It was a Wednesday night, the lights of the metropolis theater were shining with great intensity making the place look completely amazing, inside the theater may not be as big as many others that exist around the world, but there to admit that the theater was the ideal size for many people to attend. On the stage you could see a man of adult age approximately between 30 or 38 years old, he was wearing a professional magician's suit and next to him was Zatana dressed as an assistant, I must admit that I blushed when I saw her with that suit since it made Zatana looked very cute.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you do not know how grateful I and my beautiful assistant are to be here on this majestic night, but it pains me to tell you that our performance has come to an end." Zatana's father would say, getting people including me to let out a sigh of defeat, the show had lasted an hour and a half, I think it was more than obvious that Zatana and his father were tired and without ideas for a new trick, without mention that it was getting late.

"But before we go, I'm going to make my beautiful assistant disappear as the last trick of the night." Zatana's father would say, getting everyone to applaud. I saw how a small closet had magically appeared in which Zatana would enter while her father would proceed to close the cabinet while making it start to float in the air, we all saw this with shock while Zatana's father took out his magic wand and began to recite some words.

"Spirits from beyond, obey my order and make this girl disappear." the man would say as he used her wand to then make the box where Zatana was start to rotate before stopping and when she opened her door she was no longer there.

When we saw that we couldn't help but stand up and clap wildly for how great the show was, what I never realized was that behind the scenes Zatana had appeared thanks to a portal that she had used so that no one would see her, she changed her expression of happiness to one of sadness to see that her father again kept the credit, she knew clearly that her father did not do this to hurt her after all he always loved Zatana with his heart since for Zatana's father, she was the most important thing in his life. She with a sigh she went to her personal dressing room to remove her costume and makeup.


"Zatana that was amazing, I had never had such a good time in my life. I already want to know when they will do another magic show." I said with a huge smile as I sat on the couch that Zatana had in her room.

The reason why I am in Zatana's room is simple, yesterday after school she had invited me to see a magic show that she was going to perform with her father in the city, having nothing to do I agreed to go besides that I wanted to know what magic shows were like in this world, because if Zatana had magical abilities I wanted to know how he would use it in a show and the truth is I am happy to have accepted to come to the show without a doubt it was the most incredible thing I saw in my life .

And for those who wonder about my training it is simple, Daiana had told me that she will not train as much or else my body would be very exhausted and sore for future workouts, she clearly knew that I wanted to become strong but she told me that also rest and Doing other things was good for the body so as not to demand it too much, I had to admit that Daiana was right and just in time since I had found myself doing push-ups with a refrigerator on my back.

"I'm so glad you liked Benja." Zatana would say while she was checking her makeup.

"It must be amazing to have a father who is well known all over the world." I said while looking at a painting of Zatana's father and her when she was a child.

"Maybe, but you know Benja. My father won't be the only one who's in on this magic thing." When he finished saying that, Zatana walked to her closet and in a flash of light he had her mage outfit.

"I too will be a magician just as well known as my dad." Zatana would say with a smile as she struck a pose.

"Really!?. That's amazing Zatana, I'm sure you'll be a great magician." I said with a huge smile as I moved my arms up and down comically like in an anime making Zatana giggle.

"Thanks Benja, but there is a detail that we are forgetting, and that is that every magician needs an assistant for every magic show in the future. And I was wondering, if you were willing to be my assistant." Zatana would say with a smile as she saw that he was looking at her with surprise.

"Me? But, are you sure about this Zatanna?" I said very surprised without being able to believe my magical friend's request.

"That's right Benja with your elemental powers we could perform incredible magic tricks, come on say yes please." Zatana would say waiting for my answer.

"Well Daiana told me I need one more hobby besides training, this could be fun so." I approached Zatana and with a smile I would say. "When I start?." I asked smiling.

"Come here at 10 so we can start rehearsing, and we can start. And don't worry about your suit I'll take care of that." Zatana would say happily as she hugged me, I had blushed a little at her sudden gesture but I couldn't deny that she had done it out of pure happiness and I could clearly understand what she was feeling so I reciprocated the gesture.

The night passed normally, while I was sleeping peacefully Zatana was thinking about the appropriate clothing for me tomorrow, every idea I had was discarded since none of them convinced her at all since none of them matched and it was due that she was focused on my elemental abilities to give the costume a unique touch.

