"So, we all want to go? Now that is a little bit strange" Said, Oell back in her room with her hair up, wearing a black tank top and baggy green jeans, on her desk they could see a bottle of some kind of liquid.
"My parents have given me there blessing to go" Vabloe said, of course he was doing thing's proper. He was dressed in a blue and black jacket with jeans and said. "Can we hurry this chat up? Using the video chat isn't cheap for me"
"That's right...your from another Segment." Xana said, before asking. "How much are you using up pure hour?"
"We'll; I'm more interested in the sneak peeks into my girlfriend's bedroom," Cluth said, he wore a green t-shirt and Oell rolled her eyes.
"We'll, since we all want to go, I've already contacted this red arrow guy about my interest so I can factor in all of yours as well" Luther said, in a white shirt and grey colour pants, he was the most smartly dressed out of all of them, before he said. "GL...just how rich is your family? From the little I am seeing. Nobody decorates their room that nicely unless they have some serious cash on them."
GL found them all looking at his background with interest, he wore a black shirt and black pants and in his background was a small trophy case and a real walls, GL thought this was the least telling corner of his room.
But his carefulness still wasn't enough.
"...Rich, enough to get by" GL said, being as vague as possible.
"Uh, huh," Luther said, wondering if he should goggle GL last name and see what comes up.
"We'll let's see where this goes," Cluth said, before saying excitedly. "Here's hoping we finally get to see some cool people from another planet! Maybe, I'll meet another speedster from another planet!"
"Or it could be a joke and were put into danger." Oell said, bursting her boyfriend bubble. "And in that case, we'll teleport straight home"
"I'm at home so I can certainly do that" Luther said, before a bunch of thing's started hovering around him.
Man, what would life be like if he didn't have a superpower?
Suddenly they all heard from Vabloe screen.
"DINNER!" Said, a women voice.
"I better switch off to conserve energy and money," Vabloe said, it was night time for him here before logging out.
They didn't talk much in the day's after that, but they messaged each other back and forth to see the progress.
Apparently, 'Red Tornado' was having some 'helpers' come in and help him build the machine while Luther parents would look over his shoulder once or twice before shaking their heads and walking away.
A week later, Luther sent them all a strange message about how awkward it was to work with a person who shows no emotion and a man who never cracked a smile before he sent them all a device that was made to fit the wrist of the wearer.
For obvious reasons, Vabloe post was more expensive than everybody else's.
Now another week later, they were all getting the green light to teleport to someplace called 'The Watchtower' that was occupied by people called 'The Justice League'.
They all timed it well and pressed the button at the same time, so they teleported at the same time.
GL dressed in a white t-shirt, black jacket, ripped jeans and sneakers couldn't help but feel like he had just made a mistake.
His whole body dissolved into atoms and was blasted right into space and beyond.
Four other beams followed his lead.
Ch 10: Cross between two lives
All of them seemed to materialise and land harshly on top of each other.
"I think I'm going to throw up," Cluth said.
"I'll prefer if you don't," Luther said, being the unfortunate one to be underneath Cluth at the very bottom.
"Whose mouth is on the back of my neck!? It feels incredibly weird!" Oell said.
"Sorry, I think that's me," Said, GL and they all began to untangle from one another while slowly becoming aware of their surroundings.
"I am not looking forward to the trip home," Oell said, cranking her body and anything she could.
Finally, they all seem to take in the scene they found themselves in and were stunned to see about a dozen people in costume in the room, some were floating while others sat down.
The group of teenagers were in the middle of the room.
All of their eyes were wide and looked around with some kind of decree of shock.
The people in Costume were looking surprised to see them too.
They indeed weren't on their planet anymore.
Suddenly they all heard.
"We finally meet, at last, Luther Vinx."
They all looked up to see a red robot with a cape coming down.
"It's nice to finally meet you too...in the flesh" Luther said, before saying. "Or the machinery" before he said to his group of friends. "This is Red Tornado, the person who hacked my tech"
Suddenly they all heard an excited yell and they looked and stared at Cluth who was wearing his shades.
Cluth eyes had turned into stars as he said. "SUPERHEROS! I AM IN A ROOM FULL OF SUPERHERO'S! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE FANTASIED ABOUT THIS!?"
The heroes did not expect him to be such a big fan or what happened next.
"Easy boy," Oell said, "If you come on too strong, you'll ward them off and not in the cute, creepy sort of way"
"So...what I'm hearing is that you think I'm cute?" Cluth said, his smile getting wider.
Oell rolled her eyes but not in annoyance.
Both the Flash and Green Arrow looked shocked to see the interaction between the two of them; it was so different from the arguing none stop.
"You, two. Get a room" Luther said.
Both Oell and Cluth faces changed to purple, and the room was soon filled with Luther laughter, the superheroes were stunned to see how much his face lit up as he laughed.
Batman was especially surprised to see this.
"You don't mind us, asking" Vabloe said, in his usual polite tone and Aquaman was almost having a heart attack. "But where are we all going to stay? We've all agreed that the duration would only be a week"
Suddenly a man in a dark black costume came down.
"My name is Batman." Said, the man.
"So, it's Bruce Wayne," Luther said, much to everybody shock. "What? Your voice gave it away."
Every superhero blinked owlishly at him.
