Clash of Realms
CHP4: Time For Hiding is over
Finishing up a relatively short workout, Damian returned to the manor from the cave with a towel around his neck and sat in the living room clicking on the television as he leaned back switching from channel to channel. Not even a minute later his shoulders lowered as he rolled his eyes. Though he couldn't see her, Damian could feel a presence behind him and knew it was her, likely making faces behind him or throwing up random signs over his head. As usual he just ignored her and then came a grumble.
"Fight me nii-san!" Sasha grabbed and pulled at his shoulders.
"Disappear you insignificant maggot," Damian again changed the channel as his younger sister moped behind him.
It didn't seem to matter how many names he called her or what he did, as it seemed she was always right there on his tail. She tugged and pulled at the back of his shirt a couple times and Damian only rolled his eyes but didn't look back at her. This only agitated her and so with her mouth open she bit sharply at his left ear and proceeded to run as Damian jumped up from the sofa and ran after her.
"Come and catch me, nii-san!" Sasha stuck her tongue out at him playfully.
"Get back here you blood sucking ant!" Damian shouted with fury.
Though there was a six year age difference between them, Sasha had him bested in every physical category including speed. As if to get in his head the vampire purposely slowed her pace and as he came within two inches of her she shot forward in full stride like a barrel fired from a cannon.
"Too slow nii-san, yur gonna have to go faster."
He chased her all over as his ear throbbed from the bite into his flesh and all Damian could think about was pinning her down and inflicting as much damage on her as he possibly could. He was so pissed that he couldn't think straight and without realizing it he was playing right into her hands. She had his attention and chasing after her relentlessly and she couldn't be more happy. He chased her up the second level as she laughed and taunted him the entire way, only to backflip back onto the main level.
"Naa, na, naa, na, naa... can't do that can you, nii-san?"
Damian grumbled as he took off down the steps as the chase continued but then the front door to the manor opened and Sasha's ears perked up as she took off in that direction.
"Daddy!" her eyes lit up.
Bruce smiled down on her as she jumped up with her arms and legs wrapped around him as she rubbed her head against his body.
"Daddy why you not come home last night?" Sasha stuck out her lower lip. "I waited and waited but you never came, I was so worried."
Bruce only chuckled as he ran a hand through her hair.
"I'm fine, just had a lot of work to do."
He embraced her for a little while longer before she dropped down on her feet as Damian approached but with his father in plain view, his pursuit of her had to be put on hold and knowing exactly this the vampire stuck her tongue out at him again as he glared. It was only a moment later that a woman appeared through the door behind Bruce with long green hair and eyes, wearing brown leggings, black boots and a white shirt with a silver necklace around her neck.
"Oh my," the woman clasped her hands together as she took a knee in front of the young vampire. "Is this her, she is quite the little cutie."
The woman looked Sasha over closely who was dressed in a light blue school uniform. Her eyes were just as his, a dark ocean blue with shoulder length black hair and streaks of pink at the ends.
"Daddy," Sasha tugged at her father's pants as she looked up at him. "Why is the weird lady looking at me?"
Both Bruce and the woman on her knees laughed at the adorable yet innocent remark by the vampire.
"Her name is Morrigan and she's a friend, you don't need to be afraid. Go and say hello."
"Hi," the vampire waved. "I'm Sasha Wayne."
"Oh my, you're just the cutest little thing," Morrigan reached out and caressed her chin. "And I'm Morrigan Aensland. You must be excited for tonight, I mean with it being your first public event."
"Yes, I'm super excited," Sasha jumped up.
It had been years since she'd seen Akasha but never forgot the vampire's face and this child was undoubtedly hers. The succubus saw much of Akasha in the child and it brought a smile to her face as she stood and faced the boy.
"And you must be Damian, quite the handsome little lad you are," Morrigan chuckled.
"No comment," Damian responded.
Her laughter quickly died down as she looked to Bruce who exhaled.
"He takes time opening up, don't take it personal," Bruce replied.
"I see," Morrigan grinned as she moved in beside Bruce kissing at his lips. "Nice meeting the family, look forward to getting to know them all. Last night was marvelous, let's do it again very soon. I've got somewhere to be or I'd stay longer."
The succubus pulled at the collar of his shirt and kissed at his lips again and just like the first one Sasha didn't see, but Damian did. Morrigan rubbed up against him before taking off through the open door and waving before pushing it shut behind her.
"I've got a meeting scheduled within the next hour," Bruce looked them both over. "I'm going to go get cleaned up, play nice."
"We will," Sasha jumped up happily.
Damian watched his father slowly bypass him on his way up and his absence for the entire night now had an explanation. He didn't know where but it was obvious Bruce spent it with that woman Morrigan. Once upstairs and in his room Bruce removed his jacket and undershirt and stared at himself in the mirror. Over various sections of his stomach, chest and even over the right side of his neck were pink lipstick marks from Morrigan kissing at his flesh during their love making. He only hoped Damian didn't notice the section over his neck, but he also knew the boy to be very observant much like himself. Whatever the case, that was the least of his worries and the first thing he needed was a shower.

