Second chapter here! I was going to put the second chapter up on Saturday but my computer broke and I lost all my stories so I'm going to have to write them all again but enough of me and on with the story. This chapter is mostly based on Misplaced but with a few of my own ideas too. Also thank you to The Dude Strikes Back, tigrun and the guest who reviewed the first chapter! Oh! Sometimes when I write I tent to keep changing tenses so, sorry if I do that!

NOVEMBER 5
"Good to have you back Dick, so does this mean you're officially joining the team?" asked Wally. During the past few weeks Wally, Artemis, Robin and Dick had become good friends.
"I don't know? My dad is so overprotective. I mean, you don't know what it takes just to get him to let me visit you guys. I wish he'd just give me a little space," replied Kid Flash.
Then suddenly all of the adults in the room disappeared.
"DAD!" cried Dick.
"We've set up a refugee center at the high school gym, any luck with…" asked Kid Flash.
"No! I can't raise the Batcave, the Hall of Justice or the watch, or any adult hero – even Red Arrow," replied Robin.
"I guess we're on our own, Kid Flash out."
"Traditional media's offline but kids worldwide are all posting the same thing: every adult eighteen or older has disappeared!" reported Dick.
"And so we need you to find its source," said Robin.
"How am I-" began Dick.
"I pulled this footage; it's your dad locating Wotan and the injustice league last month," interrupted Robin.
"But, but that's just the words the rest takes training and, and I'm just not at Zatara's level."
Robin smiled, "I know it's hard but try to stay whelmed, we'll find your dad, Batman, all of them – it's what we do."
Dick smiled a nervous smile back.
Dick stands in the door of Wally's souvenir room.
"Hey guys, I'm ready to try my father's locator spell."
Aqualad and Kid Flash turn and follow the younger boy out of the room to the mission room.
A big holo-globe appears in the training room. Dick walks up to it and says, "Etacol retnecipe fo yrecros!" {Locate epicenter of sorcery!}
"Coordinates locked- Roanoke Island. You did it Dick!" praised Robin.
Suddenly a boy around the age of ten appeared, "It worked!"
Aqualad being leader immediately asked the 'intruder', "Who are you? Where did you come from?"
"Wait! Read my mind!" requested the boy.
Miss Martian read his mind and gasped, "Its Captain Marvel!"
Kid Flash, obviously not believing it, objected, "Yeah, and I'm "Speedy Gonzales". Look, just because he believes he's Cap-"
Captain Marvel/Billy interrupted, "Gee, Wally. Do I really have to bring you nachos and pineapple juice to get on your good side?"
Everyone looks at Miss Martian she just give them an 'I told you so' look. After Billy explains that he can travel between the two dimensions Batman and Aqualad form a plan with Captain Marvel and Billy as their relay. With the plan the team minus billy (who returns to the adult dimension) head to Roanoke to disrupt the magic.
ROANOKE ISLAND
NOVEMBER 5
Robin and Artemis attack Klarion first but Klarion blocked the attack with ease, "that's the best you can do?" and with that Klarion shocks the two girls.
Aqualad, Kid Flash and Superboy rush forward to attack but are sent flying when Klarion put a shield up.
Dick runs up to the shield then shouts, "Etativel mih ffo eht margatnep!" {Levitate him of the pentagram!}
But of course that does nothing and Klarion counters with, "ha! Baby magic. Fi eh stnaw ot etativel os yldab, tel mih!" {If he wants to levitate so badly, let him!} And Dick is sent flying backwards luckily caught by Superboy.
Miss Martian starts attacking the shield with rocks and large chunks of earth.
Kid Flash runs over to Artemis and explains that when he was possessed by Doctor Fate he stopped Klarion by attacking the cat which Artemis responds to with, "good, not the big cat fan anyway." Then aims her arrow at the cat but when she shoots Klarion notices and turns the arrow into a ball of yarn.
Klarion laughs then speaks to Teekl, "let's show them what a familiar to a lord of chaos can do Teekl." Teekl turned into a giant cat and attacks Superboy.
Klarion winces in pain, "so you teamed up with the grown-ups. Teamwork is so overrated." Then he shoots electricity at the team. Kaldur absorbs it but Robin and Artemis are knocked out.
Dick runs up to them, "Ar-Artemis R-Robin."
Dick turns to a rock and chants, "Temleh fo Etaf, laever flesruoy!" {Helmet of Fate, reveal yourself!} And the helmet appears.
Billy returns to the 'children's dimension' to inform them about the gem but before he has time to blurt out the new information Miss Martian places a hand over his mouth and links him up to the team.
