Arius' Adventures in DC

Chapter 11: Curious Cat…

-Arius-

He sat on Catwoman's comfortable couch, the dim lights setting a calm mood with the scent of lavender and cat in the air, he'd seen three of those furry fucks already, but the one he was paying attention to was Selina Kyle who draped in her sleek leather outfit and sat close beside him. She hummed along with a song she put on as she trailied her slender fingers along his arm with a deliberate and teasing slowness.

As time passed he couldn't deny the growing tension between them, nor the weight of his thoughts as he mulled over the situation. For over a decade on Vyragos he had spent his adolescence and adulthood on a planet where the thing that most resembled anything female was an extra curvy piece of wood the rest, so with no opportunities or inclination to address his primal needs his body had adapted, suppressing those desires and burgers down entirely and after a certain time even he'd forgotten what lust felt like.

At least until Diana entered his life, of course his lust didn't just pop back up when he first arrived on Earth, but the amazon's constant presence over the past months had sparked something within him. It was a combination of everything from her strength and allure to her warrior-like mentality that clicked with his own. Her very presence brought about a feeling he hadn't ever felt in either life and then, before leaving for Themyscira she had kissed him. It was a simple gesture and had only been on the cheek, but it was the straw that broke the camel's back and the one that had ignited a furnace within him.

And now he was in the company of another very attractive woman, though he'd noted that in terms of appeal Diana seemed to match his preferences more, Catwoman's confidence and charm were undeniable and the woman clad in skin tight leather was making her intentions crystal clear. Feeling the way she pressed her body on him and the scent she was emitting to tempt him even further.

All that with the playful spark in her emerald-green eyes meant she was willing, alluring, and most importantly present.

He knew he should feel conflicted about contemplating sleeping with Catwoman, but Diana wasn't here and he wasn't sure where he stood with her. There had been no promises made, no clear lines drawn.

So he was going to do what he wanted and currently his baser instincts were screaming at him to seize the moment. Catwoman was there, offering him some comfort in a way he hadn't experienced. Her soft laugh pulled him from his thoughts, and when she leaned in, her lips brushing against his ear murmuring something playful he made his decision.

He wasn't proud of his reasoning, but it was simple. Diana was far away, and he wasn't the type to deny himself what life offered in the moment. His hand moved to Catwoman's waist, lifting her slim body and plopping her well formed ass on his lap as she smiled up at him knowingly, her plan clearly unfolding exactly as she intended.

In the back of his mind, he wondered how this would play out when Diana returned, but for now, in the quiet of the apartment, he let himself be pulled into the here and now, surrendering to a moment of indulgence that felt inevitable.

(Start of Lemon 18+ only: Skip if you want)

His first kiss with Catwoman was intoxicating, the dopamine rush that flooded through his body was almost as good as the one he got when he fought powerful opponents. He knew he wasn't a good kisser as this was his first real kiss in either life so he let her lead and as seconds turned into minutes he learned and adapted, guiding his tongue with smooth expertise and he kept exploring the mouth of Catwoman, the taste of her saliva and slight hint of berry flooding his mouth.

Eventually she pulled away and he chased not wanting it to end, alas in her current position she had a plentiful amount of space and pulled away more the smile on her face showing how amusing she found his attempt, "Geez, at first I thought you were a virgin with how awkward you were at first, but that kiss has this kitty purring, ~Meeeow~" She said as she grinded her tight ass on his crotch and though the feeling was dulled by the fabric on his new suit he still enjoyed the feeling.

"I am a virgin." Arius said without a hint of shame because while in his first life he was simply anti-social and had no real excuse for not sleeping with anyone, but in his current life he'd take pride in being a virgin because he was not going to resort to fucking animals and that was clearly not an answer she was expecting as she started at him mouth agape.

"You are?" She muttered in shock, but he wasn't going to allow anything to get in the way of some ass, so as she went to talk again most likely to ask another question Arius brought her into another heated kiss which she responded to with fervor and as they kissed he lifted himself briefly to lower his pants.

"Catwoman." He growled as he pulled back, feeling her shudder in his grasp, "I didn't come to talk, now get to sucking." He demanded feeling his urges growing by the second and despite the initial hesitance she nodded and unmounted him, dropping to the floor and pulling his pants down the rest of the way.

*Gasp*

She took in a sharp breath of air while looking at his member and at that moment it occurred to him that he might be a bit too big, but Catwoman didn't seem to think so as she quickly regained her composure and leaned forward licking his member from base to tip, slowly taking her time to really lather it on.

Arius had to bite his lips as he watched the feline themed heroine continue to lick his erect mast his eyes locked with her as if entranced she continued seemingly addicted to his taste, but all good things must come to an end as she stopped a couple later to take a deep breath.

She look up at him before reaching to the back of her neck and pulling her mask off fully showing her face and he had to admit she was a stunning woman with sharp seductive features, he just didn't expect her to have such short hair, but that didn't bother him much. Safe to say he didn't regret his choice whatsoever and she didn't either if the flush cheeks and the quickening her breath were any indication.

"It's so big~! I don't even know if I can fit it in my mouth…" She purred before leaning forward once more and though at first she struggled Catwoman eventually wrapped her smooth warm lips around the tip of his cock.

She worked her tongue as she bobbed her head slowly taking more and more of his length and the pleasure it brought was amazing for him, "God, you're amazing Catwoman." he said, but she seemed to be in a trance as her only focus was his member and seeing that she wasn't going to respond to any words he said he was going to reply with action.

