ANTI REAPER: Dude... we know. That is the fucking joke.
God of the Challenge: No you haven't, but also that is a fact of... no. I have seen the same Ink Tank video I KNOW you got this fact from.
And this is one of the few points they got wrong. Because Speedster's do not HAVE a MetaGene, which would make them potentially scannable. They are human and are connected on a spirital and time/space/mumbojumo way to the Speed Force. Mutant's from X-Men? Yep, totally! Quicksilver, yep! Any Speedster from the DCU? No.
R. Vital: Oh, just wait for it.
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Oh HELL yeah! Prepare for some real fun!
B.E.A.T.N: Oh, we are adopting something BIG from the comics.
Here are some reviews answered by Ghost:
B.E.A.T.N: Yeah, all the things are happening right now. It's going to kick off at the wedding.
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: You're not the only one excited for this next chapter.
R. Vital: Let the psychotics with Luthor begin.
ANTI REAPER: Well, karma's going to bite people in the ass.

James' Harem 2
Chapter 66
Preparing for the Markovian Wedding
Markovia, a jewel of a city. A mountainous region resting behind its castle, a port town close by to welcome ships, farmlands on the outer region. A bustling European kingdom, that was getting ready for the royal wedding. James, Tara, Kori, Kom, and Rachel where entering the throne room of the castle.
"Whoa~!" Each gasped as they saw the interior, blown away by it since this would be their most recent time here.
"No matter how many times we see this place, it blows me away." James commentated.
"Agreed." Kom nodded
"You should see the decorations we'll have up for the reception." A familiar voice caught their attention.
"Brione!" Tara grinned
"Hello, Tara." Brion smiled, hugging his little sister. "It's good to see you all here."
"Hi, Brion." James smiled
"Hello, brother." Brion laughed heartily, clasping James in a hug before patting his back.
"Wait, huh?" James asked.
"You're family, it's only right." He answered. "You didn't marry yet, but we know it'll be soon."
James chuckled at Brion's acceptance of their relationship. But after all, it's still good to see him being this kind. "Yeah, I guess you're right." He nodded.
"So, where's the groom and spouse to be?" Rachel asked.
"My brother and his fiance are in the throne room, decorating the entire place." Bion explained
"Sounds busy." Kori responded, carrying their children.
"It is. Especially with what's been happening." Brion answered.
"What do you mean?" James asked.
"Metahuman refugees have been coming for asylum. Of course, we welcomed them and made them naturalised citizens." He explained.
"Ah, paperwork." Tara nodded.
"Lots of paperwork." He nodded
"Well, I have to say, this place looks immaculate." Kori added.
"Thank you." Brion bowed
"Let me show you your rooms. I can't wait for you guys to settle in before we get the big stuff underway." Brion added.
"Thank you, brother." Tara nodded
The group headed further in, going to their rooms where there were decorations all about the place and sure enough it was a giant and spectacular royal sweet
"Whoa! You went all out on this one." James commented in shock.
"Of course, Tara told me about your 'open relationship'. Though it wasn't in great detail." Brion answered, whispering the last part to keep it clean.
"We do not have a big enough room to fit you all." he added "So we have set up two rooms for your harem."
"Thank you very much." Rachel answered. "We'll have a good need for them."
"Yeah." Kom yawned "Mind if we head to sleep? It's been a long day."
"Of course. There are fresh clothes and towels should you want a bath or shower." Brion offered.
"Thanks." James nodded
"Call the maids should you need anything." Brion added.
"Thanks, Brion. We've got it." Tara hugged her brother, before ushering him out. "I love you big brother, I'm glad I'm home."
"I love you too, Tara." He answered as she closed the door.
"Ah~." The kids mumbled as they were laid on the bed.
"Finally, they're asleep." James sighed in relief.
"Thank goodness." Kori admitted
"They've got so much stamina-ah~." Rachel yawned.
"How can we be so tired after sleeping so much?" Kori asked.
"Anatomy's screwy, sister." Kom kissed her cheek.
"... What?" Kori asked
"Let's just head for a shower to wake ourselves up." Tara commented. "We'll explain there."
*Elsewhere*
The Grayson family where setting up in their room
"Ah~, this is nice." Duela commented. "Cass? Are you settled?" She asked her adopted daughter.
"Hmm~!" She responded, face down in a large fluffy pillow. "Soft." She giggled
On the other side, Dick raised a thumbs up as he was flat on the bed. "Whuffa muffa wah wha."
