Chapter 28: Recruiting and Coming Clean
Hey everyone I'm back. Now many of you are excited for me to do the one-hour special where Supergirl joins and it is on the way. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.
At Super Hero High, Spider-Man was sitting at a table with Black Panther and Katana as they were trying to figure out which students to ask to join to the Avengers.
"How about Cyborg? We could always use a guy who knows his way around technology." Katana suggests.
"What about Bumblebee? She's could be a great help in tight situations." Black Panther suggests.
"Ugh all these students here would be great additions to the Avengers, how are we going to narrow this down?" Spider-Man groans.
"This is quite the mental challenge, perhaps we should take a break from this." Black Panther suggests.
"I second that." Katana groans when Wonder Woman walks in.
"Hey guys what's up?" Wonder Woman asks.
"Just Avenger business. We're trying to expand our team but the choices are too hard." Spider-Man said.
"Sorry to hear that, but Spidey, Waller wants us both in her office." Wonder Woman said.
"What for?" Spider-Man asks.
"She just said it was important." Wonder Woman shrugs.
"Well I guess we better not keep her waiting. See you two tomorrow." Spider-Man said as he and Wonder Woman made their way to the office.
"Hey Jaden, how come you haven't asked me to be an Avenger yet?" Wonder Woman asks getting his attention.
"Really? You want to be an Avenger?" Spider-Man asks.
"Well my dad was the first Avenger; don't you think it would make sense for me to be one as well?" Wonder Woman asks.
"I didn't want you to feel pressured to join the Avengers. If you want to join, I think you would be a great addition. You're strong, brave and we don't have any flyers on our team so you would really be a lot of help." Spider-Man said as Wonder Woman giggles.
"Are you sure that's the only reason? Because if you need more convincing maybe I could help ease your mind." She asks seductively causing him to blush under the mask.
"Uh maybe now isn't the best place to talk about this." Spider-Man said nervously.
"Oh Jaden." Lifting his mask, she leans in and kisses him on the cheek before they arrived at Waller's office.
"Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, so glad you could make it." Waller smiles.
"Hi, what's up?" Spider-Man asks.
"Have you two seen the news about Supergirl?" Waller asks handing them a file.
"Superman's cousin?" Wonder Woman asks.
"Affirmative. We want her at Super Hero High. She'd be a one of a kind catch." Waller said as they opened the file to see pictures of her.
"One of a kind? I thought I was that." Wonder Woman said.
"She said the same thing about me." Spider-Man said.
"I want you two to convince her to come to Super Hero High. Barbara Gordon will set up the conference call." Waller said.
At Barbara's lab, Barbara handed Wonder Woman and Spider-Man a tablet.
"Here you two go, all set up." She smiles.
Dialing the number they waited patiently while in Smallville, Supergirl was setting up her computer for the call.
"Alright plug in here for the speakers." She said when Wonder Woman's face appeared on screen.
"Hi Supergirl." Wonder Woman said startling her.
"Whoa!" Supergirl steps back and trips on a cord causing her to fall backwards and break her bookcase in half. Flying quickly she caught them all in her hands. "It's so nice to finally talk to you. I've heard so much about you and your amazing powers…uh you got a little something." She points to her forehead revealing one of the books had fallen on her head.
Acting quickly Supergirl threw it off only for it to fly through the window shattering it. "Oops."
Suddenly the Save the Day alarm went off alerting Wonder Woman. "Save the Day Alarm!"
"I understand, maybe we can talk tomorrow." Supergirl said.
"No need I'll take care of this while you got save the day." Spider-Man said grabbing the Tablet.
"Thanks Spidey. Maybe later we can talk about me being an Avenger." Wonder Woman whispers that last part before flying off to which Barbara noticed.
"Uh hey there Supergirl my name's Spider-Man I don't know if you've heard of me." Spider-Man said nervously.
"Uh yeah I've heard of you." Supergirl said nervously. 'Holy Kriptonite I get to talk to Spider-Man?' She thought.
"How about I show you what makes Super Hero High so awesome?" Spider-Man offers walking out of the lab.
As Jaden left Barbara sighed knowing she had to talk to him.
Walking to the front of the school Spider-Man showed her the statue of Superman. "And there's the statue of Superman, to this day he remains Super Hero High's greatest student. Maybe if you're good enough you could have a statue too." Spider-Man said.
"Me? A statue?" Supergirl said interested.
