On their way back Gohan was silently wondering what this new power was that Goku wanted to show him.
"Say dad…" Asked Gohan, his father turned to him. "What is this other power you said you wanted to show me?" Asked Gohan.
"Oh, that I have to show you in person to understand the depth, do you have a place where I could show you?" Asked Goku, Gohan just nodded, his mind wondered to a topic he was trying to suppress.
After everything that had happened so far, he honestly didn't know if he wanted to go home, at least not yet, so much had happened and he really started to enjoy the universe that took him in, it had its bad moments but it had its great moments as well.
When they arrived back at the watch tower Gohan walked in and was greeted by the sight that was known as Superman.
"Superman" Said Gohan as he approached him.
"Indominus" Answered Superman, Gohan smiled.
"I am so glad to see you back and kicking!" Said Gohan as Superman chuckled.
"Trust me, so am I, I hear you have been holding down the fort in my absence" Said the man of steel.
"Yes and it was harder than I thought it would be but now that you are back you can take up your mantle as the champion of earth" Said Gohan as he thought.
'It's not exactly what I want, I am not a champion of justice' Thought Gohan, the man of steel just chuckled.
Gohan was about to spark another conversation when someone spoke. "Yeah, what did you expect, filling shoes as big as Superman's is not possible" Said Karen as she walked up behind Clark.
Gohan chuckled. "Hello Karen" She glared at him before turning and walking away.
"I have places I need to be" Said Karen, Gohan sweat dropped at her answer.
He suddenly got an idea and the words came running out of his mouth before he could really process what he said. "Karen, you wanna grab a bite to eat later?" Asked Gohan, he felt his body shiver when he heard himself, he quickly wanted to retract his offer but was denied.
"Yeah sure" Said Karen, although the response came fast, faster than normal and she cursed herself because of it.
'What! Why would I say yes!? And so fast too!?' Thought Karen as she played it cool.
Gohan however was shocked, he wasn't expecting the response to be YES! Let alone so fast! He instantly gained a huge grin on his face but quickly composed himself. "Alright…I will see you later" Said Gohan, he was having trouble containing his rising excitement.
"Try and not be your usual retard self" Said Karen as she turned and left the room at a reasonable speed. 'Keep your heart rate normal Karen…Kal can hear it'
Everyone present watched this with wide eyes, Clark himself was beyond confused. "I will see you guys later…I have some…uhhh hero stuff to do" Said Gohan as Batman nodded.
Gohan looked to his father. "Talk to Batman, he can get you a temporary place to sleep" Said Gohan as he turned and left.
"What just happened?" Asked Clark and Batman shrugged.
"Your guess is as good as mine" Said Batman as Vegeta smirked.
"Your brat is becoming a man Kakarot" Said Vegeta as Goku just chuckled.
"They don't stay young forever" Said Goku, he was proud of his son for turning a situation of hopelessness into something, the scene he saw, he knew his son would not leave this place, not after everything he experienced here, one person in his mind came to him. 'Videl…' Thought Goku sadly, he could only imagine her pain when she found out the Saiyan she met in Orange star might not return home.
Clark's eyes widened as he realized what just happened. "When did-wha…how…SHE HATED HIM!?" All that came out of the man was confusion.
Batman turned. "You missed more then you realize" Said the dark knight as he turned and looked to Goku and the others. "I will show you to your rooms" Said the bat.
They followed, meanwhile Gohan had returned back to his room and felt his hands were shaking, he didn't know why but he was suddenly extremely nervous.
'What was I thinking!? I don't know what I was going through my head!?' Thought Gohan as he paced back and forth in his room. 'Calm down! You are a god! How can you let a girl make you so nervous!?' Gohan walked over to his bed and sat down before falling over.
'I don't think I ever got this far with a girl I actually like…' Thought Gohan as he just grinned like an idiot on his bed.
With Batman and Superman…
Batman had just showed Goku and Vegeta to their rooms, Beerus and Whis was in a room as well. The bat was now talking to Superman. "Wait seriously!? When?" Asked Clark, he still hadn't quite gotten over the fact that Karen of all people said yes to "hanging" out with the saiyan, last time he saw them together she cussed him out for beating a normal man and he looked like he was completely over being around her.
Batman just shook his head. "Clark, I don't think I can break it down in a way that you would understand, I don't think anyone can, it's just something you have to have experienced, watching the scenes unfold and seeing how they grow from hating one another to well…this" Said Batman.
Clark just scratched his head as he sighed. "But anyways, I need to know how much stronger you have become Clark" Said Batman.
"I am a fair amount stronger than before, I could probably take on four Darkseid's and win fairly easily" Said Superman, Batman raised an eyebrow to the claim.
