(Upload) Ficlet: Debauchery
Some time ago, I pitched in in katetetigress JL Party, and wrote a scene for two of my favorite magic users. I was telling victoria_wayne that my favorite corner of the DCU is the magic users corner, and since their corner is just right next to the escape artist and con men alley, I guess I should post this little bit. I have a crazy bunny of Bruce/Clark, Bruce/Jason, Jason/Zatanna that it's absurd and I can't find a decent way to write, but I might rework it and make it part of the Clark/Bruce+Jason/John series that I have yet to tackle. I haven't been writing much, but I hope that will change once I settle into the school routine again.
This is unbetaed. And short.

Summary: Zatanna meets Jason for the first time in a party, and they... mingle.
Debauchery
The brunette walked up to the make shift bar. She put a bit of an extra effort in her hip sway, her eyes focused on the redhead. She had heard a lot about him, but hadn’t had a chance to meet him. The way you could work inside the same reduced circles and yet never meet everyone was one of those mysteries of the universe.
It wasn’t like the hero business and the magic business had that many players, but the man was rather elusive.
She stood in front of him, a hand on her hip, and tipped her hat towards him in a playful manner. “Playing bartender, Mr. Blood?”
The man gave her a thorough look that made Zatanna feel like he wasn’t really checking her out, but seeing into her soul. The worst part was that he was, most likely, doing just that.
“Would you like to taste of Debauchery, my dear?” Jason finally said with a mischievous grin.
Zee raised an eyebrow, but took the taunt in a stride. “If you’re the one doing it, I’ll take a shot.”
Jason actually laughed, and Zatanna felt that she was up for a good party. What better way to spend the night than to get trashed with a demon among heroes?
Jason took a cocktail shaker and filled it with ice. “One part vodka, two parts amaretto and four parts orange juice, and a splash of lemon vodka. It isn’t exactly debauchery, but it’s quite good,” Jason narrated as he prepared the drink. He poured her a glass, and poured another for himself.
Zee took the drink and smiled. “Thank you,” she said, and sipped the drink. It was tangy and had a light burn to it. “I would have expected debauchery to burn a bit more,” she joked.
“It depends, dear. I guess there’s something for everyone’s tastes.”
