Myst in DC Part 20 (Patreon)

“Hello? Fat Lady? We need to get into the Tower…” Hermione trailed off as the portrait continued sleeping despite her best efforts.

“Wake up!” Harry snapped, having less patience than Hermione. He frowned when the Fat Lady didn’t even shift. “That’s new.”

“Laever,” Zatanna said as she gestured toward the door. The image in the portrait vanished leaving behind a mirror inside the portrait frame. “It looks like the portraits are merely illusions in the replica.”

“Do you remember the password from the end of the year?” Myst asked.

“Fairy lights,” Hermione said then quickly stepped back when the door swung open. “At least it should be easy to remember.”

“Unlike some of them,” Harry said as he walked into the Gryffindor common room, a touch surprised to find that it looked exactly like the common room at Hogwarts. “Nice attention to detail but we should probably upgrade some of the furniture,” he said thoughtfully as the group walked into the room.

“We could always grab the magic couch from the lounge,” Myst suggested as he looked at his mana. “I’m going to need to spend some mana before my mana pool is completely full.”

Artemis grinned as she flopped down in a comfortable looking chair. “I’d love a boost to my magic if you’re offering.”

“Same,” Beast Boy agreed, looking forward to being able to pull off some magic tricks.

“That’s not a bad idea,” Zatanna agreed. “If we get everyone boosted to a decent level then we should be able to teach them at least one of the spells from the magazine which would help them start practicing. The chains spell would likely come in handy as a hero.”

“Or for other reasons,” Artemis said thoughtfully.

“I’d love to learn a few healing spells,” Karen said, knowing that the League was critically short on healers.

“I’d like to see the entire League pick up the basics but we’ll see how it goes.” Myst twitched and looked over at the window when he heard something knocking on the window frame. He relaxed when he saw Starfire smiling at them through the window. He used telekinesis and opened the window for her. “Did you see anything interesting in the forest?”

“Horses with horns and some tiny flying dragons with butterfly wings,” Starfire said cheerfully as she flew in through the window.

“What type of dragons have butterfly wings?” Harry asked, fairly sure Hagrid would have mentioned any local dragons.

“Faerie dragons,” Xander offered, thinking about the witch that Willow played in their Dungeons and Dragons game that had a faerie dragon familiar.

“Are you sure they exist?” Hermione asked, having never heard of them before.

“No but nothing else springs to mind,” he replied with a shrug. “We’re mostly focused on researching various types of demons.”

“I’ll have to take a look later,” Beast Boy mused, always interested in picking up useful new forms.

“On that note, let’s do some upgrading.” Myst looked at Artemis and opened her upgrade options and sunk 22,000 mana, boosting her basic magical ability up to something more reasonable for a magic user. “That should be enough to get started.”

Zatanna giggled as the mana wave washed over her. “Remember small pulses are better.”

“The fireplace in the background would make a nice backdrop and we need a signed photo, do you mind taking some photos?” Willow asked Beast Boy.

“That’s why I have my camera,” Beast Boy said cheerfully as he held the camera up.

“Great!” Willow giggled as she reached down, grabbed her t-shirt and pulled it over her head. She looked at Starfire’s breasts. “Can I borrow your breasts for a photo?”

Beast Boy blinked, still not quite used to the changes in the world thought certainly likely the ones he’d run into so far.

“What do I need to do?” Starfire asked, wondering if this was a witch thing or just an Earth thing that she hadn’t ran into before.

Willow walked over and adjusted a loveseat chair so that the fireplace was in the background then sat down in the chair, leaving enough room for Xander to sit next to her. “Just walk over behind me and rest your breasts on my head.”

“That I can do,” Starfire said cheerfully as she flew over behind Willow then rested her hands on the chair’s arms and leaned over so her breasts were resting on the witch’s head. “Like that?”

“Perfect.” Willow gestured at the empty seat next to her. “Get over here Xander.”

Xander mock saluted then skipped over and flopped down next to Willow. “Now what?”

“Now we just need a naked girl in our laps.” Willow smiled at Buffy.

Buffy glanced between Myst and Harry then shrugged and started stripping. “I’d love to.”