Arius reached out and grasped her short black hair threading his finger through it as he pulled her further along his shaft making her take more and more of him.

The more he focused on the feeling the more the pleasure built. From the warmth of her lips, the wetness of her mouth mixed with the feeling of her tongue massaging his length and the way she pumped the rest of his length felt heavenly and she proved she wasn't done as she hummed in satisfaction. The vibrations only made it that much better as she quickened her pace.

While at first he assumed the sheer size of his dick was too much for any human, Catwoman seemed to prove him wrong as she continued pushing her head down taking up half his length down her gullet before coming back up while gasping for breath, but even while taking a chance to regain her breath she didn't let him go unattended as she worked her hands along his length looking at it in reverence and even though she wasn't using her mouth he was getting close.

After her break she goes back to work and quickly finds her rhythm breaking her previous record and he takes in how impossibly lewd the scene before him is as one of the most beautiful women he's ever seen is sitting there in skin tight leather giving him his best and first blowjob and that along with his lack of experience led to his explosion as he roared while grabbing the back of her head and forcing it down the rest of his length, his cum flooded her insides with most of it shooting directly down her throat.

Eventually his climax ended after nearly half a minute and she pulled herself back rather groggily as if cumdrunk and after extracting his member from her throat she sat there in a daze before giggling as she wrapped her lips around the tip once more and used her hands to drain his remaining essence.

"~Slurrrp~Slurrrp~Slurrrp~" She continued until he was absolutely cleaned and drained, "Mmm…" Catwoman murmured before stuffing her face at the base of his cock letting the member rest on head as she took in his musk, but he wasn't looking to play games and a Saiyan's stamina was vast so he reached down and grabbed her by her waist again startling her and drawing a slight yelp.

Noticing that she was still wearing the rest of her costume he decided to help her out of it in the quickest way possible and carefully pinches the fabric before ripping it apart, the leather coming apart at the seams and exposing her naked body to Arius.

Her raw sex appeal only aroused him further as her body seemed to be built to seduce men. She had an hourglass figure with skin that was a perfect shade of white as it flushed slightly from her arousal.

Speaking of her figure, Catwoman had some rather large breasts that drooped just the right amount topped with puffy pink nipples that were currently hard, her stomach was visibly toned from all the running and jumping and that led to wide hips that seemed to tickle his brain and that wasn't taking into account that Arius could see her ass from the front and that along her long legs that might be her best feature, called for him to fucked her.

In his excitement Arius reached out and grasped her with one hand his cock with the other as he lined them up and thrust forward, but that only resulted in Catwoman shouting in pain as she strongly writhed while hurriedly tapping his arm to let her go and worried he did so as her legs shot out quickly leading to her standing on the sofa.

"A little too fast there big guy. Let me handle the insertion and I'll let you know when you can go from there, okay?" She said and he could only nod as it didn't seem like a request and he couldn't exactly force anything because she knew her limits better than he did and he wasn't going to test some squishy human.

So as he sat there she took hold of his shoulders using them to stabilize herself and she squatted right above his shaft letting her drooling quim coat his head as she teased herself on it, moaning his name in pleasure. Taking a deep breath to relax she aligned herself and let gravity do the work slowly.

"~AH~!" She moaned almost wordlessly as her breath seemed to catch in her throat and finally with a *pop* he was inside of her dripping pussy and caught off guard by the pleasure she slipped taking him to the hilt in one fell swoop, this time she truly was wordless shuddering and spasming in shock and he was the same throwing his head back in pleasure as a groan left his throat never having been inside of a woman before, it was an addicting feeling. Even now he could see the outline of his member through her stomach as a bulge.

"SO THICK~!" She managed to wheeze through gritted teeth, her eyes rolling to the back of her head as fluid shot out of her cave coating himself and the couch in her juices and feeling the suction as her velvety tunnel squirmed along his length made it feel even better, but something seemed off as he felt the head of his cock enveloped more tightly then the rest of his shaft, but he'd never had sex before so he threw it to the back of his mind and simply enjoyed.

Minutes passed as he waited not wanting to harm Catwoman in any way, but eventually he couldn't hold on anymore and he started rocking his body. Each upwards thrust made her beautiful boobs jiggle and as he worked his way in and out of her passage her quim continued to salivate uncontrollably as it to ease her impalement.

"~Oh~Hooooh~Aughhh~!" She moaned uncontrollably well beyond coherent words at that point reduced to animal like noises and even induced in lust and balls deep inside a beautiful woman he shuddered at notion of fucking an animal his mind recalling the way some of the female beasts back on Vyragos looked at him. 

Not wanting to be reminded of such thoughts he grabbed her already ripped costume and tore off a smaller piece before stuffing it into her mouth and the action only seemed to turn her on more as she felt her cunt tighten again shooting another stream of her juices along his shaft making it even easier.

"Fuck!" He moaned in pleasure and she seemed to agree as drool leaked from her mouth, down her chin and onto her breast drawing his attention to the globes as they swayed slightly from his rocking and not holding back he leaned forward and latched onto them, alternating between the two and coating them in his saliva. 

At last that seemed to get a semi-coherent thought as Catwoman dug her nails into his shoulder rocking her hips in sync with his own movement and as the seconds passed she seemed to get more active as she sped up and once again gasped, this time her hands moved up as her own head snapped forward finally as she pulling his head forward into a heated kiss. Her tongue seemed eager to seek out his own as she once again tightened along his shaft this time not ejaculating her juices.

