Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Fall of Olympus Part Six.

Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Fall of Olympus Part Six.

Carol got over her initial shock from seeing the blueprints. That caused them to talk with each over for several more hours about the possibility of the two companies working together. Right now, they were still in the feeling out process, so it was nothing definite just yet.

"You'd still need to meet with my father before anything can be signed off at the very least," Carol told them. She frowned before she added as an afterthough. "And I need to look at a couple of points regarding the logistics back at Ferris Air."

"But, it looks like things are moving forward?" Harry asked her.

Carol nodded in response. "Yes, it looks like things are moving over quite nicely. Like I said, I'm going to have to take things back to Ferris Air and look it over with my father, but….I think that we're on the right track. And it's a pleasure doing business with you..

"Karen and I will meet with your father, if that's needed," Faora informed Carol.

Carol nodded in response and agreed with a smile. "That idea would be for the best I think."

"We would have normally invited you out for dinner to help celebrate the business deal," Harry added. "But, unfortunately we have to attend that entire grand opening thing at the Olympus tonight."

"The PR work is never done, I take it?" Carol asked him. She knew the feeling. Harry nodded and smiled at her. "Well, it's just as well because I am feeling a little tired tonight. But, I'll be in town for a couple more days, so if you have any concerns, I'll be sure to find the time to hear them. And I might take you up on that dinner offer as well."

Harry couldn't help but notice that last part was added a little wistfully, perhaps a little hopefully.

"Well, I'm sure that something can be arranged," Harry said with a chuckle. He was amused by the hopeful look dancing in her eyes. "Tamara, could you please show Carol out of the building?"

Tamara nodded and she led Carol out of the office, after one last handshake. Harry, Faora, and Karen were left with each other, with Jaime having slipped out right behind them.

"So, how about we head to the penthouse and pick up something to eat before we go out later?" Harry asked them.

Faora smiled and nodded. "That would be a pretty good idea….and there's something that I wanted to bring up as well."

"What is it?" Harry asked, when the two packed up their things and made their way outside of the office to the penthouse.

"Well, I was looking through a couple of the General's flies," Faora informed him. Harry nodded. "And I came across the blueprints for a solar powered fuel cell that's actually quite clever for something that appears to be of his own designs; as a matter of fact…..it's clever enough that it might be possible for us to make use of it in the near future. Considering, that we've been looking towards the creation of some clean energy sources."

Harry nodded in response. Karen's eyes averted towards Faora in surprise and honestly a bit of shock.

"I wasn't….well I'm kind of surprised that Dru-Zod was capable of something like that," Karen said. She frowned. "Guess, that he was capable of doing more than destroying things like Kandor and Krypton."

'Ouch,' Kara thought. She braced herself for some kind of impact.

"You know, he was capable of much more, much like Zor-El was capable of doing more than destroying things as well," Faora said in an icy tone when she glared at Karen with narrowed eyes. She crossed her arms over her chest with an icy stare and gave Karen the look.

'Double ouch,' Donna thought.

'Well, it was well warranted on both accounts,' Kara thought. 'My father was a bit of a brilliant idiot and Faora's father…..yes let's not go there and dig up old skeletons.'

'There's one in every family,' Lily thought.

'That's for damn sure,' Rose muttered. 'A couple in ours.'

"Unfortunately, there's a couple in ours,' Lily agreed with a dry tone.

Karen grew rather sheepish for a moment. Harry stood back, not wanting to get involved in this argument between the two Alphas.

"I guess that I get what you're saying," Karen told her. She raised her eyebrow. "But, I guess that he was known more for his military efforts than his scientific ones."

"You do have a point there," Faora conceded grudgingly. "But, he was known to be a contemporary of Jor-El and Alura for a reason. And in his own way, he was just as brilliant as the two of them. Case in point."

Faora paused and pointed her finger back towards Harry.

"Har-Zod's was the greatest example of the General's brilliance," Faora said.

"His greatest work," Karen said. She smiled at it.

"That I won't argue with you at all," Faora agreed. "But the fact that he went insane in his later days didn't really diminish his brilliance in any way. Unfortunately, people do remember their last impressions."

Faora sighed and shook her head. She was getting off of the subject. "Back to the matter at hand, there's a lot of potential in the fuel cell. So Har, do you want me to look into developing it any further? It will be a long time project, and we do have a fair bit on our plates."

"It doesn't hurt to think of the future though, now," Karen said. She and Faora waited for Harry's reaction. The young man was deep in thought.

He had his arms crossed and leaned back against the wall, largely staying silent for most of the conversation. Harry gestured in the direction of the elevator. Both of the girls followed him inside.

"It doesn't sound like a horrible idea," Harry informed her. Faora nodded. "But the three of us cannot give it the focus that is necessary right now. Because, as you mentioned, we have a lot on our plates."

