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.
