Gohan opened his eyes since he had fallen asleep, he had been in his room most of the time, Batman had told him, he would test Gohan's other abilities when he had more time, he leaned back on his bed and turned on the TV, a women in a purple formal attire was talking, seems a bank robbery was in progress. 'This world seems to have constant problems, just yesterday that metal guy was attacking the place, and that was just one city! I can't believe the crime in this world is crazy, back home crimes were a rarity and if they happened Videl would clean them up pretty easily, and if something big happened, Saiyaman would stop it, but eh most issues came from accidents, I remember catching a airliner once, that was fun…but thinking about it, a airliner is about eighty tonnes…I caught it easily without going super…I must seriously be much weaker than before…oh well doesn't matter to me, back home nearly everyone had an income, the minority would resort to crime' Thought Gohan as his mind drifted back to his destroyed earth, he could only assume it was gone, along with anyway home, he remembered what had happened.
'Beerus and I created a black hole…and I fell in, which means this was the exit of the hole, and finding the white hole that spat me out is quite literally impossible…' thought Gohan as he felt his chest tighten, the thought of not returning home was painful indeed, he would never hear his mother scold him, he would never see his father's carefree smile and naivety but worst of all, he wouldn't see Goten, he loved his little brother and now all of it was…gone, and despite all his power and strength, he wouldn't be able to return home.
Knock knock, Gohan looked to his door before seeing Flash standing there, Gohan slowly got up and opened the door, Flash gave him a smile. "Hey Gohan, Bats wants to finish the testing" Said Flash as Gohan nodded, he walked out and closed the door before following Flash.
'I am tired of fighting…I gave up fighting years ago, I only trained a little for the tournament, I didn't want to disappoint dad…but now…I am so over it' Thought Gohan as he glanced at Flash from behind. 'I was so stupid, I let my saiyan side get the better of myself and now they know how strong I am, I really just want to live a normal life…like mom wanted…how I was going to until Beerus showed up, I was going to settle down with Videl when I worked up the courage to ask her out, I knew she also liked me…but I acted like a teenage boy' thought Gohan before he chuckled a little. 'And I was never happier…if I had to choose between fighting for my life or just growing old without worrying about that…besides I am still strong enough to protect myself' thought Gohan. 'Mom…dad and everyone else would not want me to kill myself with guilt and struggle to get over with everything…if dad's death at the cell games was any indication they would want me to move on…' Thought Gohan as everyone flashed through his mind, if anything he was going to make them proud.
'I won't forget you guys…I promise' Thought Gohan as he smiled fondly to himself, Flash turned around to show Gohan it was in another room, where Flash's treadmill stood, Batman standing there and Wonder Women was there as well along with some guy wearing green.
"Gohan, this treadmill is Flash's, he trains on this thing, it can move to thousands of speeds" Said Batman as Flash nodded.
"Yep it still can't handle my speed though, it's good practice for Supes though" Bragged Flash as Gohan chuckled.
"Ya I'll bet, you moved so fast against that metal guy I didn't even see you" Said Gohan, he half lied, he could see Flash but he did struggle when Flash actually moved a little faster, Flash on the other hand just smirked, of course another titanically strong person couldn't keep track, Wonder Women just smiled at Gohan.
"Keep talking like that and Flash won't be able to run with the size of his head" Said Wonder Women as Flash chuckled.
"Well he isn't lying" Responded Flash as Wonder Women just chuckled.
"Of course, Flash we all know you are the fastest man alive" Said Diana before she suddenly moved at high speed behind Flash would just got a fright when she spoke in front of him.
"But I am pretty fast myself" Said Diana as she started laughing as Flash looked to her.
"Just so we are clear I saw you I was just surprised! That's all!" Said Flash with his finger up.
Gohan was chuckling at the banter, he could tell they were friends, but he was definitely taken back, his power level was still pretty high right now, his body was adjusting to him using his ki again, but he hadn't seen Wonder Women move, she just popped up behind Flash and it honestly gave him more of a fright than Flash who was the one she intended to shock, this world was not short of super powered beings, he briefly wondered what she was truly capable of.
He saw her fight and he knew she was skilled but to what extent?
"Gohan" Batman spoke and Gohan remembered he was here to test his abilities, he figured this one was his speed, but Gohan had already decided he wasn't going to continue fighting, it seemed like he wasn't needed either so he didn't really see it as necessary, if Wonder Women was so strong and this world was still standing, it meant that everyone was safe, plus he had seen Superman on the news, the man's power level wasn't anything great, Wonder Women was far higher, and she was relaxed but the world seemed to acknowledge Superman as it's champion, he realized that when the news reporter referred to him as that, so what made Superman so great? He tucked that thought away for another time, after all he had all the time in the world to question it.
