A/N: Giving Zatanna some love because I haven't featured her much.

On a hot, silent, night, the witching hour comes upon Gotham City. The shadow of a large creature with wings appears over Alex's bed, with a letter in its teeth.

"Hm? Klarion is that you?" Alex asks, waking up.

The creature reveals itself and takes Alex into its arms, holding her mouth so she doesn't scream. It flies into the night, heading to a school hidden from the human and non-magical eye.

"Alex, it's time for school!" Sam yells, knocking on Alex's door. "Alex, are you there?"

Sam presses her hand on the door, and it opens. The wind is blowing through the open window, and her bed covers are off the mattress. Something is sniffling under the bed, and when Clover looks to investigate, Oinky comes running out terrified.

"Oinky, what's wrong?" Clover asks, holding the scared pig.

"Whatever took Alex, spooked Oinky pretty bad. We should call for help," Sam responds, opening her X-Powder.

"Hey, Sammy, look. There's a drop of blood on the windowsill," Clover points out, releasing Oinky. "I'm calling Dad and Jerry."

"Dad, I'm so glad you're here!" Clover exclaims, hugging Green Lantern.

"Girls, are you alright?" Jerry asks, walking into the house.

"Yeah, we're ok. Alex is gone without a trace," Sam says, walking to Sam's room with Jerry. "I managed to get access to this database as a favor from M.O.M. So, hopefully, it picks something up."

Clover and Sam look at each other in disgust, then watch as Jerry uses a syringe and sucks up the blood, dropping it on his computer's analysis area.

"DNA inhuman. Please switch to Center Database," The computer says, opening a pop-up question.

Jerry clicks the yes button, and the computer gets a hit.

"DNA Match: Harpy!" The computer says, pulling up a picture of a harpy.

"What is a harpy doing in Gotham?" Hal asks, not noticing Batman walking in.

"I don't know, but I really don't like magic or metahumans in my city," Batman replies, startling everyone in the room. "I got reports last night of a winged creature flying into the sky with a young girl."

"If Alex still has her X-Powder we can track it," Jerry suggests, opening his gadget tracking software. "Ah, here it is. She's in the Metropolis area."

~~~~~~~~~~

"Ok, Alex. You're in a weird school floating in the sky, wearing a very cute black dress with a white heart belt with a bow, and in an auditorium with over a hundred other girls," Alex rambles, trying to figure out a way to escape.

"Wow, you must be one of the normie students. You guys always freak out when you find out you're here like you didn't get a letter. But since you're freaking out so bad, you're at Lilianor's School for Witchcraft. Everyone here has some sort of magical talent, and every year a harpy brings an incoming student for the pre-freshman orientation. You'll basically stay here for the day and at the end, you'll accept your invitation to attend the school," A blonde girl with a red headband with yellow stripes explains, looking at Alex with her shiny hazel eyes. "I'm Freya, nice to meet someone like you, Alex. By the way, you'll be extremely popular with a certain group of witches."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Alex questions, seeing a lady in a long purple dress walk to the stage.

"Good morning students of Lilianor! Today marks the future of your witchy careers. Today marks you being able to live free without restrictions in this new world where men and women in latex rule the skies and ground! Today marks you can truly be witches!" The lady proclaims, her purple hair shining like a star.
