“So you’re telling me that little Batsy there was able to grant herself and her so-called friend's new magical powers,” John Constantine said, looking through that crack of Bee’s room with Zatanna to see that the girls had fallen asleep watching Sailor Moon.

“Yes,” Zatanna said, dragging him away from her daughter's room “Is there anything that you can do?”

“Zee even if I wanted to believe you, what the bloody hell do you expect me to do? You’re the most powerful sorceress that I have ever seen, and your bloody daughter was able to do something that not even you could do, what the feck do you expect me to do?” Constantine asked Zatanna.

“I want you to help her!” Zatanna said, worried for her daughter's safety if someone like Dr. Fate found out about her talent.

“She is or at least was a grown man, let her figure this shit out, it’s not our problem,” Constantine said, indifferent to the whole matter. He came because Zee needed him, not to help Bee.

“She is my daughter!” Zatanna said furiously at Constantine.

“Ugh, this is why I told you not to do this shit!” Constantine yelled back at her. “He was the bloody batman, the dark night! The man that didn’t fear death! I warned you lot that messing with that wasn’t a good idea, but no one ever listens to me till it’s too bloody late!”

“Zee, you upset the balance when you turned the Batman into your little doll. Think of her giving herself and her friend's new powers as a way of balance resetting itself.”

“So, making her more powerful resets the scales? I doubt that,” Zatanna said, not believing his word.

“Then believe whatever the bloody fuck that you want!” Constantine yelled at her. “I never wanted to get my hands dirty with this to begin with! You toyed with a grown man turning him into your daughter! That’s some fucked up shit! This is the exact reason why I left you in the first place!”

“John I-”

CREAK

“Mommy please don’t fight with daddy, I promise I’ll be good,” Bee said, appearing in the doorway.

“It’s alright sweetheart, mommy and daddy weren’t fighting,” Zee said kneeling down to Bee’s height before taking her hand and walking her back into her room where she tucked the girls in together before turning off the tv and walking out of the room.

“Zee what the bloody hell was tha-”

“Quiet,” Zatanna said forcing Constantine to follow her down t the kitchen.

“Again, what the bloody hell was that!” Constantine yelled at her. “I’m not that kid's dad! What are you using your magic to convince her that I am?”

“No, I’m not,” Zatanna said to him. “Bee has the habit of sleepwalking every few nights and started to have memories of when she was a child of the Wayne family. It’s best just to go along with it until you get her back bedroom.”

“These are some of the bloody side effects that I tried to warn you about,” Constantine said to her. “That brat’s mind is at the climax now. Any day now she will forget who she once was altogether and be nothing more than your daughter. Congrats, you fucking got what you wanted on both accounts.”

“Excuse me? Zatanna said feeling attacked by Constantine’s words.

“You heard me, both you and the League got what you wanted. You got yourself a beautiful daughter to replace that empty hole left by your father when he became Dr, Fate, and the League got rid of their greatest threat by using your grief to trick you into doing their dirty work.”

“What are you talking about?” Zatanna asked him.

“Don’t tell me that you never figured it out, love?” Constantine asked, starting to feel sorrier for her. “What the League feared most more than the Legion of Doom, The Light, and even Darkside, was Batman. More specifically a Batman that they couldn’t control.”

“You know despite having no powers that man had ways to kill each and every one of them. He even had a file on you and one even on me. He had a file to kill anyone that he saw as a threat. Hell, he even has one about himself. That man was nothing if prepared. Though most of the League didn’t agree with this. Your idea to turn him into your daughter was their ticket to getting rid of him. Zee they used you.”

“No, it can’t be,” Zatanna said back in shock.

“But it is love,” Constantine said back to her. “Now if you wouldn’t mind I would like to bum on your couch for the night. I think that I might have a way to fix this mess, but the three of them will need to be awake for it to work.”

“Are you sure that it will work?” Zatanna asked knowing that her daughter was at risk the longer she had the ability to grant others magical powers.

“It’ll be fine Love, have I ever steered you wrong before?” Constantine asked laying down on the couch and passing out. Leaving Zatanna to her thoughts.

Did the League really use her to get rid of Batman? What was going to happen to her precious daughter? Zatanna cried herself to sleep, knowing that her greed had cost a man his freedom. Turning her into her child was never about helping him, it was just so that she could satisfy her greed.
