The sorcerer king - An uncomfortable but necessary conversation (Patreon)

Ra’s Al Ghul, Nanda Pardat, League of shadows headquarters

Meditation was becoming increasingly difficult to achieve, a consequence of his turbulent mind, even in this stunning city

"Master, everything is ready, the defenses are up” said one of his assassins, while bowing his head in submission

Ra's nodded calmly, though inside he just snorted, there was no defense on the fucking planet that could stop Potter or his shadows

"My daughter's letter was clear, her fiancé will arrive at the zenith of the sun, so it's time to go and receive our guests," said the master assassin, standing up and starting to walk through the corridors of the beautiful city

"Everything is ready master, the same thing from last time won’t happen again” the man promised fervently, and although Ra's nodded calmly, he knew it was useless

"The sorcerer supreme does not come to fight, I do not want mistakes or misunderstandings" said the master assassin reprimanding his subordinate, who nodded in shame

After several minutes, they arrived at the central courtyard, where a group of the best assassins were training

They all moved with precision and lethality, they were all skilled warriors

And they were all useless when the sorcerer supreme stormed the city to get his wife back a couple of years ago

"Twelve o’clock master" said the warrior to his right, just at the moment when five pops were heard in the courtyard

In an instant, Harry James Potter appeared, escorted by four of his terrifying shadows, walking in synchrony, stalking the assassins, who were normally used to being the predators

He had brought four, two more than the number needed to demolish the city, if he so wished

A clear message, thought the master assassin

"Potter," Ra's said in an impassive voice

The sorcerer supreme didn't flinch, he just looked at him and said

"Old man" was the only answer

At the lack of respect, the assassins around muttered, but none were stupid enough to say anything

They had learned their lesson last time

Without saying a word, the guest took out a scroll and levitated it towards Ra's

"The contract, officially, Talia Al Ghul no longer exists, now Talia Potter takes her place in the High Halls of New Camelot," Harry said calmly, causing whispers of disapproval among the members of the league

Ra's frowned in annoyance, although the result was expected, after all, he knew that Potter would marry his daughter the moment he found out about the pregnancy

"If you're here, then my daughter shared my message," the master assassin said calmly

Harry simply nodded, his face impassive, and spoke

"It seems so, there are also some actions that have caught my attention, such as your daughter's, we both need clarity on that matter," said the sorcerer supreme and without any qualms, he began to give orders

“Shadows!” he shouted firmly, causing his four warriors to bring their legs together and put their hands on his chests, waiting for orders

"This place has just been elevated to alpha priority, analyze the whole place, I want a complete mapping for the Builders guild, I want the Hogwarts wards to look like garbage compare to this place," he ordered

"At your command, my Lord," exclaimed the four of them and without any hesitation, they took out their staves and began to map the place, before the incredulous and annoyed look of the members of the league

One of them looked at Ra's and said

“Master! This is...” however, the ancestral murderer raised his hand silencing the man and spoke

"Allow them full access, my son-in-law and I have to talk," he ordered calmly

All the assassins bowed and obeyed, though it was evident that many disagreed

After all, many still remembered what these fierce sorcerers were capable of accomplishing

"Come on," Harry ordered calmly and without waiting for an answer, he began to walk towards where they both knew the well was

Ra's laughed quietly and followed, pleased with his son-in-law's character, and his daughter's decision

They both walked silently through the fortress, the sorcerer supreme analyzed absolutely everything with precision, his impassive face and intelligent eyes did not miss any detail, Harry James Potter had not been trained by the League, but there was no doubt that he was a hunter

"You know why I'm here and you know it was stolen," he said without warning, as they entered the pit room

Ra's didn't respond instantly, but eventually looked at Harry

"I know," he said simply

Harry just looked at him calmly and spoke again

"I don't know much about you, only what Talia's subjective opinion has given me, but I know one thing, you're not stupid, you know very well that the helmet, in the wrong hands will only bring senseless destruction, quite the opposite, with the philosophy of your league"

And Ra's agreed with him

"You are an excellent hunter, at this point, I guess you already know who stole the object" said the master assassin

Harry nodded and spoke

"Yes, Klarion and Beulah Bleak, the offspring of Mordechai," Harry said calmly

Ra's responded

"Klarion, not Beulah, it was Klarion who did it, blackmailing Giovanni Zatara," Ra's said

Harry frowned, even if his wife's father told him that Klarion was responsible, he would take care of both brats, most likely he would execute Klarion and subject Beulah to the same oath as her mother

However, the following words changed those plans completely

"The brat is playing with the Lords of Chaos," Ra's said, paralyzing Harry for a moment

A second later, the sorcerer Supreme’s face filled with fury, his magic spiraling out of control to such an extent that the entire room began to shake

"Damn, of course it had to be those assholes again" snapped the sorcerer supreme as furious as a fucking lion

"That's not all," Ra's said, causing all the sorcerer's magic and annoyance to be concentrated on him, only Ra's experience prevented the titanic power of the sorcerer supreme from overwhelming him

"What else do you know?" Harry asked with a frown

"Klarion is not the real problem, it is from The Light, of whom you should be careful" said the man solemnly

Harry simply looked at Ra's curiously, apparently not recognizing what he was talking about

"The light? what are you talking about?” asked the sorcerer supreme, evidently on the verge of losing his patience

The master assassin simply inhaled hard, this was the point of truth, the coin was in the air, Savage was suspicious of Ra's loyalty to the group

However, family would always be his priority, and to the bad luck of The Light, the Sorcerer Supreme was now a part of it

“Take a seat, this is a long story”

And the sorcerer supreme nodded, and with it, changing the fate of the world forever

Nymphadora Tonks, Arcane Bastion “Merlin’s Fury”, in low orbit above U.S.

