Look at it this way

Just help me out,okay ?

The next thing she knew she was at his cabin being tucked in by her quote unquote 'enemy'.It didn't feel like it however as he had a touch as soft as silk.A lot of things were running through Zatanna's mind, and a lot of them were fear influenced, but she felt it were best if she didn't ,despite it creating a lot of internal conflict.He appeared emotionless, ruthless, reckless, careless,yet he was gentle, caring, sensitive and vulnerable.She struggled to wrap her head around this concept, but it felt as if needn't have to be explained.

Zaheer had a history.He was known for crimes against people, however he never committed a crime against somebody he felt they hadn't deserved it but that changed when he encountered Zatanna ,an illusionist and magician.He was a teenager ,walking up to his next victim ,not knowing she would stop him and fell in love her, and their paths would intertwine from there onwards.

The next morning, she woke up expecting Zaheer would demand an explanation on how she found him,however, she herself couldn't explain how she found him.For her it felt like a force that was attracting her towards Zaheer-"Enjoyed your sleep ?" he said, unexpectedly."Yeah, it uhh...was alright", she didn't know what to say."So...wanna talk about what happened back in the woods ?", he says with concern.Hearing the concern in his voice and now confused,she says:"Why would I wanna talk to you about my issues ?"
"If you were fighting someone else in that same situation,you would've been dead."

Refusing to give into his so-called mind games,she says sarcastically,"What, am I supposed to say thank you for granting me mercy ?"
"Well it seems to me that you dont let anybody do anything for you especially when you got some issues you need to sort out.",he says matter-of-factly.It's almost as if he can sense her somehow.Whatever it was, it wasn't going to get though to Zatanna."If that was the case, I wouldn't have been here with you right now.",she says ,in hopes that he would stop whatever he was doing.Zaheer then nods then asks,"Then why are you here with me right now ?"

She couldn't answer that question, even though her initial thought was for revenge, it didn't feel like it, and because of this, she thought it'd be better for her to leave and attempt to answer the question on her own, without anybody interfering, or knowing.Zaheer could feel her internal conflict and knowing she was going to try and solve it on her own,he uttered ,right at she was about to leave,"You know that the answer you seek is not outside."She stopped in front of the door,intrigued by his statement,she asks"What's the answer ?"
"It's gonna sound dumb but your magic is leading you to me."

"Show me how to unlock my hidden powers.",Zatanna says, somehow sensing him ,just like how he sensed her a few moments ago."How am I supposed to teach a magician how to use-"
"Just teach me, okay ?", she says, knowing he is the best person to teach her."That's all I'm asking from you."Zaheer thinking to himself that it's not an easy journey for her, both physically and mentally,also knowing this is his opportunity to confess his feelings but he declines them due to his determination to help her to unlock her power,"I'll help you, okay ?Just don't complain when it gets hard." "Sure." she says enlightened ,which seems both weird and hypnotic for Zaheer.