"Translation please?" Duela chuckled, walking over to her fiance.
Dick raised his head and looked at her. "So very soft."
FWAP!
"Hey! Unfair pillow attack!" He called
FWAP!
Cass reacted quickly, holding her own pillows... and looking like a sleepy ninja, the family began to laugh
"Ooh! I'm gonna getcha!" Dick called out, 'lunging' at them playfully.
*elsewhere*
"This is honestly great." Victor spoke as he felt relaxed from the cruise. "How're you doing in the shower, hon?"
"I feel great. How's Scarlett?" Sarah asked.
"Zzz..." Scarlett snored gently on the bed, having rolled herself up in a burrito.
...
"She's fine." The two smiled
Click
Victor quickly took a picture of their daughter in the 'burrito bed' and chuckled. 'Saving that one.' he thought
"Do you think these clothes will be too 'tight' for me, Victor?" Sarah asked as she had stepped out of the shower and looked at some of the dress gowns provided by the Kingdom.
"I'm sure you'll look fine." He smiled
"Thank goodness." She responded. "Can you help me put it on?"
"Of course." He nodded.
*Elsewhere*
"What is this place?" Bart blinked "I have never seen a ROOM so big!"
"I admit, this is fancy." Jay Garrick nodded
"So.. .where am I sleeping?" Thad asked, fidgeting a little since this place was much nicer than the bed he had at home. Not that Jay and Joan were cruel, far from it; this bed was just bigger and poofier.
"In here with us." Jay explained "There are three beds."
Thad did the maths in his head and nodded. "Oh, yeah. Okay." And pulled his bag to his bed.
"Did Cassie rattle your brain that much, bro?" Bart smiled
"Hey! But... Yeah, she did." He nodded.
"Don't worry, it took me months to get use to her." Bart joked "You should see her after a work out."
"She is also so nice and kind." Thad added
"That she most certainly is." Bart responded.
"Now, you two have remembered your suits; right?" Joan asked.
...
"Did we?" Bart asked, panicking a bit
"Yes Bart, we did. I made sure." Thad sighed "Same with Cassandra and her dress."
"Phew!" Bart sighed in relief. "It's one of those things; you know?"
"Hence why I dealt with it." Thad responded "... Her mothers got Cassandra a very nice dress."
"You peaked at it; didn't you?" Bart teased.
"I said I packed it!" He snapped childishly
"Boys, no fighting." Joan spoke up.
"Yes, ma'am." The two apologised before it got too heated before the two started subtly shoving each other
"Now, we've got to get ready." Jay spoke.
"Already?" Bart asked
"It's still early, Jay. No need to rush." Joan slowed him down making the three speedsters, well two speedsters and one former speedster, chuckle at the irony of the statement
*Elsewhere*
Both Jinx and Karen were in a large room with Megan, Dinah and other members of the female Justice League resting or having showers. "Surprised they had a room big enough for all of us." Shayera commented, stretching her wings
"Hmm... Palaces. More rooms than you know what to do with; I guess." Megan yawned and stretched herself.
"I guess that makes sense, but it doesn't mean that we can't have some fun before the event." Jinx added.
"It is funny to think." Diana commented "James harem is so big that even this palace needed three rooms for ALL of us."
"Three rooms?" Argent asked
"Come ON girls! You see the way Bleez and Cir-El look at him?" Holly pointed out
"True." Dawn commented
"And if Cheshire was here and not... Cheshire... She'd be in to." Rose added
"That's a good point. She'd be here too." Shayera answered. "Guess it must be his genetics."
"Yep." Rose, Jinx and Karen nodded
"And his personality." Dinah added.
"Hey, you should check this shower!" Dawn gasped in shock.
"Holy damn!" Holly gasped
"It's like a 'Niagra Falls' model!" Dawn commented "Who wants the first shower?"
"We've got to unpack first... But I call dibs." Dinah responded.
"Why can't we all shower at once? The room is very large." M'gan commented
"... Unpack first, then shower." Dinah responded as she coughed behind her hand
"Already there." Shayera answered.
*Elsewhere*
"Thank you for putting up with me, Cir-El." Bleez spoke respectfully to her roommate as they also shared a room with Mia, Courtney and Cassie
"Think nothing of it, Bleez. You're one of us now." Cir-El answered.