Faora nodded, that made sense. She figured that Harry had a solution for that.

"I'd like you to give the files to Alura to look over, to see if there are any changes that she can make to them, or alternatively, make sure that the fuel cell isn't some sort of clean energy bomb that the General was messing around with," Harry said. "And then after that, I can look at them personally.

Faora nodded in response. Karen piped in. "That sounds like a good idea. If anyone can do something with it, it's my mother."

It was at that point where the elevator reached the penthouse. The trio stepped out into the chaos that is the Penthouse.

Or to be more particular, they stepped into the scene of Vicki being in the middle of being interrogated by Reilly. Harry caught snatches of the conversation, regarding some of the photos that Vicki published back when she was a photo journalist, along with the fact that she used to be roommates at university with a woman named Betty Brant.

Harry caught the eye of Gwen and Barbara, who looked on in amusement. They smiled, and had to duck their heads to keep the straight face on.

From that point, Harry, Faora, and Karen were able to make out several of the younger girls in the living room. They were doing homework and watching television. Two of them happened to be both Donna and Cassie. Cassie's presence in the penthouse caused Harry to raise his eyebrow curiously.

'Diana, what's your current location?' Harry asked her through the bond link.

Diana was able to answer promptly, but she was distracted. 'I'm in the lair with Dinah, we're trying to figure out information about this woman that Professor McElroy met.'

Harry made his excuses. "I forgot something in my office, I'll be right back in a minute."

He said that loudly so that everyone was able to hear that. In another flash, Harry was able to slip inside the Elevator and make his way down to the Lair.

The elevator might have been fast, but it was still an elevator. No matter how fast it was, it still took some time for Harry to get from point a to point b. Harry slowly stepped off of the elevator and stopped to find Dinah sitting on the couch looking through a box of files belong to her mother. They pertained to some of the cases she was involved with and some of the people she encountered back when she was a vigilante. Dinah knew that she had to find that one missing piece of information and she would have it.

The name Lorelei kept popping into her mind as well. Dinah was missing that bridging gap. When she found the concrete information, she would know for sure.

Diana, on the other hand, was hard at work putting together some gear of her own. It was done just in case it was needed tonight. The Amazon Princess handily converted some of her armor for a specific purpose.

It would be a bit obvious if she started running around in a full-suit of Amazon armor, but she could use some of it for usage. She used mostly her breastplate, her tiara, and a pair of gauntlets to go with her bracers. Other than that, she's continuing to wear her leather jacket along with a pair of leather pants.

She thought that she was pretty good on the way of weapons. Her bracers could change into a sword and a shield. She also had a longbow and a quiver of arrows she could summon as it was needed.

Harry frowned when he looked at her. He could tell exactly how tightly wound the disappearance of her mentor had left his wife. He slowly moved over and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed the top of her head, burying his face in her hair.

Diana tensed up for a moment, but she melted backwards into her. He squeezed around her harder in response. He considered asking if she was okay, but it was obvious enough that she wasn't. It would be for the best if held her just a little bit longer.

The Amazon Princess was about ready to say something. She was interrupted by a slight "aha" from Dinah.

"Sorry, I finally found the file that I was looking for," Dinah said. She looked a bit sheepish at the sudden outburst, but recovered fairly nicely.

Harry gently let go of Diana. He was stalled from pulling away from Diana fully and grabbed his hand to hold it. She intertwined her fingers into his. He responded by squeezing her hand in response.

With their hands connected, Harry leaned forward to Dinah. "What did you find?"

"My mother encountered a woman who was named the Siren, and her real name was Lorlei Circe," Dinah explained to him. Harry looked at her, with a pondering expression etched on his face. "She encountered her several times during her career as Black Canary. And she had some sort of gift that allowed her to ensnare the minds of men and got them to do what she wanted to do."

"So, she normally did the seductress routine," Harry concluded and Dinah responded in affirmation.

"Basically, she found a wealthy influential man, bent them to her will, and used them until they were no longer useful to her, and then she moved on," Dinah informed both of them. "That's how my mother encounter in her the first place. The Siren went for my father, although she was just my mother's boyfriend at that time. After he gained a bit of fame for solving a difficult case, that put him in the Siren's crosshairs."

She smiled and shook her head when she took that trip back down memory lane.

"That lead to the two of them coming to blows for the first time, although it was the first of many," Dinah added. "In any case, with her powers, it would have been easy for her to befuddle and amuse McElroy, especially with his head injury."

"So we have a suspect," Harry said.

"But, there's one problem, Circe died several years back of cancer a couple of years before my mother did," Dinah replied. She frowned. "So unless she came back from the dead or has a daughter we don't know about, we're back to square one again."

This caused Diana to scowl and grit her teeth in response. Diana detached herself from Harry and slammed her fist through the closest surface. In this case, it was the table next to her. Time stood still before the rest of the table ended up shattering in the aftermath of that particular reaction.

