Chapter 15
Ladies and Gentleman
Ladies and gentlemen please
Would you bring your attention to me?
For a feast for your eyes to see
An explosion of catastrophe
Like nothing you've ever seen before
Watch closely as I open this door
Your jaws will be on the floor
After this you'll be begging for more
Welcome to the show
Please come inside
Ladies and gentlemen
(2x)
Boom, do you want it?
Boom, do you need it?
Boom, let me hear it!
Ladies and gentlemen
Ladies and gentlemen good evening
You've seen that seeing is believing
Your ears and your eyes will be bleeding
Please check to see if you're still breathing
Hold tight cause the show it not over
If you will please, move in closer
You're about to be bowled over
By the wonders you're about to behold here
Welcome to the show
Please come inside
Ladies and gentlemen
So this was it.
Wally or rather Pollux was standing near the Zeta beam controls. In a few moments everything would have to be revealed.
His heart ached.
He was about to reveal that Wallace Rudolph West never existed. That his twin brother was part of the Light and Roy was actually several million years younger than him but still older than all life on Earth. As much as it hurt to know that his friends were about to hate him, there were three reactions he was dreading the most. Robin, Flash and Green Arrow.
Robin’s real mother was currently sitting in a cell at Belle Reve waiting for the signal to come meet her son face to face. Their story was complicated involving reincarnation and resurrection. Logically there should be no blood relation but there was; which was good because he knew Bruce would want proof. She lost him centuries ago to the wrath of a man she was forced to marry and committed suicide to join him soon after. She cared for him so much that she surrendered herself to be reborn as a Zodiac Knight so that he could have a second chance. Refusing to let him be a victim again, she bestowed upon him the power to affect chance and chance affect him. But how would the little bird react to learning a woman he and the Bat fought so many times was only doing so to protect him? That his best friend was a liar?
His uncle had invested so much of his time to insure that Wally became a force for good and not go rogue under stress. Barry’s worst fear was the boy would blank out and kill his father one day. He didn’t know that the Speed Force had no hold on him. That it was an act. It was so hard to lie to his face like he’d been doing all these years...
Then there was Green Arrow. He would soon have his heart ripped out in front of an audience. He was about to learn the woman he loved with all his heart was not what she seemed. Black Canary was his servant, Virgo, and had been placed in the league in order to spy on them. But love is something unpredictable and she fell for him too; despite the fact that she was far older than him. The remnants of a young Nordic girl murdered out of jealousy and spite. He was more concerned with how Ollie would treat her than himself. He did not want to take this from her; she had finally found someone she cared for. It just wasn’t fair.
Still, it had been agreed when this plan was put in place that the pain to come would be necessary if they wished to save not only Earth but their entire reality. It hadn’t been their intention to harm anyone. They all took their positions in the hopes that this world’s heroes could do this on their own; all they had to do was watch and guide when needed. Direct intervention was not their place.
Then Nabu happened; Kent Nelson became the Sorcerer Supreme fifty years ago. When the Lord of Order reawoke, he initially ignored them. For two decades the pair did nothing to aid or hinder them. One day, not long after Mrs. Nelson passed on, Nabu changed his mind and was about to confront what he deemed a witch that delighted in mayhem. Why?
A small ship from Krypton was on it’s way to earth.
A young Amazon became curious about what lay beyond the shores of Themyscira.
White Martians began their plot to take Earth as their own and be free of the Green Martian’s rule.
Ras Al Ghul and Vandal Savage met for the first time in their immortal lives.
A chain of events were sparked in Gotham that would rob a young man of his parents.
The Lantern Corp. discovered that fear was a match for will.
The spirits of two lovers are reborn on an alien world.
A newborn baby was taken from his mother, Queen Atlanna and left to die, his people believing his blonde hair to be a curse.
A young couple moves to Central City in hopes of starting their family there in a few years.
All events not directly caused but used to the advantage of her. His mother. They were going to happen regardless, she merely condensed the time frame to occur around the same time.
Lady Gaia laid the foundation for the Justice League of America to come to be. He and his brothers made sure those individuals met. Something she had the idea for when she realized this generation would yield far more metahumans, homo magi and alien powers working together than ever before. For good and evil. Her people would be able to defend their own realm even from threats beyond their reality.
However, what happened was the massive surge of fighters on both sides of the balance caused the cosmic scale to sway dangerously. Every time it tipped too far to the light or dark, the universe experienced a near collapse and strange things happened such as time travel, barriers to alternate universes thinned; people and whole planets experienced a complete remake. Sagittarius called them Cosmic Hiccups.
Despite the goofy name, they were serious and had to stop. These hiccups were draining their mother’s strength and so was something else. Something far more ominous; their ‘uncle’ Vishnu. He and their harpy ‘cousins’ wanted to rule this reality after destroying their own. The trio had thrown their home reality so far out of whack it shattered beyond repair.
