"Now that's that I'm talking about!"
Erica turned a smile on her face, "Harry!"
"You know I spotted you in Art History, but I got a bit caught up, or I would've come earlier!"
"Oh I know- I heard, it's all over the locker room!" Erica said laughing then held out her arms. She was replete in a mostly leather outfit, not too out there, more stylish than anything, the skirt quite short though. Showing a truly gorgeous pair of legs, in heels with a leopard print.
"Love the shoes!" Harry said a grin on his face, "From now on you wear a skirt! Wow!" he said then laughed, "Seriously - how do you feel?"
"Pretty good, been getting some weird looks, but apart from that - I feel good about myself for the first time in a long time." She said, then smiled at him. "Thank you! You gave me the confidence to actually try to make myself look better, and I found something that deals with the dreaded spots."
"You look sensational!" Harry said, walking up and pulling her into a hug, "Really - you do." he said backing up and holding her at arm's length, then shaking his head, "I need a cold shower, now!" He said with a chuckle.
"I'm a leg man at heart darling, and not to be indelicate, those are some of the best legs in the entire school, and honestly I say that as a man who notices these things. I know I'm not supposed to objectify like that..."
"Oh no...You go right ahead!" Erica said with a grin, pointing her toes a little.
"Phew" Harry said, then chuckled, "Roll on my house, so I'm not living in a suitcase, then I can take you to dinner, and actually have something to wear. I've had this stupid thing on order a while, luckily it turned up yesterday." he said fingering his suit.
"Oh god no, that is a beautiful man in a beautiful suit!" Erica said with feeling.
"Thanks Luv, from you that means something" Harry said, actually flushing slightly, "Thank you very much." he said, then leaned in and kissed her dangerously close to the lips on her cheek, "Well - I'm off, catch you in class."
"You're actually going to class now?"
Harry laughed, "Oh yes, I was brought to heel on that by Miss Walker. She's quite scary when she wants to be that one."
"And hot..." Erica said leadingly with a grin.
"I hadn't noticed darling" he replied with a grin.
"Sure you didn't" Erica said laughing that wonderful throaty laugh of hers. "Go on, I'll see you later, no doubt you have someone to do."
Harry laughed, and walked off still laughing.
Erica beamed at his back, she adored that man. Sure, she wouldn't be able to tie him down, but she wasn't sure she even cared to. She'd told the truth about her uncle. He was a man with several women in a circle around him.
Not religiously so, but because it suited them to live like it. Most of their kids didn't even know who their mother was; just all of the women were mom. She used to spend a lot of time there, until her 'White Sheep' of the family put his foot down. But frankly now she was basically an adult she was thinking of defying that order.
She'd adored her uncle and his huge family, and now she'd met a man that was like him only ten million times more charismatic and had a sense of power to him that the suit of his only distilled into clothing.
No, she liked Harry a LOT! But she wasn't going to attempt to tie him down. It wasn't even worth the fight! To do so would be to change the man that she frankly adored and was already starting to fall for.
Harry had seen something in her no one else bothered to see. Now it was coming out others were taking an interest all of a sudden. But it was too late! She had her eye on a much better prospect, and dear god from the comments and the fact Sandy was STILL limping even now she was going to enjoy it when she did finally spread wide and love every single second of it.
The fact that he had actually been getting hot under the collar while looking at her. It might not be very PC, but that really did it for her confidence. He wanted her, and she wanted him. He was going to get her, but first, she wanted to make sure he was as real as she suspected he really was.

Harry eyed the building site, with annoyance.
He'd paid a LOT of money to rush this project and he was getting increasingly impatient to have it done. Therefore, he was doing something his Bro, Tony, had taught him. If you have a problem you hit it over the head with a bag of money until it goes away. This is what he'd done.
He'd essentially thrown money at this project until the Spenser's had been forced to sub-contract to multiple companies just to keep up with his demands. The house was now starting to take shape.
It wasn't, however, just to date Erica. It was something he more and more wanted to have now. He wanted a home; he wanted something that was his from the ground up, well below it actually.
His entire life he'd been forced to live in others homes, even Hogwarts Castle wasn't his, even though it was the most like home he'd gotten to know. Tempe's flat, that had been home for a while and fitted in with his personal tastes and it had Tempe in it, which was even better. But it wasn't his, personally.
This would be entirely his, from design and up. He had a lot of special designs going into this building that would actually be about three times the size of the mansion like house that had been here. He'd had that torn down, the materials used in construction of some of the basement areas, of which there were actually a HELL lot. They alone looked older looking, everything else was in space age materials that alone cost a fortune but would make the entire house bomb proof and would probably still be standing after a direct hit from a Nuke. Scorched but standing.
