Ascension 2

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Mysterious Mystery Of.....Part One. 

It was a bright and sunny day, which was a rarity in Gotham City. It was something to be enjoyed why it lasts.

"So, I take it that you're ready for this trip?"

Kara nodded away, looking extremely excited about the fact. She was bouncing up and down with a lot of energy that was nearly intoxicating when she swayed her hips back and forth before Harry. That caused him to raise his eyebrow and look at her.

Not that caused Kara to cease her actions, far from it in fact.

The two of them were going to catch an early flight out to Metropolis with Faora and Karen, and then after they got there, Harry and Kara were going to drive up to the Kent Farm.

"Yes, I can't say to see my cousin, to see how he's doing, see if his development is getting any better," Kara said and she frowned.

She didn't really want to talk about it but the means that he was sent to Earth was not the most ideal. Jor-El sending him in that small rocket ship could have had greater long term consequences to his potential then even Kara wanted to remember.

Granted, she couldn't even begin to think what her uncle was thinking. Only he was the one that knew.

"Well, that's good, I know that you were concerned about that," Harry said, taking a break from packing to throw his arm over his Alpha's shoulder and pull her in closer to him. "I want to check in with Nell and Lana, see how things are doing here, and…"

Harry managed to continue the laborious task of packing, with his arm around his wife's shoulder, and smiled.

"Also, going to need to spend some time with Patricia, it's been too long since we got together," Harry said, smiling.

The two of them had to pack, but Karen and Faora didn't, considering that they made the trip pretty much every day. Therefore it was just a bit more simpler to have clothes at both locations.

"Maybe we should think about what Faora and Karen do, and have clothes there," Kara suggested and Harry smiled.

"We don't make the trip nearly enough," Harry told her and Kara shrugged.

"I know that, but we could be someday…..but anyway, this is going to be awesome, you know that I love Gotham City," Kara said, crossing her arms over her chest with a wicked smile.

"I think despite all of its flaws, we all do love Gotham City in its weird ways," Harry stated calmly.

It was home in its own twisted way. At the same time when things got rough he wanted nothing better than to take a long vacation away from the city. It could get rather frustrating to deal with, even for a person who saw the finer things and qualities in the city.

"But it will be good for a change of scenery, a nice burst of country life, the good life," Kara said with a sigh, and she smiled. "Plus, we can get away from the insanity that has been happening, and I doubt that anything…..too dangerous will happen."

Kara's eyes averted to Harry suddenly and she managed to return to hitting her stride, chattering away.

"But anyway, I think that we're all packed, let me double check to make sure we have everything, sure I can get back here faster than a speeding bullet if I missed something but it's kind of the principle of the matter, you know," Kara answered and Harry smiled at his wife, she was really excited for this trip. "And you know you're looking forward to this trip almost as much as I am."

"Just almost?" Harry asked her with a raised eyebrow but he would have to concede that Kara did in fact have a point.

"And…..that does remind me of something, speaking of trips," Kara said and it hit her faster than a speeding bullet right to the fact. Which might have hurt if she wasn't Kryptonian. "You still owe Zatanna a proper honeymoon, you know, because the Penguin kind of ruined the last one with his kidnapping plot….okay he completely ruined it, and sure you blew up his club in retaliation….."

Harry chuckled in remembrance that was a day that he wouldn't forget.

"Believe me, I haven't forgotten," Harry said, he had it in the back of his mind and he wanted to surprise Zatanna with it, so he closed off her access to the loop temporarily. She was currently in bed from what he could feel, so it wasn't like she could patch into the bond link. "But it's going to have to wait until after Christmas. Rest assures, I have something planned."

"So, I'm to assume that we're not going to tell her," Kara said and Harry grinned at his youngest Alpha.

"You really got that one, but yes, that's the plan, it was supposed to a surprise."

Kara continued to pack but Karen made her way into the room, wearing an extremely tight white t-shirt and a pair of tight jean shorts to match, with no shoes.

"About packed up?" Karen asked.

"Nearly," Kara said and she sped through the process a little bit more, making sure that she had everything packed up. She beamed with excitement, with Karen grinning when she perched herself on the edge of the bed.

"I can see that you have a whole lot of added energy for this trip," Karen commented and she pulled Kara onto her lap.

