CyberTech Worlds Clash

Chapter 71

Galatea

Harry Avalon grinned as he stood on top of a small craft with two long prongs going from cream to red at the front. It had large fan propellers housed in cages to either side spinning, keeping it airborne with two smaller ones on either side towards the rear. Its cockpit was under him, only big enough for one, red, not even a window, and it had twin Gatling Guns underneath, aiming and reaming at his opponent as she drifted from side to side.

The tech genius was in full armour of crimson red and black; his visor holding holographic targeting screens as he waited. His armour engines were out, but off as the craft under him supported his weight.

Harry was watching a battle over and around Metropolis between Supergirl and Galatea, as they finally got into a position to capture, and help her. She was a clone of Supergirl, so he wondered whether that made them mother and daughter or sisters – that oddity just kept popping into his head at every turn. It had never come up with clones before – well, it kind of did with Superboy, but he wasn't a clone in the traditional sense, and was technically for all tests done the son of Clark Kent, and Lex Luthor, but thankfully wanted nothing to do with Luthor short of smashing his teeth down his throat. However, Galatea was only created from Kara's cells, her genome, her DNA, and with a few tweaks to age her to full maturity, she didn't end up looking like a carbon copy of Supergirl. Harry would rather think of them as sisters, as Supergirl looked younger, so it would be confusing, and weirder than it was thinking of Supergirl as her mother, and they did have dis-similarities.

Galatea was hot though. She was wearing her long-sleeved white leotard with a cut-out over her chest to show her mid-to-below-mid ranged cleavage. She wore white gloves, and white half boots with a yellow belt around her waist. Her hair was short, to the centre of her neck, hung low cropped. Then her blue eyes were almost mocking in their confusion, but shockingly beautiful like Supergirl's were.

Cadmus had created her, as a defence against Superman, apparently, if he ever lost control again, like when he was under some jerk aliens' control, because of the fouled plot by the Reach and Luthor and cohorts. Though, the Reach had surrendered, it hadn't been without an attempt at a fight, but it was one sided, and their forces had no choice but to surrender, and the Earth had to look after all the homeless aliens, most of which didn't even have home planets to return to, but thankfully, several million aliens weren't too ridiculous in numbers, especially after Convergence Day where they had one Earth that only had a few million people total, so plenty of land to spare soon. Though, they had quite a bit of free land as it was, especially in more barren areas where its more of a challenge to build.

Then to top things off they had the several colonies of Red Lindsey's race of just over fifteen million. They had been in contact, and after making quite decent proposals, the US had agreed to allow them to build two cities, one in Nevada, and one in Alaska, with another city being built in Poland, and one was going to be built under the ocean, off the West Coast of England, with transport links between England and Ireland, and they would be assisting in construction of an orbital city for MPF and planetary defences, since they had a fair bit of experience building in space since their planet's destruction. They had practically offered everything they had to get to join the planet, and would be helping with the Reach issue too, as they were built up of mostly enslaved men and woman as soldiers, and there were thirteen different races, with no planets, and nearing extinction. They were all still in talks with a few other countries about building new cities too – or even extending some out.

It had been a few weeks since the blonde-clone girl had escaped, and looking, Galatea didn't get the one thing she needed to be a potential hero, which was why the two Kryptonian's were fighting. She didn't get love; she wasn't taught about the good in the world, only to fight. Harry knew they needed to get her to listen and make a choice before she did something horrible that couldn't be taken back, and spent the rest of her life in jail.

Therefore, it seemed she had done a full-on runner, after the event where they saved Supergirl, and joined up with a bad witch, or something like that. Harry felt for her, as she was a part of Supergirl, he couldn't help himself as he loved Kara more than he was willing to admit right then, and saw her in her sister-clone. Then he saw that he could have easily gone down that rout, if not for certain people. He had to shake those memories away for now or he would just be distracted.

Then, they made Galatea older, so not only did she miss out on a childhood, but she was about nineteen-twenty, making her a fully matured adult by kryptonian biology, which made her a tad stronger than Supergirl, as though by most standards she would be considered an adult as she had just passed eighteen, a few weeks before, Galatea wasn't a complete replica of Supergirl because of the gene manipulation to age her to maturity, and everybody matured at different speeds, and most obviously, they had manipulated Galatea's genes to push her to a higher pique that Kara would probably have to start bench-pressing hundreds of tons to reach. Harry couldn't help but feel sad about that; he always wished he had a normal childhood too. She didn't seem to understand the simple pleasures in life that didn't include kicking the crap out of her enemies, or sister as in this case.

