Chapter Seventeen "Breather".

"The grand arising is this Thursday," Alura remarked as she leaned back in a chair in the meeting area at the Shining Light Foundation and tapped her fingers across the table. She spent some time with her daughter and son-in-law, she guessed for lack of a better term. Although it still vexed her that she had a daughter and one with Zor-El as well.

It was fortunate that Kara turned out rather well and nothing like her father. Not to mention she chose a handsome specimen of a husband. That put a smile on Alura's face. She clasped her hands together with a bright smile etched upon her face, happy to be alive and happy to get a second chance on life.

"Yes, it is," Kara agreed as Harry placed his arm around her.

Alura's impression of Harry was mixed at first. She was a bit intrigued that Harry had a collective, granted it was not all too uncommon, but it still was weird. There was a small amount of maternal instincts that caused her to realize that she might not have wanted her daughter to be a part of this but there was a larger part of her that longed to be a part of this collective. It was a really weird dynamic to be honest. The blonde thought about it long and hard and tried not to be too obvious of the looks she snuck towards her daughter's husband.

She was proud that her daughter was a high ranking member of the Collective, in fact the highest ranked member, the Alpha.

"Do you think that you'll be able to…." Alura stated before she paused and tried to figure out the right words to speak. The blonde hummed as her eyes shut and she felt Harry's hand brush against hers. This caused shivers to go down her spine but she recovered fairly quickly. "Do you think that you'll be able to stop Zod from doing what he plans on doing?"

"I know what he's going to do, I knew the moment he designed the towers," Harry informed her in a crisp tone of voice, determination dancing through his green eyes.

He knew it but he had to find a way to stop it without being detected, if he could. It was going to be a tricky process but challenges ruled most people, so Harry was going to really step forward and take this one by the horns. The Herald of Death understood that he was playing a rather careful game, not to mention a fairly dangerous one.

"The Kandorians will hopefully find a place in their new world, although they are on a strange world where they don't understand much of anything," Harry remarked as he had a far off expression and look in his eyes.

He knew the feeling, oh believe him, Harry knew the feeling. It was one of those stirrings of dread that visited him many times through his life and would visit him many times in the future. The wizard closed his eyes, threw his head back, and offered a long sigh at the situation that presented itself. He absent mindedly drummed his fingers on the table.

"You sympathize with them, don't you?" Alura asked and Kara smiled.

"Harry would because he's been in that role of an outsider looking into a world that would judge him for being a freak," Kara remarked as she wrapped her arm around her husband. "But we're going to make sure that all of the Kandorians get everything that is coming to them and then some."

"Let's hope so," Harry chimed, he did hope that everything would turn out for the better for those who deserved it, although there was still the matter of what might happen when Zod saw that his tower did not work as intended.

Giving them the powers might appease them but Harry feared opening a certain Pandora's box that he might not be able to shut once opened.

'Harry?'

'Yes, M'gann, what is it?' Harry asked her through the bond link.

'Some of the Kandorians are here to see you,' M'gann thought back and Harry smiled.

'Tell them that I'll be back down in five minutes,' Harry projected back and M'gann mentally agreed.

'Will do,' she thought back.

Harry smiled, he thought that he'd best take care of this, it should not take too long after all.

"Talk to both of you later," Harry responded as he gave Kara a kiss goodbye and Alura gave him a tight hug which Harry returned eagerly. The two of them lingered in the hug before Alura let go with reluctance.

Harry slipped off which left Alura and Kara alone for the time being. Kara turned to Alura slightly, a calculating expression on her face.

"So what do you think of Harry?" Kara asked Alura, trying to lead her mother on to embracing her feelings sooner rather than later. If Kara had her way, she would be added to the collection sooner rather than later.

Alura flushed a little bit but tried to remain rather bold and proud. "He's….he's rather remarkable, isn't he?"

"I've noticed that," Kara commented curtly as she could almost the sense the thoughts manifesting from Alura, it was just a matter of bringing them out and letting them completely fester.


Harry made his way down the elevator and saw several of the Kandorians waiting there. Vala was one of the ones who waited for him.

"Harry, it's good to see you again," Vala commented in an excited voice. "Faora sends her regards but….she has to help oversee the construction of the RAO Solar Towers."

"I know, we want the project to go off without a hitch," Harry answered as he leaned against the wall but Vala watched him, an appraising and dare Harry say it, almost nervous expression crossing her face. He decided to get to the bottom as of why she was acting like this. "Is there something that I can do for you?"

