What kind of fun are we talking?

Anything! I'm just really bored when I'm not on tour or duty.

Understandably. Any ideas?

Coffee, dinner, dancing? I don't know. I'd do anything to get out of my apartment and not be alone ~~for once~~.

Well, you are, of course, always welcome to come patrolling with me, or just hang out.

You know who always forbade me from joining him on patrol... I think I'll have to take you up on that offer.

I should warn you, Robin is not always easy to put up with.

So I've heard. I've also heard something about him having a crush on Katana? Pretty amusing stuff right there.

Yeah, I'm trying not to tease him for it too much. (But it is pretty funny.)

Oh, I bet it's hard not to say something. She's a bit of a firecracker though. Robin best hope she doesn't find out.

I'm pretty sure he's not that brave. Then again, knowing him...

*Appears in normal clothes in Zee's house*

I thought I'd come and see those photos.

Why am I not surprised that you didn't call first?

*She's grinning despite herself, and ushers him into her very homey living room.*

Because you know me?

*goes in and sits down at her gesture*

Of course. I wouldn't have expected you to announce yourself - but you'll have to excuse not only my mess, but my appearance.

*she's definitely wearing short-shorts and a tank top because hey, she lives alone and that's all right. when he sits, she leans against the side of the couch for a moment.*

Do you really want to see those pictures?

No problem. Everyone tidies up for Bruce Wayne. And no one wants Batman to see anything. *smiles very very faintly* I showed you mine.

Well, even if I knew you were coming I had no place to put the random books... *Even though she could have easily summoned them to her, she left him in the living room to go fetch the pictures in her bed room. She comes back out after a few minutes holding a small, locked wooden box in one hand, and the key in the other.*

You're most likely the only other person who's going to be privileged enough to see these, I hope you know that Bruce. *Zee just takes a seat next to Bruce on the couch and unlocks the box, setting aside the key. It takes her a moment to rifle through the pictures inside - ones of her and Bruce as children somewhere in there with pictures of her father and different versions of the JLA. At the bottom, though, are three pictures of her and Diana completely covered in blue gelatin. Diana's facial expression ranges from shock to disapproval, and all three of the pictures have Zatanna laughing or grinning despite her white shirt becoming rather revealing and pasted across her chest.*

*Mirroring her earlier gesture, Bruce traced the line of her chest with one fingernail.* Diana didn't see the joke? Pity. Although the photos wouldn't be as funny. *By most people's standards there was barely a twitch to the corner of Bruce's mouth. Also his eyes kept returning to the same one of her photos.*

Thank you for showing me those. How did you get the pictures?

*A smile came easily to her lips as she glanced from his face to his hand on the picture.* I'm not sure she understood what actually happened until after we got cleaned up. *Seeing Bruce smile only made Zatanna grin.*

A deal is a deal, Bruce. And that's for me to know and you to never find out.