Gathered and inside the back of a prison wagon, both Luke Fox and Dinah Lance sat side by side as the horses up front trotted along, and the wheels spinning over the dirt road. Aside from them were five others, all of which ogre prisoners tied down by chains just as Dinah and Luke. The entire ride neither had said much as they didn't want either the other prisoners or those up front eavesdropping on their conversations but by then there had been something on her mind that she really wanted to get off her chest.
"Fiancée... really, that's the best you could come up with?" Dinah's eyes rolled as her head fell back against the steel bars.
Luke only glimpsed at her from the corner of his eyes as he too leaned back and took a deep breath. His orbs ventured outward passed the bars as a huge city came into view while they were pulled along over a hill. It was huge but no construct larger than what was at the center of it all and looked to be a castle. This eye popping landmark was surely Vindellorien and it was more glorious than either of them could envision.
"It's not like I had time to think up much else and besides that's what came in the moment. The blade was to your throat and I had to do something. Of all things to worry and complain about I..."
"I'm not complaining," Dinah sighed with half a smile. "Thanks for that, I mean having my back. Until we find a way out of this we need to stay close, long as we do that we'll be fine."
Luke returned her smile and looked her in the face.
"Seconded, but let's hope it's not for long."
The wagon slowed up as the twenty foot gates to the kingdom of Vindellorien opened and as the leading horses picked up momentum as the wagon dashed through. They were taken to the palace where they were then escorted into prison cells with their wrists bounded by chains. Blood samples were taken from both Dinah and Luke before they were locked in cells across from each other. And with Arlo at her side Isla entered the throne room where both the queen and queen awaited them. Both elves bowed to their mother and father before rising. The king had short blond hair with purple colored eyes, a beard and mustache, wearing a brown medieval styled uniform and red cape. The woman beside him and the queen of Vindellorien had dark brown eyes, long green hair dressed in a dark gray gown, both wearing crowns over their heads to represent their position in the kingdom. Their names were Delbert Hayhurst, the king and Avis Hayhurst, the queen.
"I'm thrilled to see you've returned in one piece my daughter," the king rose from his throne chair and made his way down the steps. "How did things fall, are you in good health?"
He embraced and hugged his third child as she did the same back, and at just the age of twenty five Isla Hayhurst was lieutenant general of the entire Vindellorien army. And her brother Arlo who was four years older had taken on the role of admiral, controlling an entirely different faction of the kingdom's armed forces. Showing interest in battle and protecting their home kingdom at such a young age, the king granted both their wishes as they were trained and given the knowledge it would take to succeed, sometimes studying for hours at a time.
"I'm fine, thanks for your concern. Cecily's gathered info was helpful in guiding us where we needed to go, but regrettably we were already too late as Ilon Kreing's beasts had already burned down the village and made off with something. As we speak a handful of his bandits reside in our prison. I'd like to interrogate them myself with your permission."
Nothing else was said as a door across the room opened and a lone woman entered, who was the sister of both Arlo and Isla as well as the princess of Vindellorien. She had long blond hair, pointy ears, a gold neck choker, blue dress with a gold pattern on sections of it and high heel shoes. She wore a gold crown over her head with pink heart shapes embedded within.
"Sienna," Isla smiled happily as she approached her older sister of two years. "I've missed you."
"As have I."
The two female elves embraced each other for a short while before Isla returned her attention to the king.
"Perhaps it is time we reach out to Galasso Romano," Delbert suggested with his shoulders lowered.
"Our alliance is with the dragons," Isla narrowed her eyes as she walked toward him. "Why waste our time and resources reaching out to the dogs?"
"An enemy of our enemy is also our closes friend... Ilon and his ogre soldiers have caused just as much trouble for the werewolves as they have us. Granted I understand how stubborn the dogs can be, but if they're willing to put our differences aside we could..."
"Our daughter is right, Delbert," the queen stood from her chair. "If we're to work with anyone, it shall be with the dragons. I shall prepare a messenger to be sent to their kingdom and schedule a meeting, a time and place agreed upon between us and their royals."
The room went silent for the next several seconds as both Isla, the king and even Arlo quietly deliberated what action to take. Sienna on the other hand preferred to stay out of kingdom decision making, but stayed knowledgeable on its affairs as one day she would become queen and the responsibilities would fall on her shoulders. Since the emperor's return seven years ago, the state of the yokai realm improved drastically but there was so much more progress to be made. Unless a wide realm threat, requesting his assist wasn't a consideration. There was a knock at the door which broke the silence and king Delbert gave him the permission to enter.
"Sorry to disturb you my lord," the individual dressed in white bowed his head before looking to Isla. "My lady we ran the blood tests on those two like you requested and the results are in."
"And?" Isla asked.
"There isn't a spec of ogre blood in either and their claims of being human well... they were telling the truth."
