Chapter 4 Fun and Games
Once again, Wonder Woman was amazed. This time, it was at how fast the female Z Senshi could fly. They weren't flying spectacularly fast, but still, they were flying a little faster than Superman's average speed, and at a sustained rate. In two hours, they arrived at Titan Tower. Wonder Woman watched curiously as they made a beeline for the tower itself, which appeared to have some sort of gather on it. She maneuvered her jet to land a little ways away from the tower, then walked inside the front door, following the Z Senshi. As they walked up the steps, she took in the slightly torn up look of the tower. Probably a fight between Beast Boy and Cyborg. Then, they reached the dining room. And her eyes nearly left her head. There, at the table, were two men, two teenagers, and three boys. And all of them were eating more than the Flash could dream of, though he was attempting to keep up with them it would seem. Along with Impulse and Kid Flash. And Starfire. And Cyborg.
"There they are!" Chi Chi exclaimed happily, as if it were a normal occurrence.
"They're" Wonder Woman stared in amazement. Chi Chi nodded.
"Exactly what I expected" she said, nodding wisely "Though, I didn't expect them"
"These guys found the little guys over in the desert" Yamcha said, pointing to Superboy, Wonder Girl, and a little more cautiously to Impulse. Even after all these years, he still tried to keep stray limbs away from Saiyan mouths.
"And these guys" he pointed cautiously to Kid Flash and Cyborg, then to the rest of the Teen Titans "Found Gohan and Trunks"
"I see" Chi Chi bowed formally "I hope they didn't cause you any trouble, looking after them" she said
"Actually, they did a pretty good job of looking after us" Robin said
"What does he mean by that?" Wonder Woman asked Wonder Girl
"These guys just took down Brother Blood and an army of droids and metahumans" the girl replied. Wonder Woman raised an eyebrow.
"On their own?"
"We sure didn't help" Wonder Girl said. It was then that Wonder Woman noticed her head attire "I see you've gained a Tiara" she said. Marron giggled from Wonder Girl's shoulders.
"Yeah, she's grown a little attached" she said "And besides, she's so CUTE!"
"I'm full" Gohan, Goten, and both Gokus said. Vegeta and both Trunkses merely stopped eating, wiping their mouths. Flash, Kid Flash, and Impulse sat back in their chairs, Starfire began gushing about the fabulous meal, and Cyborg belched loudly.
"I'd say they're done" Krillin said
"Well, how about some formal introductions" Chi Chi said "Wonder Woman, this is my husband Goku" she said
"Hiya!" Goku waved enthusiastically
"This is my oldest son Gohan, and my younger son Goten" she said. Then, she did a double take.
"Nice to meet you" Gohan and Goten said, bowing formally
'So polite' Wonder Woman thought
"Sweetie, when did Gohan shrink?" Chi Chi asked. Goku blinked and looked at his oldest son
"I'm not sure, sometime between when he went in the escape pod and the time we got here" Goku replied sheepishly, scratching his head
"Oh, and of course I'm Chi Chi" she said, turning to the others
"This is Vegeta" Bulma said, pointing to her husband. He didn't respond.
"And this is my son Trunks" she pointed to M. Trunks. He waved slightly
"And this is…my son, Trunks" she said after a slight pause. C. Trunks waved, smiling brightly
"Wha?" Beast Boy scratched his head
"A long story involving time travel" she said with a sigh
"Don't start, you're gonna give me a headache!" Beast boy said, grasping his head
"Umm, I'm Videl" Videl said sheepishly "And, I guess I'll introduce my son, Goku" she said, pointing to the boy. He grinned and waved much like Goku had
"WHA!" Beast Boy shouted
"Another long story involving time travel" she said
"Wait, if you're Goku" he pointed to the older Son "And you're Goku, does that make him from the future, or her from the future, or, ACK!" Beast Boy grasped his head
"I think we should move on before he has a meltdown" Cyborg sighed
"I'm Teal, and, umm" she looked around "I guess I'll introduce Yamcha" she said, pointing to the scarred man
"I'm Eighteen" Eighteen said boredly "A long story involving genetic engineering and robotics" she said before Beast Boy could comment "That's my husband Krillin, my brother Seventeen, and the head ornament there is my daughter Marron" she said, hiding a grin. Marron had at some point transferred to Superboy's shoulders, where she giggled happily
"Yeah, I'm Punch, that's Tien" she pointed "And the green guy's Piccolo" she said
"And that's everyone" Chi Chi said
"Okay then, now that we know everyone, I think" Superman said, still trying to imagine some of the stories behind these people "Let's go find out if this IS everyone"
"Hey, IS this everyone?" Flash asked
"I'm not sure" Chi Chi said thoughtfully
"It is unless my dad and the others landed somewhere. How many pods did you say you saw again?"
