Conversations (Zatanna)
Dinah hadn't meant to put off talking to Zatanna about resigning from the League. She really hadn't. However, it was a conversation that she wasn't looking forward to. She was a little bit worried that Zatanna would try to talk her out of it, and perhaps a bit worried that she wouldn't.

She knew it was the right decision, but it still hurt to make it all the same.

She had brought a peace offering of Chinese food and wine and was hoping for a bit of time with her friend on top of the unhappy conversation that they would have to have.

She'd told her friend that she was coming and now she knocked on the door to Shadowcrest and tried to ignore the feeling that the house was watching her with interest.

The door was whipped open and Zee reached out to grab Dinah's arm and dragged her in. "Ohmygodsgetinhere!" She didn't sound panicked or like she was under attack. This was the 'I've got hot gossip' voice.

Zee had left Shadowcrest to let Jack sleep. A look through his cell phone and revealed a list of things that needed Jack's attention. Some of them she couldn't have done because it required a mayoral touch, but some of them she could and she spent the time Jack was sleeping doing what she could. By the time she got back he had been awake and gone, and she had returned his cell phone to his office as only she could.

Then she'd had a bit of a meltdown.

	Dinah was distracted from her reason for visiting by the excitement in Zatanna's voice. She didn't fight being pulled into the house and instead waited for her friend to get the door closed behind them. She held up the Chinese food and wine and waved them at the mystic. "Hungry?"

	"Yes, but.." she grabbed the wine from Dinah then started pushing her friend towards the kitchen. They'd spent many a time in that kitchen talking about everything and everyone. This was going to be another one of those times. "Wine first. Go, already! I need to tell you something." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	In spite of her low spirits, Dinah did laugh. She hurried into the kitchen and found a corkscrew to open the wine. She waited for Zatanna to get out the glasses. "I need to tell you something too," she said. "But you go first." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Damn right me first!" She set the bottle on the table and went to the cabinets to get the wine glasses. They were the cheap ones with the kittens on them that she saved for just these kinds of conversations.

"I ran into Jack. And didn't punch him." She chuckled as she put the glasses on the table as well. "He actually kept me from cracking my skull on the pavement."

	"What about it?" Zee took a seat and opened up the nummy fried crab stuff. "This could be a good thing. If Jack wants us to work with the City we won't be considered criminals anymore, and I know I for one would like to not have to dodge cops if the streets go back to jumping around."

	Dinah nodded her agreement. It could be a very good thing. She just... couldn't be a part of it. "I'm resigning," she forced herself to blurt out. "From the League. I just... I have no business being a part of it right now." She took another healthy drink of the wine and tried not to cringe as she anticipated the reaction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Everything in Zee's head came screeching to a halt and fell over the cliff. She stared at Dinah with her mouth parted in open shock. "...what?" No. No, no, no! Damn it! "Look if this is about Dean..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dinah had just taken a sip of her wine and almost choked on it. When she managed to start breathing again, she fixed Zee with a surprised stare. "I'm sorry, hiding away with who?" Oh, she'd heard all right, but she was just... She shook her head. "Have you been talking to Ollie? Because you two seem to be jumping to the same conclusions." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
