The growing crowd of observers gasped as the Saiyan just kept eating, it had been nearly an hour and he was inhaling food at a pace that was just quite frankly disgusting, Flash had stopped eating about twenty minutes ago but the young demi god just kept on eating.
"You sure know how to pack food away don't you?" Said Flash as Gohan chuckled as he briefly stopped.
"My species functions by eating and regaining our energy, once I am full and a good amount of sleep will bring me back to 100% right now…" Said Gohan as he felt his energy reserves. "I am have about 15% of my actual strength maybe less" Said Gohan as Flash just soaked in the information, the other leaguers were just watching and listening to him.
As each plate was finished a robot would just carry the plates back to the kitchen, one particular robot walked up to Flash. "Food reserves at 67%" As Flash nodded, he had a feeling the food supply would drastically drop after seeing Gohan devour his food at speed similar to him, the other leaguers just watched on in horror and disgust as food just disappeared. "Wow Gohan, you dropped the Watch Tower's food reserves by 20% you just ate through four weeks of food" Said Flash with a sweatdrop as Gohan gave him a look that said really?
"Usually I don't eat this much, but I have been asleep for a long long time" Said Gohan as Flash sighed.
"When will you be done? You have been sitting and eating for like an hour?" Said a girl with a bat costume, Gohan looked to her before leaning back and sighing with satisfaction. "Now…" As he relaxed his muscles.
Flash just sighed as he motioned for Gohan to follow him down the hall, which he did.
The rest of the leaguers were still wondering how and why this person was in the watch tower. "Does anyone know who that is?" Asked Batgirl before a girl that was dressed like a magician spoke.
"Apparently he has been here for nearly a year" Said Zatanna as Batgirl shook her head.
"That can't be possible…none of us has seen him before, maybe he is here for the League Trials" Said Batgirl as Zatanna shrugged.
"Neither have I, but that's all Flash told me, he could be here for the trials but aren't the trials nearly done the last trial by combat is in like two days" Said Zatanna as Batgirl just stared at the retreating figures of the Flash and the mystery guy.
A girl with a busty bosom and a figure hugging, leg-baring, long sleeved white leotard with skin tight with an opening in the chest revealing the top of her busty chest. "Does it really matter who he is?" Said Power Girl as she shrugged.
"He doesn't seem all that strong to me" Said Power Girl as Supergirl spoke.
"You don't seem all that strong either but we all know otherwise" Said Kara as Power Girl just shrugged.
"Whatever" As she turned and walked away. "Even if he is strong i doubt he can match me" Said Power Girl as Supergirl just sighed.
"That's probably true…" Said Zatanna as Wonder woman just walked past.
"You all waste time talking about someone you don't know" Said Wonder woman as Supergirl shrugged.
"We are curious" Said Batgirl as Wonder Woman smiled.
"You can say he is here for the trials, he was handpicked by Batman" Said Wonder Women as Barbara's eyes widened along with everyone else's. Barbara wondered why briefly before Wonder Women spoke. "But there is still a chance he will be turned away" Said Wonder Women as she just walked away.
"Well no point in speculating, if he is joining the league we will eventually know more" Said Barbara as she also vanished down the hall, soon everyone just split up as well.

Gohan put his head down on the pillow in his room, Flash had showed him the room and left, telling him to enjoy his sleep and the kitchen was always open.
'Can't believe I am stuck…I have to find a way back…I just have too' Thought Gohan as he clenched his fist and looked at the alarm clock. "5:09 PM…its late in the afternoon…" Mumbled Gohan as he turned in his bed, Beerus filling his mind, with earths defenders gone, the planet was either gone or most of its people dead from the cat god, but Gohan somehow felt like the Destroyer wouldn't take pleasure in just mercilessly slaughtering people, he seemed more of a 'Blow up the world and be done with it' kind of guy, earth had to be long gone by now…he clenched his fist and thought of his family…thought of Videl…he and her were just starting to get along she was his first friend his age, he also kind of liked the girl, I mean who wouldn't, she didn't take jack shit from no one…even Vegeta. Gohan chuckled at that as a lone tear slid down his face.
