Chapter 83 - Ch: 70-72

Chapter Seventy: Night of the Hawks Part Three

The Thangarians hurled pretty much everything they could at Earth. Ships, warriors, and a very huge bomb was about ready to be armed over the top of Metropolis. Other bombs could also be prepared. This was humanity's last chance to stand down. The heroes of Earth disagreed, especially given the rough actions of the Thangarians. They refused to back down from the fight.

The sounds of battle came from up above. Kara Zor-El moved at the speed of light. One of the Thangarians swung a huge axe towards Kara. Kara dodged the axe when it came inches away from parting her hair. The Girl of Steel released a huge punch to the chest to knock the Thangarian attacker back. Two more came down behind Kara. Kara flipped out of the grip of them.

Karen blasted up in the air and knocked one of the Thangarians back a few inches. One of them hurled a huge punch at Karen. The punch blasted through the air. Karen blocked the arm and grabbed the Thangarian. She hurled the Thangarian into one of the air ships to force him to smash into it with a solid crack. The Thangarian slid down hard and almost fell down back to Earth.

"We need to get to the Mothership," Karen said.

Kara nodded. They needed to do something. Needing to do something and actually doing something, was easier said than done. The Girl of Steel avoided the attack one of the axes smashed down onto the side of the head. The other Thangarian moved through the air. Kara blocked the axe of the attacker and kicked him into the face.

"Keep them off me," Karen said. "I have an idea."

No choice other than to agree, Kara nodded. She whipped her fist back into the ribs of the Thangarian and flipped him high into the air. Kara smashed the point of her elbow down across the side of the neck of her attacker. Repeated blows before Kara disarmed the attacker. She swung the mace at an accelerated speed and smashed into the chest of the Thangarian.

Sparks flew from the air with Kara knocking him down. The Girl of Steel grabbed the Thangarian around the arm and forced him back down to the air. Karen ripped open the top of one of the scouter ships. Another Thangarian flew through the air.

Kara whipped the Thangarian back against the edge of a pod which started to arm. The Girl of Steel pushed her hand through the edge of the pod and ripped it to pieces. The metal flew out and clipped the wings of the Thangarian.

"Stand clear!"

The Girl of Steel flipped in the air and dodged the blast. The engine on the ship ignited and teleported several of the Thangarian ships out of the way. The Girl of Steel smiled and turned directly towards Karen. She held up a key card in her hand. Karen and Kara locked eyes with each other.

Easy part completed, now they moved to the hard part. Karen moved to the edge of the ship and swiped inside. A few seconds passed before the gates of the mothership opened up. Karen and Kara stepped inside of the ship and waited for anything. No Thanagarians stepped around to engage them inside of the ship. Both Kryptonian blondes moved inside. Kara picked up a pair of blaster devices which axes on the end. She handed one to Kara. They might have to fight their way to the main core of the power ship.

"We're in," Kara said.

"Good," Tess said. "You entering the ship is the easiest part. The hard part is to come. And don't feel like you're under any pressure, but there's a bomb. Clark, Shayera, and Diana are trying to get in the other day. And Astra is using the Kandorians to distract them on the other end."

Karen thought so many things could go wrong. Unfortunately, no one could focus on what could go wrong in a verny dangerous situation like this.

"We need to shut the entire fleet down," Karen said.

"Easier said than done," Kara said. "I mean, I guess it's possible, but…."

Was it possible? Kara thought about it. already she tried to figure out a way to get around the security of the ship. The Girl of Steel took a deep breath and looked around. So far, nothing.

"It's possible, and you're going to have to do so," Indigo chimed in. "Even if you shut down the bomb, with the entire fleet in place, they can still deploy another bomb. We need to shut down the invasion at the source. And the source is the control room."

Karen nodded and a thought entered the Kryptonian survivor's head. She turned slowly towards her younger cousin.

"Do you think you can get to the control room?" Karen asked. "If I cover you?"

A deep moment of thought passed over the face of the Girl of Steel. Kara looked towards Karen and nodded.

"Yeah, if you cover me, I don't think there are going to be too many problems," Kara said. "So, are you ready?"

Karen nodded in confirmation, they were ready. The bomb would be deployed, unless Clark found a way to shut it down. Lara had been helping him back at the Fortress. They needed to help him, the best way they could. The two Kryptonians moved their way around the corner.

A group of Thangarians rushed around the corner. Karen's fingers pushed together and she shoved Kara through the corner.

"Go!" Karen yelled.

Chaos went through the entire world. Explosions, insanity, and everything, with Clark moving back. He pushed the ear piece into his ear and locked onto his mother on the other side.

"Please tell me you've got something," Clark said.

"I just might have something," Lara said. "But, you're going to have to head straight, it's just one shot, through the entrance into the core. And you only have two minutes before the failsafe trigger is unleashed."

Clark just allowed Lara's words to come in. The Man of Steel saw six very well armored Thangarian guards hovering about the ship. The Man of Steel looked up into the sky to see them. They hovered like a small army of particular deranged buzzards.

"Don't they know that if they get caught in the crossfire they will get burned?" Clark asked.

"They know," Shayera said. "They just don't care."

They don't care and neither did Shayera. The Hawk warrior blitzed in the air and hurled her mace at one of the lead guards. She caught him in the chest and knocked the attacker back. The mace flew back into Shayera's head. She caught the mace and swung it back. The sound of the mace cracking against the Thangarian knocked him back.

Diana added her set up with the Amazon wrapping the lasso around the wings of the hawk creature. The Amazon whipped her adversary down to the ground and brought him down hard. The Amazon jumped up and blocked the swung weapon at her. The Amazon Princess whipped the arm of the attacker back. She slammed her fist deep into the chest of her adversary.

One of the attackers jumped in the air and Diana blocked the attack. The Amazon flipped him up into the air, and grabbed onto the waist of the attacker. Diana swung the Thangarian around and hurled him towards another one of the flying hawks. The two Thangarians slammed into each other in the middle of the air with an explosive attack. The Amazon pulled back, a smile crossing her face.

"The ship's clear!" Clark yelled.

The Man of Steel grabbed onto the edge of the ship and yanked on it. He pulled the ship open and allowed the trio of attackers to enter the ship.

"You just need to go to the right, and you'll be there," Lara said.

Tess jumped onto the communication network. "Kara and Karen are on the main fleet. They're going to try and redirect the Thangarians back home."

Clark really hoped his cousins would succeed. One of the largest and meanest Thangarians they ever saw made his way over. He cracked his knuckles and rushed Clark. The Man of Steel dodged the attack, with Clark flipping himself up into the air. He caught the Thangarian with a huge series of punches to the side. The Thangarian rushed around and almost nailed Clark.

"You're not going to stop us!" the Thangarian growled.

"I bet you we will," Clark said.

The Thangarian charged Clark and just avoided the attack. The wall got smashed. Clark ducked the attack and came back with repeated attacks. Clark caught two of the pressure points and doubled him. The Man of Steel flipped the Thangarian down onto the ground. The Man of Steel pulled back his fist and smacked it into Thangarian's neck.

Shayera's eyes flared and she nailed two of the Thangarian guards with a huge mace being swung at the attackers. The Thangarian's breathing increased when she hurled back the mace and then nailed the Thangarians when they charged her one more time.

"Come on!"

"Shayera!" Clark yelled. "You have to focus."

The Thangarian's eyes bulged out. Anger spread through the body of the woman. She flipped the mace back a few inches and smashed it directly into the charging enemy. The Thangarian blasted her enemy as hard as possible with the mace when connecting with her.

"I'm focused," Shayera said.

Clark placed a hand on Shayera's shoulder. The Thangarian calmed down, the Hawk Woman keeping her head above the water as much as possible. She looked off to one side.

"We need to go," Diana said. "Shayera and I will keep them off of your back for as long as we can."

The sounds of battle from outside of the ship momentary brought Clark's attention away. He took in a breath and moved over to the edge. The ship started to beep around him. No more guards came and Clark kept moving a little bit further to the edge of the ship.

"Clark, I don't know if you know this, but the bomb's about ready to deploy," Chloe said.

"I'm getting there, it will be fine," Clark said.

The Kryptonian moved around the corner. He had to say everything would be fine, because otherwise things would be going very insane. The bomb hovered over Metropolis.

"Kara's in position," Tess said. "Keep your fingers crossed."

Clark pried open the power core from the bomb. The energy hummed around Clark's fingers when he pushed his fingers through the edge of the bomb. Energy continuously pumped from the bomb when Clark pushed his fingers deep the bomb and moved. Several energy numbers flashed over in Clark's face. He maneuvered his way in, and started to disengage the bomb with a series of careful maneuvers.

"Just a little bit easier," Lara said. "Take a deep breath, that's it, you can do it, Kal."

Kara stepped into position, and moved her way towards the center. Her palms grew anxious with sweat. The Girl of Steel stepped further down the hallway, taking a deep breath. The sounds of battle from outside made Kara hope Karen won.

"Kal's done it," Lara said. "He's stopped the bomb. It's up to you to stop the fleet before they deployed another bomb."

