"SHAZAM" he proclaimed, the mystical lightning struck him in the chest, returning Captain Marvel into his true form of Billy Batson.

As his vision clears and the dust from his sudden appearance fades away the preteen hero spot Aqualad being attacked by Klarion.

"It's the-"

[Don't shout Billy] Miss Martian told him as she covered his mouth. [I've linked you, telepathically, to the others.]

Billy grins [That's so cool]

Then realizing that it wasn't the time Billy's grin vanished [I mean, It's the gem! At the center of the pentagram. Destroy it and we win!]

[That's all I needed to hear] Came Zatanna's voice over the telepathic link, as a large rock fades away to reveal the Helmet of Dr Fate.

Zatanna lifts the helmet from the ground, intent on wearing the relic and allowing Nabu, the spirit of the Lord of Order, to possess her body.

"Zatanna!" Aqualad cries out, seeing the helmet in her hands.

"Stop!" Kid Flash cries.

Disregarding their cries Zatanna lifts the helmet and lifts it over her head as she went to place the helmet on her head a wave of powerful tension filled the air, causing her to still from her actions, the Helmet still held tightly in her hands above her head, she was unable to move it any lower over her head.

All the hero's and Klarion the witch boy could feel the power rolling throughout the area, none moved.

A powerful deep voice echoed through the air around the heroes, backed by the sound of an acoustic guitar.

Everyone's eyes looked towards where the song was coming from.

Approaching from behind Zatanna, who was still frozen in place with the helmet of Dr Fate over her head, was a single man wearing a black suit with hints of a red dress shirt underneath, a top hat lined with small white skulls and a mix of black and purple feathers decorating it, he was also holding a black cane with a silver skull at the top.

Romeo and Juliet

[Not this guy!] Robin's voice came over the mental link.

Robin's tone over the link told the team that he really did not like who he was seeing approach, clearly having a history with the gentleman that they were seeing.

"You who this is?" Aqualad asked, choosing not to use the mental link.

"Yeah I know who this guy is." Robin groaned. "What are you doing here Voodoo?"

The only part of the man's face that was visible was the bottom of his nose and his jaw, which the team could see was locked in a snarl.

"Mind the tone, otherwise I'll lock you in another cage, Tweety Bird." The man spoke in a clear voice.

"British?" M'gann stated more than questioned, clearly surprised as they were in America and had never come across anyone with a foreign accent so professed.

The man, Identified as 'Voodoo' turned and looked at M'gann, his sneer changed to a small smile.

"Indeed." He raised a gloved hand, the glove was black as the rest of the suit but there were white bones on the exterior of the glove, a part of the design and not actual bones. He removed his hat and touched it to his chest, bowing slightly forward, just as a cultured British man would from an old movie.

His Raven black hair obscured his eyes until he looked up.

Artemis and M'gann's breathing both hitched slightly when they saw dazzling emerald green eyes looking back at them all.

"Allow me to introduce myself." He stated as he placed his hat back on his head. "You can call me, for lack of imagination at the time, The Shadow Man, or Voodoo as the pet canary over there likes to call me. Still saw over the time I locked you in a cage Tweety?"

"Putty Twat." Robin sneered.

"Oh, poor baby." Klarion interjected, clearly annoyed with being ignored. "If you don't mind we were in the middle of something."

Voodoo's eyes locked onto Klarion's, the Witch boy flinched when their eyes locked the anger and deep power that he could see within the human was off-putting to say the least.

"It would do you wise to let me finish, Witch Boy." Voodoo warned before looking at M'gann once more. "I, as you may have guessed am a magic user, of sorts. Specifically I use Voodoo, through the power given to me through contract with the Loa, the Deities of Voodoo, you could call them.

"My personal introduction was with Baron Samedi, The Loa of Death and Fertility."

This information was lost on all but two people who recognized who they were currently dealing with. A god of Death, in any pantheon or religion was a dangerous person to be around, especially when they aren't on their side or on a side of their own. Zatanna gulped and Klarion tensed, realising the clear danger that he was in.

"What's a Bokor doing here?" Klarion asked, his tone not changing from the one he used when he was taunting the hero's before, though there was a small amount of fear that was visible.

"Personally, I came to ask a favour. Nothing too hard or difficult." He replied casually.

"Sorry, but that's a big no-no. Big plans and all that, ya know." Klarion replied "I can't exactly recall all the details, but I do know that it's supposed to be something good, I know that much for sure."

