Hello everyone welcome to the next chapter in this story.

.

The fresh air around Central City was certainly a good change of pace for Zatanna. The house of mystery was always too dark and muggy. It felt good to finally stretch her legs. The magician's assistant and Constantine were walking along a fairly busy high street. Constantine eventually led her to a magic shop named 'Kent's Magic imperium'. It was slightly worn down, though still in acceptable condition. The male magician tried to enter, and was met with a locked door.

"Funny, its way past opening hours." Zatanna noted. Constantine used a spell, to unlock the door. The shop was full of everyday magical items, such as cards and wands. Nothing spectacular really stood out. John however instantly made his way towards the backroom. The magician's assistant soon followed him. Though Zatanna soon wished she hadn't. She gasped at the sight of a deceased older gentlemen. He had grey hair, white skin and wore a magicians suit, similar to her fathers. John looked slightly emotional as he closed the gentlemen's eyes.

"Goodbye old friend." Constantine whispered his final farewell.

"Who was he?"

"Kent Nelson, an old ally of mine and your father's. He is... was in a battle with throat cancer. Seems he's finally lost it." Both magicians fell silent, not wanting to disrespect the dead. Until the smoker remembered his objective. "Before we go, i have a favour to ask you." Zatanna curiously looked at him. "Kent kept a golden helmet hidden around here. I need you to help me find it." The female nodded as they began their hunt.

Dick glumly sat in the batcave, staring at the monitors. The computers were still trying to pinpoint both fugitives. Gohan was training below, while Kara entered the room with a glass of orange juice.

"I thought you might need this." She offered the boy wonder. Who took it and drank a sip.

"Thank you." He added, causing a smile to appear on the Kryptonian's face. For Dick however, he couldn't escape from the look of misery.

"Don't worry, we'll find him."

"I know it's just... I can't lose him." A tear fell down the young boy's cheek, before wiping it off.

"He means a lot to you."

"After my parents died, Bruce took me in. He gave me food, water and shelter. In these last two years, I've learnt more than I ever have. I owe him everything." Kara sat down opposite her friend, eager to learn more.

"You've never actually mentioned your real parents." Gohan smiled, remembering all the happy memories he cherished.

"We were acrobats for the Gotham circus. Our act was known as the Flying Graysons. One night everything was going to plan... Until the support rope snapped." Kara noticed the pain in his eyes. "Bruce was watching the performance that night. He knew what it was like to lose your parents at that age. So I ended being adopted by him."

"I get it. I joined the most evil army in our universe to save my father. I didn't succeed, but I'm confident you will." Dick smiled as the two hugged.

"Thank's Kara."

"What are friends for?" The two looked down at Gohan who accidentally obliterated a punching bag. The half Saiyan looked around nervously, not spotting the crowd observing him.

"I do envy him. We've both lost most, if not all our family. It's good to see he still has both mum and dad."

"What I envy most is his hope and optimism. He reminds me a lot of Kal and..." All of a sudden Kara stopped speaking. Dick didn't have to be a detective to know something was wrong.

"Is something wrong?" Kara instantly snapped back into reality.

"Yeah everything's fine." Dick knew she was lying, but decided not to press any further. At that point the batcave started to flash red. Gohan joined the other two at Batman's computer.

"I'm guessing that the computer has located them?" Gohan said.

"Yeah. Zatanna and her friend were just spotted in Central City." Dick added before heading into the batwing. The engines roared as he flew off towards his destination. Gohan and Kara flew right behind him. However the Kryptonian was getting slightly impatient.

"We can go faster than this. Why don't we just go on ahead?" She asked.

"Do you know the way?" Gohan sarcastically retorted.

"Touché."

.

John and Zatanna were still scrambling for the missing item. It had been thirty minutes, and still they came up empty. The magician's assistant continually hummed to herself in boredom. She practically heard each second tick by slower than the one which proceeded it. Staying inside the house of mystery was better than this. At least there she could practice her magic.

"Wait a second, if you knew the helmet was located here, why are we still searching?" Zatanna questioned the more experienced magician.

"Me and Kent haven't been on speaking terms for a very long time now. Your father was supposed to be the one to inherit it. Now that he's been captured, it's up to me." Constantine explained.

"So what's so important about this helmet?"