Kara took a deep breath. She moved to the central console in the ship. It looked like one of the most complex pieces of equipment ever. The Girl of Steel pushed his hand on the edge of the ship and took in a deep breath. Smiling, Kara shifted her way towards the front panel of the ship. It clicked open and flashed open, revealing a three dimensional security disarray. Kara saw several dots which contained the ships fleet.

Very complex, but not too complex to be worked with an advanced Kryptonian computer.

"You're in," Indigo said. "All you have to do is uplink me into the ship.

The portable computer containing an uplink to Indigo pushed into the edge of the port of the ship. The uplink started with Indigo downloading all of the plans in the ship.

A loud explosion echoed from the other end of the ship. The cargo doors flew open, and Karen engaged one of the Thangarians. She struggled against him. Kara looked around nervously, when two more Thangarians stepped in. A third walked over towards the Girl of Steel, eyes widening.

"You're not going to stop us!"

Kara blasted the axe with the heat vision and knocked it out of the hand of the Thangarian. The Thangarian growled and charged Kara. The Thangarian rushed towards Kara and tried to take her head out with a vicious swing. Kara blocked the Thangarian and popped his shoulder back to send him flying down onto the ground.

More of the Thangarians rushed towards Kara. Karen jumped in and knocked one of the Thangarians back. She flipped up high into the air and caught the Thangarian with a vicious uppercut style swing. Karen and Kara fought side by side as every single Thangarian on the mothership swarmed them.

"How much longer do we have?" Kara asked.

She deflected one of the attacks and came back with repeated kicks to knock her enemy back. Kara waited for what seemed like a very long time. She broke the Thangarian's weapon when preventing him from attacking. The pace quickened in the fight, with the Girl of Steel nailing her adversary with a very vicious undercut punch which sent him flying back several feet.

"One minute and nineteen seconds."

"Stop the upload!" one of the hawks yelled at the top of his lungs.

Kara and Karen struggled against the sheer numbers. Heat vision bounced off of the ship, forcing the hawks back. One of the hawks rose a large mace with the intention to smash Indigo away from the computer. Time stood still when he came this much closer to bringing the item down on the computer.

From the vent, a blur came out and blocked the hawk's attack. The hawk's eyes widened in response, and Clark smashed him face first into the wall. Clark grabbed onto the mace and swung it around. The metal clashed down on the hawks and knocked them down to the ground.

"Figured you could use a hand," Clark said.

Kara and Karen stood back to back with each other, fighting the armor. The console of the ship started to glow and they knew Indigo finally started to upgrade the virus. The hawks stopped battle.

"What did you do?" one of them demanded.

"Made sure you realized what would happen if you messed with the people of Earth," Karen said.

"They would have been nothing without the Kryptonians," the Thangarian leader spat, almost in Karen's face.

She stepped back to avoid the disgusting spit from the Thangarian coating her face. Karen stood, firm and tall, staring back at her adversary without another word.

"Maybe they won't be the best today, but they will be someday," Karen said. "And we have a vested interest in making sure the people of this planet are the very best they could be."

"The systems are not responding," the Thangarian chief navigator said. "The only thing they've allowed us to do is to warp home."

The Thangarians on the shift all gritted their teeth and there was a sound of the ship being bombarded. Not only were all of their offensive systems down, but all of the defensive systems had been taken down as well. Their ships continued to be bombarded by a violent and vicious assault from all sides.

"Must be the Kandorians," Karen said. "Looks like you're out of luck."

Karen, Kara, and Clark moved their way to the nearest exit of the ship. This time, the Thangarians did not pursue them, knowing they had problems. Either they warped away, or their entire fleet would be destroyed. They lost a good chunk of their forces on this invasion.

"We better go before they decide to leave!" Karen yelled.

Clark answered with a nod and all of them exited the ship, one by one. They dropped down, flying out. The Thangarian Fleet started to glow before they flashed back to their Earth.

The day was saved, and the people of Metropolis cheered.

"Look, it's Superman!" a voice yelled from above.

Kara dropped down as well, and about as many people cheered for her. There was a lot of applause for them saving the world. Of course, there would be doubters, they understood that about as much as anyone else. Still, the fair amount of applause coming down brightened their day.

"We did it," Kara said.

"You did it," Clark said. "You were amazing in there."

Kara almost lost it a couple of times. It was a very tense moment for her out there during the alien invasion. Still, somehow, she managed to do a good job in holding it together. Karen helped her. She looked up in the sky and watched the Kandorians return. They had played their own role.

"Well, you did it," Chloe said. "You saved the Earth."

Clark smiled, they did save the Earth, all of them, working together. Clark just had a funny feeling though, there were going to be some other challenges coming along very soon.

Shayera sat back and basked in the moment. For the first time in a long time, she felt really free. The Thangarians invading might not have been the most ideal thing for Earth. It was something at the end of the day Shayera needed to come to terms with the type of person she was. For the first time in a very long time, Shayera could breath and smile.

Granted, she was now alone, and obviously not welcomed back from the rest of her race. Shayera found herself not really caring about this particular fact to be perfectly honest. She mentally distanced herself from the Thangarians a long time ago.

Some people looked at Shayera with a bit of distrust. She could understand why they looked in her at the way they did. Shayera might not have to like it, and she did not most certainly like it. She understood though where they were going for and respected it, in some twisted, weird way. It could be very weird in a sense of the word. Thangarians received a pretty bad reputation and it was not without a good reason.

Still, she had been patched up and currently sat in the Fortress. She enjoyed the Kryptonian technology around her and some of the artifacts which had been placed there. She always held a distinct fascination for history, because those who did not learn from history, had bene often times doomed to repeat it.

Unfortunately, the Thangarians refused to learn this very valuable lesson. Shayer thought she could have learned a bit more. The damage in her wing would heal, according to Lara. She found herself pretty glad about this point.

Shayera needed to thank one person for bringing her to this point. Actually, scratch that, Shayera needed to thank a few people. One in particular just stood out at a higher point. She watched the doors, waiting for him to come on through. Any moment, he would have been here.

The door opened up and Diana stepped inside. Shayera lowered her shoulders in response and could not help, and allow a deep sigh to pass through her body. Diana noticed Shayera's very disappointed body language and looked at the woman with a smile crossing her face.

"You're upset to see me?" Diana asked.

Shayera shook her head.

"I'm not upset to see you, not in particular. It was just, I hoped to see someone else."

Diana smiled knowingly. She figured Clark did not return to the Fortress right away, for a good reason. The Thangarians were pushed away, and transported off. Tales of this failed attempt to conquer a less-technologically advanced planet like Earth would haunt them for the rest of their days. It did not matter as far as Diana had been concerned though.

"Oh?" Diana asked.

"Yes," Shayera said, smiling when she locked eyes onto Diana. "I think we can both agree who that might be. I own him a lot, I owe you a lot as well."

"Well, you might be able to kill two birds with one stone," Diana said.

Shayera never really liked that particular saying. It seemed unnecessarily cruel to be perfectly honest. The door slid open and Clark made his way inside. He walked up to Shayera, who looked at him with a smile and also had been eying him up very hungrily.

"How are you feeling?" Clark asked.

"Better now that Earth's saved," Shayera said. "It's going to take a while for the people to get over it. I think they don't trust me."

"One day at a time," Clark said.

"And I want to thank you," Shayera said.

Her hot blooded nature made Shayera very prone to make some very impulsive and sudden actions. One of the most sudden actions she could make was to throw her arms around Clark and then give him a very long and very deep kiss. Clark grabbed onto the back of Shayera's head and guided his tongue into her mouth.

Diana smiled and moved behind Shayera, slowly slipping the woman's pants off of her.

"It's a good thing Thangarian's are bisexual by nature," Shayera said.

"Well, most women tend to be on this planet too," Diana said. "So, you have some pretty good options."

Shayera worked Clark's shirt off with a frenzied fury. The Arctic might have been cool, but the bedroom was going to heat up. Shayera started to kiss Clark's chest, and abs. She moved down, with Diana taking her place. The Amazon Princess already stripped bare naked, and Shayera felt a stirring in her loins when she realized how beautiful Diana looked. Diana turned a fraction of an inch and Shayera drank in the sight of Diana's beautiful ass.

Both women made short work of Clark's pants and freed the object of their desire in a flash.

Shayera unveiled Clark and came face to face with an endowment the likes of which she had never seen in her life. The Thangarian's lips moistened. Diana snapped her fingers to bring Shayera back to life.

"Do you think you can handle anything like that?" Diana asked.

Diana dropped to her knees before Shayera and took Clark's cock into her mouth. The Amazon gave him a few very loud and very pleasurable sucks. Her hand cupped the underside of the balls, squeezing them, and making sure to feel the cum which loaded.

Shayera watched Diana take Clark's cock down her throat. The Thangarian imagined herself in Diana's place. Diana slid her lips off and licked around the edge of Clark's cock. She kissed the tip of his head and pulled away.

"Of course I can."

Clark looked at the gorgeous green-eyed redhead on her knees before him. Those hands placed on either side of Clark's hips. Shayera moved in and her lips wrapped around Clark. She grabbed the base of his cock with her hands to feel it up, when sucking the head.