"You're intruding on a very important day for me and my family." He stated calmly.

"What's so important about today?" Klarion mused. "There's nothing special about today in any magical culture that I know of and I know all of them."

Voodoo's eyes narrowed. "It's my mother's anniversary and I was cooking dinner, which is now ruined because of your little magic show."

Klarion blinked, more out of surprise and shock that something so mundane had drawn a Voodoo sorcerer to interrupt his fun.

Robin groaned.

"What?" Kid Flash asked Robin.

"Today's Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy's anniversary." He said, as if it explained it all.

"And how is that important?" Superboy asked, finally getting the Witch boy's familiar off him and joining the team.

"Voodoo was raised by Quinn and Ivy. They're his Mothers." Robin answered.

"Dude, talk about Awesome!" Kid Flash grinned "They're Hot!"

Artemis smacked the junior speedster over the back of the head. "If he's here because of that it means that he's pissed, and someone that scares Witch boy over there by the mention of who he works for-"

"With." Voodoo cut in. "My dear Huntress, I do not work for Baron Samedi, we work with him, ensuring that the souls of the dead go where they belong, though I do believe that I should continue with dealing with the Lord of Chaos present."

Voodoo's eyes locked onto Zatanna.

"Chato could you please bring me the helmet?" Voodoo asked, confusing everyone present.

"Sure homes." Came a male Latino voice from somewhere around Zatanna.

Before everyone's eyes a small platform of flame appeared behind Zatanna, it quickly became a pillar for a few moments before fading away, revealing a Bald Latino man wearing orange prison issue pants and sandals, he wasn't wearing a shirt allowing everyone to see that his upper body, back, shoulders, neck, arms and face were all covered in tattoos.

Chato was standing behind Zatanna, his hand was holding the rim of the Helmet preventing her from placing it on her head.

"El Diablo?" Robin gaped.

Chato looked at Robin "Ain't got nothing to worry about from me. I'm cool, homie."

He looked at Zatanna and shook his head.

"You don't want this power, if it's not your power then you ain't changing nothin'" he told her, then he looked at the shadow by her feet "Liz, you can let 'er go now."

Those that were near Chato could briefly see a shadowy figure slide across the ground towards Voodoo and meld itself to his own shadow.

"Thanks." Voodoo nodded to his friend.

"Hey man, none o' that. You helped me, tha's why I'm helping you, it's only fair homes." He said as he tugged the helmet from Zatanna's hand.

"Hey!" She exclaimed, Chato stepped back quickly and held a flaming palm up to prevent her from approaching.

"You don't want this." He told her "You have your own power, use it."

Voodoo walked forward and took off his hat.

"Sorry Nabu, I'll find you someone that you can take over, when I have some time." He told the helmet before dropping it into his hat before placing it back on his head.

"What'd you do with it?" Kid flash asked.

Voodoo smiled and replied "I've put it in a safe place."

"How's your hat a 'Safe Place' for the Helmet belonging to a Lord of Order?" Kid flash asked.

"Magic."

Kid flash rolled his eyes as the remark.

"Now what do we do with you?" Voodoo asked rhetorically as he looked at Klarion.

"You want my help?" Chato asked.

Voodoo shook his head "You've done enough Chato, get some rest."

Chato fell into his own shadow before re-joining Voodoo's own.

"Where'd he go?" Kid Flash asked again, clearly annoyed that things that he didn't understand were happening.

"Returned to the shadows, obviously." Voodoo replied, as if it were a normal thing.

Though to him it was, since he had people coming and going from his shadow at different times and doing different things.

"I think I'll keep things simple today." Voodoo stated as he looked at the crossroads.

He lifted up his hand, the one not holding the Cane, and splayed his fingers out. Tendrils of darkness shot forward and gripped the young heroes, a slight pull saw them all being pulled away and placed behind Voodoo, so they were out of the Battle.

"I would prefer it if you'd all sit back." He said, looking slightly behind himself so the heroes could see his eye, even though he couldn't see them. "I've been wanting to test my limits for a while now and I think it's a good time to do so."

"He's powerful, will you need assistance?" Aqualad asked Voodoo.

He smiled in reply "Don't worry Water-boy, I've got this covered."

"My name is Aqualad." He spoke in monotone, but it didn't appear that Voodoo heard him.

Voodoo placed his hands inches apart and formed a ball of fire.

"Let's see what this does."

