Chapter 20: New Understanding

The sun had long dipped below the horizon, and the city lights glimmered across the skyline like stars trapped in steel. Inside Shadow Corp’s towering headquarters, the top-floor office remained dimly lit, only the soft glow of a monitor and the shifting cityscape outside provided illumination.

Ashborn sat in his chair, typing something idly into his tablet when a sudden knock echoed on the window pane behind him.

He paused. He stood up and turned around to see Superman floating...

Chapter 19: Testing Gizmo's Toys

Three months had passed in a blur of blueprints, scaffolding, and sweat. Under the banner of Shadow Corp’s construction division, Supergirl had spent her days hauling beams, welding plates, and pouring concrete faster than any machinery could. Today marked the end of the project — a collection of sturdy, clean buildings meant to house the poor and homeless, and it had been completed in record time.

The work crew gathered in the courtyard, proud and exhausted. Mr. Hally, Mammoth, Sup...

Chapter 18: Puppet King

In the shadows of the abandoned theater, dust hung thick on the surfaces. Old curtains sagged, and the scent of soot clung to the crumbling walls.

From a broken window above, Starfire — clad in Raven’s body — landed gracefully beside Raven — still wearing Starfire’s form. Both were silent, their expressions sharper than ever.

They had spent the past hours sharing stories, memories, fears, and dreams — things neither had spoken of in all their time as teammates. But now...

Chapter 17: Third Time's A Charm

The Kent farmhouse was quiet that evening, bathed in the soft golden hue of the setting sun. Kara stood in the living room, the envelope in her hands now opened, her paycheck resting neatly on the coffee table. Clark, Martha, and Jonathan sat around her, each with a look of mild confusion and curiosity as they listened to her recount the odd events of her visit to Ashborn’s office.

“I still don’t get it,” Kara said, her arms crossed and her expression conflicted. “He went out ...

Chapter 16: Paycheck

The smell of roasted chicken and freshly baked cornbread filled the Kent family kitchen. The wooden table, modest but warm, was surrounded by faces marked with concern and affection. Kara sat in her usual seat, still wearing her civilian clothes after a long day. Her fork poked at her food without much enthusiasm.

Clark, ever the attentive cousin, looked at her from across the table. “So,” he asked casually, “how was your first day?”

Kara’s hand froze mid-poke. Her jaw t...

Chapter 15: Gizmo's Toys

While Supergirl was reluctantly adjusting to her new role as a hard-hat-wearing symbol of civic contribution, Ashborn Black was already a few steps ahead in his day.

Leaving the tall structure of Shadow Corp behind, he made his way toward a far more energized destination: the engineering research lab tucked in the industrial outskirts of the city. This particular trip wasn’t scheduled on his calendar—it was a direct request from Gizmo himself. And when your top tech genius calls, yo...

Chapter 14: Supergirl First Day

The sun had just begun to peek over the city skyline when Ashborn stepped out of the manor. The fresh morning air brushed against his skin as he adjusted his coat and made his way down the path. Behind him, the manor remained silent—except for the soft sound of someone breathing deeply in slumber.

Jinx is still asleep, he thought, his lips curling into a faint smirk. If I were a normal human… she’d probably be pregnant after last night.

The amusement in the thought lasted on...

Chapter 12: The Amused CEO

The courthouse was still swarmed with reporters and flashing cameras when Ashborn Black walked out.

Unlike most public figures involved in groundbreaking legal drama, he gave no statements, no soundbites, and certainly no interviews.

To every journalist that swarmed his path, he simply said “The trial was clear. We begin work tomorrow.”

It was all he offered, but it was enough.

That single sentence sent reporters into a frenzy, rushing to draft headlines and opinio...

Chapter 11: Suing Supergirl

A month had passed in relative calm—or as calm as life could be when you were Ashborn Black.

But now, he found himself at the heart of a federal investigation. The reason? His partnership with none other than Lex Luthor.

LuthorCorp had come under intense scrutiny following allegations of illegal weapons trafficking. And when the authorities opened that door, they didn't just peer into Lex's life—they kicked it off the hinges and stormed through, dragging every associate into t...

Chapter 10: The Calm in Chaos

Ashborn Black sat comfortably in the middle of an expensive, oversized couch. The room around him was bright and modern, with a wall-sized aquarium casting shifting blue light across the polished floor. But the luxury of the space wasn’t what made it feel crowded today—it was the five ex-villains surrounding him, each wearing a strangely similar expression of exasperation and worry.

Jinx stood with her arms crossed, eyes narrowed, while Gizmo was pacing back and forth muttering to h...

Chapter 9: The New Legend

A gruff voice echoed from the restaurant entrance, sharp and commanding.

