Chapter Thirty: In a Flash
Iris calculated all of the problems around her and how to solve them. Given her super speed powers, it gifted her with many abilities, including a super powerful mind.
"Dispose of this annoyance," Grodd stated as he waved towards his mind controlled minions and they charged Iris.
Iris sped out of the way and the two women shocked each other with cattle prods in their attempt to get at her. She knew that these might be drones, but there was more than a few women in the past that went with Grodd willingly. She shuddered at the thought but it still resounded through her mind. The gorilla had a way with the ladies.
"Get her, get her, I'll get them," Grodd remarked.
Iris had to stop Grodd before he attempted another one of his bimonthly "Turn everyone into the world into gorilla schemes." Or at least tried it again, she could not even begin to think of all of the times where he pulled that one out of his hairy ass.
She shuddered once more at the mental image that she gave herself but the fastest woman alive had to focus. She circled her adversaries, creating a wind storm around her and sending her enemies flying to crash against each other.
The impact caused them to fall head over heels onto the ground. Iris bounced off of the walls and sped back and forth as she tried to get in an attack. As well as dodging a series of attacks made by the cattle prod wielding wenches.
Then, Iris saw another man with dark hair come in fast. To the normal eyes, he would be some indistinguishable blur but to her eyes, he appeared clearly, in fact kind of slow from her perspective. Two of the women were taken down, as another woman with dark hair and dark features appeared next to him.
"So, have any idea who these guys are?" Lana asked as she eyed them carefully.
Clark dodged the attempted attack and grabbing the staff from his enemy's hands he hurled her to the ground.
Grodd was not happy with this young man getting involved. It was bad enough that the Flash followed him all the way to Metropolis but now this….this was even more frustrating.
He grinned as he sensed his mind and his thought patterns, they were rather fragmented and easy to manipulate. The other one might have been too but this one was rather weak in the mind.
'Yes, you're mine,' Grodd stated as he locked onto the mind of Clark and pushed himself into it to exert his stronger will power.
Clark dropped to his knees and screamed out loud, as it felt like his head was about to explode from the piercing agony. His eyes closed tightly as his clenched his head in his hands rocking it back and forth as he dropped to his knees.
'No…no,' Clark panted.
'Yes,' Grodd stated as he had his hooks into Clark. 'Stop her, stop the Flash, give me the distraction that I need.'
'Oh….yes, I will,' Clark commented as his mind became completely relaxed and susceptible to suggestion.
His eyes started to glow and heat vision shot towards Iris.
The fastest woman alive dodged the attack and was utterly confused by why this individual attacked her, at least until her mind kicked in and she saw that Grodd was in the background, preparing himself. The redheaded woman rushed around in a blur.
Lana saw that Clark took complete leave of his senses and blocked his heat vision with her hand.
Sure it stung a little bit but given her own invulnerability, she could honestly handle it. The young woman turned her head around slightly to focus and she fired off a beam of heat vision towards Clark.
'Clark wake up, snap out of it, snap out of it!' Lana projected at him frantically but Clark's eyes had a dazed glassy eyed look to them. The young woman was about ready to knock him back but he fought back towards her.
Kara showed up out of the blue and punched Clark in the back of the head at super strength. The impact would have killed a normal man but it caused Clark to snap out of the mind control.
"Cool, I get to punch out another monkey," Karen commented as she popped up next.
Grodd's anger was escalating. "MONKEY!"
Grodd picked up the desk and with a feral rage, threw it at Karen but Harry dove in front of her and waved his hand. The desk exploded into numerous toothpicks and scattered to the ground. The dark haired wizard pushed himself around and levitated the toothpicks into the air before sending them flying as a distraction so he could disarm Grodd's remaining minions.
"Man, that's one pissed off chimp," Lois commented as she turned up.
"CHIMP!" Grodd remarked as he picked up a chair but Lois pulled it out of his hands.
"Hey, Curious George, take a seat," Lois commented as she nailed Grodd in the face with it, as Iris ran around him, kicking up a blinding cloud of dust.
"Yeah, he's a rather prideful primate," Iris commented.
'Well I guess Bart's not the only speedster in town,' Chloe thought to them.
'Much easier on the eyes as well,' Harry responded to her.
'No complaints there, none at all,' Kara remarked.