Without wasting a moment voodoo launched the flaming orb at the mystic barrier that was protecting Klarion. It was impressive because as the ball of flame impacted the shield it didn't dissipate, the ball of fire spread out and encompassed the dome. The teens watched as the ball of fire spread out over the shield and seemed to grow in power, the flames started getting hotter and hotter, licks of white flames mixed within the already powerful dome of fire.

"He hehehe." Came a creepy, nasally laugh from within the flames."Looks like someone finally knows how to play the game."

Zatanna developed a slight twitch at the clear insult. Voodoo on the other hand, didn't visibly react, but his cane dropped into the shadows at his feet as his coat and hat blew away as black dust, leaving him standing there in black pants and a red dress shirt, which had the sleeves rolled up so they were above his elbows.

"Miss Martian!" Robin exclaimed from behind Voodoo.

The Voodoo practitioner looked behind him to see that the green Martian was struggling to stand, or remain conscious.

"She cannot stand the flames." Aqualad stated.

Voodoo snapped his fingers, instantly the blazing inferno vanished as if it had never been there at all.

"My apologies." He shrugged.

Looking back at the witch boy Voodoo raised an eyebrow.

Klarion stood, panting within the vermilion dome, with the pentagram still intact. It was clear that he was unaffected by the heat, but the force that the attack generated was enough that there were clear cracks throughout the shield. Voodoo realised that the bottom of the shield was clearly hazier than the rest of the shield, though it wasn't as high as he'd have liked, it was still more than he had hoped for.

'Hmmm…' Voodoo thought to himself. 'I'm gonna need to look into where Chato's powers come from, that was clearly more than regular flames'

Voodoo looked at Klarion's face, hoping to see that there was some surprise on his face. But he could only see that Klarion was still standing within the pentagram with his mouse like features. It was pretty annoying to say the least, since it kept making Voodoo think about some of the curses that he'd been subjected to by the Baron when he was learning Voodoo.

"Well, how about that." Klarion grinned, snapping his fingers to summon his familiar to him. "A magician with actual magic tricks."

Voodoo's fists cracked as he clenched his fists, the sound strangely enough echoed through the crossroads.

"Ooooh." Robin grinned, causing the others to look at him strangely. "Shouldn't have said that, last time someone did that they forgot their own name for a month."

Several members of the hero team looked at Robin, the others all looked at where Voodoo stood a strange energy flowing from him. Klarion mentally froze at the look of pure loathing that he was on the receiving end of. Voodoo's eyes were locked onto Klarion's own, the emerald orbs glowing with an unreal power, Voodoo's skin started to darken, turning to black to match the gloves that he was wearing, the greatest difference that was clear to see was the skin on his face changed to black, leaving the only white portion depicted a skull.

"You may be a Lord of Chaos mon." Voodoo's voice deepened and changed, he could feel Baron Samedi's power within himself. "But da Voodoo of da Loa, has da powah to tip da scale."

Leve non, leve, Baron Samedi. Byenveni m 'nansimetyèr nan Fanmi an Guédé, poumwen, GuédéBokor a, yo te vin lakayou.
[Arise, arise, Baron Samedi. Welcome me to the graveyard of the Guédé Family, for I, the GuédéBokor, have come home]

As Voodoo chanted a dark wind swirled around him, and an oppressive force seemed to weigh down on everyone in the area and the earth started to shake, Voodoo repeated the chant several times. Each time that he repeated the chant the power in the air grew greater and greater after the fifth time that he repeated the chant the earth suddenly turned to dark brown soil, so much so that it seemed to turn black.

"What's happening?"

"There's something coming."

"What's with this energy?"

It seemed that the very air was turning poisonous as the clouds swirled overhead, thunder rumbled in the distance as lightning danced through the black clouds above. There was a sudden low-levelled earthquake when several headstones burst through the ground at different angles, there were several different shapes and sizes. Some were traditional cross shaped, others were plaques on mounds of dirt, there were some that seemed more like pillars than they did anything else. Unseen by anyone but Klarion, though he was looking around in shock and fright than anything else, Voodoo raised a curious eyebrow when he saw a mausoleum appear on either side of the new graveyard.

"What is this?" Klarion shrieked.

Voodoo held out his hand and everyone watched as an eerie purple light started glowing from his palm, they watched transfixed as the light grew stronger, though not brighter, as the source came closer from the darkness, everyone watched as a staff slowly emerged from the darkness. The Purple staff could have been confused with the darkness of a moonless night, the only thing that upset the colour was the purple light that it gave off.

