Chapter Fifty Two: Resting

Chapter Fifty Two: Resting

Courtney Whitmore smiled as she walked around the lower forms of the RAO main headquarters. It was really easy for a girl to get lost if they were not careful or anyone to get lost for that matter. The blonde saw that there were numerous projects on the ground. The blonde was dressed in a black tank top that rode up slightly to show her toned midriff and also tight blue jeans. Her gorgeous blue eyes peered out into the distance.

"Wow," her friend, Mary Batson, said as she had deep jet black hair that went down past her shoulders. She wore a black tank top that clung to her young pert breasts and a pair of jeans, although they were not as tight as Courtney's.

"Well, I'd take that as high praise," Harry chuckled as he turned up to see the two girls.

"Oh….well Mr. Potter, um hi," Courtney said as she looked flushed and she shook her head. Talking to someone who was only about three or four years older than her or whatever and calling him Mr. Potter, well that was amusing. Mary smiled.

"I take it your little internship this summer made enough of an impression, that you decided to take the weekend program," Harry said and Mary jumped in, giving Harry a bright smile, the sixteen year old checking out what she perceived to be a handsome older man.

"Well something made more of an impression on her," Mary said as Courtney swallowed nervously, wishing that her friend would not be so….forward with what she was saying. The girl gave Harry a smile as she looked him up and down. "And I can see why something would have made such an impression and I'm sure if I stick around, you'd make an impression on me. I mean, given the rumors, you do make impressions on many females."

Harry raised an eyebrow, he gave her one of those smiles and Mary and Courtney suddenly felt a bit out of their depths. The two seventeen year old girls shuddered as they looked at him. "I have not the slightest idea of what you're trying to imply."

"Well I mean….you have many fans," Mary said hastily, as she realized that she might have been barking up the wrong tree. "Everyone knows who you are….you're in the paper every day about something and twice on Sundays, all over the Internet, there's an entire website that's devoted to…..well people who admire you."

Courtney hoped, preyed, whatever, that Harry did not go hunting on this message board for more information regarding his fanbase, because there was something a bit….disturbing about some of those fans. She was going to say no more but some of them….well they delved into the territory of creepy obsessed stalker nutjobs. Especially the one who had the handle of "HG1979", Courtney thought that girl had some problems.

Not that she didn't have any problems herself, teenage girl at all.

"Well, my parents….my step dad more or less, he thinks that I should get out of the house and make something for myself in the world, so here I am," Courtney said as she stared him down. "If you need anything from me, just say it, and I'll do it."

"That didn't sound suspect….at all," Mary said and Courtney groaned out one word.

"MARY!"

"I'm sure that I'll be seeing more of you two girls, around the RAO company, Lindsey will have to answer any questions if I'm not here or Lana," Harry told them and both girls nodded.

"We'll talk to you later, Harry," Mary said with a bright smile and Courtney did the same thing.

When they thought Harry was out of an earshot, Mary turned to Courtney. "You're right, you know, the pictures don't really do him much justice. He's really hotter in person."

"I know, the things that I'd do to him if I'd have the chance," Courtney said with a grin on her face as she thought about it.

"I think he could have a much larger staff for you to handle," Mary whispered to Courtney with a mischievous grin on her face.

"MARY!" Courtney said although she imagined handling Harry's staff for lack of a better term and that kept her up at night, making her wake up in a cold sweat and sticky sheets, mostly sticky sheets. The blonde decided to make with the busy work.

Kara and Gwen were stationed at the RAO Corporation today. Given that they were both technically on Spring Break, they had a little bit more time to step back and chill. Kara however ran across something that blew her mind.

"There was a message board post from this one guy," Gwen told Harry as he showed up. "It's got her spooked."

"Kara what is it?" Harry asked.

"There's this one guy from NASA, he claims to have run across a ship on a deep space mission," Kara said as she brought up the post. "The ship had….cities in bottles. And one of them….it resembles Kandor."

