"Those are the ones that don’t harm anyone though. Myths about werewolves and vampires aren’t going to fool anyone because they know it’s fictional. Although I do believe that there is some truth behind it" He grinned as he thought about all of the fiction books and movies. He actually enjoyed them quite a lot. "I guess that an escape isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes it’s actually needed and recommended." He nodded, already finding out more about Zatarro and his origins. "I guess that people were right then, there are some good accidents out there. Yet your abilities are still pretty rare." He nodded slightly at what the other said. "I’m sure that with just a little practice you’re going to be able to get every where."

The hat was definitely a good look on the magician, but it didn’t really seem to fit him, or so he thought. “Thank you.” The comparison was a humorous one, even for Kory’s idea of humor, and it caused him to snicker softly. “Even if you know the language completely some fail to make any sense. What about you? Do you pick up things right away or do you require a little bit of time?” He shrugged slightly. “I’m only warning you that some people never fail to bore me and once that happens you’re done.”

Kory had a thing for flowers, he appreciated the plant life. Sure he was more into exotic plants that were on his home planet, but roses were so beautiful. He gazed upon one of them as he picked it up. “You’re right. The petals are soft and delicate to the touch, but push the wrong buttons and thorns sting you with their rage.” 

There was a small sigh of relief when he knew for sure that he didn’t have to put on a show for anyone. “I’m sure that I wouldn’t be any real competition compared to you, but thank you for not making me do it. They’re actually pretty good. both of them are enjoying their time in the island for a while. I left them alone in hopes that they won’t destroy my ship.” He nodded a little bit, Z’s statement was true. “Although mistakes are common they are also useful, they help you learn and improve. I’m sure that the mistakes you’ve made have only made you wiser. As long as you like the change then everything is good.” There was beauty in the night, but the daytime literally gave him power. “The night does hold true beauty, but the day holds strength. They’re different but work the same way, I see.”

 “And how do you know werewolves and vampires aren’t running around when your back is turned?” he grinned, “Think about it, in the grand scheme of things is it really so much more unbelievable than a magician who uses real magic? You have to remember Kory, not everything you read in books is a lie.” He crossed his arms, “True, everyone needs an escape in some way, some exercise, some have sex, some read. I have a bath.” He said, that was his way to relax and pretend his problems were gone, if only for an hour. “They’re not exactly common but the odd accident can work out for the best. The only people I know who do what I do are my family, so I’d agree it’s pretty rare.” He chuckled, “I rather like that thought,” he trailed off smiling, “I really do.”

He nodded at the Prince, but he’d agree, the hat was his thing, ever since he’d been old enough to try on his father’s he’d decided it would be his look. He grinned, proud that he could make Kory laugh without resorting to more magic, “Tell me about it. You tried holding down a conversation with Wally and Dick… Seriously, one time I had to cast a spell to slow them down to understand what they were saying.” He chuckled, “Oh I take time, the same as pretty much anyone, every spell and every trick, they all took time to master and I have a natural aptitude for it.” He said, “Well, in that case I shall endeavour not to bore you Mr. Prince, something new for every conversation.” He promised.

“Roses are pretty interesting flowers, not my favourite though, sirI.” He muttered, and a fully bloomed iris appeared in his hand, he brought it close and smelt it, lovely. “One should make a habit of never pissing off a rose then.”   

He could only smile at how relieved the hero looked, “You’d be surprised, odds are you’d only have to walk on stage and tickets would be selling out.” He laughed, “Besides, I doubt a person could make you do anything if you really didn’t want to.” He smiled, glad those two were happy if nothing else, “That’s comforting, I suppose I worry about the folks on the fringe a little.” Then he started to wonder about Kory’s ship, “I hope that ship of yours is explosion proof, especially if my memories hold true.”  He agreed, “They’re useful, but c’mon, who could really enjoy their mistakes? Besides, people have to make a choice to learn from them, some do, some don’t. And that’s probably the difference between succeeding and failing in the second attempt.” He’d always be a night lover, just like his dad was, “Each is different, but yes, they do. Plus one keeps the other in balance and vice versa. And I think balance is best we can hope for.”

"I don’t always wear the same shirt! Besides it’s my uniform!”