This was not the only thing that appeared.

On Voodoo's right hip appeared a dagger contained within a sheath, it too, glowed with a soft purple light. On his left hip appeared a ring of bone with a leather strip for a handle, there was a small bird skull sitting at the top of the ring with two white feathers on either side of it, but that was not what drew the eyes of those watching. It was the demonic red hand with long black nails and a sky blue orb below the severed wrist that drew the eyes.

"Holy crap!" Kid flash exclaimed.

"What in the world?!" M'gann asked.

Superboy and Robin looked as if they were attempting to keep their lunch down, so too was Artemis. Aqualad and Zatanna were just staring, both having been trained in various mystical arts could feel the magic that the three items were containing. They both took a reflexive step away from the being that they were near.

"H-H-How do you have those?" Klarion screeched. "Those items were removed from this world centuries ago, I was even the one who took the Wilken's reach from this dimension eons ago."

A deep chuckle filled the air as voodoo reached into his pocket and pulled out a thick cigar that he placed betwixt his lips.

"Do ya t'ink a boy like you, could hold da powah of a relic such as dis, wit'out one a da Loa knowing?" Voodoo questioned "We 'new datdere were fools lookin' for de' items of 'he Umbaru, da Loa was smart 'nough to know datdey needed protectin'"

Robin carefully moved near Zatanna.

"That's not his normal voice." He stated, the question clear to the homo magi.

"He's sharing the body with Baron Samedi, his body is acting as the Baron's vessel, or horse as it's been referred to in some texts." Zatanna explained "This could be good or bad."

"How?" Aqualad asked, being close enough that he was able to hear the conversation.

"Well, either the Baron is sharing control with Voodoo, The baron is letting Voodoo use his power or the Baron is completely in control over him." Zatanna explained.

"I still don't get it." Robin admitted.

"Well if Baron Samedi is sharing control with Voodoo then it means that their focuses align and we're not going to be killed right now. If the Baron is letting Voodoo use his power and he's not able to contain it then he could explode and we wouldn't survive."

"And if the Baron is in complete control?" Aqualad asked, unsure if even he wanted to know the answer.

"Then I hope that the worlds are united once more because I don't know anything about Voodoo rituals to even begin to form a plan on how to deal with something of untold power like a Loa, especially one that's also the head of the Ghede family, they embody the power of death and fertility."

The realisation of who they were dealing with became more real to the two of them.

"Then we best hope that the Baron is our ally in this fight." Aqualad commented.

"Definitely whelmed now." Robin stated.

Suddenly the shaking of the earth stopped and multiple mounds of dirt started rising before suddenly bursting through the stiff dirt.

"Welcom' Klarion Davitch boy." Voodoo greeted "To da Baron's Graveyard."

Klarion looked around in fright, as a lord of Chaos he'd been around for countless decades and centuries. He'd heard about the various pantheons of Gods that the mortals believed in, he had seen the rise and fall of countless pantheons throughout the universe, seen powerful civilisations fall away to time, greed, war and famine, but he'd never, personally, been a part of something as foreboding as what was happening.

[Was he this powerful when you faced him in the past Robin?] Artemis's voice came over the mental link, reminding them that it was still active.

[No. Or at least, he never showed that he was.] Robin replied using the link [If he has this much power at his disposal then he could easily have wiped out Gotham, or worse.]

[Are there such things as Magical power-ups Zatanna?] Artemis asked, having a more open-minded approach towards magic, and those that practised it.

[There are, but I doubt that he's used any of them.]

[What makes you say that?] Kid flash asked.

[Let's just say that the things needed for those kind of rituals require a lot of dark magic and the need to commit acts that make murder look tame.] She replied tensely.

[Woah, you could have just said that they were bad and left it at that Z.] Kid Flash said [It's not like we wouldn't have taken your word for it, ya know.]

[Well…you asked.] She replied.

Voodoo raised his staff into the air before slamming it roughly into the soil at his feet and chanting once more.

"Mwenrele move lespriyonanpati a."
["I call forth the spirits of the departed"]

The sounds canine howls rang throughout the area, causing chills to run up the spines of the young teenage heroes. Suddenly small mounds of dirt exploded around Klarion, once the air cleared once more the teen hero's all drew in a sharp breath, there rising from the small grave were disfigured canines. Their skin was a strange grey, with a sickly green tint to their skin, the skull had no skin but their craniums were bared to the elements, unnaturally free of skin, dirt and flesh.