Grodd flew out the window but he had an escape plan. He saw the Police on the street in front of him having been brought to the lab by the silent alarm and he exerted his mind control over them.
'I want a barricade, surround them,' Grodd commented as he directed the group at them
The police made their way to surround them as Grodd leaped up to the top of the closest building and pulling a laser out of the bag over his shoulder he fired, causing pieces of debris to fall towards the police that were stationary below.
This forced Arcane, Supergirl, and Power Girl to save everyone. The trio of Heralds keeping the rubble from crushing them beneath.
Grodd had slipped away, as well as their mysterious female speedster. This caused everyone to become confused but there was no one who was more confused then Clark. He had a throbbing headache which made him feel like his head had been ripped apart and he turned to face Lois and Lana.
"So….what happened?" Clark asked.
"You blacked out," Lois remarked to him as she pressed her hand onto her cheek and viewed Clark, looking straight into his eyes to check for residual mind control traces.
"Yes, but…what happened?" Clark asked as he rubbed the back of his head.
"We'll tell you about it later," Lois remarked and Clark had a strong desire to attack Harry while he was there, along with Kara and Karen should they get in his way.
If their loyalties did not lie with him, then Clark would have to take them all down. He was the son of the foremost mind in all of Krypton's history and should be respected. No one should be able to tell him what to do, for he was Kal-El, the savior of this planet. All would kneel before him.
The Daily Planet was the central hub of information in the city, even though the newspaper business was about to fall rather far thanks to recent changes in how media was presented to the world. Harry was happy with the gains that were made during the previous quarter but he was not head over heels excited about them. The green eyes of Harry Potter swam with intensity as he thought about his plans for expansion. He was about ready to move to the next step and he entered the office with Kara tagging alongside him.
'I'm worried about Clark,' Kara thought to him.
'I've been worried about him for years,' Chloe remarked as she prepared to meet them at the Daily Planet. 'His issues tend to have issues and I say that as his friend.'
'It's….tough, I was sent here to help him but there was a lot of damage already done and he's gotten worse since, nothing I've done to help seems to have worked either even though I've tried every stopgap,' Harry remarked to them. He was about to do something even more drastic but his better nature held him back from doing so.
'He has been cracked since he went inside the Pit and coming back from the dead didn't help,' Karen remarked as she shook her head. 'Do you think that future is going to happen?'
'I don't know, I really don't know, I refuse to believe that the future is set in stone,' Harry commented to them mentally. 'But even if it isn't, we still have to figure these things out and prepare for the absolute worst.'
'Words to live by,' Lois thought to them as she greeted Chloe outside.
"Hey, Chloe, Harry, Kara, and Karen, how are you doing?" Lois asked them.
"Never better," Harry remarked to her.
'Wish I didn't have to deal with this situation and Zod's gone underground, what is his next move?' Harry thought to them.
"Yeah, we're doing pretty good," Chloe commented to her. "How's Clark?"
"He was going to follow up on a lead," Lois remarked.
'After today, he needs to cool down,' Lois thought to them. 'Although he'll be back before too long.'
'Well we're find a way to keep him in line,' Lara remarked as she cut in from the farm. 'Raya is trying to figure out what happened to him, she's ensuring that he doesn't stray too far.'
"Well that's good, I hope that you're going to earn your paycheck," Harry remarked to Lois and Lois's expression flickered into a smile.
"Oh, believe me Potter, I earn my paycheck, always,' Lois remarked as she switched back to the mental conversation.
'I just wish that I could find a way to knock Clark back into line,' Lois thought to him. The dark haired woman closed her eyes and smiled deeply as she thought about it. 'Some days it's hard to get out of bed but….life without a few challenge, what's….life without it?'
'It isn't worth it,' Harry remarked to her as a grin crossed his face.
"That's good, because the Planet will be undergoing some changes to keep up with the rest of the world," Karen remarked and Lois's corked an eyebrow towards her. "We're expanding our coverage into television media and starting a blog as well."
"Who's running the blog?" Lois asked in a curious tone of voice.
Chloe answered that question with a smile. "You're looking at her."
Lois's eyebrow raised even further before she remarked with a smile crossing her face. "That's great, Chlo, I'm so happy for you."
"I'm glad as well, it gives me something to do in between babysitting the next generation of heroes….oh, hello Miss West," Chloe remarked as the redhead showed up.