Harry watched the battle and winced a little here and there as they went boom into a building together. "Where's Superman when he's needed?" Harry asked; only he got two answers.

The first answer came over his comm. link. "Daddy, Superman's not on the planet at the moment. He's with Green Lantern John Stuart and Hawkman off world on a mission because of the you-know-what incident, trying to make amends, and all that. Guy Gardner can be with you in under five minutes if you want backup."

However, the girl his weapons were facing answered too, amused. "Not here big boy, so I guess it's just you and me while the Super-Babes beat the shit out of each other! It's kind of sexy to watch Supergirl and her clone fighting, and amazing how they look so similar, but not identical, so how does that work?"

"They manipulated her genome to age her," Harry replied coolly. "Therefore, they added some artificial sequences into her DNA that Supergirl does not have, hence the differences."

"Wow, that's all kind of messed up," she replied thoughtfully. "I never thought I would ever see a time where technology would start to look more and more like magic. I bet those stuffy gits won't like all of this, stuck away behind their wards, ignorant. I watched the day they all came together… it was shortly before people were off exploring America, about five hundred or so years ago… they erased most of magics existence from the world. It took them months, maybe longer, but to undo all of that, it would take minutes. It looks like they'll have to grow with this new world your building."

Harry glared at her, though she couldn't see from where she floated in front of him. She had long wavy deep red and purple hair, hanging to between her shoulder blades. She was wearing a hot little green dress with some yellow trim that barely covered her butt with black attachments and a yellow belt. Her dress didn't have any straps, but she had sleeves to match going down just over her hands. She was wearing some matching boots up, just below her knees. Her eyes were a light blue, and she was wearing dark eye shadow, and had painted her lips a deep plum, with matching nails. She was smiling at Harry, as she at least watched the Gatling Guns warily.

Harry snorted. "Yeah… fun times ahead, but Aren't you supposed to be a myth?" he couldn't help but ask but didn't wait for an answer. "If not, haven't weaker heroes than me beaten you time and time again for you to get a clue, Circe? Or perhaps, I could offer you a job… you quit all this evil nonsense, because I can tell you're not evil by the magic you don't use. With your knowledge and expertise, we could build amazing things, and you can live in the lap of luxury."

Her eyes narrowed in thought for a moment before they sparked with anger, and he used his left arm to block the blast of pure magic with his distortion shield glowing red as it opened.

"Shut up. Do you take me for a fool?!" she hissed out, annoyed with him, "empty promises, and lies to entrap me and lock me away for what might be forever?"

"I swear to you this promise is not empty," Harry replied. "I do not make promises I will not do everything within my power to fulfil."

"And I don't believe you," she retorted coldly. "And even if I did, what makes you think I would accept that offer?" she finished as she drew in her magic ready for another attack.

"I guess we're going to be fighting after all," he retorted while sounding tired, and for a moment, she could believe he was telling the truth, but it was too late now. "Don't try to take my turn, Circe."

Harry chuckled as they circled each other in the air. However, he was worried as he looked down where Supergirl was smashed painfully into the road. It was just lucky that the police with MPF's help had managed to clear out the area, so they wouldn't worry about innocent people.

"Worried about your little girlfriend, Crimson?" Circe mocked with a grin when he looked back up to her. "I would be more worried about myself if I had to fight me."

"Hmm," he mumbled in fake thought. "Yeah, I guess... but you'll have to use that gathered energy for a shield, too bad, as I was looking forward to seeing the attack," he replied mockingly when her eyes widened as the Gatling Guns started spinning, heating up and in seconds yellow energy bolts flew out.

She gritted her teeth as she held up her hands creating a transparent rippling bubble of a shield. She managed to hold back every blast before the weapons overheated and shut down.

Circe screamed in anger as the smoke cleared from the attack and their fight began. The witch shot forward shooting fire magic at Harry, and just hit his jets and his shields, distorting her magic, veering it off as they moved down and back away from her.

