Do not own!
As always Blue's civilian outfit is on my profile!
Mount Justice.
August 19, 19:39
The girls stood in one corner watching Kaldur and Superboy train.
"Kaldur is uh nice don't you think. Handsome, commanding, you should totally ask him out!" Artemis told M'gann.
"He's like a big brother to me! But you know who'd make the cutest couple? You and Wally!" M'gann grinned. "You're so full of passion and he's so full of…"
"It?" Blue offered and the three started to laugh.
"What about you Mini Manipulation riding on the back of Robin's motorbike during the Amazo mission? You two were pretty close."
"Hardly!" The girl huffed. "Superboy trashed my bike. And besides he's like my brother we have the same dark hair!" Blue grinned.
Their attention was brought back to the boys training when Superboy threw Kaldur to the ground.
"That had to hurt." Blue shook her head as Red Tornado blew in.
Literally he blew in.
"Do you have a mission for us?" Kid Flash asked.
"Mission assignments are the Batman's responsibility."
"Yes but the Batman is with the Robin doing the Dynamic Duo thing in Gotham but you're headed somewhere right!"
"If we can be of help." Kaldur said agreeing with Kid Flash.
"This is Kent Nelson." Red Tornado said as an elderly man's face lit up the screen. "A friend. He is one hundred and six years old."
"Guy doesn't look a day over ninety." Wally said.
"And he has been missing for twenty three days. Kent was a charter member of the Justice Society, the precursor of your mentors Justice League."
"Of course was Earth's sorcerer supreme he was Dr. Fate." Blue nodded. "Right?" She asked Kaldur.
"Right." He nodded.
"Cool. Gold star to one in blue!" Blue smiled.
Wally was actually rather sceptical. "What a fake, guy knows a little 'advanced' science and Dumbledore's it up to scare the bad guys and impress the babes."
"Kent may simply be on one of his…walk a-bouts…but he is caretaker to the helmet of Fate the source of the doctor's Mystic Might and it is unwise to leave such power unguarded."
"He's like the great sorcerers priest and priestesses of Mars I'd be honoured to help find him." M'gann said and Wally's hand shot up instantly.
"Me too! So honoured I can barely wait…magic….rocks."
Red Tornado held something up for them. "Take this. It is the key to the Tower of Fate."
"What are the chances that we both so admire the mystic arts?" Wally grinned at M'gann.
"Oh boy…" Blue sighed giving a face-palm.
-BIO-SHIP-
"So Wally when did you discover your honest affinity for sorcery?" Artemis asked.
"Well I uh I don't like to brag but before I became Kid Flash I seriously considered becoming a wizard myself."
"You smell that?" She asked Superboy who frowned and raised an eyebrow. "I smell Bullshit." She continued and he cracked a small smile.
That in itself was a victory."
"We've reached Tornado's coordinates but…."
Salem.
August 19, 20:22.
"Nothing's there." Superboy finished.
"Take us down." Kaldur ordered that they landed.
"Kid Flash do a lap." Blue told him.
"On it Baby Blue!" And he sped off to the sound of…
"Don't call me that!"
He returned minutes later. "Nothing this isn't simple camouflage."
Artemis stated a logical nice and scientific explanation for the missing tower which Wally began to agree too…
Until he saw Miss Martian.
"Absolutely…not…clearly Mystic powers are at work here."
"A test of faith…" Kaldur suddenly said. "Stand behind me."
"I can do that! This place is creepy." Blue nodded.
Kaldur walked forward and INSERTED THE KEY INTO AN INVISIBLE KEYHOLE!
And the Tower of Fate appeared.
"¡Dios mío!" (My God) The twelve year old muttered.
They went in.
"Uh where'd the door go?" Superboy asked.
A spectral image appeared of Kent in front of them.
"Greetings." It said. "You have entered with a key but the tower does not recognise you. Please state you're purpose and intent."
Isn't that the same thing?
Oh whatever.
And before anyone could stop him…Wally talked a load a crap about being 'true believers' and how they are here to find Dr. Fate.
