I couldn't use my telekinesis because I needed to move my hands to use it, but my hands were pinned in place so I couldn't do anything but twist my head away from the outstretched hands.

"No!" I cried distraught, "Don't take them out! Please!" The fingers reached inside my ears and pulled out my earplugs, taking away my last protection against The Music Meister's voice. The Music Meister sung a single note and I felt dizzy again before everything started to go fuzzy. I wasn't in control of myself anymore. I was a slave.

"Good." The Music Meister said, "Now my new pawn, sing for me." The man got off of me and I rose in a smooth motion.

The Music Meister is my new master

His control over Gotham grows ever faster

My voice rang out and a look of pure shock came over The Music Meister's face as he heard it. He smiled and walked over to me, grabbing my hand and twirling me like a dancer.

So you are a contralto

With such a wonderful voice

Gifted as a child I'm certain

As that could have been no choice

The Music Meister was singing slowly, seemingly completely unaware of anyone else.

I've never heard a voice like this before

The sound of it makes my heart soar

I have found a new song

To match my own

I had started to sing along with The Music Meister and we walked down the stairs on one side of the stage, him still holding my hand.

"Now sing a sweet duet for all of Gotham." He ordered sweetly and in my state of hypnosis I couldn't help but obey. (Note: MM sings the parts not in brackets and Sorceress sings the parts in brackets at the same time.)

Now all of Gotham will hear a song (Now all of Gotham will hear our song)

Now all of Gotham will hear our song (Now all of Gotham will hear a song)

Two voices joined in harmony (Our voices joined in harmony)

And all who oppose will fall! (And all who oppose will fall!)

The Music Meister twirled me around again as we held the last note then he sang my orders

Now to end the Batman

And be rid of my greatest foe

I'll let you have the honour

My darling contralto

I walked over to the still down Batman and lit a large fireball in my hand.

"Do it!" The Music Meister ordered and I raised my blazing hand, ready to thrust the fireball down onto Batman's head. His hand suddenly shot out and pulled a leg out from under me, causing me to fall backwards onto the ground. The Music Meister gave a shout of surprise and Batman jumped to his feet, placing spare earplugs into my ears before preparing to face The Music Meister. I opened my eyes and gasped like I had emerged from water, no longer under The Music Meister's control. I rose shakily to my feet and I rubbed my throat, which felt sore.

"Oh crap," I said with a cough, "Did I sing?"
