Fog rolled all over Gotham City. Even the inmates of Arkham Asylum felt the power of the fear that gripped the city.
In his cell, the Joker hummed. He had been out for a while, but he decided to return for lack of any inspiration for his muse. The Clown Prince of Crime broke out easily enough, so he broke back in rather easily as well.
Plus, there was free room and board and the food at Arkham was just to die for.
"Ooh boy, there's something in the air tonight," mused the Joker as he rocked back and forth, and gave a slight chuckle.
"Keep it down Clown," growled a voice.
"You remain in contempt Mr. Dent," said another voice from inside the cell.
"Harv, lighten up with the multiple personality act already," said Joker as he looked at the wall. "Man, everyone's a broody little pot of angst tonight. Do I need to put a smile on everyone's face?"
"Mistah J, I don't feel so well," said a voice from the cell across the way.
"Harley, pipe down, I can't hear myself think," muttered Joker but he gave a sadistic laugh as Harley Quinn screamed in horror. "Oh that's much better."
"Curious and curiouser, what could be causing this?" asked a voice. "Through the looking glass…"
"Just jump down a rabbit hole and die, Tetch," said another voice.
There were more screams.
"Seriously, what's causing this?" asked the Joker as he inclined his head past the glass door. "Even Zsasz is wetting his pants down the hall."
Sure enough Victor Zsasz, a hardened serial killer who carved a tally of all of his victims into his own body shivered in his cell. The sadistic man rested in a catatonic state and muttered to himself.
The Joker pounded on the cell. "Anyone home? Don't make you gas you! Does anyone have any answers to what's going on?"
"What is something we must all face, yet something we cannot see?" questioned a voice.
"Not now, Nygma," grumbled the clown.
"The answer is fear," said the Riddler but he too succumbed to the terror.
"Many everyone is really weak minded these days," said the Joker before he turned to the security guards who lay on the floor. "Good thing I'm already well past the point of no return."
At that point, the Joker grew frigid. In his mind, he saw something.
It was his own face, before he took the dip into the chemical bath that turned him into the clown he was today.
The Joker was horrified at himself, completely and utterly sane. He screamed in horror as he was taunted by the images.
"We're almost there, try and hold it together," said Harry, but at that moment, Batman swooped down next to them.
"Speak," said Batman without another word.
"Crane made eight Dementors, but I defeated the first wave…" started Harry but he sighed. "Not without causalities…"
"How many died?" asked Batman.
"They were still breathing," confirmed Batgirl as she shuddered. "But, the lights were on and no one was home."
Harry explained the Dementor's Kiss to Batman, who turned for a moment to hide the emotion before he straightened up.
"I…it's getting bad, my powers are only at about half," said Kara as she dropped on her feet. "And I'm barely doing anything."
The Kryptonian shuddered. She saw echoes of bad things in her head as well.
"The Dementors cause everything to grow cold and dark," muttered Harry as he blocked out the memories of Voldemort killing his parents. They were merely stronger as they got closer "Cold and dark means no sunlight. You can't even see it. The fog's too thick, it must be blocking the sun."
Harry grabbed her hand and cast another Patronus charm, which warmed up the path.
"This is only temporary," said Harry.
"Once we stop Crane, will everything go back to normal?" asked Nightwing.
"It should, but you've got to stop Crane soon," said Blood as he appeared to join them. "The witch and her brat are cloaked."
"If we stop her little plan, we might draw her out," said Batman.
"We are in like minds," said Blood. "Let's just hope that Crane has not made any more of those monsters."
Harry felt a biting chill and he looked up. "Get ready for about twenty of them about now…no thirty."
The chilling wind kicked up throughout Gotham City. Harry took a breath, and tried to block the horrible memories out.
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" shouted Harry and the Patronus Charm managed to press them back.
Batman concentrated and tried to locate the source of the trauma. His memories had assaulted him.
Eight years old, he saw a man walk down the alley towards his parents, a gun out.
Batman slapped himself out of his state, before he fired the weapon towards where he had thought the Dementors might be.
Nightwing was hunched over as he took a deep breath. He had relieved the night his parents were killed by Zucco. Yet the torment was not done. The affects had overwhelmed him and in the shadows, he spotted a very familiar figure.
"Ah, Robin, or is it Nightwing now?" echoed a sadistic and cold voice in his head. "You seem to be having a bad day."
Nightwing tried to shake himself out of the hallucination. The sadistic manipulator known as Slade stared him down and laughed in his head.
"No, you're not real," muttered Nightwing.
"Yes, we might have been down this road once before," commented Slade in his calm tone. "But you have more guilt to carry. Where are your friends, you know the Titans?"
There was a pause.
"Oh that's right, you failed as leader and few of them will speak to you again, well among those who are able to still speak," continued the criminal his tone never changed. "That's why you had to grovel back to Batman to be his errand boy, my old apprentice."
Nightwing struggled as an enemy he had hoped was a distant memory taunted him.
Batgirl remained to the side just as well. The images of her own death continued to flash in the back of her head. The nightmare was replayed as the Scarecrow's sadistic laughter echoed.
Robin relieved horrific images when his father had been killed by Two Face. Then images of a friend he made, named Annie who was an extension of Clayface that had grown sentience. He watched as the girl was drawn back into Clayface, an act of cruel and sadistic murder.
"Harry, again, please," managed Kara, as she shook her head. "Guys…fight it, none of this is real."
"She's right, Crane's used his fear gas combined with the statue's powers," managed Batman, as his strong will power just barely managed to push back the affects.
'Even I can't keep up the struggle for that long.'
