Regain Consciousness, in Children Dimension...
Though he was out for only a few minutes, Robin was able to wake up back to reality after he and Artemis got shot by lightning from the Ambre Jeune Perdu, the yellow-gem that sat in the center of the pentagram of Klarion's. When he was able to sit up, with his body still stunned from the full blast of the lightning, he watched the remainder of his team fighting or struggling against Klarion: Conner was busy fighting and holding off Teekl, who just grew and turned himself into a giant saber tooth tiger-cat. Kaldur was being held down by the lightning and using his right-hand to hold it off, M'gann was still using her Telekinesis powers to through rocks at the barrier while talking with Captain Marvel, who is Billy Batson at the moment, and Wally was on the ground after being hit by the lightning.

The only one standing and not being harm is Zatanna... And in her hand, she held the Helmet of Fate. Robin's eyes widen in fear, knowing that she would be trapped and become Doctor Fate's host forever if she puts the helmet on.

"It's the ge-!"

Before Billy could finish his sentence, a hand covered his mouth and the hand turned his face to show it was Miss Martian who stopped him from telling the team on how to stop Klarion and to bring their world back together.

[Don't shout, Billy. I've linked you telepathically to the others.] M'gann

[That's so cool! I mean- It's the gem, at the center of the pentagram. Destroy it, and we win!] Billy

"That's all I needed to know..." Zatanna whispered, as she held it over her head. Using his quick thinking and reflexes, Robin quickly got to his feet and ran towards the young magician.

"Zee, no!" He cried, leaping in the air and snatching the helmet out of her grasp.

"Robin, what are you doing?!" Zatanna cried out, staring completely shocked that her friend has regained consciousness so soon after being hit by lightning. "We need Doctor Fate! It's the only way to stop Klarion and bring our Dimensions back together as one!"

The Boy Wonder knew she is right, but knows he can't let her put the helmet on. He then turned his gaze back to his friends: Kaldur was losing the fight against the lightning, Teekl is having the upper hand and beating Conner, M'gann was having trouble breaking through the barrier, Artemis is still unconscious, Billy couldn't do anything to help without having to turn into Captain Marvel and Wally was still having trouble getting up after being shot by the lightning blast also.

Robin then turned his gaze to the helmet, staring into the non-existing eyes of Doctor Fate as if asking it what he should do. However, deep inside, the boy already knew what he must do to end this battle and restore the Earth.

"Robin, please!" Zatanna called out, making her way towards the Boy Wonder. Robin lifted his gaze to Zatanna and gave her a sad smile.

"Zee, you're right about one thing." He said, clenching his hand around the golden-helmet. "We do need Doctor Fate... But he's not going to be coming back from you."

"R... Robin? What are you saying?" He just kept smiling at her.

"I'm not going to break my promise, Zatanna." He said, lifting the helmet up. "And I won't have you and your father be apart, not like me."

The magician immediately understood what he was going to do.

"Robin, don't!" She cried. Kaldur turned his gaze from her cry, his eyes widening from the sight of the helmet in Robin's hands and over his head.

"Robin!" He cried. Wally lifted himself halfway up, and was also startled at the sight of the helmet and his best friend.

"Stop!" He yelled. Before Zatanna could say or do anything, Robin gave his last words to her.

"Tell the team and League that I'll miss them, and to stay traught. Also, tell Batman I said thanks... And to always remember, that I love him as my father."

He then closed his eyes, despite them being covered by the Domino mask, and brought the helmet down.

"Robin, no!" Zatanna cried, but it was already too late... The helmet has been placed over his head, his masked eyes opened and a flash of light came through the slit of the helmet.

The moment the light has dimmer and those who had seen the light or been through the experience, already knew there was nothing they can do to change or stop it: Robin, partner and protégé of Batman; Richard John Grayson, ward of Bruce Wayne; Dick Grayson, the Last Flying Grayson... Is gone.

Inside the Helmet of Fate...
The moment Robin opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded in total darkness, except for the light shining down upon him... And, in front of him, upon the Helmet of Fate.

'I did it,' he thought. 'I've prevented Zatanna from putting on the Helmet of Fate, and became Doctor Fate in her place.'

