Chapter 70
Under her younger sister's tutelage, Lena had finally begun to accept her heritage and embrace her inner mystic power and Zatanna had to admit, she was impressed by how much skill Lena was showing. Despite her disposition towards science, she seemed to show a natural affinity for magic. Maybe more so she did.
"I have to admit Lena, you're progressing a lot faster than I expected you too. You really seem to have a true affinity for the mystic arts." Zatanna said as she watched her sister train in her pocket dimension, since Zatanna had decided that their family's pocket dimension was the safest place to train Lena due to the threat of the Wizard and it because it would allow them to train without risking the structural integrity of the Island or risking innocent lives, since powerful magic training like this could harm people until the user was able to properly control it. Her father had done the same thing to train her.
Zatanna still couldn't get over how much Lena looked like their mother, especially wearing their mother's combat gear. It was honestly a little unnerving.
"Yeah, I have to admit, I never really saw myself as the mystic type, even as a kid I always scoffed at the magic club in school, thinking it was a pathetic waste of time. And now, here I am, learning real magic. And basically betraying everything I was taught growing up." Lena said.
"I'm pretty sure that you started betraying everything you were taught growing up the day you started dating an alien and not just any alien, but a kryptonian who happens to be the cousin of your brother's greatest enemy." Zatanna said with a chuckle.
"Point taken. But still, if you'd told me a year ago that my life would be all this, that I'd not only discover that my old college rival was actually Supergirl and that I'd be dating her, have met my biological father and discovered I have a sister and that my whole family is apparently magical, I'd have laughed in your face." Lena said, since it was crazy to think about how much her life had changed since that reunion.
"Yeah, still, you've come a long way in a very short amount of time. It's honestly pretty impressive. Your magical aura is stronger than anyone else I've ever seen. It's almost as if there's more to it than just you." Zatanna said, since she couldn't deny that there was something different about Lena's magic. Something different about it. Almost like it was an older, more powerful strand than any other magic on Earth. She just couldn't figure out what it was.
Lena was about to respond, when suddenly, a swirling green portal opened and two people stepped out of it.
One of them was a woman dressed completely in some kind of golden armor, including a mask covering her face and her hair was done up in a ridiculous way and she had dark pink sleeves on.
The other intruder was a man who was dressed like a cliche magician, complete with the hat, tuxedo and even the cheesy mustache.
And he was a man who was familiar to both Lena and Zatanna.
"How did they get in here? Especially the man who's responsible for our father's death?" Lena asked Zatanna while praying to no one in particular that she was ready for this fight.
"Mr. Mustache is the reason, since my dad used this same space to train him. That traitor." Zatanna said.
"I am the Wizard you silly girl. And I swear I'm looking at your mother, even though she died years ago." the Wizard said as Lena glared at the man, who was the reason she'd been separated from her biological parents.
"And who's your friend? I'm assuming she's the reason you were able to bypass my security wards, since we installed them particularly to keep you out." Zatanna said as she glared at the Wizard.
"How rude of you not to introduce me. Though my name has been passed down throughout the ages. I am Morgaine Le Fey." Morgaine said smugly.
"The witch from Camelot?" Zatanna asked, since while she'd known Morgaine was real, she'd never expected to meet her.
"Yes. Death means nothing to a mistress of the dark arts such as myself. And I've come here for her." Morgaine said, pointing towards Lena.
"Why me?" Lena asked, though she couldn't deny there was something familiar about Morgaine, but she couldn't place why.
"Because of the threat you pose to my plans. You already possess some skill, but you have yet to truly grasp your true power and I intend to ensure that you never have the chance." Morgaine said as she sent a blast of magic at Lena, who just barely managed to conjure a purple mystic energy shield in time to block it.
"How did you do that?" Zatanna asked, since that shield was far stronger than anything she'd taught Lena to conjure, not to mention she did it without saying a word and spells were usually a verbal game.
"I don't know. It's like I'm acting on some kind of instinct I didn't even know I had." Lena said, looking just as confused, but they didn't have anymore time to think about it as they both had to go on the defensive, but before anyone in that dimension could do anything, there was a bright flash of golden light that took the form of a golden ankh as Doctor Fate appeared out of nowhere.
"Enough." Doctor Fate said.
"No, not you." Morgaine said, since while she knew it was a different user than the one who'd worn the helmet in her day, she recognized the stench of Nabu even after all these years, since despite how powerful she'd become, she was still weary of the Lords of Order, since they were some of the only mystics in the universe whose power could still supersede her own.
"You do not belong here, sorceress. You were foolish to come to a place where I could sense you after staying hidden for so long." Fate said.
"I will not be denied." Morgaine said as she attempted to blast Fate, who simply blocked it.
"Be gone, both of you." Fate said as his hand glowed and both attackers vanished from the sight.
"Where did you send them?" Zatanna asked.
"Back to Earth. And now I need you both to come with me. I believe I have someone who can answer the questions I'm sure you have." Doctor Fate said and Lena and Zatanna both nodded, since it was clear that while Wizard was still out for revenge, Morgaine had some kind of vendetta against Lena too. And they needed answers about why.