And she sucked Clark Kent, hard. The Last Son of Krypton closed his eyes. The Thangarian pushed her warm lips deep around Clark's hard manhood. The sensation of Shayera blowing him felt good. Coupled in that, Diana came down, and started to attack Clark's balls.

Both beautiful and strong vixens worshipped their god. Clark put his hands on the back of their heads, feeling their silky hair. He guided them to suck and to do whatever they wanted to him. The feeling of his loins aching, and needing more increased.

"Shayera!" Clark groaned.

The Thangarian took Clark deep into her throat. The hawk warrior's blowjob brought new meaning to the term intensity. She looked intense on pretty much everything she did. Clark grabbed Shayera's head and slowly pumped his way into her warm mouth. Shayera bobbed up and down on Clark's pole and took as much into her mouth as possible.

Every now and then, Diana would squeeze his balls before sucking on them. The suction effect made Clark groan when feeling their hot mouths and warm tongues work him over. The two women brought Clark to an orgasm.

Shayera took the warm cum into her mouth. Clark pushed his cock into her mouth and used her throat to empty his cum out. Sucking down the cum, Shayera made sure to drain him as much as possible. Thankfully, the restorative powers would bring him back.

The redhead pulled herself to her feet, standing completely naked. Clark got a pretty good look at her, her fit, toned body. Nice breasts which had a pair of perfectly erect nipples sticking out and begging to be sucked. Clark's eyes drifted down to Shayera's flat stomach, and nice formed ass as well. Her hips looked perfect for grabbing on and fucking. Her pussy dripped with arousal and she had a pair of nice, strong powerful legs.

Shayera came closer towards Clark and pushed him down onto the bed. Slowly, the Thangarian grabbed Clark's cock and stroked up and down.

"Kal, it's feeding time."

Diana crouched down over Clark's face. Her ass smacked against it and Clark responded by slapping the very firm posterior of the Amazon. He grabbed her onto her ass and lightly brushed his tongue against it. Diana closed her eyes, the further Clark pushed his tongue against her ass and moved in to lick her pussy.

Clark's throbbing cock found the inside of the Thangarian. Shayera felt him stretch her warm womanhood out. The feeling of this manhood pushing her walls apart felt really good. Clark's hips rose up and shoved more of his cock inside of her. Shayera moaned in pleasure when coming down onto him.

The warm tightness Shayera boasted about collapsed around Clark's engorged prick. The Thangarian pushed herself up and down and rode Clark's throbbing pole silly. She reached over and grabbed Diana's chest.

Turn about seemed to be fair play. Diana groped Shayera's chest back and the two powerful women continued to pinch and prod at each other's swollen nipples, before moving in and kissing each other.

The sound of both women above him made Clark's hips push up even harder. Shayera clamped down onto him, the warm vice of her pussy squeezing Clark's manhood as tightly as possible. Clark grabbed Shayera's hips and guided her down onto his throbbing hard pole.

"Ohhh!" Shayera yelled.

She came, came big time onto Clark. She realized the Amazon moved her attentions from Shayera's mouth and now onto her breasts. They demanded to be sucked, and Diana scratched every primal itch Shayera had. The Amazon pushed her hips down onto Clark and milked him.

Clark pulled away from Diana, and went to squeeze Shayera's firm backside. The Thangarian brought herself down. The moisture oozed from Shayera and allowed him to get a very firm path to pound her. Clark looked up through Diana, using his X-Ray vision and he caught a glimpse of both of the women taking turns sucking each other's breasts. It caused Clark's balls to ache even more.

"Oh, Kal, that's it, right there!" Diana moaned.

Clark vibrated his tongue with super speed into Diana and hit all of her buttons. Her mate ate Diana's pussy so furiously, she almost came undone. She grabbed onto Shayera's face to hold herself up.

Shayera looked into Diana's face, so full of erotic fulfillment and she had no choice, but to bring herself down harder upon Clark's throbbing manhood. Shayera pushed deep down onto Clark and filled herself up. Each fall, each drop, brought Clark further into her body. The Thangarian's breathing increased when bouncing up and down on Clark's hard, throbbing cock.

"OOOH!" Shayera screamed at the top of her lungs.

She made sure everyone heard the passion coming through her when she came. Clark's cock pistoned into her and lead Shayera's orgasm to another orgasm. Shayera never felt this good in any of her lifetimes. Clark spoiled her, and made her feel really good.

Diana threw her head back from another round of Clark munching on her. He touched all of the spots which drove Diana nuts with unbridled passion.

The Man of Steel felt both women cum all over his mouth and cock respectfully. Shayera's very warm pussy made her feel really good. Clark could not help but pound inside of her. The young man pushed up into Shayera, his balls begging for release.

Shayera dropped down onto Clark's throbbing balls. She could feel Clark shove deep inside of her body, with each powerful thrust. The young man pushed deep inside of Shayera, his balls dropping and his balls getting heavier.

"Cum, please, I need your cum inside me," Shayera said.

Clark put his full attention on pumping up into Shayera. He pushed his cock inside of her, his balls swelling up and then releasing inside of her body. Several thick, ropes of cum shot into Shayera's womanhood and filled up her pussy to the brim.

Shayera grabbed Clark's shoulder and rode down all the way. She felt herself filled up with so much cum, she could hardly stand it.

Diana fell back onto the bed as well. Clark ate her out to an amazing orgasm. She watched Shayera descend back on the bed. The woman resembled an angel who had been debauched, falling back on the bed, her wings spread.

Slowly, Diana crawled over Clark to get to Shayera. Her pussy dragged all over Clark's body and teased him, when rubbing against him. The Amazon Princess came towards Shayera's thighs and saw Clark's cum oozing out, combined with Shayera's own.

Shayera looked up and saw Diana kiss down her belly button. The Thangarian's breathing increased with Diana working her way down, licking around Shayera's dripping hot slit. Diana positioned herself between Shayera's legs and sucked Clark's cum out of her.

"That's hot," Clark groaned.

Diana reached up, grabbed her ass, and smacked it invitingly. Clark did not need to be told twice. He moved over, cock re-hardened and he positioned himself into Diana.

Shayera's hips jerked up off of the bed with Diana's tongue going deep inside of her. She could feel Clark fucking Diana from behind and the vibrations coming back through Diana as she moaned, it caused Shayera to thrash about on the bed. Her eyes flooded over with lust.

The Amazon Princess ate a pussy, like she had many times in the past. The taste of Shayera's sweet, sweet, pussy, caused Diana to be blinded with lust. Clark's manhood pushing into her, feeling up her body, those strong hands reaching underneath Diana and reminding of her own owned those breasts, it made Diana feel really good.

Clark groaned at the very familiar tightness of the Amazon. His cock received a full squeezing, and his balls throbbed. He ran his hands over Diana and worshipped her body. Every touch brought fresh, new moans from Diana. Clark pushed deeper inside of Diana, and punished her with more rapid fire thrusts. His balls slapped Diana hard in the thigh when he pushed into her and slid almost all the way out of her.

"So, close," Clark grunted.

Diana agreed, she could not wait much longer. Her muscles flexed around Clark. Clark, not wanting to go down without a fight, relaxed his thrusts to slow call.

"Ah, she's whimpering," Shayera said. "She wants your cock so bad, Kal-El."

Clark intended to give Diana more than what she bargained for, after a moment. For now, Clark pummeled Diana's warm pussy and slammed his hard cock inside of her body. The Amazon stretched out and pulled Clark in. The very pleasurable warmth sucked him in.

"Yes!" Shayera moaned.

Diana took out her frustration on Clark denying her his cum by eating Shayera out. The slurping motions of Diana on Shayera's pussy encouraged Clark to push inside of her a little bit more. Clark's big balls slapped against Shayera and worked a steady path inside of her.

So close, Clark could almost feel it. His balls grew even more throbbing. Clark touched every inch of Diana's body, and made sure to allow her to cum first. His balls begged for release and Diana's warm pussy tried to drain him.

The Man of Steel released his latest load into Diana's warm pussy. The Amazon flexed her walls around Clark's hard cock.

"It's always so good," Clark breathed.

Clark emptied his balls deep inside of her. He could feel Diana tense up and milk him of every single last drop of cum he had. The Kryptonian pushed himself to the brink and continued to empty inside of her.

The moment he pulled away, both Warrior Women gave him a look which indicated they were not done playing, not tonight.

Queen Maxima of Almarac found herself bored, which as many would attest from experience, did not suit the woman very well. She tucked a hand underneath her chin and frowned. Just one hour ago, her latest suit had to be carried out. The man's sense of confidence interested Maxima. Unfortunately, for the Queen, he could not get it done where it counted, on the battlefield.

'I can't very well have a man who can't stand on his own two feet in a fight,' Maxima thought.

The Queen's frustration reached a fever pitch. She had her maids and her servants, all of which made sure some of her needs were taken care of. Maxima thought they were very good at what they did. Unfortunately, their greatness could only stretch so far when Maxima needed, craved, and desired a real man to take her into his arms and make Maxima his. She breathed heavily and longingly at the thought of such a man.

