A/N: Okay, this chapter with essentially be just Sorceress and Elizabeth. Honestly, I'm scared that I might've made Elizabeth out of character. *Crosses fingers* Here goes nothing...
Surprisingly, Bat-Mite's play land had a day and night cycle. It must have been ten or eleven o' clock in the real world when Elizabeth stirred, hearing a noise. M.M. was lying asleep on the cave floor next to her, and on the other side of the cave Music Meister was asleep as well. Elizabeth sat up and worked the crick out of her neck before noticing that one of their group was missing.
Where's Sorceress? She wondered before hearing a quiet sniffle, and Elizabeth turned her head towards the cave entrance. Getting to her feet, Elizabeth groggily walked outside the cave to the cliff edge. Sorceress turned her head before hiding something and wiping her eyes.
"What do you want?" Sorceress asked quietly, and Elizabeth shrugged.
"Nothing." Elizabeth replied as she sat down beside her before looking at Sorceress curiously, "Have you been crying?"
"No." Sorceress said defensively, but the weakness in her voice said otherwise. Elizabeth gave a tiny smile before noticing that the thing Sorceress had hidden was scrunched up in her hand, but as soon as she noticed it Sorceress moved further away.
"Sorceress, what is your problem with me?" Elizabeth asked boldly, a little annoyed but mostly just tired and losing patience. Sorceress didn't reply for what seemed like hours before finally sighing.
"I guess the fact that you're a lot like Meister bothers me." Sorceress explained, glancing at Elizabeth awkwardly, "I'm kinda jealous of you."
"Why?"
"I don't know, just…" Sorceress shrugged before gesturing between them, "Meeting you makes me realise just how dangerous I really am, and that Meister could get hurt by being around me." Elizabeth's eyes widened for a moment before she glanced back inside the cave where the Music Meisters were sleeping.
"I never meant to-" Elizabeth started, but Sorceress held up a hand to silence her.
"I had it coming, okay. I just get really bitchy when I'm nervous." Elizabeth raised an eyebrow in confusion, and Sorceress sighed again before opening her other hand. In it was a photograph of an adult man with a dog by his side and a six-year-old brown-haired girl sitting on his shoulders with a playful grin on her face.
"That's my dad." Sorceress explained, holding out the photograph so Elizabeth could see it and pointing to the man, "And I'm the little kid on his shoulders, you know, back when the world was perfect." Elizabeth saddened as she looked at Sorceress's father, reminded of her late parents. They'd been killed in a robbery gone wrong, the exact time and reason Elizabeth discovered her own powers.
"Anyways," Sorceress continued, putting the photograph in her pocket, "I'm from Australia, and I moved to Gotham when I was like, twelve. I barely ever get to see my family but I have a flight on Saturday."
"Four days from now?" Elizabeth asked, realisation dawning on her and Sorceress nodded sadly.
"And if we can't find a way out of here, I may never see them again." Sorceress concluded before looking like she was about to cry again. Elizabeth looked at Sorceress sympathetically before clearing her throat.
"You know, I saw you save Music Meister. Your one, I mean." Elizabeth remarked, "Personally, I don't think you'd ever hurt him. Us maybe, but not him." Sorceress chuckled as she wiped her eyes again before getting to her feet (feeling had returned to her leg about an hour ago). Elizabeth watched Sorceress walk back towards the cave before remembering something.
"Thanks for saving Music Meister and I."
Sorceress stopped and the entrance before smiling over her shoulder.
"No problem." She replied simply before going back inside.
A/N: And...scene! Tell me what you thought, 'cause if you liked it it means I'll be able to put more of Elizabeth in.
Sorceress: And just to be clear, me and Music Mistress aren't like, 'best friends' now, alright?
Me: Dude, you told her about your family.
Sorceress: I was in a moment of weakness! Besides, I would tolerate Green Arrow if it meant I could get to my family.
Me: No you wouldn't.
Sorceress: Well...yeah, I'd probably kill him.