Meanwhile, Galatea was stomping on Supergirl's back while she cried out in pain when she was hit by a blast of green light. This Green Lantern was dressed a bit different to Hal. He had a green leather jacket with the flaps open at the top with collars with the lantern symbol on the left of his chest, and strawberry blonde hair with no mask around his glowing green eyes.

He laughed smugly as Galatea was pulling herself up, angry, her blue eyes lit up red and laser vision blasted into a green shield he hastily put up before it stopped, as a pink light blast him flying into a building.

"Huh, and I thought I would just watch the fun," the Star Sapphire said as she flew in, interrupting. She looked up as she saw the Crimson Knight get blasted off the weird craft and down the side of a building before crunching down into the sidewalk below.

Guy pulled himself up, shaking his head clear as he looked to the glowing pink girl. Her hair was long and smooth, raven black; her outfit curled around her breasts, open in the front, a long sleeve leotard design with long boots half way up her thighs and gloves over her hands with a white star shape just above her pubis area, and a mask, split in the middle around her eyes, pointed up like a crown.

"Hmm, I didn't expect to see you," Guy said laughingly as Supergirl tiredly pulled herself to stand, her cape in tatters, but the rest of her new suit seemed okay, as the cape was really thin and lightweight, a million times easier to ruin, but she was bleeding with some scrapes and bruises.

"What can I say, but I had nothing better to do!" Star Sapphire replied, smirking. "It's a shame it's you and not Hal, but you are his buddy, so I'll have to give you a message for Hal!" she said as she made a wide gesture and a huge pinkie-purple hand formed in the air, and splattered the Green Lantern into the side of a building.

Harry pulled himself up from the small crater he made, looking up, Circe was getting beat by his mech as she had transformed into a mechanical humanoid with propeller jets on her back, and one on her waist, and another on her ankles, getting smaller as you looked down.

"Rapid, keep her busy," he said.

"I've got this, Sir!" the male mechanical voice of Rapid replied, sounding rather amused, and this in turn amused Harry, as his mech just started trying harder to get the witch, and with Rapid's distortion field at a constant, Circe was having no luck knocking him down.

"Let's try this," Harry said, and in a flash, he was out of his armour and in his crimson suit, his eyes still giving him readouts, he flicked out his right hand and his staff flashed into his hand, and he smirked.

Harry watched as Galatea went to charge a disorientated Supergirl. He aimed his staff and the white wearing beauty was hit by a flashing white light and trapped. She struggled but she couldn't get out no matter what she tried, nor could she move. She was stuck, confused and furious.

The Star Sapphire turned, shocked as she glared at Harry. She went to fire, but forgot her own enemy as Guy had pulled himself up from the building, and blast her, knocking her to the floor unconscious. She had a few last thoughts about not trusting idiot men who wear green or red and black, as she crashed down.

"You okay, Supergirl?" Harry asked as he walked over to join them with a quick glance up, Rapid was keeping Circe busy.

Supergirl shook her head clear and gave Harry a loving smile. "Y-yeah, well as soon as the ringing in my ears stops," she agreed as she turned, angry at Galatea and went to hit her while defenceless only for Harry to take her hand, stopping her. She looked to him, surprised. "Ha-Crimson, this is, I have too... she started it!" she ended up whingeing as she relaxed into his hold, as she knew Galatea was just another victim, and Harry wanted to save her like the amazing hero she knew he was.

Harry smiled at her, shaking his head. "She doesn't know any better, not really. She was created to fight you and Superman; maybe given a chance I can help her. We can help her. I helped this girl a while back, X-Twenty-Three; you can meet her if you go to Jump City, she and her team have crossed. She was created like her, not as powerful, but much more violent. They turned her into an assassin-."

"I can be much more violent if that's what you want!" Galatea spat out angrily, glaring as she realised, she could still move her mouth, but she still couldn't move the rest of her body.

Harry shrugged as he looked up to where Circe was starting to get a stride against his partner mech, and Syren wasn't on this side to help him. "Guy, go help Rapid, and try to capture Circe if you can, but Supergirl would be at a disadvantage so it will just be you. I need to spend a moment talking to Galatea. Supergirl, if you could sit on our Star Sapphire or something so she doesn't wake up and flee?"

"I'm on it!" Guy said, grinning, and blasting off after the powerful sorceress like being a super-cop was the greatest of games. Harry sighed and shook his head; he had to wonder about that guy.

