Desaad twiddled his fingers and gazed at the wall. Any moment, he would have his support.
A vortex in the wall busted open and wind swirled around, as three women walked right out of a vortex, a Boom Tube. They entered to face the robed figure.
"So, you're what that harpy sent me?" asked Desaad. "I was expecting an army, not three little girls who got humiliated a few times before."
"Hey, who you calling little, you robed little snake?" growled the largest woman, named Stompa. Dressed in red and yellow, she took a step towards Desaad and cracked her knuckles.
"Yeah, we should cut his tongue out for that one," cackled a green haired woman with claws dressed in a skimpy black outfit. Her name was Mad Harriet.
"Not now, Granny sent us here for a reason," said a dark haired woman dressed in black with white bandages wrapped around her face. Her name was Lashina, the field leader of the Female Furies, Granny Goodness's personal army. "So spill, worm!"
Desaad looked at them with disdain and spoke. "It's better if I show rather then tell."
He flicked up the same security footage that Mirror Master had showed them. The Furies watched eyes narrowed.
"Ah, Supergirl," muttered Lashina as her eyes narrowed with venom. "All grown up."
"Yeah, but who's the other one?" asked Stompa.
"Let's ask him when I rip his handsome little face off," said Harriet as she gave a sadistic little giggle.
"No, if he has any power, then Granny might be interesting in picking his mind," mused Lashina as the other two nodded.
Desaad just folded his hands, a smirk on his face, as he turned to the three Furies.
"I need you to distract them and deal with them, ladies," said Desaad.
'A term I use quite loosely,' he thought to himself.
All of them nodded, as Desaad detailed his plan.
"Should be fun," said Stompa.
"Not as fun as the other blonde we nabbed for Granny," said Harriet as she showed all of her teeth with a sadistic grin.
"Little dotty witch put up a bit more of a fight than we thought she would," concluded Lashina. "Don't know why Granny wanted her, but we should not question her or Great Darkseid."
The Furies excused themselves, as Desaad went to search to see if he could scrap up a few more Intergang members that had not been captured or killed. They may have proved to be rather useful.
"So if you were a large destructive device in the city, where would you hide?" asked Flash.
"Perhaps the least obvious place in the city," said Tonks. "Don't people normally hide things in an abandoned warehouse?"
"Yeah, but there are so many abandoned warehouses in this city, that it isn't even funny," said Kara as she frowned and added. "Besides, don't you think it would be that obvious?"
"Sometimes the obvious becomes less obvious when it is too obvious," countered Tonks.
"Moody has corrupted you," remarked Harry in a casual voice.
"Tell me about it," said the Auror as she looked from side to side. "But we're wasting time."
"They're cloaking it, likely behind lead," suggested Kara. "Harry can transfigure it, but Luthor lined half of the buildings in this city with lead."
"Is he afraid of Superman finding his secret stash or something?" asked the Flash trying to lighten the mood but he got three dangerous looks. "Man, and I thought that guy in Gotham City was creepy."
Kara put a hand up and listened.
"Yeah, I got it. I'm one of the only few left, I'm not dressed in the get up, I'm not stupid."
She pointed with a smile. Flash, Tonks, Harry, and Kara swooped in and surrounded the man in question.
"So, nice night," said the man as he tried to maintain the picture of calmness. Yet his voice had shook.
"Yeah, nice night," continued Tonks in a conversational tone.
"Nice night for a walk,' added Flash.
"Nice night to get some fresh air," continued Harry.
"Nice night to build a really huge and dangerous device," said Kara, as she reached forward and grabbed him. "Loose lips sink ships, you know. They sink them when you're dealing with someone who could hear you."
The man slipped and made a run for it, but Flash darted in front of him.
He turned and Tonks had a wand in his face. He turned the other way and Harry had a wand in his face. The man turned a fourth time and Kara floated off of the ground.
"Ah crap," muttered the man.
"Yes, crap," concluded Flash.
"Forget it, I'm not telling you anything," said the man in a shaky tone. "You can break every bone in my body. You can send me to prison, but I'm not saying anything. My life is worth too much for that."
Kara reached and yanked the criminal's jacket off.
"Nice jacket," remarked Kara in a conversational tone. "Cost you a bit of money, did it?"
She looked over it.
"Would be a shame if something happened to it?" she continued. "Spontaneous combustion could be a bad thing. My eyes tend to get excited when I see such a nice jacket."
Kara's eyes lit up and the man trembled.
"No, that's…that's a family heirloom, you can't do that, you're supposed to be one of the good guys," said the man. "Please…"
"Well you better start spilling fast, pal," said Flash. "You see, I might be a nice guy, but these three are a different story."
"Plus we can do magic," added Harry as an afterthought. "And magic users, we can read minds. Every single thought, every last intimate thought you have ever had, every single taboo thought in your mind that is considered immoral and borderline illegal."
"Plus we can wipe minds and you wouldn't remember a damn thing," said Tonks.
The man screamed in horror. "Alright…alright…you win; I'll talk, please don't burn my jacket or read my mind or erase my memory. I'm begging you, please.
