Allen wasn't trying to seduce or win Sue over. There were no romantic dinners or beach sunsets—he simply took her somewhere to have fun.
They watched a slasher movie, but instead of getting scared, Sue spent the whole time criticizing the killer for being inefficient. In fact, Makima, Albedo, Esdeath, Kurumi, and Wednesday took advantage of the dark theater to appear and join in on the roast of the pathetic murderer.
Afterward, they ate at McDonald's. Allen never expected to see Sue order a double burger without hesitation. Naturally, Allen also bought food for the Dolls. Sue didn't seem to notice that the mountain of food he ordered suddenly vanished.
Their date continued at the mall, where Allen browsed some jewelry that might suit Gwen, MJ, Felicia, Natasha, Raven, Kara, Annie, Unohana, Eve, Amanda...
Sue silently watched Allen buy around thirty different accessories—some youthful, some more elegant, and suitable for mature women. She didn't say anything until Allen turned to her and placed a star-shaped pendant around her neck. It was beautiful, but with her perfect memory, Sue was certain she hadn't seen him buy it.
"It's something special. Don't take it off unless you have to…"
The calm and kind expression on Allen's face took Sue by surprise, making her heart skip a beat. But she quickly composed herself and thanked him for the gift, which had suddenly become far more charming.
Finally, they went to the arcade to play for a while. Sue surprised Allen with her skill at fighting games. Then she won a stuffed animal from a claw machine and gave it to Allen.
"Wasn't I supposed to be the one giving you the plushie?" Allen laughed in disbelief.
Sue tilted her head, then tried to stuff the plushie back into the machine. Allen laughed in retaliation and pulled out ten more stuffed animals, giving them to Sue while keeping the bunny she had given him.
On the way home, Sue's gaze toward Allen had changed—it had grown more meaningful. She usually saw the world through a cold filter, rarely valuing anything. Most of her memories felt like dull, gray movies in her mind. But she was sure that this day would become a memory she'd never forget.
...
(One week later)
Allen had just finished another day of classes and walked out of his last one with Sue at his side. They looked so natural together that people gradually stopped paying attention.
"Waiting for your girlfriends?" Sue teased.
"Yep," Allen said with a grin.
Sue felt odd. She used to joke that Gwen, MJ, and Felicia were way too close to be "just friends" with Allen, and he would always respond that they were his girlfriends—but she had taken it as a joke. I mean, who would actually believe that? Who could?
She squinted at him with suspicion. Allen glanced at her from the corner of his eye. From his perspective, the girl beside him seemed to think someone like him couldn't have three girlfriends. So he gave up trying to convince her.
They reached a nice spot on the grass under a tree. Without hesitation, Allen sat in the shade. Sue hesitated a bit before sitting beside him. Allen took off his jacket and handed it to Sue. She looked at it in confusion—it wasn't cold. But Allen, with his eyes closed, gestured toward her skirt. Sue noticed that from Allen's position, he could see her underwear.
Blushing slightly, she draped Allen's jacket over her legs, then looked at him in silence for a moment before speaking.
"Thanks…"
"Don't worry about it."
They both sat quietly, listening to the distant voices of other students and the soft sound of the wind. Their relationship was surprisingly healthy—if you ignored the sarcasm, teasing, and occasional snide remarks. So healthy, in fact, that even Johnny had no choice but to accept it.
"Sue…"
"…?"
"I might be gone for a month…"
"I see…"
The statement was simple, and so was her response. Whether Sue had figured out Allen's secret identity was unclear. But considering how much time they spent together and how famous he was, it wouldn't be surprising. Still, Sue didn't confess to knowing, and Allen didn't say anything either.
They sat in silence for ten more minutes. But it wasn't an awkward silence—it was a peaceful one. It wasn't until MJ appeared in the distance that Sue finally spoke.
"Take care…" she murmured.
"I will…" Allen replied quietly.
...
One morning, Allen Allen woke up with Diana by his side. He didn't feel like getting up, so he made his phone float in the air to check the news.
"Big mistake!" One of the headlines described a floating island that had appeared in the sky.
Allen got up, walked to the window, and opened it. Sure enough, up in the sky, there was an island floating.
"Oh, shit..." Allen immediately called Tony.
"Allen?!" Tony sounded surprised and nervous about the sudden call.
"Tony..." Allen spoke in a low voice like he was ready to vaporize the island and beat up whoever was behind it.
"Wait, I know how it looks, but don't worry—it's not some apocalyptic thing."
"Really? Because that thing is literally screaming the end of the world!"
"Okay, I get it, but trust me, it's not something to freak out about…"
Allen rubbed his forehead and decided to let it slide.