This time though he seemed to be at his limit, the third time seemed to be the charm and Arius felt the familiar strain of his incoming climax as waves of pleasure seemed to pulse through his body. He felt his member swell even more in preparation as his testicles began to contract and with one last grunt he thrust upwards.

"CUMMING!" He roared his muscles tensing as he let go of Catwoman not wanting to accidentally hurt her as his muscles contracted, ~Spurt~Spurt~Spurt~!" He could hear it as cum erupted out from his shaft and into the womb of Catwoman who seemed wordless once more this time squeezing her eyes tightly as the venereal geyser of semen flooded her channel. Somehow his second climax was even larger then the first as he continued to pump his baby batter into the pussy. (AN: Ba dum tuss…)

At last his climax ended and Arius could only sit there in euphoria as the only sounds were the leaking semen and heaving breathing.

*Huff* *Huff* "That…" he said taking a deep breath still trying to gather his breaking, "was amazing Catwoman." he finished looking at the limp woman who was laying on his chest just nuzzling his pec in what seemed like a form of comfort.

"Selina…" She mumbled and confused he repeated, "Selina?" wanting to know what she meant saying that name.

"My name is Selina Kyle, not Catwoman." She said in exhaustion a slight pleading look in her eye that said she was serious and 

"Okay then, Selina, that was amazing. I'm glad you took my virginity." He said wanting to make sure she knew he was grateful for the fuck because he didn't want something so petty as not saying a woman's name to get in the way of a potential relationship, though only physical as Arius still thought Selina lacked strength to be his life partner.

And his words seemed to work wonder as the exhaustion on her face seemed to lessen as she gave him a heartwarming smile that vanished as he began to pull her off his member and at first her cunt didn't seem to want to let him go as he felt a membrane holding the tip of his cock refusing to let go.

"D-did you fuck my womb?" Selina was baffled and her words didn't make sense to him because he didn't know what a womb was, "Maybe…" he responded, unsure of what the right answer would be.

"Just pull it out-Wait no don't pull it out! Stay still!" She changed her mind mid-sentence as she seemed to realize something mid sentence and he was getting more confused by the second.

"If I'm leaving it in, can we continue?" He asked curious and wanting to enjoy the pussy of Catwoman more and though initially she seemed offput at the notion of continuing their session, she paused and looked at him deeply before bringing him into another kiss.

"Carry me to my room. It's the second door on the right. We can go for one more round, nothing more and after once your dick gets soft you'll slip it out of me. Remember if it doesn't come out don't force it." She laid out and though he wanted to go all night he agreed with a nod and she wrapped her arms and legs around his framing shuddering as she pulled herself down on his still hard member once more and continued to moan as she jerked slightly as he walked.

Opening the door he saw a rather luxurious looking room filled with cat themed items and gems lining a shelf, but he quickly lost interest in the decor as he walked towards the bed and stopping he smirked unwrapping Selina's arms and legs as she let him take control.

Once untangled he grabbed her securely and turned her around before laying her face down her cunt never letting him slip out.

"One round only." She said turning around to look at him and he smirked knowing he was going to make it worth his while as he started thrusting into her tight cunt once again enjoying the way she was more active this time around throwing her hips back to meet his thrusts as the clapping noise echoed throughout the apartment.

*Smack* *Smack* *Smack*

The sound rang out as he put more strength in his thrust, loving the way her womb contracted around the head of his cock when he pulled out and the way the rest of her pussy massaged his shaft when he thrust it. It was the best of both worlds and he was going to enjoy it to the fullest.

Once again the visual stimulus was almost as good as the physical stimulation. Seeing the way her tits were visible even from behind as they were mashed up against the bed to the way her ass rippled when he thrust forward and the way her lower lips clung to him was addicting and for a second he couldn't help, but picture both Diana and Kara in the same position, but he shook those thoughts away and focused on the woman who was currently cumming her brains out on his cock.

"Fuck you Bruce." She muttered quietly into the pillow before biting down once more as she moaned at a particularly deep thrust and he paused for a bit before he thrust as deep as he could go and grinded into her making Selina mumble incoherently. He was currently hitting her sweet spot and with her out of it it gave him time to think.

She most likely thought that he wouldn't be able to understand, but his sharp senses allowed him to hear her words loud and clear as he was focusing on her words to ensure that if she ever said stop he would stop. So it was in that moment that Arius learned that he was a rebound fuck, but it didn't really bother him because he still got an incredible fuck out of it and while he didn't know who this 'Bruce' was, Arius already considered him the man an idiot to let such a fine piece of ass go.

"~Arius~!" She moaned lifting her head and turning towards him, "~You've ruined me for any other man so take responsibility~" She said seductively as she came once again and while he didn't know if she was telling the truth or not the thought it inflated his pride even more and that was the tipping point to his peak.

"Fuuuuuuuck… I'm cumming!" He said once again driving his hips forwards once again unleashing even more of his jism into the prone woman as Selina once again squirted her juices before falling back into the bed face first and after riding his orgasm Arius tried to pull away despite his erection still standing tall and was once again met with resistance, but since Catwoman had yet to say anything he pulled back a big harder this time, but was surprised to lift Selina by the hips off the bed, so he stopped.

"Shit well I'm still hard and your pussy doesn't want to let go… Can you go for another round?" He whispered into Selina's ear hoping to get a 'yes', but all he got in response was the sounds of soft breaths, so he repeated his question again, but was met with the same response. 

