The next day saw me out with Zee. We were planning to take a look at the sites to see if she could figure out more about the ritual. We weren't sure what it was for, but it was pretty obviously bad, or at least bad for us. As shitty as Gotham already was I doubted Drench's employer was planning a large scale magical green energy initiative. So we headed back down to a spot near the one I'd first found. Zee seemed excited to be out and about, nearly bouncing with enthusiasm as we headed down into the subway tunnels at the nearest entrance to the spot on the map.
Zee's cute little bomber jacket, tank top, and skinny jeans were too tight and revealing to be practical, but I assumed she had magic to compensate, and I wasn't going to complain about some eye candy. Still, I had to choke back a smile at the fact that she was dressed like a stripper version of Indiana Jones or something. I half expected a fedora and a whip. I was pretty sure I'd have enjoyed that image more.
Still, it was interesting seeing her scramble over downed pillar and squeeze through collapsed tunnel spaces. She'd cast some kind of detection spell to show us the way and she was right there with me, following it without slowing down. "You know, I wouldn't have pegged you as the type to get your hands dirty. Maybe I was jumping to conclusions but you just seem like such a..." I trailed off, thinking of a polite way to say it.
She stopped and turned to raise an eyebrow at me. She had a smudge of dirt on one cheek, and despite the ponytail had to blow a lock of hair from her face to stare me down. "A princess? Poor little rich girl? A delicate little debutante? Hardly. Contrary to most people's opinion, I know how the average person sees me. I come off delicate and feminine and they assume I can't handle myself. The eyes and hair don't help. I look like a china doll. Makes it hard to be taken seriously."
I could understand that. Despite knowing she was 'just one of the guys' I'd imagined Zee as the slutty party girl who would do shots with everyone but make a cute face after. We called them bro hoes in school, and finding out about her love of sucking dick kind of reinforced the image. Despite that she seemed like she could actually hang when we were out doing shit like this, which made me like her a bit more. Still, I wasn't going to say that out l0ud. I wasn't a fucking idiot. "No, just more...upper class. But not in a bad way."
She snickered at that. "You know the whole nice guy thing was a lot more convincing before you shoved your cock down my throat." I raised an eyebrow. "Ok, it wasn't. But you're cute and fun to spend time with and Barbara hates it, so I played along. But give me some credit. I've had this body for a long time. I can tell when a guy wants to fuck me. And your eyes are pretty much glued to my ass every time I turn around."
That was unexpected. "Does that mean I'm wasting my time then? Because if it helps I have fun spending time with you too, though I won't deny I've been interested in you sexually since we met. Does that ruin my shot or something?" She didn't sound bothered by it, but then again I didn't get these goody goody justice types at the best of times. This could be her version of letting me down easy.
She giggled at that. "Oh no I'm definitely going to let you fuck me." Or not. "I just figured we would have an easier time talking if you didn't have to put on the sweet supportive friend act. Not that I don't appreciate it, but it isn't necessary. Just like I don't need to pretend like guzzling your nut doesn't give me a dirty little thrill because you're dating Barbara. I mean don't get me wrong, I did like her when we first met, but honestly that petty bitch really gets on my nerves these days."
That surprised a laugh out of me. "Then...why pretend to be all heartbroken and wistful? Why not just tell her she's an asshole and sever all ties?" This was...interesting. I hadn't expected Zee to be playing the same kinds of games I was. Looking back I could see a bit of it in her behavior, see her playing to the crowd a bit, but she was clearly pretty good at it, since I hadn't caught on at the time.
She shrugged. "Politics. Our...friend group." I noticed she still didn't mention the League. "Is a bit factional. If I go full catfight with Barbara then other people who are close to her will be forced to pick a side. I end up pitting half of our circle of friends against me for nothing. This way though, it's just them sometimes giving her disappointed glances and poor little Zatanna is the trooper who grins and bears it while everyone else talks about how much they wish we would make nice."
That was...fuck that was spot on too. I actually stopped, staring at her in awe. She just gave me a saucy wink. "I was pretty positive you were playing me when you showed up at my show, but on the off chance you were the sweet supportive boyfriend you pretended to be I had to play my part, but you didn't even blink when convincing me to blow you. Game recognizes game you know? So I figured down here in the subterranean heart of the city is a good place to have an up front discussion about it. I mean, I also cast a few silencing spells as we walked, but in general this is a pretty secluded place to talk."
