Author's Note: Total reboot going on here. Everything that happened before is sort of still here but in a different way and 3 chapters became one long chapter. This will probably be updated slowly as I don't really have any ideas beyond the basics.
Chapter 1: The Beginning
My story is rather simple, well up until about a week ago. My name is Ariana, Ariana Lestrange. There's nothing really out of the ordinary about me. I grew up in Manhattan, in a gargantuan mansion, with my mom, Bellatrix, and my sister, Cat. We're all human, nothing out of the ordinary about us. That is until I decided to go into the storage room. Bad idea, what was I thinking, quite honestly I'm not even sure. That's what created the mess that is about to follow.
I had gone in there looking for something, what that was no longer matters, and it never will, what matters is what I found. Plus I don't remember. Everything in that room was covered in dust and cobwebs. On the back half of one of the shelves was a box labeled Souls. Yeah, I know what your thinking, that makes absolutely no sense, how can you keep souls in a box? Well, that's exactly what I was thinking anyway. I pulled the box out and immediately almost dropped it. It was way heavier than I had expected it to be, apparently souls are heavy. I carried it upstairs and over to the kitchen table, and set it down. "Mom, Cat," I shouted.
"Can you come in here please?" Cat came running into the room a few seconds later, and Mom followed.
"I see you found the box," Mom said her eyes glossing over with tears.
"What's wrong?" I asked, genuinely confused.
"It's kind of hard to explain, but inside the box are crystal balls, each one contains the ashe, soul, or life force of a person. The reason your father was never in the picture or a part of your lives is that he never existed in the first place. You were both, in a way born, from the crystal balls in this box. That's why I always had you both wear glasses, they prevent your powers from manifesting fully, even I don't know what those powers are, well I have some idea, but that's not really the point. So for your safety and the safety of others, I decided to do everything in my power to keep them at bay," Mom explained staring at her feet.
"Why didn't you tell us this," Cat shouted in anger, trying to not to lose her temper, further than it was already gone.
"I didn't tell you because I was afraid this would happen," Mom said sadly, tears swimming in her eyes, and gesturing to the two of us, clearly meaning our anger.
"We deserved to know," I said angrily. I opened the box and pulled out one of the crystal balls, wiping off the dust. There was a name inscribed on it, etched on the surface, and there seemed to be some sort of whispering coming from within.
The whispers frightened me, so much so that I dropped the ball and it shattered against the wooden floor. Mom face-palmed and shook her head, "Now you've done it." she said frustrated. The remains of the crystal turned to smoke and swirled through the air, forming a person-like figure. The figure came into focus and solidified in a matter of seconds. Standing before up was a girl, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and glasses, she was wearing a blue dress.
"Where am I? Who are you people?" she asked, eyes widening and started to shake with panic.
"Calm down, we aren't going to hurt you," Cat said inching forward slowly. I followed close behind and wrapped my arms around the shaking girl.
"I'm Ariana Lestrange, you can call me Ari, and this is my mom, Bellatrix, and my sister Cat," I said softly trying not to spook her even further.
"I'm Felicity, Felicity Smoak," she said softly, eyes darting around the room.
"How did I get here?" she asked, now on the verge of tears, as she clung to me for dear life.
I bit my lip, trying to figure out whether or not to tell her the truth. "The truth is, you came from one of those crystal balls. I accidentally dropped it and here you are. I'm sorry I can't tell you much else, I only just found out that I came from crystal too," I said, still speaking softly and gesturing to the box. Felicity nodded and moved away from me and closer to the box. She picked up another crystal sphere.
"This one says Lena Luthor on it," she held it up, then placed it back in the box, carefully, and pulled another one out.
"And this one says Diana Prince, for some reason I feel like I know these people," she said running her fingers over the crystal, set it back in the box, and picked up the same one as she had the first time. Felicity looked over at me, then looked back at the crystal ball, seemingly have come to a decision, then finally dropped the crystal.
"Why did you do that?" Mom asked exasperatedly, Felicity shrugged.
"It just felt like something I had to do," she said eyes trained on the smoke swirling before us.
Another figure formed, this one with dark brown hair and emerald eyes, dressed in a red skirt and a white blouse, covered by a matching red blazer.
