Chapter 13: What Happens in Vegas…..

"It's about timing more or less," Harry whispered as he kept his focus half on the ring and half on Atlee. It vexed him that he'd been able to make so little progress on deciphering it's mysteries, but that was beside the point.

"It's one of the most important things you need to remember," Imra said as she watched Atlee steady herself by take a deep breath. Karen, who was standing next to the younger girl, gave her the necessary encouragement by squeezing her hand gently.

"Don't worry Atlee, you can definitely do this," Karen whispered to her.

"...Right," Atlee responded to her nervously. She then took a couple of death breaths in and out of her body, in hopes that it would calm her down, seeing as how her stomach felt like it twisted in a knot.

"Just stay calm, do your best and no one will think badly of you," Harry reassured her and Atlee nodded at him sharply.

Harry could see that Atlee had confidence issues when it came to using her powers, but that was one of those things about people who had them. You needed to spend time training how to use them properly, and experience came with a lot of trail and error, hell, Harry's own training wasn't without many complications. Even though he could do things that no one else could do, it still didn't happen without long hours of training and practice.

"Long day?"

Salu decided to keep Harry coming, all the while keeping her eyes on the new recruit training with Karen and Imra in the background.

"I'm beginning to think this is just a tricky piece of jewelry and nothing more, perhaps a bit creepier than your usual piece of jewelry, but nothing to be overly concerned about," Harry said to her. "If it has powers, it's really stubborn about showing them off."

"Well…you'll get it Harry," Salu said, she could see Atlee practicing out of the corner of her eye so she decided to change the subject. "So, is Atlee doing well?"

"She's doing great," Harry admitted with a bright smile. "A bit nervous, I'll be honest, but she's getting there."

"A work in progress?" Nura asked as she parked herself down next to them. Her gaze fixated upon Atlee and she couldn't help but smile, the kid was alright, rough around the edges, but she was in fact alright.

"Work in process is exactly how I'll describe her," Harry admitted, she'd get better with practice and experience.

"Well, keep working on her and she'll be something amazing," Nura said as she decided to shift gears. "And as for the ring….."

"...Speaking of works in progress," Harry grumbled, he wasn't going to lie, he was more than agitated that he wasn't making any headway with the ring.

"Distracted?" Diana asked him as she joined the three, Kara was with her and both of them greeted Harry with the briefest of kisses. The two females having already decided previously not monopolize his attention too much.

"In a manner of speaking, yes," Harry answered with a grin on his face as he shook his head to clear the cobwebs. If he had any reaction from it, or seen a sign of some sort, he would be in a lot better position, but that was just the way the ball was rolling with this ring.

"We can tell," Diana said as she slowly ran her hands down Harry's shoulders, starting to massage them slowly, he felt pretty tense.

"Yeah, it's obvious," Kara agreed as she observed Atlee's training. A grin appeared on the blonde's face as the girl lost her confidence and poise after getting frustrated with her lack of obvious results. The younger girl was a work in progress, but with the right amount of effort she would blossom into something spectacular.

Karen decided to wrap things up for the day before Atlee embarrassed herself too much further. She was the ones of the people responsible for training the younger girl, alongside Harry, Diana and Imra.

"Not bad, Atlee, there's room for improvement, but that's enough for today," Karen informed the younger girl, who nodded in agreement. "You should probably grab a shower and get changed, we'll discuss how you did later."

Atlee grinned brightly, although she was trying not to look too pleased with herself.

Silence was said to be golden, but for the Legion of Super Heroes it was almost always the calm, before the storm. Chloe's voice was the one that broke the silence.

"Hey guys, I want you to take a look at this!" she called from the next room. Harry wondered what trouble she had stumbled upon this time. The girls and Harry made their way to the room to see Chloe's eyes glued to the screen.

"Hey, Chloe, what's up?" Karen asked, confused by the sudden outburst.