"Yea? Well, it sure smells like it, plus it's boring as all get out, there is nothing wrong with a little flare to a uniform y'know." he adjusted his top hat.

"Just because a picture can say a thousand words doesn’t mean it should be used to ignore what’s really there. Sometimes humans just want to fool themselves I assume, which is sad." Kory couldn’t help but smile slightly at the compliment. "Well thank you Zatarro, it’s nice to know that it’s paying off. I’m pretty sure your first words conjured you a pacifier or something like that." There was a soft laugh that echoed through the alley from Kory. "Making people happy does not seem like such a bad thing. That’s some mighty big change then." He shrugged his shoulders slightly. "Then let’s keep on muddling. You’re already close to reaching his level."

"Oh never mind, I think that I get it now. You see some things like that you just have to clear up." He moved his hat over to tilt Z’s hat to give him a different look. "Then the people that are at that age should just be holding onto being a child or pushing themselves forward to become a full adult." He didn’t really see the point of adults being immature but then again he didn’t see the point of young people not having fun either. "Let’s just hope that day I’m not going to be bored."

Kory wasn’t expecting anything magical, he was just speaking freely, but then he saw the roses appear in the place of the Great Magician and he smiled slightly. He walked forward and picked up two of the roses, taking in their smell as he stood straight up once again. “I think that these smell amazing and look it too.” 

"Don’t kill be for saying this but I think that I still should leave the magical things to yourself. Trust me I have enough on my plate with being one of the Outlaws, I don’t need to add performer onto that. "Who says that you don’t succeed? Come on now, you have to give yourself more credit." Kory smirked slightly when the other called him tenacious and nodded. "What can I say, when I want something I don’t stop till I get it. Although I do get bored quite easily so there’s still a chance I might not care." He nodded and took that into account. "The nights are going to be my best friends from now on then." The hero had a proud look on his face. "I’ve had time to adjust, and you are right. Unless your monsters up there are reality." 

"Of course they do, we're an odd race when you think about it, films, fictional books, aren't these all lies in a way? But they're fun ones," he smiled, "It gives sad people a chance to walk around in a happy world for a little while, or even the other way around. Not bad, just... An escape." he reasoned. "It certainly is Kory," he chuckled at that image, "No such skill, I wasn't born this way, I found my skills by complete accident." he smirked at the memory. "It is an excellent thing my friend, a skill rarer than my abilities." he smirked at that one, "Yea, well, I call it magic for a reason." he nodded, "Muddling is as good a way as any. And I suppose, with time I could get there."

  He smiled, watching Kory play with the hat, "Good look." he chuckled, "Yes well, I'm not as bad as some, believe me trying to have conversations with some heroes is like navigating a maze," he said wryly, "Ehh, they usually get the hang of it towards the end, it just takes a little while, the same as with anything that's new." he gasped playfully, "How dare you! People are never bored around me, I'm very interesting." he said in mock-offense.

He watched Kory smell the rose petals and smiled, "They really do, roses are a beautiful flowers, they can stand on their petals alone, although the thorny stems are impressive too, strength mixed with beauty and all that." he said, watching the rest of the petals fall to the floor.

He laughed loudly, "Relax your highness, I'm not seriously encouraging it, if anything I wouldn't want the competition. Speaking of though, how is your little ragtag group? I haven't really spoken to Hood or Arsenal in... A very long time." he finished, "I think everyone makes mistakes, hell I've messed up plenty of times, but you're right I've done well plenty of times too." he smiled, "That's a rare attitude these days, makes a nice change from folks scheming and plotting to get what, I think I prefer it," he said, "I've always preferred the night, it's prettier, and plus, the dark can hide a multitude of sins," he smirked, "Time and intelligence I would say, and no, they aren't, but they can be frightening all the same." he trailed off.

Kory had a small smile on his face, a smile of victory since he had gotten the phrase right. “How do you mean that they will take it to the extreme? What is it that they do?” He shrugged his shoulders slightly, he really didn’t know how much he had improved. “I wouldn’t say top notch, but who knows? I don’t think I’ll ever have as much skill as you to be able to do that.” He couldn’t help but laugh softly. He never got how Zatarro managed to do that. “So you’re comparing to your member as a magic wand? That’s clever. What about when it grows?” Human metaphors and allegories were humorous. “Oh so is that why most of us were able to adapt so quickly?” He saw the sadness in the boy’s smile and decided to drop his father as a topic. “So are you.”

