Note: This chapter (as well as the previous one) contains spoilers from In-Between The Verses, so it's highly recommended that you read that story before continuing.
It was nighttime when everyone is fast asleep, currently dreaming whatever fantasies they may be having. Which, for some people, may vary… however, there was one person in the city who wasn't asleep… it was a woman who was currently sitting on a cloud, watching over the city.
"Poor unfortunate souls… just sleeping there…" She then got up and waved her hands, conjuring a mist.
"Though this spell, I cast at thee, change the minds selected by me… for the hero The Toon, every teenage girl will fall, and into animals will the boys change all…" The midst spread itself across the city, seeping into everyone's houses, including those of the Super Hero Girls. She gave out a laugh, knowing that when all the teenagers awaken, they will act differently than normal…
The next day…
It was around 9:00 A.M. when Jordan woke up. It was sunny today, with only a few clouds covering the sky.
"I think today is going to be a good day." He went to Diana's room to say 'Hi'.
"Good morning, Diana."
"Good morning, Jordan. Nice weather outside, is it not?"
"Yup! So I was about to eat breakfast, do you want anything?"
"Hmm… no, thank you. Just oatmeal for me please." Jordan decided to have cereal and an orange instead. When they finished, the two heard a doorbell.
"I'll get it!" Jordan went to the door, opened it, and was greeted by none other than… Leslie Willis. "Oh, hello, Leslie."
"Sup, James."
"Look, I hate you and you hate me, but I'm going to be nice and ask why are you here?"
"Why am I here? Because lately there's something about you…" She walked in slowly with a smirk on her face.
"What is this, some kind of prank?" Jordan backed away slowly, unsure of what is happening.
"Why would anyone want to prank such a handsome boy like you?" And THAT is when Jordan went into nervous mode.
"Okay, look. As I have said before, we don't like each other."
"Aw, who cares about what happened back then? Let's focus on now."
"Diana?" The Amazon walked in to see Jordan, sweating nervously, as Leslie loomed over him.
"Hey, get off of him!"
"Well, if it isn't Diana Prince? Came to save your boyfriend?"
"OKAY, now is the time for you to go!" They both shoved her out the door and once she was out, they immediately closed the door, letting out a sigh.
"What just happened?"
"I don't know. She just… just… man, I need a walk. Okay, I'm gonna go for a walk and try to register what just happened."
"Okay. And do not worry. If any other girl tries to advance on you like how Leslie did, just give me a ring!"
"'Call.'"
"Yes. That."
Jordan walked out the door to his home and began to walk to Metropolis. As he walked, he kept getting stares from all the teenage girls in his neighborhood, which was more than a little unnerving for him. The weirdest thing about what happened was that all of the girls, including Leslie, had hearts in their eyes. He thought only he can do that type of stuff, but then again, anyone is capable of having swirly eyes when knocked out or hypnotized so…
He was in the city now and the exact same thing in his neighborhood was occurring and he couldn't figure out why. He decided to head to Sweet Justice to go to the lair and try and see if he can figure out what's happening. As he walked in, he was so confused about the state of every girl that he failed to notice something off about Barry. He activated the entrance and slid down, finding a girl already in there: it was Kara, currently bench-pressing. Hopefully, she can help provide some light on what's happening. However, when he greeted her…
"Hey, Jordan…" She got off the bench-press and stood up, exhibiting the same heart-shaped eyes as the other girls. "You came to enjoy the show?" This really got Jordan flustered and worried, because she never really acted this way at all, for anyone.
"Oh uh, no." She leaned in closer, invading his personal space. "Okay, I just remembered I had to go… do a… thing." He made a dash, leaving a cloud of himself which scattered, revealing his absence.
"Man, what is it with these girls today?" He walked out of Sweet Justice to see the rest of the team, exhibiting the same eyes and grinning, standing before him.
"Helloooo, Jordan~!"