There was an image of a beautiful woman on the screen. She had silky dark hair that framed her beautiful face and the most alluring blue eyes, along with a set of rosy lips that looked to be quite kissable. She was wearing a button up white top, and a black bottom that was essentially a pair of extremely tight short shorts, over this she had on a black tail coat. She wore fishnet stockings that showcased her delicious legs, she topped off the outfit with a nice pair of boots.

"So if you didn't know that's….."

Harry cut off Chloe at the pass, he knew the woman on the screen very well indeed. "...Zatanna Zatara."

Chloe's mouth hung open in shock at his words and Harry felt the need to elaborate on his statement. "We've met."

"And...by met you mean….."

"He means exactly what you think he means," Kara replied smoothly and the grin that filled her face couldn't be surgically removed if they tried. "So what's the reason for the sudden interest?"

"She disappeared in 2015," Diana said and Imra jumped in with some more information, she was a massive history nerd after all.

"...It was always very weird, there was a battle with this mysterious wizard and whilst he was defeated, she was just...gone...the next day."

"Well, that's interesting," Harry said, turning to Diana since she was one of the original seven and probably know more, he asked her a question. "Justice League members disappearing into the ether was normal, wasn't it?"

"Sometimes a body was found, but this time, we weren't so lucky or unlucky I guess," Diana admitted, even to this day, what happened to Zatanna baffled her. "Batman was adamant that she wasn't dead, but even the World's Greatest Detective couldn't find out what happened to her."

"We will," Harry stated bluntly, the girls stared at him oddly trying to figure out what he was saying, then it dawned on them. "There has to be a reason why this popped up….."

"...It's a safe point," Imra offered to Harry, then explained further. "It's a point in time where we can travel there without disrupting the flow of the time stream."

They had used such safe points in the past, the adventure where Chloe got infected by Brainiac being the one that stuck out in everyone's mind.

"So, I guess we should go then," Karen said and there was agreement from the rest.

It was time to solve one of history's greatest mysteries, what exactly happened to Zatanna Zatara?

The year was 2015 and Zatanna was headed back to Vegas. The bright lights and the larger than life personalities in Sin City caused her to smile, Las Vegas, or Lost Wages as the Flash dubbed it, was certainly a happening place.

"This is Iris West with GBS, this just in, Superman has helped avert the hostage crisis and saved the President with help from the Justice League. Cat Grant is live at the scene…."

Zatanna was off the clock, but she been ingrained with a certain sense of duty. That sense cropped up when she saw a shady figure creeping his way towards an old shop, she couldn't help herself from investigating further. As she moved forwards, she couldn't help but be reminded of the phrase, curiosity killed the cat.

She stood there, looking in through the shop window, but the person in question was gone. Perhaps, he wasn't really there in the first place.

'You've been hanging around Bruce too much,' she thought to herself. 'It's causing you to be paranoid.'

The door swung upon on its own accord and she didn't bat an eyelash at that fact. Magic was in fact, magical, she took that as an invitation to step inside the shop.

"I wondered when you would come, Zatanna."

She turned around and saw a figure standing there. Black robes adorned his body, his hair was dark and spiky, a pair of aviator glasses offset his features and his blue eyes looked towards her with malevolence.

"Well, well, a Harry Potter cosplayer," Zatanna said as she got over her initial suspicion. "Guess it is Vegas….."

"I AM AN ORIGINAL!" He howled this at the top of this lung, being compared to Harry Potter seemed to be a source of agitation to him.

"That petulant little nobody...he thinks he's so special. With his highly overrated series of children's fantasy movies, his even more highly overrated movies, his crappy video games, no, he's not real like I am! Don't ever get me started on that annoying know it all bitch that he runs around with..."

Zatanna had to disagree with this man's opinions about the authenticity of Harry Potter, but that was beside the point.

"You might be a bit confused….."

He interrupted her. "...You think I am?"

An amulet was clutched in his hand and it flared with the unmistakable energies of dark magic.

'Surely not,' Zatanna thought as she recognized the amulet in his hand.