At first the younger girl gave a scream of protest, but then she realized how comfortable that she felt and she just went with it. A shifty little grin appeared on her face and suddenly, she nuzzled her face between her older counterpart's breasts.

In one swift motion, Karen made Kara motor board her.

Harry looked amused at the sight, especially with Karen shivering but he cleared his head suddenly.

"So, do you have plans to meet with anyone other than Patricia, Lana, and Nell?" Karen asked, shifting her younger sister into her lap.

"You're talking about Lex, aren't you?" Harry asked her and Karen shifted with a nice little nod. "Perhaps, we've kept in touch, it depends on if our schedules align properly."

"I see," Karen said, that did make a lot of sense.

She wasn't really that fond of anyone with the last name of Luthor. For the reasons of what happened back in her world.

"In any event, I believe that Lex is still up at Excelsior, as far as I know, and I doubt very much that he'd be spending any kind of family get together with Lionel if he could help it," Harry said and he finished packing things up.

He could hear a moan on the bed, and he could see Karen's hands roaming underneath Kara's shirt. That was an alluring sight to say the very least and Harry, without any preamble, stepped to the side to join his beautiful blonde wives.

Kara closed her eyes and felt Karen's hands roam down her body, and her shirt was being pulled off. Her red bra was unsnapped to reveal her amazing and youthful breasts, with nice nipples that stuck out before her.

"Beautiful," Karen whispered, feeling up her younger double's breasts.

She smiled, licking her lips and making sure to get a nice good look at the blonde's smaller but still pretty sizeable breasts. She ran her hands all over Kara's body and caused her to whimper in pleasure.

"It feels so good," Kara panted and Karen grinned at her, working her hands all over the young blonde's body.

The older bustier blonde decided to work her younger counterpart up into a frenzy and make her feel completely good.

"I know it does," Karen said and she smiled, with Harry pulling Kara's skirt over her legs and her panties were soaked.

"Hold her for me Karen," Harry said and Kara was gushing with pleasure, and he pealed her panties back to reveal her dripping hot slit.

Harry slowly ran circles around her clit and Karen attacked her breasts, before deciding to push Kara back onto the bed.

"Time to eat," Karen said with a wicked grin.

She bent down, giving Kara a passionate kiss, which her younger sister returned, the blonde pushing her tongue against Karen's, and there was a second where she tried to force her tongue down Karen's throat. Karen returned fire with her own extremely heated kiss and her tongue pushed down the beautiful blonde's throat.

Karen could feel the pleasure rise through her body and she needed a tongue in her, her younger sister would do nicely.

Kara was nearly distracted by her older counterpart's pussy pushing onto her mouth, but Harry pumping his fingers in and out of her.

Harry smiled, watching Karen forcing her pussy onto Kara's mouth and causing the younger blonde to eat it, which she did with extreme intensity.

Kara moaned into Karen's pussy, when Harry pumped into her fingers. His intense motions increased the more he worked into her. The blonde panted when he continued to work into her.

"Fuck her, I can't wait," Karen breathed and Kara's legs spread hungrily and wantonly, his cock throbbing and ready for her.

The green eyed wizard placed his hands on his Alpha's thighs, and decided to reach forward and pull Karen's shirt open to reveal her amazing breasts, her nipples poking out for him.

Karen squealed when Harry squeezed them, applying an ample amount of pressure on her which drove her completely nuts and Harry's manhood pushed against Kara's walls.

Kara's legs parted to accommodate Harry's cock and she felt so full when he entered her as always. The blonde's legs wrapped around his thighs and he grabbed her by the legs, pumping himself into her juicy dripping cunt. Her core hugged his manhood when he pushed his way deep down between her hot thighs and he kept pumping his way into her, the blonde feeling the pleasure when he entered her, slamming his cock into her body over and over again.

"That's good, fuck her, fuck her hard," Karen encouraged Harry and she grinded her pussy on Kara's face, encouraging the younger blonde to lap up the juices.

The younger blonde rose to the challenge quite nicely. The blonde's tongue caressed Karen's dripping slit and she continued to suck down the juices, she was so hungry.

Karen moaned with Kara feasting on her juices like she was a dying woman. Her greedy eyes traveled to another central location She watched Harry's cock slam into Kara, making her his again and again. Greedily, the busty blonde watched the progress of her husband's cock inside her fellow Alpha, and Kara clenched him when she worked down onto him.

