Ah the Batman, Dinah thought for herself. Everyone had a strong opinion about Batsie. Ollie & Hal had a thing against him, well, she knew deep down they cared all the tree for one another, it was just members of the family you couldn’t deal with on a daily basis. Dinah & Bruce were friends, & yeah, if you really asked her she thought he was handsome, & could totally be her type - minus the fact he was lacking of a lot of fun. They wouldn’t get along together on that romantic side. She’d gladly leave it to others. She barely could handle her own personal issues with Ollie so… she didn’t need anyone else complicated in the equation.
However, there was something in Zee’s tone that made Dinah aware of her feelings for him. Canary knew something was hovering on them but she couldn’t say what - a crush or flirt, more ? It pained her to know maybe nothing will happen on a long term, because all she wanted was Zatanna happy. It wasn’t like she could count on Constantine for that anyway.
“ Men like him are too complicated for us. I mean, with the lives we have, do we really need to turn it even more complex ? No, no more tears & all that jazz. You deserve better, but I know, I shouldn’t be the judge of that. ” Blablabla.
Dinah’s brow quirked in disbelief facing the magician’s, “ There’s nothing with a little jealousy you know… I mean, it’s normal, I get jealous too. ” Especially when you were on & off dating n archer womanizer. Though, it’s been a while since any accident like that happened. Dinah pouted in Zee’s direction, completely forgetting about the program streaming, “ You’re cute when you’re jealous. ” She winked, brushed her friend’s hand against her cheek softly for a tender caress, then turned back to the tv, arm extended to pick her can of beer with extreme effort considering her laziness in this moment, “ Who needs guys anyway. ”
the thing was ------ she knew the batman and bruce wayne. there was years of history between the two, dating back since they were kids. bruce had always been an important figure in her life, even when they hadn’t spoken for years when she and her father moved away from gotham after the wayne’s death. it was ... complicated to explain it all, especially when you put her own personal feelings in the mix. not like she’s been super subtle about it, but she hasn’t been overly obvious about it either. zatanna’s not the type to make swooning over a man her main priority.
not that it mattered. nothing would ever happen between the two and her love life was determined to stay disastrous. for a woman who seemed to have everything, the romance in her life was either minimal or shit. not even magic could fix that.
eyes blink as she looks back down at dinah, and the corner of her mouth curls upward. ‘ that’s very motivating, di. in fact, i feel inspired. ’ she teases her, her tone light. ‘ but you are right about one thing ---- i do deserve better. not like that’ll change anything. ’
‘ i know it’s normal. ’ zatanna sighs, blowing at a lock of hair near her face. ‘ but i don’t like being jealous. especially over things that are not mine. ’ being jealous was a perfectly human reaction, and there was no way that you could hide away from it. but she resolved not to be that pettily jealous girl, who throws a fit when the boy she likes won’t look her way. or, to be the type who fucks with the other women, who were normally innocent and did nothing wrong. that wasn’t her. her nose scrunches at the blonde and she’s tempted to stick her tongue out, deciding to just gently swat at her hand. her head shakes, dark locks moving with the motion. ‘ sadly, us. and most women. ’