"Pretty cool thought, right?" Spider-Man asks as Supergirl closed her eyes imagining it when her heat vision goes off burning her curtains.
"Uh Spider-Man, could you hold please?" Supergirl asks.
"Sure." Spider-Man nods as Supergirl ran off screen to deal with the fire. 'Wait is that smoke?'
Suddenly his phone vibrated. Opening it he saw a picture of Wonder Woman taking down Giganta who had tried to rob the bank.
"I knew she could do it." Spider-Man said when he noticed a man hot wiring a motorcycle across the street. "Oh man."
"Alright I'm back." Supergirl said coming back on screen to show Spider-Man was swinging after the thief on the motorcycle.
"Oh great. Just give me a minute. Dealing with a little Grand Theft Auto." Spider-Man said as he fired a web and swung after him shooting a web on his arm he attached the table to it allowing Supergirl to see him action.
As the thief turned a corner he thought he was home free until Spider-Man dropped down in front of him and stopped him with his bare hands.
"Hey could you hold this for me?" Spider-Man asks holding out his web. Before he could respond Spider-Man fired another web attaching the thief causing him to dangle from a light post.
After Spider-Man put the motorcycle back he turned to Supergirl.
"Sorry about that." He said when he saw her giggling.
"Are you kidding that was hilarious. Not many people can make you laugh while you save the day. Do all heroes do that or just you?" Supergirl asks.
"Nope, just me. I hope you consider coming to Super Hero High. I'd love to see you in action." Spider-Man said hanging up.
"Me in action?" Supergirl looks around her room to see it was totally destroyed and that was just during the interview. "I don't know."
Logging onto the computer she brought up the school's superhero page and looked at the picture of Spider-Man. "But if it means hanging out with you all the time I guess I could give the place a try." She sighs.
Taking off his mask Jaden was walking to visit Barbara who was typing in her lab.
"Hey you wanted to see me?" Jaden asks causing her to stop.
"Jaden, can I ask you something personal?" Barbara asks.
"Sure." He nods.
"Do you love me?" Barbara asks.
"Of course I love you, what kind of question is that?" Jaden asks.
"Say another girl came into your life and you fell in love with her, would you even still look at me?" Barbara asks as Jaden's memories with Diana and Selina came back to him. Even though he did it with both of them part of him felt like he was wrong to keep this from Barbara because she was the best thing to ever happen to him.
"Barbara if I had 100 girls in my life it wouldn't change how I feel about you. You're the most amazing and smartest girl I've ever met and I love that cute smile you make when I do this." Jaden tickles behind her ear causing Barbara to giggle and smile.
"Okay okay you made your point." Barbara said typing on her computer to reveal his DNA which had webs laced around it.
"Whoa, what is all this?" Jaden asks.
"I did some research on you from that piece of hair I took from you so I could learn about your spider bite and I found out while it gives you your powers it also give you one more…side effect." Barbara said.
"What kind of side effect?" Jaden asks.
"Well you know how some spiders release pheromones in order to attract multiple mates? Well the same thing happens to you but with girls." Barbara said.
"Wait so you mean to say I'm giving off pheromones that make girls want me." Jaden asks. 'This explains so much.'
"Apparently the spider that bit you was like the Alpha of spiders but the effects only work on certain girls, otherwise every female in the world would want a piece of you." Barbara said.
"Well I guess that's good to know. How long have known this?" Jaden asks.
"A couple days now. I just didn't know how to tell you, plus when I saw you getting all chummy with Wonder Woman, I was worried if I told you then you would dump me and settle for a girl like her." Barbara admits.
"Well I'll admit Diana has come onto me in the past and the reason she's getting so close is because she wants to be a part of the Avengers. If there was a way I could prove to you that I love and get rid of all those doubts I'll do it." Jaden said.
Barbara pauses to think and gets an idea. "Alright I think I have a solution. Its obvious more girls are gonna be in your life and I'm fine with that on the condition that I'm your number one, no one else gets that position." She smirks.
"I don't see the harm in that." Jaden agrees.
"Guess Wonder Woman's gonna have to come to me if she wants a piece of my man." Barbara smirks.
"Actually, it's not just her." Jaden admits.
"Excuse me?" Barbara asks.
"Barbara I may have encountered a few other girls that seem to have a thing for me." Jaden admits.
"Jaden, start talking now." Barbara said causing him to gulp seeing how this was going to be a LONG day.
