Chapter 11: Restoration!

JLI Headquarters, London, England

"NERRRRRD!" Guy Gardner roared angrily as he stomped into the JLI's meeting room, dressed in green boxers and a black robe. The rest of the JLI were standing around in the room, dressed in whatever they were wearing last night. In actuality, most of them were asleep right at the table. Only Fire, Booster, Ice, Dr. Light, and Mary Marvel were awake. Ted Kord, the Blue Beetle, wearing a blue t-shirt and black shorts, was sitting at the table as well, his head right on the table. The slight noise of snoring came from him. Guy angrily grabbed the tired inventor. The others groaned. "Alright nerd, what's the big idea waking us all up at this stupid hour?" Beetle half-opened his eyes.

"Coffee?" Beetle mumbled.

"You lead this group, now what's going on?" Guy growled.

"Uh, Guy…" Fire started.

"Not now, Da Costa!" Guy snapped.

"Coffee?" Beetle mumbled.

"Why did you wake me up?" Guy started shaking Beetle. "I need my beauty sleep!"

"Coffee?"

"Guy, he…" Booster started.

"Shut up!" Guy snapped. "NERD! WHY DID YOU WAKE ME UP? DO YOU WANT ME TO HIT YOU?"

"Coffee?" Beetle mumbled.

"Oh-!" Dr. Light, clad in a black nightgown and robe, grumbled. She gave Guy a smack upside the head.

"OW!" Guy exclaimed.

"I see you're still cheerful, even at this hour in the morning." Booster Gold snickered, dressed in a white wifebeater and black sweatpants. He winced at the mean glare the Japanese scientist shot him. "Ugh…"

"Coffee?" Beetle mumbled.

"You baka!" Dr. Light snapped at Guy. "Beetle didn't wake us up!"

"Yes, Guy. Calm down." Ice walked into the meeting room, dressed in red plaid pajamas. She was as chipper as ever, and she was carrying a tray of cups. "I made coffee for everyone. Mary's in the kitchen, helping make breakfast. I'm sure that'll help all of you sleepyheads wake up." Luckily for the JLI, Ice was an early riser.

"Thank God for you, Ice." Booster snickered.

"Coffee?" Beetle face looked hopeful. The others started waking up.

"Hey, coffee!" Ralph grinned, taking one from Ice's tray with his stretching powers. "The breakfast drink of champion detectives everywhere."

"Grilled cheese…" Sue Dibny mumbled as she took her cup.

"Coffee…" Beetle smiled as he took his cup. "Yummy coffee."

"So who got us out of bed?" Guy grunted.

"One of us is missing." Dr. Light smirked. "It should be obvious."

"Well, well, well." Fire smirked at a waking and yawning Encantadora. "Look who's decided to join us." 'Dora groaned.

"Oh, mio Dio…" 'Dora muttered. "I'm not in the mood right now, Grasshead."

"GRASSHEAD?" Fire screeched angrily, leaping up from her chair.

"Can you two fight later?" Booster groaned. "I personally cannot believe I'm going to say this, but it's too early for a hot chick-fight." Fire sat down slowly, glaring at Encantadora, who glared back at the fire-wielder. Guy blinked at the blond.

"Who the hell are you and what the hell have you done with Carter?"

"Hey…" Rocket Red looked around. "Where is one with silver skin? Comrade Atom?"

"Yeah, where is the Military Man, anyway?" Booster blinked.

"Maybe he's out polishing himself." Guy joked.

"Perhaps he's not interested in joining us for breakfast. I do not blame him." Dr. Light nodded. "After all, he is made up of energy."

"Who wants pancakes?" Mary Marvel, in full costume, grinned happily as she walked in, carrying a tray of pancakes.

"Oh…my…God…" Ralph's jaw slacked. "Look at all the pancakey goodness!"

"I have never had these…pancakes before." Rocket Red blinked. Mary put a plate of pancakes in front of the Russian. He looked up at her. "Are these any good?"

"Pancakes? Oh, they are wonderful!" Mary grinned. "Especially with butter and maple syrup."

