Welcome all!
We learn that keeping souvenirs is something Light Mages tend to have in common. Wally/Pollux has his trophy case and Sylphine has her...dollhouse. Part of Pisces’ past with Robin surfaces and Sagittarius lets Oliver have it.
This chapter title was going to be from the pop hit Barbie Girl by Aqua (that annoying band from Denmark). The song is so ridiculous and the music video is worse but it fit the part of the chapter about Dr. Fate; even though I hate the song with a passion. The last day of school in 4th grade, I punched a boy in the face because he would not stop blasting it in my ear. Then I broke his CD player. It had more to do with the fact that he spent the whole school year hitting me, teasing me, and destroying my things; but he never bothered me again. And my teacher defended me to the principal. Still a win.
Then Master of Puppets played on my Pandora station like two minutes before I was gonna post. And, of course, Metallica rules so their song Master of Puppets is our intro.
As a heads up, I have several one shots and plot bunnies on the way that will be exclusive to adult-fanfiction.org. In the works first, a songfic about the mages going out on the town set to either Burn it to the Ground, Next Contestant (both by Nickelback), Bad Girlfriend (Theory of a Deadman) or Hell Yeah (Rev Theory). It will be more adult in content. I’ll let you guys know when it’s done.
Still, check Barbie Girl out on Youtube for a laugh. Pay attention to the Ken doll; he only says one line the whole song but how he says it is key. I do applaud them for kicking Mattel’s ass in court when the company tried to sue them though. They couldn’t claim copyright infringement or defamation when they already marketed the doll as just what the song was making fun of. The publicity launched Aqua internationally and forced Mattel to expand their star doll’s rep beyond the material world. Let's go.
Chapter 18
Master of Puppets
Come crawling faster
Obey your Master
Your life burns faster
Obey your Master
Master
Master of Puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master!
Master!
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master!
Master!
Master, Master, where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, Master, you promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, all I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, Laughter, laughing at my cries
Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too
"How is Ivy, Pisces, whoever, Robin's mother?" Batman wasn't going to be so easily distracted from the blatant kidnapping of his son. Too bad Sylphine ignored the hell out of him.
"What is it?! What is it?! What is it?!" She bounced on her tippy-toes tugging his arm like the child she resembled. After learning the truth about who and what the twins were, it was a bit...bizarre.
Screw that it was down right disturbing.
"Calm down Sylphy. It’s your present but it benefits others too. Seeing as Nabu is obviously abusing his position and being a prick, he did manage to give me an idea of what to give my butterfly for a present. You see, she has a cute hobby, collecting dolls.” He watched her smile grow. “Specifically living dolls.”
An outline of a a person appeared then solidified. Floating in front of him was a perfectly formed and naked adult female that looked kinda off. Her shiny blond hair was tied up in two ponytails. Her big blue eyes were flat and dead, despite being wide open and the pink lipstick smile. Her arms were rigid and even though they were formed, her fingers were all fused together aside from her thumbs on each hand. She possessed a long ballerina’s neck. Her body had no actual features beyond that.
Her breasts were just two shapely, gravity defying mounds without nipples. The torso lacked both a navel any actual curves. It just narrowed as it reached the hips. The pelvic area only had angled crease indicating something should be there if your eyes followed to the expected meeting of the creases but nothing was there. The legs narrowed unrealistically to the ankles. Her feet had no toes. They were just foot shaped and formed as if she were standing on the balls of her feet.
“It’s a giant barbie doll, ya know before Mattel made her anatomically correct.” Flash raised his hands in defense when his co workers turned to him with brows raised. “Iris collects the damn things!” He amended quickly.
“He’s right. She’s here to be Nabu’s new body. He shouldn’t have a problem with a female host. He tried to take Zatanna after all.” He bent over and plucked the helmet from Giovanni’s head, causing him to retake his former attire. He was still unconscious but that didn’t stop Zatanna from nearly mowing down Batman who had moved in front of her while questioning Robin’s disappearance. The Caped Crusader moved just in time to avoid footprints on his cape before she threw herself onto the floor beside him.
“Papa!” She cried placing his head in her lap and sobbing. “Pleas wake up...”
“He’s gonna need some time to recover Zatanna.” Virgo knelt beside her placing her hand on the girl’s shoulder. “He will be fine.” The Italian girl looked up at her and nodded wiping tears away.
“Fun fact: There’s another reason Mother kept Kent from wearing the helmet any longer than he did.” Castor twirled the helmet on his hand. “Nabu keeps himself anchored here by not only taking over the host’s body but draining their magical core too. Kent Nelson lived far longer than any other wearer; by 30 years. I actually had to used a greater degree of my powers to fight when Pollux allowed him to take control because of this quirk. It’s a little secret he never shared with his hosts. In fact, the only reason he taught the less experienced ones magic was to lengthen the time he could use them. As a thanks, Kent decided to play along when we first brought the helmet to your attention. Let’s see how Nabu likes being someone’s plaything.”
