It's Evie's turn. Kudos to those who may have guessed who her father is but there's a bit of a catch to her situation...

*UL*

So it wasn't long before the girls began to wonder about the other half of their parentage.

Evie first tried her magic mirror.

"Magic mirror in my hand, I am the daughter of which great man?" She chanted on her bed. The glass fogged up per the norm but cleared to reveal...a bunch of static? "Rats!"

This wasn't the first time she'd asked nor the only way she'd posed the question. Since it was Saturday she had the whole day free. And she'd been at it since lunch. So about 2 hours with nothing to show for her troubles.

"What am I doing wrong?!"

"Well, maybe you need more power." Mal called from their bathroom. "I tried to cast my own spell to figure out my dad but all I did was burn a hole in my dresser top. It's possible our moms or our dads put the info on magical lockdown. If that's the case we have no hope of cracking the blocking spell ourselves."

In the days since the coronation, the daughters of the Evil Queen and The Black Fairy had learned that they were capable of magic beyond rhyming to a mirror and complex spells and potions at the same time the guys were discovering they had any magic at all. Of course, what was aided by a talisman or already written down proved more reliable still it was rather exciting stuff. To know these were THEIR gifts, not hand me downs from dear old mom. Still, they held on to the looking glass and spell book because they could still be useful. Not for sentimental reasons. That would be just silly.

Mal enjoyed telekinesis and had begun her own spellbook mainly because everything in her mom's was either for manipulation, destruction or other dark deeds. The hair thing had come from a vanity phase Maleficent went through in her youth with her long violet locks. Then they were burned away in a scuffle with another dark fairy over territory and well, that led to her signature horns. Upon discovering her gorgeous hair was forever ruined, her rival came down with a bad case of rotting skin. It eventually cleared up though- when it all melted off her bones after a year of unbearable agony. That had been a favorite of her mother to tell as a bedtime story. Her quest for creating her own brews had the side effect of making her a confectionary diva. Though some were still too wary to eat any of the treats she made. There was also a mild ability to create lightning but she figured that one should be practiced sparingly...

Evie found she could use any reflective surface to channel her magic. Even create portals if it was big enough. Still she seemed to have developed a green thumb. That was a bit of an understatement. If she were to walk barefoot across grass or soil, all sorts of flora would sprout up in her foot path. Doug observed that her mood dictated what grew. Positive emotions caused fragrant flowers and sweet fruits like berries and amazingly melons. She started small garden with school permission to practice that even had a small apple tree growing in it. Likewise negative ones produced all manner of really nasty stuff like poisonous mushrooms, hemlock and briars. Touching a tree could cause it to burst into fruition or make every flower close up and revert to a bud. While she got the hang of it, she wasn't allowed to go barefoot outside and had to wear gloves too. Which she instantly made an elegant fashion statement.

"What about Fairy Godmother? She told us they looked into our histories before they let us off the island." Evie asked after thinking a bit.

"Did you see her face when she was forced to tell Carlos?! Mama Odie let it slip about Jay but she seems kinda loopy anyhow. I already tried to ask her and all she would tell me is Jane and I have something in common. I doubt we're half sisters so... I'm stumped. All I know is the four of us prolly got picked because there's something darker to our heritage than we know."

"May-be..." Evie smiled deviously.

About 20 minutes later the witchy duo were in the boys' dorm with Carlos explaining their idea to the newly realized sorceror. With de Vil staring at them with completely unimpressed by said plan once they laid it all out.

"Come on it's brilliant!" Evie beamed. A single white eyebrow raised. Lifting the hand previously rubbing Dude's belly he slowly drug it across the space before him. The air rippled like a surface of water, leaving green words in it's wake.

[You do realize I'm more likely to shatter your mirror than actually be helpful right?] It read. Evie's brilliant plan was to have him amplify her mirror's power with his own. Of the four, he had shown the greatest magical strength so far.

Well that wasn't totally true; more like the best impulse control. Jay had blown up a vending machine that refused to spit out his ChocoLoco bar two days before. He swore it was an accident but AJ had been helping him figure out his family secrets so that's debatable. Then he would neither confirm nor deny causing the (thankfully vacant) stands to collapse at practice last night when Chad's cronies decided to use unnecessary roughness with both pucks and sticks. It seemed the result of his folks powers mixing yielded a tendency to cause bad luck or jinxes. For such a delicate operation, they needed a boost of a less explodey type. And Jay was kinda cleaning the cafeteria in detention for destroying school property, so there was that too.

"Come on. We know you can do it." Mal urged. "We believe in you."

[Mixing magic is dangerous. You know that Mal.] He rolled his eyes. [But... give me some time and I might be able to do something.]

"You're the best!" Evie squealed throwing herself at him.

So the next week, the girls showed up again. This time Jay was there. When they burst in, brimming with excitement...

WHAM!

"My nose!" Evie shrieked grabbing her face. She'd bounced off an invisible barrier that flashed red at the moment of impact before vanishing again.

"Dammit! Knock first!" Jay grumbled. "Well now I know it works, just stay still."

Halting his push ups and getting off the floor he walked up to them. With both index fingers he drew a rectangle roughly the size of a door and snapped his fingers. The barrier then shattered into red sparkles, which seemed to annoy him.

"What was that?!" Mal growled checking her best friend's blood nose and summoning a (hopefully clean) towel from their bathroom.

"Those asshole groupies of Chad's keep trying to get in here and mess with us. Dunno why Carlos is even bothering to try and wake the fucker up. Anyway, forgot you were coming. Sorry."

"Sorry?! Jeez!"

[Since you're already gushing like a geyser, I need you to bleed on this.] Carlos held up a black candle.

"Ew. Why?!" Mal gagged.

[There's a saying that blood calls to blood.] The words changed with a hand wave. [So I figured we could use it to find your dads.]

"That sounds...weird." Mal eyed the candle.

"Tried it on ourselves, It totally works ladies.' Jay called as he disappeared into the shower.

Complaining the whole time about the ick factor, Evie obediently leaned over the wax column once the white haired boy sat in in the center of a strange diagram on the the table cloth drawn in some kind of pale yellow powder. Her friend then slowly lowered his own face to it and pursed his lips.

"Tell me you're not gonna-!" Evie gagged. Just as he gently blew on the wick to and a small green flame lit it up. "Oh."

He looked like he wanted to say something then decided it was too much effort instead motioning for her to ask her question.

"Um hi little green flame...thingie. I was just wondering if you could tell me who my dad is since all I've ever met is my mom."

At first the flame didn't react. Then it flashed brilliantly and not one but two faces appeared above the fire. One of a lovely black haired woman with warm chocolate eyes and pale skin...that most certainly was NOT Grimhilde at any age. And of a grey skinned man with beady black and yellow eyes, a mouth full of daggers...and flaming blue hair.

"That's unexpected." Mal whistled.

*UL*

Yup. That's Hades. And his hostage wife Persephone. Who is never mentioned by Disney. Ever. Weird right? It only gets stranger from here on out.

About their powers:

Evie has similar powers to Persephone; to control plants. Wonder why. Also there's style of stone framed mirror called Persephone.

Mal has so far only shown powers Maleficent has shown in her various incarnations.

Jay is pretty much exhibited things Mirage and Jafar can do; mainly really destructive shit. He likes red but no so much the glitter effect.

As for Carlos, voodoo uses cornmeal and ash to create intricate patterns used in various rituals.

Yes I am basing some things on actual concepts but still adding my own spin.

What other surprises are in store?

Love it? Hate it? Let me know! Reviews are like hugs! Sirensoundwave out!
