Klarion<br/>Metropolis Museum of History<br/>7.30 pm<br/>TAG: Icon/Power Girl/Wonder Woman<br/><br/>Klarion was not as surprised as amused when the costumed heroes burst into the room he was in. Then he felt anger swell up inside him as his dear familiar was picked on by the wrathful goddess.<br/><br/>When Wonder Woman threw the lasso of truth around the were-cat, its magic started working immediately. Teekl didn't have the time to answer the amazon: the enchanted lasso forced the familiar to assume her true form, that of an ordinary cat again, and when she shrunk back she effortlessly hopped free of the loop of rope that was large enough o wrap around her were-form's waist. Returning to her master's side, the feline hissed towards Wonder Woman.<br/><br/>The next surprises were rather improbable and more than unexpected. The grotesque forms of the half eaten, dead security guards threw themselves on Wonder Woman from behind in an attempt to overpower her. While their inhuman strength was considerable, they couldn't hope to overpower the amazon in a fair contest. They, however served merely as a distraction while the witch boy prepared for his next trick.<br/>That was when Icon and Power Girl stepped into action. Power Girl lunged towards the boy, but screamed as she was shocked and repulsed by an invisible barrier the sinister youth erected around himself. The sense that he needed to retaliate to that attack was what saved Wonder Woman from the spell Klarion just finished. He hurled a blast of eldritch magic, hitting power girl in the chest and sending her flying across the hall. She was headed straight for a wall adorned with ornamental swords and a spiked shield from the medieval ages, but she never made it there as a portal opened behind her and she was flung through to a far away destination nobody could predict. The rift in space closed after the woman was gone, an now the sinister little warlock turned back to the meddlers at hand. The Philosopher's Stone glowed in his hand, and a diabolical smile appeared on his youthful face.<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://images.wikia.com/youngjustice/images/1/13/Klarion_and_the_crystal.png)</div>He could sense the hesitation coming from the costumed man, and raised the stone so it was between their gazes. His otherworldly influence creeped upon Icon, insubstantial tendrils of magic digging into his mind.<br/>"Help me!" - Klarion didn't even bother to act the part of the frightened child. He was confident his now immensely augmented magic would do the trick. - "It's me, your nephew Klarion! I came to the museum to study like you always tell me to... but that lady wanted to hurt me!" - as he spoke, he pointed towards Wonder Woman who was at the end of her patience even as she arrived. Her aggressive behavior only helped to reinforce the curse the witch-boy was laying on the meta-human. As a precaution, Klarion lifted the magic lasso and threw it telekinetically far beyond the amazon's reach. It was powerful enough to reverse Teekl's transformation, and while it could have matched the stone's power when used for deception, the witch boy didn't want to test that theory just yet. He would be content if the superhuman pummeled her unconscious for her instult.<br/><br/>The suits of armor that seemed ornamental also started to move from behind Klarion, heading towards Wonder Woman with heavy steps. They might have been priceless artifacts before, but now they were the obedient ghost-soldiers of the witch-boy.<br/>"Come Teekl, let's look for more adventure!" - he said giggling, and headed towards the exit after the cat hopped gracefully into his arms.
