To be honest, I didn't really know her. She's much older than me and already a full-fledged member of the Justice League. I've seen one of her shows with my friends, but we never knew each other personally.
Yeah. I can't even begin to imagine what she must be going through right now. [And he hopes that he never has too. Man, some days this job can really suck.]
That's good. Hopefully that's the last time we have to deal with something like that.
[ He grins] Though, you might wanna brush up on your nursery rhymes just in case it isn't, or for if you ever decide to get into the babysitting business. Not that your rendition of 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' wasn't superb and all, but just think of how much better it would be with the right words.
[Okay, he can't actually see Artemis doing the babysitter thing on a regular basis, but she really was good with the kids.]
[Until the truth about her family comes out anyway and then an all new dad problem will be there to deal with. Yipee. Artemis is so excited by that idea. Only... not really.]
Nursery rhymes are stupid, and I'm not doing that ever again.
[It's not like she had access to a bunch of childish things growing up. It's a wonder she and her sister even had Alice.]
[And Roy might even be around when everything comes out! Fun times, right?]
Aw, come on, Artemis. You really shouldn't be so quick to dismiss the babysitting idea. The kids seemed to enjoy it and I'm sure you could get M'gann to help if you need it.
Plus, just think about all the perks that come with the gig! You can raid other people's fridges, make some money, and after the munchkins go to bed you can invite that special someone over for some quality alone time. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.
How about I just let M'gann do it? Watching kids seems like something that she'd really be into since she's got such a big family back on Mars.
[She frowns and then promptly rolls her eyes.]
I have a fridge at home. It's just fine. [And the next part is mumbled and she kind of hopes he won't be able to make it out clearly.] Not like I have anyone special anyway.
Of course you have a fridge at home, but this is free food we're talking about here. [He lets out a sigh because he really shouldn't have to explain that part.] And if you're going to leave it to M'gann by herself then it's only right that I offer to help her out.
You wanna repeat that last part? I, uh, didn't quite catch it.
[He was too busy thinking about free food and alone time with M'gann. Mostly about the free food though.]
[If it were possible she'd totally offer her dad up in place of Z's dad, but somehow that deal probably wouldn't sit well with Fate. Or anyone else either since they don't know who her father is yet.]
You'll do okay. We take care of our own.
[Because sorry isn't a word that sits well with her and she's not the sort to give flowery speeches either. All things Zatanna should know too well by now.]
[She is sorry though, but it goes unspoken. Z's a pro she can hear it anyway Artemis is sure.]

You've seen her show? What show?

So, um, was everything okay when you went home?

[She falls silent because it's not like she can actually admit that she'd be completely okay with Dr. Fate taking over her dad permanently.]
[Oh wait he's still talking.]
What? Oh yeah. It was... home-like. The usual.
