DBM 7: A Date On The Town.
Gohan walked out of the bathroom with nothing, but a towel wrapped around his waist. 'Man a shower always feels better after training.' He walked to his room and opened the door. Before he could get into his room he heard his name being called. He looked around and saw Kitty walking his way.
"Hey Gohan. I just wanted to know...what...time..." She trailed off after seeing him wearing nothing, but a towel. 'Oh my god his body is perfect!' Her face went beet red when she realized her thoughts and that she was starring. She turned around too embarrassed to look at him
Gohan not noticing just cocked his head to the side in confusion. He looked down and saw he was still in only just his towel. He had a tinge a red flash across his cheeks. He materialized a gi that looked just like Piccolos without the weighted shoulder pads and turban. "Its okay to look now." Gohan said as Kitty turned around. They both avoided eye contact with each other with blushes on their faces.
"So you wanted to talk to me." Gohan said trying to get rid of the awkward tension in the air.
Kitty nodded. "Yeah I wanted to know what time you wanted to go out on our date?"
Gohans eyes widened as his jaw dropped. "Date!?" He yelled out surprised.
Kitty looked at him like he was crazy. "Yeah you asked me out on the town yesterday right? You said it was a date."
"I didn't mean it as an actual date. I was just using it as an analogy. I'm sorry if I confused you."
Kitty looked dejected and embarrassed. "No I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions." I mean we only just met. Why would you ask me out on a date."
Gohan turned his head as a blush crept on his face. " I wouldn't mind this being a date though. It will be my first date and I don't know what to do, but if you don't mind I would love for this to be date."
Kitty smiled. "I would love that Gohan, so what time would you like to leave?"
"How about now? Its a beautiful day outside to tour the city." Gohan said with a smile.
Kitty nodded. "Sure. I'm going to go change real quick."
"Why not keep on what you're wearing?"
Kitty giggled. "I would cause a little too much attention if I wore my Xmen uniform out in the town. You might want to change too if you don't want to stick out."
Gohan looked at his gi. "What should I change too? I don't know the normal style of clothing here."
"Stay here. I'll go grab a magazine from my room. You can make clothes just by looking at them right?"
Gohan nodded. "Yeah I can make it if I have the mental image in my head."
Kitty ran off to get her magazine. Gohan followed her and waited outside her door for her. She came out after a few seconds later with a magazine. "Okay Gohan just look through this book and pick any clothes you like. I'm gonna get changed." She ran inside her room leaving Gohan alone. He flipped through the pages of the magazine trying to figure out what kind of style of clothing he wanted. He finally found what he wanted and materialized the clothing.
Kitty came out a few minutes later wearing a white tee shirt and form fitting black jeans. She also had on white sneakers . "Hey Gohan are you ready?"
Gohan turned towards her. "Yeah I'm ready." He was wearing a black tank top and black cargo pants. He had a blue capsule corps jacket that came mid way down his body. His belt was gold along with his capsule corps boots. His pants were inside of his boots while the capsule corps insignia was on the left side of his jacket sleeve.
Kitty looked at what he was wearing and looked confused. "Was that in the magazine? It looks good, but I don't think I've seen that brand before."
Gohan chuckled. "The brand is from a company in my home town. I had a friend that use to dress like this. I kind of looked up too him for a little while. I thought he was cool. I still think he's cool. Do you still think I'll stand out?"
Kitty smiled as she shook her head. "No I think you look fine. Well lets head out. The city is big and I'm sure you want to see all of it."
Gohan nodded and left the mansion with Kitty. Kitty decided to take him to New York City and show him around. Gohan was amazed at how busy the city seemed to be.
"Wow this is amazing! The buildings are so big! It kind of looks like west city, but not as busy. Gohan said to himself."
Kitty looked at him in confusion. "West City? I never heard of that city. What state is it in?"
"Its kind of hard to explain. I'll tell you about it later. So where are we going first?"
"Well first I wanted to just show you the different buildings. After that we can catch a movie. Then we can get something to eat."
"Can we eat before the movie?"
Kitty giggled. "Yeah of course. We don't want you passing out from lack of food."
Gohan pouted. "I'm not that bad."
Kitty grabbed him by the hand and started leading him through the city making him blush at the contact. She showed him every important and popular building she could think of.
Gohan looked up amazed at one of the buildings. "Whoa whats that?"
Kitty looked up. "That's Stark Enterprises. I didn't realize we came this far down."
