Gohan panics, knowing he can't control the Oozaru form, this puts the world in jeopardy if ha unleashes it. The transformation, while not the strongest, takes years of training to control it, but the power boost is immense.
Bruce switches mode, from the father of orphans to the Bat. "We might if you tell me why," he says needing the information to decide his next course of action.
"Its not an immediate problem, but if I see a full moon I turn into a fifty foot ape that is ten times stronger than I am in my base," the boy said trying to stay calm, "but, its not the power increase that worries me, when I change, it takes over, I lose my direct control of myself. Gohan shivers, remembering the feeling of losing control over your own body and letting a monster lose with more power than he had at the time.
"We won't cut off the tail," the Bat answered the kid, who had lined up his own speech in case Bruce said no, "We are going to help you control it, you will however have to join ether the Justice League or the Team, just so we can monitor your progress while you receive a place to stay."
Gohan looked confused, having been in multiple situations where the Oozaru form put himself and others in danger. "Sir what is this Justice League and Team you speak of," Gohan questioned trying to buy time on his decision and get more info on his choices.
Bruce would have been confused had he not eliminated the possibility of him being from his Earth. "The League is a group of super powered or extraordinary individuals that use their skills to protect the Earth, we deal with the big threats such as if cell..." Gohan shudders at the mention of its name, "... had showed up on this earth," Batman explains, "the Team however consists mainly of our protoje's, they take on covert missions to gain information for the League, they have yet to get an official mission as they have only recently been created and could use a being with your abilities alongside them."
Batman had stopped talking, seeing letting the information be processed.
Gohan however could not understand how the Dark Knight in front of him was going to train him in controlling his powers, considering he was a regular human with no ki training.
"If I agree to this how are you planning on me learning to control 'it'," Gohan asks, "because I'm pretty sure from what your telling me if I changed I would be spotted and the problems will only start from there."
"We have means of getting you off world, and finding an planet devoid of life, were you can do all to your hearts content, however unless I say otherwise, you have to request to go and then be escorted to the planet to train with the individual," Bats explain setting the ground work to their agreement, "anything can be changed if you cooperate with us and show that the League and the Team can trust you."
The more Gohan thought about it, the more Batman reminded him of Piccolo, the calculating, leaving nothing to chance attitude and the coldness to most of his actions fit the both of them. But at the moment he had to choose, go on the run, surviving in the wilderness until he could find a way home on his own, or ask the stranger in front of him for help. It was clear to him the answer and the silence between the two was almost unbearable.
"I agree, but I wish to join this Team," Gohan had spoke after a minute or so, "I haven't had much experience with people my age and would like a change." Gohan stood reaching his hand out to the bat to confirm the deal.
Batman was happy with the result and shook the boys hand.
M'gann was on her third attempt at making cookies using a new recipe, she knew it couldn't be too difficult as the woman on the tv had made it look like a piece of cake, she on the other hand was burning that cake too.
Conner was watching looking for phones on the internet as Robin had said they are a must in schools now. He knew that of course but he didn't see why Batman said he would fund it, up to two hundred dollars per member. Must be him doing his part to integrate him and M'gann into normal society.
If Robin hadn't had those acting lessons during his training he would be rolling on the floor hysterical as he tricked Superboy into using his mentors card to buy a phone online. He had swiped it when Bruce was away interrogating involving an unknown element in Gotham. He got bored in the mansion on his own and remembered that Bruce never takes his wallet when he becomes the Bat unless he goes to the Watchtower or to Mount Justice. He is going to be so pissed at Superboy.
Kaldur had taken to getting to know his team better, how he wished he didn't at this moment, Wally had decided to try and get him to help with a prank he wanted to pull off but couldn't due to him not being able to move matter, and have a respectful attitude to go along get away with such a thing.
Wally was at first taken back when Aqualad had offered some of his time to Wally. As Wally is a quick thinker, when he wants to be, he formulated a plan to get closer to M'gann and to show his fine Atlantean friend the art of pranks. By getting him to soak M'gann while using the sink Wally thought that getting the towel could help in winning her over.
"Recognised Batman 02 Vegeta B06," a robotic female voice echos through the cave. M'gann shocked at Batman showing up unexpectedly, she forgets to take out the egg shells. Kaldur and Wally both wordlessly agree to reschedule or cancel their plans. Conner just gets up from the computer not noticing Robins face go white for the briefest of moments.
The team rush into the mission room to be greeted with a new face.
"Dude, whats with the onesie," Wally jokes not noticing the muscle on the exposed arms of the young boy.
Gohan was a bit annoyed over this as the clothes he wore was a gi designed to look identical to his master Piccolo, it also was the only thing that survived the journey that Gohan could keep. Gohan let slip a glare but quickly returned to a small smile, "This is one of my most prised possessions 'Dude.'"
"Care to elaborate Batman questioned the strange boy in front of the Team.
Robin was barely listening, as this boy was younger than, that was for sure as he couldn't be more than twelve, putting it at a stretch. Something was off about him, not considering his choice in clothes, he had something in movements that was hard to pick out.
"This it a copy of my mentors gi, the last thing I have from my world other than this," Gohan throws Batman two beans, "they are magic beans, called Senzu Beans, they immediately heal you of all physical injuries and restore stamina and will keep you full for ten days as well, I would of had more but most of them burnt up when travelled here. Its also hard to grow so if you can work out how to grow more that would be greatly appreciated
Robin repeated the small almost insignificant movement in his head, to get the bean to land on his mentors hand take ether skill or luck but this kid threw it as if he did that sort of throw all the time. It had also stopped dead on his hand, an almost impossible feat to do and cant be counted as luck due to the small size of this Senzu bean. Something else clicked in the Boy Wonders brain, the kid had to have held back on the throw, but he didn't change his posture while in the throw meaning the kid ether was extremely weak or extremely strong, and it doesn't take a genius to see the muscles in his arms.
"I will work on a way of growing more then," Bruce states obviously seeing the significance of such a bean. "Team, this is Son Gohan, he recently arrived from another universe, we are in the process in building a device that will transport Gohan back home, until then he is on this team."
Gohan looked at the new faces in front of him, nervous of the next words to come out of their mouths.
Kaldur spoke up first, "Welcome to the team Son."
"Its Gohan, nice to meet you..." Gohan just realised he didn't know anyone's name.
"Kaldur'ahm, just call me Kaldur but on mission I am Aqualad," the Atlantean said, "this is Robin, Batman's protoje, this is M'gann Morrs or Miss Martian, this is Wally West or Kid Flash, and lastly, this is Conner Kent or Superboy." Each member of the team gave a wave at the mention of their name except for Superboy who just nodded.
A door opens, the clang of metal on the ground can be heard, and everyone looked over to the android with a kind face for each of them (Batman didn't glare) all except for Gohan, who rushed Red Tornado and pinned him against the wall.
"Before you do any harm tell me, where is Gero."
This is harder than I thought, I feel as though i'm better at fights in the stories I wrote for fun, still Chapter 4 is finished.
I only got one review from Great Saiyaman54 and no Batman wont teach Gohan ki directly, Gohan still has that knowledge but has to train to grow in strength.
Batman will however help with the non physical side of his training (meditation and control) and training in martial arts showing him his own style of fighting. I have to still decide on if Batman learns from Gohan how to use Ki.
I expect to get more chapters out over the summer due to test being over.
Until next time.
