Note : here is the second chapter, it's just focusing on little events from Zack's daily life with a twist in the end.

Also I wonder about the future of the story such as do you think Zack should be with one girl or more?

Or which villain girls do you want him to meet first (in costum I'm taking about since he already met Doris)

Chapter 8 : Zack's weerk

Wednesday.

I was on my phone talking to Karen about the bumblebee suit. "Karen, I don't know half of the thing you described to me… I know it was my idea to upgrade the suit … and yes I still want you to make one for me… Okay you know what." I took a pen and ripped a page from one of my notebooks. "Repeat everything you need I'll write it down."

Just after that I went to the lab next to my room. It was where Francis Zeul was working on his growth formula.

"Hey, Mr Zeul." I called my foster father while he was working in his lab.

"Yes?" The red haired man was still working on his project.

"Can you help me to find some of these things? It's for a friend." I presented to my caretaker the page where he wrote down what Karen wanted.

The scientist looked at it. He raised his glasses. "It's for a girl?"

"Yes," I answered a bit uneasy.

"Just give it." Once he had the paper the scientist started to read it. "Most girls don't ask for such materials. What is she trying to do?"

"She wants to become a giant, so she studied doctor Palmer's formula and tried to inverse the process." I bluntly explained

"You know I worked on a growth formula before." The red hair laughed.

I raised an eyebrow at that "Did it work?" Maybe it could make me stronger later.

"I'm still testing at Star Labs, The subject is growing but it's not permanent and Right now we are working on a robot so it won't be finished before a long time."

"A robot?" The last time the new talked about a robot was shen Metallo tried to bashe my skull.

"Yes, the one from the attack at the mall. We have been disassembling it and studying him since we got it."

I internally winced at the idea I could have indirectly caused Metallo's death, Sure Corben was a merc and killed people but I still felt uncomfortable at the idea someone died because of me

"Great… So can you help me?" I really wanted to finish the 'Metallo conversation'

"Of course."

I spent the rest of Wednesday finding pieces for upgrading Karen's suit and making one for himself.

Thursday

"Walker! Where are the photos of superman?"

Right there. I gave her pictures Jimmy left near his desk. "Also can you call me Zack. I feel old when people call me Walker."

"Not talking, we're working." Lois answered while tipping on her computer

"Okay." I sighed.

Then Kara entered the room, she looked angry.

"What's buzzin', cousin?" Lois asked her

Kara pointed to the school newspaper where Superman was the headline "Why are you printing stuff about him in the school paper?"

Apparently she is still bitter about her cousin

Lois wasn't bothered. "What's eatin' you, Danvers? That's a legitimate story and I'm a legitimate reporter. Got it? Now who's got a pencil?"

Kara: There are way more important stories out there than Superman.

Jessica: She's right. I've got a lead on some terrible chemical dumping.

Kara looked at Lois " What if I told you there was another hero out there, hmm? A better hero, with all the same powers as Superman but even awesomer."

Lois Lane was still on her computer almost ignoring her. "I like your potatoes, Danvers, but where's the meat? What other hero's gonna get me an internship at the Daily Planet?"

" Ever heard of Supergirl?"

"Super who?"

Wait, Lois doesn't know Supergirl? We passed on television last week.

"Superman's cousin. She was also here when Lex's sister tried to trashe the pier and 'sweet justice'." I told her

Lois just leans in her chair "Eh, sounds like a retread to me. " Kara seemed to be ready to burst in anger until Lois spoke. "But I think I can do something with that."

Kara smiled at the new_probably happy to be recognized.

The next article was a critic of how poorly the situation at 'sweet justice' was handled as a good part of the sweet shop was destroyed and how far Supergirl was from her cousin's level.

friday

"You don't have to do that."

"Don't worry. All my friends are busy and I have nothing planned this afternoon." I tol Beatrice while I helped her to clean the house.

Hey, I had school and activities all week. Is it too much asking to have an afternoon off?

Saturday

"Again" Diana told me.

"Can't we take a break?"

"No, we will continue until one of us collapses from the effort."

Diana agreed to train me after my fight with Carol. To be fair the training was quite harsh. footing across all the city, then lifting weights and finally a spar to see what I can do.

Her mom almost killed me and so was she.

I only know boxing because I liked Ipo and Rocky but against a three hundred and seventeen years old amazon I'm outmatched with no doubt.

Soon, I was leaning on the whole. My whole body hurt after a training session.

"You actually did great. Usually most beginners don't last this long." Diana told me while she was next to me.

Having a level eight help a lot for that.

"Thank, you."

"But you have some lacunes, first your timing lets a lot to be desired, you can't use your surroundings to your advantage and your powers are not used to their fullest potential." She told me in a military tone

"What do you mean?"

