I watched Superboy sparring with Kaldur from the sidelines, talking with M'gann and Artemis, "They've both gotten a lot better."
Artemis smiled, she'd gotten a lot nicer since the Dr. Roquette incident, "They have, haven't they? Hey M'gann, Kaldur's kind of cute, you should totally ask him out."
She blushed, "Maybe, I mean, well, I'm not sure. But you know who'd make a cute couple? You and Wally."
I giggled, "Artemis would be able to keep Wally in check all right."
Superboy managed to beat Kaldur and grinned, helping him off the floor, "I learned that from Black Canary."
Red Tornado flew into the cave, Wally excitedly ran up to him, "So? Do we have any missions?"
"Missions are the Batman's job."
Wally shrugged, "Well the Batman is off with the Robin, doing whatever they do. Now do we have a mission or what?"
Kaldur stepped up, "If we can be of help, we are here."
Red Tornado stepped over to the screens, which lit up and showed pictures of an old man, "This is Kent Nelson. A friend. He is one hundred and six years old."
Wally whispered to me, "Guy doesn't look a day over ninety."
I rolled my eyes, 'Pay attention Wally.'
Red Tornado continued, "He has gone missing. He may be on one of his little walks, but we need to be on the safe side."
"So, our mission is to find an old guy?" Wally asked incredulously.
Kaldur just shook his head, "We accept this mission."
Red Tornado nodded, then gave something to Kaldur, "The key to the tower. I'll send M'gann the coordinates when you are in the ship."
"Should I stay human?" I asked quickly, before Tornado left.
"It would probably be beneficial."
~~In Salem~~
I frowned, "Why would Red Tornado make us look for something that isn't here?"
Kaldur shrugged, "No idea. Maybe we just have to have faith." he looked at the key in his hand for a second, "Stay behind me."
I watched him walk towards the center of the empty field and put the key into nothing. Then I gasped as a giant tower appeared from nowhere.
Wally shook his head, then perked up as M'gann looked at him, "Must be, er, magic of course!"
I rolled my eyes as we followed Kaldur into the tower, and thought to Wally, 'You really like M'gann doesn't you?'
He looked at me, blushing, 'Er, uh, yes?'
A hologram popped up, of Kent Nelson, "Hello. Why are you all here?"
Wally stepped forward, "We are true believers! Here to find Dr. Fate!"
The hologram frowned, then disappeared. I blinked and said, "That didn't look good." Just as the floor started to crack.
Intense heat hit my face before we all started falling. I immediately transformed into a bird, a toucan, and thought, 'My new clothes!'
Artemis grabbed Kaldur and used a grappling hook, M'gann grabbed Wally and started flying. I cried out when I saw Superboy's feet slip into the lava, 'Are you alright?'
He nodded, but glared at the lava, "Those were my favorite boots."
I looked around, trying to find a place to land, 'Why did this happen?'
M'gann was slowly falling and slapped her forehead, "Hello M'gann! We never answered the question. We are here because Red Tornado sent us to find Kent Nelson."
The heat vanished as a metal portal slid over the lava and I slowly landed next to Superboy, 'Shirt?'
He nodded, taking it off, standing in front of me as I shifted. Artemis was chewing Wally out, saying that it was his fault we almost died and that it was because he was trying to impress M'gann by lying. I frowned, "What are we going to do now?"
Kaldur looked up from the floor, "There's a door here." he said, pulling it open.
I blinked as small white dots flew at me, then giggled, "Snow!"
Wally crossed his arms as Artemis gave him a smug grin, "Pocket dimension." Then jumped into the small opening.
Following close behind Superboy, I stared at the snow, shivering slightly. Then grinned, "I like snow."
Artemis pointed in front of us, "Is that a cane?"
Wally, Artemis, and I ran up to it, all grabbing it at once. Glaring, I tried to let go, but was surprised when I couldn't, "Wait, what's-" I screamed as all three of us, plus the cane, flew into the air, spinning faster and faster. I wondered if it was ever going to stop, just as we hit the floor.
A man floated over to us, taking the cane and pointing it at the wall, "This way!"
I stood up, quickly running after him, looking at Wally and Artemis, 'What's going on?'
They shrugged and looked up at the numbers slowly going by. The old man looked at us, "I'm Kent Nelson by the way."
"No duh." Wally answered quickly.
Artemis elbowed him, "I'm Artemis, Ms. Manners here is Wally."
Kent looked at me, "Dr. Fate will be so happy to see you again. He has missed you."
I turned around, wondering who he was talking to, then frowned, "What?"
Smiling sadly, he shook his head slowly, "You don't know who you are yet do you?"
Wally put a hand on my shoulder, "She has never met you. Unless you've been into Cadmus."
Artemis just looked at me, thinking, 'Cadmus?'
I shook my head, then looked at Kent, "I'm sorry. I think you may be a little confused."
The elevator dinged and opened, showing us a room with a giant bell in it. A rectangle appeared on the ceiling and M'gann, Superboy, and Kaldur all fell in. I smiled at Superboy, who ran forward, grabbing my shoulders, "Stop disappearing on me."
