Clash of Realms
CHP14: Rampant Vampire Blood

On her side and in bed Audrey listened as her mother finished the last few lines of the story before closing the book and setting it back over the shelf, as Morrigan then returned to her bedside and lifted the blankets up and over the child.
"Time to go to sleep now, my love. Mommy must return to the human world now and finish some things, but I shall return soon. The appropriate changes have been made in the regulation book and you'll no longer have control over anything until you become of age. I want you to be on your best behavior while I'm away this time, try not to give Lucien and Mudo trouble."
"That's lame," Audrey griped with her head lowered over the pillow. "I wanna be queen."
The child succubus pouted while Morrigan laughed at the loveable expression.
"When will I get to meet them mother? My father, brother and sister... I want to get to know them, especially dad!" the succubus halfway jumped up, but Morrigan settled her back in.
"Soon my angel, soon," Morrigan smiled at Audrey, leaning down and kissing at her forehead.
With that Morrigan took off and waved at her daughter one final time before disappearing through the door.
Elsewhere and inside the watchtower monitor room that the four met, discussing the fallout of the meeting. The first was Superman, followed by Green Lantern (Simon Baz), the Flash and lastly Aquaman.
"So I've heard you and Victor went to meet with this monster emperor," the Flash directed at Superman. "Why does it seem like I'm the only one that hasn't met this guy. Our very way of operating criticized, his attempted eradication of Batman who is now a vampire, his short fight with you... boy have I missed out on a lot."
"You aren't the only one," Aquaman chimed in. "I have yet to meet this man, but I've heard things in the south pacific. Gossip from mermen and mermaids who've ventured that realm."
Flash looked to Arthur with interest as he crossed his arms.
"And what have you heard?"
"Nothing really specific, but I do however recall something about his vision and fight to bring all monsters together regardless of their dissimilarities and political views. He is mostly celebrated with an approval rating just over seventy percent, so there's that."
"And what about you two, you've seen and talked with him so what's your analysis?"
This very question was directed at both Simon and Kal as neither gave an immediate answer. The lantern was the first to speak, letting out a sigh as his shoulders lowered.
"Maybe I'm in the lesser majority, but right now I really don't know what to think. It sounds like he's done good and strives to do more, but from a personal standpoint I'm indifferent. I don't hate the guy but I'm not jumping up to throw a parade for him either."
Beside him and taking a deep breath was Superman, having an entirely different outlook on the matter.
"While we might have our differences and ways of doing things, he shares our very dream even if he isn't for how we go about doing it. The meeting between Apollo, Cyborg and myself went about as well as it could. We shared what we knew about the mystic pieces and unknown yokai gathering them and he revealed to us what they are and the purpose of them."
"Which is?" the Flash questioned.
"Chirismoy shells and when brought together they're part of something larger, capable of opening dimensions inaccessible from our reality. We communicated our findings which all but confirms Fairy Tale's participation and possible recruitments but even he doesn't know where their current base lurks and so our option is to wait it out and anticipate where they'll strike next and confront them."
"Sounds like maybe we should be collecting these magical shells ourselves and using it as bait to lure this Fairy Tale and then we crash the party and take them down," Aquaman suggested.
Agreeing to this the Flash nodded but unsure how they'd even go about tracking the shells unless Zatanna or another magic user was capable of doing so.
"But you still never answered the question," the speedster focused on Kal again.
Superman knew just what he referred to and spoke without delay.
"I trust what I've heard, but not with my guard lowered as I'm sure it is the same from his end. Problem is Batman doesn't... but in the beginning that was no different than with all of us and I'm hopeful even if with bumps and turbulence along the way that'll change."

Ensuing a long couple hours of energy control and meditation Bruce met with Diana in one of the many training rooms where they jumped right into their daily routine. Having her around to help with the physical part of his training and sharpening his battle awareness and reflexes was an extra bonus. The amazon princess had no issues adjusting her speed and strength to match his and through the weeks she experienced firsthand through sparring, not only his increase in speed and strength but the control he was gaining over his body.
Today however there was a difference in him which had little to do with his technique or abilities, but his focus. It was just about halfway through the sparring session that Diana noticed the look in his eyes and general manner, he was both distracted and his mind elsewhere. Slowly as the session went on there was also a drop off in his precision as he became flat footed and unfocused and Wonder Woman had seen enough of this as she blocked his next several hits before connecting with a knee to his gut and then a spinning kick which knocked him to the ground.
"Your head isn't in it," Diana looked down on him as he laid on his side. "What's bothering you?"
Bruce pushed up as he sat on his bottom and looking up to the amazon princess who had her hands crossed by then. It was a rarity and frankly he wasn't sure that he ever received that look from her, a protective one as if he were a child being scolded.
"I... I don't know," he scratched at the side of his head looking away from her.
For a couple seconds she just stared at him before letting out a sigh and running a hand over his shoulder as she then proceeded to the exit.
"Let's break, take some time to clear your mind and perhaps we'll get one final session after midnight."
She gave him one final look as she exited through the automatic doors and Bruce stayed seated and lowered his gaze. What in the world was happening?! It all started just over four days ago walking in on her and from then the inner sensations had worsened to heights he had rarely undergone and he was without answers to this. Recalling the last time he felt so ineffective was a blur and this whole time Bruce kept it to himself but knew that needed to change.
And so for the next several minutes he just sat there quietly deliberating but it didn't take long before a decision was made, taking a stand and making his way through the automated doors. As anticipated he found the amazon princess inside her quarters, sitting over a stool and wiping down a select few blades over the countertop. Bruce knocked while entering and getting her attention.
"Do you have a second, there's something I've been meaning to get off my chest."
"Certainly," she spun around in the stool not expecting to see him so suddenly. "Let's talk."
