Why would I do that? I work in an Ice Cream...

[She trails off, and suddenly, the joke is over. Her face darkens.]

Wait...she did something to you, didn't she? [The other "her"]

[imaginate]

What? No! She'd never. [She'd only done it to supervillains... and Bruce.]

[backwordscompatible]

Then why would you even think I would?

The worst I've ever done was a little truth spell. And that was after Miss Martian's telepathy failed.

[imaginate]

Even that--[... wow well done Rayner, he mutters internally. Now you freaked her out.

He pinches the bridge of his nose - or he would, if the mask wasn't in the way.]

Sorry. I didn't mean to worry you. I just don't deal well with people doing that to me. [The ring reacts to his subconscious as well, and Kyle knows his anger.]

[backwordscompatible]

[She falls silent, leaning back a little. Expression neutral. Voice, noticeably softer than before.]

I wouldn't.

Not without a good reason.

[imaginate]

[The barest of nods, and a smile works its way back to his face, like it never left.] If you do want me to buy you ice cream every day, you only need to ask.

[backwordscompatible]

[After the not-so-subtle implications of what just occured, it takes Zatanna a little longer for hers to return.]

Like I started to say before: I already work in an ice cream store.

...though I guess that didn't stop Dick, now that I think about it.

[imaginate]

Because you're worth it. [A wink. Lightening tense situations with humor is what Kyle does.]

[backwordscompatible]

[Okay, she'll crack a little at that.]

You sound like a shampoo commercial, you realize.

[imaginate]

The last time I tried that someone said I sounded like a chocolate ad. Must be losing my touch.

[backwordscompatible]

Now you're just making me hungry.

[You said the "c" word, Kyle.]

[imaginate]

Is there actually any chocolate here?

[backwordscompatible]

["Is there actually any chocolate here?" Really, now? Never doubt a teen girl's ability to locate a source of chocolate.]

Supergirl and I made it our first mission together to find out.

It was a great success.

[imaginate]

[Kyle was counting on that.] So is there a chain or just the one shop?

[backwordscompatible]

There's one shop that specializes, but I've seen a few others carry chocolate-flavored whatever it is they serve here.

Come to think of it, I'm surprised nobody's tried to make s'mores down by the bonfires yet.

[imaginate]

I'll go check them out. [Beat.] You know, when I get tired of being a walking pun.

[backwordscompatible]

[And they've come full circle.]

Good thing you know how to fly, then.

[imaginate]

I'll let you take this round. [Beat. More seriously:] Try not to go near the barrier into the water if you can help it. There's nothing appealing out there.

[backwordscompatible]

[Also seriously]

Yeah, tell me about it.

I've already been, and nothing short of a major emergency could get me to go back out there. It was beyond creepy.

[imaginate]

[He sighs.] Are you okay?

[backwordscompatible]

Yeah, I'm fine.

[Aside from being creeped out.]

It's just...there were bodies. Floating around. A lot of them.

[imaginate]

Yeah. [Kyle's going to be sleeping so well tonight.] I guess that's the Emperor's business too.

[backwordscompatible]

I tried asking a few of the locals if they knew anything. They said it was kedan tradition to bury their dead at sea.

[She gave a shrug, with an expression that said she definitely wasn't buying it. There was way more to the story than that, she was certain.]

[imaginate]

I don't buy it. I saw some that were definitely human. [As to how recent they were...]

[backwordscompatible]

[Her eyes widen; obviously, she hadn't.]

You did?