"Oh boy." He then checked his watch. "Oh look at the time-" He quickly took to the sky on his jetpack as the Toon, currently confused about what's going on. Right now, he's currently being eyed at every teenage girl in the city and that includes his friends, and he's unsure of how to handle the situation. He got snapped out of his thoughts seeing the other Girls in hero form take flight. Well, except for Batgirl and Tatsu but the former can still keep up with him thanks to her gadgets while the latter was a trained martial artist.
He then flew to the nearest alley he can find, pursued by the other girls. Once they reached the alleyway, they saw that he was gone and flew away, back to their homes. Jordan, back in his normal form, did a sigh of relief as he got up from the edge of the roof and did a turnaround. Unfortunately, that was then he realized what building he was specifically on. It was the Zatara residence, aka one of the tallest buildings in the city. And to make things worse for him, it had a pool on top. Jordan sweatdropped as he tried to make his escape, realizing that his weakness could appear before him, but it was too late. Zee appeared before him, currently dressed in a bikini, one of his weaknesses when it comes to women.
"Aw, what's the matter Jordan? You've never seen a girl in a bikini before?"
"Um, I have," said Jordan, currently nervous at the highest degree, "but you're making me really, really nervous. And plus, you have a boyfriend!"
"True, but I never really got the chance to notice how similar you are to Porker, especially as the Toon…" He knew that she can use her magic at any time, and trying to say he's not that interested probably won't end well, so he had to think of a diversion to escape…
"Hey, watch out! It's a gremlin!"
"Huh, where?!" Zee quickly turned, remembering what happened at the Pier. However, there were no gremlins and when Zee turned back around, he was gone. "You can't hide from me forever!"
After that embarrassing moment that Jordan didn't want to speak of, the Toon tried to fly back home and talk to Diana about this because he was actually scared as he was still a teenage boy.
"So every girl in the city was currently acting around you similar to how I act around Steve?"
"Yeah! First Leslie came by, and as I walked, I noticed the majority of teenage girls giving me the look, and then the rest of the Super Hero Girls acted the same way around me, which led to an… embarrassing incident on Zee's rooftop.
"But does Zee not have a pool or…?" Diana stopped once he saw Jordan blushing even harder. "Well do not worry. I will help you through this-" She stopped when they heard ANOTHER doorbell. Remembering what's happening, he slowly went towards the door, slowly opened it, and was met with a tackle.
"How are you attracting all this attention?!" Jordan couldn't see who tackled him due to a cloud formed. When it settled, it revealed that the tackler was none other than Carol Ferris, who didn't have the heart eyes that the majority of other girls have.
"Wait a minute. You're eyes… they're fine!"
"Nice try, but my heart belongs to my Hal Jordan…!" She sighed at the thought of him, which reassured Jordan and Diana that she was fine.
"Okay, good. She's not crazy for me. Wait a minute… why are you here?"
"Well, my friends can't stop shutting up about you for some reason. They were all like, 'Oh, Jordan's so dreamy!' 'Why is Jordan the most handsome thing alive?' Personally, I don't see the appeal."
"Excuse me, Carol but what exactly do you mean by that?"
"Well, he's a nerd. He watches kiddie shows, loves girly shows, and is in general, childish." Jordan's spirits dampened as Diana became mad by her comment.
"Let me make this clear. Jordan may love what he loves, but that is because it is genuine! And he did not move to another country to be insulted by people like you!" Jordan blushed at her defending him as Carol stood genuinely shocked by what she said.
"Oh. Jordan, I'm so sorry, I-"
"No, it's fine. You didn't know…" He quickly brushed it off, hoping that they can find out what's happening. The doorbell rang again. "Third time this episode!"
Carol went to the door, opening it. She was taken by an unseen force, prompting the other two people in the household to worry.
"C-Carol?" Jordan got back up and looked out the door. "Okay, we gotta get out there! We have to see why this is happening!" The two changed into their Hero forms, flying out on Jordan's jetpack.
The duo was in the currently-pink air, currently trying to seek out what's happening.
"Do you see anything Wonder Woman?"
"No, not yet…" Then, the Toon felt something on his leg, prompting him to worry.
"Uh, Wonder Woman? What's got my leg?" It was a vine, and she knew exactly who it belonged to.