"Alright then" Said Batman.
With Karen…
She had just left them and she was now fighting an internal battle to keep her heart rate at a normal speed. The moment she left the room she quickened her pace and walked towards where she could hear Kara, who was currently talking to Zatanna and Batgirl.
"Kara. Talk. Now" Said Karen as she walked passed and smiled to the two girls. "Sorry girls I have to borrow her" Said Karen as Kara gave her a confused look before she got yanked by Power Girl.
"Woah, easy" Said Kara as she steadied her pace, not willing to face plant on tiles.
Batgirl and Zatanna just stared at the two incredulously before shrugging and returning to the topic at hand. Kara groaned.
"This better be good, Zatanna was telling us about this other dimension-" Started Kara but was cut off.
"I am going to eat out with Gohan tonight" Said Karen, Kara's eyes widened slightly at the words as they entered Karen's room, the door sliding closed when Kara fell silent.
"How…when did this happen?" Asked Kara.
"Gohan randomly asked me if I wanted to grab a bite later and before I could even think my mouth just spilled out 'Yeah sure' in front of everyone…" Said Karen, Kara was dumbfounded for a second before she stifled a laughter, but she couldn't contain it and the laugh burst out.
Karen looked bewildered. "Mind explaining to me why this is so funny?" Asked Karen, a raised eyebrow and visibly irritated, however there was a light blush on her face.
"You are like a love sick puppy!" Said Kara as she continued laughing, Karen's face turned an even deeper shade of red.
"No…no-no I am not!" Stuttered Karen as Kara teased her.
"Y-y-yes…y-you are!" Teased Kara as Karen's face became redder.
"Would you stop it!" Said Karen as Kara's laugh died down.
"Alright alright" Said Kara with a smile. "You need my help?" Asked Kara as Karen just slumped.
"Well…I don't have any experience with this sort of thing…back on my earth, I never got the chance to do this sort of thing and when I came here, no one really appealed to me…this is the first time…" Said Karen, Kara's smiled became warmer.
"You know…I am so happy to know you can be this vulnerable with me…" Said Kara as she hugged Karen who looked slightly confused before she smiled lightly.
Karen smiled before flicking Kara's forehead lightly. "Well, who else would I open up to?" Said Karen before she got a cheeky grin on her face. "Besides you had some issues yourself when we first met" Said Karen as Kara smiled.
"I honestly have no idea what I would do without you" Said Kara as they both chuckled. "As for your date-"
"It's not a date" Countered Karen but Kara shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, with how you came to me, I couldn't imagine you thinking it is anything less" Said Kara as Karen turned red again.
"Okay…but what if Gohan just meant to…you know, hang out? As friends?" Asked Karen.
"Well, maybe he did, but all you can do is go along and be yourself, but then again he did say he likes you" Said Kara as Karen nodded.
With Gohan…
"Come on Barry pick up your phone!" Gohan muttered to himself as he heard the phone click and someone answer.
"This is Barry Allen!" Said the voice.
Gohan felt relief flood his system. "Hey Barry its Gohan…I need your help" Said Gohan as the voice on the other end spoke.
"Yeah sure man what's up?" Asked Barry.
"Can you come to the watch tower?" Asked Gohan, Barry was more serious after that.
"Is it a threat?" Asked Barry.
"No…it's personal" Said Gohan.
The line was quiet for a few seconds and then he answered. "Be there in a flash" Said Barry as he cut the call and within ten seconds Gohan heard a knock on the door.
He walked up to the door and opened to see Barry in the flesh in his Flash suit, he came in and Flash removed his head piece and took a seat on the bed while Gohan stood.
"Hey Gohan what's up?" Asked Barry.
"Uhm…how do I say this…" Said Gohan.
"Okay for a short while I really disliked this girl…but recently we started talking more" Said Gohan as Barry's eyes widened.
"You finally realized you like Karen?" Asked Barry as Gohan's eyes widened.
"Wait what?" Asked Gohan and Barry shook his head.
"Am I right? Or is it someone else you been holding out on me with?" Asked Barry, Gohan shook his head.
"I am confused, how did you-"Gohan didn't get to finish.
"So I am right!?" Asked Barry. "When did you realize?" Asked Barry.
"I am still waiting for you to explain how you knew?" Asked Gohan.
Barry waved his hand dismissively. "That's not important, it was easy to see you guys getting along better than before, and I can only imagine it's because you developed a minor crush on her, after all she constantly puts you off but I had a feeling you liked girls with strong personalities" Said Barry as Gohan eyed him bewildered.
"That is a pretty big leap to make" Said Gohan as Barry shrugged.