That question got Vala's attention but she tried to keep her expression mostly serious and not try and be distracted even though the answers that she had could get a bit seedy regarding what she wanted Harry to do for her.

"It's just that….some of us are worried about Zod and worry that he might be a bit obsessed about getting his powers back," Vala stated in a whisper as she peered over her shoulder, almost afraid that Zod was about to come around the corner to accuse them of treachery. "After Jor-El was killed, Zod has barely said two words to many of us, only giving orders to his inner circle."

Harry knew that Zod and Jor-El were friends, for lack of a better term, but it was almost like that Zod took the death hard. Or he was plotting, yes, that was it, he was plotting.

"Zod….well you all know him much better than I do," Harry remarked in a slightly evasive tone of voice.

"But surely you must have some insight on him."

Harry wished he had more insight than he did on Zod but so far there was nothing more than many questions and not enough answers. The fact that young Zod was reminding him of young Tom Riddle sent all kinds of alarm bells in the back of his head. And that would make Jor-El, Albus Dumbledore, the man who allowed General Zod to happen.

If Zod made one wrong move, Harry would have no choice but do the one thing that he knew might not endear himself to the Kandorains. Most frustratingly, so far Zod was making all of the right moves and every time it looked like he did something seedy, he had an out to explain himself.

"I've only met him less than a dozen times, not enough to form an opinion but I guess we'll all know what Zod does, when he does it," Harry offered in a diplomatic tone of voice.

"Surely you can protect us from him?"

Again that was a statement that Harry was not fond of as it put an amount of pressure on him that he was not ready to deal with. The wizard's expression twisted to a slight smile before he turned towards them.

"I'll see what I can do, but I'm not sure if it's Zod that you need protecting from," Harry said, once again his statement was kept neutral as possible. "The Kandorians might have made some extremely powerful enemies and you need to watch out for them."

Harry was not meaning to make a threat, just merely warning them.


Clark stood on the edge of the farm; it had been less than a month since his father, in the flesh, came to see him. And it was less than a month since his father, in the flesh, had been taken down in a grisly murder. The Last Son of Krypton turned his head around and looked up. For once, Lois, Lana, and Raya gave him a bit of space although the space was not too much. He had a feeling one or all of them were around.

That was just as well, he guessed. Given the amount of trouble that he got into, that might put him on his toes and always expected someone to come from behind the corner. At least that's what Clark imagined as he threw his head back into the air and offered a long sigh. He tapped his feet on the ground before he looked into the sky.

There were times where he thought that he had everything figured out but he was wrong, completely wrong. And now he had to suffer the consequences of being wrong. His mind was going a million miles a minute and showed no signs of slowly up at all.

"So, Clark."

Clark turned around and saw Alicia standing there, nervously. She shifted on her feet as she watched Clark, giving him a tentative smile.

"You seem pretty jumpy," Alicia commented as she stepped forward.

"Just thinking," Clark responded as he looked into the sky. "All of those people coming back from the grave and now….it's just hard to think about."

"I know, I'm still wrapping my head around it," Alicia admitted as she reached to the side, hoping that she was not being a bit too pushy. "I mean one minute I die and the next minute I'm in the middle of the street. It was like I didn't die, I was teleported through the time."

Clark paused, the thoughts of teleportation caused him to remember concerns he had, concerns about the Book of RAO and where it was. Alura mentioned that it could be used to create a new Krypton. The only solace that Clark had was that Zod had no idea where it was either.

That solace was only going to last a short time, that was for sure and Clark wondered if it would be the calm before the storm.

"Hello…Clark isn't it?"

That caused Alicia to jump up and even Clark turned around a bit quickly.

There he stood, bold as brass and Clark stared him back down.

"Who are you?" Clark asked, thinking that ignorance was the best policy.

Zod's face contorted into a smile, he thought that Kal-El looked quite natural with that expression of ignorance etched upon his face. Major Dru-Zod was no fool and he understood that the son of Jor-El knew precisely who he was speaking to. The young blonde woman next to him looked confused, she had not been let in on a lot.

Ignorance was something Zod could utilize.

"My name's Zod, I'm old friend of your father's….your birth father," Zod added as if he thought that it explained everything. He took a moment to look Clark over before he nodded appraisingly. "I must say, you have his eyes."

"What are you doing here?" Clark asked Zod and the army major strode forth, a smile on his face.