Not only Isla but Arlo bit down over his tongue while the king inspected them both closely with inquiring eyes. If they had been telling the truth about their species, then it was also possible their continued denial of Ilon Kreing might have been as well.
"Humans, in my kingdom!" Delbert raised his voice. "Can someone explain to me what this is all about?!"
Weeks later
Tezz was the building owner and overseeing the party get together, dressed perfectly as he always seemed to be. His true form was that of a legendary white tiger but he had taken on a human form, wearing a blue suit. He stood in front of the pool where mermaids and other yokai swam and played games. Taking his eyes off them he headed for a nearby grill where he worked thoroughly beside another, pushing processed meat from one end to the other with spontaneous grace.
"Nice thong," Tezz said without a hint of sarcasm.
The woman beside him was named Aika, her true form that of a werewolf and they had been close friends for quite some time. But sometimes he made her just want to sink through the ground and just disappear. There was no one better at bringing a smile to her face nor getting under her skin the way he did.
"Stop messing around, Tezz. This whole party of yours occurred at the last second and so I just grabbed whatever I could."
Tezz flipped a piece of wagyu beef so naturally like a professional.
"Oh come on Aika, those things make you look sexy, might just have to pick you up myself." The smirk began to peek out at the corners of his lips. "If you aren't taken already that is."
With a free pan in hand she smashed it against the back of his head as his eye balls bulged out of their sockets somewhat.
"Think I'm gonna leave now," Aika said glumly, with her shoulders lowered as she marched from him.
"Oh, stop!" Tezz laughed. "A pretty one like you should be used to it, come back I promise I'll stop," he moved up on her, nudging the werewolf with an elbow. "Besides, if anyone cat calls you can just sock them in the mouth, you have my permission."
Aika glanced around and felt a smile overtake as a few of the others gals around the pool pulled off their shirts, revealing the skimpy bikini tops beneath.
"You should feel right at home," Tez grinned returning to the grill.
Some of the by standing male partygoers marveled at the sight of this, a few of which werewolves drooling from their mouths and Aika rolled her eyes. She recognized some as college grads who were in the same class and it disgusted her to see them so mesmerized by something simple as a woman's body. These thoughts weren't for much longer as Tez's hired security approached, all dressed in either gray or black and wearing shades. There was another amongst them who wasn't on the guest list who Tez and many others around the pool area immediately recognized and bowed their heads.
"Your majesty," Tez did the same. "I'm quite honored that you'd consider stopping by one of my events, who referenced you if you don't mind me asking?"
The emperor didn't respond immediately as his eyes ventured forward and over the many women surrounding the pool area, and naturally Tez noticed this and snickered.
"Quite the lovely bunch, aren't they?" Tez grinned.
"I'm in search of someone," Apollo's eyes fell over the host. "Sorry to say I'm not here for the festivities. Is this all your guests?"
Tez quickly shook his head.
"Not even close, there's another couple hundred inside the domain and you're free to look around and don't be afraid to get a bite to eat if you change your…"
Tez was cut off as a couple of the women around the pool moved up and crowded the emperor as they began taking selfies. Apollo remained patient through the entirety of this and the only thing on his mind was to find her, Akasha. In just the past three hours this was nearly the twentieth establishment he stopped by and it would never end until he had found her. Others within his firm carrying the precise skills to do so also performed searches of their own to cover ground in a shorter amount of time but it had been weeks and still nothing.

An individual standing at 6'3 trailed behind a woman with dark colored hair extending past her shoulders, blue eyes, and about average height. She wore a blue skirt, brown boots and green blouse. They trotted through the crowds and made their way to the front. They were one of best reporter duos in Metropolis. Clark wore a dark gray suit, red tie, under white shirt and black shoes. Lois Lane looked around for superstars to interview as the main event had just ended. Celebrities from all over were in attendance as she led the way, Lois spotting people she'd only seen on T.V. and others that she ran into at other events.
"Clark, the stars are right over that way, let's get an interview." Lois looked back at him.
"You lead the way," he replied following close behind her.
Clark took only two steps before another woman appeared out of nowhere and pulled him aside and through the crowds and he made no attempt to stop her. It wasn't until they were halfway across the room that she turned and faced him.
"Hello, Kent," she snickered with a hand to her mouth. "Enjoying your evening."
With his hands situated inside his pockets Clark blinked a couple times trying to recall where he'd seen this woman before but he couldn't put a name with the face. She had long brown hair and hazel gold colored eyes wearing a black blouse, dark purple skirt and black boots.
"Excuse my lack of memory but where is it we met? What is your name?" Clark inquired.
"Oh we've met maybe once or twice, but never had much time to speak," she threw her hair back with a chuckle. "I'm a friend of Bruce Wayne's or should I say... mistress."
She winked and it was in that moment he began to paint a picture as to who this woman was, recognizing her voice.
"You look confused," she chuckled some more. "How about I help you out, Clark or should I say... Superman."
The kryptonian bit back but held his posture and maintained his expression as if not to concede to this woman's notion.