Harry frowned at this. "How…."

"I don't know, don't know if it's a hoax, or anything, but the way he describes it…..it can't be anything but Kandor, it's too much of a coincidence," Kara said as she closed her eyes and threw her head back, looking at it. "My friends were there, I wasn't, when the city just vanished one day."

"So, you think someone shrunk the city, and put it in a bottle to preserve it," Gwen said, it was interesting. "I'm not sure…..but I found something interesting that I think that you should know."

"What is it now?" Harry asked, switching topics from Kandor but then he added. "Kara, we'll look into it, don't go off on some search until we have all of the fact….so what is it, Gwen?"

"Miles Warren….you know my biology teacher at ESU…..well I did some digging into his past," Gwen said as she looked at him. "You know how in the past, when a teacher took interest in me, it didn't end too well."

"Yes, glad to see that you're learning," Harry said approvingly and his girlfriend just smiled.

"Well….Warren has quite the checkered past, his lab assistant was found smothered in his lab just about a year ago, Warren claims to have an alibi but the investigation was mysterious dropped due to a lack of evidence or his mysterious, high priced benefactor, most likely," Gwen said as she clicked through everything. "He's been asking me to stay after class, he even offered me an internship but I turned it down because I've got two already and there's just something about that guy who….registers about an eleven on the sliminess scale. And….he went to college in Metropolis….and his college roommate was….Lionel Luthor, but he also worked at OsCorp for a time, until he was fired."

"Why was he fired?" Harry asked and Gwen took a breath. "Or do you know…."

"I don't know, I haven't been able to break into the OsCorp records to check, Lionel changed the system, but I'm working on it," Gwen said as she shook her head. "But….a few years ago, he worked at another college and he married one of his students. The college canned him for that, but the girl….she vanished, without a trace, after filing for divorce. It's still a missing person case."

"Wonderful," Harry said, wondering what Warren was playing at but he saw a picture of a girl. She had blonde hair and a rather vapid expression on her face.

"Not exactly a top of her class person, seems to be the type of person to get taken in by an older, charming man, or what she thought was charming," Gwen said without taking a breath and there was a moment where she paused.

"He seems to have gotten into a higher class lately," Harry said and Gwen looked at him.

"I know, I've….put in for a transfer for a different teacher, and I'm actually presenting my case about him, this is why I'm doing all of this research, there were about three or four girls who dropped the class, all of them blondes, like his blushing bride here," Gwen said as she pointed the screen. "I don't know what his game is, but the deeper I dig, the more that I find out about him."

"If Warren tries anything, he'll regret it," Kara said as she took a different class than the one with Warren, although she had passed him in the hallway once or twice and did not like the looks that he gave her. She could take care of herself and it took every degree of self-control to not chuck him out of the window.

Given what she learned.

'Doctor Sandsmark doesn't like him either,' Diana thought. 'Unfortunately, he's too in with the administration for her to do anything.'

'Time for someone with a bit more clout to get involved,' Harry said with a knowing smile. 'And ESU is about up for another donation, their budget is being strained.'

'Oh, that's low…..'

'I'm thinking like a businessman, it pays to curry favor, and it's for a good cause,' Harry said. 'And Karen, you could teach the class, you do have the degrees to do it.'

'Yeah, and have every male pass out because they're fixated on a certain part of my body,' Karen thought with a smile.

'Well I can just fix you up an inhibitor watch, to make you look like a plain Jane teacher,' Harry offered and Karen sighed. 'Sure it might take a miracle to hide certain assets, but I'll manage it.'

'Let's worry about getting Warren first,' Chloe said, she got similar vibes about the man and didn't like it. Although she wondered if his college bride that got him fired was his only victim to whatever game he was playing.

Harry got a text from Lois, she had urgent news for him and knowing Lois, she was not just whistling Dixie either.