"The real question is…am I right though?" Asked Barry.
Gohan slumped. "Yeah…" Said Gohan as Barry chuckled.
"So why did you call me here?" Asked Barry. "Tell papa bear" Said Barry with a grin as Gohan's eye twitched.
Barry burst out laughing. "I am kidding! But seriously, why did you need me" Said Barry, he was genuinely curious as to why Gohan needed him.
"You wanna ask her out on a date or something?" Asked Barry as he continued his own train of thought. "After the whole Saiyan thing she is obviously still sensitive to males, so I think waiting a few months might be a good idea or until she gets more comfortable around you" Said Barry as he continued his train of thought.
"She already is going to dinner with me tonight" Said Gohan, Barry who was about to say something felt his mouth drop open.
"Wow…okay…how did that happen?" Asked Barry as a cheshire grin grew on his face, Gohan grew red from the thought.
"Well when I got back I started talking to Superman and then she came out of nowhere, she was about to leave again, I don't know what happened but the words just spilled out of my mouth, 'you wanna grab a bite to eat later' At first I thought 'Oh shit…why would I ask that out of nowhere' I was about to take back what I said but she beat me and said 'Yeah sure', I was stunned for a good few seconds but quickly got back my composure" Said Gohan as Barry face was one of disbelief as he came to a conclusion in his mind.
'Karen must like Gohan…' Thought Barry. 'It's the only thing that makes sense, otherwise she wouldn't have said yes so fast, damn it I should have been there to see it happen!' Thought Barry as he came out of his head.
"Okay Gohan, I can tell you are nervous, so the best advice I can give you…is be overly confident" Said Barry as Gohan gave him a 'really?' Look.
"No of course not, you be yourself man, that's who she knows and that is who you know, take her to a place or maybe she can choose where you go and let your….uhhh friendship take over" Said Barry. "Just be careful, you don't want to fall from the hated guy to the friend zone guy, getting out of that zone…is almost impossible" Said Barry.
Gohan nodded, he had heard of this dead zone that no man ever wanted to enter, it was about the same as being turned down because she sees you as a brother. He inwardly shivered at the thought and gave a quick nod.
"So I am assuming you haven't set a time yet?" Said Flash, it was more of a statement then a question.
With Karen and Kara…
"Okay so I am assuming you don't know when you guys are actually going to meet up?" Said Kara, Karen raised an eyebrow at the statement.
"What? So you have to wait for him to get back to you" Said Kara as Karen nodded. "Wrong! You pick the place!" Said Kara as Karen's eyes widened but nodded.
"But what do I do?" Asked Karen as she stared at Kara who stared at her. "I think I told you this but I DON"T KNOW WHAT I AM DOING!" Said Karen as she threw her hands up in panic.
Kara burst out laughing at her best friend's misfortune, Karen groaned at her friend. "You can't expect me not to laugh, you know I never thought a guy would have you this worried, you must really like him" Said Kara as Karen's face turned red.
"Well no shit Kara!" Said Karen as Kara once again burst out in laughter, this was priceless in her opinion.
"I am being serious! Could you stop laughing!?" Said Karen as she turned and grabbed a pillow before smacking Kara in the face.
"Alright I will stop" Said Kara as she tried to compose herself before bursting out in a fit of laughter, Karen took the pillow but instead of smacking Kara she covered her own face in embarrassment.
"I swear…one day I will get you back for this…" Said Karen as Kara just laughed before calming down.
"Honestly though, just be you…I mean that is who he wants to 'hang out' with" Said Kara as she made air apostrophes with her fingers as Karen turned red again.
"Kara!" Yelled Karen as Kara lost herself in laughter again.
With Gohan and Barry…
"Alright so be myself!" Said Gohan to himself as Barry nodded.
"Take her out to place you think is good for dinner, and then see how well it goes and if you two actually enjoy it, the moment you get comfortable the night will be so much smoother" Said Barry as he thought. 'And if I remember correctly that time in the watchtower when we watched you two talk in the hall, you were so stiff and somehow insults turned to a decent conversation'
Barry shook his head before smiling at Gohan who seemed to be in deep thought. "Don't worry man…I think you are going to have a good night" Said Barry as Gohan gave him a smile.
"Thanks Barry" Said Gohan, Barry just shrugged and grinned.
"Who knows maybe you might go clubbing or something, one thing can lead to another and…" Said Barry as he let that thought hang in the air, he watched as Gohan's face turned to a very nice shade of crimson red.
"BARRY!?" Yelled Gohan as Barry burst into laughter and held his sides.
