A/N: This isn't quite the traditional response to this challenge. This is both an answer to Bloody Brandy's Vegas Challenge and a continuation of Chapter 55. I haven't been able to make this go anywhere, so I'm shelving the idea for now. Let me know what you think.

Harry Potter groaned in pain.

The throbbing pain in his head felt like someone had shoved a gigantic shunt into his skull and he could feel his heartbeat through his temples.

If there was any one thing he was certain of, as soon as he regained cognizance, he was going to obliterate Sirius Black, his godfather, and the one who'd thought it would be an excellent idea to take his godson, and arguably one of the most powerful people on the planet, to Las Vegas with fake identification.

Then, he was going to find his godfather's best friend, Remus Lupin, and obliterate him as well, since despite being the 'responsible one', the werewolf had not protested the idea. Now that Harry thought about it, the only one of the trio who'd come to the states who'd protested the idea was Harry himself. How exactly they convinced him to go along with their insane plan, Harry vowed to figure out as soon as he had the capability to think straight.

The Potter scion felt extremely weak, as he reached his arm towards the nightstand in search of his glasses so that he could see the alarm clock. His flailing knocked them off the table and onto the floor. He briefly considered using his power ring to either construct himself a pair of glasses, but thought against it. Harry wasn't sure if he could summon up enough will to use his ring for even the simplest of tasks at the moment.

With a groan, he struggled to sit up. His entire body felt like it had taken a beating. The last time he'd felt like that, he'd used his power ring to block Peter Pettigrew's Killing Curse, saving the life of Cedric Diggory. Strangely, despite feeling like he'd been smacked around by a Hungarian Horntail, the Wizard Green Lantern felt strangely content.

Squinting, he managed to find his glasses and slipped them on. He then glanced at the clock noting that it was a little after eleven o'clock in the morning. He rubbed his eyes, trying to wake up fully, fighting against the pain of his throbbing head.

"I'm never drinking again…" Harry said to himself as he stood and moved towards the bathroom. After he'd taken four steps from his bed he noticed several things at once. First, he was no longer in the hotel room he had originally been staying in. Second, the place was completely trashed.

'What the hell did I do…' he mentally asked himself. As data and details began to assimilate into his brain, he realized he was completely naked. He fought down a brief moment of alarm. 'At least I appear to be alone…'

His thought process was interrupted by a thankfully feminine moan from the bed he just vacated.

Harry's complete thought process stopped as he slowly turned his head to see an equally nude, attractive blonde about his age in his bed. He closed his eyes, counting to ten, before slowly opening them again.

'Nope, still there…' Harry thought as he gradually worked up to a panic attack.

The teenage girl, who Harry immediately recognized as Kara Zor-El, gave him a teasing smile as she opened her eyes, rolling over to face him. "As much as I don't mind the view, it's getting cold in this bed."

It felt as if all the air had been let out of his lungs. For a moment, everything seemed to stand still before moving forward at seemingly supersonic speeds. Reacting purely on instinct, Harry did the only thing he could think of- he grabbed the nearest article of clothing to cover him with- which happened to be a short shimmering silver dress he vaguely remembered Kara wearing what he assumed was the night before.

"You weren't nearly that shy last night," Kara said laughingly as she rolled onto her back. She then sighed contentedly, basking in the afterglow of events that Harry wished he remembered. "What a night…"

Despite the pride he felt that he had given her a memorable night, he was still very tense and feeling extremely self-conscious standing in the suite with only her dress to cover his modesty. He fought to think of something to say, but failed miserably in the attempt.

"So… Um… Hi?" he replied nervously.

This only sent Kara into more laughter.

She then sat up, barely bothering to cover herself with the covers on the bed. As she brushed a stray lock of hair out of her face, he noticed something glinting in the light.

It was a ring, an expensive one he'd guessed. However, his eyes widened in realization as he noted that it wasn't just any type of ring, but a WEDDING ring, something he was most certain she didn't have when they'd first met.

He raised his own left hand and saw a matching golden band.

Harry felt as if all the air in his body had been sucked out all at once. "Oh…"

About a million things were running through his head all at once, each one vying for the number one position to be expressed.

With a raised eyebrow Kara asked, "Is that a good 'oh' or a bad 'oh'?"

While he might not know much about women, he could definitely sense there was a certain edge in her voice that signaled that he should be cautious in his answer.

"I… Um… Yeah… So… Wow…" Harry could honestly say he'd never felt so stupid and humiliated in front of a girl before. Kara's laughter wasn't helping any, nor was the fact that he was STILL standing completely naked in the middle of the suite. "I'm just going to be in the loo for a bit."