"This slipped my mind with all of the chaos that happened right after it, but I thought that you should get the heads up," Lois told Harry as the two of them walked up on the floor beneath Jameson's office at the Bugle. "Jameson….well there's no way to really put this, but…..there's someone who really has it out for him and it might be your old friend Graydon Creed….I know I should have told you sooner but it slipped my mind."

"Well, it's understandable, but tell me everything," Harry said and he waited for Lois to fill him in on everything that she heard, although she only held a fraction of it.

After she was finished talking, Lois looked at Harry, with a raised eyebrow. "So what do you think?"

Harry let out a long sigh as he pondered this. To say that Jameson was in a pickle, well that would be putting things mildly. "Jameson is out of town….which gives me more time to figure out what to do about this. I don't think that he would be the type to cave into blackmail."

"How much of it did you know about?" Lois pressed to Harry.

"Only hearsay," Harry said without missing a beat. He had heard stories about the Scorpion and the Spider Slayers from Gwen. The Mysterio thing when he first showed up, yeah that was just poor judgment on Jameson's part. His first wife was killed by a man wearing a mask so that caused him to become prejudiced to anyone wearing a mask. "I….I'm going to have to discuss this with him, but if the Bugle is to move forward, he might have to step down from his role."

"And you think that might flush Creed out in the open when his one attempt to control the paper has been removed," Lois said as she shrugged her shoulders. "I've been doing some digging, there was a Bugle employee about five years back who was released when he was believed to have ties to the mob. Fredrick Foswell his name was."

"Yes, the so called Big Man of Crime, although he might have been a patsy for the Kingpin, but he died in prison, they say it was a suicide, he hung himself with his own bedsheets," Harry said although it was obvious that he thought that this bullshit and he pretty much said it without saying it. "I need you to look up information regarding Miles Warren."

"The guy at ESU?" Lois asked and Harry nodded.

"Here's what Gwen found, I think that you'd find it rather suspect but you might be able to dig deeper in avenues she hadn't thought to explore, this guy's up to something, he might have killed two people and got away with it at least," Harry said and Lois read the file.

"He worked for Osborn, went to college with Lionel Luthor, seems to be pretty well connected," Lois said, and given that ESU received a couple of hefty donations from LuthorOsCorp, it was obvious someone in that company was pulling the purse strings. "But Osborn fired him, why?"

"I don't know, Gwen was trying to crack the records, I'm sure Chloe and Barbara are trying to get onto that as well, it must have been something really incriminating if Lionel wants it hidden," Harry told Lois and she whistled.

"Or maybe the younger Luthor was the one that made that call, he's been exerting more control over the New York branch as of late with his father taking all of those trips out of state," Lois reminded Harry and Harry nodded. Lois had an informant, the same informant that Harry did.

"We can't rule Lex out," Harry concluded thoughtfully and he bumped into Cat who was standing outside of Jameson's office, which was half open. "Um, Cat….hello."

"Hi, Harry, is Mr. Jameson back?" Cat asked and there was a moment where Harry looked at her curiously.

"No, not to my knowledge," Harry said as he could have sworn that there was someone in that office. The window in the back was open.

"It was locked the other day, both the window and the door," Lois said as she turned around.

'Great, we might have a ghost in here or something,' Harry thought as he scanned for traces of finger prints but found nothing, nothing other than a half open drawer with a couple of file folders that had been opened and hastily shoved back.

'So, they ransack Jameson's office, but take nothing?' Helena asked, she was going into detective mode right now.

"Very clever of whoever was doing this to come up here while everyone was at lunch," Lois said and Cat nodded.

"Yeah, I came up here, I forgot my bag, and I saw the door was open," Cat said as she watched Harry.

Harry cave her a surveying look and nodded, her story had passed the BS test with him. She nearly saw something but whoever went through Jameson's office, they were a bit too clever.

