"C'mon, Tanna. It was fun!" Zatanna and Cecily were chatting on Chalant's apartment after coming back from dinner. Each one was resting on a couch with a glass of wine and snacks on the table.

"Yeah. It was but they almost expelled us. My dad grounded me for life!"

"Girl, your dad grounded you for life everyday…"

Yawn*

"Yeah, he did"

"Why don't you rest and we pick up this next morning?" Cecily was worried for her friend. They have been going out at night after her shows for almost a week.

"No. Yawn* I'm fine" Zatanna told her friend but in reality she was exhausted; the magic shows, the late nights…thankfully she didn't have to go on Team missions this week due to Cecily visiting her.

"If you say so…" CC was used to the magician's stubbornness and that there was not force on this planet to make her budge. She looks at her cellphone to see the hour and gets surprised by the time.

"Say…when it's Dick supposed to get home? Isn't a little to late for him to be out working? I thought he was doing desk work…" Cecily thought that I was odd for him to arrive this late all the week she has been there with them.

"Huh? Oh…he-he is training. He doesn't have much time in the morning since he goes to work early and since he does extra hours as well…this is the only time he has to do his acrobatic exercises" Zatanna had to come with an excuse for her husband's Nightwing activities.

"Girl, I don't have any idea where you get that man from! I mean he works a lot, trains a lot more, it's hot as hell and adores you"

"Yawn* He's really special"

"Plus where does he get all that energy to have sex with you?! I mean do you two even sleep?!"

"Cecily!" A flustered magician reacts to her friend's comment as of cue, Grayson enters his home where he's greeted by the girls.

"Hello, ladies. I thought you'd be asleep already" Grayson hugs Cecily and the goes to Zatanna to kiss her.

"How was your workout Dick?"

"It was amazing, thanks for asking. The downside of training at this time is that I get extra peckish for action" Cecily just smirks at her friend but before the sorceress could answer, her boyfriend cupped her face.

"You need to rest Zee. You had a very eventful week between your shows and your girls' night out. I don't want you to get sick" Cecily was ready to heard her friend arguing and taking that comment as a challenge to stay up for more time.

"Carry me to bed" Zatanna opens her arms and Dick picks her up.

"I'll be back in a second with you, CC. I'm just going to tug her in bed" Cecily was out for words. She knew the couple for quite a while and saw how clingy and corny they could be but she wasn't expecting this. Zatanna has never been the type of girl that lets a guy treat her like a princess, her overprotective dad was already to much for her. Every time that a guy tried to impress her with a gentleman act or playing hero, she would sass their ass into the next millennia and show them that she needed nobody and she could do everything by herself. If Cecily had to describe Zatanna, the words independent, strong and bad bitch are on the top of the list.

"Cecily? Cecily? Are you alright?" Zatanna's friend was so deep in thought that didn't realize that the man came back.

"Yeah. Sorry, I was just thinking" The two friends stayed a little longer talking about everything. Cecily told Dick about Tommy and school while the acrobat told her about his time in the circus.

"Dick! Come to bed. You know that I need my pillow to sleep properly…" Dick gets up and stretches himself.

"Duty calls. See you tomorrow or in a few hours…huh?" Grayson was confused by the way the woman was looking at him. Zatanna's call for her boyfriend only brought one question to the woman's mind.

"Who are you?"

"Shhhhh. Don't cry Mary. Daddy is here. Don't need to cry…Tommy is a friend" Grayson starts calming her daughter down after she started screaming and whaling.

"I'm so sorry" The professional football player felt bad for making the girl cry.

"It's not your fault. Mary is just such a daddy's girl…she just let me hold her when she eats and after that she just want to be on her father's arms" It didn't take long for Dick to put her baby to sleep.

"It seems that she's as spoiled by Dick as her mother" CC tease her friend.

"I don't know what are you talking about…"

"C'mon, Tanna. Just look at them…" CC makes a movement with her head, since she was holding John, to make the magician look at her husband and daughter.

"Yeah. I love them so much"

"The thing is that the way Dick is holding her…isn't very different at the way he holds you. I don't know how a guy can show so much love and protection by just carrying someone"

"For real. If I didn't know Dick I would feel so treated by his presence right now…I still feel a little nervous" Without the crying, Dick manages to heard the convo.

"I'm sorry, Tom. I know that you are not dangerous or anything but-"

"He has been on edge since the kids arrived. I swear that he hears a leaf falling from a tree and gets on fighting stance" Dick laughs nervously at his wife's comment.

"I'm just being cautions…that's all"

"Meanwhile…look how calm John is" Cecily happily carries the youngest Grayson.

"He's a heavy sleeper like her mom. He doesn't wake up even if Mary is crying"

"He only cries if we are not together. If Mary, Dick or I goes away, he starts crying. It's as if he has a sensor on us or something" CC returns the baby to his mom.

"Does he have any powers? Any of them?" Tom asked nervously. He didn't want to get attacked by any of those babies.

"We don't know" Zatanna answers as she puts John back on his crib.

"They didn't have the equipment at Blüdhaven's hospital to see if they had the metagene and we didn't feel like to test them…"

"And my dad told me that I show case my powers a lot older but he could sense my magic" Dick puts back Mary on her crib and the couple sits on their bed while CC and Tom sits on the couch that the couple places for visits to the twins.

"And don't you sense the magic on your babies?"

"The thing is that Zatanna is a mutant to put it in a way. She's practically a being made of pure and sheer magic…"

"And magic always leaves a mark. For example, Dick and I have spend so much time together that it's like he has a magic aura"

"You have powers too? That'd explain all your crazy acrobatics. You can teach me a trick or two for football"

"No, that's natural and effort. How do I put it…" The magician tries to think in a way to put it.

"You remember Alucard?"

"The half human, half vampire that is son of Dracula and we meet at your wedding? No, it doesn't ring any bells" CC smirks at her friend and Zatanna just rolls her eyes.

"What about him?"

"When I first encounter him, he detected Zatanna's magic on me but he knew that I wasn't a magic user. But any other inexperienced person might confused me as an user with all the magic residue on me…"

"So you don't know if they had powers or just your essence?"

"But aren't you an expert on that?"

"That's where Zatanna's special nature comes in…they had more magic on them that I have but we cannot be sure if they have powers or just Zee's magic signature"

"It's sounds weird and hard to understand but I guess it makes sense…for your superhero standards at least" Tommy's head starts to hurt with the explanation but he was happy to see that the family was healthy as ever.

"Also…I've been meaning to ask…where's Damian? He's always by your side and was half expecting him to threaten us in our way in" Suddenly, Tommy and CC were holding a cup of tea. But since they knew Alfred was there, they just rolled with it.

"He has been acting weird since the twins arrived. I-We haven't get the chance to talk to him about it"

"Yeah but we were thinking to talk to him later on the week. We are just still getting used to the twins schedule"

"Sorry for the interruption but Master Dick, Miss Zatanna. I'd like to inform you that Miss Dinah, Miss Raquel and Master Kaldur are here and dinner is almost ready"

"Thanks Alfred" The British leaves the room.

"Then we better leave. We don't want to overcrowd this place…as big as it is"

"You don't have to go" CC hugs Z.

"Don't worry. I promised that we are coming again"

"Fine but you better come more often…I don't want to drag both of you here"

"Don't worry. I want to keep seeing this cuties…they are so adorable"

"Yeah. Congratulations to both of you"

"Thanks, Tommy. Maybe you guys are next…?" Dick and Zatanna laughs at the couple's reaction.

"We will see…and Zatanna"

"Yeah?"

"You are hot mama, girl"
