Lex Luthor hated the desert.
Hated it. He was at heart an urban predator -- sitting at the seat of society, pulling strings and pushing agendas. An untamed wilderness was just a cheap source of lumber or other resources, as far as he was concerned.
But sometimes, a project needed the personal touch. And in this case, that meant going to a desert. Which isn't to say he was going to be uncomfortable.
"The drone's almost back to the surface," Mercy said, working the control panel off to the side. Lex was sipping a cappuccino and watching her. They were in a mobile dome, purple and green with the Lexcorp logo emblazoned on it, sitting over a sand-pile that had built up and covered a cave over the course of thousands of years. A cave Lex had learned about from an ancient cuneiform tablet that most people dismissed as a hoax -- it depicted a lamp of a style that wouldn't exist for millennia after the tablet was carved, which suggested it was an elaborate hoax.
Lex Luthor wasn't just anyone. He knew that sometimes the most impossible things were the most likely. For proof, he just needed to look at his arch-nemesis. So he'd sent out feelers. Scanned. Explored. And found evidence of a cave that matched the description, buried deep in the sands. The dome settled over it, concealing the tunneling that drones had done. Remote units had unsealed the ancient cave. More than one had been destroyed by traps. There was the stink of magic in the place, and untold wealth.
Lex didn't care about gold or gems. He cared about the battered brass oil lamp that was too old to exist. And now one of the drones had found it, and was bringing it to the surface. Which meant he was watching for guardians. Two or three had awoken already, but while ancient mystic scorpion-men might have horrified sword wielding thieves, it turned out they were vulnerable to high powered rifle shots.
Still, it paid to be careful.
"And… the drone is up on the receiving level," Mercy said. "No immediate pursuit."
"Seal the hatch and launch multiple delayed charges," Lex said. "Three minute timers. Collapse the sand-tunnel. For that matter, send two to the cave entrance and try to collapse that, too. If they're going to continue to try and pursue us, let them work for it." He smiled. "As soon as you launch, move the dome. I want to be five hundred yards away before the detonation, and then I want to put as many miles as possible between us and the cave."
"You got it, boss." Mercy pushed a few more buttons. With a rumble, Lex felt the dome begin to move. There was a shudder as the air conditioning turned up automatically -- it was harder to cool the dome when it was in motion.
"Excellent." Lex finished his cappuccino. "Clear the lower level of personnel, and disable all monitoring. I'm going down there."
"Cle-- Boss… I don't think that's a good idea…"
"Excuse me? You think something, Mercy?" Lex stood, and started for the lift. "That's a pleasant change, isn't it? No monitors, Mercy. And clear the deck."
"...yes sir," Mercy muttered. Lex smiled. He supposed demeaning Mercy would eventually get boring, but so far it hadn't lost its lustre.
Lex stepped out onto the deck, checking his watch. It could detect no signals, and glancing at the cameras he could see they were disabled. The plating down here was thick with sand from the desert, and the air was dry enough to thicken his nose painfully. It was at least twenty degrees warmer, too. Lex adjusted his tie, but otherwise didn't react.
The drone was sitting on the floor near the sealed hatch. He walked over to it, looking it up and down. With a slight smile, he took out a long circuit key which he slid into place, turning it and activating the system.
The drone's top hatch opened, and an inner receptacle rose up and opened. Inside, a filthy, battered brass lamp lay. Just as anachronistic as the tablet had promised.
And the tablet had promised much, much more.
Lex slipped a silk handkerchief out. Slowly, he reached over to the lamp.
There was a new rumble beneath his feet, and the echo of booms like thunder, or cannons. The charges going off, sealing the cave and the sand tunnel. Next, a series of sweepers would be deployed. Inside of an hour, both the dig site and the tracks of the dome would be swept away so completely that no one would ever know where it had been.
Lex smiled more, and began to rub the silk against the metal… cleaning it. It wouldn't take much--
There was a rumble, and the lamp seemed to burst into polychromatic fire and smoke, swirling up and all around the chamber, before it collapsed back into a figure. It was a woman -- five foot eight, lush in form… slightly sharp features on olive skin. Dark eyes, dark hair, but shimmering with colors as the light hit it, wearing a tight green and black teddy, with matching gloves and stockings over heels. "Rroooough," she moaned. "Free!" Her eyes focused on Lex. "And with the best possible man to thank for it."
"Free?" Lex asked, smiling slightly. "Free of the lamp, maybe. But if the legends are correct--"
"Oh, let me be clear," the woman said, walking -- flowing -- towards Lex. "I am yours. You are my Master, now and forever. Freedom doesn't mean I've stopped being what I am."
"And what are you, exactly?" Lex's smile grew. "I know the legend, but those can be full of so many holes...."
"Oh, but of course." She chuckled -- low and lulling, like a rattlesnake's rattle. "I am Ova, once the Princess Ovyah, from another universe aeons ago. Cursed by a faithless husband to be an eternal Djinn of lust, only to have that 'curse' be a blessing for all time. I exist to be found by powerful masters and made into what they need."
"So this form, your attitude, your demeanor…"
"Are what you would have me be."
"And you will grant my wishes?"