Bruce sat over the edge of the bed, still dressed in the gray tank top and brown boots and lower body gear. Finishing the last of the blades, Diana joined him over the bed and with her hands behind her as she leaned back slightly with one leg over the other. It wasn't something that he could express so easily and so he really contemplated how he wanted to put his thoughts into words as he turned and faced her, feeling much like a boy confessing his passion for his childhood sweetheart for the first time. The situation was different but the feeling very much similar as he cleared his throat and began.
"You noticed during our sparring session, but this has stemmed back from days ago. I've kept it to myself, figuring it would pass but it hasn't."
He again went soundless and this worried her as she considered what it was he was trying to convey. His eyes fell over the carpet as he continued.
"It started when I saw... no, walked in on you. Or maybe it was before then, but that's when it became noticeable. You already know what I'm about to say, but I'm going to tell you. I'm not one for voicing my thoughts and sentiments and I never act on compulsion... but with this, I'm finding it rather challenging. And if things persist as is I might do something I'll regret and to avoid this," Bruce swallowed back as he looked up into her eyes. "You should leave this realm of Alvasleha."
"Leave, why in the world would I do that?! From the very beginning since your turning I've been one of your biggest supporters and advocates for helping you and I'm not going to turn my back and just disappear. You'll need to tell me exactly what you're thinking, I can't read your mind Bruce."
At this point she was extremely apprehensive about him and what could be so substantial that he'd ask her to leave. Nothing really ever got to him and neither was any of this... but then again he was notorious for pushing colleagues and allies aside in regards to certain operations.
"Bruce," she again spoke, but her tone much softer than before. "No matter what it is, just say it. I told you before that you could tell me anything."
His eyes drifted away from hers as he lowered his hands over his knees and he'd made it this far so there was no going back. He sat upright straightening his posture as he continued.
"You dropped something and I thought you might be in trouble and so I came running and that was the beginning."
"Wait, you don't mean..." Diana's voice faded.
She repositioned over the bed, facing him but still no eye contact. It took but only a second for her to recall the incident that occurred nights ago as a giggle escaped her lips and Bruce looking up at her with probing eyes.
"Excuse me, but I'm not the first woman you've seen naked," the amazon laughed again, still unmindful to the source of his worries.
By just looking into her eyes he made this notion.
"That isn't the point, Diana," Bruce spoke, getting her attention. "From that moment on I've thought of you, but not in the way that I normally have or should."
Wonder Woman bit over her lower lip as she had a pretty good feeling what it was he was trying to communicate. And she found herself in a detained position as there were so many ways to respond to this, but with it being him she wanted to choose her words wisely. And so she breathed out and replied.
"To clarify," Diana whispered with a soft blush over her cheeks. "You've been fantasizing about me?"
"I wouldn't say it like that... but more or less, yes. This is the very reason you should leave. I understand you want to help, but if you stay you'll only be a distraction."
The point made was valid and left her inaudible as she quietly thought things over.
"It must have to do with the changes in my body," Bruce started up again. "There are differences that I'm discovering every day. Believe me princess, these thoughts and what I'm feeling were nonexistent until all this. I have too much admiration for you, otherwise."
Diana again fell hushed as she thought back to a conversation both she and Selene had and possible side effects to Bruce's turning and one of those in particular came to mind. She opened her mouth with one question but then he fell forward with a hand to his head grimaced with discomfort and a headache coming on and Diana picked up on this right away.
"You're really bad at this, aren't you?" Wonder Woman shook her head leaning forward. "Have you listened at all to any of what Selene said? The first couple months of your turning are the most important that you feed and do so on a consistent basis. Over time you'll be able to go for longer periods without it, but for now you can't continuously keep pushing it aside. Your alternative is vegetable juice, but you already know that."
"I'm fine," Bruce waved her off as he sat upright.
Provoked by his tough guy attitude, Diana simply rolled her eyes as she tilted her neck just enough.
"Diana, I said I'm fine!" Bruce retorted.
"But you aren't, just do it. This wouldn't be the first and it isn't that painful."
She was right, he had fed off of and drank her blood more than a handful of times out of the two and a half months they'd been inside the realm. Bruce very easily could have rejected the offer but he didn't. There was no indecision on his end as he leaned his head to the side and with his fangs in plain view he bit into the flesh of Wonder Woman. First came the piercing pain which was then followed by another sensation that was warm and made her body tingle and grow frenzied. Consuming her blood revitalized him completely as he pulled back and two sets of blue eyes met as Diana was still shaking off the quivering sense through her body.
But that wasn't all, there was something different about him or rather in his eyes. They possessed a faraway look in them and with purpose. It was almost like staring into the eyes of a barren predator, a python coming to mind as if he was readying himself to strike. His head again dropped forward and she anticipated he was after another portion of her blood but that wasn't it at all. His face came within inches of hers and the amazon princess froze as the unanticipated happened and his lips pushed against hers and there was no immediate resistance and so he took things further wrapping an arm around her. Bruce pulled her in close as he deepened the kiss but it was in this moment that Diana pushed away, leaving a couple inches between them and her eyes filled with alarm as her heart ran.
"I'm sorry Bruce," she shook her head. "We can't, this is improper and..."
The amazon princess shivered and quieted as Bruce again moved in on her kissing at areas of her neck and did so gently and she couldn't believe what was happening. These actions were unlike him and she felt he was swapped with someone else.
"Bruce, you must stop... this is no good," Diana whispered.
"Whatever happens in Alvasleha, stays in Alvasleha," he whispered, lowering his head and kissing at the opposite side of her neck.
