in magazines or in another fashion shows but due to her presence.

"I know who you are an you are so much beautiful in person. I love all the cloths you wear, you have such an amazing style"

The women sakes hands.

"It's an honor that a top performer like you recognizes my job and I'm a fan of yours myself. I went to your magic show earlier this year and blown my mind away"

Both woman blushes with the compliments.

"Than you. You are so kind"

"Anyway, is that hunk of a man the infamous Dick Grayson?"

"Yeah. That amazing man is my partner in everything"

"If you don't mind me asking…how did you land him? I mean you are obviously super attractive and hot but he has a reputation"

Zee softly smiles at that comment. It was a very common question for her.

"That's the thing. He isn't like that, y'know? We meet when I was 14 and he 13 and practically start dating right away and we've been together ever since…"

Mari opens her eyes in surprise.

"Wait! Is that a real thing? I thought that it was something that you say to the media and everything to sell your love story and avoid problems with the tabloids"

"No, 100% real. We are each other's first and only relationship and couldn't be any happier. He got that reputation because he rejected a lot of girls because of me and a lot of his closest friends are girls as well, like U.N secretary Troia although we know her as Donna and the same with other women on his life"

"Damned girl. You caught that since you were teens and never let him go. Did you pull a spell on him?"

Zatanna shrugs her shoulders.

"Secret"

Both laugh at that comment before reality hits Zatanna.

"Don't take this the wrong way, Mari but how did you get in here?"

"Oh, that. I was sent here to help you with everything but I'm sure that you are a natural. There are another entrance for models, make up artist and dressers to help us during these times without having to cross paths with the staff members if we use the other door"

"That makes sense. In my shows, we do the same to make everything more efficient and not get in the other's way"

"Mr. Grayson. Please this way…since your wife is modeling for us, we got you a better seat so you can't feast your eyes in front seat"

Adrian starts pulling Dick to his new seat that was in the front and center of the stage.

"Thanks, Adrian"

It takes a couple of moments for the lights to go out and the announcer presents the first models as the music sounds on the background. The models starts walking one by one, Dick recognizes some of the girls from Bruce's galas and other high end events he has attend with Zatanna, others from being kidnapped, fashion shows that he has attend and watched with Zee, and some others that try to hit on him or Zatanna and some on both of them.

"Now, for our newest collection. Give it up for Mari, our very own Vixen!"

Dick immediately recognizes the woman modeling, she is one of the top performers in the fashion show business. He has bought a lot of her clothes for Zatanna. As soon as the woman reaches the end of the aisle, she locks eyes with Dick and winks at him. Dick got confused because that wink wasn't a flirty one but a teasing one.

"And now, this is a special appearance for our collection. She's one of the most fierce and beautiful woman in the world. A top performer in the show business, a Justice Leaguer and so much more. I give you, The Mistress of Magic, Zatanna Zatara"

For Dick Grayson, the music stops to sound, the room went empty, there were no more lights than the light that was following her as she walks with determination. If he didn't knew her, he would thought that she was a professional model. The man has been mesmerized by Zatanna's beauty since day one. But somehow, he still gets taken aback by her sheer gorgeousness. He doesn't even pay attention of what she's wearing, he gets lost on those big blue eyes that he has the fortune to see everyday. She looks like an angel or a goddess on Earth. She reaches to the end of the walking area and strikes a couple of poses for the press but her eyes were on him the whole time.

"How did I do? It was so much fun"

After getting back to her normal formal clothes, she meets with him that couldn't stop looking at her with loving eyes.

"You are the most ravishing woman in the universe, Zee. I couldn't be any happier or luckier that you picked me as your life's partner"

Dick tenderly cups her face.

"I'm the lucky one to have someone as supportive. And it's that drool that spot on my prim husband?"

Zee pretends to wipe some saliva from the corner of his mouth.

"Yeah. I was kinda falling asleep with this new model. She has the looks but she totally lacks the experience to do this kind of stuff, y'know?"

She smacks him.

"You didn't?! I'm sure that you are not talking about your very professional wife…"

Dick nervously looks to the side.