"I'm not a low rent fucking Harry Potter wannabe! I'm sick and tired of people comparing me to him! I was around before he was even was a thought in that demented woman's head. I'm special! I'm wonderful! I will show you ultimate power!"

"Oookay, kid calm down," Zatanna said trying to pacify him. "Don't wet yourself now."

He wasn't getting calm, in fact he was becoming even more enraged.

"I am calm, I'M CALM!" the kid yelled out as his eyes flared with rage and he looked anything, but calm. "I'm far more powerful than that little scar faced twat and soon children everywhere will be worshiping me! Talking about who I should be shipped with on the Internet, and dressing like me. I will have the book deals, the movie deals, and everything else. THEY WILL BE WRITING HAREM FAN FICTION PAIRING ME WITH EVERY HOT GIRL KNOWN TO MAN!"

Zatanna charged forwards only for a wall of solid ice to rise up in front of her, causing her to smack right into it. While painful, it could have been much worse. The amulet made far range attacks borderline difficult but close range did not work out much better for her.

"Just….who….are…you?" Zatanna asked, trying to fight her way through the ice.

"You never heard of me before, but after today, you will never forget my name," he said, pure rage evident in his voice. "I will have the…."

"MIH GAG!"

A gag tightened around his mouth and the air was nearly sucked out of his lungs, a second spell fired off in his direction sent him to careening into a cabinet with a frightful impact. The amulet flew out of his hand and she snatched it out of the air.

If Zatanna thought that it was over now that she had possession of it, she was sadly mistaken. He'd already absorbed some of the amulet's powers and Zatanna felt her spine arch as he forced her down onto her knees.

"YOU WILL BOW BEFORE ME! I AM HUNTOR THE MAGNFICIENT! ALL WILL BE ON THEIR KNEES BEFORE ME!"

'And he has no indoor voice, my favorite kind of villain,' she thought to herself dryly.

"I AM THE ULTIMATE PERSONIFICATION OF POWER!"

"Not to mention the ultimate personification of not being able to shut the motherfucking hell up."

Hunter turned around to see the one and only Harry Fucking Potter standing there behind him, causing him to nearly shit his pants.

"Hello, Timothy."

"YOU!" he howled angrily, but the green eyed sorcerer regarded him dismissively.

"Yes, Timothy, me," Harry said, an extreme amount of annoyance dripping from his voiced, he'd always hated this whelp. The little snot had always been obnoxious to the point he made Draco Malfoy seem like a well adjusted individual, and his wonderful personality seemed to be completely intact, he felt so very lucky. "Hey, Zee."

"Harry!…I thought...I thought you disappeared," she panted, after Harry helped her to break the spell of Huntor the Magnificent.

"Long Story…I'll tell you later," Harry offered, she couldn't help but notice the situation happening outside. "Monsters are attacking Vegas, but I've got backup."

Zatanna had a good idea that Harry's backup was in fact of the female variety.

"So let's kick this little shit around," Harry said and Zatanna smiled brightly at that.

"Gladly."

Huntor was pissed off beyond belief. Harry Potter always snatched the spotlight away from people who deserved it, that glory hog was going to pay.

Harry meanwhile calculated a way to negate the amulet, if he didn't do so, Vegas would collapse underneath the chaotic powers it had unleashed. They were sent here for a good reason and he figured that it was etched in the stars.

Much to his surprise, the furniture in the shop started to come to life. He honestly wouldn't even rank this in the top fifty weirdest things that ever happened to him. The chair dove for him, with lightning fast reflexes, Harry reduced the piece of furniture to tooth picks.

"So, he's not playing around," Zatanna said as she avoided being strangled by the nearby curtains.

"Just like old times?" Harry asked her as he helped her defeat the rogue curtains. Spikes of mystical energy shredded them in confetti.

"Yes," Zatanna agreed swiftly, as they made quick work of the first volley of attackers, and needless to say the little turd in question was freaking out at that.

"YOU ALWAYS RUIN EVERYTHING!"

Several sharp objects flew towards Harry with the intention of impaling him. He lifted his hand up and they slammed into a shield, causing them to fall to the ground with a thud.

