Later that day

"Byeeee….."

J'onzz voice lingered in the air. Everything after that was a blur. I rushed into Ultraman's shower and cleaned myself up. Before I knew it, I was dressed in and tea length blue dress and headed out of the door.

"Gaia keep me," I muttered before the elevator door opened.

Bursting out of the elevator door down the stairs, I saw J'onzz waiting for me. There was a clear line of armed guards in between us. I looked them up and down. Did Ultraman know anyone who was small in stature? The men on either side of the entre way were towering large men with tribal tattoos visible under their sleeves. Their arms were folded as I walked past them. I timidly waved to one of them.

"Good morning…" I said to the guard closest to the front door.

He nodded.

"Arthur you big softy," J'onzz said from the outside.

The guard grunted as he opened the front door for me.

"Should I inform Ultraman that you are taking her out…" the guard said with a smirk. "I'm sure he approved this little trip of yours…"

J'onzz scoffed, "Go eat a shark dick Nemo!"

The guard laughed, but somehow I didn't find it comforting.

"Am I allowed to leave the grounds?" I asked as I walked towards J'onzz.

Seemingly ignoring my question, he smiled as he noticed I was wearing one of the dresses he purchased for me. I looked back at the building as the guard closed the door behind me. Something within me told me to turn around and go back inside. I didn't want to anger Ultraman more than I already had.

"Blue is your color my dear," he said.

"But the guard said…"

J'onzz cut me off as he opened the door to a large black car.

"Arthur is just being Arthur," J'onzz replied. "Ultraman enlisted me to take over your care while you are his guest. The care involves you getting to know your new home."

J'onzz extended his hand to me.

"He wants to feel like this is home…." he added.

His green face told no lie, so I took his hand. Entering the car I was greeted by a boisterous, hello.

"Hello again,"

The ginger man from last night was seated in the driver's seat.

"Jimmy Olsen is the name,"

"Diana," I replied. "Sorry about yesterday…"

My face flushed as I remember he was there for part of last night. Why were all of Ultraman's men treating me with such kindness. I tried to kill their boss.

As I replied J'onzz entered the car on the passenger's side. He shook his head as he looked back at me.

"This ball of gingerness is Ultraman's person assistant," J'onzz said. "He'll be joining us today. He's seen far worse than what happened yesterday."

The man named Jimmy laughed.

"You can say that again J'onzz," Jimmy said as he looked at me in the rear view mirror.. "Ultraman informed us of your actions."

The ginger driver smiled.

"The big guy understands doing something against your will better than you think Ma'am."

Again J'onzz nodded. This was the second time I'd heard someone bring up him understanding me. I thought to ask them more yet, I knew my questions wouldn't be answered. What I wanted to know would only come from Ultraman himself.

"Nice to meet you Jimmy," I said. "Do you know where J'onzz is taking me?"

Jimmy shook his head, saying he didn't know. How was he going to drive us anywhere if he didn't know where we were going?

"It's a surprise," J'onzz said as the car drove off.

With Jimmy driving us J'onzz showed me the city. It was beautiful. There were buildings so tall I couldn't see their tops. He pointed out all the buildings that Ultraman owned. four , for the four corners of the city. The drive was peaceful enough yey, I couldn't help but wonder if Ultraman would be angry about me leaving. Lost in thought I barely noticed J'onzz phone ring.

"Greeting Selina," J'onzz said.

I looked a Jimmy puzzled. He mouthed…

"Bruce's lady friend,"

"...What can I do for you this evening?"

At a stoplight Jimmy turned his head around.

"She owns a few gentlemen's clubs across the US," he said winking as he said 'gentlemen's clubs'.

I wasn't sure that those were but they sounded rather fancy. Jimmy once again winked at me. I didn't quite understand his reason for doing so. Before I could ask, J'onzz voice grew loud.

"... Selina calm down," he said. "I'll have a girl down there before the first show…. Yes I have a girl. She beautiful, curvous…. Yes she's got big titites… I'll bring her by right now…"

As J'onzz spoke I felt my heart sink. Was he talking about me?

"See ya soon Selina," he said as he started to rub his temples.

"Everything ok J'onzz?" Jimmy asked.

"No," he replied. "One of Selina's girls just walked out on her. She needs a replacement like yesterday. She all booked tonight…"

J'onzz looked back at me.

"Do you know how to dance Diana?" he asked.

I was taken aback by his question. I took a few moments for I finally nodded.

"Yes," I said. "We have different festivals for the gods and some of them required me to dance."

"Great," J'onz said with a clap. "Jimmy head on down to The Cat's Den…"

Jimmy looked back at me and then looked at J'onzz.

"You sure 'HE'LL' approve of her being down at Selina's?" Jimmy asked.

"Selina's is apart of the business," J'onzz said his voice firm. "The if she doesn't have a dance than her business will suffer. Meaning we'd losing income."

J'onzz looked back at me. He let out a deep sigh.

"I know it is a lot to ask of you but will you help us?" he said.

I looked down at my hands. I'd tried to kill their boss, a little dance was the least I could do.

"I'll help," I replied.

J'onzz leaned back in his seat.

"Going to tell Ultraman about this J'onzz?" Jimmy asked.

"Does it look like I want to die today?" J'onzz replied.

From the tone of his voice he was dead serious. What would make him say such a thing, it was only a dance.