Harry searched high and low for fifteen minutes and found absolutely nothing. The files that had been monkeyed with had contained information about Foswell, which was not a good thing to say the least. It was when the initial news had broken and the investigation that undertook. The man who took photographs was a fresh faced young reporter by the name of Eddie Brock and Harry knew that he would be having to pay Mr. Brock a visit before too long, as he wondered if Brock tipped Creed and his goons off, regarding Jameson's potential ties to the Big Man and the Mob.

"So, nothing?" Cat asked as she looked at Harry's face for a reaction.

"Nothing that I can do," Harry told her as Cat nodded. The office was searched high and low and the Foswell files told him nothing that he did not already know. That pointed towards one thing, there was someone who was trying to slander Jameson and they might also be looking for information about him.

The only thing that could be put together was Har-Rell could be tied to the Star Child which was something that he was nervous about but he hoped that it would not end up being that bad.

"So….I guess that I'll be going to lunch right now," Cat said but Harry, amused by her sudden urgency to leave, stopped her.

"Cat, you fell asleep at your office desk the other day," Harry said to her and Cat looked a bit red in the face. "And you were muttering about me, seemed to be pretty vivid."

"I'm…."

"Catherine, I'm flattered, believe me, but you should be a bit more forward," Harry whispered to her and Cat looked at him.

She might have been bold and confident on the screen but real life, that showed a different story. Especially given one of her past relationships ended fairly badly. Her boyfriend from college was a creep, even though he seemed charming at first.

"I should and I will be, I like you Harry, but it's inappropriate…..although that doesn't stop you from being with Lois or Betty or Iris or Chloe," Cat said as she swallowed the lump in her throat nervously and decided to make a brazen decision.

She who hesitated was lost.

The blonde kissed Harry and suddenly, his strong arms wrapped around her, as she was about to pull away from the kiss to apologize for her sudden moment of insanity. The blonde's mind went numb as Harry deepened the kiss and explored every inch of her body.

"Just relax, and feel," Harry whispered as he tipped her back on the desk.

Cat could not believe it, actually she could believe it, because she dreamed about and she walked into the office with Harry in the act with Lois or Betty or Iris or some combination of the three a few times. She pretended that it did not happen.

Her legs were open and Harry's mouth was between her thighs. She could not…..

"Just relax," Harry whispered and he dove between her legs, her panties removed to see the rush of cool air and the blonde reporter felt the man of her dreams her pussy. This caused pure sexual fire to burn from her loins as he delved deeper into her.

"Oh god," Cat groaned as she felt Harry's tongue go into her. It did such wonderful things to her, so wonderful things. She was in heaven, she could not believe that the wonderful things that this magnificent young man's oral talents did to her.

Harry grinned despite himself, not wanting to overwhelm the poor female with too much at once. He attacked her gushing cunt with a few swipes of his tongue, going deeper into her. Her whining got even more prominent as she grabbed the back of his hair and encouraged him to dive deeper.

"Cumming, so….much," Cat whined, there was no toy that could make her feel as good as Harry could.

She wondered what it would be like to feel his cock down her throat. She unleashed her honey onto his face.

'I want you," Cat moaned as she got up and she slid off the desk. She struggled to get Harry's pants off.

"You might want to undo the belt," Harry whispered to her and Cat nodded, she was so nervous that the obvious solution did not come to her.

Lois watched from the side, along with Iris, Betty, and Chloe. The fact that Cat had an audience for her, well she was not bothered of it.

She saw the twelve inches of thick penis that nearly struck her in the cheek. Cat watched it, her eyes bugging out of the back of her head, wide as saucers. She slowly licked her lips and hummed as she saw the rod that danced out in front of her. The blonde wrapped her hand around the thick length.

"I'm not even sure that will fit in me," Cat said as she flushed but she experiemented with sticking the entire length in her mouth.

At first she gagged but then she stayed the course. Her throat closed around his cock as she managed to get most of it into her.

Her blouse was unbuttoned and her firm breasts were exposed. The wizard grabbed her delicious tits, squeezing them. There was a loud moan as she worked him over.

