"Mmmm..." Kory stretched her arms above her head. She loved the wonderful feeling of the morning, waking up in silken sheets that blanketed her naked body, and the small bit of sunshine peeking through the blinds...it just made her feel so alive, so refreshed and ready for the day.
And Kory was especially excited for this day, as it was Dick's birthday. Birthdays weren't something Kory was used to celebrating, as it wasn't a holiday/tradition on Tamaran (unless the Coming-of-Age rituals counted), but after spending several years on Earth, it slowly became one of her favorite things about the planet. She'd enjoyed surprising her friends and fellow Titans with unusual gifts and foods from Tamaran---but Kory was still unsure of what she should get for Dick, or what she should do for him.
The subject of Dick's birthday was something Kory had been thinking about for a long time, especially recently. They had been dating for almost seven years now, and for most of that time, Dick had kept Kory at arm's length sexually to hide the fact that he was still a virgin. So everytime Kory tried giving him a sexy 'present' like a blowjob, a full body massage, popping out of a giant cake naked, or even bondage gear, it was always rejected by Dick, who claimed that he was too 'busy' to indulge himself in her gifts. (Of course, Kory knew now that those excuses were bullshit)
Ironically, now that she and Dick had finally cemented the sexual side of their relationship, the two of them had engaged in so much debauchery and threesomes at this point in time that Kory couldn't think of a sexy gift that would be any different from what Dick was used to on a regular basis. Maybe her present didn't have to involve sex at all...
The only idea Kory had was so depraved she was worried that Dick wouldn't even entertain the concept. So what was she supposed to do?
A wonderful, wet sensation from in between Kory's legs drove her out of these thoughts. Kory let out a sensual moan as an eager tongue dove in and out of her dripping quim.
"Haaa-ahhhh...yeesss.."
She spread her thighs so that her "mystery" cunnilinguist could go even further, lapping up every ounce of pussy juice she'd squirt out. Kory slipped a hand under the sheets, and petted the hair of her unseen lover hiding beneath the covers. She knew that it could be only one of two people, and that Ivy was never this loving whenever she ate the alien princess out. Kory let out a joyous squeal as another orgasm hit her, feeling a loving tongue slick against her clit as she came.
"Aaaah! YES! DIIIICCCKKK!!!" Kory wailed, spraying out her orgasm into her raven-haired boyfriend's waiting mouth, her moan loud and undulating. "Oh yes, oh X'Hal, I'll never get tired of this tongue!"
Dick's grinning face popped up from the silken sheets, followed by his athletic arms and chest that pressed to Kory's as he wiped his face and gave her a quick peck on the lips. "Mmm, just wanted to make your morning special..."
"Special?..." Kory cooed adoringly, her face contorting an annoyed pout a moment later, "Dick!" She gave Dick a playful slap on his chiseled pec in mock offense. "You shouldn't be giving me morning head on your birthday! That should be my job!"
"What, jealous that I'm surpassing you as a lover?" Dick remarked with a cheeky grin.
"Yes!"
"Yeah, well--wait, did you say it's my birthday?" Dick frowned, then reached out to his phone on the nightstand to check the date. "God, this has to be at least the second time I've forgotten my birthday.."
"I didn't forget. Happy birthday, Dick." Kory purred, wrapping her arms around her lover's head to give him a passionate kiss. "Mmmmmn!"
"Mmmn, so what'd you get me then? Can I get a hint?" Dick breathed teasingly against Kory's lips when they pulled apart, her breasts pressed against his chest.
"It's a surprise." Kory whispered back, "And I'm worried that the present I have planned is a little too much for you."
"I have a present for you right now, you handle it all the time." Dick retorted.
Kory let out a breathy grasp, feeling something warm and hard poke her in the thigh. Looking down the gap in her breasts, she saw his erection springing out from under the sheets, prodding at her taut stomach, already dripping precum in anticipation. It slid down her waist, getting closer and closer to her clenching cunt--
"Oh, Dick, I want your present right now!" Kory cried out, licking her lips and lowering her lips toward his stiff manhood. "My turn to make your morning special-" She murmured, her dripping tongue only centimeters away from his throbbing cockhead...
BZZZT!
"Shit, Kor, it's Batman!" Dick grunted, shifting his entire body away from the orange-skinned beauty, sitting at the edge of the bed to read the encrypted message sent.
"Dick!" Kory exclaimed in sexually frustrated anger.
"It's an Omega Level threat, it's bad." Dick gave Kory a worrying look. "It's in Massachusetts...Everyone's there--Justice League, the Outsiders, Birds of Prey--and all the heavy hitters are too busy with the bad guy. It's one of the suspects Batman guessed was behind the dark magic outbreak, Wotan...the point is, we need to be there, Kory, there's a call for all heroes available to help protect the civilians there. We need to go now!"
"B-but, Dick..." Kory couldn't find the words to muster her concern, all she knew was that it was just wrong for Dick pleasure her first thing in the morning, and then get thrust into a life-threatening situation without getting anything in return. What was worse was the sick feeling in the pit of Kory's stomach telling her that something bad was going to happen if Dick went to help...and that there was nothing she could do to stop him from going.
"It's gonna be fine, Kory. Nothing's going to happen." Dick assured her after noticing her hesitation. "It's my birthday, remember? I've already got all the luck I need. Now, let's go!"
