Chapter Five: Experiments.
Lily Evans stood in front of the desk of the Shining Light Foundation as bold as brass and Harry watched her carefully. Kara, Karen, and Chloe eyed her distrustfully as well. Whilst Karen never had much experience with Lily or her games, Chloe and Kara had more than plenty. The two blondes fixed their expression on the red head before them, carefully turning their heads and they inclined themselves with a nod, before their eyes burned into her face with a stare.
"So, the Higher Ups brought you back to life as well," Harry responded when he turned around before he looked at Lily. "Why?"
Lily waved her hand to try and appease her son but she could feel the tension rolling off of him when she stared him down. It was just as well, she knew what her corrupted journal self did to him, she got the memories and it turned her stomach a little bit. The journal was a good idea in practice but it got somewhat corrupted with all of the dark magic flying around the room on the night that Voldemort attacked and killed her, before trying to kill Harry.
"I didn't bring myself back to life, rather years ago on Krypton, I inserted my DNA into the orb that brought the Kandorians to Earth," Lily answered before Chloe turned towards her with a biting expression on her face.
"Yeah, and you thought this was a good idea because…."
"I thought it was a good idea because if all went wrong, I could be here to help steer them towards a better path," Lily stated as she looked up and could feel the distrust rolling off of them. It was almost intoxicating come to think about it. The red haired woman carefully watched the trio when they stared at her. Even Claire's gaze was filled with mistrust. She smiled at Claire, who did not return it. "So is this my grandchild?"
"You're not allowed to speak with or make eye contact with her," Kara responded in a cold voice, she remembered what happened last time Lily was in a close proximity with Claire.
Lily felt the hostility; one could cut it with a knife. She wondered what she would have to do to atone for her sins, but she know knew that they were no closer to tracking down the Kandorians than she was, despite her constant searching. Zod was far more dangerous without his powers than he might have been with them and far craftier as well. She figured he had magical assistance as well. There was no rock that she left unturned but yet they kept eluding her.
Despite the tracking spell that she placed on them, they kept slipping out of her fingers, and she bit down on her lip when she thought about it more and more.
"It's about the Kandorians," Lily stated to break the tension and this caused four sets of eyes to turn slowly towards her.
"So, you have our attention," Chloe responded in a dry voice.
Lily figured that she might, when she focused her attention on three of her son's many wives. She carefully watched them, keeping them in close proximity. The red head watched the three blondes and her sons.
"What are they up to?" Harry asked, he dispensed with all pleasantries, he wanted to get down to the information.
Lily smiled, she figured that there was going to be a lack of trust, but nothing this cold. Her son stared her down with burning intensity that flicked through her eyes. There was a moment when she crossed her arms and carefully took a look at them before she responded with her answered.
"The Kandorians are experimenting on humans," Lily responded, getting the one piece of information she could find out for sure.
"They're what?" Kara asked, when she got up to her feet but Harry grabbed Kara around the wrist, before pushing her back down onto the seat. Kara relaxed a little bit but did not say anything much. Her eyes carefully flickered shut.
"Do you have any proof?" Harry asked but sure enough, she placed the pictures down on the table.
Chloe eyed the picture, her eyes widened when she spun around and carefully took a look at them. She gave a slight gasp when she recognized the person in the pictures and turned to her fellow spouses. "That's John Corben, he's…."
"I know, new reporter at the Planet, he didn't turn up for work yesterday," Harry responded when he turned around before he saw the mangled state of his body, when he eyed them carefully, before placing his hands on the paper. "Yeah, I can see why he didn't."
"So the Kandorians are experimenting on people like him," Kara responded before she spun around to focus for a moment, a sickening turn going through her stomach but Lily's expression grew rather grim.
"Well to be fair none of these people are alive," Lily answered in a delicate voice when she looked at the papers. "They've snatched them up, corpses from the hospitals, accidents, they're not much of anything to be honest."