"I don't know what dirty thoughts came to your mind but I was talking about a kiss or something!" Said Barry as Gohan gave him the most skeptical look Barry had ever seen in his life, he couldn't contain himself and laughed again, much to Gohan misfortune.
"You know goddamn well what you were insinuating you dirty bastard!" Said Gohan as he stared at the dying Barry who was starting to tear up.
Gohan just chuckled at the sight before he burst out laughing as well, the two were laughing so hard Barry didn't even notice his phone ring.
Gohan just wiped his tears of laughter away and heard the phone. "Oh Barry, your phone is ringing" Said Gohan as Barry quickly dug in his pocket.
"Oh damn it, this is your fault Gohan! Iris is going to kill me! I was supposed to get popcorn and you side tracked me!" Said Barry as Gohan smirked.
"Serves you right you! I didn't expect karma to work so fast" Said Gohan as Barry gave him a defeated look.
"But anyways thanks Barry" Said Gohan as Barry grinned.
"No sweat man, what are friends for?" Asked Barry with a grin as he looked at his watch. "I better get going" Said Barry as he turned and was about to leave before looking back to Gohan.
"I am glad I got to meet you man" Said Barry as Gohan smiled. "And good luck with the girl" He ended with a grin.
"Likewise man" Said Gohan as Barry gave him a salute before running and disappearing. "Maybe I should ask dad if he knows something that can help Barry get faster" Said Gohan as he put the thought to the back of his mind, because he had other more pressing matters to get back to.
With Karen…
"You know we haven't gone out in a while" Said Karen as Kara nodded.
"We really should, I can whenever you want" Said Kara, Karen grinned.
"Awesome, so two days from now you and I are going to see where we can go" Said Karen as Kara smirked.
"Anyways, I don't want to keep you locked up in this room forever, so…I am going to leave you and you go about your business" Said Kara as she got up.
Karen nodded and stood as well, they left the room and separated, Karen with her mind in overdrive decided that the best place to be would be the training room, so she went back to her room before changing into her training outfit which was a white sports bra and black skin tight pants and blue running shoes, she had ear buds in however no music was playing, at least not yet.
She arrived and found the room was filled with some younger members of the league, she walked over and went to the weights, she immediately garnered the attention of the males in the room who stared at her, she started playing music on her ear buds, she didn't want distractions.
"Wow…she is pretty" Said a newer member, his friend nodded, this caught her attention, even with the music playing her super hearing made it a piece of cake to continue listening to them.
"That my friend is Power Girl" Said one of the older members.
"Yeah, she is one of the most powerful members of the Justice League" Said another, the one who commented on her beauty turned red.
"I didn't know! I have only ever seen her on TV with her costume!" Said the young guy, he looked to be 17 and was close to panicking.
"Don't worry about it, as long as you don't piss her off you are safe" Said the other guy as the young guy calmed down.
She just chuckled to herself before lying down and grabbed the bar before she spoke. "Ten thousand tons" Said Karen, the bar turned orange before she grunted and picked it up.
The other members in the gym who were lifting lower weight sighed in comparison as she just starting pumping iron.
The new guy watched as she grunted with each push, he sighed as stared. 'Man she is so pretty! And strong' Thought the guy.
"You want to go and say hi?" Asked another member to the teen who turned red.
"Are you crazy!? She is Power Girl!? How in the world do you expect me to keep myself from saying stupid incoherent shit" Said the guy, Karen internally chuckled at the poor kid's dismay, she knew she intimated many and seeing it just fed her ego.
She continued pushing the bar up and down as she listened in on their conversation.
"I dare you to go up to her and make conversation" Said another member, he was a little older than the 17 year old.
"What!? Why me?" Asked the guy.
"Come on Max! If anyone can muster up the courage it's you" Said the guy.
The 17 year old now known as Max looked at her in contemplation before shaking his head. "Come on Max! You got the looks and you are an upcoming hero! You might even get the key to your city soon!" Said the guy.
Karen's eyes nearly widened at the information. 'The key? Who is this kid!?' Thought Karen as she realized she hadn't really kept up with the news because of everything that had happened.
Max stood quiet for a short while, she could tell he was contemplating. She actually wanted him to come over so that she could find out who he is.
He lifted his foot to take a step forward but he hesitated. He quickly shook his head before taking a step forward.
He took a deep breath, the other guys watched with wide eyes as he made his way towards Power Girl, one of the most intimidating members of the Justice League.
"Hey" Said Max as he came to a stop in front of the woman of steel.
Karen who was still pushing the bar up and down slowed to a halt, and put the bar back with one arm, as she sat up. Max's eyes widened slightly at the display of strength, it didn't even look she could feel the bar of TEN THOUSAND TONS.
