[Victor looks a little annoyed when he turns on his console tonight. Behind him, the view of his suite is blocked by some rock. A big, talking rock to be exact. Santo's right there behind him.]

Hey, everyone. I've got a question for everyone that's familiar with superheroes. It's about the costumes. They're an important thing to have, right? For a lot of reasons like protecting and hiding secret identities.

But this guy [He jerks a thumb over his shoulder at Santo.] just says they're stupid.

Don't get me wrong, the costumes are cool but that's about it. Wearing one just to hide your identity is what's stupid. You don't see Ms. Marvel, Iron Man, or Hawkeye worried about people knowing who they are. Hell, Luke Cage doesn't even wear a costume and he kicks all kinds of ass!

Besides, you don't see any X-Men hiding behind a mask.

[Victor just rolls his eyes.]

Lots of X-Men have worn masks. [He shakes his head.] So what do you guys think? Costumes important for superheroes or not?

The answer is obviously not.

[Victor doesn't even bother replying. He just gives Santo a look.]

Nah, I can't win a fashion argument with him. Though I did get him to wear a mustache once.

You mean grow a moustache.

[...right?]

Nah, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have any body hair... I mean, at least not on places I've seen. No, I got him to wear one of those fake costume ones. It was totally hilarious! He looks like a little old hermit man.

[Now that was a mental image]

Too bad you don't have any pictures.

He was pretty serious about not doing that again, even if we do go out fighting crime and shenanigans. If you wanted to see it again, though, couldn't you just magic one on him?

[She could. With probable cause, and potential backup.]

But it wouldn't be right to use my magic like that.

I'll give you a dollar.

Oh, wow. A whole dollar.

How could I refuse?

[You may or may not be drowning in the most obvious sarcasm right now.]

Hey, I don't know the exchange rate here. One dollar could be a lot in turtle money.

Or it could be worth nothing.

How about I give you a hug instead, then? Those are priceless.

[She opens her mouth to comment...but nothing comes out. Her face is twisted into a breif 'what do?' expression.]

[It's not that personal space was much of an issue with her. And it wasn't like she didn't know Santo. It's just...well...a hug from him looked like it could hurt.]

[Only if he doesn't like you, but you're good people, Zatanna.]

... Or not.

Gonna go with the 'not'.

[No offense]

Five dollars, then.

You're really not going to let this idea go, are you?

I have a talent for getting what I want usually.

That's funny. So do I.

Yeah? It that because of magic too? I get stuff through my charming personality annoying the pants off of people.

It's not the magic. [Not always] Though I usually prefer the people around me to keep their pants on.

[...maybe give or take a couple exceptions. Hey, she was a teen girl, after all.]

Then when you're around, I'll be sure to annoy the pants onto them.

Santo!

[He looks annoyed and a little embarrassed.]

What!? It's a compliment... Sort of.

How is talking about whether or not I have any bodyhair a compliment?

Some people like the hairless thing?