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" shouted Harry again as his stag barreled down the street. "This wave's much stronger than the last one, they're reverting back more slowly."
"We may need some help," muttered Blood as he watched the Dementors. "Gone, gone the form of man."
There was a second pause. "Arise the demon, ETRIGAN!"
Jason Blood vanished as the Demon known as Etrigan had appeared. Dressed in red with yellow skin, Etrigan turned.
"Back off," growled Etrigan before he breathed fire at the Dementors which caused them to back off. "Now, Potter."
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" shouted Harry. The group of Dementors had been chased down the street, as the area warmed around them.
Harry watched as Kara nearly slump and fall over.
"Kara, honey, here, have this," said Harry as he handed her chocolate.
"Thanks," muttered Kara as she took a deep breath as she shook her head. "I'm really not much use. I mean, magic does a number on us to begin with but these things, just awful and my memories…I'm remembering everything that happened, the bad stuff."
"It's okay," whispered Harry as everyone else got some more chocolate. "Just try and hold it together. I passed out the first time. You're doing well. Even the strongest of us, they do a number."
Harry did not have the heart to tell Kara that those were not proper Dementors yet.
Etrigan on the other hand appeared to have no such tact.
"You better pull yourself together, Kryptonian," growled Etrigan. "Those Dementors, they weren't fully formed. What are you going to do when you encounter the real things?"
"Yeah, nice sympathy from you, demon," said Batgirl in a short voice but this was ignored by the creature.
"I don't know why you thought it was a good idea to bring her along, Potter," said Etrigan. "Those foul horrors affect her badly. In fact, most of this group will be dead weight before too long except for myself, you, and maybe Batman."
"Hey, we're doing well, none of us have blacked out," argued Robin.
Etrigan snarled at them. "You're doing well because Potter's charm has been able to shield you. He managed to shove chocolate down your throats as well every five minutes. Even that won't be able to help you for too long. It's getting stronger."
"Yeah well you really need to work on your people skills," said Nightwing.
"I'm not a babysitter," countered the demon. "And Potter's catering to his wife's every whim, and she's useless when her powers are gone."
Kara's eyes snapped up with a faint glow in them and Harry turned towards the demon.
"ENOUGH!" shouted Harry. "Focus on the real threat, the Dementors. You know those soul sucking horrors that are going to drain this city dry if we don't stop The Scarecrow and le Faye, let's not forget them."
He turned to the Dark Knight "We're almost to the Gotham City Fairgrounds, aren't we?"
"Yes," confirmed Batman.
"Do you need chocolate?" asked Harry.
"I'm fine," said Batman.
"Here take it," said Harry as he held out the chocolate.
"I said I'm fine," argued Batman in a stoic tone.
"You need it," argued Harry in a firm voice.
"I am fine," countered Batman and at this moment, a look of annoyance crossed Harry's face.
Batgirl looked at Harry and then to Batman. She had a serious look on her face. "You better take that chocolate before he pries open your mouth and forces it down your throat. "
At her mentor's stubborn look, she added. "And I'd help him do it."
Without another argument, Batman took the chocolate and ate it.
It did make him feel a bit more clear headed, not that he'd admit that.
Harry moved over and looked at Kara.
"Kara," whispered Harry in Kryptonian to his wife.
Kara looked at him as she responded in the same language. "Yes."
"You know what we have to do," said Harry.
"I know," replied Kara. "And I know you wouldn't do it without a good reason."
'Yeah, this isn't going to get us many friends,' thought Kara.
"Stay strong, we're almost there," whispered Harry. "Keep up, we got to end this."
"What are you talking about?" asked Batgirl but she had a strange hunch that she was not going to get a straight answer.
"Worry about Crane," said Kara.
Batgirl just turned as she fought through the haze.
'All of those people,they're just empty,' thought Batgirl. 'I can't...Crane's a monster. And those two know it, and…'
Her thoughts faded.
"We need back up, if there's any back up left," breathed Commissioner Gordon as he slumped against the squad car, his eyes glazed open. "This is how I'm going to die, I can't even see what's killing me. "
The Commissioner paused as he took a ragged breath. "What I wouldn't give for a nice bullet to the head."
He could almost feel several cold hands coming down at him but a large white shape shot out of nowhere, before made him drop down.
"Alright there?" asked a voice as Gordon cleared his head and he saw a black haired man look at him. "A friend of yours said you might need a hand or wand so he sent me along."
"Yeah, I'll be fine, if nearly four decades on the police force didn't kill me already," said Gordon as he pulled himself to his feet. "Do I know you?"
"Name's Sirius Black, International Magic Man of Mystery, my card," said Sirius before he reached into his robe. "Oh well, I seemed to have left them in my other robe."
"Well at least we have someone else who can help deal with these things," said Gordon as he took a bite of chocolate. "James Gordon, Commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department. My doctor's going to love me after this mission."
"I'd imagine," said Sirius as he shuffled from foot to foot and the haze left Gordon, as he studied Black intensely.
"You're not the same Sirius Black that was convicted for mass murderer years ago over in the United Kingdom, are you?" asked Gordon in a collected voice. "Because you resemble him."
Sirius responded. "No, I'm his twin. We were named the same you see. Our mother had issues. Sirius was the bad twin, I was the good twin."
Gordon looked dubious, but decided that now was not the time to argue.
"Well whatever your story is, your help couldn't come at a better time," muttered Gordon. "You wouldn't know someone named Potter, would you?"
"Oh Harry Potter, he's my godson, but that's beside the point," said Sirius as he felt the chill regtnr. "Not nearly as bad as Azkaban, but…we got to keep moving. Where's Harry?"