"Shouldn't we look for Adrian for the auction?"

He takes her hand as the walk towards where the auction is supposed to take place.

"Don't change the topic…"

He answer her by bringing her hand to his lips.

"Don't worry, Zee. You are still the MAGIC performer of the millennium"

"Okay. Mr. Grayson, I'm going to need you to follow me for the next part and thank you once again for helping us. Everything we get tonight is to make our health and school system even better. So, my deepest thanks to the both of you"

Sherl, the auction manager does a quick bow thanking the couple.

"No need. You needed help and we answered it"

Dick responds.

"It's what we do"

Zatanna ends the sentence.

"You are so cute together. Can I get I picture with you?"

The couple nods and Sherl takes a selfie with the Leaguer.

"Thank you so much. Mrs. Grayson once I settle Dick back there, I'm coming back for you to give you a nice spot and your bidding card"

"Actually, she's not Mrs. Grayson. She didn't took my name…Mrs. Zatara more like it"

Zatanna frowns a little at that. She has discussed that with Dick before and he was really cool about it, both of them were fond with their family names but still she loved being called Mrs. Grayson and also knew that Dick corrected them not because he didn't like it but more out of respect of her name. Still, she keeps wondering about taking his name in one way or another.

"My apologize. Mrs. Zatara, it won't take us long…Mr. Grayson follow me"

Dick pecks her lips.

"Don't lose our house!"

She chuckles and rolls her eyes at her husband's comment.

"Mr. Grayson…"

"No need to be so formal, Sherl. You can call me Dick"

"Thanks, Mr. Gr-I mean Dick…"

"You can ask"

Sherl looks surprised at the man next to her and then she remembers that she was dealing with a leaguer and ex-detective.

"You are truly in love with your wife, right?"

"I wouldn't have marry her if I wasn't, don't you think?"

"Right. Right…it's just that, in all the interviews and shows that either you or her or the two have attended, you always says that you are each other's first and only relationship"

"Yeah, that's true"

"And how did you manage that? Have you ever been tempted to be with someone else? Or maybe breaking up with her? Or anything like that?"

Dick takes a deep breath and the woman gets nervous thinking that she crossed a line.

"I'm sorry. I sh-"

"Don't worry. It hasn't been easy because we have our problems like any other couple. We hit our own good set of rough patch and everything but at the end of the day…she's everything I want and need and so much more. And no, I haven't thought about being with someone else that isn't Zatanna. She's not an option, y'know? She's my destiny"

The woman smiles and as he answers her question, they arrived to their destination.

"Thanks for your kind response. Mmm…Dick"

"Anytime, Sherl. Also, can I ask you what am I presenting?"

The woman looks quizzical to the man.

"What do you mean?"

"Yeah. For the auction or what am I doing?"

"No one tell you? or Zatanna?!"

Dick starts sweating once Sherl explains the dynamic to him.

"Hi, Mrs. Zatanna. My partner told me that she's talking longer helping Mr. Grayson and ask me to help you get settle. My name is Aly"

Another woman with a name tag and formal clothes approaches the magician.

"Thanks, it's a pleasure to meet you. Your name is just like my manager's"

"That's amazing. Then you won't forget about me. Anyway, follow me please"

The women make their way to the bidding area and Aly handles the raven woman her stuff for her bidding.

"This is your spot and this is your number. In the name of this fashion show and the company I'd like to thank you for your support in the fashion show and now in the auction"

Aly does a quick bow.

"No need. I had fun and Di-my husband and I always love to help people and specially when it's to help the cities get better"

"No rest for the heroes, I see"

"You don't have any idea"

Aly leaves Zee alone. A waitress soon enough brought her some champagne and she starts enjoying the drink after making it alcohol free. She giggles remembering just what she did by walking with all those famous models. She was a natural, she wasn't nervous about the crowd or the photos but she remembers how the moment she spotted her man, everything and everyone disappeared. There was just Nightwing and Zatanna, Dick and Zee, the Prince of the High Wire and the Princess of Prestidigitations; sometimes she feels like 14 again, she wanted to jump onto his arms once she was in front on him. She knew that she would get the chance later that nigh.

