hey! you've reached Jack Frost!

I'll return it as soon as I can! Prank callers will be snowballed-- kidding!"

[...oh! It just went to show how out of it she still was, that she misinterpreted. Since he had abruptly brought Tony up the way he had, she'd assumed...]

[But no, this was good. He was still thinking of others, but he very much wasn't avoiding her attention, either. Her expression softened, and to her faint surprise, she realized she had to resist the urge to kiss his cheek for being such a wonderful person as always.]


Who wouldn't want your company? You are the coolest kid on the block, you know.

And speaking of...want to head into the living room? We can sit on the couch, and you can read to me.

[Baby steps. So long as those steps led her over to the couch, where she made herself comfortable on one side of the cushions, she could accept their unusually slow pace.]

As long as it's not written in Russian, I think I'll be fine.

[She recognized the name the moment her eyes fell upon it, and smiled in nostalgia as she initially scanned over the page. It was all there. Her symbols. Her speech patterns. Even some of her habits.]

I never realized you two were so well acquainted. [She shifted slightly in her seat to get a better vantage point of the shared page. Along the way, her arms lightly brushed against Jack's, but with the pendant secured on her neck, she barely felt it.] If I'd've known, we could have hung out more together.

She and I used to go on girldates all the time. It was fun.

I'm pretty sure you could make friends with almost anybody, Jack.

[Give or take.]

[...it was one of the reasons why all these disappearances were hitting him so hard, she figured. He had so many more faces to lose.]

[She fell silent at that, particular as the next page came upon a name that...well, she hadn't known Finnick. Not personally. But she knew what the guy had meant to Jack, if his continued loyalty to the fish shop were any indication.]

[For once, she had no comments to make. It wasn't her place right then. Sure, she had helped Jack out at the shop once or twice...but this memory was all his. He could choose to say something, or remain quiet until he turned to the next name.]

It's important to you. That's what matters.

[Her eyes flickered over the page for a moment before recognition set in.]

...I remember her. We danced together at one of the first formal balls I went to here. She was...sweet.

[Translation: they may have play flirted a little]

[A similar thought was running through her mind. Zatanna tended to prefer living in the present, not the past. But what Jack was doing...taking the time to remember...she was starting to understand.]

Sure.

Only if you want to, of course, but...I kind of like this.

Alright.

[It was a good thing she had previously made the deal with the store regarding payment, because right then, she'd forgotten completely that she wanted the meal to be on her. Her eyes remained focused on the book, even as Jack got up and headed for the door. continuing to absently scroll through the pages while taking in each and every name. Some, she recognized. Some were so foreign to her she had to wonder if their paths had ever crossed.]

[By the time he returned, however, he would find her staring down at a page she had only just turned to, and a name there was no way she would be able to forget.]

[Dick Grayson]

[She waited for the pain to come. The sadness.]

[It never did.]

[True, there was the slightest ping in her heart as she thought of the boy. The part where Jack briefly mentioned them being together in his writing. She missed him. Missed his face. His laugh. The way he made her feel in those (often rare) moments when they were able to just be themselves around each other. Especially after she Found Out.]

[But, to her surprise...she was okay. After a moment of scanning what Jack wrote, she even smiled. Not a fake mask put on for his sake, but a look of genuine amusement.]


I can just imagine the look on his face if he ever saw this.

[On the one hand, there were Secrets, and secrets behind the secrets. With a start, Zatanna realized that, as relatively little as Jack had written--Dick's entry was roughly the size of Kara's--there wasn't much more she would have been able to make public herself.]

[But on the other hand...]


Knowing him, he'd either just stand there, gloating, or try to find some way to hack the book so he could add his own signature touch. Which may or may not involve a few jokes and exaggerations of his accomplishments here.

[One of the downsides of having so much experiencing wearing a smiling mask in the face of contrasting emotions. ...and having somebody know her well enough to know that's exactly what she would do in a situation like this.]

So we'd skip to the highlights. Or just add a footnote at the bottom that says "see: English Dictionary"

[She smiled when he laughed, relaxing a little more. With everything, it felt good to hear him laugh again. He needed just as much as she did.]

Are you sure? This is your project, Jack.

[The implication may or may not have been received.]

[Either way, there would be no mistaking the look of pure, serene happiness as she glanced up at him. Their eyes locking for a fleeting moment before she nodded, shifting her weight a bit so that they could continue sharing the book.]


It's a good thing we ordered food, then. This might take a while.

[More than a single afternoon together, of course. If that's what he wanted.]

Just say the word, and I'll add in my two cents. Free of charge, even.