"Nothing new, the same fluctuation of outer space, but no magical presence on Earth," said Tonks, completely bored

"You haven't even been monitoring for two days, you knew very well that these surveillance tasks are slow Nymphadora" said her aunt's elegant voice

Tonks' eyebrow trembled at Narcissa's words, oh she knew full well that her dear Harry had sent her to make her suffer

The sorcerer supreme always found a way to reprimand you in the most ... Effective way

And many times, psychological terror was her beloved Harry's best friend

His punishment this time? Send her aunt to "assist" her in monitoring

"Did I tell you about that time when I found your mother in the second-floor bathroom with Wayne Runcorn? Oh how embarrassing, a daughter of the noble Black family with someone so insignificant, Grandfather Arcturus had to make the imbecile disappear to take care of Andromeda's reputation, although it hasn't been much use," said Narcissa, who spoke calmly as she read the magic readings of the bastion

And as if this family reunion couldn't get worse...

“Attention, two arrivals detected in the bay of apparition, accredited credentials, Lord Sirius Black and Lady Andromeda Tonks”

Tonks turned totally white, while Narcissa gave a small laugh of joy

"Oh, they finally arrived!" said her aunt with satisfaction, while snapping her fingers, making one of the automaton elves that Harry had created appear in the room

“Mistress Narcissa, what do you need?” asked the mechanical being, his obviously artificial and shrill voice still gave Tonks chills, but the little being was proof of Harry's arcane mastery

"A bottle of Elder Wine and a board of cheeses and cold meats, three glasses, oh and a jug of apple juice for little Nymphadora, Tinky" said Narcissa with a smile as false as sweet

"I'm old enough to drink wine, aunt" Tonks snapped between her teeth

Narcissa made a gesture of indifference and said

"I know my dear, but you are on duty, it is important that you stay alert, remember that you volunteered for this position," Lady Malfoy said looking at Tonks with a smile of victory

And just at that moment...

“WE HAVE ARRIVED!!” He shouted the voice of his uncle Sirius, accompanied by her mother

"Sirius, Andromeda around here! Tinky will bring refreshments," Narcissa said as two chairs appeared in the observation room

Tonks just gritted her teeth more

“How was your holiday in France cousin, anything interesting?” Narcissa asked while drinking some wine and tasting one of the exquisite cheeses that Nymphadora had in her bastion

Lord Black laughed hard and said

"Great way to relax, I even had a VIP visit to the Veela enclave, they were more than eager to receive the godfather of the Sorcerer Supreme hahaha" said Sirius, lost in his perverse memories 

"Sirius, we don't want to hear about your wicked adventures, why not tell us about her current mission dear?" Andromeda asked, giving her daughter a hug

Tonks smiled at her mother, before casting a dirty look at her aunt and uncle, who looked at her with obvious amusement on their faces

"Nothing interesting, Harry ordered the deployment of a bastion over the colonies and calibrated the sensors to a specific frequency of dark magic, apparently, he is already on the trail of whoever stole the relic" said Tonks with obvious pride in his voice

Narcissa looked surprised and replied

"The sorcerer supreme is efficient, not even a week has passed and he already has the clue of who stole the helmet, it is not surprising that the Wizarding World is working so efficiently" said Narcissa with approval

Tonks was about to respond, when the stronghold's alert began to sound

“Alert, Parameter-Aligned Arcane Activity Detected, Alert, Parameter-Aligned Arcane Activity Detected”

Tonks frowned and ran to the control console, manipulating the interface until he detected the source of the activity

"Bastion, contact the sorcerer supreme, priority zero," Tonks ordered, as he triangulated the precise location

"Contacting..." replied the Runic Intelligence that helped Tonks to direct the place

And a few seconds later, Harry appeared, he was sweaty and agitated, as if he had just fought, behind him, you could see a building on fire, his face denoted annoyance

Alarmed, Tonks asked

"Are you okay?" forgetting protocol for a moment

Harry snorted and said

"Yes, just discipline Talia's stupid father, the helmet thing gets complicated, tell me you've got something good," Harry said calmly

Tonks nodded

"I have it, traces of Bleak magic, faint, as if someone was trying to hide, if the bastion was not deployed, we would not be able to feel it" said the warrior witch

Harry's face lit up with pleasure

“Perfect, location?” asked the sorcerer supreme

"Jump City, in the colonies," said Tonks

Harry nodded quickly

"Perfect, deploy the bastion in the skies of the city and prepare a battalion of automatons, I want you to analyze every street and corner to find the trace we need, see you there" ordered Harry, cutting off communication