'They don't grow on trees, unfortunately,' Maxima thought to herself, sounding a bit despondent.

"Queen Maxima, you should see this."

One of her aides came in with a crystal in her hand. She nearly tripped. Maxima reached forward and took pity on the poor anxious woman, pulling her up to the ground.

"We might have found the man you're searching for."

Maxima heard this about three times a week. Her servants meant well trying to find her a king, but Maxima's standards reached an obscenely high point to be perfectly honest.

"You say you have?" Maxima asked.

"Yes," the servant said. She took in a deep breath and sighed. "An entire fleet of Thangarians have been stopped by a Kryptonian."

The image of the handsome young man flashed before Maxima. He was gorgeous enough for Maxima to stand up and take notice. The woman's eyes followed the progress of the young man in action, fighting the Thangarians. Brutish hawks, a couple of them came here demanding Maxima's hand. Maxima soundly trashed them in battle.

"Quite a Kryptonian as well," Maxima said.

The Queen licked her succulent lips at the thought of this man being in her bed. She hungered for him, and she imagined him taking her, making her his wife, and bedding her, until she could hardly stand. The coitus would be out of this world.

Naturally, Maxima got her hopes up before and they had been destroyed. This Kryptonian, this god among men, would have to prove himself to her. Maxima made arrangements to head to Earth to see what if he was really the man of her dreams, or someone who would just disappoint her like all other suitors had.

Chapter Seventy-One: The Dust Settles

Six long months had passed since Metropolis and the rest of the year had been invaded by the forces from Thangar. Times have changed and the people in this city changed along with it. There had been a cloud of uncertainty regarding the invasion which had many people stop.

"What's to stop another invasion from happening again? Nothing, as long as we keep allowing these aliens into every corner of our lives? We should and will hold pretty much every alien on this planet accountable for their actions."

A series of newscasts speculating on what it meant to have aliens at their doorstep broadcasted over the last couple of months. The more this became the hot topic issue, many people jumped on. The flames of the fears of the people had been grabbed by media personalities or social commentators. It was hard to call them newscasters because they seldom reported on any actual news. They made the news and used fear mongering.

It became a sad truth that very few people actually reported on news these days. They seemed more comfortable in being a talking head who broadcasted their biases for the entire world to see. They put their own slant on things.

"Yeah, the aliens are taking money out of my own bank account."

A small group of heavily armed men crowded around the back of a storage facility in one of the most rundown parts of Metropolis. One of these gentlemen started to tap his finger.

"Only because Superman stopped you from making off with that armored truck about three months ago," one of the thugs said to the man who talked.

The gruff thug slapped one fist against the other to make a resounding and loud sound. "Exactly my point. That money could have been in my bank account. Instead, he swoops in like some do-gooder. What the hell is he doing?"

"Seems to me like he's trying to stop you from robbing a bank?"

One armored henchman sighed, these goons really did not get it. Still, he wasn't going to get got by Superman ever again, not if he helped it. He now had an entire crew of people. Superman had his allies to work with, well Joe Thompson might not have been well known as Superman. However, he had his friends, running with one of the most well-connected mafia outfits in the city, that being Intergang.

Intergang, it was a group that would be feared all down the eastern seaboard. He could hardly wait to help pull off this heist.

"Hey, Joey could use a bit of a hand over here!"

Joe snapped out of the statement and walked over. They were going to break down the doors and get into his place. Giddiness did not even begin to describe what he felt.

"Alright, don't get too excited," the leader of the crew said. "The boss wants us to break into that vault and get whatever they have inside."

"So what's inside?"

The leader of the crew tried to remain calm, but to be honest, it was kind of hard. Especially when he was the type who did not like having questions asked. "Think of it like Christmas. You never know what's inside."

The doors rattled open. The man playing lookout held a rocket launcher over his shoulder and moved from one side to the next. A sound of something approaching caused the man to jump almost halfway up into the air. The rocket launcher cracked in his hand.

"Look up in the sky," he said. "Something's coming."

The leader of the gang looked up and moved into the back of the truck. He pulled out a huge rocket launcher and put it over his arms.

One of the goons tripped a silent alarm at the vault, and halfway from across town, Clark heard it. He quickly got into uniform as Superman and flew at the speed of light. Following him was Karen, and the two Kryptonians came across a small group of gentlemen. Two of them looked heavily armed.

"Intergang again?" Karen asked.

"Yes, I'm afraid so," Clark said with a groan

Faster than a speeding bullet, Superman dove in. An energy cannon cut through the air towards Superman. It looked it packed a punch. Providing, of course, that Superman was in the line of fire when the cannon went off, which he was not. He spun around and nailed the cannon with the full force of a punch.

Power Girl plucked the two Intergang goons off of the ground and hurled them up into the air and over her shoulder. They were pretty good all things considered, but she was also pretty good herself. Power Girl dropped down onto the ground in front of them. These goons pulled their weapons to fire at Power Girl. She blocked the attack and knocked them over to the ground.

Clark prevented the truck from being driven off.

"Oh, no, not again!" Joey yelled. "Hey, Supes, long time no see, man!"

Clark pulled out the thug out of the truck. In no time, the latest Intergang heist had gone off the rails, despite the fact that they all knew there would be many more heists to deal with.

"And here comes the SCU," Karen said. "Looks like they can handle it from here."

"You'll pay for this, Superman!" one of the goons yelled. "A new day is coming, and you're going to be sorry! Humans will rise up and put down the alien menace!"

It's not like either Kryptonian did not hear the same statement before.

Chloe parked herself in front of the computer at the Fortress. Indigo, Raya, and Astra helped rig this one up and explained to Chloe how it worked. It was hard due to the primitive nature of Earth's satellites compared to the communication relays used by other planets.

Somehow, they found a way to make it work. Chloe pressed a couple of buttons and she heard a sound. It reminded her of the dark days where you had to go on dial-up to get on the Internet. The slow way everything ground to a halt while waiting for the website to load.

She was going through several different galaxies. And if there was any storm, it could be a problem. Chloe took out her cell phone to check something while waiting for the system to go up.

"Hey, Chloe!"

Chloe slipped the cell phone bag into her bag at the sight of Lois popping over the screen. Chloe responded with a smile the second Lois turned up.

"So, it works?" Chloe asked. "The Interstellar Communication thing works?"

"I can barely hear you," Lois said.

Chloe frowned and decided to adjust the volume controls. This was like dealing with a badly functioning cell phone, hard to configure. Chloe was pretty sure she found a way to amplify the sound just enough to make out what Lois is saying.

"Can you hear me now?" Chloe asked.

"Loud and clear," Lois said. "Your picture is a little bit fuzzy, but I can make out most of you. It's good to see you again….I'm just glad we were able to find a way to do this on my day off."

"Your training is almost done, I thought," Chloe said.

"Yeah, well, kind of," Lois responded with a very slight and very evident little shrug. "I mean, I guess you could say my training is done if you look at things from a certain angle. They're going to let me go on missions, and I'm assigned to protect Sector 2814, which is just Earth. It used to be Mars and a couple of other planets. Don't think it was Uranus."

"I can't believe you went there," Chloe said.

"Well, I've been to….actually I can't believe I almost made that joke."

Lois responded with a shake of her head. She would be honest, it was really bad form to make a joke that crass and one that flew over the head of the aliens she made it to the first time about six months ago.

"My training is almost done, I just got to run one or two more assessments," Lois responded. "And it's not going to be easy. I'm the Earth girl who somehow backdoored her way into getting a Green Lantern ring. I'm not exactly Miss Popularity here to be perfectly honest."

"Well, if anyone is stubborn enough to prove them wrong, it's you?"

The words had been taken out of Chloe's mouth by a third party. Lois answered with a smile as Clark stepped in. It was hard to make him out until he got close to the screen.

"Hey, Smallville," Lois said. "You haven't been getting into loads of trouble without me to pull you out of the fire, have you?"

"Very funny, Lois," Clark said. "And no, I've been staying out of trouble. I just hope the same thing is happening to you."

Lois gave a very obvious "who me?" type look on her face. Clark laughed at the look on her face, it was pretty priceless.

"I think you might be mistaking me for someone else," Lois said. "Because you know me, I never get into trouble."

Clark gave her an insightful look and smile. "I must be thinking of that other brunette woman named Lois Lane that I know. Sorry, for the confusion."

"Just don't let it happen again," Lois teased. "So, how have things been going on Earth? The Guardians finally decided to send for aid past the point of it doing any good."

A grimace spread across Clark's face. Some of the things Astra said about the Guardians should really not be repeated in polite company. Not that Lois could be polite company, especially when she was going.

"Well, there are people who are….well if they got their way, they would crucify all aliens," Chloe said. "The worst is the Godfrey Twins."

The normally reserved Clark looked rather sick at hearing those two. They were social commentators at the very worst, and unfortunately, many people hung on every word they said like it was the gospel truth, facts and reality be damned.

"They've really stepped it up," Chloe continued. "Which is really funny, they seem to be mostly united on this issue that aliens are a bad thing. Despite Gordon being the worst of the extreme right and Grace is the most annoying of the extreme left."

