A Hollow in DC

Taking in the so-called homunculi my eyes widened as I took in the perversely dressed homunculi as I truly recognized them well three for sure but the fourth, I had a good idea of. "No fucking way... I knew the dimensional barriers were shit but seriously how the fuck did they get here?!" I hissed taking in the Einzbern Homunculi and I wondered how in the damned world they got here.

In order of the kneeling Homunculi, I recognized Leysritt with her dull expression and larger breasts that contrasted with Sella who was beside her on the right and had her hair in a long ponytail, and out of all the homunculi she had the smallest breasts. Beside Sella, was Irisviel as I could recognize her hairstyle and she was holding herself together mentally more than the other three other homunculi other than Leyrsritt who was putting on a facade of dull uncaring while the other two were clearly freaking out but trying to put on a brave face.

But the kicker was the last one and proof that something was fucky as on the end was who I was damned sure was Illyasviel Von Einsbern but she was not actually a little girl and looked to be in her late teens with a figure that matched her mothers.

'Was that the work of whoever is selling them?' I pondered tapping my foot on the ground anxiously before I just muttered. "Fuck it I need actual maids anyway," I muttered as I firmed my will and as the plebians in the bottom row made their verbal calls of their offers I cleared my throat as I spoke.

"I bid ten one ton of gold and thirty ounces of rubies," I called out silencing the auction house as typically the VIPs saved their funds for the highly anticipated items towards the end of the auction that could bankrupt a realm for items like the Golden Apple Tree Cuttings or something like some water taken from the Fountain of Youth before it was destroyed and so on.

"Oooh VIP thirty-two has come out swinging! Does he have a fetish and will despoil these lovely gems with eyes like the rubies he put out for his offer!" The damned succubus said to hype everyone up and I wanted to strangle the bitch as she continued. "Will some valiant man save these lovely ladies from the evil clutch's of the VIP overlords!?" She cried out egging the people on with her Succubus magic addling their minds.

From another VIP room, a man with an almost hissing voice spoke out. "I have never tried the blood of a Homunculus before... The Del Toro clan bids three hundred beautiful unsullied virgins evenly split between boys and girls for those four." At his offer, I saw on the plaque that I had in my room that his offer was considered 'more valuable' than mine.

But just because his offer was worth mine didn't mean this auction house was fair as I grinned viciously as the dumbass literally stated his background and I knew his damned clan was based in Miami Florida as I felt their souls when I was fighting those plant monsters that interrupted the kind of date Galatea I had on the beach with Supergirl being a kind of third wheel.

"Ooh the Del Toro clan huh... Go ahead and buy them. I know exactly where you live in Miami and before you even arrive back on Earth, I will be waiting for you so I can take my prize back home." I said blatantly threatening him and as the auction went dead silent a loud buzzing noise rang out as the dumbass vampire retracted his offer and everyone in the auction house broke out into booing and the succubus auctioneer shook her head smiling wryly.

"Well, Mr. Del Toro, Lord Glory has decided you are not worthy of your status as a VIP. Please leave your suite and either join the lower deck or leave the auction house altogether. As weak cowards are not welcome here." She said cheerily before she looked up to me as she smiled but it had more teeth than such a smile should. "Now you Jake, you can't bully everyone for bidding higher or the auction house won't work... And Lord Glory doesn't want to make an example out of someone before the first three items even are sold, you understand?" She spoke and I nodded as a red magical ring grew in my room.

I knew the ring would teleport my goods that were accepted to the back of the auction house so I put as close as I could to an exact measurement of what I had bid and then with a flash of light the circle on the ground in my suit teleported the pile of gems and gold into away.

"Alright now for the next item on our list. This is a trident made to resemble the trident of Poseidon exactly the same as the ones wielded by both Poseidon and the hero Aquaman but its power is... Far less considerable." She explained honestly and I snorted as of course some copy would be far weaker than what it was made to emulate.

