Chapter 2: World Under Siege Part Two

Chapter Two "World Under Siege Part Two."

Zod and Harry stood face to face, so close their noses were almost touching. Both of them were ready to bring the fight to the other.

It was now or never for both of them. Both were calculating, intelligent, and Zod kept his eyes on Harry, not backing off for a second.

"You think that you can stop me?" Zod asked him and Harry locked his eyes onto the General's. After the first blast of heat vision, both of them were knocked back. "You think you can stand up to me?"

"There's no thinking about it," Harry offered him with a slight smirk on his face as he kept his gaze locked firmly onto his adversary as his eyes glowed brighter than the city lights. Heat vision was tempted, teased. His vibrant Emerald Eyes teased burning through him.

Whatever Brainiac and Jax-Ur did to Osborn's body granted Dru-Zod all of the powers that Har-Rell had, but Harry was guessing that it also granted him all of the weaknesses.

'Lana, are you there?' Harry thought directly to her over the bond link.

'Harry….oh god, I don't know what's happening, wait….I thought…?'

'Never mind that right now, get Project Nine online at RAO HQ, I think we need something to tip the scales,' Harry thought as he blocked Zod's fist when he tried to cheap shot him.

'Project Nine, that's….that's….'

'I know what it is Lana, get it online. Preferably right now,' Harry ordered her gently as he grabbed Zod's hand and then drilled him with a huge knee strike to the face.

It was a good thing that the person Zod was possessing, was someone that he didn't particularly like in the first place. Therefore, it was easy for him not to hold back. His elbows rocketed against the crazed dictator's head. A loud crunch resounded at the point where the elbow connected. Zod launched himself out of the way of another spinning elbow strike.

Harry saw the point of his elbow coming down but the wizard dodged out of the way. His heart thumped across his chest and Harry kept moving around, from the left, to the right, and everywhere in between to try and frustrate Zod into making a careless mistake.

Harry and Zod looked like two rapidly moving blurs to those watching them fight on the ground below. Though only the trained fighters where able to track their movements. An average person wouldn't even be able to make the out the fight between them at all.

Zod rushed towards Harry with his fist extended, only for Harry grab him by the throat and then drag him up the closest building at super speed.

With a grunt of exertion the General used the control had over Osborn's body to twist suddenly and drill him Har-Rell with a huge punch to the chest. There was a loud bang as the blow connected sending Harry flying to the ground at an angle which caused him to bounce, skipping along it like a stone thrown across a lake.

Coming to a halt, Harry pushed himself up onto his hands and knees then used his super breath to blow dust on the ground at Zod's feet up into the air in an attempted to blind him.

Using the time this distraction offered him, he slipped on a pair of brass knuckles. Thanks to the Goblin formula Osborn's body was immune to magical attacks. This just meant that Harry needed to be creative with how he applied it. Place his hand behind his back to hide the knuckles from view he waited for Zod to close in on him.

CRACK!

Harry reared back towards the heavens drove his fist into Zod's face with the Power of the Punch. Time seemed to stand still for a second then a booming crack echoed outwards. The ruthless General was sent flying off into the distance crashing through several buildings in the process due to the kinetic power of the magical enhanced punch that the younger Kryptonian male had hit him with. Taking a moment to catch his breath, Harry couldn't help but notice the other heroes rushing around dealing with the various fires that were occurring around them.

One of the Kryptonian honor guard members tried to go for him but Kara rushed into the battle with her arm extended. The punch ricocheting off of the back of his head as it connected with it.

A punch ricocheted off of the back of his head.

Another soldier grabbed Kara from behind but the blonde slipped out by gripping him around the wrist and then twisting suddenly so his arm was over her shoulder she flung him into a billboard, making use the judo throw that Harry taught her during their training sessions.

The blonde then pursed her lips and used her ice breath to freeze a couple of the guards in place.

'Wanda, blast them,' Harry thought to the young woman on the ground.

Wanda raised her hands, a smile crossing over her face. Her hair flowed from one side or the other. The members of the Kryptonian honor guard fired away at her using their weapons but she blasted them with her hex bolts which caused them to go flying into each other. Their skulls crunched together with a horrific impact that echoed through the air.

The fact that they were worn down from the efforts of the various heroes made things a lot easier for them. Harry though that he might owe several people drinks. All of a sudden to had to dive to the side as the returning Zod attempted to cave his head in.

The dictator went for another punch which Harry ducked underneath then speared him through the RAO Corporation main windows.

The windows repaired themselves as Harry and Zod crashed onto the ground.

"What are you trying to accomplish?" Zod asked him with narrowed eyes that were filled with fury due to the fact Jor-El's weak son was showing him so much resistance.

Harry did not say anything, he was luring Zod, he hoped that this worked because if this did not work, it was back to the drawing board.

'Come on, closer, closer, almost there,' Harry stated mentally. The moment of truth was at hand.

It was do or die now as he continued to lure Zod into a trap.

Osborn remained silent, he had no investment in whether Zod or not succeeded. In fact, if Zod failed, there was a chance that he would regain control of his body and all of the power that came with it. He would gain his revenge on Jax-Ur and Brainiac once this was all said and done.

His fist was introduced to Zod's face and the introduction was not pleasant.

A punch from Harry Potter was more brutal than about ten from most people. As Zod staggered backwards due to the force, he grabbed him by the hair then twisting threw him into the nearby lab. The man flew head over heels as he was sent flying through the doorway of the chamber.