Harry knew what this meant and he didn't like it, the Kandorians were trying to find a way to get their powers back. Zod riled them up with promises and he had his own agenda, one that could give Harry a headache. He put a hand to his forehead and spun around, before throwing his head back as he took a moment to bite down on his lip. He carefully stepped to his feet before he made his way towards the door but stopped and spun around, before facing Lily.
"You're going to help me sort this one out," Harry responded, he didn't quite believe that Lily was unaware of where the Kandorians ran off to. The two of them picked up the pace and continued to walk forward with a purpose.
"You don't trust me," Lily answered, this was not a complaint, rather a statement.
"Do you even need to ask me why?" Harry asked to her and Lily shook her head.
"No, but I know why, that journal….she took my objective a bit too far," Lily answered in a small voice before she followed Harry forward. He barely looked over her shoulder. "You've got to believe me Harry, I never would have done half of the things that journal did."
Harry would have liked to believe her but the problem was that he could not believe her because that would be stupid. That was a huge issue that he was not going to be able to shake free of any time soon. The young wizard twisted his attention away from her before they kept walking a little bit forward.
John Corben could hardly believe this, the other dayhe was strong and able to stand up straight, without any problems. He was the epitome of health when he thought of it, he had barely been sick of the day of his life and now he shook his head, when his eyes closed a little bit. He remembered it, every single bit of it he remembered, the pain that racked through his body.
The truck went down the road and slammed into him with sickening impact, rocking him and rattling him. Corben felt numb to all emotions, all sensations, but yet he felt the anger. The anger at those who failed to save him but despite that fact, the Blur managed to save everyone but him. His arms pulsed with fury when he heard the clicking and grinding of the metal implant in his body. The green glow, the modified green glow pumped through his body.
He gingerly pulled himself to his feet and walked forward with the thump of body. By all rights, he should be dead and he wished that he was. He would have been crushed; his jaw was set when he turned around. Corben continued to walk forward and saw the newspaper.
'Where is the Blur?'
That was the question that he wanted an answer to, before he slammed his hands on the wall in frustration. Corben could sense the heat around him and the energy pulsed through his body. He tried to mess with the tubes but he found that they were not something that he could mess with. Rather he tried to pull himself forward, carefully making himself stand up tall.
Perhaps things would be turned around, making a negative into a positive. Perhaps this strength could be turned into something that he was able to utilize to great success. He stepped into the light before he spun around and looked into the mirror.
His eyes widened when his mouth twisted into a nasty smile. His chest was ripped open with a gaping hole that was glowing green with the energy rock in it and the prosthetic element fused into his being, with a huge thump echoing in his ears. Another thump echoed through his ears and he placed his fingers onto the glowing rock, slowly running them down it and his eyes widened when he breathed heavily.
This was not the best situation in the world to be in and his teeth gritted as he studied the situation around him.
Who did this to him, that was what he wanted to know? He reached over before he picked up the mirror and smashed it down on the floor. The broken glass flew in every direction as he stepped over it on the floor. He ran his hands down his body, feeling the veins throbbing.
They gave a green glow, he could see that much and Corben walked over, when he saw the newspaper clippings of the blur hanging on the wall around him. He reached up and grabbed one of the surgical tools. He hoisted it up over his head before he smashed it into the wall with fury. His teeth twisted into a sadistic smirk.
The metal pieces of the tool dropped down.
He wanted to do the same thing to the Blur, all he wanted to do was wrap his hands around the throat of the Blur and strangle him down to his knees. He wanted to get his revenge, he was elevated up above the people of the city as someone who was a savior but he was nothing compared to them all. He had to feel the same pain that he felt.
Revenge was first and foremost in his mind, it was something that drove most men and it was something that drove John Corben to move forward with his next move, he could taste what was going to happen almost, he wanted to accomplish something that would bring him some level of clarity.
