Chapter Seventy: Joining.
Bright crystals shot out from every direction in the Fortress. Isobel stood, mouth wide open as a flow of energy surrounded them. She put her hand up against the wall and took a couple of careful breaths when trying to stand up straight. More energy waves flowed from the Fortress around her. Isobel could not believe what she was seeing and it was a very impressive sight to say the very least.
Claire on the other hand, could not properly see everything. She stepped in to get a closer look, never once letting go of the injured girl. A large Fortress appeared around her with crystals as far as the eye could see. The architecture most certainly would not bring excitement. It was bland, and at the same time practical.
"Come forward, my daughter."
The voice coming into the Fortress threw Claire off guard a little bit. Isobel's arm slipped away from Claire as well. It had not been what she expected. Claire had been very surprised Jor-El had vanished from both her head. Did some other programming take over once the Fortress had been erected?
Claire stepped into the picture and locked eyes on the figure who appeared before her. Stunning was a pretty good descriptor of this lovely woman who stood in the Fortress. Tall, blonde, with a perfect figure, she stood to observe Claire with violet eyes. Claire wondered what was going on here.
The only way she would learn is by asking questions
"Who are you?"
The woman broke out into a smile and reached on in to touch Claire on the shoulder. Despite the slight chill of the rest of the Arctic, everything else around her was very warm. Claire experienced a small outburst of hope and hoped this hope would strengthen the further she moved into the Fortress.
"My name is Lara. I am your mother."
Those words sunk in to Claire. She turned to Isobel, who sunk down onto the ice bench in the Fortress, finally unable to stand after the beating she suffered.
"You're confused," Lara said squeezing Claire's shoulder with a warm hand. "Maybe I should explain."
An explanation would have worked pretty nicely because Claire had been confused. The warm hand released from Claire's shoulder and then Lara turned her full attention to Isobel who winced a little bit.
"I think it would be for the best if I help your friend as well."
Both girls had the protest on the tip of their tongue that Isobel and Claire were not exactly friends. A warm light filled the air and caused Isobel's injuries, caused by that crazed deacon, to heal. She suddenly felt more like herself again. Not as injured, even though she was a little bit sore.
"Thanks," Isobel said a moment later with complete honest. "I really appreciate that."
Lara just smiled and raised a hand. "It isn't a problem. I'm sure you suffered to help my daughter."
Well, Isobel did not really want to correct the woman who could heal her and potentially had the ability to hurt her as well. It was true she suffered for the stones, but it was out of petty revenge. Now the stones had been fused together, Isobel felt a little less compelled to revenge.
"I know I should be grateful that he's gone, but there's just a part of me who wonders something," Claire said. "Where is Jor-El?"
A moment passed with Lara breaking out into an agitated expression.
"His part in your training is over," Lara said. "I won't say he did a horrible job, because there were some parts of your training which he excelled on. And then there are other parts of your training which…well we'll just fix what had been broken."
Claire could tell Lara struggled to not commentate on how Jor-El's AI made some unfortunate missteps.
"He thought taking emotion out of the equation would make everything more rational," Lara said. "Unfortunately, you can make some pretty irrational decisions when you don't take into consideration other people's emotions."
"He was…he was something," Claire said.
"Your real father had his times where he lived in his lab, but he did want the best for Krypton," Lara said. "And he was disappointed that there was nothing he could do to save it. He obsessed for weeks to try and find a way to save what could not be saved. It didn't help that his own brother conspired with his former friend."
Lara mostly was talking to herself at this particular moment.
"He then wanted to give you the best tools to survive your journey to Earth," Lara said. "It's unfortunate that what he thought was the best tools simply was a faulty Artificial Intelligence based off a flawed preference. The theory was sound from a scientific perspective though, and he should know. But, you can't apply scientific theories to real emotions."
The Council frowned upon emotion, something Lara feverish disagreed about.
"Never mind," Lara said. "Return to your friends, and rest up. I know you've worked hard to get those stones. Come back when you're ready for your training."
"You mean I can comeback at any time?" Claire asked.
Lara flashed her daughter a smile and put a hand on her shoulder. "You should be relaxed and willing. You are in for a hard journey, and I don't want to force the issue. I do hope you return at your leisure though."
Claire had been more inclined to learn. Her mother would be a far better guide than her father, at least from what Claire's perspective was.
Harry ran the risk of injuring himself with that gambit. Kara and Sara stood on either side of him. Liv walked in the back of the farmhouse. Harry winced as he felt the adrenaline from the battle wear off and very real injuries set in in the aftermath of his dance with the White Bumblebee.
"I'll be fine," Harry said.
"Yeah, we'll be the judge of that," Sara said. "I think a couple of the pieces of the space rock clipped you."
"Well, if it wasn't for Harry's quick thinking, I would go in that grave in Starling for real," Liv said.
Sara would have given Liv a cross look as to tell her not to joke about things like that. It was perhaps a good thing for Liv's safe she had been concerned with Harry. Sara carried the full burden of Harry's weight while Kara knocked on the front door.
Martha Kent answered the door and looked on at Harry in surprise. He looked terrible.
"There's been a meteor shower in Scotland," Kara explained.
Martha knew instantly what Kara meant by meteor shower. Lily called her, saying she was taking a trip to visit an old friend around that area, and Martha hoped that her cousin did not get caught up in the hell that was the meteor shower. Many died.
"Oh, well, come in," Martha said. "You should get some rest….Claire wasn't with you, was she?"
"Claire got out of there long before the meteor shower started," Harry explained.
Martha felt a good amount of relief at the news that her daughter had not been caught up in this mess. It had been a very stressful year for then. Jonathan died, and then Claire's birth father put pressure on her to conclude a task. It was all too much. Martha would have been glad if they had got some peace.
"You look like you got clipped," Martha said.
"I know I did," Harry said.
"Maybe you should see a doctor?" she offered tentatively.
Harry shook his head without any thought. "Doctors aren't going to do me any good, not with my unique genetic makeup. I've already purged most of the radiation from my body….and the venom in my veins burned the rocks to nothing."
Martha Kent had been more than used to her share of the bizarre and the very strange to be perfectly honest. She just let this one go without asking too many questions. Lily had to explain how this was Harry, her deceased son, but from another universe. It was a peculiar statement and one that Martha was not sure if she would believe it.
'IF Lily believes it, I can believe it too,' Martha thought. 'I wonder if Lily is….well he might not have known she was in Scotland. It's best not to worry him now.'
"Lily got out of there fine," Harry said. "All of my friends and family that went there did."
Martha relaxed a little bit with a smile. At least something had gone about as planned. She came to Harry with a full smile on her face before leaning closer towards him.
"Is there anything that I can get you?" Martha asked. "I mean, no offense meant, but you still look a bit…."
"Yeah, I've been better," Harry admitted with a smile. "I wouldn't mind a couple of pillows and a glass of water. Other than that, I should be fine."
Martha Kent, ever the gracious host, moved to grab the glass of water and Kara decided to get the pillows. She sat them on the couch, putting one underneath Harry's neck and one underneath his feet.
'Boy, you're a sight for sore eyes,' Kara thought. 'I suppose that I wouldn't be surprised. Only half of an alien planet almost smacked you directly in the face.'
Sara sat on the edge of the chair and guarded the door. Liv sat down next to her as well. The two sat in silence and waited for the next move. A knock on the door brought them out of the conversation.
Martha sprung to the door and answered it. Lily stood on other side. Without another word, Martha wrapped her arms around Lily's waist and pulled her into the room.
"Sorry, if I worried you," Lily said. "There's something I really needed to take care of before it caused a problem."
Lily noticed Harry lying on the couch, surrounded by Kara, Sara, and Olivia. All three of them looked over Harry. Nyssa and Gwen were also coming down the driveway as Lily thought this, just steps behind Lily. Lily took a moment to calm herself.
"Can I speak with Harry for a second?" Lily asked Martha.
"It's fine," Harry said. "Come on in."
Lily stepped inside and Kara quickly moved off to get her something to drink. She took the cup of coffee with a gracious smile. "Thank you."
After the last couple of days she had, Lily really did need something to drink to take the edge off of her nerves. Kara also brought in another chair from the kitchen to hand to Lily and to allow her to sit down. Lily took the gesture with a soft smile on her face.
"The Meteor Shower hit and I trapped Dumbledore at Hogwarts," Harry said. "He's gone. I felt him die as I left."
It had been over, just like that, and there was a huge part of Lily who did not believe it at first. She looked Harry dead in the eye and saw nothing other than conviction. It had been over, the White Bumblebee perished.
"He was reborn before," Harry said. "I think though this time he's done…although he was barely alive when I encountered him."
Much like Darhk had been before him, Dumbledore had been held together by dark magic, by Voodoo which resurrected him for a purpose.
