Once again, if you have a fic that is old, but you'd like reviews for it, head over to the "Your Fics, Your Faves, Advertisement" Forum~
Anyways~ This is my 20th fic, and it's also my first OC fic (I HATE OC's; however, this is different, because the character is taking the mantle of another character whom has yet to have a person take their mantle (In this continuity, I know that there are other five Doctor Fate's after Kent Nelson)) That's right, if you read all of my fics, you know I am talking about: The one. The only. The Doctor Fate. Whom hits on people more than Wally does~
Warnings: I will try to stay as close to canon as possible; however, as it is me I feel the need to include slash, and this is already AU-ish, so possible pairings:
Any pairing. Request for your favourite pairing~ (The Team, including my OC (and possibly Roy) only.)
Also, I'd like to ask you nice people to read what's on my profile ^.^
Disclaimer: I only own my OC, and I barely own him anyways, he's taking the mantle of Doctor Fate.
Introductions
When the Team had returned from their last mission, they had not expected another one; when the Team surged into the living area, there was someone already sitting on the couch. A person whom was unknown to all of them.
"How did you get in here?" Robin demanded, as he drew his birdarangs, Artemis her bow, Aqualad his water bearers, Kid Flash, Superboy and Miss Martian a fighting stance. He simply spared them a glance, stood up, and placed a hand on his hip, "and why do you look like you came from a private school?" He wore matching dress pants and blazer with a button-up dress shirt and a striped tie, untied around his neck, giving them the impression he was not supposed to be here.
"Never mind where he came from, why is he standing like a girl?" Artemis quipped, the male looked at his current posture, he currently stood with his hip jutting out the left, hands on hips; the brown eyed boy swiped his black bangs with a shrug
He was decidedly average height, his broad shoulders offset his slim and slender torso and legs.
"I believe I should be asking you your original question," he replied, his voice neither too deep, nor too high. His eyes darted from Robin, to Artemis, to Kid Flash, to Aqualad, to Miss Martian to Superboy. He licked his lips at the sight of Kid Flash, Aqualad, and Superboy.
"What do you mean?" Aqualad asked
"This is the old headquarters for the Justice League. It has been abandoned since 2008. So, what are you doing here?"
"Everyone on?" Miss Martian confirmed through their telepathic link.
"You know it, Beautiful." Kid Flash eager as ever to reply.
"Yup." Came Artemis' and Robin's reply.
"Yes." Aqualad said, Superboy merely grunted.
"Oh! Are we talking telepathically~?" The last voice was new yet familiar; they all stared at the male in front of them.
"How did you-" Aqualad asked startled.
"Because, I'm special~ Just like you. And you're ruining my hideout!" He screamed in an unexpectedly child-like voice. They were all reminded of Klarion, the Witch-boy.
"Batman. There's an intruder. Orders?" Robin muttered into his com-link, attempting to move his lips as little as possible.
"Batman, Orders?" He repeated in a mock voice.
"Contain him, we get there as soon as possible." Kid Flash charged at him with super speed, he jumped in the nick of time, causing Kid Flash to crash into the coffee table, with only a "AH!" after Kid Flash crashed into the table he rolled into the wall. The male landed on the back of the couch, with a little less grace, but more finesse than Robin.
"Such a shame, that was a great coffee table, maple wood," he said, looking at the coffee table. Robin threw his birdarangs, Artemis fired her arrows, and Aqualad fired solidified water, he grabbed the birdarangs as they flew towards him, and jumping and ducking out of the way of Artemis' arrows and Aqualad's water. He threw the birdarangs back at the Team, exploding just before they reached them, causing Artemis, Robin and Miss Martian to be thrown back; Artemis and Robin groaned as their heads smashed into the door frame and they slumped over, unconscious; while Miss Martian disappeared from sight through the door.
Superboy and Aqualad stood, their arms crossed in front of their faces as the smoke cleared. He was now standing in front of them, his hair and clothing in the exact same place as it was when he first stood up. All that jumping, you'd think it would've messed up, he drew a fighting stance, "Come at me." Superboy released a war cry and charged at him, Aqualad simply watched, in fear of hitting Superboy instead of their opponent.