Supergirl gave Harry a worried look before actually sitting on the Star Sapphire's tummy, facing her to watch for when she woke up, and using her knees to pin her arms, knowing that she wouldn't be able to take the black-haired woman's ring off without taking her finger off too, and that seemed a little overkill in this situation, as she was already defenceless, she knew Harry would come up with something.

Harry approached the struggling blonde super villainess in the making. "Okay, I'm going to give you a choice Galatea," he said looking her over, concerned like he had been when he first saw X-23, feeling bad that they had to suffer having no choice in their own futures, like him in a way.

He could see beyond her anger, her hate, her disgust, to the fear, the panic, the hopeless feeling inside. It reminded him of the times he was trapped, defenceless against his aunt and uncle and brought back memories he tried to block away.

Galatea stopped glaring at him for a moment. "What are you talking about, moron?!"

Sighing, Harry reached out his left hand and stroked her cheek, shocking her; he held her cheek, and her heartbeat increased, and her cheeks lit up, but she didn't know why she felt so strongly towards this man, as her lower lip quivered as she wanted so much more from him.

"I understand what it's like, not knowing who you really are, and treated like a thing by people who should be looking out for you! It sucks not having a place in the world, I know, but I had some help after I ran, and I found something for myself, now I want to help you."

She snorted rudely. "And what can you do for me, loser?!" she demanded, rudely trying to look away but she was still stuck staring at this superhero as he sounded so sincere it was near sickening, but in a way, she had never felt before, and she longed for something she didn't understand.

Crimson pulled his hand back, sighing. "I can do everything and anything you need, look at your sister," he said, making a gesture that allowed her head to turn to where Supergirl sat on the Star Sapphire, trying to pretend she was not listening in and only glancing at Galatea feeling bad for her. "She has everything that she could need, and she's happy. She goes out of her way to help people, not because she has too, but because she can.

"When Cadmus created you, they didn't think about the little things," he said reaching out and stroking her hair; she couldn't resist and she reluctantly enjoyed the way his fingers felt running in her hair, as if he cared, but he couldn't, could he? "They didn't think of the needs of an emotional being like you. Kryptonian's like humans have mental needs, like emotional contact, love, physical contact…

"If you come with me, I can help you where they never cared too," he said, smiling at her. "You can have a chance at a proper life. You haven't done too much Galatea that I can't write it off and repair the damages. I'm sure somewhere, here," he said placing his finger on her chest, though not on her breasts she still blushed at the contact while her heartbeat, racing, and she didn't know why.

"You have a heart," he said with a gentle smile as he pulled his hand back out of the white light holding her. "I can give you a new life, and keep Cadmus away from you, and you won't have to watch your back again. You'll have people you can learn to trust who will watch your back, and maybe someday you'll watch theirs too, as close friends that you will love."

She just let her eyes drop, no longer struggling, looking thoughtful. She really didn't know what to do. She hadn't known he was magic, and didn't know about that fatal flaw in her power, as before he used that Kryptonite, so now she was trapped as she hadn't thought about watching him to dodge as strength was preferable. She had actually expected some kind of incarceration where what was left of Cadmus would reclaim her, but now this.

It was impossible for her to say yes or no, she didn't know, or understand what she should or could do, but he was offering her a chance? But how could he keep Cadmus away? She couldn't help but feel conflicted, and her pounding heart; it seemed to speak, make her feel like she wanted to trust him, but could she really?

Harry didn't look the same; the same as the people at Cadmus. They always had that guarded aura about them, guarding secrets from her, lies, bull-crap. However, he didn't look like that. He didn't give her that sense of control the others all had over her; she felt, sensed a warm feeling in her chest.

His eyes were so amazing, and captivating and honest. They were a striking green swirling with that mercury, so calm, peaceful, kind, and honest. His eyes were strong, and held a certain hope she couldn't describe, and it took her a moment to realise she was free, and he had taken her gloved hand in his, and she held on gently longing for a real life.

Galatea nodded, unsure, but it seemed better than the alternative right then, so with another nod she stayed put and didn't attack. However, moments later they were startled by a huge explosion in the sky and Guy crashed into the ground a little way from them.

Rapid tried to stop Circe, but within moments she was gone. Harry turned from the scene to see Supergirl picking up the Star Sapphire, and though eying Galatea in suspicion and pity, didn't complain.