"NO! NO! NO! YOU CAN'T! YOU CAN'T!….YOU AREN'T GOING TO STEAL MY SHOW!"

"Merlin's swollen testicle…..you whine more than I used to!" Harry couldn't help but snap back at him, given how much angst Harry spilled as a teenager that was saying a lot. He was facing off against a young man who was fueled by primal rage and magical powers.

"STOP RUNNING AND FIGHT ME!" he howled as Harry did his impression of a boxer as he bobbed and weaved around the razor spikes being thrown at him. "The famous Harry Potter is no match for…."

A spell slamming into his mid-section, silenced the little shit and caused him to fly hard into the closest wall. His back crunched against it with a thud and Harry scowled at him.

"Yes, because I haven't heard that one about a thousand times already, give or take," Harry grumbled with a shake of his head. Zatanna blocked the rabid bunny rabbits attacking them and then calmed them down, although everyone present knew that bunny rabbits were secretly evil.

"Isn't it more than that?" Zatanna suggested to Harry, shrugged and helped her defeat the dresser which was shooting bolts of blue energy at them. Given that the wall behind them burned to a crisp when it got hit by the bolts, Harry didn't have to say how important it was to take this thing down.

"Like I said, give or take."

A magical whirlwind flung the obnoxious little twerp back up against the wall. No matter how many times he got up, Harry mowed him back down.

"Amulet," Harry whispered to Zatanna, Huntor had somehow reclaimed it during the fight scene.

"Gotcha," Zatanna said as they locked hands and combining their respective magical energy, they fired a huge flaming spike towards their enemy. The spike turned into a hideous looking dragon-like creature when it came into contact with the chaotic magical energies being released by the amulet. Harry manipulated the dragon with a wave of his hand causing Huntor to scream in terror, with a lash of his tail it disarmed him and the amulet flew out of his hand.

With the reflexes of a Seeker, Harry caught it in his hand. He dangled the amulet from it and he couldn't resist taunting his enemy. "Well, you lost."

Huntor's eyes widened in pure rage, and Harry could tell that he was this close to foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog.

"No harm done, you just lost to the superior wizard."

The sheer amount of Rage, he was feeling started to overwhelm him, Harry and Zatanna started the mental count down in their heads.

Three.

Two.

One.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

A barrage of bolts fired towards them, but they were even more unfocused than his previous efforts. His rage making it hard for him to even aim properly at his enemy.

Much to Zatanna's surprise, Harry didn't even need to move out of the way and there was no question as to why. He was making Huntor play right into his hand, he didn't even need to lift a single pinky to defend himself.

"STAND STILL….I'M BETTER THAN YOU!….BETTER!"

A rapid fire barrage of magical energy fired wildly from his hand. One of them ricocheted off of the mirror and nearly took his own head off.

"Keep saying that and one day, it might become true," Harry said, smirking at his enemy. He was just going to allow him to burn himself out; the young sorcerer was nearly out of juice.

"NO!"

"Yes."

"NO! NO! NO! NO! I'M NOT!" He shouted this at the top of his lungs and Harry had to roll his eyes. Now he was just being overly dramatic

"I would say yes again, but we're going around in circles as is," Harry said as he dodged the final attempt to be taken down.

The fact this was his last hurray, seemed to be pretty self-evident and one magically enhanced punch, put him flat on his back where he belonged. His eyes rolled into the back of his head and his jaw snapped, which finally shut him up.

"Sorry, Timothy, you lose."

The after effects of the monsters lingered outside, so their work wasn't done yet. That said, Harry was confident in his team and their ability to succeed.

"Make sure the kid is wrapped up, then we can go help the girls clean up," Harry said and she nodded. "And I'm sure that you still want to hear the story about my amazing resurrection."

"The thought did cross my mind," Zatanna said, causing Harry to grin.

"Good things come to those who wait, my dear."

"Believe me, after missing you for so long, I'm about done waiting, but I suppose I could last a few more minutes," she said reluctantly. It was hard, but she had learned to be patient.