She opened her mouth to retort but then came another bite into the neck as instead her eyes rolled and her body became even more on fire with a single of his hands running up and down her side before lowering it over her exposed leg as she silently moaned and felt her body become aroused. It wasn't long before he pulled back and her body was shaking from the delight she was feeling and Bruce smiled looking into her lust filled eyes, knowing that his prey was now at his mercy with no will to fight. He again went for another kiss but this time he mashed his lips against her mouth and kissed her with passion and Diana found herself drowning into the moment as their tongues met! Consequently she found herself on her back with her arms wrapped around his neck and Bruce atop her. And so for a while they made out before Bruce broke the kiss, gazing down upon her as both breathed heavily but the faraway look in his eyes still present.
Bruce pushed up off her and standing over the bed's edge while Diana remained on her back in a state of awe and while she knew what was happening could be damaging she couldn't bring herself to stop. She always had a close bond with he and Kal but never imagined she'd end up in a position like this. The amazon princess watched Bruce as he removed the tank from over his head and tossed it aside, revealing his athletic and muscular physique but he didn't stop there. Next he took hold of Diana's left leg, unzipping and removing the boot as he did the same with her opposite boot. The amazon princess quietly groaned as he kissed at the side of her foot and made his way down her leg.
And with his hands extended outward Bruce pulled the amazon princess up as they embraced in another kiss but short and from then he helped her with removing her upper armor and it was in this instant that she contemplated one final time putting an end to this all before they reached a point of no return. But then came his mouth to her exposed left breast as he took it in and sucked lightly as she groaned in pleasure and it was then that she knew they had already gone too far and whatever happened from there happened, and there was nothing she would do to stop it. It wasn't long before she'd been stripped of all her clothing as she laid out over the blankets and Bruce joining her.
Diana squealed and moaned as Bruce played around with and pleasured different sections of her body but none more gratifying then when he lowered his head in between her legs and spinning his tongue over her vaginal entrance and clit. The entire time she bit at her lower lip moaning and grimacing as his tongue stretched inside her entrance. She trailed a finger through his hair and couldn't help but feel guilty, pondering she was taking advantage of the situation and his current state of mind. Soon after he pulled up as his eyes met with hers and that's when her eyes ventured downward to what was below his waist.
Wonder Woman extended a single arm outward gently rubbing her hand over the erected area in his pants as he groaned. Her body was going through and experiencing things that it never had before and it all started with that bite, and when he fed off her. It was as if the will to resist had completely been sucked out of her. It was unknown to either but through the crack of the door someone had emerged and looked in on them, witnessing all that was happening! Diana rubbed and squeezed at the area a little while longer before taking hold of his zipper and pulling it down and taking hold of his erected member in her hands.
The amazon princess said nothing as she positioned over her knees and Bruce standing over the bed's edge as she licked at and then taking his cock into her mouth while sucking him off. Outside the door, the one watching had seen enough, taking off with her own arousal jumping. Bruce grunted and moaned from the pleasure he was receiving from her tongue wrapping and spinning around his cock but then Diana stopped, looking up at him as she fell back and over the bed with her head whirling and body intoxicated with pleasure and needing an immediate release. She was with her legs spread, drooling from her mouth and looking up into the eyes of Bruce and that's when those words came out of her mouth.
"Fuck me Bruce, I want to become one with you."
Even as she spoke these words she couldn't believe they were coming out of her mouth. Though a part of her wanted this an even bigger part was screaming and telling her to end things. Her body tingled as he lowered himself over her and their gaze met again, but this time there was a difference; that faraway look in his eyes had vanished! It was also in this moment that he pushed back, running a hand over his head and grumbling whilst zipping up his pants.
"Diana I… I'm sorry," he looked away from her and to his upper gear over the ground and recovered it. "We can't do this."
"Bruce, wait!" Wonder Woman jumped up shouting out to him.
He was quickly across the room and out of the door and while she wanted to go after him she didn't. Instead she just sat over the bed, quietly thinking to herself before punching at the bed, disappointed in herself for allowing things to escalate to the point that they did.

For the past hour he'd been running around using the trees to shield himself from the incoming arrows that were fired at him. During the course of this Luke established his own position in relation to Cecily's as both were constantly on the move and while at first she had various open shots, as things went on those opportunities lessened as she had completely lost sight of him.
"Where the hell did you go..." Cecily whispered as she held the bow low and tight against her body.
It was merely a training exercise but that didn't take away from the intensity that either felt. While the elf had lost sight of him, Luke knew exactly where she was and with this he slowly moved in and drew closer. Problem was her advanced hearing as even the most subtle sounds her ears would pick up on. It was an advantage that both werewolves and elves held over most monster groups, capable of hearing things from further distances. Even with this advantage on her behalf, Luke gained ground, moving in on her with just about five yards between them as he hid behind a bush.
It was now or never and so he made his move, springing out at her from behind and while Cecily countered and blocked his first strike, she lost hold of not only her bow but the pack of arrows attached to her back. She and Luke engaged in close combat which saw Cecily falling back as Luke had the upper hand. Through this back and forth struggle, the two of them fell to the ground and wrestling it out as they rolled a few times. Luke eventually gained the advantage atop her, pinning Cecily's hands just above her head as she kicked about.
This all ended right after as a whistle sounded and a woman on horseback galloped into the picture from up a hill. She was dressed in silver and brown armor with a purple cape, tiara over her forehead and her green hair fluttering with the wind. Luke had offered his hand, helping Cecily to her feet as both then bowed to the woman atop the horse. She smiled down on both as she threw her hair.
"That'll be it for now, you both did well," Isla's eyes then specifically fell over Luke. "Especially you, and while you deficient in other areas close quarters combat isn't one of them. The sun will be setting soon and the royal gathering will commence in the next hour, so let us return so that we may be ready before nightfall."