“That looks fun.” Sabrina giggled as she sprawled across Raven and Zatanna’s laps. “Spend some mana Myst!”

Zatanna patted Sabrina on her stomach, trying not to stare at Sabrina’s breasts or crotch when then girl’s clothes vanished.

“That looks a little uneven, do you need another pair of breasts?” Artemis asked with amusement.

“I certainly wouldn’t object if you wanted to use my humble head for a resting place for your magnificent breasts,” Xander offered.

Artemis snickered as she pulled her shirt off and ran over to get into the picture.

“Sure.” Myst dropped another 10,000 mana into his pedometer, dropping it down to 395 steps required before it paid out.

Sabrina giggled as she grabbed Zatanna’s hand and moved it to her crotch. “Show me a good time?”

Zatanna blushed as she started trailing her fingers over Sabrina’s crotch, feeling more than a little turned on between the mana pulses and watching Buffy step out of her underwear. Not to mention the way Starfire and Artemis’s breasts were on display. ‘I love this world!’

Buffy grinned as she draped herself over her friend’s lap and smiled for the camera.

Hermione pressed herself up against Harry as she glanced between the girls on the chair and Sabrina getting finger fucked. “You should be taking pictures.”

Beast Boy twitched and quickly brought his digital camera up to his eye. “Say cheese!” he said with a smirk as he started taking pictures of the girls, making sure to frame things so that the background added to the picture rather than detracted.

Hermione reached out and ran her fingers through Harry’s hair as she glanced between Sabrina and the girls on the chair as Buffy shifted position and moved Xander or Willow’s hands to various parts of her body so they could get some amusing pictures. “What do you think, chair or bed for our photo shoot?”

Harry glanced over at Kara and Karen who had given up pretending not to be amused. “Chair, that way we can swap people in and out and get done with the pictures in a reasonable timeframe.”

“A bed wouldn’t exactly stop us from swapping people in and out,” Hermione said, looking at Sabrina as she started wiggling in pleasure.

“No but I’d want to take my time,” Harry said, glancing between Sabrina and Zatanna and Kara and Karen. "Besides, Ginny would pout if we had an orgy without her,” he added halfheartedly.

Buffy grinned as she rolled off their laps and onto her feet. “Okay, the seat is free.”

Myst dropped 10,000 mana from his pendant into his pedometer then quickly did it twice more.

Sabrina squealed as the waves of mana pushed her over the edge.

Hermione shivered as three waves washed over her then quickly took her top off, revealing perfect B-Cup breasts and smooth pale creamy skin. “Sorry, I’m not passing up a chance at playing with gorgeous girls just because Ginny might pout.” She tossed her shirt onto an empty chair.

“Completely understandable,” Harry agreed as he walked over to the chair as Xander slipped out of it. “Can I sit here?”

Willow smiled at Harry. “Have a seat.”

“Don’t mind if I do,” Harry said as he sat down next to Willow.

Artemis grinned as she rested her breasts on Harry’s head. “You should probably boost Kara and Karen’s magic while we’re thinking about it.”

“Yes?” Myst asked, keeping his gaze on Hermione as she unzipped her shorts.

“Go for it,” Kara replied, not taking her eyes off Hermione as she dropped her shorts to the floor, revealing pink silk panties with a magically animated black kitten that was simply adorable on them. “I need to learn to enchant my clothes like that.”

“Same,” Karen agreed absently as she studied Hermione.

Myst tossed 10,000 mana into upgrading Karen’s magic ability while doing his best to burn the scene into his memory. He dropped another 10,000 mana to boost Kara’s magic. “Okay, everyone should have a decent amount of magical oomph now, I’ll upgrade the rest of the team when I can.”

“Best day ever,” Sabrina said cheerfully as she grabbed Raven’s hand and moved it to her breasts.

Raven rolled her eyes but didn’t move her hand.

“Second best day ever,” Myst said thoughtfully.

“What was the first?” Beast Boy blurted.