She was fierce and had the drive to want to fight and get stronger, Gohan wasn't really much a fighter but his saiyan blood was drawn to her drive and it made him like her spirit and tenacity more than he cared to admit.
Sighing he just layed with his back on the bed staring at the ceiling, there was no use in thinking about it now, the earths dragon was gone and he had no idea where the Namekians were, he could also try and get a hold of King Kai and ask where they were located but right now King Kai along with everything else he cared about was in another world…dead.
Gohan never even knew it but he had fallen asleep, a soft snore could be heard as the saiyan was unconscious.

Batman stared at his screen that showed the Saiyan asleep as Flash spoke. "You either see something in him or you want to have him locked up, I hope it isn't the latter, he seems like a nice guy" Said Flash as Batman grunted as he walked away.
"Well you don't have to tell me" Said Flash sarcastically as Superman walked in.
"I am with you on this one Barry" Said Superman as Flash just sighed. "Either way, we will know what he is capable of tomorrow" Said Superman as the watch tower's alarms sounded off, Batman was already back and gave Flash a fright.
After typing and checking he saw the problem. "Metallo…" Said Batman as Superman clenched his fists.
"Doesn't he ever learn" Said Flash as Superman was about to turn and leave but Batman stopped him.
"You can't go Clark" Said Batman as Superman was about to say something but Diana cut him off.
"Then I shall, there is no way Metallo's Kryptonite can affect me" Said Wonder Women as Batman nodded.
"Flash you go with and evacuate civilians who might be in danger, the other core members are already busy otherwise I would have sent more, GL is nearly done with his mission, if he is done and Metallo is still a problem I will send him" Said Batman as Flash nodded and Diana walked away, Clark just stood there a little angry but he agreed, he would become a liability in the face of Metallo, Gohan turned around the corner and walked past Diana and Barry as they headed to the invisible jet before flying away and into earth.
"I saw red flashing lights…what's going?" Asked Gohan as Superman spoke.
"A villain is destroying the south district of Metropolis, Wonder Women and Flash have gone to stop him" Said Superman as Batman just continued staring at the screen, Gohan nodded and watched the screen which displayed Metallo about to destroy a car before a blur of gold and red knocked the Metal man back on his ass.
XXXXX
"Flash!" Said Metallo as he got back up. "I am surprised to see you here, is Super-bitch to scared to face me?" Asked Metallo as Wonder Women landed behind him and kicked him on his back blasting the metal man forward, he smashed into a building before he stood up unscathed.
"Is that all?" Asked Metallo as Wonder Women smirked.
"Seems you have gotten stronger metal man" Said Wonder Women as Metallo smirked.
"Well of course, upgrades were in order, right now the only thing that can tear me apart is nothing short of god himself" Said Metallo as Flash spoke.
"Never took you for a religious guy" Said Flash as Metallo scoffed.
"Who said I was?" As his arm morphed into a gun before firing off energy bolts of energy, Flash dodged them before running up and punching the metal man before howling in pain. "The same attack doesn't work on me" Said Metallo as he looked at Flash. "I upgrade as I fight now…my abilities have been improved upon" Said Metallo as Wonder women rushed him and punched him in the face, before Metallo would be blasted back into a building. Flash grinned before speaking to Diana.
"Well you have things under control here" Said Flash as he sped around the district looking for people and evacuating them.
"Okay…I won't lie…I felt that one, for a women you punch nearly as hard as Superman" Said Metallo as Wonder Women was already upon him.
"Who said I was TRYING!" Exclaimed Wonder Women as she threw another punch that made Metallo bend over before she brought down her elbow on his back effectively smacking him face flat on the concrete creating spider web cracks on the ground, Metallo groaned as he tried to get up but Wonder Women pulled her fist back and decked him across the face with enough force to shatter the windows of the buildings around her, the ground trembled as Metallo fell face first into the ground unconscious.
Flash sped up next to her before grinning. "Guess you didn't need my help" Said Flash as Wonder Women just smiled.
"You saved the lives of those in the car he was about to destroy and evacuated everyone in immediate danger I wasn't fast enough but you were, you helped stop Metallo as much as I" Said Wonder Women as Flash just smiled bashfully.
"I guess you are right" Said Flash as Wonder Women wrapped Metallo in her lasso before the police showed up, they restrained him and took him into custody before the two league members headed back to the jet.

