Zatanna Zatara has posed:
Late afternoon in Gotham. With the smog and duskiness that fills the air, most would think that itâ??s nearing nightfall. But there was a little brightness in the park. A magic show, because.. what else? Bunnies were deployed on assault to cuddle the villainous children, paper flowers were produced from hats and big stuffed bears came to life. Came to life with the assist of Charles, a man who wore a stuffed bear suit. But lets digress!

Zatanna was worn out from entertaining small children, it was the smallest party sheâ??s ever done that she could remember, and it definitely took the sails out of her person. But.. balloons were all that were left. Scattered streamers and little toys from gift bags. Tables were slowly being put away, even her own stuff, which she brought in a box were carefully placed in order to provide the maximum fit.

Someone has been overdosing on Marie Kondoâ??s ways.

But it was a joyous time in Gotham, who in the world has ever thought that? It brought a smile to her face, as well as a little hum on her lips.

Quicksilver has posed:
aww, Zatanna did a party! Pietro always did like that little bit of joy-giving that Zatanna appeared to like to do. It was a huge charm point of hers! Though Pietro ran through the streets of gotham like a blue blur. Sorry Batman! Visitor in town!

Just before Pietro were to find Zatanna, he had roughed up three muggers in the span of three seconds who thought it would be funny to rough up an elderly lady just for her purse. Boy did they learn a lesson! Though Now Pietro spotted Zatanna during the cleanup for her show, and he waits in the doorway. "That was a nice show. Adorable really." says Pietro, sipping on a can of Sprite. "How is my favorite magic-lady today?" he lets that Romanian accent tint his words.

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
The final item was put away in a box; her magic wand sealed in a wooden case. She can't remember where she gotten it from, and she stared at it for a long time until the atmosphere around her had changed. It does that, when someone else happens quietly into the room. Hearing the accent, it actually surprised her that he would find her here! And at least it was a welcome surprise. He didn't know her well, nor she him.

"Pietro?" She asks, her smile brightening as she turns. And then.. suddenly.. and oddly embarrased. "You.. were here the whole time? I am so sorry.. I should have said hello!"

Quicksilver has posed:
Pietro smiles as he sees that brightened expression of Zatanna as she notices him. "It's okay, I am skilled in not really being noticed." he gives her a once-over. "You look beautiful today. New hair conditioner?" because it seems that every time Pietro sees Zatanna, her raven black hair always looks that much more luscious. HE NEEDS TO KNOW.

"But that was really nice of you to do something for the children. The kids are the future, and it's good to see those smiles on their faces." he approaches her, stopping just a foot or so away.

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
"Ah.. that's not true.." She states, protesting his own words about himself. And then compliments, one that makes her cheeks glow a bright red against her pale skin, her shoulders lifting and body turning sideways in a hint that plays coy. "I.. thank you. No, I just use an avocado mix.." It was all a bit too fast, his little step forward allows her to take a slight step back. "It's always good. I love doing shows for the kids. Give them something to hope for and talk about when they get home, you know?"

Quicksilver has posed:
"It's not? How so? It must be the white hair." Pietro runs a hand through his silver locks, before he notices her take a slight step back as he advanced, a curious look on his face. Her coy expression and her body language sending more mixed messages than Magneto on Christmas.

"I find myself agreeing with you. Anything for the children, right?" he smiles to Zatanna before he looks around. "It's a beautiful night. Maybe we could go for a walk? and Avacado Mix? well, it really makes your hair shine and look like the silk." flirty Pietro is flirty! But he seemed quite serious about going for a walk with her in the nearby park.

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
"Its not that your hair is bad or anything, it's actually quite lovely.." She mumbles. It wasn't a sad mumble, just unsure of what to say in the moment, filling the space of what would be dead air with sound.

But they were on the same page as kids, so that was great. And back to her hair, which she grips and pulls to get a good look. "It's really thick.." She says out of nowhere, offering him a grasp of her tresses. "Um.. Sure. Just let me take care of all of this stuff first. Okay?"

Quicksilver has posed:
Offered and accepted!

Pietro reaches out a bare hand to try and feel through the lock of hair that Zatanna had offered to him, and he smiles very gently to her. "It feels really soft..." though when she compliments his hair, he smiles to her. "Oh, thank you.." it's his turn to blush now! and she said yes to hanging out with him!

"like..really soft." paradise! "Of course. Do you need help putting stuff away?" he asks Zatanna calmly, looking her right in the eyes.