"It's the villainesses!" She cut the vine with her sword, making them fly away fast. The villainesses, including a rather large salamander, pursued them as the duo hid in an alleyway, just like last time.
"Okay, I have a theory on what may be happening-" But the two can't catch a break can't they? Turns out that particular alleyway had animals in it. But they looked almost similar to some friends of theirs. Among the animals included a raccoon, a cheetah, a chipmunk, a hawk, a fish, and a fox, all casting a more humanoid appearance in relation to some people that they knew.
"Wait… are they…?"
"The Invincibros?" They were also accompanied by Agent S, who was also in a love trance.
"That's right! We're all here to see you…" Though she was admittedly more aggressive-sounding than usual, coupled by her and the other animals unleashing some kind of unearthly howl.
"This may end well for us…" All of the other superpowered girls and more animals corned the two from every possible angle. They had no choice but to surrender, which was accompanied by their hands in the air.
Later…
The two were tied up in Agent S' rope and carried to the sky by the hawk, high above the city. They were then placed on top of one of the clouds, standing before the perpetrator of the whole thing.
"Circe…"
"Wow, Diana! Surprised you even remember me!"
"I'm sorry… who?"
"Oh, right. This mortal's never been to Themyscira huh?"
"The Toon, this is Circe, an enchantress that was banished from our island hundreds of years ago…"
"Banished to the island of Sorca where I was imprisoned for years. I was able to escape though and track down the one Amazon that decided not to stay on her home island… you! Because it's best to go for the ones that stray."
"Well, you won't get away with this! We will reverse this curse you placed on our friends!"
"Oh, well, see your friends? I don't think they would like that…" Their friends loomed over them as the Toon gained an idea. Summoning a smoke bomb, he dashed away with Wonder Woman, flying through the skies.
"Hey, Wonder Woman! Do you still have that device?"
"Yes, I do." He was referring to a watch that was currently on her wrist. "Set it to Jordan A.'s world! We need to find out how to beat her by any means necessary!" She found the location of his world, sending a beam that opened a portal, sucking them in and leaving the others confused.
Meanwhile, in the Super Mario dimension…
Jordan A. and Rosalina were currently finishing getting clothed. It was almost time for the Olympics and the two wanted to be prepared. Jordan A. is going for red-and-black striped sweats and a black t-shirt while Rosalina is going for a light blue sports bra and sweats, similar to her color palette. Just as they were about to head down to the Mushroom Kingdom, they saw a portal open up next to the Garden Dome. And they were surprised to see who came out.
"Jordan D.? Diana?"
"Hey, guys…" They hugged them, happy to see them again.
"Wow, it's so good to see you again!"
"You too!"
"So what's up?"
"Oh, well it is urgent. In your comical books by DC, is there someone named Circe?"
"Hmm… hey, Rosalina? Can you teleport us to the Tech Room?"
"Of course!" With a wave of her wand, everyone was there and fixated on the one computer that Jordan had in there. He quickly looked the name up and found it.
"Bingo! So in our comics, she's actually one of your recurring foes, Diana."
"Huh…"
"Anyways, I assume you want the weakness?"
"Yes."
"Okay… give me a second and… here! So according to this Wiki entry, her weakness is… moly, a Greek herb plant."
"I am not sure if we will be able to make it to Themyscira and back in time… but maybe…"
"Way ahead of you." The Toon conjured another portal on the ceiling. "Thanks, guys!" The two disappeared into the portal as it closed.
"So ready to get this bread?"
"Am I?!" The two dashed out to train themselves.
E-5509
Spider-Vine was tending to their garden at their home in Neighborville. They have been working with Crazy Dave to produce new Plants for protecting the city against the Zombie horde, mainly ones inspired by the Gods. Unfortunately, Dave had other means to attend to, so it was just them, but luckily, they had a whole yard of Plants out front protecting them. And then a portal opened on the ground next to them. He was startled but calmed down when the two people came out!"
"Toon! Wonder Woman! It's so great to see you!" They quickly hugged them before Wonder Woman spoke.
