He knew that he was in trouble the moment he saw her set foot on the Cave. Robin, The Boy Wonder, Batman's protégée, was having a severe problem, a problem that not Batman or Bruce prepared him for. Yeah, he has hd crushes here and there, Canary was definitely on the top of that list, Catwoman and Poison Ivy weren't bad to look at…and while he wasn't at the same as Wally, he could appreciate the opposite sex in a way more respectful way and without losing his neurons or so he thought…
Zatanna Zatara was backwards mischievous funny beautiful sophisticated gorgeous brave smart intelligent, and every compliment he could think of in every language he knew, speaking magician. The way she walked, her voice, her eyes, her smile, how she would scheme with him and butchered (improved) the English language with him. The girl was definitely the girl of his dreams and she surely teach him how to be in love and how to fight for that love.
"Don't be such a wuss Dick" The 16 year old couple, was walking around the Batcave. At Z's 15 birthday, after 6 months of dating, Dick gifted her his secret identity, along Batman's, something that Bruce wasn't totally on board. And since then, their relationship has been way better. They didn't need to hide to the public eye, they could go as many dates as they wanted, no more Z and Robin, there was now Z and Dick.
"I'm not a wuss Z. If Batman knows that we came to the Manor ALONE while he and Alfred were gone…they are having my head"
"Don't worry. I'll protect you" A peck on his cheek didn't do much to calm his nerves.
"We are not doing nothing wrong besides…you have stayed in my room at the Cave a couple of times…we can do the same here and in my room" She giggles seeing Dick's blush. "You are too easy some times Boy Wonder" They keep walking aimlessly through the Manor until the magician came up with an idea. "I know. Let's go to the Cave. I want to see the Dinosaur and the big Penny"
"You have seen those already"
"Yeah but it's always in a rush or when we are getting scolded. C'mon!" Zee pulled Robin by the hand to the entrance to the Batcave. After learning his secret identity, Zee would use any excuse to come to the Manor and have some time alone with her boyfriend. She loved the team but Megan loved the gossip too much and when she needed space and time to break down without them knowing, there was no place like the Manor. Besides, Dick was the only one allowed to see her break and was the only one able to comfort her.
"Alright. But let's not touch anything"
*You're the devil in disguise*
"Where's the fearless boy that I fell in love with?" She teases him.
"He's right here and that's the reason we shouldn't be here. The last time that we were grounded…we spent a week away from the other, no phone, no visits, no nothing and I don't think I can do that again" Zee stopped in her tracks and cupped his face.
"Hey! I love you and nothing can do us apart" The magician blushed hard when she realized how her words sounded.
"Woow. I mean..I always imagine this moment with you in one knee but-Awww" The magician playfully smacks him.
"Oh. The Batmobile, let's get in. I hate that always have to go in the back" Without much effort, Zee jumped from the cave's second level to the Batmobile.
"Wait! Zee" Dick had no other choice but to follow her.
"Woow. It is way comfier in the front"
"Let's just not touch anything. What about we go back to my room and watch some movies and cuddle"
"Alright. I have my fun, let's go but I pick th-"
"Attention to all the units. We have an emergency. Metropolis is under attack and there's no sights of Superman. We need back up!" Zee and Dick looked at each other.
"We better go and help them" Zatanna nods before changing their clothes to their uniforms. Robin was about to get off the Batmobile but his girlfriend stopped him
"What is it Zee? There's no time"
"I know. That's why we should go in this"
"Are you kidding me? Batman would kill us! Besides, you don't know how to drive it"
"But you do" Dick learned something very clearly in his short life and the two years of relationship with Zatanna. He was incapable of saying no to those big blue eyes with those quivering lips.
"Fine but you better bring flowers to my grave"
"Every Sunday, baby"

But I got wise…*
The Mistress of Magic, Zatanna Zatara, was in her dressing room, checking every detail of her magician outfit, she was perfectionist, she wanted and needed to look flawless, something that she was able to pull with no effort at all. Her mind was spinning, she just finished another amazing show and have a small break before the next one but her mind was rather occupied in one man in the public. Her boyfriend, Dick Grayson. There he was in the front lines, smiling like a kid, dazzled with her every move, she would trick to sneak a glance and a wink here and there that only make him blush.
