Metropolis, DE Nov 2 3:00 am

Roman ran down the streets and through the back alleys, making his way to the museum to get his car. System was able to track Superman, as he followed them.

He soon made it there, to find his camaro still there. He retrieved his keys from the office inside. Started the car and pulled out of the parking lot. "Where is he System?"

"The Superman is 50 yards away in the air. He is still following you."

"Yeah, I wonder what is he waiting for? No matter we'll loose him soon. How do we recharged?"

"When in standby mode the two bands on your wrist collect solar and Lunar energy. Are back to full strength now, if you want to use a power."

Roman started to remember the list of powers, "We need a smoke screen to get some distance to do what's next."

"And what might that be?"

"Go back to my apartment get few things, then head to some friends I have. Maybe hide out for a days or at least till I figure this out." Roman said as he weaved in and out of traffic.

"System suggest photokinesis to bend the light around Roman's camaro to become invisible even to the Superman's enhanced sight."

"Alright do it." the camaro disappeared. "Okay this is awesome." he laughed.

Roman soon arrived at his building. He drops the power. He enters his room, changes his blazer for an incline zip light tan leather jacket with faux fur collard, and starts to quickly packs a medium size duff bag. He puts MacBook and mp3 player into the bag on top of his clothes. He takes all of his research notes and put them his leather messaged bag. He shoulders the bags, grabs his jacket, and returns to his camaro. He throws his stuff to the passenger seat. He start drives away the first strop he makes is to fill up his gas tank and to get some snacks for the trip. He then starts the drive from Metropolis to Gotham City.


Gotham City, NJ Nov 2 1:00 pm

After stoping at a rest stop to sleep and to read over his notes of the clay tables translations that he did himself, he makes a major breakthrough. Roman arrives in Gotham City. "It's nice to be home again." He drove through the city until He found what he was looking for. A night club, he parks around back. He gets out and puts on his jacket and his sunglasses. He bangs on the back door.

A black guy opens the door, "Man, wha you want?"

"I'm here to see your boss, Lucas"

"Ha yeah right." he says as he starts to close the door.

"I'm his brother,"

The guy pauses for moment, "No way, get lost."

"Yeah, yeah just tell him Roman is here to see him." Roman walked pass the bouncer, when he grabs Roman's shoulder in protest, Roman elbows him in the gut. Roman walks to the bar, and making himself a drink. A group of guys came in carrying guns, and aimed at Roman. They were followed another black guy, he was more fit than Roman, wearing a tight red shirt and a pair blue jeans. He had light hazel eyes, black hair, and mocha color skin. This was Lucas Knight, the club boss and Roman's Foster Brother.

"You got a lot of nerve to walk back into here."

"Well it was pretty easy Lucas." both men tried to keep straight face, but they soon broke into laughter. they moved to embraced each other in a hug. "How are doing brother."

"Good, moms better now since getting that money you sent last month."

"Hey no problem bro."

"Have you been working out? 'Cause you look a bit more beefy"

"Yeah I have been hitting the gym with Chuck and Tony, listen could we talk in private?" the two men go to Lucas's office. The room had tv with the news channel on. They sit down on a pair of chairs by a desk. Roman see a pile of drugs a table in the room. "Are you still using?"

"Nope I've been clean since our talk. Just dealing now."

"Okay, listen I'm in trouble, something happen at the museum."

"Roman be careful what you tell him. He is with one of the Justice League's villains." Roman decided to keep quite about the involvement of the Justice League.

"I just need a place to hide for few days while I plan my next move."

"Alright you can hang out here until we close then you can come stay at my place." Lucas saw the news was showing a flight between Superman and another unknown super being in similar outfit to Superman's all the way down to the big S-shield and red cape, except for the fact the being was female

"Hey man turn that up."

"As you can see the unknown being is dress like Superman and appears to have the same powers as well. We still have no info on the identity to that super being" a car flies toward the news crew but they saved by Flash and Captain Marvel.

"It seems like the Justice League are too busy to look for you, Roman should be safe for now."

"Alright System, we will hold out here until we figure what to next."

"Can you believe this another super being flying around." Lucas shake his head that the news

"I hear there was another one flying around Metropolis yesterday. So what are the girls like here?"

