Music Meister looked around for the fifth time, still worried about Sorceress. The plan did indeed seem fool-proof, but the fact that Sorceress could be hurt or (dare he say it?) killed made his concern extremely appropriate.
"I'm bored." Music Mistress remarked, breaking Music Meister from his thoughts. All three were sitting at the base of the mountain, doing exactly what Sorceress had instructed them to do…absolutely nothing.
"I have to agree with you there." Music Meister agreed before his smile faded and he looked around for Sorceress again.
"But you're worried about Sorceress." M.M. remarked, and Music Meister looked at his other self.
"Yes."
"I understand." M.M. continued, moving closer to Music Mistress and putting an arm around her, "I know I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to my nightingale." Music Meister gave a tiny smile, but he didn't really feel better. There was a period of silence, before M.M. spoke up again.
"Can I ask you something?" M.M. asked, "Could you tell me, and Elizabeth of course, how you and Sorceress became…"
"Partners?" Music Meister finished, then sighed as M.M. nodded, "It was almost a year ago now. Sorceress used to be a crime fighter, but was very unhappy and mistreated. But when we met each other, neither of us could get the other out of our minds. Six months after our first encounter, Sorceress came to the theatre I call home. I convinced her to join me, and we've been together ever since."
"I knew we would be…" Music Meister finished, "Ever since-"
"You heard her voice." M.M. realised, eyes growing wide.
~O~
Sorceress stood at the very peak of the mountain, staring at the sky with a determined expression.
This plan will work. Sorceress assured herself. She raised both hands to her mouth, cupping them like a megaphone, and yelled out to the sky.
"BAT-MITE!" Sorceress shouted at the top of her lungs, "I WANNA TALK TO YOU, YOU HORRIBLE LITTLE MIDGET!" Sorceress waited, but nothing happened, and she frowned.
"WHAT? TOO LAZY TO GET YOUR ASS OFF YOUR COUCH!?" Sorceress taunted with a smirk. Previously having access to the batcomputer's files paid off once again. Sorceress's smirk widened as she saw dark clouds rumbling in the sky, showing that she was managing to piss off the little reality-warper.
"I GUESS SINCE BATMAN WOULD NEVER ACCEPT YOU, YOU HAVE TO PICK ON fairly INNOCENT PEOPLE!'
That did it. The dark clouds gave off a single flash of lightning, the brightness forcing Sorceress to close her eyes, and when she opened them again Bat-Mite was floating in front of her with the angriest expression Sorceress had ever seen him give.
"Hi." Sorceress greeted with a smile, but Bat-Mite only continued to glare.
"Horrible little midget, am I?" Bat-Mite asked, clenching his fists.
"Well yeah." Sorceress shrugged before her arm snapped out, freezing Bat-Mite where he was.
"What?" Bat-Mite exclaimed, looking down at himself with confusion, and Sorceress smirked again.
~O~
Music Meister heard a soft whoosh and practically jumped to his feet as Sorceress floated down from the sky, landing in front of Music Meister, M.M. and Music Mistress.
"Well?" Music Meister asked, and Sorceress grinned as she raised her arm, a frozen Bat-Mite floating in the air with a scowl.
"So that was your plan." Music Mistress said with a smile, "Force Bat-Mite to set us free." Sorceress's grin only widened, eyes narrowing slightly.
"Not exactly." She replied before gesturing with her free hand, "Gimme some room." Without needing any further instruction Music Meister stepped back, signalling for M.M. and Music Mistress to do the same. Sorceress turned to Bat-Mite and raised her free hand in front of his face. Her eyes glowed the colour of fire as her hand glowed as well, before the glow of Sorceress's hand faded and she shivered.
"Are you alright?" Music Meister asked, taking a step towards her just in case.
"I'm fine." Sorceress replied quietly, looking at her hand, "I've just…never felt this much power before…" Sorceress lowered her other arm, Bat-Mite dropping to the ground with a thud, before Sorceress clicked her fingers. Lightning flashed in the sky from dark clouds, and Sorceress looked at her hands again, like she had when she first discovered her powers. She clicked her fingers, lightning flashed again, and Sorceress's eyes widened with amazement before she turned away sharply from the other three.
"Sorceress…?" Music Meister said with concern after a moment, and to his shock and surprise, Sorceress started laughing manically.
