I own nothing except my ideas.

Apologies for the writer's block. I'm back with two more installments in the History of Heroes. A lot of people have been asking about Gohan's arm, I've had a plan for that all along. I can't reveal the plot, but there is a solution coming soon.

Chapter 9

Gohan's First Day

It was a very sunny day, Gohan had flown into Metropolis to start spending some of the money that Batman gave him, he went straight to a 4-Star Sushi Buffet. He opened the door and the aroma of rice, vegetables, seafood and Sake filled the air. Gohan was amazed at how much the Japanese style of this world meshed with his culture back at home. He sat next to the window, enjoying to people watch in this large, diverse city. Happily, Gohan went to the buffet line and quickly filled his plate to the the point of overflow, earning several shocked looks from the other customers.

After five plates full to the brim of food, Gohan was heading back for his sixth as he was met with a hand on his chest, preventing him from walking. The hand belonged to a familiar person, a tall and very athletic, exotic looking, gorgeous Amazonian woman. She wore her black hair in a ponytail, with a red blouse and form fitting blue jeans.

"Hey Diana, I'm just going to get more food. Wanna join me?" Diana did not greet Gohan with a smile, instead it was a stern look of concern as she spoke to him. "What's wrong?" Gohan asked.

She spoke calmly but intensely to the Saiyan, "Don't you have the ability to sense energies?"

"Yeah, I absolutely can."

"Then how did I surprise you?You're letting this gluttonous obsession with food dull your focus. That can be deadly Gohan."

"Am I? I sensed you as soon as you landed on Earth, I know that you teleported because your energy wasn't moving, it just appeared. I know that you've been in Metropolis for 1 hour already and you've been sitting still. So either at a restaurant or a massage parlor, but I've been aware of your presence the entire time."

"You've got to teach me that," she said pulling on the collar of his T shirt. "Let's go, today's gonna be a long day."

"But, one more bowl," Gohan whined.

"No! You can eat later." She reiterated as she dragged him out of the restaurant.

Gohan whispered to himself "I can eat later? You don't know saiyans at all." He pouted as Diana pressed a button on her bracelet which produced a white light and in the next instant, the two were gone from the streets of Metropolis.

Gohan and Diana reappeared a second later, in a large room with metallic pillars and a very high metal ceiling. Gohan immediately sensed that the energies of the humans on Earth were now distant, he looked out the large bay window which revealed a beautiful view of the spherical object known as Earth.

"Where are we?" he asked quizzically.

"Welcome to the Watchtower, everyone is waiting for your arrival." The Martian Manhunter said as he stepped off the teleportation platform and greeted Gohan. Gohan continued to observe his surroundings, it was a warrior trait he picked up from Piccolo and his father. He looked around to see a large computer screen, the screen showed several images of places that all looked different. They must be cameras of different Earth cities, he figured, hence the name: The Watchtower. "The rest of the team is waiting for you in the common area," Diana said. The two heroes led Gohan through a long hallway, he was intrigued at how well the gravity of the tower matched the gravity on the Earth even though they were in space.

They reached the end of the hallway, where the remainder of the Leaguers were assembled. Gohan entered the room and saw a table with black cloth holding a smorgasbord of food from all over Earth. Gohan's jaw dropped as he saw sushi, chicken, steak, pork and many other foods he hadn't seen before but all looked delicious. His mouth was watering as everyone shouted "Welcome Gohan!" He was greeted by a plethora of superheroes, many who he had met and others he hadn't. "This is your official welcome to the League," Batman stated. He saw the saiyan's face and smiled, "We eat after, we take care of business."

"Aww, what do we have to do?" Diana chuckled, Gohan was becoming accustomed to whining about food. "First, we have register your fingerprints in the system. Then, Flash and Oliver will give you a tour and show you where you'll live. Unless you want to continue to camp. Then we'll induct you. Lastly, you can eat."

"Ok come on before that feast gets cold." Batman took out a black metal pad and asked Gohan to place his hand on it, he did and a repetitive beeping sound registered Gohan's fingerprints. "Now you have access to League technology, you'll also need this to get into your bedroom. Here's your Comm Device." Gohan removed the black Justice League business card from his pocket, "isn't this my communicator?"

"That's for communication only, this device serves as a phone, a gps, a system to display your mission objectives and identify teammates and your transportation back to the Watchtower. It also links to your bank card, simply put this device should go with you everywhere. You can place the microchip inside something, like wonder woman has done with her bracelets."

