Harley smiled as Batgirl and Xander entered the park. She quickly finished off her hotdog and greeted the pair, "Bats, you coming?"

"To movie night?" Batgirl asked, curious as to how this had come about.

"Yeah, Supergirl ain't seen a lot of Earth movies," Harley said shaking her head. "A lot of pop culture comments completely pass her by because she doesn't get the references, that has to cause some feelings of alienation."

"I hadn't thought of that," Batgirl admitted with a frown, annoyed at herself for missing something so basic.

"Tonight we are binge watching Spielberg movies," Harley explained.

"That does sound like fun," Batgirl admitted. "Where are we doing it?"

"A magically hidden island in the arctic," Harley said. "The place is all sorts of magical."

Seeing Batgirl tensing up a little Xander added, "You can use the League's teleporters, they registered the place for me, and Flash and Superman have both visited recently, so it should be programmed in."

Batgirl relaxed. "Sounds like fun. What time?"

"An hour or so from now," Xander said, "we are just setting it all up."

"I'll be there," Batgirl promised.

"Good, now I just have to locate Zatanna," Harley said.

"Why Zatanna?" Batgirl asked.

"I have several genuine and verified magician suits to trade for some fruit," Harley explained.

"Fruit?"

"Magical fruit Supergirl mentioned," Harley explained.

'They are really going all out,' Batgirl thought. "I'll finish my patrol and meet you there." She turned and shot a grappling hook into the sky before vanishing into the air.

"How are we going to locate Zatanna?" Harley thought aloud.

"Is she performing anywhere?" Xander asked.

"She regularly headlines in Vegas," Harley said. "So, we should check there first."

"Hop on," Xander said as Harley retrieved her garment bags from the bench.

Two minutes later

"She's on the Marque," Xander said as they landed in front of the Crystal Plaza Casino.

"That was quick," Harley said as she hopped off his back.

"Super speed and vision," Xander replied.

"As long as it works," Harley replied, running her fingers through her hair and passing the garment bags to Xander to carry.

The pair entered the casino, the sounds of slot machines and gamblers washing over them accompanied by a plethora of flashing lights and the smell of tobacco and booze.

Harley sighed. "I really should come her for fun sometime."

"Gambling or robbery?" Xander asked with a grin.

"Either, though if I'm going straight-ish, I should probably stick to gambling, maybe a little rumble with security if the place tries to cheat me," Harley said thoughtfully.

"Sounds good," Xander agreed.

"This way," Harley said, guiding them to an information desk.

"How may I help you?" the slender woman behind the counter asked through her fake smile.

"Can you inform Zatanna she has a member of the House of El here on business?" Harley requested.

The woman looked Xander over. "It's a convincing costume, but Supergirl is the only blonde Kryptonian there is," the woman pointed out, frowning as she tried to figure out if they'd be trouble or not.

Xander leaned forward and twin lances of red light speared her coffee, heating it up.

"Then again I am not an expert on Superheroes," the woman allowed, relaxing as he seemed to be related to Superman. "Would you care to wait at the bar?"

"That would be fine, thanks," Harley said as a man in a tuxedo stepped forward at the woman's gesture.

The two were escorted to a private upscale lounge, which was almost jarringly quiet compared to the main room.

"Swanky," Harley noted as a waiter appeared as soon as they sat down at a table. "Scotch on the rocks."

"Orange juice blended with ice," Xander requested.

"We still need to pick up popcorn, drinks, and snacks," Xander reminded her.

"Can you pop popcorn in bags?" Harley asked. "It's better fresh."

"Easily," Xander replied, "one of the first things I practiced was cooking with psychokinesis and with me you don't end up with uncooked kernels in the bottom of the bag."

"Good, then we can just give our order to the waiter and they'll have it ready for us when we leave," Harley said.

"Huh?"

"It's Vegas," she explained, "if you got the cash they'll get whatever you want."

"I always pictured it as requesting strange and illegal things, not simply skipping out on hitting a corner store," Xander said.

"When you are rich and famous you often can't pop in at a corner store," Harley said, "not without making a scene anyway."

"That makes sense," Xander said.

Harley took a small pad of paper out of her purse and wrote up a list of things before passing it to Xander. "Here, add some stuff."

Xander looked at the list. "No ice cream?"

"Already got it," Harley promised, "also housewares and dishes and such."

"When you guys went shopping earlier," Xander realized.

"Yeah, we just somehow forgot popcorn and drinks," Harley said accepting her drink from the waiter.

Xander accepted his drink and passed the list to the waiter.

"I'll have it ready for your departure," the waiter promised after glancing at it.

Harley handed him two hundred dollars. "Keep the change."

"So, tell me about yourself," Harley said.

"Too many listeners," Xander said, "this place is wired for sound so they can monitor their guests."

"Ahh, the secretive type," she joked.

Xander shrugged. "Information is key to survival."

"But you got all those powers," she said, "like… super everything."

"And I'm super secretive," Xander said with a grin. "I live on a magically protected island for a reason."

"Huh," Harley said surprised, "I thought it was just fulfilling a juvenile fantasy."

"Things can have more than one purpose," Xander assured her.

"Harley and?" Zatanna asked, appearing out of nowhere.

"Ack!" Harley fell off her seat.

Xander laughed. "Perfect pratfall," he complimented her.

"Thanks," Harley said cheerfully as she retook her seat.

"Superguy," Xander said, offering his hand.

Zatanna shook his hand. "I was unaware there was another Kryptonian kicking around, much less one related to superman."

"Yet your reactions say otherwise," Harley said looking her over.

"I think she means she was unaware before she checked with the League," Xander explained.

"Exactly, so what business do you have with me?"

"I have three tuxedos worn by Penn, Teller, and Houdini," Harley explained, "all verified with certificates of authenticity."

