It's here! Finally! Sorry it took a while, I had school to worry about, ended up writing so many essays I didn't even want to look at Microsoft Word again for a long time (well long for me) then I started this amazing Harry Potter story I couldn't stop reading and an AiW 2010 epic and by epic I mean five books consisting of 189 chapters and not a bunch of short chapters either, I marvel at that girl's dedication to writing. They are called Ultima Ratio by Winterblume and One Promise Kept by Manniness for any Potter or Wonderland fans who may be reading this.

Basically I took a break but I'm back so let's start The Witch Boy Gets

Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice or its characters, just this story and its predecessor

Five years later; London, England:

"Duck!" Zatanna Zatara's voice rang out over the sound of the rather loud museum alarm. Thugs with some big guns and unusually strong body armor were trying to fight their way past the two magicians and their witch friend. However the heroes weren't so keen on allowing them to leave with their loot.

"To your right!" Zatara yelled. The father and daughter had been doing this for a while; they knew the drill and were rather calm as they fought. The third person however wasn't too sure.

Lenore Raven cast her spells with precision and skill. She was a naturally skilled witch who could one day become a master of the mystic arts however she was not one yet and she was anxious behind her composed façade no matter how much experience against villains she seemed to gather. She became a part time crime fighter in her mid teens training under Zatara's guidance. He was not a perfect mentor since his magic was slightly different than hers; she needed no wands or incantations and therefore had to teach herself many things but she was still grateful for what he could provide. Around the time of her training, Zatara began giving his daughter more freedom and the two girls became partners and very close friends.

One of the guns' modified bullets went flying towards Lenore and she blocked it with a shield. Said shield then began to morph into something like a glowing golden rope and wrapped around a trio of gunmen ten feet in front of Lenore. She tossed them to the side as one yelled out something about getting back at 'magic girl' causing Lenore to roll her eyes. Villains really were unimaginative when trying to come up with names. She only did this part time and only the small jobs so she never felt the need for an alias but maybe she should come up with one before the media makes up something stupid like they did with Kid Flash. She was contemplating calling herself the Raven (simple, mysterious, hiding in plain sight) and decided that it had most likely been taken already as she sent an energy blast into another man's solar plexus.

To her left her partners were just about finished with the rest of the gunmen and the stolen property poofed back into the museum. Lenore sighed in relief, her job was done and she would soon be able to relax unless the League had something else for her to do, relaxing was a rare thing in the young woman's life now. But she would not change it, not one detail not even her original teacher. Zatara and the League have never been comfortable with the fact that Lenore learned magic from Klarion and they certainly were not keen on how similar their magic styles were or Lenore's adamant objections to Klarion being punished for his crimes against her even after all these years have passed. The subject was avoided though and only arose whenever Klarion was causing trouble. When that happened Lenore was kept far away from the witch boy, it was not safe for her to be near him in case she turned to his side or if he wanted her back as his hostage. Lenore could understand their precautions but she thought it was ridiculous she wasn't allowed to see his criminal file or even a glimpse at his picture. I wonder if he has aged at all?

Suddenly a hand rested on Lenore's shoulder effectively pulling her out of her reverie, "Hey it's time to go home, besides don't you have a date to go to?" Zatanna smiled at her older friend. Said friend observed her and took note of her appearance: black curly hair the same shade as her own, bright blue eyes, white shirt, yellow vest, black jacket and shorts, and a pretty face. Lenore was dressed similarly but with a dark green vest that matched her eyes, pants instead of shorts, and her hair pulled back into a messy bun.

"No that's not till next weekend," Lenore commented.

Zatanna looked at her oddly, "You are happy with Jeremy, right?"

"Yeah sure, no need to worry I'm twenty years old I know what I'm doing."

"Oh all right miss I-can-take-care-of-myself, see ya later."

"See ya." The younger walked away to her father and they left for their home. Lenore watched them leave before ascending into the air in a manner much like the witch boy's and left for Star City.

'She's become very talented.' This thought from the mind of an observer not too far off hiding in the shadows. 'Has it really been five years since I've seen her?' Brown eyes gazed at the young witch admirably. Five years, five years since he first taught her to shoot an energy blast and erect a shield, five years since he saw her pretty face. But she wasn't pretty anymore Klarion realized. His observations confirmed this; she was not pretty, she was beautiful.

She had grown up and changed. No longer did the fifteen year old girl with her bangs and naivety exist. Bangs had grown out so that they blended in with the rest of her wavy locks, eyes had somehow became an even darker and more alluring shade of green, and at least two inches had been added in height. Her body had filled out with the curves of womanhood while still looking slender and her face looked more mature and in Klar's opinion, more attractive. There was no doubt that her naivety was gone now that she fought crime. Klarion was not too happy with that thought, what kind of villains did she fight? What sort of crimes did she see now? Why was she fighting in the first place? Talented as she may be the witch boy did not like the thought of his Lenore in a combat situation.

He had missed her, had wanted her back since she left but unfortunately after getting out of Belle Reve Klarion had business to attend to. But now he was here so close to her and he wondered why he hadn't seen her since his freedom. The eldest magician always attended missions that involved him and many times brought his daughter, why did Lenore not join? Did she not want to see him? Was that why she wouldn't testify all those years ago? As pleased as he was about that he had looked forward to seeing her again. Perhaps Lenore didn't know, perhaps the heroes hid her from him. Klarion scoffed, annoyed at the thought anyone would dare keep something he wanted away from him.

He gazed at her retreating form and fought the urge to go after her, he was here for business and the girl's- no, the woman's presence was mere coincidence. He would see her soon and she would be his. He'd need a new strategy though since kidnapping would not work this time. Perhaps he should try asking her out on a date like she had suggested to him once long ago.

He turned away and walked out of the shadows, his now older body came out into view with an irked feline in tow. Now that he had seen Lenore all grown up Klarion was glad that he decided to age himself a year ago after people continued to treat him like a child. Physically he was a couple years older than Lenore, a few inches taller, and developed a more muscled but still lean build.

Shaking his head to clear it of all thoughts about Lenore and concentrated on his mission. Wouldn't want to be distracted when her new friends inevitably showed up would he?

Teekl sat back for a minute, she had admitted a while back that she was stupid to be jealous but she wasn't happy that the girl popped up again. 'I do not want to deal with a love sick Klarion a second time.'

I'm so happy this is finally here, sorry it's a little shorter but it is an intro. Please review I really don't want this to be one of those sequels that just ruins the story so I need advice to prevent that

(Oh and if you are wondering what is different between a magician and witch in the superhero world I'm not sure they just seem to have different powers EX: flying versus levitating on magical platforms)