"Where are my manners?" Zod asked in a faux polite tone of voice as he tapped his fingers. "I've heard of your father's tragic demise, again you know the nature of how we have gotten here. I must say, I never thought that he would die in such a way but….there was a snake that we needed to exterminate and I regret to say that we did not do it soon enough."

Clark responded as he watched Zod carefully.

"The rather troubling thing is that Harry Potter could have prevented Jor-El's death, but he chose not to," Zod continued as he watched Clark for his reaction. "He has the ability to bring people back from the dead or stop them from dying but he chooses not to."

Zod remained rather calm and crisp.

"You must trust Harry enough to be in this business partnership with him," Clark said defensively but Zod just offered a sad expression, as if he thought that Clark was mentally impaired for some reason.

"I am not in it with him because I trust him, no I'm in this business relationship with him so I can protect the Kandorians from him," Zod informed him as he studied Clark. "His world was destroyed but I believe that it was by his own doing. He fancies himself as being a god."

Clark watched Zod, allowing these words to sink in. There was some kind of doubt settling in his mind but he shook his head to clear it.

"I have something for you," Zod continued as he stepped forward. He had his scouts distract those annoying watchdogs of the Son of Jor-El. That way he could step in and talk to him without being disturbed by their meddling. "I couldn't help but notice that you're feeling stifled by your minders."

"They're here to protect me," Clark remarked and Alicia remained silent, she didn't know enough about the situation to feel comfortable with getting involved. Although she got a sense that something bad was about to happen and she braced herself for it.

"I believe humans refer to your condition as Stockholm Syndrome," Zod whispered in Clark's ear. "Where you start to sympathize with your captors, with your jailers. You've been made to think that they actually have your best interests in mind. It's quite sad honestly but that's to be suspected. They're spying on you, reporting your every move back to Harry."

Clark felt conflicted; he did not know what to believe anymore.

"Anyway, your minders have been led off somewhere, a crisis has been created but I think we have full faith in their ability to handle it," Zod continued as he stepped forward before he presented the medal. "Your father….well this belonged to him, and he wished for you to have it."

"I wasn't under the impression that you and my father were on speaking terms," Clark commented in a rough voice.

"Well, I don't know you've heard, but we were close friends," Zod told him as he stepped forward and locked his eyes onto the Last Son of Krypton's. "We were closer than brothers even."

Zod leaned forward before he watched the expression on the young man's face and he put the pin on Clark's shirt.

"There, it fits you perfectly," Zod added as he turned around without another word. "I wish I could sit around and stay but I doubt that your minders would approve."

"They don't…."

"What do you mean they don't, because I've heard differently," Zod remarked as he turned back around with a smile as he kept his eyes firmly locked onto Clark before he spun around once more and walked off.

"He did something to that pin, you know," Alicia piped up as she watched Clark and tried to reach forward to remove it but Clark grabbed her hand.

"No, I'm pretty sure it's safe, he said it belonged to my father," Clark stated in an assertive voice as his eyes flashed for a moment, red.

"Alright, but you should….let Harry check that out or something," Alicia warned him as she watched him.

That did not improve Clark's mood.

"It always comes back to Harry, because he always has the answers for everything," Clark said in a hostile manner as he stared down Alicia, fire burning from his eyes.

There was something in Clark's eyes that Alicia recognized from before. She induced it before so she should recognize it.

"That's Red….that's the red rock, there's a piece of red rock in that medal," Alicia breathed but Clark looked at her with a disbelieving expression..

"Don't be absurd, I'm cured of Kryptonite, it doesn't affect me anymore," Clark told her as he spun around. "I don't even know why I'm sticking around here. If Lois, Lana, and Raya want to talk to me, they can come find me. Then I can see where their loyalties truly lie."

Clark spun around and he sped off but no sooner did he leave, then Lana showed up. The two stood face to face to each other, tension flickering through each other's expression.

"Alicia," Lana stated in a voice that was cool as ice.

She was alone, on the farm, with Clark, that was something that caused alarm bells to ring in Lana's mind.

"What are you doing here?" Lana asked her, almost demanding her to answer.

"I'm visiting Clark," Alicia stated as she kept cool and calm.

Lois dropped down and she saw the hostility spreading. Raya did as well but she noticed something as well.

"Where is Kal?" Raya asked and Alicia paused before she jumped in with an explanation.

Lana, needless to say, flipped her shit.

"You….were here and you let Zod walk up to him and pin a medal on him!"