Red solar radiation bombarded the room as Harry and Osborn went face to face with each other and then Kryptonite Radiation bombarded both of them.

Zod desperately tried to escape from the room and Harry drove him down to ground, pinning him down in to prevent him from escaping.

"You can't….you can't," Zod managed but he knew that his powers did not define him.

Zod grabbed a knife and tried to stab him but Harry blocked it and slammed him into the wall.

"Try and secure…."

Zod swept his legs out from underneath him and tried to focus his eyes but it burned to even do so. He felt weaker by each passing moment and Harry grabbed him around the shoulder.

There was a huge thumping on the outside on the outside of the chamber.

'Harry, they've followed you there,' Jean warned him through the bond link. Grabbing Zod by the head Harry proceeded to smash it against the wall several times in a row. In he hope of either knocking him unconscious, driving him out of Osborn's heard, or stun him, giving him enough time to catch his breath.

'Thanks for the warning Jean, I really appreciate it,' Harry commented as he prepared to fight another group of the Kryptonian's.

'I think I've found one of the relay points for the Phantom Zone portal,' Kitty thought to them.

'Great, that's good,' Harry thought as he saw the walls crack open. He saw the lamps flicker for a second then shatter.

Granted, he did not have that much time to enhance Project Nine because there was a lack of disposable Kryptonians to test it on. So the fact that there were some flaws was not too great of a surprise.

"Take him down," Zod breathed as blood poured from his mouth as he struggled to hold his head up into the air in order to keep a steady gaze on the enemy in front of him.

Zod's honor guard moved in charging Harry one at a time. He dodged the first attack attack by stepping to side and plowed his fist into the back of his enemy's head. He launched himself forwards off the ground in order to nail another member of the honor guard with a huge punch to the stomach, which drove him up into into the ceiling which he slammed off of with a sickening crunch.

Eight super powered Kryptonians on one, it was not going to end well. Even though Harry managed to trip them up with his spell work then shatter the thigh bone of one of them.

These Kryptonians appeared to have been genetically engineered to be resistant to many attacks and Harry grabbed another by the shoulder then sent him through the closest wall.

A sonic boom announced Kara's arrival. The Blonde Kryptonian burst into the room like a bat out of hell and knocked her enemy in the face with a huge and vicious roundhouse kick.

She arrived to take down two of the honor guard and smiled.

"How many of these were there?' Kara asked him as she felt the sweat roll down her.

The blonde's efforts intensified, the red solar radiation did cause her some minor discomfort but much to her relief, she was able to fight back. This just showed how well Harry trained her.

These enemies were trained in fighting disciplines that were unique to Krypton and while Kara had studied them a bit but she was out of her league against a group of trained military officers. They surrounded her, the blonde was fighting them off the best that she could but they quickly overwhelmed her.

The blonde was pushed down to her knees from behind as she struggled to break out of the grip. The feisty blonde were pushed down onto her knees. She tried to break out of the grip but once again, she was forced down.

Har-Rell looked on warily as more poured in from the ceiling.

'Don't worry about me, relay points, I can handle this one,' Harry thought about he was backed off as about fifteen of them poured in.

The young man grabbed the closest soldier around the head and spiked him headfirst into the ground.

"The time for games is over," Zod said as he glared with fury at his enemy. The mortal shell he possessed felt a slight stabbing pain but he managed through sheer force of will to fight through the radiation. His men dropped down onto the ground and screamed in agony. He pushed himself free. "You will wish you stayed inside the Phantom Zone."

Kara went low, and hurled one of them soldiers into the wall, breaking several bones in his body. It would not kill him but it would make him miserable.

Faora turned up, having changed in a black top and jeans that she'd borrowed from a civilian after her battle armor was ruined.

"Faora, excellent, you're here, just in time to see my moment of triumph," Zod said to his daughter.

"I'm not sure how triumphant it will be when you needed a numbers game to defeat me," Harry said as he continued to fight the ever growing number of Zod's army.

"Yeah, he's a coward, he's was always a coward," Kara offered to them as a trickle of blood poured from her mouth.

"You will stifle your insolence," Zod told the blonde. "You're much like your mother."

"Thanks," Kara commented in a scathing voice.

"Eliminate the daughter of Alura first, then the son of Jor-El shall kneel before Zod," Zod offered as he felt a tingle of excitement at having Har-Rell on his knees before him.

Harry noted his excitement and was rather disturbed by it.

"You know, the fact that you want other men kneel before you, that's kind of unsettling," Harry said and Zod looked at him. "Sure you don't want to….come out of the closet a bit and talk about that. You know, be honest with your feelings."

"With all due respect General. Perhaps it would not be wise to eliminate them so hastily," Faora offered her father and Zod turned to face her.

"Careful Faora, you're treading a dangerous line," Zod warned her.

Faora inclined her head with a strong nod and she stared firmly into his eyes. She swallowed the lump in her throat and managed to continue.

"Well…I assumed that….given…."

"Spit it out child," Zod ordered as he made his way towards the dark haired woman. "You have been bred for greatness, it would reflect badly upon me if you ruined that now."

Faora's eyes flashed with a brief hint of annoyance that only Harry noticed or maybe Kara did as well. It was hard to tell in circumstances like this.

"Are you…."

"I think that given that they are Kryptonian…."

"You have been poisoned by their lies," Zod stated in a fierce voice filled with insanity, cutting off Faora and not giving her a chance to continue.