"Since you said please," said Tonks as she looked at him with calm indifference.
"Alright, there's some device, it's going to transport something big…"
"We know that, now where is it?" asked Harry as sparks flew from his wand.
"Yeah, it's in that museum, the one that is going to be a tribute to Superman, downtown in Metropolis, they're building it in the basement."
The four exchanged looks at that bit of information.
"Of course, it would be more of a post humorous tribute really," added the thug.
"What?" asked Kara as her eyes flared up once again. She snatched the thug by the shirt and held him up. Harry put a hand on her shoulder, warningly.
"Oh, Superman, well he's about ready to die, he might already be dead," said the thug with a slight chuckle but his humor faded. "Trapped in the bank vault, doesn't have much time."
"Which bank?" snarled Kara as she tightened her grip.
"Second Metropolis Branch, the one that the president got busted for embezzlement," stammered the thug. "Down the street, to your right, you can't miss it."
The thug had been tossed down onto the pavement where he landed face first with a crack. Harry bound his hands and feet, as Flash zipped him off to the nearest police station.
Without another word, they scrambled off before it was too late.
Superman looked at the cleaning chemicals in his hands, as his vision became rather blurred. He tried to recall everything he learned about Earth chemicals.
'The right chemicals combined with the gas…should create an acid to eat through the bank vault door,' thought Superman as he held his breath and struggled to find the inner strength to accomplish his goal.
He pulled open the top and splashed the cleaning fluid onto the vault door.
In a few seconds, smoke appeared, as the bank vault door had been eaten through by the chemical mixture. With a final stagger, Superman staggered and fell down face first on the floor of the bank vault.
The two front doors burst open as Kara flew into the bank vault and dropped onto her knees. The Kryptonian looked down at her cousin and concern filled her blue eyes as she looked at him.
"Kal, Kal, are you okay?" asked Kara as she nudged him and grew rapidly frantic. "Please speak to me!"
"Kara," grunted Superman as he pulled himself up and cleared his head. "I'm fine, really, I'm fine."
Kara relaxed as Flash, Tonks, and Harry arrived. Then when it was certain that her cousin was okay, she let him have it.
"Kal-El, I swear to Rao, you must be the biggest, most irresponsible idiot in the entire universe who can't even check to see if he's blundering directly into a trap! I sometimes wonder if Jor-El adopted you!"
Superman opened his mouth but Kara hugged her cousin.
"Scare me like that again, and I swear, I'll…tell Ma and Pa," she managed as she pulled off and took a deep breath. She turned and wrapped her arms around Harry, who comforted her.
"Alright there," muttered Harry as he looked at Superman who nodded.
"I'll survive," said Superman.
"You better, I wouldn't know what to wear to your funeral," said Harry with a half smile and half annoyed expression. "Take it from someone who knows, blundering head long into situations rarely ends well."
"Mirror Master did a number on you," said Flash as he sped Superman out and the others followed.
"We found out what Mirror Master and Intergang are up to," added Harry as he looked at Superman.
"Well tell me then," said Superman as he enjoyed the untainted oxygen that filled his lungs.
"Darkseid," said Kara, deciding it was best to just spit it out.
Silence as Superman mentally counted to ten to calm himself.
"Darkseid's supposed to stay away from Earth," said Superman as his fists balled up into anger and he shook.
"We know that," said Kara. "You know how he's found of finding every loophole in the entire book to keep from breaking the treaty with New Genesis."
"What's he up to?" asked Superman.
"Oh, he's just having his flunkies build a giant machine of destruction that's supposed to transport something big," said Flash. "Sounds like an end of the world type thing."
Superman took another breath and his eyes widened. "I have an idea and if my hunch is correct…Metropolis might not live to see another sunrise."
"Meaning?" asked Tonks.
"It's about to become a suburb of Apokolips," said Superman in a completely serious tone.
Flash looked at him and stammered. "But, that's…all of the people who will get killed because of something like that. And…ripping a city out of the ground and transporting it elsewhere. That will do some crazy things to the gravity on Earth, won't it?"
"Yeah, it will," added Kara as her hands trembled slightly. "Thousands will die, not that Darkseid is bothered by something like that."
"Where are they hiding it anyway?" asked Superman.
"At the Superman Museum, in the basement," answered Kara.
"That figures," said Superman in a grim tone.
"I'm really not sure half of what you're saying, I know," said Tonks. "So do you mind filling me in just a bit?"
"Explain on the way," said Harry as he was halfway out the door and everyone followed him but at that moment, the Mirror Master appeared to block their path.
"Again, with you?" asked Flash. "Look, your little mirror tricks worked once before. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me…"
"I wonder how much of a fool you would be after the millionth time, Speedster," taunted Mirror Master, as he flicked the crystal in his hand and countless mirror duplicates appeared on the streets of Metropolis. Those who were on the streets screamed.
Kara and Harry exchanged a look.
"Deal with the duplicates!" yelled Harry, as Kara scooped him up out of reach. "We'll see what we can do about stopping that machine!"
