"Husband, don't be a cheap-skate! Give me better Miracles than 1.9 versions! " Sara demanded after Talia left, to deal with her murder business.

"Oh? You want a criminal like Captain Cold, flying around and unleashing magic spells to hold entire countries at ransom?" I asked with a wry grin.

"...Maybe not him. But Ava...I don't want to lose her to a random arrow or bullet." Sara murmured in a lower voice.

I sighed. Too much good was just as bad. But then grinned inward and gave Sara a Heal, Fortify and Sage potion as well as 2.8 Miracle inhaler. "Heal, inhale, Fortify then lastly Sage. In that order and during same day. And burn the containers after. A single drop from a Miracle found by someone in ancient Rome would erase this entire timeline. And also, do carry out your missions during night or rain, fog or blizzard, or use some invisibility cloak." I advised Sara in a skeptical voice.

Sara raised a finger to argue, then sighed. "We were seen by too many people."

"And don't be afraid to wear armor. Chainmail at least. Also, helmets and loose cloaks or robes. An armored person surviving arrows or bullets is less suspicious then bouncing off spears with your boobs." I pointed out and poked her torn chest shirt, where her Bastion Miracle had bounced off something long and sharp.

Sara nodded with a guilty face, and teleported away, into an invisible Waverider hovering over Tibet. I sipped my whiskey and smiled a bit too wide.

*Ava Sharpe - Affection +30, 40/100.

Haha! I has only been a minute for me. I would have made a perfect Sith Lord.

I teleported back to the Watchtower, where a UEF escort ship was being prepared for the next mission.

"Rejoice, for the Grey Wizard has arrived!" the VI assistant announced in a proud voice.

Wonder Woman flew into my arms, actually rejoicing to see me. "Grey Wizard! Did I hear right? You can make better Miracles now?" she asked out loud. Possibly a show for the other heroes, who weren't as joyful as expected.

I enjoyed the hug for a dozen seconds too long. " Of course, my divine wife. I almost died three times, and it hurt so bad I almost cried. Alas, as a modern Prometheus, stealing the fire from the gods is painful and dangerous as expected." I answered perfectly truthful.

Diana frowned for a second, but that might be from my hands grabbing her divine ass in public.

"Grey Wizard, can I see it?" Green Lantern asked a bit curious.

I turned to find Jordan holding a fluffy orange wild bobcat, wearing a green mask just like he was. Observe let me know the heroic cat's name, Wildcat.

"It's an honor to meet you in person, Wildcat. Here, this Miracle I prepared especially for you!" I declared a bit bombastically, then took out an early X-kryptonite inhaler, that also worked on cats.

While everyone watched in stupefied confusion, I sprayed the amber formula inside the cat's lungs, even urging Wildcat to inhale deeply via telepathy.

"Miaaaawewwww!" Wildcat roared and ran around like a race car, causing pandemonium and scratching several cowardly heroes that didn't take durability Miracles.

"Come back, Wildcat!" Green Lantern yelled and chased after his cat with a green butterfly scoop, which made Wildcat jump and twist in impossible ways to escape.

"The name was aptly chosen, Wildcat. Green Lantern must be a genius!" I observed just as J'onn emerged from the conference room, followed by Batman, Aquaman and the Flash.

"Wildcat is quite fast, for a cat." Flash noted with his amazing intellect.

"Just catch it. They'll demolish the main hall if this goes on." Batman muttered with a bit of envy. Wildcat was now faster than he was, and he didn't have a special counter-measure prepared.

I grabbed the Green Martian by the neck, but in the friendly way, and dragged him back into the conference room. Superman was here, brooding by himself like always.

I locked the door to provide us some privacy. "Here is your Miracle, J'onn. Kal El will observe the effects for the rest of the Justice League." I said calmly and offered him the Lesser Radiance.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

"It looks evil, and dangerous." Superman noted with his keen senses.

As J'onn drank the vial I nodded as well. "Dangerous and extremely painful. Green Lantern could take this pain, and maybe Diana." I spoke in a cold voice, and stepped beside Superman to observe.

Our friendly Green Martian distorted as he lost control of his shapeshifting, and his mental powers began to fail around wildly. I unleashed my Light of Soul, and pushed back.

"He's screaming in my mind." Superman said with a pained wince. Of course, without the mental headband, a telepathic Martian was quite dangerous to be around. Not for me, but for anyone else for sure.

I covered Superman with a blanket of protective telepathy, then shielded the room's walls as well.

Then, as the Martian Hunter began to glow red in the eyes, I pushed a tendril of Dark Magic towards him, forcing him to fight for his life and soul, or die.

I might not be the best Magic teacher around, but evolution took care of the rest. J'onn didn't want to die, so he struggled to form his own Light of the Soul and pushed back, quite decently for a new magic user.

Far better than I was, when Fortuna smacked me around in her nexus.

Thus, when J'onn returned to a mild form of self-control, I threw a Magic 5.0 potion at him. "Drink this, to solidify your soul. Kal El has already tried it."

J'onn shifted back to his human form, and tried to punch me with his other hand, not holding a precious Miracle. I just used Superman as a test dummy and pushed him inside the strike.

'Bang.' Superman bounced away and embedded into the metal wall like a crash-test dummy. J'onn stared at his fist, then back at Superman who was down and a bit groggy.

"Uh. Sorry Kal." he muttered and sat down to drink his potion.

Superman rose and rubbed his chin in astonishment. "You hit like a Kryptonian now, J'onn. Wizard wasn't joking."

"And he has Magic too, if not the knowledge of spells. Only the Light of the Soul." I added with a careless shrug, and sat down to sip some iced whiskey.

Superman held his palm out and began to glow mildly as well. "By Rao! I know Magic too!" he exclaimed a bit surprised.

Oh well, 200 MAG wasn't bad anyways. Especially for Superman who has always been mostly a flying brick.

I conjured a small water dragon and a water mirror for the dragon to run from side to side, then swim in it like in a pond.

"You remember Tiny? Imagine if you train yours to eat drugs..." I proposed with a wicked smile.

"Crazy wizard. I almost died. For real." J'onn murmured with a groan., then copied my small dragon by making an even smaller lizard without wings.

"On the other hand, I managed to give you an extra life, like I have. Don't spend it all in one place." I said with a wry tone. Maybe the System had a point.

"Really?" Superman asked in confusion.

"The Worldkillers also have it. Resurrection is kinda implied with divine blessings." I explained with a shrug.

"...That sounds even worse. We should fix the problem now." J'onn muttered as he gathered his wits and stood up.

I checked my inventory and found only two Bastions remaining. Harun El was still the limiting factor for good Miracles. "Take the Bastion too, J'onn. It's not only bullet bouncing but also some mental defense." I offered in a kinder voice, and dispelled the telepathic walls.

Superman nodded a bit sad. "Bastion won't be so bad. Even Lois could take it."

J'oon drank the potion just as Wonder Woman and Green Lantern burst into the conference room.

"I thought you were going to beat up the wizard, not Superman." Diana noted wisely, from a single glance at the blue fist mark on Superman's cheek.

Superman shuddered and shook his head. "Far safer to hit me instead. "

Green Lantern frowned and held out his Wildcat sidekick. "What did you do to my cat, Grey Wizard?"

"Better senses, more speed? Do you think we should make Wildcat fly too?" I asked curious.

"No!" A chorus answered in outrage.

"When cats can fly, wasn't it? People have no respect for old proverbs." I muttered in my glass.

Wildcat nodded at me just as sad. Cats could fly too!