Imra just loved it when the pressure was on and right now she was looking up at a large ugly monster. It was made of a coarse set of rocks and practically spat lava at her, she monitored its progress carefully, and she was about ready to take it down.

Kara rocked a huge two headed dragon like enemy with a punch, it spat fire at her, but Kara's bite was bigger. She launched huge bomb like punches towards it, the type of blow that would take the head off of most enemies, she couldn't afford to hold back right now.

"What's taking them so long?"

Salu sunk down to microscopic size, to the point where she could see the magic around her. Analyzing it carefully, the young woman found a weak spot within the weave.

"I don't know, maybe something happened," Tinya suggest as she assisted Imra in taking her enemy down. Slipping in behind him, she grabbed hold of his ankles then used to her powers to sink his legs a foot into the ground and that allowed Imra to push herself into its mind.

"Well, that's no good, it's just a mindless drone, that makes my powers useless," she grumbled and Karen responded to her words by kicking the creature in the face.

"Mind over matter is good, but force works just as well," Karen said as she turned around just in time to see Diana slid underneath a large towering griffin like creature. Popping back up onto her feet, she wrapped her lasso around it neck and pulled down hard, driving it's head into the ground with a savage force.

It howled in primal agony. "I'm sure, Harry and Zee are fine, they've been up against worse."

"Yeah, I don't have any idea," Chloe said, for the first time in a long time, she was out in the field. It was an exciting experience, although something that she didn't want to make a regular event of, she was able to hold her own though.

Their question was answered when Zatanna and Harry turned up out of no where to help tip the scales. With a wave of Harry's hand, one of the creatures exploded into microscopic dust particles, there wasn't a trace left of it left.

"So where were you?" Chloe asked, quickly calculating what still needed to be done.

"You were doing fine….."

"I know, but the more, the merrier," Chloe said and Zatanna quickly got into the thick of things.

"I wondered when you two would show up," Diana said and Zatanna stopped dead with a confused expression on her face.

"Diana, I thought that you were in space?"

"Well, I guess past-me was today, but not future-me….it's kind of confusing, I'll explain later," Diana said as she lassoed the stone flying monkeys out of the sky and slammed them down into the ground where they shattered upon impact.

"There's a lot of that going around," Zatanna said breathlessly as she decided to help her friend and teammate beat down a griffin. "We got the amulet….."

"Then why aren't we home celebrating?" Chloe asked in confusion.

Harry chimed in with an explanation. "There's enough residual magic in the air to cause any creatures that were formed by the amulet to stay put until their destroyed or banished."

"In other words, you beat the master, but we've still got to deal with the slaves," Imra said and Harry nodded.

"Of. Fucking. Course," Karen said, she punctuated each word with an uppercut punch to a foul looking bat/vulture hybrid. Whoever created this thing, had a sick fucking imagination.

"My thoughts exactly," Harry said, standing in the middle of the battlefield as calm as the gentle wind. He conjured a flaming axe and swung for the fences, hacking into the creatures and cleaving right through them in most cases. Flying monkey, bat/vultures, whatever the hell that snake-fish thing was, all of them incinerated by his efforts.

"Show up out of nowhere and embarrass us all, that's my husband right there, ladies," Kara said, palming her face and shaking her head.

"I wouldn't say that, there were at least twice as many creatures before we turned up," Zatanna said as they started to wrap things up.

"Well, that was fun," Chloe concluded as she brushed her hands off. "So, would anyone care to explain to me what exactly happened?"

Zatanna did a double take and she felt like she should know this person, but at the same time, she didn't know her.

"Do I know you?" Zatanna asked and Chloe grinned immediately.

"Well….you once caused me to live a day as my cousin, because of a wish, so I dare say that we met once or twice," Chloe said and Zatanna looked at her closely, she was certain that she would remember doing something like that. She racked her brain, but nothing came to her, not a thing, notta.