"Oh that's so hot," Lois whispered and Iris quickly ripped her skirt off and sunk several fingers into her dripping twat.

"Yes, I can tell," Iris breathed in Lois's ear and she gave her a super powered fingering which caused Lois to lose her mind.

"Oh, that looks like fun," Betty said and Chloe had her down on the desk.

"Yeah, you smell like you're having fun," Chloe said with a predatory smile as she ripped Betty's panties off and revealed her smooth snatch. She prepared her fingers, about ready to dig into the area between her legs.

Betty arched her hips up and Chloe stuck her tongue into her. The spunky young blonde sure knew how to eat a pussy.

"Please, Harry, I need you inside me," Cat purred and Harry lifted her up.

"Brace yourself," Harry whispered and Cat nodded, as her moist hot thighs ached for some meat between them. She never experienced this before and she wanted her first time to be with a sex god.

Even though she was sure that she was going to get spoiled for life. Never the less, her pussy was prepped for him and his large tool was about ready to be slammed deep into her weighting vagina.

Cat closed her eyes, as she felt his organ enter her. First her mind exploded into a sensation of pain and then there was pleasure, lots of pleasure. Her tight hips rotated around him as she bounced up and down. The blonde closed her eyes as she kept riding him.

Chloe was now eating Betty's pussy out and she could feel the tell tail sign of something hard brushing against her. There was an aura given off by Harry that no one not in the know was going to question this.

She felt a draft and her pussy appeared exposed. His cock brushed against her dripping hot slit and he prepped himself to enter her. Chloe closed her eyes and relaxed, to feel the rush of what was going to be buried between her thighs.

'YES!' she thought as Harry went into her as deep as he could. The blonde's thighs clenched the invading rod and she felt so many amazing things.

Lois was getting a super powerful fingering but she managed to return the favor.

Iris moaned as her clit was being furiously rubbed by a Lantern construct.

"That's….not regulation purposes…." Iris mewled as Lois rammed the green energy dildo between Isis's legs.

She had forgot to finger Lois but another Harry dupe took over.

"Oh, hi….FUCK YES!" Lois moaned as Harry slid into her body. The dark haired woman felt his throbbing cock enter her and he rammed into her pussy. She returned fire, lifting her hips up.

Cat's mind was rocked with more pleasure that her young body had experienced. Harry's strong and experienced hands blew her slightly inexperienced mind. The blonde rocked her hips up against his rod as she kept working him over. The blonde felt Harry's hand cup her tight ass.

She could not believe it, she had never experienced these many orgasms, not by her own fingers, not by any toys, not by anything else. The blonde kept rotating her hips against his tool and she bounced up and down. Her panting escalated.

"Oh, I want this, thank you," Cat mewled but Harry turned her over.

Her legs tightened around him as he drove himself into her. Each time his cock entered her pussy, he seemed to get deeper, explore areas that she never thought that she had. Her hands snaked around his neck as the blonde felt her walls tighten around him.

"So good," Cat whimpered as his rod went as far down into her as he could imagine. The blonde pumped her hips up and Harry could bury even more deep into her. He was balls deep in her gushing pussy and every single moment, well it was amazing.

Cat whimpered as her ass got smacked and her mind was being bombarded. She could see the orgy around the office, she was pretty sure that Harry just split himself into three parts. She quickly dismissed that as an after effect of her over orgasmed addled brain.

"Further, deeper, harder!" Cat begged him.

"Are you sure?" Harry questioned, stalling his strokes and she mewled in pleasure, grabbing his arm, and scratching it to encourage him.

"Yessss!" she purred lustfully and Harry held onto her hips as she hung on for the right.

Heaven, that's where these actions took her, Cat's mind blew up again as Harry pushed in and out between her legs. She rocked her hips backwards, moaning and grinding against his invading rod.