His cheeks were burning in embarrassment as he turned to continue his way to the bathroom. He felt himself getting even redder when she whistled at the sight of his naked arse. Though he didn't take any extra measures to cover it, he did quicken his steps.

As soon as the door closed behind him, he let out a sigh of relief. He neatly placed the dress on the counter and then used the facilities. As he washed his hands, he splashed water on his face, thinking about the situation he now found himself in- not knowing exactly what he should be thinking or worrying about. He strived to remember just exactly what he'd done in his inebriated state, but all he could picture in his mind was some vague memory about Elvis.

Something in his gut told Harry that particular memory had more to do with the fact that he and Kara had matching gold bands than the fact that he'd apparently rocked her world the night before. Which was a shame because he really wanted to remember THAT part of the evening more than any other.

Shaking his head clear of that particular mental image, he spotted a robe hanging from the bathroom door and promptly slipped it on. Taking a steadying breath, he stepped back into the room.

"Feeling better?" Kara asked him, looking quite concerned.

Sighing, for what seemed to be the hundredth time since he'd awoken not but five minutes prior, he nodded. "Y-Yeah… It's… It's just a lot to take in… I mean… I've never really had a girlfriend nor have I been on an actual date before and… And now I'm married."

"If it helps, I don't have any more experience with the whole dating thing than you do," Kara replied. "I don't always have the greatest control over my powers. I've always been afraid to hurt someone." It was then that the blonde Kryptonian's insecurities came out. "Are you okay with all of this?"

Harry had to think about that for a moment before sitting down on the bed next to Kara. "It's... A lot to deal with, but..."

"But?"

The young Green Lantern smiled. "Yeah, strangely enough, I think... I think I'm okay with this... With us... Let's just take things slow from here." Harry then groaned as he covered his face in his hands. "I can only imagine what Remus and Sirius are going to say."

It was at that moment that he realized that he had no idea where his father's best friends even were.

"Er... You wouldn't happen to know exactly where Sirius or Remus are, do you?" Harry asked hesitantly. "Come to think about it, do you know where we are?"

Kara giggled at that. "We're currently at the Lexor Hotel and Casino. They comped us the penthouse suite after you nearly cleaned out the casino." Kara frowned in thought. "I remember them being at the wedding... But everything after that is a bit of a blur until we got back here."

The pink hue that colored her cheeks made Harry blush. Still, in his opinion at least, it was a good look for her. It was that moment that reaffirmed his initial thoughts when meeting her that she was the most beautiful girl he'd ever met.

Harry sighed. "So..."

"So..." Kara repeated before the two of them met each other's gaze and immediately began laughing for reasons unknown to both of them.

"So... Aside from trying to find my wayward godfather and his friend, is there anything else we should do?" Harry asked his new bride- a concept that was still foreign and surreal to him no matter how comfortable he was becoming with the idea, despite only being 16 years old.

"We're gonna have to find Kal too," Kara replied.

And that's when the other shoe dropped.

Though there was much about the muggle world that Harry was clueless about he HAD kept up with somethings. Though he'd had his ring since he was 8, he was 9 years old when the Age of the Superhero began. It had been quite the shock to find out there were other Green Lanterns on Earth- in fact he was (technically) the second Green Lantern, having received his power ring before Hal Jordan. And even if he and most of his friends were fairly ignorant of the vast majority of superheroes- including the fact that there were other Green Lanterns besides Harry, EVERY muggleborn and muggle aware wizard knew who Superman was.

Despite being both a Green Lantern and a wizard, that was one confrontation he did not relish. Perhaps if he could figure out where Voldemort was...

Kara giggled. "It's not gonna be that bad!"

"You're not the one who has to tell Superman that I married and deflowered his cousin after a night of drunken debauchery," Harry replied ruefully.

Kara laughed hysterically at that comment.

"What about your guardians?" Kara asked after she calmed, though she let out the occasional giggle.

"Sirius is pretty easy to predict," Harry told her. "He'll likely hide his concern alternating between congratulating me for landing such a beautiful woman and bemoaning the fact that I've lost my freedom while making sure this is what I want. Remus, though generally the responsible one, could go either way, but I think he'll support us in the end."

"Generally the responsible one?" Kara asked.

Harry nodded. "I was the only one opposed to coming to Vegas for a mini-vacation of drinking and gambling."

"How did they get you to agree?" Kara inquired. Harry blushed and looked away from his Kryptonian bride. "Alright, spill."