"Where in Russia do you hail from, Dmitri?" Ice wondered.

"I am from Ukraine." Rocket Red smiled.

"Atten-hut!" A voice commanded, causing the rest of the JLI to leap to their feet. Captain Atom walked into the room, carrying a clipboard.

"Oh, there he is." Rocket Red remarked.

"Glad to see you all are awake." Captain Atom noted. "Now, I have taken the liberty to do a schedule for today that will involve training, maintenance of the headquarters, and-"

"Awwwwwwwwww!" The rest of the JLI suddenly interrupted the nuclear-powered hero with a groan. Captain Atom grunted.

"Well, somebody has to do it. You know, this job is normally the responsibility of the leader…" Captain Atom glared at Beetle as he spoke.

"Too early to be the leader." Beetle mumbled.

"Besides, Captain…We have plans today." Dr. Light said to the silver-skinned hero.

"Yes." Ice nodded. "We're all going to help Guy out with fixing up his new bar."

"Heh." Guy smirked at Captain Atom. "Sorry, Cap. Looks like your plans are out today. Fixing up that new building and putting all the stuff in will take all day."

"Blue Beetle, I must remind you that Justice League International is a team of dedicated superheroes, not some social club." Captain Atom said to Blue Beetle. Beetle sighed.

"Hands up for helping Guy." Beetle surveyed. The only JLI member that did not raise their hand was Captain Atom.

Warriors, London

Several large boxes were standing in front of the red brick building that would house the new Warriors. The boxes contained Guy's collection of superhero memorabilia. Meanwhile, Justice League International were making repairs to the building, making it presentable, and moving furniture inside.

"Red!" Rocket Red snapped. The Ukrainian armor-wearer had painted half of the back wall of the outside of the building red.

"Brown!" Ralph snapped back. The stretchy detective had painted half the wall brown. The two were arguing over color.

"Red!"

"Brown!"

"Red!"

"Brown!"

"RED!"

"BROWN!" Sue Dibny, carrying a box, walked up to the two arguing heroes. The dark-haired woman shook her head, sighing. She put down her box, and conked their heads together.

"OW! HEY!" They exclaimed, clutching their heads. Meanwhile, inside, the gang was working. Guy was using his ring to move around benches and tables. Beetle and Booster were helping. Dr. Light was busy working with the light fixtures. Mary Marvel and Ice had found an area that could be used as a kitchen. They were busy loading it up.

"Hey, Guy…" Ice started.

"Yeah?" Guy grunted as he put a stool down with his ring.

"Remember how you said you wanted to have Warriors become a bar and grill?" Ice remembered.

"Warriors ain't no wussy restaurant, Ice." Guy grimaced.

"No, I mean like, burgers and all that?" Ice clarified. Guy mouthed an "Oh" in understanding.

"Yeah, so?" Guy grunted. "I couldn't afford to put in a kitchen."

"Well, Mary and I found an area that can be used as a kitchen." Ice explained. "You can use it to offer food here." Guy thought about it.

"Alright, but no salads." Guy approved.

"Guy…" Ice started in mock warning.

"Oh, alright. One." Guy muttered.

"Aww, thank you Guy. You're a sweetheart." Ice grinned, hugging Guy.

"Tora! Not in front of the guys!" Guy exclaimed.

"Aww, Guy Gardner is so adorable!" Beetle laughed, carrying a bar stool.

"Ah, go weave a cocoon, bug!" Guy snapped.

"Has anyone seen Fire and 'Dora?" Beetle remembered. "I'm worried about them. I don't think they'll work too well together." Booster gulped.

"Remember when Guy had those flyers made for Warriors?" Booster gulped. "Well…I…I…"

"You what, Booster?" Beetle narrowed his eyes.

"I…" Booster grinned helplessly and squeaked. "I had them go out and put them up around town."

"BOOSTER!" Beetle snapped. "You had better pray to God that they decided to stay away from each other!"