The next morning, Zatana had managed to sleep after being busy for 3 hours in the suit but was proud of her work nonetheless. She was awakened when she felt a kiss on her forehead and when she opened her eyes she noticed to her father that she had entered the room with a tray with a special breakfast for her daughter that consisted of pancakes, a cup of tea and a couple of toasts.

"Good morning, my pretty little angel." Zatana's father would say with a smile, a gesture that his daughter returned with another smile.

"Good morning Dad." Zatana would say as she sat on the bed taking the tray that was in her father's hands.

"Zatana, I have some business to attend to outside the city, so I won't be in the city until morning, do you think you'll be fine alone?" the man would ask looking at his daughter, he clearly knew that Zatana could take care of herself because thanks to him, his daughter learned how to use her magic with wisdom and intelligence but without a doubt she did not like the idea of having to leave your daughter alone.

"Sure dad, don't worry. I have something to do too anyway." Zatana would say for sure, she knew very well that her father sometimes had to do things outside the city due to his work as a magician for which she understood very well.

"It's okay sweetheart, but I promise when I get back I'll make it up to you." the man would say as he kissed his daughter's forehead and then left the room, Zatana wasted no time and began to eat her breakfast, something told him that she would have an interesting day.

"Zatana!, your friend is at the entrance !." Zatana's father would say making his daughter almost choke on her tea when looking at herself in a mirror seeing that she was completely unpresentable which made her nervous, then she looked at her watch and melted herself for forgetting that she had told me she wanted Seeing me at his house at ten o'clock in the morning, he quickly got to his feet starting to get ready in the best possible way, while on the other hand I was talking with Zatana's father about yesterday's show and some things.

"So my daughter asked you to be her assistant, huh?" Zatana's father would ask curiously since he had told him about what Zatana and I would do today.

"Exactly, and I'm very excited to start, Zatana is a good person and being his assistant is a great thing, I really can't wait for us to have our first show." I said excited.

"Hehehe, sure you're Zatana's friend? Are you perhaps her boyfriend?" the man would ask with a touch of humor, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw that my face turned completely red upon hearing that while a line of smoke came out of my ears.

"S-sir, I'm Zatana's friend and we're just friends don't s-say that." I said stammering as more smoke came out of my ears, my imagination made me the worst joke since it had made me think of myself and Zatana on a date which made my nerves even worse to the point that my heart felt like it was going to go out from my chest.

"Hahaha, I was just kidding friend. Anyway I have to go, I hope we can talk soon." after saying that, Zatana's father was about to leave until he said. "Also, let me tell you that I can see that inside you you carry something very special that I thought I would never see again, I hope you can improve on that. And if you need help, do not hesitate to ask me." After those words, Zatana's father would leave me very surprised by what he said, but I also had to admit that he could know it since as he and I are magicians I think it would be easy to recognize the power of each other.

"I'm so sorry to keep you waiting Benja." I was taken out of my thoughts when I heard Zatana by my side, when I turned around I noticed that she was already dressed and groomed as always as she smiled at me.

"No problem Zatana, after all I just arrived so nothing happens." I said with a smile, she would return the gesture while she invited me to pass thus entering her house.

"Alright Benja, I have your clothes ready so let's get you dressed." Zatana would say as he took me to her room to put on the clothes I would wear.

My clothes consisted of a black trench coat that came down to my ankles, the sleeves of the trench coat had a white color at the end, I also wore a formal vest of the same color with a long-sleeved white shirt, I was wearing pants to dress in black with comfortable formal shoes, the highlight was a top hat on my head with a red ribbon tied around the hat giving a much more comfortable touch to the hat, also including comfortable white gloves as a last detail to the suit.

"Do you like Benja?" Zatana would ask smiling shyly.

"Love it!!." I said with a huge smile as he looked at me, without a doubt the suit was comfortable and spectacular.

"Glad to hear that, now let's get started with a few basic tricks." After saying that, Zatana would show me and at the same time teach me basic magic tricks, we technically spent 4 hours so that he can learn the tricks, to our great surprise it turns out that the elements helped a lot with the tricks.

"Very good zatana, you said that this was your letter, right?" she asked as she showed him the card, which was the 6 of hearts which was incorrect.

"No Benja, you are wrong." Zatana would say smiling since she knew what she was going to do.