Confused, Arius turned her on her side and saw the way her head flopped over and fell limply to the side as she lightly snored. Realizing she was knocked unconscious either pleasure or exhaustion, he could only sit there confused as to what to do next, but he didn't want to stay connected to her all night so he made a business decision and went to sleep after.

(End of Lemon)

In the morning Arius stretched as he woke up, the morning light filtering through the curtains making him contemplate blowing up the sun, but as the scent of perfume and sex lingered in the air, memories of the night before came rushing back.

He had enjoyed himself. And what was there not to enjoy, Selina was captivating, confident, and eager to please, but there was a lingering sense of dissatisfaction. Her human body simply couldn't keep up with his endurance. After just two rounds, her body had given out, and while he hadn't wanted to push her beyond her limits. After she fell unconscious he decided to continue unleashing a third and fourth load into her sopping wet pussy which allowed him to finally soften a bit as the appeal of fucking someone so unresponsive and blowing five loads allowed him to go soft.

He got out of bed looking over and noticed that there was a massive puddle of their combined juices leaking from between her legs and realized that his leg was also coated in the fluids. Glancing around the room for something to wipe himself off with he realized that there weren't any visible towels.

He debated on waking her up to ask so he could take a shower, but the look of exhaustion on her face even now indicated that she wouldn't be in a good mood if he woke her up. Hell she might now even remember last night considering she got fucked unconscious and might freak out thinking she got sexually assaulted, but he shook his head and decided not to overthink the night. It was pleasant enough, and she had made her intentions clear.

Thinking on the pleasurable yet disappointing night made his mind drift back to Diana. From the way her beautiful blue eyes sparkled up when she saw him to the way her mere presence made his day better. What he thought about most was the way Diana was able to somewhat match his strength and challenge him in ways Selina couldn't.

Shaking his head, he got up and wrote a quick note on a scrap of paper. He signed it with a crude writing that looked more like chicken scribble.

[Had a good time. I'll be back in Gotham soon, so here's my number. Call me if you ever need help.]

With that, Arius got dressed and left Selina's apartment making sure to lock it and after making sure he took the stairs to the roof before launching himself into the air.

As he approached home he didn't bother with his Ki sense hoping that Diana would already be there to surprise him and as the familiar sight of his villa came into view he felt a surge of hope, but as he landed and was greeted by the silence of the empty house, he couldn't help but feel a small pang of disappointment.

Throwing the suit that reeked of his previous rendezvous into the dirty hamper knowing it would somehow be cleaned later he took a quick shower. After Arius made his way to the kitchen, rummaging through the fridge and piling an assortment of food onto the counter. He devoured his breakfast with gusto, though his thoughts kept straying to Diana. The house felt too quiet without her, so he turned on a television that was in the kitchen and decided to check if there were any songs from his first life in this reality and surprisingly there were, so he put on some T Swift with lyrics and sang along

As he was halfway through a stack of pancakes a sudden gust of wind zipped through the room, scattering napkins and rustling the curtains. Arius looked up just in time to see the Flash standing in the doorway.

-Bruce Wayne (Batman)-

He sat in the shadows of the Watchtower, his hands steepled beneath his cowl as he stared at the monitor before him. His mind raced, conflicted in ways that few ever got to see.

His mind replayed years of calculated decisions, choices made to shape Selina Kyle into something better, something more. She had always been a thorn in his side, but also a temptation, a reminder of what he could have if he ever let his guard down. But he hadn't. He couldn't.

Selina was clever, independent, and wildly unpredictable. Those traits had drawn Bruce to her, but they were also the reasons he had resisted getting too close.

A relationship with her would compromise his objectivity, something he couldn't afford in Gotham's never-ending war against crime. So, instead, Bruce had played the long game, subtly influencing her. Over the years, her heists became less about greed and more about justice. He had noticed the change, especially in recent months as she hadn't stolen anything of note and from his surveillance had even started playing hero on occasion, stepping in to stop crimes.

It was working. Selina was on the cusp of fully leaving her criminal life behind. One final push, one carefully calculated move, and she could stand beside him not as a liability, but as a partner similar to the rest of the Bat-family. He had been ready to make that move when everything had been derailed.

Talia al Ghul had arrived, dropping Damian, his son, into his life like a bombshell stating that he wasn't safe any longer and Damian's existence had been a painful revelation for everyone, especially Selina.

Who would have thought that denying a woman because she was a criminal while having a child with another woman who was a worse known criminal would make her angry. Well even he could have guessed that, but he knows that he didn't exactly consent to the arrangement, but Selena didn't want to let him explain. 

Nonetheless Bruce had thrown himself into helping Damian adjust to life in Gotham, knowing full well that Selina's anger would manifest in a return to her old habits. She was bound to go on a crime spree, her way of lashing out. Rather than confront her, Bruce chose to give her space and the best way was to take over Watchtower duties under the pretense of League obligations.

He had delegated Gotham's protection to Nightwing, Batgirl, and Batwoman, knowing full well that the city's criminal element would become more prominent in his absence. Days passed, and he monitored Gotham from afar.

His suspicions about Selina's behavior were confirmed when thefts began cropping up again matching her M.O. and he considered returning to Gotham, but when he noticed Arius heading to the city, he decided against it. The Saiyan's mere presence would send Gotham's criminals into hiding, giving Bruce more time to figure out how to approach Selina.

After ensuring that Arius didn't kill anyone he'd switched his attention to the world at large ensuring that there were no villain attacks or natural disasters. Then came the moment that shattered his carefully maintained distance.