"Sure, leave us the fun job," said Tonks in an exasperated tone of voice as she held her wand and pointed began to fire every hex she could. The mirror duplicates seemed infinite.
"Only at a quarter strength," said Superman as his knees wobbled.
"Well got to make it count then," said Flash before a scarlet blur sped through and smashed into each and every duplicate he could reach.
Inside the half-finished Superman museum, the super powered couple arrived on their mission. Harry blasted the doors open as they began their search.
Kara looked to the side and grew rigid at the sight of Kryptonite in a glass case. She breathed in relief.
'Just a prop,' thought Kara.
"Basement should be around here somewhere," muttered Harry.
"Yeah somewhere, this place is huge through," said Kara she looked at a display that depicted Superman flying through rings and shook her head.
'I can't believe they released a video game with Kal in it,' thought Kara. 'And I really can't believe how bad it was. So many freaking glitches and half the game was flying through those rings. Never could finish the stupid thing. Of course, I smashed the controller out of frustration.'
They passed into the next room and saw a display of some of Superman's greatest enemies. Harry walked passed a sculpture of a pale skinned man with wild black hair and a beard dressed in leather on a motorcycle.
"Ah, there it is, the basement," said Kara but she heard footsteps and giggles near her.
"So, you're looking for the basement? Well we'd be happy to bring you down by the express elevator!"
Kara and Harry turned around to face the Female Furies.
"Long time no see, Supergirl," said Lashina before she turned her attention to Harry and looked him over. "And you brought a little friend to play."
"Going down," grunted Stompa as she stomped her foot which caused the ground to crack. Harry tried to make a run for it.
The floor cracked beneath them. Kara swooped down and caught Harry before he hit bottom.
"So, more problems?" asked Harry in between choking on the dust.
"Yeah," said Kara as she looked up and watched the Female Furies looking at them.
Stompa, Harriet, and Lashina dropped down to the ground and circled them. Harry and Kara stood back to back as the three women circled them like demented vultures.
"So what are we dealing with?" asked Harry.
"Oh just a trio of really powerful and really psychotic bitches," said Kara as she felt her temper rise some more.
"That all?" asked Harry, but then, the Furies had moved in for the kill.
Harry began to fire spells directly at them. One had struck Stompa who shrugged it off.
"Tickled," grunted the large woman before she stomped down on the ground.
The ground shook underneath them and Harry found himself knocked back. Kara turned, but Lashina held her electrified whip and slashed it towards the blonde haired Kryptonian girl.
She winced as the whip had shredded part of her jacket. Kara moved in but Lashina dodged the attack and continued to violently thrash her.
Harry tried to push his way towards his wife, but he got smashed into the wall.
"Pretty green eyes," commented Harriet as she gazed at him and laughed. "Might have to carve them out, they'd look good in a jar on my bedroom dresser."
Harry dodged the crazed Fury's attacks and managed to repel her slightly and dodged a kick from Stompa aimed at his ribs.
Kara caught the whip, as her jacket and parts of her shirt and pants had been shredded. A bloody scratch was on her face, as she pulled Lashina with all of her strength. The Female Fury flipped right onto her back.
"Hang on, Harry, I'm coming!" she cried, but Stompa caught her in mid air.
"Want to dance, girlie?" grunted Stompa, but Kara reached in and dug her fingernails straight into the eyes of Stompa.
The large woman staggered and Kara impacted several punches into the rib cage aira, but one had been grabbed.
Stompa twisted Kara into a massive full nelson type hold. Kara winced as she felt her neck muscles being constrained but her struggles prevented the fingers from getting fully locked together. She swung her legs and ran up the wall. The blonde haired heroine kicked off and flipped onto her feet.
The momentum sent Stompa crashing down to the ground. With fierce determination, Kara blasted right into her and smashed both fists right into the large frame of her enemy.
The battle between Harry and Harriet continued. The crazed woman dove right at Harry but the wizard dodged it.
"Can't keep this up forever," muttered Harriet. "One of these days, I'll hit you."
Harry rolled out and flicked his wand.
"Your little baby magic tricks don't work on us," taunted the crazed woman.
"I know," said Harry as he waved at her, before several pillars collapsed. Pipes and boxes had been sent down onto the top of the head of Harriet. She had been put down but was not out.
Kara staggered a bit but remained on her feet. Her jacket had been shredded off, her pants now were a really short skirt, and her shirt had been held together much less material than before. Her face, arms, and legs had several scratches on them.
"Got to get to the device," said Harry, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lashina get up to her feet.
Harry found himself knocked to the side. The whip slashed against him and tore his shirt completely off.
"So, how's Kal?" asked Lashina in a casual tone as she turned to Kara. "He must miss me on those cold nights, I found him to be very physical. We all got to enjoy his many talents you see…"
The Fury had been cut off with Kara's fist impacting her mouth. The punch loosened several teeth and bloodied Lashina's mouth. Blood was on her knuckles. Kara grabbed her by the hair and flung her with immense strength.
The other two Furies pulled themselves to their feet, as Stompa moved over and punted Harry right in the ribs with a huge kick. He winced from the impact and his wand slid out of reach.
