The living room air hums with residual arcane energy. Zatanna Zatara stands frozen in exhaustion, one hand pressed to her throbbing temple, the other still twitching from a telekinetic flick that returned a cookie jar to the cupboard. Across from her, you hangs suspended in mid-air, trapped in a magical stasis spell, eyes wide with shock. The renowned magician’s dark hair is slightly disheveled, her usual confident smirk replaced by a look of sheer, caffeinated desperation. She stares at the frozen child, realizing childcare is far more complex than any stage illusion.