Dinah took a step back in surprise, getting far away from the situation. An angry Diana is not something that she saw pretty often, so it was a formidable look.

Harry stepped forward, knowing that he had to take decisive action before things got too out of hand. He grabbed Diana firmly by the hair and pulled her into a deep and hungry kiss.

For a brief second, Diana resisted for a moment. She actually growled in warning when she didn't roll away.

Harry was a persistent individual no matter what. He kept deepening the kiss between the two of them. She decided to return fire with an added fury.

Diana kissed Harry hard, using the force that would bruise a normal man's lips. Harry allowed her to gain a bit of leverage over him.

Dinah frowned and didn't want to be left out of the fun. She situated herself behind the two of them. The blonde woman pressed herself against Diana's back and planted a hungry kiss to the back of her neck.

Diana closed her eyes and felt Dinah slowly start to suck the skin off of the back of her neck. She felt herself pressed between the two of them.

Harry's strong hands explored every single inch of her body and that really felt great. Things were about ready to get really amazing from here and was about to heat up fast.

Dinah detached herself from Diana after a second and Harry took Diana down to the couch in the lair.

She was pressed down beneath him, ready for him to take her. Her hips lifted eagerly for him to enter her and take her forcefully.

Harry slowly teased Diana. She was so tense and she deserved the loving care that he could give her. His hands played with her breasts when he kept squeezing them.

Diana felt Harry's hands work over her body. Her soul mate was playing with her. He touched her nipples and caused a pleasurable fire to explode through her body.

Dinah played her part in the fun and games. Slowly she unraveled Harry. She made sure Diana had her eyes on Harry.

"Good things come to those who wait," Dinah whispered. She reached around and grabbed Harry's cock, slowly stroking it. She placed her lips to the side of Harry's ear and stroked it. "Wouldn't you agree?"

"Yes," Harry grunted. He felt Dinah's soft hand work him to a full erection.

"I need it," Diana begged him.

Harry smiled. He could smell her desire grow for him. The young man stepped forward and placed his thumb at the edge her entrance. Dinah leaned down and played with Diana's tits as well.

This duel assault was driving Diana absolutely nuts. The Amazon Princess couldn't help the double team assault. She wanted more, she wanted so much more.

Harry's finger entered her. Diana panted when Harry roughly fingered her at super speed. That caused her hips to rise and lower when Harry pushed his finger into her body.

Eventually, Harry released everything Diana's juices saturated onto his finger. Slowly, Harry pulled out and offered Dinah a taste.

Dinah greedily took his finger. Her hot mouth wrapped around his finger. The blonde closed her eyes when she slowly sucked.

"Enjoying yourself?" Harry inquired. Dinah nodded eagerly with Harry's finger still submerged in her mouth.

Her tongue traced over his finger and she withdrew the juices from them. The blonde goddess pulled away from him and hunger danced from her eyes. Harry turned around and looked at Diana.

Diana raised her legs and wrapped them around Harry's body. She rolled him over onto the bed.

"The time for teasing is over," Diana moaned. She grabbed Harry around the chest and pushed herself down onto him.

Her tight cunt muscles contracted around his tool. Harry groaned when he felt the Amazon Goddess work her way up and down his pole. He felt her wrapped tightly around him when she kept bouncing up and down.

"Feels good, doesn't it?" Diana asked him. She cooed when she came down onto the base of his cock. She buried his thick and throbbing tool deep into her womanhood.

"You tell me, and we'll both know," Harry informed her.

Diana felt his throbbing cock spear into her. It pulsed inside her and she kept working herself down onto him. She was glad that her mate allowed her this gift to rise herself up onto Harry's throbbing manhood and pushed herself down onto him.

Harry reached around and Diana wrapped her arms around him. She pushed her face into her breasts, burying his face in between her cleavage. Diana hugged around his head when she kept moaning.

Dinah was now stripped down to a pair of bra and panties. She sat on the chair, watching the two connect and unconnect with each other. The blonde goddess inserted one finger into her dripping hot vagina and pumped into herself. She was not going to say anything. She bit down on her lip and realized that no matter what, that felt so hot and she had to have even more of it.

Diana thought that she was going to come undone. She thanked herself for this blessing.

Harry took control before she knew it. The next thing Diana knew was she was face down. Harry's hands grabbed onto the back of her head.

"Time for you to feel how dominating I can be," Harry whispered into her ear. He spiked his throbbing manhood into her.

Diana's walls spread to accommodate him. "Yes, fuck me, harder."

"Yes, fuck her, harder," Dinah agreed. She diddled herself working onto her hand.

Dinah shivered from head to toe when she saw that Harry's gaze came onto hers. He gave her a shifty little smile.