"Fine. I'll give you a chance. I hope I won't regret it."
"Haha, don't worry~" Allen hung up, and Diana hugged him from behind, kissing his neck with a soft purr.
"Babe, don't get worked up over something like this~"
Diana's seductive voice calmed Allen's anger. He weighed his options—on one hand, he could fly up to the island and figure out what was going on; on the other hand… he could cuddle with Diana.
Allen turned around, picked Diana up, and carried her back to bed, using magic to close the curtains.

The next day...
Opening his eyes in his room, Allen decided to get up and prepare for his next adventure. Everything sounded great… except for one thing: the bastard still lacked all sense of decency. In his massive bed, four women were sleeping peacefully—or at least, three of them were. The fourth one opened her eyes as soon as Allen got up.
Allen had gone nearly a month without doing a live stream, focusing entirely on his own world. But this time, he planned to visit some people (women) in the DC universe—and maybe handle a few loose ends he'd left behind.
That was the plan, at least…
Allen looked at the girls, and his eyes met Natasha's. She smiled, silently wishing him a safe trip with a warm expression.
Allen nodded, saying goodbye to Natasha, knowing that no matter where he went next, this was the place he would return to.
He gave her a goodbye kiss, and also kissed Felicia, MJ, and Gwen, who were still sleeping peacefully after last night. Fortunately, no one else was home, or they would've been deeply embarrassed by what they might've heard. (Cate had moved into the girls' dorm at the X-Mansion). Of course, that didn't include the Dolls—Albedo had burned with jealousy all night, Jalter and Bocchi had fainted from embarrassment more than once, and Kurumi had watched Allen with a look of disgust, thinking that no matter how handsome and strong he was, he was still a total pervert.
2B and Albedo showed up to help him get dressed. Soon after, he was ready: black shirt, pants, no accessories, no jacket or trench coat—just that.
"Thanks," Allen said, patting 2B and Albedo on the head. The latter smiled and squirmed like he had just proposed to her, but everyone was already used to Albedo's antics, so they ignored her.
A portal opened, and Allen, his girls, and the system crossed through it...

(DC Universe)
Allen appeared on a crowded street in Metropolis. There were tons of people, and no one noticed one more person in the crowd.
The city atmosphere was alive—everyone was busy, heading in different directions with purpose. There were no screams or explosions, which was strangely relaxing for Allen, whose own world had slowly turned into a superhero battle royale.
"I wonder if Kara's around…"
Allen smiled mischievously, imagining himself teasing Kara—and maybe even making their relationship official. There were feelings between them, and they already considered each other a couple, but their relationship didn't feel quite the same as what he had with MJ or Felicia. The same could be said for Raven.
Of course, he didn't forget to launch Steam, and the chat was immediately flooded with comments—people asking about his long absence, when he'd visit, mockery, complaints, and a few weird questions. Allen walked into an alley and leaned against a wall.
"So, where should I go first…"
In an instant, the scenery changed. The towering skyscrapers were replaced by the interior of a classy bar—wooden tables and chairs, a quiet bar counter, warm red tones, and wooden decor inviting people to drink and forget about life. It was a place full of freedom and leisure.
But none of that mattered—because something far more important stood before Allen.
There was a cage. And inside it was Zatanna.
She stared at him in disbelief, which quickly turned to horror and fear.
"You don't have to worry about that..."
"...!"
Instinct…
Allen instantly summoned Clown Crown in its Divine Comedy form. His eyes went emotionless, his movements surpassed the physical limits of matter. Out of nowhere, Allen exploded into motion, spinning faster than ever at top speed.
The katana sliced through the air with overwhelming force.
It was instinct—
He didn't need to see it to know it was dangerous.
He didn't need to sense its power to know it was terrifying.
He didn't need to think to understand that if he didn't move, he'd die.
Allen didn't hesitate—he attacked with intent to kill.
But—
To Allen's disbelief, the katana met its end.
It was stopped… by a hand.
So easily. So simply. It was like the blade didn't have the power to split the universe in half.
"You..."
It was a man… or something like that. It was terrifying.
Standing before Allen, the man closed his hand and crushed Clown Crown. The pieces floated in the air as Allen's eyes widened in shock. Then, for the first time ever on camera, Allen spoke with a tone that revealed an emotion he had never shown before—a mix of anger and frustration.
"Lucifer Morningstar!"
Allen's throat almost tore itself apart saying that name.
Because even with all his power…
Even with all his tricks…
Even from his point of view—
The man in front of him was a monster.
Lucifer smiled.
"Allen Walker… you're a long way from your original world."
Cold sweat ran down Allen's back...