"No problem actually, I want you to look closely at the letter." Zatana paid attention to then see how the letter began to burn thanks to the fire element, when the letter was covered by the fire he would blow with force to put out the fire showing another card that was the five of diamonds.

"Is this your letter, Zatana?" I said again showing the letter.

"That's right Benja, very good." the magician would say with a huge smile.

"Well, what other trick should I learn?" I said as I started to play with the cards before putting them back in their box and putting them on the table.

"Very good Benja, this is a trick I learned with my dad. Can you dance?" Zatana would ask with a smile as she played music, the music was very beautiful and at the same time relaxing as she approached me smiling.

"I don't know how to dance Zatana." I said something nervous, but I saw how she would hold my hand which made me blush.

"Take it easy Benja, just keep up. I'll help you." After saying that, Zatana and I would start dancing while the music accompanied the environment giving it a very nice touch. I slowly closed my eyes letting myself be carried away by the dance just like Zatana, without realizing my hair went from being white to green while a couple of flowers began to adorn my hair, slowly the room was covered with beautiful flowers that the ivy element had made grow, when the music stopped Zatana was the first to see everything we had done which left her very surprised.

"Benja, look at this." she would say as she looked at the flowers that adorned her room. When I opened my eyes that were now mint green instead of the usual magenta, when I saw the room I was very surprised since I never thought that this will happen.

"Zatana I'm sorry, I had no idea this would happen." I said completely embarrassed hoping my friend isn't mad at me.

"Benja, this is beautiful. I never thought your ivy element could do something like this." Zatana would say in wonder while I looked at her in surprise.

"Do you like this Zatana?" I asked very surprised, I did not expect this and I did not believe that my ivy element could do something like this.

"It's beautiful Benja, with what you did with your element surely a lot of people are going to love our dance." She would say with a huge smile, a gesture that I reciprocated with another smile.

"Thank you Zatana." I said Happy to know that my friend had liked the flowers that my ivy element made.

'I don't know why, but when I was dancing to this kind of music, I felt completely peaceful and at the same time I felt much more relaxed than usual, I could feel nature flowing through my whole body. How could I achieve this? ' I asked myself in my mind as I looked at my flowers in my hair, when I saw them in detail I realized that the flowers had come out of my hair as if they had been planted there.

"Zatana, do you know how this happened?" I asked curious since he wanted to know how he had achieved this.

"My father told me that magicians who used to control the ivy element when they listened to classical music or music to meditate, they could feel nature throughout their body as if they were in the middle of a forest, when that happens the ivy element begins to make its wearer enters a state of total meditation while around him the ivy element will do its best to create a space similar to a flower garden due to its nature connected with mother nature. " Zatana explained which I understood as it seemed to make a lot of sense to me.

"I see, that explains why I felt in complete harmony with nature." I said surprised, Zatana nodded saying that was correct.


We had spent a while practicing dancing to be able to feel more confident and relax, after having rehearsed enough we went for a walk to go to the pier, Zatana had told me that the pier would be the right place to start with our first show since we could find to many people to teach what we could do. Once we got to the pier, Zatana and I were ready in our costumes, ready for the show.

"Ready Benja ?." Zatana would ask while she was putting the finishing touches on herself and donning her magic hat.

"Always" I said while I was putting on my own hat.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls of all ages prepare to be amazed to see the magic, the mystery of the great and powerful Zatana!". I said with a huge smile as Zatana appeared in a cloud of pink smoke and then she appeared in a magical flash as she performed a pose. However, instead of hearing applause or people approaching, we noticed that no one turned to see us as if we were completely invisible to people.

"Didn't I say it right?" I said something nervous and embarrassed at the same time thinking I had made a mistake.

"No Benja, you said it very well. Loud and clear." Zatana would say making her sigh in relief, however we both noticed a huge group of people gathered around something or rather someone.

"What's going on?." I asked as Zatanna and I went to check on what was going on.

Upon arrival we found the unpleasant surprise that there was a boy performing "magic" tricks but both Zatanna and I clearly knew that he was doing false tricks, we noticed that all the cards were the same as the tattoo on his chest, a coin that in Instead of having the originate heads or tails, it was a two-sided coin. This undoubtedly upset Zatanna a lot, if there was one thing she hated in the world it was without a doubt those who call themselves "magicians" if they don't know anything about real magic, as she considered it a mockery for her and her father.

