~Chapter 7; Boma~
As Goku walked into the living room, everyone was having a slice of pizza, each having different toppings. Goku had a big smirk on his face and Gota and Jito noticed.
"Starfire…"
Upon entering the room, Goku called out to Starfire, who was still eating and chatting with Gota.
"Yes?"
"Are you familiar of the Gordanians?"
"Yes…I am…" Starfire's face emitted an uncomfortable emotion to the name.
"We helped to defeat them." Robin stated proudly.
"That may be…"
'I see where this going…' Jito thought.
Gota and Jito stared at their superior, waiting for an explanation. Suddenly, Goku's arm device started beeping. He poked at it and then headed toward the entrance of the Tower and opened the door.
"Come inside." Goku said.
"We should speak in private."
"Even when a Tamaranian is present inside?"
"Is there?"
With her interest peeked, a woman with shoulder-length, blue-green hair and blue eyes walked into the room. She wore a white shirt under a jean-jacket with the Capsule Corporation logo on the right sleeve, black pants and navy blue boots.
"M-Mother…" Jito spoke.
The Titans looked from Jito to the woman, now seeing the small identical features.
"Titans…This is Boma. She is the head of a very famous and powerful company named Capsule Corporation and is Jito's mother." Goku introduced.
Boma tucked some of her hair behind her ear and bowed. Then, she looked around and immediately spotted Starfire, locking eyes with her. Boma walked up to her.
"The Gordanians are back." She bluntly stated.
"It cannot be!" Starfire said, not believing in her. "They have been—"
"Annihilated? Yes. But it seems some survived. They are teaming up with our enemies. You are Starfire, the Tamaranian princess, aren't you?"
"Yes, I am but—"
"Would you please escort us to your planet?"
Everyone seemed taken aback by the question.
"Boma."
Goku called for her attention, knowing where this was going.
"I would like to speak with your king. I would like to form an alliance with your race."
"Hey."
Goku slightly rose his voice and walked toward Boma.
"Aren't you being a bit unreasonable?"
"No." Boma stared directly into Goku's eyes. "I'm not."
"Boma!" Goku grabbed her arm when she turned to speak with Starfire again. "Stop and think for a second…How did we find earth?"
"With your haste."
"Ok…" Goku held back a blush from his embarrassment. "But if we found this planet, I'm sure we can find Tamaran with just about the same amount of ease."
"This is why I would of liked to talk about this in private." Boma sighed. "Very well."
"Wait," Starfire called when Goku and Boma started toward the tower's exit. "This war of yours—"
"Don't worry." Goku interrupted her and smiled. "They are few in numbers. They're difficult only because of their new armor and weapons. We'll find Tamaran ourselves and request assistance. You just stay here and keep looking beautiful." he winked.
Starfire blushed a deep red with hearts as her eyes, as Robin flashed a jealous glare at Goku from behind Starfire.
"Brother." Gota piped up and caught his attention. "Be careful."
Goku walked up to her and kissed her forehead.
"Stay safe and rest." Goku replied.
"I'll come with you." Jito stepped up.
"No." Goku firmly replied. "You stay here and protect Gota. She still needs to rest thanks to Jeta."
"Yes, sir." Jito said wanting to join him.
"Alright, see you guys later." Goku waved.
Goku and Boma walked out of Titans Tower shoulder to shoulder, seemingly about to start a conversation.
"Do you guys have a gym?" Jito suddenly turned to the Titans. "I'd like to train."
"Sure." Robin stepped up. "I'll show you."
"Can I come, Jito?" Gota piped up.
"As long as you don't do any training."
Gota stared at Jito for a moment.
'I never thought I would ever hear that from Jito.'
'Stop goofing off, Gota! We have to get stronger!' she remembered some of the sayings he would always say about the matter.
"Come on." Jito called her.
"Yes." She jogged to catch up with him.
Upon walking into the weight-lifting room, Jito studied his surroundings. He then spotted Cyborg's weights and smiled.
'This might do.' he thought.
He got a closer look at the arm-lifting weights, looked around and turned to Robin.
"Do you have anymore weights for this?"
"'More weights'…?" Robin repeated.
If Robin wasn't mistaken, with the current plates on it, he was sure that the whole thing should weigh more than one hundred pounds…Jito's muscular structure didn't look as though he could lift that much. Suddenly, Jito lifted it with one hand as though it were nothing.
"More weights." he bluntly repeated.
Robin stared at him with a surprised expression and showed him where the rest of the weights were. After putting more weights and one hundred lifts, he turned to Gota.
"Do you have your weighted clothing on?"
"No, why? Do you want me to train with you?!" she asked happily.
"No."
She pouted at his response. Watching him train made her miss doing it with him.
"I know you're taking it easy, but just put it on." Jito requested.
"Ok." she replied.
Gota left and exited Titans Tower. Outside, Gota's weighted clothing rested in her pod. She took it, put it over the clothes she wore and returned to the tower. Passing the living room, she spotted a white towel that Jito used before. She decided to take it to give to him and returned to the weight-lifting room where Jito waited for her. He sat on the seat of the arm-lifter that he was using before she left.
"I got you a towel." Gota held it out to him.
"Thanks." Jito gently took it and wiped off some sweat from his face.
Gota waited for Jito's explanation, staring at him.
"I want you to lay on my back." Jito said.
He then got down and readied himself for push-ups.
"Okay!"
Gota smiled and laid on his back, then he started. Gota closed her eyes.
'His back is so warm…' she smiled, contently.
Jito counted one hundred push-ups, then realized that Gota was incredibly still.
"Gota?" he called.
No answer.
"No way. She fell asleep." he carefully pulled himself up, carrying her on his back. "This is the second time…"
He walked out to the living room and carefully lay her on the couch, took off her weighted clothing and lay the clothing on the floor next to her. Everyone else seemed to be in their rooms as it was getting late, so Jito decided to give himself a tour of the tower. Going down to what seemed to be a garage, he spotted a white and light blue car.
"Wow…" Jito spoke to himself. "Nice ride."
He walked around it, studying it. He stopped in front of it and put a hand on the hood.
"Handmade." he stated to himself.
These designs look familiar…He had a feeling whose car it is, but in order to find out, he was going to have to wait until tomorrow.
"I think I'll follow Gota's example and go to sleep."
I hope you enjoyed! I'm having fun writing these chapters :3 I think I'm going to follow Jito's example and sleep too!
Please R&R! Until next time everyone! :D
