Sell you a Bridge chapter 150

December 31st 2010 New Genesis 8:00 PM EDT

I  had eventually dragged myself out of bed to hand over the fruits to  Wally and Artemis with a warning, but I hadn't been able to resist  coming back for seconds, or rather tenths as the case may have been. Zee  and I went another dozen or so rounds before we finally broke down and  had to stop. Even my endurance had limits and that electricity was  potent stuff. Now we were curled up in bed, snuggled together and trying  not to groan at the soreness.

Our  little marathon session had been rough, even if it had also been  incredibly satisfying. My body could take a ton of punishment but Zee's  electricity didn't just feel amazing, using it seemed to energize and  feed her, which let us go a lot harder and longer than I had expected.  I'd been so into it I hadn't even used the tantric ritual to stock up on  points because I didn't want to drain the new energy away and spoil our  fun.

I  pulled Zee against me, resting my chin on her head. "So, is this the  romantic new years that you wanted? We still have a dinner tonight and  we need to kiss at midnight, as is tradition." I admit my tone might  have been a little languid and smug. Between my admittedly absurd dick  size and my endless Vitality I was pretty sure there was literally no  one alive who could have fucked Zatanna as well as I just did. She  certainly seemed happy enough about it when it was happening.

She  smirked at me and wiggled back against my body. "It was everything I  could have asked for and more. But you realize that even my now  partially divine body is going to take a while to recover from what you  just did to me. If we're having a new years dinner you're feeding it to  me in bed. I'm not dragging my worked over little ass off this mattress  for any reason other than sheer necessity. I don't suppose you have a  spam email for free meal delivery?"

That...actually  wasn't a bad idea. I pulled my phone out of my spacial ring and started  scrolling through emails. "Huh." Zee looked at me questioningly.  "Apparently all my old scam emails from Earth are still active. I  actually can get us food delivery, there's a few new years feast emails  claiming to be from big name catering companies. Well..almost. This one  says it's from Wayen Enterprises catering. Aside from being pretty sure  that isn't a thing they seem to have purposefully misspelled Wayne."

She  snickered at that. "Gods, I wonder if anyone ever actually falls for  any of these normally? Like they have to work sometimes or they wouldn't  keep trying right?" She wasn't wrong, but given how absurd some of the  emails were I suspected it was kind of a spaghetti situation. Just  throwing everything you could think of at the wall and seeing what  stuck. She smirked at me, kissing me quickly to disrupt my thoughts and  get my attention back. So, what exactly is our plan for our time here?"

I  blew out a breath. "Honestly that's a tough call. Our main priority  will be helping you and Artemis make the best use of the divine  resources we can find here, not to mention helping Wally with  his...whatever is happening to him. Other than that I think we should  set up some means of making money. We don't have any cash here at all. I  was thinking of building Artemis a smithy nearby if we can get a  building. The New Gods seem like the type to be into that kind of thing.  Well, the stronger ones might not care for small fry stuff, but we know  there are low level gods here."

Zee  looked intrigued. "That could be pretty neat, especially with you  having access to special materials with your emails. i could help out  enchanting the gear too. Granted Artemis will have to work with a  handicap since her anvil isn't here, but she only needs magic materials,  a magic forge, or magic skills, and even without the anvil she has two  of the three. The only problem is figuring out how to make magic items  that are up to snuff. I'm pretty sure our old stuff is garbage compared  to the tech they have around here."

I  definitely got what she meant. I frowned, checking my points total. I  was still at three thousand plus, which wasn't enough for much. Checking  my email I found an ad for a magic library subscription service giving  access "to hundreds of thousands of archived magic tomes of great  power". It cost five thousand but I could save up and with access to a  magic library I'd be able to learn some solid enchanting with my speed  reading ability and perfect recall. I showed it to Zee, enjoying the way  her face lit up.

She  threw herself at me, locking her lips to mine fiercely. When she pulled  back her eyes were burning. "Best new years gift ever!" She bounced in  place, very distractingly as it happened, and I grinned, raising an  eyebrow. She shrugged. "What? I'm allowed to be excited, it's a whole  library of powerful magic books! I've been going crazy with no research  to do. Imagine all the new spells I can come up with when I have an  entire library of potentially unique magical texts to sift through. Do  they send us the actual books?"

I  chuckled, reading through the email. "Nope. looks like the library of  texts is downloaded onto a tablet and sold at a bulk price. I'm guessing  the original scammer didn't want to be bothered coming up with an  actual library so he could milk monthly fees from his marks so he set up  so he could bulk charge one large purchase. It's over a grand for the  tablet, but that's pocket change to me anyway at this point, plus it  comes right out of my bank account so it doesn't mean much at the  moment."

