Chapter 18
April 19th 2007...
"Chloe," Harry called as he knocked on the door of Chloe's apartment. A moment later Chloe opened the door.
"Come in Clark," Chloe invited.
There was a pair of muddy boots lying on the floor and dried mud tracks along the floor. "What's with the boots?" Harry asked.
"I was doing my dishes last night. Then the next thing I remember is waking up here in bed," Chloe explained. "I don't know where those muddy boots came from."
"That isn't good," Harry said as he produced a hand scanner and began scanning Chloe. Harry also gently telepathically probed his friend's surface thoughts.
"What is it?" Chloe asked as she noticed the troubled expression on her handsome friend's features.
"You have been mentally influenced but the traces are so faint I can barely detect them let alone trace them to their origin point," Harry explained.
"I guess your armor can't protect me from everything," Chloe mused.
"Give me a few hours to recalibrate the sensors and it should be able to block this type of influence. Though I will have to set it to deploy after you have moved out of sight of people not in the know about your armor," Harry explained.
"That sounds good," Chloe agreed. "Hmm...should I still go into work while I am still susceptible," She mused.
"I know for a fact your editor will let you have the time off," Harry assured.
"I'm sure he will," Chloe said wryly, knowing her best friend had purchased the Daily Planet not long ago.
"You can stick close to me until I recalibrate your sensors. Come on. I took the truck over here. Let's take it back to the farm then we can go to the Fortress to work," Harry suggested.
The two friends were soon driving past a field where they saw Lex Luthor's wrecked car situated.
"That was Lex's car," Chloe declared. "I want to know why it was wrecked in a field."
"I will pull over up ahead. You armor up and go invisible. I will go invisible and we can check it out," Harry suggested.
The two friends did so and were soon back at the scene of the wreck. Chloe used the sensors in her armor while Harry used his hand scanner, his eyes, and his super hearing.
"My DNA is all over this place and I found one of my buttons too," Chloe informed her friend. "I'm frying it all with my heat vision," Harry warned. "I also overheard from those at the scene
that you took a flash drive from Lex. Maybe it is back at your apartment."
"Should we go back to my place and look for it or keep going to the Fortress?" Chloe asked.
"We can go back. I think I can manage to keep you under control if some outside entity tries influencing you," Harry replied.
The pair returned to Chloe's apartment and quickly located the flash drive. Chloe set down the small device that was her Kryptonian computer onto her coffee table and plugged the flash drive in. Harry had built the computer with a USB port to interface with Earth technology of the period.
"This is overkill...the flash drive is large in capacity but the flash drive contains only one document. It's a 33.1 case file for a meteor mutant," Chloe explained as she and her friend scanned through the file.
"The meteor mutant is suspected to have the ability to be able to control other meteor mutants," Harry said as he read faster than Chloe. "Open the attached photo of the patient. There is no name but I have ways to find out their identity."
"No need," Chloe said as she beheld her mother.
The woman had disheveled hair and wore a blue medical patient garment but it was definitely Moira Sullivan.
Harry opened the door for Chloe as they entered the mental health institute where Moira Sullivan had spent the better part of a decade trapped in her own mind.
"That photo wasn't the picture of a woman in a catatonic state," Harry mused as he and Chloe walked towards the reception desk.
"Yes, and I would like to find out why. The last time I visited her she was completely catatonic," Chloe whispered back. To the man at the front desk Chloe said louder, "Hello. My name is Chloe Sullivan. I am here to see my mother Moira Sullivan."
"Yesterday we asked you to never come back here after the huge scene you created," Said Michael Bean, the receptionist. "Security will escort you out if you don't leave now. They are on their way."
Bean was nervous. It was obvious something shady was going on at the mental institute. Harry took Chloe by the elbow and guided her away from the desk.
"Wait outside Chloe. I will find out what happened to your mother," Harry said. "I don't think she is here anymore."
Harry and Chloe watched the hologram of the security video recorded from the front desk of the mental institute from the day before. The doctor that had confronted Chloe had claimed Moira's psychiatrist had ordered Moira transferred without notifying Moira's family. Then the doctor had claimed the psychiatrist was out of town at a conference. Unless that conference was in Hawaii Harry very much doubted the truth of that claim. Chloe had gotten violent in her controlled state.
"Your mom must know she needs your help," Harry said. "Lex wasn't personally in contact with this whole business at the mental institute but I bet he is involved now that your mother has been kidnapped."
"How does that do us any good?" Chloe asked.
"Because we have been tracking both Lionel and Lex Luthor for quite some time now. The tech we use to track them is invisible to both Luthors. Not that it was hard given the propensity of your society to carry around these so called smart phones," Raya said as she strode into the chamber from an adjoining lab, having overheard the last bit of the conversation.
"Smart phones are the perfect surveillance tool," Harry explained. "The NSA has software which can selectively hack a smart phone and use it to track the interactions and location of whoever they want."
"I find that very disturbing. But why is it necessary to try to find the facility my mother is being held at? Aren't you guys tracking all 33.1 facilities?" Chloe asked.
"Lex and Lionel have gotten better at hiding their movements from us since they realized they were being watched," Harry explained. "They set up massive cash funds and a network before we were ever onto them. A lot of these facilities operate with a pre-determined mission to capture and study meteor mutants without Lex ever having to visit. He receives reports via several anonymous drops and couriers making it damn hard to trace the facilities. We are just finding this out recently. We think your mother is being studied at one of these facilities. Until Lex visits we have had no way to pinpoint the locations of these facilities."
"Kal, there is an old abandoned hospital on Paper Mill Road outside of Smallville where Lex is currently located," Jor El's voice announced from the Fortress systems.
"I know the place," Harry said. "Let's go get your mom, Chloe. Armor up."
"Gladly," Chloe said. Just as Chloe armored up her armor flashed with a red glow. "It looks like my mom needed me to do something else. We had better hurry."
Harry, Chloe, and Raya were transported away to the location of the 33.1 facility. All three were under personal cloak immediately and Raya was soon floating above the facility watching the two on the ground make their way inside. Naturally the personal cloaks allowed each other to see through the cloaking field. It didn't take them long to locate Moira in her cell.
"Chloe," Moira said with joy in her tone when her daughter faded into sight along with Harry.