"I'm not sure, we ourselves didn't see them" Green Lantern said "We have a friend in space right now, he saw you"
"I see" Chi Chi sighed, yawning slightly. She realized the sun was setting.
"Friends!" Starfire said brightly "You must stay here with us in our home, which these five fought so bravely to protect!" she pointed to the blushing Gohan, Goten, Goku and Trunkses.
"Sounds good, you guys get some rest, tomorrow we'll bring a javelin to bring you to our base" Superman said "I have a couple friends who might be able to help you"
"Then it's settled" Robin said "They'll stay here in our guest rooms"
The Capsule Corp. Ship came plunging out of the sky, activating emergency thrusters at the last moment and coming for a swift stop on the lawn of Capsule Corp. The exit hatch blew off and Oolong and 24 exited the ship. They saw the lifeboat containing Dr. Briefs and the refugees had already landed. They entered the compound and headed straight for the lab where they saw Dr. Briefs busily working away at the counter. Turning around, they saw him pouring himself a large cup of coffee.
"Ah, that's the stuff" he said, taking a large sip.
"Dr. Briefs!" Oolong exclaimed "The space pods with Goku and the others"
"Landed in another time" Dr. Briefs finished
"Yeah, and"
"We're not certain where that time is" Dr. Briefs said
"Yes, and"
"We're out of coffee"
"Yes, NO! That's not it! We have to find out where they are quick"
"Yes, I've been toying with one of my old inventions, the gourmet coffee maker" he said, turning to it "Along with this contraption Bulma's been building through correspondence with her future counterpart. I never could figure the thing out, but I'm beginning to understand it now. I was more interested in the one that sent futuristic coffee brands here from the future of course"
"What is the other one!" Oolong yelled
"Oh, that one? It's a time tracker" he said "It can track a person through time and space, no matter how far they go. After that fiasco with that Apocalypse chap, Bulma even decided to use it to research different 'Ages of Mankind' as she called them. So, I'm fairly certain we can find them" he said "But first, I'd like to finish this cup of coffee. I'm afraid my nerves will require it. While I work, I'd like you to help those poor people from the Ice Jin world find their homes 24. Oolong, send Bulma's lab assistant here. Perhaps she can figure out some of these blueprints"
The next morning, Starfire awoke to a wonderful smell. She followed her nose to the kitchen where she found all of the female Z Senshi minus Teal cooking enormous amounts of food.
"Good morning Starfire" Bulma said brightly. Starfire looked around in wonder.
"That smells most delightful" she said "How did you make such a large amount of food?"
"Oh, I get up pretty early" Chi Chi said "Plus, I had their help. And, I went shopping, there wasn't a lot here"
"I see" Starfire nodded. She looked around. It all looked so good.
"Help yourself dear" Chi Chi said "The Saiyan boys are outside. All your friends are still asleep. Except for Robin I think"
"Yeah, he got up pretty early" Bulma said, stopping to ponder for a moment "With all the training he does, I'm surprised he isn't shooting ki blasts" she grinned
'Saiyan, Saiyan, where have I heard such a thing' she thought
"Speaking of which, would you guys mind if I-" Eighteen began. Chi Chi smiled
"Go ahead, we're almost done here. We'll probably do the same thing later" she said. As Eighteen walked out, she saw Teal sitting awkwardly at the table, watching.