Gohan watched the fight and was impressed with Wonder Women's strength, he could feel her power level all the way up in the watch tower, she was definitely strong and she didn't look serious either, he could tell she was a warrior, Flash was just very fast as far as Gohan could tell, he sensed them dock back on the watch Tower before returning to Batman and Superman.
"Great job Flash, Wonder Women" Said Superman as Flash nodded and Wonder Women just smiled before Gohan spoke.
"Wow your form was amazing, you are a warrior I can tell" Said Gohan as Wonder Women nodded before looking to Gohan.
"I take it you have rested?" Said Wonder Women as Gohan nodded.
"Yes a little, I am still not at 100% but this is a good spot I guess, I would say I am about at 35%" Said Gohan as examined himself.
"Will you be able to do a preliminary testing of your abilities?" Asked Batman as Gohan nodded.
"Yes I will" Said Gohan as Batman nodded. "Alright then, follow me, for now we will just test how strong you are" Said Batman as he walked, Flash, Wonder Women and Superman looked at each other before following, they were curious of what Gohan was capable of, when they saw him he was radiating power but right now he felt and looked like a civilian.
As Gohan walked behind Batman they passed quite a few members and a lot saw the core members escort the demi saiyan to the training arena, the young justice group was in the training arena and Supergirl and Power Girl were fighting each other when the saiyan walked in and noticed them in the air with scrapes and bruises, Supergirl sporting more than Power Girl, Zatanna talking with the young justice group and Batgirl following Batman after she saw Gohan behind him.
Everyone noticed the demi saiyan and stopped what they were doing, most of them were wondering who he was and curiosity got the better of them and they watched as Gohan walked up to a weight lifting machine, the members who had seen Gohan with Flash were now sure they were going to see why Batman hand picked him and they all came closer and watched.
When Gohan walked in he saw quite a few people in the training area and it got him nervous, he wasn't expecting all these people, he watched as they all followed out of curiosity and he couldn't blame them, technically he couldn't blame them he was a stranger in their base after all.
"Alright Gohan, we will start with a simple test of strength" Said Batman as he tapped on the control bar and reduced the weight to nothing and motioned for Gohan to stand under the block which he did, to him the block was weightless.
"Is this supposed to be heavy?" Asked Gohan as Power Girl spoke.
"Only if you are weak" Gohan looked to her before blushing a little, he realized that this didn't weigh much, probably about ten kilograms.
"Alright Gohan we will increase the weight to one hundred kilos, tell me if you start to feel it push down on you" Said Batman as Power Girl scoffed when Gohan suddenly buckled under the weight.
"Woah you weren't kidding the weight did increase" Said Gohan as Batman and quite a few of the league looked a tad disappointed at his limit.
"So this is your limit then" Said Batman as he was about to lower the weight but Gohan chuckled with a light blush.
"This makes no sense Gohan, does your abilities only increase when you turn into a god?" Asked Wonder Women as this caught everyone elses attention, Batman was also listening he was surprised to see the saiyan buckle, he still very clearly remembered the pressure he felt around the demi god.
"Wait god?" Asked Supergirl as Wonder Women nodded.
"Yes when we found Gohan here, he was…lets say more powerful than this" Said Wonder Women as Power Girl scoffed.
"Can't be that much stronger if he struggles with one hundred kilos" Said Power Girl, she was being mean but it was true
"Sorry I am not at full strength but I wasn't prepared, I need to increase my strength, I am far from my full power, I just wasn't sure how everyone would react, I mean a couple saw a piece of my power but that was a piece" Said Gohan as he just sighed.
Batman just spoke. "Don't worry about them Gohan, all you need to do is give us an accurate example of your strength regardless of whether they are here" Said Batman as Gohan nodded before he looked to them.
"Alright, you all might want to take a step back, it might take a short while, I haven't accessed my power in nearly a year" Said Gohan as everyone but the heavy hitters moved, Gohan crouched with the block over his head before he started to yell. "HAAAAAAA!" Everyone watched for a couple seconds before wondering has he lost his mind before the ground started to spark and a small breeze picked up before a white flame aura burst to life with a bright light and the tower started to vibrate as the temperature raised in the area, all the weaker members had to cover their eyes.
