Hello again! (Charlie)
Shadowcrest could supply her with anything she needed and some things she wanted, but one of the things it flat out refused to provide for her were shoes. Zatanna was all right with that since it meant participating in one of her favorite pasttimes. SHOPPING! As weird as the City was rumored to be, its shoe stores were amazing! It was a great way to kill an afternoon.

Coming out of the last store (she promised!) with her bags of leather treasures she spied a familiar face. Part of her thought she should creep off before he noticed, but most of her thought she should try to be friendly. Because that's gone so well with her here with anyone that wasn't Dinah. Oh well. If at first you don't succeed, try to humiliate yourself again and again.

She approached him with a small wave of shoe bags and a smile. "Hi, Charlie."

She has heard that line drawn in the sand many times. She knew there was no arguing against it, no trying to convince him to see their side. Why bother trying?

She smiled a little sadly and looked down at her coffee cup figuring this was the end of their conversation, until he started in on that ridiculous line of questions. It brought her head back up along with eyebrows then she started to giggle.

"I have no idea."

"Probably not something that comes up often in debriefings." Charlie smirked at the really bad joke.

"Police are concerned with vigilantes in places where the aliens, the powers, and everything the Justice League was built to fight don't exist because they don't exist. Vigilantes where I'm from which has none of the aliens, the powers and everything else usually don't allow the law to do its job. Or in those situations where the law is corrupt, the vigilantes don't know how to find justice without an unacceptable amount of collateral damage." He paused. "There really is no acceptable amount, just what we'll put up with for a resolution."

"Batman and Superman don't live in the world I policed in...until now. Now they're needed; here they're needed." Charlie shrugged. "Maybe there's a website for the tights."

She wasn't certain why he continued on with his point, but patience gave her the answer. She relaxed visibly and gave him a grateful smile. They would be able to work with Detective Crews apparently. That was a relief, and she will be happy to tell Dinah.

She chuckled with a wink and lifted her coffee. "Dub dub dub super suits dot com. Buy one get one free all this month."

Charlie was already okay with the idea of working with superheroes. Of course, he had recently found out that his partner had been asked to join the team, so he'd have to accept superheroes or find a new partner. He'd gotten used to Jennifer, become accustomed to her face and ways, and wasn't really in the mood to start with a new partner. He liked his partner just like she was.

"That would probably a good deal. I don't wear tights, so I guess I'm saved." He finished his coffee followed quickly by the last bite of his danish.

"Well, Ms. Zatara," she's started it with calling him detective. "I should probably be going."

	She chuckled with a sly grin and a wink. "But you would look charming in them." Another chuckle had her finishing off her pastry. "It was good to see you again, Charlie." Hey. They weren't talking business anymore so she dropped the detective stuff. "Come by the house some time when it isn't a noise complaint." (Reply to this) (Parent)