Iris felt a vacancy between her legs and the redhead could feel Harry's member slide between her walls. The redhead closed her eyes and she pumped her hips up towards him at super speed.

"So good," Iris said as the two of them worked back and forth against each other at the speed of light. Their minds worked into hyper drive with each other and Harry held onto her hips, spearing as far back into her as he could go.

The redhead whimpered as Harry penetrated her with a few more thrusts, stretching out her quim and she closed around him. Lois used some green energy clamps to manipulate her breasts as another Harry dupe sawed into Lois from behind.

The orgy of sweaty, hot young flesh continued, right inside the office of the jolly one himself, J. Jonah Jameson. Things were getting far more intense.

Betty now was being drilled into a side table and loving every moment of it.

'Oh, make me cum, that's so good!" Betty whimpered as her walls closed around Harry and he pumped into her, rocking her body. Her eyes closed shut as she threw her head back and mewled to the heavens. There was a loud shriek that pierced the ears of everyone who could hear it.

"Damn, you're fucking loud," Chloe moaned but she had no room to talk as Harry's thick length buried deep between her legs, over and over again, each thrust becoming more powerful as he kept hammering the beautiful young blonde. She gripped the edge of the table as Harry pounded her hard into it, thrusting into her.

Cat moaned as she nearly passed out but hung on just long enough for Harry to inject his white hot cum into her. She rode out his orgasm and collapsed on his chest.

A grin of satisfaction spread over her face as her brains had been fucked out.

"Your sister has her memories completely back, there's no point in keeping her here," Harry told Crystal and Medusa turned up next to her, nodding with a smile on her face.

"Yes, and it's thanks to Harry here, he managed to trigger something in my mind," Medusa said, the only thing that she could not remember was the incident that caused her memories to be blanked in the first place. And Harry had several telepaths working on her, but perhaps it was too traumatic for her to remember. He decided to just let it be.

"And I'm grateful," Crystal said with a smile on her face as she looked at Harry, a wide grin on her face. She was happy that her sister was back to normal although there would be some parts about what happened that terrified her just a little bit. She really hoped that things would be back to normal. "The rest of us, we'll be happy to see her back home."

"And I guess that will stop giving you reason to come here," Harry told Crystal and the redhead smiled at him.

"Actually, I don't need a reason to see someone like yourself, the legend of the Star Child is far and wide throughout the universe," the redhead said in a gushing tone.

"And now, I'm sure that you'll be honored, that the royal wedding of the Inhumanes can go on," Medusa said, she was having her misgivings about this, as any woman might have, but it was to hold the kingdom together. And it was not like her to be was bad, although he was not much of a talker for obvious reasons. Which mean that he had to be a good listener.

"Well, congratulations for that," Harry said.

"I hope for many happy years," Medusa said as she looked at Harry. Although she could not help but think that she missed her chance. "And I think that I can speak for everyone when I say that you are welcomed to visit always."

"Always," Crystal piped in as she placed her hands on the side of her hips and grinned at Harry, giving him a hint. "Maybe I can give you a grand tour of the royal palace."

"I would appreciate that," Harry said to her and Medusa smiled as she leaned forward and planted a slight kiss on his cheek.

"Thank you for returning my memories, it's appreciated," Medusa said as she looked at Harry with an adoring gaze in her eyes but she shook it off.

"Yes, I appreciate what you did for my sister as well," Crystal said as she threw her arms around Harry's waist and gave him a brazen kiss.

Their lips lingered on each other for a moment, but Crystal pulled away before she got too attached to them and did not want to leave.

"We'll see each other sooner rather than later, I suspect," Crystal said as she threw her head back, her red hair flowing freely down her back.

Medusa shook her head, she had imagined doing much more with Harry, but she was practically married. The incident that caused her memories to be wiped had once again caused about a year of her life to disappear and she was getting it back.

"The portal will take you back home," Harry informed the two redhead females and they both nodded. "Good luck and good fortune."

