her blood was sweet, he could taste all of the intoxicating flavors, hopes, pleasures, all of her emotions, it was the best blood he'd ever tasted, the after taste was bittersweet, it was as if drinking the most delicious mead in the world
in that moment, nothing existed, only her and him, in that moment he knew, in his deepest and darkest of places that he had found an addiction, he would not let her escape his clutches, she would be his thrall and his toy, so he could access her blood forever,
No
he could not let that happen
he could not do this to someone
a human part had risen in the consciousness of the beast, he did not want her as a subordinate, watching her memories, he felt something.... familiarity, he could see the loneliness that she felt , he watched as her mother died from cancer, as her father years later abandoned her and his life to the avatar of fate to save her, watched how— even though with friends and mentors supporting her—deep down, she still felt alone, how deep down she felt it was her fault, if she did not wear that helmet maybe another way could've been found, he felt them a bit like his own scars aching with past regret, at the beast's displeasure, the human sent another pulse
Drink, please
you're immune
please if you don't drink you'll become a thrall
the pulse was weak but desperate, he feared it might not have arrived, the beast smiled, again the felt his instincts flare, the thirst augment,
but then he felt it, jaws biting neck, he smiled inwardly, he always had the last laugh, even against himself

As Zatanna bit her saviors neck, she was hooked, the smell and taste of his blood was sour with a vinegar-like burn, she could taste them too his hopes and dreams, even his memories, while mostly hidden, surely by a magic of his, something slipped up,
she found herself in a battlefield, it wasn't that of earth, it was in hell, she deduced, the clouds were red, it was hot, she could hear damned souls screaming in the distance, piles and piles of bodies, demons, armors , shields and swords lay the ground
she walked, she did not know how much, the massacre was for kilometers and kilometers, then she sees him, fighting high in the sky, white hair and red wings, he was fighting a red dragon head that seemed bigger than the horizon itself,
while his hair and wings looked different, she could feel it, she was watching him, she was admiring her Valo—
hers? Valor?
how had she known his name?
where did that possessiveness come from?
a sensation of infatuation pervaded her mind
she was his now,
was he?
"Ehy! stay away from Zatanna you piece of shit!" she was taken back to the real world, and with teeth still sunk Valor's looked to the source of the voice, Connor or super boy, with a morning star in hand had killed away part of the horde surrounding him and was coming toward them weapon at the ready, where had he taken it from?, she asked herself impatiently, she was feeling pretty annoyed now,
she knew that her husb—husband? get a grip, the first guy that sucks your blood is your husband now?, she told herself, anyway, she knew that Valor was too distracted to act, so she lifted her hand up in the air and with wave of it, sent Connor flying away at the wall, with a mental message from her, 'stay in your lane and kill demons' they boy now should not interfere
_________________________________________________________________________________________
after a couple of minutes of sucking, the world snapped back into focus.
The swarm was still there. The stench of sulfur and iron still clung to the air. Glavor's chant shook the pavement, the second rift yawning wider. But the two of them… they were not the same.
Valor staggered back first, wiping blood from his mouth with the back of his hand. His wounds had closed, skin knitting with infernal speed. His wings stretched wider, feathers burning with red fire.

Valor sighed in relief
"Ehi what is that" says the girl, as Valor looks up, he really sees the girl that saved his life, and feels a connection, one deep in his soul, he narrowed his eyes a hint of panic in them
"What is what?" he says, not meaning it
Now it's the girls turn to narrow her eyes, feeling the deceit, "That blue screen in front of you", at this she points her finger at it,
fuck, she should not see it shouldn't she
"hum, huh, it's a thing, a spell really, that i made when i was younger to track my strength, a simple spell" simple might be one of the biggest exaggerations, but he was trying to play it cool , obviously he omitted the part where no one should see it apart from him, strangely he did not mind that she was able to see it,
i fucked up
he already guessed the <
[Symbiotic Pact]
Fuck, his "Father" would not make him see the end of it, wouldn't she
hoping to nullify the Pact that shouldn't have happened "hum did... did you, hum"
"know the pact was a marriage contract yes dear" she said matter of factly, "and if i remember correctly if i did this the promise was that you'll tear our enemies apart dear"
while her tone was deadpan he could feel the doubt, the confusion, the lust, he was not the only one dazed by this situation, although he had to admit it, this girl could keep it together better than him,
that's when he really started to feel the brief connection that seemed before, was more than he could've ever imagine