"Boy, why did you do it?" A voice from behind him asked, startling the Boy Wonder when he thought he and the helmet were the only ones within the darkness.

"You're Kent Nelson, aren't you?" He asked, staring at the old man that came into view and stood at his right.

"That is correct," the man answered. "Now, tell me why you put the helmet on instead of letting the girl do so?"

Before he could answer, the Helmet of Fate glowed and the empty slits shined towards the darkness behind the two.

"Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together, for The Flying Graysons!"

The sound of Mr. Haly's voice and the sight of him from the past made Robin stare wide eye at the scene.

"What's happening?" He asked, turning to Kent.

"Nabu is showing us why you put the helmet on and prevented the girl from doing so." The elder replied.

Then, the scene showed five trapeze artists on two of the platforms from above, all waving at the crowd and wearing their trapeze costume, which was red and white-vests and black tights. On the left-pole, that was holding up a part of the Big Top was a man, woman and a fourteen year-old teen on a platform. To the right-pole, also holding up a part of the giant tent, was another man and another woman on a platform, as well.

"The Flying Graysons shall be performing, without the safety of a net!" Mr. Haly explained to the audience, as the five Flying Graysons leap in the air and began to do their flips and stunts on the two poles. "That's right, folks, the Flying Graysons are the only people on Earth who can do a quadruple-flip while in the air!"

Robin then turned his gaze from the sight of the scene, knowing what's going to happen next.

"And now, for the youngest member of this happy family: Dick Grayson!"

The lights turned to the platform on the right-pole and shined at the eight year-old, who also wore the red and white-vest, along with the black tights and shoes that goes with it.

Before he could prepare himself leap into his mother's arms like his cousin from the other side has done, he noticed something wrong with the ropes of the poles that his family are swinging on when he noticed it jostling slightly down. He looked very closely at the rope and his Cerulean/Sapphire-eyes widen when he saw that they were cut and were slowly breaking from their hold together. When his mother came into view, she noticed that her son wasn't focusing on getting ready for the grand finale. Even if he were the one holding his wife while keeping his legs curled tightly around the pole, John also noticed his son sudden gaze on the rope. The other parents of the Graysons, on the other trapeze, didn't see what John and Mary saw, for they were too busy keeping their eyes on their son, John, to leap into his mother's arms... And he did, right when John Sr. turned his head to look up and stare at the rope giving away.

"Rick! Karla! John!" Richard Sr. was the only one to turn his head and his eyes widen when he saw the rope of his brother's giving away, while feeling his own pole giving away from his family's combined weight before there was nothing to see anymore. John Sr. then turned back to see his son one last time, both their eyes widening and staring into each others' irises and having their silent conversation.

Dad...?

John simply lowered his eyes halfway closed, with tears forming within his brown-eyes.

I'm sorry, son...

At that moment, their rope finally gave away and that was when gravity pulled John and Mary down. With her hands still reaching out for their son, Mary was able to cry out one last word before they started to plummet.

"DICK!"

Dick could hear the fear in her voice, but it also cried out the love that both she and John has for him.

We love you...

Dick reached his small hands towards her, hoping he could save his parents from falling to their deaths, just as his relatives had. However, their fingers simply and only brushing against each other and the boy was already too late to grab her hands.

"NU!(NO!)" He cried, as he watched his family, his blood-family, falling to their deaths. The sound of bone breaking, bodies snapping and ground thumping, made the boy fall to his hands and knees. He gripped the edge of the platform, his eyes still on his family, as tears streamed down his face.

Everybody in the crowd gasped in shock, screamed in horror and some even stood out of their spots to get a better look at the family on the ground. Mr. Haly was completely petrified when he had watched most of his trapeze artists fall to their deaths, but was completely terrified for the boy still on the platform.

Their bloods now painted the ground, their bones sticking out of their bodies and skins and all their glass-eyes finally got Dick to breakdown and cry.

Kent was completely speechless from witnessing Robin's past, and was startled to see the Boy Wonder shedding tears.

"Boy..." He whispered, as the scene finally vanished.