'Blackfire was kept alive just barely too for the same purpose,' Harry thought to himself. 'I don't think this is over. No, I think it's only just beginning.'
Through the mist rose the entity of the demonic preacher. Joseph Blackfire walked as aimlessly as he needed to. Each step showed sophisticated calculation when he moved ever so closer to the edge of the fog. The power erupting in every direction brought a small smile to the face of the devious Deacon when he approached.
He clutched a blood-red stone in the palm of his hand. Power flickered out of it. So much devious energy surrounded the palm of his hand.
"We were so close," Blackfire said. "Oh, yes, my brother, we were so close.'
The dismembered remains of the White Bumblebee laid on the ground. Blackfire picked up his decapitated head. The head crumbled into dust before his hands.
"We barely knew you, but your sacrifice, it will not be in vain," Blackfire said.
The sounds of a helicopter came from the distance. Someone was coming and Blackfire thought it was prudent for himself to make himself scarce. He stepped back an inch or two to observe. Everything was coming home, all of the chickens returned to roost. The agents of ARGUS turned up into the picture to look around. Blackfire observed everything go down with careful precision.
The ARGUS agents moved with thick suits of armor as they entered the area of debris. Several downed bodies laid on the ground. Nymphadora Tonks stepped onto the field first. The Castle of the White Bumblebee stood proud just hours ago, without any chance of being taken down. And now, in a blink of an eye, everything changed. In a blink of an eye, everything was gone.
"Everyone be careful," one of the agents said. "You remember the fallout in Smallville? We have been authorized to use lethal force if necessary."
"And we don't have any idea what the rocks combined with magic would do," Nym said while nervously biting down on her lip.
One of the agents shuddered ever so briefly. The cannon in his hand did not seem very helpful to protect him right now when thinking about the prospect of having to fight magical Kryptonite zombies, or whatever their enemies were. The man in question clutched the cannon to his side very nervously when he looked around.
"Relax," Holly said. "I'm pretty sure they're not going to eat…."
Several bodies laid on the ground which caused Holly's statement to go out. Some of the bodies were in a pretty mangled state. Only a couple of them looked to be intact and most certainly, none of them were alive at all. Holly stepped over to the body and held a radiation scanner over it. The scanner picked up trace amounts of radiation.
"He went through every stage of cancer in about seven seconds," Holly said. "It killed him pretty quickly, but painfully."
"Yikes," one of the ARGUS agents murmured.
No question about it, yikes was a particular good descriptor. They noticed something else in the shadows as well. A large black ship sat in the middle of where the castle of the White Bumblebee was located. They all looked on with a surprised expression dancing in their eyes.
Deacon Blackfire locked eyes on the alien ship with a half surprised look on his face. The presence of this ship was most certainly not human. No emotions could be felt, and for a second, Blackfire had been thrown off.
"What blasmphemy do we have here?" Blackfire asked.
The mist flying through the air gave Blackfire the perfect cover from the ARGUS agents. All of the moved in to seal the area, not that many people came to this particular part of town.
"Make sure no one gets in," one of the senior agents said. "Our radios should be calibrated for the magical interference in the air. Still, stick close together."
The ARGUS agents all responded with nods. They moved in to take a close look at the ship. One of them reached over until Nym grabbed his hand.
"Don't touch it," Nym said to him. "Just…trust me."
Isobel decided to go up to the Potter House to rest. Claire made her way to the Kent Farm to check on anyone. She noticed Nyssa standing outside and talking to Sara about something. The two girls broke conversation with each other. Nyssa turned to the young girl she took underneath her wing with a smile.
"You've made it back okay," Nyssa said.
"Yeah, I had to make sure the stones were safe and joined," Claire said. "How's Harry doing?"
"Well, he's done better," Nyssa said. "He had half of your planet nearly dropped on him."
"If it's any consolation, the White Bumblebee is doing a lot worse," Sara said. "He was crushed flat by the meteor rocks."
Claire could not say she was took broken up about hearing that particular piece of news. The White Bumblebee's death did not sadden her in any way whatsoever. She leaned on in and both of the girls stepped back. Chloe turned up and was talking with Kara and Gwen. Her mother sat at the table with Lily Evans, and the two of them talked about something over a cup of coffee.
"Hey, Ma, I'm back home."
Martha gave a smile to her daughter. She was not the only one, Lily walked up and moved to greet her cousin.
"Claire, you've really gotten tall since the last time I've seen you," Lily said.
"Well, I've had a bit of a growth spurt," Claire said with a smile. Her arms folded underneath her chest which did very little to draw attention away from how much she developed in that area. "It's good to see you too, Lily. It's been way too long…you've been busy, haven't you?"
"I try to keep busy," Lily said. "So, are you ready for college next year?"
Claire nodded and smiled. "Yeah, Metropolis University seems like a pretty good place for me to go. Lois will be there as well once she gets that credit she missed at high school."
"Yeah, hopefully she will be," Chloe said. "The two of us can keep her in line while she's there."
A smile crossed over Claire's face. She turned to Harry on the couch. Harry currently relaxed on the couch and was drinking a towering glass of water. He looked a bit gaunt, but a lot better off than Claire would have thought after getting dumped on by half of Krypton.
"You okay?" Claire asked him. "I don't meant to offend you but…."
"I look like something that has been chewed up and spit out," Harry said. "I'll be fine….the people we were fighting aren't that find."
A small part of Harry felt sorry for them. A larger part of Harry knew they knew what they were getting into when signing up to join forces with the one and only White Bumblebee. He drew a little bit of energy from each of his queens to go.
"At least the fallout hit an area where there aren't going to be that many problems," Gwen said.
Chloe broke out into a grimace. "Yeah, no shit. The last thing we need is Scotland to be overflowing with meteor mutants."
An unfriendly reminder of what Claire had to deal with once a week visited her. It was true though, the constant barrage of meteor mutants day after day, week after week, month after month, well Claire had been fighting them since her Freshman year of high school.
"Really, so you were dealing with meteor mutants often?" Gwen asked.
Claire and Chloe exchanged a sigh before they responded practically in unison. "Yes, about once a week."
"And you're going to combine magic with that," Lily said.
"ARGUS is already on it," Harry said. "Nym…mentioned it earlier."
Harry took in a deep breath. Seventy percent healed from his injuries he was. Seventy percent of Harry Potter was a lot more than one hundred percent of everyone else.
"So, I need to take a bath and soak for a little bit," Harry said. "You don't…."
"Upstairs, third door to your right," Claire said. "I can show you if you want."
"And no, I don't mind," Martha said. "You're always welcomed here. Family always is."
Harry smiled, that word had been very foreign back home where he lived. It was something which he learned to get used to. Claire helped him up alongside with Kara and the two of the made sure Harry made it up the steps. He could walk under his own accord.
'Best to allow them to do their thing and not argue.'
The hospitality of the Kent Farmhouse had been perfect as far as Olivia Queen had been concerned. She still enjoyed taking walk and moving several targets into position in the barn. They had been lined up with a small hole being drilled into the center of the wood logs.
Liv stepped back and looked at the logs, ready to fire at them. She drew back her bow with a very slight smile on her face. The bow snapped back and impacted the first hole.
Moving back another couple of steps presented a challenge. Liv drew back the bow one more time and fired. The arrow stuck into the hole one more time. Liv's wide smile just got even wider. She stepped back a little bit further and moved closer into position.
'Go ahead and make the shot,' Liv thought to herself.
Shot number three happened and Olivia Queen hit three shots for three shots. She felt pretty good for her chances of success. The final log perched on the window leading outside of the barn. Confidence brimmed from head to toe. Liv bit down on her lip and positioned the arrow.
'The trickiest shot of them all. You better make it count, kid. You won't get another one better than this. Just take a deep breath, draw back that bow, and fire.'
The arrow shot out of the window and missed. A hand caught the arrow before it struck anyone or anything outside. Liv looked up.
Harry came from around the barn and handed her the arrow.
"Oh, nice to see you're up and about," Liv said. "I…well I'm happy to see that you're back to your old self again."
"Take the shot now," Harry told her. "Just take a deep breath. You can make the shot."
Olivia knew she could make the shot. The only thing which prevented her from making the shot before was a sudden burst of confidence which slipped deep into the territory of overconfidence. She lined up with the log on the ledge, with the small hole inside. She watched out of the corner of her eye. Liv closed her eyes and made the shot.
"Bingo."
Harry patted her on the shoulder. Liv just almost jumped up at the gesture. A smile crossed over her face. "I knew you could do it. You always make your shot when it counts."
"Well, most of the time," Liv said. "So, are you and Thea going out on another date?"
Liv framed this question in the most casual way possible. Harry noticed something else in her eye. A twinge of jealously regarding her sister. Harry felt almost bad for pushing Liv's buttons like she was.
