Batman did resist going to the infirmary, he pointed out that he couldn't afford to be out of action for weeks, he made many valid arguments... until Harry asked Green Lantern how long it took for his injuries to heal, Harry also asked if Batman was so badly hurt he would need Wonder Woman to carry him, or maybe Superman?
With a grudging "fine," Batman took the lift with Harry down to the medical center, they didn't hear it but both knew that the other League members were laughing. Harry led Batman to a treatment bed and had the tech's give a full workup, did he need to? no, did it annoy Batman? possible but who can tell?
Once he had been put through many tests Harry handed him a few pills and watched him take them,
"You didn't need all those tests done did you?" Batman asked,
Harry smiled, "It's never wise to ignore your healer, those pills will make you feel awful for a few hours but once that's over you'll be at full health and will probably feel much better than your used to," Harry explained, "and next time you get hurt I expect you to be here as soon as possible, don't make me turn you into something cute and fluffy," Batman remained expressionless.
The next morning Harry sat in the training observation room watching as Batman tested himself, he pushed himself very hard and tested his limits, he then pushed harder and found where he couldn't go past.
"satisfied?" Harry asked the beaten bruise of a man as he handed him another pill, "last one for a week, no throwing yourself into a meat grinder till after that, understood?"
"I'll take it under advisement," Batman replied to Harry's annoyance, and as he walked away, "you do good work, and we give our approval for the facility,"
"never gonna call it a Magical Hospital are you?" Harry smirked,
"feel free to keep the suit, I have several and it's an older one anyway," Batman shocked Harry, how had he known that Harry had duplicated one of the spare Batsuits? he'd left the original behind.
Sirius and Perenelle were working hard, they had begun to hire staff and trainers healers for the hospital, getting equipment and supplies together as well as portkeys for the staff, talking to Gringotts about security due to the nature of the patients there could be supervillains who would try to find and attack the hospital, the Goblins loved the challenge. Problem was they still had not received the official permission they needed and hoped that this would not be a massive waste of time, effort, and money.]
Nick was very bored, he had nothing interesting to do, he helped with the paperwork and other things but this was not his area, he wanted something to get his teeth into, and was getting restless. It was just in time when a Goblin dropped off a package for Nick, it had arrived with the documentation they had been waiting for, there was a note with several requirements for functions and enchantments, and most challenging of all was the need for it to work for a person who had no magic, Nick opened the container and his eyes lit up as he took in the symbol.
While Nick worked on the gift for Batman Harry was hard at work for a gift for superman, at first Harry wanted to eliminate Superman's weakness to Kryptonite in all it's forms after reading about all the problems the radioactive rock caused, but as his research went on he realised he could do something unique for Clark.
After consulting with several Goblin Masters and a few Wizards who were known for their enchanting skill, it was done, the prototype would work and although it looked kind of like cheap and nasty costume jewelry it would do the job until he could make something a little less embarrassing, he began to produce a copy for Supergirl when his comlink activated.
Standing behind the Martian Harry spoke up, "HI J'ONN, what did you need,"
"GAH!" the Manhunter jumped, "must you always do that?!"
"Pretty much, after all no one else can, and new experiences are valuable," Harry grinned,
"We had a call from Batman, some type of plant has incapacitated Superman," J'onn explained,
"Really? can't be a physical attack it'd never get through his skin, possibly psychic, maybe magical? both? i'd have to exa-" while Harry was thinking out loud J'onn led him to the teleporter and transported him mid sentence,
"mine the plant to- MERLINS FROZEN NUTSACK IT'S COLD!" Harry equipped his armor quickly, then spoke into the comlink, "Very funny Martian, although I did kinda deserve it,"
"Proceed with caution, we have lost contact with Batman and Wonder woman," came the reply and Harry was all business.
Going in full stealth turned out to be a very good idea as Harry recognised the being dressed in purple who was getting punched by Wonder Woman only for her hands to get more hurt than he was, Mongul a powerful warlord who had been beaten by Superman, Harry ignored the fighting and focused on the plant.
It was definitely magical, similar to a species that had gone extinct as it had been over harvested for potion ingredients and improper care for the plant itself. It was using Superman but not his powers it seemed to be feeding on the positive emotions he was feeling, maybe he could lure it off him with a better food source?
It was then Batman came back and began to try to remove the plant with a laser, then using some gizmo to examine it, Harry dropped his invisibility,
"We need to get this off him, Diana can only hold out for so long,"
"It's similar to an extinct magical plant, it feeds off emotions and is not too dangerous to you or Diana as long as it does not latch on to you,"
Batman looked towards the hole in the wall "she's in the hall of weapons, that'll buy her time, can you remove it?"
"yes I can, just keep your distance, and make sure Superman deals with Mongul fast, EXPECTO PATRONUM!"
The patronus hadn't even fully formed before the plant abandoned it's current meal for the buffet, it latched onto the cloud of silvery mist as an enraged man of steel flew off to deliver a beat down with a side of whoopass, a second later the patronus failed and the plant attacked Harry who put up as strong a shield as he could.
Batman helped a beaten and bloody Diana back through the hole to find Harry protected by a blue shimmering barrier as the plant wrapped around it and began slamming vines against it, he placed her down and attempter to help only to get slapped away by the plant, Diana tried to stand but was so badly injured she was unable.
Superman was seeing red as he laid into Mongul, he screamed at the ex warlord in his rage and continued to pummel him, Mongul did manage to fight back but Kal-El was too much when fueled by his rage, the warlord began to fear he had gone too far, had he enraged his foe into a bloodfury?
The barrier began to crack and fade, Harry poured more magic into it but the plant was seriously powerful, perhaps Superman's power had infused it a little?
Mongul was almost unconscious his face badly beaten, Superman stopped as his attention was drawn to the statue he was damaging in his rage and he began to regain control of himself before he heard Batman shout, he slammed his opponent one last time knocking him out and flew off as fast as he could,
Harry was blacking out, the sheer amount of magic he was using simply to keep the Prtego going was too much his vision began to tunnel as he blacked out. Batman watched as the barrier shattered and the plant constricted around Healer, his armor began to buckle and the plant shot a thorn trough his chest,
"CLARK IT'S KILLING HIM!"