"I didn't want either Zatanna or Zatara to experience losing a love one." Robin whispered, as he wiped away the tears from his cheeks. He then noticed that his Domino-mask was no longer on his face to keep his identity safe, but he knew that he didn't have to worry about that anymore, knowing that the Helmet of Fate would keep his face concealed from anybody who would try to see who he really is underneath the golden-helmet. "After I became Robin, I made a promise to never let anybody else go through watching their family die or leaving them... Like I had to."

"And your actions alone had both spared the girl's life from being my host, and released me when the world was in need for me." The helmet said to the boy. "You have proven yourself worthy enough on becoming my host, along with your vast knowledge and willingness to protect life from evil... You also have something great within you; something that makes you unique, and yet different from the humans..."

Robin lowered his head to the helmet, feeling gratified from the helmet's words, and a little surprised that the helmet could sense a certain secret he's been keeping deep within himself, but deeply wounded from having to watch his past all over again.

"Nabu, you have to let the boy go when this is all over." Kent told the Helmet of Fate, glaring at the golden-helmet. Even though with no eyes, Robin could somehow tell that the helmet is glaring at Kent from his demands and choice of words.

"No," it said. "I have waited long enough for a host and the world will fall into ruin if I am to release this child's body... And for that, I shall not release him."

"Nabu, he has a family to go back to." Kent pushed on, placing a hand the boy's right-shoulder with his left-hand. "He doesn't even have any magic within him and is still a mere child at the age of thirteen, who has been through enough already... I beg of you, release this child from your hold when the fight is over."

"Though most to what you said about him is true, but I shall not release him." The helmet said. "He has great courage inside of him. He is far more skilled than my last two hosts, even more than his whole team and most of the Justice League combined. He also knew the consequences when he put on the Helmet of Fate, which means he has willingly accepted on becoming my host for the sake of the world."

"Nabu, he is not the right host to obtain your powers!" Kent was now furious, as he kept fighting on having Wally's friend being freed from this fate. "He is not physically strong enough to endure the amount of magic you would use against Klar—"

"SILENCE!" The helmet ordered, as slits eyes glowed white-yellow and a flash of energy heading towards the elder. Going by instinct, Robin pushed Kent aside and took the blast for the elder man. The shot of the energy coursed through his body, almost like the lightning from earlier, only it was worse... Much more worse, and painful. "Witness on what you've brought upon me and this child, Kent Nelson! He has given his own life and safety, even his very soul, to keep you safe from my punishment that was meant for you." The light-energy finally stopped and Robin fell to a kneeling position. Despite panting for air and clenching a hand over his chest, the boy struggled back to his feet and fought the feeling on collapsing. "He also has great endurance if he is able to get back to his feet after taking my attack, which was halfway at its full force... He is the perfect candidate on being my host, especially for one so small and young."

Kent, who was on the floor while Robin was being attacked, was able to get back to his feet and made his way towards the standing child.

"He may have proven himself worthy, Nabu, but you mustn't take him away from those who care and love him."

Now, there was only silence, besides Robin's slow panting and the sound of bones popping being echoed throughout the darkness. Fearing that the helmet would try and attack Kent again, Robin limped his way in front of Kent.

"Helmet of Fate... Nabu," he said. "I ask of you- No, I beg of you, to not punish Kent. I've already made my decision on being your host the moment I witnessed Zatanna holding the helmet in her hands and I willingly gave myself for you to control. I only ask of you to spare Kent and to protect those I cherish and love as my family... That's all I ask from you..."

Again, silence greeted him, besides the breathing of his and Kent. It seems like forever, until the boy got a response.

"Very well," the helmet said. "For your bravery, selflessness and compassion for others, I shall spare Kent Nelson and protect those you love and cherish."

Robin smiled in gratitude, and bowed his head to the helmet to show his respect.

"Thank you," he said. Though it made the boy happy to hear his request being granted, it was bad news for Kent.

"Boy, you do know that you may never go back to your friends?" He asked, trying to reason both the Boy Wonder and the helmet. "You may never physically see them, the League or Batman again, but only through the helmet?"

"It doesn't matter," the boy replied. "As long as they're safe, I have no regret on being Doctor Fate's host."

Kent move up beside the boy again.

"Nabu, as the former wearer of the Helmet of Fate, I ask of you, again, to release the boy when the fight is over."