The helmet of Chloe's armor had retracted at her mental command. Alice had taken over the local security system and was hiding their presence from Luthor's people.
"Mom," Chloe said happily as she hugged her mother.
"What is going on?" Moira asked. "I sent you out of Smallville just a few minutes ago. Lex Luthor said he was going to send people after you."
"That was what your armor blocked," Harry said. "Mrs. Sullivan, I am your daughter's friend Clark Kent. It's a long story but I was able to devise a way to block your control over Chloe."
Moira was stunned speechless for a few moments before tears came to her eyes. "Mom...what is it? What is wrong?" Chloe asked.
"If what you say is true then the reason I signed myself into that mental institute no longer exists," Moira explained. "Do you remember when you were eight and you hurt your hands?"
"Of course," Chloe said. "I have never played kick-ball since then."
"Kick-ball wasn't the reason for your injury. You came home with ink-stained hands and I asked you to wash them. Instead you went to play with your computer. I got a bit too frustrated so I sent you to wash your hands until all the ink was removed. I later found you with bloody hands. You had rubbed them raw and kept going," Moira admitted with tears in her eyes. "I had to protect you from me...from this control I have over you and apparently other meteor infected."
"Mom, I understand. I don't blame you for what happened. We can talk about this later. Right now we need to go," Chloe said. "Clark," she prompted.
Harry scooped Moira up in his arms.
"Hold on tight, Mrs. Sullivan," Harry directed. Moira did so and began to ask, "Why?"
Moira's breathe was taken away as she was whisked away in a burst of super-speed. Moira was set down beside Raya who had returned to ground level before Harry ran back inside and
retrieved Chloe at super-speed. The transporter whisked the trio away once more but with an extra person in tow.
"Where are we?" Moira asked.
"We call it the Fortress of Solitude," Raya answered. "I'm Raya," Raya greeted.
"Moira," Moira replied absently as she looked around the fortress with amazement.
"We'll leave you two to get reacquainted," Harry told Chloe and Moira.
Chloe shot her friend a grateful look. He had given her license to tell her mother pretty much everything about his Kryptonian nature and their friendship.
"What is this?" Moira asked as she reached out and touched the stasis field that held what appeared to be a sleeping younger version of her.
"That is a clone of you. We have only aged it to Chloe's age. We corrected the defect in your genetics that causes your catatonic state," Raya explained. "You will no longer need the drug Lex Luthor's people developed to keep you lucid."
"But how does that help me? I'm in this body," Moira said while motioning towards her own body.
"We can transfer your mind to that body...all that you are," Harry assured. "Just lay on this bed."
Moira slowly approached the crystalline bed and Chloe said, "It's alright mom. You'll be fine."
Moira climbed up onto the bed and laid down. Within moments she was enveloped in a purple energy field. Harry could sense as Moira's essence was drawn out of her body and channeled through zero point energy pathways into the stasis chamber. He deactivated the stasis field as he felt the transfer take hold. Moira's original form was transported away to be stored in stasis in case any complications arose with Moira's new body. But Harry didn't expect any. Cloning and consciousness transferal were pretty routine for the reality traveling Asuran.
Moira opened her eyes and slowly stepped out of the stasis chamber. She stumbled for a second but Chloe caught Moira and stabilized the woman.
"This will take some getting used to. Thanks, Chloe," Moira said as she gained her balance and stood up straighter. She held her arms up and analyzed her skin. "I had forgotten how great it felt to be this young." To Harry and Raya, she said, "Thank you. What now?"
"Now you begin your new life as Lynda Carter," Raya said while handing Moira a set of identification documents including driver's license, social security card, birth certificate, and many other documents.
"You will be roommates with Chloe in one of the living habitats that are free to all humans," Harry explained.
"Chloe told me about those," Moira mused as she examined her new ID. "Won't Luthor be able to find me?"
"Our Fortress AI will be blocking Luthor from digitally finding you. We will set you up with the same holographic masking technology that keeps the public from recognizing us when we are Super-Man and Super-Woman," Raya explained.
"The Luthors are tracked. If you are ever in danger of meeting them in person the holo-tech will activate," Harry assured.
"I can never thank you both enough," Moira said to the two Kryptonians.
"There is no need. Chloe is family. Therefore you are family," Harry replied while Raya nodded agreement.
April 26th 2007...
Harry and Raya arrived on the scene at the entrance to Smallville Medical Center. An ambulance was unloading a bloody Lionel wearing an oxygen mask. Martha was standing next to Jor El.
"Lionel just called me and asked me to come and to bring you," Martha informed her son when he stepped up next to her.
"Lex," Lionel said as he pulled back his mask. "Lex is still down there. Clark, you have to save him," Lionel pleaded. "He is being held hostage by a mad-woman. There is no time for the police to get to him. The network of tunnels is a maze and Lex has put something terrible into motion down there that only he is able to stop."
"We have to get him to surgery," The paramedic said urgently. Harry and Raya watched Lionel being wheeled away.
"Are you going to save Lex?" Raya asked.
"Hell no," Harry answered.
"I thought so. I just wanted to check," Raya said.
"How about we go check out the scene. I'm tempted to keep an eye on the woman who kidnapped Lex," Harry suggested. "She deserves a reward for what she is probably going to do to him. Plus I am curious why she took him."
"Let's go," Raya agreed.
The couple was gone in twin blurs of light.
Harry and Raya arrived near the entrance to a network of tunnels that ran underground in a maze near and entering into the dam closest to crater lake. Supposedly Luther Corp was working on building a water purification plant below ground using the network of tunnels. A quick scan of the ground with matter-penetrating vision and the Kryptonian couple knew this information was false. They could see a hidden Luthor Corp lab down there. But they could also see the tunnels were lined with explosives.
"Going down there could be very dangerous for those rescue crews," Raya pointed out while nodding towards the teams of humans heading into the tunnels.
"I think they will be smart enough to spot the explosives and clear out the tunnels first," Harry asserted.
"You are probably right," Raya said before speeding to a spot where her vision told her Lex was being held.
Lex was tied up to a pole with a rather attractive blonde woman standing in front of him.
"Jodi Keenan whose husband West went MIA in Afghanistan not long ago," Harry announced as he peered at the blonde woman. Just then the Kryptonians observed Jodi and Lex struggle for her gun until she ended up gut shot on the ground. "Stay here," Harry ordered before he phased through the ground down into the chamber below just as Jodi activated a block of C4 using a manual trigger.