"Hee hee hee" Klarion's naisally laugh echoed through the area. "Finally, looks like you finally decided to show some real power."

Klarion held his palms close together, everyone watched as an orb of red magic appeared, crackling with power.

"Let's see how your little puppies deal with this." He sneered as he launched the orb.

Voodoo lazily gestured at two of the resurrected dogs. Two dogs followed Voodoo's command without another prompt; they immediately charged towards the attack and threw themselves at the magic. As they impacted the magic the orb exploded and divided itself into a large amount of smaller orbs that rained down over the area.

Voodoo swiftly moved from where he was standing, narrowly avoiding the several orbs that were aiming for the area that he was standing.

"Looks like you've got some skill yourself." Voodoo retorted.

He tightened the grip on his staff, causing the purple light at the top of his staff to glow brighter, with a strong thrust a beam of energy burst from the tip of the staff and impacted the hazy shield surrounding the pentagram.

"There's nothing that you can do, Hee hee hee." Klarion giggled, to which voodoo raised an eyebrow, but didn't bother to reply.

The sound of glass cracking caused Klarion to stop laughing, out of sheer surprise.

"Wha-" Klarion was caught off guard when the shield that he was defended by now sported a large cracks that seemed to continue spreading out from where the violet light was still bombarding the shield. As the cracks seem to spread out over the entirety of the shield the clarity of the shield itself started to suffer because of it.

Then just as it had suddenly appeared the violet magical beam stopped.

Klarion's shoulders sagged in clear relief from the strain that Voodoo's attack was wrecking on the shield.

"Hee hee. Couldn't keep it up?" Klarion teased.

Robin, kid Flash and Artemis' eyes all widened at the comment.

[I would recommend being ready to fight him once again.] Voodoo commented over the mental link that he'd tapped into. [I will bring down his shield and distract him, one of you will have to get the stone, Magic-girl-]

[It's Zatanna!] She snapped.

Voodoo continued as if he'd not been interrupted [I hope that you know how to put the two worlds together, otherwise I'm just going to shatter the stupid thing.]

Voodoo cut himself off from the mental link so that he could focus his entire attention on Klarion.

"Clearly you need to keep an eye on your surroundings, witchy." Voodoo replied waving his free hand to his general area, to which Klarion looked around to see that all the resurrected dogs were at the edge of the shield and were ready to attack him.

"How can you have so much power?" He screamed.

"I do not fight for myself, unlike you. I fight for those that mean the world to me, I fight for those that I love, and they are who give me my strength." He replied, he noted that several of the young hero's were now hidden throughout the tree-line and were ready for any opening that he gave them.

Voodoo narrowed his eyes whilst looking directly at Klarion.

"And there's nothing that you, or The Light," He could see Klarion's reaction to the name "Can do to stop me."

Without another word Voodoo thrust his staff forward once more, though instead of the beam of violet energy he blasted a single powerful bullet of violet, clearly magical, flames that slammed into and spread over the shied. Klarion threw his hands up to defend himself and his familiar, Teekl, the small house cat that could become a sabre-tooth tiger.

Without needing an instruction the resurrected hounds rushed Klarion.

He snatched up Teekl, who let out a series of howls to ensure that his disapproval was heard by Klarion, and leapt into the air, narrowly avoiding the closest hound that was aiming for his familiar.

"I know, I know." He snarled. "I let him get to me and I shouldn't have let him."

Teekl hissed as Klarion spelled a boulder to reverse directions, back to where it came from.

While doing that Superboy leapt through the air, making use of the distraction to punch the lord of Chaos in the face, sending him crashing into the trees.

"Fetch!" Voodoo commanded and the hounds obeyed.

"Zatanna!" Kid flash called out as he snatched the yellow crystal from the pentagram and tossed it to the floating magician.

"Got it!" She called out. "Yam eht owt emoceb eno ecno erom!"

Voodoo could feel the dimensional shudder as the two different worlds, separated by age, moulded together. He could feel the power that the spell had behind it. Right away he could tell that there was several things that they had missed about the spell being cast, the power requirements alone would require more than just a lord of chaos, that much was easy to tell.