"Excuse me?" Clark looked down on her.
"Oh please don't try and act like you don't know what I'm talking about, you have quite the poker face but it isn't as effective as his," the woman rolled her eyes. "Bruce Wayne, I know he's Batman."
"Come again?" Clark again asked but with more authority in his voice this time around.
"No fun, I love a man that can unravel the puzzle and put the pieces back together in and solve the puzzle," the woman pouted. "But I suppose we can't all be the world's greatest detective. But alrighty, it's me, Morrigan."
"I know who you are," Clark moved up slightly. "Your voice and heartbeat are distinguishable. Bruce told you?"
The succubus stared at him with question and contemplated if he'd known the whole time.
"Not exactly, I've known about his and your civilian personas from years back when he and I first slept together. I'm a succubus hun, and through physical passion we can dive into the minds and spirits of our lovers... my only intent originally was to discover what sort of man he was, but then I found myself diving further and further."
"Meaning?" Clark crossed his arms.
"My purpose wasn't to uncover as much as I did, such as you, Barry Allen, Diana Prince and others of his allies. Don't worry dear, that's far as I went, I don't know any of your league's secrets and since I've returned I promised Bruce I would never dive into his mind again unless he asked," Morrigan replied.
"You've been sleeping with him?"
"Uh huh, and it's been wonderful," the succubus groaned at just the thought of it. "And I'd even go off on a limb and say he's even better at it than the first time we were together, just the way he..."
Clark coughed clearing his throat.
"Details are unnecessary. Why are you here?"
"To enjoy the festivities obviously, but I'm also here to meet a friend, someone that can help us with our most recent dilemma with Q-Bee. She was one of the main performers, hiding out in human form. I couldn't believe when I checked the names of the press that would be in attendance and saw yours, the little girl in me jumped up and down and screamed."
Without warning Morrigan snatched the glasses off his nose and placed it over her eyes.
"Don't I look like a sexy librarian like this?" Morrigan flashed her eyebrows.
In the blink of an eye the glasses were removed from her and back over his eyes.
"Very funny," Clark glared.
"So fast," her eyes widened before a snicker escaped her lips. "Hope it isn't that way in bed."
"I beg your pardon me?"
"Oh please," she moved in on and rubbed against Kal. "You heard me loud and clear, super hearing. I know deep down you want to try me out, don't you? I bet your super rod is nice firm and sturdy."
The succubus trailed her hand down over his chest.
"What woman wouldn't want Superman," she chortled as her hand neared down passed his waist and he firmly took hold of her wrist.
"Not interested even in the slightest," Clark frowned.
The succubus playfully slapped at his shoulder as she backed off, purposely spinning her body around as her chest bounced up.
"Be honest with yourself, you know you want all this and I hear you have x-ray vision, well here's your chance to take a peak... you have my permission."
Morrigan turned her back to him in leaning forward as she spun her backside in front of his face.
"I'll let you take me from the back, and unlike other women you wouldn't have to hold back, you could pound and pound till your heart's content. Or I could ride you like a bull if you prefer," she winked.
"Enough of this!" Clark turned the opposite direction to her and took only a step before she jumped in front of him as their eyes met.
Her eyes glowed somewhat and he felt the world stop around him and for some unknown reason all his thoughts ceased as all he could think about was her and his blood burning with desire and lust.
"How about a kiss?" Morrigan asked.
"I... ah."
"That wasn't an answer Clark darling, do you want to kiss your lover?"
He didn't want to say it but his blood was boiling and stared at her lips and imagined his ravishing them.
"Yes," he replied without any fight left in him.
"Good, then pucker up."
Morrigan grabbed and pulled at his tie as he lowered his head and when their lips were just inches apart the succubus laughed.
"Not, just kidding, hehe."
Her eyes flashed again as Clark came back to his senses and grumbling as he ran a hand over his head.
"What... what did you just do I had no..."
"No control over yourself, hehe. That's what a succubi of my level is capable of doing, even to one as physically and mentally powerful as yourself. Fret not, I admire you like so many others and you're quite dashing and handsome but even succubi have their boundaries when they've found a man they love."
"Are you referring to Bruce?"
The succubus simply nodded as she breathed out.
"Family and friends are absolutely off limits, and he views you as a brother. And of course he didn't tell you this, but I could feel it in his very being. Humans can be so dull, boring and predictable... especially men, their wants and needs are tied to women, money or power, but not him. He's truly a soldier and fighter, striving to improve this world anyway that he can and would gladly put his life on the line. That's primarily why I'm so attracted to him, aside from his charm and skills in bed," the succubus chuckled.
It wasn't something she voiced out loud but felt the trans she'd taken him under moments ago might have lasted an hour to two at most before he broke free. Others of the most powerful monster species would be under her control for long as she pleased which intrigued her about the kryptonian's biology.
"Who is this friend you're here to meet?" Clark asked.
"Oh yeah, that."