He cleared his throat when she pulled one earphone out and you could hear the music playing, she pushed a button on her arm where her iPod was and the music stopped.
"Can I help you?" Asked Karen, the guy inhaled before exhaling and smiling.
"My name is Max, you are Power Girl right?" Asked Max as she nodded. "I am a massive fan!" Said Max as her lip pulled into a smile, despite what she was wearing the kid's eyes never left hers, she could tell his eyes wondered to various spots on her face, like he was taking in what she looked like in person but he didn't glance down at her chest.
'I guess he must have done all the looking he needed when I was lying down' Thought Karen with a sigh as he spoke.
"Do you have any tips for me? I am an upcoming hero! The name is Zero Gravity or Z.G for short" Said Max as she eyed him.
"Never heard of you" Said Karen as the guy gave a nervous chuckle, she quickly realized how cold that sounded.
"What can you do?" Asked Karen as Max looked back to her with hope.
"I can manipulate gravity!" Said Max, the other members in the back watched on in shock, Karen never just spoke to anyone.
"On what scale?" Asked Karen.
"Well the bigger the object the more power I have to use, but I can lift a small scale town of about eight thousand people if I really try and I can exert force down as well by increasing the gravity on objects" Said Max as Karen nodded.
"Impressive" Said Karen as she got an idea. "How about a test?" Asked Karen as Max looked on in curiosity.
"Sure" Said Max, she leaned back again before picking up the bar again, the bar was off so no extra weight was added.
The others saw this and started to approach the two.
"Now, push down on this bar and let's see if you can make me sweat" Said Karen as she winked, the words came off a bit more seductive than she intended, but she played it off.
Max turned slightly red as he nodded. "Are you sure?" Asked Max as she nodded.
"I will start off at a quarter of my strength" Said Max as she nodded.
Max stood still for a few seconds as he closed his eyes and when he opened his eyes again purple static electricity sparked around him and his eyes glowed purple as the atmosphere got thicker he raised his hand.
Karen watched him curiously, she suddenly felt the bar push down on her, she held it and smiled. "Not bad, I can actually feel the bar" Said Karen as he chuckled.
"Yeah now for fifty percent" Said Max as Karen suddenly felt the bar increase in weight drastically, her arms bent slightly before she returned them to their previous spot.
"I wasn't expecting such a massive increase in weight, this is at least 12,000 tons" Said Karen, she was honestly impressed that someone who was not even in his twenties could do this.
Max stared at her in wonder. How could she lift so much weight? Sure she just lifted 10,000 tons, but that's ten thousand tons, there was a massive difference between the two weights. "I am going to give you everything I can!" Said Max as she nodded.
He growled as the pressure became thick and Karen yelped in surprise as the weight increased again.
"Wow, the weight doubled!" Said Karen as she looked to Max and smiled.
"If you showed up a few years ago, you could have been one of the League's aces, well you can still be" Said Karen as she sat up with the bar. "24,000 tons, this is not bad, especially for a bar" Said Karen as Max blushed lightly at the praise from the supposed cold heroin.
He watched her place the bar back on the side with ease, he couldn't wrap his head around her strength.
"How are you so strong" Asked Max. "I thought I would at least be able to make you struggle a little!" Said Max.
Karen smiled. "Don't let it get you down, I can stop a planet that's ten times the size of earth just by giving it all I have" Said Karen as Max's eyes widened to dinner plates, she chuckled at his expression, in fact everyone who heard this had wide eyes.
Max was about to continue talking when he heard a voice. "Never have I ever heard someone brag so modestly" Said a familiar voice to Karen.
Karen reacted in the only she knew to this voice. "Oh shut it, dumbass" Said Karen her eyes sharp, Max suddenly felt the urge to shrink from her presence.
Laughter filled the room as a guy walked in. "What are you doing here?" Asked Karen as Gohan smiled.
"Well how else was I going to get a time from you?" Asked Gohan as she remembered.
"Oh right…" Said Karen as her body language shifted slightly, not enough for anyone to notice however.
"So I will see you later?" Asked Gohan, his heart rate picked up slightly and Karen heard it.
She gained a grin. "Oh I don't know, I am quite the busy person you know" Said Karen as Gohan's jaw dropped.
"What? Busy!? What drugs have you been smoking?" Asked Gohan as she stifled a laugh before turning back to the bench.
Acting disinterested she waved him off. "I was kidding, you can grab dinner by yourself, what did I get you happy?" Asked Karen with a grin as she raised her eyebrow.
Gohan felt his face heating up, he didn't know how to handle this. "Alright fine" Said Gohan with a shrug. "You can eat by yourself" Said Gohan. "I thought I was going to be a nice guy and quell the bad blood between us but seems you don't want too" Said Gohan as she raised an eyebrow.