"You must not be lying since you said it with your whole heart." Kory smiled widely as he moved his hand up to the nearest wall on the right and leaned over it, to the side. "What if you’re in the middle of being a kid and an adult?" There was a joyful sparkle in his eyes. "Amazing! The sooner I know the better!"

"Then you’re going to have to work on that a lot because it sounds like you need it soon. Even disappearing and leaving a couple dozen roses in your place can do the trick. I wouldn’t know though, I’m not magic."

Starfire moved his eyes upward to try and see the hat, but he only managed to peek at the part right above his eyes. He really needed a mirror right now. “I think that I’ll just leave that job to you though. You are the best magician that I have seen, or at least one of the best.” Kory took off the hat and then placed it on Zatarro’s head again. “You didn’t say anything about tomorrow night, so there’s still hope for me yet.” His facial expression was almost a challenging one. “The stronger ones are always the ones that are brave enough to face the truth. Not run from it. It’s like winning a battle that’s just inside of us, right?” 

"Well, usually they'll use some words a picture contains to tell the story they want. Ignoring all evidence to the contrary." he explained, "I think your speech is fine, there's a nice lilt to the way you talk. It makes me smile," he told him, "My parents once said my first words came out backwards. Though I expect they were just reading into baby babble a little too much." he looked at Kory and his grin grew, and grew until he was laughing, loud and freely in the alley, "Oh Kory! You always make me happy," he said clutching his stomach, "Let's just say, first it's a magic wand, then it's a magic cane," he winked, once again teasing. "Either that or we're just good at muddling through." he shrugged, "I'm getting there. Maybe I'll be as good as him someday."

"It's more a figure of speech Kory, like the 'magic wand' meaning penis." he said, "But I meant it nonetheless." He tilted his head thinking about being a teenager, it wasn't long ago, "Usually you loose the best of both ages at that point, you're too busy trying to get the hang of growing. Too immature to be a grown-up, too cynical to still be a kid." he said, running a hand through his hair. He chuckled again, "Since it matters so much to you I'll be sure to let you know one day." he promised.

He smirked at him, roses eh? Well, if the Prince wanted, the Prince got. "pawS em rof sesor." he said, disappearing in a small whirlwind of rose petals. He reappeared just behind Kory and bumped him with his butt, "What due think?" he asked, grinning.

"It suits you, Kory The Great Star Magician!" he announced grandly, "Playing to packed stages, from Vegas to Gotham and back." He blushed a little, pleased at the compliment, "I try, I can only try. And hope in the end that's enough." he fiddled with the hat when it was replaced, getting the tilt just right before responding, "You are tenacious aren't you? There's a chance, tomorrow, and the next night, and the next." he said, "A very small chance, but a chance all the same." He smiled wryly, "Once again you grasp human language better than some of the natives. But I have to say, sometimes I'd rather fight an army out here, than a single foe in here." he tapped the side of his head.

Dion shook his head, and looked at the wand and hat, and looked towards him. ”No Magic, just your fists, and strength and you may pick a weapon, if you want”

He smiled at him and blinked a few times... "Really? Really!?" he whined, holding out his hands to gesture, "But you're.. Y'know, you! And I'm, well," he shook his head and took a deep breath, "Oh alright. It's not like I have any plans today, nursing my wounds'll do just fine." he said, whipping off his hat and dropping his wand into it, it disappeared despite being too big to do so.

That done he assumed a fighting stance, a took a few more breaths, settling on the balls of his feet. "Okay." he said, voice serious now, "After you Amazon." he said, watching for any moves.

It was a little different, being on stage as “Vincent”. He could feel the eyes on him, making sure he was’nt using a slip of the hand or anything during the tricks. Frankly, Billy was just happy he did’nt fall on his ass or make a fool of himself. Of course, then there was that announcement he was being cut into three and his eyebrows arched up at the notion of it. Billy was just as curious as he peered into the box before he slipped into it. Letting the other strap him in. His eyes flicking to the other at the words as he forced a happy smile onto his own face as he was shakled down.

