Also,I have been advised to back up this story because each chapter contains song lyrics. While I am aware that this is frowned upon, the singers whose’s songs I use are credited first before the lyrics even seen. My disclaimer clearly states that I own no part of this story other than the plot and original characters. I’m not claiming any credit for said songs and the first two chapters explain that I also do not claim to know exactly what the song writer meant, that these are my interpretations. I am also encouraging readers to please listen to the songs I mention so I fail to see what the problem is. It is up to them to do so for free on legal sites that allow it, purchase the songs or whatever. I am not advertising anything and do not get paid for mentioning groups/bands or their work. If that counts as advertising, then this site should be shut down in it’s entirety. By that definition, our stories are all advertisement for the fandoms they are about aren’t they? Yes they are.
So long as we don’t claim to own what we are working with, it should be okay but, I understand this site’s admin is...picky (yeah, let’s go with that) with how and when they enforce rules. It’s not fair that there are stories that have been up since the 90’s that violate every single rule and have yet to be removed but at least 5 of my recent fave authors have disappeared because of minor infractions. So, this entire story will be available on mediaminer and adultfanfiction by midnight tonight just in case. If it is delete here, I will repost it without the lyrics but is my opinion that I shouldn’t have to.
My next update might not be for a while, one of my patients is very sick and I can't devote as much time to writing and still care for them properly. Wish me luck.
Okay! This chapter's gonna be a bit wordy. Will have mostly dialogue (and some action but not much). Nabu deeds begin to come to light and everyone learns that nothing has been the way they thought for some time. After the obligatory pointless back and forth of course.
Plot and anything you don't recognize, mine. Everything else belongs to their respective creators/writers/artists. There are too many to list. Just know I make no profit off of this and shut up about it...m'kay?
The Offspring help us out again, this time with You’re Gonna Go Far Kid.
Chapter 16
You’re Gonna Go Far Kid
Slowly out of line
And drifting closer in your sight
So play it out, I'm wide awake
It's a scene about me
There's someone in your way
And now someone is gonna pay
If you can't get what you want
Well it's all because of me
Now dance fucker, dance
Man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
Now you lead the way
Show the lie today, nice work you did
You're gonna go far kid
Trust and see!
"Why are two of our enemies, a strange lady and the guy who KILLED us an hour ago here? This makes no sense." Connor grumbled.
"It's complicated.” Wally started. “You were never meant to know really. But somebody just had to take the least helpful route.”
“That’s means it wasn’t some whacked out dream. You did try to kill me with that dagger.” Zatanna frowned. “ All this time I’ve been suffering and you were totally pulling the strings. You colossal douche!”
“Zatanna, we do not know if any of this is true just yet. Nabu should explain himself.” Artemis folded her arms. “I am not the only one who thinks so am I?”
“Artemis is right. Man it sounds weird to hear you talk like Kaldur.” Megan sighed. “This whole situation is less than whelming.”
“I think everyone should explain. Starting with you all.” Batman stared at Lady Gaia. He still didn’t trust Fate, but at least he had some experience dealing with him. This woman and her group were complete unknowns. Especially after how Wally and Dinah greeted them. Or rather Pollux and Virgo.
“Leave it to the Bat to be the one to make demands.” Castor rolled his eyes. “Seeing as I don’t really care what happens next, can I leave- er...” He looked down and Sylphine was standing very close to him, looking up with an angry expression.
“Shut up. You’re already in trouble as it is. Don’t make it worse.” She huffed. It sounded odd; she was so tiny ordering around someone way bigger than her. To the shock and further confusion of many, the witch boy’s mouth snapped shut.
“Whipped.” Sagittarius chuckled. Castor glared at him.
“Perhaps as a show of good faith, you should reverse the spell Tari dear.” Lady Gaia gestured to the teens. “After all it was only meant to be an exercise is the danger of ignoring one’s feelings.”
“Yes Ma’am.” Sagittarius held out his hand and a single gold arrow appeared in it. Instantly everyone was on guard, taking battle stances. Sagittarius let out a long sigh. “Relax, I’m not gonna shoot anybody. Sheesh.”
With that, he simply snapped it. The Young Justice Team glowed white. The aura’s collected in a single swirling ball over their heads before it exploded sending streaks of white light directly at each member. Everyone affected was knocked on there asses. Except Wally/Pollux and Dinah/Virgo.
“I am myself again.” Kaldur flexed his arm.
“That was so weird.” Raquel shivered.
“No offense Robin, but your mind is really scary.” Megan said.
“Yeah, yeah. Thanks for undoing your mojo but what is going on here?” Green Lantern kept his ring powered up.
“Nabu, if you’d like to explain first go right ahead.” Lady Gaia motioned to Dr. Fate. The regal aire about her was very reassuring, despite the heroes not having any clue who she was.
“...” Fate remained silent. The entire room was looking (or glaring hatefully) at him. To tell the truth he wasn’t sure what to do. These...creatures out numbered him considerably. Angering them in such close quarters would be suicide. Retreat would do little to help him either. It would only confirm their lies about him being the villain here. The only option would be to tell his side, omitting a few details of course. “These beings are called the Zodiac Knights. According to them, their mission is to provide balance in the universe. Lady Gaia’s title is Guardian of Reality. The three known previously to us as Wallace West, Roy Harper’s clone and Klarion the Witch Boy are her sons. The others are their servants.”
“Did it hurt that much to say?” Pisces smiled. “You sound constipated. What about your meeting with Our Lady? Aren’t you going to tell them she tried to tell you something horrible was about to happen?”
“Lady Gaia told me nothing of the sort. What I gathered from our brief meeting was that she wished for the identity of her children to remain a secret for this game they play.” Dr. Fate snarled. “I honored that request.”