"Oh are you going to have good time tonight, I'm going to make of that. Come on." Lucas and Roman exit the office. "Hey what happen with that girl you brought to moms a couple years back. What was her name Diane"

"Dana, I just say that I lost my appeal to her after five dates, and that I wasn't the only she was seeing."

"That sucks man, you did sleep with her at least right? Cuz she was smoking hot."

"No way man, you know my rules. If a girl can't make to date number six, then she doesn't make it to my bed, no matter what she looks like"

"You and that stupid rule, I told you that when you came up with it. No girl is going to go along it all those rule. I mean the sex one I get, but the no kissing. That how girls find out if is worth the wait, if he can't get their motor running from a kiss she not going be into him for long." They make it to the bar, and starts making himself another drink, but he begins to make show using his heighten senses and reflexes to juggle the bottles, he pours two drinks, Lucas' face turns to shocked when drinks the honey color liquor. "Bro! Where did you learn to do that and make this drink, it taste like…well I can't really descried what it is like."

Roman just smiled,"I acted as bartender at many of Chuck and Tony's party at the apartment. I could write it down for your regular guys."

"Girls." Lucas corrects him.

The bouncer at the back door came over to them,"Boss, that Tim Mills guy is back,"

"Alright show him in", he turns to Roman,"You got back right?"

"Do you really need to ask?"

This Tim Mills guy walks with seven guys with him. Tim was not the like you thought of a criminal. His shoulder-length dark brown hair was pulled into a pony-tail. Had gray hair at the side burns, and a graying goatee. He had on a nice gray suit. They gave Roman an uneasy feeling, because they had pistols in hip holsters. But all of Lucas's guys had their weapon already drawn.

"Lucas who are these guys?"

"Don't worry they are just my drug suppliers, they are just dropping off the next shipment."

"You do this at your club." Lucas look at him like 'yeah why not' Roman face palms

"Who is this Lucas, you know we don't like new faces, so why are we seeing a new face Lucas." Tim says he draws his nine-millimeter, and points it at Roman.

"Hey, hey, hey this is just my brother Roman, he just works at the museum in Metropolis, He came up to visit."

"Jason go search him for a wire." A guy Tim's right side walks over to Roman and with a device, scans him for bugs. He nods to Tim when the scanner says he is clean.

"He's clean now can we do this?" Lucas asked

"Ya. Trevor go get everything from the truck. Jason go help him." Tim orders then turns to Roman and saw the glasses in front of him, "Where you two having a drink?"

"Yeah we were, do you want one?"

"Ya I just have what you were having." Roman makes another three drinks of the recipe from before even the same show. Tim looked taken aback by taste. "Wow that's good. So Roman what do you for the museum?"

"I'm historian and the new exhibit coordinator, I'm on the new exhibit for that Roman Villa they found in southern France.

"So how are you two brothers."

"We're foster brothers, our moms were really good friends back in college. When my parents died, Lucas's mom took me in and raised me."

Soon Lucas and Tim finish their business and parted ways. After Tim had left, Roman punches Lucas shoulder. "What is wrong with Lucas, seriously getting mixed up with people like that."

Lucas just laugh at him. The rest of the afternoon was uneventful. At around five o'clock, Lucas's bar staff started to show up for work. Roman listen to his mp3 player while he went through in his mind all of the drinks he knew, making the ones that he came up with in college, he had the best ones ready by the time Lucas's regular bartenders. Lucas met them at the door. He made the introduction.

"Roman this is Rachel, Heather, Shelby, Claire, and Nikki. And Ladies this is Roman, my brother." Rachel and Shelby both had light brown, Shelby had hazel eyes and a medium to dark tan, Rachel brown eyes and a fair-skin tone. Heather and Claire had a european dissented with platinum blonde hair, and blue eyes. They could passed as twins. Heather did have a timid feeling about her. Roman thought she was cuter than the others. Nikki was hispanic with light brown eyes, raven black hair. All five women had nice fit and curvy bodies. "Ladies, I will leave you in his very capable and talented hands."

Roman show them how to make the drink with and without the show, all of them didn't have reflexes to do the show of twirling and flipping the bottles safely Roman had to save many of the bottles before smashing on the floor. Roman stayed behind the bar to help out.

"It looks like you are a hit with the ladies," Heather comments about all of the girls hanging around the bar longer than usual.