He jumped over Superboy's shoulders, and pressed down in between Superboy's shoulder blades, with his left index and middle finger, with apparently no effect. Superboy turned around and his arm swung at him, he ducked and attempted to leg sweep Superboy, but Superboy proved too heavy and his leg merely bounced off Superboy's. He let out a low growl and back flipped a couple of times. Aqualad once again took his shot at the intruder.
Aqualad drew water from the air, and created water whips, if you will. Aqualad cracked the whips, and the male dodged every lash with grace and finesse, while Kaldur merely scratched the surface of their floors and walls. Conner was also chasing him around the room; he proved to be agile and nimble, attaching himself to walls and ceilings, knocking over things so that he could to gain any advantage. Kaldur and Conner were simply looking for an opening, or otherwise stalling until the League arrived.
"Recognized: Batman 02, Flash 04, Aquaman 06, Martian Manhunter 07, Green Arrow 08, Zatara 11." The automated computer voice reverberated throughout the cave. He leapt to Superboy's side, he immediately tied his tie, then stood like a military cadet. Superboy simply looked confused at the change of heart. Aqualad moved to check on the rest of the team, while the League members entered the now destroyed living area.
Miss Martian was now re-entering the room, with apparently great difficulty as she clung to her ribs and the wall like a life-line. Kid Flash got up, rubbing his head, and took Aqualad's hand. Green Arrow helped up Artemis, muttering "Are you okay?" While Robin stood up on his own, brushing off dust and dirt from his costume. The Team gathered in a straight line: Miss Martian, Superboy, Robin, the male, Kid Flash, Aqualad and Artemis, from left to right.
The Leaguers too stood in a straight line, Martian Manhunter who looked concerned, Zatara who looked slightly amused, Batman who wore no look, Flash who was smiling from ear to ear, Aquaman who had his face in his palm, and Green Arrow who was grinning slightly.
"Meet your new teammate. Doctor Fate." Batman said, gesturing to the male standing in the middle of the Team. The Team looked aghast: their new "teammate" had just tied or won against all of them. At the same time.
"Wait! He can't be Doctor Fate! I still have the helmet in my room!" Kid Flash said.
"You will be relieved of looking after the Helmet of Fate." Zatara said
"To this guy? Nice introduction by the way." Robin spat out.
"He doesn't belong on this team." Superboy growled out.
"It would appear that he was able to prove himself more than worthy in combat. And I understand that his proficiency with his powers is not to be taken lightly either." Batman said, nodding slightly to Zatara. Whom nodded back, smiling.
"Without the helmet what good is he?" Artemis asked disgusted, apparently.
"I happen to be good enough. Thank you very much," 'Doctor Fate' said coolly, his voice being much deeper than when he first spoke.
"My king. How can you expect us to just work with him. He just attacked us!" Aqualad attempted to reason.
"If I recall, you were given the order to attack by Batman and thus, the first to attack," Aquaman said.
"And it looks like it wouldn't have mattered, judging by the state of this room, he was just toying with you," The Flash said, he had burst out laughing, but became solemn once he felt Batman's gaze on him.
"What! How could he be toying with us. We're the best of the second best!" Kid Flash shouted, throwing his hands in the air
"Being our partner's doesn't make you the best. It just means you have more training." Martian Manhunter stated, "It would appear, however, that no amount of training could have prepared you for this."
Miss Martian appeared to want to say something, however she bit her lip.
"You will do well to get acquainted." Batman said, in his 'this decision is final and was never up for debate' voice, he made a grand sweeping motion and walked out of the hall with the other Leaguers, whom bothered to spare a glance at their partners.
Miss Martian collapsed into Superboy's arms, 'Doctor Fate' ran over, muttered something under his breath, his hands, glowing, ghosted her skin, and her skin began healing.
"Thanks," she said, standing up again.
"No problem," he said, smiling, "er, sorry about the living room. I'll put it right." His eyes glowed white, and there was a flash of blinding white light. When they all opened their eyes, the room was exactly as it had been when they entered it.