It wasn't far from where they stood that two horses were tied to a tree, one for Luke and the other Cecily and so they saddled up as Isla led the way and the group of three returned to the palace. It was then that both Cecily and Luke broke away from Isla who headed directly to the throne room to have a word with both the king and queen.
"You got lucky out there today," Cecily gazed up at him from the corner of her eye. "Don't get cocky and allow Lady Isla's words to go to your head."
"Sour?" Luke responded.
The elf warrior sneered as she looked to respond but they were approached by military personnel and so she straightened her posture looking professional and it wasn't a moment later that she was summoned down an adjacent hall, peaking at Luke with a scowl while he smiled. Further along and to the third level is where he ventured and found her. The dojo's door was halfway left open and so he entered to the sight of Dinah Lance taking on a handful of five elves and with the upper hand. He stood there and watched for the next minute as one after another each of them fell until she was the only one left standing and looked to Luke who leaned against a wall.
"Barely just getting warmed up," she breathed heavily. "Care to jump in?"
"When I feel like getting my butt kicked, I'll let you know," Luke responded.
The two of them laughed collectively as the session wrapped up shortly. It was in fact Prince Arlo that ordered the training session take place, looking to get his newly delegated unit into top level shape as he'd lost most his corps in the ambush and still somewhat shaken from the events of that night. From then the session concluded and the lot of them were out of there, Dinah and Luke taking off for their own rooms and changing into something more appropriate for the royal gathering. While Dinah was assigned the duty of helping as a server of beverages Luke was appointed a post taking on the role of a doorman.
It was within the next hour that the event commenced and guests piling into the service room where the main activities took place, tables throughout, music and a dance floor at the center. Walking around and with a notepad in hand, Dinah smiled and conversed with dozens of customers sitting around the tables and taking their orders. She dreamed and couldn't wait for the day they were free of this all and could return home, but the situation could be a whole lot worse and a short while ago it was. If she knew the way home, Canary wouldn't hesitate to escape and knew Luke would share that sentiment. Both were provided with Vindellorien wear and garb, blending with the masses.
He had only ever really seen Isla in her armor or battle gear, and so as he glanced across the room and saw her walking down the steps in a light blue dress and heels was odd, but in a good way. She was accompanied by her brother, Prince Arlo and sister, Princess Sienna who were also all dressed up for the special occasion. Both the king and queen weren't far from them, on that side of the room and speaking with some of the many guests. Luke checked with each individual passing through his assigned door for the proper invitation, and when he wasn't busy or otherwise occupied his eyes continuously ventured to one place and someone standing nearby picked up on this from where she stood, holding a glass beverage as she approached him.
"Enjoying the atmosphere?"
Luke looked to his left and moving in beside him was a woman at 5'8 with long red hair and in a gold colored dress with her hair tied upward in a bun. She was Cecily Hadlee, and he couldn't tell if she was still bitter from earlier.
"Just doing what's asked of me, madam," Luke answered.
"Is that so," Cecily took a sip of what was inside her glass. "And tell me, do your duties comprise of gawking over Lady Isla?"
Instantly Luke bit over his tongue as he dropped back in defense.
"Hold up?! I have not done anything like..."
"Oh please," Cecily rolled her eyes cutting him off. "I've been watching you this whole time, and believe me it's pointless. No matter what you've been told, you and that blonde aren't free... even if our king chooses not to use the word prisoner it is exactly what you and that woman are. For your sake I suggest you keep those eyes of yours to yourself if you want to keep them. If any of the royal guards, or hell forbid Lady Isla herself caught you, it wouldn't surprise me if she cut your eyes out on the spot. And I bet that fiancée of yours wouldn't be too thrilled to discover her companion looking at other women. Just a little friendly advice."
The female elf took off as she took another sip of what was inside her glass and though he was certain Cecily wasn't very fond of him, the advice given was legitimate but even so his eyes again returned to the king's second daughter. By that point she was surrounded by a group and looked to be enjoying herself. Ever since the day of target practice and his admire of the lieutenant general he noticed a difference, primarily her bossy attitude replaced as she also seemed to open up more.
"Luke, Luke..."
His shoulders tightened as he listened the familiar voice as she appeared from his right and dressed in a dark red gown with her light green hair tied in two pigtails with red bows.
"Miyu," he looked at her suspiciously, knowing exactly what it meant whenever she showed herself. "Listen, I know what you want but I'm not food and I'm not going to hand over my blood to you whenever you want. I've got a job to do, get lost."
Miukei placed a hand over her heart as she sulked.
"So hurtful and rude, I thought you liked me."
She moved up on him with puppy eyes, but Luke wasn't having any of this not giving her even a slight look.
"Jerk!" Miukei kicked at his shin through the gown and Luke grimacing in pain as he fell back.
"What the hell was that for?!"
The vampire gave no answer as she instead took hold of his arm and forced him through the door and pulled him along as she skipped forward.
"What're you doing, I can't just leave my post?!" Luke tried forcing his way back but he was heavily out powered as she dragged him.
She kicked open the door to a hallway closet just around the corner and pinned him against the wall just beside a mirror as she licked at her lips.
"You don't know how much I've been craving your blood all day," her eyes sparkled while dropping her head forward. "I'm gonna drink till my heart's content."
"No you aren't, don't I have a say in the matter?!" Luke voiced.
Miukei leaned back and blinked a couple times while she really seemed to take his thoughts into consideration before shrugging her shoulders.
"No," she answered simply before throwing her head forward and biting into the right side of his neck.
She held onto him tightly as she drank his blood and Luke feeling dazed as this continued on for a little over a minute before she released her hold of him and moaned from the satisfaction she got from feeding off him.
"Lucky you're cute, or this totally wouldn't..."
"You think I'm cute?" Miukei snickered with a hand to her mouth. "You tryna flirt, human?"
Luke just rolled his eyes and pushed open the door and bypassed her and returned to his post down the hall.