"Don't worry, Dinah, your turn will be pretty soon," Harry grunted. He pushed into her.

Dinah could feel her anticipation raise when Harry shoved himself into Diana and pulled out of her.

Diana was still with Harry and enjoying every moment where she was still with him. Harry rocked into her. He fucked her hard.

All good things had to wrap up to a close eventually. The duel sensations of Harry fingering Diana's anus and plowing her pussy with his cock caused Diana to lose her mind. The young man drilled himself into her as hard as he could from his vantage point. His rapid fire thrusts caused the dark haired goddess to lose her mind when he worked into her.

Diana closed her eyes tightly. "Cum for me, please, I need it.

"Don't worry, you have it," Harry stated.

He plowed into her with one more thrust. His balls released their tribute into Diana. A load of seed splattered into her pussy. It coated her walls with some amazing juices. She clenched down onto him when he plowed into her fields. Diana's slick walls collapsed around him when he rocked back and forth inside her body.

Diana's eyes grew heavily lidded with pleasure the more that Harry planted his load inside her body. Several thrusts brought her to the edge of her passion.

Harry pulled out of her and Diana collapsed down onto the bed. The juices flooded from her body.

Dinah crawled over towards the Amazon sexily. The blonde haired woman crawled between Diana's legs and slowly began to suck the juices from between her legs.

Harry watched her and his cock grew erect, Dinah looked at him, her hair draping over his face.

"All for me," Dinah breathed. Her legs draped over his lap. She was still clad in fishnets, but not much else.

Her soft, tight cunt speared down onto Harry's tool.

"All for you, if you can handle it," Harry said.

Dinah closed her eyes to allow herself to immerse herself into the sensations the beautiful crime fighter was about to feel. She liked it how Harry's hands played with her ass. The beautiful blonde raised herself high into the air and dropped herself down onto his massive cock. The blonde felt her tight cunt wrap around him.

Harry's balls felt rather heavy and she lowered herself down onto them.

Diana managed to come to her senses. She was greeted by the increasingly erotic and lovely sight of Dinah bouncing her way up and down on Harry's tool. She kept pushing herself up and down onto him, riding Harry. She rocked herself backward and arched her back. Dinah allowed a soft and sensational moan to escape from the back of her throat.

She kept coming up and down onto Harry. Her riding increased.

"Diana, you dirty bitch," Dinah mewled.

"Don't pretend you don't like it," Harry informed her.

Diana finger fucked Dinah's ass while she rode Harry. The Amazon Princess wasn't about ready to get knocked out of the ring for long.

Dinah felt Harry's talented mouth lavish her breasts. The blonde whimpered the more that he played with her.

Her gushing cunt allowed his throbbing tool to effortlessly slide into her body. Dinah felt him touch her in some many amazing ways.

Harry paid attention to the soft, firm flesh of her tits. He really started playing with her. His hunger grew the more that he sucked her nipples. He wrapped his mouth around her tit and closed his eyes.

Dinah mewled when she came down onto Harry's tool. Her soft walls collapsed around him and she kept riding him over and over again. She allowed herself to work up a frenzy the more that she continued to have a go at him.

The deeper he pushed into her, the better things felt. Dinah closed around him.

"Finish her off, and it's time for another round," Diana begged him.

"Don't count me out yet….princess,' Dinah moaned. She spread her legs when her tight walls closed around him.

Dinah allowed Harry to plow into her. Her hot thighs came down onto her hips. Dinah grinded against him, reading to bring herself down onto his tool.

Harry could feel the friction. The dripping hot cunt of Dinah pushed down onto his throbbing tool. Harry grunted when he felt her inside him.

"Close enough," Harry informed her. He held Dinah, her tight pussy gripping him.

Dinah and Harry both came at the same time and it felt so good. The blonde heroine pumped herself up and down Harry's tool, milking him of every single last drop of his cum.

The blonde collapsed onto him, feeling pretty good.

Diana was seconds away from taking her spot. She was on her hands and knees still which allowed Harry to swoop in perfectly.

Harry arrived out on the town, dressed to kill in a custom made tailored suit. It was along the lines of a tuxedo, but it was not quite that way. It did fit him like a glove. He was in the company of the lovely Juno Jones. She was dressed in a lovely golden dress. There was a very long slit coming down the left side which comes to about mid-thigh. Further up her right side, there was a slit on the right side just coming before her ribs. It had an extremely classy toga like feel with it.

The two of them dressed out of the elevator and into Maxie Zeus's new club known as Olympus. It was at the tip top of the tallest building in Gotham City.

"The building itself belongs to Rupert Thorne," Juno informed Harry when they made their way around.

The two of them were here at the grand opening, and the entire place had an entire Greek Temple feel to it. It offered an extremely nice view of Gotham City beneath.

