Baby Bat's Magical Sleepover Part 13

“John you can’t do the spell,” Zatanna begged him. “I am willing to pay the price, just please don’t take her away from me!”

“Calm down love,” Constantine said to her, lightly placing his hand on her shoulder while looking at her with a faint smile. “There is no spell to change this, at least not now there isn’t. Here whip your tears, the lot of you and ill explain everything,” he said handing the four girls a handkerchief each.

“Okay now that you are calm I can explain everything,” Constantine said to them. “As I told you last night you upset the balance by changing Batman into Bee. The beings that governed said balance waited to see how things played out, and eventually came to the conclusion that Bee would be able to stay as is, though to solidify this they tweaked a few things here and there and somewhat manipulated the girl to give herself and two others new powers. This is an irreversible act that cannot be changed, so you all better you used to it.”

“When this happened that bloke Spectre contacted me and told me what I needed to do, calling in the favor I owed him. Well, you could call it a stroke of good luck. Though seriously he couldn’t do this himself, he just had to make me out to be the bad guy here.”

“Look Zee, I never wanted to cause you or Bee this kind of stress, but Spectre said that I had to. I had to make sure that Bee would stay as Bee. The beings that govern the balance would not take too kindly to any more changes. There is only a small amount that they can tolerate, and you lot were lucky that they were generous to you. The rest of the League that was in favor of this is facing their punishments right now.”

“What’s going to happen to them?” Zatanna asked. “Let’s just say that they are facing a similar but more extreme version of what you did to Batman. Don’t worry they’ll all be back by sundown, hopefully with a better understanding of what it means to upset the balance.”

“So, this was all a test?” Bee asked Constantine.

“Yes, it was love, and you passed, congratulations, now my role is finally done,” Constantine said standing up. His job was done, now it was time for him to get out of there. All of this mushy shit made him want a drink.

“Thank you, John,” Zatanna said to him, as he opened the door. “And if you ever do reconsider, Bee could use a father figure like you. Your not the best example to follow, but I can tell that you would be a doting father.”

“Think what you want love,” Constantine said, lighting up a cigarette, before shutting the door behind him, though despite his demeanor he would come back eventually.

The rest of the weekend was what one would expect. The girls played and had fun, while Zatanna made sure to familiarize herself with their powers. Mary had new water and ice magical abilities alongside her original magic. Milagro and Pino possessed fire magic and Pino could even speak now. It came as a surprise to all of them when she began speaking English. Perhaps it was just another effect of the spell that Bee used.

As for her precious daughter, Bee now had lighting magic. Though compared to the other two it was a bit more sporadic, almost as if they were tied to her emotions. It would take them all some time to get used to these new gifts they had been granted.