Faora kept her eyes fixed on him and she shook her head frantically.

"No it's just…."

"Strength is proven through the will to use it and it's time to prove how strong you are."

Zod said these words as his hand wrapped around Faora's throat and squeezed it roughly. The woman tried to break free but she dropped down to her knees as her ability to breath was cut off.

The combination of Zod's insane mind and Osborn's demented psyche had made the combined entity quite mad indeed.

Faora struggled frantically in an attempt to break the hold her own Father had on her throat, she was starting to see spots as the breath was driving completely from her lungs.

Harry burst out of the crowd of Kryptonians and nailed Zod in the face with a huge punch.

In a daze Faora dropped forward onto her hands hacking and coughing as she tried to desperately get air back into her lungs. The results of her Father chocking her had left nail marks on the side of her throat and blood dripping from her nose.

"Get her to a safe place!" Harry yelled to Kara who nodded. She used her heat vision to break the ground underneath her feet causing the Kryptonians around her to stagger. They did not have the filtering spells that her and Harry did so they were still being bombarded with red sunlight from the lamps that had been broken when they'd force their way into the room.

She scooped up Faora in her arms. The dark haired girl froze for a second as Kara blasted her off.

"She'll die with the rest of you," Zod offered as blood poured from Osborn's nose and he sped off.

Harry was not that far behind Zod.

The members of the team who weren't Kryptonian had an equally crucial task to do. Which was getting to the relay points and making sure that Zod's army did not activate the Phantom Zone portal again.

Gwen paused as she moved with Kitty and Jean.

"What is it?" Kitty asked to Gwen in confusion.

"Brainiac, he's nearby," Gwen offered Kitty in a voice that indicated that she sensed that this would cause issues.

Kitty frowned and she offered one statement. "I don't…."

"I know you don't see him but I sense him, he's a living computer, so I know that he's…."

A pulse of energy went off. Gwen ducked, Kitty went off to the side, and Jean put up a shield. The form of Brainiac approached them, still in the form of Milton Fine.

"I don't know how you escaped from the Phantom Zone…."

Laura lunged at him from behind plunging her claws into Brainiac's back.

"You don't need to know," Laura snarled out as she twisted her claws in the wound then drove them upwards towards his shoulders before flinging him smoking and sparking off to the side.

Jean used a telekinetic shield to block him from escaping or at least she tried to. That was an effort that was easier said than done. There was a crack as Brainiac tried to break through the shield. Jean was forced back as she felt her knees slowly buckling underneath her.

'Hang on, Jean, I'll get….'

The brief flicker of Harry's voice gave Jean hope but it also caused her to become uneasy. Harry normally took care of problems so easily but as she reminded herself, he must have met his match.

"Kryptonians at ten o' clock!" Rachel yelled as she joined the group, along with Amara.

"We so don't have time for this," Kitty stated as she picked up one of the weapons that was left on the ground, she had no idea how much it would work but it was better she tried it now, than trying nothing.

"I know we don't, but what choice do we have?" Gwen asked as she tried to fix onto the relay point but Brainiac was finally able to burst out of the shield confining him. His hand snatched Gwen around her throat, choking the life out of her.

Jean nailed him from behind with another attack but one of the Kryptonians jumped down in front of her. He tried to stab her with a knife but she forced it back then slammed him through the closest wall.

The redhead propelled the next enemy to attack her up into the air then sent him crashing about six feet into the ground. The cracking of bones was not fully heard by Jean as she circled her adversaries.

'Okay, focus, and go,' Jean thought to herself.

Gwen managed to find one of the crystal arrays. She tried to use her knowledge of Kryptonian technology, even if it was rudimentary compared to Kara and Harry's, to counteract what Zod was doing.

She held the chunk of Kryptonite, which somewhat worked.

"You might want to try the bottom pattern, there's a knob down there that you can use."

Karen showed up, she was still in wet, ripped, and tattered clothes that clung to her body rather enticingly.

"...Right," Gwen stated as she tried not to stare at Karen's rather magnificent, heaving and soaking wet breasts. She closed her eyes for a moment so she could focus. "I've got something."

'Providing that I don't fry the entire city.'

Rogue slammed one of the Kryptonians face first onto the asphalt. With her super strength the impact knocked him down.

"I really wish that we could just send them back," Rogue said as there was a never ending stream of attackers. Zod's followers who escaped the explosion of the planet were more than they thought that there were.

"Actually, give me about two minutes and nineteen seconds, and I might be able to," Gwen said as she manipulated the console rapidly, modifying the relay points to work in the inverse, as well as adding a couple of exceptions.

Kitty frowned as she went intangible causing two of the Kryptonians to fly head on into each other as she avoided their attacks. "That….that seems like an oddly specific ETA."

"That's because it is," Gwen said absent mindedly.

She thought she could do it, because she believed that she could do it. She needed to become the technology.

Brainiac sensed what she was doing and being the techno bane that he was, he tried to interfere.

Karen rushed forward and dodged the tentacle attack that was launched at her. Heat vision reduced the chances that Brainiac would be able to do it again as she sliced the tentacle in half.

"I don't think that you can stop us!" Karen yelled as she lifted up the machine and flung it high into the air. It tried to probe her but Karen was not going to go for that one.

Gwen felt like she was shoved into the pressure cooker but this was where she excelled. She was not afraid of pressure, on the contrary, pressure was something that she thrived on. Time seemed to speed up and slow down simultaneously if that made any sense.