"You meant as in Tony Stark?"
Kitty nodded. "Yeah how did you know?"
Professor Xavier told me about him. I wanted to ask him to build something for me."
Kitty snorted. "Tough luck getting to him. He's kind of hard to reach."
Gohan shrugged his shoulders. "Well at least I know where to go to find him now. So can we go eat now?"
Kitty could only laugh. "Sure Gohan, but we're going to an all you can eat buffet. I'll be broke if I took you anywhere else."
Gohan looked a little dejected and that stopped Kitty's laughter instantly. "Did I say something wrong?"
Gohan shook his head. "No its not you. Its just...I was the one who asked you to show me around, but you're the one paying for everything."
"Is that all? Don't worry about it. I don't mind really."
"I swear I'm going to pay you back." 'I just have to figure out how to make money. My dad said he and Krillin made a lot of money as kids doing farm work and construction work. Maybe I should try that. It should be easy with my strength.'
Kitty smiled. "Sure Gohan. Now lets go."
They walked to a buffet for lunch. Everyone in the restaurant looked shocked at how much Gohan was eating. Not too long afterwards they left since Gohan was tired of all the stares.
Gohan sighed. "I even cut down since I didn't want to put this place out of business. I didn't even eat half as much as I usually do."
"Well even then its still more than the average person. Do people usually stare at you when you go out to eat."
Gohan nodded."That's why I never go out to restaurants. I only go when my aunt made me."
"I've never heard you talk about your family. What are they like?"
Gohans eyes glazed over. "Well she's not my real aunt I just see her that way. You see I live with my sensei. The only blood family I had was my my mom, my dad, and my grandfather. Five years ago my father was killed in battle. About six months afterwards my mom was killed when some villain attacked the earth. My grandfather died just a few days ago, so as of right now I have no blood family."
Kitty had tears pricking at the back of her eyes. "Gohan I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bring up such horrible memories."
Gohan smiled sadly. "Don't worry about it. I may not have any blood family left, but I still have family. My sensei was always like a father too me. He was the first friend I made. My fathers friends are also apart of my family. I've fought with them many times. We shared many hardships, but that only made us closer. I'm sure you would get along with them great. There's Bulma. She's a scientist. She makes alot of great inventions. Where I'm from her company is the biggest, and most profitable company in the world."
"Whats it called?"
"Capsule Corporation."
"How could I be the biggest company in the world if I never heard of it?" Kitty asked confused.
"Well like I said. Its the biggest company from the world I'm from." Gohan said hoping she caught the hint.
Kitty blinked. "Wait do you mean you're from a different world? You're an alien?"
Gohan chuckled. "In this case no. I'm from earth, but I'm from a different universe. Think of it as a parallel universe. Its still earth, but with a few differences."
Kitty was stunned. "So whats the differences? Other than your friend having the biggest company in the world."
Gohan put his hand to his chin in thought. "Well for one there is no different languages. We all speak the same common language. We don't have different presidents of nations, but we have kings. Its pretty much the same thing though. Our earth is a little more technologically advance. You guys don't even have hover cars or hover boards yet. I haven't even seen a capsule yet either. "
Kitty beamed in excitement. "You have hover cars and hover boards! That's so cool, but what are capsules?"
"Capsules are the size of a house key. You click the top of it and throw it and out comes whatever you stored inside of it. It can contain something as small as a pencil to something as big as house. So basically you could carry a house in your pocket." Gohan said while Kitty looked skeptical.
"Its hard to believe a house can fit inside of a small capsule the size of a key Gohan."
"Well you can always ask Logan or the Professor. They looked into my mind and saw all my memories. They can tell you what I'm saying is the truth."
Kitty nodded as she stopped in front of the movie theater. "Hey we finally made it." They walked up to see what movies were playing.
"I'll let you pick the movie." Gohan said while scratching the back of his head. "I didn't watch many movies back home, so I wouldn't know what to choose anyway."
Kitty searched throught the different movies until she came across the one she thought he would enjoy. "Lets watch Hercules."
Gohan nodded and went into the movie theatre after she paid.
Approximately 2 hours later Gohan and Kitty were walking out of the theater. "Well what did you think of it Gohan?"
Gohan smiled. "I liked it. It showed that Hercules couldn't do everything himself. He relied and trusted his friends to help him. The action was pretty good too."
Kitty smiled. "Well I'm glad you liked it." They continued walking the city. While walking Gohan accidentally bumped into someone and knocked them over.