A new plan was needed. Quickly.
So, taking the place of a child that would have been stillborn, he became the son of Mary West 16 years ago. Castor took the role of the bratty but powerful witch boy around the same time. Sagittarius took over the life of a boy killed in an auto wreck along with his parents three years later. Ten years after that Virgo, already masquerading as Black Canary, joined the League. Pisces used her villainous disguise to watch her child grow up; and spy on the lower levels of the Light. Epsilon would be born only 3 short years ago, when Cheshire was sent on a mission her father hoped she would not live through.
Vishnu’s idea was to create a team that would be a match for those Mother had intended to become the League, hoping that the resulting clash would hasten the process he was already using to drain their mother’s power. He and his daughters had no actual hold on anyone from Gaia’s realm so they could not directly interfere with the lives of those there. Against their will. They were using a partnership with the Light to create metahumans that they could control; cloned or otherwise. Superboy was supposed to be the leader of their army. All mindless zombies thanks to StarroTech. If Vishnu could imprison Gaia, the energy he’d been stealing from her could be used to have their reality accept him and those evil bitches Shiva and Kali as its Guardian and Chaos mages. Making the Zodiac Knights expendable.
Unfortunately, dear old uncle Vishy was bad at math. Their reality was strange because of the sheer number powerful beings that were apart of it. Instead of the standard two, there were three; Cas, himself and Sagittarius. You can’t replace the legs of a tripod with two stilts, it’s gonna fall over. Tari was born when Mother realized that the stress was too much for them to regulate alone. Without all three, the universe would unravel like a cheap sweater in the wash.
Having seen all this in a dream, Kent never put the helmet on again. The man had no interest in dying just yet and he understood if the Guardian snapped her fingers, he could cease to be. Kent was also aware that what they were doing was necessary to protect all of existence. The Lord of Order, on the other hand, couldn't conceive of such a thing. To him all magic not aligned with his own had to be wrong, unnatural.
The prick called them abominations!
And mother called him a parasite. Needing a host to anchor himself to this plane. Depriving said host of a life. Still, he might be needed for the coming battle.
So, Pollux and Castor set up his return to the mortal world. First as Pollux donning the helmet to fight Castor. Then leaving it for Zatanna to use when Cas split the world of adults and children. Resulting in Zatara becoming his permanent host to save his daughter. They had hoped that his desire to remain on this plane would make him more cooperative.
Instead, Nabu tried to set them up to be blamed for the rift developing between mentor and partner. He purposely mislead the older heroes, causing them to fear the Young Justice team going rogue when all they really needed to do was sit down and talk. That way, more would be inclined to believe him when he announced the Mages were evil beings trying to warp the younger heroes’ minds. Z's suicide was suppose to be the clincher. The dagger she kept closer to her was forged from ‘dark magic’ after all.
How's that for gratitude? Bastard was holding a grudge when so much was on the line.
So, to counter his plan, they swapped the gang’s powers and emotions. The teens had such great practice hiding their feelings when they were their own but very little luck doing so with someone elses. With the Zeta transport down, the were essentially stuck together. They’d have to talk then, right? The arrows Virgo kissed for Sagittarius prevented his and Virgo’s true powers from being passed to another. The one he’d shot at Superman was slowly eating away at the barrier Dr. Fate had merely reinforced preventing him from seeing Connor as anything more than a threat.
Right now, the four of them stood glaring at Lord of Order.
*I am bum...bum...bum...a line break!*
Barry Allen was beyond confused. His nephew had almost an hour ago managed to stun Superman with his fists. Artemis used Atlantean abilities to wail on Aquaman. Everyone’s powers had been scrambled. After Roy apparently came in and killed them all. There were two weird little kids there who had the power to heal even death. It was too convenient.
Barry long suspected this nephew was a bit...odd. Being able to duplicate the experiment that gave him his superspeed at such a young age was a clue. Wally tried so hard to pretend his life at home with his parents was fine but his eyes told anyone paying attention that he wasn’t the happy go lucky teen everyone thought he was. Those eyes always seemed so sad, so much older than they should be. Like a burden greater than anyone knew rested on his shoulders.
He and Iris had recently discussed trying to get custody of Wally. It would be hard unless they could prove abuse or neglect. Wally’s speed healing made that nearly impossible. They knew the boy was afraid to leave because he didn’t want Rudy to start beating his mother instead. When they tried to explain to him that it wasn’t his job to protect Mary but the other way around, he had screamed at them and run somewhere. They didn’t see him for 3 days. His parents barely noticed their son was missing. Now he knew that the boy's desire to escape any way he could had allowed the Speed Force to control him instead of him tapping its power. But to what end?