Harry nodded his thanks, winking at Supergirl, which lit her cheeks up. "Supergirl, let's get Star Sapphire to my... umm... place and see if we can remove the ring without her finger!"

"I'm not going to freak if you say labs, as long as I'm not staying too, I don't care what happens to her," Galatea said quietly as Crimson and Supergirl looked to her in this odd and annoying way. It made her feel it necessary to tell them that.

"Okay," Harry said, smiling. "Watcher," he said over his comm. "Please send a clean-up crew to Uptown Metropolis, and Guy might need some plasters, or a cast," he ordered as the Green Lantern pulled himself up, pouting before Harry started flying, pulling Galatea lovingly into his arms as he drifted into the sky with Supergirl bringing up the rear as they left.

It was around five minutes later, that Galatea was awed as she looked around the huge underground lab in Gotham City she was taken to, as it was far enough from Metropolis than the lab he supposedly had there, as that wasn't as medical facility like the one in Gotham. She could scarcely believe its size, and apparently this one was the secret one, and the building had larger ones in it full of staff. She shyly held onto Harry, as he wrapped her in his arms while she looked around.

Galatea also noticed, though it was certainly more advanced than anything Cadmus had that it was nothing like their labs. This one felt warmer and apparently did some genetic research, but didn't make cloning experiments. She felt herself relax at that, as she let Harry go, but startled, and she tried to laser eye a girl with yellow hair when she appeared out of nowhere.

However, the beam went straight through her and she rolled her grey eyes and patted Galatea on the head, reprimanding her for laser beam eyes indoors. Then she introduced herself as Solar, the buildings AI, wearing some blue doctors' scrubs with a long white coat, and gave her a hug, and welcomed her to the family before going over to help Crimson, Harry, or whatever with the Star Sapphire.

Galatea had been confused as the girl didn't have a scratch, and Supergirl had teased her and told her Solar was a hard light hologram of an artificial intelligence, but in immediate danger like laser vision it softened the light, though it wouldn't hurt, it could cause more damage if the AI hit into the wall. It was odd how, though Supergirl kept her guard up, and teased Galatea, it wasn't offensive, or meant to rile her into a fight; it was all so odd to her.

Galatea shrugged away her thoughts before she got lost and watched Harry and Solar secure the Star Sapphire to a bed fastened to the ground. It didn't look like it was designed for humans so it must have been a place he made machines or something like that, as the 'bed' looked designed to move in many different directions, to get at different positions, she thought.

The pink suited girl was fastened in some kind of metal cuffs, ankles and wrists. Then the bed moved automatically, raising her to a standing position. Galatea watched as Harry scanned the Star Sapphire with some devices, along with her ring, frowning in thought.

Harry had already de-transformed, so his hands were bare when he touched the pink outfit on the Sapphire, without any kind of magic or energy interfering with his sensations. "Odd," he muttered as he touched it in different areas, from boots to mask, even the small bits on her breasts and crouch, then to her skin, face and tummy.

"Really odd," he muttered while Galatea and Supergirl blushed at these bits of examination. "It may not look like it, but the skin we can see has a very light layer of lantern armour, it's just so thin it's transparent, similar to how my Mystic form works. Her boots, mask and gloves are noticeably thicker than the crouch area and chest, but sides are a little more protected. The difference in armour is even noticeable under touch as well as scans, and this is rather amazing."

"Can you get the ring off then?" Supergirl asked, concerned. "I mean, if you could, without cutting her finger off, maybe you could find out how it works and-."

"Love," he answered her. "It's controlled by the emotion of love, but looking at her, someone certainly spurned her love, and instead of letting it go and moving on, the ring took advantage. I bet she would be stronger if she let go of her jealousy."

"Jealousy?!" Galatea interrupted, confused. "Jealousy is not love, is it?"

Harry frowned as he thought of the right words. "No, not always, but jealousy and love can go hand in hand. She is... umm... probably jealous of a previous love moving on without her. It feels horrible to love someone like... as more than just a friend and have them deny you more than you want, but most people deal with it, and cope, and then find someone new."

"Oh," was all Galatea said for a moment. "Then why would I want to understand these things?" she asked as her heart thudded in her chest, and she shyly looked at Harry.