I was amazed, and weirdly kind of turned on. "So...what? You want me to help you usurp her position? Bad talk her to her friends? Support you when she's a bitch to make you look better? What's your endgame here telling me this?" I didn't even play dumb, I was just completely enthralled with hearing what she wanted. She was clearly a cutthroat bitch, and I was dying to see what she would say.
To my dismay she just looked confused. "What? No, I don't need you to do any of that. I'm in a good position. I just figured it might be nice to have someone I could actually be up front with. Most of my friends can be a bit conservative in their views. Hell, I've been feeling you out for a while, dropping little hints and flirting just to see what you were open to and willing to accept. I'm not saying I think you're a bad person or anything, just less...restrictive than most of the people I spend time with."
The disappointment there was strong. She would have been perfect as a tool to convince certain girls on the League to see things my way. Maybe use her to flip Dinah to my way of thinking, but in the end she wasn't really like me. Just manipulative and kind of slutty. But I could work with that. Manipulative and kind of slutty was a great place to start. The Brand would be obvious and way too blunt for changing someone's personality, but I could do it the slow way. I could corrupt Zatanna to my way of thinking, and she could convince some of the other girls.
We started walking again. "So, I guess with all this out in the open I have to ask. Was the think with Dick really a drunken mistake? Or were you just really turned on by the thought of getting one over on her?" I had the feeling it was a bit of both, but if I could get her to admit that it would be a good level to pull the next time I wanted her to do something morally questionable. Which I WOULD. Because I wanted to shape her into something...better.
Zee was the first person I'd met from the League who had the potential to be someone I would consider reasonable. Something about the idea of converting her to my way of thinking, of making her more like me, was so much better than any sexual conquest or ownership could be. Not to mention it would pay dividends in the future if I could get her to help me talk sense into Dinah.
She bit her lip. "It wasn't...like a plan or anything. We were watching a movie together, like we used to, and I shifted around to get comfy, and I felt him get hard against my ass. And I just felt...annoyed. He was my boyfriend. My first boyfriend. And she took him away from me. Sure she's smart and good at fighting, but she's so...plain. I have a better body, I'm prettier, I can do MAGIC, and he picked her over me. I didn't want him back or anything, I was over that a long time ago. I just wanted..." Her voice got a bit quiet, kind of ashamed. "I wanted to prove I could do it. That he would let me."
I knew it. I stepped over and stopped her, pulling her back and then lifting her chin so she could look at me. "Hey. No judgement. Just us down here. I don't mind it. Honestly it's kind of hot." She looked confused, and I very carefully worded the next part. "You broke the two of them up, and freed Barbie up for me, so I can hardly complain, I don't know who Dick is so I don't care much about his side of things but I got lucky. You did me a huge favor."
I had to walk a delicate line there. I wanted to praise her because doing what she wanted and not worrying about other people was good. I wanted her to do that more. But I also wanted her to feel like it hadn't gotten her what she wanted, namely me. She was going to be jealous about me being with Barbie and eager to earn my affection, and the combination should make her more open to crossing certain lines for me.
She looked conflicted about the whole thing, which was what I was aiming for in the first place, and she continued to be distracted as we arrived at the ritual site. She gave the runes a once over, but despite looking at them it was clear she was...distracted. She was clearly thinking more about me and what I'd said. Eventually she managed to focus, forcing herself to process the magic and really dig into how it worked. She cast spell after spell, trying to identify small bits of the runic script and doing calculations
Despite that, after a few minutes she shook her head. "Same thing I saw before. It's for changing leyline directions, but the spots are just...random. I can see the direction it's going from here but I'll need to actually study each ritual to make note of that before I can figure out what the purpose is." She sounded annoyed and frustrated. "That was a complete waste of time."
I stepped up behind her, grinning and pulled her against me reaching up to palm one of her fat tits. She moaned a bit and wiggled her ass back against me. "I wouldn't say a complete waste. After all, you used up so much power. Now I have to fill you back up. I believe someone mentioned something about definitely fucking me? Because we still need to test which hole absorbs that magic better, and I have two more to try out." I slipped a hand into her jeans relishing the feel of skin when noting her lack of panties. I slipped two fingers into her wet pussy and she moaned. Mental corruption aside, I wasn't an idiot. I was definitely going to use this pussy. Just a perk of being me.