"Come on, we will see how fast you can go" Said Batman. "Step on the treadmill and we will start off slow" Said Batman as Gohan nodded, as far as Gohan could tell, Batman was a above average human, Flash was fast and lots of the other members only had one ability, that gave Gohan an idea.
"Okay lets start" Said Batman as Gohan nodded, the machine started slowly moving at walking pace and Gohan walked and soon he was jogging, before he broke out in a full sprint.
Batman watched as Gohan's face strained and his heart rate picked up and his muscles tensed as his aura burst to life, Flash watched on in disappointment as Wonder Women sighed. "I had a feeling" Said Wonder Women as Batman slowed down the machine.
"Not bad Gohan, you can run around 70 mph, much faster than the average human" Said Batman as Gohan nodded while panting slightly. "Can you increase it further?" Asked Batman. "With your transformations?" Asked Batman as Gohan entered a thinking position.
"I mean I can run somewhat faster if I am at full power, but all that happens is my strength increases, and staying on the ground is much harder, my weight increases the faster I go, so I would probably destroy the streets with my footsteps or start earthquakes" Gohan summed up, he was lying, although no one there knew that, Gohan had no reason to lie. "Once I accidently I did actually, I was in class and I was tapping my foot on the floor, I was worried about my friend who fought crime, she was only human, even though she was one of the strongest humans on earth, I wanted to help but the teacher didn't know about my powers, I was new in town and powers were taboo and a couple seconds later an earthquake measuring 4,5 on the richter scale happened, I can't do that anymore though, I was eleven and much more powerful than I am now" Said Gohan still in thought, he lied about his age but meh, he didn't want them to think he can still cause that kind of catastrophe anymore.
Flash sweatdropped at the mention of his age. "Jeez Gohan, and you say you are only half human? Your other side must be some species…" Said Flash as Wonder women nodded.
"Indeed, you…Saiy-ans…correct?" Asked Wonder Women as Gohan nodded. "Your Saiyan race was quite strong"
Gohan just nodded. "Ya, Saiyans were but none were on my level or my father's or the Prince and his family's level" Said Gohan as Batman looked at Gohan.
"How come?" Asked Batman as Gohan answered nonchalantly.
"Oh we killed them all" Said Gohan as Wonder Women looked at him in shock and Flash's eyes widened which made Gohan realize how that sounded. "Hold on wow that came out wrong, we didn't just kill them for fun" Said Gohan with a sigh and awkward chuckle as Wonder Women looked at him with a hostile expression, he could feel the atmosphere had changed in the room, Batman was staring a hole into his head.
"I know that sounds like we were genocidal murderers, but trust me it wasn't like that, the saiyan race itself was a species that cleared off planets with genocide and sold off the land to the highest bidder, they sent babies to worlds based on the inhabitants power levels, either a third class saiyan would be sent to a world which was earth, earth didn't have very strong people, humans aren't all that strong so a third class infant would be sent" Said Gohan as Wonder Women's hands clenched, he could tell that they didn't agree with the Saiyan culture.
"They sound like space pirates, rob people and sell what isn't theirs to sell" Said Flash as Gohan nodded.
"Trust me, I feel the same way, my father who was born the weakest third class saiyan in saiyan history was sent to earth but honestly if the saiyan race hadn't sent him to earth my life would be very different, actually I wouldn't be here, let me continue, the Saiyan race was very successful in their raids of other worlds, but this caught the attention of a tyrant, he became their employer but soon they were his slaves" Said Gohan with a sigh.
"Geez who would be able to do that?" Asked Flash.
"I told you guys, Frieza he did, but he became scared of the Saiyan race in fear of the legend of the Legendary Super Saiyan born once every millennium, so he blew up the saiyan planet, only a handful were off world at the time" Said Gohan.
"And one of them was your father correct?" Asked Batman as Gohan nodded.
"Yes from what I heard, my father's pod crashed in the mountains close to my grandfather's home, he found him but he was unruly and wild, he was taken in by my grandfather, Son Gohan" Said Gohan as Flash looked to him in confusion.
"Isn't that you?" Asked Flash.
"No, I was just named after him, my father wanted to honor him, but ya he took in my father and raised him for a baby my father was unnaturally strong plus he had a tail that resembled that of a monkey" Said Gohan as Flash peeked behind Gohan but Gohan just chuckled. "No I had mine removed it was too dangerous to have" Said Gohan as Batman nodded.
