Chapter Seventeen.
"You know he will kill us, right?" GL snorted, as he handed out a camera to each of the League.
"What did you do?" Shayera asked, as she was handed a camera. Julia stood beside her taking photos of herself.
"You'll see," John grinned.
"What is this?" Diana asked as she was handed the camera.
"A camera," John said, rolling his dark eyes. "Just hold it against ya eye and push da button."
"Oh," Diana said, holding the camera to her eye. She peered through the glass staring at Clark before pushing the button. The flash went of blinding her and everyone near it.
"Why does she get a flash?" Julia said, rubbing her eyes.
"Why do we all get one?" Hank asked, taking a picture of Booster Gold posing.
"Cause Wally moves too fast," Green Lantern said, "At least this way we may get one decent shot of him."
"Oh, okay," Hank said, as Booster hulked himself up for another shot. "Growl like a tiger, baby!"
"Rah!" Booster growled, scratching the air.
"Stop wasting the film," GL snapped. Hank and Michael stared at him before taking several shots of him.
"Can you two get the point," Batman snapped, as Booster Gold snapped a few shots him. "I have work to do!"
"Oh, mellow out," Lex muttered, "You're work isn't gonna run away."
"Yeah, Bats, relax," Clark laughed.
"Don't call me Bats!"
"Flash does," Booster sniggered.
"That's Flash," Batman snarled, giving Booster the glare.
"I'll shut up now," Booster murmured.
"Good idea," Batman said, as GL walked towards the door.
"Get ready," GL said, before pounding on the door, "Wally! Hurry up! Get out of there! Luthor's taken Bart!"
"Flash, we need your help!" Julia shouted, following GL's League.
"I'll be out in a second!" He shouted from inside, moments later he rushed out. Flashlights filled the hallway as everyone began to take shots of the terrified hero. He screamed, when he finally noticed why everyone was with cameras. He looked at the mirror behind him to see his skin was a bright green, his hair was a bright green and his eyebrows had been half shaved and were also green. He was in such a rush he didn't even notice the bright, frilly purple skirt he was wearing, when he wore it.
"Hey that's my skirt!" Julia snapped, "Take it off!"
The League burst out laughing as Wally rushed behind the door, slamming it shut and locking it. Batman tried to suppress a smirk but joined in the laughter.
"Good work," he laughed.
"Thanks," The Green Lanterns both said, as the door unlocked, Wally's head poked out glaring at the Lanterns. His head was covered in a towel, which was also green.
"Is Bart really in trouble?"
"No," Green Lantern smiled.
"Of course," Wally snarled, "You know this means war, right?"
"Oh yeah!" John laughed.
"You're both going down!" Wally barked slamming the door. Everyone burst out laughing, once more.
"I want my skirt back!" Julia snapped. "No one said anything about my skirt being included in this?"
"I'm surprised you have a skirt like that one," Wonderwoman smiled. Julia glared at her.
"It was a gift," Julia snapped.
"From who?" Diana asked.
"A friend from Thanagar," Julia said.
"The skirt's from Thanagar?" Shayera asked surprised.
"Yeah," Julia said, "It was a joke gift."
"From Hro?"
"Yeah right," Julia snorted, "He wouldn't know a joke if it kicked him in the balls."
"Yeah, you're right," Shayera smiled, "So who's the special guy?"
"His name's Kator," Julia said, "And he isn't a special guy. He's my brother."
An audible sigh was heard from Lex. Shayera spoke up again. "But I don't have a brother?"
"He's adopted," Julia said.
The bathroom door clicked open again as a green blur zoomed past.
"That was different," Batman said, when the zoomed came back pouring a sticky goo all over the League. Fire and Black Canary screamed as their hair was covered in the stick substance.
"Wally!"/"Flash!"
"I'll kill you!" Julia said, running after the blur, only to slip on the goo that covered everyone. She fell only to be caught by a fast acting Lex, her head only centimetres away from the table under her. Lex helped her straighten up, "Thanks."
"No problem," Lex said, Wally smiled from his hiding place.
---------
Bruce walked down a hallway, the bag over his shoulder totally lost. He didn't understand how, the Mansion was much smaller then his own. He turned a corner and gasped when he saw the group of heroes all cover in red goo.
"What on Earth happened to you lot?" Bruce asked, watching Batman throw a pile of goo to the ground in anger.
"The Flash happened," Clark said.
"Thank God Bart isn't as mentally challenged as him," Julia said.
"How do you get this filth off you?" Diana asked.
"There a bath in there," John said.
"Isn't that the same bath Flash bathed in?" Diana asked. She got a couple of nods, "No, thank you."
"There are a couple of showers in the mansion," Lex said. "I'll show you guys know,"
"I bags the first shower," Booster Gold said.
"Which way down to Bart's room?" Bruce asked, stepping over the goo.
"It's the room opposite of mine," Julia said. Bruce nodded and walked off.
--------------
"One hundred bottles of beer on the wall," Bart sang, tapping on the table in boredom. "One hundred bottles of beer. Take one down and toss it around. Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall."