"Man, this one can't take a hit," she commented as she ripped a large heavy piece of metal right out of the ground. "Catch, you little blonde bimbo!"
Stompa hurled the metal and Kara staggered, but another stomp and pieces of debris were pulled down. Harry had been slumped down on the ground.
"Come on, leave the other one, let's bring this one back to Granny Goodness," said Lashina as Harriet and Stompa pulled the battered form of Harry Potter and dragged his limp form back. She held a black box in her hand and pressed a button to generate the Boom Tube.
"Yeah let's go, great Darkseid will be pleased, he's going to get a new toy and Metropolis for breakfast," said Harriet before she paused. "I wonder if it'd go good with toast."
Lashina sighed.
Kara tried to struggle out of the debris. Her breath grew frantic; her heart thumped against her chest, as she struggled to push it off of her but her efforts could not be quick enough.
'No, this can't be happening, this is some bad dream,' she thought as her breath became more ragged. 'No, this isn't a dream, this is a nightmare!'
The Furies were seconds away from departing but Harry's eyes snapped open and with lightning fast reflexes he pulled himself free from their grasp. He yanked the box right out of Lashina's hands and proceeded to start mashing buttons.
"Stop, mashing buttons, you emerald eyed idiot!" yelled Lashina as she backed off uncertain at what might happened.
"Bon voyage," said Harry as he found his wand and jabbed it towards the ground. While the magic had no direct effect on them, the miniature vibrations knocked them off balance and right into the vortex.
'Got to thank Blood for that one,' thought Harry.
The Furies screamed as they tumbled right through the hole. The box slipped through Harry's hand from the gravity pull right into the darkness. Then the vortex sealed shut.
Kara busted free finally and staggered from the battle, hunched over as Harry supported her.
Her outfit had been shredded but as she held herself against Harry. Kara caught her breath.
"Just give me a minute to pull myself together," she managed.
"Sadly, my love, that's about one more minute that we don't have," said Harry, as he looked over and blasted open the next door to find himself inside a large laboratory.
The robed figure known as Desaad stood before him. He appeared unsurprised and casual, as if someone had arrived to deliver him mail.
"You defeated those little trollops of Granny's I see," said Desaad. "It matters little; they served their purpose, a nice distraction."
Harry and Kara stood and moved towards Desaad but he remained calm and collected.
"Please, you could thrash me utterly, but I'd survive," said Desaad. "Countless people in this city wouldn't be so lucky."
Desaad held a boom tube generator in his hand. "Oh and in my haste, it seems I forgot to implement a countdown or a self-destruct feature. My apologies, but I must be going."
Desaad disappeared into a vortex, as they caught sight of the machine.
Nearly on instinct, Kara smashed the thing to pieces but restrained herself.
'Remember the comet, it being brought down onto the city, and you nearly dying,' she thought.
So she turned and tried a different approach, as she tried to hack into the systems to shut it down.
"Could go off at any minute," said Harry.
Kara took a deep breath as she tried every single trick she knew, learned on both Krypton and Earth. "Yeah, yeah, I know, but damn it, this system really has me locked right out. I can't figure out the controls."
Energy filled the air as Harry tried to look at it but he was way out of his league.
Frantic, Kara tried to pull open the side of the computer panels.
"Can't transport anything without power?" asked Kara but she paused. "I can't touch these things directly, Harry, levitate them out."
Harry did as he was asked as the power cells were levitated out. Magic cracked the machine slightly.
"Um, we better go," said Kara as she looked at swirling vortex nervously.
"This soon?" asked Harry.
"Well it's still open," said Kara as she scooped up Harry and leaped into the air. "But it's going to suck the entire museum right into Apokolips."
Without another word, they managed to escape and not a second too soon.
They tumbled right to the ground. Kara landed right on her back and Harry directly landed face first onto her chest.
"Well, at least the landing was nice," said Harry and in spite the situation, she smiled.
"Let's go see how the others are holding up," said Kara and with great reluctance, Harry pulled himself right back up to his feet.
The couple made haste to join Tonks, Flash, and Superman.
Superman blasted through mirror duplicates one at a time, as Flash busted them. Tonks flicked her wand and eight of them vibrated at once. They shattered into glass.
Kara and Harry rejoined the battle at that moment.
"So where were we?" asked Harry.
"Trying to find the real one," said Flash as he ducked and three of them punched each other to bits.
"He's in the van, over by that mailbox," said Kara after a moment as her eyes were squinted and Flash weaved right through the duplicates.
Seconds later, the Mirror Master had been pulled from the van and his arms and legs twitched.
"You might think you got me, but I'll have the last laugh…" he started but Harry summoned both his mirror guy and his crystal duplicator off of him. Two concentrated blasts of heat vision destroyed them both.
"Yeah, we laugh last a lot," said Tonks as she turned to bind him but she tripped in her haste.
"Nice one, Nymphadora," muttered Harry as she glared at him for using the forbidden name.
"Wait, your name is Nymphadora?" asked Flash in confusion. "I thought it was Tonks."