Morrigan took hold of Clark's hand as she pulled him along through the crowds. They came to an eventual stop in front of a dressing room where a guard blocked the path and wouldn't allow them entry, but the succubus charmed him as he stepped aside.
"Did you just..."
"Take him under my control," she cut him off with a snicker. "I did, now let's hurry so you can get back to miss Lane."
Clark wanted to just march away and head off on his own, but instead followed her inside. As they made their way down the hall and pushed open the door they came up on a woman with her back to them and brushing her long blue hair, dressed in a white robe.
"Felicia," Morrigan called out to her.
The woman immediately dropped the comb as she spun around in the chair and eyed the succubi. And though she was also in disguise, the cat woman knew her voice all too well.
"Morrigan, is that you?!" she jumped up.
"It is."
Without restraint Felicia dashed forward as she took Morrigan's hands into her own as they jumped up and down like school girls as they shouted each other's names while Clark scratched at his head watching. The cat woman wore a magical wristband which enabled her to take on a human form and after a few moments they came to a calm.
"I can't believe you're here! But it's so good to see you," Felicia looked to Clark from the corner of her eye. "Who's he?"
"Just a reporter," Morrigan answered quickly. "I need your help with something, will you lend a hand, old friend?"

He had just gotten off the phone dealing with a costumer complaint when Marin Kawamoto approached him with a smirk.
"What up?" Gin asked.
"There's someone here in the diner to see you."
"In the diner, aren't we closed?"
Only smiling she walked off and left him and the werewolf didn't exactly know what to make of this and so just headed for the dining area. He was surprised to see who awaited him, but it was certainly a pleasant surprise as he took a seat across from him.
"Tsukune my man, how's married life been treating you?"
"There's been adjustments obviously, but I've really enjoyed our time together and look forward to what the future has instore for Moka-san and I. The living arrangements came easily as we discussed the details of that beforehand."
"That's good, I'm really happy for you two and I hope it works out and I'm sure that it will. But this is somewhat a surprise, you showing up here out of the blue, everything alright? You need my help at the academy or something?" the werewolf inquired.
Across the room San Otonashi wiped down some of the tables while another employee took care of all the trash, vacuuming over the carpet even.
"No, it's nothing like that and I've only got around to telling Kurumu and Yukari-chan and both expressed interest in making the trip. There's something that happened in the yokai realm recently and a series of occurrences here in the human world that I believe are connected. I don't know yet if Fairy Tale are the ones behind it, but we've confirmed it is the work of yokai. Batman encountered one of the small groups that we believe are connected on a much larger scale."
"Batman, as in Gotham city... the one from years ago? That Batman, I had no idea you kept contact.
Tsukune only nodded as her grazed his fingers over his trousers.
"We didn't. He showed up during the cruise with urgent information."
Try as he might, the werewolf couldn't stop himself from laughing.
"Isn't that rich," Gin laughed some more as he banged his hand over the table. "The Batman crashing your honeymoon, boy I can see it now Moka must have been pissed!"
The werewolf was more than amused at hearing this and Tsukune waited for his giggles to cease before continuing.
"Believe it or not, she wasn't at all upset but that's far passed the point. Bear with me because what I'm about to tell you has two parts," Tsukune took a deep breath in thinking about how he should break this news. "That night seven years ago, the night Akasha-san sacrificed herself in that chamber... well it turns out she survived."
"What?!" Gin's eyes jetted open.
"And that isn't all, Akasha also gave birth to a child and it's his... Batman's. The two had a secret relationship. Kurumu-chan, I and Moka-san already know his true identity and I'll tell you only for the sake of making things less complicated down the line, but this must stay between us. You cannot tell anyone."
The werewolf only shook his head as he was in shock, yet confused at the same time.
"Bruce Wayne, he's the..."
"The billionaire CEO of Wayne Enterprises," Gin ran both hands over his face. "Wow, wow I can't believe I'm hearing this. Wayne is Batman and now I find Moka's mother had a relationship with him and got knocked up, sounds like serious drama. This is madness! And what about Apollo, have you brought this to his attention?"
"Some time ago, but I didn't go into details. He only knows Akasha is alive and that she had a child with Wayne."
"You didn't mention him being Batman?"
Tsukune only shook his head.
"Didn't, there's already so much on his plate and I didn't want to add to it. And if he knew about all that it might cause him to do something unpredicted, so best to keep it quiet for now. By now Apollo has without question sent someone to oversee and follow up on what we discussed. He'll want to confirm Sasha exists, that's her name by the way; what Akasha-san named her. And as it stands no one knows where she is or where she's been hiding all these years. In some crazy way fate was at work bringing Sasha and her father together, and as I told you before it was him that confronted one of these suspicious yokai groups..."
"And Sasha was among them," Gin sounded figuring it out for himself. "Wow, talk about coincidence. Have you seen her?"
Tsukune sat forward with his hands atop the table.