A couple seconds later Gohan stood with his aura calmly licking his body and he had a very serious expression on his face as he stared at his hands in frustration.
"Seems I can't really dig much deeper…I will have to push harder for more power" Mumbled Gohan to himself, everyone could see he now held the hundred kilos with his one hand above his head, he had an unsatisfied expression.
"Is this all?" Asked Batman as Gohan shook his head.
"No seems I have to charge my power in pieces, I can't just jump to full power, I am around 15% of my complete full power" Said Gohan as he clenched his fist. Barbara looked at him in awe, he was anywhere near his full power but she could practically taste his power.
"Alright, seems we might take a little longer than expected" Said Batman as he doubled the hundred kilos and Gohan looked to him with a smile.
"So when will you increase it again?" Asked Gohan still holding it with his index finger.
"Okay, I am moving it to one tonne, Superman be ready to catch it" Said Batman as Superman nodded and Gohan just smirked, his saiyan blood wanted to also test the limits of his strength now.
Gohan felt an increase but he never should any visible reaction, Superboy watched with a slight amount of irritation, who was this guy and how was he so strong, clearly he wasn't Kryptonian, yet he could carry half of superboy's max with one finger.
Superman watched with growing interest along with everyone. "Okay two tonnes" Said Batman as he doubled it.
Gohan felt his finger bend before he grinned as he dropped it off his finger and onto his hand. "Okay that was a bigger increase then I thought" Said Gohan casually, Batman nodded before saying.
"Four tonnes" As the weight increased and Gohan looked to his left him, he never felt anything.
"Wow I always wondered how much weight I could handle, this is a good test, I haven't trained in about eight years so I expect it won't be as much as before" Said Gohan as Batman spoke.
"Eight tonnes" Again Gohan just sighed and felt a small amount of pressure on his one hand.
"Wow I guess he is stronger then he looks right Power Girl?" Said Kara as Power Girl continued watching, she wasn't worried she could lift nearly ten thousand tonnes at full strength and this guy was still far from that.
"Still a weakling" Said Power Girl as Flash chuckled before looking to Superman and whispering.
"Thinks she feels threatened by Gohan?" Asked Flash as Superman looked to him he looked to Power Girl seeing her look at them and he smiled before looking to Flash.
"You know she can hear you right?" Said Superman as Flash paled which caused him to look at Power Girl and waved awkwardly who just glared at him before looking back to Gohan.
"Sixteen tonnes" Said Batman as Gohan felt his arm buckle but he could still hold it up with noticeable effort.
"See weakling" Said Power Girl as Gohan just chuckled.
'She reminds me of Videl…' Thought the Saiyan as he raised his other hand and the weight felt a lot lighter.
"Can you continue?" Asked Batman as Gohan nodded. "Okay I won't be doubling the weight anymore" Said Batman as Gohan nodded.
"Thirty tonness" Said Batman as Gohan felt it push down on him, his knees buckled but he kept it up.
"Forty tonnes" Said Batman as Gohan felt the thing really bring down the weight which caused him to drop to his knee and struggle to push up, it took him a couple seconds but he could finally lift it and stand straight.
Gohan sighed sadly. "Man my base can only handle forty tonnes and I am struggling, dad could hold forty on each limb before needing to transform" Said Gohan as Batman raised a eyebrow in question which Gohan noticed.
"Ya my father like I said was the strongest" Said Gohan sadly as Power Girl scoffed.
"He couldn't have been, I can lift close to ten thousand tonnes so you are still far below me" Said Power Girl as Gohan looked at her angrily.
"You don't know anything" Said Gohan as he crouched Power Girl was about to give him a piece of her mind but stopped when electricity sparked off him again. "Here goes nothing, this might take some time…bare with me, its been a while" Said Gohan as he grunted before yelling again.
His white flame like aura burst to life again and the watch tower started to shake again slightly as electricity sparked off him.
"What is he doing now!?" Yelled Power Girl over the roaring sound of his aura.