Gordon filled in Sirius on the story. Sirius reached over and picked up a box of donuts left on the car, before he began to eat them.
"Mmm, fascinating," managed Sirius in between bites of the donuts. "Yeah, let's see what we can do. Dementors are a nasty business, although these don't seem to be as bad, yet."
The more James Gordon knew, the less he liked. He almost felt safe and secure in the insanity that was Gotham City compared to where these people came from.
The bodies were on the streets were disturbing, several paramedics moved around but many looked like they were in need of some medical attention.
"Don't be alarmed!" shouted Sirius as he sent his Patronus into the street once again. "So where did you say this Scarecrow was…"
"Gotham City Fair Grounds, it's three blocks from here," said Gordon.
"I'll send another one down the street, before I leave, I'm going to see if my godson needs any help," said Sirius.
"Yes," said Gordon in agreement.
"This place reeks of dark energy," growled Etrigan. "Your hunch was sound, Crane has the totem here. Now let's rip it from his foul hands."
"Keep it together," muttered Batman. "We're almost there…"
Harry stepped forward into the mist. He felt the chill of the Dementors. Kara walked next to him, arm draped over his back and shivered as he helped her move.
"Everyone alright," said Harry.
"They're not alright," said Etrigan. "You better end this soon or this entire city will be buried. More people will be turned in those foul things."
"Just give me a minute to open the door," said Batman.
Harry stepped around him and held out his wand, before the door clicked open. "Trust me, we don't have a minute."
"I know you're here," whispered a sadistic voice. "Poor deluded children, thinking you could stop me."
"Crane, Morgaine le Faye is using you as a puppet!" yelled Batman.
It was so silent. "She's the one who is my puppet, Batman. I knew of her intentions, but her power will be mine and I will engulf the entire world. All will experience horrors on a grand scale."
"He's mixing the fear toxin with the Phobos Totem," muttered Batgirl as she felt flushed. "I…"
Batgirl staggered against the wall, along with Robin and Nightwing.
"I have an antidote for Crane's latest strain…" started Batman.
'Not sure how much good it will do us,' thought Batman.'This is what I feared. One day, one of these people would go too far.'
"Forget them, just bust down the doors," said the demon as he held a hand up and knocked the doors down with fury.
Everyone stopped and looked at site above them. The Scarecrow floated in the air above them.
A black cloak was wrapped around his form and mist swirled around him. He had grown three times his normal size and the totem cradled in his hands.
Scarecrow said not one word, but he waved his hand, as the air was devoid of any sound whatsoever.
Everyone remained cold and rigid, as Batgirl, Robin, and Nightwing collapsed to the ground. With all her determination, Kara managed to fight it but she was overwhelmed by the influx of horrible memories, as sweat poured down her face.
Harry saw several Dementors glide right toward him, directed by the Scarecrow.
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" shouted Harry but his hand was numb and he could barely hold his wand. "EXPECTO PATRONUM…"
Etrigan growled and fought the Dementors. The creatures had swarmed him, but were thrown right off, as the Patronus spell ran them off.
Scarecrow rose in the air. He could feel the fear. He could taste their worst memories and the power was amplified.
A Batarang spiraled at Scarecrow, but the explosion barely caused the Master of Fear to flinch, as Batman crawled towards him.
"Your toys might have worked on me previously," rattled the Scarecrow, his cold breath in Batman's face. "This statue has evolved me to an entirely new level. I'm no longer a master of fear, but a God of Fear."
With one last ditch effort, Batman threw himself but he collapsed before he reached Crane.
"Potter, hold it together, we're the only two left!" growled Etrigan as he punched out several Dementors.
Harry stood there, transfixed, as he imagined a world where the Dementors had overrun it. Every last man, woman, and child lost their souls to these monsters. His best was not enough and all he knew was lost.
He gave his head a shake.
'Not real,' thought Harry. 'Face them Harry, you've beat them before.'
Harry forced himself to move forward and face the Scarecrow.
"Child, your fears do amuse me," laughed Scarecrow. "And soon they will become all too real. And…"
Harry blocked out his next words.
With every single happy memory he could muster, thrown together at once, Harry raised his wand.
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!"
Scarecrow stopped and was overwhelmed, weakened.
Everyone around began to feel the warmth and the created creatures disappeared.
Kara stirred herself awake and basked in the light. It was no yellow sun but it pulled her out of her hazed and weakened state. The warmth she felt had brought her around.
The others started to stir around her.
Yet, Scarecrow still had the Phobos Totem in his hands and held it close, as he backed up the stairs.
"Mine, the power is mine," ranted Professor Jonathan Crane.
Harry cleared several steps at once in an attempt to get to Crane. He saw his wife watch him out of the corner of his eye, mouth a gap for reasons he had no clear idea as to why.
The Scarecrow laughed. Just before a blast of orange light struck the statue that was held in the Scarecrow's hand.
A loud crack echoed and the Phobos Totem broke.
Then Scarecrow's mind broke as all of the horrors he caused reflected back into his own mind.
Crane staggered, as his heart stopped and he fell down with a huge thud.
Batman pulled himself up and he locked eyes with Harry. Harry pulled himself down.
"I don't hear a heartbeat," said Kara as she held out her ear to use her super hearing to listen for a heartbeat. "He's dead, Harry saved us."
Batman confirmed this. Then he pulled away looked off into the shadows, an unreadable expression on his face.
"Yes, I saved us," added Harry.
"You…killed him," said Batman in a low voice.
Harry just remained immobile. His voice was matter of fact, even if he regretted the necessity of what he had to do "I had to."
'Crane brought this upon himself,' thought Harry.
