"Impressive, it's never easy for someone to make that kind of a change, especially for someone with darker magic".

"So you two are with the Teen Titans? That's so cool." Zatanna said from where she had been watching her father speak with the heroes.

Zatara looked at his daughter with concern, before addressing the couple: "So what makes you think that Mumbo will come after my show, and you still haven't apologized for coming in here without warning us."

"Oh, right, sorry! We didn't know how to contact you, and we've already checked all the other magical acts in the area with no sign of Mumbo Jumbo, so this was our last stop before we were going to meet back up with the other Titans." Wally explained.

"Hmm, well I could help you plan an ambush, lure him to my show so you and the other Titans can arrest him."

"What about your show, wouldn't it be bad for business if we let Mumbo attack your audience." Jinx inquired

"We could just cancel. We could tell the Casino that there's been an emergency and we have to cancel the show, but we keep it on the down-low so Mumbo still shows up, maybe even start a rumor that someone rich and important is going to be there, as an extra incentive." Zatanna suggested.

"That sounds good, but what happens when he shows up and finds an empty theatre?" Jinx countered

"That's easy, Dad and I can just use some illusions to make the audience look filled, you guys can even hide in the 'audience' to take him by surprise. He's going to be looking out for your teammates, especially after they were seen talking to the cops earlier," here Zatanna motioned to her phone, bringing up social media feeds showing photos and video of the main 5 Teen Titans speaking with the police and investigating the crime scene from Mumbo's last attack. "But he shouldn't be expecting you two, the others can hide backstage until it's time with the props."

"Absolutely not. I approve of your plan, but you are not staying to fight this villain. Not even to help me make an illusionary audience. You will be going home long before the Teen Titans get here. Besides, it's a school night." Zatara gave his daughter a look, getting an eye-roll in response.

"Aw, Dad! I wanted to meet the Titans! I've always wanted to meet Superheroes my age."

"Well you are meeting two now, that will have to be enough, for now, my dear. I'd rather you not be anywhere this battle. I shall call the ride service and have them bring you back to our hotel as soon as possible."

"Fine. But uh, before I go… Can I take a photo with you two? It'll be a nice souvenir of my first time meeting any heroes my age." Zatanna asked, looking nervous all of a sudden.

Jinx and Wally looked at each other questioningly. Wally's used to people asking for photographs, Jinx, however, has never been asked before. After a moment they silently agreed and Wally spoke: "I guess so, just let me change first." Wally was about to run to the nearest bathroom, but before he could leave his girlfriend's side Zatanna exclaimed "egnahC diK s'hsalF sehtolc ot sih mrofinu" and suddenly Wally found himself wearing his Kid Flash uniform rather than his civvies. He and Jinx posed for a picture with Zatanna, him with the casual attitude that comes from being a superhero who regularly gets stopped by fans for selfies, his partner, on the other hand, being much more shy and holding Wally's hand with a small smile on her face as Zatanna posed with them and took the picture.

After Zatanna left Jinx asked, "Are you going to be able to make a fake audience without your daughter?"

"Yes, it shouldn't be too difficult for me to manage. However, I do have one small problem."

"What is it?"

"When I cancel the performance, I will also have to send my staff home for safety purposes, which won't be a problem, except that Mumbo Jumbo will notice that I don't have an assistant."

"I guess that's true, I'm not one for magic acts, but it does seem like most Magicians do have assistants. Uh, maybe we can help…?" Wally offered

"Perhaps. Normally when I require an assistant my daughter fills in, but I've already sent her home and it's too dangerous to call her back…. although…" at this Zatara trailed off, looking at Jinx thoughtfully.

"What is it?" Jinx asked, already dreading the answer as she envisioned herself in a skimpy magician's assistant outfit, something that was certainly a far cry from her usual purple witch-like clothes. Wally frowning next to her, also not liking where this was going.

As if sensing her fears, Zatara smiled "Nothing as bad as what you're both probably imagining right now, I can cast an illusion spell on you to make you look like my daughter Zatanna, she regularly helps me with my performances anyways, so nothing will seem off."

At this, both teens sighed in relief.

Soon enough they were splitting up, Zatara to go call off the show, Wally and Jinx to go call the other Titans and fill them in.

Kid Flash and Jinx entered a supply closet to privately call the other Titans. They each pulled out their communicators and set up a conference call between the couple and the 5 main Teen Titans. "Hey guys, me and Jinx finished observing all the magicians' acts going on tonight and ran into a friend of my Uncle." was how Wally decided to green the other Titans when they answered.

"I'm confused, why would a friend of your uncle be important to this, and since when did you even have an uncle, dude?" asked Beastboy

"He means the Flash. Kid, which friend of your uncle did you two run into?" Robin answered before Wally or Jinx could respond.

"Zatara. He was not happy with us snooping around his show, but he came around and even offered to let us use his show tonight as a trap for Mumbo." Wally answered

"We also met his daughter, who he sent home along with his crew for the night so they're safe from becoming collateral. He's going to quietly cancel his show but make it look like it's still happening by making an illusion of an audience. He's offered that you guys can hide backstage so Mumbo won't see you while Kid blends in with the audience and he wants me to pose as his assistant, I guess it's not as easy to illusion an assistant then it is an audience." Jinx reported

"How is that going to work? Even if you put on a magician's outfit it's still going to look like you, and that hologram bracelet Cyborg gave you hides your clothes as well as your appearance." inquired Raven

"Apparently his daughter fills in for his assistant a lot, so he's just going to put an illusion on me to look like her, hopefully, I won't have to do too much before Mumbo shows up so we can fight him."

"Understood. Good job you two, We're on our way and will be there soon." Robin said before disconnecting the call.