"That's partially why I'm here, Moka-san and I will be making a trip to Gotham within the next couple weeks to not only see her but collaborate with Batman on what we believe Fairy Tale is behind. The other yokai that separated from Sasha during their encounter with Batman was a vampire by the name of Jitoshi Ichiro, who was affiliated with Fairy Tale."
"Huh, it was just a matter of time before those bastards resurfaced," Gin cracked his knuckles. "If it's them we're dealing with than you can count me in."
Tsukune was just about to speak when San came up on Gin massaging a hand over his shoulder with a knowing look in her eyes, and the werewolf stood as he brought his lips to her right ear.
"Leave your door unlocked," he whispered as she grinned.
The werewolf dropped back down into his seat as she took off toward the nearest exit and winked at him before turning the corner and Tsukune perceived this exchange with questioning eyes but said nothing.
"And what about Akasha?" Gin asked.
"For now I'm leaving it in the hands of Apollo, he'll find her and she'll have a lot to answer for," Tsukune answered.

Thunder and lightning struck from outside his window waking him from deep sleep as he had another nightmare that he seemed to dream ever so often. It was just after a late showing at a theater as he and his parents departed and he ran ahead. It always ended the same with them in the alley and both Thomas and Martha shot dead right in front of him. Bruce rolled over on his side as lightning again struck and standing beside his bed with a teddy bear in hand was Sasha.
"Daddy, I'm scared," she trembled looking up at him.
This came as a surprise that she'd scare from something such as a storm, but it put into perspective and reminded him that she was only a child, a vampire or not. This brought a smile to his face as he moved over giving her just enough space as she jumped up. The vampire curled up next to him with the stuffed animal held tight over her chest and she fell asleep in a couple short minutes as he gently ran a hand through her hair.
It had been a little over two months since Sasha joined their family and in that time Jitoshi nor anyone surfaced in search for her. This did come as a surprise and he was ready for him or anyone if that were to occur. Since those years back he had researched many of Fairy Tale's head members, but none more than Akua Shuzen who intrigued him with the Jigen Tou dimensional blade and her overall fighting style. He didn't know whether or not since then if he'd ever clash with the band of yokai in the future, but that didn't stop him from building an in depth profile on each of its primary members. In just two weeks about they would arrive in Gotham, Aono Moka and Tsukune. Throughout the many weeks he'd taken Sasha in his custody the vampire inquired about her sister at least every other day and if nothing else he was happy and excited for her.
Elsewhere and atop one of the many rooftops in Bludhaven sat two persons with a basket of food and drinks. With the way both lived their lives it was difficult on their personal relationship, but they found a way to make it work. There were a couple scattered clouds throughout the sky and a full moon with a slight breeze but the atmosphere was more than enjoyable for the party of two. Together they finished all condiments inside the basket and pushed it aside, the two of them sitting over a long blanket.
The first was a woman with bright green colored eyes, tan skin, with long red hair. She wore blue jeans with a light purple blouse and the one opposite her was a male with fair skin, black hair and blue eyes. He wore green pants and a black t-shirt which showed off his athletic frame nicely. He drank what remained in the bottle before lowering it and turning his attention to the woman beside him as their gazes locked with each other's.
"This was refreshing, Kori. No bad guys, no loud bangs... just you and me in peace."
"I know," the Tamaranean situated on her side as she trailed a hand over the side of his face. "Are you sure we can't try us again."
Her voice came out in a whisper and the mood couldn't have been more romantic. He didn't have the opportunity to respond as something rang in her left pocket and she sat up over Grayson with a single hand over his chest and looked over the message that was not only forwarded to her but all the titans.
"What is it, what's wrong?" Grayson perceived the annoyance in her expression.
"It's Beast Boy," Starfire rolled her eyes. "Robin's called a team meeting and says it's important."
"Damn you Damian, at a time like now..." Dick murmured under his breath.
Kori looked over his expression and it wasn't short of disappointment.
"I'm sorry about this, I know we've had this night planned over a week. If the get together concludes in a timely fashion I'll return and we can pick up where we left off, if not we'll just have to reschedule. But whatever the case, I'll definitely make it worthwhile."
"Worthwhile huh, I like the sound of that."
He pushed up as she remained sitting and he kissed at her forehead. This moment was however short as they were interrupted by a loud thud and Starfire immediately jumped up beside Richard Grayson as three women stood across from them, having appeared from a neighboring building. The first was a woman with fair skin standing at 5'9, long purple hair, red eyes with slit pupils, and she wore silver lightweight armor. Her stomach was left exposed and she also wore silver boots.
The second had brown skin standing at 5'7, red eyes with slit pupils, light green hair. She wore a red tunic, black skirt and black boots with a necklace hanging around her neck. Lastly was a woman standing at 5'9, red eyes with slit pupils, shoulder length light blonde hair with streaks of red and blue, and she wore a black tight body suit of spandex.
"I've... I've fought against them before!" Dick shouted as he jumped in a fighting stance. "They're vampires!"
"When and where?" Starfire asked as she too got into a defensive stance but created starbolts as she readied herself to fight. "What are their names?"