Revenge on the Blur, yes that was the ticket, the blood of this false savior would rain across the streets of Metropolis. He twisted another tool in his hand before he watched it drop to the ground, clattering to the ground. It was bent in his hand, bent as the twisted mind of John Corben turned into after the process. He stepped forward and waited for the next move.
The games would begin in a matter of moments and he walked into the city. He had a sense that the Blur was around.
"Show yourself!" he yelled out into the distance but there was no answer.
That was fine, he'd make the Blur answer for all he's done.
Clark Kent stood in the shadows, not moving, not blinking, and most certainly not speaking. He embraced a part of himself that he failed to embrace. Yet, despite all of that, he lacked the ability to fly. Jor-El and Lara assured him that he would have the same abilities that Kara would, that the others had, but much to his frustration.
He was far weaker than all of them and that was unacceptable.
"Hey, it's about time you showed up!"
Lois turned up when she stepped in front of Clark and the two of them stared each other down. He looked at her, this was not the time and he was not ready to have this conversation. In fact, he was not sure if he was going to be ever ready for this conversation. Lois stared Clark down but he nodded his head slightly towards her and Lois's mouth snapped into a frustrated expression.
"Really, after all of this time, that's all you got, that?"
Lois nodded her head like Clark's did and Clark responded with another stiff nod of his head.
"Clark, I really don't want to do this but you've forced me to…."
Lois never finished her sentence when Clark scooped up Lois and rushed her away at super speed. She could barely react that what he did, he caught her completely off guard. Grudgingly, if she had not been so flipping annoyed but what he did, she would give him a lot of credit. He got her, he really did. Yet, he carried her off and she was set down on the ground on her feet.
Lois was about to say something but Clark spun around and ran off.
"Oh no you don't Clark Kent, you're not getting away that easily," Lois stated when she pushed herself back and flew in the sky towards him.
Lois spun around when she looked at him. He could not have given her the slip that easily, that would be an insult to her and her abilities and that was not something that she took lightly.
"Problem Lois?"
Lana turned up beside Lois, biting down on her lip nervously and Lois looked over her shoulder, her expression becoming quite serious when she nodded.
"Yeah there's a problem alright, I've found Clark," Lois responded when she pointed him out or at least where she thought that she would go.
"We should have a link where we could follow him…damn it, how is he blocking us out?" Lana swore as she threw her hands into the air.
"Some Grade-A Superdickery, he wouldn't even say Hello," Lois responded before she turned around. She had never been more frustrated, even though the time where he press pass was misspelled "Louis Lame" came pretty close. This threw her frustration in an entirely new level and she moved forward.
Raya turned up beside Lois and Lana.
"So, you're the expert on Kryptonians, what happened to Clark?" Lana asked when she looked at Raya.
"You've known him for longer than I have," Raya answered, throwing the ball back into their court but Lois was not one to be frustrated that easily.
"No, but you should know what's happening to him, you're the one who took him to the fortress," Lois fired back before she peered through her eyes and tried to focus her X-Ray vision on Clark. One super powered individual should not be hard enough to find although one might be surprised when they put their minds to what happened.
"Jor-El restored him to life and Clark decided to go upon his training," Raya answered when she spun her head around.
Lana had to cut in. "I don't think that Clark was ready."
"No, I disagreed as well but that was what Kal-El wanted," Raya answered in a delicate voice.
Before this conversation could go any further than it did, there was a gravitational pull that brought the trio down to the ground. They felt an energy force like they had never felt before but Lana's eyes widened when she saw the green glow.
"Kryptonite, that's….that's impossible," Lana breathed as she felt the breath leave her when she dropped down to the ground.
Lana, Lois, and Raya dropped like flies, their bodies weakened, but they tried to push themselves up to the ground.
"Oh, I think it's…very possible," Lois grumbled when she tried to push herself back up to the ground.
"But, that's impossible because Harry cured us against it," Lana responded with a pained gasp, she remembered it and she knew that the cure was still in her. In fact, Lana could feel the cure still inside her, but for some reason, there was something in that particular chunk of Kryptonite that negated it. She tried to lift her head up but she saw the imposing figure walk towards her.