Dick Grayson, Zatanna's boyfriend of so many years, if she thinks about it, he was the whole package. Funny, smart, caring, loving, strong and hot. The boy that she once knew was long gone and was replaced by a man. His jawline got sharper, his shoulders broader, his muscles bigger, a million dollar smile and those blue eyes that killed her every time.
Knock* Knock* Zatanna's break was interrupted by a knock on the door of her dressing room.
"Hmm? Who is it?" She keeps fixing her hair as she stands up from her chair.
"Your number one fan" The magician couldn't hold back her smile, she recognized her favorite voice right away.
"Zee!" As soon as she opened the door, she was meet by a couple of strong arms that hug her tight and lift her as they embrace in a kiss. "You were amazing. You looked incredible, you have me at the edge of my seat and I-I-I…" Zee cupped her man's face.
"Breath Dick. I know that I take your breath away but relax" Finally, the man put her down back to her feet.
"Right. I got this for you" Dick handed her the bouquet of aster he got for her.
"Thanks, they are beautiful"
"Just like you"
"And aren't you bored of seeing my shows? You have seen like hundreds of them an-"
"You kiddin?! I will never get boring of them, or you. Besides, isn't like I know how you do…most of the stuff"
"Hey! A magician never reveals her secrets, no matter how much someone tries to spoil me or coerced me with sex to get some behind of curtains secrets" She mischievously smile at him. "Wait! How did you get here? Didn't Mikey see you?"
"C'mon, Zee. I'm a ninja, a very charming ninja for that matter" She rolled her eyes. "And if I'm not mistaken…we have plenty of time before your next show" Dick took the bouquet of flowers from her hands and placed on a nearby table before engaging her in a lustful kiss.
"Wait…stud boy. I-We can't do this again…we got in so much trouble the last 16 times. At this pace my image will be ruined" Zatanna invoked all her strength to break the kiss and push him. She walk over to her vanity mirror and starting applying lipstick.
"It wasn't that bad…" Dick placed himself behind the magician. Their eyes were meeting through the mirror.
"I got sued! If it weren't for Bruce…or that other time that Artemis have to pull the emergency lever or when static blow up a couple of bulbs or Trace using her magic…do I need to keep with more examples" Even if her words were saying one thing, her body was acting accordingly as she sticks her ass more towards him.
"But we have fun, didn't we? And if I remember correctly…you enjoyed it, a lot…all those times and so many more" Grayson pressed his crotch against her butt as he hugs her waist and gets a sniff of her perfume.
"Y-y-you know that I did. I always do…" Zee starts losing her train of thought as Dick starts playing with her earlobe with his mouth.
"C'mon gorgeous. You know that you perform better when you are stress free and if I remember correctly, that's the boyfriend's job…to help his woman" He moved from her earlobe to her neck, switching between licks, kisses and soft bites.
"That feels so nice…"
"Let me help you. It's just a quickie" Dick's left hand started to move slowly form her waist towards her breast.
Giggles* "Yeah, right. You don't have any idea what a quickie is" Giggles*
"Maybe I don't but neither do you" Zee left another moan escape as he squeezes her breasts tightly. "Besides, tons of girls would like to be in your place" His right hands starts making its ways towards her center.
Moan* "Under your embrace?" Moan*
"Some…maybe…but I was taking about having a man that care for them—" He starts sneaking his hand under her shorts. "And take his time to stimulate every nerve…make her shiver" Zatanna was melting with his touch and his hushed tone. And finally, Dick reaches her center.
"Ahhh! That feels so good but-"
"But what? You are trying to say no but your body wants it" Dick starts playing with his fingers.
"W-w-we c-can't-" Abruptly, Dick stops and takes a step back.
"Nah. I guess that maybe you are right" Zatanna was left stunned for a moment before turning around and meet that stupid smirk of his. She wanted to smack that smile out of him but before she could think her next move, Dick licked his fingers. "Mmm…tasty"
*You're the devil in disguise*
KNOCK* KNOCK* "ZATANNA! ZATANNA! WE ARE SUPER LATE!" KNOCK* KNOCK* Mikey, Zatanna's assistant and right hand, was furiously knocking at the magician's dressing room.