The group spun around to see the redhead standing behind them. She had long shoulder length red hair along with a beautiful face that was made for televised media and brown eyes that flashed towards them. She wore a purple business suit jacket and a black skirt, along with black boots.
"Iris West, the newest member of the media division of the Daily Planet, she came in through Centrl City," Harry remarked as he turned towards them. "Iris, this is Lois Lane."
"Miss Lane, please to meet you," Iris commented, the twenty five year old reporter extended her hand forward and Lois took it, shaking her hand. The two of them locked eyes for a few seconds and stared each other down.
"The pleasure is all mine," Lois remarked with a smile of her own as she kept her expression turned towards the woman before her. "So you're part of Harry's inevitable plot to take over the world."
"I wouldn't quite put it that way, Lois," Harry remarked as he smiled. "But, everyone across the Daily Planet is going make more money and they'll also bring more news across the world."
"Your vast business empire is getting bigger through, a partnership with LuthorCorp, deals with Wayne Industries and Ferris Air, the skies the limit," Chloe remarked and Iris nodded.
"Yeah, Carol mentioned you to me when she was back in town for a little bit a few days ago," Iris commented and Harry raised an eyebrow. "Old roommates in college, well for about nine months, but we forged a friendship. Our fathers knew each other as well, so that helped push us together."
Iris stated this with a smile as she gave Harry a quick look over. She liked everything that she saw so far.
"Nothing but the best reviews about you so far," Iris remarked as she placed a hand on her hip and there was a wide smile on her face that got even wider. "I'm sure that I'll live up to your expectations."
"I hope so, although everything won't be ready to get started for another few weeks," Harry remarked as he turned around. "I'm looking for someone to help run the day to day operations with the television media division."
"Well good look in finding a sap at doing that," Lois remarked.
Harry smiled at her. "Actually I was hoping that sap would be you, Lois."
Lois raised an eyebrow. "Me….me…what….I don't know."
"Well you're driven, willing to work hard to get the job done," Harry stated to her as he listed off some of her best qualities point by point and Lois smiled at this review. "Not to mention the fact that you're good at bossing people around."
"I don't boss people around," Lois remarked crossly as she turned around and barked to a random office underling. "Hey, you, get me a coffee, double time, and don't overload the sugar!"
Harry smiled, his point was well taken.
"Well, you picked the best person," Iris commented as she walked around the office with Harry, Kara, and Karen, showing her around. "I'm just happy to be part of something."
"So did you move here alone or what?" Karen asked curiously.
"Well, I took in my nephew about a year back, he's a teenager, you know how most of them are," Iris commented as she walked down the hallway. "Wally's the epitome of the term, brilliant, but lazy."
"Well, that describes me in school to a tee," Harry remarked to Iris and she smiled.
"He could have been out of High School by now if he'd buckle down, he's got the brains to graduate early," Iris remarked.
She hoped that her nephew wouldn't try to duplicate the accident that gave her, her powers in an attempt to get them for himself. He kept asking if she was in the market for a sidekick, at least Iris hoped that it was a joke.
"So anyway here is where you get the coffee, here is the room where all the office drones hang out, and….well this is the central area which is a madhouse, news flies through there faster than a speeding bullet," Harry explained to Iris as he continued to show her around. "Since I got here, I made sure to have donuts and coffee catered every morning."
"For some reason, people work a lot better with them," Kara remarked and Iris's smile crossed over her face.
"You are a hero to many," Iris commented as the tour continued.
"We have a problem coming in through the grapevine," Chloe commented as she leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms. She wished she could smile about everything that was going on around her but the smile would have forced.
Zatanna and Diana stood in the background.
"What kind of a problem?" Diana asked her, as two of the top members of the Justice League.
"Oh, a prison break in Belle Reve," Chloe remarked as she clicked her mouse around and Clark turned up behind her. "Clark, nice of you to show up."
Clark smiled and answered the unasked question.
"I'm here to prove that I can handle business," Clark told her and Chloe smiled, giving him an extremely prominent, "good for you look" before she clicked through what she was looking at. "So….what do you need from me?"
"I'm not sure if you should be involved," Chloe remarked as she clasped her hands over the desk.
"Why shouldn't I be involved?" Clark demanded, trying to keep his patience. "You should respect me for all of the things that I've done."
