doctor strange, zatanna

Who: Zee and the Soft Taco Supreme.. I mean Stephen Strange
What: Dinner and tantra
When: tonight
Where: A place in Italy and then his place
Warnings: Possible R rated for being naked, maybe some petting :P

It was time for the dinner that Zee was looking so much forward to. Ever since their little outing at Taco Bell and then their discussion the other night, she'd been more looking forward to it then she thought she'd been. It helped that she couldn't figure him out. He was like Bruce sort of, at least in the very stoic-keeping-your-feelings-to-yourself kind of way. She supposed that was why she wanted to get to know him, to see if she could actually figure him out. It was probably going to be impossible.

However the possibility of having lots of good dinners with him and teaching him tantra was more then going to make up for it if she couldn't figure him out. So she waited for him to pick her up at her place this time, trying not to dress too inappropriately. Tonight would be fun if nothing else.

He still couldn't believe the plans they'd made for after dinner, that he was letting her in enough to take part in the tantra lessons and on top of his sanctum as well. A place he didn't let people visit. But he found himself looking forward to this as well mostly on a quest for knowledge level. She'd piqued his curiosity enough that he wondered if he could pull this off without the use of magic.

When Stephen went out on dates, his attire wasn't much more formal than what he normally wore aside from the addition of a dinner jacket and his hair combed and slicked back. He was just a little bit too stuck in his old ways to change his style unless someone really pushed for it, but this was Doctor Strange who no one could really predict. He used his teleportation to reach her place in a timely manner and knocked on her door, his arms then crossed behind his back as he waited.

No one could predict except that he would always wear the same kinds of things and would generally always be a little stuffy. Not that Zee thought something like that. She was wearing a dress, much unlike her time at Taco Bell. No one could say that she wasn't one for the occasion. When the door knocked, she ran her hand through her hair and then went to go answer it.

She smiled when she saw him, "Hey sugarpop.." she greeted. The soft taco pet names could wait until later that evening. She barely knew where they were going, except to Italy. "How are you? Did you miss me terribly since Taco Bell?"

Stephen smirked as she opened the door, taking a moment to look her up and down and take in the image of her all dolled up for him. He'd already had the place in mind in Italy he was taking her. One where he knew the family personally so that they could have the place all to themselves until as late as they wanted. "That I did," he said as he leaned in and placed a light kiss to her cheek in greeting. "You look wonderful." And very edible, but he didn't add that last bit. "I bet you've been thinking about getting my clothes off since our conversation," he teased her, though he didn't know if she had or not.

"All ready to go?" he asked as he'd begun to trace the outlines of symbols in the air to get them ready for teleportation.

It was amusing that he was so happy to see her, and that he was actually flirting. "Good, my little soft taco supreme, it's entirely possible that I have been, but I guess you'll never know unless you go poking around in there, and that's a no no.." she pressed her hand lightly against his chest. "At least until we eat, then it's possible that all of my brain and everything else will be quite open.." she said with a smirk. Then she kissed his cheek in return and backed off a little.

"Oh yes, one second.." she grabbed up her purse and went back to him. "Ah so you're a drawer with your fingers huh? Teleportation holes? Nifty.. I'm impressed.." a little impressed. She thought her way was more fun. Unless going through this way was going to make her horny, then his way would win.

"With the right combination of good food and wine, I'm sure that both of us will have a little less inhibitions." This time a statement about being open wasn't lost on him, and all of her little quirks at flirting with him weren't going over his head. It wasn't that he couldn't pick up on such cues. Sometimes, Stephen just decided not to acknowledge them for sake of something getting out of hand.

"Yes, I perform almost all of my acts through hand motions of some sort. I've always been very good with them." Which that wasn't really a line to bait her with. That was what he'd been renown for when he'd been a surgeon before he'd taken up his sorcerer mantle. He'd finished tracing the runes in the air, and small rings glowed green in front of them, then widened into larger ones for them to walk through. He held out his hand for her to take so he could lead her to their destination on the other side.

"I wasn't sure I had any of those in the first place," she said, matching the smirk on his face. "Let's just hope I can get you to open up a bit more.." she had this desperate urge to tease him, so she reached up and ran her finger under his chin, almost tickling a bit. "You're adorable.." which was true, he was adorable with how smug he was. Especially when she stopped giving him grief and just let it amuse her instead.

