hellstar week day 5: character study

Zari Tarazi was used to shitty guys.

There was the boyfriend who cheated on her with her best friend/assistant, the multitude of guys who dated her for the fame and status and couldn’t give a flying fuck about her actual feelings, and of course, DJ S’more Money.

He was also in the second category.

But she had long since gotten used to it. Being one half of a power couple was great for keeping up her image, no matter how much she hated it. She’d made a handful of shitty decisions as well when the public wasn’t watching, hooking up with guys or gals she shouldn’t have. 

John wasn’t that at all, though.

He could be, in his words, a nasty piece of work, and he was very much not what she considered when she thought about ‘her type’. She had always thought her type was the self-absorbed fuckboy, against her better judgement.

A demonologist with a snarky attitude and a strong preference for trench coats (designer or not) was not the image Zari conjured when asked about her type.

Yet the moment he’d played the Romeo to her Juliet, that image slowly started to creep in.

Maybe it was the fact that despite how he looked and how he acted, he wasn’t a shitty guy. He didn’t care about her fame, didn’t even own a phone. It was humbling at the same time that it was uplifting. She never felt like she had to pretend around him the same way she pretended around everyone else.

When she had told that to the other her, when she had asked about her and John, it had felt stupid. He could be sweet and funny and a great kisser when he didn’t taste like cigarette smoke, but it was that one thing that her love him the most. He loved her for who she was, under all the walls she hid behind. 

But her doppelganger had just smiled and said, “I knew we weren’t that different after all.”

hellstar week day 4: missing moments

John hesitated before he knocked on Zari’s door. “You alright in there, love?” he asked. “Everyone’s getting ready to leave, with or without ya.”

Going to the Hole had been Charlie’s idea, when all of them had needed a pick-me-up after saying goodbye to the other Zari. He’d been absent for her send-off, but he couldn’t blame the others for needing something to numb the pain.  

The door slid open, revealing Zari, his Zari sitting at her vanity. He’d half expected her to still be getting ready, pretending everything was fine for one night, or forever. But she was already ready, fiddling with the eyeliner in her hands as she said, “Come in,” without looking over at him. 

He stepped in, tucking his hands into his pockets. “We’re about to make the jump to London, if you’re still coming with us.”

Zari finally looked over at him. John recognized the torn Union Jack shirt, the studded leather jacket, and wondered if it had merely been a memory from another timeline or another Legends’ intentional meddling that had influenced her fashion choice for the venue. “Well, other me didn’t sacrifice herself for me to spend the night sitting in my room and not hanging out with my brother, did she?”

“I suppose she didn’t,” he answered. 

She stood up, tugging on her jacket as she did. He had to admit it was a good look for her, though he doubted there was anything she couldn’t pull off. “Nothing like a... grimy old punk bar to cheer me up.”

John laughed. “Did they tell you it used to be my old haunting place?”

“Why doesn’t that surprise me one bit?” He didn’t miss the small smile that spread across her face as she walked up beside him. “I hope that means you know some backroom no one will find us.”

He slung an arm over her shoulders, pulling her close. “I’m sure I can come up with something.”

“Good.”