Harry felt drained but then again, he performed one of the most powerful bits of magic. At least he remained on his feet.
"Crane did this to himself," said Batgirl as she looked Batman directly in the eye.
"How many?" asked Kara as she looked at Batman, her arms folded. "How many did you let die tonight, because you couldn't pull the trigger on him yourself?"
She grabbed Harry's hand but was far from finished. "And you're going to demonize my husband because he took a step that you were too much of a coward to take. Harry didn't do this out of some heartless gesture. He did it to save everyone."
Batman ignored her.
"Potter took the only proper step," added Etrigan. "The kindest thing for Crane as well, because that kind of dark magic taints all but the most noble of souls."
There was still no response for Batman.
Nightwing stepped over Crane's body and walked over to Batman.
"Bruce, it's…I know what you think," said Nightwing in a low voice. "Harry had no choice."
"There's always a choice," responded Batman in a rough voice.
Nightwing sighed. "You know, it's not the fact that he broke the rule that's bugging you. It's the fact he was completely justified in doing so."
"Tell Gordon that Crane died of a heart attack," said Batman after a moment's pause.
"Well, it's not exactly a lie," said Robin as he moved over, as chocolate was passed around.
Batman turned and remained in the shadows. He made a vow to bring people to justice, not be an executioner.
Every single year it got much harder. Yet, he had to prove to the world that his way worked.
The question he asked himself many times so far.
Did he do it because he felt like there was a chance for them to get better? Or did he do so because he thought that he would become as bad as the people who he brought in?
Harry and Kara walked over, as she felt the warm yellow sunlight return to her.
"The witch knows what happened," growled Etrigan. "She came out of hiding, be on your guard. She's not going to let this one go down easily."
Inside the Gotham City Clocktower, Mordred looked out into the city from his position and turned to his mother, an expression of agitation appearing on his face. "Another failed plan, Mother?"
"Hardly," muttered the sorceress as she looked out into Gotham City. "I had suspected that there is a chance that the statue would overwhelm Crane before he could complete our mission."
The young prince turned and scowled. Once again he had been denied his kingdom.
"All is not lost, Mordred," said le Faye as she held her hands. "Once I activated the statue, I took a fraction of its power. The power will be sufficient to finish Crane's work…."
The woman paused as her amulet gave her a warning.
"The demon, he draws near," muttered le Faye as she watched. "I must move quickly."
Le Faye set up the enchantment, but Mordred spotted something in the air.
The young would be ruler looked, eyes narrowed. There were two figures.
One was a dark haired teenager with green eyes dressed in a combination of black, gold, and red, with a shirt and pants. He spotted a wand on the person.
The other was flying girl with long blond hair and blue eyes. She wore a red shirt that exposed her midriff area and a blue jacket, along with workout pants the mixture of the two colors. She carried the boy in the air.
"So, this is who is sent to stop my kingdom?" asked Mordred. "Some foolish wand user and a flying girl?"
Morgaine held her hand out as the wall burst opened, as Etrigan, Kara, and Harry arrived to met them.
"I'll get the witch, you handle her brat," growled Etrigan, as he moved to engage Morgaine.
The sorceress opened her hand and several shadow creatures materialized.
"These things cannot stop me forever," growled the demon as he fought them.
"Merely a diversion," she retorted.
Kara and Harry turned to face Mordred.
Mordred looked them over with disdain. "You two are out of your league. What do you think you can do to me?"
Harry was instantly reminded of a younger and somehow more pompous version of Draco Malfoy.
He had no idea such a thing was possible.
"We're going to put your smug little butt right in a corner where it belongs," retorted Kara as she stared down the little brat with determination.
"You'd do well to show your future king some respect, peasants," replied Mordred as the couple moved in but the child had a few tricks up his sleeve.
A blast of magical energy knocked both Harry and Kara off balance and nearly out of the open window.
"Okay, let's try that one again," said Harry trying for an attack, but he had to dodge, as Mordred now had a large sword and he swung it at them.
"You should have stayed down when you had the chance!" taunted Mordred as he moved to attack both of them with the sword. "You will all bow down before your new King…."
"Oh, I'll crown you alright, your majesty," hissed Kara, as her eyes glowed and a heat blast nailed the sword.
The hopeful king screamed like a little girl out in absolute pain and dropped the super-heated metal.
"You can't do this to…" started Mordred but he was interrupted when Kara flicked him into the wall with one finger as Harry used a trip jinx on him.
The combination attack had taken Mordred out.
"She's starting the spell all over again," whispered Harry as he looked down at Mordred who was dazed. "We've got to stop her."
"Can you?" asked Kara.
"No," replied Harry as he still felt drained from fighting the Scarecrow. He inclined his head to the downed Mordred. "There's another way."
Morgaine le Faye watched as her spell nearly concluded. "So once again, you have been humiliated and now you will be my son's first royal execution."
"I wouldn't be so sure, witch," growled Etrigan as he fought off the shadow creatures.
"Yes, because I'm still here," said a voice and Morgaine turned around.
"The famous Harry Potter, if I'm not mistaken," said the sorceress in a dry and indifferent voice.
"Yes, you have heard of me" replied Harry as he held his wand, ready to defend himself. "So, Morgaine le Faye, funnily enough you don't look anything like your Chocolate Frog Card."
"That was one of my many imposters throughout the years," said le Faye but she remained cool. "So you think you can stop me when that fool of a demon could not. You cannot hope to match my power."
"Oh, we agree on that," replied Harry. "You're going to stop that spell you know."
Morgaine looked at Harry. "And what makes you certain I'll just cave into your demands?"
