Batman asks Zatanna to find Supergirl

Batman always had a backup. As soon as he’d finished talking to Oracle he’d found Zatanna in her quarters on the Watchtower. Sparsely decorated with exposed brick walls and a single table in the center. The only object of note in the room was a large glass crystal ball in the center of the table. Zatanna rarely stayed here, preferring her apartment in Gotham.

“Zatanna, I need you to find Supergirl.” he said gruffly.

“Sure thing. My scrying crystal will find her. I’ll need to be alone.”

“Ok, let me know what you find.”

Zatanna went to answer but Batman was gone. “How does he do that?!” she said to herself before turning to her crystal ball. Zatanna stretched out her hands, touching the mystical object, and the lights in the room dimmed. In her strange magical backwards speak Zatanna said “‘noitacol s’lrigrepuS em wohS”. The mist within the ball swirled frantically as the magical artefact worked. Eventually the mist settled but no image appeared.

“Impossible! No-one can hide from my magics” exclaimed Zatanna, “unless… No, it can’t be. ?daed lrigrepuS sI” The crystal ball glowed again and then shook from side to side, a negative response.

“Stange, Supergirl lives but is hidden from my gaze. How is this possible?” Zatanna decided to try a different tack. “noitacol s’lE roZ araK em wohS” The mist swirled again but this time an image slowly came into focus. Zatanna was looking down on two naked women, writhing in a bed. She looked closer and recognised one of them.

“Catwoman? Stupid magic, I said Kara Zor El, not this cat burglar. Still, this is some show!” She continued to watch, fascinated by the erotic scene the globe was showing her. The second woman that she didn’t recognise reached down and pulled something out of a pile of clothes. A JLA communicator! Zatanna studied the woman closer. Something was familiar about her face.

“Supergirl! Oh my god. What is she doing with Catwoman?” gasped the mystic. “and why didn’t my magic detect her, unless… she is no longer Supergirl. Oh Kara, what has happened to you?”

Zatanna watched as Kara talked to someone over the communicator. She saw Kara switch to video and Oracle’s face appeared on the screen. Suddenly a bright yellow light lit up the whole globe. Zatanna pulled back, startled, but couldn’t look away. She saw Oracle changing, her eyes glowing, her expression turning into a wicked smile. What Zatanna didn’t notice was her own transformation. As she basked in the light of the Cat’s Eye Diamond her own eyes started to glow.

“What is that? It’s.. beautiful. I can’t look away.” Words were forming in her head that weren’t her own. “Cat’s Eye. Kara. Mistress. Power. Evil. Corruption.” As each word passed through her mind it became part of her very being. Responding to her corruption the crystal ball in front of her mirrored the changes in her mind. Images of evil, ****, sex and slaves flashed through it, cementing the young magician’s descent into corruption.

“Well well well, this is certainly something new. I feel… bad, and it feels gooood. All these years I’ve been using my magic for good, to protect the tiny people, when I could have been controlling them, using them. I could be a Queen.” laughed Zatanna, her eyes hooded and a wicked grin on her face.

She examined her reflection in the crystal ball. “So pure and innocent. Well, let’s see about that. reixes em ekaM.” Smoke swirled around Zatanna, covering her body. She was lifted in the air by the magic and started to spin around, yellow light engulfing her. As the smoke cleared a new woman stood. More mature, long legs barely covered by a long flowing skirt, slit up to her waist at the sides. A white bodice barely containing her new fuller breasts. Gone was the jacket and shirt, her shoulders exposed and fishnet arm coverings replacing the frumpy jacket.

We can’t have the Justice League finding out about my new perspective now can we? .rebmem eugaeL ecitsuJ yna morf notamrofsnart ym ediH” There was a slight shimmer around her and she knew that all the Justice League would see was the young innocent magician they knew. She could move amongst them, free to cause chaos and depravity undetected.

“Any luck Zatanna?” came a voice from behind her.

“Oh god Batman! I wish you wouldn’t do that!.” Zatanna exclaimed. “Let’s just say I’m closer to her than I was. Maybe you can help me.”

“Of course.” Batman sat down at the table. Zatanna smirked and sat down opposite him.

“Take my hands.” She held out her hands towards Batman and he took hold of them. Batman looked over Zatanna. Something was off here. She’d never asked for help before, she always needed to be alone to perform any scrying.

Zatanna saw the suspicion on his face and decided to act before it was too late. Batman was a formidable foe, even with no superpowers. “tnavres layol live ym otni namtaB nruT” she said, still holding on to Batman’s hands. The magic sparked out of Zatanna’s hands into him, instantly dispelling the illusion for Batman, who could now see her true form.

“Zatanna! What… “ he started before being engulfed by thick black smoke. He was lifted into the air and sparks shot throughout the dark cloud enveloping him. “Stop, don’t do this.” he managed to say before the magic started to affect his mind.

“Batman, stubborn to the last as I expected, but you are nothing when compared to my mystical powers, soon you will be my loyal servant, evil to the core. Just like me.” The sparks in the cloud grew stronger, each one hitting Batman, changing the area it hit. Gradually the new being that he was becoming came into existence. The smoke cleared and Zatanna got a look at her new follower.

Stood before her was a wicked looking female, clad head to toe in a black evil parody of Batman’s outfit. Not a single inch of flesh was exposed, but the bat symbol remained on her well developed chest.

“A woman! This is an unexpected, but not unwelcome development. We shall have to think of a new name for you.”

“Yesss my mistress. I am yours to mould. Command me.” hissed the new woman.

“Very good. I think I shall call you Midnight. You will be my new bodyguard. namtaB sa thgindiM ees lliw yehT .segnahc s'namtaB ees ton lliw rebnmem eugaeL ecitsuJ llA. Now you will move unnoticed through the Justice League, your corruption will be undetected.”

“Thank you mistress.” said Midnight.

“Now I must leave you. I must visit the one who made me this way. lE roZ araK ot em ekaT.” In a flash Zatanna vanished, leaving her new creation to pose as her old identity.

In Selina’s apartment there was a flash and smoke filled the room. Kara sat up, surprised. As the smoke cleared a voluptuous figure in a magician’s hat emerged.

“Zatanna. Are you here to stop me?” hissed the corrupted Kryptonian, preparing for a fight.

“Quite the opposite mistress. I am here to serve you. I saw the majesty of the Cat’s Eye Diamond’s powers through my scrying crystal and now I am remade.” She slowly unbuttoned her corset and made her way to the bed. Her hat fell to the floor as she joined Catwoman and Kara.

“Excellent! We have plans to make, but first, fun.” said Kara, pulling Zatanna in for a long deep kiss.
