A/N: Claire gets to know some Amazons~
-x-X-x-
Funnily enough, Claire's instinct is to say 'no'. Even if she appreciates the offer as well as Wonder Woman saying that she has a place among the Amazons of Themyscira, she's still a bit leery of stepping outside of her comfort zone. Sticking with Galatea and Blackfire was probably the safest option.
… However, what stops her from going with that instinct is knowing what Lucien would want. He'd sent her and Tea up here in the first place to not only help the Justice League, but also to make connections outside of just him.
Now obviously Claire already knew deep down inside that she would never abandon her savior, and that as soon as Cadmus was decisively dealt with, she would return to his side. At the same time though, she understood that Lucien had wanted her to explore all her options… and this was one thing where she thinks he probably would be disappointed if he found out she'd passed on this opportunity.
Stifling the urge to sigh, Claire simply nods.
"… Yes, I'll fight alongside you."
The smile Wonder Woman gives her is a proud one and makes Claire feel warm all over again. Especially when the Amazon reaches over and places a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm happy to hear that. We'll be happy to have you."
Claire just nods, not trusting herself to speak. She just hopes that this all goes well. Cadmus needs to be defeated and she'll be happy to take part in ripping them out by the roots, but at the same time… she won't let anything keep her from getting back to Lucien's side.
-x-X-x-
It takes a bit of time for the Justice League to get everything ready. They not only had to set everything up so that they could hit every Cadmus Facility they were aware of at the exact same time, after all. They also had to have further backup in place for if they discovered that there were even more sites to raid than they originally knew about.
The sheer amount of plans they'd made is definitely too much for Claire to keep track of, but fortunately she's not in charge of anything but herself and the team she's on. Blackfire and Tea were understanding about her decision too, thankfully, so just a couple of days after they'd brought the information from the lab where she and Tea were created to the League, everything was just about ready to kick off.
"Hey! I'm Cassandra Sandsmark, but you can call me Cassie! Or Wonder Girl, you're pick!"
"And I'm Donna Troy, aka Troia. I was the original Wonder Girl. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Amazons were, of course, in a weight class entirely of their own. Maybe they weren't quite as powerful as Kryptonians, but in the end with how much ground they had to cover and how thinly stretched the League already was, Wonder Woman's team wound up being just four people including Claire. There was her, Wonder Woman, and then Wonder Woman's two proteges.
There was the one that Wonder Woman had mentioned, Wonder Girl… she was an exuberant blonde who seemed extremely excited to make Claire's acquaintance, even shaking her hand while seeming to eye her up and down excitedly. She was cute enough, Claire supposed.
And then there was the one that Wonder Woman hadn't mentioned… this Troia figure. She looked a lot more like Wonder Woman herself, gorgeous rather than cute with some more experience on her than the current Wonder Girl had. She gives Claire a nod and a smile but otherwise doesn't go for any sort of handshake or anything like that.
From the fond yet slightly exasperated look that Wonder Woman gives the former Wonder Girl, Claire is able to pick up on the fact that 'Troia' wasn't originally invited to all of this. Perhaps she wasn't a full fledged member of the Justice League or something and hadn't been part of the initial planning. But obviously she'd found out somewhere along the way and now here she was, likely having browbeat her way into coming along.
Turning to Claire, Wonder Woman chuckles.
"Care to introduce yourself? Do you know what you might want to be called when you're out in the field? I know it might feel strange to have two names, especially when we don't really cover our faces or hide our identities all that well. But it seems to be the done thing here in Man's World."
Hm. Claire had noticed that… and admittedly hadn't thought much of it. At the same time, it was probably better for her to have something for the others to call her in the midst of battle aside from 'Claire'.
"… The name I've chosen for myself is Claire. As far as a callsign goes… I haven't thought of one. You can just call me Match if you need to."
The reaction to that is immediate. Wonder Woman frowns a bit. Troia scowls. And Wonder Girl looks dismayed as she waves her hands in the air expressively.