The Boy-Who-Lived just smirked and pointed skywards.
"No," gasped Morgaine. "Mordred!"
Kara was several hundred feet up in the air and she had Mordred suspended by his cape.
"Put my son down immediately," demanded Morgaine.
"That would be a nasty fall," remarked Harry and Morgaine held her hand up. "You know as well as I do if you blast my wife, then your son goes down with her."
There was a moment of silence.
"You could finish the spell to create a kingdom but it won't have a ruler in it."
The sorceress looked at the young wizard with disdain. "You won't kill him, you're bluffing."
Harry just smiled and whispered. "Okay, Kara."
His wife's super hearing picked up that one and she let Mordred's slip slightly out of her grasp.
"Wait!" yelled Morgaine as she looked up as Mordred dangled procaliously over the streets of Gotham City. "Bring him down safely and I'll reverse the spell. I'll stop it completely."
"Stop the spell right now, and you get your son back," replied Harry. "I give you my word you get him back if you give me yours you're stopping the spell."
She looked at Harry and looked at her son. "I'm stopping the spell rnow."
"You're really stopping the spell?" prompted Harry with a look at her.
"Yes," answered le Faye.
Harry looked at her. "Do you swear on your son's life?"
"Yes," said Morgaine le Faye through her gritted teeth as she held her hand up. "I've done so and it can never be started up again, now tell your mate to release my son."
"Told you she'd go for it," muttered Harry as he looked up and Kara flew down, Mordred held underneath her. The child looked rather sick.
"Take him," said Kara as she dropped Mordred down and he landed in a puddle of mud.
Morgaine tended to her son who was filthy with a bloodied nose, as the Demon had fought her shadow creatures.
She sent a bolt of light at the super powered couple, but a shield blocked most of it.
"Okay, that was a cheap shot!" yelled Kara as she flew towards them.
The exit portal had caused Morgaine and Mordred to disappear.
"Missed her again," said Etrigan. "But she's telling the truth, she stopped the spell."
"So, the Dementors are gone for good?" asked Harry.
Etrigan responded with a sadistic round of laughter.
"You could only be so fortunate," replied the demon. "The ones that have been created are still out there doing the bidding of that cheater of fate Voldemort. Yet, no more can be created. And now I take my leave."
Jason Blood reappeared where the demon had once stood.
"There you are Harry!" yelled Sirius as he popped up.
"Oh, hi, Sirius, fancy meeting you here," said Harry with a smile towards his godfather.
"Hi Sirius," said Kara with a smile.
"Hi Kara," said Sirius as he took a look around. "Busy night?"
"You have no idea," replied Harry.
"Well, I seemed to have missed the party, there was a lot of trouble on the streets," replied Sirius. "So…tell me what happened?"
"He can fill you in later," said Blood as he peered off into the distance. "Right now, I believe Batman wants to have a word with the two of you."
"While I thought the situation could have gone better, le Faye and Mordred are both gone and Crane…well we all know what happened," summarized Batman, as the assembled group stood in the Batcave.
"I know you're not happy about this," said Harry. "But I did what I had to do."
"Only you know if you can handle making such a decision," replied the Dark Knight. "You did save lives, but many others were lost tonight because of the Scarecrow."
"We won't have to deal with Crane anymore," said Batgirl who was not about to shed any tears over the man's death.
Blood spoke up. "I found myself most impressed about the way that you handled le Faye. I had feared that you would go in for a fair fight and she would outmatch you. Yet, you both came up with a plan that forced her hand."
"Thanks," replied Harry.
"There may be things that I can teach you yet, Harry," said Blood. "I may be in touch before too long. But I must see if I can track down le Faye."
Blood exited from the Batcave.
"You two can leave, we will resume your training on Saturday," said Batman as he turned to the computer.
The couple left and Sirius followed them down the side tunnel.
"So, Harry, you had no choice but to kill him, then," said Sirius.
"Yes, Sirius," replied Harry.
"Crane caused my friend nightmares for months and months," said Kara. "He's done other things and…you know, I wonder how many people will sleep easy even if he's gone."
"I know, my parents would be disappointed in me, but I'm not them Sirius," said Harry.
"Harry, your parents…well there were times where they had to take a life," said Sirius.
He had inclined his head up to listen at that one.
"Lily and James, they had to take out more than a few Death Eaters and if they were pushed, they could get lethal," continued Sirius. "The one time, Lily saw Death Eaters assaulting a young girl, maybe eight or nine….they didn't live long enough to regret it. And James would have done something if Lily didn't get there first."
"I'd imagine Dumbledore was real thrilled when he found out," mused Harry.
"Well he did give them the, these people deserve redemption lecture," said Sirius.
"How did they take that one?" asked Kara.
"Where do you think Harry gets his anger from?" asked Sirius.
"I'm past that, Sirius," replied Harry.
"Yeah, Harry….we've worked through a lot of those issues," said Kara.
"And as your godfather, I approve," said Sirius. "I'd tell you not to do anything I wouldn't do…"
"Awfully short list isn't it?" asked Harry and Sirius laughed.
"And, you're adults, so you can do anything you want," said Sirius. "But never mind that, I really wanted to ask you about something…Tonks has been missing since she dropped you guys off."
Harry and Kara both stopped at that.
"Do you have any idea where she might have gone?" asked Sirius.
"Maybe, Bellatrix got to her," muttered Harry in a worried tone.
"No, Bella would make it a public spectacle if she killed Tonks," said Sirius as he shuddered. "It's just…there are other people out there…if Andromeda hadn't been blasted off the family tree, I would know for sure."
"Can't you just make a new one or something?" asked Kara.