There was a light blush as those whispered words. He had to admit, being tied down in a…rather different setting by the other boy actually sounded like a good night. Though, he tried to push any thoughts like that out of his head. Getting hard in front of his audience in what he was wearing? Not a good idea. 

Billy saw the door closed and he started to wiggled out of the bonds. His hand slipping free after a moment.

Zatarro continued to smooze the crowd to give Billy a little more time, it shouldn't be too hard to get out, once he was Zatarro's magic would do the rest. He walked up to the box and gave it a light tap with his magic wand, "ekaM it kool ekil s'eh ni eerht." he announced grandly, he knew by this point his words flew right over the audiences heads.

That done he began to push the top section of the box so it was almost completely separated from the rest, it was all just a trick, Billy wouldn't feel a thing, he did the same in the opposite direction with the middle and again with the bottom, then he pulled away the cover for the top, muttering "Wiggle your hands," as he went and watching the crowd cheer. Then to the middle, "Smile," he whispered, and finally the bottom, all of him on display in three pieces when Billy was really just standing there. "My poor assistant." he said dramatically, joking with the crowd, "He's fallen to bits, stage pressure, it's an awful thing." as they tittered at his joke he covered Billy up again and pushed the box into place, one more trick and this was done. He waved his wand and opened the top area again and the audience would see Billy's feet instead of his hands, "Oops." he chuckled, shutting the door and with a wave of his wand all doors opened and the unchained Billy could walk out, "Take a bow Vincent." he said moving to the front with a wink.

Hard part over he moved back to a few simpler tricks and illusions that didn't require any real magic, Billy was really good at it, Zatarro would have to be very good to him later, it would be a lie to say he wasn't looking forward to it.

They finally reached the end, after he'd made a flock of doves appear from under one tiny handkerchief he took a bow, and nudged Billy into one too before addressing the crowd.

"Thank you, thank you so much. You have been a fantastic audience. And now, for my final illusion I shall be pulling a rabbit out of my hat." he pulled off his hat and displayed it to the crowd, not in the least put off by their less than thrilled response, "Trust me. It isn't as easy as everybody thinks." he winked at Billy, if he'd enjoyed Zatarro's magic so far, he was gonna love this.

"Sometimes and expression is worth a thousand words. Isn’t that what they say? I don’t know I’m not fully caught up with the lingo yet.” Kory wondered about phrases of the human and thought if he had said it correctly. “Some people hat the change from what I’ve seen, but learning how to live with it seems to be the only way to deal with it. I don’t know. It might be because I’m used to change.” when Kory first found out he just explored everything. “Puts a little dazzle in the act, right? You’re definitely going home but you’re going big. Well we haven’t seen better than you. Except maybe for the big Z, your dad.” He had never seen the older man in action but he only assumed age meant more experience. 

There was a small smirk that plastered across his face. “I’m going to take that as a big compliment, so thank you very much. i wouldn’t want you turning into a child either.” He studied the other hero for a couple of seconds. “Fine. It’ll do, but I’m impatient so not for long.”

"Maybe you can think of your finisher as your signature. Sometimes it the only thing that people will judge you on." He nodded slightly once he understood what Z did. "It makes sense."

Kory moved his right hand over to nudge the magician’s shoulder softly. “Then I guess you’re lucky I’m not some magic doer that’s trying to steal your act. Right?” He chuckled softly. “The suspense is killing me.” Starfire’s voice was light and full of humor. He eyed the bird up until the animal’s grand exit before looking over at Z once again. “I try, sometimes. Yes they do, which is a shame because the truth is right there. Although I understand them, because I too tried to foold myself once. It’s a pleasure.”

He nodded, "That is indeed what they say, though nowadays the press'll take that to extremes," he said wryly, "You're doing very well Kory, I'm sure your speech is top notch. Work on saying things backwards next." he chuckled. Zatarro lightly ran a hand down his now, much flatter chest and sighed, "Well, I don't exactly hate it but it was very confusing. Now I just try to think of it as having one more magic wand added to my collection." he smirked and nodded at Kory, "The strongest beings are the most adaptable after all." He smiled a little sadly when Kory mentioned his father, one hand coming up to rub against his other arm, "Yea. I've got nothing on my father, he was..." he trailed off, "He was really something." 