"Remember the mind wipe, she was active at the time so even though she met you, she has no memories of it," Imra offered in way of explanation to Chloe.

"Worldwide mind wipe, well that explains a lot," Zatanna said calmly to Harry, who had a wide grin on his face. "And you're acting like this isn't something weird."

"For me, it isn't and it shouldn't be for you either," Harry said, but Chloe interrupted him by bouncing up and down impatiently with her hand raised. The raven haired wizard could barely hide his amusement at her action. "Yes, Chlo, can we help you with something?"

"Yes….what….just….happened?"

"Oh, nothing much," Zatanna said with a smile as she offhand backhanded a lone flying monkey that was charging at her from behind. Hanging around with the god damned Batman on a regular basis had it's benefits after all. "Just some douchebag getting his hands on a magical amulet to compensate for his small penis size. No big deal really."

Chloe's eyebrows rose up nearly to her hairline at that explanation. "I see."

Diana knew that there were going to be a lot of questions, but Imra had a thought for her.

'You know, it's lucky that you didn't run into your past self,' Imra offered to her as Zatanna and Harry performed a scan of the area. It would take about a minute.

'Well, knowing my luck, I'd end up in a threesome with myself and Harry,' Diana said without missing a beat. Half the reason she'd joined the Justice League was because she thought it would help in her search for him.

'That's a definite shame,' Harry deadpanned, but then he switched gears faster than anyone else on Earth. 'Oh, and the scans came up clean.'

The entire group let out a sigh of relief at that. Not that they weren't well equipped to deal with it, but it was just like they were fighting a never ending battle. Zatanna, meanwhile, turned her full attention to Harry.

"So, I believe I owe you an explanation."

"Well, yes, you do, you just disappeared one day so I thought something happened to you!" Zatanna said and there was a second where Harry wondered if she was going to hex him.

Suddenly, she threw her arms around Harry neck and smashed her lips onto his in a kiss. Harry's eyes closed as he leaned into it, and his arms tightened around her as the two of them melted into each other. They got lost in the moment as their tongues tangled together.

After that seemed like ten minutes and was most likely extremely close to that, the two broke apart. The rest of the girls acted like nothing out of the ordinary happened.

"I think it's time for a drink," Imra whispered and it was time for some explanations. That was best done over drinks.

There should be no need to wipe her memory if they explained everything carefully to her.

"Sooo….let me get this straight? You're from the future?"

Zatanna's raised an eyebrow at that from where she sat at the bar with the Legion females and Harry. He couldn't help but chuckle at the incredulous look plastered on the face of the raven haired sorceress.

"Oh, come on, Zee, don't act like you don't believe it."

"No….no...I believe it," Zatanna said as she smiled. "Considering that it's you, I'm willing to believe quite a lot…..as you well know."

"We do," Chloe said, as she, Harry, Karen, and Diana all nodded in agreement and the other girls, despite being more tranquil agreed as well.

"We'd probably be skeptical as well, if we were in your shoes," Imra said as she shifted her shoulders back.

"It is true through," Lunoru said, she didn't really have anything else to say other than that. She had actually been surprisingly quiet this time around.

"There is little that I won't believe, especially with after my time as part of the League," Zatanna said.

"I'll drink to that one," Diana said and they all laughed.

Chloe tried to figure out the best way to break this news. "I'm pretty sure you're wondering why we came here in the first place."

"The thought did cross my mind," Zatanna said but she was pretty sure that there was a good reason.

Chloe was having a brief mental conference with herself about the best way to break the news and considering she was the soul of discretion, decided that would be bluntly and directly. "Well, according to our records, you were supposed to disappear today."

"Today….as in today, today?"

Chloe winced at her tone, but then she nodded. "Yeah, on this day."

Zatanna processed this information in her head and she had only one thing to say. "Well….that's interesting. The terminology used….I mean. Disappear…but not die?"

That was the most curious thing to Zatanna and Harry caught her conflicted thoughts. Come to think of it, that entire mess was curious to him as well.

