Once he finished unpacking, Harry wandered into the hall. Finding those "Inter-dimensional Phones", the Goblins told him about, outside the Lounge of the dorms. They looked like bloody payphones, hadn't seen those in a while.

He closed the door, and as an extra precaution, set up a privacy ward. Picking up the receiver, he was shocked he didn't actually have to dial. As the phone immediately started ringing.

"Hello?" A woman's voice was on the other end... a woman he recognized.

He would never get used to magic.

"Hey... Mum..." Harry acknowledged, still not used to having a mother. Apparently it been 30 years... but no, he still wasn't used to it.

"Harry!" Lily sounded so happy to hear his voice. "How are you sweet heart?"

"I'm good," Harry blushed. "I... I'm at my new school now."

"How is it?" she asked.

"It would have been even better if you told me what I am," He instinctively brought up. "Bad Enough I'm part Time Lord... but apparently I'm an alien monster on top of it."

He heard Lily sigh, "You'd been through too much... I didn't want to burden you further."

"You at least could have told Neville. Aren't you like, his godmother or something? Or hell, even Draco. That Arse is here to. His parents are in Remus bloody pack."

Lily sighed more, "Hogwarts really has gone downhill."

Harry growled, "What's THAT got to do with anything?"

"They failed too teach you how dangerous knowledge is," She informed. "I would have... if I'd been given the chance."

"Guilting me won't work," Harry was adamant.

"I'm not trying to guilt you sweetie," Lily sighed again. "More... feeling sorry for myself. But you're right, your old enough to know now... You're a Tenza Harry."

The eternal teen rolled his eyes. "I know-"

"But you don't understand the implications," Lily cut him off. "Tenza are creatures of energy, literally magical constructs... do you understand how easy it is, to absorb those creatures?"

Harry paused.

"There are rituals, dark magic of the foulest kind," Lily informed. "That will let a magic user absorb a Tenza's power... that's how Voldemort became such a threat. He was quite literally eating babies."

Harry gulped.

"You should have hundreds of siblings, Harry, where do you think they all are?"

Harry felt a chill go down his spine.

"Until your magical core stabilized, you were at risk. Want to take a guess when that happened?"

"11," Harry said, with confidence.

"That's when a Wizard stabilizes," Lily corrected. "Try again."

"... 40..." Harry realized.

"It's why the Goblins make a point of not telling anyone, despite the first Tenza trusting them to look after their children." Lily sighed. "Not even the child, themselves. Nor there parents, it's too easy for that knowledge to fall into the wrong hands... as it did. Before a Tenza's core stabilizes, they are extremely vulnerable.

"Only I'm not..." Harry realized.

"No, you're not," Lily confirmed. "And will never be."

Being Master of Death... prevented him from aging.

Harry gulped.

"You're safe with the Monsters," Lily assured. "They respect the gods too much, to kill one of their children. While permanently, at any rate. And the Yokai... they outright worship you're great Grandfather. So you have nothing to fear there... But its not impossible, the next Dark Lord might realize your condition..."

"And come after me," Harry tightened his fist.

"I'm sorry Harry..." Lily sounded like she was going to cry. "I tried my best to keep you safe-"

"I know," Harry assured. This time interrupting her... "It's not your fault I got kidnapped..."

Harry resisted the urge to sigh, as his mother began to cry.

"You trusted me," Lily sobbed. "All the way back when you were this itty bitty baby. You trusted me too look after you... and you spent ten years in hell."

Harry did his best not to groan, regretting bringing this up. "It wasn't your fault." He repeated. "I know that. Besides, I got back to you, after I got my Hogwarts letter. You did right by me." The boy assured.

"No Harry, I really didn't." Lily insisted. "And if you didn't have that instinctive drive to please me, you'd see that."

Harry looked down, not knowing how to refute that. From what he learned about Tenza, in Hogwarts, it very well could be that. "Regardless of the reason, I don't blame you. It's torchwood that took me. And you did everything you could to get me back... you did get me back... I love you mum."

"I love you too sweetie," Lily pleaded that... as if Harry didn't already know.

He assured her he did. And All too soon he was saying Goodbye.


Hanging up the phone, and picking it up again. He wondered how he could get it to call his wife, only for it to ring.

"Harry!!!" her voice filled his ears... nope, never getting used to magic.

"Hey Cho," Harry smiled, feeling a weight lift.

"No, no,"

Harry frowned.

"I know that overly cheerful tone," Cho reminded. "That's your, 'I made someone cry, come save me," tone. It's your first day. Classes haven't even started yet. How could you possibly-"

"I called Mum before you," Harry informed.