Myst smiled at Zatanna and Raven. “Getting linked to Zatanna and Raven and finding out I have magic.” Sure, he might have been stretching the truth a bit with today being the second best day he’d ever had as he remembered some fun and interesting things over the years but most of them had been a process rather than one perfect day. Besides, it wasn’t every day that you got a pocket dimension with a magical castle or got to watch a group of gorgeous heroines strip though he could certainly get used to it.

Hermione glanced at Zatanna and Raven then looked back at Myst with a smile as she pushed her panties down then let them drop, revealing her bare kitty. “I still remember seeing my first spell when McGonagall’s cast it, that moment when I realized that I wasn’t crazy and magic was real.”

“It’s certainly something,” Myst agreed, rather happy that killing Klarion had improved the world.

Artemis looked at Harry. “What about you?”

“I was on a small island on my first ever vacation if you can call being dragged into a storm the day before my birthday a vacation when I learned magic was real. It was just after midnight when Hagrid broke down the door and gave me my first ever birthday present or at least the first one I remember.” Harry mused as he glanced between Hermione and Sabrina. “It was right up there with halloween in first year when Hermione thanked me for saving her from a troll.”

Hermione smiled at Harry. “You saved my life and stole my heart.”

“I’d do it again in a heartbeat,” Harry assured her.

“Only birthday present?” Raven muttered as she glanced between Buffy and Hermione, enjoying the view despite her best efforts at remaining in control. “Speaking of upgrades, can you upgrade my emotional control?”

Myst turned his head slightly so he could see Raven while keeping Hermione in view as she sat on the arm rest then leaned back, giving everyone a nice view. “I don’t have a spell to directly snap the link to your father, but I bet we could make your father snap the link himself with a bit of tweaking.”

“Oh?” Raven asked, trying not to react at the idea of being free of her father’s shadow or the fact that Myst was aware of the connection.

Willow smiled when Hermione grabbed her hand and moved it to her stomach. ‘Today is certainly turning out better than I was expecting.’

Myst glanced at Raven’s bond with her father with his upgrade ability, trying to pay attention to Hermione and figure out how Raven’s bond with her father worked. “If we boost the emotional feedback of the link, we could probably overload him with love. He can mostly ignore your emotions right now because they’re muted, with only strong emotions leaking through. I can focus the link on love and affection rather than strong emotions in general, I can even magnify it until we can cripple him with puppies, ice cream, and some hugs!”

Raven shook her head at Myst’s sense of humor, her lips curling into a slight smile despite herself. “It would probably take more than ice cream and hugs.”

“Puppies are good though,” Beast Boy said thoughtfully as he worked on taking pictures.

“I’m game,” Zatanna blurted then blushed when Raven looked at her. “I mean if we can snap your link to your father, you won’t have to worry about being in control all the time. If that requires me to hold your hand, hug you or kiss you, I’m more than willing to.”

“Same,” Sabrina said cheerfully, looking up at Zatanna with a smile.

Myst dropped another 20,000 into his pedometer, dropping the number of steps down to 345. ‘At least it’s getting closer to being useful.’

Artemis giggled as she mana washed over her tickling her. “That’s awesome.” She glanced at Myst then looked at Raven. “If it helps, I can make you melt with my tongue,” she offered as Buffy sprawled over Willow’s lap and the chair.

Raven shook her head. “If this doesn’t work, he’ll send demons to kill us.”

“I’m The Slayer, slaying demons is what I do,” Buffy said proudly.

Xander nodded. “Buffy’s right. If you boost her base strength and endurance into the supernatural range then give her the Re’em infused bottle of Coke and a holy sword, I doubt he has anything that can stop her.”

Myst was fairly sure that Buffy had been playing in the kiddie pool of evil compared to Trigon but Xander wasn’t wrong, she’d probably be able to kill most of Trigon’s elite demons with the right weapon, but he wasn’t sure how to actually kill Trigon if his trick with the link failed considering he’d taken out entire worlds and beat the League in various comics. Of course, he’d also been defeated by Raven in various comics so it was somewhat of a toss up. He looked over at Kara and Karen. “What do you think? Assuming we can get some decent magical protection, are you up for killing a demon lord?”

“The battle shall be glorious!” Starfire said with a smile.