Harry wrapped Jodi in a shield which directed the force of the blast away from her and right towards Lex. She had disabled Lex's enhancement suit that had allowed him to walk or so she had thought. Lex had ordered a backup control system built into the suit that had allowed him to get the upper hand when he had regained consciousness from the sucker blow that had landed him into that mess. But when the blast hit him he was thrown into the nearest wall with enough force to render him unconscious and render the suit inoperable. Lex was still alive but he wouldn't be walking out of that mess.
Harry grabbed Jodi and transported her back to the surface. He placed his hand on her wound and a brilliant glow emanated from his palm. Jodi gasped as her wound rapidly began to close and heal. Raya stared at her lover in amazement.
"How are you doing that?" Raya asked.
"I have been holding back powers that you didn't know about, my love," Harry answered. "I have decided it was time you knew more about me."
As he finished speaking Harry pulled a fully healed Jodi to her feet.
"Thank you so much," Jodi said. "But I would also like to know why you did that?"
"Anybody who has a hate-on for Lex Luthor as much as you do is a friend in my book," Harry replied. "He committed more than just crimes against you, Jodi. He and his father have committed many crimes against humanity."
"Let's free your husband," Raya suggested.
"Wes is here after all?" Jodi asked, perking up.
"Yes, in a secret lab right down there," Raya answered while pointing in a particular direction.
"Judging from what we can see of him it might take us a few weeks to undo the mutations or as much as you and West want us to undo. We might be able to stabilize his new abilities," Harry mused.
"New abilities, mutations, what did Luthor do to Wes?" Jodi demanded.
"He blended the abilities of several meteor mutants into your husband," Raya explained. "Though Wes' abilities aren't that stable at the moment."
"We will take you to one of our facilities where we will put Wes into stasis. You can stay with him until we have him fixed up. You can even communicate with him in a virtual reality I will create," Harry explained.
Raya looked at her boyfriend questioningly and assumed this new technology he was talking about was related to the abilities he had been hiding.
"That sounds good. Thank you both so much," Jodi said.
Raya and Harry returned to their bedroom next to their lab at the Fortress after having gotten the Keenans sorted. They spent a lot of their time in that bedroom. Raya's mind was still going
over the details of all of the advanced stasis and virtual reality technology she had just witnessed being used.
"Will you tell me now where these abilities and technology come from?" Raya asked as she sat on the side of the bed next to her mate.
"You are familiar with Kryptonian studies into alternate realities?" Harry inquired.
"Yes. Though those studies were not extensive I am familiar with them," Raya confirmed.
"In another reality a male born on Earth by the name of Harry Potter learned he was the hybrid between humans and a far older race that makes the entire Kryptonian society seem like children if you want to compare ages. Harry Potter took up the legacy of his ancestors and became very powerful. After he had become well established and stable as the ruler of his people in his home universe Harry wanted to explore other universes. He cloned his consciousness, his soul, his abilities, and everything that made him what he was except his body and sent it onto a neighboring reality. Harry's essence would inhabit and blend with the willing counterpart he had in that neighboring reality," Harry explained.
Raya listened in fascination. She was familiar with the concept of a counterpart in other realities. "What if the counterpart had been unwilling to merge?" Raya inquired.
"Then the targeting technology Harry used to choose realities would have never taken him to that new reality," Harry explained. "The targeting technology would have chosen another reality. Once that counterpart became established in a new reality he would clone himself and send his cloned essence onto another reality. All of these clones were linked back to the original reality so the original Harry and his mates could view the events in other universes. Think of it like human television. The original Asurans could view the events in different universes like different channels. Each Asuran was equipped with a very advanced artificial intelligence which could focus in on events their Asuran would find most interesting. Of course with human television you couldn't actually experience the sensory information that you can with this Asuran system."
"I am assuming Asuran is the name of Harry Potter's ancestral race? And is Alice your AI?" Raya queried.
Raya had met Alice before and had thought it was a very advanced AI her mate had created. She just hadn't realized it was created by a different version of her mate.
"Yes, and yes," Harry answered with a grin. "I know you have questions. Ask me anything you want and I will answer."
Raya put her Kryptonian physiology to the test asking questions for they did not sleep for a considerable period of time. In the end Raya was fascinated by this new aspect of her mate and was not at all put off by it.
May 10th 2007...
Wes Keenan opened his eyes and found his beautiful wife staring down at him with a nervous look on her features. He couldn't resist and leaned up from the stasis chamber enough to plant a kiss on her lips.
"Mmm," Jodi moaned approvingly. "Welcome back to the land of the conscious," She added after they broke the kiss.
Wes sat up and looked around the crystalline lab he had been helped in. Wes was used to being in labs by this point. He stared down at his body and raised his hands. He flexed those hands and felt the power in his limbs.
"You're going to need to go through some sparring drills to get used to that power," Harry cautioned.
Wes had already been briefed on his new physiology in the virtual reality environment his rescuers had set up for him. He had even gotten to spend some private time with Jodi in that virtual reality. He knew that Lex Luthor had spliced multiple meteor mutant powers into his genetics along with the DNA of an alien known by humans as Titan.
"Sure," Wes agreed. "I'm willing to do that after what you have done for me."
"Perhaps after you have gotten settled you might join the team we are forming of other beings with special abilities to protect Earth. But don't feel any pressure," Harry suggested.
Raya came over and handed Wes an arm band.
"Do not engage in any sexual activities without that arm band on until you have full control over your powers. Otherwise you could injure Jodi. Even something as basic as an orgasm could threaten a human's life at the new level of power you wield," Raya warned. "That arm band will suppress your powers while you are wearing it."
"Whatever you say, Doc," Wes replied while taking Jodi's hand in his being careful to treat her gently.
"How long do you think it will take him to gain a handle on his abilities?" Jodi asked. "That all depends on how hard he works at it. But there is no pressure," Harry answered. "Will Wes still be able to father children?" Jodi asked hopefully.
"I anticipated you might ask that question," Raya said. "I ran a simulation. Wes can father children but they will not be fully human. They will have some measure of his abilities. And if you bear his children Jodi you might be augmented with your own abilities though not as powerful as those Wes possesses."