Out of respect, Chloe let this one slide, plus she wasn't in the mood to have an argument.
"Okay, you've copped an attitude lately," Chloe said as she turned around and took a close look at the screen before her. "Ever since….it's Zod, he's playing with your head."
"Zod is nothing compared to me," Clark remarked with a smile on his face.
"You didn't jump red long into the RedK again, please tell me you didn't jump headlong into the RedK again," Chloe commented and he reached towards Chloe but Diana grabbed him around the arm and spun him around.
"She needs to learn some respect," Clark remarked and Diana's eyes focused onto Clark's.
"I heard some appraising things about you, but you're acting like everything you're supposed to be fighting against," Diana remarked as she kept her eyes locked onto Clark's. Clark's eyes stared a hole through Diana's head. The two of them did not back down a moment, stubbornly staring each other down.
Clark stood with a set jaw, he refused to dignify what he was doing to no one.
"Tell, Harry when he comes back, that I want a word with him, it's time he learned his place," Clark commented as he turned around and ran off.
'Lana, please make sure he doesn't do something stupid,' Chloe thought to her through the link.
'I'll do what I can,' Lana thought as Clark disappeared. 'Is he….FUCK!'
'What….fuck…what…what are saying that for?' Chloe asked to Lana, surprised to see her use such a tone.
'Well, Clark's disappeared around the corner,' Lana thought as she tapped her hand on the side of her head.
'I'm trying to get a visual in on him,' Raya thought.
'So….I'm informed that Grodd was in his head the other day, this gorilla, that messed with his mind,' Lara remarked as she paused. 'I think he might have left an imprint on him.'
'And things have gone from really bad to outright sucking,' Lois remarked as she wished for a desk to bang her head upon now. Sadly she was standing in the middle of the city, trying to find Clark. 'There is no way….he would have had to learn how to teleport or become invisible or something like that and neither of these powers are on Smallville's power sheet.'
'No, there aren't,' Kara commented as she circled around the city. 'I'm trying to find him…using the computer.'
'Where's Harry in all of this?' Lana asked.
Chloe meanwhile half paid attention to the conversation, she had other things to worry about and worry flooded through her mind.
"Grodd broke out some guests from Belle Reve," Chloe remarked.
"It's just a distraction."
Chloe turned around and saw Harry standing there in the shadows, with his arms crossed over his chest. She smiled and looked over her shoulder at him. "Wow, with that sneaky act, you could give Batman a run for his money."
Harry did not say anything, other than smiling, at least for the moment. "I do the best that I can."
"I'm sure," Chloe remarked to him as she drummed her fingers upon the desk. "So anyway, we've got a huge problem….as in a few people have snuck out….but you're saying that this is just a distraction."
"Bait for Grodd's master plan," a figure stated as they all turned around. Diana and Zatanna were taken off guard.
"And we have the other Blur, the one that's in Central City," Chloe remarked with a smile.
"Yeah, it's me, the Blur….I mean the Flash, fastest woman alive, although not when it counts," Iris commented as she surveyed Harry with a smile.
Despite the more hyperactive tone of voice in an attempt to hide her identity, Harry saw through it immediately. He was barely able to keep the smugness from crossing his face as he watched the woman, who tried to look, and act different.
'Okay Iris, I'll play your game,' Harry thought to her.
"And what is Grodd's master plan?" Chloe asked Iris, who nodded up and down quite quickly. The two of them smiled at each other.
"Well….you see….the last time he was around, he tried to turn everyone into Central City into gorillas. Actually that's all he ever really does," Iris commented as she reached into her bag and pulling out a sandwich she proceeded to chomp down on it. "Sorry fast metabolism, get hungry really easy."
And her hormones worked at super speed as well but that was another problem all things considered that she would have to deal with in time.
"That's….well that isn't the smartest plan in the world," Diana remarked.
"And by not smart, you mean completely stupid," Kara offered to Diana and Diana nodded.
"Well yes," Diana remarked to them both.
"Yes….it is….it is not that smart, stupid, yes, really stupid," Iris offered as she closed her eyes and tried to multitask in her own mind. "So we need to stop him because these meteor mutants….well some of them….not exactly a challenge given some of the rogues that I've went up against."