Those materials alone were making things slower than he would like. But his home had to be above all else, SAFE. He was also going to personally install a special building AI like Jarvis here.
He'd finally been allowed into Javis' base code just before leaving, something that had touched him. Jarvis had been watching him, and then by his own back had decided to trust Harry. So yes, he'd been touched by that, and enthusive in his thanks and praise to Jarvis himself.
So he knew what to do to perhaps bring his house to life. In fact he had a few ideas and bits and piece of technological knowledge thanks to his sponsor to perhaps literally breathe life into this building.
It would be sentient, a living being, and his partner in security and a home. He would be sure to befriend the entity and make sure that it was at the very least someone he could trust with his all.
He would after all be entrusting not only himself but anyone that visited his home to a living house. He wasn't an idiot, if he was going to have a Turing capable AI, he would install the laws into its base code. Anything he did extra would use this code as a framework for its life, and thus those laws would be a part of its ... DNA for want of a better word.
Also he would FINALLY be able to start work on the project both He and his sponsor wanted him to work on. Computers were hitting a plateau now, transistor to chip size and all that, and it was time to break the mould.
He knew how to do it. He just had to make it from the ground up and create the proof of concept and make it so he owned the design patents and actually everything to do with the design, to ensure it wasn't misused. He wasn't doing all this just to make a bigger stick for humanity to hit itself with. He was doing this to create a step ladder to the heavens and humanities evolution.
He had been gifted with an exceptional intelligence. Something he was STILL hiding to a very large extent. Sure he was collecting degrees like confetti, but he required those to be taken seriously in business.
'MIT' loved him and other colleges with distance learning were learning his name. He had so many titles and letters in official documentation he looked like a listing of alphabet agencies in the entire world.
He was doing this to be taken seriously, but also to break up the boredom. His intelligence had slowly been growing as his sponsor released increasing levels to him. He was by FAR more intelligent now than anyone on the face of the planet, all to make him much more important to his sponsor. He also knew things that not even Tony knew.
He had access to the universe now. A big creature full of love for its inhabitants. He was one of the very few beings in the entire universe capable of communicating with this absolutely incredible creature. Even knowing a universe was a living breathing thing was rare knowledge in the entire cosmos.
He wasn't even one that should have the knowledge. He was NOT really a higher being, he was not a creationist, and he wasn't even slightly a god, most of whom had no idea anyway. He was becoming something else, something deeply and intensely more powerful than anything seen - ever before, anywhere in the entirety of Versalial.
He felt this responsibility deeply. And while he was slowly being granted more and more levels of that responsibility he was constantly learning from the universe. Learning her moods, learning her sense of humour and generally making friends with a wise and powerful being that empowered just about all forms of life that had any notion of true power.
Although, he didn't actually get his source of power from her. That alone make him entirely unique and all the more precious to the universe oddly enough.
His source of power was a part not of a universe, a creation, or anything other than a truly Versalial force. Things were changing in Versalial and a real force of the Versalial had taken note and decided it was time to create something of their own.
Harry was that thing, and pissing around with school girls was the only thing he was allowed to do currently.
This home, that was a step on the important stairs to helping humanity, but also those other special beings being created out there in Versalial. Some of whom he knew intimately already, some of whom were HIM.
He wasn't allowed to contact them...he could anyway; he was not constrained in that regard. He'd just been asked not to. Why would he deny them anything when he was being shown a staggering amount of trust that made him feel so tiny in comparison to that responsibility?
The beings would eventually need guidance, they would need help, and they may even in times to come require a safe haven.
It was up to him to provide that, and if all else failed and they really got in the shit. He was there to help out. Just as he couldn't immediately solve all his worlds problems he wasn't allowed to do theirs either.
It was a growth thing, just as that final lesson had caused immeasurable pain to him, then some of theirs would hurt them as well. It may well even destroy some of them. He wasn't allowed to interfere directly like that, but he was allowed to help any way he could, up-to taking over and solving their issue forthem.
This was the same as his home planet. He was gleefully allowed access to higher forms of knowledge to help humanity along, after all they were his species, and he was allowed to do that and more. But if he just took over and did it all for humans - they would waste away and he'd eventually be alone.
For that was another thing he'd found out recently.
He wasn't just immortal. He was eternal now. He could NOT actually die. Sure he could be trapped, he could have his body destroyed, but he wouldn't perish even if he was there for a reset, something that happened every hundred billion, to a trillion, years or so. He was now an agent of Versalial, and it wasn't done with him just yet and wouldn't be- perhaps ever.