"Thank you," Jodi said gratefully.
"We'll leave you to show Wes where he can get cleaned up, Jodi. We won't be at this lab complex all the time. I have set up a training simulator in the sparring room I showed you. A hologram of Alice will show you how to use it and see to your needs," Harry said as Alice's hologram materialized into existence and gave a wave.
"Thank you both so much," Wes said before the two superheroes nodded and then were gone. "Put that arm band on and let's go get you cleaned up," Jodi urged.
"Yes Ma'am," Wes agreed.
Harry and Raya arrived at the Daily Planet after Chloe asked them to come.
"This is something you guys will need to be involved in," Chloe said as she came back from retrieving a cup of coffee for her cousin and handed Lois the mug.
"Judging by the fact you are here and not at the hospital I am going to assume that isn't your blood," Harry said as he analyzed the blood on Lois' blouse. "What happened?"
"One minute I was questioning Senator Burke about his involvement with the Luthors and the next minute...they came out of nowhere...like they just appeared," Lois explained. "It was Wes...a guy I grew up with."
"Wes Keenan," Reya clarified.
"Yeah...how did you know that?" Lois asked in confusion.
"They cloned Wes. But I don't think they would have enough DNA from Raschick to give the clones Raschick's powers," Raya told her mate. "This is not good."
"What are you guys talking about?" Lois asked.
"Chloe, we don't have time for this. You have my permission to tell Lois our true nature. Honestly Oliver has been after me enough to tell her. Lois, tell your boyfriend to go ahead and initiate protocol Disclosure," Harry instructed.
Then the two Kryptonians vanished.
"So you are saying Luthor had me cloned?" Wes asked in shock. "Yes," Harry confirmed.
"How do you know I'm not the clone?" Wes asked worriedly.
"We would have detected genetic indicators if you were. You are the original," Raya assured. "Your clones won't have your strength. Our systems are scanning the Earth for genetic clones of you as we speak."
"I want to help you take them out," Wes said.
"That is too dangerous with your powers in such an uncontrolled state," Harry advised. "We just wanted to let you know because we would want to know if we had been cloned."
"Thank you," Wes said. "You two are the experienced ones in this super powered scene so I will follow your plan."
"Thank you," Raya answered. "We need to go now." The couple vanished.
Super-Man and Super-Woman arrived in the lab where Wes' clones were stored to find only two of the several dozen clones were active. Dr. Donovan Jamison and Jason Bartlett were standing near the chairs that held the two clones. They looked up at the sound of the new arrivals.
"Oh shit," Bartlett said.
"Kill them," Jamison ordered the two clones.
Barlett and Jamison were Lex's employees that worked for Lex on Project Ares. The two men were trying to clean up the loose ends with anybody who knew about their involvement in Ares. Senator Burke had been one of those loose ends.
The two clones of Wes leapt out of their chairs and vanished before taking off at super-speed towards the two Kryptonians. Both Harry and Raya reacted with their heat vision, drilling the two clones faster than the clones could run. The clones materialized as they flew back into the wall with holes drilled in their chests.
"Time to go to jail," Harry said as he approached the two men.
Bartlett pulled a gun and futilely tried shooting Super-Man. Harry grabbed the gun and crushed it while Super-Woman apprehended Jamison. The two criminals were rendered unconscious before Barlett's security forces received the same treatment. Harry and Raya then used nanites to scramble the DNA of Wes' clones so that no genetic research could be performed from the clones before they contacted the authorities.
Chloe watched as the Green Arrow appeared on the video she had just loaded onto her computer. That video was being played by most major news agencies and had many in an uproar.
"You know me as the vigilante Green Arrow. I am talking to you today to reveal to you the truth about Lex and Lionel Luthor. Over the past year the Luthors have been monitored committing horrible crimes against humanity. Attached with this video is all the proof needed to convict both men. Though Lex has just died by the hands of one of his intended victims Lionel can still pay for his crimes," Oliver said. "Justice is served."
That was all Green Arrow had said but the evidence really spoke for itself. Then video was shown of Lionel being arrested. Chloe smiled as she watched Lionel being carted away. Finally the Luthors would be brought to justice. Chloe thought it fitting that Clark let Oliver be the instrument for Lionel's downfall considering it was Lionel that had Oliver's parents murdered.
"It is done," Raya announced happily after she materialized back into the lab at the Fortress she shared with her mate.
"Congratulations," Harry replied. "How did it go getting reacquainted with your family?"
After learning of her mate's Asuran nature she had quickly realized he could perform many wondrous feats with time travel. She had inquired about the possibility of saving Krypton. In this universe it had been an instability in Krypton's star Rao that had taken out Krypton. Zod had corrupted the brain interactive construct Brainiac and ordered Brainiac to conceal the truth of the instability from the Kryptonian Council. Raya had used Asuran technology to relocate a suitable star to the Kryptonian star system before she cleared up the debris field from the destroyed Krypton. Next she brought Krypton just prior to Rao's explosion forward into the present time. Then she used her AI watch given to her by her mate to take control and repair Brainiac. Lastly Raya spoke to the Kryptonian Council and convinced them of the truth of the matter. The new star they orbited was proof enough of the validity of her story. Zod was imprisoned in the Phantom Zone.
"They were amazed at everything that has happened. We are considered heroes to our people," Raya answered. She came up and wrapped her arms around Harry from behind and leaned her head against his. "It was really good to see them."
"Did you speak to Jor El and Lara?" Harry asked.
"Yes. They know of your Asuran history and still want to see you," Raya said. "The galactic cluster is in an uproar. Everyone thought Krypton was gone for good and suddenly it is back."
"I can imagine," Harry answered. "I'll go visit Jor El and Lara tomorrow," He decided.
"Are you making your cloned consciousness to send onto the next universe?" Raya asked as she observed what her lover was working on.
"Yes, another week or so and it will be ready for me to send. After I do that and things have settled down on Krypton and Earth how about we take a week or two vacation back to my original reality? I would like to show you the wonders of the Asuran Empire in its full glory," Harry suggested.
"I would love that," Raya agreed, excitement in her tone. "Come, I have missed you while I was away. Take me to bed."
Harry did not point out that Raya had not been away for that long. He was after all a genius.
