The Fortress of Solitude

Diana was smiling nervously as she walked down the halls of Kal's home, of course he was by her side but that didn't help. She normally felt fine when she was around him, well more than fine because of how he makes her feel like she's the only woman in the world and she feels that she can truly let her guard down with him a romantic sense. Honestly the idea of going on a date with him, like an actual date made her feel happy because she really wanted to be with him. Despite what everyone thought about her, she does enjoy romance, she's just never been with someone she really wanted to be romantic with. Sure, there was Steve but he just didn't have the same effect on her Kal did.

If they did go on a date it would have to be somewhere where they wouldn't be recognized, or at least were cameras wouldn't be able to get to them until they were done. Maybe a small part of Mexico, or the embassy, she trusted the people there not to break her confidence. It's not that she was ashamed of Kal, quite the opposite actually. Diana knew how most people thought of Kal with everything that happened when he attacked the Watch Tower, the incident at the London docks, the defeat of the Injustice League in Metropolis and finally the Washington invasion which he stopped.

The people's reaction was that Kal-El or 'Superman' as the Daley planet put him, was a hero who 'had the balls' to stop threats permanently. The governments of the world were very wary of him but she thinks they're coming around, after all at this point most of them have done what Kal asked and given up there most top secret... secret, the only ones who haven't are the world superpowers, the U.S, Russa and China. As for the hero's, well at the moment the only heroes who seem to be ok with Kal being on this planet is herself, J'onn, Zatanna, Hal and maybe some others, probably Barry too but she didn't want to think about him. Just thinking about his name made her remember everything that's happened with her mother and Donna, she was not ready to face that, that cut was still to fresh.

"This way" Kal said as he stopped in front of a wall but as he took a step forward and the blue crystal wall split in half and moved out of his way. Diana raised an eye brow at him but then she remembered her rule 'when it comes to Kal, just accept it' she said to herself.

Diana walked next to Kal as he stopped and entered a narrow crevasse but when he turned around Diana stood next to him and a wall in front of them closed, it was then she figured out it must be some type of elevator and her suppositions where confirmed when she felt the familiar feeling everyone got when they were going down.

Right now, all she wanted to do was help Kal with his problem, she didn't even want to think about what he said about joining the league. That was another problem interlay, she loved the idea of someone as powerful and knowledgeable as him being on their team, helping the people of this world even more besides just giving them tech. Also working close with him would be nice too.

"Diana" Kal said as he turned his head to look at her closely "I want to let you know that despite how thankful I am that you're here, this still may be a very dangerous situation for you. These creatures may not be swayed by your ability, if that happens you need to leave?" he said with a serous voice.

Diana frowned at his words "but I thought you just wanted me to help you with the H'raka?" she asked.

"no" Kal shook his head "I wanted to thank you for this, so I thought I could thank you by showing you the rest. It's pretty common knowledge that you have a soft spot for wildlife, I thought you might like it" he said shyly.

Diana smiled at his words, and his kindness, she leaned in and gave him a simply and quick kiss on the lips. Nothing full of lust but passion, he smiled back at her before she spoke "I thought you said that there was a chemical that stops the animal's from attacking each other, why wouldn't that stop them from attacking me?" she asked confused.

Kal now turned his whole body to face her and she did the same "this isn't just some chemical that makes them non-violent like you might expect. Myself and Kelex spent a combined total eighteen hour's working on this specific chemical that effects their brains in just the right way, they're not docile. They just know they don't need to kill for food but if they felt someone they don't know is invading their territory..." he spoke.

"They'll attack" she spoke finishing his sentence and train of thought "so why haven't they ever attacked you?" she asked.

"because they know me" he simply said "I've been there for every step of their lives, when they were created, were first fed, took their first steps, went into their new home, they trust me because we're family" he explained and Diana couldn't help but smile slightly at his words, it always surprised Diana how compassionate he was. True, she's only seen him act like that when it was something to do with his home but he can't be blamed for that "who knows, maybe one day, they'll look at you and see family too" he smiled.