"That I don't recall," Grayson responded.
With one foot shoved into the ground Starfire didn't care to know the details of who or why until after they had first been taken down. As Kori took off into the air another individual appeared from up high, but in a dark red cloak with hood/cape combination. She stood with a hand situated out in front of her.
"Stop, we do not wish to fight!" the hooded woman clarified as Starfire came to a sliding stop. "I'm here only to talk."
"What about?" Starfire didn't sound convinced, still with the green energy circulating around her hands.
The cloaked woman removed the hood from her head having pale skin, dark black eyes, long raven hair and a red bow tied in her hair. Lastly was a shiny silver choker around her neck. She looked passed the Tamaranean and to the man standing behind her and took steps toward him but Starfire quickly cut off her path.
"What're you doing?"
"I must speak with him," the pale woman responded.
Grayson raised an eyebrow at this comment as he didn't recognize this woman unlike the three standing behind her and he couldn't think of any reasons why a pack of vampires would have interest in talking with him.
"I don't think so!" Starfire shot back.
"Grayson... Richard Grayson," the pale woman looked passed Starfire and to the man. "That is your name, isn't it?"
Both Starfire and dick bit down as this woman had mentioned him by name and so he took a deep breath stepping forward and tapping at Starfire's shoulder.
"It's okay Kori, I want to hear what this woman has to say," Grayson moved in as Starfire lowered her hands and the energy around them disappeared. "Who are you and what do you want?"
The pale woman breathed deeply as she looked him off for a moment before her gaze returned to his.
"Have you seen the child... the child of your surrogate father, Bruce Wayne?"
Grayson's eyes narrowed at this question.
"Seen, yeah sure on television who hasn't. He adopted her from somewhere in Japan, but if you mean seen, seen then no. I haven't visited Gotham in close to four months, whatsup?"
A snicker escaped the pale woman's mouth as she knew he deceived the masses but didn't think he'd keep it from those closes to him.
"Have you phoned him since that child turned up?"
"No, I haven't. But what's with all the questions of the orphan girl?"
Grayson felt the atmosphere around them become intense as he stood his ground.
"Then that explains why you're in the dark to the truth. That child is no orphan and believe me I couldn't believe my eyes when catching reruns of the Global Industry Expo held in Gotham. I'm not one much for television but there was something going around social media about a young girl, that masses were raving about. Headlines reading newest member to the Wayne family, Bruce Wayne adopts. I took a look for myself and... and I cried and cried. I couldn't confirm by the photos or even videos, but deep down in my heart I knew that little girl was mine, my baby girl was alive!"
Dick stepped back with muddled eyes, becoming more and more lost with each word that came out of this woman's mouth.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Dick inquired.
"I won't go into details as of the moment, as it isn't what's essential right now but around the time she was eight months a catastrophe transpired and I believed her dead... but somehow she survived and by some miracle from the heavens she ended up in the safekeeping of her father. But that doesn't explain where she's been for most these years or how she came into contact with him," the pale woman stumbled over her words as she began crying.
Both Grayson and Starfire looked at one another, sharing a similar expression before his eyes again fell on the woman.
"Sorry, I'm so sorry," she wiped away the tears from her eyes.
"You said that girl ended up in the custody of her father," Dick's eyes narrowed. "Are you seriously implying that Bruce is her biological father?"
The pale woman simply nodded as she straightened her posture.
"Precisely and I'm sure he knows this or he wouldn't have taken her in. A vampire or any yokai carries an aura that can be tracked and when I learned of this child I traveled straight to Gotham. I didn't meet with her face to face, but I got close enough to confirm she's yokai. Like I said before I'm unmindful to events which led to she and Bruce coming together, but he's without a doubt her father."
"And how exactly would you know this?" Grayson crossed his arms not persuaded.
"Because I... I'm her mother."
The pale woman reached for the choker around her neck and pulled it loose as a blinding light surrounded her body while both Starfire and Nightwing looked away. And when it died down the woman's appearance had changed, her pale skin much brighter, lively and with a creamy complexion. Her dark eyes had changed to a bright green and her raven colored hair pink and Grayson stood with wide eyes.
"You're... Akasha, the Dark Lord! But, but you died! How're you here, alive?!"
"That's what I led everyone to believe that night for my own personal reasons, but we'll get to that later. I survived closing Vheuto lazz and only they, the Asagaothree and a select few others know of what really happened that night," Akasha pointed to the three women standing behind her. "But back to the point, and I don't know what Bruce told you about me over the years but I was in love with him. Terrible decisions by myself led to him breaking things off with me, but by then it was already too late. I was carrying his child, but I didn't realize this until roughly two weeks after the night I closed Vheuto lazz."
In taking another single step back Grayson bit down over his tongue as he took time to take in all this information.
"You and the boss were an item?"