The image disappeared and the ground collapsed.
They fell down toward….lava?
M'gann grabbed Wally and flew up, Artemis took out a collapsible crossbow from her pocket shooting a rope up hanging onto it she swung and grabbed Kaldur who had already grabbed Blue and swung them onto a ledge.
Superboy almost went into the lava but managed to stop though his boots were melted.
"Those were my favourite boots. This Nelson guy better be worth it."
"Having trouble staying up….I'm so hot."
"You certainly…"
"Wally don't say it! If I'm gonna die I do not want one of the last things I hear to be a lame pick-up line!" Blue shouted.
"Inches above sizzling death I'm entitled to speak my mind!" He shot back.
Kaldur rubbed his forehead. "My body and M'gann's are expectable to extreme heat. We must climb out quickly."
"Hello Megan! We never truly answered the question….Red Tornado sent up to see if Mr Nelson…and the helmet were safe."
The lava was covered instantly by a platform and they were safe to land on the ground.
"This platform…should be red hot but it's cool to the touch."
Of course Artemis and Wally would start arguing.
"Wally you don't believe?" M'gann asked after Artemis dropped a bombshell.
"Fine! Fine! I lied about believing in magic! But magic is the real lie a major load!"
"Wally I studied for a year at the Conservatory of sorcery in Atlantis the mystic arts created the skin icons that power my Water Bearers." Kaldur said.
"Dude have you ever heard of Bio-Electricity? Hey in primitive cultures fire was once considered magical too! To me it's all just a bunch of tricks."
"You're pretty close minded for a guy who can break the sound barrier in his sneakers." Artemis stated.
"That's science! I re-created Flash's laboratory experiment and…here I am!"
Everything can be explained by science."
"Let us test that theory." Kaldur went to open a track door.
"Wait the back draft from the lava will roast us alive…"
He opened it. And snow came out.
"Do you ever get tired of being wrong?" Artemis asked.
They jumped through.
"Well?" The blond asked.
"Ever hear of string theory. We're in a pocket dimension."
"What's that?" M'gann asked.
It was a cane…floating in mid-air.
"Oo maybe its Nelson's magic wand!" Wally said speeding over to it.
At the exact same time both he and Artemis grabbed it.
"I got it! Uh! I can't let go!"
They shot up to the sky and in a flash of gold light they were gone.
"Uh…what do we do?" Blue asked.
"I guess we start walking."
"I don't understand Wally. It's like he needs to believe the impossible can happen."
"Wally uses his understanding of science to control what he cannot comprehend. Acknowledging the existence of magic would be to relinquish the last vestige of that control."
A door appeared out of nowhere in front of them. "So creepy door anyone?" Blue asked and they went through it dropping out in front of a bell, Artemis, Wally and hey look! Kent Nelson!
"Friends of yours?"
A shot of light blue electricity was fired at them.
"Friends of yours?" Wally asked him dodging another hit.
Nelson and Wally went into the bell…
Yes into it while the others took care of the other guy.
Abra Kadabra.
But he shot them with his power encasing them in some cybernetic electric field.
"Wally we're in trouble. Tell Kent we need Doctor Fate…" M'gann's voice sounded in his head.
After a few more minutes of being trapped the technology used to trap them (and Abra's clothes) disappeared.
"Shows over." Superboy stated and punched him in the face knocking him unconscious.
Mount Justice.
August 20, 03:48.
They reached home and Blue yawned. "Come on." Kaldur said.
"What?"
"Piggy back I'll take you to your room."
"Uh you sure I don't wanna be a bother." She said frowning.
"You're exhausted. Go on its fine."
"Uh…okay…." She slowly got on his back. "Night everybody."
"Night Blue."
The Atlantean carried the manipulator to her room but by the time he got there…
She was already asleep.
He put her on her bed and took off her shoes turning out the light as he left.
"Goodnight Blue."
So yeah there you go! Hope you liked it and Please review! They make me happy since I can't walk due to the fact my ANKLE STILL HURTS!
On the plus side I'm the queen at hopping on one foot now!