"What?! No, that's what the damn scientists called you, right? You can't use that! You need something that's all your own. Something like… like Wonder Gal!"
Silence falls as everyone gives the blonde heroine looks for a long moment. Wonder Girl slowly blushes and shrinks in on herself.
"Just… an idea…"
Snorting in amusement and breaking the tableau in the process, Claire just shakes her head.
"Just call me Claire than. I don't really have a need for multiple identities at this point. Everyone knows who and what I am. Let them know… I don't need to care what they think of me."
Troia frowns harder at that.
"Careful there. Clones aren't always treated the best in Man's World. It might not be best for them to know you as one. They might use it as leave to say you aren't a real person, or don't deserve rights."
Claire finds herself smiling crookedly at that.
"They already say that about me. I'm not too worried. If they want to enforce their worldview on me, they'll need to bring a lot of firepower."
Wonder Woman steps in again at that.
"Themyscira wouldn't let them anyways. We don't have such narrow viewpoints on such topics, as I told you before Claire. You're one of us and the Amazons will always protect our own."
Both Troia and Wonder Girl nod at that and so Claire does too. From there, all four of them travel together until they're a short distance away from the laboratory they're going to be taking down as soon as they're given the signal.
First though, they have to hurry up and wait once they're in position. Which gives the current Wonder Girl a chance to sidle up alongside Claire and whisper to her.
"Hey so… I heard you were rescued by Lucien Luthor of all people."
Claire stiffens up, her hands curling into fists at her sides. There's a note of disbelief in Cassie's voice, making it clear that she doesn't trust Lucien… though not on the same level as Supergirl, Claire thinks.
"I was. He saved my life in more ways than one."
Wonder Girl's head tilts to the side at that.
"Oh?"
Nodding decisively, Claire lists the ways in which she owes Lucien everything.
"First, he came for me when nobody else would. I was the failed project by the time he came to Professor Hamilton's laboratory to shut it down. I was left all alone, suspended in a tube filled with fluid that kept me alive but not much else. I was a prisoner and forced to simply endure until such a time as my circumstances could change. Lucien didn't have to even bother coming down to my section of the laboratory given it was all but abandoned. He did anyways, however. For me."
Wonder Girl is hanging off of her every word at this point. So is Troia, though the older Amazon is pretending like she isn't listening. Only Wonder Woman isn't paying attention, instead speaking in a low voice through a communicator as she coordinates with the other team leaders of the League.
"Next, after pulling me from the tube and realizing I was dying from instability, he took me in his arms and healed me. The whole point of me, the reason I was deemed a failure… it didn't work. Joining the genetics of Wonder Woman and Superman together created an unstable mess that was doomed to die. But Lucien changed that. He fixed me. He made me whole, made me right."
She could still remember how it had felt, his power coursing through her and setting her to rights. Without Lucien's touch, Claire would have expired shortly after leaving the tube… and yet, she wouldn't have minded that she doesn't think. Dying in a handsome man's arms was preferable to being imprisoned in an abandoned and dimly lit lab at that point. But no, Lucien had given her life. And then…
"Finally, he removed the bomb that Professor Hamilton and Cadmus implanted in my spine in the event that I ever needed to be disposed of. He didn't have to. He could have left it and used it as leverage to force my obedience and submission. But he didn't just refuse to stoop that low, the thought of it never crossed his mind. He removed my bomb and also Tea's and he destroyed them so we could be free."
For a long moment, silence hangs at Claire's declaration. And then Troia speaks up.
"And he hasn't asked anything of you in return? He hasn't made a single demand for his salvation?"
It's obvious from the tone of her voice what sort of thing Donna is implying. And Claire considers it her own fault that she reacts with a blush to the question. Because that prompts Cassie to squawk and lean in close.
"W-Wait! He didn't really make demands of you, did he? If he's done anything to make you uncomfortable, say the word and we'll beat him up!"