Voodoo raised his hand into the air and clenched his fist, drawing in the power that he had used to summon the graveyard. As the world started to blur back together Voodoo's fist slowly opened, as if pried open by some unknown force, the grave's started to shake and shudder. The young hero's all watched.

"What's happening?" Kid flash asked, seeing that the justice league wasn't there with them.

"Something is keeping the worlds apart." Zatanna informed the group.

"Voodoo, what are you doing?" Robin shouted.

Voodoo attempted to reply but the focus that he needed to keep in order to prevent the souls contained within the graveyard, those belonging to the recently departed whose bodies had yet to decompose, from coming back to life as malefic spirits, was too great and ended up with him falling to his knees.

"Voodoo!" several of the group exclaimed as they rushed to assist.

"Stop!" Zatanna cried "He's attempting to prevent a backlash, don't get close to him, you could be caught in the rebound."

This forced them to stop short.

Suddenly a deep chill spread through the clearing as the shadows lengthened. They all watched as Voodoo's shadow spread out along the ground and joined the other shadows that were covering the gravestones, Zatanna was amazed at the showing of magical might. She knew that this was something that she would never be able to do herself, especially if what he'd said was right, owing his power to the Loa that he served, though he claimed to work alongside, she knew that there was no real way that he would be on the same level as an intermediary to the 'creator' which the Loa were known to be.

Slowly, but steadily, they watched as the shadows covered the graves and several of the hounds, only leaving enough to keep Klarion where he was, separated from his familiar Teekl.

"Restrain him." Voodoo bit out through gritted teeth, attempting to keep his powers in check, though even he knew that Klarion would take the chance to get away should he leave too few hounds alive and the more that he left alive the more strain that it would put on him, that would prove damaging should he be too weak.

"dnib noiralk ni cigam sniahc" Zatanna chanted.

Suddenly golden chains burst from the ground and wrapped around Klarion.

Voodoo let out a roar, drawing everyone's attention once more.

Suddenly the shadows around Voodoo started lifting off the ground, it was eerie, though the shadows were thin like paper the way that they lifted off the ground made them look like thin fabric, the shadows lifted and wrapped together in front of him.

"Is everyone else seeing this?"Robin asked, hoping that he was just imagining things.

"Yep." Kid flash confirmed.

"I certainly hope so." Artemis said.

"Seeing, still working on believing." Aqualad stated.

"This is incredible." Miss Martian voiced.

Superboy had no comment and Zatanna was just stunned at the display of powerful magics.

As if it was building tension the shadows condensed into a small orb and hovered in the air before Voodoo, it just stayed there, ominously, as if it had a mind of its own. Then it lowered itself into the lengthened shadow, just as the tip of the orb vanished into the shadow the entirety of the shadow, Voodoo's as well as the shadows from the trees, surged with power and rapidly consumed the graveyard, within moments there was nothing left of the grave's and headstones that were there mere moments before.

Suddenly a blinding light appeared, forcing everyone to cover their eyes.

When they opened them they saw that the Justice league was all present and had restrained the other sorcerers that were involved with the dimension separation.

"Ah, so that's how they were able to split things up." Voodoo commented weakly as he used his staff as a crutch.

"You used too much power didn't you." Someone commented from behind him.

Without looking behind him, as he already knew who it was, Voodoo scoffed.

"What can I say, I did make sure to give you most of the restraint." He replied "and it looks like I was right to do so too."

"If you say so."

Both the Justice League and the Young hero's were staring at Voodoo in shock.

"Ummm..." Captain Marvel, who had changed from billy Batson at sometime, cut in. "How is there two of you?"

Voodoo chuckled "There isn't, at least not in the way your thinking. The whole world was affected by the dimensional separation, and someone like me, who uses such great power and has a connection to the dead, I registered as both over 18 and under 18. Because of that I was split into two, the older portion of my power was sent into the world with the other League members, and the younger version remained with the Sidekicks."

The older version of Voodoo remained silent but placed a hand on his counterparts shoulder, as soon as they were connected the older broke down into dust and melded with Voodoo's shadow.

Voodoo gasped, as if he was just saved from drowning, or a great pressure had just been taken off his chest.

He shook his head violently.

"That's a rush."

Once he had his breath back he reached into his pocket and pulled out a phone, completely ignoring the looks that he was receiving from the league and the young sidekicks.

"Hey, yeah it's me... Yeah got everything handled... Yes I know... I'm happy for... I see... well what did you tell them?... Uh huh... uh huh... why didn't you... Screw them... I'm sorry... *sigh* for using foul language..."