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
Once his fingers were close, she grasps his briefly to place the lock of hair in his hands, following the way his fingers move with her gaze as she gives a nod of her head. It's rare to be proud of her beauty regimine, so to show it off in this moment was a rare occurance. And he's blushing!

Zatanna gives a bit of space as she turns around to all of her things, her lips wrinkling and her head shaking with a wave of her hand. "Oh no. This stuff is just going emoh."

And with little flourish, everything vanishes!

"Alright, lets go!"

Quicksilver has posed:
His fingers grabbed by her and moved to her hair, Pietro seems to smile gently. Zatanna was absolutely stunning. though Pietro blushing was an equally rare occurance, he watches with wide eyes as everything just vanishes into thin-air!

Maaaaggggiiiicccc.

Pietro always had a strange distaste (usually) when it comes to magic. The unpredictability of it all (and the fact that it's often used against him) made it something to be wary of. But it was Zatanna, so everything is right with the world. When she claims to be ready to go, he offers the woman his hand and arm to walk beside her as they depart. "Then off we go!" Pietro was SOO tempted to pick her up and just run to the park, but he has a small feeling that she wouldn't quite like that.

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
Once everything was in it's right place.. (back at Shadowcrest, everything appears from the ceiling and falls into a big pile of mess), Zatanna looks pleased. Once his elbow is offered, she carefully hooks her arm within his and follows suit, nearly bopping as she walks. "It's actually quite nice seeing you this side of Gotham." She confesses, the slight chill in the air not bothering her, nor the smog. "I really don't think I can remember a time when someone actually came to see me for no reason at all."

Quicksilver has posed:
Happy to have Zatanna on his arm, Pietro looks around the dark city almost protectively of the lovely lady beside him. Gotham isn't exactly known for a quiet nightlife, after all. Though, Pietro looks her in the eyes as she makes her admission. "Well, it's really good seeing you at this time of day also." they were basically side to side.

"and..well, I felt like I had to, you know? I started to miss you." Pietro smiles to her. "and I never did give you the 12 dollars for knitting me a scarf." he remembered! and he winked.

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
It was of no consequence to her. Walking the streets of Gotham was like second nature. Each path that she took alone was one she did with a certain boldness and almost a dare. Maybe? It was home. She looks up towards him and smiles as he speaks, turning her gaze forward to watch their feet as they walk.

"You.. missed me?" She asks, not frightened but.. surprised and curious. "I.. didn't know I made that big of a.." She started at a mumble, and ended in a roaring laugh. "Oh god! I was kidding! I can't knit! But if you want I can try!"

Quicksilver has posed:
"I did. You certainly left a good impression on me, and I don't think it was because of a pretty smile." Pietro was definitely teasing her now, or at least he verily enjoyed playing or at least being playful. Though when she laughs aloud.

"You almost conned me out of money!" Pietro laughs. "Be still, my beating heart. Well...I would still pay to see the attempt!" he chuckles even more, unendingly amused.

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
The laughter never stops. How she made an impression on him is far beyond her! In fact, she was sure that she would never see him again with her abrupt departure. But she was glad that it wasn't the case.

"Oh.. oh conned?" She laughs again, this time clutching his arm to her tighter as she grasps him with her free hand, pulling him in her direction slightly, but still keeping the pace. "You know what, how about we take that twelve dollars and go for more coffee.. or?" She pauses. "A burrito! I haven't had one in a very, very long time!" That she could remember. "Buut.. since you're insistant, we'll get yarn and sticks and knit together like a couple of old fogies."

Quicksilver has posed:
Well, despite the abrupt departure last time, Pietro was happy he found the mistress of magic all over again, the same joy returning to the pair even as Pietro laughs upon Zatanna pulling him closer to her and towards her direction! "Why hello there." he flirts.

"A burrito?! Well...I don't see why not! You likely know of a better place than I, so you can lead the way. Oh god, I certainly can't knit, but I can YouTube a tutorial and see how far I get." alas, Pietro seems very on board with all this.

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
"Wha?" She was positively glowing. Nevermind she was the one who tugged him close, but she still retained it even as she shimmies along. "Hi." Blushes. For a moment, if Zatanna willed it, she could pull herself away from the situation, watch herself and him as they walk along in laughter in which she'd probably declare them adorable.

The horror.

"Oh, you want to do them both?" She asks, jesting. "Burritos and knitting! That sounds like a fun da.. ah.. time...!"

Quicksilver has posed:
Pietro smiled so beautifully to Zatanna, and when they were that close, he was so tempted to be extremely bold, but had a feeling that Zatanna would slap that perfect nose off of his perfect face. So, instead, he blushed briefly and he just walked alongside her, his fingers perhaps playing gently with hers.

