Batman uttered a response and I looked over to see he was on the ground again completely sprawled out.
"Bats are you alright?" I yelled as I helped him up, then I ran after the fleeing Music Meister. He ran back up the stairs but I jumped right over the ledge then pounced and tackled The Music Meister with a grunt. He tried to sing but I shoved a hand over his mouth.
"I just want you to know I have new earplugs, I just don't want you talking." I hissed in his ear and he made muffled noises before he bit my hand. I drew my hand back sharply yelping and The Music Meister rolled over, pushing me off of him. We both scrambled to our feet and The Music Meister had a half-smug, half-pained expression on his face.
"What happened to our lovely duet?" He asked and I sneered at him.
"I don't sing." I growled and the pain in his expression grew more.
"That's so untrue," He cried, "your voice is wonderful!" I gave him a smile dripping with sarcasm and I lit a fireball in each hand, ready to take him down.
"That's flattering, unfortunately I'm working with Batman today." I remarked and he smiled at me, the gap between his teeth showing. He raised his baton staff and swung it at me, but I raised a hand and he froze.
"What did you do?" The Music Meister cried and I grinned.
"It's called telekinesis stupid." I answered. I took a few steps closer, arm still raised and I looked closely at the details of The Music Meister's sneering face.
"What?" He asked, the word dripping with venom.
Should I do it? I thought. Should I ask? Should I do both? I worked up the courage and I grabbed his hat off his head to examine it.
"Oi!" He exclaimed but I shushed him, ran the feather between my fingers, and then placed the hat delicately on my head. He gasped in horror but I ignored him as I struck a few poses, including some I'd seen The Music Meister pull before.
"Is that supposed to be me?" The Music Meister laughed mockingly and I chuckled back before placing the hat back on his head.
"I just have one question," I asked him, my silliness now gone, "Just before when I was basically being forced to make out with the ground, you were grinning." The Music Meister was looking at me with minimum interest, but he was still looking at me, meaning he was listening.
"And the only way I could describe it would be an evil grin." I continued, which he actually chuckled at and summoning all my courage I got to my question.
"Why do I think it's so familiar that I thought…it was mine?"
The Music Meister was staring at me in surprise, but before he could utter any response Batman called out behind me. I quickly remembered something and pulling a spare pair of sunglasses out of my pocket I slipped them into one of The Music Meister's pockets. He looked at me confused but I smiled.
"You'll thank me later." I whispered before jumping off the stage and walking towards Batman. He was holding something in his hands and as I came nearer I saw it was a small notebook with my signature on the cover.
"Hey!" I yelled as I snatched it off of him and shoved it in my belt's pouch.
"Sorceress." Batman said flatly.
"Yeah I know I snapped but I don't like people touching my stuff." I explained but Batman just shook his head.
"Weren't you using your powers to freeze The Music Meister?" Batman asked and I realised what he was saying.
"Aw shit." I groaned as I turned around to see The Music Meister standing freely behind us, a triumphant grin on his face.