"Because they're beautiful too," Supergirl quickly answered, as she could hear her sisters heart. "We have happiness, love, hope, and many more good emotions. Though, you're right that we have bad ones like jealousy too, but we manage, without the bad we would never appreciate the good."

Harry chuckled as he went back to Star Sapphire and with a few tweaks of a distortion rod, disrupted the Sapphires link to her ring and pulled it off. In a flash of pink light, she was left naked, startling all three as they saw her body in all its fine glory.

"Somebody left without getting dressed," Harry said, shrugging as he just left her on the upright table and took her ring to a high-tech energy damping wall vault, locking it away.

"S-shouldn't we cover her, or put some clothes on her?" Supergirl asked red cheeked as she watched Solar going about examining the human Star Sapphires body with all sorts of devices, and her hands, humming softly to herself.

"When I have finished my examination," Solar interrupted as she paused for a moment with her fingers gently pushing down on the Star Sapphire, juts about her pubis, covered in black hairs. "I will give her some shorts and a blanket when she is put in a containment unit, and have some clothes prepared for her in the morning. If we can, it might be prudent to help her out of her obsession, and maybe like the offer we have given to Galatea she can become a happy law abiding-ish member of society."

"Oh, well, do you need any help?" Supergirl asked, feeling sorry for the brunette on the table.

Solar looked to her and smiled. "I shall be fine, thank you. It is mainly a medical to make sure she will recover, and to be certain the ring does not have any ill effects on her body while not utilising it the way she should. I shall have to examine Galatea next, but if you wish we can do that in one of the penthouse suites of this facility where it shall be more comfortable."

"What for...?" Galatea asked, nervously stepping back.

"It is nothing too personal," she answered. "I just need to make sure that your genetic structure is stable, and if not, it will be quite simple to repair. I don't think anyone trusts those Cadmus goons to do anything right, but let's hope," she answered before turning back to her patient.

"Okay, then here is fine," Galatea agreed as she pulled off her belt.

"Galatea...!" Supergirl screeched as she was about to pull off her armoured leotard. "Not yet. At least wait until she's finished with her. There isn't even a second bed, umm... thing. Then, Harry is still in the room, and your naked body will distract him as much as mine… erm, well, Harry is here," she quickly said while blushing.

"I am a doctor you know," he said, rolling his eyes, and looking amused.

"Cyber-doctor, daddy," Solar added, rolling her eyes, but found amusement in his groan as she called him that because it was fun to watch his reaction as some of the others were really childish, and thought like that, even though technically, it was true, and Harry would never want to break their hearts by not accepting them the way they were. "So that doesn't count, but you can take Miss. Star Sapphire to her cell while I sort out Galatea, and a few scans and checks of Supergirl won't go amiss, just to make sure the DNA is in perfect sync, sans mods, but I won't be finished here for a few more minutes."

"I don't have to take my clothes off do I?" Supergirl asked, embarrassed.

Solar laughed, shaking her head. "As long as I can either place my ear to your bare chest to hear your heart properly, as that armour would otherwise dampen your heartbeat, or a stethoscope up your top everything will be fine," she said, nonchalant.

"Harry, next time you create a doctor AI, please give her a better bedside manners," Kara said glaring at him as he was snickering.

"I'll have you know I have a great bedside manner," the AI said, but sighed when no one agreed with her and shrugged as she finished off the exam.

Harry had carried the Star Sapphire to her cell, and she was blushing brightly as he used some magic to wake her, and she quickly pulled on the shorts she was handed and wrapped the blanket over her naked body while glaring out of the see-through screen of the cell as the Crimson Knight watched her in Mystic Mode, and she knew that look, it was pity.

"Give me back my ring!" she demanded as she sat, curled on one of the two beds.

"Sorry Carol," he said shaking his head. "No can do. You're going to stay in this cell until you resolve your issues with Hal, and then, perhaps, I might give you back the ring if you learn to use it correctly. Whoever created the Violet Lantern Corps should have known that things like this would happen and have prepared for it!

"Though, thinking about it, maybe they knew and wanted it this way, or maybe they were just as oblivious! Whatever the reason, I think you can do better than vengeance. It's not worth the bother, but I'll be sending Hal to see you when I find him, so, goodnight, if you're hungry just say and the computer will have what you want sent.