"What is it?" she asked
"It's just, I can't really"
"Don't worry, I couldn't cook to begin with either" she said "If you hang around them long enough, you'll pick some things up. Especially if you talk to Chi Chi" she said. Teal smiled.
"Now, if you'll excuse me for a moment" she rolled up her sleeves slightly and marched up the stairs. A few moments later, a crash and a yelp were heard. Followed by yelling. She looked around with wide eyes and then she heard a yell outside and saw a flash falling down quickly, then floating up slightly. Krillin waved his hand hastily and suddenly Eighteen went flying down on him like a train. She heard "Time to train!"
"What about my breakfast!" Krillin yelled. Starfire gasped at the sight.
"You have to earn it!" Came Eighteen's reply and she opened up a barrage of ki blasts. Krillin narrowly dodged them and Starfire gulped.
"My goodness, is that customary where you are from?" Starfire asked. She heard thumping and then turned to see Superboy slightly sleepwalking down the stairs. He rubbed his eyes and then blinked once, twice, three times and pointed out the window.
"What's-never mind, I don't think I'll ask" Superboy said, shaking his head
"Don't worry" Chi Chi said, shoving a large plate of food into his hands "That's just training"
"Yeah, gotta keep those guys on their toes" Bulma said from the kitchen, pouring a large glass of juice and handing it to him. He looked at the food and turned to Starfire.
"Can we keep them around?" he asked, pointing to the women. Laughter rang through the room.
Outside, Robin watched in surprise for a moment as the two trained, then looked at Vegeta who was going through a kata on his own on the ground, then to Goten and Trunks who had stopped for a moment in their sparring match and perched in a tree to watch the two. He heard Gohan laughing and winced at a crashing sound. Hopefully not a window. Piccolo hovered a few feet off the ground on the beach, and Yamcha and Tien sparred nearby.
"Are those two always like that?" Robin asked Vegeta. Vegeta smirked.
"Yes" he said simply. Krillin crashed into the ground and groaned.
"Why me?" he asked
"If you weren't lazy and sleeping in she wouldn't do this to you!" Vegeta shouted at him. Krillin groaned and flew up into the air to combat his wife and Vegeta smirked. He was guilty of doing that to Bulma a few times as well. Suddenly, Robin heard a rushing sound and he yelped as a small blur rushed passed him, giggling slightly. He turned and saw Marron's retreating back rushing over the horizon at breakneck speed. He sighed.
"You guy's have got to teach me to fly before you go" Robin said
"Don't ask me to teach you, Gohan's the teacher around here" Yamcha said as he flew by, dodging Tien's attack. Gohan blushed slightly and was hit by one of Trunks's ki blasts, landing on the ground near Robin.
"Umm, he he, yeah, I guess I could give you some pointers, though the real expert on flying would be Tien" he said, scratching his head
"Who taught her?" he asked, pointing to Marron who was weaving through trees and flying in circles around the tower, all incredibly fast. He shrugged.
"Talk to the lovebirds" he said, pointing to Eighteen and Krillin. A stray ki blast landed near Robin and he gulped.
"Maybe later"
Raven awakened refreshed, as if her house wasn't full of super powered aliens and ultra powerful humans. She walked over to her curtains and opened them to look out at the morning and saw Krillin flying straight towards her, tailed by a ki blast. He drew up at the last minute, and the ki blast followed, Eighteen close behind.
"Okay, interesting" she said simply. She walked down the stairs and found the large amounts of food on the table, Superboy working his way through his enormous portion.
"Good morning" Videl's voice rang out in greeting "Hungry?" she offered her a plate of food. Raven shook her head.
"Just some tea would be nice" she said. Punch handed her a mug of tea. She smiled and walked over to the large window, sipping it while she looked out at the training activities. Goku and Vegeta were now paired off in a sparring match, and the chibis seemed to be engaged in a game of battle tag with Trunks and Gohan, M. Goku having joined in as well. She winced as Gohan was 'tagged' by Goten.
"Remind me never to play tag with THEM" she said. Superboy looked out and winced
"If you remind me" he said
"It's a deal"
Raven walked out into the beach-turned-training ground and dodged a flying chibi, but was tackled by an energetic Marron.