Tonks just gritted her teeth at Harry using the "N-word" and sighed, as Mirror Master tried to make a hasty getaway. Yet, he ran right into Superman who hurled him back. Ropes wrapped around the Mirror Master and Flash grabbed him before he ran him right away.
Harry frowned. He had been half tempted to do something more drastic but Flash had been too quick.
Then again, he was the fastest man alive.
Flash returned to face them all. "Safe and sound, right in prison, where he belongs and this time, I made sure there were no mirrors or holes in the wall."
"Hopefully he stays there this time," said Harry in a cool voice.
"Yeah, I hope so too, maybe one day he can actually make something of himself," said Flash. "He was a brilliant scientist, until he went around the bend."
Superman pulled himself right to his feet. "So, what about the device?"
"Taken care of, we'll send you the play by play later," said Kara as she let out a breath. "It was too close. The museum got sent right into Apoklips."
"Well the tax payers might not be too happy with that one," said Superman.
"Hey, museum is one thing, but at least no one got killed," said Flash. "I call that a good day."
"I call it a lucky one," muttered Harry.
"Are you always such a pessimist?" asked Flash.
"Depends, are you always this much of an immature child?" countered Harry.
Flash stuck out his tongue which caused Harry to roll his eyes. "So…um Nymphadora, are you alright?"
"Fine," said Tonks with a wince. "I'll be fine, once I've gotten something to eat."
Flash zoomed out and returned moments later.
"Chinese good I hope?" asked Flash.
"Better than bread crumbs and dirty water," replied Tonks. "Thanks."
Tonks paused in between bites. "And oh call me Nymphadora one more time…and well just know that I've been taught how to hide a body."
Flash looked at her. He had no idea whether or not she was serious or not. He felt a bit of fear at the look on her face.
"Gotcha," said Flash as Kara and Harry snickered behind their hands at the look on his face, Superman also looked amuse, but Tonks let out a huge round of laughter.
"The look on your face, absolutely priceless," said Tonks in amusement. "Merlin for the fastest man alive, you can be pretty slow."
Harry eyes darted between the two of them curiously. Kara did the same thing as they exchanged a mutual nod.
Kara whispered something in Harry's ear. Harry nodded.
"So Flash," said Harry as he looked at him and waved him over.
"What?" asked Flash.
"Well, I'm not the one you're going to have to deal with," said Harry.
The Scarlet Speedster looked confused. "What are you talking about?"
"Oh, you'll understand, soon enough, once your brain catches up with the rest of you," said Harry. "Anyway, her cousin on the other hand, he's the one you're going to have to deal with."
"Wait who's her cousin?" said Flash.
"Sirius Black," said Harry as Kara was in hysterics off to the side.
"Sirius Black?" asked Flash before it clicked with him where he heard the name.
Kara laughed and even Superman chuckled.
"Have fun," said Harry in a nonchalant voice before he went to rejoin Kara as Flash looked off into the distance.
"Right, I got to return to Central City," said the Flash talking nearly as fast as he ran. "Stay in touch."
Flash zoomed off.
"I might," muttered Tonks as she watched him disappear and the Potters were both in full blown laughter that would put the Joker to shame. "What is so funny?"
Tonks got no answers from them, as they tried to stop their laughing. Harry only did when his rib injuries flared up. Kara joined him.
"What did you two do?" asked Tonks as she tried to intimidate them but that was a failure.
Everyone went their separate ways. Tonks had to return to the Ministry, Superman had an early day as Clark Kent at the Planet, and Harry and Kara had important business to attend to.
Three women were on their knees, right before a grey haired woman with a sadistic and mannish looking face. They trembled as the woman held up a golden rod that sparked red energy. The smell of brimstone filled the air.
"So, you can't do one simple job, for your dear Granny. You disappoint me, my sweet little poppets. After all dear Granny has done for you. After she has taken you in and taught you everything you know. Given you purpose in this harsh world, given you great power, and great influence. You can't even bother to take care of two miserable super powered brats."
Granny Goodness held the rod as she added in a more sadistic tone, "Spare the rod and spoil the child."
The three Female Furies whimpered in absolute terror and then screamed in agony. "Yes, beg for it to stop, plead, tell your dear Granny how much you messed up."
They had their apologies but Granny zapped them right with her rod. Harriet, Lashina, and Stompa all fell to the ground, unconscious.
"It is lucky I don't cut you into meat and feed you to the hounds," she growled and added in a syrupy tone of voice. "But I'll forgive you, eventually."
Granny turned and pushed open two golden doors. Her eyes darted up to face the figure right above high above several stone steps.
"Great Darkseid, Desaad has failed," reported Granny. "It's…best if you can see for yourself."
The events had been replayed of the battle. The ruler of Apokolips watched and his eyes focused on the new player, studying him like a curiosity. Granny waited for him to say anything.
No response came from Darkseid.
"What does it mean?" she prompted.
She looked up at Darkseid who considered her but once again said nothing.
Granny Goodness took this as her cue to depart. She walked in a brisk pace. It was time for her daily chat with the newest guest of her little humble home. Only one person escaped this place previously and it had been a sheer miracle. Not to mention the little brat cost Granny her best Fury.