"Ashborn Black. Put the gun down."

All eyes turned to the new figure entering the scene — cloaked in shadows, dark armor gleaming beneath the broken lights.

Batman.

Ashborn turned his head slightly, smile still perfectly in place. “You’re far away from your turf, don’t you think so?”

From the ground, bloodied but grinning, Joker let out a strained chuckle.

“Batsy couldn’t...

Chapter 8: The Twist

Lois Lane sat tied to a chair at the center of the luxurious restaurant, now eerily quiet and transformed into a stage for madness. The fine décor stood in stark contrast to the chaos that had unfolded. Her eyes burned with frustration as she glanced toward the man calmly sipping his drink beside her.

Ashborn Black, ever composed, didn’t seem the least bit concerned about the gun-wielding maniacs around them. His posture was relaxed, still  smiling.

“What are you playing...

Chapter 7: The Casual Hostage

The sunlight seeped gently through the tall windows of the manor. The living room bore the signs of a small, unplanned sleepover—pillows scattered, blankets half-draped over furniture, and four unconscious figures sprawled across the couches and floor.

Ashborn walked in, crisp and sharp in his dark suit. His gaze swept over the chaotic scene with amusement before settling on the only sign of movement—Jinx, mop in hand, wiping away a particularly sticky spot on the floor.

“Go...

Chapter 6: The Chill Boss

The afternoon sun filtered lazily through the tall windows of Ashborn’s office, casting golden rays over the sleek desk where he sat, a tablet in hand. Shadows flickered across his face as he read through performance reports—Gizmo’s integration into engineering had gone smoother than expected; the kid was already improving one of their drone prototypes. Billy Numerous had broken a game build so efficiently the developers almost cried—then laughed. Mammoth had managed to bring down a c...

Chapter 5: Hiring Hive Five

The silence that followed Ashborn's offer was heavy, almost hesitant, until Gizmo looked at the others, then back at Ashborn, and gave a small nod. The others followed one by one, and finally, they all nodded in agreement.

“We’ll give it a shot,” Gizmo said.

Ashborn’s calm smile widened ever so slightly. “Excellent choice,” he said. “I already asked the waiter for a few extra pizzas for the four of you. Please, come with me.”

As he turned toward the pizza sho...

Chapter 4: Kidnap Attempt

Ashborn had always been a man of peculiar habits. Despite commanding one of the most powerful corporations in the world, his whims often led him to unexpected places. Today, it was Jump City.

Officially, Shadow Corp had a chemical laboratory here, primarily researching treatments for issues like hair loss. But Ashborn’s visit had nothing to do with business. He came for pizza.

When his assistant, visibly baffled, asked why he was traveling so far just for a slice, Ashborn simply...

Chapter 3: Friends With Benefits

One year had passed since Ashborn Black stood as the face and force behind Shadow Corp. A year of seamless expansion, strategic acquisitions, and subtle dominion over industries that most corporations only dreamed of touching.

Ashborn sat in his penthouse office, the skyline of Metropolis stretching beyond the glass wall behind him. The morning light filtered through as he casually flipped through the day’s news. The front page, as expected, was awash in headlines glorifying the Justi...

Chapter 2: Shadow Corp

The name Black Corp had once echoed through the heart of Metropolis as a symbol of ambition and industry. Second only to LexCorp, it had stood tall for decades—its wealth built on the backs of construction empires and cutting-edge automobile manufacturing. From the soaring skyline to the thunderous engines on the streets, Black Corp had left its mark.

But behind the shining glass towers and polished boardrooms, vultures circled.

Since the tragic death of Elijah and Seraphina Bla...

Chapter 1: The Monarch's New Begining

The sky was a canvas of horror,bloody red, streaked with black clouds that churned like boiling ink. Bolts of golden thunder cracked through the heavens with deafening roars, tearing the silence into splinters. The land beneath that apocalyptic sky was broken, charred, and soaked in blood. The corpses of millions blanketed the ground in every direction, a grotesque sea of lifeless flesh and shattered armor that stretched beyond the horizon.

In the middle of this vast field of death stoo...

Chapter 111: S.P.E.W.

In less than a week, Amelia Bones was officially selected as the next Minister for Magic. Despite the chaos Dante had caused, Amelia chose to act as if nothing had happened. It was clear to her that the best course of action was to avoid provoking the monster who had so effortlessly dismantled the Ministry’s forces. Even Dumbledore had advised her to let it be, admitting that he had no confidence in facing Dante, even with the combined might of the Aurors. To Amelia, there was no sense in p...