'Fuck,' Kara moaned suddenly and she pushed her hips up, meeting his manhood and shoving him deep down into her.

The blonde clenched her walls around his throbbing tool. He worked himself into her, going harder and harder, the blonde tightening her walls around his tool and she worked him down into him.

"I think that she's had enough," Karen whispered.

'What, no I haven't,' Kara said and she nearly bit her lips in pouted.

The pout was short lived. Suddenly she screamed in delight with Harry ramming himself into her even hard. Karen was feeding her with her juices and the blonde could feel herself pinned down and dominated, and she loved every single moment of it.

Harry groaned, her tight pussy was about ready to render him into cumming. Their loins clashing together was pure magic and he ran his hands all over her body, and then ran his hands over Karen's as well, stopping underneath her breasts and pulling back.

"Fucking tease," Karen moaned and suddenly, Harry could feel Kara tense up around him, her tight walls threatened to forcefully milk all of his cum out of his balls.

Harry placed his hands on either side of her legs, and nearly pulled all the way out of her, which caused Kara to whine.

"I think that she's addicted to my cock," Harry whispered.

He licked her lips, seeing Karen bend down and lick Kara's sweaty breasts, which was an erotic sight.

"I think that you might be right, honey," Karen said and she pushed her pussy down onto Kara's mouth and Kara took the juices into her mouth, sucking them all down as much as she could.

The blonde whimpered in absolute delight and Harry held onto her hips, pushing her hot walls down onto his throbbing tool. Her walls closed tightly around his manhood and he was this close to implanting his gift into her body.

The heat rose between the two young lovers. The blonde rolled her hips up, matching his actions, stroke by stroke. He pumped himself into her and something had to give.

His balls tightened and he fired a hot rush of cum deep into her body. Kara had another extremely mind shattering orgasm when he injected his gift into her body.

The blonde shuddered, dropping down with pleasure and Karen sauntered over.

"I think I better return the favor," Karen said, she was going absolutely damp watching Harry's cum dribble out from between Kara's thighs. The blonde looked delicious enough to eat, she could barely hold herself back.

The blonde licked her way around her lips and then she shoved her tongue deep between Kara's legs, causing her to squeal in delight.

Harry could see Karen's thighs spread invitingly and he wouldn't be one to turn down such a glorious invitation if he could say so himself. His green eyes traveled over her hips which spread deliciously for him, encouraging his cock.

Karen waited and sure enough Harry swallowed the bait, right when her pussy swallowed his cock. He rammed into her from behind. The young man made sure to touch every part of her body. His hands pushed all the way over her body, and her whimpering increasing when he continued to hammer into her.

'Such a fucking good time,' Karen moaned, her mouth was too busy working over Kara's pussy. Harry slowed her orgasm to a crawl and then let it go when she least expected it, maximizing the pleasure for her body.

"Clean my dirty pussy out, please, oh that feels good, the best kind of masturbation," Kara moaned, rubbing her tits. She felt a spark when Karen used her tongue furiously on Kara's twat, licking her and drawing more of her juices into her mouth.

"Well the lady knows what she wants," Harry said, pushing his hands all over Karen's breasts and the blonde closed her eyes, with Harry dribbling into her from behind.

Karen cooed hungrily, with his manhood drilling into her from behind and the blonde was feeling her nerve endings escalate. The green eyed wizard plowed into her from behind, ramming his cock into her body.

She gripped onto Kara's thighs and continued to suck the combined juices of her and Harry out of her. The blonde really was enjoying the pleasure.

"Great Rao, yes, oh yes," Kara moaned suddenly, with her hands cupping Karen's breasts and fondling them.

Her greedy eyes watched Harry's throbbing manhood work into Karen from behind. She envisioned herself taking that cock again and got wet just thinking about it.

Kara was getting wanton and she wanted his manhood deep inside her body. She pleaded and begged, her body heating up but Karen gave her more attention, licking out her cunt.

Harry pushed himself into the home stretch, working over his busty blonde wife and her walls squeezed his tool, when he worked into her body from behind. She whimpered with Harry ramming into her body over and over again from behind.

