So I have finally gotten around to the first chapter!

I imagine updates will be random because of College.

Most of this was done before school and during the few hours I have between getting home and sleep.

So enjoy!

Chapter One

I had been skeptical of magic but now I know that my open minded approach was what helped me with learning the spells that Nabu taught me. There were many things to learn: incantations, of Order and Chaos, Nabu's own history, the list went on. It almost seemed like time stood still but even as much as I had learned, it was nothing compared to all the spells that Nabu had at his fingertips. I realised that the first time I placed the helmet on my head and he had been able to show me more of his power. It was strange, watching my body controlled by someone else but Nabu was accommodating and when there was the chance, he listened to my opinion on things. And after our first outing as Doctor Fate we returned to my home and removed the helmet.

"Kent," Even when not wearing the helmet it often seemed that I could hear the voice of my mentor.

"Yes, Nabu?" I asked, getting up from my desk and walking towards the helmet.

"Our presence is needed."

"I can't, I'm meant to be having a date!" I protested, remembering what Inza had said would happen if I missed it. She had been trying to take me out for the past month now and she had told me that if I did not make it to one more date she would come over and drag me out by the ear and make me go shopping for a dress. Despite this she was a perfectly lovely lady even though Nabu did not understand how I felt about her.

"Over one hundred lives are at stake. Wotan has returned. This requires our attention far more than Inza requires yours." Nabu enforced and I sighed as I walked over to the Helmet of Fate.

"One day you should really do something fateful and pick a day for me to take Inza out without having to mysteriously disappear before hand." I told Nabu as I picked up the helmet and slipped it over my head. There was never any point in arguing with Fate. As the helmet was placed on my head I felt my soul being dragged out of my body as Nabu took control and I settled down to watch. I had gotten used to this although in truth we had only been Fate on about five occasions. Raising my arm, Nabu opened a portal to whatever location he was going to bring me to and walked forward when there was a knock on my door.

"Kent! You better be here-" Came the voice in Inza. She was early, probably trying to catch me out.

"Nabu, just this once, can you allow me to go out with her. Surely there are others who can deal with Wotan." I said as I stood in the vastness of the helmet.

"That is not acceptable. We cannot allow Chaos to reign. However I will permit you to have some time with the woman." With that, Nabu brought my body through the portal and closed it behind him. I doubted I would get much more of a conversation as I looked out at the scene before me. It was undeniably something that I should have paid more attention to. The blue skinned magician had summoned a storm around him, lightning coming from the high powered winds and striking at any objects within their reach; human or otherwise. I did have to agree with Nabu - something had to be done about this situation.

"Wotan!" Fate declared as we flew up so we were level with the magician.

"Fate, you think you are any match for me! I have discovered secret scrolls of Chaos that even you cannot hope to counteract!" It was a bold claim and as the storm continued to throw lightning around with no target, I realised the full strength of destruction that was happening. No wonder Nabu had sensed it all the way back in Salem. Raising our hand, we summoned an ankh, the golden symbol growing larger and trying to encircle the magical storm and drain it of its power. We could feel the strain of the magic and it was not often that the strain was felt by both of us.

"Nabu, have you ever faced something like this?" I asked out into the darkness, my teeth gritting. There was no response. The spell was requiring all of Nabu's attention and so I gave it my best. Despite this, our spell broke, the symbol shattering and we were thrown backwards towards a building. I hated this part.

"Argh..." I said as the pain lashed through my body from the impact. Sometimes I did wonder if Nabu ever felt any of this pain; he always seemed to get up from these attacks a lot faster than I would. Raising my arm, he created a shield in front of us, stopping a blast of lightning.

"The magic is young, it is not something that I have faced but it is no match for us. Order will triumph." Nabu said, answering my earlier question in the small respite before we took to the air again.

"The people, Nabu, we need to get them out!" I said, noticing how Wotan now seemed to be focusing his attacks towards the population. Nabu said nothing but I could feel his action as our magic again began to flow, placing many golden ankhs between the lightning and its targets. The ankhs took in the lightning and shot it back out at Wotan. However, his storm took care of that, the winds blowing around him and directing the lightning back out.