"Hey, it's not in my job description to babysit Clark, he was the one who allowed Zod to pin a medal to him," Alicia responded in a defensive tone of voice as she glared back at Lana. The two given some past misunderstandings did not get along too well.

"Okay, okay, Alicia, Clark makes….decisions that aren't the best," Lois stated as she trailed off and stopped herself from saying that Clark made decisions that were sometimes "utterly retarded." "We'll figure this out."

"Don't worry, we'll find Clark," Lana said after she mentally counted to ten as she closed her eyes and tried to find the mental link.

All she got was a ringing in her ears and Lana dropped to the ground, clutching the side of her head.

"I'll search for him, Zod obviously is trying to subvert Kal over to his cause, take care of her," Raya stated to Lois who nodded as she nervously watched Lana twitch on the ground.

The ringing in Lana's ears did not subside for some time.


"She's out there," Harry whispered as he looked out Chloe's office window in the Shining Light Foundation as he placed his hand on Chloe's hand. The blonde took a moment, suppressing the urge to throw her hands into the heaven and scream out loud.

"I know and….you think that they're being masked by your double?" Chloe asked Harry and the wizard inclined his head with a nod before he threw his head back with a long sigh.

Clara sat in the background and wondered if she should say anything. She decided that she might as well.

"She's rather skilled isn't she? And frustratingly so."

"You know her?" Harry asked as he turned around to face Clara.

Clara bit down on her lip carefully and turned her head around before she decided to come forward with more of an explanation. The cat was already out of the bag so to speak. She decided to throw all caution to the wind.

"Alexandra Potter is her name, she's…she's the Herald of Death of our world," Clara informed them in a brisk voice. "But you already knew that."

"I figured that out a long time ago," Harry confirmed to her as he leaned forward and looked in her in the eye. "As are you."

"Yes, I am," Clara admitted as she bit down on her lip and threw her head back with a sigh. "I guess there's no hiding anything from you. Do you know how many times people go to the restroom a day?"

"Yes," Harry answered with a smirk as the young Kryptonian watched him through widened eyes as Chloe snickered. "But yes, I….given that I'm a Herald of Death, I can sense others that are like me, just like I'm sure you sensed me when you arrived here."

"Yes," Clara answered before she ignored her urgings and wondered how much she should inform Harry of. "Alex….she was the best in the world at what she did but there were times where she played by her own set of rules. She wasn't someone who you'd want against you, that's for sure."

"What did I do to her then?" Harry asked and Chloe could not resist saying something.

"You know there are times where people seem to just have it in for you because you simply exist," Chloe told him without missing a beat but Clara cut her off.

"I'm sure you didn't do anything to her, except maybe step into the way of her goals," Clara responded as she tapped her feet and swaying her head before she closed her eyes and opened them back up. "Which is interesting because you're the one and the same so you're going to have similar goals."

'Just like playing chess against yourself,' Kara thought to Harry through the mental link.

'Yeah remember all the trouble you had pinning me down,' Karen thought through the link.

'Vividly,' Kara thought back to her.

'But it was worth it in the end,' Harry projected back to both of his fellow Heralds. 'Anyway, we're getting off the subject.'

"Oh, this is going to be a headache," Harry stated as he put hands on his head.

There was a message that appeared on his desk and someone swooped in, before going out.

"And speaking of headaches," Harry stated in a dry tone of voice as he tapped his hand on the side of the letter and opened it.

"What did Kal do now?" Clara asked in an exasperated tone of voice.

"What makes you think it's Clark?" Chloe asked Clara with a raised eyebrow.

"What makes you think it isn't Clark?" Clara fired back and Chloe's eyebrows raised before she nodded her head.

"Point well taken."

Harry opened up the nod and read it. He nodded slowly, once, twice, three times. The wizard slammed his hands down on the desk and turned around before he walked off, without a word.

Chloe raised an eyebrow before she picked up the note.

"Oh my God," Chloe breathed as she looked at the note, seeing the disastrous statement. "It appears that our favorite Kandorian decided to pin a medal on Clark."

"And Clark allowed him," Clara remarked as she threw her head back wanting to introduce her head into desk. "Why don't we just traffic him around in a short bus and be done with it?"

"Now, Clara, Clark isn't that bad," Chloe responded as she tried to find a way to defend Clark but Clara's eyebrows raised before she let in one breath and let out another breath before she was about ready to slam her head down onto the desk.