"Oh, politics," Lois grumbled. "I've heard Grace talk about women's issues before. And she's the type of person any woman with sanity would not listen to and would not want to speak on their behalf. I don't need a Feminazinutjob like her to speak on my behalf. I know for me at least. People like her think that women are children who should be coddled and how the evil men are…."

Lois's rant would have gone on, but she heard someone yelling at her.

"And time to go," Lois said. "I'll be back soon…we should do lunch sometime…take care of yourself, Smallville. You too, Chloe."

When you talked about a new technological achievement, the people were out in full force. The three women who walked up behind the curtain gave more press conferences than any of them cared to remember. Tess Mercer, Thea Queen, and Helena Wayne all stood around. Thea looked at the crowd which assembled and let out a very prominent sounding whistle before pulling herself back to talk to the rest of them.

"It never gets old, does it?" Thea asked. "I mean all of these people coming out to hear about the newest achievements. I think there are reporters from Gotham, Metropolis, and Starling City."

Helena just gave the younger girl a smile. "It's fitting given the cities the three of us represent."

"Yeah, it is," Thea agreed. "Still it has a chance to be bigger than anything else we've done. If we can do it right, that is….we're going to do it right."

Tess put a hand on Thea's shoulder and smiled at her. "Relax, kid. We're going to do it right…it's a shame Patricia could not be with us today."

"She said she would try and make it, but something came up," Helena said.

All of them nodded in response. They understood how busy Patricia got, especially in the six months following the invasion of the Thangarians. She worked with the DEO to try and make sure every piece of alien technology had been found. They had a catalog of what those bits of alien technology the Thangarians left behind were for.

Six long months passed, six long months where pretty much everything changed in many ways, both for better and for worse as well. Tess especially was looking over her shoulder. Cadmus remained a potentially dangerous threat, as always. They had knowledge which could harm many despite their belief they were working towards a greater good.

The greater good, those three words always had been given by extremists who tried to justify their actions. No matter what Lionel did, and he committed a lot of crimes, nothing excused Lillian's actions. The marriage left her broken, but deep down, there was something in there always, just begging to come out.

"Are you ready?" Helena asked.

Tess nodded in response. Thea gave her a raised eyebrow.

"Just thinking," Tess said. "When I'm out on that stage, I'm going to be professional. I'll lead, and the two of you jump in as soon as possible."

Helena did not let go without another word. "Are you sure that you can handle being out there tonight?"

"I'm positive," Tess said. "We better go. You know how the press is about waiting when they want to know something."

The curtains parted to allow Tess to go onto the stage. She received a decent reaction from the people watching from the stage, although the reaction only paled in comparison to the one given to Thea and Helena. You would think a pair of rock stars came out onto the stage from how the crowd cheered.

Tess allowed for the applause to die down. She knew these people would rest in the palm of her hand from a simple gesture.

"Thank you all for coming out today," Tess said. "My name, for those of you who are more interested in seeing Ms. Wayne or Ms. Queen, is Tess Mercer. I am the current CEO of LuthorCorp."

They all stood back and smiled. They were a very respectful crowd, all things considered, something which Tess appreciated to be perfectly honest.

"Some people talk about how the future is coming around the corner," Tess said. "I disagree with this assessment. The future is not coming around the corner. Today is yesterday's future and we need to move on. We need to stand together with the new challenges coming into this world. And we need to communicate with each other. Communication is the barrier to understanding."

This statement sounded like corporate doublespeak to the most cynical of people. Tess thought these cynics would and could have a point. Still, they were words that she strongly believed it.

"Queen Industries, Wayne Industries, and LuthorCorp have teamed up to put their resources together for a state of the art satellite network, and a new line of cell phones and other communication devices," Tess said. "We hope to build a stronger Internet as well, a more secure web where some of the threats that many people are not certain of will be a nonentity."

Tess put up a hand to interrupt.

"This will also help detect incoming threats to the world before they even come out," Tess said.

"And can it be used to spy on people?"

Tess sighed at the very obvious, but at the same time very frustrating question. She looked at the party who asked it with a smile.

"Unfortunately, good technology can always be co-opted for evil purposes."

Almost on cue, something blipped on the system. Tess turned around, not expecting anything to be picked up by the satellites.

Some pod headed straight for Metropolis.

Clark Kent returned from making his rounds in the Fortress. He also had been making his rounds. There had been a lot of unrest following the Thangarian Invasion. Clark could not say he was very comfortable with the amount of unrest going on, to be perfectly blunt about the situation.

The United Nations fiercely debated about what to do with the upcoming crisis. Clark did not expect anything to come of it. The world leaders had trouble coming to terms what to order for lunch, much less have any foreign policy. Still, the future was going to be very interesting and very uncertain the longer they lingered.

"No one can quite figure out the scope of the aliens who decided to make Earth their home. Whether they have come here for reasons fair or foul, the fact none of the major world leaders can account for the numbers. Many of them are able to blend into their communities, live their lives, and maybe even ascend to positions of power through carefully manipulated documents."

Clark extended his head down for a few seconds and sighed. It was true that many lived as human beings, but it was just so they can find a new home after what they lost. Martians, Kryptonians, they all lost world. And some, like Shayera, would never be welcomed back under any circumstances to where she was. She would always be different, but she would not be welcomed.

'There are no easy answers.'

The scroll about Congress having their debate on alien registration made Clark straighten up a little bit. He hoped they would not try anything like that because history showed trying to segregate one group of people from the rest of the population seldom ended well.

The aliens who found Earth to be their new home had their share of supporters. One of them had been a recently elected Kansas State Senator who was near and dear to Clark's heart. Still, there were others who would decide to throw aliens out to the wolves no matter what the cause.

"It's a mess."

Raya stepped into the Fortress to walk the television screen. She moved in dressed in white material which clung to every inch of her body.

"Yes, unfortunately," Clark said. "Politics is a dirty business."

"Always, it tends to be no matter what the world," Raya confirmed. "These debates remind me of those who went on, on Krypton, and they seldom get anything done."

Mostly because these debates were just a bunch of old men who did not have their pulse on the real world shouting back and forth at each other. Nothing ever had been accomplished by that particular level of bickering and infighting. Raya sighed.

'The more things change, the more they say the same.'

"Congress is making some noise about registration," Clark said. "Forcing aliens to register their movements with the government."

"This never ends well," Raya said. "And if some of the rumors, the legends are true, where do they draw the line? Humanity, as we know it today, may have originated from other alien species who visited this planet."

"I know, it's silly when you think about it," Clark said. "It's just a bunch of overexcited people screaming, asking for someone to please think of the children."

Raya took a glimpse of the world's greatest hope and sighed. She reached in and cupped her hand on Clark's face so the two could look at each other properly.

"Not really an Earth problem," Raya said. "It's more of a problem with many worlds. It becomes a purity test and…well, it's the beginning of the end. I just hope the people come to their senses before it's too late before others take advantage of their fear to satisfy their own greed. This is how people end up being divided and worlds become lost."

Clark sighed, it was already beginning.

"Maybe you should come with me," Raya said. "You're tense, and I should help you with that tension. It's my duty, after all, to make sure you're happy."

The Last Son of Krypton followed Raya who beckoned him to her bedchambers. Raya shrugged off her clothes with a bright smile on her face. She looked at Clark, hungrily licking her lips when he approached.

"Why don't you get out of those clothes?" Raya asked. "Or maybe I can help you, Kal?"

Raya unwrapped the clothes off of Kal's muscular body with a smile on her face. She leaned in and kissed Clark on the lips. Clark returned the kiss, with Clark running his hand down her back. He touched her body and received some moans from Raya.

The beautiful alien decided to continue to kiss down Clark's neck. She sucked on the side of his neck and kept kissing away at him. Every time her mouth touched him, Raya's excitement just built to an increasing fever pitch. She accelerated her actions to drop down to the ground on her knees.

Clark's big cock stuck out with Raya wrapping both of her hands on it. She jerked Clark off until her lips touched it.

"Use that mouth," Clark said.

Raya slipped her lips around Clark's throbbing hard cock without another word and inhaled his manhood with a deep and masterful blowjob. She bobbed her head up and down on Clark's cock a few times. The moment she finished, she pulled out. Raya utilized her warm and willing tongue around the edge of Clark's mighty rod. She slowly licked Clark's hard rod from the base down to the twitching tip.

Warm heaven surrounded Clark's rod after Raya licked it. Her hands cradling his balls increased the pleasure. Clark gripped her head and looked down to see Raya shoving her mouth down onto him. He watched her push as much of his cock down her throat as possible.

Pleasure, Clark groaned when Raya took his cock into her mouth and sucked him as hard as possible. She gripped onto his balls and gave them a firm squeeze. Clark slid his manhood inside of her very willing mouth. Raya smacked her lips around his cock as hard as possible.

Suddenly, Raya pulled herself up onto the bed. She dropped down, the sheets rising up and falling as her beautiful body landed spread-eagled. A lock of blonde hair curled on her face.

