My visit at the Justice League station was a bit strange today.

We had a new hero joining us, called Zatanna_Zatara , and her overpowered sidekick called Koriand'r which translated as Starfire.

Obviously, I ignored both of them and began to set up my Miracle stand, since I was a married hero, not a fuckboy running after pussy.

However, I did place a few Beauty and Fortify potions among my gifts, and a pair of Bastion Miracles. It would be a pity of these two beautiful women got hurt while acting heroic, right?

Didn't work like I have planned. Somehow, my plans rarely seem to work. Zatanna stepped in front of me and waved her wand. " Hey, pay attention to me! I'm fascinating." she demanded in a stage voice, while wearing a revealing stage outfit, which included a hat.

"Amazingly so." I allowed in a polite voice, then searched around for my friend the Green Martian, who had managed to vanish by some accident.

"Are you truly such a powerful wizard?" Starfire asked and came really close, possibly trying to steal a kiss like she was known to do.

I drew back, and turned away, deftly escaping the predicament by my amazing speed and spatial orientation.

"It seems Grey Wizard is far more shy than we were lead to believe." Zatanna complained in a dejected voice.

"I'm a married man, and Starfire has already buried two husbands. As for the circus lady, I am quite scared of anything like that. Childhood trauma..." I muttered and hid behind Hawkman.

"Pussy!" the winged hero muttered with his mouth closed. He was right, of course. And brave too, speaking like this to me. Bravery should be rewarded.

I opened my palm and offered him a Lesser Radiance Miracle, even better than what J'onn had received, since it was made by the Book of Destiny, not my meager skills.

"Hurry up and drink this, brave hero. It will hurt some, but will give you jet fighter speed." I urged him while keeping an eye on the two annoying women.

Hawkman was indeed a brave man. He took the Miracle in one gulp, and simply fumed inwards for 20 seconds while the potion transformed him into a super-powered being. "Damn, it really hurt." he muttered in a gentle voice, then slammed his hand on my shoulder. "Let's get some drinks. I feel my vision is getting blurry." he asked in a soft voice, likely feeling his perception and senses taking fire from the bright lights in the main hall.

I moved him at speed into the conference room, keeping the lights off. Hiding behind the sound-proofed doors, the Martian Hunter and Aquaman were drinking their sorrow away in relative peace and darkness.

I covered Hawkman in my Shadows to allow him some relief from the sense increase, and placed a whiskey glass in his hand. He drowned into the glass in an instant, then groaned. "It still hurts."

"You gave him the Radiance?" J'onn asked in a wary voice.

"A lesser version of it, yes. He'll be fine." I answered and poured myself some booze.

"I see you met the new heroines. Starfire is slated to join the Teen League, along with Aqualad and a bunch of other kids." Aquaman said in a rough voice.

I just scanned him and found his lungs were damaged badly by something corrosive. "Still a pussy, I see." I offered in a casual tone, then rolled a Regen potion towards his hand.

"I'm not a pussy! I just don't trust your magic." he muttered in constant pain.

I just shrugged and rolled the potion into J'onn's hand. "I found out who was behind the Extremists invasion of Earth. Some guy called Overmaster . At least Tier 2, and possibly Tier 1. He'll be coming to Earth sometime soon."

"Is that bad? J'onn?" Aquaman asked as the Martian shifted his face a few times.

"An archangel is Tier 1, or a cosmic entity like Ion, the one who powers the Green Lanterns. Do you think it's bad?" J'onn answered in a rhetorical tone.

"Fuck. I'm not in shape to fight something like that." Aquaman decided, then grabbed the Regen potion and drank it in a hurry.

The Green Martian just stared at me for a long minute. "If you summon archangel Gabriel, maybe we can turn it away." he proposed in a rational voice.

"Hmmm. That scumbag angel cannot be trusted. He allowed the Worldkillers to live, last time. Even showed up to collect my soul, when I fucked up and died a month ago. I was too weak to kiss his ass then...plus Lucifer was there too. One Tier 1 entity at time is my rule. They're fucking scary anyways." I grumbled in my glass, then poured more.

"Errrr. Who killed you, Grey Wizard?" Aquaman asked in a horrified tone. His voice was already normal though. My Miracles worked like a miracle.

"Did it myself, of course. By accident. I tried a super-powerful Miracle, without taking enough precautions. Despite all the good stuff you hear about me, I'm barely at Tier 2 myself, not a cosmic entity. I still die sometimes." I explained with a shrug.