"Where am I?" the girl, Lena, asked, moving into a defensive stance, apparently ready to punch someone if need be.
"Not confined in a crystal ball," Felicity said, I giggled.
"Your safe, this is Lestrange Manor, I'm Ariana, this is my mom, Bellatrix, my sister, Cat, and Felicity," I said and Felicity proceeded to explain everything quickly and then smother Lena in a hug. Lena hesitated then hugged back.
"Why do I feel like I know all of you?" I shrugged.
"That's what I've been trying to figure out in my head. Do you have any ideas? Because all I have come up with is the crystal balls being pieces of another universe," Lena nodded.
"This is going to sound insane, but that seems logical. You know judging by the rest of the situation, I'm gonna say that's not the craziest thing that's happened or been said today." I laughed, ran into another room, grabbed a pad of paper and a pen, then sat down in a chair. I quickly wrote down everything we already know and have guessed, in different columns, as everyone sat down around the table. Felicity peered into the box and pulled out another crystal ball.
"This one is light blue instead of white like the other ones," she said confused. Lena pulled it out of the box and examined it. Suddenly, the crystal ball screamed, which normally wouldn't be normal, but if you find that weird, I have one question for you. Have you been paying any attention?! Lena dropped the sphere in shock and it shattered against the hardwood of the table. "This ball seems to have more smoke and is taking longer to solidify," Felicity said, and Cat nodded.
"Maybe there are two people in the sphere instead of one. Like twins maybe?"
"That would make sense, it's also possible that it's just taking longer. Plus they don't necessarily have to be twins. They could just be related or something," Felicity babbled, gesturing with her hands and almost hitting me in the face.
"Sorry I almost hit you. I tend to move around when I'm talking," she apologized as I caught her wrist about an inch from my nose.
"It's fine," I replied letting go.
"In other words, Ari tends to do that when she's excited about something, I've been hit a few times," Cat said.
Ugh, I thought to myself.
It's not my fault it's true, said a small voice in my head. My eyes widened as I realized that it was obviously Cat's voice. I fell off my chair and landed on someone's foot, looking up I realized that I had landed on Lena's foot.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to land on your foot," I said and Lena laughed and helped me up.
"It's fine, I almost hit you in the face, so we're even," she said. We all looked over at the smoke as it started to solidify. Two streams of smoke swirled together and formed a single figure, standing on the dining room table. She had auburn hair and brown eyes, she was dressed in a black and blue dress, with a water-like print. The girl glanced around at all of us as if trying to figure out if she knew us or not.
"Is your name Caitlin?" Felicity asked her, eyebrows furrowed together.
"Yes," Caitlin said.
"How did you know that? Who are all of you? Where am I? And how did I get here?" Caitlin asked looking slightly worried.
"Just a hunch," Felicity replied.
"I'm Felicity Smoak, this is Ariana, Cat, and Bellatrix Lestrange, and Lena Luthor," she continued.
"You're at Lestrange Manor and how you got here is kinda complicated," I said.
"In short, you were in one of those crystal spheres," Cat pointed at the box as she spoke.
"This next part is going to sound really strange, but the ball screamed, and Lena dropped it, frightened. The sphere turned to smoke and swirled around to, in a way, form you," Cat finished.
"You know what, that sounds so insane that I feel like I have no choice but to believe you," Caitlin said sitting down.
"We were also thinking that the crystal spheres might be pieces of another universe, but we don't really have any proof," Felicity stated, fiddling with the pen that I had been writing with. Probably won't be getting that back.
"Your crystal ball was a light blue, do you have any idea why that would be?" Lena asked Caitlin curiously. Suddenly Caitlin's hands frosted over and her hair turned white, while her eyes became like fractals of ice.
"I have ice powers," she said pointlessly, her voice vibrating slightly.
"Well, that also explains why you took longer to solidify," Lena said, I frowned, confused.
"What do you mean?"
"Basically, her more frosty side is almost like another soul, meaning that the two souls had to accept each other and co-exist in order for her to form fully if that makes any sense," Lena answered sketching out the general idea of it on the piece of paper from earlier, I nodded.
"That makes sense," I said looking at the drawing. We continued to brainstorm and get to know each other a bit better until something crazy happened. Well, something crazier than what's already been happening.