Cho went quiet, then sighed, "That will do it... you really know how to push her buttons."

"I don't mean to..." Harry trailed off.

"I know you don't," Cho reassured. "and I can't imagine what she went through. It was a nightmare when all those Dark Lord wannabes were targeting Albus Junior... I don't know how I would have survived if one of them kidnapped him for ten years."

"... Draco's here," Harry distracted. and Strangely this attempt actually worked.

"You're shitting me," Cho gaped.

"Apparently he's one of my Tenza Brothers." Harry acknowledged.

"That ARSE is a Tenza!!!" Cho froze. "Wait a minute... Does that mean Albus is dating his cousin!!!"

"That's fairly common among wizards," Harry eased.

"I don't care what those inbred purebloods do!" Cho insisted. "I don't want mutant grandbabies!!!"

"Cauldron brewed don't have that problem," Harry assured.

He'd learned about that, when he was given the wizard version of "The Talk". Which included brewed children, for same sex couples, and potions to prevent the downside of inbreeding...

Come to think of it, Cho should have been given that talk to. She was a half blood, after all.

"I'm putting my foot down, Harry James, my son is NOT following the oh so honorable Wizarding Tradition of shagging relatives!!!"

"You know Luna and I were a thing for a while." Harry couldn't help but tease. A little creeped out himself, but Cho's suffering was more important.

"Luna is there to!!!" Cho gaped, "But she's like a year younger then you!!!"

"It takes Tenza over a hundred years to lay all their eggs," Harry cheekily informed... then frowned... "Not looking forward to that," He remembered his creatures were mono gendered... and reproduced asexually. Sure, he could have children the old fashion way... but he'd eventually have Tenza children, the Tenza way... "That's really going to suck..."

"YOU DESERVE IT!!!" Cho insisted. "KNOW MY PAIN!!!"

"It didn't take you a hundred years to pump out our kids," Harry blushed at the thought... Only to throw Cho into a right fit. Yep, Harry had a special way with women. It's why he and Ginny never worked out.


The void is the space between dimensions, were gods of death live along side demons and devils. Where Reapers must travel, to ferry souls to their Shinigami.

However, each universe has their own "Ether", which acts as its skin. A realm of energy, filled with pocket dimensions. Within the Ether, also known as "Subspace", was where the gods, and cosmic beings, meet and mingle.

Each universe operates like a different part of the Cosmos' body. Where the galaxies were organs within that universe. While the planets and stars, were cells. Living creatures, and plants, could be described as "Bacteria". Being either harmful, or helpful, to the body they inhabited.

The Cosmos was a living thing, with each element that made it up, also being a living thing. Like humans and their cells. The Universes that made up the cosmos, where just more aware of the little creatures running around inside them. As the Cosmos was aware of the universes. Caring for them for the same reason a human cares for their own body.

The masses merely worshipped their universe, as "God". But, in truth, it was just as mortal as themselves... merely living a longer life.

The Doctor... was disappointed when he learned this secret of the multiverse. As this effectively meant, his time lords were a kin to a disease. Which destroyed an entire limb, then moved on to the next body part.

So much for their claimed superiority.

His Time Lords, may have settled into this new universe, as it's white blood cells... but that didn't change the fact they were once a virus.

They might call themselves "Q", but they were still the same monsters that destroyed their old universe... killing billions of trillions.

And it was the Doctor's fault.


King Enma Yama... sighed. The mighty Oni stood tallered then any world. The Planet Earth could have fit within his palm. His body was bulky on top of his sheer size. With bright red skin, and large horns.

He stood in the Ether of the Omniva Universe. It's various gods mingling, although occasionally shooting him worried looks. They understood they were on probation, for destroying an Entire Universe.

Although, since they replaced it with a new one, they were given more of a Cosmic wrist slap, in the grand-scheme of things, but they were on notice.

The Doctor was the only one who actually bothered to talk to their interdimensional liaison. Standing beside him, just as tall. After all, height was optional to gods.

The Celestial smiled, handing over a bottle of Ale, a popular brew... among the demons... and deadly to most other things, gods not included.

"Still worrying about your Son?" The Celestial Doctor acknowledged. Starting up a conversation.

King Yama grunted, staring at the Yokai drink, with a look of distaste. Then took a swallow. It wasn't that bad, surprisingly.

King Yama decided to explain, "Within our Cosmos, and the vast multiverse that it contains... I was the first sapient being to ever die. Imagine that. Imagine being born to animals, while containing the mind of a man. I still had the instincts of an animal, but I was clever, creating tools and such, trying to teach my parents and siblings how to use them... but they were too complicated for them. They would get frustrated and attack me...