Iris thought with partial fondness and also partial annoyance of the rogues in her hometown of Central City. The fact of the matter was that going up against them was a bother and a half.
"So take a deep breath and think about what Grodd might do," Harry remarked to Iris and she nodded her head, putting a hand underneath her chin.
"Okay, Grodd, yes, Grodd," Iris but Chloe was going through the computer system.
"I think we've got it, there's a pattern here with the labs he's struck so far since he rolled into town and he should strike here," Chloe said as she pointed over to the screen and they all locked their eyes upon the screen, a plan formulating.
Clark shook his head, there was a ringing sound resounding throughout it.
"So, you're here."
Grodd turned around and went face to face with him as they were standing outside a lab.
"Where are they, where are the meteor freaks?" Clark asked to him and Grodd smiled.
"False report, it's very easy to manipulate a few guards to leak some false reports without lifting a finger," Grodd told Clark and Clark's eyes went glassy eyed. "Yes, I have a strength of will that is higher than most people, stronger than most people, and more importantly, my will is stronger than yours."
"Yes, it is," Clark managed as he kept his eyes locked onto Grodds but he shook his head.
There was a whisper that sounded like Jor-El trying to remind Clark to exert his mind properly, that he was someone of dominant power. There was no one who could stop him, not Grodd, not Zod, not Harry Potter.
"You're going to help me," Grodd remarked as he rubbed his hands together and motioned for Clark to step forward. He did so, though he dragged his feet the entire way. He was trying to block the mental attacks. "You're going to break through the vault and you're going to…."
Iris appeared and grabbed Clark, throwing him to the ground.
"You just can't leave me alone!" Grodd yelled as he charged her.
"Too slow," Iris commented and Grodd dodged around but another blur appeared around them.
Karen launched her fist into the face of Grodd and caused him to rocket up off to the ground and land hard with a sickening impact. Grodd rolled over, his vision blurred but he refused to go back down.
"You'll find that it's hard to get inside my mind," Karen remarked as she placed her hands on her hips and launched heat vision at Grodd.
Clark's eyes glowed as Grodd used him like a puppet and Karen's heat vision connected with him. His shirt was completely burnt off as Clark collapsed to the ground, clutching his chest in pain.
Karen looked around, she would be more sorry if she did not think that Clark could take it. She rushed in and Grodd once again manipulated Clark.
His hands grabbed Karen's as the two of them kept each other from moving forwards further, pushing each other back and forth. Both exerted their strength against each other, trying to gain a position that would be favorable.
Kara flew in while Grodd was distracted with Clark and Clark was distracted with Karen. The blonde smashed Grodd with a huge punch to the face and the gorilla landed on his back with a thump.
Harry waved his hands and exerted a field around them. There were flickers around them that popped to life and he craned his neck back.
"You're not going to stop me from doing what I need to do," Grodd growled as he reared his head back and lifted his arms.
"I'd imagine that I will," Harry remarked to Grodd and the two of them locked eyes onto each other.
Harry closed his eyes and pushed Grodd back. Both fighters circled each other, their mental attacks locked onto each other.
Clark was up and his eyes glowed, as Grodd tried to exert his will over him once more, but Kara grabbed him around the neck and hoisted him up out of harm's way. This was easier said than done with Clark kicking and flaying his legs all the way up. The blonde grunted as Karen grabbed onto his legs and both of them hoisted Clark up.
'He's a lot stronger than I remembered,' Karen thought to her bonded.
'Something happened, we're going…..I don't know what I'm going….hold him please,' Kara thought as she panted.
'Sorry Clark, this is going to hurt me a lot more than it hurts you,' Karen thought as she grabbed him around the shoulder and squeezed him.
Clark could barely hear what Karen said next, although he knew that there were two words and he was put down for the count. The two blondes knew that they had to get him out of there and keep him down until all of Grodd's mind control was purged from it.
"You will stop fighting me, you will kneel before me," Grodd growled as Harry circled around him, his heart thumping across his chest.
He raised an eyebrow before he said in a crisp tone. "Kneel before Grodd? So to add to your list of crimes today, you want to tack copy right infringement to it."
Harry dodged the attack but Grodd grabbed him.
"Get your paws off me, you damn dirty ape!" Harry yelled and Grodd was angered at being called the wrong primate once again. He was hurled around and right into a super fast punch by Iris.