"Hey watch it!" The person yelled.
Gohan offered his hand to the stranger. "Sorry about that. I guess I should watch where I'm going a little more carefully."
The boy took his hand and stood up. "Don't worry about it man. Thanks for helping me up. Most people would've just walked away."
Gohan cocked his head to the side. "Hey your voice sounds familiar. "
The boy looked at him and his eyes widened when he recognized him. He turned his head. "Well this is my first time meeting you. I wish I could talk a little longer, but I gotta go. " He was about to walk off, but Gohan stood in his way.
Gohan sensed his energy and was surprised. "Hey I know you! You're spid..." Gohan was cut off when a hand covered his mouth.
"Are you trying to give my secret identity away!" The boy whispered frantically.
Gohan scratched his head. "Oh sorry about that. I forgot you guys like keeping your identity a secret."
"Yeah can we continue this conversation elsewhere."
Gohan nodded. "How about here?" Kitty said as she pointed to the empty park.
They all walked over and sat down on the bench.
"Well I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Peter Parker. So how did you know who I was Gohan?"
Kitty looked on confused. "What do you mean? Whats going on?"
Gohan looked at Peter. "Do you want her to know?"
Peter looked skeptical. "To be honest not really."
Gohan nodded. "Hey Kitty do you think you can give us a few minutes alone please."
Kitty narrowed her eyes, but consented anyway. "Sure. I'll be over here if you need me and try not to take too long. We still have to finish our date."
Gohan smiled. "Thanks Kitty." Gohan said as she walked away.
Peter turned to him with a stunned expression. "You're on a date with her! You've only been here a few days! How did you get a date with a hottie like her?"
Gohan slightly blushed. "I met her at the Xavier institute. She's a really special person."
"Wait she's a mutant?" Peter asked receiving a nod from Gohan. "Cool. Anyway how did you know I was spiderman. It couldn't have just been my voice."
"Well I know how to sense the life energy of people. Everyone has a different unique life energy. You can't change it either. The only thing you can do is mask it and even that takes a while to learn." Gohan explained.
"So you're saying you would be able to find any of us even if we wore disguises."
Gohan nodded. "Yeah. You can fool my eyes, but not my senses. Not to mention your energy is stronger than a normal persons since you have super powers."
Peter nodded. "That power probably comes in handy often. That's actually pretty cool. Can I ask you one favor though?"
"Sure what is it?"
"Can you keep my identity a secret. There is a reason I wear a disguise."
Gohan nodded. "Sure as long as you can help me with something."
"Whats that?"
"I need to meet Tony Stark. Do you think you would be able to help me with that?"
"Why do you need to meet him?"
"I need him to build something for me. Its to help with my training."
Peter nodded. "I can try. There is no guarantee though."
Gohan smiled. "That's better than a no. Well I guess I should get out of here."
Peter smirked. "Yeah you don't want to keep your date waiting."
Gohan blushed and looked the other way. "Yeah Yeah. I guess I'll see you later."
Peter held out his hand for Gohan to shake. "Yeah. Good seeing you again."
Gohan shook it. "Like wise."
"If you ever want to hang out just find me. I'm sure you can sense my energy." Peter turned and started walking away.
Kitty started walking towards Gohan. "So did you guys have a good talk?"
Gohan nodded. "Yeah. So whats next to do?"
Kitty put her finger to her chin in thought. "There's a few more places I want to show you before we head home. Lets go."
A few hours later Gohan and Kitty were walking into Xavier institution. "Thanks for the fun night Gohan. I really enjoyed myself."
Gohan smiled. "I should be the one thanking you. I really had a great time. I even got to talk about my family with you. I haven't really talked about them in a long time. I just feel ...comfortable around you."
"Well I'm glad you feel that way. I feel comfortable around you as well." She leaned forward and kissed Gohan on the cheek. "Good night Gohan!" She said quickly as she turned around and walked away.
Gohan put a hand to his cheek where Kitty kissed him. He stood there for what felt like hours even though it was only a few minutes. He started walking to his own room with a huge smile on his face. He laid on his bed and sighed contently. 'I thought my life was a curse. I always had to fight for my life. I never had a childhood and I was forced to study all the time. I lost a lot of people who were close to me, but now I'm gaining friends my age. There's a girl who cares for me and for the first time in a long time I'm happier than I've ever been. I guess this life isn't so bad after all.'