"Thea's a girl who knows what she wants," Harry said. "I think she's upset I left her hanging last time. She's not going to give me a chance this time."
Harry clicked his tongue and approached Liv with a wider smile across his face. Liv blinked with Harry looking her over. "I really think your sister is going to make her move soon."
"Oh, you think so?" Liv asked. "Well, I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I've realized that thinking too much is my problem."
Liv dove in and kissed Harry soundly on the lips before she had a chance to back down from the ledge. She felt confusion, and also relief at him. Harry grabbed her head.
"You didn't want your sister to beat you to the punch?"
The older sister shook her head. No, her ego could not take losing to anything. Liv pulled off Harry's shirt. The sexy blonde heiress ran her hands down Harry's body and kissed the side of his neck and anything else she could reach. Harry also pulled her hooded top off to reveal her in nothing other than a silky black bra from the waist up.
Harry took a nice look at Liv's body. Her perfect breasts, flat stomach, and wide hips were all on display. Her angelic face broke out into a naughty grin. They kissed each other again, with Liv wrapping her legs around Harry. Harry marched her up the steps to the loft as the two of them kissed each other.
Feeling around on Harry's body caused Liv to feel tingles down her body. Harry inspired a fire inside of her which no other man and few other women had brought to her. Harry decided to relieve her of her pants. Liv dressed in a nice black thong which showed off her toned ass. She had been working out and Harry positioned her on the bed on the loft. The two kissed each other with passion with Liv trying to work her way into Harry's mouth. Harry held the back of her head and kissed her with burning desire.
Harry unclipped her bra and released her perfectly round breasts to the world. No tanlines on her body which made Harry smile. He leaned down and kissed Liv's nipple, taking it into his mouth and giving it a hungry suck. Liv put a hand on the back of Harry's head and squirmed underneath his touch.
"Touch me," Liv told him.
The two kissed each other as Harry felt her breasts up and then moved down to touch her belly. Liv's eyes watered when Harry worked his way down. He rubbed her heated mound and made Liv rise up off of the bed. Harry touched her through her panties.
"You're overdressed," Liv managed.
Harry just smiled and fingered her so hard that Liv thought she was going to lose her mind. Harry's touches brought Liv closer to the edge straight away. Harry had her panties off completely and kissed her before going down on Liv.
Olivia Moira Queen's entire world entered a new level of amazement. She could not believe how good Harry's tongue felt dancing its way down her slick enter. Her hands grabbed the back of the hands of the handsome warrior when ate her out. Liv pushed up and then dropped down onto the bed. She took a deep breath the further Harry ate her out. The licks continued to circle her womanhood.
"Oh, tongue-fuck me," Liv murmured underneath her breath. "Please, tongue fuck me…lick my fucking pussy until I cum all over your face!"
Harry went down on her and made Liv squirm underneath Harry's tongue. He spent the next few minutes really going to town on her wet pussy. Liv's eyes just rocked back the more he ate her out.
The taste of sweet lemons spilled out of the girl's pussy. Harry ran his hands all over her legs and kept touching her. She twisted underneath Harry's touch and it felt so good to have his hands run all over her soft thighs. Her perfect pussy kept gushing underneath Harry when he went down and licked her so hard and fast.
"Harry," Liv murmured with a light breath coming in from underneath her. "Please, keep eating me. Don't stop eating me, please."
Harry had no intention to give up on going down on her. Liv's wet pussy oozed from underneath Harry's tongue. He made her cum constantly, over and over again until she collapsed onto the bed, thighs still spread and ready to receive.
Those pants came off thanks to Liv's quick actions. Liv now moved over and kissed Harry. It turned her on to taste her own juices all over her mouth. The two lovers indulged in each other with Liv grabbing Harry's big cock and stroking it hard.
Liv pulled away from Harry and ground her toned ass onto his big cock. Harry grabbed her ass and pushed Liv closer towards him. Her warm heat caressed Harry's cock the closer she moved towards him. Liv looked over her shoulder with a big grin on her face. Harry grabbed her ass and squeezed it to make Liv gush in pleasure. Harry had her closer and closer.
Her pussy lined up for Harry's cock. It was going to be a very tight squeeze to get it all inside of her. Liv was most certainly up for the challenge. She lined up and pushed down onto him.
"Fuck," Harry said.
That word was something which Liv would take as a compliment. Harry grabbed her breasts when bouncing down. Pleasure fired through Liv when she worked her pussy down onto him. She grew more and more intent to ride his cock for everything it was worth as time went on. Harry grabbed Liv's breasts and squeezed them hard.
"Yes," Liv muttered underneath her breath. "YES!"
The warmth enveloped Harry's cock and surrounded him with more pleasure than he could ever admit to ever feeling in his life. He grabbed Liv's tight ass and guided her down onto him.
Olivia Queen's only regret was she did not take this cock inside of her a long time ago. Her back arched for Harry to kiss her. He caught a couple of sweet spots on the back of her neck to heighten the girl's arousal. Harry's fingers moved all over her body and touched it.
Harry's cock pushed into the tempting heiress. She was far more into girls than she was boys, but Liv always felt a connection to Harry and took him inside of one of her holes.
"You couldn't let your baby sister win at one little thing?" Harry asked. "Lucky for me, isn't it?"
"Yeah," Liv breathed. "Lucky for you! Very lucky for you!"
And for her as well, Liv hoped that Thea would enjoy this monster inside of her. It made Liv feel so alive to be stuck repeatedly by Harry's engorged pole. It slid into her body and almost all the way out of it as well. Her juices coated Harry when dropping down onto the edge of his big, stiff cock.
Liv threw her head back and Harry kissed her. He pulled from Liv and then she backed off. Liv leaned against the rail leading down to the barn and spread her legs while reclining on the bar. She showed a whole lot of trust that Harry would prevent her from falling.
A brief smile of appreciation for Liv's flexibility followed before Harry walked over towards her and shoved his big cock into her tight canal. Liv's warm walls tightened around him the second Harry drove inside of her. His big balls rested against her groin before Harry pulled out of her.
Liv hung onto the rail with Harry hanging onto her. Harry fucked her in this loft and it made her feel really dirty and naughty. And also as horny as hell, as her pussy tightened around Harry's engorged member the further and deeper he pushed inside of her.
"Fuck me hard!" Liv said. "HARDER!"
She came by Harry's touch. Liv flew over the edge with Harry driving his cock deep inside of her hard and then pulling out. He let her juices just taper off a second later.
Harry then pushed back inside of her and once again worked Liv up to an orgasm, appreciating the feel of her legs around his waist as she squeezed his waist almost as tight as her pussy squeezed his cock.
"You've never had anything this big inside you, have you?"
Liv shook her head, no she had not had anything this big inside of her. His big cock pushed inside of her deep and harder. Liv grabbed onto the back of Harry's head and groaned the deeper he pushed inside of her. Liv's entire body sized up and she came all over him.
All good things reached their boiling point eventually. Harry spent a few more times exploring this body. He would get to know it intimately even more. The look on Liv's face showed that this was not a one-time thing, based off of a sisterly rivalry.
"Oh, why do you have to be so good?" Liv asked.
Harry just smiled and pushed inside of her body again. The self-assured girl was lead to one of her best orgasms yet. She wrapped her legs around Harry and squeezed his hard pull. His balls slapped against Liv's entrance the deeper Harry planted his cock inside of her.
"Fuck me hard," Liv breathed while dragging a nail down his arm.
Harry fucked her all the way to the end. He pushed himself inside and she never started cumming. Liv only came harder and caressed Harry's invading organ. He pushed inside and pulled completely out. The tip of his cock rested on her slit before driving deep inside of her.
He finally let go after she did one more time. Harry's balls sized up and fired inside of her body.
Liv closed her eyes and felt so good to feel the rush of cum inside of her. She murmured some lovely sounds the harder Harry drove inside of her. His balls discharged into Olivia repeatedly and filled her up with so much seed that it was almost obscene.
After pulling out, Harry pulled her in an embrace, kissed her, and moved Liv into the bed on the loft. He climbed into bed next to Liv as she positioned herself against his shoulder.
"I hope you're here when I wake up," Liv said.
She nuzzled against Harry's shoulder, smiling in content.
Chapter Seventy-One: Fractured.
Business had been taken care of and now Harry Potter appeared outside of a magnificent crystal Fortress in the Arctic. He needed to see what he could do to check on Claire and see how she was going on. She returned to the Fortress after a brief break.
'You would think that after all we've been through, you would relax for a little bit,' Nyssa commented. 'But I suppose that you would not be the person you were if you just sat back and relaxed.'
'No,' Harry thought. 'As long as the medallion is still out there, I can't relax.'
Harry figured despite the White Bumblebee being done and HIVE being crippled, getting the medallion would be his top priority. It was a loose end. Harry detested loose ends being left tangled up. The sorcerer stepped through the doorway and approached Claire who turned around with a smile on her face.