When Harry came to awareness in his third iteration of his adventures in what he called the Smallville reality he did things a little differently. He found he was located at a time period close to when he just sent his consciousness on from the second Smallville reality. He decided not to have Altera Prime built. Harry wanted to wing it a bit.
Harry found himself entering a party at night in Metropolis. The party was Chloe's birthday party. He spotted Chloe out on the balcony and approached her. Harry set his present down in front of her.
"Clark, you shouldn't have," Chloe said with a laugh in her tone as she turned to face him. "I know. But I did. Open it," Harry said with a warm smile.
The present inside was a copy of the book Tales of the Weird & Unexplained.
"Wow. I haven't seen this in ages," Chloe said with a fond smile.
"I thought it would remind us of the good old days," Harry said while recalling Clark's memories of why Clark had originally purchased the gift.
In truth Clark missed the good old days when things were less weird, when the weird hadn't become normal yet.
"Oh it does at that," Chloe said.
"Let's get you into your own party instead of hiding out here on the balcony," Harry suggested.
Chloe nodded agreement and led the way back inside.
"I don't think this helps," Chloe said as she saw Lois laughing and talking with some others. "That was supposed to be my life. One day I'm on the fast track for my dream career as the intrepid reporter. I blink and all of a sudden I'm this underqualified shrink for meteor infected kids who will probably wake up to be psycho kills while you and Lois are walking the beat as reporters. Oh and did I mention that I was actually able to hold onto happily ever after for about 2.3 seconds before my marriage imploded."
"I think we've arrived at the real reason for your thoughts tonight," Harry said.
"I'm sorry for being so dramatic tonight," Chloe said.
"You're entitled to it given what you've been through," Harry pointed out.
"I really would love to know how Lois does it," Chloe admitted. "With everything that has gone on lately I sometimes wish I could just leave it all behind and go back to the bull pen."
"Hey," Lois interrupted at that point as she came forward with a cupcake holding a lit candle. "One year closer to the sweet release of death," Lois declared while handing Chloe the cupcake.
"That's pretty darn morbid," Chloe said with a laugh.
"Chloe, I am so sorry. There has been a factory workers revolt in Mexico City. The Planet is flying me down el primero classo wheels up in thirty," Lois explained as she put a birthday girl tiara on Chloe. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do. Love you," She added with a hug and a kiss before leaving.
Just then a dark haired young woman in her twenties approached. Her outfit was quite sexy in a tuxedo top and fishnet stockings. She held a tray on her bosom using a strap that went around her neck.
"You two look like you could use a little magic in your lives," Zatanna said.
"I find my life to be pretty magical as it is at the moment. She could use some help though," Harry said while admiring Zatanna's sexy form.
Harry decided he missed the low dose of red kryptonite he and Clark used in the first Smallville reality. So he fixed that. He felt his inhibitions ease a bit as he modified his infection wards to accept the small dose of red kryptonite radiation.
"Alright birthday girl. Let's make sure tomorrow is very magical. Make a wish," Zatanna urged.
Chloe blew out her birthday candle. Harry felt the magic sweep out from Zatanna then. He would have blocked it but Alice's analysis told him the spell was transfiguration based with a time delay. It wasn't harmful to Chloe. Harry decided to take a wait and see approach. Zatanna
was now even more intriguing to Harry. Harry stuck around the party and helped clean up afterwards. Zatanna eyed him interestingly the rest of the night.
The Next Day, The Daily Planet Bull Pen
Harry spotted who at first glance seemed to be Lois sitting at her desk when she was supposed to be in Mexico City. Harry quickly realized it was Chloe when he felt the transfiguration magic upon her with Zatanna's magical signature.
"Lois," Harry said with surprise. "Aren't you supposed to be in Mexico City?" "Really, even you?" Chloe asked.
Harry decided to see how this played out. Chloe had said she wanted to just escape a little bit back to the bull pen. He was willing to let her.
"Even me what?" Harry replied.
"Never mind. I never made it to Mexico City," Chloe said.
"Well since you are here we should go check this out," Harry said as an alert came over the computer. "Police stand-off Main and Fifth."
"Let's get a move on then Smallville," Chloe said as she grabbed her jacket.
Harry was getting ready to get into a cab with Chloe when he sensed that he was being watched. That sense told him that something from the arcane side of things was watching him. Harry used his own arcane senses to track the source to an alley nearby the Daily Planet.
"Lois, something just came up," Harry said as he checked his cell phone making it seem like he had gotten a text message. "I'll have to meet you at the scene."
"Suit yourself Smallville. I'll see you there," Chloe said, doing her best to act like she thought Lois would.
As Lois left, Harry walked into the alley where he sensed he was being observed from. "It is not a threat," Alice told her companion with an amused tone to her mental voice.
"Your ability to hide yourself intrigues me," Harry said as he looked right at the magician from the night before named Zatanna despite the Notice-Me-Not-like charm she was surrounding herself with.
"Impressive. I'm beginning to think your reputation was well earned," Zatanna said as she dropped the magical charm.
In this universe it would appear Clark had a side job. For the right price and the right cause he could locate items for people.
"What can I do for you Miss Zatara?" Harry asked.
Zatanna's eyebrows climbed even higher at his knowledge of her name.
"Just call me Zatanna please," Zatanna said as she held out her hand.
"Call me Clark," Harry said as he shook her hand.
Zatanna was wearing a leather top and a mini-skirt that revealed her legs clad in boots that almost came up to her knees. The outfit served to make Zatanna look very sexy.
"I need your help," Zatanna said. "My father passed away. His legacy which was recorded in a book that has been passed down for generations. Lex Luthor acquired this book at auction. I've heard you can find virtually anything if you think the cause is right."
"This wouldn't happen to be a spell book of some sort would it?" Harry asked. "Considering your father is a world renowned magician," Harry added.
"It may be," Zatanna said. "I can make the cause seem very right," She said as she got closer. "I have the ability to grant one wish. Big or small whatever you wish for in that moment it can be yours."
Harry openly admired Zatanna's form and said, "I don't think you need any magic to grant what I'm wishing for at this particular moment."