"Uh... Um..." Harry, much to Kara's amusement, seemed to be struggling with what exactly to tell her. His need to be honest with her was warring with his extreme mortification. "I agreed because after Hawkgirl overheard us, she decided that the two of you and Wonder Woman were going to be tagging along. I'm rubbish at meeting new people in general, so I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to get to know you."

Kara's smile only widened at the admission, it was one of the sweetest things she'd ever heard. Thankfully, for Harry's sake, she didn't laugh at him as he wasn't sure his ego could take it at the moment.

"Well... I think you certainly did that," Kara replied playfully. She giggled some more when Harry's face turned even redder from his blush. The blonde leaned forward a bit, careful to not let the sheet fall, exposing her bountiful bust and pulled Harry into a hug. "You have nothing to be embarrassed about."

He really didn't.

Harry was perhaps the most selfless, noble, and innocent person Kara had ever met. Even in his intoxicated state, his biggest concern had been about her, whether or not she was having a good time and what she wanted. When they were consummating their marriage, he'd been gentle with her- it had actually taken a good bit of coaxing from her for him to be rougher with her.

"Thanks," Harry said as he pulled back a bit. He was startled by the strength of the subtle urge to kiss her, but did not fight it as he noticed Kara's sapphire eyes close as she too moved into the kiss. Unfortunately, the moment was soon to be broken.

"Harry!" they heard someone shout as their lips began to touch. Less than a second later the mirror began to vibrate on the nightstand. Harry was less than pleased by the sudden interruption.

Instead of the passion filled kiss leading to possibly more, Kara simply gave Harry a quick peck on the lips. "I guess it's time for us to rejoin the real world."

"Harry!"

"I guess it is..." Harry said with a sigh, grabbing the mirror. "Moony."

"Harry!? Thank Merlin!" Remus said with obvious relief. "Where are you, are you with Sirius?"

That Sirius and Remus weren't with each other was news to Harry. "I'm in the penthouse suite at the Lexor, and as far as I know, Sirius isn't here. I thought he was with you. Where are you anyway?"

Ignoring Harry's question, Remus inquired. "What are you doing at the Lexor? We were staying at the Queen Resort."

"According to Kara, I won it at the casino," Harry replied.

Remus frowned in thought. "Kara...?" He then suddenly looked a bit startled. "Miss Zor-El is with you?"

"That's... A bit of a story..." Harry said nervously. "Where are you so we can meet up? This is something we should talk about face to face."

"I think I can already guess, but I don't have a leg to stand on to lecture you at the moment. The fact that you're safe is good enough for me at the moment. I woke up in the middle of the desert with nothing but my wand and mirror and panicked," Remus replied sheepishly.

Harry grimaced. "Thanks for that mental image, Remus."

Remus blushed. "Sorry, I'm still not myself at the moment. Give me about a half hour or so to apparate back to our room and get dressed. We can meet up and figure out what happened to Sirius and the others."

"It's as good a plan as any," Harry answered with a nod.

"See you then, Harry."

"Moony."

"I guess it's time for us to get ready for the day, huh?" Kara asked with a smirk. She at that moment proceeded to hover over the bed, letting the sheet fall below her, exposing herself to Harry for the first time in his cognizant memory. Kara then flew around Harry, grabbing him by the arm and pulling him towards the bathroom.

It was closer to an hour and a half before Harry and Kara managed to meet up with Remus.

"Still no sign of Sirius?" Harry asked concernedly. Kara gripped his arm in support.

"Not yet, but he may still turn up. I wouldn't worry just yet." Remus replied. "He did something similar the night your parents got married. We had almost thought for sure he'd been captured by Death Eaters until he made a reappearance three days later."

"Somehow I'm not surprised," Harry said with a sigh. After all, Sirius had faked his own death and, with Remus, set up the trip to Vegas. Sirius just hadn't counted on Harry not only being able to get him his freedom, but also an invitation for training from John Stewart, Earth's current primary Green Lantern.

"So I take it you two are an item now," Remus asked with a raised eyebrow.

Harry smiled nervously, as did Kara.

"You could say that..." Harry replied.

"We got married," Kara informed the werewolf, whose jaw dropped in shock.

"Y-You... You what?" Remus stuttered a bit.

"Got married," Harry restated before his tone became a bit more than slightly accusatory and defensive. "I still may not remember all that much, but I do remember enough to know that you and Sirius were there."

"We've decided to try and make it work," Kara added.

Lupin was silent a moment before cutting his eyes towards Kara for a brief moment. "This is a big step, especially since neither of you two hardly know each other."