A couple of minutes later as I was preparing for the third item the space bracelet I wanted, I heard a series of polite knocking on my door. Knowing the doors were locked I pushed the rune that would unseal it as these VIP rooms allowed for some privacy except for people that were magically inclined and wanted to get past the weak obscuring magic in play within the VIP section here to see who was within.

"Lord of the Unfettered Winds your prize is here. After your payment has been accepted." A female voice spoke that was likely one of the Auction House's maids or something.

Then shuffled in my four so-called prizes. Four Einzbern-looking Homunculi that I couldn't find a single difference from their fate counterparts... Well except for this Illya looks alike not being a little girl.

As the door locked behind me, I looked at the girls who stood awkwardly in front of me and after a moment of thought, I closed my eyes as I sighed and decided to just get it out of the way. "Sit down you three," I ordered and my eye twitched as of all damned things they had a purple collar tattoo glowing on their neck as well as some kind of tattoo over their wombs that glowed through the thin fabric of their skimpy maid outfit that responded to my orders.

The three I spoke to being Sella, Leysritt, and Illyasviel crouched down not taking the orders more liberally to sit down on one of the empty couches but directly on the ground while Irisviel remained standing, but I saw her eyes tighten seeing the Illyasviel look alike plop down on the ground. "I mean sit down on the couches in this room. Just get comfortable." I said already wondering if I could get these seals or magical crap off of them somehow.

When the three girls finally sat down and got comfortable, I heard Avari the auctioneer calling that the Space Bracelet was up for bid now. "One sec," I told Irisviel as I spoke out loudly. "Five tons of gold, ten tons of silver, and fifty ounces of magically compatible diamonds," I added specifically so people knew the diamonds came from a magically rich area such as a dragon's hoard or other places as normal gems typically weren't magical conductive and needed further refinement, but these wouldn't need that and could just have spells woven into it or likewise used as a focus for a staff or wards.

With my bid out in the air and a good quarter of my more liquid funds in that bet, I focused back on Irisviel who flinched as my gaze carried the weight of my spiritual power. "Alright. Honestly, you were an impulse buy, due to me somewhat recognizing you sorta..." I then leaned forward onto my folded-over hands as I spoke again. "Does the words Heavens Feel mean anything to you?" I asked and Irisviel's widened dramatically.

Not only was she stunned into silence, but Sella and Ilya gasped in surprise before Irisviel slowly began to speak. "Yes... Our blood remains that of Einzbern make so the Heaven's Feel is always on our mind." She answered hesitantly and I just wanted to groan.

"How the hell did you get here then!?" I demanded making her flinch and I realized she and her family members had been magically bound for God knows how long by some kind of alchemist who had also fixed up their issues giving them that longer lifespan and that weird one energy ability.

So I needed to take things slow with these four...

"I apologize for my outburst," I spoke softly as silence filled the room with only Illyasviel meeting my eyes as all the rest looked at the floor seemingly wanting to avoid my gaze. "Look... You four are an anomaly. No... That doesn't matter. How did you all get here?" I asked softly this time looking to Illya who was surprisingly the one with the most courage but at my question she smiled sadly.

"It's very complicated but during a magical battle I and my family were sorta merged together and then blown up with a spatial shredding magical spell that tore apart our bodies, but our souls were protected by a magical artifact and were sent here in sort of remade bodies." Illya vaguely explained and as she mentioned being merged, I saw Irisviel flinch and shudder. And with that very telling sign, I realized what nonsense she was talking about.

She came from a Fate Stay Night timeline and was wearing the Dress of Heaven that was made from Sella and Leysritt's form. And that was the reason those two were so subdued as in that timeline they were just broken little Einzbern homunculi with little personality and ego unlike Illya and Irisviel who broke through the cages of mental conditioning the Einzbern family put them through.

And with her being the Lesser Grail it made sense that with... Obviously, Gilgamesh's Ea is being used on her with her connection to the grail, and in turn, her mother would lead Irisviel to hitch a ride on whatever the hell the Grail did to send them here to this DC universe.

God, the Source Wall was shit at keeping people out of the DC universe and only good at keeping people in.
