I do not own Justice League, but I really, REALLY wish I did! I was feeling very bored and this idea came up in my head. Hopefully, this'll get a load of laughs out of my devoted fans! Enjoy!
Dinah Lance for President (or Canary Vs. Bat if you'd prefer)
It was a lazy Wednesday afternoon as three exhausted Justice Leaguers were strewn on the sofa watching a rerun of Family Feud.
"Oy, I'm bored. I think parts of my energy oozed out." Lois murmured, her eyes nearly closing as a bit of drool formed on the sofa pillow.
"Hah! You aren't the only one who's experiencing cabin fever around here. Look at me for example; Kory and Dick have been borrowing my spare apartment for months and the only place that's available for me is the bathroom!" Green Arrow snapped, a hint of his wise-cracking mannerisms in his voice as he placed a ice bag on his head.
"Ugh; this is so dull. We've been reduced to meager couch potatoes. Gad, if only there were something exciting to happen around here." Power Girl called out, as only the humming of the air vent and the noise of the TV were visible.
"Gee, that felt good. Wow; I've never felt so energetic in days." Green Arrow quipped sarcastically. Lois smacked him with her pillow.
"Thanks. I needed that." Green Arrow smirked. "You mean just to try to do something funny?" Power Girl asked quizzically. "No. To ease my headache. It's been numbing for days." Green Arrow replied, the three simultaneously sighing in boredom before all of a sudden, the Hail to the Chief theme blared over the intercoms.
"AAAA! We're under attack! Man the defenses!" Flash hollered wildly, diving under the velvet couch as a massive float entered the living room. Lois could easily tell just who came up with such a crazy idea.
"Dinah, what are you doing? Don't you know the next April Fools' prank isn't until next year?" Green Arrow asked as Dinah handed him a ballot. "Hmm, wonder what it is?" Power Girl thought, only to gasp in awe at what she saw.
"Dinah… You're running for president?" Lois gasped in shock. "WHAT?" everyone shouted, as the entire League staff was crowded around the Canary.
"I don't know, I guess I was thinking to myself; what could I do to spread my integrity and beauty around the world we live in to help out the cause? Well, I eventually decided that running for president is the best solution." Dinah explained, a daydreaming look on her face as she saw her face added to Mount Rushmore.
"Dinah, forgive me if I'm being gruff, but…" Batman started before grasping Dinah's shoulders and squawking "Are you OUT OF YOUR MIND?" "Geez, next time say it don't spray it, Bats." Dinah commented, wiping off spit from her dress.
"Dinah, you don't know anything about politics!" Roy added, Dinah snorting in reply. "Sure I do. My great-grandfather was president in the 1800s. And believe me, politics do run in the Lance bloodline! And who better than me to keep it flowing?" Dinah boasted, puffing her chest.
"That wasn't what I had in mind, but… eh, what the heck." Roy shrugged, waving his hands in the air in disgust. "Um, excuse me but before you go any further into your crazed President Lance dream again, you'll need a campaign manager for the election." Huntress explained, Batman smirking. "Only a real dummy would be gullible for that." Green Arrow snapped only to eat that sentence as Mera appeared in a voting senate dress.
"Did someone say manager? I have placed many Atlantean senators under my belt." Mera replied, Dinah beaming in joy as the two embraced giddily.
"You had to open that large mouth of yours, didn't you?" Hawkman snorted before finally exhaling "Ok Dinah, we'll help with your election." Batman nearly fainted in shock when Superman started forming a vote poster on the Watchtower computer.
"Don't listen to old grumpy pants over there. Booster and I can whip up some real juicy ideas to help your polls!" Skeets piped up as Dinah started ironing her campaign dress. "Thanks Skeets. Oh, this is so exciting. If I win, the expression on Batman's face will be priceless!" Dinah giggled before her eyes widened at the horror before her.
"Meet your competition, birdie." Batman boasted, appearing in his presidential suit. Dinah was more concerned by seeing Two-Face of all people, standing next to him. "What's the idea of bringing Mr. Gruesome Twosome in here?" Power Girl wondered, as she was drying her hair.
"I heard that Bats here was planning on running for President, so I pitched my stake in." Two-Face growled, flipping his trademark two-headed coin, only for it to land on heads, again. "Damn it! I should have this thing examined."
"So, you're planning to run against me for the seat of the White House?" Dinah teased gently, the Dark Knight fondly smirking. "We'll see who's the best candidate." "And remember; at the results, no hard feelings." Huntress warned, the two campaign rivals shaking hands fairly.
"So be it." Batman grunted, adding "May the best one win" as a mischievous smile formed on Dinah's face. "Oh that reminds me… Meet my campaign adviser…" Dinah boasted, whistling out the back hallway. A whinnying noise rang out, then who showed up but the Headless Horseman himself.
"You… you hired him?!" Two-Face spat, mortified. The Horseman dismounted from his steed. "Well, it took me some time but I booked some spots for your voting speeches" Headless grunted, tinkering with his beeper.
"So for your campaigning staff it's Mera, Huntress, Hawkman, Hippolyta, Aquaman, Hawkgirl, Nocturna, Poison Ivy, Lady Blackhawk, Supergirl, Lois, Lana and Wildcat, and finally this headless dude? You've got to be joking me!" Robin guffawed only to shrink back as the Horseman's steed growled at him, with Hippolyta herself watching from afar. "Great Hera help us all…" Hippolyta muttered before doing an about face, silently giggling to herself, whilst mentally thinking Batman doesn't even know I have more than a few tricks up my sleeve to turn the odds of my precious little Dinah winning in her favor. And as always, mother knows best.
The race for the presidency is on! Will Black Canary win and get the chance of making her lifelong dreams of changing the world a reality? Will Batman ever lighten up and maybe aid Dinah? And will Robin ever quit being such a boot licker? And what plans does our headless hero have in store for Dinah's campaign? Stay posted for Part 2, same Bat-time, and same Bat-fiction!