'Okay, just about….a little more….a little more…come on…a bit more….and I got this,' Gwen thought in exasperation.

Her heart sped up as time seemed to stop.

For a brief second, she thought she screwed up and the portal would collapse upon itself, but then she saw that a few of the Kryptonian honor guard members vanished with a huge crack.

Gwen had modified the device so that it would transport anyone who was not a female Kryptonian or Harry away. They were the ones getting sent to the Phantom Zone as opposed to every human.

The disappearance of them all figured that what she did worked.

Captain America looked up into the sky as the invaders seemed to vanish around. Baron Zemo, seeing the threat was gone and that the first avenger seemed to be distracted, tried to go in for the kill.

A jumping uppercut with his shield knocked Zemo unconscious and he collapsed bonelessly to the ground.

"Did you think it was that easy?" Captain America asked.

Gwen barely paid attention to it, she felt a faint buzzing in her ear.

"Brainiac slipped off," Karen said, he had vanished in the chaos despite her best efforts.

'No helping it now. We'll just have to deal with him later,' Harry thought to her. 'It appears that your plan worked for the most part, Gwen.'

Gwen frowned and she offered one question. 'What do you mean for the most part?'

'I mean that since Zod is possessing Osborn, he didn't get transported with the rest of his men,' Harry thought to her but he offered an encouraging smile. 'Don't worry about that because I have a plan.'

'Don't you usually have like fifty of them going at once? Or should I be worried since you felt the need to point this one out?' Gwen commented lightly and there was a momentary pause as Harry pondered her question.

'If it doesn't work but I know it will,' Harry said and he knew that Zod would find the "Fortress."

Jax-Ur and Brainiac would follow him and Harry would be able to take out three birds with one stone.

'Kara, Karen, meet me there, your special talents are required. The rest of you help the Avengers to make sure there are no civilians are trapped in the debris,' Harry suggested and everyone nodded, their jobs understood.

Once Zod sensed the Arctic location of Jor-El's Fortress, he knew that he had to make it his. He knew that he had to place it within the palm of his hands.

It's contained technology that was the pinnacle of Krypton glory and that technology should be under the sole control of the one true savior of that now dead planet. The sadistic General made his way towards the Fortress greed dancing through his eyes.

The power would be his.

Norman Osborn remained silent as Zod kept making his way forward. There was no need to say anything because it was obvious that Zod was being lured into a trap.

That was something that Osborn relished because it served the ass right for stealing his body.

Zod unable to imagine himself as being anything short of perfection was unable to admit to himself that he might be walking into a trap of any kind.

"We have a problem."

Jax-Ur turned up at that moment, to find the General standing there staring off into the distance.

"What is it?" Zod asked in a calm voice, although he did not really respect the scientist. He did not toil as Zod had, therefore, he was not someone who he respected, not in the slightest.

"Speaking respectfully, General….he's…."

"Do not stifle your words, use them, spit them out of your mouth," Zod whispered a harsh tone to his voice full of biting critism and the man staggered back a step.

""Of course, the son of Jor-El has sent the rest of your army into the Phantom Zone…"

"If they were too foolish to stop them, then they are no use to Zod," Zod told him.

'And you talk in the third person, you know, people calling me insane now seems insane given that you are nuts,' Osborn commented.

'Silence or I will kill you,' Zod thought to Osborn.

'You know, you can't because this is my body, dumbass,' Osborn replied in a smug tone as Zod arrived outside the Fortress, greed dancing in his eyes.

Or rather what he thought was the Fortress, the real deal was obviously elsewhere. Despite the fact that he could be blundering into a trap, Zod's glowing eyes were fixed on the prize ahead. He would rule this planet with an iron grip, the twenty eight galaxies would come to him and kneel before Zod. They would all kneel.

The doors allowed him inside and he took a couple of steps forward.

There was a loud crash outside and Zod's eyes turned towards the source of the noise.

"Have you been a naughty little boy? I think you have, trespassing."

A large man stepped forward. He had a bright red outfit, alongside twinkling blue eyes. He had rosy red cheeks, hair white as snow, and a large belly that shook like a like a bowl full of jelly. He marched forward and there was a second where Zod looked at him and one statement escaped his lips.

"Who the devil is that?"

'I believe that's Santa Claus,' Osborn thought in deadpan.

And it was Santa Claus alright, who packed a laser gun along with laser blasts from his eyes, along with a group of elves who had large candy canes that shot lasers.

Zod felt the sting of the lasers but decided that it was time to end these games. He raised one of his hands up into the air and with a huge crunch, drove his hand down onto the closest elf.

The elf blew into microscopic dust particles.

The jolly fat man proved to be no better as Zod put his arm through his large torso and ripped him to shreds.

General Zod had just destroyed Santa Claus, standing over his battered remains.

'You are a dick,' Osborn stated in a gleeful tone as if he thought that was a good thing.

The Christmas Lights appeared in the Fortress and Zod looked towards the display. It shifted into one statement.

You've Made My Naughty List. But Things Are Looking Up.

Zod looked up to the ceiling and it was then Harry came crashing up from the floor underneath him to nail Zod with an uppercut punch to his danglies. The General grimaced, as did Osborn because they both felt that one.

There was a large crack as Harry pushed Zod back against the wall and the thunderous crunch resounded for all of them to see. Harry's smile widened as he pressed forward.

"That's it, this is the end, Har-Rell," Zod said as he tried to attack him, hand out stretched and Harry copied his movements.