Karen's excitement increased with Harry's engorged prick working into her, and driving her to a greater orgasm yet.

She panted harder and she was suddenly about ready to explode, she was already gushing with pleasure with Harry drilling himself into her.

Something had to give and her tight cunt worked around him, milking him, and Harry groaned, his balls tightening.

He injected his seed into her body, splashing his hot load into her. He splashed his seed into her body and Karen whined when he injected himself into her.

"So, are you ready for more?" Harry asked Kara, allowing Karen to slide out of him.

At the Kent residence in Rural Kansas, young Clark Kent was in the process of doing his chores. Granted, he was just about done and he could accomplish them fairly quickly, especially with his blossoming powers.

That was one of the perks of having powers, he supposed, he would be able to get his chores done far faster than a normal person.

That being said, Clark looked up in time from cleaning out the barn to see the mailman drop off some mail in the box.

He finished up in the barn and the young man sped over. He unlatched the mail box and took out the mail. He took in a stack of envelopes, along with a moderately sized rectangular brown package that sparked the young man's curiosity just a tiny bit.

Clark made his way towards the main house, and he pretty much saw what he expected.

'Bills, bills, bills, guess Ma and Pa will have to sort those out, better leave things where they can find it,' Clark thought and he had his hands on the package, he was curious to say the least and he frowned, holding the package in his hand and looking it over.

It was more curious that the package was addressed to him. Clark didn't remember ordering anything off hand. Someone sent this package to him and his natural curiosity overwhelmed him and he wanted to open it.

He was on the doorstep almost inside the house and he thought about showing it to his mother before he opened it, but the natural curiosity of Clark Kent, Age Eleven, overwhelmed any common sense he might have had.

Besides, it was addressed to him and he had super powers, so it wasn't like it would hurt it.

Opening the door, his mother wasn't around just yet, and Clark dropped the bills down on the side table, before looking at the package curiously.

'I wonder what this is,' he thought and he tore through the package, opening it up.

He was intrigued to see what he found. It was a rather ornate looking wooden box, with some pretty heavy engraving on it. It was unique, he had never seen pretty much anything like this in his life and that was something given some of the weird things that rumored to be happening in Smallville.

Clark's curiosity increased, bubbling over just a little bit more and he saw that the box had a note attached to it so he took it off and frowned. It was unlike any other note that he read in his life, although it did resemble something that Kara showed him once. It was written in hieroglyphics regardless and he frowned when his gaze brushed over the box.

'Maybe she can tell me what it says when she gets here,' Clark thought and he closed his eyes, opening the box.

Inside the box, he found a thin looking mirror. That might have been one of the last things that he expected to see but never the less, Clark picked up the mirror, completely enthralled by it.

Had he been a bit more careful, he would have noticed that the allure of the mirror is pulling himself towards it.

Clark stared and frowned. He could have almost sworn that he saw what appeared to be a blurry image of a girl with blue eyes that looked identical to his.

The reflection captivated him and slowly, Clark pressed his hand to the mirror, at the same time that the girl did likewise on the end.

There was a blinding flash that lit up the room, and the mirror spun in midair.

When the flash stopped, there was a chair. A girl wearing a white shirt, and blue jeans popped up, her hair tied back in a ponytail, and her blue eyes blinking, when she shook her disoriented head.

Clark Kent, Age Eleven of Smallville, Kansas, born Kal-El of Krypton, switched places with Clair Kent Age Eleven of Smallville, Kansas, born Clara Jor-El of Krypton.

While this happened, the mystic energies from the mirror swept out, seeking the most disposal source of power which just happened to be the weak wand waving witches and wizards across the world, the most disposable of magic users. Many disappeared, it was like they never existed at all, most likely because they didn't.

A select few remained, but most did not, and those that did, their memories were rewritten and new ones were replaced.

The mirror crumbled into dust. It's job had been done.

Claire Kent stood in the middle of the hallway, awestruck and confused. She managed to return to senses, everything finally settling around her.

Martha popped her head in from the Kitchen and looked at her daughter. "Go watch up for lunch now young lady."

Claire smiled when her mother approached her. "Okay, Mom."

Around this time in the air, Kara, Karen, Faora, and Harry were in the air. Zinda was sitting in the cockpit, flying the plane.

