[3rd Pov] [Location - Tower of Fate]

After stepping into the tower, the door behind the group closed, and then magically vanished.

"Uh, where'd the door go?" Superboy asked as the group looked around, trying to find the now missing door. Gwen on the otherhand, was inwardly contemplating something.

'Should I take the helmet myself? As in, try and become it's wearer? Chances are, I am more than qualified, it's just, can the system protect me from Nabu? And would Nabu even want me as it's wearer/champion?' Gwen contemplated, wondering whether or not it was a good idea.

[The being known as Nabu is far weaker than the system. Thus, the user needs not worry about Nabu forcefully taking control of the users body]

'Well...that answers that' Gwen thought, before continuing her thought process 'I guess the best plan would be to meet with Nabu myself, and see beforehand. If he's willing to allow me to remain in control of my body, while still giving me his power, then I'll be the new Doctor Fate, if not, I guess it'll be collecting dust' Gwen thought, while the rest of the group was more focused on a glowing hologram-like Kent Nelson.

Gwen was cut off from her thoughts, as the floor below them disappeared, revealing boiling lava below. "Agh what the hell!" Gwen screamed out, as she began to fall through the hole.

"Fucking hell Wally!" Gwen scowled out, as she rapidly began to web the rest of the group. "Red Tornado sent us to make sure Kent Nelson and the helmet were safe!" Gwen said, knowing that they didn't actually answer the question, not properly at least.

Hearing this, the tower seemingly responded to the words, as the lava disappeared and was replaced with a simple stone ground.

Dropping to the ground, the rest of the group soon followed, after ripping her webs off of them, with some help.

"Thank you, Ghost" Kaldur said with a nod.

"No problem. Wally, next time, don't lie to the damn magical defense system" Gwen said looking to Wally, who blinked.

"When did this become my fault?" Wally asked in confusion.

"When you lied to the towers defense mechanism. You called yourself a true believer, when you evidently are not one" Gwen continued, as the group looked to him in disbelief, mostly M'gann and Kaldur.

"Wally, you don't believe?" M'gann said, genuinely surprised.

Wally went silent for a second, looking to the group, before sighing and speaking "Fine! Fine! I lied about believing in magic. But magic is the real lie, a major load"

"Wally, I studied for a year at the Conservatory of Sorcery in Atlantis. The mystic arts created the skin icons that power my water bearers" Kaldur said, in disbelief at Wally's attitude.

"Dude, you ever hear of bioelectricity? Hey, in primitive cultures fire was once considered magical, too. Today it's all just a bunch of tricks" Wally said in defense.

"You do realize that a part of my power comes from magic as well, right?" Gwen said looking to him, not really caring to hid this little part of her anymore.

"Wait really?" Artemis said in surprise.

"Mmhmm, I'm what's called a spider totem, it's complicated as shit, but all you need to know, is that I am probably more magical in nature than anyone else in this room" Gwen said, as spider totems and just about every spiderman, was inherently magical and scientific in nature, mostly magical.
