Harry happily read the report sent by Hero's Respite, Alfred Pennyworth was making a rapid recovery, although his illness was advanced the potion was successful in eliminating it, and due to his health being surprisingly excellent for his age, he recovered quickly, he was then given the same potions to treat his natural deterioration, apparently he parkoured his way across the ward before adjusting his tie and saying "Quite Excellent,"

Harley was a mess, once freed from the love potion she broke down, the things the Joker had done to her and made her do had her sobbing, but comfort came from an unlikely source, since they were undergoing the same treatment Harley and Ivy had been placed in the 'Purge Spa' a five star spa facility with many hot springs and swimming pools, the staff went in and found a crying Harley being cradled by a now 7 feet tall Ivy, her skin was now a light shade of green with her fingers and toes a mix of pink and yellow, her hair was a rainbow of colors and she was gently rocking the smaller woman stroking her hair.

Cheetah was more easily treated, she had suffered an accidental exposure to a mutagenic compound which fused her DNA with the hair tie she use to tie her hair up with, she had not known it was made from an actual animal, she was then mutated into a cheetah hybrid and spent years stealing to try and fund research into reversing her condition, with a lock of hair her mother had kept and a modified polyjuice potion they were able to change her back permanently.

It occurred to him he hadn't checked in with Question in a while, he should inform his faceless friend that Harley was cured and didn't need investigating anymore, he accessed the league communications and couldn't get through which was odd, going to the monitor he tried calling Question's room directly but still no answer, closing the window Harry accessed a forum that Question set up for people he trusted so pretty much Harry, the last topic was about Supergirl having nightmares, what had Harry rise from his seat, activate his armor, turn invisible and apparate away was the last line on the page, 'could be a problem' was Question's way of saying very dangerous.

"NO! I CAN DO THIS!" was what Harry heard as he silently appeared, they were in some city he didn't recognise and there was Supergirl, Green Arrow, Question, and an older version of Supergirl?!

Before he could make sense of what was happening everything seem to explode, the older Supergirl screamed as a beam of yellow energy engulfed her, and then the city began to vanish as the grid behind it appeared, apparently it was some sort of simulation.

"TOO LATE!" Supergirl called as she grabbed Arrow and Question and flew up and through the roof as the building exploded,

*oh crap* Harry thought as the roof came down.

Fleur was excited, her first few weeks at Hero's Respite Harry's brainchild had been extraordinary, although many of the injuries treated were simple cuts and bruises, Broken Bones, and one female heroine in a red and gold Bodice of leather and segmented metal had been turned into a pig, what these people had done to get there injuries was inspiring, they placed themselves in harm's was to protect those who couldn't protect themselves, from simple muggers to giant super-intelligent apes, it was a lot to take in.

She was pulled from her thoughts by the sound of an unscheduled apparition and rushed into the receiving room where she found two people, one was sprawled on the floor it's hand being held by the other, both were black as sackcloth covered in soot and ash, the standing on coughed out a cloud of black and spoke,

"That was... a lot,"

"Harry! non non non! you are filthy, hold still," Fleur waved her wand and both were cleaned,

Harry seemed unhurt, "Thanks Fleur, I'm not sure what I just leaped into but I intend to find out, for now we have a patient, I wand her *cough* want her on a hostile watch, Kryptonian protocols, red sun filters and pure kryptonite power restraint,"

Fleur nodded, "Understood Director Potter," she said rushing off to get assistance, while Harry cleaned himself up, once the Kryptonian was safely restrained and her treatment began he apperated back to the watchtower ward where he found Question, Arrow, and Supergirl, she was fine and they had minor injuries,

"You three, my office, NOW" Harry ordered,

Question and Arrow simply walked in, Supergirl looked like she was about to be grounded, Harry sat there and just waited for a moment,

"So Kara, what happened?" Harry asked,

"Well, I um, Jonn couldn't help me so..."

"You decided to come and see the magical doctor?... oh wait no, you didn't" Harry snarked,

"I uh, well, it didn't occur to me that you could help," she explained hesitantly,

it was fairly funny that this girl who could bench press mountains was intimidated by him, "Tell me what happened, from the start,"

They explained what had happened and about the fight between Kara and the clone, Harry glared at Green Arrow, "so you thought it was a good idea to ignore the advice Question gave you? and I remind you that Question is in the league mostly due to the fact he is one of the greatest investigators there is, even Batman is not as good at investigation and digging up information as this man,"

Arrow actually looked a little embarrassed, "well when you put it like that-" he was interrupted by a flash of light as a report fell onto the desk before Harry,

"One moment please," Harry asked as he quickly skimmed the report, "hmmm... I have things to attend to, Kara would you and your cousin please meet me at Hero's Respite as soon as possible, gentlemen unless you need treatment I believe we are done," Arrow and Question nodded and left, Kara rushed off to find Clark.