"Bit really." she admitted with a slight chuckle
"I hope the others are okay, I know it can probably be a bit cramped being here." Courtney commented.
"The place is big enough." Cassie commented
"I suppose that's true. Plus we can always meet up afterwards." Courtney agreed.
"... These are so soft." Bleez whispered as she held a nightgown and rubbed her face against it. "So different... Been a while since I've had something this soft."
"Well, you'll get to have this sort of thing now." Cassie answered.
Mia nodded, taking some medicine
"Are you okay?" Beez asked.
"Huh? Oh, yeah. I just have a... Disease." She explained "An earth one. With no cure right now."
"I see." Bleez nodded as she sat down on the bed. "Sorry to hear that."
...
"... Awkward." Rose whispered
"Do we get any pillow mints or anything?" Cassie asked, trying to lighten the mood.
"'Pillow mints'? It's not a hotel, Cassie." Cir-El laughed.
*time skip, elsewhere*
"GREGOR!" Tara cheered as she rushed up and hugged the King of Markovia
"Tara!" Gregor laughed as he lifted his sister into the air and spun her. "Ha, ha! You made it!"
"I missed you brother! Congradulations!" Tara cheered happily
"Thank you, it's great to hear you say that." He answered, setting her down "I'm so glad you got here safely."
"Well, when ninety percent of your plus ones are the Justice League and the Titans, it's kind of easy to get here safe." She smiled.
"True, true." He laughed
"So, where can I meet your fiance?" Tara asked, wanting to meet her future brother in law.
"Of course my dear sister." Gregor smiled "I am sorry you have been unable to meet before now."
"Well, I'm here now." Tara answered.
"Yes, you are." He smiled
"So, where is Vincent?" Tara asked puckishly.
Gregor chuckled as he heard that. "This way."
Tara followed her brother down the halls, excited to see her brother's fiance. The notes she was given painted him in a flattering light.
She was glad her brother found such love
Down the halls and to the right, in a lounge area, there was a young man with brown hair, olive-toned skin and grey eyes, wearing a suit and trousers while having some tea "You must be Tara." The man said in a charming voice
"That's right. Nice to finally meet you, Vincent." Tara responded.
"The pleasure's all mine." He shook her hand. "Gregor's told me all about you and your family with the Titans." He gave the back of her hand a kiss, like a gentleman
"You've found a good one, Gregor." Tara chuckled.
"Thank you, I trained him well." Her brother joked
"Oh? Bringing that into this?" Vincent chuckled at his fiance.
"LALALALALA!" Tara cried "I'M NOT LISTENING! I'M NOT LISTENING!"
"She's adorable." Vincent apologised, seeing Tara covering her ears.
"I don't want to talk about my brothers sex life! Or hear about it!" she responded
"Alright, alright." Gregor answered. "We've still got things to do before the big day."
"Right." she nodded happily
"I'll see you both at dinner tonight." Vincent added.
"Until tonight, Vincent." Gregor smiled and lead Tara away.
"Okay, all the... lovey-dovey stuff aside. How have things been at home? You said that the population boomed recently." Tara asked.
"Yes, that's right. We've had to make boarding houses and expand just enjoy to help house them." Gregor answered.
*Time Skip*
We see Cheshire sneaking across the Markovian border, keeping to the woods and hiding through the walls. Slung over her shoulder was a bag, filled with technology. And behind her where several soldiers dressed in entierly in black
"You better keep quiet. This is going to be dangerous until we can blend in with the crowd." Cheshire informed. "If any of you make us get caught, I will kill you." The soldiers nodded silently as their response, they were trained to follow orders and knew who Cheshire was. She even span a Sai between her fingers to emphasize her thread
"Let's go." She ordered, leading them down a hillside and closer to the border.
WEEP!
WEEP!
WEEP!
"Who set off the alarm?!" Cheshire snapped
Almost immediately a flying person arrived to surprise Cheshire and the soldiers.
It was a grey-haired woman with a blue and silver suit, she was currently hovering in the air and wearing a blue mask to cover her eyes and ears. "You are trespassing on Markovian soil! State your business!" The woman proclaimed as her hands glowed blue.
"Who's this?" Cheshire asked
"That is 'Lapis', one of Markovia's own heroes." One of the soldiers answered.
"'Lapis'?" Cheshire questioned. "Wait, one?"
"It is, basically, a nation of meta humans." One man stated
"Shit!" Cheshire gasped as she heard that.