Instead of putting the helmet on the doll’s head, he rammed it into her front. The material there gave way before wrapping around it, sucking the golden helmet into the chest cavity. Slowly, she donned the trademark blue and gold of Dr. Fate’s costume but feminized and minus the head covering. Those blue eyes gained a spark of life before blinking. The happy face twisted into an angry expression once she looked around. The doll remained floating and could clearly see her former host in the arms of that willful little--
“What is the meaning of this?!” Fate barked. The mages cracked up, as the sound was not the authoritative boom but that of a valley girl without all the ‘like’s thrown in. Nabu flailed in mid air trying to get down. It caused greater laughter. Even Lady Gaia chuckled.
The heroes looked at each other as the teens mind linked.
/Okay Robin's been kidnapped, blue boy just turned Dr. Fate into a my-size Barbie and they are all cracking up. Anyone else worried?/ Raquel asked.
/This is most disconcerting. It means we fought who we belived to be Klarion for no reason as he obviously had the power to take the Helmet at any time./ Kaldur noted.
/I think we should be glad all they did to was kill us.../ Connor sighed. /Still I think for all he’s put us through Nabu deserves whatever’s coming to him./
/It's sort of odd how she acts like a child. Sylphine is powerful but.../ Megan paused.
/Odd my ass! It's creepy!/ Artemis exclaimed.
/We can hear you./ Sighed Sagittarius. /All of us can./
The team froze and turned towards him. He looked bored. Gabriel waved to show he'd heard too.
“She’s soo pretty! I wuv her Cas!” Sylphine cheered. “I already have a room for her!”
On the floor by the braided girl’s feet a dollhouse appeared. It was average size for a child's toy and looked just like a mini mansion. When she knelt down to open it, there was only one room inside. A panoramic view of a large but single bedroom furnished like a princess suite straight out of a Disney flick.
"If you're entertaining enough, she might not break you Fate. See ya, definitely wouldn't wanna be ya." Castor grinned. That cruel, manic grin that had made countless others shudder.
"What is that supposed to mean you insolent brat?! What have you done to me?!" Nabu continued to rant and rave. And it continued to be amusing (or uncomfortable) as hell.
“I’ll play with you when we’re done talking. Enjoy your new home.” The sweetness in her voice did nothing to play down the ‘children of the damned’ her eyes did next.
Anyone who blinked missed what happened next. The Dr. Fate doll was sucked into the dollhouse, screaming all the way. It took only a second before the hinges of the toy slammed shut and the whole thing vanished.
Inside Fate landed on his, now her, face. She was in the room only now everything was her size. Pulling herself up, she tried to use her magic. Nothing happened.
“That’s not going to work.” Another feminine voice sighed. He turned to see another doll, this one with red hair and brown eyes leaning against the door frame. She was dressed in a hideous pink ball gown with frills everywhere. Before Fate could open her mouth, the other doll raised a hand. “I’ve heard it all before. You’re not the first new addition and you won’t be the last honey. It doesn’t matter if you used to be the supreme ruler of you galaxy. Here, you’re just another air-headed toy.” She looked rather disgruntled by her own comparison.
“I take it that’s who you used to be.” Nabu got up and walked towards her.
“Give the gal a prize.” She rolled her eyes and started to leave.
“Wait. Tell me who you are and how to get out of here.” She commanded.
“This room? Walk into the hallway. You can go anywhere you like, just not another doll’s room. This warped fun house? Tch, You don’t. Though it might be fun to watch you try. Names don’t matter anymore, it’s whatever she decides to call you. Loose the attitude sooner rather than later. Makes things a little more bearable.” Her voice carried over the retreating clack of her heels on the floor. “Welcome to the Dollhouse, my dear. Welcome to Hell.”
*I am bum...bum...bum...a line break!*
“How do you feel?”
Robin opened his eyes slowly. Whatever had been done to him made him feel groggy. With a start, he realized he was sitting in a woman’s lap, wrapped in her arms. That voice belonged to Poison Ivy! He struggled to get free before she placed a hand on his cheek and pulled him closer to her.
“It’s okay, adar llachar*, mother’s here.” He cooed softly as she rocked him. The sound of her voice and the gentle motion drained the fight right out of him. It didn’t stop the panic of his mind though.
He scanned the area with his eyes noting that they were outside somewhere. The sky was a brilliant blue and he could hear waves in the distance. All he saw though, was barren rocky ground around them. He assumed they were seated on a large rock. The cool breeze carried the scent of salt water to his nose.
The smell was familiar. He’d been to the beach, hell the cave was on one but this smell was different. Why?