"In the meantime, you can hang with Ivy," he said, shrugging. "I'll have something better for you to wear sent in the morning," he finished off with a small smile as he left her alone, leaving down a hall and through some automatic doors.

She was soon startled after a few moments of nothing as all of her walls, but the back one, turned transparent. She looked into the cell next to hers to see the beautiful light green skinned red haired young woman, her skin having vine markings in lighter and darker greens. She was completely naked even though she had some clothes in with her and blankets. She sat on her bed watching Carol with her legs crossed and her nice sized breast on proud display.

"Oh, Crimson's not here," the green skinned beauty groaned. "I always enjoy the way he looks at me while I'm like this. He's such an interesting man, and I want him to plough me hard!"

Carol groaned and glared at Ivy. "Would you put your clothes back on!" she demanded, annoyed, and disgusted by her perverseness, having never actually seen this side of her before.

Ivy just looked at her and shrugged. "Nah; there's only a couple of weirdo vampires, and I think that blonde one hates she can't use her power in her, but they're all girls, and fogged out anyway, as its near bedtime, so why should I? So anyway, you here because he doesn't think you're really nuts and thinks he can turn you good too?"

"Yeah," she replied, sighing. "They even took my ring and examined me, but I suppose I was passed due a check-up!"

"Yep, examined me too... never had a real doctor check out my mutation before either," Ivy replied, squeezing her right breast and pinching her long, hard pale red coloured nipple. "Just the thought of him moving all of those toys of his all over my naked body makes me want to ride him until I pass out."

"Maybe he was wrong and he should send you to Arkham!" Carol said, turning away as she didn't want to watch the beautiful meta-human masturbating, but then again, a part of her might have, as she was curious.

Ivy giggled, amused. "He uses his power to create technologies that are friendly with the environment, without being ridiculous and expensive like wind and solar power. I looked him up, and he goes out of his way to protect the world we live in, so I attacked him, and spoke with him, and he captured me.

"I had honestly expected Arkham again, but then he put me in here, Novus, Rehabilitation Unit," she said shrugging. "It's run by all women this side, and the only man that visits is Crimson. I'll admit; I've honestly started thinking. I've been asked to head a new department at Star Labs here in Gotham for the development of environmental protection, developing new technologies to help protect the natural world, so we could live in harmony with my babies. He says that plants, and trees, and the likes are essential to making people feel better about life, and wants to find out ways to make sturdier plant life for cities."

"I can imagine Batman would keep a close eye on you," Carol replied, looking back to see Ivy sitting back on her bed and now holding her covers up over her body with a dreamy smile, as she cuddled them dreaming of Harry Avalon.

Ivy's stunning red lips widened her smile. "Yeah, I suppose the Bat would be prissy, but... if I do this – that's it, no more acts of terrorism for me, because I know when I see Avalon; he cares about me, and understands why I do what I do, why I'm so frustrated. He really is on my side, and not only that, he's cute, and doesn't talk to me like I'm beneath him.

"It almost makes me feel like crying, like I would have when I was a normal human, having someone understand how I feel so trapped when no one else listens or cares. He's not like the Bat who just says he understands, but doesn't care to help me. Harry Avalon wants to help, and doesn't open my cell to take advantage of my feelings while I'm throwing myself at him like most others might have, and he's immune to my kiss."

Carol couldn't help but smile as she saw that the green skinned beautiful villainess really had fallen for the hero this time. "Then what if he rejects you? He has Supergirl from what I could tell."

Ivy smiled, amused. "I don't mind sharing," she said, a smirk sliding onto her plump lips. "But-but if he ultimately does reject my advances. I'll just have to deal with feeling that way for a while, but I'll get over it, and maybe somewhere there'll be a guy just for me, or a girl I guess as I'm not too picky, as long as they're worthy."

The Sapphire smiled; she felt a little jealous of those feelings but she realised that maybe she could start coping. "Hey, Ivy?" she said after a few moments of silence, regaining the green girl's attention. "I wish I had been that strong, and then I wouldn't have done some of the things I have. Hal has never abused his powers the way I'd abused mine, just because things changed... no on again, off again, and. I realised I was in love when it was too late, things had changed, and I was a bitch about it when it was partially my fault."