Gohan's hair to everyone's amazement flashed gold, and his pupils flashed teal before disappearing, his t shirt bulged before tearing apart at his body mass increase, his muscles were sculpted down to precision as his white aura turned gold and his body started to steam from the heat it was putting off and with one final push the demi saiyan ascended and the watch tower shook a little harder before it calmed down, when everyone looked at Gohan he now donned brilliant golden glowing hair that spiked up with one bang over his eye, his black eyes now a bright teal color and electricity sparking off him.
The girls blushed at the sight of him and his upper torso and he now looked like a god, the pressure in the room was also a lot heavier.
"Is this what you meant by a god?" Asked Supergirl as Superman shook his head.
"No we never saw this…but when we saw him he looked different" Said Batman as he made a mental note of it.
Gohan smirked as he dropped his arm again before lifting it on his finger. "It has definitely been a while since I used this form" Said Gohan.
"Is this everything?" Asked Batman as Gohan smirked cockily.
"Not even close, in this form everything of mine gets boosted by 5000%" Said Gohan as Batman nodded, if he was shocked he didn't show it as Wonder Women just looked on in wonder.
"By hera you have all this power within you?" Asked Wonder Women as Gohan nodded.
"To be accurate this is the tip of the ice berg" Said Gohan as Flash looked to Superman.
"Looks like he is slowly showing all his strength" As Superman nodded, he didn't show it but he was very impressed, he still felt he was stronger though although Superman could lift close to forty two thousand tonnes when serious.
Power Girl blushed at his body before she scoffed, to her right now he was super attractive but she wouldn't let him know that. "Still a weakling" Said Power Girl as Gohan chuckled.
"Alright Gohan I am to increase the weight to eight hundred tonnes" Said Batman as Flash looked at him like he was crazy.
"Eight hundred!? You wanna crush him to death?" Asked Flash as Batman shrugged, by my calculations if Gohan is correct this should be childs play to him if it really did increase his strength by 5000%" Said Batman as he increased it and Gohan still held it up with one arm smirking all the while, his Super Saiyan nature making him feel cocky.
"One thousand six hundred tonnes" Said Batman as Gohan caught it with both arms before whistling.
"That was close, but I think my limit in this form would be two thousand tonnes" Said Gohan as Batman nodded and increased it to two thousand tonnes before Gohan buckled and held onto the weight visibly struggling. "Yep…definitely two thousand tonnes" Said Gohan as he held on to the weight.
"See still much weaker than me, for all the flashy lights, he isn't all that strong, technically if he is a god, I am a much stronger goddess" Bragged Power Girl as Supergirl just sighed, she could lift six thousand tonnes or at least around that area so two thousand wasn't all that great but for another species she guess it was quite a feat.
"Is that all Gohan?" Asked Batman as Gohan just chuckled.
"Nope, by now you should have known that" Said Gohan as he dug deep again. "Remember I said I can only transform in pieces" Said Gohan with one heavy violent push he transformed into Super Saiyan two, his hair spiking more and his eyes no longer cocky but cold jade and his body increasing slightly in mass, around him static electricity kept buzzing, waiting to shock anyone too close.
"This is my ascended form, I have been gathering energy to transform" Said Gohan his voice deeper and rougher as he relaxed and just looked to batman and spoke. "Just double the weight of this" Said Gohan as the weight increased and he held onto it, he was visibly making a effort.
"Four thousand tonnes" Said Batmen.
"Alright? Is this everything?" Asked Batman.
Flash just shook his head, everyone was wondering did he have more power hidden especially Power Girl, he kept on bringing more and more power.
Gohan shook his head and everyone kind of felt like they knew he was going to say no. "Do you have to do this everytime you want to power up to a higher state? Most villains would end you while you try and power up" Said Wonder Women as Power Girl just smirked.
"Well no, I just haven't accessed my power in a while so I seem to only be able to transform piece by piece, I guess after this I will be able to just jump to max power instantly" Said Gohan as Wonder Women nodded and Power Girl's smirk disappeared.
"That's good, otherwise you would be a sitting duck" Said Wonder Women as Gohan nodded.
"Hold on this one is especially difficult to transform into" Said Gohan as he started to power up and his aura burst to life, after a couple seconds his hair turned black and his eyes turned black too, he actually grew in height by almost a full foot before his aura turned white and he stood before he smiled.