"Corben," Lois breathed, when she felt her throat close up in the agony. She sensed this rock wasn't like any of the meteors she ever encountered before. "What the hell happened to you?"
Corben's expression turned towards Lois, a half remorseful and half angered expression filled his eyes. Lana tried to turn over, this did not add up, the Kryptonite should not and did not harm her normally. She tried to go after him, but she found herself collapsing like a drowned kitten.
"You're not the Blur, but you'd do given this rock took you down," Corben responded when he reached down.
A blur shot out of nowhere and grabbed Corben around the waist, before leaping him up into the air and pushing him up into the sky away from Lois, Lana, and Raya.
"What just happened?" Lois asked when she blinked.
Raya offered a slight smile, pained as it might be. "I think that the person who we were supposed to protect…."
"Protected us," Lana concluded before she turned around, feeling the energy of her body returning to full strength, along with the healing glow and the warm embrace of a yellow sunlight. Lana Lang had to admit that was a liberating feeling even if her knees started to buckle a little bit. She wondered who enhanced the Kryptonite, because it should not have been able to affect them at all. Some kind of magical argumentation was at work, she was sure of it.
Meanwhile on the roof, Corben landed with a sickening crack, his knees knocking together when he threw his head up. He watched his enemy, move around him, circling him, before lead pellets were flung at him.
"What's that supposed to do?"
There was no response from the Blur, rather he blocked enough of the radiation to dive forward. A large fist impacted him the side of the head and rattled him, before two hands hoisted up Corben and slammed him down.
"You have strength, but I think you've met your match," Corben responded as the core his chest heated up before he blasted a large surge of radiation towards his enemy.
Clark staggered, his head was dizzy and he nearly fell off the roof, but Corben grabbed him around the back of the neck, before pulling him into a huge punch to the ribs. Another huge punch to the ribs rocked Clark, and several more drilled him as his knees buckled to his side.
"Does the cat have your tongue?" Corben asked before he tried to flip Clark off the roof.
Another figure spend up and a bright white light blasted Corben in the chest. He screamed when his veins heated up, when the second figure pushed him off of the roof and slammed him onto the opposing side.
He lost most of the feeling in his nerves yet somehow he could still feel that. Corben's body racked with immense and burning pain, he started to breathe more heavily and blood splattered down his chest, when it poured from his mouth. The Kryptonite implant ripped from his chest, causing all of the life to drive out of him.
The burning white scythe popped out of Harry's hand and slammed down onto the chest cavity of his enemy. Corben burned when he felt the tender embrace of Death, being dragged into the afterlife. His time was long since up to begin with, the higher ups accepted him into the afterlife completely, even if he was partially there to begin with. He screamed out in pure agony when he was dragged further into the beyond.
Harry spun around, letting out the breath he was holding, he held the piece of Kryptonite in his hand, he felt like live fire. He spun around to face Clark.
Clark turned around without saying a word, rather he zoomed off in the other direction.
"You're welcome," Harry responded, before he inclined his head and shook it a little bit.
'Fucking ingrate,' Harry thought to himself, thinking that he might have to have a talk with Clark's mother if he kept acting like this.
If Clark wanted to act that way, that was really his problem. He moved off without saying a word, without acknowledging the presence of Harry. Harry had far bigger problems then the woes of Clark Kent and him acting like a mopey three year old.
"Someone enhanced this Kryptonite," Harry responded before he turned towards Lily who stood there, a look of confusion on her face that Harry did not buy for a second.
"Accusations don't become you Harry," Lily answered when she eyed it, to be honest, she was interested who did it. "The charm work is amazing, isn't it?"
Harry would have to agree, the charm work was amazing, and he wondered who did it. Suspect number one hovered underneath his nose but given the fact that the higher ups brought countless people back to life, he did wonder. A moment of doubt appeared in his mind. There was someone there that should not be and he was willing to give Lily the benefit of the doubt for now.