Zatanna looked Harry over openly before leaning in and whispering, "It would take magic for you to be able to be with two of me." She leaned back then and looked him directly in the eye. "Get me my book and I'll make it happen." She turned and began to walk away while sashaying her hips. "But the offer expires at midnight," She added while emphasizing the but by giving a small thrust back with her butt. Then she vanished via apparition.
Harry hadn't had much dealings with the wizarding world of these Smallville realities. He knew they were present but he believed they were smaller than in his original universe.
"You make a very enticing offer Ms. Zatara," Harry said out loud.
Harry arrived at Main and Fifth just as Chloe in Lois' form arrived.
"I would ask how you got here so fast but I feel like you wouldn't tell me," Chloe said while still pretending to play dumb.
She wanted to be Lois for a while longer yet. But she knew it wouldn't last. Even Clark as oblivious as he was would figure it out. The two turned their attention to the man wearing a bath robe and shouting into a megaphone while throwing pillows off of the fire escape attached to his apartment window. The man was shouting in dead ancient Earth languages.
Just then a police officer, Officer Dawson, approached Chloe and said, "Alright Lane, this squares up for Friday night's poker game." Dawson handed Chloe some money. "And by the way, I've been working on my bluff OK."
"Right, keep up the good work there tough guy," Chloe said. "What's the deal with our Sophoclean town crier up there?"
Dawson glanced up at the shouting man and back at Chloe in confusion for a moment before explaining, "The situation is that the nut job up on the fire escape owns Yuri's Antiques over on Main Street. He has been babbling in Latin all day. We're told by an expert it is a dead dialect of Latin. See you on Friday," He said before he walked off.
Alice translated for Harry.
"He is talking about a woman who cursed him and a book that brings death," Harry summarized. When Yuri began shouting the name Zatanna, Chloe didn't need a translation.
"I bet it was this same witchy woman who did this to me," Chloe said as she pulled Harry aside. "I know where she is performing tonight. Maybe you could super-speed over to this antique shop and dust off any leads."
"You are ready to give up pretending to be Lois?" Harry asked.
"You knew?" Chloe asked in surprise.
"Chloe, you're my best friend. I can tell these things," Harry assured. "Why go along with it?" Chloe questioned.
"Because it was something you seemed ok with," Harry answered. "Thank you, Clark," Chloe said, honestly touched.
Harry and Chloe arrived in front of the theater where Zatanna would be performing that evening in a burst of super-speed.
"That's always a rush," Chloe quipped.
Harry popped the lock on one of the doors and the two quickly located Zatanna. They found her in her dressing room holding a picture of her with an older man. The older man was her father John Zatara. The details of John's death were not publicly known. The coroner's report said a heart attack. But Harry was suspicious it was something else.
"It won't be much longer father," Zatanna said.
Harry cleared his throat. Zatanna turned around and recognized her visitors.
Before either could get a word out Chloe said, "I need you to reverse the curse you put on me." "You think it was a curse?" Zatanna asked. "I granted you a wish."
"Why would I wish myself into this?" Chloe asked with embarrassment.
"I don't know. It was your wish. I don't read your mind. My power just lets me grant your wish," Zatanna replied. "I'm not saying this was your heart's deepest desire. But in that moment, this is what you wanted."
"Maybe just for a second I was a little jealous of Lois living my dream life with Clark at the Daily Planet," Chloe admitted. "But I didn't literally want her life. Not like this."
"Well don't worry. It will wear off as soon as you don't want it anymore," Zatanna assured. Chloe let out a relieved sigh and said, "Fine. I don't want it."
When nothing happened Harry said, "Chloe you may say that out loud. But deep down you must still want it."
"He gets the idea," Zatanna said.
"Yuri from the antique shop seems to be pretty dissatisfied too. He believes you cursed him as well," Harry pointed out.
"He wanted a better understanding of dead languages. I wanted an heirloom of my father's. We traded. People don't seem to understand the repercussions of suddenly getting what they want," Zatanna said.
"Yuri said the book you were after would bring death," Harry replied. "What does that mean?"
"It's a superstition regarding the book," Zatanna said. "No need to worry." It was then that Harry heard something that he could tell hadn't been spoken aloud. It wasn't telepathy but more likeavibrationjustnearhiseardrumthatChloewouldn'tbeabletohear. "I'llbeseeingyou later I hope Clark."
Then Zatanna vanished.
"Well that was crazy. I need to figure out how to get this magic to wear off," Chloe said.
"Just give it time. Let me take you back to the Planet. I've got to go take care of some stuff," Harry said.
Chloe nodded her agreement and they too vanished.
Harry walked out of the building where Lex Luthor's personal belongings were held holding Zatanna's spell book. Alice had already scanned the book and knew its entire contents. The magic inside the book made those contents quite extensive. Harry knew the moment Zatanna apparated in behind him. The form of apparition in this universe was just slightly different. It had a different feel to Harry's arcane powers.
Zatanna clapped as Harry turned around and said, "Bravo. You found my book and pulled it off in style."
"Well thank you," Harry said. "Can you explain to me what you intend to do with this book? I'm a little worried about what you intend to do."
"The sick irony of my ability is that I can grant everyone's wish but my own," Zatanna said. "That book is the only way I can bring my father back."
"Not the only way," Harry thought to himself.
"Please give me the book," Zatanna asked in a pleading tone.
Harry handed the book to Zatanna. He hadn't yet decided what to do yet. But the slight red kryptonite radiation in his system made him want her very badly.
"You got what you want," Harry said.
"And you'll get what you want," Zatanna said as she stepped forward and kissed Harry. The pair kissed heatedly for some time.
"I could use one more good lay before the end. And he looks like he is up to the task," Zatanna thought to herself. Out loud she said, "Let's save the doubles for an encore performance. For now you get me."
"I like the sound of that," Harry said with a grin.
She apparated them away heading to her bedroom.
Begin Smut Scene
Harry gave one last lick up Zatanna's juicy slit before ending with a light suck on her clit. She moaned approvingly as he stood, his shaft turgid and ready to go. She looked incredibly beautiful splayed out before him with her legs parted and her glistening slit ready for some action. Harry stepped forward then between her legs. His knees brushed the edge of the bed she was laying back on. Harry had transfigured the bed to be higher but he wasn't sure she had even realized it so lost to lust was she. He grasped his prick and guided the tip to her entrance. Their gazes locked with one another as he slowly pressed forward and down driving his length into her. Harry didn't go too fast. Her snatch was tight and he didn't want to hurt her. Zatanna gave a small gasp as he pushed inch after inch of his shaft into her folds. He felt the slick heat of her grip him as he entered her. The contact of her supply flesh around his length made him feel invigorated, alive in a way that simply couldn't be matched by any other sensation. It felt right to be buried completely in Zatanna as he finished impaling her sweet quim.