'I can't help, but think that this place pales in comparison to the real Olympus,' Harry thought to himself.

Maxmilian Zeus developed into a bit of a power house in the Restaurant and Club Scene. Therefore, the rest of the Gotham City Elite were out in full force. Several of the girls were there, and Harry was sure that there were too much to count. He noticed Alexa, Sapphire, and Tamara when he and Juno made their way into the club.

Veronica, Kathy kane, Kate Kane, Kara, Karen, Selina, and Faora were all there. Harry noticed his mother and aunt there. Rose and Lily acted a bit like the twins, although slightly more subdued. It was not subdued enough not to see where they got it from.

'All of the stars out tonight, aren't they?' Rose asked.

'Both good and bad, ' Lily confirmed. She noticed a couple of the lower end members of the Gotham City elite as well.

Harry noticed Mario Falcone in particular there, with a pair of bodyguards. Selina was regarding him fairly coolly from halfway across the room, but she slipped into the distance.

His gaze fell on Bruce Wayne, who had two famous models attached to each arm, keeping up the Billionaire Playboy image. Harry noticed that one of them is eying him up like a piece of meat.

'Well, that's not surprising,' Kara thought.

He noticed that Sofia joined Mario. Mario looked at Selina, but his sister grabbed his arm. Roman Sionis was sitting in the background, with his flavor of the week, looking on with a smile. Rupert Thorne naturally was there due to the fact that he owned the building.

Tony Zucco and Jefferson Skeevers also turned up. Harry frowned and he noticed that Dudley was there, along with Tracey.

'Guess that Cobblepot couldn't attend the meeting, so they showed up to represent him,' Lily thought. She viewed her nephew's sad attempt of sophistication with great disdain, but didn't say much of anything. 'It does seem like a collection of the best and the brightest.'

'In addition to the not so best and brightest,' Rose added. She looked around, and smiled.

'Don't even think about it,' Lily warned her sister.

'I wasn't going to think about it,' Rose said, letting out a low and obvious whine.

There was a variety of people that came in and out. Juno seemed a bit bored.

"It can get rather…..redundant to talk to all of these people," Juno informed him in a low voice.

Harry could see that it was a strain for her to play nice with a lot of these people.

"Oh, Marie!" Juno shouted, as she caught sight of a rather fetching looking red head, who was famous in certain circles. She was wearing an extremely fetching red dress that fit her quite nicely. "Harry, this is Marie Logan, Marie, this is Dr. Harry Potter."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Potter, "Marie said with a smile when she walked towards him. "I've followed your work and with all that you've done, I have to say that I'm impressed and a bit overwhelmed. How do you find the time in the day to do all that you do, anyway?"

Harry dryly chuckled and gave her a smile. "It isn't easy. And you've become famous in certain circles."

"Oh, yes, that," Marie said. She closed her eyes. "It was a one season wonder that seems to have gotten a cult following. It wasn't even that big of a part."

Harry took note of her expression and her tone. It was obvious what she was considering.

"I was referring to the fact that I'm a fan of your charitable work with animals, in fact it was one of the charities that the SLF decided to contribute a sizeable portion with this year," Harry said. He paused and waited for the expression to flow over Megan's face.

Needless to say, she blushed rather brightly and started to stammer out a little bit. "Sorry, sorry, I just thought….."

Marie decided to shut up right now, before she stuck her foot even more firmly in her mouth. She had a really bad habit of doing that at the worst possible times.

"And I'm a fan of your movie work and you should not be defined by that one part," Harry informed her. Marie nodded. "And I have to admit, Hello Megan is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine."

It was at that point, Rose and Selina joined them.

"Miss Logan, my name is Selina Kyle, and I have to say that I'm a big fan of your charitable work, more people should take an interest in what you're doing," Selina said with a smile.

Marie looked at her and nodded. "And I'm glad to say that I share that belief."

"My name is Rose Evans, I work for the Shining Light Foundation, and I was wondering if our charities might be able to do some work together," Rose said to her.

Marie looked at the other redhead and gave a bit of a bright smile. "I think that there might be a chance that the both of us could do some work together."

Harry and Juno said their quick goodbyes and allowed the two of them to talk about their nearby business.

"Do you mind if we head out to the balcony?" Juno asked him. Harry raised his eyebrow in response. "I think that some fresh air will do well in clearing my head."

"I think after all we've seen so far, some fresh air will do both of us rather good," Harry said.

Juno gave a round of musical laughter and smiled. "Lovely."

The two of them decided to swipe a glass of wine from a waiter that happened to be passing by. Unfortunately, they didn't make it out to the balcony, when they also ran into a drunk out of his mind Oliver Queen.

Oliver looked like he seen better days. He stopped his progress at the party and sized Harry up.

'Oh, no,' Dinah said. She lowered her head into her hands and sighed.