"What do you think you're doing?." Zatanna asked as he walked to where the phony magician was, seeing this I couldn't help but follow Zatanna to prevent him from killing the idiot.

"And what do you think girl? I'm doing magic." the subject would say while doing another trick, that without a doubt made my friend's blood boil, if there were no people I would surely turn this guy into a chicken.

"Yeah? For your information that's not magic, I'll teach you what real magic is!" Zatanna would say as she got in the center starting to perform magic tricks, while I looked at this with a smile believing that Zatanna would get people to look at her and clap, notice that in reality no one did anything.

"Faker!". a person from the group of people would say, that without a doubt left me very frozen as if the ice element had hit me suddenly, in that I see how Zatanna's eyes filled with tears as people kept calling him a phony. Before he could say anything, Zatanna had run off while he was crying. That was the last straw that broke the camel's back and made my eyes start to be covered in fire out of anger, she had tried hard to at least get people to see her and no doubt hearing this pissed me off.

"Hey, I don't know what the fuck you think you are, but the fake here is you!" I said looking at the phony magician with an angry look.

"Oh please little boy, what do you know about true magic?" the phony magician would say with superiority but I notice that he had taken the two-sided coin and the cards from him without his realizing it thanks to a vine that had come out from under my feet.

"A real wizard doesn't fool his audience with fake magic." I said as he showed the two-sided coin to the people who looked at this in surprise while the phony magician began to worry.

"So what?." would say the phony magician with confidence believing that nobody would believe me until I noticed the cards in my hands seeing how he performed tricks in a professional way before stopping and showing the cards to the audience who looked at this with complete surprise and shock to see that they were all identical to the tattoo on the subject's chest.

"Then it will not bother you if your audience notices an extra detail, and that is that the cards must be like any poker card, they must be varied and not just one among many copies of it and above all that they are equal to you. tattoo." I said while making the letters disappear with fire. Everyone looked at the supposed magician in annoyance while I adjusted my hat tightly and wiped an imaginary dust from my suit, after that I would take the things that Zatanna had left while giving the magician a smile while being surrounded by his audience who they demanded a refund for everything.


After that I had called Zatanna telling me that she was at home, when I got to her house I noticed that she was sitting on the balcony that was in her house while she stared at the city with a look that clearly said that she was not quite well.

"Hello Zatanna." I said as I sat next to my friend, who did not seem to be in the mood as before.

"Benja, can I ask you a question?" she would say without much emotion.

"Sure Zatanna, you can ask whatever you want." I said as I put a hand on her shoulder to show confidence, but without a doubt her question left me completely frozen.

"Will you always be in my father's shadows?" she asked without emotion.

"Why do you say that Zatanna?" I said very surprised by her question.

"You see Benja, when I was a child I always wanted to be a great magician like my dad. He is known all over the world for his abilities, while I on the other hand am known as my father's assistant, I tried again and again to make him People look at me like a magician but nobody looks at me, only the children think that I am a great magician, I can't complain I love that children think that I am a very good magician. But I don't want to always be under the shadows of my father without power. demonstrate what I can do, and asked me ... if someone really considered me as something more than a simple assistant ... but hearing what they said it is clear that I will never be a magician. " Zatanna would say shedding tears. Hearing that I couldn't help but hug my friend tightly, a gesture that she had reciprocated in the same way but with force.

"Zatanna, you must not believe what people tell you." I said as he stroked her back making her look at me while I was starting to wipe away her tears.

"Zatanna, you are a determined girl with a huge heart and great confidence, you are undoubtedly a person who does not give up on anything in the world we work hard on our rehearsal this morning to show what we can do and you have the necessary and more to be a great magician. I know that being under the shadows of your father is not good, but I know that people will recognize you as the great Zatanna, I think you are something more than a simple assistant. You are my friend and the next magician who will be known throughout the world with her great determination, confidence and her great magic ability, you should not listen to what people tell you and if someone believes that you will never achieve that goal shows that they are wrong, your You are the great and powerful Zatanna, and I will not stop believing in that. " I said with complete honesty as I took my hat and put it on Zatanna's head making the magician blush a little and at the same time look at me surprised.

Zatanna felt her heart tighten, she felt her cheeks get hotter than usual, the pain in her heart was not a painful sensation instead it was a warm and pleasant sensation.