"Guess we'll do both!" Pietro winks at her, and he playfully just laughs. "Wanna make it a date?" Pietro smiles at her, though there's a strong hint of serious in his tone. TAKE YOUR SHOT, PIETRO

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
"Daring man.." Zatanna teases, feeling herself growing closer to him even if she didn't want to. She felt that sometimes her life was a mess, and maybe.. just maybe she forgotten things for this reason alone. To start over. At least that was her conversation with Mr. Wayne. So, she lets go, allowing her head to rest upon his shoulder briefly before pulling away, yet still holding onto his arm.

Pietro had just took a shot. And she was ready to catch.

"Sure, why not?"

Quicksilver has posed:
Pietro smiles, resting his head on Zatanna's for as long as she rested her head on his shoulder. "I do like to take risks." then, when Pietro took his shot, she either had the bravery or the will to say yes! Pietro was ecstatic to the point of screaming on the inside, but like everything he does...

He plays it cool.

"Then it's a date." Pietro smiles to Zatanna, and soon follows suit by attempting to hold her hand even though she has his arm. Why not both? Isn't it the new hip? "So, lead us to the burrito place? I will be fully relying on your burrito expertise to make sure I'm eating the best."

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
He likes to take risks? She keeps her mouth shut, lips pressed tight with a smile that she tries to hide. She was thinking it, if he liked to take risks, he probably would have kissed her already..

"Wait, you mean right now?" Duh! "I.. uh.." Damn! "Do you know the fastest way to New York?"

Quicksilver has posed:
Oh, he's going to.

In fact, he was about to do it before Zatanna asks him if he knows the fastest way to New York. "I can get us there in 5 seconds tops." Quicksilver smiles to Zatanna. "But I might need a little encouragement." Pietro stops then, turning to look at Zatanna, he'll lift a hand to caress her cheek, before leaning down to try and steal a gentle kiss from the Princess of Prestidigitation!

Risks....

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
"Five seconds?" Zatanna was mildly surprised. She never really asked him what he could do, she just assumed he was just a normal, every day fellow who..

..kisses her...

Her skin nearly felt like it began to crawl, crawl in the sense that little fingers began to tickle against the surface of her skin very lightly and cause gooseflesh to rise.

Yup, risks. Lets not mention the fact that waves of euphoria wash over her, and her eyes remain closed even after the kiss, light as it was, was done. Damn..

Quicksilver has posed:
Well, it was one way to give her a lovely display of affection! Pietro held the kiss for a little bit, before he slowly pulled away, not even pulling away from her, he looks at the euphoric look on her face, and he even gave her another brief kiss juuuuuust to be sure, before he smiles. "Time to go to New York." Pietro whispered. He reaches down, trying to pick her up in his arms as if to cradle her.

"I need you to hold on tight okay? this is gonna get fast."

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
It probably would be the first of many kisses; Zatanna holds onto it as long as she can, reveling in the closeness with a grip of both of his arms. She lets out a little giggle, leaning back to watch his smile, her cheeks darkening in the red, and nearly yelping as he picks her up off of her feet.

"Wait.. are we teleporting?" She couldn't help but ask, looping an arm around his neck, burying her face within his shoulder. Hold on tight? Sure.

Quicksilver has posed:
First of many kisses indeed. "No, not teleporting. But instead, we're gonna go really really fast. Super Fast, in fact. But don't worry, there's also the payment on arrival." Pietro, you sly dog! he winks at Zatanna, before he looks towards New York's direction and he starts to run.

Ho. Lee. Shit.

It was like a blurry experience, running so fast. Sure enough, within seconds, they arrive in New York, with Pietro not looking like he's even winded with a big smile for Zatanna. "and we're here."

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
"Payment? What?" Zatanna was confused, granted her voice was muffled and he quite possibly haven't heard a word she said. But within a blink and a cold gust of wind, they were there! And in.. quite possibly the most prettiest part of New York that looked NOTHING like Gotham.

"Wow." Is all she could get out. "Wooooow.." The mood wasn't dark. No, she was quite amazed. And enjoyed herself! "I.. suddenly don't want a burrito.."

Quicksilver has posed:
Pietro smiles to Zatanna, setting her back on the ground so she could stand upright, his hands gripping her shoulders just in case. "I should have warned you that you might be a little nauseous..." he looked worried, but seemed quite happy that she enjoyed his speed. Notm any people do.

It was a beautiful change of pace. Can Zatanna stop being so perfect?! Not that he wants her to.