"Quell? Who talks like that?" Asked Karen, Max and the rest were just watching from the sides trying to figure out what was happening and who was this guy and why was he talking to Power Girl so casually.
Gohan felt defeated inside, she basically denied him. He turned to walk away and Karen realized that she was about to lose her time with him, panicking internally she wracked her brain to try and fix the situation.
"How about this?" Asked Karen as Gohan stopped and turned and looked back to her.
"If you can beat me in an arm-wrestle, then later I will let you take me out to wherever you want to go?" Said Karen, she quickly realized how she worded it, she felt like she was going die from embarrassment.
Gohan only heard one thing. 'Beat me and you get your shot!' He grinned.
"Woah man you know this is Power Girl right?" Asked one of the guys and Gohan smirked.
"Yes" Was all he said as he walked up to a light construct table.
Max watched on in conflict. 'How is this guy so casual with her?' Wondered Max, he felt a bubble of jealousy inflate.
Karen sighed internally. 'That was close!' Thought Karen as she walked up to the table. 'I am not going to let him win though, I have a reputation to uphold, I will just let him take me out even when he loses' Thought Karen as she got ready.
"Hey, man are you sure?" Asked Max as Gohan just smiled.
"Max!" Said one of his friends. "That is Indominus! You might want to back up" Said the guy, Max looked on in confusion, where did he hear that name.
"You ready to lose Power Girl?" Asked Gohan as she smirked.
"Big mouth, let's see if you can back it up" Said Karen, she was smiling like an idiot inside though because he seemed so determined to win just to take her out to dinner.
Gohan grunted and in that second he powered up and his hair turned crimson red and a thick atmosphere appeared, to the rest of the observers it felt divine, almost like fire. Karen became serious and her bio electric aura increased the pressure, her presence was electrifying.
Everyone else close to them was stunned at what they could feel. "So…this is what the strongest of the league feels like" Said the guy as Max was stunned to the point of not being able to move, both Gohan and Karen had this intense look of concentration on their faces and the atmosphere the two of them generated felt so intense, he could go numb if he remained in this for long periods of time.
He couldn't believe that even though the pressure wasn't directed at him, he could feel it like it was, he could only imagine the pressure the two of them exerted on to each other.
They grinned as they clasped hands, Gohan felt his heart rate quicken, because they were holding hands. 'God I am such a child!?' Thought Gohan, Karen had a look of concentration.
"Alright we start on three" Said Karen as Gohan nodded.
"One…two…three!" Said Karen as the pressure just quadrupled and the two pushed and strong burst of air pressure pushed back on the audience, if felt like a shove to the normal members with no super strength.
Gohan's jaw clenched as Karen's face became serious and pushed back.
Gohan's aura become bigger as he drew on more of his divine power. Karen's teeth grit as she felt her arm moving back.
Max was so surprised to see her arm move back he didn't know what to make of it.
Karen saw this and grinned, she dug deeper and pushed back at the Saiyan God, he felt her push his arm back.
"Your God strength is nothing to me!" Said Karen as she pushed even harder, Gohan growled, he was losing, his arm was going closer and closer to the table and he couldn't stop it.
His arm tensed as he pushed, Gohan quickly realized he was not going to win this bout, he looked back to Karen and he could see she knew she was going to win, her smirk was staring at him, but even though it should have angered him, he couldn't help but get lost in her beauty, her sparkling blue eyes and her blonde hair blowing back from the pressure.
He was not about to lose his chance, he smirked to her, she smirked back but the next moment happened so fast she couldn't follow, she felt the back of her hand hit the table with frightening force that made a shockwave that shook the training room.
She stared at her hand in surprise, she looked up at Gohan who was smirking at her, she looked down at her hand again before repeating the process. Everyone was shocked, she had lost.
She watched the scene play out in her mind in slow motion. "You cheater!" Said Karen as Gohan powered down and laughed.
"You didn't beat me with strength! You used speed!" Said Karen as Gohan shrugged. "You pulled back and made a gap in between our hands and push back with more strength than before!" Said Karen.
"I won didn't I" Said Gohan as she growled.
She couldn't believe she lost she clenched her fist before raising it to Gohan who sweat dropped, was he about to get decked.
She growled in frustration before she lowered her fist and looked down. "Fine, I should have thought of that" Said Karen as Gohan chuckled.
"So, I will see you later?" Asked Gohan as she sighed before looking up and smiling lightly.
"Yeah" Said Karen as he smiled.
"Central American time, I will pick you up at six" Said Gohan as she shook her head.