"Harry Potter, I've wanted to meet you for some time," Oliver said, and he staggered forward. He grabbed onto a startled party guest to try and prevent himself from collapsing. He extended his hand for Harry to shake.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Queen," Harry said. He acted polite.

'Well, maybe this wasn't….maybe this won't be so bad,' Karen suggested in a consoling manner to Dinah.

'Yeah, fucking right, rich idiot with a high blood alcohol content,' Daphne chimed in. 'There's no fucking way that this doesn't end really badly.'

Oliver removed his hand from Harry's hand and jabbed him in the chest. "You know, I suspect you think that you're clever."

"I don't know what you're referring to," Harry said to him.

"Oh, you've just decided to swoop in and snatch up my sloppy seconds!" Oliver yelled.

'Oh you mother fucker!' Dinah snapped through the bond link. It was a good thing that she wasn't there, because she would have knocked him the fuck out.

Harry was reigning in all of his self-control. He reminded himself that the fucker was drunk, although breaking his jaw might have given him a wake up call. He balled up his fist, mentally counted to one hundred.

It was hard to keep his cool when he had Oliver Queen's drunken breath all up in his face. "Dinah and I, we're destined for each other…..and you know, another thing….you know another thing."

Harry stepped back and it was through some sheer miracle of silence that Oliver didn't fall flat on his face. "You better stay away from my little sister."

Oliver nearly slumped against the table.

'Huh, I didn't know that he had a younger sister,' Harry muttered.

'Yeah, Thea, I ran into her a couple of times, when our families met for….Veritas related things,' Patricia explained.

"We should hang out sometime," Oliver slurred. He staggered off to get another drink, not like he needed to.

A very annoyed and confused Harry was standing there. He kept his cool.

"You know, you did a good job in keeping your cool back there," Juno muttered in her ear.

'More than I would have,' Dinah thought. She was still seething. It was a damn good thing that she wasn't there.

Before Harry could discuss this situation any further, the music grinded to a stop. The lights slowly dimmed and there was the type of environment that lead to immense fanfare. It was the type of atmosphere that was pretty much all showed.

An amount of armed thugs walked into place, forming a circle around the crowd. Maximilian Zeus stepped out onto the stage wearing a toga, a pair of gauntlets, and he carried a spear that head a head that looked like a lightning built. A beautiful young brunette stood beside him that was dressed in a toga and looked to be around the same age of Dinah.

The most shocking that was Maxie stood hand in hand with Helena Sandsmark, who dressed in a toga of her own. That caused everyone to start buzzing loudly and many to wonder what the hell was going on.

The old Gotham City Public Library was abandoned after a new building was constructed as a part of Mayor Grange's efforts to improve the city. Much like a lot of the other older buildings in Gotham City, this building had a rather gothic atmosphere to it, so it looked fairly imposing with a lot of elaborate architecture, a lot of stone, and heavy looking wood spread out throughout the place. The building was fairly big, with a lot of open space inside.

A lot of furniture and shelving was left behind due it being heavy wood and bolted to the ground in many instances. There were more than a lot of places to hide.

That proved why this would be an ideal location to hold a meeting where some illicitly gained goods were traded.

Oswald Cobblepot, Edgar Prince, and Chang-Tzu entered their building. Their men swarmed the place earlier to secure it, so they could lay an ambush for Magpie and her mysterious buyer.

There was only one problem with this entire mess. There was no sign of her or her mysterious buyer. And the night wasn't getting any younger.

Oswald gritted his teeth in a particularly fierce manner. "Your boy promised that we could find them here and I had to meet the opening of Maxie Zeus's club for this."

It was obvious why he was pissed off. Not showing up at a big event would result in a loss of prestige in the eyes of certain status conscious people. It was an even bigger kick to the nuts because the reason why he decided to return to Gotham City in the first place was to regain the prestige and influence his father squandered to undo the Waynes.

"Yes, prestige is very important, and I'm sure that you're going to have to work hard to regain a lot of it now," Edgar said dryly. "It seems like no matter what you try to do, the Cobblepots are always considered to be second best."

"Third best, you forgot about the Evans family," Chang-Tzu reminded him. "They have gotten the better of you in the past, have they not?"

Oswald gripped his umbrella firmly. He did not need to be reminded about the Waynes or the Evans. Especially the Evans, because reminding him about that reminded him about Harry Fucking Potter and if he ever thought about that smug little shit ever again, it will be all too soon. The loss of his Iceberg Longue was still a sore subject.

He clutched the handle of his umbrella so hard that one might swear that it would crack underneath the force that he exerted.

The trio stepped into a room with several long heavy oak wood tables. Three large windows gave them a view of a wild looking court yard. On top of the greenery, the windows once gave anyone who looked out them a spectacular view of the ocean. That was before a parking garage blocked them.

