The month of June was nearing its end and that means summer is about one-fourth finished. And unfortunately, what that means is an increase in temperature. Like today, for instance, which was supposed to have temperatures nearing as high as the 100s. This was especially evident as Jordan was waking up.
"Good morning Metropolis. This is FM 93.8, a Galaxy Communications station. For those just waking up, you better have a plan for surviving the heat cause meteorologists say temps can go as far as 100 degrees. But to help you out, we got some tunes to help you survive…"
As "I Will Survive" plays, Jordan goes through his morning routine, brushing his teeth, showering, dressing himself up, though he had to use more comfortable clothes due to the heat. He chose to wear athletic shorts and an athletic tee, which wasn't that different from what he usually wore but was extra comfortable to stretch in. As he went down, he saw Diana, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a skirt, again not that different, and his mom, who was wearing a short tee and jean shorts.
"Morning…"
"Heat got to you too, huh?"
"Yeah, I didn't think it could get this hot up here. So what are your plans for today?"
"No idea. Not even fans can make it comfy to sit here."
"Huh. I wonder how our enemies are doing in this heat…"
Jumpcut…
All of the villains decided to head over to Parry Piper's home, which was not far from the city. Their reasoning was that he has an actual lake. They all were just chillin' like… well, you know.
"And then I said, 'You expect me to actually go to a PUBLIC pool with all those people?' I was like 'No way! I already have an aversion to most people. No way I'm going out there!'" Pam was definitely impressed by what he said, seeing it as similar to what she would do. "Yup, we're just gonna chill right through this one…"
Back at the James residence…
As they all sat there panting, someone got a call. Jordan checked his phone and it was from Zee. He answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hey, so you and Diana are just sitting around on the couch in your home right?"
"Um… actually, yes. How did you know?"
"Heatwave. So do I have a proposition for you? In case you didn't know, I have a rooftop pool."
"Oh, I know. Also, we agreed that we wouldn't speak of it again."
"Oh, right. My bad. Anyways, if you want, you and Diana can come by."
"Hmm… well, hold on." Jordan put the phone on hold, talking to Diana and Wanah. "So Zee's inviting us to her pool."
"Oh ok. Wait, are you sure you are willing to go? After the… "love spell" thing?"
"Well, there's no other way to get cool so…Oh, do you, Wanah, come?"
"Well, today is my day off… and I always wanted to see where your friends live… okay, sure." Jordan gave a thumbs up and went back to the phone.
"Zee? We're gonna come by later."
"Great! Also, why do you have elevator music as your hold music."
"Oh. I just thought, well, holding is like waiting in an elevator. Plus, Happy Jose is catchy."
"Well, can't argue with that…well, we'll see ya later!"
"Alright! Bye!" They hung up.
"Alright, so we're all going to Zee's pool!" Everyone agreed and went to their rooms to get ready.
About an hour later…
They decided to just take rideshare there, not knowing if they actually have a garage or not. The car pulled up to the Zataras' home. With covers on their bodies, everyone got out as Jordan called Zee to tell her they were here.
Moments later…
It took them a while to get to the roof, mainly because of the fact that there were people in the lobby… and Zee was walking through it. The teenage boys hooted and hollered as she walked through, even as she was covering herself. Eventually, they reached the elevator and headed to the top. Once they did, they saw some other faces up there.
"Hi, Jordan! Hi, Diana!"
"Hello, friends!" Turns out the other girls were there too: Kara in her blue one-piece, Karen in her yellow-and-black striped one-piece, Babs in her purple two-piece, Jess in her green and black one-piece, and Tatsu in her black one-piece. To their surprise, Mary was there too, sporting the look of a red one-piece with a blue skirt. Mr. Zatara was there too, something that Wanah noticed.
"Welcome to our pool!" He welcomed Jordan's group as they each shook his hand. Once that was out of the way, they took off their covers, revealing their swimwear: Zee's, of course, was her purple sparkling bikini, Jordan's was his red swim trunks, Diana's was her red and blue bikini, and Wanah's was a bikini that was red, like her son's swimwear. Everyone else took notice since they didn't really get to see his mom a lot, noting her attractiveness.
"Okay," said Zee, "I have to admit, I didn't know your mom was quite the looker."
"Yeah, well, she hasn't really appeared in our adventures all that much but this time, she is!" Jordan noted her appearances as she went to a chair and relaxed under an umbrella. Mr. Zatara followed as the other three went over to the pool. They all jumped in and were instantly relieved from the heat.
Throughout this time, everyone kinda splashed around and cooled themselves off. Right now, Jordan was on one of the walls of the pool, chatting about stuff.
"So, in general, I found electro-swing to be like something you would hear in a modern cartoon, you know?"
"I see where you're getting at," said Mary. "You know, I'm just happy to see you all again. I feel that we haven't really gotten a chance to really be together since the musical episode!"
"You know, you're right. I'm glad we- wait, why is the water warmer?" Everyone stared at each other and got out as the water's temperature got warmer. And the roof was warmer too, causing them all to move about.
"We need to float…"
"But her dad is here. I don't think he knows."
"Oh, I know." Everyone was shocked to see Mr. Zatara behind them.
"Wait, you know?"
"Zee's boyfriend is a pig from another dimension. Not to mention she's my daughter. Believe me, I'm perfectly fine with it!"
"Oh okay. Thanks!" They all went into their hero forms and floated above in their own ways as Mary went under the umbrella.
"Okay, how is it so hot! We need to find out the cause of this!"
"Agreed. We must scope out. Come, siblings, we must take flight!" Everyone began to take off before the Toon and Wonder Woman did their goodbyes to Wanah before they flew off on his jetpack.