"Words fail me, as intelligence fails Kal," Clara stated drylyl as she stepped out. "That fucking idiot, I swear, he's not me."

Clara flew out the window to go and track down her double before he did something stupid.

Chloe crossed her arms and began to click her way through the satellite scans, the Shining Light Foundation upgraded. With any luck she should be able to find if anyone popped up. The blonde began to shift through the images and tried to pinpoint the tell-tale signs of magic.

'Okay, Miss Potter, you've messed with the wrong person now,' Chloe thought as she tried to twist the knobs and zero in to see if she could pinpoint anything, a footprint, a hair, anything that should be where it should not be.

Outside, Harry wanted to slam his head or likely Clark's against something rather hard and blunt over and over again. He sensed that Clara already moved off and searched for her brother.

"So, do you have an idea?"

"You're his keeper, you tell me," Harry said curtly as he saw Lois standing outside. "And this is….this is really one thing where we can't fault Clark on."

"Alicia mentioned to me that Zod's been feeding Clark lies and misinformation about you," Lois stated and Harry did not say a damn word. The expression on his face was chilling to say the very least. Lois could feel the Artic blast coming in from his expression and she swore she was about to receive a very strong case of hypothermia. "And…something tells me you know."

"I know that Zod's been telling me the same things about Clark, so it's nice to know that he's stirring the pot," Harry responded as he placed his hand on the wall and sighed. "I can't help but think that this is where it begins."

"What begins?" Lois asked and Harry turned around as Kara showed up to be the one to speak.

"The beginning of the end, the day where Zod takes over all and Clark betrays Harry," Kara interjected. "If I may hazard a guess, it could be because Clark betrays Harry, realizing that Zod plays him a step too late, and betrays Zod and both die."

"And there's no way to prevent this?" Lois asked after a second.

"There is, I think but we got to be careful," Kara answered as she turned around. "We don't know what the exact flashpoint is for this."

'The towers,' Karen thought to them.

'The towers,' Kara agreed and Harry turned around.

'In the end, I know what I have to do incase Clark and Zod get out of line,' Harry thought as he spun around. He had a contingency plan to subdue both of them should worse come to worse.

The only solace Harry had for now was that Clark did not do anything brazenly stupid and attack him.


Harry was back inside his office at the Shining Light Foundation, thinking about all of the things that he had to do. Clark had found some way to mask his signature, which meant that Zod had some help. The dark haired Herald of Death was not about to rip the world apart for some kind of wild goose chase to track down the wayward Last Son of Krypton.

He tapped his fingers on the side of the desk deep in thought.

"Busy night I take it?"

Harry turned around and saw a young woman in her early twenties standing there beside her. She had blonde hair and striking blue eyes that framed her face. She wore a white top and a black skirt that hugged her hips, along with her legs that stretched on forever. Harry caught a glimpse of her panties as she shifted, black high heeled boots that covered her feet.

"I figured I'd blend in," Lara commented as she stepped forward and moved to the other side of Harry's desk, leaning forward to show a hint of her cleavage. "So Harry, do you think that I've done a good job at blending in?"

"You've done a great job," Harry told her as he saw her and Lara smiled before she sat down on the seat next to him.

"I figured that I would," Lara remarked as she respectfully looked away at what Harry was doing. "The Fortress was able to upload my future consciousness into this body and give me Kryptonian abilities. She was sadly beyond help, brain dead from the attack, so this was the only way to salvage her, although there are bits of my younger consciousness still active in here"

"The Fortress can give the clones Kryptonian abilities?" Harry asked Lara, alarm going through his eyes.

Lara grabbed his shoulder and squeezed it in a reassuring manner.

"Well the Fortress did, before I collapsed it," Lara answered as she pointed significantly to the crystal that was tied to her neck, it glinted blue. "I figured since my son is not acting in his most sound mind, the Fortress was not needed. If he needs to know anything, I can tell him."

"So what about Jor-El?" Harry asked to Lara but the blonde smiled as she leaned forward and placed an arm around Harry.

"Merely an echo that had way too high of an opinion of himself," Lara commented in a light tone of voice. "He's still….well he's retreated back to the caves. It's not like he can do much more, given you and Kara removed his control."

"So Kal did not return to the Fortress?" Harry asked.

Immediately Lara felt some form of dread wash over her.

"What did my son do now?" she asked in a slow and deliberate tone of voice as she kept her eyes on Harry, not blinking.