A quick check of Arius's tracker showed him at Selina's apartment. Suspicious, Bruce hesitated before accessing the hidden surveillance cameras he had installed in her home long ago. He told himself it was for her protection, a way to ensure she wasn't in danger.

What he saw made his blood boil.

The video played back the events of the night before: Arius entering Selina's apartment, their conversation, the intimate moments that followed. Bruce's jaw tightened as he clenched his fists, his mind racing with anger and betrayal.

On the screen, Selina Kyle, Catwoman, the woman he had tried so hard to keep at arm's length and convert to the side of heroes, was writhing in the arms of Arius. He thought he knew her well, but it seems that she was more vindictive than he predicted and watching the screen his stomach churned with the video replayed on a continuous loop, his normally unshakable resolve now tested by emotions he struggled to reign in.

It wasn't the first time Batman had considered drastic action, but this was the first for Arius because when the Saiyan first appeared, he was every bit the unrefined brute Batman despised. A warrior with no regard for law or order, killing Darkseid with brutal efficiency instead of bringing him to justice. It was antithetical to everything Bruce stood for. His impression of the Saiyan worsened as Arius continued to integrate himself into the Justice League.

He respected Diana immensely. She was a fellow warrior, an ally, and at times someone he harbored feelings for and watching her grow close to Arius had been a bitter pill to swallow, but he knew they wouldn't be a good match. Seeing the Saiyan's charm and straightforward demeanor click with Diana's he had accepted it even if he didn't like it, and if that weren't enough, Arius had managed to punch Superman's cousin, Kara so hard that she developed a bizarre affection for him. It was… unsettling, to say the least.

For all of those reasons Batman would say that he didn't initially like Arius, but the Saiyan was slowly growing on him , but now this. Selina.

A rare flicker of rage coursed through Batman as he briefly considered his options. He had access to the League's orbital weapons. From what he concluded one precisely targeted tungsten rod launched at near the speed of light would end the Saiyan's life, but as his hand hovered over the keyboard he stopped.

Batman doesn't kill.

He had spent his life refining his control so with a deep intake of breath, he calmed himself. Still, watching the recording was more than he could stomach. Selina's expression, a mixture of pain and pleasure, would haunt him. His emotions wrestled with logic, with duty, and with the deep-rooted jealousy he refused to acknowledge.

So caught up in his thoughts Batman was only just noticing the faint hum of the Zeta-tube behind him. He turned just as the Flash appeared in a blur of red and gold.

"Hey, Batman, whatcha watc—" Barry's words died in his throat as he caught sight of the monitor just before it went dark. The speedster's eyes widened in shock, his mouth falling open before he zipped back in a flash, "Nope! Nope! Nope!" he muttered, his voice fading as the Zeta-tube announced his departure.

[Recognized Flash Code: 04] 

The automated system chimed this time with his mind not clouded in chaos he heard it loud and clear. Batman exhaled sharply, running a hand down his face. Barry's reaction only deepened his sense of humiliation, but it also brought clarity. Selina wasn't his to control. She had made her choice. The Saiyan, as much as Batman now despised him, wasn't the real problem here.

Steeling himself, Batman resolved to let the situation rest, for now. Tomorrow, he would confront Selina. Not to accuse, but to talk. Whatever she chose moving forward, Bruce had to accept it.

-Barry Allen (The Flash)-

Barry stood just outside the front door of Arius' villa, still trying to process the chaotic whirlwind of thoughts in his head. The scene he had witnessed on the Watchtower replayed on loop in his mind. Selina Kyle, Catwoman, the woman he knew was the love interest of Batman naked and clinging to his good friend Arius, moaning with an intensity that had him immediately zipping out of the room. He'd seen a lot of strange and uncomfortable things in his life, but this? This topped the list.

So he took a deep breath and knocked lightly to announce his arrival before letting himself in after all, the Saiyan wasn't exactly known for locking doors. The villa was as grand and messy as he'd remembered despite the maids he knew that came once a week to clean, given Arius' rather primal personality.

The sound of cheerful singing filtered through the house, growing louder as he flashed into the dining room. There sitting in nothing but his underwear, was Arius eating a towering stack of pancakes and singing along (badly) to a Taylor Swift song playing on the TV.

The scene made Barry freeze, his mind struggling to associate the monstrously powerful and intimidating warrior who'd killed Darkseid with the shirtless, pancake-devouring man singing "Shake It Off" like a tone deaf bard drunk in octoberfest.

Arius noticed him immediately. "Oh, hey, Barry!" he greeted, his voice bright and welcoming as they'd become fast friends over the past few months the two bonding over food, "What brings you here this fine morning? Pancakes?" He gestured at the massive stack in front of him, syrup dripping from his fork as he took another bite.

Barry blinked, momentarily dumbfounded. He quickly activated his super-speed brain to process the situation and form a plan. 'Okay, Barry,' he thought. 'Play it cool. Casual. Casual first, then get to the weird stuff.'

"Oh, hey, Arius. I'm good on the pancakes. Just, uh, checking in," Barry said, rubbing the back of his neck and walking over, "You know with Diana being gone for a whole day and all I thought I'd see how you're holding up." he explained knowing that was an excellent reason as Batman had reported that Arius was agitated the previous day after just hours of Diana's departure.

Arius though didn't seem to question it and grinned, leaning back in his chair with syrup on his lips, "Oh, I'm doing great, actually. Had an amazing night, to be honest." He said with a proud grin on his face.