This time Diana couldn't hold back a full smile at his words but she winced when sun light hit her eyes but once she adjusted, the smile left her face and was replaced with a look of awe. Taking a step forward to what seemed to be a glass window in front of her, a chuckle, that's all Diana was able to do, she couldn't speak, she couldn't even turn her head to look at Kal who was no doubt smiling at her reaction. In front of her was... she didn't even have the words "it's called the Sanctuary" Kal informed her as he placed a hand on her shoulder

As the elevator made its way done to the ground level Diana had a full few of everything. Right underneath her on the right-hand side was an open grass land with some trees... with silver leaf's in the background, on the left she shook her head at the and the seriality of it. It was like seeing a wall of snow that you could see through and on the other side it looked like an artic mountain range, narrowing his eyes she could have sworn she could see movement on the other side. Knowing that this... Sanctuary was a type of wildlife reserve it must be an environment for different species that live in the cold.

In the distance on the right she just saw water and nothing else, no doubt it was a type of aquarium for fish and further done on the left she saw what looked like tall rocky spires and black dots flying around them, no doubt different types of birds "it's beautiful" she gasped as the elevator made its way to the ground floor with a thud.

The doors opened and Kal stepped out into the open field, he turned and held out his hand for Diana who was still waiting inside. She a deep breath she reached out and grabbed his hand before stepping out onto the silver grass, Kal didn't move on so Diana stayed still next to him. She couldn't help but notice that it seemed colder than it did up at the fortress 'must be for the animal's benefit' she thought to herself.

"RRRRRROOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRR!" came from behind them. Diana quickly turned around and her eye brows shot up at the sight. In front of them a dozen or so meters away, was a large big cat like creature. From Diana's perspective it looked to be six feet tall and around fourteen feet long, four legs that remained Diana of a big cat like a lion or a tiger. But it didn't have fur or scales, its skin looked more like that of an elephant. It opened its mouth and snarled showing its sharp teeth but what made Diana so shocked was when it roared its neck inflated like a puffer fish.

Diana's legs bent ready to dive out of the way in case it charged "Kal, how do I say 'it's ok, calm down'? In kryptonation" She asked.

"Dii fol, kuram erd" he answered as the Nundu eyed Diana before roaring and running towards her. Kal had to give her credit, she didn't even flinch in that face of an animal that could rip her in half.

Diana jogged forward a couple of feet "Dii fol" she said lifting her arms up in a calming gesture "Dii... fol" the Nundu dug it's feet into the ground as it stopped in front of her "kuram erd" she added as the Nundu began to wave the front of its body back & forth and up & down, like a dog that was scared because it knew it was going to the vet "Kuram... erd" she said calmly as the Nundu stopped moving and looked into Diana's eyes, it made a noise that remained Diana of a whining sound "sssshhhh" she added taking a few steps forward placing her hand on the Nundu's forehead before moving in closer putting her head against it.

Kal smiled at the sight, it looked so peaceful and natural how she was acting with it and the way Nundu was acting around her, one of the most powerful land predators in Krypton. He walked forward and stood beside Diana as she began to slowly stroke the Nundu's neck, with the deep breaths the beast took the neck grew and shrunk like someone's stomach as they took deep breaths. The Nundu looked up at Kal and its head tilted at him as Kal reached up behind its ear and gave him a scratch "he's beautiful" she smiled at the creature before the Nundu stepped away from her and walked back to where he came from.

"it's good to know you can reach any animal" Kal smiled as he walked to her side and took her hand in his.

Diana didn't look at him as she squeezed his hand, she's gotten used to physical contact with him and she liked it "I've been meaning to ask" she started "how do you intend to save them? If there's only one of each they can't repopulate, so how do you plan to keep them going?" Diana didn't want to bring up a sore subject for Kal in case it was painful but she wanted to know.

"well, the plan was to wait until they were all fully matured and used to the solar radiation. Then I'm going to take some DNA, bring it into the lab to create a clone" he explained turning to face as Diana listened with great interested "while I do that I will remove Y-chromosome from all the males and remove the X-chromosome from all the females. Within a mouth I could have a fully-grown member of each species who is the opposite sex..."

"giving them a way to reproduce" she said finishing his train of thought "if you did it straight away then the clones would have to go through the same thing the others did, but if you do it now. They'll be born with it. That's clever" she admitted looking around the area "well, let's meet everyone else" she smiled before walking further into the grass towards the trees.

The Watch Tower

Bruce sat at the console monitoring a hurricane that was taking place in Asia, Zatanna, Flush, Atom and Shazam where there helping as much as they could. They were doing a good job, already they helped around a thousand people. It was times like this he felt a great deal of pride, not just of them but the league as a whole. The amount of good they did was nothing short of remarkable, even with one of their most powerful members currently on break. He sighed.