“That you did. But, you also took my words and twisted them to your own ends. Which is why I did not trust you with the whole truth. We never meant to cause any of you trouble; for that I apologize. My children and their attendants are called Chaos Mages, and for eons, we have watched over this reality making sure it continues to exist. It is not our place to interfere in the lives of those residing here. Unless something happens to disrupt the balance. The sheer number of powerful beings in this realm caused the balance to sway dangerously. To prevent this, I laid the foundations for the two most powerful groups in this realm to come to be. Yourselves, and the Light.”
“So you admit that you have less than peaceable intentions.” Nabu spoke. “You just said that it was you who pitted the League against the Light.”
“Don’t get too full of yourself Fate.” Pollux said. “Mother started out with minimal direction of events. You escalated things to the point we had no choice but to get involved and show ourselves. Yeah, it’s true I’m not really Wally West. He never existed. The child that would have been him originally died in the womb; smoking and drinking til one passes out on a regular basis has that effect on developing child. I should thank you though Dr. Fake. If not for you, I’d still be bound to never show my powers. I can actually protect the people I care about.”
“The Justice League and the Light would have formed on their own eventually. All I did was insure that they happened around the same time. Would you have preferred a different roster, still lead by Al Ghul and Savage but established before Superman or any other founder was even born? That was one of the many possibilities, I assure you. Before you continue in this pointless debate, remember Nabu why Kent never put the helmet back on. He saw what the world could become if I did not act as I did. If you had tried to change things.”
“You showed Kent what you wanted him to see-” The Lord of Order maintained his position.
“Digging your heels in until the bitter end I see. Sit down my dears, this will take some time unfortunately.” The pale woman waved her hands and several chairs, one for each person in the room, materialized near everyone. Smoothing out her robe, she sat down. The other Knights followed suit. Pollux and Sagittarius turning theirs around so they could lean forward on the backs. Sylphine ignored her chair, instead plopping down in Castor’s lap. Gabriel put his feet up in her spot.
Dr. Fate stared disdainfully at the plush seat that popped up next to him. It was probably enchanted to trap him or any other foolish enough--
“This is soo comfy!” Zatanna giggled. The stupid child thrown herself into the chair without a second thought! The Flash poked his to be sure it was real before doing the same.
“Yeah...” He agreed. “What? We’ve been standing around twiddling our thumbs for over an hour and there’s few other places to sit. The cave’s only furnished for 8 or 9.”
“This could be some sort of trap Flash. We just met these people. Their true selves any way.” Icon didn’t sit down either.
“Look I know he lied, like a lot, but I’ve always known Wally was a strange kid. Just turns out it’s way more than I thought. If they really wanted to kill us, they wouldn’t have wasted all this time yammering away at us.” The speedster said. He smiled a little when he saw Pollux look at him in shock. “ I’ll bet my paycheck for a year that we were never in any danger during the whole Starrotech debacle, were we?”
“Nope. That was actually done for three reasons. One to let you see that the Light existed, to show you how powerful they really are and it was an attempt to make you realize things aren’t always as they seem. It was suppose to scare you knit-wits into at least coming clean with each other about the things you’ve been hiding. Kinda like an ‘if today was your last day’ deal. But nooo. Dr. Fate had to screw with that too.” Castor said. “Didn’t you notice anything weird about how you felt boy scout?”
“Er...no. Wait. I was proud of Super boy...I mean Connor’s actions that day. Then I just wasn’t anymore. I’m not sure why.” Superman mulled over his own words as he talked.
“That’s because Fate saw through the ruse, as we expected. However, the hope was he would then share with you the dire straits we were all in, especially after knowing that Starrotech worked on him, a magical being, as well. But, he chose to divide the teams even further because he saw our actions as a hindrance not a help.” Pisces said as she crossed her legs.
“Hold it. Fate’s ego is the reason we’ve all been tip toeing around each other for half a year?” Robin finally spoke. “Then what about the fact that you were trying to kill us that day? And succeeded today?”
“Rob, didn’t you guys wonder why the chips were so easy to counteract? Even though it had been ‘perfected’ over an extensive period of time? Cas left a back door in the programing on purpose.” Pollux grinned. “As for today, you guys did die but only to make the swap less painful. Tari ripped out part of your souls and dumped them into someone else. That would have been way more traumatizing.”
“Gabriel and Sylphine were here to make sure we were all revived.” Batman said. He studied how the small girl smiled and her brother nodded sharply. “It does seem rather convenient that two powerful kids with magic would show up right when we needed them. So, who are they? More of your children Lady Gaia?”
“Uh, no. We are Chaos Mages from another reality. Mama Aurii decided that we deserve a vacay after all the crap we’ve both been through. We came here to spend time with people we missed.” Gabriel yawned, looking as disinterested as he could. “Time between realities doesn’t exactly flow like it does within em. We recently dealt with something that lasted billions of years in one location and none at all in another. Time is an abstract concept kiddies. Einstein was right about relativity.”
“So, what is it you’re trying to prevent?” Aquaman asked. “And why did some of us have to get knocked around to do it?”
“Well, to understand, think about this. There are many splinter realities attached to a main reality. It’s why the CSA exists in that other world you saw. That world is a shadow of what could have been. Changing it had no lasting effect here. But deep inside you all knew that allowing them to cross over into this world would have caused serious problems. That it could cause irreparable damage. If you snuff out the light casting the shadows, everything goes dark but rearranging the shadows does very little to affect the light.” Gaia paused, seeing a sea of perplexed faces. “Perhaps I should start by explaining how I came to be, hm?”
*I am bum...bum...bum...a line break!*