His eyes flickered as he rolled over on his side and yawned while he stretched and that's when the reality of the situation set in as did his guilt. Details of the night before were clear as day, recalling all of what they'd done and what he did to her, still able to feel his lips against hers as they kissed passionately. It all could have ended a lot worse as somewhere down the line he regained control and stopped things from going further than they had.
He didn't know when, but somewhere during their conversation things went south as he lost control, or more so his urges and desires took over and he was rendered a passenger through it all as he plunged further and further into lust. It consumed him in ways he'd never experienced as he'd been exposed to Poison Ivy and her spores which targeted these exact ambiances but he had been able to fight through, and through willpower he eventually fought his way through this. Last night was a misstep and it was all because of him. He didn't have much time to think about what he'd say to her or how he'd go about apologizing as the door to his quarters opened and there she was standing in the doorway. Her expression wasn't one of regret, horror or guilt like he was expecting but instead a bashful smile.
"That sure was something," Diana blushed.
Bruce bit back as he looked away from her and to the ceiling while she walked in and the door closing behind her.
"Diana, I... I'm sorry," Bruce eventually looked to her. "What happened last night..."
"Don't apologize," Diana shook her head. "We aren't youths and I'm more to blame than you."
For a moment thereafter Diana fell silent as Bruce stared and wondered what she meant by this. The princess twirled a strand of hair with a finger falling over the right side of her face.
"There are things Selene failed to mention to you that she should have. I didn't consider it at first or maybe I just chose to ignore it. I was caught up in the moment and didn't make the right decision. Selene warned me of the side effects that you might experience and last night was without a doubt one of them. I could have acted sooner and stopped things from going far as they did had I known about your inner views."
"Inner views?" Bruce questioned.
"She cautioned me of what could occur with not only your blood lust potentially sparking out of control but your sexual stamina taking a significant leap and these exact desires directed at someone you hold feelings for. You needed to release and rid yourself of those urges... and that came in the form of myself."
Sitting upright with his chest visible, Bruce's eyes constricted as he looked her over, piecing together what exactly she meant by this statement.
"I don't view you like that, you're a comrade and teammate."
"Well according to Selene's summary I'm more to you than just that. Perhaps its hidden feelings you, yourself didn't know or maybe you developed them in the weeks we've been on this island. It matters little, point is you aren't fully to blame for what happened, Selene also probed that you might lose control your first time. It is my fault for allowing you to drink my blood in that moment, which triggered your loss of control and I too was affected."
"First time being what?"
"Experiencing what a vampire goes through when he or she is greatly in heat. Luckily this is something you can learn to control. Not to sprinkle salt on the wound or make anything more out of what happened, but I wouldn't have stopped you... the affect your bite had on me was so much different than the other times. I wanted you to make love to me."
Bruce's eyes shot open as he couldn't believe the that coming out of her mouth, but then again she wasn't the type to hide and conceal her thoughts.
"And I don't mean to give off the wrong impression, I too am regretful of what happened and the circumstance surrounding it but we can't change what's already been done, it could have been worse. However, I do agree that you were right in saying I should have left and none of this would have occurred. I can no longer remain on Alvasleha as I'm now simply a distraction to your purpose here."
The amazon princess moved in closer beside the bed and Bruce observing her the entire time as she crossed her arms.
"That's only half of it," Wonder Woman took a deep breath before continuing. "I'm not in love with you Bruce, that's the truth. But if I were to stay here and things continued like this, I could see myself falling for you. In some ways maybe I have, but that isn't what either of us wants and I like the relationship we share. We're both immortals, so who knows what the future might hold, but for now it's best to keep it professional."
It went without saying but she took the words right out of his mouth, Bruce feeling exactly as she did on the matter. Diana sat over the bed's edge as their gazes met.
"To be honest I always thought between you and him that it would be Kal that I'd find myself in such a circumstance as this."
She took a moment to chuckle and Bruce smiled, much as he tried not to.
"I shall return to Themyscira and look over your daughter until your training here concludes. This was a onetime occurrence so it's best this little incident stays between you and I."
Bruce felt similarly with this as well, but that's also when a certain someone came to mind, Morrigan Aensland. The succubi was an exception, if necessary he wouldn't hesitate to tell her but knowing her she'd probably be disappointed that he didn't bed the amazon completely. They had mutually agreed to be open and honest with each other, though they weren't in a serious relationship. And without much else to say he tossed the sheets off his body and proceeded to get dressed. There were things he refused to admit, but his attraction to her warrior mentality, on field skills and beauty weren't among them. Soon thereafter Diana returned to her room as she began packing her belongings and readying herself for departure. She accomplished this within the hour and met with Selene on the main floor to notify her of the change in plan.

It was just hours after Diana's departure that Bruce found himself inside one of the training facilities where he worked on improving and sharpening his abilities to sense yokai. The session came to an abrupt end as Selene called out to him through the intercoms and he quickly finished up before making his way to her office. Regardless of his mindset during what ultimately led to him and Wonder Woman's close call, he blamed himself for having no restraint against the changes he was going through but it was calming to know it was something he'd be able to control.
"Selene," he called out to her as he entered the open doorway to her office.
"Mister Wayne," she smiled at him in a suspicious way.
It was because of this that he fell silent for a couple seconds and just stared at her as she walked around the long table with a couple dozen map outs neatly laid out atop it.
"Diana Prince has left," she spoke with half a smirk. "It was somewhat unforeseen, things really seemed to be going well. She didn't give much a reason why she decided to take off, you wouldn't happen to have the answer to this, now would you?"
Her grin seemed to grow as Bruce looked her over with inquiring eyes as it seemed the vampire might already know the answer to her own question but wanted to hear the details. Bruce however shrugged with no intent to give her anything.