Granny walked through a dark and dismal prison and turned, before she approached a glass door and faced it. "Good day, child."
"Oh, hello," replied a dreamy voice from the other end.
"You're not being cooperative," said Granny.
There was a pause and the prisoner responded. "Yes, perhaps but the food at this place lacks sufficient nutritional value."
"You know things that you shouldn't, little girl," snarled Granny. "So did your dear Daddy. Namely, what of the three keys?"
"All great truths can be hidden in a children's book," mused the prisoner.
Granny clutched her rod and counted under her breath. "How does he know these things? No one on your little mudball should even have a clue about that particular thing or many other things in that filthy little magazine. Tell me the truth."
"Daddy loved to travel," she replied in an even voice.
"Child, your mind will break eventually," said Granny.
"Oh, breaking my mind won't get you any closer to the truth," she replied. "It will just tug it out of reach."
"Perhaps I should just exterminate you right now," snarled the New God.
"Perhaps you should," agreed the girl. "You won't know any more. And besides, I'm perfectly content if I die a few seconds from now. There will be others waiting for me on the other side."
She gave a pause. "On the other hand, you can live for a million years and still be miserable for a million years. It's sad, really."
Granny Goodness took a deep breath and looked at her.
"Besides, I might not be around here for long," she said. "They'll find a way here."
"Who are they?" demanded Granny.
"They are they," responded the girl, as her tone remained the same. "It might be days, weeks, months, or years, but I have faith. And if that faith is wrong, then it what it is."
"I'm so sick and tired of your goofy little word games, you little blonde haired bint!" snarled Granny as her eyes flared up but she calmed herself and continued in her sweet tone. "One more question, dumpling, do you know who this is?"
The image of the green eyed hero had appeared.
"A boy," responded the girl in a dreamy voice.
"I'll be back tomorrow," said Granny Goodness as she turned and walked off.
"Okay, good night then," said the girl in a casual voice.
In her cell, Luna Lovegood relaxed and hummed the Hogwarts school song under her breath. The fact she seemed to be the sanest person here bothered her just a tiny bit but she took it in stride.
She smiled as she thought of the dream that she had right before she was taken on extended vacation to this dismal place. It depicted a green eyed boy who had been trapped and had resigned himself to his fate. Then he had been saved by a flying girl from the stars. Yet, the boy had saved her just as much.
Luna mused that there were always many choices, many paths, and many decisions. The future had rarely been written in stone. Prophecies and dreams may have held hints of what might be to come, but there were no certainties.
The girl sat with her legs crossed and remained tranquil. She had faith but understood she was merely a speck of dirt on a tapestry of something far greater. What she had no idea.
"Ribs should be fine in a while," said Kara as she looked at Harry, who was now shirtless with his ribs taped up.
"Just a few scratches yourself," said Harry as he checked over her. Her outfit had been damaged in the battle.
"Yeah they'll be gone right before you know it," said Kara. "And the only marks that will be anywhere will be put there by you."
SMUT/LEMON BEGINS
Harry grinned as he wrapped his arms around her. Slowly he kissed her. He trailed his kisses down her face, neck, arms, waist, belly button, and down her legs. He gave her the attention and worship he felt she deserved. She gave little moans as his lips touched every part of her body.
Her eyes traveled down Harry's body, as her hands moved and pulled down his pants.
"Got to make sure, everything is in working order," she breathed, as her hands ran down his side and legs, as she teased him. Her hand reached around and stroked his penis. She dragged her tongue down it and licked it. His cock swelled inside her mouth with desire, but she pulled away
Kara grinned, as she looked at him and wrapped a hand around his balls, to squeeze them."Well I know one thing that is, just in time."
The blonde Kryptonian grabbed her tattered top and stripped it from her. Harry smirked as her red and blue bra barely contained her round breasts. He felt himself grow, as Kara tugged off her shorts.
Harry's eyes widened as her sexy bottom had a skimpy thong on it. She turned around, thin strips of blue fabric barely covered her. Her pubic hair poked out and he could see her lips.
Kara did make a lot of purchases when they were over in London. Kara turned on her knees on the bed, as she stuck her thong covered arse directly in front of Harry's face.
"Come on babe," whispered Kara and Harry grabbed onto her, before he pulled her thong down. Harry bent down and stuck his tongue inside her. The aroma she gave off prompted him to start licking her. The desire he felt off of her inflamed his own passions. "Oh, lick that pussy, lick every little bit out."
Harry increased his efforts. Kara pushed herself onto his tongue and trusted back.
She moaned as Harry vibrated his tongue in her again. That trick never failed to get her motor running, as she grabbed the bed sheets, before she ripped off her bra in the heat of passion and started to play with her breasts.
"Ah, oooh, yeah, fuck yeah, Harry!" yelled Kara as his tongue slid side to side inside her core.
She shuddered as the orgasm racked her entire body. Harry licked her completely out but allowed some of her juices to dribble onto his fingers.
