Chapter 1: Mystic
I ran as fast as I could but heck I was a little kid that was running from gang members in Central City, "Leave me alone!" I shouted as I shot a fireball at them from my hand
Yes you heard correctly I shot a fireball at them… I found out last week that I knew some mystic arts and I was running because the gang thought I was a freak for using them.
I focused and disappeared from sight, a technique that I learned from my week of running I can three spells from at least three forms of magic. Destruction, Conjuration and Restoration.
I can shoot fireballs, turn invisible and heal wounds that I can receive if they're not too severe but I was low on energy so my invisibility didn't last that long as I fell towards the ground and I couldn't move fast enough when the gang members grabbed me one of them had a burnt cheek and pulled out a switchblade, "You're going to pay for burning my face you little punk!" He declared but the knife became a snake before wrapping around him becoming rope in the end
"The hell did you do kid?" One of the Gang members shouted as he shook me
"I didn't do anything I swear!" I said
"That was me." A man in golden armor was flying down
"Crap its Fate!" Shouted one of the Gang members before Fate waved his hand and they were all tied up and gagged
I looked in amazement as the one called Fate walked towards me, "What is your name son?"
"G-Gary Walker." I said nervously
"You know little of the Mystic Arts Gary Walker… How would you like to learn?" He offered a hand.
I was shocked but I accepted only to find myself at a tower, "Where are we?"
"We're at my tower and I will teach you the art of the mystic of you're willing to learn but be warned I am growing weak and the helmet of Fate will become yours only if you're worthy enough." Fate warned and from how he was saying it I knew that it was a bad thing
"O-okay." I said
(Eight Years Later)
I've learned a lot from Dr. Fate over the time but I never went into the field with him because I was never ready. I learned of the struggles of the Mystical world and the basic spells that I needed to know, even though I learned a lot I have a lot more that I needed to learn when Dr. Fate came into my room with a man that was dressed like a bat
"This is my apprentice Batman I believe that he would be helpful to your group." My eyes widened at the thought of being helpful to the Batman; I've only heard stories of him and the Justice League but I never met them
I bowed, "Greetings Dark Knight and what do I owe the pleasure of this meeting?"
"I have a team that you might be interested in joining come to Mount Justice tomorrow at eight." He put some files my table before he turned to Fate, "How come you kept him a secret?"
"He wasn't ready at the time but now I believe he is ready to go out into the field and this team of yours needs one trained in the Mystic Arts." Fate explained surprising me that he had enough faith in my abilities.
As they left I thought about it before making up my mind and studied the files that Batman left to see who my teammates were going to be.
The next day I teleported along by myself to the coordinates that Batman gave me in time to hear Batman say, "You six will be that team." I was invisible at the time
The kid with the shades who I presumed to be Robin said, "Cool… Wait six?"
He looked behind them and I turned to see a green skinned girl and I knew that it was Miss Martian, "This is Martian Manhunter's niece Miss Martian."
"Liking this gig every minute." Commented the red head boy who I immediately knew who was Kid Flash which meant the other two were Superboy and Aqualad.
"But who's the sixth member?" Asked Robin in confusion
I decided to reveal myself, "That would be me." I dropped my invisibility spell and walked in dressed in light blue enchanted armor, "The names Mystic." I chose that name to hide my secret identity
"Never heard of you." Commented Kid Flash
I smiled, "I'm Doctor Fate's apprentice in the Mystic Arts."
Now he laughed, "Good one!"
I raised an eyebrow, "Excuse me?"
"Everyone knows that magic isn't real."
I chuckled, "A non-believer huh?" I was really amused by this, "Well I've been training for eight years as Fate's apprentice so I say that magic is real."
"Enough." Batman said, "You six will be the team needed for covert missions and Fate came to me saying that his apprentice would be a good addition."
Aqualad shrugged, "Welcome to the team Mystic." He held out his hand and I took it
"Thank you Aqualad."