Those words made Barry's casual act falter as his mind immediately recalled the memory of the recording he'd just seen of Catwoman and Arius. His smile twitched. 'Don't think about it. Don't think about it. Oh god, I can't stop thinking about it!' he yelled in his mind and knowing he couldn't play it off anymore he lost his casual act and was upfront.

"Oh, uh, that's good," Barry managed to say before blurting out the rest, "But I heard you were in Gotham last night,beating up criminals and hanging out with Catwoman?"

"Yup!" He said with a smile, "Before she left Diana asked me to patrol for her while she's away and I was bored so after looking up high crime cities I flew over and Gotham's full of criminals, so it was a decent way to pass the time. And Catwoman? Yeah, I met her. Nice lady. We had sex." Arius said not missing a beat. 

"You—what?!" Barry nearly choked on his own spit not expecting such a blunt reply.

"We had sex. You know… intimacy, physical bonding, mating all that. She invited me over to her place, we had a great time and then I flew back here this morning." Arius tilted his head, confused by Barry's reaction and the Saiyan's words only made him sink deeper into thought.

'Is this the reason why Diana left so abruptly? Almost everyone knows that she was interested in Arius, but if Arius somehow met Selena and decided to pursue a relationship with the cat themed burglar then Diana heartbroken would have a reason to leave without a couple days' notice.' He thought as it all came together.

"Oh well, while I still think you and Diana would have made a better couple. I support your choice to be together with Selena." Barry said knowing he'd have Arius' back as long as the Saiyan didn't turn evil even he'd be upset if Diana refused to return for awhile, because he knew the amazon princess would be back eventually.

"What do you mean? I'm not with Selena."Arius replied, shoving another pancake into his mouth.

"Huh? But wasn't it because you chose Selena that Diana left to go back to her island?" He asked in confusion.

"I didn't even know Selena existed until Diana left." The Saiyan explained and once he said that a wave of both relief and dread washed over the Flash as he took into account how the amazon would react. 

"Arius… you do realize Diana's going to find out about this, right?" Barry pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing deeply. 

"Why would Diana care? I didn't choose anyone over her and I'm not going to get into a relationship with Selena. Hell I just met her last night, but having sex with her made me realize how great Diana is, so when she gets back I'm going to make it official." The Saiyan though initially looking genuinely puzzled soon nodded in a sage like fashion.

Barry froze. His assumption that Diana had left because she'd caught Arius and Catwoman together shattered instantly. "Wait. You're not… with Selina?" He asked, wanting to make sure his mind wasn't playing tricks on him.

"Nope," Arius said cheerfully, taking another bite of pancakes. "Like I said Selina's nice, but she's no Diana. I like Diana more because she's smart, strong, and we've been through a lot together. Why would I date Selina?" Arius asked, baffled and if the woman in question was here at the moment he was sure she'd be trying to claw out Arius' eyes out in rage.

In the end Barry could only sighed this time in relief mixed with exasperation, "Okay, listen, Arius. Just… be careful. You've already got a lot of eyes on you, and this thing with Selina? It will complicate things."

"Noted!" Arius said with a grin, clearly unbothered like he'd always been and if he could manhandle Darkseid he'd be carefree too.

"Alright. Well, good talk. Enjoy your breakfast." Barry said as he sped out of the villa, his mind racing with what he needed to do next. He doubted Arius lied to him so now that he got the full story, there was only one person who could handle the emotional fallout from the other end of this disaster, Superman.

If anyone could talk Batman out of doing something drastic, like dropping a tungsten rod on the Saiyan, it was Big Blue himself. So Barry ran straight to Metropolis, determined to ensure Batman didn't let his jealousy spiral into catastrophic territory. As he zipped through the city, he muttered under his breath, "This is why I stick to fighting rogues. Love triangles are way too messy."

-Diana Prince (Wonder Woman)-

Diana's sandals crunched against the soft sands of Themyscira as she arrived at the edge of her homeland, greeted by the warm sun and the faint scent of salt from the sea breeze. Her mother, Hippolyta, stood with open arms and having not seen her mother in nearly a year Diana rushed forward as they embraced tightly. Her mother, the queen of the Amazons, held her as if she feared she might vanish.

"I have missed you, my daughter. You've been gone far too long." Hippolyta said, her voice trembling slightly as she pulled back to inspect Diana.

"I'm sorry, Mother. Time in Man's World moves so quickly, and there's always something that demands my attention." Diana smiled apologetically, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear, feeling guilty for not visiting more often as she planned to visit, but the invasion and Arius' presence had made her forget her initial plan to visit.

"Man's World seems to have captivated you. Are your reasons for staying tied solely to your duties as a hero, or is there... another reason?" Hippolyta asked with a frown, her piercing eyes searching Diana's face in suspicion. 

The question made Diana hesitate as she could feel the weight of her mother's scrutiny and the implications behind her words, but she chose her response carefully, unwilling to reveal too much, "I am helping those who cannot help themselves, Mother. The struggles of mankind are vast, and I am happy to do my part to make a difference." She said with some regret knowing that a lie of omission is still a lie, but she was unwilling to state her burgeoning relationship.

Hippolyta narrowed her eyes, clearly unconvinced but unwilling to press further, "Very well, but know this. I have raised you to face challenges with both strength and wisdom. If there is more to your story that you do not wish to share right now, I trust you will share it when the time is right." She said and it was in that moment that Diana realized that she couldn't slip anything past the woman who raised her for years.