"Stay out of the country!" Lapis called out, her fists glowing as she shot out blue gem-like shards.
'Looks like we need to get our hands dirty.' Cheshire thiught
The gem shards struck down, striking around the soldiers, not striking to kill, but to subdue. "It seems that I have to use force now." Lapis glared.
"Darn it." Cheshire frowned with a glare "Looks like I need to get rid of you."
"You may try." Lapis answered as she glowed blue and fired at Cheshire and her squad.
Cheshire arms began to rush around, her limbs moving in a flurry of movements almost like they became invisible, slashing apart them attack
Lapis' eyes widened in shock as she saw this happen before she flew into the air and rained down more gem-shards down hoping that she could use this as cover and even dodge the soldiers who were on standby. This was *supposed* to be a quiet mission and they didn't want to use bullets.
"You boys stay back and try not to piss your pants" Cheshire scoffed before she rushed forwards. Jumping high she slammed her foot out, aiming at Lapis' jaw
CRACK!
"Argh!" Lapis grunted as she felt her jaw almost break, before grabbing Cheshire by the ankle and threw her down.
The assasin stabbed her sai's into the ground, twisting her body. Her other foot slashed forwards, hitting the heroes jaw once more
Lapis spun around and spewed blood from her mouth, Cheshire was stronger than she looked and just as deadly.
Cheshire quickly landed, her arms forward and her legs fully extended. She was basically in a sprinter's position, and sprint she did. She rushed forwards, leaving her sai in the ground as she tackled the heroine
CRASH!
"Arck! Hnn!" Lapis grunted and tried to fight off this assassin, trying to fly up in the air but she clung on like a cat, quickly crawling up her body. She twisted her body, wrapping her legs around the the heroine's neck "Geh! Uff! Uff! Muh!" Lapis spat blood from her lips as she tried to rip Cheshire off of her, even using centrifugal force to fling her off.
But she wasn't moving, Cheshire refused to move! She gripped Lapis' hair, her legs tightly wrapping around the heroines neck. They tightened and tightened, Cheshire twisting her body around
'Fuck!' Lapis grunted, feeling lightheaded as she crashed to the ground. 'My... King. I'm... sorr-'
Snap!
Cheshire panted as she pinned the corpse of Lapis on the ground. The first casualty of this mission... but she had to do it.
That damn alarm.
...
Not that it mattered.
This time tomorrow?
She could add genocide to her list of crimes.
...
'Lian...' she thought knowing that after this, she would never see her again. Her life was over. Her blood ran cold as that realisation finally set in
...
And she accepted it.
She slipped her cat mask on finally, the lenses obscuring her eyes from outward view completely, as she walked over and removed her sai's from the ground.
She had work to do
*time skip*
The soldiers hid the body of Lapis away, this was supposed to be a stealth mission and they 'failed' it in the first ten minutes. They where hiden away, watching as Helicopter's arrived 'Guess some big names must be coming.' Cheshire thought sadly as she saw it.
We zoom across the sky, arriving at the palace to see the guests departing from their travel. Exiting was Lex Luthor, prim and proper as always as he walked out with his secretary. Mercy was carrying a large suitcase, nodding calmly to herself "You've brought the gifts?" Lex asked her.
"Yes, sir." She nodded professionally with a bow
"Excellent. We need to make sure this is as cordial as possible." Lex spoke.
"Ah, Mr Luthor. Welcome to Markovia." A representative spoke to welcome them.
"You have a lovely country." Lex smiled. "... I was expecting the King himself to be here."
"Apologies for the unforeseen change, Mr Luthor. The Princess has returned and has brought her friends and their plus-ones to the wedding." The representative answered.
"I see." Another man stated as he walked out of his own helicopter
"Ah, welcome, welcome." The representative smiled. "Mr Savage."
"Mr Savage. I didn't think you'd be here." Lex commented.
"Oh, come now, Lex. The best are all welcomed here... even you got an invitation." Mr Savage smirked, making a deep cut in Lex's pride.
Lex had to compose himself, a snarl on his lips was forced into a smile. "Ah-ha... A wit." He responded coolly.
"Gentlemen, ladies. Please follow me inside." The representative spoke courteously.
Vandal Savage was a surprisingly talk man. He had dark slicked back black hair, a finely trimmed goatee, wearing a grey suit with a white button shirt and a red tie.