"Harry!"
A bolt came over and almost tackled Harry. She wrapped her arms around him with a hug. Harry returned fire with a hug of her own and then pulled away from her after a couple of seconds.
"So, how are you doing?"
Claire just grinned and moved him over. "I really wish I could offer you something to drink. But the Fortress just isn't set up to deal with something like that."
"I'm just going to have to live with it," Harry said.
Claire and Harry parked their way onto the bench of the Fortress. A flicker of light appeared. Harry came face to face with a very stunning looking woman. She dressed in elegant white robes. Red "S" shields fashioned into the side of her sleeves. Harry just smiled when coming face to face with the lovely woman.
"You must be Harry."
"Yes, I am," Harry said.
"My name is Lara, I am Claire's mother."
She extended a hand and Harry smiled in surprise when feeling how solid her hologram was. The two parted their ways from each other with Lara deciding to clear her throat.
"Claire mentioned you would be here," Lara said.
"I figured that I would owe him help after he helped me uncover the stones," Claire said. "I'm not sure that I would have done it without him."
Harry scooted a bit closer to Claire and put a hand gently upon her shoulder. Claire sat up about as straight as humanly possible with Harry's soft eyes matching hers. It was very hard for her to look away at this point in time.
"You would have. You have the strength. Strength which you don't realize. You would have been fine."
Claire shook her head in negative. There would come a time where she would have to have an argument about this. For now, they would just have to agree to disagree as it regarded to her capabilities.
"I'm here to have a conversation about the holder of the Phoenix Force medallion."
Lara just smiled and her image faded. The image of an attractive red-haired girl appeared. Harry could only see her face and part of a collar with what might have had the starts of a Phoenix symbol. Her vibrant green eyes flashed in front of Harry.
"The Phoenix Medallion was sent to the outer reaches of space after the fall of the Dragon. Lore has stated that the holder is cast out into space so she can guard her most precious treasure, although that has not been completely confirmed as of right now."
Said holder of the Dragon Medallion listened. A glowing Phoenix statue flickered into light. Harry viewed it.
"It has been said that there was a statue crafted by disciples of the Phoenix and then split in two before sent off on two different worlds. This statue is the key to locating the Phoenix medallion."
Harry just frowned when taking a good long look. He had no idea what the next play could be.
'So, we have to hunt down two parts of a statue on two different worlds?' Gwen asked. 'That's just great.'
'And then, we have to go out into space to find this statue as well,' Kara thought to them. 'Because of course we do.'
'Well, what did you two expect?' Sara asked. 'All of the reports say that the Phoenix Medallion is the hardest to fine. And you know that due to the great Cosmic power it wields, it's not going to give up its location very easily.'
'Yes, I'm very much aware of that,' Gwen offered with a very tense comment. She took in a deep breath. 'I just hoped it might have been a little bit easier to locate than it is.'
'Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of ease,' Mera thought. 'Regardless, we're all going to rise to the challenge.'
Claire flickered from the statue to her mother and then to Harry. One particular statement came into her mind instantly.
"Nothing ever is easy for you, is it?"
Harry just grinned. Claire pretty much hit it right on the nose. Nothing ever was easy for him.
'Just another adventure in the life of Harry Potter.'
Liv walked out in behind the Queen Family vacation home in Smallville. She had a bit of a spring in her step. Liv only barely recognized someone approaching behind her. The footsteps grew more prominent and she turned to see Sara stand at the gates. She dressed in a white tank top, a jean jacket, and a pair of tight black pants which Liv could just barely keep her eyes off of the second that Sara approached the area.
"Hey," Sara said. "You're in a good mood."
"Well, good sex often does put you in a good mood."
Liv picked up a huge wooden staff and held it into her hand. She chuckled at the ironic of firmly gripping a staff in her hand after having a conversation about sex.
"Especially when it's Harry, and you finally stopped being stubborn."
Sara crossed the way and Liv handed her a staff. Sara slipped off her jacket. Liv moved over to the corner and both girls locked eyes with each other. They gave each other a respectful nod before they moved. The sounds of their staffs cracking together resounded for miles around.
"I don't really know what you were talking about. I was just waiting for my moment."
"Yeah, of course you were," Sara said.
Both girls tried to maneuver to the point where they could get the better of each other. Sara noticed the marked improvement in Liv's attacks. She supposed it was not fair considering how much experience Sara had in the field of battle as it compared to Liv.
The wooden staff attack had been dodged and Sara came back around. Liv evaded two attacks. Both stepped back against each other. They moved in for round two and once again, Liv held her own to match Sara's swings. Neither fighter connected with the other. Sara attempted to psyche Liv out of the attack. Liv jumped back a couple of feet and Sara dodged the attack.
Another figure stepped into the distance and watched them with a small smile upon her face. Liv charged Sara. Sara took her down onto the ground with a legsweep. Sara pressed herself against Liv on the ground and then pulled back to let her up.
"Me being on top? Not surprising, is it?"
"Very funny, Sara."
Sara thought it was kind of amusing. She allowed Liv to stand on her own two feet and catch her breath. Both girls surrounded each other. Sara snapped off a kick to Liv. Liv avoided the kick. The two reclaimed their staffs and clacked them together.
Liv refused to let anyone get the better of her. The competitive spirit in her burned bright. The two girls fought each other toe to toe with neither one backing down from the other. Sara pushed herself just a little bit further and in the end, Liv had been backed off.
"Okay, I think it's time to take a breath."
They move over to join Laurel who had already passed out drinks to the both of them. They took the refreshing water when sitting down on the ground. Laurel spent a long moment with a grin on her face. Liv just raised an eyebrow on the look at Laurel's face.
"Welcome to the club! You know, it about time you joined. Guess you were stubborn."
Liv experienced the strangest sense of Deja-Vu from this statement from Laurel. Laurel just smiled and patted her friend on the shoulder.
"It's just like I told Sara," Liv commented. "I wasn't necessarily being stubborn. I was just waiting for my moment. It's really nothing more and nothing less."
Laurel just commented with a raised eyebrow and a half of a smile. Regardless of the situation and the circumstances, she was very much glad to have Liv aboard on the team. It was a long time coming.
"You sure it just wasn't because your little sister was being proactive about hooking up with Harry?"
"No, it's not because of that."
Liv spent the next couple of seconds deep in a frown when considering her little sister's sex life and that was not something any sister liked to discuss.
"And speaking of Thea, she's doing good," Laurel said. "I took her out on patrol. She did fine. Didn't make too many mistakes out there."
Liv's expression perked up and she flashed a smile at her. "Great, I'm very glad…and speaking of patrol, I've got a lead on that smuggling operation. I really think they're bringing drugs into the city."
"Why don't we go and check it out tonight?" Laurel asked.
"Good to see you two on the same page," Sara said. "I was worried for a minute…and I've got an important meeting with the Council. So, I'll catch you two later."
Sara said goodbye with a long and lingering hug to both of them. She flashed off in a hurry to leave Laurel and Liv to prepare to take it to the streets of Starling City.
Kara parked herself up on a chair outside of the meeting place they had set up. Mera approached them as well. The holder of the Merfolk Medallion drummed her fingers impatiently when she flashed a smile in all of her regal glory. Gwen would have walked the ceiling had Nyssa not put a tight grip on her shoulder.
"The sooner we get ahold of this medallion, the better it is," Gwen said. "I just have a feeling."
Nyssa weighed the pauses and the negatives.
"The White Bumblebee has been defeated. I would have thought it to be too easy, but according to Harry he's dead. He was a shell of his former self and it was lucky."
"Lucky that a bunch of meteor rocks from my dead planet just landed in the middle of Scotland?" Kara asked.
"Well, to be fair that wasn't that lucky," Gwen said.
"Well, it trapped the White Bumblebee and lead to his demise," Nyssa responded. "And HIVE is all but crippled. We have control of their major operations."
Sara flashed to join them. She took a seat on the right side of Nyssa and across from Kara. Gwen sat to Nyssa's right, and Mera sat on Kara's right. The head of the table had been open and to Kara's left there was one more seat which should have contained the holder of the Phoenix Force medallion.
'She's out there,' Sara thought. 'She's out there. We know she's out there.'
The presence of a long dead Deacon who had lingered between both worlds and had been trapped reared his ugly head. And speaking of heads, Harry Potter dropped down from the head of the table. He held a crystal in his hand.
"Lara copied all of the information the Fortress had on a crystal," Harry said.
"Should we be fortunate we had to deal with Lara's AI and not Jor-El's?" Kara asked.
"Well, I don't think Harry could have been able to charm Jor-El's if push came to shove," Gwen commented.
"Given that Jor-El had no emotions, there was no charming," Harry said. "By his logic, he would not help me because it would intervene with his daughter's destiny. Despite the fact that what I'm about to do has everything to do with Clara's destiny."