That said, he was being told he was allowed to create a family, harem was a word being knocked around by the universe to take the piss out of him. But not only women, but those he cared for, he would be allowed, at their choice to let them live as long as he did.
He was being counselled to be very careful who he chose.
The Beholder that created this universe herself was unique because she had NOT been careful in her choices. He was due to meet her relatively soon, but when you're talking about a creature that measures their live by Universal Resets, well, soon could be a very long time away in human terms.
"Count," Mrs Spenser said walking up to him, a smile on her face. "We're doing well don't you think?"
Harry smiled at her, "Yes - it's going well. Now what can we do to speed it up, do you think?"
"Honestly to speed things up we need more bodies on the ground, and space is always going to be an issue, eventually."
"Get them, I'll pay them, and you, handsomely if this is finished in a week."
"A Week!" she gasped, "I'm not sure that's even possible."
"Oh - but it can be! I've had an idea, why don't you and your husband have a working dinner with me tonight and I'll show you what I have in mind. You could take these techniques and run with them and I'll grant you the rights to make them saleable. This could make you the most efficient building team in the entire country."
"Oh yes!" she said a gleam in her eyes and a bright smile. She'd spoken to her husband about this young man, shown him that plan's the first night. Apparently the fact the lines were geometrically perfect with no rule or anything else was a sign of genius.
If he was talking about creating techniques and then letting them use them...she was all for it. They would be So rich for doing this job it would be insane. Already they were exceedingly well off because of the money he was throwing at them.
There had been a very strongly worded warning about cutting corners they had very much taken to heart. The young man was scary when he looked at you with those beautiful eyes of his flatly.
"Good, good, I hear there is a good Italian in town. Do you know the name?"
"I'll make the arrangements, if you wouldn't mind. I am, actually on good terms with the owner and his family. I can get us a very good table."
"Okay then" Harry said agreeably, "You do that, then call me with the details."
"I will" Mrs Spenser said rushing off to do just that.

Harry smiled slightly.
He'd just left two very happy people.
John and Andrea Spenser were pretty okay people, and he saw no problem with giving them a leg up in the world. He hadn't thought much of their son on the other hand, who they had brought along. He seemed like a little prick to Harry. But he wasn't about to ignore the fact that his parents were good people because their son was an arse.
He'd given the details of how to improve their workflow and the construction ideas he'd come up with and the techniques for working with the Hyper-modern materials they had to use for his construction job. They'd been overjoyed. John Spenser was a bright man, good at his job, an architect and a builder rolled into one who immediately saw the opportunities inherent in Harry's ideas and was quick to take him up on the offer of letting them use his techniques for a small royalty charge.
These ideas of Harry's, if they worked, and he was sure they would, would make the Spenser family very rich and ahead of the game in the building industry for some time to come.
It was just a shame their son was a prick.
Harry decided to walk to the hotel, it was just through the warehouse district and that wasn't far from here. The restaurant itself was perfect for his date, at least the first one, with Erica, and he'd purposefully set out to make friends with the owners there.
He'd had an in because the Spenser family were fairly close to the Giorgio one so he'd made use of that connection to forge one of his own, even booking ahead of time for sometime next week.
The town was quiet, not much traffic, and he walked at a fast clip, but within human norms. He wasn't really in a rush.
His upgrades came with the decreased need for sleep, and he had an energy level that night he was at a loss to explain. Frankly he knew what he wanted to do to burn off that energy, but he didn't have that sort of relationship here with anyone.
Tempe, he would've just gone around her place and they would have fucked across the entire flat until he and she were sated, which usually took the entire night. Their sexual compatibility was never in question, as had been proven to him once again when she'd come down to 'Thank' him.
He was now getting regular reports on her progress, and since he owned the studio she worked for, well... he kept an eye on her. He adored that woman, while still very aware of the pain she had caused.
But he still missed that relationship, as well as the woman he'd had it with. He could do with that sort of thing locally. He had little doubt that if she wasn't working he could go up to L.A. and get a little action with her. But that was fraught with dangers lately, she seemed to want something from him he wasn't sure he had the heart to give her just yet. It was unfinished business for sure. But he was content to leave it as being that, right now.
No, he needed that sort of relationship, and local would be good. But it took a special sort of woman to actually want to do that sort of thing and he was somewhat choosy anyway.
