Magical Calling

**Magical Calling** is the premiere episode of season one of *Zatanna: The Mistress of Magic.*

## Plot

The episode begins outside of a closed strip club. The owner of the strip club is waiting impatiently outside when a black car pulls up. Out steps the sexy and voluptuous Zatanna. The owner checks her out for a moment before asking her if she can really fix the problem. Zatanna smirks and cockily says that she can as long as he pays her. The strip club owner tells her that she'll get paid once the "weird thing" is gone and also tells her that its been attacking his guests. Zatanna tells him that she knows what to do and walks to the club's front door. She tells him that if he hears anything inside, do not open the door. The club owner begrudgingly agrees and she walks inside. She takes her hat off and magically changes her clothes into sexy lingerie. She seductively calls out to whatever is in the club, telling it "I know what turns you on."

She starts doing a sexy dance and a deep growling noise is heard from the shadows. She keeps dancing as the growling creature steps into the dim lights of the club. It's a very aroused sex demon. The demon smiles deviously at her and walks behind her, grabbing her large ass. Zatanna gasps in arousal and turns around and tells the creature teasingly to keep its hands to itself. The demon then grabs onto her huge breasts, saying he wants to pleasure her forever, but she swats his hands away. This enrages the demon and it throws her into a nearby wall, knocking over a stand. Zatanna grunts and slowly stands up. The sex demon roars and charges at her, scratching her arm and pinning her to the ground. It growls in her face and licks her cheek. She grunts and pushes it off with a telekinetic blast. The demon sails through the air and lands hard on the ground, momentarily stunned. Zatanna readies a fireball as the demon slowly stands up. It roars in anger and charges at her but she throws the fireball at it, disintegrating it and sending it back to Hell. Some black wisps of smoke rise up from the demon's charred remains but she quickly captures the black smoke in a bubble of magic energy. Her lingerie changes back into her regular outfit.

She walks back outside and tells the club owner that everything is fine now. The club owner pulls out a few hundred dollar bills and puts them in her hand. She thanks him and gets back into her car, driving off into the night.

Cut to a flashback montage. We see a teenage Zatanna learning magic with her father Giovanni in the attic of their home. Zatanna narrates, saying that at first there was a time when magic and monsters seemed like a lot of fun. As she narrates, we see happy scenes of her using her magic to different effects and her father proudly cheering her on each time. But things soon turn dark as Zatanna says "It was all fun and games...until that night." We see Giovanni being dragged into a fiery portal by burned disembodied hands. Zatanna tries to grab for him but Giovanni says that everything will be alright and tells her to find "John" before being sucked into the portal completely. The flashback then cuts to a more older looking Zatanna in her early 20s as she walks up to the door of a run down magic shop in London. There she meets John Constantine and Detective Chimp. The flashback ends with Zatanna saying "after I met them...magic seemed a lot happier again."
