Hello, again!

First and foremost, don't expect as many updates as my other stories. Got enough of them as is, so this one is more 'If I got an idea for an update, I'll try and put it up.' If you want sex, futas, or seeming lack of public decency, while having semi-constant updates, check out 'Were'mon.' If I manage to get a few chapters done pretty quickly, then you got more to read, but if I don't then tough luck.

Doesn't mean I won't take ideas to help speed things along.

We'll be continuing off from last time, alongside a few details that set up the inevitable clash (Hint: Joker and Doomsday aren't quite over just yet).

Don't own Harry Potter or anything from DC Comics/Studios.

The Final Countdown

XXPreviously, on 'Dark Side of Justice'XX

*"So, what if you were stronger than a planet?" asked Bruce.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up!" declared Harley in shock. "You mean to tell us, you plan on doing something with both it and Superman?!"

"Specifically, if we can use it to revive him..." he explained. "His cells are lying dormant, but incapable of decay. If he was in a conductive field, a boost from the Mother Box-"

"-could bring him back to life." Barry finished.

*"How can you be so sure?!" Diana demanded of her, only to get a reply of, "And how can you be so sure that you're truly an Amazonian princess, let alone a demigod, if you're so afraid of the unknown in the fucking world?!"

Even Johnny was slightly caught off guard from Harley's tone with that statement, but the former criminal wasn't finished.

"Look around you! Do you think any of this, any of us, were capable of existing if any being before us didn't dare venture into the unknown to try and conquer their fear of it! You're a warrior, for crying out loud. Grow a damn backbone before the world loses its own!"

*"Superman was a beacon to the world. But even he is just one man. We're all inspirations in our own ways, Diana. We don't just save people, we make them see their better selves. And yet, I've only heard of you through Morgana and Harley, at least until Luthor lured you out by stealing a picture of your dead boyfriend."

"We all have things in our past that we have trouble moving on from." said Johnny, having finished the call. "But even with the Menagerie helping, it was Superman that was targeted. It was Superman that was struck down. You all especially need your biggest hitter to do something about Steppenwolf."

*"Alright everyone, get ready. We've got only one shot at this. Aquaman, get him into position in the fluid. Cyborg, bring it out. Flash, with me."

As the two walked off a few steps, Morgana explained what Flash needed to do. "Flash, run down this hallway until you can't anymore. Once there, turn around and focus on Cyborg's command. You need to build up enough power so that once Cyborg tells you to, you run and transfer the charge to the Mother Box. However, it has to be done at exactly the moment that it touches, touches, the fluid. Got it?"

He gulped nervously, but nodded and sped off.

She turned back to the others to find Aquaman already in the water with Superman's body, and Cyborg already set up with the Box out and ready.

"I guess Luthor fried the circuits?" Morgana said more than asked, already having learned that was the distinct possibility.

Cyborg nodded. "It won't have enough power to wake the box by itself."

"Then link up to Flash and act as his marker." she told him. "You'll have the best chance of timing it right for his speed to do the trick."

Just then, Flash's voice came through the commlink between them. "This must be the end of the line. So, I'm in position."

"The Mother Box is ready as well. You have to charge it the moment it touches the fluid." Cyborg told him, reiterating what Morgana said.

"5...4...3...2...1..."

XXThe Final CountdownXX

"0."

The moment Cyborg said that, Flash touched the Mother Box as it touched the fluid, and as far as Morgana could tell, electric hell broke loose.

She barely had enough time to put up a barrier to protect them as the electric energy danced everywhere in front of them, forcing Flash back behind them. Next thing any of them knew, debris from above joined the chaos as a whole opened in the roof.

"Outside! Quickly!" She ordered, opening a portal to the outside to make it easier for them. "Harley, where is he?!"

Harley checked and responded. "The memorial!"

Morgana swung her staff, using the wind and earth to boost their speed.

The group quickly arrived at the Superman Memorial and stood in a row, facing a bare-chested Superman who looked at them in confusion.

"His memory is missing." Harley said. "Either that, or currently blocked."

Morgana stepped forward. "I'll try something, but be ready for anything."

Taking tentative steps, she called out to him. "Kal-El? Kal?"

"...You look familiar." he said.

Morgana nodded. "Yes. We were friends before. I'm Morgana, and I onetime gave you an offer of a private space where you didn't have to worry about how others see you."

"Is...that right?" he asked. "Do you know...what happened?"

Morgana turned solemn. "You were attacked. No one expected it. I'm sorry for my part in failing you-"

"Cyborg, what are you doing?!"

Morgana turned around and noticed Cyborg was struggling against his left arm, which was poised like a gun at Superman. "Harley! Bat!"