Chapter 110: Hogwarts Dark Lord

The morning at Hogwarts began with the usual routine, but today, the arrival of The Daily Prophet brought an unprecedented stir. As the owls delivered the newspapers, the students eagerly grabbed their copies, their eyes widening at the bold, black title sprawled across the front page: 'Hogwarts Dark Lord'.

The article recounted, in dramatic detail, the events that had unfolded at the Ministry of Magic. It spoke of Dante Malfoy, the professor who, alone, had taken on the entirety of the...

Chapter 109: Attacking The Ministry

The moment Dante appeared inside the Ministry’s central atrium, a hush fell over the crowd. Dolores Umbridge, wrapped in thick, enchanted chains, hung limply at his side. Without hesitation, Dante raised his wand to his throat, amplifying his voice for all to hear.

“The coward and sorry excuse of a Minister, get to the central atrium now.”

Gasps of shock rippled through the vast hall, employees of the Ministry freezing in place as they processed the audacity of what they wer...

Chapter 108: Anger

The atmosphere in the castle had been tense ever since Dolores Umbridge’s arrival, but the tipping point came after her humiliating treatment of Professor Trelawney. That evening, the four Heads of Houses gathered in the Headmaster’s office, their patience finally exhausted.

“This is unacceptable, Albus,” Professor McGonagall stated firmly. “Her presence in this school is a disruption, and her behavior toward the staff and students is deplorable.”

“She’s interferin...

Chapter 107: Hogwarts Inspection

Before the start of the new term, the professors gathered in the staff room to discuss the upcoming year, a meeting that now included Dante Malfoy. As they settled into their seats, Dumbledore addressed the gathering, his eyes twinkling with a knowing look as he turned towards Dante.

"Dante, I believe you should be aware of the curse that lingers over the Defense Against the Dark Arts position," Dumbledore said lightly, though the underlying warning was clear. "No professor has managed ...

Chapter 106: Public Apology

One week after Harry Potter’s hearing, an unexpected visit shook Malfoy Manor. Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, led a small but formidable delegation, including Amelia Bones and several seasoned Aurors. Their faces bore the weight of sleepless nights and relentless stress. Fudge’s eyes were sunken, dark circles visible beneath them, while Amelia, though composed, carried the exhaustion of someone burdened with a crisis beyond her control. The Aurors flanking them stood stiffly, the...

Chapter 105: Bellatrix And Selwyn Reports

Bellatrix Lestrange walked swiftly through the halls of Nott Manor, her mind still reeling from the conversation with Dante. The moment she stepped into the dimly lit chamber where the Dark Lord and his followers had gathered, all eyes turned to her. The murmurs died down as Lord Voldemort's crimson gaze locked onto her.

She fell to her knees instantly, bowing her head. "My Lord, forgive me, I have failed you."

Voldemort’s expression remained unreadable. "Explain."

Bellatr...

Chapter 104: Unwanted Invitations

Outside the Ministry, the air was still thick with tension, but Harry found himself smiling. He turned to Dante, gratitude evident in his eyes.

"Thanks for standing up for me back there," Harry said. "Won't this cause you trouble?"

Dante shook his head dismissively. "It’s fine. That minister is too incompetent to do anything meaningful. If I didn’t already know that many idiots like him followed Voldemort before, I might have been surprised how he made it to being Minister in ...

Chapter 103: A Spectacle At The Ministry

Despite the Triwizard Tournament concluding, the visiting schools remained at Hogwarts until the official end of the academic year, which was still three weeks away. The remaining days passed uneventfully, filled with final lessons, last-minute studying, and quiet goodbyes as friendships formed over the tournament prepared to be tested by distance.

As the term drew to a close, Dumbledore made his way to Dante’s office, his expression calm yet curious. Inside, he found Dante sitting be...

Chapter 102: The Frozen Labyrinth

The morning air was crisp as Harry and Ron hurried through the castle corridors, their minds heavy with the weight of yet another unsettling vision. Finding Hermione in the library, her nose buried in a book since the sunrise, they wasted no time sharing the details of Harry's latest dream.

“I saw Voldemort,” Harry began, his voice hushed. “He was meeting with werewolves—recruiting them.”

Hermione’s eyes widened, her fingers tightening around the edge of her book. “T...

Chapter 101: The Beetle Punishment

The aftermath of the second task of the Triwizard Tournament was oddly quiet compared to the first. There were no heated debates over the performances, no endless chatter about who had been the most impressive. Instead, the halls of Hogwarts were abuzz with a far more serious and terrifying matter—the escape of the prisoners of Azkaban.

For most students, the Triwizard Tournament was a thrilling distraction, but now, reality had struck hard. Letters from concerned parents flooded the ...