“I’d be happy to help with research,” Hermione offered as she moved Willow’s hand off her stomach and ‘up’ to her breasts, figuring Willow needed a reward for keeping her hand where she put it.

Karen considered the question. “We’d need better magical defenses and an unbreakable weapon or two, but we’ll help when the time comes.”

Kara nodded. “Being a hero isn’t about being safe, it’s about doing the right thing.”

“I’ll work on my gachas, I’m bound to get magical defense gear eventually.” Myst opened his gacha menu and glanced at his options, keeping the rest of his attention on Willow’s hand and Hermione’s face, rather amused that Beast Boy was still taking pictures. ‘Rings for 20,000, yeah, that’s expensive. Umbrellas for 50, Watch for 100, Food, 2,000? That means it’s probably worth grabbing. Weapons 200 and Hats for 300.’ He spent the 20,000 points for the Ring wheel.

Zatanna shivered as the mana flowed over her then looked at the spinning wheel. “Magic ring?”

“Apparently,” Myst replied, not sure what he was going to get.

Kara took her shirt off then walked over and sat on the edge of the chair. “Let’s grab some pictures then work on spells.”

“This should be fun,” Sabrina said cheerfully.

Karen snickered at the look on Beast Boy’s face, wondering why he was acting so shy, then reached down and pulled her shirt off. “That’s a great idea.” She walked over and carefully sat on the other arm. “Like what you see?”

“Yes! Now say cheese,” Beast Boy said as he took another picture. He took a couple of steps back then rotated the camera and took another couple of shots.

Myst blinked when he got a flash from his precog ability informing him that he absolutely without a doubt needed to be out of the room when the wheel stopped or horrific things would happen and that he needed to stick the ring in his inventory before the girl with Giovanni walked into the room. “Sorry,” he stood up and tapped his heels together, “precog, upgrade for the League,” then tapped them together again, “I’ll be back in ten minutes or maybe slightly longer.”

“We’ll work on learning the new spells,” Zatanna said, looking forward to trying some of the interesting spells in the magazine.

“Cool, don’t have too much fun without me,” he teased then tapped his heels together a third time and shifted back to the lounge. He reached out and caught the simple yet malevolent feeling gold ring that dropped then quickly placed it in his inventory as he heard footsteps coming down the hall. He quickly shifted back to his normal form then spent the 100 mana for the Watch wheel.

Giovanni blinked when he walked into the room and saw a spinning wheel floating in front of Myst. “Watches?”

Myst stared at the familiar girl that walked in with Giovanni. ‘I guess that saves me a letter and a trip to find her family.’ He shrugged. “It’s basically like fishing, you have to actually take the time if you want to catch anything useful.”

“Have you caught anything useful?” Tara Maclay asked as she studied the blue humanoid slime, barely resisting the urge to walk over and poke him in the arm to see how squishy he was. “Tara Maclay,” she introduced herself.

“Myst,” he replied, “glad to meet you.” He turned back to Giovani. “A couple of things. Let me guess, here for mental defenses?”

Giovanni nodded. “The works, mental defenses and the best anti scrying amulet you can make, she has a number of demonic assassins after her.”

“That sounds like a story,” Myst said, trying to figure out why someone would want to kill Tara enough to send demonic assassins after her.

“My grandmother on my father’s side is a demon,” Tara admitted. “One of her rivals sent the assassins.”

Myst reached out and caught the cheap looking plastic watch that dropped when the wheel stopped. He looked at the watch with his upgrade ability. “Nice, it has a 5% discount on nature spells.” He didn’t see a point in mentioning the rest of the effects in front of Giovanni, he doubted that he’d really approve of turning the entire group into magic users, especially with his theory about karma and magic. ‘Still, the fact that you could basically learn plant growth just by casting it a few times with the watch was nice.’

“Why would you put that on a plastic watch?” Tara asked.

Myst shrugged. “My gacha ability is fairly random.”

“We just need to keep her hidden for a few days, maybe a week until Constantine has time to deal with it.” Normally Giovanni wouldn’t have involved Constantine, but he was running out of options or places to hide her that didn’t involve Shadowcrest and Constantine was the expert when it came to demons.

