Lady Returns

Talia pulled a surprisingly unresisting Diane down the corridor of stone. One of Diane's hands was pressed to her forehead, the others wrist was gripped tight in Talia's hand as they raced away from the justice brats. Talia's goon was following them, gun still drawn. They soon came to a solid wall. Talia pulled out a flashlight but there was no riddle on this wall. It was flat stone. Talia's goon glared at Diane clearly thinking the girl had led them the wrong way but Diane wasn't looking at him. Her head was spinning and suddenly a pain lanced through her temple like someone had just driven a hot iron into her brain. She stifled a scream as her world spun once more.

Talia steadied the girl as she muffled a scream behind her hands. She was shaking from head to toe. Her memories of whatever had wound her up in a coma were clearly returning, and it was nothing pleasant if her reaction was anything to go by. But Talia just wished she'd had better timing. Slowly the trembling slowed but it never really stopped, Diane lowered her hands. She still looked terrified but there was something else in her eyes. She glared at Talia.

"Can we please get this over with so I can go home?" Even her voice was shaking. Talia nodded at the wall before them.

"The room we need should be on the other side of this wall. Find us a way in and you're home free." Diane nodded and placed her shaking hands on the wall. She searched in the near complete darkness for almost a minute until she found something. She motioned for Talia to move the light closer so she could see what she had found. There was a slot in the wall, shaped like a perfect circle with a small rectangular slot in the center. Diane thought for a second then snapped her fingers and pulled the bell out of one of the pouches on the suit she was wearing. She looked down at it for a minute before Talia tapped her on the shoulder. Diane started as if she'd forgotten the woman was there and fit the bell into the slot on the wall. She turned it and the wall in front of them crumbled into dust in a matter of seconds. Without waiting for Talia Diane stepped forward into the actual burial chamber. There was a stone coffin resting in the center of the room. A statue of a woman in a long flowing dress stood at the head of the coffin as if standing guard. Though the statue itself was fully made of a white marble there was what looked to be a beaded tiara resting around her head. Talia smiled and walked up to the statue. Diane was standing in front of the statue with the coffin at her back looking up into the face of the woman with silent curiosity. Talia reached up to take the tiara when the justice brats raced into the room. The two archers took aim and fired at her henchman who went down as one arrow struck him in the temple and the other hit him in the gut. His gun went flying and Talia swore as she snatched the tiara off the statue and turned towards the children. Diane had strangely not moved from her spot in front of the statue.

"Get away from her!" Kid Flash shouted in unison with Red Arrow who had pulled another arrow and was now pointing it at Talia. Talia glared at them as the Martian and Kryptonian inched forwards trying to get to Diane. Talia didn't really want to do it but she pulled her gun and pointed it at Diane.

"Any of you make a move and she dies." The whole room shook and rocks started to fall from the celling as Talia lunged forwards in an attempt to grab Diane. A falling rock blocked her path and forced her to dive to the side. The team was forced to scatter as the rocks began falling around them. Wally and Roy made straight for Diane but the rocks made it exceedingly difficult to get to her. Talia ran for the exit. She had what she had come for and the justice brats would be too busy saving Diane to worry about her. Talia disappeared down the corridor. Once she was gone the shaking slowed and stopped. The team looked around confused.

"Well that was interesting wasn't it?" A voice echoed from the middle of the room. Diane stood there but it was certainly not Diane's voice that had echoed around them moments before. Roy stared eyes narrowed but Wally spotted what was wrong before he did. Her eyes, normally sapphire blue, were glimmering silver.

"Who are you and what have you done with Diane!" Wally tensed readying for a fight as those eyes turned to him. Then she laughed, clear as a bell.

"There is no need to fear, your friend is fine, just asleep. I am the Lady Fate and this is my tomb." The team stared at her all clearly confused, the woman smiled through Diane.

"I am just borrowing her body to make sure no one else gets ahold of my power." She pointed at Wally.

"You've experienced something similar. You were a brief host for Dr. Fate. How is Nabu these days?" Wally stared.

"Uhhh, kind of an ass. How could you possibly know that?" Diane's smile looked odd with those silver eyes.

"I can see it on you. It isn't hard to spot if you know how to find it." Roy still had his bow drawn but he wasn't pointing it at Diane, he just couldn't.

"Why did Talia take the tiara thing?" The smile widened.

"Legend says I placed my power in an artifact in my tomb, legend was correct but everyone assumed I would put it in something grand and expensive." Diane, Lady Fate, held up a simple golden bell with a wooden handle.

"They say the greatest part about magic is the illusion of it. I suppose that is true in some ways." Roy was still glaring.

"Let Diane go." She laughed again. The rest of the team was watching this exchange unsure of what to do.

"Don't worry I will. We should leave the tomb first however. My power has been holding it together all these years but I can't hold it together much longer." With a wave of her hand and a sparkle of silver in the air they were suddenly outside. The helicopter was gone as was Talia but her henchman was laying on the ground in front of them hands and feet tied though he was still unconscious. Superboy glanced around.

"Where's Wolf?" Diane raised an eyebrow.

"Wolf?" Superboy nodded.

"He's my friend, we had to leave him behind in the tomb when he couldn't fit through the tunnel." Diane nodded, silver eyes still glowing she waved her hand and a very confused dust covered Wolf appeared in front of them. He huffed and sneezed then ran up to Superboy before rushing over to Diane and smelling her his tail wagging. Diane ran a hand through his fur smiling slightly. Then those silver eyes turned to the sky and the smile widened. She took a deep breath.

"It is so good to see the sky again, even if it is through another's eyes." Roy glared at those silver eyes as Diane sighed.

"But the world doesn't need me anymore, magic isn't what it used to be in the world. It is time I passed on." Those silver eyes shimmered as she turned to Wally smiling wide. She tossed the little golden bell to him which he caught in surprise.

"Your friend will be alright though I fear she will be very stretched emotionally when she wakes up. I wish you all luck, I believe you will need it." M'ggan stepped forwards.

"Do you know who wanted your power? Who sent Talia Ah Ghul after you?" The smile vanished.

"I suspect it was the same one who is responsible for my death. I do not know what his name would be now but in my day he went by Clarion. Good luck." Before any of them could say anything silver light poured out of Diane's eyes and then vanished entirely. Diane stood there shaking for a moment before her knees gave out and Wally ran to catch her. She was already out by the time she landed in his arms.