"Alright, come with us dude. We'll show you around, back in a flash," the Flash grabbed Gohan's shoulder as he and Ollie started to walk away.

The three men walked through the Tower, "So what are we going to call you?" Ollie asked.

"Gohan, you know my name already," he was really confused by the question.

"No man, your superhero name. You need a kick ass name to go with some kick ass skills. I'm the Flash as you know and Ollie is Green Arrow. I mean, his name kind of sucks but so do his skills."

"Fuck you Barry!" Ollie exclaimed.

"Dude, you're an ARCHER! I'll call you next time I need to battle Darkseid in the olympics."

"You fight Darkseid?? That's a joke."

"You're right, like archery."

"Back to you man, you're an alien right? A saiyan? We could call you the Saiyan."

Gohan replied, "no I don't really like that. How about Saiyaman?" Ollie and Barry looked at each other, "It's gotta be something that strikes fear. How about the Untouchable Saiyaman?"

"Or the Fearless Saiyaman? The Incredible Saiyaman?"

"No, the Incomparable Saiyaman?" They both chuckled, Gohan thought. "I've got it!! The Great Saiyaman!!"

Ahhhhhaaaaa haha "stop! Stop!!"

"Ollie, look at him! He's serious." Ahhhh hahaha Both Ollie and Barry were on the floor now, they had tears of laughter streaming from their faces, "Hell no, we are NOT gonna call you that."

"That's a really stupid name. I can't wait to tell Diana you said that. We're here now let's stop."

Gohan looked down and saw the first floor of the watchtower, "How did we get upstairs?"

Ollie informed him "the watchtower is formatted differently than any other building on Earth. The building is sideways, so we're not really upstairs. We're on the next level, because the walkways are diagonal."

"This is your room, place your palm to the pad to open it."

Gohan stretched out his hand and placed it on the pad to the left of the door.

IDENTITY CONFIRMED:Gohan

The electronic voice beeped and the door clicked open. Gohan stepped inside his new home. The room was spacious, about 20 feet wide and long, it had a large window that provided a breathtaking view of the planet Earth and the moon. The bed was king sized, there was basic linen on the bed for something to sleep on until Gohan decorated. There was also large wooden dressers and a walk in closet for his clothes. "You don't have to live here, my wife and I live on Earth. So does Barry here. But it's always a place to stay if you need it." Gohan looked on the bed and saw capsules, he picked them up and saw they were his. "That's all your stuff from the campsite, Bats put them in the capsules for you."

They left Gohan's room and headed back towards the front of the Watchtower. "This is the gym. Where Ollie benchpresses arrows."

"How would you know? You never come in here."

"Don't need to man, still fast."

Gohan was massively underwhelmed by the gym in front of him. It was a very large room, complete with an athletic activities court for sports, a track that encircled the room and a weight room section. He noticed that the largest free weights around were 5,000 lbs, "Where does Superman work out? These weights aren't heavy enough."

"Superman doesn't work out, I can count the number of times that he's been in here on on hand. Batman, on the other hand, he basically lives there." Flash said pointing to a section of the room that was clearly devoted to martial arts and boxing training, the area had a padded floor, a boxing ring, punching bags, jump ropes and everything else a combat master would need to improve their skills. He was nonetheless disappointed by Superman's lack of devotion to getting better, he was complacent with his position as the strongest, Gohan would challenge that.

Next to the gym was the simulation room. "You can practice your skills here," Ollie said showing Gohan the console inside the room. "You can adjust how many enemies, how strong, where, what the mission objective is. It's a great place to get better."

Next, the kitchen. "For guys like you and..." flash had already ran through the kitchen and grabbed an armful of food. "And me, this is the most important room. It's always fully stocked, cooked food and things you can make."

"Batman believes we're way to busy to worry about food, so there's always food in here."

"Well in that case, I'm gonna grab something too. Ow! What was that for?" Flash knocked the sandwich out of Gohan's hand, "you can eat when everything is over."

"Well that completes the trip really." Flash said as they rounded the corner to rejoin the other members.

"Next, your induction ceremony. This is a tradition that goes back to the second group of Justice League members." Superman stated, "We ask that you make and honor the commitment to protecting the planet Earth. But you can't get inducted wearing that, you need your-"

"Hold on Supes, I got this." Flash interrupted him, "This commitment lasts for your life, so you got to wear the same thing as when your life started." Gohan was so confused by this group of people, but wanted to make a good impression, he removed his shirt. As he took his shirt off, the women of the League blushed bright red, especially Kara, Gohan revealed a chiseled God-like physique, accentuated by bulging biceps, pecs and a six pack so refined that his veins were visible. Gohan reached for his belt and was instantly stopped by shouting, "Dude!! I was just joking. No one wants to see that, well, maybe they do, "Flash said pointing to Zatanna and Kara who were having a very difficult time hiding their facial expressions.