Zatanna couldn't help the moan that escaped her as her partner's entire shaft achieved entry into her pussy. She had never felt this full! She leaned up and kissed him hungrily. He returned her kiss. Their lips danced together, kissing repeatedly again and again. She felt him shift his weight upon her which in turn shifted his hardness within her. Then he drew back. She missed him immediately and felt so empty. He remedied that by reversing direction and sliding his weapon back into her sheathe. The surge of pleasure that shot out of her vagina was sudden and vicious in intensity. She loved it and couldn't get enough. Apparently neither could he because he repeated the spearing of her quim again and again. Zatanna lost herself to the pleasure that was building from his strokes in her core. They kissed off and on. In between bouts of kissing as he continued to stroke to and from her cunny, Zatanna felt his breathe hot against the side of her face. He let out tiny groans and moans that were music to her ears.
Harry rocked his hips back and forth to stroke his prick again and gain inside Zatanna's slick pussy. Her legs were wrapped around him. He used his left arm to take most of his weight and reached down with his right arm until his hand cupped her butt. Harry focused his magic on stimulating her clit so she didn't have to. Dozens of strokes turned into hundreds until time lost all meaning. Harry just knew that he was stroking back and forth through the smoldering womanly core between Zatanna's thighs while she pressed herself against him. She looked absolutely gorgeous beneath him as she alternated between closing her eyes and opening those eyes to stare lustily up at him. Harry's own lust was making it hard for him to keep from releasing within her. But he wanted to enjoy this. Zatanna was the first to lose control. He felt her snatch clasping and pulsing around his hardness as he pumped out her depths. She cried out
and thrust her cunny up at his manhood and a flood of juices escaped her impaled gash. Harry continued to slowly pump even after he felt the peak of her climax was gradually released.
Zatanna opened her eyes when she felt her lover still within her. He was staring at her with a look of satisfaction blended with a pleased expression.
"That was fantastic," Zatanna admitted. She stole a quick peck upon his lips. "How do you want to finish?" She asked.
He appeared thoughtful for several moments before he suggested, "How about doggy-style?"
Zatanna liked that suggestion so nodded. He pulled out of her. She switched positions so that she was on her hands and knees. She felt him line himself back up with her slit and he was quickly pumping back into her. Zatanna loved this new angle. He was hitting places he hadn't touched during missionary. She felt his hands on her hips. She looked back over the shoulder to see him gazing hungrily down at her butt. She wiggled her hips and caught his gaze as he looked up at her. There was a hunger in his eyes that made her even wetter around him. Zatanna let out a moan of approval as the tip of his length touched just the right spot within her. She squeezed her inner muscles around him to show her approval. She felt his grip upon her hips tighten and the speed and urgency of her thrusting pick up just a little bit. Zatanna closed her eyes as she reveled in the sensation of being skewered by her new lover. She again allowed herself to lose track of any sense of time she once had. There was only her lover and his hardness pumping into her stretching her in all the right ways.
Harry felt Zatanna's meaty nether lips slide around the length of his shaft as he thrust to and from her cunny. The slickness of her pocket felt absolutely superb. That womanly pocket felt like it was made just to take his shaft. The supple flesh within rubbed his frenulum in just the right way. The sight was even better when combined with that sensation. The brunette beneath him had a fantastic ass which was bumping back against his pelvis with each driving thrust into her. Her curves were definitely there. He saw her crinkled star winking up at him begging for some attention later. But at the moment Harry was perfectly satisfied with her pussy. Harry's thoughts went to filling that pussy with his hot seed. Some day this gorgeous woman might bear his children. For now she would get a healthy injection of his creamy load into her core. He leaned over her back covering her with his form. He watched the expressions her features transformed through. She was definitely enjoying the shafting her sleeve was getting.
"Yes," Zatanna whispered. "Yes...yes...yes! Fuck me," She whispered between moans.
Zatanna was a woman on a mission. She wanted to feel her partner spill his seed within her. She was clenching and releasing her kegel muscles around his hardness again and again to that end. She just wasn't sure who was going to cum first. Despite the fact that she had just climaxed not all that long ago, Zatanna was feeling her body screaming at her to cum again. His hard tool carved out her insides with an unrelenting pace that saw her resolve to hold off crumple. She
leaned back into his grasp as his hands shifted to her breasts. She pressed her back against his muscled chest. His hot breath was in her ear. She turned her mouth. His lips captured hers in a demanding kiss. His tongue slipped between her lips into her mouth and took his pleasure from her just as his shaft was doing to her sex. Zatanna didn't know how long they had been on it. But sweat was coating them both now. She didn't think the sweat was from the exertion so much as the intensity. Whatever the case she was quickly tipping over the edge.
This time Harry didn't know who came first truly. They both may have climaxed at the same time. Whatever the case, Harry was pressing as far as he could go into her as pulse after pulse of hot semen surged into her quivering quim. Her cunny milked at his hard length as he pumped her full of his cream. Their ecstasy was mutual and intense as their sexes expanded, contracted, and shuddered around, inside, and against one another. Harry let out deep grunts and groans as he pressed himself as much as he could within her without hurting her. Zatanna just took everything he was giving her and loved every second of it. Their juices mingled within her core. His arcane power surged forth within her connecting them in a way that transcended the mortal existence. Their orgasm joined and intensified feeding off of one another until she simply had to collapse forward. He rode her down to the bed still sheathed within her.
The two lovers remained joined together for some time until he gradually softened and slipped from her vaginal embrace. The two lovers just held one another cuddling.
End Smut Scene
Zatanna finished dressing as her lover slept in her bed. It had truly been the best sex of her life. It was a shame her life would have to end before she got to experience more of such amazing sex. She had felt a connection with Clark. She didn't know if there was anything there emotionally. But that hadn't been what their sex had been about. It gave her the strength to go do what needed to be done. She glanced one last time at the man she had put a sleeping spell on before apparating away.