Both fists connected with each other and both struggled, jockeying for positioning. Neither could back the other off as they tried to punch each other again a second time but nothing worked. A third time and more of the same as they tried to go for a different strategy.

Har-Rell then used his heat vision to loosen a few of the icicles above to impale Zod but Zod craftily got out of the way. He was on the other end of the faux Fortress as the icicle's landed on the ground where they might have impaled him.

Jax-Ur turned up from behind but Kara punched him in the back of the head. He was a scientist and not equipped to fight, so Kara took him down in two more moves, a huge punch and a roundhouse kick. The blonde stomped the back of his head for good measure.

Zod and Harry circled each other in the Fortress, both waiting for the other to make that first move. The chess game was on.

Zod flew towards Harry hands outstretched and prepared to strangle. Harry dodged the attack.

Knee drove to the back of Zod's head but Osborn's hand backhanded and nailed Harry in the face. Harry dodged another spinning back fist. Moving Zod into position, he caused the ice of the Fortress to rise up and wrap around Osborn's body.

His eyes glowed to light with heat vision and he busted out. He then went to bust Harry but he ducked the swing and then cartwheeled off to the other side.

"Come on, let's go!" Harry yelled as he egged Zod on and the General took the bait.

Zod's anger was growing by the moment; he could not put his enemy down, no matter how hard he attempted to do so.

"Face it Zod, you lost from the moment that you entered that body," Harry told Zod. "I had to lure you here so I could use this."

"Use what?"

'It's a trap!" Osborn yelled even though it was too late to do any good and Zod felt the pulse of energy erupt through his body from underneath the Fortress.

It was a way to negate the Goblin formula and reduce the magic immunity, although the Fortress and its false counterpart was the only place on Earth that Harry could safely launch it from at this present point in time.

A magically enhanced punch to the jaw ricocheted off of Zod's face staggering him backwards. Harry slid a crystal out of the wall and into his hand.

"I hope you enjoyed your tour of the Earth, because you're getting sent back home," Harry said as he rushed at Osborn's body, clutching the crystal in his hand.

"No, I won't go back!" Zod bellowed but Harry plunged the crystal into his torso and it began to heat up.

Jax-Ur was launched through the portal as well; sent back to the Phantom Zone along with Zod.

Osborn dropped to the ground, his body going into shock from this experience, as his nervous system felt like it was on fire.

Harry felt like he was going to collapse, but that would have to come later on, he still had too much to do. The fight had not been easy, although he did it, somehow, someway, he did it.

"There was a vessel leaving the Earth, it appears that Brainiac has left the premises," Lara commented to him.

Harry sighed. He'd escaped for now but if he was still out there, he would be back eventually.

"You do realize that this is not a matter that we can sweep underneath the rug easily."

Harry said this statement in a matter of fact manner.

"Maybe not," Fury agreed in a grudging voice as he stood eye to eye with Harry. "But we can do our best to control what information is released to the general public."

Harry had to grudgingly agree with this. After all, a lot of people would be afraid of alien invasions. Despite the best efforts of the Avengers and other heroes to protect them, there were a lot of people who were already up in arms because of the "mutant menace." Alien invaders would probably just send them into a feeding frenzy.

It was a curse that could only be reversed with time and effort. Harry hoped to educate people through the newly created Friends of Humanity group.

"One step at a time. Try to show people the good in those that are different and that there are two sides to every story " Harry offered and Fury cracked a smile as he turned around and took a call.

"What is it…oh yes, yes….I'll be right there….yes I'll be sure to pick up bread," Fury commented as he wandered off.

"Mrs. Fury I take it?" Harry whispered to Carol who turned up to join him.

"Yeah, she's quite tenacious, about the only person Fury backs down from," Carol offered to him but her curiosity was beginning to get the better of her.

"Well…"

Harry thought that he was going to stop Carol from beating around the bush and just make her come out and say it, at least that's what was going on in his mind. True to form, the blonde heroine did open her mouth and say it as Harry suspected that she might.

"What's it like in that place?"

Harry raised an eyebrow and Carol decided to tell Harry what she meant.

"You know in the Phantom Zone."

Harry offered her a smile as Natasha joined them. "Well, let's put it this way, I wouldn't recommend it as your holiday destination for your next trip."

It did bug Harry that they were not able to save everyone although there were a lot of people who despite orders otherwise did not stay calm. One of them tried to be a hero even though they were not quite cut out for the job at hand, at least that's what Harry witnessed. He could not babysit every person in the world, some times things were going to happen that were out of his control despite his best efforts.

"I think you understate things a bit too much."

This statement came from Natasha although she was smiling when she said it.

"Just a bit?" Harry asked her.

Natasha's smile got more prominent and wider. "Yes, just a bit."

"Well we were all lucky to get out of there in one piece," Jean offered and Wanda would have to agree, as the two of them joined them alongside Kitty, Rogue, and Kara.

"Is our guest…"

"Yeah she is," Kara breathed out to Harry in Kryptonian because they did not want Fury to find out that they were harboring one of the invaders. As far as he knew, Faora was sent off into the Phantom Zone with the rest of them.

He could imagine the fit that Fury was bound to throw when he found that Harry was harboring Zod's daughter. Not that he particularly fucking cared what Fury did. She was an asset, and more importantly an attractive female one, so only an idiot would throw that away.

"So what are we going to do now?"