"I don't know. Diana is a member of the league and princess of an entire island of warriors, perhaps she's needed elsewhere."
Selene simply chuckled, realizing she'd get nothing out of him and so she shifted her attention to more important matters and why she summoned him.
"Jitoshi will be moved from the kingdom of Hiklorhan in a matter of thirteen days real time, outside of this realm which gives you nearly two months inside here to formulate how you want to go about executing your strategy. This is your best and only real opportunity to free him, but this isn't something you can do alone given your lack of knowledge on yokai realm landmarks and so I took the liberty of reaching out to someone that can help."
"Who?" Bruce questioned.
Selene was without an answer and instead a door to the side of them opened and a familiar individual stepped through, dressed in black biker attire with a white tank top beneath it. He stood at 6'4, with a sturdy build with reddish blonde hair reaching his shoulders and spiked in. His eyes were a honey amber color. Bruce recognized this individual from years back on the night of Vheuto lazz.
"I present to you king of dragons, and son of Apollo, Fafnir."
"I know who he is!" Bruce scowled as he stepped back somewhat. "What is he doing here?"
Selene hadn't any clue the two of them had met before and so with the comprehension of this, it was no wonder Bruce responded in the way that he did. The vampire knew that she needed to clear up a few uncertainties before they jumped into the subject matter of the gathering. Her opportunity closed as the dragon himself spoke.
"Well, well if it isn't Bloodriver's past human lover turned vampire, how poetic. To think Bruce Wayne was the Batman."
"Believe me Bruce, he is the only one aside from your family and teammates that knows about the events of that night, or your turning for that matter. Even the emperor himself is unaware of your fate or you even being here."
With a step back Bruce crossed his arms as he looked the two of them over while quietly thinking about the entire situation and what he'd do from this point.
"Uncertainty and unsettle," Fafnir chortled. "Those are the things I see when looking into your eyes, but take what I'm about to say into account and you be the judge from there if you want to trust me or not."
Eyes peeled and his focus on the dragon king, Bruce's shoulders sunk.
"Talk," Bruce responded.
"Your plan is to break out Ichiro Jitoshi from his imprisonment, correct? And I've agreed to help in this task, me the king of dragons! Jitoshi is a highly regarded prisoner that's caused a whole lot of mischief and it isn't just my father or Bloodriver that would love to see him burn but rulers of other kingdoms. His misconducts and offences stretch over a period of two centuries when he first became knowingly active. If I were to be caught and linked as a conspirator to his escape, losing my title would be the least of my worries. I'd be fucking dead meat!"
For a couple dozen seconds Bruce took in all that was said and it made a lot of sense with less reason not to trust him, but there was still one important detail left unanswered.
"Why... why did you agree to help us?" Bruce questioned. "And how do I know you aren't undercover and working for your father?"
Right away came laughter from Fafnir who saw an opportunity to get back at those who put him on the short end of the stick or to do so in spite.
"You're quote on quote world's greatest detective... but hey, I guess it'd be unfair to judge over something far out of your sights. For starters if father or even Bloodriver knew about what you were plotting here, they wouldn't send someone undercover, no, no, no! They'd appear here directly and put an end to this craziness where it stands with no chance of taking off! And if you haven't figured it already, my central motive for being here is all because of your baby momma and my so called sister, Bloodriver Akasha. That little cunt doesn't deserve any of what's been bestowed upon her! Yeah, yeah and maybe I'm just bitter, she's done far more good in all her years than bad and it would honestly be difficult to scrape up the negatives. Perhaps I could have gotten passed her actions from seven years ago... but not with father's slap on the wrist treatment of a damn punishment!"
And just like that his motivation was illuminated, Selene having known of his distaste for her master for some time but swallowed up and shoved her pride aside. This was just perfect, beyond perfect! Akasha so badly wanted Jitoshi dead and if all went according to plan he wouldn't even make it to the execution grounds of Meltaw, all because of her own trusted maiden, a prior lover and himself! The three-way combination only heightened his elation as he would do anything at this point to screw her over, even if indirectly.
"To successfully pull off what you're aiming to accomplish requires someone of experience and understanding of the assorted kingdoms and proceedings such as a prisoner escort of such high caliber like in this case." Selene cleared her throat as she looked to Fafnir. "Why don't you take over from here, as you've been directly briefed on what's to come."
Fafnir simply shook his head as he cracked his knuckles and stood over the table looking over the immense map out of the yokai realm. He pointed and ran a finger over a specific landmark as Bruce dialed in and paid close attention.
"This here is the kingdom of Hiklorhan, better known as the home capital to vampires and where Jitoshi is currently being held prisoner. However in just thirteen short days he'll be relocated to the town of Meltaw. This is where all high profile criminals are taken to stand trial or execution. Jitoshi will be transported among a handful of at least one hundred fifty prisoners by way of the motored carriages. All convicts of this set have committed hefty crimes against the realm just as your target and for that reason you're looking at five National Wexers from each major kingdom."
"Meaning?" Bruce questioned, moving in closer.
The probability of the mission concluding in success was seemingly ten percent at best and the idea that someone would seek to achieve this was mind bobbling to the dragon king. He again laughed as he ran a hand through his hair.
"Listen Wayne, my own selfish reasons aside I only agreed to take part in this suicide mission... your suicide, is firstly because what you did in shepherding the closing of Vheuto lazz. And secondly because Kayeda here tells me your motive behind this is pure and could play a greater significance in the bad that's been ensuing within the yokai realm in respect to the amassing Chirismoy shells, yes that's what the magical pieces are called. I'd much rather not go against father and the established powers, but sometimes to gain the advantage requires under the table and devious approaches. Selene knew this about me and it's why she approached me with this, I've made a living of ruling Arcenill Mount this way and it's worked out. Believe me, I'm no saint but I get the job done and my species safe and the kingdom better off for it. But hey, care to enlighten me on the details of your idea?"