"It was my friend, one meant wholeheartedly." he linked his arms behind his back and leaned against the wall, "There are some things only grown-ups can do, I think it outweighs the perks of being a kid." he laughed a little, "Oh I won't hold out on you for too long Prince, just long enough to make sure you really wanna know."

"Half the time it is all they remember, but I don't really have a signature as of yet, besides saying things in reverse." he thought about it, he'd have to come up with something, maybe a twist on the rabbit out of the hat trick...

He smirked at the nudge and had a thought, he whipped his hat off and plonked it on Kory's head, "Hmm, I don't know... In that hat you'd make a pretty convincing illusionist, I really think so." he turned around so his back was too him and crossed his arms, "Then start planning the funeral buster. No magical secrets shall pass these lips tonight." he said in  a sing-song voice designed to tease, "The truth is always staring you in the face, I think the mark of the strong is in those who face it rather than see they're own illusions instead. I guess in the end Kory, you were just too strong to fool yourself. There's a victory in that." he turned back and smiled at the Prince.

"You weren’t planning to be nice already? Billy asked with a bite of his lower lip. "A man of many sides, in charge and at the same time, not. You are certainly something." he muttered as his grin got wider at the prospect of that R rated show. "just for me? I’m so flattered." He said as he placed a hand over his heart for a moment, shivering at the others tone. "Might not be much of a show if You just stand there. I might have to suddenly turn magic mike on the audience." Billy grinned at the others words. "Thanks." Billy knew his power was impressive - at least to people who never met his mother. And he knew that his cock was at least a decent size, enough to get the others attention. "Just you wait..You’ve have’nt seen how impressive I can be"

Billy followed the other to the stage, butterflies dancing in his tummy as he heard the audience talk and chatter. “Right. Just walk on.” The mutant waved his hand as he brushed the smoke out of his eyes as he watched the other. He certainly had a command of the stage like no one he’d seen before. It took him a moment to notice the other was talking about him. Billy just closed his eyes and mutterd “i want to make a speical enterence” under his breath and suddenly he was appearing next to Zatarro in a puff of blue light.

"Well, naughty and nice I suppose," he pouted wanting to bite that lip himself, "That's me, I enjoy sitting in the middle, it's gives you the best views," he said, eyes flicking down, "Just for you, so long as I can play a few tricks on you while we're at it," he said just picturing all the things he could do, "Well, I'll have no complaints if that happens. I doubt the audience would either." he raised an eyebrow, "Oh I can't wait for that, though I think I'm already going for... Substantial," he laced the word with innuendo.

He was expecting something good and he got it, the audience began to applaud and there were several wolf whistles too, "That's right folks, isn't he a stud." he said theatrically working the crowd, doing a few smaller tricks getting the audience on side and comfortable, doing the same with Billy, or 'Vincent' for this evening, whispering instructions to him when the crowd wouldn't see and trying to help him relax and have fun. He got to the halfway point and decided it was time for a big one.

"And now folks it's time for a very special trick, I'm going to split my oh so charming assistant into three!" he called out as a large box was brought on and the front of it opened, "As you can see the top, middle and bottom sections of this box can be pulled apart," his other assistant demonstrated, "If you my good sir would just check I'm not doing any hanky panky I shouldn't be," he charmed an audience member up to snoop through the box.

"Very good. Now Vincent if you'll let me strap you in," there was a slight husk to his voice as he guided Billy over and whispered to him, "It's gonna feel a little weird but don't panic, just smile when you see the crowd and keep wriggling your hands and feet." he said this and began to strap him in, "As you can see folks it's a pretty snug fit once he stretches out," he pulled his arms and legs apart and shackled them down, like he was making a star shape, "You look good like this," he whispered, "I'll remember it later." he winked before addressing the crowd again "And so we begin!" he shut the door and got ready to use some of the big stuff, this would be a showstopper.

