in this chapter Lynn is still twelve and she starts receiving treatment from Parella but she lives on the street. Keep in mind that I still need a love interest for Lynn and suggestions are welcome! The flashbacks are set in season one so Dick Grayson is still Robin. This is before the Team meets Zatanna so Zatara is still around.

I began to follow Parella through the dark menacing streets of Gotham. Gotham, Gotham is like a cancer spreading through the city. It gets treatment through Robin and Batman but it is not enough. There will always be crime even after the Bat is gone. Parella is an example of that. I learn this shortly. I also learn that the magical competition in Gotham is tough. I found this unlikely at first until I realized that the magic of the Gotham underground is under Batman's radar.

"Parella what a surprise. I never took you for the kidnapping type. Unless your cargo is precious in that case I should take it off your hands. Don't want it to attract any unwanted attention" A slimy voice cut through the darkness only to make the tension uncuttable.

I would later recognize this man as Nemos, a trafficker of rare magic. Humans were his specialty and I happened to be the single most wanted wanted magical being in Gotham since the...tragedy…occurred . Of course Gothamites were selfish and the wanted me as a specimen for themselves. Parella uttered a spell.

"Tes erif ot someN" the blast of fire hit Nemos but he only laughed and shrugged off an attack of that caliber like it tickled. But in his twisted, demented mind it probably did.

"Baby magic" stated Nemos as he began to chant

" wohs meht ohw I ylurt ma" in a shower of red sparks Nemos began to change. His brown hair was shortened and turned black. His pupils dilated and his deep brown eyes reddened. Klarion. The chaotic lord waved.

"I'll be back for you, argentum*" with that the evil sorcerer disappeared. Parella turned to ma and motioned with his hands for me to follow him. I was confused. I didn't know what he meant. Until my very own, personal Sarap informed me that Parella could only speak spells. Sarap sent me a memory.

Flashback-

Parella pov

I had done some bad things in my life but this was at the top of the never ending list. Nevertheless, I was proud. I had stolen the helmet of Fate. Zatara was close behind me though… Damn! He has caught up. I reacted instantly and set up a shield. I saw Zatara wave his hands and realized that I was to late. The magic struck me in the throat but part of my shield remained. Since that day I was only able to utter spells. I was selectively mute.

End flashback

If Parella could not speak then how old were we supposed to communicate with each other. How on earth could Parella cure me if I did not understand what he was trying to tell me?

I saw this dilemma yet, I followed Parella through the darkness. Eventually, we approached a small wooden shack. It did not look like much much less a place that could potentially cure me.

I was beginning to doubt that Perella could actually cure me. If Parella was as good as cheating parasites as he said he would be then why did he not have at least a house with equipment sorts of things?

When Parella turned around I saw all twisted look on his face he did not want to cure me he wanted to perform experiments on me to see how long the parasite would take hold of my body. I was scared I was frightened. So I ran. I knew that Nemos was probably with Klarion.

If Klarion was done having his fun. Well the real Nemos . Klarion probably knew where he was which would mean I would probably have to visit or track him down . I felt and overwhelming sense of dread in my stomach. Time to track down the Lord of Chaos… Yay.

So r&r please. I know this is a little late but it is still Friday! Constructive criticism is acceptable no flames. I will always update on Fridays but I would still like some words of encouragement. Thank you all for reading my story. To clear things up, Lynn is now eight. She spends ten years on the streets of Gotham before she joins that team at ten. In the second season (if I write one) she will be fifteen so I'm not thinking about pairings until next season. Sorry!

* argentum means silver (spoilers)