Everyone was on the rooftops of Metropolis, noting the increasing temperature. "Oh my gosh! According to my weather application, the temperature managed to exceed 100!" Wonder Woman was right, with even the sky turning orange. They wanted to know who was behind this as they kept flying…little did they know that their answer was about to be given to them.
They all noticed a man on one of the rooftops ahead of them, with some kind of machine shooting fire into the sky
"Hey!" The Toon shouted, still really hot from the weather, as the Girls landed behind him.
"Oh hello. Name's Heat Wave, nice to meet ya!" He turned around and provided a proper greeting.
"Well, uh, Heat Wave, can you please stop warming up the weather. It's unbearable hot and we can't really handle this heat. Please?" Green Lantern tried to be diplomatic since it's so hot. He wasn't interested.
"Oh, see that's the thing. I don't want to. I prefer the heat and hot weather. It makes everything more… burning, you know."
"Okay, so we're not going the diplomatic route. Okay…" The Toon took out a seltzer bottle and tried to spray him, but he was quick to summon fire and negate it.
"Be vary, sisters. Though the weather is currently unbearable, we must remain strong and keep our spirits up! Charge!" The Girls charged towards him, making him chuckle a bit.
"Hmm… I gotta say, you really are pretty determined, huh?" He dodged their attacks, retaliating with fire from his body. "Guess we gotta turn up the heat." He used his powers to move to another rooftop, leaving him enough time to shoot more fire from his hands. Shooting into the sky, the temperature seemed to get hotter and hotter, even passing into the 100s. The Girls took notice and started panting a bit.
"Keep cool, siblings…" Diana was also panting as everyone seemed to gradually lose their energy. Even the Toon seemed to be melting… literally.
"Don't worry. We're gonna be fine…" He literally was melting, which made it harder for him to actually fight. In the time he melted, he thought of a plan on the spot, sending a message on his watch to anyone that is available.
"Help. Heat villain. Unbearable temperatures."
That was all it said before he melted from the heat. The other Girls were on the roof, panting hard thanks to how unbearable the heat became.
"Awww, you're not a fan of the heat? I am. You know, it's actually kind of a shame. I've heard great things about you and expected more out of you. Ah well, in a few moments, you won't have-" Heat Wave was interrupted by two sudden blasts of ice, which knocked him off course. He got up and turned back around to see…
"Hey, SOME people just can't handle the heat as you can!" Jordan A. and Spider-Vine were there, having received the SOS text. They both had ice on them, with Jordan A. in his Ice form and Spider-Vine carrying Ice plants.
"Who are you two supposed to be?"
"Oh, don't worry about that. What you need to worry about is how we're gonna stop this little wave." Jordan A. conjured a beam of ice to shoot into the sky as Spider-Vine kept him busy with their Ice Plants.
"Hey, Vine? Don't you have Missile Toes?" Jordan A. was still shooting a beam into the sky but it was only his powers so he's making slow progress.
"Yeah! Why?"
"Can you toss some over here? We need more ice power!"
"Sure!" They tossed some Missile Toes in Flower Pots to him, with the instruction to keep conjuring and launching snowballs into the air. All the while, Spider-Vine was still keeping him busy with their Plants so he can get to the other Girls. Luckily, he planted enough to keep him busy for a while.
"Hang on, Girls! I got just the thing to cool you down!" They planted a Winter Mint and instantly the Girls seemed to feel relief. This was proven when the Toon reformed himself.
"Ah, that feels nice!" He went over to the Winter Mint with the other Girls and felt more relief.
"Feel better?"
"Oh definitely," said Green Lantern. "Thanks so much!" She hugged them as a sign of thanks.
"No prob…" Unbeknownst to her, they blushed, which disappeared when they parted.
"No! My precious heat!" Meanwhile, Heat Wave was getting weaker with every ice attack and drop in temperature. The Girls took notice and began to walk over to him.
"So you wanna lament about how bad extreme temperatures are in jail?" Spider-Vine tangled him up in webs, attaching a Missile Toe to him for safe measures.
"I got this, girls!" Supergirl carried the webbed villain and flew him to the jailhouse as he swore vengeance. Everyone waved to them as they all began to say their thanks.
"Hey, thanks for getting my message, Jordans."
"No prob. We're just glad you all are cooled down."
"Hey," said Karen. "Do you think someday we could, you know, go back to your dimension? Because now I'm actually curious as to what other kinds of Plants are there!"
"Hmm… someday. But probably not today." Then, Spider-Vine got an alert on his phone. "Uh oh, Brain Freeze is causing a ruckus at the Water Hole. Hey, I gotta go. Hero business. See ya!" Spider-Vine opened a portal and left as Jordan A. began to do the same.
"Well, I better get going too. Still gotta train for that event!" Jordan A. opened his portal and went back, leaving the Girls to head back to Zee's rooftop.
"Oh, thank goodness you are all okay!" Wanah was happy that they were all safe, especially given how hot it became.
"Well, luckily, we had help from outside sources. So the day is still young. Anyone still wanna splash?"
Everyone decided to stay at Zee's pool, splashing around and having fun with each other. However, Jessica had something to do real quick and stepped aside. After making sure no one was looking, she used her ring to send herself into space...
AU: So this idea was something that I had to really revise and revise because the villain was actually going to be someone completely different. Anyways, I also found this chapter to be a bit of a breather episode for the most part, so it might not have been that, you know, heavy but I think it's a good episode for a quick break. You know, before major stuff begins to happen. And I think that's all for now.
Well, as always, leave a review. Never hurts to help!