Harley swung, her block turning into a baseball bat, in an attempt to knock Cyborg's attack off target. In the meantime, Morgana raised a slab of earth to protect herself and Superman. Unfortunately, Harley wasn't fast enough, getting the wall to be impacted by a small rocket. Morgana turned back to Superman, only to see him get upset at the impact. "Kal-El, no!"

He rushed forward, knocking her aside and shattering the wall. Focusing on Cyborg, he fired his heat vision, only to miss and hit a nearby police car that had shown up while they were talking.

Diana then spoke up. "He's confused. He doesn't know who he is."

"No shit." Harley retorted as Superman picked up his statue. "...make that 'Oh, shit!'"

Superman swung, only for his weapon to be demolished by Morgana's own swing.

"Arthur, we need to restrain him." Diana ordered before she and him jumped at Superman, only to be rebuffed by him. Diana then swings her lasso and wraps it around Superman's arm as Morgana tried to lock his body with magic, but for some reason couldn't. "Kal-El, the last son of Krypton. Remember who you are. Tell me who you-"

Morgana noticed that Diana's words seemed to work some, and decided to try a different approach that she was berating herself for not thinking of sooner.

As Diana found herself in his grasp, Aquaman, Cyborg, and Harley attempted to pin him as well. Flash then moved around to Superman's right, while Morgana moved in from the left. She saw him turn to look at Flash, which gave her the opening she needed.

"Legilimens!"

It worked, as she found herself inside Superman's mind, which was similar to what she saw the last time. However, something in his mindscape's Kent Farm was different, as portrayed by the damage to the house and the rough patches in the land. What was even more concerning, though, was the purple lines etched across the place.

If the poison is somehow still active in him, then how come it didn't diminish his strength? She wondered as she moved towards it, only to be stopped by, "Who are you?"

Turning around, she found a young Clark standing there, looking at her. "I'm Morgana, and a friend who can help with those lines that shouldn't be here. It is at least part magical in nature."

"You can help return my memories?" he asked. "The lines are keeping me from them."

"Just try and keep back." she assured him. "I'm not sure just how bad of a reaction this will have."

The boy took a few steps back, and Morgana concentrated on the house in particular. Her magic barely connected before the magic in it struck back forcefully. She recognized the signature straightaway. Gwendolyn! You fucking bitch!

She yelled as she pushed back. "Clark! Get over here!"

The boy quickly joined her. "Even with my powers, Clark, I can only do so much. You might be vulnerable to magic, but is still your mind! Hold onto me and focus!"

He did so, and she felt his mental strength boosting her own. With him there as well, she managed to make enough headway to open the door for Clark. "Quickly! Get in there and find your memories! Your full power should be enough to help me finish the job!"

Nodding, he this time rushed through, with only a minor attempt to stop him before Morgana reasserted her will. Although she was starting to feel a bit of a headache coming from the ordeal due to the struggle.

Thankfully for her, it didn't take too long before Morgana felt Clark's full mental signature again, which allowed her to finally destroy the 'infection.' The last thing she saw as she returned to the real world was the place repairing itself.

Once she returned, she found herself in Harley's arms. She looked around and saw Clark staring at Lois. "That's Batman's big plan? Lois?"

Harley nodded. "Apparently he thought that someone that was truly close to him could help fix him."

Clark then took hold of Lois and flew off. "I'm not too sure it'll be of much help."

Just then, the comms went off. "Morgana! Harley!"

"What is it, Bakura?" asked Morgana.

"The Joker and Doomsday have somehow come back! And they each have a pack of Parademons!" he cried out, getting the two girls eyes to widened drastically. "The Joker's getting close to Gotham, while Doomsday's for some reason in Australia!"

"WHAT?!" they shouted before Morgana relayed orders. "I don't care what it takes, just shut them down! I'm sending Harley to help with Joker!"

Harley grinned maniacally at that, wanting revenge against that monster, before teleporting over to Gotham.

Diana came up and asked, "Morgana, what's wrong?"

"The first wave is here already." she told her. "And the Joker and Doomsday are back from the dead to lead. I need to head to Stonehenge to do something about the Parademons permanently."

"But what about Steppenwolf?" The Flash asked, concerned. But before she could answer, said being came down and took the Mother Box that was accidentally left in the ship.

"Our primary concern is his forces. We'll leave the big guy to you for now."

First off, all things considered, do you really think Gwendolyn wouldn't do something like use Necromancy on Joker or Doomsday?

Secondly, we'll be getting back into the lemony chapters next time.

Until next time. Please let me know what you think.