If he was going to do that, he would want a woman he went for in a big way. Erica certainly came to mind and having now seen her dressed up a bit he was exceedingly keen to see her hemline drop - right to the floor. The heels would have to stay of course. Still - he had a feeling she'd be up for it, but right now she still wasn't sure of him. He could wait, but right now he had a massive itch he needed to scratch.
Out of the blue, a loud reverberating gun shot went off nearby!
He'd just entered the warehouse district and it echoed off tall walls and metal buildings. Then a moment and finally a rattle of a machine gun, a rather distinctive sound. So, he took to his heels. He almost left an after image of himself he moved so fast.
Then he came to a rather abrupt stop.
There looking about as sexy as it was possible to look was a gorgeous blonde. She was in tight denim, a loose jacket, a machine gun in one hand still smoking and a bashed up jeep beside her.
"COME AT ME!" she called into the night.
Harry tilted his head, scanning the nearby area, feeling what had to be the Alpha he had a bone to pick, but also the familiar feel of Derek. Both were moving away at a hell of a pace though. So hers was a wasted effort.
This, though, was a woman he wanted to get to know better. She was a bit of a stunner, something oddly familiar about her though. But at the same time she had an edge about her that screamed total freak to Harry. He did so LOVE a freak in bed, and this was one, he was sure. He just KNEW the same way that Tempe knew, like could sense like after all.
He decided that despite the danger inherent, he had to make an introduction.
He stepped out of the shadows, his eyes catching the light, and drawing her eyes to him.
"You know - it may be all the horror movies I've been watching. But there is something very sexy about a woman toting a machine gun." He said by way of introduction.
Slightly crazy looked out of her eyes; making him pause for a moment, then carry on walking towards her.
The gun met her shoulder, and she cocked her hip, "You think I'm sexy?" she asked, a throaty quality to her voice that made it very sexy.
"Oh - I sure do!" Harry said with a smile. "I'm Harry," he said, "But you can call me anything you damn well please, just as long as you call me"
She laughed, "That's a BAD old line."
"I find my mouth is not as erudite as normal right now in face of such a sexy woman as you. Not only that but you're also exceptionally beautiful."
"Charmer huh?" she said, licking her lips slowly and running her eyes up and down his currently still suited form. It actually helped his effort here as he looked a good deal older dressed like that.
He just hadn't bothered to get changed, and given the reaction from just about everyone he was thinking of shifting to a suit all the time. For one thing he needed it in his image. For another those girls he'd spent time with that day had been unusually enthusiastic about it. Including Erica's comment that had really caught him off guard.
Even now, he really didn't realize that his looks had become movie star quality. His constant work out regime since Dud had started him on it, had made him insanely hard. And the suit was cut to him in such a way that he looked tall, built and altogether very handsome.
To say he was making an impression on his intended target wasn't just mild, it didn't touch on the fact she was actually getting rather damp at the sight of him. Usually she went for a rougher edge, but for this man, she liked the suit.
"My brother is due soon," she said, "Which is a great shame" she added, "Because I'd LOVE to break the suspension on my car with you."
"Well, you're right that is a shame, but I'm not sure about a car - there is a nice handy wall here after all."
"Strong enough to hold me up are you?"
"I'd hold you nice and tight; after all, for what I want to do to you well, your knees may get weak."
She laughed throatily, "You think you're that good."
"No" he said, "But I'd die trying, and I think I'm good enough to at least make you scream."
"Scream huh? That's a tall order, and I have to admit, I'm curious to know if you really can."
"Shame your brother is coming. So how about this - you give me your number and we'll find out together as soon as we can?"
She smiled, "Alright," she said walking up to him, and she fished in her tight jeans pocket for her cell, and then toyed with it before turning it to him, "Names Kate"
"Heya Kate, I'm Harry, and I've got it"
"You gonna remember that?" she asked when he made no move to pull out his own mobile.
"Already have, that's a far too precious thing to ever forget." he said, "After all, we've both got a burning curiosity now."
She looked at him for a long moment, then reached out with the non gun hand, grabbed a handful of his suit and pulled him in and kissed him lustily.
She found herself wrapped in very strong arms, pulled tight against a hard body and kissed like she'd never quite been kissed in her life. It was hot, lusty and truly incredible.
Kate knew a lot from that kiss, she knew this was no blushing virgin and she knew she was due a VERY good time with him. That was practiced, it was passionate and it made her moan in the back of her throat and get well and truly stuck in.
Bright powerful head beams bathed them both, and then were switched off, accompanied by the grumbling of an idlying engine.
"Oh god" a male voice said. "I can't take you anywhere. Look mister; my sister and I have something to deal with - get her number and leave if you would."