"You may have been the former wearer and user of my powers, but that does not mean I have to listen to what you ask of me to do." The Helmet of Fate replied, the slits glowing white-yellow again. "And because you have pestered me on releasing the other two wearers and are asking me to do so again, I have decided to release you into the Afterlife."

Kent's eyes widen in shock from the news, slowly backing up and away from the helmet. Robin's eyes widen underneath the mask, turning between the helmet and the spirit of the elder.

"Doctor Fate, you promised to not harm him!" He cried, standing in-between the two.

"I am not harming him by releasing his spirit into the Afterlife, boy. He has stayed within the helmet the moment he had died, so I am going to give him the freedom he has deserved, which he will soon be reunited to his Beloved."

Robin looked behind the man he is protecting from Doctor Fate, not sure if he should let the Helmet of Fate release the man's spirit to the Afterlife or talk him into letting Kent stay.

"Nabu, you mustn't release me." Kent said, though a bit happy and anxious of the thought of being free from fate. "The boy will need somebody to teach him how to control and endure your powers, along with having somebody there for him besides a helmet as company."

"Wait, you mean throughout your years as Doctor Fate and being his host, you've been in this darkness on your own?"

"It may seem like a fate worse than death, kid, but we all have to make sacrifices for the greater or better good."

The thought on how the elder is giving his own freedom away to stay with him instead of going to the Afterlife to be free, Robin lowered his gaze to the dark ground from the words Kent had told him. He then stepped aside from helmet's gaze.

"No," he said. "I won't let you give up your chance of freedom if I'm the cause of you throwing it away." He then lifted his head towards the helmet. "Release him."

And so, light energy came to the helmet's slits again, and they went towards Kent without any interruptions this time.

"No, Nabu!" The elder cried, as the light energy began to circle his body and slowly lift him in the air. "Boy, you don't know what you're doing!"

"I'm afraid I do, Kent." Robin said, watching the elder slowly vanishing into the air. "Tell my folks I said 'Hi' and I hope you get to be reunited with your wife, again."

Soon, the light energy gotten brighter and the thirteen year-old was force to cover his eyes to prevent blindness. Seconds later, the light dimmer and it was safe for the boy uncover his eyes, only to see Kent Nelson is no longer with him and is now all alone in the darkness with the Helmet of Fate.

"Boy, the time has come to face Klarion." The helmet said. "As the new wearer and user of my powers, will you fight along side with me?"

Robin smiled at the helmet, as he raised both his hands towards the golden-helmet.

"Yes, I will." He replied. "I will do whatever it takes to save my friends and family... And for that, I trust you with my life and shall fight along side with you." Then, the helmet slowly lowered itself towards his gloved hands and the boy put the helmet over his head like before. "Lets do this."

Back to Reality...
The moment the light has dimmer, everyone, even Klarion and Keetl, were completely shocked from the sight of Doctor Fate soaring in the air. To Klarion, it was a big surprise on how Doctor Fate, who is an adult, is in this Dimension and hadn't disappeared. However, to the Team, who are conscious, it was a terrible sight to see their friend being controlled by Doctor Fate. They know that he is still here, but he will no longer be with them.

They'll no longer see his bright smile to make sad days go happy, no longer hear his cackle of a laugh when popping out of nowhere, or spend time with their 'little brother' they grew to know and love. The surprising part for them, they could now see his eyes and not the whiteness of the Domino-mask he wears. The eyes were a brightest blue they have even seen, a mixture of a Cerulean/Sapphire, a color that makes them think of the ocean or in some of their history classes: Queen Marie of Romania's Sapphire.

"Klarion, this ends now!" The voice of Doctor Fate, mixed with Robin, declared to the Witch Boy.

Klarion snarled at the sight of his old foe.

M'gann turned to the ten year-old.

[Billy, tell Zatara!]

"Right, yeah." The boy replied. "Shazam!" And like that, with a streak of light, the boy is gone, back in the Adult's Dimension as Captain Marvel.

Miss Martian then turned back to the battle, where Doctor Fate was fighting Klarion. She closed her eyes, trying to see, or feel, if she can sense the youngest team member's presence. No matter how hard she concentrated or focuses her mind on Doctor Fate's, she knew that she could no longer sense the thirteen year-old's presence with them.