It annoyed Bruce that Diana was taking time off from the league, he knew that if the need was dire she would come but that wasn't the point. Wonder Woman was a symbol to the world, she didn't just save people, she made them see the best parts of themselves. When she disappears the moral drops and when there's tension between two well-known members like Wonder Woman and The Flash, that made things even worse.

Right now, Flash was still being harassed by everyone about how he of all people was able to maintain a relationship with an Amazon, let alone a princess. Bruce was surprised himself when he learnt about it but after that he forgot about it, decided it wouldn't make that much of a difference regard to how Bruce could take him down if he needed to.

Besides Barry wasn't Bruce's main concern at the moment, he had someone else in mind for that. Kal-El, no matter how hard he tried to do it he couldn't just let him go. He needed to find a way to stop him if he turned against humanity, he just didn't understand why some people in the league didn't think they should concerned with him. In the brief time the league has interacted with Kal-El, he as systematically taken down the Watch Tower with a full crew on board as well as half the league, taken down the main players of the Injustice League when they failed too, while doing so showed a fighting prowess that matched his own and Diana's. Told some of the most powerful races known to them to kiss his ass when they first arrived.

Kal-El might just be the most dangerous individual humanity has ever encountered. So, he can't help but ask himself why is everyone listening to him, every country on the planet has done as he requested and it was revealed that due to public demanded. The American, Russian and Chinese governments have agreed to release the most well-kept secrets to the public, he didn't know when but it was going to happen. He sighed once again but he quickly perked up after seeing a message from Alfred, he had finally found it. The green meteorite that powered Metallo, it had hurt Kal-El he had seen it hurt him in the recordings of the battle. Bruce has been looking for another sample of that rock since with no such luck, until now.

The Cafeteria

Barry sighed as he placed his head in his hands 'just another day in the league' he thought to himself as he drank is triple Expreso in a full coffee cup. Thankfully they were able to help a lot of people but not everyone. Honestly, he was starting to worry about the whole hero thing, it was clear that when the child was born he would need to cut back on being the Flash. He would always be there when the city needed him but now there was a change in his priorities, family came first he knew that. He still needed to tell the others that but he assumed they know that, why wouldn't they? looking up he could see the small screen of a T.V that was in the corner of the room. In a flash of light, he turned the volume up and sat back down and listened "and due to constant out right demand, riots and protests. The American, Chinese's and Russian governments have now conceded and have agreed to release the information at the same time which will be at a gala hosted by the United Nations in New York, in three days' time but only if Kal-El attends so themselves as well as the rest of the world can finally know what Kal-El intends to tell them in order to keep his end of the bargain" Barry's eye brows rose at the news, honestly he didn't think they would do it. Shows what he knew, right?

"upon further explanation, they made it clear that the attendance from the Justice League will be mandatory in order to act as a security force against Kal-El should he prove hostile" she said.

Barry couldn't help but chuckle to himself, it's not that he didn't want to think the league could take Kal. It's that he doubted Kal would turn hostile unless in self-defense, and now he had to go to a gala 'oh joy' he thought to himself. He couldn't go, he needed to stay with Donna. Especially after what happened last night with queen Hippolyta.

'last night, Barry and Donna's apartment'

"no" Donna said as Joe placed the take-out bags on the table "they were just leaving"

Hippolyta and Phillipus looked at Donna with a broken face "Donna..." Hippolyta started as she took a step forward but as soon as that step was taken Donna took one back, right up against Joe. Barry quickly went to her side as did Iris.

"mother..." Donna started "leave my home" she spoke in a sad voice as her eyes watered. She hated saying that but she wanted to be with people she trusted and after she ordered Barry's death, she didn't trust her anymore. Sure, she could understand emotions getting the better of someone, that's even happened to her but there's a line you don't cross. It would take more than a surprise visit and an apology to make up for what she tried to do.

Hippolyta didn't say anything after Donna spoke, she just starred at her daughter while she felt her heart being crushed. Not only had she lost Diana but now Donna too. She slowly turned around and headed for the door, Phillipus not far behind. As she opened the door she turned to face Donna "Donna" she started as tears made their way down her cheeks "I'm sorry, for everything" she finished before leaving closing the door behind her.

As the door closed, Donna brought her hand up to her mouth as her eyes began to water. It went without saying everyone was around her in seconds trying to comfort her.