“I can certainly give her mental defenses and gear, let’s see what we’re working with.” Myst caught a flash of precog and dove at Tara, knocking her to the couch and out of the way as a portal shimmered into existence where she’d been standing. He rolled to his feel and conjured a wall of light in front of the couch and the Hogwarts Snow globe then jumped at the humanoid blue skinned demon that had just stepped out of the portal.

“Yloh!” Giovanni incanted as he gestured at the demon.

The demon ignored the spell as he grabbed Myst by the neck, stopping his jump cold. “You are not the one we seek though you are valuable. Give us the girl and live magi.”

Myst was just glad that he didn’t need to breathe because he had a feeling it would be rather difficult with the demon’s hand on his throat. He conjured a glowing trident of light and stabbed the demon in the crotch as hard as he could.

The demon howled in pain and anger then backhand Myst, sending him sprawling despite his force field taking most of the blow.

Myst conjured a glowing wall of light on the other side of the portal as he could see more demons coming then conjured glowing chains of light around the demon. “For Pony!” he shouted as he lunged forward and stabbed the demon through the neck with his trident.

“Esolc!” Giovanni incanted as he focused on the portal.

Myst sighed in relief when the portal was forced closed. “Yeah, that was fun,” he muttered sarcastically. He turned to look at Tara as she pulled herself to her feet, looking a bit shell-shocked. “I think protection from scrying just jumped up the list of things to worry about.” He glanced at the snow globe, relieved that it was safe and sound. ‘I really need to upgrade the glass to be unbreakable or the next best thing before something breaks it.’

“Sorry,” Tara offered, not sure how to apologize for bringing them trouble.

“It’s not your fault, the cloaking spell takes a fair bit of concentration,” Giovanni admitted, fairly sure the demons had either punched through the spell with a mystical relic or his concentration had slipped.

“Let’s deal with the scrying protection first.” Myst gestured at the Celtic knotwork necklace he was wearing. “What do you think of the design Tara?”

Tara looked at Myst’s rather expensive looking necklace. “I like the knotwork and the amethyst, but I’m not an expert.”

“Good enough for now.” Myst gestured at his necklace. “Gemino.”

Giovanni looked at the tarnished duplicate necklace in Myst’s hands. “Where did you learn that?”

“Constantine’s apprentice.” Myst focused on his necklace and turned the copied necklace into a knock-off. He looked at the knock off with his upgrade ability. ‘10,000 mana storage and 10 mana a second regen for the mana battery, anti-scrying and the magic girl form bit looks good if a bit weaker than the original, I think she can live with that for the moment.’ He handed the pendant to Tara. “That should stop the demons from finding you.”

“Thank you!” Tara quickly put the necklace on, eyes widening as she felt the various spells connected to it and the massive mana pool it gave her. “Now what?”

“Shouldn’t that take longer?” Giovanni asked as he studied the powerful and complex magical necklace Myst had basically conjured from thin air.

Myst shrugged. “Probably, but magic is mostly power, visualization and desire. I have plenty of power and desire and I have a magical ability that lets me cheat on the visualization bit.” He looked at Tara’s upgrade options. “Upgrading your defenses might take a bit longer than I thought from the looks of things.”

“My defenses are that bad, aren’t they?” Tara asked, worried that being part demon had made her even more susceptible than most people to certain mental attacks.

“They’re decent enough, you just have additional options that most people don’t.” Myst blinked when Tara’s stomach rumbled. “How are you doing for food?”

Tara shifted uncomfortably. “I had lunch yesterday, things have been a bit chaotic... and I haven’t gotten so much as a hug in the last three days.”

“I’m sorry, I should have asked,” Giovanni admitted, having planned to make sure she got some food once she got here.

Myst focused on his food creation ability and conjured a box of supreme meat lover’s pizza. “In that case, let’s eat and if that will satisfy you for now, we can discuss your upgrade options.”

Myst looked at the large collection of naked bodies, including three Hermione’s sprawled on various chairs and couches. “I’m fairly sure this constitutes too much fun,” he pouted.
