Batman and I arrived at the west of Gotham where we were met with people dancing in the streets like ballerinas. I laughed when I saw a man in an expensive suit carrying a briefcase prancing on his toes, but I cut it short when I noticed Batman giving me a look.

"This is the work of-" He began but I interrupted him.

"The Music Meister I know I did my research."

He handed me a pair of bat-shaped earplugs and I reluctantly placed them in my ears, hating the way they blocked out sound and they were so uncomfortable. They were so many people in front of us; it was hard to see the end of the street, but I still knew exactly where we were.

"Yeah Clock King's gonna rob the bank just near here in about-" I remarked absent minded but I got another look from Batman so I shut up.

"Might wanna watch out." I said quietly just before a muffled noise came through my earplugs. I came back to attention and focused on the noise, but it was still unclear.

"Is that…music?" I asked.

Batman clenched his teeth as music filled the streets and any people that had started to snap out of their trance began to dance again, as well as sing.

The Batman is approaching

Let's play a little game

Re-run the last performance

And see if it ends the same

I could still hear the words, even though they were muffled. The citizens started rushing towards Batman and I as they heard the singing voice. I grinned at Batman before my hands burst into flame and I rose slightly off the ground, my eyes glowing faintly.

"Sorceress, we need to get past them." Batman called out and sighing I lowered back onto the ground, my eyes returning to normal. Instead of extinguishing the flames I placed my arms out in front of me and the fire burst forward like a flamethrower, blazing upwards into a large wall of fire. Batman pulled out his grapple gun and used it to swing over the wall of fire while I flew over it and I managed to get a glance of the dancing pawns, now in a conga line walking back and forth along the bottom.

Idiots. I thought with a chuckle before remembering I was here on business.

I see you have some new tricks

Or should I say a new partner

This should be interesting

Let's make it hard for her

The singing rang out again and I could hear it slightly clearer than before. I felt a little dizzy before I realised my earplugs had shifted and loosened, now barely staying in my ears so I pushed them back in before flying back down to where Batman was fighting the hypnotized people. He called out and something hit me in the back, knocking me to the ground. I swore as I heard laughter ring out and the singing start again.

Good job my dancing pawns

Now continue your fight

To be honest this new hero

Is not impressive in the slight

I rose back to my feet and knocked some people away with a fireball, then kicked another to the ground.

Not impressive huh? I'll show him! I thought.
