DC Superhero Girls: Plus Ultra

Hattrick

Izuku had been asked by Zatanna to accompany her to one of her shows. He was mostly in charge of just standing there and keeping the kids from getting grabby with the performance. They were in a kid's backyard and Zatanna was performing her usual party tricks, such as bits of sleight-of-hand and minor levitation that were driving the kids wild with excitement. Izuku, for his part, couldn't believe how a girl that could make anything out of thin air was working as a party magician. He knew many people that would've given up an arm and a leg for such abilities, and yet here she was making doves appear out of her hat.

"Thank you, thank you all! You're too kind!" Zatanna said, bowing while the children cheered.

Izuku kept the kids from going over the line but couldn't help but clap along with them.

"Now, I believe that it's time for the birthday girl to go get some cake!" called out Zatanna, making the children stampede towards the table.

The children quickly went to the table, leaving Izuku and Zatanna to clean up the small stage that she'd been using for the show.

"Awesome show, Zatanna! Knocked it out of the park," Izuku said, putting away some of the props.

"Oh please, Izuku darling, this isn't even half of me at my best," She said as she began tossing things into her top hat, everything disappearing the second it entered the fancy headpiece. "If I'm ever given a chance to perform on a big stage, you'll be able to see what I can really do."

"I just hope you save the best for when we're out on patrol," said Izuku while putting the boxes away.

"Don't worry, my dad's first rules are to use magic with care and to never abuse its power," said Zatanna with a smile, twirling her top hat before placing it on top of her head.

At that moment, the mother of the birthday girl, while being accompanied by some of the children, came up to the two teens and offered them a seat at the table. The kids began dragging both Izuku and Zatanna, unbeknownst to her making her drop her hat onto the ground. The two teens were given cake and a party hat as they sang happy birthday to the birthday girl.

The kids continued to play until the party came to an end, while Izuku and Zatanna were paid by the mother.

"We can't thank you enough for coming here and performing for the party," said the father as he watched the children play in the backyard.

"No problem, sir," Izuku said, happy that the kids had a fun party.

"Whenever you need a little sense of wonder, don't forget to call The Fabulous Zatanna," said Zatanna giving a final bow.

The parents clapped happily before the two teens had to go, they had homework after all. As the two teens walk home they began talking about the party.

"That was a pretty fun party, Zatanna," said Izuku

"Yeah, it was fun," She replied, feeling pretty good about having some more alone time with the green-haired boy. "But what I really want is to be hired for some big jobs. Jobs that put me in front of big crowds without my dad holding my hand."

The magic user of the Teen Titans was indeed intrigued by the exchange student. She figured that she was indeed smitten by his selfless actions and heroic demeanor. But she had yet to see Izuku as anything other than a simple crush. Not of course that she wasn't willing to pursue a romantic relationship with him.

"I'm sure that you'll do amazing when you're hired for one of those," said Izuku before something caught his eye.

"Why thank you, Izuku. I'll be sure to give you a front row seat," said Zatanna feeling really proud of herself, and happy for the praise.