"May I see that?" Lily asked but Harry pulled it away.
He was going to be trusting, to an extent but there was a limit to how trusting he was and Harry walked off, with the Kryptonite in his hand. It was something new. Corben would not be coming back, at least not for a very long time and once again, Harry had no idea how he would feel about that. All he knew was that there was something in the palm of his hands.
There were answers, answers that the Kandorians were looking for. They had help and whoever was with them, if they helped them work with the proper charm work, then they could be brought back to life. Harry always thought that as a possibility in the back of his mind and carefully looked up a little bit. There were a lot of problems with what happened and now Harry hoped to piece them together.
'One step at a time,' he thought.
Harry sat in front of the implant and the remains of Metallo, whilst he enjoyed a good puzzle; this was something that stumped him beyond all belief. He cupped his hand to his chin and he kept the eye on the metallic implant. He was able to shield the Kryptonite so it did do no damage.
"So you saw Clark," Kara responded when she walked up towards her husband.
"Yes, I saw him," Harry answered whilst he took a look at the implant, barely able to keep his eyes off of the modified piece of Kryptonite. He studied in fairly intently.
"What did he say?" Kara asked while she crossed her arms and bit down on her lip, before the blonde hair flipped into her face. She waited for Harry to give an answer but she did not have to wait long.
"Nothing," Harry admitted carefully still studying the Kryptonite.
"Nothing?' Kara asked, unable to believe that, actually she could believe it given how Clark was acting.
She might be having a talk with his mother, both of them, if he kept this up.
"Which was amazing because if it wasn't for me, he would be dead," Harry responded before throwing his head back and sighing. "Again."
"He used his powers then?" Kara asked him and Harry's head nodded up and down. She decided to ask the necessary follow up question, even though she was very hacked off about Clark now. She really had no call to take it off on Harry. "He restored them after all."
"He restored them indeed," Harry answered while he continued to tinker with the implant. He had a feeling that if he could find some kind of energy signature in it, before he flickered it over.
So many people could be brought back to life, and not all of them were going to be a happy, joyous reunion. Harry ran a tool over the implant, collecting the sample, before he edged over when he carefully took a moment to consider it. The young mage and Herald of Death stepped over to the Shining Light Foundation computer. The young man carefully put the samples into the computer.
"Analyze," Harry ordered the computer in a flat voice.
The Shining Light Foundation computer began to blink to life and Harry stood back with Kara, waiting for the computer to go to life. The Heralds of Death stood together before the two of them grabbed hands and waited. Karen turned up to watch the computer but remained silent, when the trio of Heralds watched it. There were a few clicks and shifts, before the computer blinked and rattled, before it hummed out a reading.
"The rock from Krypton has been magically engineered not by charm work but through potions," the computer responded to Harry.
"Potions?" Karen asked with widened eyes.
"Yes, Potions," Harry added carefully with a smile crossing over his face, but he allowed everything to register. There was something about this bit of news that gave Harry a great deal of concern but then everything slowly turned to his eyes.
Lily Evans was one of the top students of her year in Potions that was a fact that Harry remembered. Therefore her guilt was pretty much looking stronger by the day.
"We're going to talk to Lily, she should know about this," Kara responded and the three of them ran off but Chloe slumped over the front desk, knocked out.
It took them a moment for them to figure out what happened.
Harry's eyes widened when concern flooded through them, when he grabbed Chloe before he pushed her up. Her breathing was rather shallow when he got her up. The young wizard looked in her face and revived her.
"Sorry, Harry, I….I don't know what happened," Chloe managed when she shuddered a little bit and brought herself back to life.
"Someone knocked you out, that's what happened," Harry responded with a frown before he made Chloe stay still, to check her for any head injuries. After all, she was knocked unconscious.
"As much as I don't want to jump to the worst possible conclusion…."