"Makes sense, you would be recognized as an alien with it" Said Batman as Gohan shook his head.
"No that wasn't the reason, I will get to that just now, anyways unfortunately my father as a baby of a few months was too wild, but a days later while walking over a ravine my father's wild behavior caused him to fall into it and hit his head" Said Gohan as Flashed winced.
"Ouch, and he was a baby still, he must have been some baby" Said Flash as Gohan laughed.
"Oh yes, as far as I know my dad was born on Planet Vegeta, which is the saiyan home world's name, the gravity there is ten times earths so ya he was very dense, but ya he nearly died and fell into a coma, but he didn't die and that was strange because usually babies that young can die if the mom drops the child a couple feet off the ground not nearly fifty feet high, so after a couple weeks he woke up and apparently my dad was happy go lucky, he became a really kind and naïve, you couldn't find someone more innocent" Said Gohan the last part came off more quiet than it should have.
"Ya he grew up in the mountains before he met Bulma, she was the first person he met and the one that set everything into motion, if he never met her, he would have stayed in the mountains his entire life, but she was looking for the Dragon Balls" Said Gohan.
"The Dragons what!?" Asked Flash as Gohan laughed again.
"Everyone always has that response, no it's not like that, they are seven magical orbs that when gathered can grant any wish, the eternal dragon Shenron would appear out of the balls and ask for any wish be it good or evil" Said Gohan as Flash looked at him not sure how to process that, actually everyone did. "Believe me or not guys, Shenron is real, I have seen him, even wished from him, we brought back everyone that died when we fought one of the major threats to earth, after all Shenron wasn't a toy, finding him is supposed to take a life time" Said Gohan as Batman spoke.
"Sounds like a really nice fairy tale doesn't it" Said Flash as Wonder Women nodded.
"Indeed" Answered Wonder Women, Batman ignored their comments and asked a real question.
"Then how did you use him multiple times?" Asked Batman as Gohan spoke.
"I will get to that in a little while as well. But Bulma being the heiress to the biggest corporation in the world didn't need money or fame, she was already a part of the richest family in the world, what she wanted was a boyfriend!" Chuckled Gohan as Wonder Women just shook her head in disappointment.
"For all the things, you can ask for a boyfriend would not be one of them, I am sure she should have had a mountain of boys lining up to date her" Said Wonder Women as Flash snickered.
"Unless she looked like rumpelstiltskin" Joked Flash as Wonder Women jabbed him in the ribs earning a ouch from him.
"Oh no, Bulma was sixteen and she was beautiful, the problem was no one wanted her for her, it was more of a trophy thing, everyone wanted a trophy girlfriend, dating her could land you in the richest family in the world after all" Said Gohan as Batman nodded, he could understand that.
"She was also the daughter of the smartest man in the world, and trust me Bulma in terms of intelligence overtook the man very quickly and created the Dragon Radar, it could locate the magic the Dragon Balls emitted and that answers your one question of how we kept finding the Dragon Balls, which her father couldn't do, she was fifteen when she made it and she set off looking for them, a story for another time though, she drove over my father accidently in the mountains while he was dragging his dinner home, he picked up the car and tossed it to the side with her in it, he didn't know what a car was so he called it a monster and wanted to fight it" Laughed Gohan fondly, the league members could see when he was told the story it was either by this Bulma person or by his father, who knew it could have been both for all they knew.
"So she saw him and was scared out of her mind by the boy with the tail and the dead giant fish behind him and with the fact that he threw the car with her in it, she pulled out her gun and fired it and shot him in the head" Said Gohan as Flash's mouth dropped.
"She shot a boy in the head" Said Wonder Women. "You sure she was smart?" Asked Wonder Women.
"Well either way my dad fell over and Bulma realized she shot a child in the head and panicked until said child groaned and said ouch that hurt, safe to say Bulma fired the gun until it ran out of ammo, my father was yelling in pain before telling her to stop, which she finally did, but ya she wondered why he was living alone in the mountains, turns out my father thought a monster had killed grandpa Gohan while he was asleep, unfortunately years later he found out it was actually him that killed Grand pa" Said Gohan as Batman narrowed his eyes.
"How?" Asked Batman.
"And now to answer your question, the saiyan race sent infants to planets because the saiyan race babies were capable of it once they grew older but the process would be sped up when they look at a full moon, the light would cause the infants or adults to grow into nearly hundred meter tall giant apes and it increased their power by tenfold, that's how the saiyan race won the civil war on planet vegeta, the one night that only came around once every fifteen years, a full moon on planet plant aka planet vegeta, it originally belonged to the Tuffles and so the Saiyans could finally get through and turn the tide, the Tuffles were wiped out in a couple hours" Said Gohan as Batman nodded.