Bruce deliberately lowered his voice and made it more threatening and yet Luther could still hear through that?
What kind of ears did he have!
Batman coughed and said. "Based on your abilities, certain members of the Justice League have agreed to take you all in. Luther Vix, I'll be taking you in"
"Know it" Luther said, before he said. "You are rich, right?"
Batman chose to ignore that and said. "Vabloe Chrome, you will be going with Aquaman."
Just then a man in the shiniest orange shirt they had ever seen with golden arm braces and slick black pants, landed gracefully near them.
From the way the man stood and his presence, Vabloe got the feeling that he was a very great man and he could learn a lot from him.
"Cluth Micro." Batman said, and Cluth got excited. "You'll be going with the Flash"
Cluth sulked and said. "The Flash? What kind of lame name is that!?"
The man's face when he said that had everybody around the hero struggling to keep their sudden laughter in.
The man decided to ignore it and sped to Cluth who almost bent over from shock.
"Oell Swine, you will be going with Green arrow" Said, Batman.
The man in a green hood jumped down and said. "E-Er, hi" it must be awkward for the man knowing he would be mentoring his second sidekick again.
"If you are willing to go around dress like that, then I respect you," Oell said, walking to the man.
"Xana Zero, you will be going with Martian Manhunter" Said, Batman and then an identical version of him appeared beside him before transforming.
They stared at a green bald man with red eyes with no pupils wearing a blue cape over a red an 'x' body suit.
"Cool," Xana said, she could tell she would learn a lot from him.
"Nice to meet you, Mrs Zero" Said, the man.
"Wait," Cluth said, making them all look at him. "She gets the shapeshifting god, and I get the man with weird line's attached to his ears?"
Martian Manhunter couldn't help but smile at that while Flash frowned at the blow.
"And finally, GL Reder" Batman said, as GL stepped forward. "Ideally we would have put you with Superman but...we putting you with Black Canary."
Nobody expected GL to speak up and say. "What's wrong with 'Superman'?"
There was a long and uncomfortable silence after his statement.
Suddenly GL turned in a certain direction and stared directly at a certain corner of the room, the people who had the sharpness hearing heard something fly away.
It was very likely that Superman had been there and chose to run.
GL turned around and saw a busty blond woman in leather clothing appear.
He was more than a little bit surprised.
And Xana certainly was as well.
Black Canary was all woman.
"Hello, sweet thing," She said.
And Xana was right between both of them and said. "W-What if I and GL switched Mentors? I think that's a fair match up."
Silence.
Black Canary looked amused.
"So, she still likes him," Flash said, to Martian Manhunter.
"Each of your mentors are picked according to your powers," Batman said, his words were like an arrow to Xana head. "GL would need help with learning how to protect himself without relying on his powers."
Protect himself without his powers?
To Luther and the group, it was the funniest thing they had ever heard.
"In that case, I can't learn anything from her" GL said, as if it was a repeat of their first training session.
"Oh, really?" She said, "Are you willing to go right now?"
"Anytime. It doesn't matter if you're a female or not" GL said, going up to her and trying to look at her face and not down below;
"Bat's, this would only take a minute," She said before he came at her.
The moment he threw a first, she got quite a shock as she blocked.
She physically skids back until grounding to a halt.
But GL was there ready for her with a kick of his own; she blocked only for him to deliver another attack using his other leg.
Those in the Justice League looked shocked to not only see GL moves but the fact that Black Carney was visibly struggling against him.
"GL is the best fighter out of all of us" Luther explained. "He's got quite a long history with fighting tournaments and martial arts. There is no way she can take him."
And then something shocking happened.
Black Carney was finial beaten to her knees.
"See." GL said, "You can teach me nothing" before he turned and walked away.
"Lesson 1," She said, her feet was silent as she ran behind him. "Don't turn your back when the opponent can still fight" about to strike.
Suddenly GL head wiped around to meet at an unnatural angle to meet her, and his arm grabbed hers and threw her like a rag doll.
Black Carvey slammed against the concrete.
"See," GL said, as she came to. "You can teach me nothing" he stood before her as if he was god.
"That is the guy who keeps knocking me on my backside," Cluth said, knowing being proud to admit that.
The whole justice league was stunned as he walked away, she was one of their best fighters, and she was beaten like a child.
She had years of experience behind her and yet she lost to a person who was sixteen!?
They thought the differences wouldn't be that great, but they had been proven otherwise.
"Now, I've got at least three powers," GL said addressing the whole league. "What Superhero, here can teach me at least something?"
His statement was met with a long, unnatural silence as they all realised one thing.
Superboy weakness was that he was too inexperienced and his emotions got the better of him.
Now, what would happen if Superboy suddenly had that experience to beat down their best fighter without using his powers and could remain composed at all times?
He was young, so his powers would grow.
They weren't dealing with Superboy; they were dealing with GL.
They should think of him as a completely different person.
A different entity.
Which meant they had no idea what he was thinking or what his true nature was.
It would be the worst thing for the Justice League if some Villain managed to scoop him up promising to teach him things.
Somebody like he was too dangerous not to be watched over.
They had to have somebody here to deal with him if he ever went mad.
"There is somebody who can teach you." Batman said, much to GL own surprise. "Superman. I'll try my best to persuade him to do it."
Only Superman can teach this boy and be stong enough to take him.
And scene!