"Good morning!" the small, bright colored wearing girl grinned
"Good morning" the more reserved older girl smiled
"You wanna see how fast I can go?" she asked
"Sure" Raven replied. The girl leapt off of her and stood ready, then took up a set position
"Say when"
"Alright, GO!" Raven said. Marron took off, and there was a boom as she broke the sound barrier. Raven's self control was the only thing that kept her jaw in place. Suddenly, Marron came up behind her.
"Hi!" the girl yelled. Raven jumped and turned around. The girl grinned.
"I flew ALL the way around the city!" she said happily. Raven gasped.
'Who are these people?'
Your ancestors a voice whispered. Raven's head snapped around, looking in all directions. There was no one there.
"Do you wanna play speed tag with me?" Marron asked innocently
"Maybe later" Raven smiled 'Maybe when I learn to break the sound barrier'
She floated over away a small distance and found Piccolo meditating deeply. She smiled. This was her kind of fighter. She floated over to him and tapped him slightly.
"Yes?" he asked
"Mind if I join you?" she asked. He looked at her briefly.
"Be my guest" he said. She took up her position and began chanting quietly. He looked at her.
"Hmm, is that the only meditation technique you know?" he asked. She looked at him and nodded briefly. He sighed.
"I think I'll teach you something new, if you're willing to learn"
"Sure" she smiled again
"Wow, something smells good" Beast Boy said, getting up in his dark room. He walked over to the curtains, tripping over something, and jerked them open, holding his foot. A ki blast was heading straight towards him.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Beast Boy ducked, covering his head as Goku redirected the blast to follow Vegeta. He looked around sheepishly and then ran down the stairs.
"What's going on!" Beast Boy yelled, coming down the stairs. Superboy looked up from where he was getting ready to go out and train.
"What do you mean?" he asked
"Oh, I don't know, how about the ENORMOUS BALL OF LIGHT FLYING STRAIGHT AT MY HEAD!" he yelled
"Oh my, are they throwing ki blasts around outside?" Chi Chi asked "I'll have to talk to them" she dusted her hands off and directed Videl to bring some food to Beast Boy.
"Here" she said, blanching slightly "A completely meat-free meal, complete with tofu"
He sat down to eat and looked over at the window to see Chi Chi swinging Goku around by his leg and throwing him while Vegeta laughed insanely.
"Is THAT what talking means!" he asked
They'll teach you how to fight if you watch and learn a voice whispered. He jumped
"AH! WHAT WAS THAT!" he yelled
"What?" Punch asked, looking at him oddly
"Nothing" he muttered, digging into his food
Starfire watched Robin training, then looked at the others. They all seemed to be paired off training. Except for her.
'Who may I train with?' she thought, looking around 'Robin's style is different from mine. As is Superboy's' she thought 'Raven and the large green man, Piccolo, are meditating. I doubt Raven would train with me anyway. Who?'
"Hey, you wanna spar" came a voice. She looked and found Videl.
"What does 'Spar' mean?"
"Umm, what they're doing" she pointed to Goku and Chi Chi. Vegeta had gone back to solitary practice.
"If you mean the moving at high speeds and punches and throwing balls of light, I am not that fast" Starfire said
"I can handle that" Videl said. Starfire grinned.
"You truly wish to fight me?" she asked
"Sure, I could use a workout" Videl said. Starfire flew up into the air, her eyes glowing.
"Then let us begin!"
Study her movements, learn of your heritage a voice whispered. Starfire looked around wildly
"What?"
"Hmm? What is it?" Videl asked. Starfire shrugged.
"I thought I heard something"
"Hey kid, wake up!" Kid Flash sat up quickly, his eyes darting around. He found the Flash, his mentor, standing there.
"Yeesh, you snore like a log" he said teasingly. Kid Flash grinned.
"Something smells good!" he said
"Yeah, that Chi Chi apparently decided to cook breakfast, and so did all those other ladies Wonder Woman brought. Man, they cooked a LOT of food! And the Saiyans have already eaten!" he said
"No way!" Kid Flash's eyes bugged. Flash nodded.