Suddenly, the box started to shake, swirls of smoke twisted and twirled around the room, finally settling into eight different swirls. The swirls twisted into figures and solidified into six people. Six girls and one boy stood before us in various states of shock and fright. They all stuck in pairs. The first pair consisted of two girls, one with blonde hair and blue eyes, her hair was long and pulled up in a high ponytail. She was dressed in a blue collared top, a grey trench coat, and dark blue pants, the other girl was practically the opposite of the first. She had dark auburn hair and brown eyes, her hair short and slightly curled, and she was dressed in a black t-shirt, dark blue jacket, and faded blue jeans. The blonde seems to be curled up to the brunette, seemingly more frightened, while the brunette comforted her.
While the girl on the left was blonde with blue eyes. She was wearing a grey shirt, blue leather jacket, and black jeans. She seemed calm and unfrightened but was keeping a distance from everyone around her.
The next person was a girl, on the other hand, had brown hair and grey-green eyes, her hair was short and a bit choppy. She was wearing a black dress with a red leather jacket, that seemed to have an endless amount of zippers. She didn't seem scared or shocked but did seem ready to fight, like Lena had been.
The last was a girl, who was blonde with a turquoise streak and several red streaks running through it. She was wearing a starkid? T-shirt and jeans.
They all asked the same questions as everyone that has arrived, we answered, they introduced themselves. They're names in order of their descriptions. Kara and Alex Danvers, Sara Lance, Thea Queen, and Victoire Weasley.
So there's not much else to tell you about.
I'm kidding, good question, why am I kidding?
Quite honestly, I'm not exactly in a great situation right now. Um, basically what happened is someone knocked the entire box off the table and now I can't see anything or anyone, because of the swirling smoke.
"Okay, who knocked the box off the table," came Bella's voice from my right.
"Um, I think that was me," Felicity said, from behind me.
"Honestly, it could have been any of us, things got so crowded that there's no real way of telling," Cat said as her hand collided with my glasses.
"Ouch, what was that for?" I asked.
"I was just trying to figure out where you were," Cat answered clinging to my arm.
Suddenly, there was a streak of red lightning, followed by a streak of blue. "What the heck was that?" Lena called from the other side of the room, I think.
"A speedster is what I'm calling it," Felicity said, hugging me for some reason.
"Why are you hugging me?" I asked her.
"Because I know where you are and I don't wanna lose you in all the smoke," she answered softly.
"Oh," was all I could think to say. This is why I don't hang out with people because I tend to care too much. The smoke continued to swirl, and Felicity, Cat, and I clung to each other and tried to get to everyone else. We found Lena pretty quickly, along with Caitlin, who almost killed us with an icicle. After that though, we really just stumbled around the room and ended up on the floor.
"Someone needs to find the box," Bella said from across the room.
All the sudden, the smoke cleared and standing before us were around ten people. So, basically, we screwed up big time. By the way, explanations occurred, and names were given.
The first person introduced herself as Samantha Arias but told us to call her Sam. Sam had dark brown hair, with blonde-ish tips, and bright golden eyes. She was dressed in a simple black dress with silver and gold paint splatter leggings and a grey sweater.
Second, is Isabelle Delacour, who has long brown hair, in a perfect high ponytail and hazel eyes, she's dressed in a blue shirt and marker doodled jeans, and is currently cartwheeling around the room.
Third, is Jade Vader, who has long brown hair and brown eyes, and is dressed in a red and black sweatshirt and black jeans, she's also cartwheeling around the room, but she ran into a wall and we all laughed.
Fourth, is Nyssa Al Ghul, who has really dark brown hair and sharp brown eyes. She's dressed in a red shirt, black pants, and a really dark grey trench coat. She seems like she's ready to kill us all or hug us, I can't really tell.
Fifth is Amaya Jiwe, who has black hair and dark brown eyes, she is dressed in a maroon top and black pants, around her neck is a totem shaped like an almost cat-like head.
Sixth is Zari Tomaz, who has dark brown hair and bright brown eyes, she is dressed in a green jacket, grey shirt, and jeans. Around her neck is a totem, as well, this one shaped more like a harp with a red gem in the center.