Stiffening at the threat, Claire scowls angrily.
"What? No! You will not lay a hand on him. Lucien has been nothing but kind to me. He's made no demands of me… save that I try and live for myself instead of solely j-just for him."
Silence falls again, before Donna snorts derisively and crosses her arms over her chest.
"Hoooly shit. You've got it bad, don't you?"
Claire blushes, while Cassie does a one-eighty and makes a cooing sound.
"Awww, that's so cute. Damn, Lucien actually sounds like a really good guy. He's lucky to have someone as loyal as you though too."
Huffing, Claire shakes her head.
"I am the lucky one, that he would deign to even touch a pathetic wretch like me."
That gives the other two women pause, before eventually Donna seems to decide to take a teasing tack with things rather than pitying.
"Oh? Already getting down and dirty with one of the richest men in the world, Claire?"
Claire blushes again, but refuses to be teased into silence. Holding her head high, she speaks proudly.
"He enjoys worshipping my thighs and legs."
That brings both Donna and Cassie up short. The two Amazons glance at each other before both scowling and crossing their arms over their chests defensively.
"Well damn, now I'm a little jealous…"
"Ugh, me too. Good men are so hard to find these days…"
Claire preens, pleased to have 'won' the conversation. Of course, a few moments later Wonder Woman steps back in and it turns out they're ready to go. They launch their assault in Cadmus less than a minute after that and Claire finds herself exulting in being able to use her powers alongside the Amazon heroines in order to get back at the organization that created her only to toss her aside.
It's not particularly difficult for them to deal with their side of things in the end. Wonder Woman was given a technological device to hook into the site's central mainframe as soon as they found it, and they just had to protect it for half a minute until it could take over. From there, everything was really just cleanup.
All the while, Claire found herself pondering Cassie and Donna's jealousy… and wondering if perhaps she might be able to introduce them to a 'good man' while also gifting Lucien a pair of beauties as a present when she finally returned to his side~
-x-X-x-
Lucien groans as the woman atop him cackles, bouncing up and down on his cock all the while. His hands dig into her hips and he thrusts up into her from below, even as she moans and shudders.
"Yes! J-Just like that! F-Fuck me! Fuck, fuck, FUCK!"
Harley Quinn rides him to kingdom come, her naked tits jiggling the whole time she's doing it. Meanwhile, a certain red head sits at a nearby desk, working on things for a moment longer before finally, she pushes back and sighs, removing the headset from atop her head and standing to her feet to stare at them.
Barbara Gordon, aka the first Batgirl, aka the current Oracle, shakes her head as she begins stripping naked while walking over to them, something that's only possible because Lucien healed her.
"You two are just too much. Distracting me while I'm supposed to be working… you're lucky that the League is so professional and Cadmus was so sure of their secrecy that they weren't at all prepared for us."
Lucien grins as he leans forward to capture one of Harley's nipples in between his teeth for a moment, biting down and tugging it in a way that makes her squeal all the harder. Finally, he pulls back and chuckles.
"We knew you could handle it."
Harley is quick to nod, even as she moans.
"Yesss… you're the best, Red! No doubt about it! Oooh, it's just too bad Ivy couldn't be here for the fun. But I guess someone had to watch the baby~"
Privately, Lucien didn't think that was the reason Ivy hadn't attended this little get together. Sure, she and Harley did have a kid they were raising together now, thanks to his help. However, there was also the simple fact that Ivy didn't really like him too much. Oh, she liked his cock and she enjoyed threesomes between him, Harley, and herself… but that was just it. She enjoyed them TOO much and tended to avoid it whenever possible out of shame and embarrassment.
Harley still dragged her in sometimes, but most of the time when Lucien came for a visit, it was him coming to see Barbara and Harley tagging along for the ride. Literally, in this case.
As Barbara reaches the bed and climbs on, she gives Harley and him a distinct 'Look'.
"Well? Is it my turn yet? I think I've more than earned a ride, all things considered~"