"Come on, there's a whole bunch left, but Impulse is going through it" he said with a grin. Kid Flash's eyes narrowed. Very few things could get on his nerves, but one of them was the hyperactive speedster. The two sped down the stairs and Kid Flash came to a screeching halt as he passed the window. He looked outside and his eyes widened. Almost everyone was outside training. He watched the action and then turned to Flash.
"What got into them?"
"I dunno, but something's going around. I fell like going for a few laps around the state just watching" Flash commented "After breakfast of course"
"You didn't eat at the Watchtower?"
"Of course I did, but this food's too good to pass up" Flash replied. Kid Flash laughed as the two dug into the meal set before them by a grinning Bulma, joining Cyborg at the table. A few moments later, they returned to the window. Kid Flash groaned as he heard a familiar rush of wind.
"Isn't that cool? Isn't that sweet! They're so strong! And that little girl is really fast! I think she was flying faster than Superman! And that girl is fighting Starfire! Can you believe it! Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!" Impulse began racing circles around the two. Flash grinned at his younger counterpart's reaction, then watched in amusement as Kid Flash casually stuck his foot out. He zipped over to the door as Impulse went crashing towards it, opening it and allowing the boy to go flying out it with a startled yelp.
"Come on kid" he laughed "Let's go join the party!"
"I hear that" Cyborg said, joining them as they walked out the door.
"Is that everyone?" Punch asked, sitting down at the table. Teal nodded.
"I think so" she said. Bulma sighed happily.
"I think I know why you and Chi Chi love cooking all that food every day" she said to Punch
"I wish I'd helped" Teal said "But the truth is, I can't cook" she confessed. Bulma laughed good naturedly
"Why didn't you say so? This would've been a good lesson!" she said. Teal shook her head sadly
"I REALLY can't cook" she said
"I couldn't cook before either" Bulma said with a wink "I think Goku's tendency to rub off on people rubbed off on Chi Chi, and some of her skills started rubbing off on me, if that makes any sense at all"
"Don't worry" Punch said "You hang around us. We'll teach you"
"Yeah, you've gotta learn to cook before you can catch that certain scarred bandit you've been looking at" Bulma said with a wink. Teal blushed and looked away
"I don't know what you're talking about" she said. The women burst into laughing.
A helicopter flew overhead, a video camera poking out of the side. There was a black haired woman and a red haired photographer inside.
"Are you getting this?" she asked him. He nodded.
"It's incredible!" he said "Are you seeing this!"
"Of course! What a scoop!" suddenly, a large ball of light flew straight towards them. She shrieked as the helicopter lurched, the ball of light hitting it dead on. She frantically looked around as it took a nosedive. Just her luck, the one time Superman's not around and she's in a falling helicopter. Then, the copter lurched again, and she looked outside. A woman with black hair pulled up in a neat bun wearing a distinctly Asian outfit was holding up the helicopter, lowering it gently. On the ground, Kid Flash was running around in a circle to make an air cushion as the woman gently set the chopper down. The woman got out of the helicopter, but before she could thank her rescuer, she had marched off.
"GOTEN! TRUNKS! WHAT DID I JUST GET DONE SAYING ABOUT KI BLASTS!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. A small, black haired boy and his light haired friend were looking sheepishly down at the ground, drawing circles in the dust with their feet. Despite the fact that it was apparently the two of them who had nearly killed her, she couldn't help but think they were overwhelmingly adorable.
"Go apologize to the nice lady" the woman said, apparently regaining her control The two shyly trooped over to her, looking down ashamedly
"Sorry" they said in unison. The woman chuckled.
"You're forgiven" she said. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and everyone's favorite blue and red clad hero swooped in.
"Is everything alright here?" Superman asked
"Heya Superman" she said "You're a little late, the crashing helicopter was already stopped"
"Oh, Lois, are you alright?" he asked
"Yes, I'm fine" she said "Thanks to them" she pointed to Chi Chi and Kid Flash
"Oh, umm, that's good" he said "Sorry I was late"
"That's okay, just don't do it again" she said teasingly. Throughout the exchange, Goten had been standing between them, looking from one to the other as they spoke, growing comprehension of the relationship. He giggled and tiptoed off to a resting Krillin, whispering in his ear. Krillin laughed and leaned over and whispered to Yamcha. Yamcha laughed out loud and the two casually walked over to the two.
