It's Golden Week, and so this one wanted to celebrate!

This is how you do it, right? A week where we all become solid gold? Right?

“And now, for my next trick-”

There was never a day when Zatanna wouldn’t occasionally perform magic out in the park. Somehow, it became a habit but if it meant more attendance at the shows, she didn’t seem to mind. Witnessing the delight and astonishment on other people’s faces were something she cherished. Her father had a similar effect and in some ways, it made her feel closer to him. 

A quick shuffle of her deck followed as she explained to the forming crowd that she was looking for a volunteer. That’s when her eyes caught sight of a young girl. The crowd begin shushing each other as Zatanna made her way over to the girl, presenting her deck with a softened grin.

“Hi there, sweetie. Would you mind helping me out by picking a card?”

The thought of not telling Booster he could live with him didn’t even cross his mind. Booster was his best friend since they’d both been younger, dumber and far too reckless. They’d been through way to much to not have each other’s backs when they needed them. And Booster turning up with a teenaged daughter in tow (still... what the hell was with that!?) and his time tech out of whack was enough to have him stepping in to help. “Course I wouldn’t mind. I know it’s been a while but Kord Industries is doing pretty well for once.” he laughed slightly, “So I can afford to put you both up with me. My apartment’s got enough spare rooms for the both of you. But uhh, you may have to put up with a puppy, I was given him as a gift and well, I can’t turn the little guy out now.” he shrugged. “Wait, lead can hurt her like the green stuff does Sups?” he asked, gaze flicking over to Rani, “Well, I’m no biologist but It’s something to get started with huh?” He wasn’t gonna let the kid wonder around when there was a chance she could get that sick. Not if she was that important to Booster. He’d see what he could do. Teddy laughed his usual guffaw, “Yea, butterfingers. Don’t worry, I’ll fix it up.”

He looked back over to Rani when the young girl joined them again and chuckled, “Sure kiddo. You and your... Booster.” ‘Father’ still sounded damn odd, “Can have some and I’ll be sticking to a healthier option.” he tapped his chest lightly, “The old ticker’s not too great so I have to watch what I eat.” he explained, not bothering to tell her how stringent he was with his need to be healthy these days.

He gave Skeets a thumbs up, “Bet she’s missed you ya old charmer. You were the whirlwind romance of the robotic community.” He really wished he knew what they talked about though.  

It was only after he’d finished chatting with the other pair he caught sight of Booster wiping his eyes, “Hey, you okay?” he asked, stepping in front of him and stretching up on his toes to get a better look at his eyes. Time travel could do weird things to the body and he always worried a little that Booster could hurt himself if something went wrong. Still, he looked alright though, his eyes were a little red, but they were still nice eyes. He’d always noticed Booster’s eyes, they stood out when he took his visor off.