"Hey, girl, no use worrying now," Ivy replied with a grin. "I guess we're both screwed up, and because of love we've done some stupid things!" she said laughing. "If we were in the same cell, I would have cuddled you, but sorry, no can do."

"Thanks anyway; they do say it's the thought that counts," she replied and they both laughed together, somewhat comforted that maybe, this time, things would be different.

Back above ground, Galatea didn't know what to think as she had been shown her own private room in the Gotham Star Labs building within the apartment she would share with Harry and Kara. It had a huge bed and it was soft and comfortable, and then a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom with a shower, bath, and toilet for all of her needs.

She had half expected all of this to be a trap, but it wasn't. The hologram AI girl, Solar had stripped her, and done plenty of exams, and at the same time did a few scans of Supergirl. She felt odd being naked in front of Supergirl, and getting some evasive scans done, (even though she was her clone), but she wasn't mean or anything as she would expect.

If anything, Supergirl was kind to her. She had realised that it wasn't some ploy to control her, or force her to do anything. She had even been given some cute purple PJs to wear, they're comfortable. It had been odd leaving her room, bare-foot wearing something different, but she liked them.

Harry had been sitting on the couch playing with some holo-screens wearing some cream shorts and a white tee over his strong body. Supergirl was staying too, as it was late, so they didn't want to travel back to metropolis, and wore some short-short blue PJ bottoms and a matching sleeveless tee.

They had both greeted her and ordered some supper to be sent up. Though, from what she understood about Earth it was more of a dinner. However, having not tasted real food before she couldn't help but scoff and pig out on the tasty meal, and Harry and Kara encouraged her to enjoy herself.

It was about eleven when Harry suggested getting off to sleep for some rest, so they all retired to their rooms and Galatea slid under the covers, closing her eyes, she started drifting when she heard something interesting through the walls.

"I love you," Supergirl spoke, her voice so devoted that Galatea felt her own heart clench.

"I love you too, but what about your sister?!" he said, exasperated.

"It's okay. I want her to be happy too, but right now I need you, so bad," she replied, frustrated while Galatea looked through the wall to see them in their room, off again, on again kissing with tongue and passion. Kara's top was off, and Harry kept squeezing her beautiful breasts, and even sucking on her stiff pink nipples, each in turn.

Galatea had heard about sex, but never thought to look it up, so had never seen it. This was new to her, and she couldn't help but watch, her right hand slipping between the covers; her crouch was boiling hot, like it was on fire, and soaking wet at the same time, and she didn't know what to do about it. She didn't realise what she was doing while she watched; she just knew she wanted to, needed to, to feel good like them, as she touched herself.

It was only moments later that Harry seemed to just give in, fully wrapping his arms around Supergirl and giving her what she wanted, giving to her his body and heart. He held her up close to him, his hands grabbing her tight butt, pulling her up into his arms.

Kara's arms wrapped around Harry's neck, kissing him desperately, his lips on hers. His member was rucked up hard, pushed up against her butt, massively, causing him to groan. He laid her on their bed, sliding on top of her, pushing himself hard against her burning crotch.

Harry's hands wandered, sliding over her beautifully soft flesh, squeezing her firm, soft breasts, kissing them, suckling her beautiful pink nipples. She groaned out, pulling his head closer, her fingers playing through his hair.

He pulled back, pulling in his breath, letting her fiddle with his shirt for a moment before she just tore it open, tearing it off in her impatience, revealing his strong body, as his markings lit up, and his muscles pulsed with power.

Galatea watched through the wall, squeezing between her legs, whimpering in self-discovery, as she felt soaked straight through, and needy. She couldn't quite grasp these feelings but she did know something, if Harry could make Supergirl feel like that then, maybe he would make her feel that good too, as she stared at his penis as Kara was sucking it while it forced her jaws open all the way with its size, but for now, Galatea couldn't move and didn't want Supergirl to know she was watching something that look so personal, private and indescribable.

She would just have to stick to herself for now, and then sometime soon; she would make her move whether Supergirl was with them at the time or not; she didn't care, she just knew that she wanted to hold him like that, to feel something so important, like her sister; she wondered how 'it' tasted, but watching further, she could only watch as her sister squealed in pleasure, as it finally went in between her legs, and she was putty in Harry arms, as he kissed and licked at her as he pounded her with super strength while she could only cry out, panting for breath, and whimpering, as it stretched her open.