"Yeah yeah, now leave before I regret not punching you for cheating" Said Karen as she shooed him away as she chuckled.
Gohan turned before looking at the shocked look of the other members.
Gohan left the room and Karen just took a seat by the bar. Max approached her.
"That was amazing" Said Max as she looked to him and smiled.
"Yeah well, mister Indominus is a massive cheater" Said Karen as Max smiled.
"Yeah, he did cheat" Not like he could tell what happened, but he took her by her word.
"Why did you still agree?" Asked Max as she looked to him and smiled.
"Earlier I had already said I would, I just did this to see who was stronger physically and I have my answer" Said Karen, technically she wasn't lying but she knew she had said yes because she just didn't want to say no.
Max nodded, he kept trying to remember where he heard of Indominus but then it hit him. "WAIT? " Yelled Max, Karen was stunned by the sudden outburst, Max's cheeks turned red as he realized he yelled at Power Girl.
"Sorry, I just remembered where I saw him, he is one of the new members of the league right?" Asked Max as she nodded. "The one who helped fight against Darkseid!?"
"Yeah, he is a god" Said Karen as Max's jaw dropped.
"That guy?" Asked Max disbelieving but then he remembered that pressure when the guy's hair turned red.
Karen nodded as she stood. "Well anyways, I will see you around Max" Said Karen as she turned and walked.
Max just watched her walk away, his heart was beating fast. 'I think I am in love…' Max couldn't keep the thought out of his mind.
Her retreating body was so appealing and her personality was so fierce! He wanted her to acknowledge him! He wanted her to smile at him the way she smiled to Indominus.
He clenched his fists. 'I can only get stronger! And impress her on the battlefield!' Thought Max.
Once Karen was gone he turned and the other members who was with him spoke. "Don't get hung up on her, you have to be a beast to attract her attention" Said the guy that suggested he talk to her.
Max nodded and he was now determined to become that beast.
Out in space…
Grail, Excalibur, Deth and the four Saiyans reappeared. "Alright so you guys can find a way to survive from here" Said Grail as the Saiyans stared at him in wonder, who was this guy?
"The planet we are on is populated, you can figure out a way on how to survive" Said Grail as he and his brother and sister were about to leave but Grail stopped. He turned back to them, Excalibur and Deth stopped, they knew their brother all too well.
"Join us" Said Grail as the Saiyans stared at him suspiciously, what could someone as powerful as him possibly want with them.
"I can tell you one thing, you can leave but if you join us, no one will be able to oppose you" Said Grail, he smirked.
The female Saiyan stepped forward, Grail eyed her, he didn't know why but she felt off even earlier. "My name is Tunio, I am a half breed Saiyan, my father invaded a planet called Laundria back in my universe, they conquered it, at the time a species was there on vacation, you wouldn't know this but this species back in my universe were revered as an almost divine race, they were protected by the God of Destruction, so when the Saiyans found my mother and her lover at the time, my father took her and raped her, she was taken as a slave back to Planet Vegeta, the God of Destruction must not have known, at most there was only a hundred of us" Said Tunio as Grail nodded.
'There must have been a reason why a deity from her previous universe would protect her species, but something feels so familiar' Thought Grail. She grunted as a pair of white wings came out from her back, they were however badly damaged. You could see the bone in some places and the one wing was bent in an awkward angle.
Excalibur felt her breath get caught at the sight. Even Deth was disturbed at the sight.
"You see my mother told me that our race was a divine one that the Omni-King was given by the Source, an Omnipotent deity from another reality, as a gift, our race came from the garden of the Source…or so I was told…I was told we were called Fo-"Tunio never got the chance to finish as Grail finished for her.
"Folians" Said Grail as she nodded.
"I heard you say you were favored by the Source" Said Tunio. "So I thought you might know" Said Tunio.
Excalibur made her way to Tunio before pulling the girl into a hug. "Who would have thought that one of us would have been here" Said Excalibur as her heart hurt at the sight of the broken dirty white feathered wings.
"The Saiyans on Vegeta had fun, seeing how strong my mother's wings were, they figured out a way to release her wings without her consent, and when my mother died they turned to me" Said Tunio.
Excalibur raised her hand to Tunio and warm glow of white light covered her. Tunio felt her body heal and heard her wing pop back into place.
"You aren't very strong are you?" Asked Excalibur as Tunio shook her head.
"I never got the chance to train" Said Tunio as Grail nodded.
"You will be surprised at the level of power you can achieve" Said Grail.
The other saiyans just watched in shock, this slave girl who only followed orders to avoid more punishment ended up being sent to Oa.