“Do you remember this place?” She asked as a wind gust swirled her cloak around them.
At first he was going to say no. How could he remember somewhere he’d never been? This was insane--where’d that bird come from?
A bird had landed on his knee and chirped at him. It was a fluffy white bird, about the size of a pigeon. Large brown eyes blinked at him before it’s short blue beak began to pick at his cape. Losing it’s footing, it flapped pathetically only to flop over further up his leg. With wings out stretched, he could see one great black dot on the center of each one. It couldn’t be.
Domino auks were extinct. A bit of otherwise useless information he’d learned in English class. Scholars had used this fact to give an approximate date for some poem written about them in the British Isles centuries ago. Did she take him back in time?!
No. Not really.
A dreadful feeling pooled in the pit of his stomach. A particularly large wave crashing made him jump. The bird flew away and he clutched Ivy’s arm like a scared little kid.
“AHHH!” The scream of a little boy played in his mind.
“Dim os gwelwch yn dda! Mae'n unig blentyn!”** A woman who sounded much like his abductor wailed. He couldn’t see anyone but the way she yelled told him a lot. She was struggling against something or someone. She cried out in agony as he also heard several blows connecting with a body.
“Mae'n felltith! Chi i mi gythraul am etifedd!”** A man raged.
A sharp pain ripped through his chest causing the boy wonder to freeze in shock. Like he had been stabbed with a blade much wider than a knife. Robin was choking, yet coughing did nothing to clear his airways. Too weak to hold himself upright any longer, he went limp. Ivy held him tighter, and all he could do was sob as something hot and thick filled his lungs, drowning him. When he felt as if he would pass out again, it all just stopped.
This land was familiar, it had been his home once. A long time ago, much early than that stupid poem. But it didn’t look like a wasteland then. This was a cliff he used to play on that looked over the ocean, covered in green grass. He remembered that it grew up to his waist but he had been much lower to the ground then. He used to chase those fluffy birds here while someone with deep red hair laughed and warned him to be careful. Until that day. He remembered who those voices belonged to now.
His mother had fought for him in vain here.
His father had murdered him here.
*I am bum...bum...bum...a line break!*
“Now, I would assume you have questions for us. Ones that do not concern Pisces and her son. When they return, you may ask them yourself Bruce.” Lady Gaia’s statement caused Batman to narrow his eyes. The Bat-glare had no effect on the woman who had all but revealed his identity.
“So...you all have been screwing with us.” Green Arrow stated more than asked.
“Not you in particular Ollie but that is a blunt way to put it. You have to understand that we were all bound and unable to blurt this out unless there was no other way. Fate’s campaign made it impossible to ignore the damage being done.” Virgo hugged herself and shrank away from his hateful stare. “It wasn’t our intention to hurt any of you. I never wanted to hurt you.”
“Too damn bad.” He snapped back. Pollux scowled and was about to yell at him but his little brother beat him to it.
“Hold it. You don’t get to talk to her like that!” Sagittarius stood up and began to walk towards him. He stopped when Virgo grabbed his hand.
“It’s alright Lord Sagittarius. He is entitled to his anger.” She whispered. Her blue eyes sparkled with tears she was trying to hold back. He shook his head.
“The hell he is! She’s still the same woman who forgave you for running around behind her back with those cheap sluts only after your cash and stuck by you when you almost lost your shirt! She’s still the same woman who spent all that time patching your sorry ass up after you got it handed to you in a fight. Her voice is a weapon but it can heal too; that’s why she sings for you. You have no idea how much this has been hurting her!” Sagittarius fumed. “Just like I’m still the smart-alec who thinks you need to fucking get over yourself, you are not the center of the universe Queen and I’ll be damned if you’re always right. She lied. I lied. And? She did it to protect you. Because she loves you, duh. Flash understands our situation. Why can’t you?”
Oliver felt as if he should expect to grow a tail and huge donkey ears to sprout from under his hood. Dinah was always there for him. In the beginning, he had cheated on her more than once. Still she took him back each time. She could have made his life hell, especially when he was injured and needed help. Instead she babied him and made sure he recovered as quickly as possible. He thought the singing was just something she liked to do.
Boy was he wrong.
*I am bum...bum...bum...a line break!*
*Bright bird
**Please no! He is only a child!
***He is a curse! You bore me a demon as an heir!
Open mouth, insert foot Ollie. Next chapter will have more action I promise. Bruce goes nuts trying to find his little bird and the real enemy makes themselves known to the League by publicly ending their partnership with the Light. Here’s a hint: Shiva is the Hindu god/goddess of destruction. Kali is god/goddess companion to that, death. Vishnu is regarded as the supreme deity (or one his/her forms). There’s some gender ambiguity in the Hindu pantheon. Still, I apologize to anyone I may offend as this is still a practicing religion. Stay tuned.