It took a few hours before Clark and Kara arrived at HR, the emergency portkeys could also be manually activated for non life threatening injuries, also HR now had a rather nice hot spring spa for relaxation as well a treatment, it was where Harley and Ivy were recovering, Ivy was euphoric at the nature around her as well as the abundance of magical plants being cultivated and harvested, she was overjoyed to be told she could work and possibly live on the island, Harley was currently inseparable from Ivy and Ivy was very protective of her after what she had been through.

Kara was shocked when she entered the treatment room to find the clone of her asleep on the bed and immediately adopted a defensive stance,

"Is it safe for her to be so lightly restrained?" Kara asked worried,

Harry smiled, "Quite safe, this" he points to the power restraint, "is similar to the device I gave you Clark but it has a security rune so it can only be removed by someone not wearing it, so if a bad guy somehow gets hold of one it's not hard to remove,"

Clark looked impressed, "what can you tell us about her? do you know where she came from?"

Harry motioned and led them into an adjoining room where they found Martha and Johnathon Kent,

"Mom Dad? has Harry filled you in?" Clark asked,

Martha nodded, "Yes we have been told everything, once Harry has caught you up we need to make a decision as a family, this won't be easy for the two of you so you may need these if you think you'll need them," and she handed them each a power restraint, "you don't need someone else to take it off," Clark and Kara looked worried and sat down,

Harry took a steadying breath, "Her name is Galatea, and as far as we can tell she is a clone of supergirl with minor differences, her Genetics are stable so she will not become like Bizarro, but... she is psychotic and enjoys killing,"

He gives them a few seconds to process, "We have examined her mind and so has Manhunter and he agrees that she is not a person," he holds up a hand to stop their reaction, "by that I mean she has next to no real memories, the only actual memories she has are of killing people, sometimes brutally," he puts his hand on Kara's shoulder and looks at her, "I'm sorry to say that includes General Hardcastle,"

Kara's eyes go wide, "No... oh god I led her to him, it my-" "NO!" Harry interrupts, "Don't think for a second that this is your fault, you were not the one to send her after him or order her to kill him, even she doesn't know who issues the orders, but his fate is not your fault or responsibility, don't claim credit for the crimes of others it helps no one, given her powers she would have found him eventually," Clark hugs Kara and gives Harry a grateful nod,

Harry hands out a few drinks including a shot of firewhiskey for Kara and Clark, and leaves them for a few minutes to process, while he takes a look in on Galatea.

Clark, Kara, John and Martha quietly discuss what could happen to Galatea, but since they don't know her condition they are unsure what will happen, a few minutes later Harry returns looking mildly surprised and Kara asks a question,

"Harry, I'm not sure but, I think she looked a bit younger than when I fought her, is that possible?"

Harry smiles slightly, "Actually it is, we have her on a flushing treatment to remove anything from her body that isn't natural, at first a few devices were expelled, a communicator and tracker, a small kryptonite bomb, and... a neural feedback chip," he finished darkly,

John and Martha looked confused, "A what?" John asked,

Clark filled them in, "It's a torture device, beyond illegal, it was probably used to control her," he shook his head in dismay that anyone could be so barbaric,

"You Kryptonians have quite the metabolism, with the growth drugs removed her body is reverting to it's true age, we have helped a bit with magic to make the process safer but we estimate within a few hours she will be physically restored to her true age, which we estimate to be between 12 to 16 months old,"

Kara looked like someone had just slapped her, "she's a baby?!"

Harry nodded, "Pretty much, and as your clone we class her as your sister, but now comes the hard choice,"

"She is very badly messed up mentally, she is not safe to be let out in public and definitely not with her powers, we have two treatment options that have the best chance of working, the first is the traditional one, psychological therapy, it will take years to fix the damage to her mind and even then she will suffer a lot of guilt and other problems, the second choice is a clean slate, we can use magic to obliterate her memories and personality such as it is and allow her to start off like any other child, there may be other options but they have less chance of working, for now we will keep her sedated and comfortable, as you are the closest she has to family, the choice is yours," Harry left them to their decision.