"We were," Akasha nodded. "For months and I was deeply in love with him, planning a future that included a family and us as mates. Where I've been and why is unimportant for now, but you're probably wondering why I've chose now of all times to resurface. Believe me I've been tempted to do so various times through the last several years and no instant more tempting than Moka's wedding."
Grayson's eye lashes lashed at this as he smiled, recalling encounters with the silver haired vampire.
"She got married, to who? And how were you able to attend if you've been in hiding?"
Akasha simply waved the small choker in front of him.
"Aono Tsukune. And this item is of great magical power and it not only changes my physical appearance significantly, but suppresses my yokai prowess completely. But this, realizing my little Sasha lives was the last straw... she deserves to know both her mother and father. There's that and more importantly by now or soon I have to imagine Bruce would reach out to Moka and..."
"She'd know her mother was alive because of the child," Grayson cut in. "But there's one thing that I don't understand, why here, why me? Why not just go to him, Bruce?"
The pink haired vampire looked him off with sadness and regret in her eyes.
"Like I told you before I did really bad things and there was even a misunderstanding, one that I don't believe ever got cleared up. I would likely be viewed as an enemy if I showed up at his front door and that would garner unnecessary tension. I wish to reconcile and patch things up with him as well."
Unlike Moka and Tsukune Dick wasn't at all surprised to discover the Dark Lord and Bruce were in a secret relationship. The only thing that puzzled him was a child came out of it.
"Stop me if I'm wrong, but you essentially want me to be present when you show yourself?" he found it to be quite the peculiar request, but understood why. "When?"
"Whenever you can, soon as possible," Akasha responded.
With his shoulders lowered and taking a deep breath, Grayson looked back at Starfire who held a blank expression as she was unaware to all that was happening.
"Sure, I'll catch a flight to Gotham first thing in the morning."
"Thank you," Akasha said happily, clasping her hands together.
From there the vampire introduced herself to Starfire who did the same, while Miukei, Lailay and Selene stepped forward and did the same. Though Richard Grayson didn't know the Dark Lord on a personal level, he was interested to hear where she'd been and how Akasha and the child got separated and her ending up in the care of Bruce Wayne who was her biological father.

The group of ten had touched down over the island of Aeaea, having reached out to the sorceress hours in advance and their probe to meet being accepted. The surrounding was beyond spectacular with the oceans a bright blue and the air fresh while the bushes, trees and grass were a lively green. All together the group of ten proceeded over the beach front and toward what looked to be a palace. The main door opened on its own as they loomed through and it was Akua Shuzen and Kuyo that looked at one another, but Ched Vlet led them inside. With some of the other recruits he was okay with leaving it to his pupils to handle, but with this one he felt it important that he take charge. And so for the next couple minutes they were quiet as they walked the hall but kept their guard up.
With who they were dealing with Ched assumed it best to expect the unexpected and stories said she was over ten thousand years old. They moved along through the halls as a staircase came into view out in front of them which they took. Vlet felt the pressure of succeeding weighing heavy over him and refused to make the same mistakes his father had. Both his father and grandfather had been too arrogant and didn't prepare accordingly, taking into account outside obstacles and interventions which led to their demises. Upon reaching the upper level they walked out over a green carpet leading down a long hall with lanterns hanging from the walls. As with the entrance doors out front the large double doors opened on their own as the members of Fairy Tale braced themselves/
As they stepped through into the large space each spotted the woman they had come to converse with and discuss terms. Sitting atop a throne chair with one leg crossed over the other, she held a gold glass of wine in her hand. She had long purple hair, red eyes and dressed in green with boots of similar color. Ched led as they moved in closer and he bowed his head as he stopped a foot short of her throne chair.
"And you must be Ched Vlet," the sorceress looked down on him. "You claimed you had a proposition, speak."
For a little while he just looked up at her and had no idea she'd be so physically eye-catching, but it wasn't a surprise based on the tales and myths which had been told for ages about Circe and the island of Aeaea.
"Everyone with a vision has a plan, and I am a man of great vision and for spotting talent. You Circe, are exactly what Fairy Tale needs to combat against these god like beings to accomplish what is necessary for a better world. I am here today to ask that you join us in this revolution, and help in disposing of those who wish to stop us. There is one in particular you know quite well... the princess of Themyscira. I'm certain wiping her off the face of this world is something you'd welcome, and with your magic prowess you would undoubtedly rank as Fairy Tale's most powerful member. You would be given plenty of compensation down the line."
"Tempted, I despise nothing in this world more than Hippolyta and that child of hers, Diana. But my answer really comes down to one thing," the sorceress took a sip of what was inside the cup. "What are you planning?"
Ched coughed clearing his throat to speak but it was Kiria Yoshii that took a step forward with intent to take the lead.
"Please Vlet, let me," Kiria rubbed his hands together as he looked her in the eyes. "In short we're talking world domination, shaping it as we see fit and seeking to open the realm of Zelliatos so that the king of this newly shaped world shall rein upon it. There would be an important position and place in it for someone of your talents and abilities, that's a given... this isn't an opportunity you want to turn down."