"So, we're going to be there in about an hour, won't it be great to see Clark?" Kara asked.

No sooner did she say this, was a wave of magic energy struck the plane. All of them felt extreme warmth and none of them in the plane were any the wiser with their memories being rewritten.

Harry felt something slap into the side of his face with a blunt force, the tendrils of new memories trying to supersede and override the ones that were more familiar to him. His mind was running wild with this foreign information that tried to work his mind over.

Things were changing and he could feel a few strands of the bond link snapping, like they might if one of his bond mates had died. But he couldn't follow them back, because it was like they never existed.

He closed his eyes, refusing to let go of his old memories, and managed to use his Occlumency skills to shift them into another compartment of his brain. This process allowed new memories to almost seamlessly seep in. The newer memories were more vivid, almost like they were trying to remind Harry what was real, and what wasn't really.

He sat there, his eyes wide and bloodshot when he tried to rationalize what happened, there were people who were there a moment ago, that weren't there any more.

"Won't it be great to see Claire?" Kara asked, as if nothing out of the ordinary was wrong. "Harry?"

Harry shook his head, and he disappeared from the bond completely, almost like he was thrown down a tunnel, all of the strands being detached from him for ten seconds.

Then the strands returned to him, well a good portion of them is. There were some that were missing, most of them from the world of wand wavers, which didn't seem to exist anymore.

"Harry!" Kara yelled, shaking him madly and this caught Faora's attention, she could feel Harry disconnect from the bond network for the briefest of instances.

Faora darted over next to her brother, placing a hand over his forehead, and using a diagnostic spell on him. The glow illuminated and Harry was coming back to life.

"I'm fine….I don't know what happened," Harry grumbled and Faora shook her head, running her hand down his forehead. Something really hard struck Harry.

He looked a bit shaken but better than expected, or at least better than people might expect that he would look given the circumstances.

"So are you sure that you're okay?"

"Head hurts a little bit but….."

"Let me finish," Faora said gently but firmly.

"So, I think that I'll finally be able to introduce Karen to Claire, you know as my big sister and….."

"Claire?" Harry asked suddenly, his mind completely rattled. He did know a Claire Kent come to think about it but there were other memories that were filed away, that made him wonder what was going on. "Don't you mean Clark?"

"No, I mean Claire Kent, also my cousin Clara Jor-El, you know Aunt Lara's daughter," Kara said and her eyes snapped towards Faora. "I thought you and Aunt Lara said that he was perfectly fine now, except for his CORE."

Faora didn't answer for a second and Kara cleared her throat impatiently. She checked over Harry and wondered what the problem could be.

"Yes, he should be, all of the tests said that he did, but he suffered a concussion…..Har, take a nap while I'll try and work this out, and it's a fair amount of time before we land," Faora said, gently rubbing his temples and causing him to drift back into a state of rest.

He was burned out anyway so he eagerly took the suggestion to make himself sleep, and Faora continued the massage, using her fingers to heal any damage.

Faora didn't want to say anything but Kara and Karen looked at her.

"He suffered a brain hemorrhage a few moments ago…..and don't freak out," Faora whispered, she was freaking out badly enough for the three of them. "The damage is being healed….."

When Harry was in a state of being restful, he was still cycling through numerous new memories, or perhaps memories that were here the entire time. It was hard to determine. Perhaps those past memories were ones that were an illusion, spending time in that fucked up world that was something out of a Dickens wet dream. There were a few people that he knew that just weren't anymore but there were a lot of things that came back to him.

Harry stirred back away some time later at Faora's insistence, the memories settled, although he managed to compartment all of the old memories.

"The plane has landed," she informed him gently and Harry nodded in response, still a bit disoriented but he was coming back to life.

Harry got up to his feet, he actually now was thinking more clearly than ever before and he took a step forward, looking for that long leather coat that he was wearing thanks to the cold weather in Gotham City. He smiled and found out that Kara had already slipped it on and she looked at him, with worry bubbling into her eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm okay," Harry said, walking over and sweeping her into a nice hug.

There was a moment of indecision but his certainty caused the blonde to relax. Kara relaxed in his embrace and took this moment to snuggle into him, her face buried into his shoulder and Harry tightened the embrace.

