This is stupid

He shouldn't even be bothering Dinah with this. She is never going to let him live this down. Ever. When they are old and grey, she will call him up and make fun of him about this.

Even so, he needs to ask her advice. Dinah usually gives decent advice. When she is so inclined. So he's standing outside her flower shop, checking to see if she's in there or what.

His expression makes it clear that he hadn't considered that and he's not wild about the possibility.

One hand goes out to him. "Hey. I don't like it either, but given what I did to Ollie and Pieter, I can't not think about it. Zee didn't seem to think so. I hope she's right. I really do. Then I'd only have to worry about you two breaking each other's hearts, or at least giving some nasty emotional bruises. Normal stuff."

Right.

...wait a minute, I'm a telepath. Maybe not as good as J'onn is, but I think I can spot a trigger related to myself... maybe Zee'll let me check. Or if not, we can always ask J'onn.

"Couldn't hurt. Oh, and just to keep that gloomy look off your face for a few more seconds, I told Constantine I'd kick his ass if he hurt Zee. Want me to have Oracle send you the video?"

A snort.

Constantine is best kept well out of sight, Dinah.

"Okay, okay, no video. You can just buy me a drink afterwards." Dinah gets up from her office chair and moves around to the other side of her desk to give Arthur a tight hug. "Or you can buy me a drink anyway, rich man."

There's room in there for liquid after all that food you ate?

Nonetheless, he returns the hug just as powerfully.

"Later," she says firmly. "G'wan. I'm gonna get back to earning an honest living before I kick Constantine's butt a few times."

One more hug. "Take care of yourself, Arthur."
