Hi, and welcome to my second Young Justice story! This is just the prologue, but I'm sure you can see that because it's only like 300 words long. Don't worry, the full chapters will be much longer. Anyway, enjoy. (:


"True, her magical abilities have yet to be honed, but I sense great potential lying within." Dr. Fate floated outside of the Harris' mansion, mentally conversing with his host, Zatara. The two magicians were deciding whether or not to take in a ward.

"But if you train her as your protégé, won't that mean she'll have to sacrifice her mortal life to become the new Dr. Fate?" Zatara asked, intrigued.

"Indeed. And I would release you when she came of age." Zatara couldn't believe it. It had been five years since he had wandered the earth as himself, not as Dr. Fate. If this girl, Elaina Harris, became the new Dr. Fate, he could resume his old life. He could see Zatanna again. But how would Zatanna take it? Knowing his daughter, not well, "Not that you have any real say in the matter. Your body grows weak after years of service, and with proper training, this girl could be twice the Dr. Fate that Kent Nelson, or you, ever were."

"How will you contact her?"

The girl lay in her queen bed, blond neatly arranged onto her pillow. Her chest rose and fell with the peaceful cover of sleep. If only she knew what fate, and Fate, had in store for her.

"In time, Zatara. In time."


Tada. Love to have reviews, constructive criticism, etc. etc. (: I don't know when I'll get the next- well, first chapter out, since I've been spending some time in the hospital. See ya next time!