"You're right Benja, I can't give up. I'll show that Zee Zatara will be the next magician the world will meet." Zatanna would say full of determination as she stood up just like me.

"You know Zatanna, while I was walking around here I heard that there children who are sad because their clown will not be able to go to their birthday party, what do you say if we are going to make them happy?" I said as I put her hat on, upon noticing this, Zatanna would put my hat on but lower it, covering my eyes making me giggle like she did while putting her hat on.

"And what are we waiting for, we have kids waiting for a show." Zatanna would say with determination, upon hearing that we both went to the park where the party was.


Indeed, when we arrived we saw that all the children were sad while the parents tried to make them feel better, so I approach one of the adults wearing my casual clothes.

"Excuse me, what is the problem?" I said looking at the children.

"The clown got sick and our children got sad as they were waiting for the clown, now the birthday party is ruined." the adult would say that he seemed to be the father of a birthday girl who was sobbing. I couldn't help feeling a pinch since I didn't like seeing a child cry.

"You know, I know someone who can give us magical help." I said with a smile as I got in front of all the children confusing the adults and drawing the children's attention.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages. Let me ask you something, do you want to see a little of this?" I said as I began to perform easy magic tricks calling the attention of the children, in that a magenta glow covers me showing my assistant costume making all the children and the birthday girl see this with surprise just like the adults.

"Prepare ladies and gentlemen to be amazed, prepare for the magic and mystery of the great and powerful Zee Zatara !!." I said while Zatanna appeared in the same way as on the pier on stage making all the children clap.

We had spent the whole afternoon performing magic tricks for the children and adults, tricks that left them very surprised, Zatanna and I were doing well and the truth was I was having a lot of fun seeing the smiles of the children when we saw how we performed the tricks.

"Kids, I really appreciate you being there for us as you are a great audience for us, but I'm afraid the show will have to end here." Zatanna would say making both children and adults hang their heads.

"However, let us end our show with a dance that I will do with my assistant here." Zatanna would say as I got closer, when the music started Zatanna and I began to dance while the sunset began to get between us giving a beautiful image to the dance, I began to close my eyes like Zatanna. The children and adults looked very surprised as my hair changed from white to green while a couple of flowers appeared in my hair while a pink glow from Zatanna covered us both, they all watched as roses began to appear throughout the park as well as beautiful plants of multiple colors such as magenta, blues and oranges. At the end of our dance the people in the park applauded loudly causing us to bow, at the end I came down with a crown made of roses and would give it to the birthday girl.

"Happy Birthday little girl." I said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you very much to you two saved my daughter's party, how can I pay you for such a show?" the girl's father would ask while he was about to give us money but Zatanna stopped him.

"My assistant told me that the children were sad, just seeing the children smile and seeing that they had a good time is enough for the two of us, right assistant?" Zatana would ask receiving a nod from me. "If you need a magician for your next party, don't hesitate to call us." Zatanna would say again as she handed the man a card where we were both with the number to call.

Zatanna and I had to stay a little longer as many children began to ask us for autographs and photographs, my friend and I could not refuse to accept the requests. Once we were done we would be walking the streets while we were yawning.

"God what a day. I'm so glad that today was such a fun and peaceful day." I said while stretching.

"Thank you Benja for supporting me today." Zatanna would say smiling.

"I am your assistant, remember? I must always help you at all times." I said smiling, suddenly I blushed too much when I felt a kiss on my cheek which left me somewhat stunned.

"There you have your reward for helping me." Zatanna would say smiling in a funny way when she saw my blush, but she suddenly blushed like me when she felt a kiss on her cheek also from me.

"You also deserve a reward for not giving up, I'm glad to know that we will continue to do magic shows. I can't wait for us to have our next magic show." I said with a huge smile.

After a small talk we had arrived at Zatanna's house, once we arrived we said goodbye since it was getting dark and her father would be arriving soon, also because Zatanna was tired and needed to rest. As I was leaving my face she turned completely red when remembering the kiss and what Zatanna's father had told me this morning, without realizing that Zatanna was looking at me from the entrance of her house with an amused smile.

"I'm so glad to know that you enjoy being my assistant, I'm going to have a lot of fun having you as my assistant too, Ben-ja-min~". her with a flirtatious tone as she laughed to herself before entering her house.