Iris thought that she knocked Grodd out, although she would need to find a way to negate his mind control. He was never held for long, mostly because many of the times he was captured, he worked his way into the mind of one of the security guards and caused him to release Grodd.
"Think this should work," Harry remarked as he slipped the headband on Grodd and he felt an overwhelming burst of psychic static which dropped Grodd to his knees.
"What is it?" Iris asked in a curious tone of voice.
Harry decided to let her in on the news. "It's a neural disruptor; it should keep him from locking onto anyone and figuring out a way to control them."
She thought that was something that someone like Arcane would have whipped up.
"Amazing, as always," Iris remarked as she threw her arms around him in celebration.
She could not help herself, and her mischievous nature bubbled through.
.Iris leaned towards him and planted her lips upon his, stealing a quick kiss, before she sped off in the other direction.
Harry watched Iris leave as the kiss lingered.
'Well you made the first play, but I always finish the game,' Harry thought to himself as he switched through the bond link.
'Clark's back at the farm, Lois, Lana, Raya, and Alicia are watching him, I gave him a mild sedative, hopefully his mind will return back to normal,' Kara remarked in a breathless voice.
'What passes for normal with Clark anyway?' Karen thought as she shook her head.
'Well….let's just hope he isn't going to give us any more issues,' Kara thought, although she felt some level of stress regarding what her cousin was going through.
It seemed to be one set of disaster dominoes after the other and Harry gave her a reassuring statement through the link.
'You did good, if he would have attacked me, I wouldn't hold anything back,' Harry thought to her and Kara winced at the thought of what Harry could do to Clark if he was pushed.
'Yeah….that's why I plucked him out of there before he would do anything stupid,' Kara thought.
'So, are you going to take care of your latest conquest?' Lara thought and she added. 'As a failsafe, I've removed Clark's access to his powers for seventy two hours, until we're sure that the mind control is gone.'
'Good, and yes, I'll take care of her, now,' Harry remarked through the bond link.
Iris was back at her Apartment, still dressed in full Flash attire, only with the mask on.
"Hello, Iris, you dropped your pen at the Planet."
Iris spun around and her heart went nearly went a mile a minute as she came face to face with the smug face of Harry Potter. She thought that she was going to lose her mind and her eyes locked onto the green eyes of the young man standing behind her. His expression was as casual as could be.
"Harry…it's…." Iris commented as she saw him eying her attire. "I suppose that you're too smart to go for the, I'm going to a costume party gag, aren't you?"
"It's good to see that you don't underestimate my intelligence, Iris, because I don't underestimate yours," Harry remarked as he took another step towards her, closing the distance. Iris's eyes fluttered shut after a few seconds and her heart started to beat against her chest as Harry was almost in her face.
Iris was not going to lie, she found herself quite bewildered by him and there was something else she noticed.
"So I guess you know my secret but….I think I might know yours," Iris remarked as she saw the lingering traces of lipstick on his lips. "Pretty gift from a pretty woman, guess I'm a sucker for keeping souvenirs," Harry remarked to Iris as he placed his hand on her side and the two of them locked eyes for a few seconds.
"You and my nephew would get along," Iris remarked, trying to make small talk. "So you hired me…."
"Because you had qualifications, but it seems like that you have needs," Harry offered and Iris raised an eyebrow. "As your boss, it would be a shame if I did not scratch your back a little bit. And you did good against the monkey out there. Although for some reason, he doesn't like being called that." "Well technically speaking he's not a…."
Harry's mouth found Iris's and the two of them enjoyed a nice and sensual kiss with each other. The redhead was pulled into an embrace, as Harry pulled her in close to him and watched her with a smile.
"Two young heroes like us….we need to unwind every now and then," Harry told her and Iris's head nodded up and down as she placed her hand on Harry's chest.
"So what do you have in mind?" Iris asked.
"I think we can relax after a nice day," Harry remarked as he grabbed the costume and peeled her slowly out of it.
It was the only time where Iris seemed to go slow but she allowed it and he pulled her into another panty soaking kiss. She tasted fire and it was sexual relief to say the very least as her pussy moistened at the thought of what he would be able to do. He slid his hand down her panties and played with her a tiny bit.
Iris moaned as she could hardly wait to see what else he could do with those hands and that mouth. All over her body and the horny redhead wrapped her legs around him as she allowed Harry to push her back on the bed and run his hands all over her body.