Karen decided to join the party and swept them into a tight hug, and there was much amusement when Kara was the meat in a Karen and Harry sandwich.

Unfortunately, this party would have to be broken up, as the plane door clicked open and the three of them broken apart.

"Come on," Faora said and she was the first one to leave the plane, and Harry followed, Kara clinging by his arm and looking as if she would not let go any time soon.

They were greeted by the sight of a beautiful redhead woman, with long hair and bright blue eyes that shined brightly. Even with the severe look that was on her face, she looked absolutely gorgeous, and she had a fit body that was wrapped in a business suit. The tight black skirt did wonders in showcasing her amazing ass.

Her severe look turned into a bright grin and Harry's memories recognized her as Alexandria "Alexa" Luthor, who Harry remembered meeting at the same party as Lex last summer. She was good friends with Sapphire, having gone to boarding school with her, and Tamara as well. In fact, she went to Harvard with her, and is still attending, alongside Tess. The two of them have been maintaining a correspondence ever since the party.

"Harry," Alexa said and she walked forward, to greet him, sweeping him into a warm hug and smiling at him. "I thought that you'd appreciate a familiar face to greet you here."

That made things pretty clear to Harry that a few things had changed, but perhaps they changed for the better.

Faora decided to stay in Metropolis for the time being, but she was not ruling out the very obvious possibility that she might be staying there later. In the meantime, Harry, Kara, Karen, and Alexa arrived at the Kent Residence.

Helping the girls out of the limo, Harry turned his attention towards the Kent Residence.

"Don't worry, I've got my luggage, are you going to be okay?" Kara asked and Harry smiled and nodding her.

"Well, if I'm not going to be okay, at least you're going to be there to catch me, so I have that much going for me," Harry said and there was no question about it, a little grin appeared on Kara's face, despite the seriousness of the situation.

Harry smiled and walked over, knocking on the front door. He only had seconds before the door opened and there was a loud duel squeal of "Harry!"

It was yelled in unison by a pair of overly excited brunette twelve year old girls. Said girls nearly promptly pounced him, nearly backing him off and sending him down to the pavement. It was a small favor that Harry was able to maintain his balance and not go crashing to the ground.

Lana was recognized immediately from both sets of memories, and his memories were telling him that the other girl was Claire.

"How are you…?"

"What time did you get there….?"

"You didn't run into any trouble, here….?"

"Are you better after your motorcycle accident….?"

"Whoa, whoa, slow down," Harry said, his hand was still spinning and he smiled at both of them. "I'm fine, I got here just now obviously, I didn't run into any trouble, and I'm much better after my motorcycle accident."

Obviously two girls who asked a million questions obviously would have a million more to ask but that have to wait. Kara swooped down and scooped her baby cousin up in her arms.

"Hi Kara," Claire said with a smile on her face and she looked towards an older version of Kara who was standing there with a smile on her face. "So who is…"

"That's Karen, she's my older sister," Kara said, and Claire smiled.

"So, I guess that would make her my older cousin then," Claire answered and Kara smiled and nodded in response, before setting her down.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Claire, Kara has told me so much about you," Karen said and she pulled her cousin into a nice warm hug.

Claire blushed slightly when her face pressed against Karen's breasts but she shook it off. That did not go unnoticed by her cousins, either of them to be honest.

"Well, now that we're introduced….." Lana started and she grabbed Harry by one hand and Claire grabbed him by the other hand and both girls marched Harry into the kitchen, where an amused looking Martha was sitting around, having tea with Nell.

"You better be careful Claire, you'll take Harry's arm off if you're not," Martha said in amusement.

Harry saw the portraits that were there, there was nothing out of the ordinary, Claire was there, she looked pretty happy but he remembered many of those same portraits from his other set of memories and he shook his head with a long sigh.

'May have experienced both sets,' Harry said and he walked over, greeting Martha with a kiss on the forehead and he turned towards Nell, giving her a swift kiss on the lips. With that Harry helped himself to a cup of coffee.

Harry made a split second decision to ask a question and he slowly turned to Claire.

"So, Claire, has anything out of the ordinary happened to you today?"

Claire thought about it, cutely biting down on her lip, but she nodded. "Well, kind of…..I mean, I got this package today, but it turned out to be a prank since there was nothing in it but a weird note that I couldn't read."