I was about to respond when a red ball of energy was shot at us. I watched as Kent used his cane to tap the bell, making it ring and start glowing. He ran through the glowing bell, so I decided to follow him. Running after Kent, I felt strange as I passed through the bell like it was a portal. Wally slid in after me, then looked up at the sky in amazement. I saw a golden helmet floating just a couple feet in front of us, Kent and Wally running up to it, then I cried out as something hit me in the side. I jumped back as another red ball of energy flew at me and Wally, "Where are these coming from?"
A cackle answered my question, "Oh Zenobia! It's so nice to see you again after all these years!"
I looked around again, then looked back at the strange boy hovering in front of me, "Who are you talking to?"
He grinned wider, "So you don't know?"
"Know what?" I asked curiously.
The boy laughed, then flew over and grabbed me around the waist, pulling me up into the sky with him, "Ha! Take that Fate! I've got your little girl!"
I tried to get out of his grasp, "I have no idea what you're talking about! Let me go!"
"She is a feisty little thing don't you think? As Lady of Protection, I expected more of a fight for your friends."
Kent shook his head, "Klaryen! You leave her out of this, you know Fate will not like this at all."
I growled, still trying to pull out of his grasp, "I still have absolutely no idea what you are talking about!"
Kent cried out, "Zenobia! Show yourself before this girl gets hurt!"
Klaryen glared at him, then shot a bolt of what looked like red lightning at him, causing him to yell in pain. I yelled out for Wally to help him, then looked continued trying to get out of Klaryen's grasp.
Something started to happen, like someone was pushing at my brain. I closed my eyes tight, "No! Stay out of my head!"
A voice spoke to me, 'Allow me to help, I won't have your body for long.'
I stopped struggling against Klaryen, 'Who are you? What's going on? Why are you trying to take over my body?'
The soft voice spoke again, 'I am another soul, using your body as a host. When I am not needed, it is like I am not here. But right now, I want to get out of this creeps arms and see my father again.'
I relaxed, 'Alright. I guess if it's only for a little bit.'
It felt like I took a step back and was watching a movie. I was in a dark room, wondering what I was doing. I watched through my eyes, seeing Klaryen get blasted backwards by purple energy, "Get your hands off me!"
Klaryen glared at me, or Zenobia, and said, "So now you decide to be feisty!"
Zenobia held out my hand, shooting purple balls of energy at him, not bothering to answer him, so I looked over at where Kent and Wally were. Kent was lying on the floor, not moving, and Wally was reaching for the helmet. Klaryen saw the helmet and flew towards it, holding out his hands to grab it, "Stupid kid, if you put that helmet on, you might never get it off!"
And Wally slammed the helmet on his head, forcing Klaryen back with his golden energy, "You have no chance with the two of us, Klaryen."
Klaryen just growled, "No!"
Zenobia laughed, "Chaos never wins!"
I stopped watching, deciding the fight wasn't worth watching for now, and went back into my mind. Except, I wasn't the only one in it. Wally and Kent were standing there, talking softly, then Kent looked up and smiled at me, "Well, that explains why you didn't know me."
I frowned and walked over to Wally, "What's going on?"
Kent frowned, "I'm dead, and Wally here put on the mask, as you saw, so we are stuck here until the fight is over."
Wally crossed his arms, "It is over. Why isn't he taking off the helmet?"
The helmet appeared in the black space-like room, "I need to keep this world at peace and sitting on a shelf collecting dust for sixty five years doesn't help with that."
I frowned, "But we need Wally back. He can't be stolen."
Another voice scared me a little, seeing as it mirrored mine exactly, "Father, you can't just take a kids body. He doesn't seem like the best choice for you either."
Wally frowned, looking around, "What's that supposed to mean?"
The voice giggled, "Nothing, Wally. Sable, you can have your body back now, and, father, give Wally his."
"The boy will find you a host." Kent spoke softly, "I will stay here with you for a few millennia, then ascend."
Wally was quick to speak up, "But what about you ascending and seeing Inza?"
Kent chuckled, "That's the good thing about eternity kid, it's eternal," a light started forming around him, and I felt myself leaving this room, Kent spoke one last time to Wally, "Find yourself your own little spit fire, someone who won't let you get away with nothing, like that-"
And then we were back in our bodies. I ran over to Wally, "Let's find the others. I don't think Superboy is going to be very happy with me for disappearing again."
~~One Hour Later~~
I was right, Superboy was angry that I had "vanished inside a stupid bell" as he puts it. But he wouldn't let me go until we got back to the mountain, listening intently as I told everyone what had happened. Wally had passed out, he was exhausted from his little adventure with the magical side of the world, and, surprisingly, still didn't believe. I sat silently in Superboys lap, trying to figure out where Zenobia had went, then jumped when I hear a voice in my head whisper, 'I'll be here when you need me.'
I smiled, then looked at M'gann, "I'm hungry. What's for dinner?"

OH MY GOSH! I am soooo sorry about how long this took to post! I apologize and offer cookies (but only to those who reviewed) Well, tell me what you think. Honesty is the best policy...sometimes...