Oswald was sick of having the piss taken out of him. He snapped his fingers and his men pulled their weapons on Chang-Tzu and Edgar. Both of them didn't look too surprised at this.

"I'm going to ask you one more time, what are your plans for the egg?" Cobblepot asked. Both of them looked at him. "You see, it's not that I don't believe you when you see they won't have any effect on my business. But I honestly don't believe ya when I hear you say that it won't have any effect on my business. So right here, right now, you're going to tell me what you're up to, and if I like the tale you're going to be telling me, we keep doing business."

Cobblepot took a calming breath.

"If not, my boys are going to pump you so full of lead, that Swiss cheese will look air tight in comparison."

Edgar adjusted his gloves, in a bored and almost lazy manner. It was obvious what he was doing instantly. He held a small egg shaped grenade in his hands.

"GET YOU'RE HANDS UP!" one of the thugs yelled.

"Of course," Edgar commented. He slowly complied.

That caused the thug to get hit in the head by Oswald with a silenced pistol. The man fell to the ground and Oswald looked at the other men. "While I like the lad's initiative, we're trying to have a civil discussion, and there's no need to be rude now. Talk it out amongst yourselves boys, but be quick about it. We do have a schedule to keep tonight, don't we?"

Cobblepot stepped back and allowed Chang and Edgar to go into a bit of a huddle and they were speaking in hushed voices.

"It wouldn't hurt to tell him that it wouldn't cut into his bottom line," Chang-Tzu whispered.

"Yes, we should have eggspected that it would come to this," Edgar said. He slowly lifted his head up after a long beat later. "The Crystal Egg is a very old artifact….."

"You're just spitting out a bunch of old news, lad," Cobblepot warned him.

"It's a very old, very powerful magical artifact that when used in a certain ritual it is supposed to bring great fortune to the people who have it in their position," Edgar replied.

"We thought give that you're well known disdain for the arcane, it wouldn't be something that you would be interested in," Chang-Tzu stated. He looked into Cobblepot's eyes. "Either way, it will have a minimal effect on your bottom line."

The mere mention of magic caused the Penguin's face to curl up into absolute disgust. The mention of a fortune caused him to overlook that dislike for magic. His curiosity bubbled to the surface.

The end result gave the impression that he looked more like he was constipated than anything else. He leaned forward with a greedy glint dancing in his eyes.

"So, what kind of fortune are we talking about?" Cobblepot asked.

"Boss, look!" one of his men yelled, pointing out a light in the parking garage.

That allowed Edgar to launch his secret weapon, the egg in his hand. It smashed open and explodes. A choking smoke screen was sent throughout the group.

That brought the Penguin and his men into an immense coughing fit. The two Masterminds of Crime slipped into the distance.

The Penguin coughed with an angry squawk before turning towards his men. "What are you lazy arses fucking waiting for? GO GET THEM!"

This particular parking garage was a parking garage that was typical of the parking garages in all of the worst parts of Gotham. Half of the cars have already been broken into and the only reason why the other half of the cars haven't been broken into was that they didn't hold anything of particular value.

Magpie slunk into the scene towards one of the stairwells towards the level where she was supposed to meet with her mysterious buyer.

To be honest, she wasn't expecting any trouble because nobody was supposed to know that this deal is going down, but she was still wary because something caused her to be edge.

She got some rest in the past day, stashed the money she stole from Penguin somewhere safe, and moved the Egg into a much more portable container. A sturdy looking leather satchel was the container she used to be exact.

Magpie reached her desired level, the fourth floor, instead of the top floor. She stepped out of the stairwell and onto the deck area. She slinked past several cars and made out a person standing in the shadows.

The thief closed the distance between the two of them, but stopped about ten feet. Magpie was going to wait for the buyer to meet her half-way, since she wasn't about to be the one to come to him.

The buyer shook his head and stepped from the shadows to reveal himself fully. It could be seen quite plainly that he was dressed rather oddly, in an old-timey manner.

"That's really odd," Magpie muttered. "The way you're dressed…."

"Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones," the man told her briskly. The woman's eyebrows rose. "Do you have the goods?"

She was about to open her mouth.

"Do not be a stereotype," the Bookworm said, almost as if he plucked her own words from her mouth. "I wouldn't have even bothered to show up if I did not have my part of this transaction."

This statement caused Magpie to narrow her eyes. She slowly gazed at him, her eyebrow raised.

Slowly, she reached into the Satchel and pulled out a small object about the size of a child's fist wrapped in a cloth. She revealed it to him.

He nodded his head at the sight of it. A small bag was thrown at her feet. Magpie stooped down and saw that the money was there, intact.

Magpie slowly counted the stack of bills. When she was sure that all of the money was there, the woman forked the money over towards him.

The transaction was now completed and both were about ready to move on with their lives. Or at least they were had they not been interrupted by the sound of people who rushed up the stairs in their general direction.