At Adult Dimension, on Roanoke Island...
"He did what?" Zatara asked Captain Marvel, as he held up a shield from three of the sorcerers' attacks, who were Wotan, Felix Faust and Wizard. "Batman isn't going to like this..." He muttered to himself, not sure on how the Dark Knight is going to take the news once he hears that his ward, his son, is now the new host for Doctor Fate. "Captain, go back to their Dimension and-"

"No." Captain Marvel interrupted. "The sooner we end this fight, the sooner we can help Robin. Keep the bad guys distracted, I have an idea." With that said, the hero flew up into the sky. "Speed of Mercury! Power of Zeus!" He then dived back down towards earth and spun rapidly, like a drill, into the hard ground.

Back to Children Dimension...
The fight went on, with the remaining team fighting Klarion, with the new Doctor Fate on their side. The sorcerer kept attacking the Witch Boy with magical light beams, trying to break through the red-barrier.

Suddenly, without warning, Robin's body separated itself from Doctor Fate and became the Boy Wonder once more, with his Domino-mask still on covering his eyes before he placed the Helmet of Fate over his face. He gasped in shock, as he began to fall towards the earth, until his body turned itself back into Doctor Fate in mere seconds and his Cerulean/Sapphire-eyes widen in confusion of the sudden change.

'What the?' He thought, as he became Robin again and then back to Doctor Fate in just five-seconds. 'What's happening?'

"HA! There! See?" Klarion cried out, as Doctor Fate and Robin kept flashing to be either the Boy Wonder or the Ancient Sorcerer in five-seconds or less. "When the worlds divided, the helmet splits too. You're not all here, Nabu. And you're losing hold on that poor, soon-to-be-dead boy!" The witch boy scoffed proudly. "Aw, he gave himself up for nothing."

When Robin and Doctor Fate finally gained control and stay as the Ancient Sorcerer, their angers flaring at what the Lord of Chaos had said.

"No, Witch boy!" They yelled, though Doctor Fate's voice was mostly heard over the boy's. Robin could feel the Ancient Sorcerer was becoming more angry than he was, as they raised his left-hand in the air to gather as much energy as they can. "Fate decrees his sacrifice shall not be in vain!"

They then released the energy in a great blow towards Klarion's shield, and with the help from Aqualad using his water bearers as hammers and Miss Martian using her Telekinesis to lift heavy rocks and throwing at the shield, they finally broke through.

"No, no, no, no, no, no! No!" Klarion cried, falling to his knees as the barrier fell with him. Doctor Fate then sent an Ankh-Symbol shaped cuffs towards the Witch Boy, trapping and preventing him from moving or escaping.

"Kid, now!" Aqualad called out. As quick as a... Well, flash, Kid Flash sprinted towards the pentagram and plucked the gem out of the ground.

"Doc, catch!" The redhead shouted, tossing the Ambre Jeune Perdu Gem towards the Ancient Sorcerer in the air.

Back in Adult Dimension...
At the same time in the Adult Dimension, Captain Marvel tunneled his way underneath the adult sorcerers' pentagram. When he resurfaced, he came up through the center of the pentagram, with the Ambre Jeune Perdu in his hand.

"Zatara, catch!" He called out, tossing it towards the magician.

The moment magician and Ancient Sorcerer caught the gems, the three then chanted a spell together in a unison.

"Yam eht owt emoceb eno ecno erom (May the two become one once more)!" It soon caused a ripple of light to spread across the parted worlds.

The two Gems of Ambre Jeune Perdu were back into one and is now in Zatara's hand. Now, with their Dimensions back together as one and the evil sorcerers defeated, both Justice League and the Team were reunited and together again. The four adult Sorcerers: Wotan, Blackbriar Thorn, Felix Faust and Wizard, fell from the great power, overwhelmed, while Klarion was still down at his knees and cuffed by the Ankh-Symbol.

"Boy, they sure don't make evil immortal sorcerers like they used to." Klarion stated from his spot on the pentagram. "Oh well..." The boy said, with a shrug. And then, with a snap of his fingers, the Ankh-symbol slowly disintegrated into thin air, freeing the Witch Boy from its grasp. "Fun while it lasted..." He stated, as he stood and wiped away the dust off his shirt and sleeves. "Teekl!" He called out to his familiar, who had Conner pinned down by the right-paw after chasing him during the fight.