Harry laid the crystal flat on the table and pressed in on it. The image of the Phoenix appeared in front of them. They could see and appreciate her beauty even flashing in the middle of a grainy image.
"She does look like she could be your distant relative," Sara said. "Of course, it could just be a coincidence."
"Well, you go back far enough with many people; you can find a common ancestor," Nyssa said. "But, that's beside the point."
"I agree. The point is this."
The Phoenix Force statue appeared in front of them. Chills came down the spines of them.
"I've heard of a legend about that statue," Mera said. "It's to hold great power. You find the statue and you are able to tap into a force far greater than anyone could imagine."
"Yes," Harry agreed. "You hold the statue. And you have the Phoenix Force."
All of them looked at the statue. They knew from listening in on Harry how the statue was split into two parts and scattered across the furthest reaches of the multi-verse. It would take some time for them to have the pieces.
"We know they are out there," Gwen said. "What we don't know is where the two pieces are?"
"I don't think it would be common knowledge," Sara said.
Kara nodded intensely. She looked over to the empty chair right next to her. Personally, she had been determined to fill it by any means necessary. She had been lit on fire by this burning obsession.
"I agree. If it was, then there would be someone to have it. And we would know if someone has both halves of the statue and united it."
"What if someone has one half?" Mera asked. "The temptation of power would be very hard for anyone to part with."
"Yes," Harry agreed. "We're just going to have to convince them."
The multiverse could be a very treacherous tapestry to navigate around. Harry knew that about as well as anyone else. They would piece together all of the information they know.
"I want to go to the Fortress," Kara said. "See if there's anything else Lara might have overlooked."
The crystal held what information they held on the Phoenix Force. Kara spent the next couple of mintues trying to rack her mind for a way to locate an Earth which would be important to them.
"Claire would appreciate seeing you," Harry said. "Why don't the two of us go?"
"I'm going to meet with Talia," Nyssa informed him. "I'll see if she has anything that might help, and obviously talking to Ruve would not go amiss. If HIVE was researching the Phoenix Medallion, they might have stumbled upon something."
"They could have," Mera said. "And I'll consult the library of Atlantis. It has been way too long since I read up on the legends."
"And I guess I'll search the Internet," Gwen said. "Because, you never really know."
"We shouldn't leave any stone unturned," Sara said.
All of the girls had their plans. Harry and Kara interlocked fingers and flashed away to the Fortress of Solitude to see what they could find out. Time ticked down for them all.
'We're going to find it. No matter what the cost.'
ARGUS walked into the area. Nymphadora Tonks felt a sense that something really bad was about ready to happen the further she stepped into the picture. She tried to keep her head above the water. They had been protected from the radiation leaking out of the ship the closer the two of them approached. Nym chewed down on her lower lip when easing just a little bit closer to the ship.
"Stay close," Holly informed them all. "There's something dangerous."
"Our tracking equipment, it just failed," one of the ARGUS agents responded in a very agitated tone of voice.
Holly could have thrown her head back in frustration. She remained calm and collected as could be the further they stepped into the castle. The front wall smashed completely down.
"We're just going to have to do this the old fashion way," Holly said. "The exits are over there and there. If you feel the need to run, do so?"
Nym could hardly believe what she heard. "And since when did you feel the need to run?"
It hit Nymphadora Tonks instantly when she realized the ramifications of what Holly was saying. Goosebumps rose on her neck and the back of her arms. She took a long second to recover from her frustrations.
'The minute Holly is deciding that something is too dangerous, you better believe it's too dangerous.'
They crossed over where the largest chunks of rocks held. Natasha slipped in past it. She held out a gauntlet and moved it over. The gauntlet's tracking feature did not work. The weapon feature on the gauntlet, it still had been put into place. Natasha encircled her arm around and dropped it down to her side right next to her.
"Keep walking," Natasha murmured underneath her breath. "We're almost there."
They came across the large dark ship which had been surrounded by castle debris. The team moved in. One of them held a large drill in his hand. The drill touched the ship. All the man accomplished when drilling through the front of the ship was a busted drill bit. The figure stepped back and took in a couple of deep breaths. Nothing was the same.
"Listen!"
One of them closest to the ship jumped back. The front of the ship smoked and it was beginning to open up. The ARGUS agents locked their weapons upon the ship. They had no idea how well they could have been used. The only thing they could have figured out was something was coming.
Time stood still before the ship opened completely. Two occupants appeared from the ship. An attractive brunette woman with olive skin dressed in a skin tight black uniform came out of the ship. She stepped out into the picture with the ARGUS agents pointing their weapons firmly.
The woman extended one arm and the rays from the yellow sunlight came around her. She pressed in a shield on her suit which flashed. The rocks around her faded with rapidly negating radiation as she walked a little bit further into the picture.
"Activate your shield."
A large black gentleman appeared out of the ship. He rose up in all of his glory with broad shoulders and a very determined expression etched upon his face. They stepped a little bit closer into the picture and then past the ARGUS agents. The yellow sunlight showered the two figures when moving closer.
"Stand back!"
"What primitive little toys," the black gentleman said. "Yes, I can feel the sunlight coursing through. We are on Earth and we are here."
They used their super breath to take back the small group of government agents who had tried to stop them from going. Nothing would stop these two visitors from their directive. One of the figures reached into the ship to produce a navigation crystal.
"Yes," he stated. "It's very near. Soon, Krypton will rise again."
The two figures absorbed enough yellow sunlight to fly out of this damaged castle. The ship sealed up behind them and just lingered dormant. It would soon be active whenever it needed.
"Ugh," Holly said. "Anyone get the number of the truck that just hit us?"
They had a problem, a big one, as the two visitors now were on Earth, and tearing off at a pretty good clip to their destination.
Claire took a couple of deep breaths. She came close to reaching flight. Something else dragged her back down and made her almost scream out in frustration.
"You just need to relax," Lara said. "Let it come naturally to you. You learned how to crawl with ease. You learned hot to walk with ease. For someone like you, flying should come naturally. You just need to keep doing it until you get comfortable with it."
Claire turned over to Harry and Kara who were going over more data from the Fortress. They worked hard in an attempt to locate something even loosely related to the Phoenix Force. All they did was run around in circles. Claire moved a little bit closer to them and put a hand on their respective shoulders.
"Are you having better luck than I am?" Claire asked.
Kara answered with one of the more evident snorts possible. "Boy, don't I wish. We haven't been able to locate anything of value no matter how hard I've searched. Maybe that's all of the information on the Phoenix Force."
An alarm went off in the Fortress. Lara's face appeared in the midst of the crystals and grew worried.
"There's a problem?" Harry asked.
"It can't be."
Claire raised an eyebrow. "Mother, what is it?"
"The Disciples of Zod, they have arrived on Earth," Lara said. "But, how?"
Harry and Kara locked eyes with each other for a second and then pulled away from each other. Kara seemed to be more put off by this. Claire looked confused and while Lara searched for the intruders, Kara jumped in for an explanation for her cousin.
"The Disciples of Zod are followers of General Zod, one of the greatest generals to ever step foot on the planet Krypton," Kara said. "Unfortunately, tragedy and loss drove Zod mad over time. Krypton's standards for dealing with his kind of mental issues were unfortunately lax."
One could see Kara's evident frustration simmer up to the surface. Harry put a hand on her shoulder and caused her to take a calming breath.
"But, he was sent to the Phantom Zone and most of his followers along with him," Kara said. "If they're here, then they're here for a reason."
Claire drew in a deep breath and walked over for determination. She hovered up above the ground. She moved a bit awkwardly and then dropped down. Claire took a deep breath and then floated to the ground. Harry and Kara went behind her.
"They're heading here from the East."
The trio nodded. If they headed here from the East, then it was where they would be heading next as well. Three blurs shot up in the air and made their way to go after the Disciples of Zod.
Chapter Seventy-Two: Ghosts from the Past.
Three blurs popped out from over the skies of Hogwarts. Harry made sure to shield Claire from the exposure of all of the Kryptonite which fell from the sky. All of it littered the grounds of Hogwarts.
"Keep going," Claire breathed. "This shield works like a charm."
Kara could not help, but grin at her cousin's statement. It was pretty accurate to be perfectly honest. The three flew around and moved deeper into the collapsed castle. The once proud Fortress of the White Bumblebee collapsed on the rocks of the Earth. The three of them moved as far as possible until they dropped down onto the ground.
Harry held up a hand. Something about what was in the air forced goosebumps to rise all over his shoulders. Harry extended his hand out into the distance and waved it over the area. He watched the door open. Two ARGUS agents stumbled out. One of them took about three steps before collapsing down to the ground.
The second ARGUS agent had a little more dignity. He stepped across the way before slumping against the wall and breathing out loud.
