After Work Martini
John Constantine stops at the corner store near the motel he's staying in and picks up some beer and tea, just in case he has company this evening. He left Zatanna a message, inviting her to his temporary home in Coast City, even offering to buy her some of the best take-out she's ever had.

He gets home, takes over his trenchcoat, then locks the door and waits to see if she'll show. In the meantime, he goes over his wall of pictures and information, looking at photos of Ferris, Jordan and Bruce Wayne as he tries to see how it all fits together.

Zatana stepped in the circle, squeezing in very close to John.

"I'll just follow your lead here," she said with a grin.

"Good to know. Now, do me a favor. Close your eyes and focus on those clouds out there. Paint them in your minds' eye and imagine them as cups running over, filled to the brim and needing to spill in order to move on." John says, his voice starting out normal, then lowering to a whisper.

He winds an arm around her waist.

"Now, I worked on learning this incantation backwards just for you, so I hope you like it. Repeat after me." John says.

John begins the backwards incantation beseeching the clouds to break and empty themselves.

Zatanna nodded, closing her eyes and following his instructions, picturing the clouds. She repeated the incantation, confidently and full of force.

John does the same and allows his energy to complement that of the Mistress of Magic, twining together to draw the heavy clouds closer and closer to Coast City. They could have been at it for only minutes or for several hours the way time seems to bend and flow around them.

Soon enough, however...

BOOM!

The clap of thunder rattles the windows and is followed by the rapid patter rain against those same windows as well as the roof.

John's eyes open first and he breaks the circle releasing the power held between them.

"Oh, well isn't that bloody fabulous? It seems that it's so rainy that you can't leave the room, Miss Zatarra." John says slyly.

Zatanna smirked. "Technically, I can still leave. Teleportation spells and all.

But don't worry, I'm not going anywhere."

"So." John says, walking back over to her.

"How long do you plan on staying in my company? Might not be safe and you good girls like safe, last I heard." he says.

"I do walk on the wild side sometimes, you know, Mr. Constantine," Zatanna said, grinning at him. "You haven't scared me away yet."

"Last chance to run, Fishnets. Otherwise, the gloves come off." John says.

"I warned you." he says.

Then he wraps an arm around her waist and draws her into a kiss.

Zatanna returned the kiss fully, slipping her arms around his neck.

John enjoys the kiss as a flash of lightning strikes outside.

Breaking the kiss, he looks at Zee.

"Care to demonstrate some of that backwards-speak we talked about?" he asks quietly.

She grinned. "It would be my pleasure."

"Excellent." John says.

And he will give her several reasons to do so.