Bruce looked off Fafnir whilst taking a deep breath and his eyes falling over what was over the table.
"When the mission is done I'll tell you all you wish to know. For now, let's discuss strategy. You said Jitoshi is being held here in the kingdom of Hiklorhan and will be transported here," Bruce trailed a finger from point A to point B. "To the town of Meltaw. Which route will they take?"
"It's about three hundred miles between both locations and they will start off here and follow this trail for a good one hundred to one hundred and a half before breaking off here and over the golden bridge or also known as the bridge of Kygnini, that extends nearly the length of four football fields. By this point the sun will have set. From then it's smooth sailing and out in the open... if you're going to make a move it'll have to be before then, but even so there aren't a whole lot of great options," Fafnir backtracked with a finger over the map. "Right around here is your best opportunity, bunches of boulders, bushes and trees, but to put it lightly you're still screwed. I told you before that five National Wexers of the global powers will be a part of the prison escort. Even with your new found vampire strength and abilities it won't be enough to take them all!"
"You let me worry about that," Bruce responded.
"Are you even listening to me?!" Fafnir shot back. "Sure, the elves, ogres, mermen and a select few others you can handle no problem but it isn't them that poses the problem. Five werewolves, five vampires, five phoenixes, and five Kitsune National Wexers who're properly trained and skilled from their respective kingdoms! And that doesn't include the two hundred or so stone men from the rock tribe that'll also be part of the escort!"
"Sorry to say, but King Fafnir is right," Selene shook her head woefully. "You couldn't hope to defeat them all, even with the combat skills you possess and you still have much to learn and master in your training of amending to vampirism."
He understood both clearly, but he also knew what he was capable of.
"You two are forgetting this isn't a fight, the objective is retrieving a prisoner... one single detainee," Bruce's finger lowered over the map just where the Kygnini Bridge was marked. "Let's say this bridge weren't operational, where would the prison escort reroute to reach the city of Meltaw?"
This question raised red flags for both Selene and Fafnir who looked at one another, before the dragon king turned his attention to the map and ran his finger over a singular section.
"Here," Fafnir grinned. "The Lagooz forest, and in there they'd be like sitting ducks."
"Easy pickings and now it's settled," Bruce stepped back. "We're going to blow up that bridge."
"No, you can't! Freeing Jitoshi is one thing, but we aren't risking such collateral damages! Do you even know what that bridge means, and the significance of it?!" Selene shot.
Fafnir on the other hand applauded the idea while clapping.
"I like the way you think and I know just the guys for the job, goblin smuggler mercenaries from the kingdom of Thishieita. They speak to money, riches and nothing else and they're good at what they do. I've dealt with them on countless occasions when dealing with otherwise troubling matters threatening Arcenill Mount. They'll set the explosives in place, providing us with the detonator and whatever else you might need. Yokai weapons, traps, etcetera."
"King Fafnir, listen to yourself this is ludicrous! You can't agree to this!"
"Calm yourself and try not to get your panties in a bind, I'm not doing anything that can't be fixed afterwards. If it makes you feel any better I'll even take the initiative in the rebuilding process. Besides if all goes according to plan, our involvement in this will never be known."
There was so much Selene wanted to blurt out and curse at them both, but she kept quiet as she knew his help and resources were needed.
"I don't plan on taking them all head on," Bruce voiced breaking the silence. "The idea is to cut their numbers in half, blow the bridge when half is across and force the remaining escorts into the forest and we can only hope our target is among the back of those carriages. You said this move wouldn't be made until thirteen days, but inside this realm that's nearly two months which is more than enough time to prepare accordingly. Selene if you will, in depth details on werewolves, Kitsunes and phoenixes would be appreciated. And I'll want to visit this Lagooz forest and get a feel for the overall structure and set some things in place beforehand. I'll need to get my hands on those yokai weapons you spoke of, anything used on this mission can't be drawn back to myself or a single of us."
Bruce knew his gadgets and weaponry were off limits for this mission. Lagooz forest would become his battleground, his advantage.
"Set things in place?" Selene probed.
"Don't worry about it," Bruce shook his head. "I must be prepared for the unanticipated, and I guarantee you when that night is over I will have triumphed. I'll need to return to the cave in the next day or so to recover a few things that'll help with this."
"World's greatest detective and strategist," Fafnir chortled. "This outta be fun. I'll start making contacts soon as we're done here. The entire dragon board is in the dark on this matter, clearly they'd never go for something such as this but sometimes a king must make questionable decisions for the greater good. I hope in this case my trust and faith in you pays off, Batman."
Taking a step back Fafnir ran a hand through his hair.
"There's much to sort through and figure before the night, however there's one minor detail we've failed to discuss," Fafnir's eyes specifically fell over Selene. "I expect some form of compensation for my involvement, even if small."
"Oh, that. I didn't have anything in mind, but I'm sure we can come to terms and figure something."
The purple haired vampire grinned and winked as she ran a finger over her own chest while proceeding to pull open her under shirt slightly to reveal more of her cleavage and Fafnir snickered.
"Believe me, even a decade ago I would have been all in on that. I'd be lying if I didn't tell you at some point or another I didn't envision taking either of you three to bed... hell, at the same time even! But you're too closely associated with her, Bloodriver. Frankly I don't know if I'd be capable of getting it up and even if I did, I'd be pissed off the entire time."
It was Selene's turn to chortle with a finger to her mouth.
"Angry sex is the best and besides you'd have the chance to exert all that excessive negative energy."
Off to the side of them Bruce lowered a hand over his face and questioning why they were having this discussion with him standing in the room.
