Diana Prince, the Golden Road - New Camelot
"It's as beautiful as I remember it," said the Amazon princess, as she walked along the wide path in the direction of the palace
The golden road was the main avenue of the city, protected by magical automatons, both terrestrial and aerial, which maintained the order and security of the place
"I’m never been in New Camelot, I see the rumors don't do it justice," Zatanna said cautiously, as she looked around in wonder
Wizards and witches, dressed in elegant and luxurious robes, walked calmly along the street, observing the shops and the magical products offered
"For God's sake, look at that!" Robin said in amazement, as he pointed towards a huge store that screamed luxury everywhere
In it, brand new racing brooms were displayed that levitated gently on glass shelves, while children and some adults watched them with evident desire
"Racing brooms, young wizards use them for entertainment and transport, they can fly at great speeds, there is a sport that uses them," Zatanna said to the young heroes, who nodded with obvious interest
Connor in particular
"This place is amazing," Superman said with obvious respect, looking with great curiosity at a store of enchanted items
"The supreme one built the Holy Capital after the fall of the Dark Lord, he brought the Great Unification to the Wizarding World," Tinky said, the devotion to his father was more than evident
"Oh look at that, Bruce dear, will you buy me those dresses? I promise to model them for you” Selina's purr, while her eyes did not stop shining as she looked at the frankly sublime and perfect dresses on the counter
“Lavender’s Secret, Haute Couture" Zatanna said aloud, not recognizing the name, but appreciating the works of art called dresses that were on display, there were no mannequins and even so, the dresses moved on their own, posing in huge and luxurious windows, attracting future customers
And considering the huge queue to get into the store, it was working, women of all ages and ethnicities talking placidly as they waited for their turn, Diana recognized outfits from all over the world
Living in total harmony, chatting like old friends, something difficult to see outside this beautiful city, sadly
Sometime later and several streets ahead, the visitors left the commercial area and arrived at a huge circular platform that levitated without any noise, magical in nature, in it, there was a bay with decans of bronze made capsules, in which people went in and out constantly and used them to move around the city, like some kind of magical train
A very fast one, considering that the pods move like jets, thought Diana with surprise, this was not here in the past
"That's too small for so many people," Robin said cautiously as he saw fifty people enter the same tiny capsule, which began to levitate and fly to another part of the city
Diana, absently and with her vision focused on the Palace, responded
"Expansion Charms, designed to be bigger inside," said the beautiful princess, as she began to walk towards a particular platform, which was separated from the rest
"Oh," said Robin, as they advanced with the garter following Wonder Woman, as soon as the last member of the visitors entered the platform, it closed its doors and, without warning, began to rise towards the gates of the imposing palace
The ascent was simply beautiful, when she visited Harry in the past she always came directly to his tower and never used the main entrance
The vision of New Camelot was simply spectacular, an artificial island surrounded by a sea of clouds, the magical capital of the World
"This place is huge," Superman said to himself, surprised that he had never heard or seen this place
“An artificial island made of twenty kilometers of celestial bronze and divine steel, floating hidden in the skies of the Atlantic Ocean thanks to powerful enchantments and runic clusters that fill the entire island with energy, magic and life, all linked to the heart of the island, the Palace of Dawn, an artificial magical nexus created by the Sorcerer Supreme during his ascent, the castle was key in the great unification," said Tinky with evident pride and excitement to be able to share part of its history
Diana at his side nodded softly and said
"The city has grown since the last time I was here, that huge building didn't exist," said the princess, while frowning in confusion
"That is the center of stellar exploration and planetary defense, our glorious monarch had a... peculiar encounter with a completely insane alien princess and an alien fleet, that department was born as a response to that incident," Tinky said, drawing the attention of the entire league
“Alien fleet? When did that happen? The league has no report on such an incident," Batman said with some concern and reproach.