"AHHH!" For the first time in like half an hour, Mikey, hear something coming from Z's room.
"ZATANNA?!" Knowing Zatanna, she could be screaming for help or because she was fighting someone or kicking someone's ass but Mikey wasn't so lucky, she knew that scream of her and wasn't one precisely from distress.
Grunt* "She'll be there in 5 minutes" Grunt* Mikey knew that voice too damned well and his scream only confirmed her suspicions.
"10! OH MY GOD DICK!—" The sounds from the room went silence again. One of Z's magic tricks. The only thing the blonde could do was to curse under her breath.
"Alright folks. We got code blue. The bird got into the nest…" Multiple voices from Z's crew were responding from the radio. "Alright. Who was the one that allowed Dick Grayson backstage?! You guys know that he cannot be left alone with the boss when there's another show for the night" The radio went silence.
"But they are in love and he brought her flowers!" Mikey took deep breath before answering the source of her current problem.
"AND?! You know that this happens every time!—I don't care how charming he is!—Of course I know that! You better be careful how you talk about the Boss' boyfriend. You know she's territorial over him"
"You are killing me Zatanna!" Finally, the magician and the acrobat were out of the room and by no one's surprise, Z was ready to go in her outfit and the couple was wearing a giant smile.
"C'mon. You gotta let the public hanging!"
"But not for ONE HOUR! They are suing us…again" Zatanna and Dick shrugged.
"You got this Z. Show them why you are the best in the business" Zatanna throw a confident smile at Dick.
"Boss. You better clean those hickeys and bite marks of your neck…since y'know…you are a PUBLIC figure" Blushing, with a quick spell, Z vanished Dick's work.
"Aww men. There goes my master piece" Zatanna didn't bother in cleaning the lipstick and bite marks off Dick's face and neck.
"Don't worry baby. We got plenty of time after the show. Dinner's on me!" They share a quick peck in the lips for good luck before Z disappeared in a puff of smoke and reappeared in front of her public that received her with applauses.
"I hate you. You do my work a lot harder"
"You don't hate me. You love me. C'mon, Mikey. Relax, the public always love her" Mikey crossed her arms at Dick's comment.
"You are still alive because you make her happy"
"That's my mission…" Seeing that the blonde was still tense Dick decided to do something about it. "What about if I get you a box of your favorite chocolates and wine?" Dick smiled when he saw Mikey arching an eyebrow.
"Any wine?"
"You name it and it's yours" Mikey smiled, she was picking one of those fancy wines that Dick and Zee once served at one of those fancy Wayne parties.
"You have a deal but Dick…two things"
"Yeah?"
"You are still banned from backstage and I'm getting better security…"
"And the second?"
"You better put a ring on her ASAP"
*You look like an Angel

But I got wise…
You're a devil in disguise*
"Mary! Please, stop using the chandelier like a trapeze! You are going to hurt yourself!" Zatanna was beyond worried watching her daughter, Mary (Zatara) Grayson of 9 years, swinging on the chandelier of her home. Zatanna was on the railing of the second floor trying to stop her daughter before she could hurt herself.
"But moooooom, I'm a Grayson! That's what we do" The young girl keep laughing and enjoying the small breeze.
"But sweetheart, it's not safe…Dick! Help me! I told you that the chandelier wasn't a good idea" Zatanna calls for her husband.
"I know. I know. But you love how it looks on Christmas and other parties"
"Not so the point. Help me" The couple were screaming at each other from different corners of their home.
"One momen- Auch! Johnny! C'mon pal! Stop giving life to your toys an- Auch! Make them stop attacking me!" While the magician was dealing with their daughter; Dick was dealing with Mary's twin brother, Johnny, a magician like his mother and grandfather. Currently, the boy was using her powers recklessly to momentarily giving his toys life, before Johnny himself, wear himself out from using that much magic.
"But dad! How else am I suppose to win the war?!"