"That's what the records say," Imra said, being the fangirl/historian that she was, she combed over everything until her eyes bled. So she had a pretty good idea what the Legion records said from heading to period.

"They weren't all that clear, though," Nura said with a frown. Normally, she would get some detailed premonition when something bad was going to happen, but she saw nothing this time.

Zatanna whistled as lifted her drink, taking a sip of it, she used the moment to collect her thoughts. "I see."

"Few things about history are etched in stone," Diana said and she could take amusement in certain things now. "It's quite fortunate that you weren't with the past version of me that's running around."

"Yes, there is that, isn't there?" Zatanna asked. She was trying to wrap her head around time travel. It was much like magic; it had its oddities that defied explanation. "It's a ;ot to take in, really."

"I thought you said you could handle all of this," Harry teased her playfully.

"I can…..well, I thought that I could. I really….really thought that I could."

"Well, I guess it's harder than it looks," Harry told her as he squeezed her hand. "And there's what happened to me…..hardest thing that I had to do, really."

"I know," Zatanna said as she took solace in Harry's hand squeezing hers. "I could have helped."

"I know you could, but I made a promise to your father before I left, one that I intended to keep," Harry offered her in way of an explanation.

"Well, that figures," Zatanna said, she loved her father, but when he was alive, he was a bit too overtly protective. This was one of the times where that bit her in the ass. "So how are you doing Kara."

"Pretty good," Kara said with a bright smile towards the Magician. "What we discussed is being worked on but….there's a lot of work to be done."

Harry and Kara gave Zatanna a detailed explanation about how bad things had gotten in the Forbidden Zone. When they were done, she whistled.

"Wow, didn't think things had gone that far," she admitted and they both nodded somberly. "And about….."

"She died a long time ago, I really don't want to talk about her anymore, she's gone, died hundreds of years ago," Harry said with a wave of his hand.

"Believe me, I understand," Zatanna said, she could tell how hurt Harry was by what happened.

She knew that there might have been a way to save her father all of those years ago, and she blamed herself for what happened there. Even though it wasn't her fault, Zatanna still blamed herself for everything that happened.

"The past is the past, we should work on the future," Kara stated bluntly, considering what she'd gone through in the course of life, she'd quickly learned not to dwell on things or else she'd quickly go insane.

"So, what's on your mind?" Harry asked and Zatanna's grin got even wider.

"Loads, more than you might think….but when you are going back….."

"Well, we don't have to go back right away," Imra interjected, she was beginning to wonder something about the timeline. If her hunch was right, things were about to get interesting.

"If you can't…..well, I understand….and you need to reverse the curse…."

The Legion admired how she was side stepping the huge elephant in the room that was her own disappearance.

"We can stay, Imra said that there wouldn't be a problem if we did," Kara said, stopping Zatanna from embarrassing herself further by turning into a stuttering wreck.

"So, it's settled then! It's time to have some fun!" Chloe cheered with a wide grin and Harry nodded.

"I always wanted to visit Las Vegas in the 21st century, just to see what it was like at it's peak," Imra admitted, she didn't even bother to hide the grin that spread across her face.

"Yes, it'll be so cool!" Tinya said bouncing up and down.

"...And people call me hyperactive," Kara said, only for Tinya to stick her tongue out at her. "And that's real mature."

"You don't have any room to talk about maturity," Tinya said, shaking her head and Salu snickered beneath her hand. "What?"

"Nothing, it's nothing," Salu said and Harry got to his feet.

"It's Vegas, we should enjoy what we can here."

"Harry's right," Karen said in a jubilant voice. She had heard things about Vegas, but she never had a chance to experience the glitz and the glamor of Sin City. "We should let our hair down, have some fun. I mean, you only live once after all and we did defeat some douchebag, along with his army of monsters, so we should be able to celebrate."

"Cheers, Karen," Harry said with a grin rising his glass to her as the rest of the group broke into laughter around them.

They were in Vegas, there should be no harm in doing this. What could really happen anyways? The night of debauchery and fun was about to commence.

To Be Continued.