It was Kara that posed that question and obviously she would defer to Harry at all times because he was the one who taught her all that she knew regarding this strange world. And as Harry freely admitted, having lived on Earth all of his life, there were many things that he even he lacked the basic understanding of.

Harry pondered that notion and then after a second of thought he gave his honest opinion.

"The re-building process begins."

Jean had definitely taking note of the damage done to the city, caused by Zod or Osborn or whoever.

Jean saw some of the homes destroyed, the damage. Zod or Osborn or whoever.

"So what about Brainiac?"

"Gone without a trace," Harry informed Gwen who had turned up to ask this question. "He knew that the plan was a failure, so he cut his losses and got out of harm's way."

"He's a machine, bound by logic, nothing more," Gwen mused to him and Harry would have to agree, that was the BrainInteractive Construct in a nutshell.

"Yes, that's the point isn't it?"

Kitty sighed, most of them were sent back to the Phantom Zone and now there was what they had to do next. Although as Kitty figured that Harry would have something in mind.

He always tended to.

In chaos there was often opportunity and Harry was better than figuring out some opportunities more than anyone else in the world.

Harry decided to stop by Lois's apartment; she suffered a bad bump during the Goblin's attack, although in typical stubborn Lois fashion, she checked herself out of the hospital the moment that she was able to.

He lightly tapped on the door and Lois got up to meet him.

"Hi, Harry," Lois offered as she threw her arms around him and gave him a long kiss which Harry returned.

Harry stepped inside of her apartment, there were certain things between the two of them that had been left unsaid.

"Don't worry Harry, I'm making sure that Lois tries to take it easy….she did get a concussion after all," Chloe offered as she watched her cousin.

"Hey, I'm fine, Chloe, you should get back to work on the Torch because….well I'm sure that people need to be told that it wasn't the mutants or the Star Child that was behind the invasion," Lois offered though she sat down due to the fact she felt a bit dizzy.

"Wouldn't have hurt you to stay in the hospital until you were completely sure," Chloe offered and Lois rolled her eyes.

"Yes, mother, thanks for the pep talk," Lois said as she rolled her eyes and Chloe shook her head in exasperation. The blonde leaned back, there was really no use telling Lois anything because she was too damn stubborn to listen.

'You know she knows,' Chloe thought to Harry.

'Yes, but does she know that I know that she knows?' Harry fired back to Chloe. 'I can read minds Chloe, I knew that she knew.'

Harry would not have taken the step that he had if he did not know what Lois knew. Of course, Harry was not about to admit the fact to her because she already knew and he did not want to insult her intelligence by saying it out loud. And Lois was not going to say anything because she was too stubborn to admit that she had been fooled for the time that she was.

They had been going out for about five or six months anyway, if Harry's math was correct and sometimes it was and sometimes it wasn't but that was beside the point.

"So if you need anything, anything at all, just know that I'm a call away," Harry told Lois and there was a second where she paused to consider this offer.

"You do realize that anything can mean a lot of things?" Lois asked him with a smile on her face. "See you later Harry."

"You two," Harry said to her and he caught a thought.

'Yeah, don't admit it, I can play this game a lot longer than you can,' Lois thought in amusement, unaware that Harry could hear that thought. Then again, there was an obvious conclusion that she made but that was beside the point.

The next instant, Harry was back at the Stronghold in the blink of an eye. He decided that it was time to check on his guest in the hospital wing.

He headed towards it and came upon Kitty who was standing outside the door, a smile on her face.

"She's doing good for someone who nearly got strangled to death by her own father," Kitty whispered to Harry and the wizard smiled, as he grabbed her in a tight hug and the two exchanged a passionate kiss.

"We've got a long way to go to clean up the city," Harry offered Kitty and the brunette smiled.

"I figure that you have a good way of doing it to, you're normally good at turning these opportunities around," Kitty commented.

Harry smiled mysteriously at that and kissed her on the forehead. He was preparing to hold a press conference tomorrow afternoon of what RAO intended to do to help the city get back on it's feet. It was going to be a long road but if they all worked together, it would be a successful mission.

With that thought, he slipped inside to check up on Faora.

"So, I believe that I have you to thank."

Faora kept her blue eyes fixed on Harry as he walked towards her. She was wearing a long shirt that extended down to her knees and that was her sole article of clothing.

"So, I have you to thank for my rescue," The Kryptonian offered as she gave Harry an extremely hungry gaze as the the two stared at each other.

"One might say that, yes," Harry told her as he moved towards her.

Faora watched him close in on her. He was a strong man who could do anything that he wanted to her and that thought excited her greatly.

"I'm in your debt," Faora commented to him, this statement give as matter of factly as possible and Harry offered her a smile in return.

"So it seems," Harry offered her and the woman slid off of the side of the bed and moved, to show Harry that she was not wearing anything underneath her shirt.

"And I don't like to leave my debts unpaid," Faora said as she placed her hands upon his waist and stared him down. "I want to see if you are everything that the Church thinks you are."

"Oh, you'll find that I'm all that and more," Harry commented as he grabbed her wrists and pinned her back on the bed. "I hope that you're well because you'll find out soon enough that I collect all debts.

Faora anticipation built and she was about to find out that the anticipation was better than anything.

Smut/Lemon Begins.

Harry pulled off the shirt and revealed her body, more and more. He saw the enticing set of DD Cup breasts that was exposed for him and her smooth toned stomach. Her long legs and shapely ass added another version, as the woman wrapped her legs around him.

