The glamorous assistant

I really shouldn't be here, John thought to himself walking around the backstage of the amphitheater. He wanted to surprise you at your next show but little did he know you'd teamed with an old friend. Zatanna Zatara, yep johns ex.

You knew they ended on a bad note so you never invited him to a show as much as you wanted him to be there. Before every show you had a ritual, placing the black suede choker with a silver star pendant around your neck. Touching the star feeling a pulse of magic flowing through you, John's dark magic touching your light. Next, you place a kiss on two of your fingers, touching a photograph of you and John stuck on your mirror.

Getting dressed, you pulled on your costume. Zipping the front of your corset top and there was a knock at the door. "I'll be right there!" You shouted, grabbing your hat and coat. "I was hoping we could have five minutes before you go on" a British accent replied, you turned around as fast as you could recognizing that voice. "John!" you shouted, pulling him into a tight hug. you couldn't stop smiling. "Suprise!" He smiled holding you close.

you couldn't believe that he was here, considering that Zee was in the same building. "I'm guessing you didn't bump into zee, given you're still alive" you commented with a giggle. John couldn't answer you, he was mesmerized by you. he hadn't seen you dressed in your costume before and he liked it very very much. the corset pulling in your waist, showing off your curves. the small dance shorts do not leave much to the imagination. "Hello, earth to John" you questioned waving your hand in front of his face. He blinked multiple times pulling himself into the real world.

you raised a brow, "You are sexy as fuck" John blurted out, typical john says what he's thinking with no filter at all. A soft pink blush crept across your cheeks, john tucked a piece of stray hair behind your ear. "Five minutes (y/n)!" One of your stagehands shouted from the doorway" to your dressing room. "Best go take your seat, that's if you're staying" you enquired a sad look in your eyes. you completely understood if he didn't want to stay.

Zatanna wasn't upset, more held a grudge against John. trust me you wouldn't want to be on Zatanna's bad side it is not pretty! "I wouldn't miss it for the world" John beamed, he would happily climb out of hell for you, he's done it plenty of times before. you smiled walking past him towards the stage, you immediately stopped in the hallway. turned back to john and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "for luck" you explained walking back to the stage. John smiled wiping the ruby red lipstick you had left on his lips, "You don't need luck!" he called after you.

the show went off without a hitch and Zee didn't spot the familiar trench coat in the audience, thank the lord! you didn't have to use your face stage smile, you couldn't help but smile every time you caught a glimpse of him in your sight. John was filled with pride watching you do your thing, he won't lie tho he did have his heart in his mouth with a few of your tricks. He knew you both had magic but it didn't stop him from worrying about you. You were the love of his life at the end of the day.