The door swung open reveal an angry looking Wally. Bart burst out laughing as he was still green.
"You sent me to that bathroom!" Wally snarled. "You made me green!"
"Yeah, so," Bart sniggered, "What are you gonna do?"
Wally grabbed the smaller speedster by his shirt and pulled him forward. "Just wait and see."
Bart swallowed fearfully, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."
"Too late now," Wally said, before zooming out of the room. Bart leaned back against the bed and began to worry. He was going to be killed soon. There was a sharp knock on the door, causing Bart to jump into the air. It opened slowly and Bruce walked inside.
"How's the leg?" Bruce asked, sitting on the chair, placing Bart's bag on his lap.
"That's my bag!" Bart snapped.
"Yeah it is," Bruce said, pulling out the art book. Bart froze as Bruce opened it. "Nice art."
"Uh- Thanks," Bart muttered, as Bruce went through it.
"When did you start drawing these?" Bruce asked, flipping through the book.
"Since I met you guys," Bart said, taking the book when Bruce handed it to him.
"How long have you been drawing?" Bruce asked.
"A few years," Bart answered. "Why do you care?"
"I like your art," Bruce said, "Besides we will need costumes soon. I think you should design them."
"Me?" Bart asked, stunned.
"Yes, you," Bruce smiled. "A costume for Diana, Julia, Clark and yourself. I've got one and so has John."
"You want me to design them?"
"Yeah," Bruce smiled, growing impatient. For some one so fast, he was taking this in very slowly.
"Okay," Bart said, "When do you want them?"
"When you finish them," Bruce said.
"You're not gonna make them out of Spandex are you?" Bart asked.
"No," Bruce said, "I'm making it out of the same material my costume is made of. It will protect you from gun shots and other dangers."
"Cool," Bart said. "Okay, I'll do it."
"Good," Bruce said, "Uh, do you want me to get you crutches?"
"Yes please!" Bart said. "I asked for them about a week ago!"
Bruce laughed softly, "Did you see what happened to the League?"
"No," Bart said.
"Well the Flash covered them in this gooey red crap," Bruce said, "You should have seen Batman, he was close to shattering his teeth."
Bart burst out laughing, "Isn't he you?"
"Yeah, but moodier then me," Bruce said.

"Eh, do I know you?" Gabe asked, looking at Don with a raised brow.
"I- um, I'm Don," Don blushed.
"He's my boyfriend, dad," Chloe said, holding Don's hand. Don swallowed.
"I kind of figured that out when I saw you two making out on my couch," Gabe said, Chloe rolled her eyes, as Don blushed even more.
"Sorry, sir," Don muttered. Gabe laughed and slapped Don across the back, almost knocking the pacifist to the ground.
"It's alright buddy," Gabe laughed, loudly, "My daughter's a good judge of character, she's a reporter for crying out loud. But if you hurt her, I hurt you."
Don nodded understandingly, as Chloe groaned. "I won't."
"So who wants a coffee," Gabe asked. "How do you take it, son?"
"Milk and one sugar," Don said. Gabe nodded and left the room. "Well that was embarrassing."
"Wait till he starts telling jokes," Chloe muttered.
"I like jokes," Don shrugged.
"Oh, great," Chloe groaned.
----------------
"Hey," Clark said, sitting beside Julia and Diana who both were sipping Ice Mochas. All three were cleaned from the red goo.
"Hello, Clark," Diana smiled. Julia gave him a nod and continued to drink the coffee as she nibbled on a biscuit. "This coffee is delicious."
"I told you," Julia said, "Some things in the man's world are nice."
"Perhaps," Diana shrugged, "I suppose they have their advantages."
"Yeah," Julia sniggered, "Between their legs."
Clark gasped as Diana laughed, "Maybe we should keep talk about the male organ to a minimum around Clark?"
"He's such a gentleman," Julia sighed, "Why can't they all be like that?"
"I told you," Diana said, "Men are filth. No offence, Clark."
"None taken," Clark smiled, "Julia, maybe you should try talking to Lex. I know you like each other; I mean Kal's noticed it. And that's saying something."
"I don't like him," Julia said, bluntly. "Sure maybe he likes me, but the feeling isn't mutual."
"So that's why you're always flirting with him?" Clark asked.
"I flirt with every one," Julia snapped.
"But more with Lex," Clark said.
"So I was trying to get a raise," Julia muttered, taking a sip from her mocha.
"You're a hopeless liar," Clark said.
"Okay," Julia snapped, "Fine maybe I like him a little."
Clark gave her a look.
"Okay, I like him a lot," Julia muttered, earning a look from Diana. "Alright! Alright already, I love him. Are you two jackasses happy now?"
"Yeah," Clark said, "But I think you would be happier if you told him."
"I'd be happier if I pulled out my mace and broke it across your head," Julia snapped.
"That would be a waste," Diana smiled. "Seeing his head is made of metal."
"Yeah, you're weird," Julia said, "Most men have wooden heads."