Clark moved down to meet the sultry woman on the bed. He planted his mouth down several inches of her body. Raya's nipples poked up for attention. Clark reached down and took the rosy wonder into his mouth. Raya gasped when Clark sucked her warm and very erect nipple.

The more Clark brought his mouth to her chest, the more Raya lost sense of her inhibitions. Clark reached behind her legs to rub her pussy. The moist heat coming from it made Clark feel so enraptured by her. He needed to be inside of her and in the worst possible way.

"Kal-El, take me," Raya begged him.

Clark worked his cock in towards her dripping wet pussy. The blonde shifted herself off of the bed, putting her legs around Clark's waist. He aimed his manhood at her entrance and drove himself inside of her. Raya closed her eyes and rose her hips all the way up off of the bed. Clark rose up and dropped down into her with a massive thrust. He slipped inside of her.

The moment every inch of Kal-El's breeding rod pushed into her, Raya pushed up and down off of the bed. Clark plowed into her tight sheath and rose up before slamming his rod down into her. Raya shifted her hips almost halfway up off of the bed to meet Clark. Her entire body was being taken on a never-ending thrill ride. The roller coaster of being risen up and dropped down made Raya's desire just increase.

"Look at you," Clark said. "Look at how much you're cumming for me!"

Clark touched Raya and made her squirm underneath him on the sheets. A second passed with Clark sliding himself out of Raya. She had whined about the loss of his manhood. Her pussy tried to push up, but Clark held her down.

Then he speared into the woman made to serve him. Raya took the tension off with her warm pussy tightening around his thick rod. She breathed in, pushing her nails all over Clark's back.

Each thrust buried into Raya. The tension inside of her loins had been released. Juices squirted all over Clark, which made the second round even more easy to get into her. He did not want to make Raya lose it too soon the next time. Clark wished to drag out the torment and made her feel this inside of her in every way.

"Kal-El!" Raya cried at the top of her lungs.

Clark plunged inside of her slick center. The feeling of warm walls sticking to him was very good. He plunged inside of Raya and took his huge cock inside of her very willing and extremely accommodating depths. Clark pulled almost all the way out of her and plunged himself inside of her with repeated thrusts.

"Oh, you're too much, Raya," Clark breathed. "You're going to make me explode."

"Yes, that's what I'm here for," Raya said. "Please!"

She came up and her words stopped with a moan. Clark slammed his rod inside of her again. She never once spoke in anything throughout this entire round other than delicious and delirious whimpering.

The stiff prick shoved deep inside of Raya's inviting womanhood. Raya lifted her hips up off of the bed and rolled them to meet Clark. She matched his intrusions very nicely. The delicious blonde underneath Clark's thrusts started to whimper and moan the deeper he buried inside of her body.

"You're so nice," Clark said. "And it feels so nice to have you cum. Do you enjoy this as well, Raya?"

Raya nodded in response. His skilled hands brought her body to receive pleasures which were sinful. She almost thought it was a bit much to have this much pleasure without any permission. Clark, Kal, he did not seem to deny her the pleasure so Raya kept shifting her warm thighs up and down to meet his intruding staff. He stretched her loins completely out with Raya incasing inside of her.

He gave her enough of a break to come back down to Earth. The devotion dancing in Raya's eyes was stunning. The moment her body begged for it, Clark planted his aching rod back inside of Raya. He thrust his way inside of her with repeated jabs. His massive rod pushed inside of Raya's heated center.

"Let go," Clark whispered in her ear. "Just give in to it. Give in to your desires. Give into your pleasure."

Raya did so and Clark plunged his rod inside of her. He touched all of the right spots which took her on a sexual thrill ride. Every single height had a fall with Clark burying his staff inside of Raya's gripping loins. She held onto him, panting heavily and hungrily the deeper Clark plunged inside of her.

"YES!" Raya moaned at the top of her lungs. "OH….RAO!"

She screamed the longer Clark buried his cock inside of her body. Her entire body just burned with desire. The only thing which could put out the fire was against her.

"It's going to be my turn soon," Clark said to her.

"Please," Raya begged him. "Please, please, please!"

He decided to draw out Raya's anticipation a little bit. Clark rose up and dropped down inside of Raya with a huge thrust. He fucked her with a force which only Kryptonians and Amazons could handle. Raya shoved her pussy up to meet him. Clark drove his cock down inside of her. The two went at it with each other for a little bit longer.

Finally, Clark reached his limit. Their bodies molded together the instant their shared orgasm reached a fever pitch. Clark spilled the contents from his balls inside of Raya's accepting pussy.

Raya collapsed onto the bed to receive Clark's treat inside of her. Her walls became bathed in the essence of the man she pledged to serve.

The dust settled, and Clark rolled over. He pulled Raya over and allowed her to engage in the mutual sharing of body heat. Every time Clark touched her body, a shiver came down her spine with Clark pulling her closer to him.

"Thanks, Raya."

"It was an honor, Kal-El."

The city of Metropolis had been silent for a very long time. The Special Crimes Unit who kept an eye on some strange and mysterious events had been equal parts surprised and pleased with the lack of incidents. They also were a little bit suspicious, but that came with the territory to be perfectly honest.

Still, it was a nice day where everyone was getting along. There was not a cloud in a sky, the sun shined bright. People got along about as well as they were going to in a city this particular size.

The two members of the Special Crimes Unit who got this beat leaned against the edge of a billboard. They looked around to see a woman rolling her baby in a stroller across the street. A happy young couple crossed the street, and a haggard-looking businessman rushed down the street. He had a briefcase dangling from his hand and started to murmur about how he was going to be pretty late.

"Pretty sweet job we got here," the officer said.

"Don't let Turpin or Sawyer catch you talking about how the job is easy," the second officer warned the first officer. "The last guy who shot his mouth off ended up working Suicide Slum, and that's where the really crazy shit tends to happen."

The younger officer just shrugged. His brown hair parted down the side, slicked back. He always thought it would be exciting to be an officer of the law. Top of the Academy and his special skillset got him a spot in the elite Special Crimes Unit in Metropolis.

"You got to admit this gig is pretty sweet," the officer said a second later. "You just got to kick back and wait for Superman to come and save the day."

The older officer just sighed, Superman, well he was interesting. Here and gone, and very few people saw him, only those who had been close enough to function. The officer thought a man who could fly, well he was one who they would have to keep a close eye on.

'Don't quite know about him,' the older officer said. 'Things used to be never this weird. We never really needed a Special Crimes Unit either until all of these meta-people kept turning up.'

Fighting crime used to be pretty simple. It used to be as simple as tracking down some thug with a gun and forcing him to give up his information. Now, everything had become less simple. And it became even more dangerous as far as the older officer was concerned.

He reached into his pocket and took out a lollipop. Used to be a heavy smoker, but decided to cut back thanks to wanting to be able to spend time with his grandchildren and see him grow up.

"Will?"

The younger office grabbed on the shoulder of the older one, Will, who turned his attention to the flash of bright light in the sky. The lollipop slid out of his mouth and fell down onto the ground in a blink of an eye. The older officer could barely out what happened.

"Well, rookie. Things are going to get more exciting."

Exactly how exciting, he did not know. All he could tell was something arrived in Metropolis. A blinding flash of light appeared and caused the citizens, along with the Special Crimes Unit to step up.

A very tall and very striking looking red-haired woman popped up on the ground in front of her. She was very lovely, with a firm body which was barely uncovered. She wore a green top stretching over her breasts. Her flat toned stomach showed no ounce of fat on it. Then her long legs, with thigh-high boots stuck out in the distance ready to be admired from every single angle.

She was the type of woman which wet-dreams were made of. This gorgeous body could crush anyone who got in her way or seduce them to their doom, depending on her preference. The woman stepped over and surveyed the landscape around her.

"Who the devil is she?" the older officer asked.

"I don't know, but I really would like to get to know her," the younger officer said.

Will turned to his younger partner. "Trust me, kid, you should really lower your standards."

The rookie did not even say anything. His mind had been blown away by this dangerous woman who turned up towards him. Her stunning beauty almost hurt anyone who laid eyes on it. She looked at every single person in front of her.

"My name is Maxima," she said. "And I have arrived because I want to test my Kryptonian Soul Mate to see if I have finally found the one that is worthy of taking my hand in marriage."

A large fellow who resembled your average high school jock who kept being a high school jock long after high school ended stepped up. He was balding, wearing an old Letterman Jacket from his high school, with the stench of tobacco and booze coming off of his pours coming off when he approached him.

"Hey baby, I don't know if you've heard, but if you're looking for someone to show you a good time….."

Maxima lifted the loudmouth of the ground. She could tell his type a mile away. He was nothing and belonged with the other waste. She picked up the man and dropped him in the trash.

The Special Crimes Unit looked at the woman as she effortlessly manhandled the loudmouth. She gave them a very slight smile when approaching them.

"Point me to the one who calls himself Superman."

Chapter Seventy-Two: Perfect Match

Astra stood in the hallways of the DEO facility. She was giving some advice to the various members of the DEO. It had been very hard to believe how much difference a couple of years made for Astra. She had gone from a fugitive to the Phantom Zone, put in for war crimes, to someone who helped a brand new world. She, along with Faora, had given the Kandorians another chance to make a good impression. They all managed to settle into their roles in their new world.