"Enough!" Batman sternly stated and all the laughter at Gohan's blunder immediately seized. "We do ask that you take this commitment wearing your Justice League uniform."

"I don't have a Justice League uniform, the only thing I have is my Gi and the one Batman gave to me." Wonder Woman handed Gohan a Black box with the word "Gohan" on it, he opened The box and pulled out the contents. Inside the box was a dark blue Gi, made of the same material and design as the Bat Gi that he used in Gotham. It had a red belt, on the back adorned was the Go logo and on the front the JL logo, paired with black boots. "Thank you all, this is so great."

"A little bat, told us you'd like it. Go, quickly get changed and then we can finish." He went quickly into the hallway to change into his new costume and came back into the main room. Gohan stood there, a physical specimen in his blue Gi and boots, before the rest of the Justice League.

"We Welcome you to this fraternity, to this family. By becoming a member of the Justice League, you are taking a solemn oath to protect the people of Earth against all enemies." Superman was more the master of ceremonies type than the other heroes. "Say your full name,"

"Son Gohan"

"Repeat me"

"I will protect the Earth and her people from every adversary."

Gohan repeated

"I will uphold the laws of justice and hold myself to the highest moral code."

Gohan repeated

"I will give my life defending the innocent and the meek."

Gohan repeated.

"This I swear."

Gohan repeated, "Welcome to the Justice League."

Gohan was feeling happier than he had in a long time, the League had been nothing but amazing to him. He finally felt welcomed here on this Earth and with his people, he hoped Trunks had found the same thing with the Team.

As he stood looking out at the Earth, his thoughts were interrupted by the lovely Zatanna, this dark haired beauty had looks to kill. She wore a very form fitting skirt with fishnet stockings, dark purple high heels and a blouse that caressed every curve of her body, atop her head was a dark purple magician's hat. Gohan's heart started pounding as she approached, she was incredibly sexy, he tried not to stare as she got closer. "I remember the first time I saw it," she said.

"Excuse me?" Gohan replied.

"Earth, from space. There's nothing like it. When I first joined, I would warp up here just to look at it."

"From here it looks so peaceful," Gohan said.

"As if there are no wars, no crime, no poverty."

They both paused to gaze at the Earth, "another thing I learned when I first joined the League was to not listen to Flash." She giggled as she said, "I cannot believe you fell for that!"

"Hey don't blame me, you all are a weird group. How was I supposed to know?"

"We are not a weird group!"

"This is coming from the woman who is a magician and is talking to an alien from another dimension."

"Ok we kind of are. But I enjoyed Flash's joke."

"Yeah, I'm sure you enjoyed laughing at me."

"Well... not so much laughing, maybe more admiring" she said as she punched his arm."

"Admiring? Oh..."

"Yeah, you are mighty impressive sir." They both felt eyes staring at them and turned to see Kara looking at them, while conversing with Diana.

"She doesn't look happy," Gohan said, he had a slightly better sense of women than his father.

"Oh, I didn't know you two were together."

"We're not, but..."

"But you're attracted to her and she's attracted to you. So, I'm a grown woman and I like you too. The way I see it, we're all single."

Gohan was really getting uncomfortable here, all his mentors taught him how to be a great warrior but dealing with women, he had no clue. "Do you find me attractive?" she asked in an cruelly seductive voice,

"Yeah, I mean yes. I mean yes, you are beautiful."

"Then the way I see it, you aren't obligated to anyone. Kara is beautiful and we're good friends, but a woman knows what she wants." Her smile revealed all of her intentions and Gohan was instantly attracted to her bold personality. "Well, I'll leave you with your thoughts Gohan. Enjoy your party, you're the reason for everyone's celebration." She walked away, switching her hips sensing that Gohan was watching her walk away.

Kara started towards Gohan, he was hoping and praying for a way out of this girl drama. Ollie and Flash were on the other side of the room, damn no escape.

Suddenly, Batman got everyone's attention. "There's a situation in New Orleans, Gohan, Ollie you're coming with me."

"Aww come on Bats, let the new guy enjoy his party," Flash interjected. But Gohan could sense the seriousness on Batman's face, "it involves Trunks doesn't it?" Batman nodded, "Then why aren't we there yet?"
