Masters of the Mystic (male child reader X adoptive mother Zatanna Zatara)

Chapter 3

(y/n) POV

I prepared to do my spell and seal away the monster. "(Y/N)!" Wonder Woman shouted as she grabbed me and flew away from the monster before landing miles away on the roof of a building, "Why are you here? It is not safe, you are not fit for battle!" She said, "Protect Mama." I said I was tempted to use magic to reveal my plan to her, but I knew I was going to need all the strength I could muster. So instead I grabbed a broken pole and tried my best to write out my plan with a mixture of words and pictures. "I believe I understand, you wish to seal away Doomsday correct?" She asked I nodded, "Tis a bold plan, but not one for a child to undertake. I shall relay this to your mother and together we shall fulfill your plan. I shall return to retrieve you once the battle has ended." She said as she turned to leave, "NO!" I cried as I grabbed her hand, "You could die, little one, your life affects more than just your mother's life. You affected me and my life. If you show me that your spirit is strong and that you possess the will and strength to stand and fight, then I shall lend you my blade and all of my strength." She said.

Diana POV

I couldn't help but look back at the drawings and saw one that detailed the ending of his plan. A small grave with a woman standing over it, "You plan on meeting your end in this battle." I said in shock as I saw (y/n) tremble, "Do you know what this will do to our mother? It will break her!" I said, "I know." he said forcing a smile, "You'll help her." he said, "Very well, you have my sword, but not my respect. If you survive, then and only then will you gain my respect." I said as I picked him up and flew back to the battle leaving him near enough that he'd be able to cast his spell.

(y/n) POV

I clapped my hands together and a bubble appeared around me shielding me from all attacks. Runes and sigils appeared outside the bubble revolving around it. "Hard part!" I said as the bubble moved away from me and soon I was holding it in place outside of it. I forced it to compress and continued to do so until I could hold it in my hands. I struggled to contain it, the raw power I held in the palms of my hands could level cities and kill hundreds of millions of people! I looked over at my mother who was just regaining consciousness and looked at me in shock and horror, I smiled before looking back at the monster, "(Y/N)!" Mama cried, "NOW!" I yelled and Wonder Woman dodged out of the way while I teleported to the monster. I cast one final spell a barrier that nothing on the inside could escape from and resist anyone trying to enter from outside. It would only last a few seconds, but that's all I needed. I felt so weak, and everything was moving in slow motion except for the Flash, he just stood there slamming his fists on the barrier trying to stop me, I looked at Mama one last time and saw Wonder Woman holding her back, with my resolve renewed I slammed the spell into the monster pulling it into the bubble as it collapsed into infinite realities, but should it manage to find this reality again the spell would break. The barrier was collapsing and a beam of excess magic shot into the sky the barrier acted like the barrel of a gun, and with a massive bang windows shattered and car alarms blared. I knew people would be terrified, so I raised my fist in the dissipating trail of magic, hoping to make it a beacon of hope for all who saw it. "Can't see. Can't stand." I said weakly, "HOLD ON KID!" the Flash said, "So cold." I said as I closed my eyes.

Flash POV

I took (y/n) to the Watchtower medical bay, "Damn it! His heart's stopped!" I said as I phased my hand into his chest and massaged his heart so it would restart naturally, finally, it started to beat again, but it was weak. I sped around hooking him up to medical instruments attempting to save his life, but his heart stopped again! It was too risky to massage his heart again so I began chest compressions, "Come on kid! Don't give up! I've seen you around and I should've introduced myself sooner, but  I swear, if you make it through this I'll do better and introduce myself properly!" I said, "COME ON! I can't lose another person!" I said as I tore off my mask and let tears fall from my eyes as the three-minute mark came and went. "DAMN IT!" I shouted as I punched the wall breaking my hand, "(Y/N)!" Zatanna shouted as she ran into the room with Wonder Woman, "I'm sorry. I tried everything I could think of. I...I just wasn't fast enough." I said sadly as Wonder Woman put her hand on Zatanna's shoulder.

3rd Person POV

The three heroes left to place (y/n)'s photo on the monument of fallen heroes, he had more than earned it, but a single sound that could easily have been missed stopped them, it was the heart monitor beeping indicating that the boy had come back. Meanwhile, this happy moment was darkened by the arrival of a new threat.