"You can take it anyway you want too. Yeah. I’m getting that. You’re certainly pretty, at the very least." Billy head tilted at the news he was being strapped in. "I was’nt aware you were so into bondage?" He shot over at the other as he tugged the vest to sit a little straighter. "It’s nice to know you’re not putting an R version of your show up just for little old me." There was a light blush at the whistle he got, even going as far as to do a little spin. "Well, lucky for you, if that’s really the case. Always need a good distraction in magic. Right?" Billy gave a little clap as the boys clothes changed. "Impressive…" The mutant had his own drink as he closed his eyes and conentrated. "iwanttobewearingthecostumeIwantobewearingthecostumeiwanttobewaringthecostume" he muttered again and again, till his hands twitched with blue lightening before his pants changed to the ones that matched the vest. Billy glanced over at the mirror with a smirk. Well, he did look good. "I’ll keep that in mind."

"That's very kind of you, compliment it is then." he nodded and looked away coyly, "You're just saying that so I'll be nice on stage." he chuckled, "Well, only every now and then, it's nice to be in charge, and then it's nice to let someone else have a go," he winked, "But. If you like, you can see the R rated version later, private viewing, just for you." he said lowly, and yep, the blush was adorable and pretty hot to boot, he 'hmmd' in appreciation for the spin. "Believe me, you walk out in that and folks probably won't care if I just stand there doing nothing." he told him. His eyes widened a little at the mans own display of power, "Impressive yourself." he eyed the pants, oh my. "Very impressive indeed."

He moved them to the side of the stage, the theater was packed and an announcer already beginning the introduction. "Just walk on when I introduce you, and FYI, you aren't going on stage as Billy... I'll just make something up." he said. The intro finished and he muttered, "raeppA no egats." He was on the stage in a poof of smoke to thunderous applause, "Good evening ladies and gentlemen! I'm Zatarro! And for one night only, my very special assistant, Vincent Silvertongue!" Well, it would have to do... He glanced of stage and gestured a hand, time for the man to make his own entrance.

"You know, you’re a picture perfect representative of a romantic cynical. It’s impressive, really." Billy blinked at sight of that purple smoke before arching his eyebrow at the other. Evidently he was’nt all he appeared either. "I think I can do that. Though, mines more…Don’t worry. I’ll work it in if I need too? I suppose?" He’d cross that bridge when he came to it. All he had to do was chant a few lines right? His head dropped at the feeling of that hand on his hip before he glanced back up at the other boy. "Sounds good- " Of course, he’d only heard the first part of the offer before he glanced over at the bath. Certainly looked big enough for two people. Not to mention the idea of seeing the other naked and wet? Already had his pants getting a little tighter. "Now that’s an offer I can refuse." Billy said with a little chuckle as he slipped his fingers around the vest before slipping it over his shoulders. "Anything I want? That’s a tall order…"

"I think I'll take that as a compliment," he sniggered, "After all, I'm much more mature than my pretty face makes me look." he said, liking the arched brow it was actually quite hot. "Good to know, but don't feel you have too, most of the show you'll just be posing and in one case you'll be strapped in," he grinned slyly, okay he'd just decided to put that trick in now but who can blame him? "Don't worry, I'm the consummate professional." he said taking his hand away, "Once the shows over well... What happens behind the stage stays behind the stage." he watched him put on the west and whistled, "Gotta say, you wear it better than the last guy." he told him, "And don't underestimate me," took a step back, "teG em ydaer rof eht wohs." he said, and his clothes became his signature coat tie and tails suit with his wand in hand and top hat in place, "they don't call me the master of magic for nothing Billy, I can cater to almost any order you want." he said, "Now, let's go put on a show."

"There is a slight difference between a corrupt goverment officials and romance. " He threw back as he followed him down the stairs of the theater glancing up at the roof before moving backstage to the others dressing room. "Er. You think so?" Billy was’nt entire sure showing off his mutant powers was the greatest idea in the world. Billy slipped into the large dressing room, his eyebrows going up at the size of it. His head tilting a little at the bath before he flicked his eyes back to the other boy. "Wow." Was all he could say to the costume. Certainly was’nt…much of one. "Yeah, totally nice" If by nice he meant slightly slutty. Billy just glanced around before shrugging and peeling off his shirt before reaching for the vest.