"Sorry sweet stuff, but I'll have to pass," Fafnir again laughed but with something else in mind. "But I've noticed you've got a handful of cuties running around this island."
His smile of determination was undeniable.
"My maidens," Selene returned the smirk. "Consider them at your service, they'll do anything you ask and I mean anything."
"I like the sound of that," Fafnir smiled just before taking to the exit. "Time to make a few calls and set things in motion, but I'll return in a couple hours. You can expect the weapons."
Fafnir was out and there was no time to rest or stand around as Bruce's training was far from complete and now this. It was then that Selene laughed and Bruce staring at her oddly.
"Those sexual compulsions you experienced," she looked him in the eyes. "I shall teach you how to control them through meditation and energy control. A healthy balance of blood also helps, but there's also another alternative if you prefer."
The vampire stood in a suggestive manner as she leaned up and against the table running a finger up her own leg and into her skirt. This all but confirmed to him that she had either seen, or Diana informed her about what happened.
"Not interested."
Selene immediately pushed away from the table but with a smile over her face.
"Wait here," she headed for a side door. "There's a map I have lying around with in depth specs of the Lagooz forest, give me a sec and I'll recover it."
Bruce watched her pass through and knew this very mission was exactly what he needed to put his new abilities and training to the test as he'd have just about two months to not only prepare, but continue his training.

"Your highness, the presentation is about to get underway," a vampire council member stepped into her office.
The pink haired vampire only nodded before grabbing a handful of files from the corner of her desk bringing it along with her as she made her way to the conference room adjacent to her office. She trotted in with confidence as she threw her hair back sitting on the far right head side of the table. Her green eyes glanced at the clock showing that it was just after 7 P.M. And, of course her second in command, Ekon Bakari had yet to arrive which had been a recurring theme lately. Everyone else however was in place and ready to go. Akasha tapped her fingernails absentmindedly over the dark wood table, exasperated.
"I apologize for the absence Ekon, he should be here any minute," the Dark Lord assured them.
Her eyes again returned to the clock a few minutes later and just as she opened her mouth to speak an individual standing at 5'11 with brown skin, red eyes with a slit through them and wearing a black suit and silver chain around his neck entered. It was exactly who they'd been waiting for. A small smirk shaped over the sides of Akasha's lips but she bit at the inside of her cheek. His tardiness was becoming quite an issue but she gave him the benefit of the doubt as she knew how busy a man he was.
"Ekon-san," the Dark Lord welcomed him but her tone almost an unintended growl. "Punctuality may not be high priority to you, but you have kept not only myself but the rest of the council waiting."
She glimpsed at every attendee on either side of the table. All were staring at Ekon but didn't at all appear too upset, well at least in comparison to their queen. Ekon set his belongings and materials in a corner before sitting in place with a couple files in hand which he dropped atop the table.
Akasha rolled her tongue with her jaw tightened in irritation which was only for a moment before putting on one of her calming and warm smiles. "Are you all settled, Ekon-san?" she spoke in a syrupy sweet tone. "Shall we kick things off?"
As much as she tried hiding it, the disappearance of Sasha was affecting her in so many different ways, and among them was a shorter temperament. Things that would normally never unnerve her were doing exactly that. All she could do was put on a smile and pretend things were okay, but in truth she missed her daughter so much, that some nights were sleepless.
The meeting started with the Dark Lord detailing what was discussed in the previous meeting, following the wide realm meeting and things quickly kicked off from there. Not a single of them spoke until she was finished and then gave their own personal inputs. Following that each of the vampire council members began quietly discussing amongst themselves and during this time Akasha felt something buzzing at her side which just so happened to be her phone. From all the time spent in man's world hiding out, she'd grown accustomed to its electronics and technology. Ekon gazed at Akasha during this time as she looked down grinning from ear to ear. The message read, "Enjoyed last night, and you'll be seeing more of this soon."
The message was sent by Colton but obviously not intended for her as a photo of his penis was included and she couldn't help but blush in embarrassment, especially at a time like now. The message was more than likely intended for one of his many lady friends and she should have been angry and vexed but she wasn't.
And the meeting went on from there lasting just over two hours, and the Dark Lord managing to touch on everything she wanted. Akasha was the last out of the conference room with a stack of folders at her side and the vampire satisfied with the conclusion of the gathering and progress made. Surprisingly enough just down the hall was someone she didn't expect to see which further brightened the mood.
"Moka!" Akasha said happily as she waved and her daughter did the same back.
"You still haven't heard anything, I take it?" she stared at Akasha with sadness in her eyes. "I've been thinking about her a lot and where she might be and I just can't help but think she's out there somewhere, alone and petrified. We should be doing more, we should be out there searching for her..."
Akasha lowered a reassuring hand over Moka's shoulder.
"We're doing all we can, I deployed some of my best spies, experts on search and seize. If she's out there and hasn't returned to whoever she and Jitoshi were functioning for they'll find her and return her to us."
That wasn't good enough, hearing any of that wasn't going to do a thing to settle Moka's and Akasha could see this as she leaned forward embracing Moka. Sasha's disappearance was affecting her, just as much as it was Akasha. There was no doubt her daughter needed cheering up and that's when an idea came to mind.
"How's this for an idea," Akasha jumped back with a smile. "A double date? Yourself, Tsukune, Colton and I? In three days he and I were planning to the Jumbo races and it would be nice to have the company of you and Tsukune."
Right away Moka bit back as she completely loathed that man, unable to get the imagery out of her head of him fooling around with another woman. Her mother deserved so much better, but Moka knew speaking out wouldn't reach Akasha or change the Dark Lord's mind.
"I'll speak to Tsukune," Moka put on a fictitious smile.
"Good," Akasha kissed at Moka's forehead. "It'll be fun."