Tonks stood, at the same time using his wand to change his casual clothes for his battle robe, his trademark red cloak covering his shoulders

"Bastion, prepare a battalion of exploration automatons and position the station above Jump City," ordered the witch as she looked at her family

"Well, the action has begun, I must go, nice to see you" said the witch with a fake smile as she ran to finish the last preparations

Narcissa just snorted and said

"That girl must learn to control her expressions, that lack of education is not typical of a Black" as she drank from her glass of wine again 

Both Sirius and Andromeda snorted, but nodded, Sirius amused and Andromeda supporting her sister's words

Everyone was so distracted that no one noticed a second alert on the bastion's interface showing an alert of an object approaching the planet

Place of origin? The Vega star system

Destiny? Jump City

Apparently, things would get quite busy in that place 

Robin, Jump City, U.S.

The city was in chaos, and they were losing control of the situation

Hordes of demons appeared in the city out of nowhere, Robin, Wally and Kaldur answered the call for help immediately, trying to evacuate as many civilians as possible

Normally, in this type of situation, they would have called the League for support, there was nothing wrong with asking for support when needed

the problem? The league was already present

And they were taking the beating of their lives, much to Robin's dismay

"This is no coincidence, the villains are selected to complement and neutralize the league," Kaldur said as he killed another pair of demons and helped a young woman escape to the temporary shelter

And Robin agreed with him

Bruce was fighting with Deathstroke, a hand-to-hand duel that had his adoptive father unable to react, Wonder Woman was on a hunt against Circe and was apparently losing, while Superman was fighting a kind of pixie that won't stop laughing and insulting him

"There are too many," Wally said as he attacked another group of demons, only to be ambushed by a larger one and need to be rescued by Kaldur

“Where is Flash?” Robin asked desperately, needing all the help possible

Wally struck one of the demons three times and responded

"A building in Metropolis was attacked, Barry is helping with the evacuation," Wally said with some concern

The endless wave of demons didn't seem to stop

"Has anyone seen Connor and Roy?" Robin asked, only to receive his answer a second later, in a collapsing building

Connor would hit a demon bigger than the rest, while Roy would shoot arrows at the flyers and more agile

"What shall we do, Robin?" asked Aqualad, attacking another group with his Atlantean weapons

And just as the boy wonder was losing hope...

Happened...

An emerald light lit up the sky, followed by a shockwave that moved throughout the city

Everyone watched as an object floated over the city, it looked intimidating and scary, although not exactly hostile

“What the hell is that?” Connor asked with a frown

However, the imposing structure soon ceased to matter, something more impressive grabbing the attention

In the center of the city and a few meters from where the group was a majestic bird made of flames appeared, its mere presence seemed to hurt the demons, for some strange reason, who looked terrified

The silhouette of the burning bird quickly changed to that of a familiar man, who floated calmly over the city, with all the calmness in the world, watching everyone below as if they were insignificant critters

Maybe we are for him, Robin thought

Zatanna's boyfriend, Harry, Robin recalled, raised his hand with his palm to the ground and, with an impassive look, said two words

“Sacrum Ignis”

They were barely a whisper, but the city was so silent that the powerful words were heard by all

And a second later, all hell broke loose in the city, at least for the demons

White flames emerged voraciously from the man's hand, bathing the streets of Jump City with alarming speed and everything and everyone in them

At first, Robin looked alarmed, however, seeing that the terrifying flames ignored humans, but were pure agony for demons, he was able to heave a sigh of relief

"Shit, such a power" said Wally really impressed, seeing how the horde of demons tried, unsuccessfully, to flee the place, the white fire seemed to attract them somehow

In an instant, the streets were completely clean, much to Robin's relief

However, the fight was not over, Harry did not seem inclined to help the league, his attention was on the city itself, he rotated on himself to get a complete vision, evidently looking for something

What was it? Robin did not know it, but he knew it was something important

Harry's presence seemed to attract the attention of the rest of the villains, who watched with fear as the new hero exterminated a horde of demons in the blink of an eye

However, one in particular gave a screech of what seemed to be concern, the pixie who fought Superman completely forgot about the last son of Krypton and appeared next to the powerful sorcerer

“OH LORD HARRY!! BUT WHAT A SURPRISE, I..." However, the aforementioned Lord Harry raised a single finger, and, to the disbelief of both villains and heroes, who knew the power and capabilities of the strange being, the mouth of the now worried goblin disappeared

"I'll deal with you later," he said and Robin watched as Lord Harry cracked his fingers and a white light emanated from his ring, much to the pixie's terror

"NO, EVERYTHING BUT THE RING, PLEASE, I'LL BE GOOD..." however, the words were ignored at the same time that the white light absorbed the pixie inside the ring

"Shit," Circe whispered, completely forgetting about Wonder Woman and beginning to tremble at the imposing vision

“Is... is HIM “whispered the sorceress with obvious terror in her voice

The Sorcerer Supreme has arrived