He had suggested that he get a KSK account but after only a week on it, he complained that things in the virtual world moved too slow. He’d simply stick with the fast paced games on his Xbox and PS3. Of course the pace wouldn’t suit a speedster. He tried to get into the game too but got bored in even less time. Both spent so much of their day trying to slow down for others that it was nice to cut loose and go fast in their spare time. Something they had in common.
Well, he was in for a shock.
*I am bum...bum...bum...a line break!*
“This is inane.” Gabriel growled. “Yo, bucket head! Got anything to share with the class?!”
Everyone looked at the little boy. Who continued to glare at Dr. Fate.
“Yes. You and your sister are not innocent children. Nor are two others in this room what they appear to be.” Nabu spoke evenly. “Possibly a third.”
“ Yeah. ‘Cause that’s the biggest secret being kept. How about the fact that you’ve been jerkin the League around just because you didn’t want to help us?” Gabriel said. His voice had far more bass than a child’s should.
“Okay...this is getting weirder than it already was.” Rocket blinked.
“Dr. Fate what is going on?” Superman asked.
“I knew something wasn’t right with that glorified bucket.” Batman muttered.
“Everyone’s waiting...” Sylphine’s voice gave the words a lilt. Then she shrugged. “Fine. Don’t talk. That report he gave two months ago was a sham. Yes everyone here has their issues to work through but Mr. ‘I’m Never Wrong’ decided that since we are such evil things, it would be so easy to blame us for the fall out. All because he could handle anything that threatened the universe all by his lonesome.”
“Lies. You are not fit to exist. Your magic is tainted. Only Order Magic can stabilize the universe.”
“So I suppose you trying to kill Z was an accident. Or Making Supes completely blind to the fact that Connor is a person with feelings was a mistake? Bullshit. Try the truth.” Wally spat, causing greater confusion.
“The truth is that you four have no right to exist! Chaos magic cannot balance anything. All you cause is suffering and destruction. Only Order can preserve the balance of good and evil. I stand by my actions as necessary. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.”
“Uh-huh. Here’s a quote that’s not a total sci-fi rip-off. Nature favors entropy.” Gabriel scoffed.
“But once it runs its course, stability reigns in its wake.” Sylphine said.
“What lurks in the shadows is not always tainted nor is all that basks in the light pure.” Black Canary spoke for the first time. Green Arrow looked at her, unsure of what to think. She averted her eyes from his pleading gaze.
“These are the only truths that cannot be denied. You’ve had your head so far up your metaphysical ass you forgot to consider there are things more powerful than you out there. And some aren’t as nice as us.” Wally sighed and turned to face his team and the League. “The truth is I’ve been lying to you all as well. But in my defense, he started it.”
The transporter whirred to life. Wasn’t it broken?

Four figures dressed in matching black robes spotted with pinpricks of white exited the beam. Leading the way was a tall woman dressed in a sky blue robe. Her skin was pale as snow, glowing softly in cave’s light. Frost colored lips starkly contrasted against her skin tone. Short wavy locks that resembled the night sky, deep blue and shimmering like tiny diamonds, framed her face while a long straight train of it with the same properties cascaded down her back. Her peach colored eyes were warm and soft.
The four behind her removed their hoods and the heroes went on alert.
“What the hell?!” Flash exclaimed.
“I thought Ivy was locked up.” Batman frowned.
“Fuck her! Why is that monster here?!” Superboy yellled. “Both of them?!”
“Aw, where’s the love? I’m guessing Dr. Fake won’t back down, huh?” The one everyone knew as Klarion laughed.
“I know you’re pissed at me but I did it for a reason you guys.” Roy/Sagittarius sighed.
“We didn’t come here to fight. We’re trying to fix the mess that one created. If he had just been truthful when he was released, this could have been avoided.” Ivy pointed at Dr. Fate. When her eyes fell upon Robin, they softened. “And for a meeting long overdue.”
“And how’s that exactly?” Superman took a cautious step forward. As did the other Leaguers present. The kids hung back, knowing if a fight broke out, they’d be totally useless.
“Why don’t we sit down and talk about this civilly.” Lady Gaia smiled. “You really don’t want to fight us. My youngest child was more than a match for you and John, wasn’t he Clark?”
“You didn’t even try to help us rescue Lois did you?” Green Lantern turned to Black Canary who was walking closer to the intruders.
“No.” She said without looking at them. “My job was to make sure Supes got shot. Hello Lady Gaia.”
“Hello Virgo. Are you alright Pollux?” The pale woman’s smile faded as she saw her son looking uneasy.
“Not really mother.” The boy with freckles and bright red hair sighed heavily, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Uh-oh. Some people have some ‘xplainin’ to do. How will the heroes react? What will become of Dr. Fate? Future Spoiler: Sylphine gets her birthday present that Castor hinted at a while back. It makes two people very happy and one Lord of Order pissed beyond belief.
Like it? Hate it? Let me know. Sirensoundwave out.