Harry narrowed his eyes in response and he calmly stated to her. "Could you please go and get it?"

To Claire's credit, she moved as fast as she could without using her powers, which brought up a really interesting point.

'You know, maybe it's time to let Lana in on the secret, since it's going to be harder to keep this from her the further Claire's powers expand,' Kara thought and Harry smiled in response.

'Funnily enough, I was thinking just about the same thing,' Harry said. 'And it would take care of any unnecessary drama that they might have when they're teenagers.'

'And there's also the fact that Lana might have developed powers due to exposure to the meteors,' Karen thought but that was a discussion that they would hit later.

"Here it is," Claire said, folding her arms over and handing Harry the note.

It was interesting, the note was written by what appeared to be the Kryptonian version of Captain Ahab.

'From hell's heart I stab at thee, for hate's sake I spit my final breath at thee,' Harry recited and he acted like nothing out of the ordinary was the matter.

There was no doubt he would have to determine what was going on here.

After going to sleep, Harry woke up and he wasn't really surprised to find out where he woke up, in the temple with the Goddesses. He could see Athena, Aphrodite, Artemis, Circe, and Hestia all around, but that wasn't all. Didi and Hope stood there, dressed in attire that made them blend in quite nicely with all of the goddesses, wearing tight white togas and sandals and the two sides of Death greeted Harry with a smile.

He could see another goddess that had long flowing brown hair and bright blue eyes and it took him a moment to realize that it was Hera.

Then, Hippolyta, Diana, and Morgaine turned up. Harry knew that they were here for a reason.

"So, you may have noticed that something was amiss," Morgaine commented and there was no doubt in her mind or the minds of the fair few who had not been affected by the changes that they were extremely drastic.

"So, I'm not going crazy?"

"No, but…..I have a feeling that you were more disoriented with it than the others," Diana said and she had a bit of a headache for a while but that was nothing compared to what Harry felt she was sure.

"Jor-El had a lot of enemies in his life, both on Krypton and he also spent some time on Earth where he ruffled more than a few favors and I'm sure elsewhere in the universe," Athena commented. "This enemy decided to strike back with Jor-El, and did it through his son."

Athena waited for them to have that sink in, before she continued.

"It was a mirror, the same mirror that gave Lewis Carrol inspiration for 'Through the Looking Glass' and if all of you feel that way, it is for good reason," Athena continued. "The mirror is an interesting little object, for it replaced Kal-El of Krypton with Clara Jor-El of Krypton. From both of their perspectives, they are in the world that they should have been in. Nothing has changed, but in this world, Clark has never existed but Claire has and in Claire's former world, she has never existed, but Clark has."

Harry could feel his head spin for a second but he got the vast majority of that, at least enough where his brain didn't implode upon itself when trying to piece together certain details.

"So, I'm guessing that it is because that I am the Master of Death that protected my memories."

"Yes, if you call what happened to you, protected," Hope said with a sad smile on her face and she shook her head, in response. "But there were some benefits that came out of this entire mess…..even if your CORE got dinged in response."

"Many of your bonded survived, due to their nature of being closely knitted with you, although there were some that did not," Artemis said and Harry nodded, he figured that. "Morgaine, Hippolyta, and Diana are demi-goddesses in their own right, so they were immune to the changes, although the new memories are filtering in….."

"Yes, so says my throbbing head," Diana commented and there was some amusement from all parties at that. "So Donna….."

"She'll pick up on the changes, yes, but only so many people can be brought here at once," Athena said with a sigh. "Regardless, the mirror was overwhelmed, and it took out the entire society of wand wavers with it…"

"Very little of value will be lost there," Circe muttered underneath her breath but no one else said anything either positive or negative in response.

"Some found new life, but those who didn't, perished as casualties when the mirror was destroyed."

Harry frowned and shook his head, clearing the cobwebs. That was true, considering that he went to a boarding school for the gifted, after moving to Smallville with his mother, aunt, and twin sisters when he was very young. He still met some of the same people, others he didn't. He met Faora and Kara at age eleven and began his training with them at that time.

He still obtained the Hallows which damaged his CORE, so he couldn't get that lucky. There were a few things that were missing that he couldn't reconcile. There used to be two of him and now there wasn't.