'A year makes a great deal of difference,' Astra commented to herself.

She moved towards the rookie DEO agents. Some of them were wide-eyed and obviously was a bit in over their head. Still, as long as they were willing to work, they had potential.

"Okay, they might be rough around the edges."

Astra turned around to come face to face with Alex Danvers. The two of them locked eyes with each other for a moment. There had always been a bit of tension between the two of them. Daisy stepped around the hallway and looked at her friend and the aunt of her friend's sister. Things could get a little bit tense between the two of them around them.

"Yes," Astra said. "Yes, I see."

"So, don't go too hard on them," Alex said.

"I won't be any firmer on them than I need to be," Astra said.

Something about Astra's tone did not reassurance Alex much if at all. She could not quite put her finger on what it was, it just was very unsettling to her.

"Right," Alex said. "Just….well you've addressed new recruits before. So, I think that you know what you're doing."

Astra held up a single hand in front of Alex's face. Alex took a deep breath when looking at the older woman a few seconds later.

"Calm down," Astra informed her. "I know what I'm doing. It hasn't been the first time I've had to address new recruits. I won't chew them up and spit them out on their first day."

"Well, she knows what she's doing," Daisy said. "Let her talk."

Alex stepped back and kept a careful eye on Astra. She still had a few misgivings. Astra turned around and looked at the new recruits. They all looked up at the woman who surveyed them with a very calm stare.

"Welcome to the Department of Extraordinary Affairs," Astra said. "My name is Astra In-Ze, and I have seen planets die. There has been one common cause which has killed many planets. There have been many planets which have perished due to people being reactive and not proactive. It's essential to be three or four steps ahead of your enemy. Each of you has different backgrounds, different skill sets, and all of you…."

The sounds blared through the DEO headquarters. Astra turned her attention to both Daisy and Alex, and Alex moved over.

"We're going to have to cut this one short," Alex said. "There's an alien on the loose…"

The image of a very tall and statuesque redhead woman flashed in a three-dimensional hologram. Astra's eyes narrowed when looking at her.

"The report said she demanded to see Superman, and she's…well, I'm not sure where she went from there," Daisy commented. "The reporter doesn't really say."

"Bold, brazen, a skilled warrior, and a sense of entitlement to match her skills," Astra said. "She must be from Almarac."

The two women looked at her. Astra's words struck Alex with a moment of morbid curiosity.

"Are there any alien races which you don't have a problem with?" Alex asked.

"Tamarians," Astra said without skipping a beat.

Nothing else other to say, they would have follow up on this point later. Alex and Daisy prepared to suit up and join the rest of the DEO agents. They would have to head to Metropolis and deal with the chaos.

This woman's arrival did not help with the anger people were feeling of aliens in general. Things might end up getting worse before they got better.

Superman appeared on the scene in Metropolis. He just missed the woman showing up, apparently. Everyone looked on in surprise. They were still talking, muttering about her.

"A fierce redhead woman can't be that hard to find," Chloe offered him. "Not even in a city as big as Metropolis."

"Are we just going to trust an alien just because he gives us a big smile and reassuring words? We still don't know who Superman truly is. We don't even know what he is able to do."

The face of G. Gordon Godfrey appeared on the jumbotron for all to hear.

"Earth should be for the Earthlings. And America, with us being the greatest nation and the leader of the free world has a responsibility to its people. The responsibility to lead by example. And we have not lead by any good example by allowing those aliens to walk into our country. They work with us, they live with us, and some of them even lay in bed with us. They poison our minds and steal our secrets. We lose our identities as human beings the further they dig into our lives."

The ranting gentleman continued to escalate his words. Everyone heard Godfrey. Another voice, this time more shrill, belonging to his sister, Grace Godfrey came out.

"And they call him Superman! And that makes me sick to my stomach! He blatantly flaunts his masculinity. And he forces his so-called partners to conform to him. Supergirl will never ascend to a status greater than Superman, thanks to the oppression of the Patriarchy. Every time you celebrate Superman, you celebrate the spirit of oppression. You celebrate holding back a woman from letting her voice be heard. Superman swoops in to save the day, and everyone puts him on a pedestal. He rescues women because he believes we are not strong. He only works with them to hold them back, to oppress them."

Superman's super hearing ached by the ringing voice of Grace Godfrey as it continued to echo over New York. He saw her face, from behind a pair of thick glasses. She had a severe look in her eyes. Maybe she would be attractive, maybe, if she did not have a sour look on her face all of the time. And also, the fact she didn't have an abrasive personality who talked down to everyone around her, that helped as well.

"Rest assure, I will not stop until Superman learns that he cannot continue to promote his toxic values and hurt women. You should open your eyes, listen and learn and realize how much Superman is causing problems. He flaunts himself around…."

Clark was very glad to have heard the sound of a cop car whirling down the streets of Metropolis which cut off Grace. She would always be within earshot, thanks to the unfortunate gift of super hearing. Clark moved about as far away from her as humanly possible.

"Sorry you have to hear all of that," Chloe said. "Well, from both of them. It has to be grating to listen to them."

Clark would have to agree.

"They have the right to say what they want to say," Clark said. "No matter how ignorant it might sound, no matter how uninformed it might be, no matter how divorced it is from reality, they have the right to say what they want to say and feel what they want to feel."

A long sigh came out from Chloe. Clark kept his eyes peeled and continued the search for their mysterious visitor. Every second he waited was a second longer she would be out there.

"Yes, that's what Freedom of Speech does," Chloe said. "It helps protect the righteous along with the ignorant."

"Yes," Clark agreed. "I just hope other people are open-minded enough to make their own choices and not blindly be led by sound-bytes."

"Keep hoping, Clark," Chloe said. "Right, I think she's slipped away when you did not show up. She isn't one to play a patient game by the looks of things."

Clark noticed someone who might have been able to help. The Man of Steel walked over to an attractive dark-haired police officer looking up at the jumbotron.

"True women can open their eyes and understand what kind of danger Superman poses to impressionable young women and girls. He has forced his female companion Supergirl to dress in a mini-skirt when she fights crime. It's quite disgusting."

The face of the detective turned into a very frustrated look. A hand placed on her shoulder caused her to jump a little bit. She stopped and realized she came face to face with Superman.

"You're not a fan?" Superman asked.

"No," she said. "Godfrey doesn't speak for all women, no more than her brother speaks for all humans."

Clark smiled at her, and she steps back to get a better look at him.

"We haven't had a chance to formally talk," she said. "Detective Maggie Sawyer at your service…and before you got sidetracked, I think you were looking for the mysterious woman. Because I think she's been looking for you."

"I figured about as much," Clark said. "I'm going to try and lure her away from Metropolis."

"That shouldn't be too difficult," Maggie said. "The way she was talking, she sounded pretty obsessed with you. Just not obsessed enough to stay around in one place for too long."

This woman was not a very patient one. Clark could potentially use it to this advantage if he played his cards right. He would have to see how things worked out.

"We're going to clear the area," Maggie said. "Turpin and I, and the rest, we'll keep civilians out of harm's way the best we can. You just got to get her out of here."

"I will."

Clark now focused one hundred percent on this mysterious visitor from another world. He would need to find her before it was too late.

Three gentlemen crowded around the doorway. The leader of the crew motioned for the others to step back. He took in a deep breath. The men kept stepping closer towards him until the man scared them off with a snarl.

"Hey, give me some room!"

The man reached out and tried to grab onto the lock with a crowbar. He pushed the crowbar into the hole and strained against it. The side door refused to budge. The thug opted to instead kick at the door and all that caused with a sore toe in response.

"Yeah, that will really show it who's boss."

The thug turned around with a hateful glare flashing in his eyes. The thugs did not even bat an eyelash with their leader glaring back at them so hatefully. They just remained as calm as humanly possible, even though there could be some problems in the not so distant future.

"So, how the hell do we get in?" the thug asked.

"If you ask me, it's getting harder to get into places," the leader of the pack said. "This is a huge mess. Every time we try and break into a door, something happens to stop us. I'm pretty surprised that Superman has not swooped in and stopped us already."

The sound of someone dropping down on the rooftop right next to them caused all three of the thugs to jump up. The other two thugs spun to glare at the thug who had just said something.

"You just had to go and open up your big mouth, didn't you?"

The thug in question answered with a casual shrug. He dared chance a look to the rooftop. He came face to face with the opposite of Superman. Rather, it was a very stunning redhead woman dressed to kill, and potentially literally as well judging by the look on the face.

"Who the hell is she?"

One of the men looked on with a smile and slicked his hair back which somewhat disgusted his fellow gang members.

"I don't know, but I'd really like to find out if you know what I mean."

The other two criminals rolled their eyes on the antics of the third. One of the criminals reached forward and waffled the other one down across the back of the head.

"Yeah, dipstick, you really don't have a chance with a classy woman like her."

The woman dropped down into the alleyway. Her eyes narrowed when looking around. The three men in front of her entered the woman's crosshairs. Seconds passed before she decided to speak to them.