Grail turned to the Saiyans. "You can join us" Said Grail. "With us you will reach power you thought was once unattainable" Said Grail as the Saiyans slowly stepped forward, just as Grail was about to vaporize the Saiyans Tunio turned and called for a male with dark hair, the same one that spoke to Grail when he was in cuffs.
"Come Norques" Said Tunio as he slowly came closer.
"Who is he?" Asked Grail.
"The one person who kept me going" Said Tunio with a small smile, Grail nodded. "Anyone else you know?" Asked Grail, she shook her head, the next second Grail snapped his fingers and watched as the other Saiyans explode in confetti.
Tunio was surprised by this act. "They treated one of my sisters like trash, the whole species is a stain!" Said Grail, he turned to Norques. "You are only alive because you kept her alive" Said Grail. "So I guess you aren't a stain" Said Grail.
Norques's heart was beating rapidly, he had no idea he was that close to death. "T-thank you" Mustered Norques.
"Come let us leave" Said Grail as they vanished.
On the watchtower…
Gohan had finally changed into some casual clothes, he sported a black jean, with a dark blue ecko shirt, some sneakers and a leather jacket, however he had decided to transform into his ultimate mode, he liked the look of his hair, he had the body of a Super Saiyan and the facial structure of a Super Saiyan as well but still had his black hair and onyx eyes, and he was also taller.
He made his way to Karen's room, he knew she had a place on earth but he didn't know where that was, when he approached her door it opened and Kara stood there. "Hey Gohan" Said Supergirl.
Gohan surprised responded. "Hey Kara…is Karen here?" Asked Gohan, Kara looked back in the room before shaking her head.
"She said there was no way she would be seen leaving the watchtower with you, so she told me to tell you that she was going to wait for you in Miami" Said Kara as Gohan sweat dropped before he nodded.
"She said that you can also just sense her energy and find her" Said Kara as Gohan nodded, it made sense, he chuckled to himself at Karen's antics.
He thanked Kara and turned and left, he made his way to earth, he arrived in Miami and made his way towards her and found her energy signature in a restaurant near the beach.
He entered the restaurant and walked until he spotted a blonde with a blue top who had a white jacket on and black jean on, he froze, he didn't expect her to look so…beautiful, he made his way over to her but before he made it to her a group of friends stopped at her table.
With Karen…
"Wassup girl!" Said the one guy, he was actually really good looking, Karen smiled up to him.
"Hi" Said Karen as the girl in the group spoke. "Hey! We are sitting over there if you want to join us" Said the girl, Karen gave her a confused look.
"Well we saw you sitting by yourself for like the last thirty minutes" Said the girl. "And we thought why not invite you to join us and make new friends" Said the girl with a smile, she wasn't lying Karen could hear her heart beat.
"Yeah, a smoking hot babe like you should be with friends!" Said the guy as the girl face palmed.
He chuckled when his friend spoke. "Sorry he doesn't know how to flirt, that's why he is still single" Said the girl as the girl held his chest.
"Ouch, you know I have feelings right?" Said the guy in mock pain as Karen chuckled at their antics they seemed like nice people and if she wasn't waiting for a certain Saiyan God she might have taken them up on the deal.
"Sorry, I would love to but I am actually waiting for someone" Said Karen as the girl nodded.
"And he is making you wait so long!?" Asked the guy.
Karen blushed slightly. "No, I am actually thirty minutes early" Said Karen as the girl chuckled.
"Well if you change your mind we are going to be over there" Said the girl. "My name is Mila, this dumbass is Adam, and my boyfriend over here" Said Mila as she pointed to the guy who had his arm around her. "His name is Aaron, the girl next to him is Liza" Said Mila as she pointed to the other blonde girl.
Karen smiled. "My name is Karen Starr" Said Karen as the guy grinned.
"Because you are a star!" Said the guy as Mila spoke.
"Stop that…stop that forever…" Said Mila as Liza laughed at the man's misfortune.
Karen couldn't believe how well their personalities mixed. The next second a guy walked up to the table and Karen's breath was caught as Gohan arrived.
'Why does he look so handsome!?' Thought Karen, she quickly realized the man was in a transformed state.
Gohan smiled, the closer he got the prettier Karen became. He looked to the group of friends.
"Hi" Said Gohan as they stared at him.
"Well, Karen, I can see why you were here thirty minutes earlier" Said Mila as Karen's eyes widened in embarrassment.
Gohan however only heard that she was thirty minutes early. "Wow Karen, thirty minutes?" Said Gohan as she waved him off.
"I had time to burn" Said Karen as Gohan nodded, she was free after all.
The group of friends made their way to their table leaving Gohan and Karen alone at the table.