The monstrous feline came to Klarion's beckoning, transforming back into his cat-form while heading back to the Boy of Chaos. The cat then leap into the boy's arms and the young-sorcerer opened a portal of glowing red-light.

"See you later, Armadillos!" He called to everyone. "Unless I see you first." And with that said, the Lord of Chaos took his leave, disappearing into the portal, with his cackle fading with it. Kid flash halted to where the portal was just at, standing just underneath where Doctor Fate hovered in the air.

"Aren't you going after him?" He exclaimed, dramatically gesturing to where Klarion had just escaped. Doctor Fate made no move to stop the witch boy.

"To what end? Klarion is chaos personified. He cannot be contained." The Ancient Sorcerer stated, humbly.

Once Batman tied the four remaining sorcerers, the younger team gathered around.

"Urge..." Artemis groaned, as she finally regain consciousness and being helped back to her feet by Zatanna. "Did we win?" She asked the team, still staring to where Klarion had vanished.

"At a cost..." Kaldur replied, as the team turned their gaze to see Doctor Fate hovering behind them in the air.

When the four Justice League came to the team and turned their gaze to the Ancient Sorcerer as well, Batman was completely startled. Zatara could see the stunned gaze through the Dark Knight's cowl, feeling terrible for the man to see his partner and son trapped within the helmet. But the wide-eye shocked cowl quickly turned into scowling whites filled with rage. He then stepped up in front of the Team.

"Fate!... Release Robin, now!"

The Ancient Sorcerer floated there, scowling back at the Dark Knight behind the helmet. Finally, he spoke.

"No..."

Both the Adults and the younger team jerked, and all stared at him in shock. All but Batman, who's eyes narrowed and physically gritted his teeth, growling.

"Witness the havoc rise in these hours. The world needs Doctor Fate. And the boy's vast knowledge and devotion to protect all lives from evil, makes him the perfect candidate."

"You can't do that!" Artemis yelled.

"He has his own life to live!" Zatanna hollered out, as tears streamed down her face.

"Kent would never allow you-" Before Wally could finish whatever he was going to say, Doctor Fate beat him to it.

"Kent Nelson did object, strenuously. So, I released his spirit into the Afterlife... He is gone."

Nobody knows what to do now, knowing that none of them would have the courage or strength to take Robin's place to be Doctor Fate's host.

"Take me instead..." Batman said, earning some gasps and eyes widening heroes. "I am physically stronger and have the exact same skills he has."

"All true. But if I remove the helmet, what guarantee do I have that you will don it?"

"I give you my word... As a mentor and a father."

For those who don't truly know about the connection between Batman and Robin, the Team and some of the League (Captain Marvel and Red Tornado) were really surprise to hear the Dark Knight confess that he is the father of the happy and cheerful Boy Wonder. After waiting for a few seconds, the Ancient Sorcerer narrowed the blue-eyes of the boy the Dark Knight had raised as if he were like his own son.

"However, Dark Knight, I know of your background as the Master of Deception and an expert in the Art of Trickery. For that, I cannot and will not believe thy words." From hearing his offer being refused, Batman was now furious.

"You son of a-!" He yelled, getting into his defensive stance, as if preparing himself to attack the Ancient Magician. Before he could continue his words, Doctor Fate held out a hand to continue.

"Furthermore, the City of Gotham is not ready to lose one of her protectors, especially the Dark Knight, himself. And if you were to become my new host and place the responsibility as Protector of Gotham to the boy, he will most likely perish and the City of Gotham shall fall."

No matter how much he hates to admit it, Batman knew that the Ancient Sorcerer is right. Gotham would most likely be killed if he wasn't there to stop the villains, even if Robin were to have Batgirl at his side and Alfred to guide him. He couldn't place that responsibility on the boy, especially when he is still a child. He then lowered his stance and his gaze to the ground, with his hands tightening into fists.

"Then, take me!" Kid Flash cried, walking up a few steps in front of Batman.

"Kid, no!" Aqualad cried, making his way beside the nephew of Flash.