Their mouths met with a hungry kiss as he pushed her back onto the bed and then he made his way down her neck, with a few kisses all the way down the side of it.

Faora closed her eyes and she could feel him. He moved his hand down between her legs and massaged her folds, causing her tender womanhood to be explored. His fingers probed deep into her body and she lifted her hips up to meet his thrusts.

Harry smiled as he probed his fingers in and out of her, feeling her. She was so tight and hot as he continued to go deeper into her.

"Oh, Har-Rell,"

His fingers probed her, making her feel so good. Her hips lifted up and Harry felt the warmth rising between her legs as he slowly pushed his fingers in and out of her.

Faora felt the sensations with him her and her nipples were completely stiffened. Harry leaned over and captured one of her nipples into his mouth.

"Great RAO!" Faora yelled as Harry placed his lips around one of the nipples and started to suck on it.

This caused pure sexual fire to course through her body as Harry continued to use his mouth to stimulate her nipples.

Faora decided that now as the time to unleash him. She managed to use her feet to unbuckle his pants and pull them down.

She saw his large cock out. It was twelve inches and thick and she smiled as she pushed him back.

She slid off of the bed onto her knees and went onto them. She grabbed her hand around him and started to stroke it.

"It's time to pay that debt….ah with interest," Harry breathed as Faora placed her mouth around his huge cock and began to suck him with super powerful suction.

Faora tightened her mouth around his cock and pushed up and down. She liked the taste of it and she hummed as she wrapped her lips around him. The woman rocked back and forth as she kneeled before a far worthy man, blowing him like a pro.

"Oh, deeper, deeper," Harry breathed as he grabbed the back of her head and pushed the large dick into her mouth.

He felt his cock go into the back of her throat and he smiled as she went down onto him as hard as she could manage. Her lips wrapped around him was an amazing sensation that Harry savored with every fiber of his being as he held onto the back of her head. He pumped his hard pole in between her lips.

He rammed his flesh spear down her throat and she took all of him deep down onto her throat. He cupped her breasts and she enjoyed the rough handling of her.

"Oh, you like it rough," Harry grunted as he grabbed her around the head and rammed his length into her mouth.

Faora breathed as she felt the sensation of his cock be buried deep into her throat. She enjoyed every inch of it fillher mouth and go down her throat.

"Damn, fuck," Harry breathed as he rammed himself in and out of her mouth at super speed.

Faora felt pleasure beyond anything she ever realized as his cock went in and out of her mouth. The woman tightened her mouth around his probing prick and she enclosed her lips around him. The woman's eyes closed as she kept blowing him like a pro.

Her hands worked around his balls, stroking them with a hungry smile and glint in her eye. She kept working him over like she mastered him.

Harry once again had her pushed back onto the bed and her legs were spread invitingly for him. The young wizard pushed his finger into her and teased her.

Faora locked her legs around him and she lifted her hips up.

"Inside me," she purred.

Harry grabbed onto her hips and teased her dripping hot slit, running his member up and down her and then with a fluid motion took the next step after some teasing.

"RAO!"

Faora moaned as Harry filled her body with his cock. The dark haired woman closed her eyes as she pushed her hips up and down, meeting his strokes.

Harry grabbed her and pinned her down to exert his domination.

"You're mine now," Harry breathed as he nibbled on her ear and then speared into her quim once again.

Faora panted as Harry grabbed her and squeezed her breasts as he kept spearing into her, going deeper. The woman felt his thrusts bury deeper into her.

Harry felt her walls tighten around her as she reacted to his throbbing pulses into her. Her center was hot and he loved indulging himself into the wonders that was between her legs. He hung onto her shoulders and used the leverage to push into her.

"Keep….doing that….and….I'll be yours forever."

Faora offered this lustful declaration as Harry plowed into her hard and the woman felt her cunt quiver as Harry rammed his thick tool into her.

"YES!"

Faora was moaning as Karen showed up to join the party.

The blonde's smile widened across her face as she showed up and saw Harry pinning the daughter of Zod onto the bed, ramming into her tight pussy.

Her walls tightened around Harry's member.

"Hi, Karen, feel free to….ah join us," Harry breathed as he made Faora his own, sending his member into her.

The woman grabbed onto him.

"Fuck, so good, so great, you're the best, no better, better than the rest!" Faora moaned as she felt his mighty spear push between her.

"Why don't I give that mouth something constructive to do?" Karen asked as she slipped off her clothes to reveal her amazing body. Her large breasts jiggled as she moved forward and draped her perfect pink pussy over Faora's face.

Faora roughly rammed her tongue into Karen's quim and began to eat her pussy. The blonde thought that this was the best and she felt the dark haired girl's talented tongue continue to spear inside her.

She could have also sworn that she saw a pair of bright blue eyes peer around the corner but she was too distracted by Faora's efforts to notice that much. Not to mention Harry's efforts as he took a handful of her large tits and squeezed them, channeling magic through them which caused an amazing orgasm to rock through her body.

"MORE!"

That was given as Karen's juices sprayed on Faora's face and Harry had brought her to an amazing orgasm at the same time.

Karen slid off of her face and Harry slid out of Faora.

Faora was about ready to comment at the loss of Har-Rell's mighty pole but Karen's talented tongue returned the favor from earlier, moving inside her.

Harry grabbed Karen as her rear was presented in the air so inviting and ready that he had to ram himself deep inside her and he took the invitation, ramming his hard rod between her thighs.

The woman gave a mewling moan as Harry went into her. He cupped her breasts and kissed the back of her neck as she buried her face into Faora's snatch.