"Only at the level of Poseidon or Ares. And you dare to complain to us..." the Green Martian complained and poured himself more booze from my bottle.

"Do you have a spell to bring you back from Death, or Hell, or wherever wizards go?" Aquaman asked a bit too curious.

"I do, but I rather not use demonic rituals or angelic sigils on myself. They come with strings attached, and a whole host of problems. I used something like this." I said in a calm voice, then set down another Lesser Radiance 8.9 in front of me.

J'onn measured the vial with his new magic senses, then glanced at Hawkman who was still covered in protective Shadows. "It would be a great gift. You could learn the true magic of Atlantis with it. And gain a spare life." he told Aquaman in a knowing voice.

"Hawkman took this, just now?" Aquaman asked with a frown.

"And so did I, before the Argo mission. Remember why we are here. That Zatanna girl is still outside." J'onn pointed out with a sad smile.

Aquaman scowled. "It was only a small flirt. I didn't deserve being turned into a fish."

*Affection +11. 21/100

*Affection +11. 21/100

*Affection +15. 36/100

*Affection +15. 36/100. Starfire will accept a threesome, should you ask. Also willing to offer blowjobs, sex and marriage.

Oh, right. The new Starfire girl was an alien sexy babe from outer space. Who already buried two husbands, so marriage was out. But, she would be helpful to fight this Overmaster dude, when he tried to invade Earth.

Her starbolts were more powerful than most of my spells already. A few more Miracles to buff her stats and she'll be a decent Tier 2 hero.

Aquaman picked up the vial and popped the cork with his thumb, then drank the fateful formula. It was the right choice of course, but he needed the examples of others.

Zatanna and Starfire burst into the conference room, and stared in surprise at the two heroes covered in Shadows, while two more drank whiskey on the job.

"An important meeting, and dangerous secrets? Not simply drinking your fears away?" Zatanna wondered and elbowed her side-kick.

"Hello, Grey Wizard. I am a new hero from planet Tamaran. And yes, I did bury two husbands..." she offered in a polite voice, while measuring me for a dick sandwich.

"And got experimented on by the Citadel and then the Psions..." I said in a knowing voice, and didn't mention the six years of sexual abuse by the Citadel.

Starfire lit up and glared at me. 'Don't worry, sexy babe from outer space. Your secret is safe with me. For your willful help.' I transmitted into Starfire's mind, and she powered down in a dejected mood.

Zatanna glanced between me and her side-kick. "What was that?" she asked a bit later.

"Starfire wants to learn magic from me. And you will train Hawkman and Aquaman, maybe even our only Martian." I decided on a whim, and burst forth with a powerful Light of the Soul.

*Affection +3. 39/100

*Affection +4. 40/100 Starfire will have your babies, should you ask.

I blinked at the blushing alien babe, then glanced towards Zatanna who sat down and drank from my bottle without a care. "Your soul is as powerful as an ancient god, maybe equal to Osiris or Apollo." she whispered in a surprised voice.

I took out another bottle and poured drinks for me, J'onn and Starfire. "This is only my normal state. I do get stronger if I have to fight." I explained in a polite tone, and set down more Miracles on the table.

Zatanna and Starfire glanced at each other, then back at the dozen of inhalers and vials on the table. "We took those pills and the two vials you left for us. What are these?" Zatanna asked in wonder.

"In order, they are Heal, Haste, Sage, Miracle, Magic and Radiance. I wrote on the label what they do." I pointed out and sipped more booze while J'onn shook his bald head.

"You seem really worried about this Overmaster. Is he that strong?" the Green Martian asked in a casual voice.

"About three times stronger than me, at my best. I'm going to need your help with Overmaster, or you'll all die and I'll have to find a new planet to live." I answered in a sad voice, and saw Starfire and Zatanna pale at the news.

"I can call in some favors." Zatanna proposed in a peaceful voice, already thinking what forces she could summon to help.

"We cannot use anyone too fragile. The Green Lanterns, Superman, Mon-El maybe Fuerza and Amazing Man . I'll also bring a few powerful spellcasters to slow him down. These three will die in the first second, for example." I pointed towards J'onn and the two new magic heroes. I was exaggerating slightly, since J'onn was even stronger now than Superman was in his original form.

J'onn groaned again, and gulped more whiskey. Being considered a fragile glass cannon must have hurt his pride. I knew well how that felt.