"Okay, enough small talk, I'm sure you know why I'm here" Lois said
"I do?" he asked curiously
"Yes! For the scoop!" she replied, pointing to them "Aliens among us, pods crash from sky carrying super powered aliens!" she said
"Umm, Lois, aren't you getting ahead of yourself?" he asked
"NO! I'm NOT! I SAW what they just did! I was in the helicopter, it was both nearly destroyed and saved by them! The CHILDREN are the ones who nearly destroyed it" she exclaimed. Superman looked to the chibis, and Goku pointed to Goten and Trunks, who looked away sheepishly.
"Now then, for my interviews" she said, walking off. Superman sighed. Krillin snickered
"Likes you" he sneezed. Superman jumped, looking behind him
"A lot" Yamcha coughed. Superman shook his head, blushing slightly
"Hey!" Lois called, running up to Chi Chi. Chi Chi turned around.
"Oh, hi!" she said cheerfully
"Hello" Lois said "Thank you for earlier"
"Oh, it's no problem. It's just sort of what I do" she said, giving the Son Family Grin™
"I'm Lois Lane from the Daily Planet, you probably haven't heard of it, it's a newspaper" she said. Chi Chi grinned.
"Wow, that's interesting" she said cheerfully
"So, tell me, what planet is it you come from?" she asked. Chi Chi looked at her blankly.
"Wha?"
"Your planet. There is documentation of space pods falling from the sky, and yourself and the others suddenly appeared here, which is a place known to hold other aliens"
"Oh! Oh, well, umm." Chi Chi was breaking down into giggles "You see, I'm not an alien" she said. It was Lois's turn to stare blankly.
"You see, I'm human. I'm just talented" she said "There are aliens in our group, but I'm fairly sure the majority is human" she said "Let's see" she turned around thoughtfully "He's an alien" she pointed to Goku "And him" Vegeta "And it's kind of obvious, but so is he" she pointed to where Raven and Piccolo were meditating "And she is too" she pointed at Teal
"Are you saying that the rest of you are HUMAN?"
"Umm, well, some are only half human" she replied "Those two" she pointed to Gohan and Goten "And those two" the Trunkses "And him" M. Goku "They're half human"
"Wait, half? What is the other half?"
"I'm going to withhold that information. If you can get someone else to tell you about it, then you'll find out. It's not my information to release" she said "I suggest you talk to one of those two" she pointed to Vegeta and Goku "I suggest talking to him" she pointed at Vegeta "He'll LOVE to tell you about his heritage"
"Really? Wow, thank you" she said. Chi Chi shook her head with a sigh.
"Go tell that lady over there to call him down" she pointed to Bulm, as Vegeta was currently in the air. Superman walked up next to her as Lois walked over to Bulma.
"Superman" she nudged him. He looked at her.
"Marry that girl" she said "A girl like her comes once in a millennia. Superman looked at her incredulously, but she merely smiled and breezed over to stop Goten from dropping a LARGE crab on his brother.
"Excuse me, Ma'am" Lois said to Bulma. Bulma's attention fell on her.
"Oh, hello, sorry about my son" she said
"Your son?"
"That one" Bulma said, pointing to where Trunks was flying around, chased by his older counterpart.
"TRUNKS! DON'T YOU DARE!" she shouted as C. Trunks charged up a ki blast. The boy pouted but quickly began running again.
"Oh, that's alright" Lois said "He's a sweet kid"
"Yeah, he is" she sighed
"Umm, I was wondering if I could get a word with him" she pointed with some difficulty at a weaving Vegeta. Bulma raised an eyebrow
"Whatever for?"
"I was hoping to speak to him on his" she cleared her throat slightly "Heritage"
"Oh, I see" Bulma grinned "Well, you'll certainly hear PLENTY about that" she said with a chuckle "If you really want to. Plug your ears"
"Wha?"