"You really think so?"

"Well yeah, of course we have been talking you up to girls. Lucas told us what happen with you last girlfriend, so we talk and decided to act as boosters for you. You know talk you up to the girls."

"You girls didn't need to do that, I can get my own dates."

"So have you seen any that interest you." Claire asked who was listening next to them.

"One or two…or five" Roman smile when the two women hit him on the arms, "But I know they couldn't possibly be interested in little old me.

Heather and Claire look at each other, then Heather says, "You may be wrong on that fact."

Before Roman could replied two women, "Excuse me can you help us." they look at Roman.

Roman put on a friendly face,"Sure ladies, how can I help you." They were cute, one blonde and one black hair. The blonde was an attractive young woman that had blue eyes and a slender yet toned figure. The brunette was a noticeably tall and fair-skinned woman, who had blue eyes, she was sporting a slender yet curvaceous frame with a sizable bust and lean yet well-muscled build.

"Can you make us one of those drinks everyone in there have." the blonde asked.

"I can handle that." Roman started to making the best drink of the night. Doing the show boating.

"Roman that is the woman from outside the room Justice League had you in."

"Yeah I recognized her, if she's with the Justice League then other is with them too," Roman hands the drinks to the women, "There you go."

"Maybe there is something else you can help us with. We are looking the someone, a guy from Metropolis, last seen coming into Gotham City." The blonde pulls out security camera photo of him in the Justice League base, but it was too grainy to make him out.

Roman figure he could get away with lying to them,"Let me guess bounty hunters… no, cops right. Your are cops. Yeah I saw him, he was in here earlier, what of it."

"Do you know where he went." The brunette finally spoke.

"He was talking about a job he had in Manhattan, said he was heading there tonight." They couldn't leave fast enough. Roman walk in to a back room.

Heather follows Roman, "So what was all that about"

"They were looking for me, but they didn't have a good photo. So I told them a lie, but I don't think they fell for it." Heather gave him a look that said 'Yeah right?', "Okay I'm not used to lying, a day ago I was just a history nerd. Now I got people after me, I'm out of my element here."

Heather cuts him off by doing something Roman didn't expected, she kisses him. Roman was caught off guard, but he soon reacts by deepening the kiss. Roman could feel the passion flowing after her in waves. Their lips lock lasted for about a minute. Roman pulls back when he hears someone coming.

"Someone coming?" He whispers into ear. Heather straighten out her top. Roman turns to see Lucas come in.

"There you are. Claire said there were two women, they were asking question, she heard you call them cops." Heather leaves and returns the bar.

"They weren't cops, they were are apart of this group that broke into the museum yesterday, they nearly killed me, they were after this shipment of artifacts that came in from a dig in europe. They have been after me since then. I won't be able to stay the night. I got to get out of here before they come back"

"Are you going to say goodbye to Heather, because I know you two back here making out. I told her you were good guy which she has been looking for since her last asshole boyfriend, who like to knock her around bit last month, I had my boys go tune his ass up, but the guy was gone."

"You're trying get me together with Heather huh?" Lucas just smiled,

Roman shook his head, "Okay I talk to Heather before I leave." Roman walk back to the bar, found Heather pulled her off to the side, "Hey I have to take off for a while, but we should talk about what just happened."

"Don't worry about it, I don't even know why I…" this time she was cut off by Roman kissing her.

"I know exactly why you did it. A lot of the times we allow ourselves to have only the love we think we deserves even if that love hurts us, but for some of us have a part of us that is always trying to find something better. For some of us get caught off guard. I am open to coming back and exploring this whatever this is, if that is alright with you."

"I think I could be open to that." Heather smiled and kiss him on the cheek. She walks away with a little pep in her step. Roman found smiling to himself, he was on cloud nine, all of these happy feelings did something to his connection with System, unlocking memories from another life. He then knew exactly what he had to do next.

Roman quickly grabs his things and leaves. He reaches his car. He senses someone watching him, "Okay you can come out,"

Aqualad walks out of the shadows, "Are you going come with us willing."

"Yeah I figure it would be safer to deal with you instead those other guys, I know exactly what they are after now. And the statue was just the beginning." Roman extends his hand toward the hero. Aqualad shakes his hand, "You can call me Dragonfist."