"I'm Miss Martian. But you can call me Megan, or M'gann," M'gann said, smiling at him, as she outstretched her hand, and he took it. Her teammates exchanged nervous glances
"I'm Superboy, and my 'name' is Conner Kent," Conner said, outstretching his hand, when 'Doctor Fate' took it, Conner probably attempted to crush his fingers, yet 'Doctor Fate' smiled obliviously at him.
"I am Aqualad. My name is 'Kaldur'ahm', but my friends refer to me as 'Kaldur'," Kaldur said, as he too outstretched his hand. 'Doctor Fate' shook it, then looked hopefully at Robin, Kid Flash and Artemis.
"I'm Artemis," Artemis said as she hesitantly shook his hand.
"I'm Robin, and the moron over there is Kid Flash, but you can call him Wally." Robin said, shaking Doctor Fate's hand.
"So, er, I suppose I should tell you my name too? I'm Doctor Fate. My birth name is Devlin Dumbledore; but I've legally changed my name to Christopher Ma when I moved here. Either name is acceptable," Christopher said, with a faint British accent.
"So, you do 'magic'," Wally said, placing air quotes around 'magic'
"Yeah? What of it?"
"It can't be! There's no such thing as magic!" Wally shouted. Christopher's eye colour changed green, his hair blonde and his hair grew to waist length, he grew taller, his figure more masculine.
"You're telling me there's no magic?" He asked, yet his voice was completely feminine and high-pitched, he returned to his previous stature.
"Shape shifting! And it's very possible that you used a machine that changes the pitch of your tone!" Wally said exasperated.
Artemis rolled her eyes and walked away from living room, "Welcome to the team, kid."
Megan and Robin did the same; however, Conner and Kaldur seemed to be interested in where this was going.
"Never expected a person as good-looking as you to be close minded. I didn't shift my DNA, I changed it. If you had killed me in that instant, my DNA would not return to normal; it would stay as I put it, because I changed it; not shifted it." Wally gaped at him.
"What? What did you just say?" Christopher looked at him weirdly.
"What? I just said that I changed my DNA not shifted it."
"Before that." Wally said making hand motions, as if it helped his current intelligence.
"What? The close minded thing? You are."
"No, no, before that!"
"...that I think you're good-looking?" He asked.
"Ar-are you gay?" Wally asked.
"...if I were?" His eyebrow was raised, probably higher than any normal person's was possible.
Wally sputtered some incoherent things, "charming," Christopher said.
"Wally, it matters not if he is gay. He is now a part of this team and apparently a formidable force. I am looking forward to see how you will do on our side of the fight." Kaldur said placing on Christopher's shoulder before he and Conner too left.
"A rose for you, sexy," Christopher said, as he gave Wally a rose which he had conjured out of thin air. He then winked at a bewildered Wally and walked out of the room.
Hope you like the intro~ And yes, his last name was once Dumbledore~ (What? If Young Justice can mention Dumbledore, so can I!)
Like I said before, request a pairing for this fic. The most popularly requested pairings (With certain exceptions, for example should Waltermis and Wally/Roy have the most requests, then obviously I cannot write both at the same time, so I'll probably dabble with one pairing, break it up and then have the other pairing or something like that, your opinion counts~) will be written. (Also like I said, Team pairings (including Roy) only)
Tell me how I did with the "fight scene". Probably my worst type of writing~ Won't that be fun for the duration of this fic?
Also, tell me if you want me to keep it Third Person Objective, or change to Third Person Omniscient/Limited or First Person with alternating Persons narrating each chapter. However, as this is a "show" I felt like at least one chapter should've been Objective.
If you have any questions about the current limitations about Christopher's powers and abilities feel free to ask me~ I have his all abilities and powers (and his limits on them) worked out =D
If you like, feel free to check out my other stories~ (Though I warn you, all my other stories are severely different from this, almost all of them are SLASH romances, though two do not contain slash~ (Drink and Teddy Bear and Kaldur Romance Collection has two non-slash chapters)