"I thought you said you could do something against this!" I told Nabu as we had to fly backwards to avoid the force of the storm that was trying to drag us in. Strangely enough, my ancient Egyptian friend did not answer me this time. Raising my arms, Nabu fired golden energy towards the winds. This time the energy wasn't fired back but the storm showed no sign of weakening.

"Need a hand, there?" We turned our head and looked at the new voice. There was a man with a red shirt with a green oil lantern on it. He wore a dark cape with a high collar and a mask. I searched my mind as I tried to figure out if I had seen him on the news before.

"The situation is under control." Nabu answered for me.

"What? You haven't been able to do anything yet, Nabu. A little help couldn't go amiss. I don't want to be thrown into another building!" I protested, although Nabu ignored me, raising a shield as a bolt of lightning shot towards us.

"Nice save." The stranger replied, looking towards the storm before point his hand and creating what looked like green lightning. Like our attack, it did not pass the storm that surrounded Wotan but did not get reflected out.

"Some power. Do you know whoever's started this?"

"His name his Wotan, he is a powerful sorcerer. The situation is under control. You do not need to be here," Fate said and I knew that Nabu could be stubborn.

"Nabu, I do think we should accept his hep." I told him as I stood in the helmet.

"However I will accept your help if you do decide to stay and take action."

"That wasn't too hard." I told Nabu although I did not get an answer.

"Do you know what will stop this Wotan, then?" the man asked, moving people out-of-the-way with a large green hand. Meanwhile, Nabu started a more difficult spell compared to the simple ankh magics that I was used to him using while inhabiting my body.

"Do you have a plan of action or can I give it a go?" The man asked politely, reflecting more lightning from the population.

"Do not speak. Concentration is needed." Doctor Fate said as he focused our magic. Then he began to channel it and I could feel the tug as it began to move away from my heart (the core of magic) and to my hand. It build up there until Nabu released it, directing it against the storm, the magic pulling the winds back until they became calmer, unable to produce any lightning.

"What? No!" Wotan protested as Nabu's magic slowly ripped apart the storm and left Wotan open, drained from the spell he had just performed. The magic Doctor Fate performed was great but it had barely taken from his magical supply although I felt drained.

"May I?" Asked the man and Doctor Fate dipped his head. With that, the stranger pointed his ring and tied up Wotan in the strange green light. With that going on, Fate took us to fixing the ruined buildings, putting things back in place, returning a shattered window to its former condition, replacing bricks broken from the lightning hit.

"I'm Green Lantern, by the way." The stranger said and we turned to look at him, like us, Green Lantern was fixing the broken area.

"Doctor Fate. I will take care of Wotan." Nabu said, looking towards the now captured wizard, wrapped in green energy, including one around his mouth which would prevent him from uttering any spells.

"You been in the hero business long?" Green Lantern questioned, ignoring Nabu's lack of communication.

"Long enough."

"I haven't seen you around."

"I don't do public appearances."

"Focus on facing magical opponents, huh?"

"I fight the ever-present tides of Chaos."

"Doesn't sound too different from me. Where will you take Wotan?"

"To the Police Station after placing a spell on him to keep his magics bound."

"Mind if I come? Make you that you keep your word and such."

"Your presence is still not needed but we will accept it if it is needed."

Green Lantern nodded in response to us and I watched as Fate focused on his magic once more and a golden ankh appeared on Wotan's mouth before fading away.

"How long will that keep him from using magic?" I asked Nabu, not aware that he knew of such a spell.

"A few months. When needed we must face him once more and cast the same spell." Nabu replied, while Green Lantern started to speak before the Lord of Order had finished.

"So, do you know where the nearest Police Station is or should I lead the way?" Green Lantern asked, still holding Wotan within the green energy.

"You may lead the way." Nabu said, following Green Lantern was Wotan was pulled along, several inches above the ground and I began to wonder what Inza would do. No doubt she'd be attempting to take me shopping for dresses and then I would be dragged along to another save-the-world-from-Chaos-Day.

There we go.

What do you think? I'm always open for comments.

You know it makes sense. ;)