Her eyebrows went up a bit, "Yeah I bet.." she murmured. "Mine come from voice commands, which was more of my dad's thing.. he always thought it was fun. I just.. kept it up." she shrugged a little. She put her hand into his and was lead through the portal to Italy. Zee was trying to remember the last time she'd been to Italy, and couldn't.

The slight scratching underneath his chin made him smile, mainly because of the small amount of affection the gesture held in it, which he didn't seem to mind. It wasn't as if he cared if he was touched, but he had to warm up to the person, which obviously he had with Zatanna. "We all have a few inhibitions, something you just won't do." Not that he'd tell her any of his.

"I have plenty of verbal ones, but either way, I end up having to inscribe runes in the air." He spoke while they passed into the portal, which looked like they were walking through some plane void of anything but themselves. Another portal opened and when they walked through, they would be in the center of Florence where it was very late at night there. But the owners of the bistro knew he was coming, and since it was a Saturday night, they'd only just closed an hour or so before, but stuck around for the two of them. "Setting the atmosphere and connecting with your partner are key to this tantra thing correct? I thought nothing better than sharing a meal alone in romantic Firenze would work."

She had to think for a moment, of something she wouldn't do. "Um.. dogs? I .. won't do dogs.." she offered, shrugging a shoulder. That was really the only thing she could think of. John had opened her up to a wide variety of things. Just not dogs. She licked her lips, but then just shook her head. "No dogs. That's about it."

The portal seemed vaguely familiar to how she got from place to place so it was nothing new to her. She didn't expect it to be so late but she guessed she hadn't really thought about the time difference. "Are places going to be open this late at night?" she asked, looking around. Oh right, the tantra. "Yes.. those are both very key things.. connection in all things."

That was the last thing that'd crossed his mind to do with her, and he gave her a wide-eyed expression, surprised she'd even mentioned that. He didn't even have words for that, so he didn't offer any sort of opinion on that. "Right. No dogs." And left it at that.

"They will be open for us," he answered, his hand never leaving hers even after they'd stepped through the portal. The place appeared dim on the inside, but it was just an illusion to keep people away that they were closed to the public right now. Stephen knocked on the door of the bistro and waved as he saw an elderly Italian man unlock it and usher them inside. He'd been expecting them, and inside, Zatanna would have seen a table especially set up in the back with candles and place settings all ready for the two of them. "Old friend. I aided him a long time ago."

A little amused because he had looked so surprised, she kissed his cheek again. "Open for us? Wow.. you've really got connections don't you, my little soft taco supreme?" she really liked calling him that for some reason. Following him up to the door, she went inside with him, and her eyebrows lifted up. "I'll say it again, wow.. that's mighty impressive. And I don't even mean just getting a place to stay open.."

It had been quite some time since anyone had been this romantic with her, though she still wasn't sure if that was really his goal. She sat down in one of the chairs, "I have to admit, this is pretty swank having a place all to ourselves."

He was getting used to the pet name now, as much as it had irked him at first. An all powerful sorcerer reduced to the name of an Americanized Mexican food. It was just a little degrading until he didn't care anymore. Now it was something only she would be allowed to say and not in front of others. He pulled out her chair for her and waited for her to sit before sliding it underneath and then took his own seat after he shed his jacket. "It's supposed to be a date. Shouldn't I make every effort to make this romantic?"

The owner's wife stepped out of the kitchen with two menus while her husband brought out a bottle of their most expensive vintage for the two of them. The couple were very sweet and attentive, taking their order and what not.

It wasn't like she was going to call him that to other people. It wasn't degrading, it was cute. Besides, he could totally come up with a name for her. Though she didn't really know any other nicknames besides Zee any way. "I guess so, I just am not used to guys actually being romantic. Most of their idea of romantic is taking me to a carnival and getting me a chili dog.. Which.. sometimes is fine but still.. it's definitely not this."

Taking the menu from the woman, she smiled and thanked her and then looked through to see what she wanted. As the wine was poured, she gave her what she wanted to eat and handed back the menu. "Let's hope this is better then Taco Bell, hm?"

"It will make Taco Bell seem like the lowest rated cafeteria food you've ever eaten. This is a family business started in the thirties, just getting off the ground when I was still a boy. I discovered it in the sixties when he was still a younger man," indicating the husband. "I've watched his family prosper ever since." He'd eaten there often enough that they knew Stephen's favorite dish, so he simply handed the menu over to her and smiled.

"Some men do not understand the concept of romance, but my idea and theirs are probably much different. I'm very old-fashioned. Dinner, dancing, spending time with the other is my idea."