Maxie Zeus made quite the entrance, revealing himself to the club. He stood next to both the Siren and Helena Sandsmark. The three of them were dressed up like one might imagine a Greek God to be.

His men took time to strip his guests of their various weapons and herded his guests into what basically amounted into the ball room. He could preside better over his worshippers in that way.

Some of the personalities involved were not willing to play ball. One of his guards smacked some of them in the back of the head with the butt of his rifle.

"Come before me, and kneel before me, kneel before me, for your god!" Maxie bellowed.

'Please tell me he's joking,' Faora thought. She wished that she and the other girls could do something, but things were too crowded and there were way too many witnesses.

They had to wait for the moment. Harry thought that if he could have a clear shot at Zeus, he could take him out. Any of the girls might have but the problem was causing his men to return fire and harming any of the civilians.

"Zeus, the King of the Gods, has returned to preside over you and I have brought forth with me, Hera, my Queen!" Maxie bellowed. He clasped the hand of Helena Sandsmark. Her eyes looked like she was glazed over.

Juno let out the slightest and most subtle of all snorts. That caused Harry to look at her with a bemused expression.

"I have granted you the honor to come here before me on Olympus, to usher in a new age of the gods," Maxie continued. His bellowing got even more prominent. "I will preside over Gotham City and I will rule over all through a great and glorious future!"

Maxie's eyes shifted around. Everyone seemed to be too shocked to say anything or too terrified.

"But, alas, there are some undesirables who infest my kingdom, and they seek to undermine my authority!" Maxie yelled. "They will be controlled or they will be destroyed."

One of Mario Falcone's mouthier associates popped off. "Yeah, how are you going to do that, oh great Zeus?"

Maxie raised the spear and annihilated him with a blast of lightning right before the eyes of everyone.

Juno looked on with widened eyes. Harry caught her muttering out of the side of her mouth. "I can't believe someone found it."

'And we found Helena, and she's underneath some kind of spell,' Harry said to the girls through the bond link. 'We don't know exactly how this happened, but none of us can reach her through the bond.'

'Yeah, that does pose a problem,' Kara said. 'What I wouldn't give to smack that smug asshole in the face and shove that spear straight up his…..'

'Yes, Kara, thank you, darling,' Harry interrupted dryly. 'But remember, there are civilians and his men look to be the type to shoot first and ask questions….well maybe never.'

"Fear of power is a good means to control the subject, but only the truly unimportant and rebellious will suffer that fate!" Maxie bellowed. "There are other ways, more pleasurable ones….but first I must deal with the snake within the kingdom."

Maxie turned his spear towards Harry Potter and he began to charge it. Faora was about to step in, but Harry shook his head. It was likely that Kara and Karen were both behind her as well.

"NO!" the woman by Zeus's side yelled. She freaked out at what Zeus was about to do.

The bonded were freaking out and frustrated. They couldn't intervene no matter what.

Maxie turned towards Lorelei with narrowed eyes.

"You promised me that I could have Potter, if I got you your prize and I did, several times over," she told him. Some of her power ensnared him to get him to comply a bit more.

"Very well, then, take Hades then," Maxie said in a dry voice. His tone grew rather amused when he added one more caveat as an afterthought. "If you think that you can hold him, that is."

Lorelei reached over and grabbed Harry by the hand. "Come with me, and leave….leave and be free, be with me forever."

Harry looked at her body. It was hard to deny that she was an attractive young woman.

"Yes, you want all of this," she sang. She stroked the side of his cheek. "And you can have it, all of it, and more."

Harry smiled as she leaned forward for a kiss. A Veela's allure didn't work on him, so this Siren song that she was using didn't work as well. He stepped back and commented without a rather dry. "No thanks, I don't know where you've been."

The woman's eyes widened. No one had broken her spell. The fact he was able to resist her made her want him even more.

"I don't think that you understand!" she yelled, losing her temper and increasing her allure. "You can be with me forever, you can be mine forever, and I will make you feel so good…..let Zeus have Gotham City….it's just going to collapse under its own corruption anyway."

She put so much power into her voice that it ensnared other males and most of the other females with the exception of Juno and the bonded.

"Well, honey….." Harry said, leaning forward, a goofy grin on his face. Lorelei looked triumphant and braced herself for her reward. Harry leaned forward, acting like he was going to kiss her. At the very last second he stopped and grew serious. "No."

Lorelei curled her lips up and stammered. "But….but….but…..!"

Maxie bellowed at the top of his lungs. "It's time to end this charade…..if Hades can't be controlled and I am not allowed to kill him, then history will be repeated and he will be cast out of Olympus once again!"

The demented man kicked Harry backwards hard and sent him crashing through the plate glass window. Harry hurled towards the Gotham City streets below.