Tinky simply looked at Bruce as he turned his head to the side
"The thwarted invasion of the Khund three years ago," Tinky said to the bat, in a slow tone of voice, as if talking to a small child
Diana snorted and even Clark laughed softly at the sight of Bruce frowning while his head vein was popping, the Amazon had no doubt that Bruce's blood pressure had risen at the action of the small automaton
However, before her friend could respond, the platform they were traveling on reached its destination, leaving all the superheroes present breathless
"Shit," Connor said surprised, and no one reprimanded him, everyone was equally surprised or dumbfounded at what they were looking at
Diana just rolled her eyes, for her it was just coming home after a long time
"Welcome to the Palace of Dawn," Tinky said, while giving a powerful applause, and the huge doors opened slowly
Diana smiled softly, it seemed, Harry's dramatic streak had only grown during these separated years and he had passed it on to Tinky
The group of visitors entered the huge and magical palace, hundreds or even thousands of wizards, witches, and magical beings were moving with precision and efficiency
“OHHH LOOK AT THAT UNICORNS!” Wally said excitedly, as he saw a herd of majestic beings walk through the corridors with elegance, their ethereal demeanor made them attract attention wherever they passed
"They are unicorns and they are an intelligent magical species, they communicate through thoughts, one of the tasks of the sorcerer supreme is to keep the forest sanctuaries protected and healthy," Tinky expressed with emotion, making Wally nod and look at the majestic beings with more respect
"Does Harry have a court session today?" Diana asked curiously, making the group to look at her, although the Amazon princess's eyes were totally on the tiny automaton
Tinky nodded
"Yes, the Veela Nation and the Goblin Nation sent representatives for certain requests, though I don't know the nature of it," said the little being
“I feel weird in here...I don't like it in this place," Clark said, as he frowned and looked at his hands cautiously, while Bruce looked around in total silence, analyzing every detail of the imposing palace
"We've arrived!" Tinky said, snapping his fingers and causing the doors of the throne room to open
The throne room of New Camelot was... simply incredible, it was charmed to pretend to be in an open sky, with a huge platform where the Throne of New Camelot was located, with her handsome wizard sitting on it
As was customary, his throne was guarded by a pair of red furies, clad in their powerful armor and their characteristic blood-red robes, looking beautiful, elegant and dangerous, while all around, luxurious steps rose imposingly, with one hundred and fifty comfortable chairs, one for each vassal ministry of New Camelot, giving an appearance of overwhelming power to any visitor to the city
"How ostentatious," Bruce said with a frown, while Selina purred at the stupid number of shiny things she was looking at
"Oh Bruce, is this supreme sorcerer your friend? there many things I wish I had" purred the former thief, her eyes seeming to sparkle as she looked at the huge emerald in the furies' necks
"Come on," said Tinky, as his mechanical feet began to walk towards the center of the room
As they walked, Diana couldn't help but hear part of the conversation
"We ask the supreme sorcerer to extend the mining permits, we believe that we are in a particularly big vein," said the goblin representative
Before Harry could answer, however, a beautiful blonde woman, a veela, probably the representative of the conclave, intervened
"The mining rights of our island are not in dispute, we will not destroy our beautiful landscape or deprive our Abraxan of their habitat just because of Rangrok's ambition," said the woman with evident firmness and sharpness in her voice
The goblin looked at the woman with a frown as he opened his mouth and prepared to speak, however, Harry's magic was present, permeating the entire place with his magical power and silencing both of them at the same time
“OH... my” Selina said, as she swallowed hard and looked towards the throne cautiously, all the members of the league shuddered at the monstrous power they were feeling, even Clark was quite nervous in the city
"Enough," said her powerful and handsome man, as he stood up, his furies changed position, while they held their battle staffs
"Sunset Island is Conclave Territory and according to the treaty signed during the unification era, Queen Arianna has the right to deny your request for mining on the island, even if the deposit is made of celestial bronze," decreed the sorcerer supreme
Diana watched as the beautiful woman smiled pleased at the statement
"The Veela nation appreciates the words of New Camelot and reaffirms its loyalty to the throne" said the Veela while making an elegant bow
Harry nodded elegantly, as he focused his gaze on the obviously annoying Goblin
"However, three arcane mining barges will be assigned to the Goblin Nation to begin space mining, the Astral explorers have detected deposits of celestial bronze and various interesting metals in the asteroid belt, the Gringotts Mining Guild will be in charge of capturing and processing the metals, seventy percent of the raw material will be for New Camelot and thirty percent for the Goblin Nation," said the sorcerer supreme
At those words, whispers spread throughout the throne room, the emissary veela looked surprised, but the Goblin was frowning, evidently furious
"That's practically theft, the goblin nation..." the emissary began to shout, only to be silenced by a burst of magical power coming from Harry, who used his magic to exert pressure on the goblin's body, instantly silencing him and forcing him to kneel
“The goblin nation used more restrictive tariffs before the draconic reforms, I still don't forget the "sanction" that Rangrok implemented in the Potter vaults leaving them totally empty, including the incalculable works of art of my ancestors, nor the seizure of the gold of the Death Eaters arbitrarily, don't forget your place goblin, nor the actions of your comrades, you are a vassal, nothing more, and could be replaced at any time, Whether you accept the deal or not, I'm sure the dwarves will be more than satisfied with three extra mining barges that I've already assigned them to, one way or another, New Camelot will have its resources," the sorcerer supreme threatened. His face and voice remained serene, but his monstrously powerful magic was more than palpable in the place