"VEGETA! VEGETA, COME DOWN HERE!" Bulma yelled. Vegeta grumblingly floated down to them
"What is it woman!" he shouted
"This nice lady here wants to talk to you" she said. Lois was clearing her ears after Bulma's shout.
"Hello" she said, wiping her hands "I'm Lois Lane"
"Hmph" was his only reply
"Umm, I was hoping to talk to you about your origins" she said. Vegeta's ears perked up at that
"Oh?"
"Yes, I was told you are an alien. I was hoping you could tell me a little about your race, your society, and such" she said. Vegeta laughed. Bulma sighed
"You may want to get out a pen and take notes" she said "You've just struck gold"
"Well, thank you" she said stiffly, standing up. She stiffled a yawn. She had managed to pick out a lot of interesting facts, including the fact that he was the Prince of all Saiyans, a nearly extinct race. Unfortunately, she only needed to write that down once, and he had said it an inordinate number of times.
"Hmph" was his reply. Even after all that talking, he still didn't seem very interested in anything SHE had to say
"Now then, I think I'll go talk to the green guy" she said. Bulma laughed out loud again.
"What is it this time?" she snapped. Bulma patted her back.
"You seem to have a knack for picking out difficult interview subjects" she said. Lois sighed.
"Maybe I'll interview some half-saiyans instead. Which one do you recommend? Someone easier to interview I hope"
"Oh, take your pick. Goten'll talk your ear off, my younger son'll most likely be just as much fun as Vegeta, my oldest son is shy, and Gohan is…well, he's Gohan" Bulma said. Lois shook her head. It could be a long day. Just then, they heard the scream of jet engines, and looked up to see a pair of javelins lowering down. The chibis pointed in excitement, and the adults watched in surprise as the multipurpose air vehicles landed a ways off, and from them emerged Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl and another, a man dressed in a black cape.
"Batman!" Superman said "I was hoping you'd come"
"Excuse me sir" Goten said "Where'd you get this cape?" he asked, pointing to the long black cape
"Yeah, it's cool" Marron agreed. Batman looked down at them. Most kids were scared of him. They must be new.
"Oh" Superman had a deer-in-front-of-headlights look as another figure emerged after Batman.
"Kal-El!" a woman with red hair and a white cape, a sword hanging by her side.
"Maxima! What are you doing here?" thinking better of it, he turned to Batman "What's she doing here!"
"I wasn't going to argue with her" Batman replied simply, staring blank faced as Marron floated around him in the air, studying him
"What are you here for?" Superman asked as Maxima sauntered towards him
"I thought I said last time, you're still the most suitable one to be my mate, and despite your refusal, you will still fill the role" she replied, cuddling up to him. Suddenly, Lois slipped in between them, separating them
"Look sister, he said he's not interested, so get lost" Lois said, baring her proverbial fangs
"I thought I told you I didn't want to see you ever again" Maxima snapped
"And I thought I told you if you didn't want to see me, go find a nice hole and bury yourself!" Lois replied flippantly. Superman gulped, suddenly feeling as if they were in a game of tug-o-war and he was the rope
"You little wretch!" Maxima growled. Suddenly, she lashed out at Lois, and before Superman could do anything, Lois was suddenly swooped out of the way by an elemental force, Maxima being knocked back in the process. Lois was placed carefully next to Wonder Woman and Hawk Girl by Chi Chi, and she looked up as Chi Chi set a glare worthy of Vegeta on Maxima.
"Just who do you think you are!" Maxima snapped
"Someone who won't abide by someone who obviously possesses power attacking someone who obviously does not" Chi Chi replied
"Oh, and just what do you intend to do about it?"
"Stick around and you'll find out" Chi Chi retorted. Maxima growled.
"Is that a threat?"
"No, it's a promise"
BM: The challenge has been issued. It's Queen Maxima Vs. the Son Family Matriarch!
JJ: grumbles you and your cliffhangers
BM: What could happen in this fight? You've got to come back next time and find out! Oh, and don't forget to review