Back at the Cafeteria

Barry was interrupted from the flash back by the presence of Zatanna taking the seat opposite him. Glancing to the side he saw Dinah, Oliver and Hal all getting their own drinks. He turned back to Zatanna who was smirking at him, he knew what was coming at he really wasn't in the mood for it "Sooooooo... how you doing?" she asked with a tease in her voice.

Barry leaned back and sighed with a smile "I'm good Zee. How are you?" he asked back.

"I'm good. How's Donna?" she asked again taking a drink of her coffee.

Barry sighed again looking back down to the table "not great" he admitted.

Zatanna was about tease him again but seeing the sad look on his face stopped her "why? What's going on?"

"family Drama" he said looking back at her "I mean on the one hand I get that Diana and her mother would be upset about what happened but on the other I never thought they would go that far"

Zatanna tilted her head at him in confusion, she had no idea what he was talking about. Sure, she was there when everyone found out about what was going on and she's never seen Diana that pissed off before, expect for that one time that perv of a reporter grabbed her ass at a banquet as he paid for it by Diana putting him in a coma. She opened her mouth to speak but stopped herself when everyone else came over.

"come on Zee" Hal said as he sat next to Barry "I think we've teased him enough. Even if he's planning to marry his way into royalty" he added.

Oliver tilted his head at what was said "wait" he said pointing at Hal with a look of deep thought "if he does marry Donna and when he becomes the sugar daddy of the future prince or princess, that would make him part of the royal family wouldn't it?" he asked the group and even Barry himself was thinking about because I the idea of marry Donna has made its way through his head more than once, especially now with the pregnancy.

"Yeah" Dinah nodded "that would make you a prince, wouldn't it?"

Hal shook his head forgetting about his own joke now and was in the conversation "no, I think it would make him a Duke"

"Wait" Zee said shaking her head "I thought you had to be a Duke to begin with before marrying into a royal family"

"Hang on, I'm googling" Oliver said taking out his phone.

"so, has anyone seen Diana recently" Barry asked trying to change the subject.

Hal chuckled at him "I thought of all people you would want to stay away from her, especially after everything that's happened"

Dinah shook her head "I haven't seen her since she asked for some time off. I guess she just wants to be left alone for a while"

Zee frowned at her briefly before shaking her head "I still think that seems like an overreaction" she said "I mean I get it, it sucks to be lied to but is that really all it takes for one of her strongest members to leave without telling us how long for"

Barry didn't say anything, he knew there was more to it than that but it wasn't his place to tell everyone what happened between her family "got it" Oliver said still looking at his phone "listen to this 'before anyone can marry into the royal family be they a commoner or royal blood from another, it is up to the current head of the family'" he quoted reading from the page on his phone "in this case it's Queen Hippolyta 'to weather said person is worthy or not to enter the family at all, if they do decide to allow them to enter the family they shall be given whatever title the head of the family decides, be it Duke, Prince, King or knight'" he finished reading before looking up at Barry "so you can't marry Donna even if both of you want to unless Queen Hippolyta gives her blessing and after that" he chuckled "she can name you whatever she wants" he finished.

Everyone else nodded at his words not disagreeing with them and much to Barry's pleasure the conversion changed to something unrelated to him.

The Fortress of Solitude – The sanctuary

"Hahahahahaha" Diana couldn't help but laugh as she left the small monkey like creature climb over her body. They've been here for around three hours now and she was not board or tired in the slightest, in fact she could say this has been one of the best days she's had in a very long time. Apparently the small two feet high creature was called a Promuris, and even if it was quite... cheeky as it has grabbed both of her breasts and her behind at least twice now, it couldn't be denied that it was a beautiful creature. As she said it was around a meter tall, with bright blue-green skin, no fur of any kind, orange eyes and it had four arms, well hands. It was hard to describe, it had two arms but at the elbow two more arms sprouted leave the Promuris with four arms and hands.

The number of creatures he amazed her and they were so exotic and beautiful, they make the animals of Themyscira such as Pegasus', cyclopes' and trolls seem downright average and normal.

Kal stood a few feet away with his arms crossed and a smirk over his face as he watched to two interact, much to his relief everyone in the sanctuary took quickly to Diana and she became part of the family. They didn't need to meet every animal in here but he thought that she would enjoy it, and they were already here so they might as well, besides it was fun to see the different reactions the different of the different species to her presence. One's such as the Tetrapteron, Viperwolf and Hexapede where weary and guarded around her but eventually warmed up to her. And one's such as the Occamy, Murtlap, Demiguise and of course the Promuris didn't even think twice before embracing her as one of their own.

