Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: The Bat

[3rd POV]

With the three demigods running off to their world, Wanda had returned to her apartment where Raven was practicing the spells she had gifted her. Spells from the Vampire Diaries universe she had gotten from the Mikaelsons.

They were simplistic and easy spells, making them perfect for the current Raven, who was trying to focus more on controlling her power than actually using its full extent. And it was for this reason that she asked Wanda to train her, to mentor her.

The mentoring was primarily for controlling her power, but she also wanted to learn under Wanda in terms of magic, as the woman had shown that she had a LOT of knowledge in the area.

"You're doing pretty good, Raven" Wanda mused, as she looked at Raven, as she warped and changed the fire around her, fire formed from a spell that belonged to the TVD world, stronger than normal thanks to the influence of her own power.

"Doesn't feel like it" Raven muttered, disappointed with her progress so far, she had thought she would be able to progress further in her books so far, but had found that the new magic was odd, and controlling it was surprisingly difficult, as it was fundamentally different from the magic of this universe.

"You are. Most others take weeks to months to get to where you have already gotten in only a couple of days. So don't be such a Debbie downer, Raven, you're doing great" Wanda replied with a soft smile on her face, as her new student just looked at her silently, before nodding slowly, deciding to just listen to her new mentor this time.

"Great, now that that is done with, let's have some dinner, shall we?"

The next day, the shop was up and running, and normal customers were filtering in, buying her new product she had gotten thanks to the Doctor, as the man had surprisingly had a few books that humans should be able to comprehend.

She was sitting behind the desk, sipping on her tea as she read the book on Gallifreyan language, and its use in mathematics and science. It was a complex, incredible language, but Wanda was confident in having it understood and comprehended by the end of the day.

She also wished to have at least a half of the other books understood as well, but she wasn't sure if she could, as some of it was completely and utterly foreign to her and this multiverse as a whole, making it a whole lot more complicated to understand.

"We've got a lot more customers than usual at this time" Raven noted, as Wanda smiled.

"I put out a post about the shop having some new books, and was pretty descriptive with what some of the books were about" Wanda replied with a smile, knowing that she had also put a bit of magic around her shop, making it attract more people than usual, as she wanted to get some more normal customers today, rather than a ton of customers from around the multiverse.

"And put magic around the door to attract more people, didn't you?" Raven asked with a deadpan, noticing the look on Wanda's face regarding the influx of customers.

"Perhaps, but I won't confirm or deny it. Now, go and restock the shelves and check in on the customers, see if they want any drinks or anything" Wanda said, as the woman just rolled her eyes slightly before walking off to do as her boss had told her.

Wanda noticed that all of the new customers were younger teens that were mainly focusing on the comics, manga, and in the case of some of the girls, the love novels that were appropriate for their ages. As Wanda had strict rules regarding the age you had to be in order to check out certain more...graphic books. This only really applied to normal kids though, with someone like Dick being a special case.

'Should get some new multiversal customers later today, here's hoping there'll be more people with interesting magic. I've opened a few more universes up to the door, so all it'll take is me allowing them through. TVD and Harry Potter are welcome magic systems, but they are...weak. I'd much rather get something like Black Clover or something along those lines' Wanda thought, knowing that she had quite a few more magic universes that her door was connected to, and once she had the customers done with, she'd open it up.

Glancing around the room, she noticed most of the customers grabbing more than one book, as Raven walked to the back in order to make the drinks that they all ordered, as well as the food that they wanted. The drinks were freshly made, whereas the food was created by a bit of magic courtesy of Wanda, but still tasted delicious and fresh.

Watching Raven deliver the food, she heard the door open, as she turned to them, only to blink in surprise at the man that was standing there alongside Dick. The man was...Bruce Wayne, aka the Batman.

He was quite tall, and had she been a normal person, she would be intimidating, but to her he just looked broody.

"Ah Dick, I was wondering when you would make your way back here. Who's this?" Wanda asked, looking at the man, as he looked her over for a moment, as she simply smiled. The man wouldn't be able to tell who she was, nor was it even possible for him to. Magic was powerful like that.

"This is my guardian, you should know him right? Practically owns the city? Bruce Wayne?" Dick asked, surprised that Wanda "Didn't know" who Bruce Wayne was, when he was talked about more than any other billionaire on the planet besides Lex Luthor.

"I don't follow the news, Dick, nor do I get out often besides for orders. I prefer spending my time reading or watching movies" Wanda replied with a chuckle, as had she not had the knowledge she had, she likely would have been like that.

"Yeah well, that's weird. Anyways, have you got any new science books? He's been asking about them all week" Dick asked, as Wanda simply smiled and pointed to the science bookcase, now housing several books with technology far more advanced than anything else on Earth.

"Thanks, c'mon Bruce, I'm sure you'll find all sorts of holy grails in this section" Dick said as he led the quiet man over to the shelves, with Bruce looking them over, and almost immediately his eyebrows furrowed.

'...These books...these are far more advanced than any bookstore should have. The theory of Quantum Mechanics? The Quintarium Equations? These books, I don't even know half of them...and that...that should not be possible' Bruce asked with wide eyes, as he reached out and grabbed the book on equations, before opening it.

And the second he did, he began to look over the equations, only to find that he didn't understand most of it, it was all beyond even him, one of the most intelligent humans on Earth, amongst the top 3.

Soon Bruce Wayne, the billionaire, the Batman, began to rapidly grab more and more books, interest in his eyes, a borderline hunger for the knowledge within, as he was also questioning who Wanda was, and where she got these books from.

'Looks like I'll need to look into her background' Bruce thought, eyes narrowed as he realized that these books should not be in the hands of a simple bookstore owner, hell, not even the Justice League had something like this in their hands.

'Seems the Batman is already cautious of me' Wanda thought in amusement, glancing at the man who created stacks of books already, over 40 of them all ready to eat, bought, studied, and learned. All books on complex sciences well beyond human understanding, as well as science books that were not as complex, but he had never heard of.

'If this goes how I am expecting. I'll be receiving visits from more and more of the Justice League as they attempt to find out who I am, and how I received the books that I have' Wanda thought, amused at the prospect of a bunch of members of the League visiting her store undercover.

Glancing around the shop as Dick was picking out more comics, and Bruce was continuing to grow his stack larger and larger, Wanda just shook her head, as she leaned back, one thought on her mind.

'...This'll be an amusing next few days~'