He had a company out in Britain that was an offshoot branch for RAO, that was run by two members of the same Society that Lily and Rose were a part of, and he was as well, along with several of his mistresses. It was run by Charlotte Edwards, who never married, and Lindsey Preston, who was Harry Potter's student mentor when he went to Cambridge.

Everyone had faded, which Harry was not surprised by, it was extremely taxing to stand up here, all with the exception of Hera.

"I think that it is long overdue for the two of us to speak face to face," Hera said and Harry turned towards her with a smile. "Considering the last several times you've been here, actually every time that you've been here, I seemed to have missed out on talking to you…..but you know, I have a busy schedule."

"It's not a problem….."

Hera placed her finger on Harry's lips to silence him.

"But it would be a good time to talk to each other," she whispered to him, excitement brimming in her eyes.

"Well, who am I to deny a beautiful woman?" Harry asked and Hera gave him a radiant smile.

She offered her hand and he took him, leading him out into an extremely beautiful garden. Harry's eyes traveled, seeing an impressive view of the world below.

It struck Harry, slowly but surely where they were. It took his brain a moment to reboot to see the sight that they were graced by.

To put things bluntly, he stood on Mount Freaking Olympus.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Hera asked him and Harry nodded in response. She gave an uncharacteristic giggle before leading onward.

They were not standing in an extremely beautiful area of the garden and it radiated, but it paled to the woman that was near him.

"I feel like I've wasted an entire eternity, or more, putting up with the bullshit of someone who has grown lazy," Hera said and Harry looked at her, raising his eyebrow in surprise before he got the message loud and clear.

"You're talking about your ex-husband aren't you?"

"Yes, I'm talking about my ex-husband, Zeus…..it took me long enough to drop him like a bad habit, after all of the bullshit he's put me through the past eternity," Hera said and she twirled her fingers through her hair in frustration. "He decides to play a slacker…..which really isn't playing that much to be honest, hanging around California either bowling, surfing, or sleeping with sexually frustrated house wives and soccer moms. Given them the most lackluster five minutes of their life no doubt."

Harry couldn't help but grin at that statement.

Hera sighed. "Guess it causes the rest of the gods to pick up the slack and actually do their jobs but…..really turn about is fair play, isn't it?"

Hera's eyes locked onto Harry's and she was looking him up and down with a smile on her face, the grin appearing on her face getting even more wanton.

"If I want to find some young stud of my own, after playing the faithful wife for so long, then is there anything really stopping me?" she asked him nonchalantly and Harry smiled at her.

"Not a thing," Harry said.

"See, that's what I like about you, and you are a god in the making, and not yesterday's trash," Hera said and she stepped towards him closing the gap. "But as the Goddess of Woman and Marriage, you do realize that it would set a bad example to just jump into bed…so I expect you to court me properly, to really make me wet in the panties, and really make me want it, until the point where I have no choice."

Harry smiled and she cupped her face into her hands and leaned forward, giving him an extremely electrifying kiss. Their lips mashed together in the most primal of desire for a good period of time.

Long after she parted, Harry still felt her taste lingering on his lips.

"It was nice talking to you, and I think that it will be wonderful to do it again sooner than you think," she replied with a wink.

Harry got the impression that they may have met before but that wasn't possible, because as far as he knew, it was the first time they ever met.

Still it was one of those things that made him think, even though there were a lot of things that made him thing today.

Jonathan Kent was on his way back from town, he had to head into the city to do some banking, and to pick up a couple of things that he couldn't get in a small town like Smallville.

He realized that he could have asked Harry when he was in town but it slipped his mind that he was coming to visit until he was already in the city. So Jonathan went about the business as usual.

He was on the home stretch getting home, running a bit beyond schedule, but he was on his way home.

Suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest, something that had been happening on and off most of the day, ever since he had lunch in town earlier.

"Guess I shouldn't have had those chilly fries earlier," Jonathan muttered, rubbing his aching chest and the pain started to spread.

He tried to shake it off but the pain spread up to his shoulder and then it went down slowly, his arm growing a bit numb. He broke into a cold sweat and started to cough madly.

He could barely catch his breath, and then suddenly he could feel a bright light flash around him.

That was the last thing that Jonathan Kent saw right before his truck swerved off of the road and slammed into a really large tree.