"Harry?"
His name brought Harry's attention to Nymphadora Tonks. She walked with a slight limp and clutched the side of her back. Harry grabbed her hand and pulled her over. He sent a quick blast of healing magic towards Nym. Her injuries were not as severe as the two ARGUS agents on the ground.
"What happened?"
"A large ship happened."
Kara raised her eyebrow. Lara was right, there was a ship, and the Disciples of Zod were on it. Nym shuffling around interrupted what Kara was about ready to say and she intended to say a little bit. The Girl of Steel's eyes crossed over to the edge of the room and then back in a blink of an eye.
"I lost Natasha and Holly," Nym said taking her first tentative steps. "And come to think of it, I've lost…."
Two solid booms echoed on the air above them. Claire was the first to look up. She followed the progress of two figures, a man and a woman, as they moved through the air. They had a lot of momentum when going up in the sky. Claire followed their progress when moving.
"They're heading to the North Pole," Claire said. "They can't know that the Fortress is there already?"
Kara's eyebrows went up and she took a few seconds to come up. "Maybe…maybe it sent some kind of beacon there…go get to Lara before they do and see what she says. We'll…we need to take a look at that ship."
Claire nodded. She could handle this on her own to be honest. It was just a couple of rogue Kryptonians, how bad could they be. Claire hit the skies and took a short cut to get around her.
"I wonder if it's the right thing to let her go on her own," Kara said. "It's just…that ship might be a danger."
"If it helps, none of us were able to get that close to it."
Kara seriously looked Nym straight in the eye. "It's a good thing you didn't come close to contacting that ship. It's just bad news all over. Trust me on that."
They moved down the way. Harry did what he could for the downed ARGUS agents before joining Nym and Kara. He knew this castle like the bad of his hand although to be fair it was much harder to get a fix on the castle when it had been totaled.
'This way,' Harry thought to the girls.
No time for argument, but something did cause them to stop and pause. A couple of thumps came from the outside of the wall. The thumps grew even louder. Harry raised his hand and the door flung open.
Holly Granger staggered a little bit to the ground. She wiped a few strands of hair away from her face. Relief spread through her body when coming across the trio of Nym, Kara, and Harry.
"There's something wrong with that ship."
"Get the ARGUS agents away from it," Kara said. "It's making them sick, isn't it?"
Holly responded with a nod. She was not feeling as well as she should be. Natasha stepped down the hallway. She smiled when locking eyes onto the Dragon before adopting a more neutral approach for the rest of the part.
"The gang's all here," Natasha responded. "We should keep moving. We don't know where they went."
"To the North Pole," Harry said. "There's something of interest they want up there."
"Is it something that's going to make Waller flip out when she sees it?" Holly asked.
Harry just smirked. "I wouldn't be surprised if she would take great interest to it. But, she's going to have to be disappointed just like the Disciples of Zod are."
"The Disciples of Zod?" Nym asked before breaking out into laughter. "Okay, I know I should take this more seriously being, you know, the world is about to end and everything. But, that sounds like some kind of weird name for an alternative rock band."
"Maybe," Harry said. "Are there any stranglers?"
"Yes, all over the castle," Nym said. "And I guess while we look for them, you can tell us all about Zod and his Disciples."
Kara figured it would be a long story and they needed to look. She hoped Claire would not need their help any time soon. Harry, noticing her discomfort, put his hand on hers.
'If she's in trouble, we'll know, and we can flash there. I put a charm on her.'
Only slightly, ever so slightly, did Kara Zor-El's mind enter a state of ease. She figured that the ARGUS agents were owed an explanation about everything. Unfortunately, with there being parts that Kara did not know, it was lacking. And while she did not know the ship, it was dangerous.
Nam-Ek had one goal in mind the moment he entered the ship. It was time for them to free the one true Kryptonian from captivity and make sure he reigned supreme on the Earth. Aethyr followed a few inches away from him.
"The longer we stand, the stronger we get," Aethyr said. "We will find her. We will find the Daughter of Jor-El."
"Yes," Nam-Ek said in a deep voice. "We will. He will rise again."
They would need to locate this Fortress and use the portal to make sure their master rose again from the ashes of where he had been sent from. The two of them moved over. Aethyr stopped short and dropped to the ground. Nam-Ek followed her descent.
"Why did you….."
His statement had been cut off by one finger extended out in the general direction of a figure standing outside of the Arctic Wasteland. He had been surrounded by mist and gave the two Disciples of Zod more of a chill than anything they had ever gone up against. They crossed the thresholds of the Arctic and moved just about as close to them.
"Who are you?" Nam-Ek demanded.
"My brother, I am your salvation."
"There is only one person who can bring us salvation," Nam-Ek said. "And that man is General Zod."
The figure off to the side broke out into a thunderous amount of laughter. Nam-Ek reached for him and tried to grab his enemy. Said anyone massed through Nam-Ek's fingers as simply as mist. Nam-Ek pulled his hand back and drew a deep breath. He wondered what was going on in.
"You should open your minds. I am the key to solving it all. And if you help me, I can help you. It's what we call paying it forward here on Earth."
"I wouldn't trust him," Aethyr commented. "He has his own agenda."
"We all have our own agendas!" he howled. "And where are my manners. I have not given you the courtesy of an introduction."
Both Disciples of Zod remained rooted firmly on the ground. They should have moved away and tried to fight this individual before the presented a problem, but they could do not anything. They had been frozen by his magnificent Aura and drew in just as close.
"My name is Deacon Blackfire. And I must beg you to open your minds to the salvation at him. For, it was I who helped ensure your arrival by drawing blood upon the stone. It was I who brought you here so you can embark on this crusade!"
"Well, we will offer our gratitude by allowing you a swift death."
Aethyr tried to grab him. Mist only surrounded her body and Blackfire flickered behind her a few seconds later. The Deacon's sadistic smile broke out even wider.
"Yes, you see this as gratitude? I see it as lies. I see it as sweet little lies. You've deluded yourself my friends with your lies that you tell yourself. You are merely puppets to another master. Zod will betray you. He put you on the ship to wait for the moment."
Blackfire flashed behind them and put a slimy hand on both shoulders.
"Tell me, Brother, Sister, what is on the ship?"
Something about his voice compelled Nam-Ek to speak straight away. He was the more suspectible of the two to suggestion.
"It was the most powerful computer in the universe. It once ran an entire planet until our master modified it to serve its whims. And then it was a huge part of the planet's destruction."
The crazy eyes of the Deacon darted all over the map just long enough to give the two some unfortunate pause. A couple of deep breaths came from them.
"Fascinating. I always considered technology to be little more of a tool of the devil himself, but that's fascinating."
His interest had been piqued. The sin of being reliant on technology was one which grew in time. They became dependent on the technology which visited them. Deacon Blackfire salivated at the very thought of having that much control. He could lead them to the promise land and ensure they had seen the light with the perfect message.
"Look skyward," Blackfire said. "It's not a bird, it's not a plane, it's…."
Nam-Ek helpfully interrupted Blackfire's statement. "It's the Daughter of Jor-El."
Claire arrived at the edge of the Arctic. She was steadyfast and determined to get to the Fortress by any means necessary. Claire cut some good time and pushed herself beyond anything she had ever felt. Her heart started to beat faster when moving through the air.
A blast of energy came up with Nam-Ek rising off of the ground. The large Disciple of Zod flew towards Claire with reckless abandon. Claire dodged Nam-Ek's attack and nailed him with a series of punches to the side of the head. He reared back and caught her arm.
"Impressive," Nam-Ek said. "Perhaps I went about this all wrong."
Claire twisted herself out of the attack and used Nam-Ek's own strength against him to slam him down onto the ground. Claire bounced back up to stand over the fallen adversary.
'Now, where's the second Disciple of Zod.'
Aethyr appeared right on cue and dove at Claire. Claire blocked the punch and fired back with a couple more of her own. The deadlier of the two disciples moved on in.
"You're going to take us to the Fortress."
"And then, you are going to be the vessel for Zod's heir!" Nam-Ek yelled at the top of his lungs.
Claire never felt so repulsed in her life. She grabbed Nam-Ek and flung him to the ground when he tried to throw her down onto the ground. The Woman of Steel rose up in time to engage her second enemy.
White hot waves of light blasted through the air with Claire and Aethyr locking knuckles with each other. Neither woman wished to yield to the other. They crashed down onto one of the ice mountains before Claire took Aethyr down to the ground.
"He'll never rise again!"
Nam-Ek came out from behind Claire. Claire blocked Nam-Ek's punch and then caught him with some more punches of her arms.
Aethyr pulled out a glowing green blade and stabbed it into the side of Claire's arm. Claire tensed up and screamed in agony. Nam-Ek punched her in the stomach to double her over. He grabbed her by the hair and flung Claire down onto the ground as hard as humanly possible.