"How much time to you have?" Harry asked and Lara threw her head back before she sighed.

"Is it honestly that bad?" Lara asked him as she bit down on her lip rather nervously.

"He's taken something from Zod and it's….."

"I'm pretty sure Zod didn't do anything but stir up Kal's insecurities that were already there," Lara stated as she placed her hands on the back of Harry's neck. Harry turned around offering her a raised eyebrow as she started to rub the back of his neck slowly. "You look like you're under a lot of stress, and since it's my son who is to blame for it, perhaps I should do something to relieve it."

Harry could not believe this was happening, okay, he could believe it was happening. Lara rubbed the back of his neck and pressed her breasts against his back, with a smile on her face.

"You know how many times Jor-El and I have made love?" Lara asked him as she continued to rub Harry's neck and shoulders, making sure her breasts teasingly pressed against the young wizard's back. She decided to answer that question. "Only one, if one wants to get technical, with the conception of Kal-El. And it took a lot of….aides to get that done."

Lara continued to rub Harry's neck as he closed his eyes. Just like she was skilled by hitting all of the right spots to cause pain, she was also skilled enough to stimulate all of the right spots to cause pleasure, so much pleasure in fact.

"I loved Jor-El, in the sense that he provided for me and never mistreated me," Lara breathed as she rubbed the back of his neck. "Questionable as some of his actions might be, he was noble in some ways. Unfortunately he has passed his worst, most bullheaded qualities onto his son."

Lara pressed her hands on Harry's chest.

"I'm sure those girls will find him eventually, they still haven't realized all of the quirks in their power set but I'm not about to spell it out for them if they're too dim to read between the lines," Lara stated as she threw one leg over Harry and straddled his lap. "The point is Harry, I saw what you did to Kara in the fortress."

"That was only a small taste of what we get up to," Harry informed her as he put his hands on her bare waist, feeling her flesh. The blonde reared her head back as Harry cupped her ass, and Lara squirmed against him. "I know what you want."

"Yes, I downloaded myself into this body, my younger self obviously had an attraction towards you as a strong man who could give her everything that she desired," Lara stated licking her lips as she leaned forward and pressed her nose against Harry's. "And I've noticed that you are skilled. You have a twelve inch penis and you know what to do with it."

Lara unbuttoned Harry's shirt to reveal his chiseled abs and chest and she ran her hands down his toned muscles, a smile on her face.

"And I feel like I need to have a taste of what a real man is like," Lara breathed in his ear. "I'm sure Alura will agree when she has a chance and there will be others but I want a piece of you now."

Lara slowly unbuttoned her blouse to reveal her generous breasts encased in a blue bra and she placed her hands on Harry's face, before running her hands down his hair, playing with it.

"I need you, Harry," Lara continued as she stripped off her skirt to reveal a lacy set of blue panties.

"And you shall have me," Harry told her as he tipped back Lara on the desk and began to heatedly kiss her. The blonde returned the kisses with passion.

'Well, I knew this was going to happen,' Kara thought to Harry through the bond link. 'Show my aunt a good time, Harry.'

Smut/Lemon Begins.

-PROFILE-

Smut/Lemon Ends.

Lara snuggled on one side of Harry and Kara snuggled on the other side of Harry, both unable to move from where they were. Both of the blondes enjoyed what they experienced.

Harry could have sworn that he heard someone run off as fast as they could in the other direction from outside the door.

'Um Harry, Clark was here and he just bolted from the doors, nearly tearing them off the hinges,' Chloe thought through the bond to Harry. She bit down on her lip in frustration. 'He seems pretty upset.'

'Ah, poor thing,' Karen thought in a mocking coo, but she smiled before nearly singing in triumph. 'I've got the pin.'

'Well that was anticlimactic,' Kara thought in a bored voice but she was so fucked that she did not care.

'You know, I should have realized that Kal might have a minor issue with the fact that we're sleeping together,' Lara responded in a blasé afterthought as she closed her eyes. 'But he doesn't have any right to say anything, although I'm sure he'll brood about it.'

'So what else is new?' Rachel commented in a bored voice through the bond link.

'Harry, Clark's back,' Lois thought through Harry through the backdoor that he gave them.

'And he looks like you just kicked his puppy,' Lana added through the link.

'No, just fucked his mother,' Karen thought, although Lana and Lois did not hear this last part, only the people through the Potter family bond link heard it.

To Be Continued in the Next Chapter.