"Not that simple I'm afraid, it takes months," replied Sirius. "I was hoping you had some kind of idea."
"No, but we'll figure out something," said Harry as he wondered where Tonks could have gone. Then again, she was an Auror, so she might be on an extended case.
He hoped.
Sirius took out the box of donuts and finished them.
"Are those…" started Harry but Kara just looked at Sirius and the donuts, and began to laugh.
"So, long night, Bullock," muttered Gordon.
"Yeah, but all of the men on this squad pulled through," said Bullock as he paced back down the street. "Crane dropped dead of a heart attack, they said."
"Fear induced," agreed Gordon in a somber tone. "All of those people…they're still alive but…"
"Hey, we managed to save a lot of them, Commish," replied the detective as he turned around to the car where he set his box of donuts.
Yet there were no donuts on the car.
"Alright, who's the wise guy who did this?" demanded Bullock in outrage.
The Joker was back to his normal insane self and sat in Arkham Asylum, as he looked out where the guards had returned. The news of their fellow inmate's untimely death had reached them all.
Arkham's number one guest felt he should say something.
"Everyone a moment of silence, for the demise of the Scarecrow," said the Joker as he held up a hand but then shook his head before he spoke again. "Actually I never liked the guy, so that's long enough. Let the bastard rot."
He paused, before he spoke once more. "I call dibs on his stuff."
The sadistic villain's laughter can be heard all throughout Arkham Asylum.
Batman sat at his computer, as he went over the footage he had recorded of the day's battle. Most of it was difficult to piece together. Even his top of the line equipment had faltered slightly in such magic.
"So, are you quite done in there, Master Bruce?" asked Alfred. "The same clip from an hour ago."
"Potter killed Crane," said the Detective as he watched the clip and slowed it down. "He said there was no other way."
Alfred remained in the background. "Was there another way?"
There was a long pause and one reluctant answer given.
"No."
Batman studied the clip one final time. Everything he could have thought of, it would have only stalled the inevitable.
He regretted the necessity that a sixteen year old had to make such a decision. If Harry had not been there and had not been able to make that action, Batman would not have lived to analyze what had occurred.
'Both of them, they are willing to kill if it means saving others. This could really prove to be a headache. Yet, both show regret at the necessity but no sympathy given the party. Could they go down the slippery slope that many have fallen down? Not right now. I will have to monitor them carefully and take steps in the event everything goes wrong.'
He decided not to tell Superman about this. It would only complicate matters.
"I believe dinner would be in order, Alfred," said Batman as he stood up from the chair, as thoughts of what occurred visited him.
A hotel room in one of the better parts of Gotham had Harry sat on the couch in the room, as he rested from the battle. He was mostly better but it had been a long day. Sirius continued to poke around to see if he could find anything about Tonks.
The bathroom door opened and Kara exited from the room, wrapped in nothing, but a towel. The towel was tied at the top of her breasts and reached down to an inch or two below her hips. She turned to the mirror and swayed her hips as she looked at her long hair.
"Yeah, I like it better long," said Kara with a smile.
"It suits you well," said Harry. "And the towel does too."
She glided towards Harry, and their lips met in a kiss. After a long time, they parted. "Well I didn't want to wait too long."
She shifted and sat on Harry's lap, with a comb in her hand, as she tried to get the tangles out of her hair.
"Thanks for charming this not to break," said Kara.
"Anything for you, my love," said Harry with a smile, as she twisted on his lap and the towel seemed to be dangerously close to losing to the forces of gravity.
"Good thing my hair's long, it's a pain to cut," continued Kara. "Rather scientific process and I don't really like having to break mirrors when I botch it. Although I'm rather confused about that entire seven years bad luck thing, you know when you break a mirror."
"Did you really break many mirrors?" asked Harry.
She shrugged. "I just think it's silly, besides I'm with you, so it's all good."
Harry wrapped his arms around her, as she leaned back.
"Not too bad of a place, once you worked your magic," said Kara.
"I tried the best I could," said Harry.
"Well you did better than most would," she responded. "Good my hair's fixed, in time for us to mess it up again….if you're up to it."
"Did you have to ask?" asked Harry.
Kara gazed fondly into his eyes and then they traveled a bit lower to see what had been pitched. "I'd figured you'd be stimulated. Let's make some new happy memories."
Smut/Lemon Begins.
Kara slipped her hand down Harry's pants as her towel dropped to the ground. Her hand worked down into his pants and started to play with his balls. She fondled them as Harry reached around and massaged the top of her breasts. This spurred Kara to reach up as she stroked him some more.
She pulled his pants and boxers off quickly. His penis sprang out to almost smack her in the face. Her tongue licked it like a lollipop and then placed her mouth around his cock.
Harry leaned back and grabbed her head, to push her down, to stroke her hair. Kara bobbed down on his length she took him deep into her throat.
"Kara," hissed Harry in Parseltongue, feeling her throat muscles massage his throbbing cock.
Kara locked onto his eyes with a lustful look as her throat worked over him. Her eyes locked onto his added to the fun. Both hands from the blonde were placed on his balls. They groped and fondled them. She continued to suck him as she maintained eye contact. Harry played with her breasts and this caused her to speed up.
Her legs dangled into the air and her lips wrapped around his shaft. She continued to stimulate Harry. This lasted for several minutes, as she sucked, her head bobbing up and down with his penis deep in the blonde girl's throat.
"Going to blow my load," whispered Harry.
Kara used her throat control to continue to squeeze Harry and this caused the wizard to lose it. His organ shuddered inside her throat cavity and sent spurt after spurt of semen down her throat.