"You as well! So do you have any moly plants?"
"Really? That's kind of out there… but, we actually do! We and Crazy Dave created it after you guys left. We called it the Holy Moly!" It was an angelic-looking Plant with the ring around its head and predominately-white color scheme.
"Indeed I am the Holy Moly."
"We have a couple of seeds if you need some but you'll need these flower pots as well." They directed them towards the already-planted Flower Pots, prompting them to smile. They got the seeds they needed and the Flower Pots, preparing to head back to their dimension.
"Thanks a lot! We really owe you one!"
"Oh, don't sweat it! We just like helping. And good luck with whatever you're going through!"
"Thanks!" The two made a portal and disappeared, leaving them satisfied.
DC Super Hero Girls dimension
The two appeared before Circe, Plants in tow.
"Circe! We're giving you one last chance to end your spell!"
"Why would I want to do that?"
"Because of this." The Toon pulled out a Holy Moly, confusing her but weakening her.
"Wait… what is that?"
"Oh, this. Just a special type of Plant we found. It's called… a Holy Moly."
"You know," said the Plant, "what you're doing is not considered angelic to me…"
"No… no…" Circe fell to the ground, weakened by it the same way Supergirl feels around Kryptonite. Speaking of which, the other teenagers also felt a little woozy, grasping their heads. "Make this pain stop…"
"We will… IF you end this spell…" Circe just stared at the two standing before him and the Holy Moly that they planted. She was forced to make a decision…
"OK fine! I'll end this stupid curse, now get this thing away from me!" The Toon did so as Wonder Woman took out her Lasso of Truth in case she tries anything funny. Circe moved her arms around similar to when she first cast the spell, slowly causing everyone to be reverted back and teleported back to the ground. As soon as the spell was done, the duo say the Super Hero Girls laying on the ground.
"Now…" Wonder Woman tied Circe up in her Lasso, "do not think of affecting him or anyone else in this city, do you hear?" She launched her back into space, far from the planet, vowing to return someday. It was at that point that the two started carrying their unconscious bodies
Later…
Each of the girls woke up in Jordan's house, not remembering a thing from the day.
"Ugh, what happened?"
"How did we get here?"
"And why do we smell of lavender?" Diana and Jordan stared at each other, not knowing the best way to put this. Hey, they had to find out eventually, so they ended up telling them the whole story, from Circe to the spell cast to its effects on the teenagers of the city.
"Huh." Zatanna was pretty calm despite what happened. "So Jordan's weakness is being flustered?"
"Pretty much."
"Wait… what exactly did we do while under the spell?"
Jordan and Diana stared at each other again, still unsure of how they should tell them. They told them about how… flirty they acted, and Zee, while shocked at first, took it pretty well.
"So you're not weirded out? At all?"
"No! Jordan, I'm one of the most popular girls in the city. I get reactions like that all the time! Seriously, don't sweat it!"
"Oh, phew! That's a relief! Now if you all will excuse me… I am going to nap and rethink everything." Jordan immediately went upstairs to bed, hoping that none of the other teens in the city will remember what happened.
AU: Hey! Sorry for the chapter being a little longer than usual. I just took this idea and kind of ran with it in my own way. So I'm gonna level with you: I am not that big of a comic person, though I am starting to get into it. So I had to do some research on who Circe is and what her weaknesses and powers are and, after seeing the weakness, I just HAD to include the other dimensions, even if it's for a brief moment.
Also, I hope this one didn't stretch for so long because I'm afraid it did. Truth be told, the thing I wanted in this chapter is Jordan and Diana character interactions, as well as to show Jordan as a teenage boy for once. Admittedly, while I didn't have major plans for Carol for obvious reasons, I still wanted to include her on account of her Lantern Ring, as well as Hal Jordan being her fixation.
I guess you could say I went a little crazy this chapter but hey, at least it's not an arc-related episode!
Finally, I just wanted to give a Thank You to everyone in the review section for providing a lot of ideas recently! I'm gonna try to implement them in some way!
Well, as always, leave a review! Never hurts to help!