Zee  looked like she wanted to grill me on exactly what books were involved,  but she was cut off by a knock at the door. Artemis called from outside.  "I don't hear squealing of banging and no one is screaming dirty talk,  can I take that to mean you fucking nymphos are finished finally?" I  groaned, forcing myself out of bed to stumble over to the door and throw  it open in annoyance. Artemis reared back and Wally, who was next to  her, covered her eyes at super speed. "Pants, you absolute animal, go  put on pants."

I  grumbled, turning to head back in and throw on sweats before coming out  to glare. "Don't knock on our door when we're celebrating then. What do  you want? If you're going to ask me to hold your hand through the  process of eating those fruits no thanks. You'll be fine as long as you  go somewhere remote." I was tired and slightly sticky right now and had  no desire to be standing in this hallway with either of them when I  could be snuggling my very warm sex elf in the bed behind me.

Artemis  rolled her eyes, which were now visible once Wally removed his hand.  "We already did, you ass. You deviants have been banging like a pair of  energizer bunnies for nearly eight hours now. We've been waiting to talk  out what our plans are, but every time we got up to come in here to  talk Nail-me Nancy in there started another act in her rendition of the  worlds most pornographic opera." She glared at a lazily smiling Zee who  was propped up on one elbow on the bed. My girlfriend had been kind  enough to cover her glorious cans so the two of them didn't get a free  show, but Artemis didn't seem to appreciate the gesture.

Zee's  voice floated out of the room. "Is that judgement I hear sister dear? I  can't believe I'm getting kink shamed by a sex elf." She flicked her  fingers, slamming the door behind me and stranding me in the hall as she  got up to get dressed. Artemis rolled her eyes again, but her aura told  me she wasn't really pissed, just impatient to get on with our next  move. It was almost sweet seeing her so gung ho. Finally Zee opened the  door in yoga pants and a tank top, her mess hair tamed into a ponytail.  "Now since you clearly have no sex life of your own, maybe you can tell  us what you want."

Artemis  actually did seem offended this time. "Whoa! I can throw these hips  with the best of them, some of us just prefer to utilize the more  strategic aspects of our bloodline." She whirled to glare at Wally. "Why  aren't you defending my sex skills? Am I not good enough in bed for you  now?" The redheads eyes widened in terror and I came very close to  bursting out laughing, but in the end I owed him for that prank before  in the woods.

I  cleared my throat. "Let's not and say we did. I don't need to know more  about your sex life than I already do. I believe you came to talk  plans, so lets showed and head downstairs to eat dinner. We can have a  nice new years eve meal together and talk about where to go from here  while you two fill us in on what the fruits did." I was actually fucking  starving so that plan was a win win for me and the others clearly  agreed despite their grumbling.

I  pulled Zee back into the room into our private bathroom and washed  every single inch of very thoroughly (perhaps too thoroughly considering  how long we took) and then met the others back in the hallways dressed  in semi formal clothes. The two of them seemed much less annoyed when we  reached them, and I made the assumption that they had showered together  too, and then we headed down for food.

As  we walked I asked Wally. "So did you figure anything out about what's  been going on with you, with the lightning and extra speed and stuff?"  Del had implies that it wasn't a bad thing, but I was pretty curious why  our fourth member had suddenly cranked it up to eleven. He'd  demonstrated some pretty crazy speed during our rescue. Just the  vibration alone when he was feeding off Artemis in that weird feedback  loop had been incredibly impressive. I wasn't sure how much faster he  actually was than he had been, given I didn't know what the details of  his power was before, but his aura was much more intense.

He  exhaled with a laugh. "Oh yeah. More than I expected. After I ate the  fruit I had a...weird experience. A sort of vision where I learned some  crazy stuff, but it's a long story. I'll dill you in on it after  dinner." He grinned sheepishly. "You aren't the only one who's hungry."  Luckily Old Stanga covered dinner along with room and board. My plans to  order a new years dinner for Zee were kind of out but I felt like a  romantic meal for four was less romantic and more awkward.

Stanga  got us a seat at a small wooden table and we all plopped down while he  brought us dinner. it was nothing fancy, Stanga's inn was a bit rustic,  but it still looked great. Spiced wine and meat and cheese with some  hearty stew. i wasn't sure why everyone here acted like this was the  middle ages when they had tech ten times more advanced than earth but  the food was pretty good at least. Finally we finished eating, all full  and enjoying the after effects of a good meal. Once we had the food  finished I turned to look at Wally and Artemis. "Now, tell us what the  hell happened to you guys today."