"War? What war…oh no!" Dick realized that the toys that were attacking him have a blue sticker and turn around to see another mini army of toys with red stickers coming at him.
"Baby! Let's switch!" Dick nodded at Zee's idea before changing places.
"Mary, monkey. C'mon. Get down here. You know that it isn't safe and mommy and I get really worry about you. We can do this in a proper place with safety net or the garden with cushions"
"But daaaaaaddd"
"Mary…" The change of tone of her dad made Mary understand that he was serious.
"Aight. Catch me dad!" Mary swings herself a couple of times before jumping at her dad's arms.
"Always, baby. I will always catch you" Dick kissed her forehead.
"But I'm not a monkey. I'm a Grayson and we Graysons fly…making us a bird…making me a Robin" Mary smiled from ear to ear, showing to her dad her missing teeth.
"Alright. I just need you to be more careful, okay?"
"Okay, daddy"
"That's my girl" In the other side of the house, Zatanna, was dealing with the living toys.
"Pots! John (Zatara) Grayson! What do you think you are doing?" With a simple spell, Zee stops her son's toy war.
"Winning a war?"
"We should be ready already. We have a reservation to eat with Granpa Alfred, my dad, Grandpa Bruce and auntie Artemis"
"But moooom…I was about to unleash the beast" Zatanna blinked for a couple of times before realizing that they were one kid short.
"Wait! Where's your sister?"
"With dad" Zatanna put her hands on her waist and glared at her son.
"Ohhhh. You mean Ella…he-he-he" Johnny scratches the back of his head.
"I'm waiting mister. Where's your sister?"
Splat* Crash* Smash* Dick, Zatanna, Mary and John turned around to see the source of the noise and the adults were left speechless as they spot Lena, the tiger, coming from another room, running away from something, another was that Lena had some pink, blue and purple paint in her fur.
Cackle* The next thing the family saw, was Ella of 7 years old, cackling, like her dad used to, chasing Lena with her hands covered in paint and with a bow tie in her hand.
Cackle* "Mrs. Lena! Wait! I'm almost done. You are going to look as beautiful as Mrs. Pocus" Behind Ella, Pocus emerged from the same room, covered in pink paint and with way too many bow ties.
"Shouldn't we help them?" A far from the action, there was Bruce, Artemis, Alfred and Zatara watching the scene unfold.
"No need to worry, Miss Artemis. I'm sure that the young master have this covered" The four keep drinking the tea and enjoying the show.
"Ella, wait!" With one hand, Dick was still holding and managed to caught his other daughter with the other hand.
"But daddy. I'm almost done"
"Yeah but you are scaring Lena"
"But we are besties…" Ella opened her bid beady blue eyes with tear threatening to flow.
"You are but you need to be more careful with her. It's like when I brush your hair and there are tie nods. They hurt, don't they?" Ella nods her head.
"It's the same. I don't do that to hurt you or because I don't love you. Those are things that happen and you likely hurt her by mistake. Do you understand?"
"Yes, daddy. I'm sorry"
"You don't need to apologize to me…" Dick glanced over Lena who was hiding behind Z.
"I'm sorry, Lena" Slowly, the tiger got closer to Ella and let the young Grayson pet her.
"That's more like it" Zee and Johny come closer to Dick, Ella and Mary. The magician planted her lips on her daughters heads.
"I'll have to shower you again, baby girl" Ella smiled to her mom.
"C'mon squad. We have people waiting for us"
"Dad?" Dick look down to see the youngest Grayson, Thomas, a four year old boy playing with a purple ball.
"What is little bud?" Dick wasn't sure but there was something off with Tom's toy.
"Mmm…Dick?"
"What is it, Zee?"
"I don't remember buying a purple ball for him…"
"Neither do I…and doesn't look a little bit-"
"Off?" There was no time for reaction, the last thing the family saw before Tommy pulled the safety clip from 'the ball' was Steph's Spoilers' insignia.
Boom!* The ball in reality was Steph's purple glitter bomb. The bomb covered the family in glitter.
"I guess that we are not making in time for the reservation…" Zatara commented with a smile.
"Should we call to cancel?"
"No need Master Bruce. I never did it on the first place"
