My exploration of the Dominator_invasion began with setting up overwatch drones and several geostationary satellites. Much simpler and easier to achieve by teleporting the devices into their desired locations, than by rockets or other outdated tech.
Soon enough, I discovered a salt mine being converted in to a hive-like colony, filled with alien tech and pods.
Beside the 4 dropships landed on Earth, the Dominators also had a Dominators'_mothership and thousands of bits of advanced tech, which made me salivate. Not really dripping, but almost.
Sadly, the rules of engagement for heroes were rather strict, and required actual use of force by the invaders, not simply planning invasion or placing weapons in position. Slightly suicidal, in my view, but then I was over-ruled by the majority of heroes in the Justice League. Oh well. The Earth was visited by some aliens or others every week, some peaceful other less so.
I just made scans and gathered recordings, to make my case or perhaps provide a defense in a trial. Justice League was kinda big on trials, mostly against their own people.
Thus, it took a while until the Dominators showed their hand and abducted the US President in a show of force, also killing most of the Secret Service bodyguards.
A minute later, DEO Director Danvers called me. "Grey Wizard, the Dominators took the President."
"Aha. Invited for tea, and other peaceful talks. Right?" I asked rhetorically.
She grit her teeth audibly, even via phone. "Are you having fun? When we are under an alien invasion?" she yelled at me.
I shrugged, and hummed loudly. "Still not hearing anything actionable. Look, maybe they are having an orgy with the President, using whips and hot wax? Alien cultures are alien, after all. If you want an armed response, demand it in writing, counter-signed by the acting President. And later, a nation-wide address, declaring war on the vile aliens that ambushed the POTUS convoy and stole the President. Until then, I have stuff to do, sister-in-law." I said in a light voice, then ended the call.
Peach poured me another whiskey over ice, then glared at me in silence.
I sipped the whiskey with a wry smile. Sure, it was easy to ask for help verbally, then deny everything with a press conference, leaving me with the idiot ball and charges of war crimes. I was a bit smarter now, so I could sense power plays in the Capital, favors being traded and laws being passed via emergency powers. Which is why I avoided politicians like the scum of the Earth.
"Wizard, you never ask for a written paper. You barely sign any papers at the company either. And only, after the lawyers beg you for weeks." Peach grumbled in her own glass.
"Exactly. They expected me to just react, and jump to defend the Earth, when they haven't even declared war. Which would make me a galactic criminal, causing the massacre of a peaceful delegation that had tea with the President." I explained in a collected voice.
"You didn't use to care about that." Peach argued in a weaker tone. She was already seeing the truth of my words.
"I wasn't a married man, before. Do you want to raise our children alone, while Daddy Wizard rots in a galactic prison somewhere?" I asked in a soft, but kind tone.
Peach sighed, then sipped more whiskey. "Very believable, my sweet Apple. If I didn't know your mind like I do, and if my senses couldn't detect your salivary glands dripping, at the thought of more advanced alien tech. Remember, I know all your glands very well." she spoke with a wry voice, then poked my dick and made it spring up like a python.
Ah. She really was something else, my dear Peach. "Also true. But, the problem stands. I don't need an authorization, or some paper from the President. I just want it. For the next time."
Peach nodded slowly. "You know about more invasions. But, there are things even Magic cannot do. You know too much, big brother." she concluded in a sad voice.
"Technically, there is nothing magic cannot do. Create a new universe, split off timelines...anything you can imagine, and everything else that you can't. But also, magic is...fluffy. Frail, feeble, frangible." I said in a sad voice as well.
We both drank our glasses bottom up. "I see. You want me to stay away. For some reason." Peach deduced with her 1000 INT genius mind.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
"Mind control. I am immune, you are not. I need that tech, so I can study it. Create counter-measures." I explained with a grim voice.
Peach just glared at me. "Half-truths, as if I was Kara? You want to use that tech. Counter-measures as well, but not for your targets. Come on, are we not Wizards? Is there anything in this universe that scares you?" she pushed, even harder.
"I am scared of being alone, again. Losing you or the girls...there are two things that can take you away, mind or soul slavery. You will act as my control via drones and suit cams, and see." I decided with a grieving voice.
Peach poured more whiskey, and stayed silent after this. I think I managed to scare her a little. For too long she had been invincible, against guns and arrows and other silly things used by humans to hurt each other. But learning her powers were useless against something made her wary. "There is more to this. But fine. I get your point." she admitted with a pout. Made her look so cute, and fuckable.
Before I could say anything, Peach had already moved and drew me into a kiss. "I'll help you relax for the mission. Use me like a flying sex doll, I know you love that, husband." she whispered in a seductive voice, unveiling her breasts, then floating on her back for me to use. So I did.
Some time later, Emilia came back from work, so I had more fun with both of them. And later...Kara arrived, with a signed piece of paper.
A Presidential pardon, signed in advance for anything I might have to do, in order to defeat the Dominators and recover the President-elect. Also countersigned by the DOD and DEO directors.
Not quite a Privateer's license to kill and loot the enemy, but close enough.
"This looks alright." Emilia confirmed after a quick read. I just took a screenshot of it, and sent it to Batman via Justicenet.
Kara seemed angry with me, so I blew her a sweet kiss, and teleported away. Sweet tech, come to Daddy!
Deep in the salt mine, I waited under Shadows for the hero team to arrive and try to rescue the President, and when the Dominators revealed their trap and try to disintegrate POTUS, and mind control the heroes, I used my limit.
In less than a second, everything of value was looted, the President saved and returned to his oval office, and the durable Dominators chopped into bits and stored away.
The next second, I arrived on their mothership and butchered the crew, then I spent a full second at lightspeed to learn all I could about their tech, before sending their ship into the Sun. I couldn't risk other people getting their hands of mind control tech.
And teleport back home, just as Wonder Woman pointed at me with her phone in hand. "Wizard! I just saw that paper you sent to Batman. You think you can take another alien invasion, just by yourself?" she growled at me, looking rather pissed.
I blinked at her, then poured myself a drink.
*Ding.
Dominator invasion defeated. +2 free attributes. +5 Intimidation.
I mean, not bad for 3 seconds of my time. Now I had to wait a whole year until the next full scale invasion.
"Hey Diana! Fancy another drink? Maybe remedial husbandry lessons?" I offered in a cheerful voice.
Peach coughed and flew away, already knowing how this was going to end. Plus, it was heroics time for her.
Kara rose a hand up, eager for extra lessons. "I would." she declared with a huge blush.
Diana stared at me for a minute, then back at Peach who was dressing as Orange for work. "It's already over, isn't it?"
Emilia turned her phone, and showed her the countdown timer. 2.81 seconds.
"Fuck me. I married a madman." Diana muttered a bit awed. "Fuck me first, though. I have work tomorrow." Emilia demanded in a professional voice.
Emilia made perfect sense, so I swept her off her feet and rushed onto my new bed. Titanium-boron bed frame, for extra heavy marital duty. The floor was reinforced as well, to sustain jackhammer-strength plowing.
*Affection +1. 70/100.
A minute later, Diana joined us in bed, possibly impressed by my heroics.
A hard-earned point, but so worth it.
*By tasting Wonder Juice, Emilia Wizard has gained +1 MAG.
*By tasting Apple Juice, Diana Wizard has gained +1 MAG.
*By tasting Apple Juice, Emilia Wizard has gained +1 Mag.
*For convincing a goddess to a threesome, you receive +5 Persuasion.
I was in Heaven.