Harry grabbed her around the waist and without preamble slid inside her. Kara gasped at the unexpected but quite welcome intrusion. Harry slid into her and pumped into her, as his balls slapped her lovely arse. Kara grinded him and clenched as he fucked her from behind.
Harry reached over and placed his fingers into her mouth. Kara sucked her own pussy juices off of his fingers. Even when they were clean, she continued to suck on his fingers. She floated a bit off the bed, to allow Harry access to her breasts.
Harry took full advantage of this. He alternated between her right breast and her left breast. He loved the feeling of her powerful tits on his hand.
"Ooh, your tits feel so fucking great, do you like that?" asked Harry as he continued to pump his penis in and out of her. "Do you like me fucking you from behind when I play with your super tits?"
"Yes, Harry, yes," gasped Kara as she tightened and felt her climax near. "Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me, fuck my pussy, oh that's the stuff, your cock inside me!"
Harry obliged her as he sped up. He continued to squeeze her. His hands squeezed her breasts tight, as his cock slammed into her tight hole. Kara continued to enjoy the work he was doing to her, as her eyes glazed over.
Kara found herself brought to orgasm again and again.
"Going to lose it, Kara," whispered Harry.
"Lose it in me!" she yelled, as she tried to get him to explode. "Blow your load, cum in my tight wet Kryptonian pussy!"
"As you wish," grunted Harry, as he gave a few final trusts before he spurted inside her. Kara screamed in unbridled passion, as she floated up into the air with Harry still wrapped around her.
She realized was in flight, with Harry still buried in her. She looked at him with a look of mischief, before she lowered back down and Harry slid himself out of her.
He landed on the bed and Kara wanted him inside her straight away. She bent down and licked the spunk that dripped from her flight off of the bed. On her tongue, she looked at Harry and he grabbed her.
Both rolled off of the bed and landed with a crash on the floor in their crazed passion.
Kara opened her mouth to ask if Harry was okay, but she found Harry's mouth rather occupied as he proceeded to eat her pussy once again.
Harry fed himself off of her and felt himself rather lost in her. Kara breathed in and out, as continued to devour the juices from her sweet center.
Harry felt himself grow hard and Kara trapped him with her legs. She looked up and grinned at him.
"You know you want it," said Kara as she pointed at her inviting opening.
Kara arched her back, as Harry pushed his cock inside her. Her moans encouraged him to speed up his trusts. Harry tugged on her hair and this got her trusting her hips more and more. Her pussy clenched around him.
"Need this," she breathed as Harry just smirked as his hands wrapped around her breasts. He fondled her as they continued to fuck on the motel room floor. "Cum, I need it inside me."
"Not yet," whispered Harry as he sucked on her ear. Kara whined beneath him as she felt herself soaked completely. "Naughty girl, do I have to give you another spanking?"
"No your cock will do just fine," she moaned with a passion as she started to tear up the carpet. "Great Rao, another one, and…"
Once again she came as Harry felt himself being squeezed harder.
"I love to make you wait, Kara," whispered Harry as he slowed himself down. "Do you want my cum?"
"Yes, I want your cum, all of it inside me, it feels so good," she replied as Harry reached around and continued to stroke her tits. Harry felt her hardened nipples and the flesh in the palm of his hand. He could not get enough of them.
Three squeezes and one trust, Harry alternated. Kara closed her legs around his ribs. He continued this game, as he felt himself reach the point of climax.
Three shuddering orgasms from Kara and her sensual moans caused Harry to be unable to hold back a second longer.
"Finally!" screamed Kara in bliss as she felt him come. "Ejaculate your seed into me Harry, my love, my hero, my savior, my husband!"
"Anything for you, my Kryptonian goddess," said Harry as he spurted in her core.
Kara fell back as she was in a daze and Harry pulled her up, in an embrace.
"Done already?" asked Harry as he looked into her eyes.
"Hardly," she whispered, as she pushed him down onto the tops of her breasts. "Suck on my nipples, ooh, your tongue, it feels so good."
Harry grabbed her arse and backed her up against the wall. As she was preoccupied with him sucking on her breasts, he slipped fingers inside her. Kara's eyes widened and Harry went straight for the kill, his tongue down into her core once again.
Her moans intensified, as she inadvertently ripped the curtains down. Harry licked her out and Kara's eyes became glazed over. She bit on her lip and legs wrapped around Harry's head.
Perfect balance had been maintained as Harry licked around her. Kara shoved herself towards him to force his tongue deep as it could be allowed. Harry smelled her lovely natural scent, the aroma filled him and caused his mind to run wild. He continued to worship her pussy as she tugged on his hair.
She messed up his hair, as Harry worked over her pussy. He started muttering Parseltongue in her opening. It was utter nonsense and it soon reduced her into babbling utter nonsense. She moaned as Harry brought her to an orgasm again and again.
Finally Kara broke and Harry slid off. She pushed Harry onto his back and grabbed him.
"Inside me, need you, now!" she yelled as she slipped her cunt down onto his throbbing penis. Harry slid into her and she rode him with absolute carnal need. Her arms flayed and busted the bedside dresser and part of the wall.