Chloe cut off Kara immediately when she tried to recall what happened, it was extremely difficult to do so. Her head thumped with the thoughts of what happened but she focused on everything before the blonde bit down on her lips. "I'm….I don't know what to tell you but….it wasn't Lily, she got knocked out, then I got knocked out as well…"
'Well, that adds a new wrinkle,' Harry thought to himself.
Harry punched up the security footage; all he saw was a blur shape and then a pair of green eyes.
"Sinclair," Harry responded as he jumped to what he thought was the most logical conclusion. "It about figures that she has an axe to grind with Lily as much as anyone."
"And who are we rooting for in this situation, prey tell?" Chloe asked when Harry continued to check her for a concussion. "Am I…."
"Sleeping spell, you're good," Harry responded with a smile crossing his face, but he wished he could be a bit happier.
If it was Sinclair, Harry thanked his lucky stars that she was merciful, because she could have just sooner killed Chloe and Lily. Although what she wanted with Lily now, Harry had no idea.
'The glorious war of sisterly rivalry,' Harry thought to himself, with a shrug.
Indeed, there was something rotten that Harry could not put his finger on and he hoped to figure out what that was soon. He analyzed the metal implant and kept it under a lock and key. It might serve as insurance later. The entire Kandorians thing was leading to one roller coaster ride after another and the young wizard carefully kept his eyes turned forward, hoping that he could make some sense out of this entire mess. Even if everything lacked any sense, Harry wanted to get a slight semblance of it.
Still, the location that they were part of was not the main Shining Light Foundation facility, they expanded in the meantime and therefore all of the security spells were not up properly. So the person that attacked, whether it be Sinclair or anyone else, she caught them with their pants down. Harry applauded them for their efforts as they took advantage of a window of opportunity that they would not otherwise have.
Now Harry wondered in the back of his mind and Kara sensed his wondering.
"You think it was staged?"
Harry paused when he placed his hand on his chin.
"I don't know Kara, I really don't know," Harry responded when Megan popped up. "Hey, Megan, what can I do for you?"
"Tess Mercer is on the phone Harry, she wants to talk to you about the….project," Megan answered, biting down on her lip in confusion. Kara, Karen, and Chloe were the only three people who knew about the project other than Harry and Tess.
"I'll take it, thanks Megan," Harry answered before he walked down the corridor and took the call. "We have a problem that might compromise the situation."
"What kind of a problem?" Tess asked Harry over the phone.
"The problem is that we have a rogue chess piece who isn't working as it should," Harry answered double checking to make sure there was no one listening. "And she's escaped."
"I'll make sure I have my people keep an eye out for her, this is exactly how I feared this was going to happen," Tess responded when she watched. "And she's playing the Kandorians for saps."
"I can find her at any time, I just need to know what the game of the other one is," Harry whispered carefully. "So far, she's on the move, which means I can't act. Not putting innocent people in the crossfire."
"You're still in for protecting the world," Tess answered in a cryptic tone of voice.
"I always have been," Harry answered when he paused. "Even if the traveler might shift from his purpose, given recent events."
"The contingency is in place," Tess responded before she paused. "For them all."
"Don't pull the trigger until we're ready for it," Harry responded while he took a moment to close his eyes and think about it. He hoped that everything work out in the end. He was playing with fire to begin with but he hoped that he could avert the future. "We still need to know what the Traveler's loyalty's lie but if he shifts from his purpose, then we will have to treat him like any other threat. With what I've learned and how he's been acting, he may not be reliable."
"Understood," Tess responded when she clicked off.
Harry hoped that it would never turn out to be that but after the glimpses he saw in Kara and Karen's memories, he was not taking any chances whatsoever. It was hell on Earth and all because of Clark. It couldn't be this way but it was, and he hated to really go any further than this.
He would wait and see if it would pan out that way before jumping to conclusions before he made contingency plans. The way Clark acted lately, he did himself no favors.