"Can any of you vagrants tell me where Superman is?"

"Hey, I don't know about Superman, but the ladies say I can be pretty super," one of the criminals said.

"You know, I don't remember any ladies ever saying that about you," another thug said. "Didn't your old lady leave you because she said she needed a microscope to….."

"Shut it, Leroy!" the thug snapped.

Maxima grabbed the thug and lifted him up off of the ground. The thug found himself face to chest with the woman in front of him. Normally he would have been excited to be up close and personal with such a treasure. This time, he was beyond scared to death and shaking madly as the woman held him up.

"I'm going to ask you one question," she said. "And I'm going to need an answer immediately. How do you get in touch with Superman?"

"Well, he's always around when some poor idiot is put in danger," the thug in Maxima's grip managed. "Oh, and I'm sorry if I offended you, please don't crush me."

"On the contrary, you didn't offend me. You helped me."

This caused the criminal to experience a sense of relief. Maybe, he was not about to get crushed like a bug underneath a windshield. However, the look relief turned into one of abject fear.

This woman was looking over at the man. She had a more wicked look on her face than his ex-wife did after she got half of everything he owned. Which admittedly, it was not that much.

Maxima lifted up at the sky. The other men dropped and run leaving their partner in crime to his own fate. The man in question struggled against Maxima's grip. He could feel her hand tightening harder.

She hurled the man down to the ground from a surprising height. The man came close to hurling down to the ground until someone saved him.

Maxima stepped back, a smile on her face. She would have her future husband right where she wanted him. Maxima could hardly wait. She moved back to the alleyway and watched as two men moved into a car. One of them had broken the window open.

They did not get too far before Maxima flipped the car over. One of the lowest forms of creatures in the universe was a petty thief and these two were the pettiest of all thieves.

Maggie studied a couple more sightings of the mysterious visitor. The tones of Grace Godfrey drowned out even her brother. Maggie learned to block it out and focus on her job. It could have been a challenge for her to be honest. But, it was one that Maggie was willing to take despite the throbbing going through her temples.

"These Superman protestors are getting out of hand."

The gruff and grumbling voice brought Maggie out of her thoughts. A rough-faced cough with greying hair made his way over. The man gave the impression of someone who had been through a few scraps over his time. The sounds of screams caused his fingers to clutch together.

"I know they are," Maggie said. "I know they are. They are…we're going to have to do something about this."

"Superman is not our hero! He does not represent us. Go home, Superman!"

Maggie had no idea which Godfrey they protested to be perfectly honest. When the supporters of both of them collided, it was going to get ugly, in the worst possible way. Maggie threw her head back and responded with a sigh in response. She put her ear to the radio.

"Yes, yes," Maggie said. "Get the others ready. We're going to have to clear this area quickly!"

Turpin raised an eyebrow at this news. "So, wait a minute? Are you telling me that we're going to…."

"If they don't back off at the warning shots, The Captain has given the order to release the tear gas."

One of the anti-Superman protestors broke free and tackled a child of about eleven to twelve years old from the crowd. Maggie moved over, but Turpin was already over there.

"Hey, hands off the kid, scumbag!" Turpin yelled.

"Fry the pigs!" one of them yelled. "They support Superman."

"The only good cop is a dead cop!"

One of them held a stun gun and threatened Turpin with it. Turpin reached for the gun and prepared to defend himself if it was necessary. More members of the Major Crimes Unit moved in. The men circled around and put a barricade. One of the protestors swung a glass bottle.

"Everyone get out of here!" Maggie yelled. "It's your last warning! This street is being blocked off!"

Many of the civilians backed off, but a few of the protestors rose up.

"You can't do this!" a woman yelled. "Our voice should be heard."

"I don't care about hearing your voice, I care about you standing in the street and being a public nuisance," Maggie said in a very patient voice. "No one will hear your voice if you end up getting trampled."

The women started to scream at each other. One of the moved in, but they had been wrestled down to the ground. The two members of the MCU cleared the area. Several more figures came out. A dark-haired woman escorts them in, with a weapon pointing out of here.

"This area is condemned on the orders of the United States President," the woman ordered them. "Clear the area. Clear out of here now!"

They moved in and Maggie turned to the woman in question. She took a deep breath as canisters flew into the cloud. A thick layer of gas backed off the protestors.

"It's harmless," she said. "Special Agent Alex Danvers of the DEO and this is my partner, Daisy Johnson."

"Detective Maggie Sawyer," Maggie commented. "And thanks for helping clear out the crowd. Hopefully, you have a lot better luck than I have in tracking down the alien."

A loud scream cut through the entire air. This little meeting had been cut short. The members of the DEO moved to an alleyway, where a shell-shocked thug was shaking down on the ground. His breathing escalated when he looked forward at them.

"Please, arrest me. Take me in!"

Chaos followed this woman who turned up in Metropolis. Clark realized that he needed to locate her and do it soon before she caused some real damage. He noticed an overturned car on the ground. Two men pinned down against the car and winced in absolute pain.

Moving closer, Clark noticed the striking red-haired woman dressed in battle armor. Despite the armor, she had an amazing body which even caused Clark to stop and stare at her. Every single curve looked far more abundant than the last and it was a very distracting thing to come to her in this particular light.

"You should learn a valuable lesson from this," Maxima said. "Those who take what does not belong to them will suffer the consequences."

"Oh, my neck!" the man in the car groaned.

Clark moved over and flipped the car over. The carjackers looked very relieved to see the man in question.

"Superman!" one of them yelled. "I never thought that I would say this, but I'm really glad to see you."

"I am as well."

Clark turned his attention after the thugs moved into the waiting arms of the Major Crimes Unit. They took their medicine without any complains whatsoever. Clark turned his attention completely towards Maxima. The woman was beautiful and likely very dangerous as well.

The Last Son of Krypton resolved to keep his wits about himself. Maxima looked like she unraveled him with her eyes. A smile crossed over the face of the woman in front of him.

"You are more amazing than advertised," Maxima said. "You are the man who stopped the entire Thangarian invasion. And you have presented a beacon of hope to this otherwise desolate and bleak world."

Clark did not say anything. He just remained calm when looking back at Maxima. Her arms folded underneath her chest when staring down at Clark. It brought her breasts out to a great degree of prominence when shifting and moving. Clark tried to keep his eyes focused on her face. It was still beautiful, but less distracting.

"You've caused a lot of chaos….."

"Maxima," she said helpfully. "Queen Maxima, of the Planet Almearac. I have searched the universe far and wide for a man who is worthy of my affections. And after I have heard of your prowess, I have decided that you are the man."

Already, based on her words, Clark figured there was some kind of trouble. The Kryptonian kept his eyes on the woman. Dangerous proved to be a pretty good description for this particular woman. Clark would have to remain guarded and prepare to fight her.

"I have chosen you to fight for my hand," Maxima said.

"And who am I fighting against?" Clark asked.

"Only a Queen can properly declare the worthiness of a man," Maxima said. "I fight my own battles. Those who dare try and fight another for my hand end up getting humiliated."

Clark figured he was she was a fierce warrior. And had fought may and had been disappointed by the competition so far. Clark figured a battle between the two of them would cause untold property damage in Metropolis which was why he had to think quickly to find a way around it.

"You want me, to fight you?" Clark asked.

"Yes, my love," Maxima said. "I know you will offer a stimulating challenge. And maybe, you will be the man to finally be able to take me."

So many ways that statement could be taken, but Clark just kept calm and collected. He was not going to allow Maxima to dictate the terms of this battle. He already was figuring out a plan. Clark reached into his earpiece and sent a coded signal before looking back at her.

"I hope you are a worthy opponent as I suspect you were," Maxima said. "I must warn you, my beloved, I will not hold back. If I find I was mistaken, and you are not worthy then I will not hesitate to give the same fate to others who have fought for the honor of marrying me."

The implication of the fate of those men, and maybe women, who tried to fight for Maxima's hand reared its ugly head. Clark stared down at her.

"I do hope that you win," Maxima continued. "But, rest assure I will not go easy on you just because you are easy on the eyes. I demand nothing other than the best. I demand a strong husband who is able to take me down."

"Well, that's an interesting challenge," Clark said.

"And one that I know you'll accept," Maxima said. "I know what you are thinking, Superman. I can see it in your eyes. You don't want to let down your adopted homeworld. You will have to fight me."

Maxima waited for the official word to accept the challenge. One constant through the universe was no man would dare turn down the challenge to face her. Many of them had been crushed underneath Maxima's feet because they were too proud to turn down the battle.

"If you want a fight, then you're going to have to earn it."

Maxima's mouth hung open at his words. He…he did not really understand, did he? He did not understand the rules of her game, did he? Maxima's prepared to protest.

"Chase me."

In a blink of an eye, Superman zipped off as far away from her. Maxima realized she had been challenged. She followed him.

The plan worked so far, Maxima would refuse to turn down a challenge. And Clark picked up speed when she moved after him. She made pretty good time. Clark almost let her catch him before picking up the speed and moving her past Metropolis and then past civilization.
