Doctor Gotham is a warlock who has spent millennia under Gotham City. According to Zatanna, Doctor Gotham has been sleeping under Gotham for centuries and is the secret evil that has been negatively influencing Gotham for so long.

"But if he was asleep then how could he order Oscar to kill Maya?" Xander wondered.

It didn't make sense. Then he got an idea, so he got up and walked over to his bookshelf and pulled out a thick, brown book. He flicked his fingers and the magically book opened itself up to a page. He scanned the page with his finger and landed on the only group of individuals that would have enough power to do such a powerful spell. Xander quickly closed the book when he heard footsteps. He turned to see Maya enter the room coming from the bathroom.

"Why is this Doctor Gotham guy after me?" Maya asked him.

Xander went to place the book back on the shelf but decided against it knowing he would need it later.

"I mean I have never done nothing…. I mean I've been to jail a few times but that was because I fell in with the wrong crowd when I was younger, but what does this freak want with me?" she asked.

He looked at her with a raised eyebrow and waited for her to take a long deep breath before saying,

"I wish I had a real answer but I don't. I can only make an educated guess, but before I finish can I ask you a question?" she nodded her head. "Have you ever seen things you could never explain, things that don't seem real to you?"

This time she shook her head. Xander was beginning to think that Constantine was fooling him again. The last time John tried pulling something over on Xander, he lit the chain smoker's coat on fire. Xander placed the book down on the side table,

"All right, the best I can guess is that Doctor Gotham for some reason, believes that your special, and from how Oscar tried get you means he wants you dead" he said replying to her earlier question.

"So what am I going to do now?" she asked him.

Xander bit his lip. There was only one group that he knew of that could help him. He didn't really want to go to them for help because he couldn't stand one of the members.

"I mean if he keeps sending guys after me I can't go home, so what can I do?" she asks him pulling him back out of his thoughts.

Xander didn't really want to bring her with to Gotham but if it meant she would be safe, he had no choice in the matter. When he told her the news, she got up and left the room to go and pack. He waited until he heard the door close before slamming the book against his head.

"Great… the one place I didn't want to go to, now I have to go to. Ugh, I hate my life," he said frustrated as he left the room.

He came back carrying a one-strap backpack. He looked around then snapped his fingers and all the things he needed flew to the inside the bag. He closed the bag and just as he grabbed the book Maya came back into the apartment carrying a small bag.

Gotham City

Xander and Maya stood outside an old run down building. As he made his way towards the building she stopped and gave him a confused look. He turned to look at her and held out his hand to her and said,

"Take my hand, you can trust me" she hesitated at first then took his hand firmly in hers.

Xander pushed open the door and the two of them entered. Maya expected to see a very run down, dusty, dirty lobby but instead she found herself in a lively very unique bar.

"Welcome to the Oblivion Bar, the hangout for all people magical" Xander said who was now wearing his Dark Magician garb.

Maya looked around then nearly let out a scream when she saw a blue skinned creature staring at her.

"Its okay Devil, she's with me but I do need to speak with you and the rest of Shadowpact. It's about Doctor Gotham" Dark Magician said pointedly to the being called Blue Devil.

The blue skinned creature nodded his head then motioned for them to follow him. They were led to the very back of the room to a large ornate door. Blue Devil opened the door first then went inside with Maya and Dark Magician right behind him. When they entered the room Dark Magician saw that the rest of the group was already there waiting for them. He wasn't surprised to see Detective Chimp smoking a pipe as usual. The rest of the group besides Blue Devil and Chimp consisted of Enchantress, Nightmaster, Nightshade, Ragman, Warlock's Daughter and Zauriel.

"You said you wanted to talk to us about Doctor Gotham?" Detective Chimp asked.

Dark Magician pulled his hood down then said,

"For some reason Doctor Gotham is back and for some reason he wants this woman. I don't know if he wants her dead or alive" the group was quiet, then Ragman said,

"The only people powerful enough to revive Doctor Gotham is Strega and the Pentacle"

Xander nodded his head then said,

"Where can I find them?"

"River Rock, Wyoming" replied Nightshade with a grim look on his face.

Xander stood up then looked around and noticed Maya was sitting down with her head in her hands.

"We can look after her if you want" Nightshade said.

Xander nodded his head then made his way over to where Maya was sitting, he crouched down then placed his hand on her shoulder making her look up at him with tears streaming down her face.

"Your going to stay here for a while, they will look after you, don't worry, Doctor Gotham will never get his hands on you and I will find out what he wants with you" he said as he took out a colorful handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to her. She nodded silently and wiped the tears away.

Then he stood up and started walking towards the exit. As he neared the door he pulled his hood over his head and exited the room. Dark Magician made his way through the bar to the front door. He stopped for a brief second before walking out of the front door. He looked around then saw what new city the magic had brought him to. He smiled.

Welcome To Utah.
