Flash back: Sometimes you need a Doctor
A small town in upper New York state had been taken over by demons. That was when someone had come to put a stop to it. No lives had been lost that day. The magic had been reversed and the Doctor had been very kind to most of the people in the town.

Except for the young sorcerer who had been the source of the demons. They were a novice truly and had been given a very stern lecture on magic and taking care. This is the eighth sighting of Doctor Fate since his disappearance over a decade and a half ago. No one knows who this truly is or where he came from just that he has been showing up off and on since around Christmas.

He has not yet made contact with anyone from the old guard. It is almost March now and he is looking ready to depart now that he is done.

	"Excuse me, Doctor," Tess said, voice projected but calm. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I know you," he said suddenly then paused. "No. One before me knew your father, I think. Unless I am wrong." He steps closer looking curious as one can with a helmet hiding their face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am unsure if it is the home.... my most recent barer needs. I will go with you though to talk." He tilts his head slightly. "Perhaps it is time he understands what has been happening to him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He is... an old soul and a good man, Teresa. You will be glad to have him." Fate does not mean an old soul literally but there is no other way to describe one who can handle this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Magical teleportation is both fast and easy for someone like him. They re in the living room and he has taken over a big comfortable looking recliner. "He may panic a bit at first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He thinks he is going mad. He only gets hints of what I have been doing. After this... I will lift the veil. He will see and understand all," he informs Tess seriously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It takes a moment but the helmet is resting in Mark's lap. He is a very confused still young looking man. Clearly older than the people that will be a part of the JSA now but it makes little difference. "Wha... What's going on? Where am I?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's still confused. "But the... Why would..." He trails off then frowns slightly."What?" He has so many questions really. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mark Clearwater. It looked like a replica of the helmet Doctor Fate wears. It.... showed up one day," he admits staring at it seriously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Very well-observed. But it's not a replica, Mr. Clearwater. It's the real thing, and you've been drafted." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm a librarian. We're known for research," he informs her in a dry tone. He.... pales slightly. "Do you know why?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