Several of the hero's present chuckled as they listened to the conversation, it was clear that Voodoo, someone who had just defied all logic and split himself between dimensions was now being scolded for swearing by his mother, whether it was Ivy or Quinn they didn't know, it was just funny.

"Yeah, don't worry. I'll make sure to call every so while." Voodoo said as he finished his call. "Sorry about that, Mum wasn't happy about leaving when the split happened. Apparently they didn't realize when the dimensions shifted and to them it seemed like I'd just walked out on them."

Several people just stared at him while Batman, Superman and several of the League members were dealing with those that they had captured.

"Well they just don't make immortal evil sorcerers like they used too." Klarion commented, drawing their attention. Somehow he'd managed to free himself from the chains binding him.

"Oh well, fun while it lasted. Teekl." He called out, and clapped his hands

As soon as the feline was in his arms Klarion snapped his fingers and everyone watched, unable to do anything as he jumped through the portal.

"See you later Armadillos, unless I see you first."

The sound of his nasally laugh was all that remained for several seconds.

"Aren't you going to stop him?" Kid flash exclaimed, directing this at Zatana and Zatarra.

"To what end?" Zatara stated wearily "He is a lord of Chaos; there is nothing we can do to stop him. Not even Doctor Fate would be able to contain him; neither could your young friend over there."

Before anyone could argue with what she said Voodoo spoke.

"She's right, you know." He told them. "Klarion is powerful and the best that anyone here could do, even if both heroes and villains worked together, would only force him to remain in one place for a short while. The strongest spell that I can do would only hold him for, maybe an hour, at most."

Zatana shrugged when Kid Flash looked at her, hoping that she would say something that would completely change everything, hoping for some big reveal that would mean that a powerful villain hadn't just gotten away for nothing.

"So, when do I get to pick my room, Bats?" Voodoo asked the dark knight.

All eyes turned to look at Batman.

"Don't tell me that we have to put up with him now too." Robin groaned, almost pleadingly at Batman.

The Dark knight just looked at Robin before turning his attention to Voodoo.

"I thought I told you that I would speak with the team first." Batman replied to Voodoo.

He snorted "Well, I thought that after defeating a Lord of Chaos, foiling The Lights plan for the evening, and showing off some powerful magic that put both Klarion and our resident stage magician to pasture, warranted a little directness." Voodoo grinned from his spot on the ground.

"Egats naicigam ym saa" Zatana grumbled under her breath, clearly thinking that no one would call her out on it.

"Ti si rehtar enif eno, fi I od yas os" Voodoo quipped easily.

Making Zatana gawk and Zatara narrow his eyes.


Hello everyone,

I've been a little preoccupied with a few different Fic ideas and this one seemed to call out to me saying 'Write me! Write me!' so I did. Am thinking, and have been planning out an Harry Potter/Marvel crossover as well.

For those following My other Harry potter story, don't worry that will NOT be abandoned this fic will be more for when I need to be distracted from Harry's Hogwarts days.

This is NOT the actual story, it originally began as a oneshot, but then i had an actual idea on how to write this story and started playing around with the ideas when I was doing research into voodoo, I don't like making things up without knowing what they can do, i spend over a week looking through different websites, blogs, videos, other fanfics that used or mentioned Voodoo, and i found out how i wanted the story to go.

Then i scrapped it and decided that I would write it in a different way all together and not have Harry, who is Voodoo if you couldn't tell, so limited in one style of magic. I decided to look into various forms of magic and that led me to finding mention of magic done in some books and movies as well as other areas.

I found interest in the Witcher series magic, the witcher signs not the sorcerers magics, which lead to interest in words of power and magical languages. So having looked into that i have found how i want Harry to be in the new series. Some may be wondering why i didn't just use an OC, it's because it has been well established that harry has magic and he also has a somewhat well known backstory which i can change to suit instead of having to make one for an OC. So I'm lazy.

Haven't thought about Harry's Hero/Villain name (Not planning on using Voodoo) so suggestions would be welcomed.
Haven't decided on things such as time line and story progression but the story will cross over with Young Justice, which will be the main portion later, The Batman (the Tv series which was on Cartoon Network ages ago, don't know if it's still on), If people want to see Harry return to / Go to Hogwarts then i will most likely do it for the Goblet only, since it's really where Harry will show he isn't the hero for them.

R&R if you feel like it.