"Thanks everyone for waiting. The auction will start in a few moments"

Everyone takes their seats and patiently waits for the event to start. As any event, they started with the smaller stuff, some jewelry and paintings donated by local billionaires and millionaires. Then the heavy stuff comes in with family heirlooms, historic artifacts, famous paintings, among other stuff. Zatanna keeps wondering what Dick was bringing with him but whatever it was, she was sure that nobody was paying attention to the item but to him. She loved, at some extent, that women and men alike will thirst over her husband but at the end of the day, she was the only one for him.

"Now, the special token of the night. It's a dinner date with a very famous and handsome man. He's recently step into the light and joined the Justice League…"

Zatanna almost spills her drink hearing that Dick was actually right and that they were auctioning a dinner date with him.

"Our last and most important item of the night is nothing else than a dinner date, at one of the finest Milan's restaurant, with Richard Grayson also known as Nightwing"

The people tried to keep their cool but Zee could hear all the gasp and gossip going around.

"The bid will start with 10,000 dollars"

"100,000!"

A young woman in her 30's was quick to answer that.

"150,000"

Another offer coming yet from another girl.

"200,000"

Zatanna was loosing her footing. She was still shocked by the audacity from the managers of the event to auctioning HER HUSBAND.

"300,000"

"We have an in home bud for 300,000 from Wayne Industries"

Hearing that her father in law has her back help her relax a bit.

"310,000"

"350,000"

Dick was locking eyes with Zee and she could tell that he didn't wanted to be there and to help him out of there.

"500,000!"

Zatanna takes the lead by increasing the amount. The woman in the event were going nuts. There was their chance to steal away Dick Grayson from the magician's hand.

"750,000"

A couple of models decided to team up and split the bill for Grayson.

"They inform me that Lex Corp just raised the bid for 800,000"

Zatanna breaths again hearing that Damian's mom was helping her too.

"1'000,000"

Zatanna couldn't believe the other women's thirstiness by offering that much for HER man. She didn't know what to do…in what hand she didn't want for her husband to go on a dinner date with models and in the other hand she wasn't sure if it'd be wise for her to spend that much money. Her show were doing amazing but they were always careful with their money. They had a lot of foundations and other kinds of help going on with the money and plus the new trust fund they were building for their kids.

"1'200,000"

Zatanna turns her gaze and see that the were now 5 models paying for her husband. She was about to throw her saving through the window but someone handed a note to her.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen. We got an anonymous offer and we checked that everything was good and it is. The new bid is for 1'500,000…does anyone want to raise that?"

Dick looks to his love and sees that she was shocked with the note she was reading. Dick was praying for Bruce or Talia to make another bid for him but it never came and he has now to go on a date with whoever the anonymous person wanted.

"Zee, what are we going to do? I have to do this or else is going to be very bad for hospitals and kids and everything but I don't want to go on a date with any-"

The magician catches his lips and after breaking apart. He sees her giant smile.

"Why are you so cool about this? As far as we know I can be on my way to a date with 10 Russian models or from the ballet or whatever…"

Zatanna caresses his cheek.

"You are dating someone much better than 10 models or whatever…look what I got"

Dick was still confused and grabs the note that he saw her reading earlier.

"No one goes on a romantic date with my boy but you, Mrs. Zatanna"

-Alfred

P.S.: Please read the fine print next time. I'm building a trust fund for all the young masters and your kids as well.

The man smiles knowing that once again Alfred was the true hero.

"From where did Alfred got so much money?"

The magician wasn't complaining but was surprised by the fact that he spent that much.

"I stop wondering about a lot of things when it comes to Alfred. I think saving his family is another of his super powers"

"So, are you ready for our date?"

The magician snakes her arms around his neck and he grabs her waist.

"With you? Always. And I can't wait for the dessert…you must know that after seeing you doing that fashion show, I just got this killer appetite. I'm starving and frankly, I don't know if I'm going to be able to hold myself that much longer"