Diana watched as Clark frowned and stepped to intervene, so she quickly raised a hand and blocked his path
"No, you don't have jurisdiction here," Diana said firmly, preventing Superman from intervening, much to his apparent chagrin
"Gringotts accepts the generous offer," the goblin snapped, as he knelt before the bronze throne
The magic gave way, making everyone in the room breathe easier, while Harry focused his gaze on them
"That will be all for today, in the next meeting we will discuss the details of the expeditions in the solar system, as well as the Genesis project, Dismissed," he ordered, as he stood up and came down from the throne
One by one, the ministers began to disappear, returning to their respective duties and countries, with only one exception, a beautiful and obviously dangerous woman, with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing an elegant and feminine green robe, adorned with silver jewels, someone familiar to Diana, who walked with total naturalness to Harry, and together they walked to them
Diana, against her will, couldn't help but frown
"An apology for the wait, there were certain matters that couldn't wait in court" said Harry, as he walked to the visitors being escorted by the vixen Greengrass, who, apparently, was a minister for magic
Although she wouldn't be surprised if the little bitch spread her legs for her man for a shred of political power, Greengrass had never had any scruples, always offering herself to her Harry even when they were a couple
Superman nodded politely and stepped forward, taking the floor
"Tinky summoned us, he says you have news about you know what," Superman said calmly, keeping, at least for the moment, his opinion on Harry's actions with the goblin emissary
The Sorcerer Supreme nodded and without saying a word, turned around and raising a hand, summoned a kind of emerald-colored magic vortex, walking towards it
"Follow me, Tinky entertain the brats, take them to the Training Room" ordered the sorcerer supreme without looking back, going through the portal
“What? But we're here, we can..." Robin's words died in his mouth as he was petrified by Tinky's magic, who had done the same to the rest of the young heroes
“Tinky will take care of the little ones, Oh Tinky will have a lot of fun with his new pupils!” The mechanic said to be, only to disappear an instant later, taking all the young men with him.
The whole league watched the action with suspicion and resignation
"Let's get this over with," Superman said, as he walked through the portal, being followed by Selina
"Come on dear, I want to observe that handsome and masculine king a little more," purred the thief, laughing with satisfaction at seeing the disgust on Bruce's face, as they passed through the portal, leaving Diana alone with Daphne
"Greengrass," Diana said coldly, swallowing the grimace of fury that threatened to emerge on her face at the sight of the satisfied face on the stupid English slut
"Prince, I see you're back, I'm surprised, to be honest," she said with that tone of superiority so characteristic of her
Diana responded casually
"Yes, now that Harry and New Camelot have emerged before the world, there's no reason why I can't go back to my man, I am pretty sure he has missed me" said the Amazon, totally sure that Harry still had feelings for her
Diana had felt his possessive eyes on her body like the good old days, and as soon as Giovanni's affair was over, everything would go back to normal, she will approach him about the union between Themyscira and New Camelot, and they will be back together
As everything should have been...
However, to Diana's surprise, Greengrass just laughed, a cruel and mocking sound, and then, she replied
"Oh dear, how optimistic you are; however, things have changed around here," said the blonde with that damn expression that Diana hated
“What do you mean Greengrass?” demanded the Amazon devoid of any emotion, although both knew that Diana exploded with fury inside
Greengrass only giggled, to the Amazonian’s fury
"I'll just say that, our beloved king's bed has remained warm in your absence, thank you for that, by the way, it was the push my lion needed" purred the blonde, filling Diana with fury, the impulse to take her sword and pierce the neck of this stupid bitch was strong
However, Greengrass turned around and nonchalantly began to walk towards the portal
"I'm bored of your presence Prince, come on, Harry waits, and we both know that you've always been a bitch to his desires," said the damn blonde, going through the portal, completely ignoring the titanic fury of the princess
And alone, Diana let out a cry of fury, for Zeus how she hated that damn English bitch
Alas, she had to calm down, the helmet issue was more important, Diana took a breath and pulled herself together, she wouldn't let the blonde bitch drive her crazy again
Calmly, Wonder Woman went through the portal, arriving at a familiar place, Harry's personal study, some things had changed, but the essence was the same, she had excellent memories of this place
From the desk in particular, where her man had taken her body thousands of times, when they gave free rein to their passion
However... as soon as Diana's eyes analyzed the situation, she notices something... Strange
There was absolute silence
Watching between Harry and Bruce, Selina took her man's arm possessively, while the bat had his surprised 0eyes fixed on a woman, someone familiar, who was sitting intimately next to Harry, while Greengrass positioned herself behind, looking at her mockingly in her ceruleans eyes
"What are you doing here, Talia?" Bruce asked with surprise in his voice
"Talia? Talia Al Ghul?” Diana asked aloud, as surprised as Bruce
"Talia Potter," said the dangerous woman, there was no mockery in her voice, only pure and cold truth, and ironically, that tone of finality was like a fucking dagger in Diana's stomach
It wasn't possible, it had to be a fucking lie, it wasn't possible, she thought to the Amazon to herself, even in denial of what she had just heard
This meeting would be... more explosive than they imagined