The aroma was inhaled as Harry rammed into her from behind and his balls slapped against her thighs. The woman's eyes closed shut as she felt the pushes of him inside her.

One thrust after another, as Harry also noticed the guest but he neglected to say anything for a moment.

Until he allowed a dupe to slip off and grab the blonde by the shoulders who gave a surprised squeak.

"Hi, Kara, do join the party," Harry breathed as he saw that her hand was down her pants.

Kara was pushed against the wall and she closed her eyes to enjoy Harry's mouth pressed open hers. His hands roamed all over her body and cupped her breasts. She felt the pleasure go through her body as Harry reached down between her legs and cupped her womanhood, feeling the moisture that was dripping between her legs.

Harry grabbed her around the waist and lined up his throbbing length with her dripping hot center. The woman prepared herself for him.

"Har, please," Kara begged him and Harry was never one to turn down a lady so he plowed his thick member between her walls, stretching her out. "YES!"

Those sentiments were echoed by all.

Harry had Kara pinned against the wall and the blonde was reduced to a blathering mess quickly at his mighty spear as he worked into her. Kara grabbed into him.

"Faster," Kara begged him as she sunk his length speared into him a few more ways. His balls slapped against her thighs and he hung onto her. The blonde panted as she pushed her hips towards him. She ran her hands down him as Harry picked up the pace.

Karen was feeling the similar feelings of pleasure as his cock speared in and out of her tightening quim with the blonde closing her eyes.

Faora felt the talents of Karen's tongue bury into her and it was really good. The blonde used her talents to clean out her cunt, taking all of the juices on it.

Faora lifted her hips up and allowed Karen to munch on her pussy.

Karen meanwhile was being ravaged from behind with Harry's huge pole and she loved every moment of it and then some.

"Damn, so hot," Harry breathed as Karen continued to eat Faora's cunt and Harry pushed himself in and out of her at super speed. His balls bounced across her thighs and Harry hung onto her, using her breasts and squeezing them for everything that they were worth.

He thrust into her and unleashed his seed into her tight walls.

The warm seed injected into Karen and splashed inside her. Harry hung onto her, depositing his essence into her and the blonde moaned heavily.

They were far from done as the Harry dupe fucked Kara into the wall until he came inside her.

Kara felt pure joy as his hot seed pumped into her tight pussy and she milked him dry.

Smut/Lemon Ends. 

Harry left Faora, Kara, and Karen on the bed completely ravished. He made his way to another chamber.

He saw the stone statue of Mystique standing before him.

He smiled, once he figured out a way to get her out her predicament, there was going to be another female that would be within his debt. Although he found it curious that the Church did not recruit Mystique or maybe they did. He'd have to ask Selene about it at another time.

"Ensure that Norman gets the proper medication this time and make sure he stays in his cell, I'm not paying you to mess this up, Doctor Sofen," Lionel said into his cell phone as he paced around at the main lobby of OsCorp.

"Trouble, Dad?"

The tone that Lionel's son, Lex, used was rather mocking. Though that was rather normal as of late.

"I didn't expect you to be here this soon," Lionel offered as he stared his son down, only for Lex to offer him a smile in response.

"Well, expectations can be met and exceeded, as you've told me many times," Lex offered him with a smile. "So is Uncle Norman…."

"Uncle Norman is very unwell," Lionel commented as he turned around and knew that Norman was screaming about demonic possessions but he honestly paid this statement no mind at all. Lionel honestly knew better than to take Norman's demented ramblings as anything other than a grain of salt.

"That's a pity," Lex stated to his father casually.

"This is your chance Lex, your chance to make something out of yourself."

Lex nodded, His father had offered him an opportunity. He placed his hands through his hair, he was very proud about his full head of red hair, he did not know what he would do if he became bald. He was not too fond of bald people at all, in fact he considered them freaks, but that was just him.

Another man turned up. He had sandy blonde hair, with thick glasses, and he was wearing an ugly blue suit that was not at all fashionable.

"Mr. Luthor, Mr. Luthor," the man stated.

"Mr. Menken, how nice of you to join us," Lionel commented in a satisfied voice although there was a certain amount of false nicety to his tone as he kept his eyes on the man.

He was Donald Menken, he was Norman Osborn's right hand man, and thus he knew where most of the skeletons of Norman Osborn were buried. Of course, he didn't know everything and Lionel did not expect that he would know everything. Norman was someone who had his secrets and his lies were abundant. Then again, he would not be so successful in business if that wasn't the case.

Lionel watched the situation outside.

"I have the information that you wanted," Menken told him.

Lionel smiled, even if Norman recovered from his latest ordeal, he would not be getting back control of the company any time soon. In fact, he planned to turn OsCorp into something else, because the Osborn name was tainted thanks to Norman and Harry's actions of late and that fact caused him more then a few headaches.

"Thank you, Menken, you have a future with Luthor-Osborn," Lionel offered, as he prepared to restructure OsCorp. Norman being committed to Ravencroft would ensure that he wouldn't be a problem.

"You're quite welcome, Mr. Luthor," Menken said as he turned around and walked off.

Menken made his way into the elevator and went to the bottom level of the Oscorp bottom levels.

He made his way into a car and drove out of the parking deck. He did not say anything; he did not do anything, until he made his way outside the city limits.

Menken got out and pressed a button on his wrist.

"We're in position."

"Excellent, let the infiltration begin."