"Ok, I think that's enough for now" Kal said as he walked forward towards the two.

"what? No. Please, five more minutes" she asked sounding like a small child as she gave Kal her best... he thought 'puppy dog eyes' was the name.

Kal smiled as he shook his head before stepped next to her, without warning he reached up with his arm and the Promuris didn't hesitate as he climbed on his arm and climbed up until he was sitting on his shoulder calmly, Kal turned around and calmly flew up the branches of a nearby tree. The Promuris climbed up into the tree and proceeded to swing away from to two.

Kal smiled as gently went back to ground to and saw Diana with her arms crossed and pout on her face, Kal just smiled back as he walked over to her and quickly stole a kiss from her. The kiss caught Diana off guard slightly but she to admit it was nice "you know you look beautiful when you're angry" he said. Diana couldn't help it, her pout turned into a small smile as she looked back at him "and in any other circumstance I'd be happy to stay done here with you of hours and hours but I still need your help"

Diana nodded at him "right, of course" she said quickly "how are we going to do this?"

Kal gave her a small smile before looking up "Kelex" he simply said.

Before Diana could ask what was happening a bright blue light took over both of them and she found themselves in another room. She quickly looked around to see where they were, it was a large room made of the same blue crystal as the rest of the fortress but at the far end of the room was an open wall and it seemed to lead outside to the vast environment of the artic. She turned to face Kal and saw the he was looking at something behind her, she turned around and saw what had his attention.

She tilted her head at the large oval in front of her and she knew what it was, the chrysalis. But it was unlike any chrysalis she's seen before, it was huge, had a light blue glow to it and even had some crystals sticking out of it, the same type of crystal's that the building was made from "are you ready for this?" he asked with a nervous voice.

Diana looked at him and was surprised by the way he was acting, but by now she should know that when it comes to his home, his family and the legacy of his people, he lets his façade drop and shows his emotions. Well, when he was alone or with her that he shows his emotions, it made her feel special.

"are you ready?" she asked back knowing full well that he was going to wake it up.

"no" Kal said still looking forward not moving and unflinching. Diana stepped closer to him and took his hand with hers, she interlocked their fingers and gently placed her head on his shoulder "maybe I am now" he added with a slight smile and she couldn't help but beam at him slightly "Kelex, wake him up" he spoke.

Diana looked up as bright light as if shinned from a powerful spot light beamed down from the ceiling and onto the chrysalis, the light faded and Kelex spoke "the antidote has been administered master" he said.

"thank you" Kal said as he let go of Diana's hand and moved forward towards the chrysalis. As gently as he could he grabbed it with both hands and lifted it off the ground, he turned around and carried it out of the large empty room towards the open plains of snow.

"why are you taking it outside?" she asked as she walked at his side.

"I have a feeling that we may need the extra room" he said as the two stepped out, the first thing Diana noticed as she stepped outside was that there was no difference, apart from being outside she didn't feel any different, it was the same temperature, same smell, same everything.

"Kal, why can't I feel the cold? or a draft?" she asked.

They stood a few dozen meters away from the fortress before Kal gently placed the chrysalis down on the Icey, snowy ground "the fortress has several layers of security, as you know" he said and she nodded at him "the first defense is a shield that has a diameter of several miles that creates a dead zone once entered, no radio waves, no magic teleportation, nothing will be able to see what happens within it. The second is another shield the blokes all types of weather leaving us with a nice calm temperature. After that theirs's dozens upon dozens of automated turrets, after that there's a powerful shield that blocks everything" Kal listed.

Again, Diana couldn't help but be surprised by the level of openness he was showing her but when she thought about it, it did make sense. After all she was his... girlfriend? Was she? She did agree she would date him but they haven't gone on one, it was very clear that they were intermit with each other, she's been more intermit with him than anyone else and if what Kal said was true about them one day being life mates, or in her terms husband and wife. It made sense but before she could say anything else the chrysalis shook slightly.

Diana and Kal both took a step back as the sound a muffled roar came from the inside of it "remember" Kal spook as it continued shake side to side "I want to know if it can still act calm around me, so please only step in after that happens or if it can't be down" Diana nodded at him as she continued eye the chrysalis closely.