"Now that feels good! Finally back to full power" Said Gohan as he just cracked his neck, to everyone else he looked normal.
"Okay! Now I am curious on what I can hold while like this!" Said Gohan as he looked to Batman.
"Double the weight to eight thousand" Said Gohan as Batman nodded.
Gohan just grinned as he felt no increase in weight before lifting it by one hand. "Feels good to be back at full power!" Said Gohan as he looked to Batman. "Okay double that to sixteen thousand" Said Gohan as Power Girl spoke.
"There is no way you can handle that!" Said Power Girl, if he could lift it, she would be the third strongest person in the watch tower. Batman nodded and increased it, Gohan felt the weight increase on his finger before dropping it on his hand.
"And there goes that, seems he is stronger than you Power Girl" Said Supergirl as Karen glared at her.
"Okay now I will increase it to twenty five thousand tonnes Gohan, think you can handle that?" Asked Batman as Gohan nodded, Batman looked to Superman, the look told him Gohan is nearly at superman's his max strength.
Gohan buckled as he caught the block but shrugged. "I can still lift it" Said Gohan as he demonstrated by pushing it up and letting it come down repeatedly, the leaguers were becoming nervous, Gohan was approaching Superman's strength limit, forty two thousand.
"Okay up it too forty thousand!" Said Gohan as Batman hesitated, if Gohan can hold this that would put him close to Superman, a bit too close.
Gohan's knees buckled as the weight increased and it brought him too his knees, he struggled before he could slowly push it up nearly a minute later.
"Okay that's my limit!" Said Gohan as Batman removed the weight.
Wonder women spoke still curious. "Gohan mind explaining what the red form is for?" Asked Wonder Women as Batman looked to Gohan, that's right, Gohan hadn't shown that form, did that mean he still had more power?
Gohan nervous shrugged. "That power is too great for me to control properly, the time you saw me was the first time I used it, I only used to fight Beerus the Destroyer God, but it seems to have vanished, I mean I can feel traces of it but getting it back will require training" Said Gohan as Wonder Women nodded, everyone else was thinking how was this guy so strong.
"You mean you have another transformation?" Asked Barbara as Wonder Women nodded.
"Yes, we first saw Gohan when we were out in space, his hair was glowing red and he was fighting someone, the result of their fight ripped open a hole in his dimension and ours" Said Superman.
Gohan nodded. "Ya it is supposed to be the pinnacle of Saiyan power, the Super Saiyan God, that is when I truly ascend to godhood" Said Gohan as most nodded with bewildered faces.
"But how did you become so strong?" Asked Kara as everyone listened.
"I trained…believe it or not I was just a little stronger than the average human when I was three, but things happened and I have been fighting my entire life to defend my home, and each threat was much stronger than the last so we had to become strong as well" Said Gohan, a thought occurred and someone asked.
Beast boy who was listening asked. "Yo bro, you mentioned a Destro-something god" Said Beast Boy as star fire spoke.
"Did you defeat the god of the destroying?" Asked Starfire innocently, Gohan's face became downcast as he looked to Batman before dropping all his power and returning to base.
"Batman sir, I will continue tomorrow" Said Gohan as he walked away, Robin wanted to yell at Gohan and make him answer but Batman shook his head as Gohan disappeared into the hallway.
"To answer your question, starfire, no Gohan couldn't stop the Destroyer God, it killed his family before forcing him out of his dimension and has probably already destroyed his earth, what Gohan has told us, the Destroyer destroyers worlds" Said Batman as everyone was silent, starfire felt a little sad for asking him.
Power Girl calmed down at the mentioned of it, she could relate, her world was also gone and she couldn't go back but she wasn't about to let that stop her from being better than him.
"Show is over everyone get back to work" Said Batman as everyone slowly scattered everyone talking about it. "And don't tell anyone of this" Said Batman as they all nodded.
XXXXX
Gohan layed on his bed, his mind trailed back to his family, he missed them already. 'I have to find a way back' Thought Gohan.
Okay guys Base Gohan can lift 40 tonnes, super saiyan Gohan can lift 2,000 tonnes and super saiyan two can lift twice the weight which is 4,000 if you can do the math please do, and mystic form times gohan's super saiyan two power by 10, so he can lift 40,000 tonnes