"You, Speedster?"

"Yes, take me." Wally pressed on. "I had worn the helmet before Kaldur and Robin, so I have experience the use of your powers. I'm super fast. And, nothing bad will happen to Central City if I'm gone."

"Wally..." Artemis whispered, feeling a pang in her heart from the thought of the redhead being gone and being replaced as Doctor Fate.

"So, we have a deal?"

Silenced was heard, as Doctor Fate studied the redhead in front of him. Suddenly, he threw his head back and released a deep chuckle, with the mixture of Robin's cackle echoing it.

"You are very brave," he complemented. "And so persistent." Being a speedster, Kid Flash grew impatient from the delay for his question to be answered.

"So, do we have a deal or not?" He pushed on, tapping his foot like a rabbit on a log. Again, nothing came out from the Ancient Sorcerer when he finished laughing. Without thinking on controlling himself, Wally snapped. "I give you my word, as a friend and a brother, that I will put the stupid helmet on if you let Robin go!"

As quick as his laughter has died, his humor left and his gaze narrowed once again in anger.

"You dare to think of yourself higher than I, boy?!" He yelled, startling some of the team while Kid Flash stand his ground. "Even though you have adorned the helmet before, does not mean you can disrespect my powers and believe you are more supreme than I! It may also be true that you had once used my powers, but it does not mean that you are fit to hold the title of Doctor Fate, especially on becoming my host! You are too rash, cocky, and impatient. With these, I will not pass over the role to you."

Kid Flash closed his green-eyes and bowed his head in shame, as Kaldur placed his right-hand on his left-shoulder.

"If Kid Flash cannot take the role as Doctor Fate once more, then allow me to be the replacement for Robin." The Atlantean offered, only he earned the glaring eyes from the Ancient Sorcerer. "I also give you my word, as a leader of the Team, a friend, and brother."

"You may have what is qualified to become my host last time, but there are others who needs your guidance." Doctor Fate explained. "Not only would the Team most likely fall, but your body won't be able to last long on the surface world without water. And if you were to make the boy leader, the pressure will cause him to lose focus and most likely get you all killed."

The Cerulean/Sapphire-eyes then turned to the other Justice League and Team.

"And if any of the rest of you wish to take my host's place, then it is out of the question. For you see, he has given his own word and life to keep you all safe from harm by becoming my host. If you cannot see what this boy has sacrificed, then you are all fools to see the kindness he has given you, as his friends and family."

He then turned back to Batman.

"As for you, Dark Knight, you should've been grateful on taking the boy under your care the moment he lost everything he owned and to have come into your life. Instead, you pushed him away and showed no compassion or feelings for the boy when he needed you. Despite how you treated him, he had loved you and will always think of you as his father."

Every word that came out from Doctor Fate and Robin, had stung the Dark Knight's heart. The Ancient Sorcerer then turned to Zatanna, who is being held by her father and weeping into his chest.

"Young Magician child, one known as 'Zatanna Zatara', be grateful that this boy has giving his own life to spare yours from this fate." And then to Zatara. "Master Magician, one known as 'Giovanni Zatara', if your daughter were to become my host, would you had given your own life for hers?"

"Within a heartbeat, I would... For the sake of my child." Zatara answered, tightening his grip onto his child.

"And that is another reason why this boy had taken your daughter's place as my host, for he had a feeling that you would most likely try and take your daughter's place as my host. And from witnessing his past and hearing a promise he had made to himself, he had no regrets on keeping your family together."

Doctor Fate then turned his gaze towards the four sorcerers, before lifting his gaze towards the clouded sky.

"Though you all may be hurt and confused of his actions, he wish of you to respect his wishes and new role as Doctor Fate." He then lifted a hand towards the tied up sorcerers. "Leave these to their fate."

Before anybody could say anything, Ancient Sorcerer and evil sorcerers suddenly had been surrounded by glowing light, and then vanished within the light.

The moment Doctor Fate and the four captured sorcerers were gone, nobody of the Team or the Justice League know what to do. For they all knew, even Batman, that the youngest of the Team and the League, is gone.

Sort of my thought of what if Robin worn the Helmet of Fate instead of Zatanna because he doesn't want another family to fall apart like his.
