[audience applauding]

[Zatara] I was young,
just 28, on the road
with my act.

[audience gasps]

For the past few years,
I'd been entertaining
audiences

with my astonishing illusions
and wondrous wizardry.

But now,
I had a wife, Sindella,

and our 2-year-old daughter,
Zatanna, waiting for me
back home.

[Zatara casting spell]

[Zatara] My act was a success.

My stage illusions
were renowned,

thanks to a touch
of real magic.

My audiences
were always dazzled.

[electrical crackling]

But one night,
something went wrong.

A curtain caught fire.
The fire spread quickly.

The audience was in danger.

Without a second thought...

[casting spell]

...I used my magic
to put out the flames.

Uh... Presto!

-The audience thought
it was all part of the act.
-[audience applauding]

My grand finale.

But for me,

it was a new beginning.

[theme music playing]

[Klarion] Teekl!

[screams]

Mother of Goat!
Diamond-guy killed Teekl.

[Nabu] Causing Klarion
to return to his true form
as a Chaos Lord.

A form he could not maintain
on the Earthly plane.

Now, with that lovely bit
of nastiness out of the way,

it's time to have some fun.

Let's start
with this eyesore.

[casting spell]

[giggling]

Whee!

[all screaming]

[Child] That was entertaining.

[straining] Lord of Chaos,

you dare meddle
with the balance of...

[screams]

[grunts]

[giggles]

Oh, well done, Flaw.

I do believe
you spared us a lecture.

Damn it. Local Ley lines
have been disrupted.

[all groaning]

Power of Zeus!

I simply cannot understand
how Klarion allowed

such pathetic creatures
to thwart Chaos' will.

Hmm. Time to unleash
the chaos.

[grunts angrily]

[Zatanna casts spell]

[both groaning]

I got them.

Ah! I'm okay.

Dad.

[gasps]

[Drew] Space Trek 3016,
Episode 516,

scene 16, take 16...

[Schwartz] Action!

[in monotonous voice]
Captain, we're surrounded.
Shields are failing.

There's only one way
to survive this.

[Schwartz] Cut!

Okay. Great stuff, people.
Really great.

We're just gonna
run it one more time.

For coverage.

Gar, buddy,

this is supposed to be
life or death for Tork.

And at nearly 3:00
in the morning,

with everyone on overtime,

it's almost
life and death
for me.

So can you please
just give it more...

[sighs] More.

Sure. J.A. Sure.

More "more" coming right up.

[bell ringing]

[Drew] Space Trek 3016,
episode 516,

scene 16, take 17...

[Schwartz] Action!

- Line.
-[Schwartz] Cut!

-[bell rings]
-[sighs]

[Klarion] Dang it!

Now I'm just a flaming diamond
careening through
time and space.

I hate to admit it,
but I need a hero.

[yawns]

Good morning, Charlie.

Morning, Penny.

Okay, kids. Next stop, school.

-[all groan]
- Uh-uh-uh!

No fussing
and frowning allowed
on old Charlie's bus.

Only nice big smiles.

[all screaming]

[screaming]

[grunts]

[all screaming]

[grunting]

I had that.

I didn't want to
take the chance.

As it is, your landing
could have destabilized
the entire bridge.

- It didn't.
-[Superman] But it could have.

- We don't yet know
the limits of your powers.
-[kids clamoring excitedly]

Huh! Since when does
Superman have a sidekick?

-[device trills]
- Sorry, Super... boy.
Duty calls.

[Klarion] Dang it, too late.
Gotta find another hero.

But first,
I need an anchor
to this mortal plane.

This motorcycle will do.

[shrieks]

[Klarion] I'm taking over
your dumb skateboard, mortal.

Uh, it's a bus.

Bus. Bus.
You knew I meant...

Hey, you remind me of somebody.

[Zatara] After saving
the audience from the fire,

I was moved to do more
with my abilities
than simply entertain.

Lacking a clear
direction forward
drove me to distraction.

And then...

[giggles]

...there he was,
the Superman.

I had, of course,
heard of the Man of Steel,

but I had not yet seen him
through my daughter's eyes.

-[Zatara speaks other language]
-[Zatanna laughs]

[Zatara] Superman
astonished the world

with wondrous feats of flight
and strength and courage.

But behind his heroic acts,

I saw an alien
from another world,

an immigrant like me,

fighting to keep
his adopted planet safe.