"Thank you once more," Medusa said as she hesitated for a moment, thinking about staying but with great grace and even greater reluctance, stepped into the portal.

"I'll see you soon, Harry," Crystal said as she looked back at him, a smoldering gaze dancing through her eyes as she entered the portal.

"Well, you have a thing with royalty, don't you?" Diana asked as she turned up and Harry turned his attention with her.

"So, did you talk to Doctor Sandsmark?" Harry asked, getting right down to business.

Diana nodded. "Well once I brought up Warren's name, she had some interesting stories to tell. There have been a few girls who have mentioned that Warren has taken an unnatural interest about them and suggested that they should do some extra work for him to help improve their grades. Not all of them are keen scientific minds, although a couple of them are pretty bright."

"Do any of them have anything in common other than being blonde?" Harry asked.

"No, that's the common trait, and Doctor Sandsmark mentioned to mentioned to me that she went to the ESU board several times to tell them these complaints and how these girls feared for their life, but they said that Warren had been vouched for and they were likely making things up because they had a fractured home life," Diana said and Harry thought of something.

'Chloe, punch up something for me, I want you to find all of the information you can about that girl that Warren married that disappeared,' Harry said.

'Right, the girl's real name was Joyce Delaney, it's uncanny how much she resembles Gwen…..actually it's kind of freaky,' Chloe stated as she tried to put her mind. 'Her parents died when she was young, she lived with her older sister, who was a teacher at the college, and she was introduced to Warren that way. The older sister was the one that got Warren fired as well….she may have had a thing for him as well.'

'Oh, the tangled web that we weave,' Harry thought.

'Her parents….they were part of…..Project Weapon X up in Canada," Chloe said.

'Well, this gets more interesting the more information comes out,' Gwen said as she wondered what Warren had to do with it. 'And there were notes that Joyce left with after her marriage with Warren, and they were never recovered.'

'Weapon X….yes, but we shut that play down, didn't we?' Kitty asked and there was a nod of confirmation.

'I don't like this, I don't like any of this, because you know who else has ties with Project Weapon X?' Gwen asked.

'HYDRA and…..Nathaniel Essex worked with them in the early 1950s briefly,' Chloe confirmed, as they wondered if there was a more sinister motive behind Warren's actions and his interest regarding Gwen.

'Warren has so many possible seedy connections, I don't even know where to begin,' Harry thought. 'Lois is trying to find out how he got canned from OsCorp and why, but there's a couple of snags and Creed's trying to blackmail Jameson.'

'You worry about Jameson, I'll see what more I can dig up on our Professor,' Gwen thought.

Diana remained silent, things were getting even more intense. Warren seemed to have a lot more connections than he should, being a lowly biology teacher at college.

Harry felt he was missing one key piece to the puzzle but when he found it out, he would be in a lot better shape.

"Things in Atlantis are working rather well," Tula admitted to Harry as she bit down on her lip and threw her head back. "You know, I hope that you stop by for a visit, Mera and I would like to have you and I guess in his own twisted way Namor might actually appreciate someone from the surface world coming down."

Harry stared at Tula as she showed up on the holographic projection screen and the redhead shrugged her shoulders.

"Yeah, I know, that's even a bit farfetched even for me," Tula admitted as she chewed down on the side of her mouth and shook her head. "We have to go, we'll talk to you again after a little while, as I'm sure you have a lot to do."

"Yes, and if you need anything you know how to get in touch with me," Harry said to her.

"Likewise," Tula said as she wished that she could have a chance to visit Harry in purpose and really explore what getting to know him meant but the stars did not align.

"So, is your captive prisoner talking yet?"

"Hello, Nyssa," Harry said as she had been waiting patiently for him to complete the call. "Jade…..well I'm not sure that she knows as much as she is letting on that she knows. The League might not have told her all that much, wouldn't they?"