"I'm an atheist, Beetle!" Booster wailed. A crash was heard, and a screaming 'Dora flew through the door, landing on the ground butt-first.

"OW!" 'Dora exclaimed. She looked like she went through a bad fight.

"Damn!" Guy smirked.

"AAAAARGH!" Fire screeched. The green-haired fire-wielder ran in and jumped on the Hispanic woman. The two started screaming and catfighting. Beetle and Captain Atom separated the two. They swiped at each other, cursing in Portuguese and Spanish.

"Why'd you separate them?" Booster wailed.

"Let go!" Fire yelled, taking a swipe at 'Dora with her fist. "I'll kill her!"

"I'd like to see you try, you wench!" 'Dora snarled, taking her own swipe.

"What happened? What did you two do?" Beetle snapped.

"What do you think, Beetle?" Dr. Light answered as she put up a light fixture. "Those two cannot work together."

"Flyers?" Guy blinked.

"Yeah, the flyers we made for the bar." Ice nodded.

"Those things were for tomorrow night!" Guy exclaimed. "Aw, man!"

"Great, now we gotta work double-time to get this all done! Thanks a lot, Booster!" Beetle snapped.

"Uh…" Booster grinned innocently. "…oops?"

"Ah, don't worry about it!" Sue waved. "I'm sure we can get it all done." Beetle sighed.

"Alright." Beetle caved in. "Let's stop yakking and keep working. Fire, 'Dora, I want you two to stay away from each other today, alright?"

"I'm sorry, Teddy." Fire cooed. "It's not my fault that hag always wants a piece of me."

"Say that to my face, you tramp!" 'Dora snapped.

"I mean it!" Beetle snapped. "Fire, you go help Dr. Light with the light fixtures, and 'Dora, you go help Booster wash out the dishes."

That night

The JLI could not believe their luck. Not only had they managed to get the new Warriors fixed up, but they got themselves quite a lot of attention. Guy stood behind the bar and smiled. Customers were sitting at the tables, and the other members of the JLI were at the bar. Beetle and Sue had soda. Mary Marvel was drinking a glass of chocolate milk. Ice and Rocket Red had bottles of water. Captain Atom didn't have anything. Being made of energy has its perks. Fire had a martini, and 'Dora had a margurita.

"I am quite impressed with the results of our work." Dr. Light nodded in approval, sipping her sake.

"Yeah. And so are the customers." Beetle agreed, holding his soda.

"What can I say? No matter where it is, Warriors is a hot spot." Guy smirked.

"I must admit, we did alright." Captain Atom admitted. "I didn't plan to spend the day fixing a bar, but we didn't do a half-bad job."

"Yup!" Mary Marvel smiled widely.

"Despite Encantadora, we did a great job." Fire smiled sweetly at the Hispanic woman.

"Screw you, Beatriz." 'Dora answered equally sweetly.

"You cheated!" Booster snapped at Ralph Dibny, pointing at the dartboard.

"ME?" Ralph snapped back. "How can I cheat at darts? You're just mad because I'm better than you?"

"Oh, brother…" Sue sighed, holding her own soda. "Ralph, knock it off."

"Sorry, dear." Ralph apologized. He smirked at Booster. "You're right, Sue. I shouldn't be too hard on the amateur." Booster growled.

"Why I oughta-!" Booster prepared to punch Ralph, but a green barrier appeared before him.

"Hey!" Guy snapped. "You wanna fight? Then go outside and do it!"

CRASH!

The patrons and the JLI leapt up to their feet in shock. The front wall of the bar got blown wide open!

"AW HELL NAW!" Guy roared angrily, his power ring changing his clothes into his GL costume. "You got a lotta chutzpah to…YOU!" Guy recognized the figure walking in. The figure looked like an overly-muscled, very tall chalk-white-skinned man with solid red eyes surrounded by black mascara-like patches, wild mane-like black hair and a mustache. He was dressed in black biker gear and he carried a chain.

"The Main Man is back, ya fraggin' bastiches!" The figure, the Czarnian bounty hunter known as Lobo, crowed.
