Jason stepped into the surveillance room, the hum of machines and scrolling star-maps washing over him like white noise. The tension in the air was sharp, focused. Adam Strange was already on his feet the moment Jason crossed the threshold.
"Jason!" Adam said, tapping a console with barely contained excitement. "We've got something. Proof of contact. And as a bonus, I managed to recover part of the transmission itself."
Jason's lips curved into a slow, cold smile."Good. Let's see what you've got."
Adam nodded and keyed in the playback."Here. This is as clean as I could get it."
The speakers crackled. Static swallowed the first few seconds, the audio stuttering like a wounded thing trying to breathe.
"—gh… prob— we've… and… lo—"
The noise slowly thinned, sharpened, and then the voices came through.
"This army will help us reclaim Earth as our own," Vandal Savage's voice said, calm and assured, steeped in arrogance. "It will destroy the League… and that damn Jason."
Queen Bee's reply came immediately, raw and furious.
"I don't care!" she shouted. "You ran away and left me for him! He almost killed me! My powers don't work on him and now I'm trapped! He's watching every move I make— I'm going to die at this rate!"
Jason's eyes narrowed, his expression unreadable.
"Relax," Savage replied smoothly. "Our friend assured us this army will be perfect. He's an enemy of the League as well. He hates them personally. They killed him once."
"Do you not hear me?!" Queen Bee screamed. "You're out there, wherever the hell you are, and you left me behind! This 'friend' of yours won't help when my head gets cut in half! I lost my arm to him! I had to use beast healers just to reattach it, and I can't even feel it!"
Her voice cracked with fear, no longer masked by rage.
"If this army fails—and it will—then I die! I am not crossing Jason again! I'm done, Savage! DONE! Bye!"
The feed cut out abruptly, leaving only static behind.
Silence settled over the room.
Adam exhaled slowly."That's everything we managed to recover. The first half was too damaged to reconstruct, but this… this is enough to confirm she's working with him."
Jason's smirk returned, sharper this time, edged with promise.
"Indeed," he said quietly. "And I'll personally find out what was in that first message."
He turned his head slightly.
"Kara. Bring Zatanna. We're going on a special mission."
Kara stiffened for half a second, then nodded quickly."Sure. Okay. Yeah… let's go."
...
The jet hummed through the night sky towards Bialya. Jason sat back, letting the vibration soothe him, while Zatanna piloted. He felt a persistent stare burning into the side of his head. Kara was seated next to him, her gaze fixed on him with an intensity that felt less like curiosity and more like she was trying to solve a particularly offensive puzzle.
He ignored it as long as he could. But the stare didn't waver, sharp and judgmental. Finally, he cracked.
"What is it?" Jason asked, not turning his head.
Kara startled, as if jerked from a daydream. "What?"
"You keep staring at me like I'm a bastard. Spit it out," Jason said, finally looking at her.
She straightened in her seat, eyes narrowing. "Okay, fine. I'll ask. Harley Quinn. What's your deal with her? Huh? She was talking about fucking you, going on about your magical, big dick or whatever—which, whatever—but that's not the point. Is it true? Are you with her? Like, not just fuck-buddies or a one-night thing. Are you guys a couple?"
Jason sighed, a short, exasperated sound. "That's your big mystery? Yeah. We're a couple. What's it to you?"
"No, I mean… I'm not against it. It's just… this morning. What the fuck was that?" Kara pressed, her voice rising.
Zatanna sighed from the cockpit. "If you're still on about the clothes thing, just forget it. The bastard at least unlocked your Cursed Energy. With me, he just copped a feel of my tits for his own fun."
"No! Not that! I didn't even mind the training!" Kara shot back. "I'm talking about you and Diana. I'm not stupid. I have perfect vision, mind you. I saw her sitting in your lap, giving you those little secret kisses. So what the fuck was that?"
"What of it?" Jason said, his voice flat. "Yes, she was on my lap. Yes, she was kissing me. What's the problem?"
"What the fuck do you mean, 'what's the problem'? You're cheating! On Harley!" Kara exclaimed, righteous anger flushing her cheeks.
Jason just sighed again, a smirk tugging at his lips. "I see what this is. You're just a nosy little shit, eh?"
"Hey! I'm serious! It's fucking disrespectful! Cheating is not cool, man!"
"If what she says is true… then yeah, Jason, what the fuck?" Zatanna chimed in, glancing back.
Jason's smirk widened. "Well, have you asked Harley's opinion on it?"
"What? Of course not! I wanted to confirm it first and give you a chance to come clean to her!" Kara said, crossing her arms.
"Well, had you asked, you'd know Harley is okay with it. In fact, she set the whole shit up," Jason said, leaning back, his expression triumphant. "I'm in what people call a polyamorous relationship with them."
"WHAT?! Really?!" Kara blurted out, eyes wide.
Zatanna nodded slowly. "Huh. Explains your chillness about it."
A deep blush spread across Kara's face. "Shit. Does that mean I judged you? I'm sorry…"
"Nah, it's cool. I was just messing with you anyway," Jason said, his tone lighter.
"Wow… You, Diana, and Harley? That's… fucking cool. But…" Kara fumbled, her anger replaced by flustered curiosity. "I don't know. Doesn't it feel weird? Knowing your partner will be with someone else?"
"No," Jason explained simply. "Because they won't be. Diana and Harley are mine alone. No one else's."
"Wait… so like… isn't this just a harem?" Kara asked, tilting her head.
"I guess you can call it that, yeah," Jason replied with a shrug.
"Wow. Okay. That's a bit unfair," Zatanna cut in, her voice dry. "You get to fuck anyone you want, and they're stuck with you?"
"Yeah? I mean, it's their choice. I didn't force it. Rules are simple: They love me, I love them. I fuck any girl I desire and add her to my harem. They aren't allowed other men. Just me."
"That's fucked up," Zatanna stated.
But Kara was the odd one out, looking thoughtful. "I mean… why? I'm not sure how it works on Earth, but every other planet I've visited has some version of this. Strong men, strong women, kings and queens… they all have their harems. Personal collections of people devoted to them, Sometimes it's out of love, sometimes it's out submission"
Zatanna opened her mouth to argue that Earth wasn't like that, but stopped herself. She'd be lying. Her own magical heritage and plenty of human history told a different story. "I mean… I guess it's the same in this case?" she conceded.
"Indeed," Jason said, his voice dropping to a more serious, almost possessive tone. "Besides, I truly do love them. I don't force them to stay. If they hadn't found me… satisfactory… they wouldn't be with me."
"Oh, what, you're flexing your sex skills on us now, Mr. Big Dick?" Kara retorted, recovering some of her fire. "Well, I'll have you know, I'm a Kryptonian. Don't go thinking you can handle all women."
Jason's smirk returned, predatory and sharp. "I don't know about that. Last time, all I had to do was pinch your nipples to make you go weak. How hard can you truly be?"
Kara blushed to the tips of her ears, a mix of outrage and memory flashing in her eyes. She was about to snap back when Zatanna interrupted.
"All right, enough. We're here. Bialya Castle."
Jason got up, watching as Zatanna began lowering the ship. "Well then… Let's have some fun with Queen Bee." He moved toward the back exit but paused beside Kara. In one swift, teasing motion, his hand shot out and delivered a sharp, stinging slap to her ass under her skirt.
"Last one inside owes the other a favor," he joked, his voice a low rumble near her ear.
"DAMN YOU!" Kara shouted, and in a blur of super-speed, she was gone, leaving only the faint scent of ozone in her wake.