She swallowed it and looked up, allowing some to dribble out of her mouth. She then licked her lips clean and pulled herself up.
"Ready to taste my pussy again Harry?" teased Kara as she floated in the air, legs and elbows bent. Harry responded by placing his fingers in and he began to lick her swollen lips. "Yeah, that's the stuff."
Harry built it up as his licks got a bit faster. Then he slowed down. He reached around and cupped her breasts while she was in midair.
His licks sped up as he ate her out. Her breath became more labored as she rested her ankles atop his shoulders. His tongue swirled around on the inside of her; as he savored every little bit of her and the scent of her caused him to be inspired.
Harry vibrated his tongue into her moist center at a quicker speed.
"Rao almighty, keep doing that!" shouted Kara as Harry speed up and she soaked him completely. She nearly lost her ability to fly because of that, but Harry managed to catch her.
Harry proceeded to kiss her legs, as he cradled Kara in his arms. He grew a few inches since the marriage and the blonde fit in his arms. She was still taller not that Harry minded.
Just more skin to stroke and kiss as he peppered her with kisses all the way down her and pushed his tongue right into her belly button. Kara rocked back and forth, as she breathed heavily.
"Harry, fuck me, I need you inside me," whispered Kara, as Harry lowered her to the ground.
"Good thing that I need to be inside of you," said Harry, as he felt himself throb with desire. Kara laid on the ground, her legs in the air, spread. Harry remained on the couch and pushed right down into her
"Oooh, my man knows how to please me," breathed Kara as Harry proceeded to increase his tempo slightly. She squeezed him as he thrust into her. His balls filled up but he continued to work her over.
"Well, my woman does know just as well," said Harry, as Kara worked him over. His penis twitched in the inside of her walls. Harry reached down on the outside of her vagina and slowly rubbed her. His fingers became damp from the moisture. Then he brought the juices up and inserted them into his own mouth.
"Harry, I fucking you feeding off me like that!" cried Kara as she felt herself tighten around him. Harry did so again as he savored them as the affect was mutual.
"Your tight Kryptonian Pussy around me feels so great," whispered Harry as she continued to clench him, as she rose up and down, as he trusted deep as he could allow. "Dream me was right, super powered Kryptonian pussy is the best."
"Isn't it the only one you had?" panted Kara as she clenched as tight as she could allow. Her heat vision flared up but she just let it go this time, given this time Harry prepared the room with some anti-flame charms. The heat blast harmlessly hit the wall.
"The only type that could ever please me," whispered Harry as he managed to drive her to the breaking point once again. "See the monster you created, my love."
Her heat vision hit the ceiling as he continued to pump his cock deep into her.
"Yes, I love it, fuck me harder, I want to see if you can hurt me with that thing," whispered Kara. "All of that power, that Patronus, that made me so fucking horny."
Harry brought her to the brink and she shuddered with the super powered orgasm.
"About ready for me?" asked Harry as he slowed down a little bit.
"Shoot your cum into my wet Kryptonian pussy!" screamed Kara as she clenched and Harry sped up, before rubbed himself right to completion.
Harry felt the sweet pleasure of ejaculating right inside her.
After Harry removed himself, he slid straight down to the floor, his face laid on her chest.
Kara reached around, as Harry's chin rested on her cleavage. With a smirk, she pushed his head down right onto her chest. She turned Harry over onto his back on the floor.
She backed off on her hands and knees. Hair draped over her forehead, Kara crawled right towards Harry. The wizard lay back as she crawled towards him. Her tongue stuck out and she touched him.
Her tongue stuck out and touched his penis a few more times. Harry felt himself twitch back to life. Kara sat herself atop Harry's pelvis and leaned down. She latched her lips onto his, as she grinded her wet pussy right onto his penis.
He swelled right up to his full size, as Kara pushed herself right up. She hovered over Harry.
"Hungry?" asked Kara, as she scooped some of her juices out of her moist center.
Harry took the treat and Kara fed him her own cum. Her pussy lips scrapped against the tip of his penis in midair.
Then at the next moment, she held his cock and spread her legs, before she pushed down onto him. Her pussy enveloped around his cock, creating an absolutely heavenly feeling for Harry.
Harry found himself and he trusted his hips up, as Kara rode him and chanted his name. Her breasts bounced with her increased tempo. Harry reached for her tits and grabbed them.
"Touch them, squeeze them, my breasts belong to you, my emerald eyed angel!" squealed Kara as Harry kept up his efforts. "Worship my super tits!"
Harry continued to fondle them. He was gaining more confidence and gained understanding of the best areas to touch, to send the right signals to Kara's pleasure centers. The girl's moans and squeals, as she bounced, and her pussy tightening around his penis indicated he hit the notes.
"Cumming, oh my, sweet love of, just cumming," babbled Kara as her Patronus fueled high from earlier was being burned off.
Her juices soaked him as Harry continued to trust up.
"Keep fueling my Patronus," encouraged Harry.
Kara once again tightened around Harry and Harry gave several trusts. She grabbed his balls and fondled them.
He could not give a warning this time, as he exploded. Kara found herself pleased with the surprise as he ejaculated heavily.
'His magic must be amplifying his sperm count,' thought Kara in a haze.
Kara pulled herself off of Harry as he breathed.
"Got a couple more rounds in you?" asked Kara with a grin, as her lips glistened in their combined juices and eyes widened.
"Yeah," said Harry.
"Tits or feet?" asked Kara.
Harry gave it a moment of thought. "Tits tonight."
Kara just smirked. She floated in mid-air before turned upside down. She reached down and grabbed Harry's penis and gave it some strokes. She smiled as it hardened once again.