Could I not do as much
for my adopted country?

I pondered this question.

I prayed for guidance
until I knew
what I needed to do.

Sindella was nervous for me,
but understood.

-And so, inspired by...
-[gunshots]

-[burglar alarm ringing]
-...Superman and my daughter...

[man speaking other language]

...it began.

Between performances
and family time,

I used my gifts
to protect and serve society.

Still, I wished to do more.

[door opening]

And just like magic...

Dad? Nabu? Anybody?

[Nabu] Oui.

Your father is well enough.

[Zatanna]
Now do you believe
that Child is a threat?

[Nabu] We do.

And that you need
our help to fight her?

[Nabu] Possibly.

What the hell was that?

Stealing our power
without asking.

There wasn't time to ask.

The kid had just demolished
the Tower of Fate.

I was the only one conscious
to even try to stop her
from doing it again in...

I don't know,
New York or El Paso.

Look, I'm sorry.
I am.

But I had to
give it a shot.

[both huff]

- All right.
- Yeah, I guess.

But please
do not do that again
without asking first.

Hmm.

The hunt for Child
will now commence.

Can you call on
the Lords of Order,
ask for a power boost?

[Nabu] That is not their way.

Nor will it be necessary.

[sighs]

[casts spell]

Listen, bubala,
you're giving me fits, here.

Last season, it was
all that prima donna crap,

feuding with
the not-to-be-missed Granny,

outsiders missions
making you late,
et cetera, et cetera.

But at least you were sharp,
in the moment.

This year, I can't even
get you to focus.

You're, like,
a million miles away.

[sighs] More like 140 million.

Uh, okay.

Look, I know your buddy
Superboy passed.

Do you need some help dealing?

The studio has resources.

No, man, I'm fine.

Just... [sighs]
I'm tired.

So maybe you need a rest,
you know, some downtime, huh?

Yeah, right.
I thought everyone's jobs
depended on me.

[chuckles]

We've been building up
Harvey's Lieutenant Der'Chow
character.

He's become
a real fan favorite, see?

The suits think
he can carry the load...

You know, until you're rested
and ready to return.

[chuckles]
Just think about it.

We love you, kid.

I just want
what's best for the show.

And you, of course.

[Zatara] Kent Nelson
gave me direction, focus.

Over the next few years,
the work dedicated
to my secret calling

increased exponentially.

But between
my public stage career
and my secret life as a hero,

I spent less and less time
at home.

Kent helped out,
practically becoming
a member of the family,

watching over them
when I could not.

Still, I hated being away
from Sindella and Zatanna.

Once again, I prayed on it

and came to believe
my absence from my family

was a necessary sacrifice
for the greater good.

But God, the universe
or fate had other ideas.

It was not an enemy
that undid me.

It was cancer.

I tried to be there
for Sindella, for Zatanna,

but still I had to perform
to pay medical bills,

had to fight
to protect the world.

Then, in some damned hotel

-in some damned city...
-[knock on door]

[door opens]

...there came another
knock on the door.

Holy moly!

[Thirteen] Didn't know
they had active volcanoes
in Sydney.

[Nabu] They do not.

Anyone tell the volcano?

[Nabu] We are too late.

Child has come and gone,

and this land
is forever scarred
by her mark of Chaos.

The Pillar of Fire.

We must go.

But we have to help
the people here.

[Nabu] We have to save
the world.

[Phantom Stranger]
Fate is correct.

I have summoned the League,

the outsiders,
and every mystic champion
I could recruit.

Sending heroes
to each new crisis

as quickly as Madame Xanadu
predicts them.

But our efforts
will be for naught

unless all of you
stop Child herself.

[sighs]

It pains me
to agree with Nabu,

but he and the Stranger
are right.

We have to go.

[tires screeching]

[screaming]

[Klarion] Dang it!
Wrong heroes.

[all screaming]

[Klarion] Dang it!
They can't help either.

[people screaming]

[Mary] Holy freakin' moly!
Child's reversed gravity.

[yells]

Is that the wizard?
I can't believe he's helping.

Come. We must find Child.

[bus approaching]

[all exclaim]

[Klarion] Dang it!

[Thirteen] Whoa!
This one's even bigger
than the one in Sydney.

Better to destroy
the entire World Ocean.

[Nabu] But Child
is already gone.
So we must follow.