Kal felt the ground shake slightly before a large claw broke out from it and slammed into the ground causing both him and Diana to wobble slightly and ground beneath it to crack under the pressure the claw brought. The claw itself was completely different from the way it used to look not counting the size. The H'raka's once green/brown skin was now a deep purple and instead of skin it had scales with some type of light blue crystal sticking out in certain areas. Not to mention that the one claw was about the same size of a family truck, the same size the whole H'raka used to be.

Diana didn't know what to expect so she didn't know why she was surprised that she didn't expect this, the claw's sharp nails dug into the ice as it gripped it tighter. The next thing to come where to large dark wings, it was same as the claw the once bug like wings where now purple scaled, with the same crystal but both wings themselves where made of it, it was odd because for an animal to fly with wings, needs the wings to be made of something light so they can move quickly and lift them off the ground.

The head came next and Kal was blown away by what he saw, he now had a long snout, full of sharp long teeth, some stayed in the mouth and some stuck out slightly, his once round eyes turned into a sharp snake like bright blue pair. He had two sharp, strong horns that fell backwards towards his neck. Another large claw made its way out of the chrysalis. Diana and Kal both couldn't help but take a step back, both in fear and caution. They couldn't say, it was a very tense moment as neither knew what to do.

The more it clawed out, the bigger it got. They saw that behind its two large wings he had two smaller ones. Two strong muscular hind legs and finally large tail that housed a large amount sharp blue crystals at the base of it, definitely a type of defense.

"By Rao/Hera" Kal and Diana both said as they looked up at the massive creature in front of them, that was all they could say. The H'raka's head dropped to face the Icey ground, it was taking long deep breath. Like someone would after they just finished running a marathon. Diana couldn't help but feel nervous as she saw Kal take a slow step forward.

He gently lifted himself off the ground and hovered slightly in front of the its large head "H'raka" he spoke in a gentle voice.

It stopped, it didn't move, didn't breathe, it was as if it turned into a statue. Slowly the H'raka lifted its head up and looked at Kal closely. It's mouth slowly parted slightly and it's breathing intensified, what drew Diana's attention was how its large chest began to glow with a bright orange. But before she could even utter a word, the H'raka's mouth opened large and a massive blast of fire erupted from its mouth completely incase Kal in its wave of death.

"KAL!" Diana shouted at the top of her lungs, her eyes widening and her heart stopping. She didn't know who durable Kal was or what he could survive, as she knew she just saw him die. She winced and covered her eyes with her hands as the H'raka roared... or screamed would be a better word as it stood on its hind legs and the wave of fire turned into a powerful white beam.

The moment the fire was replaced she looked to where it was going, all the ground around the area was... melted, it looked a lot the rock and dirt when a meteor or comet hits the ground. It was just a creator and in the middle of it was the unmoving body of Kal-El "KAL!" Diana shouted as she jumped towards him but halfway through the air she caught the sight the beam the H'raka was shooting, within the span of half a second, she was able to bring up her bracelets in order to block the deadly blow but the sheer force of the attack forced her out of the air and back onto the ground, landing on her back. Diana looked up to the edges of the creator, she saw the top half of the H'raka still standing tall of its back legs. The beam from its mouth stopped and his lips sealed before he fell backwards, Diana didn't know what he was doing but based the fact that she couldn't hear anything or feel the ground shake she could take an educated guess and say that he was either unconscious or just resting, either way she had a chance to check on Kal now.

Speaking of...

She turned around and saw the red and blue suit Kal wore, not the full battle suit that included a type of head piece but the calmer less battle worn suit "KAL!" she shouted quickly getting to her feet and leaping towards him. Upon reaching him she immediately saw the chard marks around the suit and the burnt skin around his face "Kal" she said kneeling down next to him and placing a hand on his chest, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she felt the four beats, for a human it would be two but with Kal and his two hearts it was four.

Knowing he was still alive she grabbed both sides of his face and lifted it slightly "Kal, Kal wake up" she said with a face of worry as she continued to look at him closely. Her ears flickered as a sound hit them, looking down to his suit she was taken back by what she saw.

Looking back at Kal's suit, the cloth or the leather or the whatever the hell it was made from, the very material it's self-began to shimmer and distort. Like small waves it began to reform itself and the burn marks began to disappear with each wave until it looked like nothing happened, the suit looked untouched. Deciding not to focus on that now she turned her attention back to his face "Kal, please wake up" she said not knowing what to do, she could take him back inside but she couldn't leave the H'raka to just wonder, gods know what kind of damage it could do if it found a city.