"I want you, now," Iris panted as she reached into his pants.
"And now you've got me," Harry remarked as she wrapped her hand around him.
Smut/Lemon Begins.
-PROFILE-
Smut/Lemon Ends.
"Once again, you've done a great job Indy, I couldn't be more pleased with the work that you've put together," Tess said in an appraising tone and the younger redhead smiled.
"I aim to please," Indy commented with a smile that got wider. "Are you sure that the Kandorians….will not think that we've double crossed them?"
Tess was quick to alleviate the girl's fears. "Harry has gotten all of the resources from the Kandorian army. Zod and his lackeys, what remains of them, are like rats in a maze. They are going to be running around looking for cheese that doesn't exist."
LuthorCorp was undertaking one of it's biggest projects ever, seek and destroy the Lazarus Pits all around the world, so Zod and his cronies could not. Thanks to the help of Jade and Talia, they were able to locate most of them although Talia admitted that there were some resources that her father hid from even her.
"Zod's time as at an end," Tess remarked as she looked up.
"And we have other problems, regarding the other male Kryptonian," Harry said to Tess as he popped up behind her.
Tess greeted him with a quick kiss.
"His mind is fried," Harry told Tess and Tess blinked as she slowly asked a question that tried to alleviate her curiosity.
"Fried as in done, or fried as in….well you know,' Tess told him and Harry remarked back with a crisp smile.
"Fried as in, there's been a lot of damage done based on various things and….his father might have done something to him while he was trying to do the training," Harry remarked.
"So, is there any way to purge him of these things that have happened to him or are you going to have to take a drastic step?" Tess asked Harry and he smiled towards her. "As in, the drastic step."
"You mean….yes I know….this would be the ultimate abort mission but I don't want to do that unless there are no other options," Harry remarked as he sat down.
"Indy, you may go," Tess remarked and Indy nodded.
"Nice seeing you again Harry, I hope to see much more of you later," Indy remarked and she turned around.
There was a moment where Harry smiled.
"So how many more are you going to ensnare into your web before it's all over?" Tess asked Harry and the wizard responded with a smile before he told her.
"As many as necessary."
For some reason, Tess would not expect anything less from Harry. That was just the type of person he was, she always thought that he would have beautiful women around him.
"So, what are you planning on doing with Clark if he becomes a liability?" Tess asked. She always thought that all liabilities should be dealt with but it was obvious that Harry was not going to go that route, at least not yet. She could respect that, even though she could not one hundred percent get behind him all the way.
Harry had an answer.
"The Book of RAO."
Tess's eyes raised up. "So you figured out what it does?"
"It sends….it sends all those with Kryptonian descent to a brand new world, where they would be out of the way," Harry remarked as he turned towards Tess who spotted one fundamental flaw with his theory.
"And that includes you," Tess remarked to him.
"And that includes me or rather included me," Harry remarked and now Tess was interested to see what Harry had up his sleeve this time.
Indy made her way outside to her car. She was getting these weird headaches and flashes to a world that she had never been on. There was also Zod who had said that he would fix the programming to control it better but she could not remember much of anything. There were also moments where she attacked people that she knew, at least from her point of view.
"Indy Go, put your hands in the air where we can see them," a gruff voice stated behind her and she looked over her shoulder.
Suddenly, Indy screamed as she dropped to the ground and two goons grabbed her, dragging her off.
"This is the key to Zod's invasion, we must not allow it to fall in his hands," one of the hooded figures stated. "Checkmate will control this machine."
"Machine?" one of the parties remarked.
"This female contains trace elements that remains of a Kryptonian super computer," one of the Checkmate agents stated as he adjusted his glasses. "We will take her to the base and extract those components from her."
"Such a process could kill her," another agent protested.
"She's not a human, she's a machine, therefore she has no life to lose," the agent stated in a voice that lacked any trace of empathy. "She can't feel, she can't breathe, she's not alive. She's a computer that will serve Checkmate and eradicate the alien threat."
Indy was secured and thrown in the back of a van.
Downfall watched the scene, green eyes blaring from behind the mask.
"We've got a problem," Downfall said to a person on the other end of a radio.
Alex watched from afar as well, she was going mad, she had put a plan together, and nothing was going according to it.