[screaming]

[Klarion] Oh!
I feel split in half.

- I have to go
through this twice?
-[screaming]

Dang it! Whose idea was it
to split the Earth in two?

[people screaming]

Holy mo...

Don't even say it.

[growls]

[Nabu] Child is gone.

Finally we're safe.

[Klarion] Dang it!
I keep seeing
the same heroes.

[kids clamoring]

[Klarion] Dang it.
Now I don't see
any heroes at all.

[Klarion] Dang it!

There are no other
heroes here yet.

-[horn blaring]
-[Klarion] Dang it!

That means
we're getting closer.

[kids screaming]

[Klarion] Dang it!
Dang it! Dang it!

But we're the only ones here.

We have to stop and help.

[all screaming]

Follow the plan.
We need to be
where Child is now.

[Klarion] Dang it.
That was them.
That's who I need.

Oh, but not this soon.

[Zatara] The loss of my wife
sent me reeling, spinning.

At Kent's suggestion,
and with his recommendation,

I joined the Justice League.

While I still battled
mystic threats,
I no longer faced them alone.

I cut back on
performance tours,

-and when I did travel...
-[casting spell]

-...I brought Zatanna with me.
-[audience cheering]

And still, I was spinning.

For just as I had been inspired
by Superman, Kent, and others
who had come before me,

I, unfortunately,
had become an inspiration
to those coming after.

Thus, in a moment of crisis,

my little girl over-reached.

And in that moment,
my compass ceased to spin.

Great Nabu,
release my daughter.

[Nabu] No.

[Zatara] Then and there,
I knew exactly what I must do.

As if my entire life
had been designed

like perfect prestidigitation
to lead up to this very moment.

Take me instead.

[speaking other language]

No, please!
This was my fault.
Dad, don't! Dad!

[Zatara] But to her,
it must have seemed

as if I was abandoning
my girl once again,

taking my show
on the road permanently.

Giving her no more
than one hour of my time
and attention every year.

Daddy.

[Zatara] But I took on
this burden.

Sacrificed myself
to save my daughter.

[gasps]

[Zatara speaking
other language]

[Zatanna sobbing]

[Schwartz] Action!

Captain, we're surrounded.
Shields are failing.

There is only one way
to survive this.

We must surrender.

-[Schwartz] Cut!
Print. Perfect.
-[bell ringing]

[stammering]
Jeez! It's cold!

Gut it out,
and follow the plan.
Now!

[Child] My compliments, humans.

Your species has done
a marvelous job
melting this polar ice cap.

But I believe I can do better.

Care to watch?

[in mocking voice]
You can't kill me!

Power of Zeus!

[casting spell]

[Nabu] Child, your mayhem
on this world ends now.

We will restore peace,
where you have wrought havoc,

for we are
the defenders of Order,

the conquerors of Chaos.

And for you,
a fate worse than death.

Ooh! Pretty, pretty,
pretty, pretty!

[snaps fingers]

[all grunting]

Like I said...

[in mocking voice]

You can't kill me!

You can't kill me!

But I can kill every
living thing on this world.

[snaps fingers]

[groaning]

[winces, shudders]

[Klarion] Dang it!

No, wait. This is it.
I found them.

Dad.

[speaking other language]

[Nabu] Why do you tell us
what we have no need to know.

There must be a record.

We both know
my body cannot last forever.

But you and the Helmet
will endure.

I tell you these things,
so that when the time comes,

you may tell my daughter.

[Nabu] That is not
our responsibility.

It is your responsibility.

As long as you hold
my body hostage,

I charge you, Nabu,
pass these words, my story,
on to my daughter.

[speaking other language]

[Nabu] Hmm, fine.
We will honor your wishes

if that becomes necessary.

Oh, it seems
quite necessary.

For in this coming battle,

I will not allow
my daughter to perish.

And it will almost
certainly take

all that remains
of my vim vitae,
my life force,

for Doctor Fate to survive,

let alone triumph.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[sirens wailing in distance]

[Superman] The Stranger
had the right idea.

We're in a crisis situation.
Again.

If we make it out of this,

we can't rely on
another villain like Wizard
to come through for us.

Jeff, I think we have to start
thinking about organizing

a true Justice League
Reserves system.

[sighs]

Unfortunately,
I have the feeling

we're going to need it
more and more
in the days to come.

indistinctly]