"It contains the spirit of an ancient sorcerer called Nabu, or his made up name, Doctor Fate. Anyone who wears its end's up being the avatar of Nabu. If you put that helmet on, your handing Fate the keys. However after Kent put it on, we realised that Nabu doesn't like to share bodies. He kept the helmet on, effectively taking away his free will. Eventually Fate was in a battle with the evil sorcerer Felix Faust. Faust managed to find a way to steal Nabu's power. So before Faust could finish the job, Fate released Kent. Me, Kent, Astra and your father managed to defeat Faust. We became the Guardians Of Fate, making sure no one else would have to suffer like Kent did." Zatanna couldn't help but be fascinated by this story. There was so much that her father refused to tell her. So much that she could learn about. The two continued their search, until Zatanna found a medallion with an Egyptian Ankh symbol on it.

"Didn't realise Kent was a fan of ancient Egypt." John rushed over when he heard his counterpart, inspecting the medallion.

"Well it's not the helmet, but it's a start." He continued to inspect the medallion, soon he noticed an inscription on it. "Speak the name and enter." The female smugly took Kent's medallion and attempted to complete its task.

"Doctor Fate!"Zatanna expected see a light shine, or the room to disappear. Yet there was nothing. The magician was tacked aback by the lack of anything. "Nabu?" Again nothing happened. "Kent Nelson?" Once again there was nothing but silence. John eventually became bored and stole,the medallion off her. He knew the answer, but didn't want to say it.

"Astra." Zatanna was left dumbfounded when the medallion started to glow. It flew from Constantine's hands and smashed into the wall. Which then proceeded to crumble away. Zatanna was speechless as she witnessed every brick drop one after another. Eventually a dark room appeared on the other side. The only thing of note was one pillar, holding up an a golden helmet. John stepped forward and picked it up. He walked out, using a spell to fix the broken wall. "We have what we need, let's go." The two were about to walk out when Kent's door knob started turning. The sudden crashing of that locked door certainly gave Zatanna a fright.

"What are we going to do?" The two stepped backwards as Constantine performed a spell on them.

"Invisibility spell, stay quiet!" The female magician simply nodded as they watched. The door suddenly flung opened and revealed then intruders.

.

When most people went out to run. It was usually to stay fit, or forget about something. However when Barry Allen ran, it was neither of those. He ran to be a hero. Ever since the Flash revealed himself, Central City had not stopped supporting their newest saviour. The mayor was now considering having a bank holiday, known as Flash day. One day a year when Central City would gather and celebrate their Scarlet Speedster. All his life Barry had never been this beloved by anyone other than Joe and Iris West. Now an entire city treated him like royalty. The speedster didn't even drop a sweat as he stopped to look at a large television screen.

"Leonard Snart, Aka Captain Cold was bought into police custody late last night. Snart was attempting to rob the Central City bank. However his plans were thwarted by the Flash. Once again Central City is indebted to this mysterious man." The newscaster reported. Barry took pride in his work. The attention he received was certainly intoxicating. As he continued his run, Barry noticed several people running away. One women ran so frantically that she tripped over. Barry then noticed a car driving right towards her. Instinctively the forensic scientist used his speed to move her away.

"Don't worry, you're safe." Barry calmly said.

"Thank you Flash." She responded, hugging the man. Barry felt a little awkward hugging this stranger, but he wasn't going to complain.

"Can you tell me what is happening?" He could of course just see for himself. However Barry wasn't an idiot, he knew it would be better have an idea of the current situation.

"Some guy is waving this weird looking gun around. Police started shooting him but the bullets just bounced off."

"Thank you, now please get to safety." Before she could even respond, the hero of Central City ran towards danger. There seven policemen and women surrounded a hooded figure. Barry noticed on policewomen on the floor. He scrambled to take her pulse. Yet could only watch as the body was lifeless. The Scarlet Speedster rose up and entered the fray. Every cop lowered their weapon at the sight of Barry.

"Flash you're here!" One of them exclaimed.

"Not to worry officers, I'll handle this!" The Flash warmed them, causing each one to take a few steps back. "Just you and me..." The man suddenly fired at Barry, who only just managed to dodge it.

"I'm sorry." The man said, almost in tears. He put his hood down, revealing to be a young man with black skin and half a robotics face. Barry was certainly a little shock as he recognised the cyborg.

"Wait a minute I know you, Victor Stone right? You were being touted as one of the biggest up and coming football players in America. I thought you died?"

"Please help me." Victor sounded more desperate than ever. Barry though wasn't convinced.

"Someone is dead, I can't let you just walk away."

"Can't... control..." All of a sudden Victors cannon blasted Barry. The speedster went flying, smashing into a parked police car. Barry stood up, knowing he had no choice but to fight.