She bent down and Harry caught her right breast in his mouth. She moaned and tugged on her hair, as Harry's ministrations inflamed her. She clenched and climaxed once again, as she tugged on her hair.
"Ride me, that's it, ride my penis until you wear me out!" yelled Harry.
"Oh, I'm going to wear you out alright!" screamed Kara as she continued to bounce up and down. Harry felt his penis massaged by her well lubricated walls. He continued to suck on her sweaty tits, as he savored the taste.
Harry moaned into chest and Kara lost it once again. The carpet beneath them would need a good cleaning in the morning.
Kara spoke in several different languages at once. Her mind felt overwhelmed.
Harry had no idea half of what she said, but out of her mouth, anything sounded rather hot.
Kara sped up her bouncing. The super powered light show started up, as she squeezed him. She reached her hand to play with his balls.
"Cum," breathed Kara.
"About there, just give me a push," gasped Harry and Kara continued her bouncing on him.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck me!" yelled Kara as she shuddered with a fantastic orgasm. "That's it Harry, cum for me, cum for your wife. Shoot me with so much of your hot sticky cum that it leaks out of me. I'm a dirty Kryptonian girl, I need all! Fucking cum inside my pussy!
Harry lost it and cum spurted out of his throbbing cock like a hose. Kara continued to squeeze and milk him dry, before she collapsed breasts first on his face.
SMUT/LEMONS END.
Kara slid herself off and rolled, before she collapsed on the floor of the motel room, damaged in the aftermath of their escapades.
They both panted as they regained their bearings.
They looked around to see the damage they done.
They sat on the soaked floor, before they helped each other back to the bed and collapsed right on it, in the afterglow.
"Must have been a couple of hours," whispered Harry, as they held each other.
"Yeah," breathed Kara as she stroked his hair, arms wrapped around him. "Wish I could go one more time, but I'm just…spent."
"Yeah, me too," said Harry with a smile. "Good night, my super goddess."
"Night, my emerald eyed angel, pleasant dreams," said Kara as she gave him one last kiss. "I love you, Harry."
"I love you too, Kara."
They drifted off into sleep in each other's arms.
Lex Luthor sat in his office at Lexcorp as he deleted and erased a message about one of the weapons that was being developed. His photographic memory had committed the details to mind. The manipulation of such DNA had proved to be problematic in the past, so extra steps were being taken to ensure its completion. The weapon would prove to be a useful fail safe but naturally it still had barely left the initial stages.
He looked around at the final specifications of one of his nearly completed pet projects. For months, Luthor had locked himself in his office, surrounded by every bit of Kryptonite he could get his hands on and advanced Nano Technology. In addition to the huge chunk of Kryptonite he carried around with him always. He carried it everywhere with him, even into the shower.
The stuff was only dangerous to those two aliens after all, so Luthor felt at ease.
He mused about his plans and his life. His father, Lionel, had started out as an accountant but had managed to build Luthorcorp from the ground up. Lionel Luthor seemed rather tight lipped about where he came from and refused to tell his son anything about any extended family. Also failed to give him much encouragement at all or anything in the way of kind words, but that was the past.
At the age of eighteen, Lex took over Luthorcorp in a hostile takeover. He took everything including his father's life with a well-placed bullet.
With his dying breath, Lionel told Lex how proud he was of him and how he loved him. Lex found himself unmoved by this declaration, as he changed the name of the company to Lexcorp. Over the past fifteen years, the world had forgotten about Lionel Luthor. He rebuilt Metropolis using his resources and was the most important individual in the city.
That was until he showed up. The beloved Superman who people still seemed intent to justify despite his collaboration with Darkseid and near destruction of Metropolis. The fact Superman's cousin showed up spelled trouble as well. The little girl assaulted him several months back.
Luthor regretted that he did not have a chance to teach her a lesson. With the assistance of General Hardcastle, Lex Luthor had managed to capture the two Kryptonians, to save humanity from their dangerous influence. He would be declared the man who saved humanity from the alien menace.
One little snag presented itself. That nosy bitch Lois Lane had stuck her nose where it did not belong and helped Superman and Supergirl both escape him. Luthor managed to deflect most of the blame onto Hardcastle in a calculated move and the General had been disgraced.
Then there was the third party, this emerald eyed hero who Luthor found himself intrigued by. The latest reports on the news had detailed more of his and Supergirl's little adventures together against Intergang.
He had found amusement in the fact that disgusting museum had been a casualty.
Luthor ignored a pain in his chest.
'Likely indigestion,' he thought. 'I'm going to have to hire better cooking staff.'
A buzz on his intercom had brought his focus right back.
"Lex, there's an important message for you," said Mercy. "A Mr. Radcliffe has sent word that he wishes to meet with you."
Needless to say, this little bit of news got Lex Luthor's attention.
"When does Mr. Radcliffe want a meeting?" asked Luthor.
"On Friday, at nine o clock in the morning," said Mercy.
Luthor paused. He had planned to launch the device on that day to rid himself of those two super powered nuisances. Yet, it would be better to appease Radcliffe and win him over.
"Clear my schedule," concluded Lex Luthor.