"Yea well, both promise you things and don't deliver." he told him, pleased that the guy was impressed with his dressing room, he'd been meaning to make use of the bath at some point... Hmm. "Look, if you've got some ability you can make pretty good use of it in this environment. I tend to play it straight for most of the show but every now and then I'll pull out the good stuff." he raised his free hand a purple smoke billowed out of it before dissipating quickly, "Folks tend to believe it's all part of the show." he smirked, "Course it is, I picked it myself." he told him unable to not look once the shirt was off, well what was wrong with a little fun? "Tell ya what," he said, placing a hand on his hip, "There's a great bar across the road, so do a good show with me tonight and once it's over." He pointed out of the room, "I will buy anything you want in there," then he pointed towards the large bath, "And I will do anything you want in there. Deal?"

"Hey, I suppose I can’t argue with you. Really. Seems a shame, that’s all.." He said shrugging. His own family life had been..complicated. Which was the best way to put it. "Funny, So could I" Billy smirked as he shook his head a little at the notion of it. Billy leaned when the other did, almost expecting a kiss before suddenly the other was jumping back and talking about the show.  That was a whirlwind and a half. "Wait. What?" Billy blinked as he watched the other walk away, taking a moment to glance down at his ass before he gave a dramatic sigh and followed him. He could already hear his twin laughing at him in his head for the whole situation. "It’s Billy, by the way." He called out after him.

"Yea well, it's a shame the government and the police form are a little corrupt but we have deal with that too. The world isn't perfect after all." he told him walking quickly back into the large theater and heading towards his dressing room. "Really? Well, that will come in very handy tonight." If this guy knew a little about magic the show couldn't be to hard to put on. He couldn't help but chuckle as he went, poor guy, he was being such a tease today. It was pretty fun. "As you like Billy, now quickly in here." he ushered them into his large dressing room, this was a good gig, he even had a large couch and a bath in the corner. "Here is you costume," he held it up proudly, it wasn't much clothes wise, just a sleeveless waistcoat and tight black pants, "Nice yea?" he said.

"I think one would argue that you’re neglecting part of your life." Then again, who well did doing everything he did with Teddy work out for him? Broken up and accused of using his powers to make him stay with him. Charming. "Next you’ll pull a rabbit out of a hat. That’s a real classic." Billy’s eyes narrowed for a moment, a slow smirk appearing on his lips as he gave a little chuckle. Yep, he still thought he was getting laid. "Well when you put it like that, it certainly hard to argue with, now is it?"

"Yea well, it's a messy part of life. I found it mainly leads to hurt and clean ups." he told Billy, even family love had never ended well for him. It was painful to think about, "Oh I could. In fact, between me, you and the doorpost," he smirked, "I could pull pretty much anything out of my hat." he winked. "Excellent," he leaned close, lips a breath away before jumping back and grinning, "You can be my assistant for the show tonight." he spun in heel and walked away, calling over his shoulder, "Let's go Mister, I'll explain on the way." he chuckled, the guy was pretty fun and rather fun to look at, this could be fun.

"I take it you’re not one to rush into things then?" Billy asked with a little chuckle as he tilted his head at the other. "Yeah, it is. But still, never gets old. Does it?" Billy blinked as the other stretched out his words. Whatever the other might have been planning , Billy took it as a offer of a date..or a hook up. He stood up a little straighter as he gave a little one shouldered shrug. "Nothing? Why?"

He raised an eyebrow, "Please, I just don't get into things, I never get the chance." he told him, between giving shows and hero work his dance card was a little full. "Course not, the classics are some of the best. They never go out of favour." he smirked, "Really? Well, then." he took a step closer, "How do you fancy visiting a very special place, to do a very special deed which will leave you tired, a little sweaty and I'm certain very satisfied." he asked, lightly biting his lip and linking his arms behind his back.

"Oh…Well, matters of the heart and all that?" Billy said as he scratched the back of his head with a little frown. "Oh, I enjoyed it." Billy just was’nt sure it was real magic. Then again, when you could change reality the idea of real magic was sort of…dull in void. "I rather liked the trick with the box and the swords?"

"Ha! Matter's of the heart my deck of cards," he said, "He shouldn't have gotten so involved so quickly anyway. It'll only lead to trouble." and leave him in the lurch, "I'm glad, I do my best to keep the crowd entertained." he grinned, "Oh that's an old one, pretty standered on the circuit." he looked at the guy, good posture, good looks... "Say," he stretched out the word, "What are you planning on doing this evening?" an idea already forming in his mind.