''Don't shout Billy, I've telepathically linked you to the others''[Miss M]
''That's so cool! I mean it's the gem at the center of the pentagram! Destroy it and we win!''[Billy]
"That's all I needed," says Dick as he begins to place the Helmet on his head.
"RICHARD NO!" shouts Aqualad.
"STOP!" yells Kid Flash.
But that was in vain as Dick had placed the Helmet on and transformed into Doctor Fate. Billy Shazams then goes to tell Zatara about Dick.
Klarion kept shooting a Doctor Fate who dodges them whilst flying. Doctor fates shoots at Klarion meanwhile Miss Martian levitates Robin and Artemis to safety and Aqualad tells Kid Flash to go and h pulls out his water bearers and starts hitting the shield.
Dick begins to loose hold of Doctor Fate and starts falling.
"Ha! There see when the worlds are divided the Helmet splits in two! You're not all here Nabu! And you're losing hold of that poor soon to be dead girl! Hmm, he gave himself for nothing!"
"NO witch boy! Fate decrees his sacrifice will not be in vain!" says Nabu shoots at the shield while Miss Martian and Aqualad hit it multiple times.
"NO! NO! NO!" shouts Klarion as the shield begins to break.
"NOOOO!" screams Klarion as the shield breaks and Doctor Fate throws an ankh at him and traps him.
Kid Flash runs, grabs the gem and throws it at Doctor Fate, "Doc catch!"
"Yam eht owt emoceb eno ecno erom!"{may the two become one once more!} Doctor Fate and Zatara (who's in the other dimension) chant.
The worlds merge into one and the sorcerer's fall to the ground.
"Hmph! They sure don't make evil, immortal sorcerers like the used to! Oh well!" Klarion clicked his fingers making the ankh disappear whilst standing up, "fun while it lasted, Teekl." Teekl who was still on Superboy ran into Klarion's arms shrinking on the way.
A portal appears and Klarion cackles "see you later armadillo's, unless I see you first!" then he steps into the portal.
"Aren't you gonna stop him?" asked Kid Flash.
"To what end? Klarion is chaos personified! He cannot be contained!" replied Doctor Fate.
Everyone began to get up.
"Did we win?" asked Robin.
"At a cost," replied Aqualad.
"FATE!" called Zatara, "great Nabu, release my son!"
"NO!" replied the emotionless Nabu, "with the events that have happened during the past few hours the world needs Doctor Fate and the boys natural affinities for the mystic arts makes him the perfect candidate."
"You can't do that- he has his own life!" cried Robin.
"Kent would never allow you-," began Kid Flash.
"Kent Nelson did object strenuously, so I released his spirit to the after-life. He is gone," said Doctor Fate.
"Take me instead," proposed Zatara, "my skills are already at their peak and my body is physically stronger better able to withstand the strain of your power."
"All true. But if I remove the helmet what guarantee do I have I you will don it?" questioned Nabu.
"My word. Ekat em daetsni!" {take me instead} said Zatara.
Nabu floats to the ground and takes off the helmet to reveal Dick.
"DAD!" cried Dick.
"Dickie! Remember I love you my boy."
Zatara takes the helmet off of Dick and turns to Batman, "take care of my boy."
"You have my word."
Zatara starts to place the helmet on his head.
"DAD! NO STOP! Please dad this was my fault," pleads Dick; Robin goes to place her hand on his shoulder but he pushes forward towards his dad, "DAD!"
It was too late as Zatara placed the helmet on his head and became Doctor Fate.
"Leave these to the Fate" said Nabu as he flew off with the evil (knocked out) sorcerers.
Dick fell to the ground and Robin was straight over to comfort him soon Kid Flash and Artemis joined them.
MOUNT JUSTICE
NOVEMBER 7
Miss Martian, Artemis and Robin were helping bring Dick's stuff from home into his new room at the cave.
"My room's right next door if you need anything," said M'gann softly.
"Thanks. I-er- could use some alone time ok." Replied Dick.
Zatanna saw his emotionless face and she felt really sorry for him. She just wanted to run over to him, comfort him and give him hugs, anything to make him feel better.
"Of course," said Artemis.
She and M'gann left the room straight away but Robin hesitated, she wanted to say something but couldn't find the words so she left silently.
When the door closed Zatanna heard Dick break down, it broke her heart. She knows how he feels, I mean of course she does her family died right infront of her but for Dick it's worse because Fate would be a part of the league soon and then Dick would end up having to see what is just a reminder of what he's lost. She may have only just met the boy but as soon as she saw him she knew she liked him and she was going to make sure he would be ok.