"O-okay.." Kory whimpered, but Dick was already in his Nightwing suit and out the door by the time Kory managed to muster herself out of bed, her heart filled with dread.

It took a while for Zatanna to relax, though considering how stressful her day had been, she doubted anyone would blame her. She could still feel her heart pounding from how scared she had been, and Zatanna hadn't been scared like that in a long time...
Things went wrong the second Wotan showed up in Salem, Massachusetts, and transformed it into his icy fortress. Wotan was an old enemy of Zatanna and Doctor Fate, and he definitely wanted Fate's attention with how he'd taken over the city closest to the Tower of Fate.
Only the dark mage seemed much more powerful this time around, wearing an Egyptian amulet around his neck that amplified his powers even more than the dark magic outbreak did. Wotan seemed to have a strong connection to the weather now, cursing Salem with endless winter, bombarding its civilians with an intense, unnatural blizzard.
And Wotan had been more than ready for the intervention of the Justice League and outside help, creating an army of magical ice constructs to combat them, all while using the amulet to create an icy barrier around the town. Zatanna, Fate, and Raven found him at the First Church of Salem, which he had transformed into his personal palace.
<<"If it is my power, soul, or body you wish to possess, Wotan, then let us duel elsewhere." Fate commanded, his golden helmet glistening in the dimmed sunlight as heavy snowfall smothered the air he was floating in. "Testing your newfound power on this city will only incur my wrath."
"You arrogant fool!" Wotan hissed. He seemed more wicked than ever, a bright green energy shining over his red robes, green cape and boots, pointed black hair and beard, cyan skin, and his red pupils within his dark eyes. The energy seemed to emanate from a golden amulet that was shaped like a scarab. "My newfound artifact may make us equals in power, but no longer have any interest in anything you have, Fate!"
"What, so you just want to kill us all?" Zatanna retorted sarcastically, using a shielding spell to keep the sleet out of her eyes. "Did you get tired of trying to steal people's bodies?" She vividly remembered how Wotan had once tried to swap bodies with her to gain the stage magician's magical power.
"Of course not. But Fate's not the one I want. Neither are you!" Wotan sneered, his dark eyes glowing brighter as he spoke.
"Are you the host? The one's been working with a demon to bring all this dark magic here, selling supervillain's souls for power?" Raven interjected, giving Wotan a stormy look. "Is the demon my father?"
To their chagrin, Wotan laughed in their faces. "You really think I'm the host?!? I may seek power, but I would never bow before another to obtain it! And while the dark magic resurgence may have freed me in my prison within the Shadowlands alongside Karkull, I have no intentions to help the one responsible. Whoever this host is, is clearly weaker than I am, and foolish enough to deal with demons...they will bring only hellfire in this world!"
"Like you wouldn't want that." Zatanna snapped, her wand pointed at the dark sorcerer.
"Of course not! Look around, witch! The ice cold wasteland is my home, not fire and brimstone!" Wotan barked back. "I have seen glimpses of the future, this will happen unless you aid me, Fate."
"Faust had seen the future, too, and he claimed that Raven is going to be used by the host...is this what you have seen too?" Fate asked slowly, "Is that your plan, then? To kill Raven before she can be sacrificed by the enemy?"
"Kill? No, I would never do that, it's so wasteful!" Wotan exclaimed, a wide grin on his face as he continued, "I just want to possess the half-demon's body, and all her soul's magic. My enhanced magic alongside her's should be enough to stop this host from unleashing Hell on this world."
"That's not happening!" Zatanna and Raven had shouted at the same time, while Doctor Fate shook his head in an amused manner. "Wotan, you are the true fool. Aiding you would only trade one magical tyrant for another. And you do not have the power to forcibly swap bodies with Raven, even with the stolen Amulet of Hatshepsut to enhance your aura."
"I'm aware." Wotan replied softly, his red eyes surveying the surrounding area, composed of other heroes battling his ice constructs and rescuing the trapped civilians. "While the Amulet of Hatshepsut has given me great power over the weather, it alone is not enough for my plan. That is why you will use your Amulet of Fate to do it for me."
"You will never have the Amulet of Fate, either by destroying or controlling me, Wotan." Doctor Fate vowed. "Perhaps the combined forces of Zatanna, Raven, and I aren't enough to defeat you, but we can still keep you at bay indefinitely. No one wins."
"Ah, you forget one small thing, Fate!" Wotan roared viciously, "There will be consequences for denying me my new vessel. For instance, I could use my magic to destroy the souls of the other 'heroes' attempting to stop me--like that one!" Then, in an instant, he pointed at Nightwing, working with Kory and M'gann against the ice construct horde, and bellowed, "ααααα±α ααΊα¨α ααα±αα¨α'α ααα’α!", a dark purple jet of light shooting out of his hand, so fast and quick that it hit Nightwing squarely in the chest, before Kory or Zatanna or Raven could even do anything.
Dick collapsed on the snowy ground beneath him, his eyes wide in shock like he'd been electrocuted, not even making a sound as he fell.
"No!" Kory shouted in desperation, immediately flying over and anxiously embracing her boyfriend. Zatanna and Raven didn't even hesitate in attacking Wotan, casting the deadliest spell they could think of.
"Yortsed Natow!"
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"
Wotan laughed again as the bright blue and black spells didn't even come close to hitting him, the Amulet of Hatshepsut creating a transparent golden shield around his smug form. "Attack me all you like, but unless you do as I say, I will do this to another one of yours!"