"Well, I'm not from Mars," Clark laughed, "But J'onn Jonezz is, I wonder when will meet ours?"
"Maybe we should try going to Mars and meet him there," Julia suggested.
"Who is he?" Diana asked.
"Apparently a guy who can turn invisible, shape shift, read thoughts and is strong," Julia said. Diana nodded impressed. "He sounds useful, actually that reminds me."
"What?" Diana and Clark asked, as Julia had paused.
"Bruce spoke to Bart about designing our costumes," Julia said, "Apparently the kids a good drawer, so if you guys wanna go check out what his drawn. I'm going later tonight after Lost."
"What's Lost?" Diana asked.
"A TV show about a group of people stranded on a Island, where freaky stuff happens," Julia said, "The best bit is Naveen Andrews is in it. And Josh Holloway."
"Who?"
"Some guys," Julia said, "Any way Clark, are you gonna go check it out now or later?"
Just as Clark was about to answer his mobile went of, he jumped as it vibrated in his pocket. Pulling it out he pressed the button and answered. "Hello…. Lana? What's Wrong?...Who? ….Okay, I'll be there in a few minutes… Don't worry… okay bye…"
"What's wrong?" Diana asked.
"I'm not sure," Clark said, "But I have to go."
"Alright," Julia said. She raised a brow, "Keep us posted, Superboy?"
"Okay, Hawkgirl," Clark smiled before zooming off.
"Hawkgirl," Diana smiled, "I like that it suits you?"
"Wondergirl," Julia tried.
"Wonderwoman sounds better," Diana said.
"Yeah, but around the Justice League, its Wondergirl," Julia said.

"St. Peter and Satan were having an argument one day about baseball. Satan proposed a game to be played on neutral grounds between a select team from the heavenly host and his own hand-picked boys. 'Very well,' said the gatekeeper of Heaven. 'But you realize, I hope, that we've got all the good players and the best coaches.'" Gabe said, as Don listened intently to the latest joke the older man was saying. Chloe was sitting next to Don with her head in her hands completely embarrassed. "'I know, and that's all right,' Satan answered unperturbed. 'We've got all the umpires.'"
Don burst out laughing as Chloe rolled her eyes.
"Here's another one," Gabe said, "If you tied buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropped it from a height, what would happen?"
"Rhetorical question?" Don asked. Gabe nodded, "I got one, if a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked?"
Gabe burst out laughing as Chloe pulled out her cell phone.
"Hello? Lana? Huh, what's wrong? Okay be there in ten," Chloe said, standing up. "I've gotta go see Lana. You coming?"
"Okay," Don said, standing up, he held his hand out to Gabe, "It was nice meeting you, sir."
"Call me Gabe," Gabe laughed shaking the younger man's hand. "You're welcome anytime."
"Thanks," Don smiled as Chloe dragged him out. "Bye."
"Bye dad," Chloe said, closing the door. "Never doing that again."
"Why not?" Don almost whined. "Your dad has great jokes."
"Right," Chloe said, dragging her boyfriend down the stairs. "Let's just go see Lana."
"Okay," Don smiled. "I wonder what's wrong."
--------------
"Holy crap," Chloe muttered as herself, Don, Clark, Lana, Kara and Pete stared at an unbelievable sight. "What do we do?"
"We should call Superman and Batman," Don said with out thinking.
"Who?" Chloe asked, looking at her boyfriend like he was insane.
"He means my dad," Clark said, he then added, "And his dad."
"Okay," Lana said, "The phones on the wall in the kitchen."
Don nodded and ran towards it. He ignored the phone and pulled out his communicator. "Dove to Batman."
"What is it Don?" A few seconds later came the reply.
"We have a situation," Don said, "You need to get here quickly but not as Batman."
"Alright," Batman answered.
"Dove out," Don said.

Next chapter: Revealing of the unbelievable sight. Diana, Julia and Bruce go to see Bart's Art. Lex and Jules decide to stop ignoring each other. Shayera and GL go flying. The League gets terrible news…
Albert- Heh, that's my brother's name… I'm pretty sure I mention in the later chapters that Superman knows Pete, but I might have forgotten… J'onn from Smallville will definitely be in but in the later chapters. I actually didn't plan on having Clark tell Supes about Jor-El in to much detail, but I might. I don't think Jor-el made those type of plans for Clark. But dude, don't ever write a review that long again! I almost cried when I saw I had to read that!
Johnny- Thanks for the review bub!
Sorry for the late update, Booster Gold and Hawk made me laugh in this chapter… Growl like a tiger, baby!
There is definitely gonna be a sequel to this. It's gonna be set in the JLU world. And continues from season five of JLU. You'll see once I finish this and start that…
I'm also planning on making a JLU/X-men crossover… The movie (X3) was brilliant so I'm gonna make me own version of it… WITH GAMBIT! I don't BELIEVE they fcukin cut him off! ARGGGH!
So what do you think the unbelievable sight is? Or the terrible news….
Actually the story is going to end in a few chapters. I think I'll make 20-22 chapters…
Peace and Chicken Grease
