Jezrianna: 1)Since not all powers of his work in all times and places, it refers to what ever he can make work at the time. 2)Guess I didn't describe it really well, it's sort of a feeling, the hair on your neck prickling in the direction you need to go. 3)Again failure to describe on my part. He's got to be touching what ever it is. 4) It meant the powers he mentioned in the earlier chapter in the hospital. 5)That was why the change in the air, when he changed the nature of the shield. 6)Actually, he was going to make Adam do that, but she got to him first. It's sort of an older brother thing. I fully intend to sit on the front porch, cleaning firearms any time my younger sister brings home a date. One always wants to make a good first impression. As for Flash, I just wanted him to be nervous. Considering she's several times stronger than he is, wouldn't you be nervous, not knowing how what you've said affected her? Not to mention that running away would be a sign of guilt? 7)Yes, not quite parallel, but alternate. Theory is there are multiple multiverses, each containing it's own set of alternate dimensions. This theory puts parallel's in a separate multiverse, allowing for infinite possiblities. Yes, he is one of many possible Adam's, but he holds the knowledge of all of them together. Each Adam, can access the knowledge of all the others, unrestricted by any barriers, or blockades put up to protect against outside intruders. 8)An altered perception spell. He made them percieve the wall differently, bypassing their defenses against such things, by changing the nature of the perception the wall gave. Had they cut through the spell with magic of their own, they'd have seen the wall, but that wouldn't have served my purpose.
Plus, coffee might help.
Here's the final chapter.

There came a thud, as I kicked over the remains of the door to my closet. Supergirl, no, Kara when she was out of costume, flashed me a disgusted glare.
"Sorry. I couldn't resist." I shrugged. She rolled her eyes, and pushed a rock out of the way. I simply decided it was better not to mention that rock weighed probably half a ton. She bent over, and lifted a CD case from the ground. She handed it to me. "I wondered where that went." It was a game CD I'd lost. She shook her head.
"That's it, the only thing to survive." She muttered. A mental sweep of my own confirmed it. "So, now what?" She asked.
"Well, I've got quarters on the Watchtower, and Flash has offered me a place to stay, but for the moment, I'm torn." I smiled. "Whether to get a house, or another apartment. No matter what I choose, I need some clothes." I sighed.
"Why chose? My eighteenth birthday is tomorrow, and then we can go on vacation, to a tropical island. They won't find us, until we let them." She grinned, and kissed me on the cheek.
"Well, since you put it that way, how can I resist?" She grinned.
"The idea is, that you can't." She grinned.

The party was rather simple, held on the Kent family farm, with the entire Justice league crew invited. Batman, deciding that even with normal human crews remaining there to monitor the world the entire league shouldn't be away, volunteered to stay. Most of the league was simply convinced that he wasn't a party person. Adam was convinced the Bat had ulterior motives. Never the less the party went off without a hitch. Everyone was having a good time. Zatanna was, with occasional assistance from Dr. Fate, and Adam, providing entertainment for the party. Flash and Green Arrow were competing for attention from the unattached female members of the league. Unfortunately, none of said members were co-operating, much to the amusement of just about everyone. The party lasted most of the day, without word one from Batman. About seven-thirty, it was finally time to present gifts. Random drawing, put Wonderwoman first, and she apologized, since she had to give Batman's gift as well. Rather unsurprisingly, an envelope full of cash. Wonderwoman's gift was more practical. Sort of. A long sword, forged with a solid gold handle. She explained it away, as a debt owed from Hepheastus, and a shrug. Superman gave her a spare uniform. The look in her eyes was one not of thanks, but of promised revenge. He simply grinned. Flash gave her a box of chocolate. Singular, not plural. She simply burst out laughing as she thanked him. J'onn gave her what he called a trance box. It produced a specific combination of sounds and sights, that would utterly relax the mind and body. Since it was determined by the user, what exactly those images, and sounds were, it would work just as well for her, as for him. Lantern gave her a silver necklace, with the image of the planet Argo engraved on it. Zatanna, Fate, and Etrigan, had gone in together, and created a gift for her. Twin silver rings, which they called living lightning.
"While wearing them, lightning will jump at your command. Tell it to strike, it will strike. It will do what ever you tell it to." Zatanna grinned.
"They're beautiful, thank you all."
Adam ended up last. He was hanging his head as he approached, and every eye was on him. "I don't really know you that well, and so wasn't quite sure what to get you. But now, I'm positive." He lifted his hands. The league magicians stared in awe, as mist, and smoke slid into his hands, swirling around. All of them could feel the energy dancing through the air, as could many of the other members. Then fire danced down the middle of the aisle between the members, racing from the south. Wind came from the west, and lighting struck from the north. Water danced up across the ground from the east and Adam let go, as a rock spear slammed up through the ground, driving into, and through the mist. Then they all vanished, and he caught the mist. Then it cleared. A clear orb, as if made of flawless glass appeared in his hands. "A light orb." He held it up to her. "Emotionally fueled and controlled, it counter acts what ever you're feeling. If you are saddened, it shows you what will make you happy again. Angry? It will calm you. But, it counters all emotions, including happiness, and love. Thankfully, it must be activated." Adam bowed slightly as he handed it over.
"Wow." She replied, grinning. Most of the guests would at that moment, have agreed that Adam stole the spotlight. Then the Kents with help from Superman, who had revealed himself to the assembled super heroes as Clark Kent, brought out the roasts. Not pigs, but entire roast cows, as well as a bowl of salad, big enough to fill every appetite there. Between them, Adam and Flash ate the better part of a cow. The party broke up shortly after nine o' clock. Adam was the last guest to leave, since Superman was staying the night.
"Well my dear, it appears your party was an unequivocal success." Adam congratulated Kara. She smiled.
"Thank you. You and Zatanna, and Dr. Fate helped, that entertainment was fabulous." She shrugged.
"But even the three of us couldn't have gotten the entire league to come." Adam threw his head back in a laugh. "Only you my dear. Now, as for that present I gave you? That was only because I couldn't do this with Clark watching." And he kissed her. It was not a chaste, or friendly kiss. She kissed him back, just as fiercely. Almost a full minute later, when he broke the kiss, she simply stared dumbfounded at him. "Have a good night. Tomorrow, is another day." He grinned, and turned away.
"Hey... Aren't we going to a tropical island?" She called.
"Yes, but we should see the rest of the world first." He replied. "Besides, we should save the best for last." He bowed, and vanished, as J'onn transported him up to the watch tower.
Fin.