Harry opened his eyes looking after where Zatanna had just been. Her sleeping spell had been easy to nullify. His clothes materialized on him. He became invisible and he vanished into the shadows after her.
Harry stayed in the shadows of the roof top not far from Zatanna's house. He could sense the ritual runes that had been inscribed into the roof top for this spell.
"As life is lived from front to back, let death be turned back to front," Zatanna chanted while reading from her spell book. "Grant me my wish. Resurrect John Zatara. Da eq eq mortag," She finished which caused a wave of golden light to wash out from the book and shoot straight up in a beam.
A storm of magical energy began to form over the building they were on. A golden portal began to form in front of Zatanna.
"Daddy," Zatanna said with hope and the tone of a lost little girl.
Time seemed to freeze around Zatanna then. She looked around in confusion. The entire world seemed to be frozen. She was confused. The book hadn't described this as part of the spell. Then her recent lover stepped out of the shadows.
"Hello Zatanna," Harry said.
"Clark...what's going on?" Zatanna asked in bewilderment.
Harry took a step closer and looked at Zatanna with a look of concern.
"Your father wouldn't want you to sacrifice your life to bring him back. No decent parent would want that," Harry said.
"He wasn't meant to die," Zatanna insisted. "A demon sensed my power and came after me. My father fought it off but died doing so. It's my fault. The world needs him far more than it needs me."
"That isn't true Zatanna," John Zatara said as he stepped out of a portal of shadows controlled by Harry.
Flashback
John Zatara yet again eyed the book that could be his salvation and was his greatest torture. He had seriously considered using the spell to resurrect Zatanna even though it had cost him his life. He had failed to save his little girl. If he brought her back but died in the process she would be incredibly distraught. Instead, he had spent all these years modifying the ritual and collecting what he needed. He had found a way to use other life energy to power the ritual rather than his own sacrifice. John had then spent many of those years fighting some of the darkest beings on the planet. From the death of each of these dark beings John managed to save up a little bit of the necessary life force to power the ritual. John was almost there.
John was brought out of his musings in his lab by the arrival of a powerful arcane presence. John spun surprised that anything had gotten through his wards. What he saw before him was a man. But John's senses betrayed this being as almost god-like in power.
"Who are you?" John asked. "What are you?"
John prepared himself to fight this being if it proved hostile.
"Relax John Zatara. I am a friend. I am not from this universe. I am from a universe where you managed to save your daughter but at the cost of your life. Even now she prepares to use the
spell to resurrect you. It will cost her what your counterpart died to grant her. My name is Clark. Will you help me convince her to not resurrect you?" Harry asked.
John was not unfamiliar with the existence of other realities. But he had never met a visitor from one. John touched the amulet around his neck which held the power collected to fuel the ritual. There was no way to tell if this being was lying. But if John must he thought the power in the amulet would be a hell of a whammy should he need to fight.
"I will help you," John agreed.
End Flashback
John stepped out of the portal and beheld his adult daughter. She was every bit as beautiful as her mother. But he also saw signs of his features in her. She must be quite the magnet for men.
"Daddy," Zatanna said with awe before rushing forward and enveloping him in a hug.
John hugged Zatanna back just as tightly. He felt her tremble against him. She clung to him desperately.
"It's alright," John said as he rubbed her back soothingly.
"Daddy, I've missed you," Zatanna said.
Harry cleared his throat then. Zatanna and John both looked to him.
"I'll leave you two alone for a little while. John here can't stay forever. But if you become my apprentice and study under me you will be able to learn how to get what you want Zatanna," Harry said.
With that Harry disappeared in the shadows. Zatanna had very little illusion as to what study under meant.
"Who is he Zatanna?" John asked as soon as Harry was gone.
"His name is Clark. He's a...a friend," Zatanna said while blushing a little at answering that to her father.
John was no dummy. He knew what kind of friend Harry likely was.
"Be careful with him," John warned. "To be able to cross the boundary between realities he must be as powerful as one of the ancient gods."
"Do you think I should apprentice under him?" Zatanna asked. John looked thoughtful at that.
"What do your instincts tell you? Your instincts can often be useful," John finally said.
Zatanna didn't answer immediately. She thought about it. Her instincts told her to trust Harry. But that could just be the fantastic sex talking.
"I think I can trust him," Zatanna said.
"Then that is settled. Tell me about your life?" John requested.
Father and daughter caught up on their lives. John was distraught to learn his daughter had spent most of her life searching down the book that had been sold off when she was a girl. He showed her a feature that would allow her to call the book to her wherever she might be. When Harry did return it was to a very emotional pair.
"Are you ready to return now?" Harry asked.
"Not really. But now is as probably good as any time," John said.
As Harry watched the father and daughter hug one last time he produced a pair of mirrors from seemingly thin air.
"I have one more gift for you two. These are communication mirrors. Simply say the name of John Zatara or Zatanna Zatara respectively and you will be able to talk to and see one another," Harry said as he handed over the mirrors.
John and Zatanna eagerly took the mirrors.
"Thank you," Zatanna said with tears in her eyes while John nodded his gratitude as well.
Harry sent John back home. Harry waved his hand and caused the time dilation field to collapse along with the spell Zatanna had been working up.
"Just when were you going to tell me you have magic?" Zatanna asked.
"Eventually," Harry admitted.
"Why didn't you do all of this earlier if you knew what I was going to do?" Zatanna asked.
"I wasn't sure how far you would take things," Harry admitted. "A guy has to keep a little mystery."
"What exactly are you?" Zatanna questioned.
"Not like anything you've encountered before," Harry put forth.
"Since you seem to be less than forthcoming at this time. What exactly are the details of me studying under you?" Zatanna asked as she stepped closer and grabbed the front of the jacket he was wearing while flicking her tongue across her lips in a way she knew drove men crazy.
"I think you can figure that one out," Harry said with a smoldering expression. Zatanna truthfully had no problem with that. "Now come on. I think we should go on a little trip about the world to start your training."
This time it was Harry who apparated them away. But to anyone that looked it would simply look like Clark Kent's form had blurred momentarily. In truth, Harry had decided to leave behind a golem which would behave just as Clark Kent would have behaved before Harry had arrived during the time that Harry was away with Zatanna.