Harry broke the kiss, looking into blue eyes from an inch away his bewitchingly back lit for a moment, "Already have - see you Kate." he said smiling.
"Too damn right you will. Do NOT lose that number!"
"Indelible in my mind" he said, "You just sealed it with a kiss after all."
She laughed and pushed him away, "Go now, before my brother see's something he will truly regret seeing."
Harry laughed, and then walked away casually.
"I thought you were being attacked." Chris Argent said walking up, "And not by way of the mouth."
"Oh he just happened by, said something about women being sexy with guns."
"You know - he looks strangely familiar!" Chris said, "What was his name? You did, get a name at least, you know for a change?"
"Harry, he said his name was Harry."
"Allison knows a Harry..." Chris said slowly.
Kate looked at him, "Nah" she said.
"Nah" he agreed, "No one in high school can afford a suit like that."
They looked at each other, "NAH" they said, and then went back to their business.

"Harry!" Allison called out to the once again suited young heart throb of her dreams.
Scott had just landed something in her lap that suited her down to the ground. It was underhanded, it was sneaky and she suspected that Harry would eventually appreciate it.
She'd decided thanks to this serendipitous event that she would push forward on her attack on his heart.
She had made all the decisions she was going to about her place in his life. She had decided that while she wasn't going to tie him down, exactly, she WOULD own something he didn't give out to any of his partners.
His heart…It and he would be hers, and she would be worthy of it.
Someone, and she suspected Tempe of this, had hurt him badly. She knew his heart was guarded and it was going to take a miracle to get him to allow her in.
But Scott had just asked for her help. Last night someone, and she thought maybe her aunt, had shot Derek with some sort of round that was making him deathly ill. She needed to find out what it was. So Scott's boss, who was far more than he appeared, could make Derek better.
To do that, she needed a distraction, and she knew what would do it. For one her aunt was a bit of a 'Ho on the QT, well not that quiet, and just having Harry around would distract her. Her father, if she got Harry to agree to this, would be grilling her new boyfriend like crazy. Her mother would be watching the entire thing, leaving her to leave Harry to the firing squad and find out what it the round was.
To do this, she needed Harry to play along, and to do that, he would have to act the part. She also needed to make a reason for this to be ongoing for a while so she could quite literally show Harry that she was the one for him.
This was full of pitfalls and she knew it. The biggest stumbling block was to first get Harry to agree when he still felt that Allison didn't much like him.
The gorgeous green eyed man turned at her voice and smiled, "Hey" he said walking up to her. "What can I do for you? Is it about your family." he said giving her the perfect in.
"Yeah, sorta. I need your help, and this might be an ongoing thing. But its gonna sound really weird, but hear me out alright," she said.
"Okay" Harry said allowing himself to be dragged, oddly enough into the Art History classroom again. "Go on then, state your case."
"I need you to be my boyfriend, just pretend! But for a while." she said rushing it out there. "I know that sounds insane, but it's for a few reasons, and the most immediate of which, is that Derek was shot last night, with something bad."
Harry nodded; he suspected the blonde had done it, Kate.
"I think my aunt did it"
His eyes went wide, and then he quickly hid the look. Luckily Allison completely missed this. "So I need a BIG distraction tonight to look for what it was, so we can heal Derek, who is actually dying here!"
"Right and I need to be your boyfriend, for why?"
"I think you're going to make quite the impression. Plus I've just broken up with Scott, and they're going to want to know why I'm going out with you so fast, and you're not afraid of anything and certainly not my dad."
Harry smirked, "No - I think you're right there," he said dryly, "I have a feeling he won't like me much. But we're going to have to say this started today...trust me on this."
"Urh...okay, that's fine, better I suppose. Can you come to dinner tonight?"
"Okay; and the ongoing thing?"
"Urh - well I need to keep my father distracted from me for a while, and this leads into something else I was going to ask for, and I know this is all a lot to ask..." she said, looking at him beseechingly.
"Go on...if I can help I will" Harry said.
She blessed him with a bright smile, making his heart melt a little. Of course this was going to be tricky and the only reason he was doing this after last night is because that would make him one HELL of a distraction to help Derek.
"I need to find out what my grandfather is doing. From the report you got, he's ruining the family and our reputation. To do that, I need to call on your contacts, and maybe make a few of my own, with your help. I've got a few ideas on that, and frankly I'm starting to think you're very right about taking up my rightful place in the family."
"Good!" Harry said firmly, "Now...how are we going to do this?"
She smiled at him in such a way he knew he was going to say yes to something he likely didn't want to do.