She nodded, relief washing over her as her mother shifted the conversation, "Now the Gods have summoned you, Diana. They wish to meet with you in Olympus, it is rare for them to call upon anyone directly, even the heroes of old, so be prepared and represent us all as the princess of Themyscira." Hippolyta said, her tone taking on a note of reverence.

The mention of the Gods stirred a mix of excitement and apprehension in Diana. She had always felt a deep connection to the divine, yet she knew their motives were often beyond mortal comprehension, "Mother, do you know what they want of me?" she asked cautiously, having learned from Bruce that information was half the battle.

"That, they did not say. Now come, I will lead you to where the portal to Olympus awaits." Hippolyta replied and as they walked side by side through the lush greenery of Themyscira Diana felt nostalgia hit her as the last time she went on a walk with her mother was when she was a child.

When they reached the spot, Hippolyta turned to her daughter one last time, pulling her into a firm embrace, "Be careful, Diana. The will of the Gods is not always kind, even to their own." She warned and Diana nodded having expected as much.

"I will return soon," Diana promised, her resolve firm.

With that, she stepped through the shimmering portal, the world around her dissolving into brilliant golden light. When her vision cleared, she stood on the peak of Mount Olympus, the divine majesty of the realm taking her breath away. The skies shimmered with hues of gold and silver, and the marble temples gleamed with an otherworldly radiance.

"Princess Diana!" A cheerful voice called out, and she turned to see Hermes, the messenger of the Gods, approaching. He offered a wide grin, his winged sandals barely touching the ground as he moved. "Welcome! I must say, I'm quite a fan of your work. You handled the Apokolips invasion brilliantly."

Diana gave a polite smile but couldn't help the bitterness that rose in her chest. The memory of the Gods' absence during the invasion replayed in her mind, but she suppressed it, knowing that without their inaction, Cyborg wouldn't have opened the boom tube to Vyragos, and she would never have met Arius.

"Thank you, Lord Hermes, but it was a team effort." She said, her tone diplomatic.

"Come, they're waiting for you," Hermes said, leading her to Zeus' grand temple ignoring her previous words with a smile. Inside, the twelve Olympian Gods were seated, their divine forms radiating power which shocked her as meeting one of the Gods of Olympus alone was incredibly rare. It seemed whatever they called her here for was important.

"You summoned me, Lord Zeus?" Diana asked while bowing respectfully, though her gaze lingered on the form of Zeus, the King of the Gods, but didn't stay there for long as she feared he would take it as a sign of disrespect. 

"You need not bow, Diana. You are my daughter, molded from clay and blessed with my power. There is no need for formality." Zeus said, his voice booming like thunder.

Diana nodded, though her feelings about Zeus as her "father" were complicated, "Alright then 'father,'" She said, feeling it was unnatural to utter such words, "What is it that you require of me?" She was prepared to go on a quest for some legendary artefact of sorts as the main trouble maker of the group Ares, God of War was seemingly not causing any trouble.

"We have watched the events of the past months closely, particularly the arrival of the alien known as Arius. His power is unlike anything this world has seen and while he has acted in Earth's favor thus far, we do not trust him." Zeus's expression hardened as he continued and the more he spoke the more she understood. The words hit Diana like a blow. She stood straighter, her hands curling into fists at her sides.

"Arius has done nothing to warrant such suspicion. He has fought alongside us to protect this world." She explained hoping her words as the 'daughter' of Zeus would hold some influence.

"And yet, his strength could just as easily destroy it. We require information about him any weaknesses we can exploit should he turn against us." Zeus countered and she could poke twelve holes in that argument, one for each god that sat before her, but she knew they wouldn't listen. Gods, especially those of Olympus are known for their stubbornness.

"No. I will not betray the trust of a friend. Arius is not your enemy." Diana's response was immediate and firm, but that didn't seem to be the answer the gods wanted as the faces of nearly everyone were darkened with Zeus' in particular showing the most emotion.

Zeus's expression darkened, and thunder rumbled outside the temple, "You are my creation, Diana! You exist to serve my will! Do not defy me!" He roared the sky darkening as the thunder and lightning rumbled in close proximity to the temple.

"I stand by my word." She repeated and Zeus didn't take kindly to that as he unleashed his divinity directly on her. The other Gods joined in, their divine power bearing down on her. Diana fell to her knees under the crushing weight and while she could resist at first she suddenly felt her strength draining almost instantaneously.

Zeus and the other gods had granted Diana her power and they could take it away with her only having the power of a normal amazon without their blessings, but her will remained unchanged having faced an enraged Arius so she gritted her teeth, and suddenly a power welled from her gut as sparks of lightning began crackling off her form as she tried to stand, her anger fueling her resistance, but before she could rise fully, a blinding light overwhelmed her and the world faded to black.

When she awoke, her body felt weak and drained. She was seated on a cold stone throne in a dimly lit dungeon, dressed in nothing but a simple toga as the gods stripped her of everything they granted from their blessings to their artifacts. As she tried to get up chains materialized out of thin air from the throne binding her wrists and ankles.

She pulled at them with all her might, but the enchanted metal only dug into her skin. Hours passed before Diana finally stopped struggling, her arms and legs rubbed raw, breathing heavily as she assessed her situation. The throne and chains reminded her of the mythical contraption Hephaestus had crafted to trap Hera and she wouldn't be surprised if she was currently seated upon said throne and as she sat there, but she wouldn't give up. Diana would return to her mother, return to her friend in the Justice League and she would return to Arius because she feared what he would do if she was gone for long.

