Dc: The Brother of Superman

"If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you". (Nietzsche) ______________________________________________

It has been a week since I acquired the skill [soul sight], and oh boy, it has been an experience.

Seeing the supernatural, this clearly is bad for my heart, spirits, ghosts in my room, and demon bearers on the streets. It is a logistics nightmare.

I don't know the rules of this world well, so I guess I will need to visit someone who knows them, and what better than Giovanni Zatara?

 ************

I searched for my target, the Magic Show of Zatara; it was not hard to find. He had a few days booked in some Seattle theaters.

I took a plane immediately there, and now I'm in a cab going to his show.

"We're here, sir."

"Thank you; keep the change."

"Thank you, sir."

Exiting the cab, I approach the entrance of the theater.

"Tickets, sir" 

"Here"

I handed out my tickets that I had previously booked. When you have money, everything becomes easy.

I entered the theater and looked for my seat. After a few excuses and coming through, I finally reached my seat.

After a couple of minutes of waiting for everyone to take their seat, the show started.

At the beginning, it was a normal magic show, but the more people watch, the more interesting it becomes.

 "Ohhh...."

 "Wow.." 

*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*

I could see traces of magic all over the act, and he combined it with regular showmanship.

"Now, with the help of my beautiful assistant, I will make this elephant disappear."

On stage, a woman appeared; she had black hair, white skin, and blue eyes.

{So that's Zatanna}

 *********** 

After the show, everyone got up to exit the venue, but I was b-lining to the backstage, hoping to catch my elusive master.

"Are you leaving, Bruce?"

"Yes, sorry for only telling you, master."

"Did you tell Zatanna?"

"Not yet; I will tell her tonight."

(sigh) "I wish you the best, son."

"Thank you for everything." With a bow, Bruce left the door to the left of the theater.

"Are you done spying?"

"Sorry, I didn't want to interrupt," I came out of the red curtain that I was hiding.

"Do I know you, son?"

"No, sir, but I'm in a situation where I required your help."

I resumed my situation with Master Zatara, and luckily he invited me to his home. He just magically packed his stuff and teleported us there.

After a couple of hours of chatting about myself, I heard a door get open, and Zatanna bolted to her room.

(sigh) "Silly child."

...." 

(Cough)

"I understand your situation, and I can help you, but there's no free lunch in this world, son, so you will work for me in the meantime."

 "Gladly" 

"Good" 

*********

It has been a year since I started working as an assistant for Zatara. The job was easy enough—just move things here and there.

What was awkward were my interactions with his daughter Zatanna; due to her breakup with Bruce, she no longer interacts much with the opposite sex.

"Good morning" 

....morning"

{Damn you, Bruce}

*******

As expected of an old hero, this old man had an impressive amount of knowledge in his head, and right now, I'm learning his ways in the supernatural world.

"What will you do if a demon tries to enter our dimensions?"

"Identify the ritual to gain a name and then banish him back where he belongs."

"Correct, most people only focus on the demon and not on the ritual that was performed to summon him."

"I must say, that memory of yours is enviable."

 "Ha..ha..ha sometimes" 

"Isaac" 

"Yes, master Zatara?"

"What do you think of my daughter?"

 {Hmm?} 

"She is a capable young woman, sir."

(Ha..ha..ha) 

"I know that."

[Generating Dungeon Keys... Complete]

[Necropolis (Expert LVL 35–45)] 10,000

[Ivory Tower (Expert Level 45–50)] 15,000

[Invasion (Expert Level 50–60)] 20,000 

I acquired my next dungeon key, but I'm still learning with Master Zatara; I don't think I will challenge this dungeon yet.

The reason is my new daily and weekly tasks.

[Hunt a stray ghost. 0/1]

[Exorcise a demon host... 0/5]

I'm a ghost hunter and an exorcist now. Master Zatara didn't approve at first, but with time, I demonstrate maturity and power that, in the end, he didn't have other options, so he agreed.

•Curse you, exorcist!•

"Yeah, yeah, just go already."

[Daemon anima, quae faciem innocentem abscondis, magicae huius te eiecit de loco isto]

(Demon soul that hides behind an innocent's face, this one's magic casts you out of this place.)

 •Aaaarrggghh!!•

 *Thud* *Crash* 

*Huuff* 

"Everything's alright now; please pick up your husband; he is safe now." I pointed out to the man that it's on the floor. I heard a *click* sound, and a mature woman entered the room crying.

"Thank you, thank you." *sobbing*

"Yeah," I said, exiting the room that I was in. For a while now, I have been exorcising people for free, and I didn't think there were that many cases all over the country, but there were.

Master Zatara warned me that this job will be exhausting due to humans always falling for temptation. But for me, they are experience points, so it's a quid pro quo.

~Are you okay, master?~

{Yeah, I'm good, Nayru}

[Arcane Creature] 

[Nayru (Pixie)] 

[Level: 10]

 Skills: [Dia] [Zio(Light Bolt)] [Companion] 

She has been growing just fine, and apparently she gains skills the more she levels up.

More importantly, she has an innate condition that allows her to be invisible to anyone she doesn't want to see.

{What do you say, Nayru, if we took the afternoon off}

~Yeah, I want ice cream.~

{Yeah, sounds good}

 ********** 

"Good evening, Miss Zatanna."

"Good evening, Isaac."

Finally, after a year and a half, we speak more to each other. Although she is older than me by a few years, we found topics to speak about with each other. It's a shame that she's the savior of that bastard, Constantine.

"Isaac ..." 

"Yeah?"

"Are you listening?"

"Yes, your solo debut show is tonight in San Francisco."

"That's right, thanks to you, my father finally allowed me to perform by myself."

"Well, he already trusts you, but he is a father, so he worries a little too much."

"Again, thank you," and then she planted a kiss on my cheek.

*Blush*

 "Your welcome..." 

*Cough* 

"Father!?" 

"Master!?"

"Go get ready, Zatanna."

 "Yes... Dad"

Like that, I was alone with Master Zatara.

 *Smiled* 

"Ahm....sorry?" 

"For what?"

 "Breathing?"

"Ha, ha....ha..ha" He laughed to my face.