"You're going to comply. Whether you're willing or not."
Those words burned into the back of Claire's mind. She drew herself back and tried to fight through the agony. Nam-Ek's hand tightened against her neck and pushed her down onto the ground.
"No, I won't."
The defiance had been met by absolute amusement the second Nam-Ek dragged Claire off of the ground. He pitched her down to the ground across the way. He stood over the top of her. He took the knife from Aethyr and charged her.
Another blur shot through the distance and cracked Nam-Ek in the jaw with the full force. Nam-Ek fell to the ground. He looked up in anger to watch as an angry looking woman with golden hair dressed in white robes with the crest of the house of El on it moved towards her. He raised his Kryptonite knife to defend himself in the next round of battle.
A blast of energy caused the knife to turn into stone. Nam-Ek dropped down to the ground with a huge punch to the solarplexes.
Aethyr's eyes widened when she saw the figure coming from the shadows. Her mouth hung open for a very visible few seconds.
"It can't be."
She remembered her mission just in time to stop the second party from restraining her. The two tusseled on the ground. Aethyr and the girl rolled on the ground and picked up momentum like a snowball affect. The two broke apart from each other. No sooner did they break apart, the two blasted directly at each other one more time. Their nails dug together when scrambling for the perfect position to fight.
"The Daughter of Zor-El."
Kara broke free of the attack and nailed her adversary with a couple of punches to the top of the head. It staggered her and dropped her to one knee. Aethyr grabbed her leg and swept it out from underneath Kara. Kara blocked the attack, and grabbed at Aethyr's uniform. She ripped it to shreds. Aethyr fought back from the attack.
Down beside Claire, Harry kneeled and once again took the burden of her poison away from her. Claire's eyes flashed over.
"That's twice I owe you."
Claire rose up to her feet next to Harry. She grabbed his hand and held herself up. She was feeling much better now that the golden solar radiation poured into her body.
Kara took Aethyr down to the ground. Harry raised his hand and blasted her with a beam of red light which engulfed the woman's body. It sapped her powers completely.
Nam-Ek rose to his feet and noticed this was not going his way. One word burned into his psyche.
'Attack.'
A large blade extended into Nam-Ek's beefy hand. He charged his adversary with intent to maim. His eyes flashed over with agony when rush towards him. Harry caught his arm and brought him down to the ground as hard as humanly possible. The sound of cracking bones resounded after Harry brought his enemy down onto the ground.
Another sound cracked Nam-Ek's head back. Harry put his hand through the chest of the Disciple of Zod and brought him down to his knees. Blood oozed from his chest when he dropped to the ground.
Aethyr's eyes widened. The Dragon turned to her and she shivered. The hardened woman felt very vunerable indeed on her knees.
"Please, don't kill me," Aethyr said. "I was only following orders….Nam-Ek was the true believer, I was merely a solider in the army."
She laid on the ground, clothes ripped at Harry's feet. Kara and Claire walked over with a smile on their faces. Harry leaned down and guided Aethyr to her feet. She stood up.
"I'll spare your life, if you swear loyalty to our cause."
"Of course," Aethyr said.
She went over to kiss her new master. Kara stopped her short with a very stern look shimmering in her blue eyes.
"No, not yet. Maybe eventually, but you don't get that right."
Claire wondered if she should even be involved in this little thing. Kara smiled at her cousin.
"I wouldn't want your poor virgin eyes to be burned."
She would have protested she was not exactly a virgin. Claire and Chloe, underneath the allure of Red Kryptonite, got up to some pretty naughty things. And it was hard to be around Lois Lane without getting drawn into some debauchy.
"I leave her in your able hands," Claire said. "Oh, and may I?"
"Of course," Kara said.
Claire stepped over and kissed Harry on the lips in a very thinly veiled token of thanks. She flew back up into the sky and out into the distance.
Kara smiled and she motioned for her pet to move towards her. The body of Nam-Ek laid on the ground. His blood stained the snow and the ice and soon he would be buried underneath it.
"You're going to tell us everything, love," Kara said. "And you're going to be rewarded for it."
"I can't believe it. I thought that signing up for a secret government agency would be more exciting than babysitting some stupid ship."
Six ARGUS Agents stood outside of the courtyard in the castle where the crashed alien vessel stepped. They thought that the alien vessel would have moved by now or do something interesting. Ever since those two invaders showed up, nothing happened. It was a very dull and very practical watch of the ship.
"We don't even know what Waller intends to do with it."
"Heh, good luck at getting any information out of her, kid."
The ARGUS agent rolled his eyes at the dismissive tone given by one of his partners, but he supposed there was a pretty good point there. He moved over towards the ship. Another one pointed a gun at the man's head.
"We're just going to look at it. I swear."
"Waller's orders," the lead agent said. "And you can look at it with touching it. The group that came by earlier got really sick when they started looking at the ship."
"I'm not sure if being in the same room as the stupid thing is a good idea then."
There were shrugs all around. None of them really knew what to do. They could not move the ship, touching it was out of the question. Therefore, they could not open it up and start studying it to see what made the ship tick. The agents circled around like demented buzzards.
The ship blinked to light and started to hum. The ARGUS agents pointed their guns at the ship. It was a reflexive action at this point. They could do nothing to this alien ship. The heat sensors rose and then they vanished in a blink of an eye.
The door opened and Agent Nymphadora Tonks stepped into the room. She looked from the scorch marks on the ground all the way to the shell-shocked agents.
'Bloody hell.'
Aethyr sat in a very lavish bedroom. Candles adorned the room and pumped scents into the air which ensnared her senses just a little bit. The sheets pressed against her body and made her feel really relaxed. The image of beauty which was Kara Zor-El stepped into the room. She wore a sheer see-through nightie which made Aethyr's heart stammer a couple of beats.
Kara walked across the room. Her hips sashshayed a little bit with confidence and a little sass in her walk. She reached over the massage oil table and pulled out a bottle.
"You're going to tell us everything you know."
Oils glistened all over Aethyr's body and shined in the light. Kara smiled when covering her catch with oil. Her silky black hair hung down to her shoulders. Her greenish-blue eyes flashed for a second as if she knew what was going to happen next. Kara made sure to run a finger covered with oil over Aethyr's lips and make her shiver. Her body was perfect and toned for the Kryptonian military. Round breasts stood perkily and Kara squeezed and massaged them to cover them in oil.
She moved down to her pubic region and frowned. Kara's heat vision performed a trail and cut the large bush of hair which grew during Aethyr's time in stasis. She did not care if the woman squirmed. A small strip of hair, shaped like a lightning bolt, covered Aethyr's cunt. Kara smiled and ran her fingertips down her.
"That oil is derived from a snake venom. It will heighten your nerve sensors and the slightest touch….."
Kara lightly squeezed the shoulder of her prey and it caused her entire body to shiver in response. The former Disciple of Zod broke out into a series of shakes.
"You're ours now."
Harry appeared in the shadows. He dressed in a bathrobe which dropped to the ground. Aethyr ate up the eye candy with lust burning through every inch of her body. His sculpted body, tight muscles, they were what dreams were made of. She came to his equipment and gasped very deeply.
She did not have too long to look at her new master for Kara directed Aethyr's attention to her.
"What's on the ship?"
"Brainiac's on the ship," Aethyr said.
Kara frowned. She never really trusted Brainiac, even though the Council did. And he was part of the reason why Krypton had been destroyed.
"He intends to open up the Phantom Zone and bring General Zod to this Earth," she continued. "And he will possess someone….I'm not sure who, and use Clara Jor-El as his bride to repopulate the Kryptonian race. Brainiac has taken means to prepare to subdue her free will if she will not willingly comply."
"No, that won't happen," Kara said. "My cousin is only for one man."
Aethyr's entire body shook. Kara pressing a palm onto her thigh made it feel like torture spread through every single inch of her body. The girl did not lie when she said her nerve endings were slightly more sensitive.
"Yes," Kara murmured. "And you're his as well."
Kara walked over and descended to her knees before Harry. She wanted to get him nice and ready for their new toy and make sure she was properly indoctrinated to their cause.
The lustful look coming from Kara made Harry's cock harden. She clasped the underside of it and stroked it until it was hard enough. She tasted the head and then eased her way down to the base. Kara pulled back out and dove right in taking as much of Harry's cock into her mouth as humanly possible.
The grunt coming from Harry showed Kara how much she enjoyed this cock entering her mouth. Kara pulled almost all the way from her mouth and then shoved his cock all the way down into her mouth. She did this three more times. Every other suck, Kara reached up and stroked Harry's balls.
"Oh, baby, fucking suck that cock."
Kara's eyes and mouth full of cock was an extremely sexy sight which fueled Harry's desires. And what he desired even more was to bury his cock into her throat.