But as she was contemplating her options the dungeon door creaked open, and a figure stepped inside, "You look like someone in need of assistance." A melodic, feminine voice echoed through the chamber.

Diana's head snapped up, her eyes narrowing as she focused on the stranger, "Who are you?" She asked, unsure of which goddess had entered her prison.

The figure stepped closer, her presence both alluring and mysterious. "Someone who doesn't think you deserve to be treated like this… Now, let's just say... I can help you." They said and Diana was shocked at the identity of the goddess, never having expected the deity would be the one to come to Diana's aid.

-Extra Scene: Selina Kyle (Catwoman)-

Selina Kyle groggily rolled out of bed, her legs sore and her body aching from the previous night. She grumbled under her breath, half-annoyed and half-grateful that Arius had left without waking her, "Big guy doesn't even stick around for breakfast," she muttered, running a hand through her tousled hair before looking over at her clock and seeing that it said two in the afternoon.

Despite her complaints, a smug satisfied smile tugged at her lips as she stretched. The memory of last night brought a gleam of satisfaction, she had slept with the alien powerhouse who replaced Superman as the strongest hero before Wonder Woman, of all people. That alone while petty felt deeply satisfying, she'd never liked the amazon who always acted herself so high and mighty despite dressing in even less clothing then her.

In the end it was her victory.

So she hopped into the shower, letting the hot water soothe her muscles as she replayed the events of the night. Selina couldn't help shudder remembering the initial penetration, but turned the water cold not wanting to get aroused so soon after getting her guts rearranged. So she focused on other thoughts like the feeling of vindication of knowing that Bruce would undoubtedly find out sooner rather than later. The thought of his reaction made her laugh softly. "Serves him right," she murmured to herself, "Maybe now he'll understand how it feels like."

After drying off and getting dressed, Selina grabbed a quick breakfast. Her usual feline-like grace was absent as she moved through her apartment with a sore core, "I might need a vaginoplasty after last night," she joked to herself with a wry grin, hobbling slightly as she made her way to the door.

The brisk Gotham air hit her as she stepped outside, heading toward the nearest pharmacy. Once inside, she perused the aisles before picking up a box of 'Plan B'. Selina paused for a moment, holding the box in her hand, "I hope this works with alien DNA," she muttered under her breath, shaking her head at the absurdity of her current situation before grabbing two more just in case.

Standing in line, she noticed the cashier giving her an obvious look and Selina smirked in response, enjoying the subtle look of envy and as she approached the counter to pay, a familiar voice called her name making her heart sink at the familiar voice.

"Selina? Hey!" The voice called out again.

Her body stiffened, and she slowly turned her head to see none other than Dick Grayson, Nightwing himself, striding toward her with his signature boyish grin. He was already right next to her before she could think of an escape plan.

"Hey, Selina! How's it going? Been a while." His tone was casual, but his sharp eyes were already scanning her face as she looked nervous.

"Oh, you know," She replied breezily, trying to sound nonchalant, "Keeping busy, same old, same old."

Dick's gaze drifted to the counter, and his cheerful demeanor faltered as he noticed the Plan B box. His eyes darted back to Selina, his mind clearly working overtime, "Uh, so… what are you picking up?" he asked, his voice laced with curiosity and a hint of teasing.

Selina gave him a pointed look, hoping he got the hint and let the subject drop, "Just... essentials," she said vaguely.

Dick however seemed to ignore it as he grinned, "Well, I'm just here grabbing some snacks for a study session with. You know, nothing exciting. So, uh…Did you and Bruce?" He asked, his eyes flicking to the counter again.

"What?" Selina blurted out, caught off guard at the rather inappropriate question., not expecting Nightwing to be so straightforward.

"You and Bruce," Dick repeated, lowering his voice this time grinning like a cat who'd caught the canary, "Are you two back together? Because I made a bet with Barbara yesterday that you two would get back together by the end of the week."

Selina froze, unsure how to respond, "I'm… not back with Bruce," she said slowly, her cheeks flushing slightly. "I haven't seen him since that day." She finished with a smile enjoying the way the blood drained from his face.

His smile faltered as the implications hit him like a freight train. His eyes widened slightly, and he let out an awkward chuckle, "Oh. Ohhhh…" He scratched the back of his neck, clearly uncomfortable, but he was the one who started it despite her subtle warning, "Well, uh, I just remembered! I left the stove on at my place. Gotta go. See ya!" He turned on his heel and practically bolted toward the exit not noticing that he left without paying.

Selina raised an eyebrow, watching him retreat. "You don't even know how to cook," she muttered under her breath. "Alfred does it all for you." Shaking her head, she paid for her purchase and left the pharmacy, smirking to herself.

"Well it's definitely going to be sooner rather than later now."

AN: Okay, it took a bit longer than normal to finish this chapter, but it was because the lemon came out weird the first couple of times and I rewrote it three separate times. Anyway the business with Catwoman was something I found hilarious because of what it will lead to and I found it hilarious that Batman got cucked especially after reading about good 'ol Bruce sleeping with Barbara while she was still with Dick and getting the daughter of his friend commissioner Gordon pregnant. Really a small price to pay.

Anyway (x2) I hope y'all enjoy the chapter and if you find any inconsistencies let me know and I'll try my best to fix them.

Speaking of which rather shameless plug, but if you like the story and want to read advance chapter consider joining my patreo n to support me, I am 5+ chapter ahead for each story over there and with some news of The big P site being wonky at times I also made a subsribestar where the same thing will be posted moreover as a backup.
