2009 - Metropolis, Kansas - Chloe's Birthday Party
Zatanna Zatara, Mistress of Magic, has granted a wish to Chloe for her birthday. Since she is content with her life and does not envy Lois like in canon, her wish was different. She wished for Oliver Queen to finally settle down with her so he immediately proposed by giving her an expensive diamond ring and asking her to move in.
2009 - Metropolis, Kansas - Queen Industries
Zatanna asked Oliver to steal her father's book from LuthorCorp facilities. Oliver agreed in exchange for making a wish come true (bringing back his parents to life).
After stealing the book and reading the entry on resurrection, Oliver had second thoughts because the requirement was "a life for a life." He tried to burn the book, but the book immediately flew to Zatanna's hands. Zatanna tied up Oliver using a spell in the book.
Kelex reported Oliver's incapacitation, so I freed him from his predicament and tracked down Zatanna to the top of a building. I talked her out of the sacrifice because her father wouldn't want her to die to bring him back to life. And if he found out she did it, he would likely repeat the spell and exchange his life for hers, creating a ridiculous cycle. I did mention that she should consider using someone scheduled for execution on Death Row. If they're going to die anyway, might as well be for a good cause. Plus, they've already been convicted and their appeals have been denied. When scheduled for execution, they've exhausted all options. Would exchanging the death of a nearly dead man to bring a good man to life be a bad thing?
Zatanna backed down from finishing the spell. She thanked me for my help and my suggestions. She gave me her card. I offered her a Justice League watch and told her to use it if she ever needs help, and I invited her to join the Justice League. She said she'd think about it and vanished using her magic.