"There was no such thing as language, yet I thought in more complicated terms then my parents were capable... they never understood me, yet they wanted to, in their own ways...

"I feel as though I'm on the receiving end of that. Being father to a higher evolved creature then myself... yet still trying to comprehend him. I became a god, if only because there was no where to put me, after my death.

"I was eventually used to bring order to the gods of death. I dictate the species, and dimensions, they can harvest from. Even took a Shinigami for my wife... and had... such a beautiful baby boy.

"Koenma is young, but ambitious. He makes me proud. Yet ever since I allowed him to tend over his own worlds, he's been moody, always in such a frantic state... I fear I gave him too much responsibility, too quickly."

The Doctor sipped her drink. "Shinigami, aren't capable of growth, unless they take in souls. I know you fear Koenma growing up, But he needs to. At the same time, he's a little boy, and will stumble as he learns independence and responsibility. You can't baby proof his worlds, and expect him to learn that."

King Yama grunted, not liking how similar that was to his own wife's advice. "Given how young your own son was, when he died, I doubt your the best person to give advice on the matter."

The Doctor glared, "No need to be so cruel. Besides, it was my Counterpart's layline you gifted your Son. I'm entitled to give my two cents. I have that right."

"You're not even a proper god, outside your own dimension."

The Doctor snorted, "Trust me, I'm grateful for that. Out here, at the edge of Subspace, I'm enough of a god to know I don't want to be one. Regardless, You're the one who sought me out."

King Yama eyed, "Perhaps that's why I did. You have... a unique perspective... sorry... for bringing up your son."

"... My tot died... because he wanted to be like me. I'm almost thankful, my counterpart's child, takes more after the master... without the genocide."

"You could always leave this realm?" King Yama gave his own advice. The suggestion feeling strange, coming from him. Given he wasn't usually in favor of interdimensional crossovers. "Move to one where you can live as a mortal."

The Doctor sighed, "I feel a weight of responsibility. It's my fault my old realm was destroyed. This one I've been helping rebuild... I supppose it's penance."

King Yama opened his mouth, but stopped, as his phone began to ring.


"They're at the school," Koenma reported the moment his father answered, not even bothering to say Hello.

He heard his father sigh. No doubt not liking his son's tone. "I know you're not happy with me, but this is for the best."

"Meanwhile," Koenma pointed out. "My worlds are completely defenseless, without my champions."

"You can always pull them out of class, if something comes up."

Koenma blinked, "I can?"

Father groaned, "How unreasonable do you think I am?"

The young death god, couldn't help but blush. He knew he had been at odds with his father, but it wasn't like the man was actively trying to sabotage him.

"Sorry," Koenma blushed.

"I love you Junior," King Yama insisted. "Please don't doubt that."

"I know Dad..." Koenma blushed, before looking around, to make sure no one could overhear him. "I love you to." he admitted. But couldn't help but add, "I just wish you'd trust me."

"I do trust you," King Yama insisted. "It's those friends of yours I doubt, not you. By the fates, a couple of them actively robbed me, and your rewarded them by hiring them."

Koenma flushed, "I stand by that decision... and you know, if you got to know them, maybe you'd see it to... they just needed someone to believe in them."

King Yama sighed, he'd been reading their files. So he knew every thought they had... meaning he had proof that his son was right. Which is why he was sending them to school, instead of Demon world... but he couldn't exactly tell his son, he was doing background checks on his friends.

So instead he distracted, "I'm with the Celestial Doctor right now."

Koenma jumped in his chair, "REALLY!!! Which version?"

"That blonde woman, so fairly soon into her Godhood. I'm only a few billion years into this universe, so everything is still fairly new. I'm overseeing reconstruction."

"awwwww man," Koenma couldn't help but groan. "That means he hasn't met his son yet! You have any idea how hard it was to track down the soul of his son, from his original universe. Then reincarnate the kid, just for him. I really wanted to-"

"I'm sure she'll be crying at your feet, in gratitude. Just be patient," King Yama smiled. Happy to hear the boy sound his age, if only for a few moments.

The Celestial Doctor blinked, "Oi, you talking about me?"

King Yama smiled, "My son's a fan."

The Doctor smirked, "I've got a fan?"

"He's got a gift for you, actually," The old god teased.

With Koenma yelling, "Don't spoil the surprise!!!" on the phone.

King Yama decided a hint would do. "You'll get it around your 42nd regeneration."

The Doctor raised an eyebrow, but she was a young god, and not used to thinking of things on the Cosmic scale. That must seem like a long time, for her. Given she was in her 13th/15th regeneration