"I will grant your every desire. So long as it involves desire." Ova laughed again. "I can do anything at all, so long as it involves lust at its core."
"And how many wishes do I get for my trouble?"
"Oh, Master," Ova said, her smile coy. "I'm not stingy with my power. There is no limit to how many wishes I can grant."
Lex smiled more broadly, looking her up and down. "And you feel those same desires?"
"Master? I am made of desire."
Lex chuckled, walking around behind her. He slipped his arms around her, and pulled her back against him. Ova gasped, arching and pressing her buttocks back into his hips, feeling him harden. "So if I'm creative… there is absolutely no limit to what you can do for me?" he asked.
"No limit at all… Master."
"Let's find out. Show me Mercy."
"...I assume you mean Miss Graves, not the virtue." Ova sounded amused, even as the blonde bodyguard, chauffeur, and executive assistant appeared in a shimmering vision before the pair. She was leaning over her control board, running the dome's functions, apparently alone in the top level.
"Mm. Nice. But we need a bit more lust. Awaken her desires, but don't let her know why."
Ova cooed, shifting her hips back against Lex's… and on the screen Mercy suddenly flushed, her lips parting and her body shivering. Lex could see her nipples harden through her blouse, her stocking clad legs parting ever so slightly. He chuckled, running his hand up to cup Ova's breast, her own nipple growing taut with his touch.
"Tell me… is Mercy on birth control?" Lex asked, his voice low -- nearly a growl.
"...oh yes, Master," Ova said. "She has a Mirena intrauterine device fitted."
"Prudent." Lex chuckled. "Eliminate it. Eliminate the IUD, purge its hormones from her body, flood her with fertility hormones, stimulate her ovaries, and make her fertile. And make her enjoy every moment of it."
Ova gasped, smiling… and in the vision Mercy suddenly spasmed, a hand sliding to her abdomen even as her eyes half-closed. She flushed, her breath coming fast… her heart was palpitating enough that it shook her left breast ever so slightly with every pounding beat…
"Perfect," Lex said. "Mercy will be an excellent test run, don't you think?"
"Test run… for what, Master?"
"All in good time, Ova. For now…" Lex pushed the djinn, forcing her to bend at the waist, kicking her legs apart where she stood.
"Master?" Ova was breathing hard too, even as she felt her master's hand pulling at the fabric of her teddy, pulling its crotch aside… her body naturally growing wet and her vulva swelling with anticipation of her Master's desires…
"I'm going to fuck you," Lex growled into Ova's ear. "But as I thrust into you… Mercy will feel me thrusting into her exactly the same way. And she will love it. Do you understand?"
"Ye-yes, Master!"
"And when I come… when my sperm floods into you… it will pass through you and straight into her, and she will come harder than she's ever come… her unprotected womb receiving my seed and thrilling her all at once!" Lex was hissing now, even as Ova heard his zipper lowering. "Do you understand that?!"
"...yeeeeesss…"
"Good." Lex smiled, thrusting forward… his cock hitting the djinn's vulva… parting it, spreading her wide and filling her almost painfully…
In the vision, Mercy shrieked, her body locking and her legs sliding wider. Despite her clothes, her tights, her panties all being in place, she felt Lex's cock impale her, and despite sudden terror she gasped in sheer pleasure…
Ova, over the aeons, had known many lovers. Some skilled, some clumsy. None were quite like Lex, however. Confident that the djinn's power would force enjoyment, he slammed into her almost heedlessly. Each thrust made it clear she was there to please him. And more than that, each thrust proved her power as its echo made Mercy writhe with pleasure she couldn't explain. Ova realized, as Lex thrust harder and harder into her, that Lex wasn't fucking her, or fucking Mercy. Lex was pleasuring himself and fulfilling his plans -- nothing more, and nothing less.
Had Ova been anyone else, she might have been offended… but Ova was incarnated to be exactly what Lex wanted… so Lex's almost callous use of the djinn was exactly what she wanted. With ragged moans she pushed back, her pussy clenching around Lex's cock, milking it, encouraging it… hungry to make it happy… hungry to feel his climax… to force his come, to flood herself and through her flood Mercy, unprotected without even knowing it…
"Now… now!" Lex hissed.
"Yes!" Ova shrieked, feeling Lex's cock thrust deep and explode deep in her… the vision of Mercy locking in helpless, powerful climax as Lex's seed flooded her body…
Lex breathed hard, eyes focused on the vision. "Now," he hissed. "Bring my seed and her egg together. Impregnate her, Ova -- now!"
"Yes… M-master…" Ova shuddered as an aftershock orgasm rippled through her and into Mercy, even as both Ova and Lex could sense the miracle of life accelerate, Lex's semen being drawn straight to where the egg was attached….
Lex moaned softly, literally feeling the spark as the two came together, and a single sperm penetrated the egg, so much faster than normal. He closed his eyes, savoring the moment…
Lex then pushed Ova off, and she fell forward onto the floor. "Clean my cock off," he snapped, watching Mercy slowly come down, looking around herself in a half-panic. He smiled as he felt Ova's lips slide over his penis, cleaning him… but his eyes stayed on Mercy.
Perfect. It had worked perfectly. From here… there was literally nothing Lex couldn't achieve.
It was time to test phase two.