Stepping out of the helicopters were other members of royalty, corporate members of trade and invited guests. The rich and famous, those who made so much money and influence
"Seems that there are many people who you might say are... 'all the best'." Lex responded.
"There can be exceptions." Savage answered.
"If you say so." Lex responded.
'Oh lord.' Mercy rolled her eyes to herself as she was in the middle of their pissing contest.
Walking out of an aeroplane, wearing a professional black suit and tie, having a mop of brown hair, pale skin, orange eyes and the air of someone superior about him. He approached the representatives and smiled. "Ah, thank you for inviting me." The man smiled.
"Who's is he?" Lex asked
Mr Savage turned and looked at the man, trying to place him. "I'm not sure." He answered. "Isn't he one of yours?"
"Would I have asked you if I knew who he was?" Lex rebutted.
"Ah, Mr Jones, thank you for coming." The representative smiled, introducing the man.
"Thank you." He nodded "But please, call me Psimon."
"Of course, Psimon. Welcome to Markovia." They responded.
*Time Skip*
There was a blur around the giant great hall, decorations going up and being adjusted in the blink of an eye
"Whoa, that's all amazing." Brion commented as he saw this. "Thank you, James."
"...Noproblem!..." A speedy voice responded from the blur as it finished up all the decorations before it came to a stop.
With a slight 'screech', the alien appeared. It was a bipedal bird-like alien, four-toed taloned claws wearing a silver and purple jumpsuit, its back tails looked slightly metallic with a purple shine to them, its front wings were its arms, a long neck with a silvery beak and a purple and silver comb.
"What is this alien?"
"I'mnotsurewhatcallthisguy! Possible'RevRun','SonicBeak','WingSpeed'? Thisguy'sspeedandspeechiskindahyper. Idon'tknowifIcanslowdown!" James responded, before he turned back to normal. "Wow!" He gasped "That was a damn rush!"
"I think you might need to use that form in moderation." Brion commented.
"Probably." James nodded
"Do you need a drink or anything?" Brion asked as he brought James over to a chair.
"Water. Probably." He nodded as he stretched
"Can we get some water, please?" Brion asked one of the maid-staff.
"This whole place, being done up. It reminds me of my own weddings." James admitted.
"We're not trying to one-up you." Brion chuckled. "Or you one-up us?"
"Nah, just commenting." He responded with a playful push
"Well, it's all going according to plan." Brion smiled and sighed, seeing the decorations. "There's going to be a lot of people at this event. The majority of the Justice League included because of your plus ones." He teased.
"So it'll be a real safe event." James grinned
"Exactly. Is it wrong that you want your family to have their special day?" Brion asked.
"Brion... I understand completely." James answered as he gave his future brother in law a hug, knowing that sooner or later... it would be time for himself and Tara.
"Your Highness." A member of the royal guard spoke, accompanied by one of the accounters for the guest lists.
"Ah, good to see you. Sorry, James. I have to-" Brion spoke.
"I get it. Guest list stuff." James nodded. "Good luck mate."
"I'm going to need it." Brion chuckled.
*Elsewhere*
"Is this right?" One man asked as the small army was hidden away in a cave near the castle
"Is what 'right'?" Cheshire asked as they were setting up base.
"The red wire to the red socket? Or was it red to blue?" the first asked in worry
Cheshire rolled her eyes and groaned, fitting the red wire to the red socket and blue to blue. "What kind of assassins are you?"
"None-nucular bomb arming ones?" another said lamely
Cheshire shook her head and continued to guard outside the cave. "Any word on our 'benefactor'?"
"None." Another commented
"Then we're flying by instinct." Cheshire frowned as she observed the arrivals of many people there through her binoculars. "Just great." she frowned... and saw the Titans through her banoculars. "Wh-what?" She whispered as she saw them. "What are they doing here?" She stopped, freezing, as she saw James 'No! No, no, nononononono!' She thought in horror as she saw him. 'Not him! No! Please, no!'
She almost dropped the binoculars as she saw him, her boyfriend... the person that-God, what was she going to do?!
After everything he had done for her... he was to be one of the casualties?
'James! Oh god. I have to stop-! I can't...' she thought in terror. "I'm trapped."
She lowered her head and sighed. The only other person she ever... cared about like that... besides Roy, the only person she could see herself actual changing for...
She had to kill him
For her daughter
'I'm sorry, James.' She thought sadly.
She turned her back... And walked away