The loud lewd sounds fueled Aethyr's sense of imagination. She could see what Kara was doing and it amazed her. Aethyr could not pleasure herself on her own accord. The small gusts of wind blowing from the slightly opened window made her thighs open and start to ooze juices from them.
Harry grabbed the back of Kara's head and plowed his cock into her warm mouth. He could feel Kara's efforts to have her mouth fill with seed intensify. He was not going to give in, she was going to have to work with it.
Kara worked away at his resistance and made sure that cock entered her mouth as deep and fast as possible. The swelling increased. Kara cupped Harry's bloated balls and had been pleased with how much seed had been in. They would be able to seed all of the females on Krypton if he so wanted it.
She threw her head back and took a huge cock into her mouth. Kara's warm lips wrapped around Harry and release him. She sucked on him until the treat spilled out into Kara's mouth.
Kara received her treat and then a little bit extra. Gracefully, she took his cock into her mouth like some kind of define sex goddess. She was careful not to miss a single drop when draining Harry's balls of their delicious fluids. Her mouth popped off of him only when she was done.
Seconds of tasting Harry's cum passed until the second Kara locked eyes with Aetyhr. She stuck out her tongue and made sure the woman received a good look on the cum on Kara's tongue. She swallowed it and smiled in response.
"See those beautiful lips," Kara said. "They're engineered for sucking the cock of her superior."
Kara grabbed Harry's ass in one hand and squeezed his cock. Harry turned around to Kara and that one look caused her to shudder.
"I'll deal with you later," Harry said.
Aethyr did not even need to be asked to open her mouth. She opened it and was ready to receive her treat. The big cock edged to the opening of her mouth. Aethyr's eyes bulged out the second the cock brushed against her warm lips. Harry ground his cock head against her lips for a second and then grabbed her.
Harry buried his cock into her tight and warm mouth. He drove himself into her and his swelling balls slapped into her. The lewd and loud moans from a woman in desperate need to be fucked and fucked hard made Harry only push himself further.
Every single nerve ending of her body entered a state of extremely hyper-sensitivity. Aethyr understood this more than anyone else. She took the huge cock deep into her throat and then pulled it out. A loud pop echoed from around her mouth when he pulled out. Harry's cock touched her lips and made her jump off.
The two engaged in their pleasure.
"You're such a natural," Harry said. "Why don't you feel up by balls? You want to see how they feel in your hand, don't you?"
Aethyr grabbed Harry's balls and squeezed them hard. The mere touch of those balls in her hand set off a fire. Juices pooled all over the bedsheets where Aethyr kneeled. Harry massaging her scalp while slamming into her mouth did not help do anything other than set her off.
Harry was about ready to lose his second load of the night into the mouth of a beautiful woman. Harry drove his cock deeper into her mouth and let it all good.
The warm blasts of cum filled her. Some of the massage oils rubbed off on Harry and it showed. A greater volume of cum than before splashed into Aethyr's mouth.
"Good girl, not wasting a drop," Harry said. "I would be very disappointed in you if you were anything, but good."
"But, you could punish her for being bad," Kara said.
Harry smiled when pushing his hard cock deep inside of his newest conquest's mouth. His balls finished draining and he pulled away.
"Hands and knees."
Aethyr compiled and the seconds he was, Harry was all over her. Her mind almost shut down from the insane amount of pleasure he gave her by lightly touching her. Harry's fingers brushed over her body.
A second pair of hands joined the first pair. Kara helped out and she added more massage oils to certain parts of Aetyhr's body as well. Aethyr's sweat only increased the intensity she was feeling thanks to the oils. Harry touched her all over and made her nipples stick out.
"It's time."
Aethyr wondered if it would fit. The head touching her lips almost caused her to lose it. Harry's swollen head rubbed against her tender opening and made her open up for business. Harry's fingers caressed her nipples and made her breath out in pleasure.
Then, without any further pause, Harry slid his cock. Her walls clamped onto him hard.
"Someone is eager to be fucked?"
Kara watched as Harry's strong cock worked like a machine. She drooled when watching Aethyr moving in. Kara smeared her body on oils and started to play with herself. She got more heated and more intense with each touch of her body.
Aethyr grabbed onto the bed. Harry was not simply fucking her pussy and driving himself deep where he could seed her womb. Every inch of her body was a vessel for the pleasure. His thick well hung cock made Aethyr feel full.
"A nice little snug pussy, perfect to be fucked," Harry said. "You want this, don't you?"
"No one can make me feel as good!"
It made Harry feel really good when the women admitted it without any coercion on his part. Harry slid his big cock into her tightening core and then pulled almost all the way out of her. His cock slid into her.
Aethyr's entire body entered full scale pleasure the deeper Harry slammed himself into her. Those balls were as heavy as ever despite being sucked off twice. Her sensitive nerves where only enhanced by the lust she felt. Harry drove himself into her hard and made her really work.
"You like it when you get your hair pulled."
She reacted with the most favorable moans the deeper Harry slammed his cock inside of her. His cock pushed deep inside of Aethyr and then pulled completely out of her. He rose up and slammed down into her on a constant basis. Repeated thrusts drove Harry deep inside of her body.
She came harder than ever before. Harry grunted and pumped his cock inside of her. Those slick juices surrounding his cock only made him want to drive into her faster than ever before. Harry touched Aethyr's snug backside and slapped it to cause her to break out into a moan of pleasure.
"Just let go, relax, don't fight your inner nature."
Harry's words made her cum very quick and very hard. He pushed deep inside of her body and then pulled almost all the way out. Then, Harry planted himself into her until his balls sized up and the end was here.
Exactly how many orgasms she had before Harry seeded her had been lost track. Aethyr's muscles tensed up the second Harry drove his cock inside of her. Harry pushed into her hard and then his balls ruptured. The first blast of cum sent Aethyr to the edge. Her pussy gushed and never stopped gushing.
Harry watched as white blasts surrounded his eyes. He picked up the pace and seeded the woman underneath him with everything he had. Harry emptied his balls inside of her. Several more moments passed before Harry completely buried his load inside of the subverted Disciple of Zod.
Just after Harry pulled out Kara dove directly in. She spread the thighs of the dazed woman and sucked as much of the cum away from her thighs. Harry watched Kara's swaying ass as she got to work. Harry's hard cock grew even harder as one of his Alphas got to work.
The woman passed out on the bed. Kara's beautiful body glistened with the massage oils. She turned a little bit to watch her seductive smile come out.
"Just lay back and relax."
Kara hovered a little bit closer to Harry. His hard cock stuck into the air and Kara mounted it. She allowed the familiar tool to enter her pussy. The first few inches slipped into her and Kara worked even more of her. She established the momentum and rode Harry reverse cowgirl style.
The beautiful sight of Kara bouncing up and down on his cock gave Harry a full view of Kara's nice succulent ass. Her perfect ass and legs showcased the reason why a mini-skirt was the perfect outfit for her. Harry reached up and touched her ass.
"Slap it, please!"
Harry teased her ass with a couple of gentle squeezes. He wanted to make sure Kara was driven to the pits of lust before Harry went to town on her ass. He spanked Kara a couple times. His cock drove into Kara and he spanked her again.
She loved it! Kara bucked down wildly on his cock. She sank down onto it. Harry's cock shoved deep inside of her and filled her up some nice. Her man was making her feel really good. Kara had gotten horny after seeing him dominate that other woman on the bed and now it was time to have some fun of her own.
"OOOH!" Kara yelled. "HARRY!"
She screamed at the top of her lungs. Kara's wet walls squeezed around Harry's throbbing hard cock and milked him something fierce. Harry grabbed her ample posterior and squeezed it. She spilled more juices down from the tip of cock all the way to the base.
"Keep it up," Harry groaned.
Twelve inches of swollen cock pushed into her. A need for release visited Harry. He held back despite the need increasing. Harry grabbed every inch of her body and then flicked Kara's clit when he could just barely reach it. He channeled the power through her.
The oils smeared against both of their bodies made this feel very intense. Kara slid her womanhood down onto Harry's big cock and she pumped him deep inside of her body. Her wet thighs collided with his big balls. Harry enjoyed the sensations brought upon by Kara's warm pussy working him over. He grunted and shoved himself as deep inside of her as possible.
Kara came first with the ride skidding to a stop. She saturated Harry's cock with juices. Kara's body warmed up and she crashed down. She did not care who heard her. Kara wanted the entire universe to know that Harry Potter brought her to one of the best and most pleasurable orgasms possible.
Then, Harry came deep inside of Kara. She milked him to drain his balls of every single last drop of seed. Harry's body sized up and released the built up tension. He repeatedly spilled himself into Kara's body.
Kara intended to drain Harry to the last drop, no matter how long it took. Or until her body finally ended up hitting a solar flare from burning to too much yellow solar radiation at once. It would be fun to try.