"GGGGGHHHHHH" came from behind her, she quickly spun around and saw the H'raka standing on the edges of the newly formed creator. It's two front claws digging into the edges as it leaned over, his wings slowly rising up and down slightly as he breathed. Diana didn't know what to do, she would try and defend Kal if he attacked again but she didn't want to hurt him too badly if it came to that. He took a large step forward towards the two, his claws digging into the ice as he stepped.

Diana acted on instinct and stood up in front of Kal, made a grab for her sword on her back but then realized that she didn't have it. She came here with Kal directly from that island, her sword and shield were at the embassy. Not knowing what else to do she raised both her fists and stood in a classic boxing stance. It was as if the H'raka didn't even notice she was there. As he got closer and closer Diana couldn't help but feel smaller and smaller but she did notice that he never looked at her. As her whole body was around two meters from his large head, he just moved past her. Since he didn't attack Diana didn't want to start one.

"mmmmmmmmmm" he whined or moaned, Diana didn't know what it was as she stepped back standing on the opposite side of Kal with the H'raka standing in front of his unconscious body, Diana couldn't help but notice as she looked into his eyes, she saw pain, sadness and regret. It's the not the first time she's been able to tell what an animal's thinking "mmmmmmmm" it whined again before gently knocking Kal's leg with his nose trying to wake him up no doubt.

Diana, wasn't going to lie. What she was seeing was both ridiculously sweet and heart breaking at the same time, right in front of her, was one of the most unique, no doubt powerful and intimidating animal she's ever seen, whining and crying over his unconscious master.

Diana and the H'raka' heads where both taken back when Kal's head twitched slightly, the H'raka instantly leaned in towards him as his head rocked side to side. Diana herself stepped closer towards him as the H'raka's deep breaths out his nostrils caused her hair to sway. She looked down and saw Kal slowly raise his left hand, Diana didn't know if Kal meant to do that or not but he reached gently placed it against the H'raka's head just between his nostrils. As soon as it made contact Kal's eyes opened, in an instant Diana was on her knee's right by his side, a hand on his chest and another at the back of his neck "Kal. Are you ok?" she quickly asked lifting him to a sitting position and placing her left hand on his face taking a closer look at his burns.

"that was hot" was all Kal said to her before turning to face the H'raka who was looking at him closely "help me up" Kal said to her as he tried to stand up himself, Diana quickly paced and arm around his waist and helped him to his feet. The H'raka back up slightly as he got to his feet and turned to face him.

Kal turned full body to face him as Diana helped "I don't know for a certainty what you have become" Kal spoke, this time in complete Kryptonation much to the confusion of Diana. He gently placed a hand over Diana's indicating he was ok to walk on his own. She stepped back leaving him on his own, he took a step forward to the large hulking beast, stopping right in front of his eye "but I do know, that you & I and every being of Krypton are here and in this world, together" he leaned in and placed both hands on the H'raka's head without any fear and in a caring manner "and we'll survive this world, together"

The H'raka closed his eyes and rested its body on the ground "Kelex" Kal said out loud "prepare the scanners, we need to know what he's capable of now"

Diana stepped next to him and took his hand in her, without another word she used her spare hand grabbed the far side of his head turning him to face her. she quickly wrapped both her arms around his neck and kissed him, it wasn't quick but as soon as their lips parted hugged him, tightly "you scared me" she said barely above a whisper.

Upon hearing her words, Kal wrapped his arms around her and held her close "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that" he said rested his head atop hers taking in the scent of her hair, looking up he several vanguards flying through the air and heading towards them.

Ok guys, I'm back. I am SO sorry for taking so long but this Chapter was an absolute BITCH to do. I got writers block like three times, I will try to do better.

And I just want to say now, the H'raka is based of a dragon from a well known franchise and I thought just to makes things interesting, the first person to tell me who he's based off will...…. err...…. I don't know, get a shout out or get a say in what happening in the next chapter or something like that.

Any please let me know what you guys think, leave a review or send me a message about anything.

Also, I decided to give you guys an idea of what's happening next because I made you wait so long. That being said the title for the next chapter is going to be 'The Gala' take that however you like.

Now, I will see you all in the next chapter.