Zatanna smiled. "Alright you've got my attention. What is it you want in trade?"

"Supergirl mentioned there were magical fruits, specifically dirigible plums and melody melons," Harley said. "All we need are magical fruit seeds and maybe some instructions on growing, preparing, eating, etc."

"It's difficult to grow them outside a magical environment," Zatanna said, "but I can't see the harm in it. You have a deal."

"Cool" Xander said, pleased things had gone so well. He sighed. "I'm hearing screams from the main drag, if you'll excuse me."

OoOoOoOoOo

Zeus ignored the scrying pool he'd been using to watch Cinemax as he felt the stirring from one of the few beings he'd acknowledge as an equal.

Turning back to the pool he called up a vision of what had stirred Odin from his long sleep. A mortal was empowering an artifact that called on the divinity of the Aesir.

"That won't do at all, it's millennia too early to wake them," he decided reaching out to break the bond to the sleeping pantheon. "Power of Thor?" he mused and then grinned. "I believe a change is in order."

OoOoOoOoOo

Xander slammed his fist down killing another giant lobster. "Where are they coming from?" he asked the air as he scanned his surroundings looking for a portal or an enormous pot of boiling water.

*CRACK*

He spun around in the air and found Harley had just killed a bear sized crab with a large wooden mallet. "Where in the world were you hiding that?" he couldn't help but ask before holding up a hand. "Don't tell me, I don't want to know."

Harley smirked and tossed another twenty to the waiter.

"Whos em eht htap fo eseht serutaerc," Zatanna intoned waving her wand and creating a glowing blue trail behind the massive crustaceans.

"You are dead handy to have around," Harley said, before rushing after Xander who was a blur of motion as he moved people out of danger and crushed the irate sea creatures.

Harley and Zatanna followed the trail, staying just ahead of Xander as he zipped about.

"A seafood restaurant?" Harley asked in disbelief as the glowing blue trail led through a destroyed plate glass window.

"I sense… dimensional magics at play," Zatanna said, as Xander joined them.

"Environmental activists?" Xander guessed.

"I don't see any giant chickens," Harley said with a shrug, causing Zatanna to stare at her in confusion.

Xander scanned the restaurant. "I'm seeing giant tentacles trying to squeeze through a tiny blue hole in the kitchen."

"Then that's our portal," Zatanna said.

A few seconds passed in silence before Zatanna said, "Don't everyone rush in there at once."

"I ain't getting near anything with tentacles," Harley said resolutely.

"What?" Xander asked as he noticed the two staring at him.

"Aren't you going to rush in and save the day?" Harley asked.

"The portal is slowly shrinking and there aren't any people in there," Xander said, "I think the day is fine on its own."

Wonder Woman landed a few feet away. "Zatanna, the police reported an emergency, is everything taken care of?"

"Almost," Zatanna replied.

"Something in the restaurant?" Wonder Woman asked, but as she stepped forward Xander blocked her path.

"The portal is closing, there's no one in there, and the tentacles are being forced to pull back," he quickly explained.

"Yes, let's just keep people away until it's closed then," Wonder Woman agreed.

"Are these things safe to eat?" Harley asked Xander, gesturing to where some people were examining a dead car sized lobster.

Xander turned and examined a couple of them before monitoring the portal once more. "They look normal."

"Tceted nosiop ro esaesid," Zatanna intoned, causing a light green aura to surround one of the bear sized crabs. "They appear fine if oversized."

Harley poked Xander. "Save us a lobster."

Xander nodded. "The portal just has a huge eye looking through it now, but it's only about the size of a large pizza." He blurred for a second and there was suddenly a giant lobster on the sidewalk.

"It should be safe to investigate," Zatanna said, checking with Xander who nodded.

"And with that out of the way, I think I have some cooking to do," Xander said.

"Gonna need a big pot," Harley said, "and we need to go get our stuff from the casino."

"Not going to stick around and find out what caused all this?" Wonder Woman asked.

"An amateur messing with magic," Xander replied. "I'll check with the League later but I'm guessing either some idiot who disagreed with people eating seafood or some idiot who thought he could save some money and get it fresher."

"More than likely," Zatanna agreed as she opened the door and looked inside, ignoring the water that flooded out the door to fill the gutter.

"If you find the spellbook, let me know," Xander said, "I have uses for giant sea life." He hoisted the lobster onto his shoulder.

"You're a magic user?" Zatanna asked stunned.

"It's one of my weaknesses of course I study magic," he replied amused. "Later."

Their waiter was waiting outside with a crate.

"Excellent service here," Harley said with a smile.

"With managements compliments," the waiter said, holding out an envelope. "They were very happy there were no injuries thanks to your fast response."

"I love Vegas," Harley said cheerfully. "By the way, the crabs and lobsters are safe to eat." She slid the envelope into her purse.

The waiter gave a slight bow and hurried to talk to some people inside.

"Now, how should we do this," Xander said. "I know." He set the lobster on the ground and grabbed the crate. "Climb on the lobster," he said, while positioning the claws to hold the crate.

Harley wedged her oversized wooden mallet in one of the claws and sat astride it like a horse. "I can't wait to see how you're going to handle this."

Xander leapt behind her and the lobster started to lift off.

"You're kidding me!" Harley exclaimed.

"Hi Ho Silver, away!" Xander called out as the took to the sky, Harley laughing delightedly.

AN: Only an idiot rushes a portal with tentacles coming out of it.

TN: I must disagree only idiots, or fans of a very specific genre, and considering both Harley and Zatanna were waiting for Xander to rush the portal makes me question their reading habits.

TN2: Oh sure, send me a new chapter for a story I've been looking forward to when I'm trying to be a productive adult, damned thing was taunting me until I gave in and typed it up.