"Ya so after my father went through his adventure with Bulma he started formal martial arts training under master Roshi, the greatest martial artist on earth who lived alone on a island in the middle of the ocean but ya the whole story of my father is really really long so I will save that for some other time" Said Gohan as Flash just grinned.
"Well you better tell me sometime, I mean I found this little bit interesting so I would like to know more!" Said Flash as Gohan just grinned.
"Sure!" Said Gohan as Batman just looked to Gohan.
"Okay, but you were still telling us why you weren't genocidal murderers" Said Batman as Gohan nodded.
"Oh yes, my uncle came to earth when I was three years old and to his surprise the earth was still full of life, so he found my father who at this stage had settled down, he was already the strongest man on earth which wasn't saying much honestly, his power level at that time was somewhere in the three hundreds I think, the Z-Fighters were still developing but most were there, but my uncle showed up and he defeated my father easily but before that he enlightened everyone about my father's saiyan heritage, he took me and gave my father a ultimatum, either join him or die, if he wanted to join, he would need to kill a hundred people and pile their bodies in front of my uncle and then they would destroy earth before leaving, my father knew he stood no chance against my uncle but knew he would never kill innocent people so he was about to rush to me to try and save me, his greatest enemy the son of the Demon King Piccolo, who was also named Piccolo told my father he would be slaughtered if he tried to fight Raditz…my uncle, so they teamed up just five years before my father fought Piccolo and stopped him from taking over earth, Piccolo only fought with my dad because Raditz stood in the way of world domination, so they went and they fought, they struggled but after a long battle where my father held raditz in a full nelson, Piccolo blasted a hole through both their chests, it was a sacrifice my father was will to make so I could live on, that was the first time I lost my father" Said Gohan.
"Ya we thought we were saved but then we found out from Raditz's dying breath that two more saiyans were coming and they were far stronger than Raditz, safe to say we were terrified, Raditz was one of the weakest saiyans next to my father and the Prince was coming and he was a Elite saiyan warrior compared to the third class Raditz was, and his royal guard Nappa who was the General of the Saiyan Army, safe to say we felt overwhelmed but during the fight with Raditz I displayed a lot of power at the sight of my father being tortured, I was the only one out of the three of us that landed a direct hit on Raditz, safe to say my father was shocked, he couldn't touch Raditz but I did it in my first hit and I really hurt Raditz so ya Raditz was going to kill me" Laughed Gohan as Flash sweatdropped.
"But ya since we knew the Prince was coming we had no choice, the moment they landed South City was reduced to nothing, the general was bored so he destroyed it, at this stage everyone we encountered could destroy planets with their finger tips and so we held them off as long as we could while we waited for my dad" Said Gohan.
"Remember I said you can wish people back? My father in otherworld which is the land of the dead, he was given a body because he knew earth's god who is Kami, he trained my father for a few years to stop Piccolo from taking over earth, but now in otherworld Kami had to ask King Yamma, the demon who judges souls once they died and kami asked yamma to let my father travel snake way which leads to King Kai, who was a low level god to be trained by him, Yamma wasn't sure because snake way is narrow and if you fall off you go directly to hell and my father was supposed to go to heaven but my father asked as well because he knew that the earth was still in danger, so Yamma allowed it, it took my father three months to cross snake way, and when he reached it he and King Kai met and became friends and so King Kai trained him and ya long story short after nearly a year my father had to come back to help deal with the Saiyans, but King Kai didn't think of how long it would take my father to cross snake way so my father now had to rush all the way back to the check in station and let Kami send him back to earth, it took him nearly a entire day to reach us, safe to say he moped the floor with the general in like three hits he had maimed the general, the prince saw the general as useless and killed him after my father spared him and offered them the chance to leave but Vegeta just couldn't he was much stronger than the general, my dad won the fight but Vegeta could transform into the giant ape with a technique he learned, he could create a artificial moon, he changed and he beat my dad but things happened and Vegeta's tail was cut off" Said Gohan as Flash winced.
"Yep in the end when Vegeta was out of energy and broken on the floor next to my dad, his friend Krillin took a sword and was about to kill Vegeta for the death and destruction he cause on earth and all the friends he had killed but my father didn't want Vegeta to die, he told us to let Vegeta go and so Krillin let him go, he promised he would deal with Vegeta if he ever returned" Said Gohan as Batman nodded.