"No, Cheshire was only someone who was sent out to do the dirty work, that was her job, she might have picked up on a few things, but overall, she was just a pawn for the overall League, a blade that was skilled to serve a purpose, a tool," Nyssa admitted as she took the chair that Harry offered her. "Even my sister….well she might have been under the assumption that she is valuable, but my father….he does not see her as anything other than a means to the end, a means to continue his legacy."

"And your father seems to have gone into seclusion," Harry said to her and Nyssa nodded as she kept her eyes firmly locked onto those of Harry's.

"I do not pretend to know every single detail that goes through the head of Ra's Al Ghul but I think that Shiva should be the one that you should keep a close eye, she's always in the shadows, always waiting, always watching," Nyssa warned her.

Cassandra told him that her mother was one of the greatest assassins that the League of Shadows ever had underneath their employ and that was saying something. Harry had waited for her to make her move but so far, she had not struck.

"I'll be seeing you at the usual time, this week," Nyssa said, as there was a hint that they would be going into more intimate details, along with the rest of the Church.

Harry smiled as Kitty showed up to keep him company, along with Lana.

"You seem to be burning the oils quite heavily," Lana suggested to him and Harry shrugged his shoulders.

"Well to be fair, there's always a lot to do," Harry remarked to himself as he brushed his hair from his eyes and gave a lengthy sigh. He would have liked to say a bit more but to be honest, he was really pushing the bounds to it. "So are you are you ready for your vacation that you're taking in a couple of weeks?"

"Oh yes, back to Smallville, to visit some family I have over there," Lana said as she looked at Harry with a smile. "It's kind of a quaint town really, the type of place where everyone knows everywhere and you wouldn't think of everything strange happening."

"Seems like a peaceful existence, so why come to New York?" Harry asked and Lana was sharp enough to come up with an answer of some sort.

"Well….that's just it, there wasn't all that much excitement," Lana pondered as she threw her head back and a long sigh escaped from her lips. The redhead kept her hands firmly upon the desk. "I do like my life to spark up."

"Well, good thing we can all….go off to one of the three islands that Harry seems to have claimed for his own or something," Kitty suggested, as she had spent a few weeks with the Amazons and brushed up on her fighting skills. And by brushing up on her fighting skills, it meant that she got her ass kicked.

She thought that a good ass kicking built character all things considered.

All Harry could do was wait regarding the two investigations in his life that were ongoing. The Jameson thing and what Creed was doing. If he could follow the trail of who Creed's stooge was, he could track down the man and put a stop to him. Although, as much as Harry loathed to admit it, there would always be idiots like Creed.

The Friends of Humanity did their job in trying to spread a better word against mutants on online forums and they made sure to empathize that there were good and bad mutants, just like there were good and bad people, so people should be judged by who they were, and not what they were. Harry lead the charge and he met some supportive people, some people who had been blinded by their own prejudice, and a few trolls.

The Warren thing grew more baffling. Gwen had managed to get a transfer out of class, after Harry leaned on the board and he also paid off Warren's student teacher to take a leave, replacing her with someone who he could trust could more than handle herself if Warren tried anything skeevey.

She wanted her chance to prove herself and she was more than capable of it.

Harry looked up as there was a low pitched wail. A girl stood in front of his desk, looking like she was in a trance. Her eyes glowed and her mouth hung halfway open. Her head shook from side to side. She had long dark hair that was parted evenly down the sides. She had dark eyes as well, along with a black top and blue jeans.

"Hello, can we help you?" Lana asked but the girl turned, her eyes darted around.

"Help me, my name is Danielle Moonstar, you need to help me, before it's too late," she said as she looked straight forward, not making eye contact with any of them. "PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE IT's TOO LATE!"

Harry opened his mouth. "Okay, just…."

Words failed him as the girl who was there for a second was gone a second later. And he walked over, the doors were not opened, either for the girl to enter the room or for the girl to exit it.

There was no trace that she had ever been here in the first place.