Harry saw as Kara looked down right at him, upside down in mid-air. She grabbed his penis and placed it firmly between her wondrous cleavage.
Kara elevated herself up slightly. Then she elevated herself down slightly His penis nestled firmly between her breasts, as she squeezed them together. His penis slid in and out of her cleavage. She gave it little licks as it reappeared.
"Tit fuck me, baby," whispered Harry as he felt his penis being worked over by her lovely mounds. "Oh, bloody hell, super tits, the best, they just feel so good on my cock."
Kara felt some amount of devious satisfaction that she wrecked her husband for any other non Kryptonian women. She felt even more satisfaction as his penis was buried in her breasts.
"Ooh, I like this, your cock, anywhere on my body, it doesn't matter," she breathed as she felt him twitch. She chanted like a sex crazed cheerleader. "Cum, cum, cum!"
She continued to squeeze him.
"Right over my tits, shoot your spunk all over me, I want them covered in a coat of your seed!" encouraged Kara.
"Cumming!" yelled Harry, as he shot upwards into her cleavage. The cum continued to spurt into her cleavage. Kara held her hands so it did not drop onto the floor, before she flipped herself in mid-air and let it splatter onto her stomach.
She scrapped the seed and stuck it in her mouth. Harry rolled over and watched her feed her face.
"Might stick to just this diet," breathed Kara, as she rocked back and forth, her pussy glistening and presented towards him. "One more round."
"One more round," agreed Harry, as he looked at her. Their eyes locked in their passion.
Kara scooped Harry up in her arms and flew him into the next room where a bed awaited. She blew the covers off of the bed and placed Harry down. She sat down right each other.
They both looked at each other and both jumped each other to see who would be on top. Harry managed to retrieve his wand with a calculating grin.
"Hey, tickling charm, that's no fair!" laughed Kara, as she had been rendered helpless.
"All's fair in love and war, Kara," said Harry as he looked at her and sat on her midsection, his growing erection poking against her belly button. He hovered his hands over her breasts. Then he added with a calculating grin. "Would you rather me use the Patronus?"
"I don't want to fly your butt to the hospital for dehydration and a broken pelvis!" cackled Kara tears rolling down her cheeks in laughter, as Harry rubbed her breasts and performed the counter spell, just as he stuck his tongue into her once again.
The vibrations in her core once again caused Kara to be helpless and at the mercy of the Parseltongue abilities of Harry Potter.
Harry felt pleasure in the fact that he reduced the powerful blonde heroine to a babbling incoherent. She reached her climax and Harry sucked all of her delicious fluids down. Kara continued to babble.
"Use words, Kara, I can't understand b…m…f…h…ta…fa," remarked Harry with a grin. "No matter how sexy they sound out of your pretty mouth."
"FUCK ME NOW!" yelled Kara.
"That I understood," muttered Harry, as he spread her lips and he aimed his penis. As simply as taking a breath, Harry slid right into her with ease.
Once again, Harry found himself right inside her. His hands pressed right onto her breasts as he continued to work her over.
Kara pushed herself right up and felt him continue to pump right into her.
"One," said Harry, as he felt her loose it once again. Her walls became slicker, as he continued to pump right into her delicious cunt. She clenched and squeezed him with her powerful pussy muscles.
He brought her to another orgasm. "Two."
Kara panted as Harry leaned forward and flicked his tongue on her nipples. Sweat covered her body and rolled down her, as her moans intensified.
"Three," said Harry as he felt her soaked.
"Fuck, cum, Harry, please," whispered Kara.
'Great, Rao, we're up to Honeymoon night levels,' thought Kara as she felt Harry pound her with determination'You did it Kara.'
"Four," managed Harry, as he staved off his release despite the fact she tried to rub him into submission with her tightness. "Kara, how many times on our honeymoon?"
"S-six," stammered Kara as she panted. "But I need it now, I can't…ooh, that feels so good.
Kara started to float right off of the bed, but Harry held his hands to prevent her from taking flight. She hovered, as the wizard continued to hit every inch of her.
"Five, I believe," said Harry as he felt her orgasm once more.
Kara was both excited and determined to win this little game. Her breasts heaved and swayed, as Harry captured them in his mouth.
"You want to cum, you know you want to," breathed Kara as her body felt absolutely in a state of bliss. She reached up and stroked Harry's back. Harry just responded as he continued to slowly thrust into her.
Kara realized she was making it snow as her ice breath flew out of her mouth.
"Number six," managed Harry, as Kara really seemed determine to beat him.
"Tied, but not beaten, now cum," whispered Kara, as she squeezed her legs. She rubbed her muscles against his penis and felt it touch every bit inside her. "You know you want to cum right in me. My tight Kryptonian pussy, inside, blow it into me! Shoot your load into my powerful cunt! Harry, baby, fuck me, come for me, come for me, cum inside me!"
Harry felt his balls tighten and Kara's felt herself nearly brought to the point once again.
They both climaxed simultaneously. Both collapsed from the exertion. Harry's balls drained completely into her and Kara laid back.
"Seven," murmured Harry.
"No, I beat you," said Kara. "I so made you shoot your load before I hit seven."
"Too close to call," he muttered. "Going to have to try again."
Kara's mouth went into an ear to ear grin. She decided not to let Harry know that they jumped straight into sex without that much foreplay in Vegas.
SMUT/LEMON ENDS.
The Last Daughter of the House of El of Krypton and the Last Son of the House of Potter of Earth embraced each other, as they held their arms around each other. Secure in the love they held for each other and the feeling of belonging them found mutually in their union. They drifted off to sleep.
