[James and Zatanna are in what appears to be a moment of domestic bliss. Everyone's favorite couple are in her media room and, more importantly, they're surrounded by rabbits of all kinds. They're on the floor, on the desk, and... mostly curled up near James. One in particular is laying on its back in his lap, fast asleep. The couple, however, are focused on the computer before them.

Zatanna makes a rushed noise and points at the screen, prompting James to stop scrolling.] See! I told you there was a ton! [The screen features a cluster of fanfiction about the two of them, a good number of them seem to be weird AUs and love triangles.

James reads a description of one aloud:] "It Takes Two to Teach Love by TantalizingTwilightFan: Zatanna is the new vampiric vixen English teacher in the City, upon meeting James Bond, her boss and school Principal, she thinks he's rude and obnoxious. Is there more to him than meets the eye? Rated Mature for language and lemons." ...These natives have a little too much time on their hands. At least they understand the part about you being blood sucking.

I'd hit you, if it didn't mean waking the bunnies. [A beat.] What do lemons have to do with a mature rating? I like that I get to be the vampire in this one, though. [She seems a little too pleased with this.]

Vampire or not, it says here that I'm your boss. [He shifts just enough in his chair to somehow look more smug than he already did.] Now be a dear, Miss Zatara, and get us a bottle of wine before I'm forced to drown myself in bunnies instead.

You know, I might enjoy watching that... but I'm only going to do this because I'm too sober to read any of these. When I get back, you better be prepared to read that quality piece of fiction to me, Mister Bond. [She carefully extracts herself from her seat so as not to disturb any bunnies and the video comes to an end. It's for the better that they don't read any of these on the Network. They're looking in the mature section, after all.]

Once or twice. I prefer rats, though. It gives a good mental vision, doesn't it?

[out_of_time]

Yeah, I'd say it does. [Jack smirks a bit.]

Remind me to never make you angry.

[hexappeal]

If I have to remind you, I'm sure it'll be too late...

Video

[out_of_time]

Are you saying that because you still want me to give you that show?

[He can take a hint Zee.]

[hexappeal]

Well, you are a good-lookin' guy. You can't blame me for it, Jack.

[out_of_time]

[Jack actually smiles full-out this time, not entirely immune from flattery. Especially if it's from Zee.]

Yeah, I guess I can't.

let's just perma this video thing, here!!

[hexappeal]

So. How've you been? Here to ask for my ever-entertaining, ever-delightful company?

[out_of_time]

Yeah, I might be. [Jack chuckles a bit.] There's a chance I could be discharged soon, Callie's been working at it. Once that happens, if that happens, I'd like to meet up with you.

[hexappeal]

Why, Jack. I was beginning to think you'd never be so bold! [She isn't dumb, though. She knows that this is most likely for strategy, if not protection (or both).] I'll be waiting for it.

[out_of_time]

Hopefully you won't have to wait long.

[In a shocking deviation from established pattern, Jack actually just wants to do something social this time! Although since it's Jack they will almost certainly end up talking about combating mass murderers anyway.]

[hexappeal]

If there's anything I can do to speed up the process, you know I'm always willing to lend a hand.

[Frankly, she wouldn't be surprised. That's Jack's hobby, after all. Maybe she'll suggest he take up knitting...]

[out_of_time]

I'll ask Callie if she could use you as a witness for the hearing.

[Do not break him out of the hospital Zee.]

[hexappeal]

I've been here since you moved up on the food chain and I'd say I have a more unique view of the former PD than most, especially for not being involved with it myself.

[She will if he doesn't get out, though. Because that's bullshit!!]

[out_of_time]

I'll let her know that, it should help her. Thank you, Zatanna.

[hexappeal]

Anytime, Jack.

Until then, I can send you some spicy fanfiction.