"Your father sounds very noble" Said Wonder Women.
"Ya he didn't like killing even if it meant saving the earth, I mean he even spared Frieza's life after frieza completed genocide on another world and killed Krillin my father's best friend, he told frieza to change his ways and left the dying world that frieza blasted to destroy" Sighed Gohan.
"Ya so every Saiyan we met wanted to destroy earth or something and we couldn't sit by while it happened, usually entire worlds depended on the results of the fights, but my father never really killed anyone, he defeated them sure but other's like Piccolo and Vegeta did the dirty work, one time I had to kill someone after my father sacrificed himself because of my arrogance, you saw my Super Saiyan power and how I change" Said Gohan as Batman nodded, he saw the arrogant look.
"Ya if I didn't defeat Cell, the solar system was going up in fireworks, Cell just happened to be behind the blast, it was definitely hard, my second hardest fight" Said Gohan with a sad sigh.
Batman nodded, he heard all he needed to hear. "Well do you have any other abilities?" Asked Batman as Gohan nodded.
"Yep, I can project my energy like so" Said Gohan as he created a small weak ki ball in his hand before floating off the ground. "I can also fly" Said Gohan. "I can fly much faster than I can run, I can break the sound barrier" Said Gohan there was no point in lying about that, he just needed to make them think he was super strong, but all his other areas were weak.
"Alright then" Said Batman. "That's all then" Gohan nodded, Flash and Wonder Women were really into his story though he could tell, they had absorbed all the information, maybe better than batman did.
"You gotta tell me some stories Gohan" Said Flash as Wonder Women nodded.
"Indeed, the heroic deeds of your father sound quite astonishing!" Said Wonder Women as Gohan just blushed lightly at the praise of his father, he nodded before batman spoke.
"The League Trials will be happening in a days time Gohan, if you would like, I can have you enter as a late entry, although most of the trials are over, you sound like you can handle it, the last trial is Trial by combat if you want to join, just impress the core members and we will let you know if you can join" Said Batman as Flash just grinned.
"Ya man, you already have my vote, but at the Trial, all the core members will be there, Martial Manhunter, Me" Grinned Flash before pointing to Wonder Women and Batman. "Those two, Superman, Cyborg, Shazam and Green Lantern, at least six need to want you in the league and definitely Batman" Said Flash as Wonder Women nodded.
Gohan chuckled. "As fun as that sounds, I think I will say no, don't get me wrong, I just don't want ti fight anymore, before my most recent fight I was going to settle down and I can't settle down and live normally if I had duties like yours" Said Gohan sheepishly, Flash looked disappointed and Batman was indifferent but you could tell he was somewhat disappointed, Wonder Women just sighed.
"Oh well, I hope the life of normality is was makes you happy Gohan" Said Wonder Women as Batman spoke.
"Okay, but if that's what you choose you cannot stay here as I am sure you have assumed" Said Batman as Gohan nodded. "I will help get you a ID so you can join society, but you need qualifications in order to get a job" Said Batman as Gohan nodded.
"That's not a problem, I had nearly three PHD's in my world, I am sure I can make it, the history I will have to catch up on though" Said Gohan as Batman nodded.
"I will have the tests set up after your ID is ready" Said Batman.
"It will all be ready in about a week" Said Batman as Gohan nodded.
"Oh well, Gohan I will keep in touch though, I still want to hear those stories, not everyday you meet someone from another dimension" Said Flash as Gohan chuckled.
"Sure Flash" Said Gohan.
"Call me Barry, all my friends do" Said Barry as Gohan nodded. "Anyways, tonight I will show you the night life in metropolis!" Said Flash as he and Gohan walked away, Gohan laughing a couple seconds away.
"It is a shame, he could have been a valuable teammate and it would be reassuring to have someone as strong as Superman" Said Wonder Women as Batman nodded.
"Time will only tell if he decides to change his mind" Said Batman as he walked out leaving Wonder Women to her own thoughts, she also left afterwards.
Well there you go guys! I also want to clear up this, I will be using my own made up versions of them all, they will still be like the originals, but their limits will be made by me, anyways I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, as you can see Gohan won't be starting out by joining the league the moment he is dropped in the DC universe, it will be a build-up, but he will join the league don't worry, I have my own plans for the story! Just stay tuned! Oh and I don't proof read, I just type and when I am done I post! So if you want to be the one who makes it look all nice and shiny, drop me a PM, I will pick it up and let you know if you can beta for me, I am very picky so please don't be offended if I don't choose you.