Alura In-Ze popped up, carefully edging from the shadows, she heard the whispers of the bodies being stolen. She already forged a human identity, by borrowing the credentials of one of doctors walking around the building. It was time where she figured everything out, when she decided where everyone stood and who she could trust. Trust, that was a big factor and a sticking point to say the very least, could she trust people?
She really hoped so because if she could not, then there was going to more problems than she ever imagined. The blonde zipped off to the side and carefully edged towards the bodies that had been returned.
There were the tell-tale signs of experiments, the Kandorians, whoever was behind this, worked on these people, took them apart, and put them back together the wrong way. She lightly brushed a DNA sample from the body of one of them and placed it into a bag. She wanted to make sure that she knew what they were doing and if necessary put a stop to it as soon as she could. She pushed herself back against the wall.
Alura heard footsteps which made her shift, albeit a little bit and she felt the tension rise, it cut be cut with a knife. The footsteps got even closer before she edged behind a set of cabinets in the corner. Her hands shook but she made sure to peer behind the cabinets, biting down on her lip when the blonde shifted herself.
There was a large clatter of approaching figures and she saw two people she recognized as Medical officers, they were on the fields of Kandor. They gave blood.
"Zod wants us to blend in, get more living samples, before he makes his move."
Alura reached behind them and took them out carefully. Her fingers pressed a nerve ending on the back of their neck and they dropped down to the ground, their knees slumped to the side before they collapsed. This gave Alura the opening she needed to search them for anything.
She found the portable computer and escaped, she had the information that she need. On this device, there was information on it what the Kandorians were up to. She eyed it carefully; it would have to be heavily encrypted. She would expect nothing less from Zod.
However, where there was a will, there was a way. Alura would have to find the way.
Rachel staggered a little bit, her magic was all over the place when her lessons finally resumed with Harry after the six week break the pair of them had. That fact was not gone unnoticed by Harry when he took a look at Rachel, who turned with a shudder and a long breath when she watched him.
"I've noticed that there is something about your form that seems a little bit off," Harry remarked when he looked at Rachel, who tossed her head back and turned to him.
"Guess I'm having an off day," she responded before she spun around, before taking a moment to watch and focus.
Harry reached forward and grabbed her around the wrist before he slowly turned her around,
"Are you sure you're having an off day, Rachel?" Harry asked when he brushed his hand against hers. This caused shivers to course down her spine when his fingers brushed against her wrist. "Or are you thinking about something that happened before we left?"
Rachel gave a shiver when she thought about what happened, oh yes she was thinking about what happened on that night. The sensations that she felt when Harry kissed her, perhaps on a whim, but she could not deny how nice that kiss felt.
"We could….we could really pretend that it didn't happen," Rachel offered when she eyed Harry a little bit, tentative and biting down on her lip. She was headstrong and confident in her studies, so this brought up a new side of her.
"Or you could explore a new possibility?" Harry asked when he ran his hands down her hair, causing goose bumps to appear on her arms. She shuddered a little bit; this warmth going through her body was not like anything she was ever to deal with before.
"My powers…."
"Shh," Harry whispered when he put a finger to her lips and this silenced her. "You could think, or you could feel. I know which one is the better one for me. Just feel it Rachel."
Harry slipped her cloak off to reveal her wearing a one piece leotard that wrapped around her curvy frame and showed the round texture of her buttock, her legs, and he saw her nipples poke out from underneath her top with the sensations of arousal. She closed her eyes.
"Feel," he repeated when she sat back, instinctively spreading her legs and he reached between her legs, when he pulled back the material of her. "Let everything go and feel."
She slowly let go of her inhibitions.
Smut/Lemon Begins.
-PROFILE-
Smut/Lemon Ends.
Several rounds later, and many pieces of destroyed furniture due to magical discharge later, Rachel and Harry laid spent on the floor among the debris.
"And I think all of our lessons should end this way," Rachel concluded when she rested her head on Harry's chest. A smile spread across her face.
To Be Continued in the Next Chapter "Cure."