"You could use your portals to get a better reach for your attacks, in fact if you learn to use your portals while punching and aim you could attack by surprise and it would be more effective."

She is right, I know eliatropes don't need to open their hands for a portal but I never tried it before, I was just happy with what I already know

Although I got a better hand on my new powers and practiced them to be more comfortable with them I just did the basics and what I saw on Tv.

I never tried to make a wakfu weapon before.

you gained one Wisdom point.

"I think I have an idea." I told Diana.

"What is it?"

"I can try to make weapons." I thought about something simple like a rod or a blade. I focused the wakfu in my hand, trying to give it a form.

After a few seconds later, a blade formed in my hand but she barely materialised that I suddenly felt exhausted

Wakfu : 1000/3700

New ability created : wakfu weapons.

This ability enables you to form weapons out of your wakfu but be careful, materialising a weapon out of your wakfu consumes a lot of your reserves. The larger the construction is the more wakfu it will take.

You can use these weapons to attack your opponents. It's quite effective against being weak against magic. It can replenish a part of your wakfu reserve by draining wakfu from your opponent and

Well, that's gonna be useful later but gotta be careful with it.

Sunday

You know, leaving my home to live there for the rest of my life was awful but after a week I think I'm getting used to it. Sure I still miss my family but considering there is an afterlife I will just wait.

I mean things are getting great in my new life, I have friends, powers, health, heck I even met my heroes and it has been a week since my last supervillain fight.

I stand corrected, whatever did this explosion, nine out of ten it's from a villain, I just send a sms to my team while I use Zee's necklace to change into my alter ego.

Getting there isn't complicated, I use my portals and follow the smoke, I arrived in front of a damaged part of the city everything is on fire and breathing becomes harder there all I can see is devastation.

I saw a car upside down, I thought there was someone there but I had no time to ponder on it as I heard something coming toward me, by instinct I jumped into a portal and when I reappeared I saw that a chain almost hit me and I had a good look at its owner.

He was an alien with pure white skin, his eyes were red and he was dressed as a biker. In all my life as a justice league fan I only know one character who matched him. The galactic bounty hunter, the hooligan, the savage from space, the main man :

Lobo.

He was smirking at me and one thing was in my mind :

I'm Fu*****

"There you are." His red eyes were scaring me. "Name's…"

"Lobo, the main man." I must stall him until Superman or Kara come. This guy can fight a kryptonian and Kalibak by himself so using his ego is the only way I have to gain time.

"So you know me." he laughed. "Guess I'm famous."

"What do you want? I can help you if you're after a bounty"

"A guy hired me to find the last eliatrope. So get over here or you will be pissing blood and missing teeth"

THERE'S ELIATROPES IN DC?!

I didn't have a long time to think about it as I had to dodge a blast from a gun he had.

"Time out TIME OUT."

To my surprise he listened to me.

"What do you mean by the last eliatrope? What do you know about them? why me?" Seriously, eliatropes are from ankama, they have as much chance to get a crossover with DC as RWBY.

Lobo just took a cigar from his jacket and lit it up. "I know no shit about them. I just know that a weirdo wants you in his Zoo and he pays well.

Is he talking about the preserver? How do they know about me?

I have no time to think about it because Lobo just took a gun and shot in my direction, I just used flood to switch place with him resulting with Lobo taking the blast.

I just saw him in perfect form except for the smoke coming from where he was hit.

"Okay pal, you asked for it." The bounty hunter cracked his neck, walking toward me.

By pure instinct I shoot a blast toward him. He didn't bother to dodge it. The laser from my two portals did nothing except sending him back to a building.

Then he started to keep walking despite the laser I was still shooting at him. But then I heard a motor coming right at me, It was his bike. Then again I used flood this time with his bike.

The bike impaled him, pushed him far as I was trying to stay focused even with the fire around me.

RRRRRRRRRRR

The motar just moved the bike while the big hole in his chest was slowly closing, His ride was intact but there was a lot of blood on it.

"Okay, now I'm pissed." He took he chain and without I had time to notice it, it was wrapped around my neck sending me toward him as he headbutted me and broke my nose.

healt : 1000/1500

Lobo Me punched me, I felt like my head was going to explode and the taste of blood filled my mouth. I tried to get out of his grip but between his strength and the pain it was quite ineffective.

Healt : 600/1500

"Good night" Just after that he punched me again and I became unconscious

Note : sorry for the wait, I was busy with my life but here for you two chapters. This one involves Lobo. Maybe it was too short but considering who Zack was facing, he obviously stood no chance.

This Lobo is more like the one from the DCAU but with the gadget of 'the man of tomorrow'.

Why and how Zac got a bounty will be explained in the next chapter but it has a link with the previous chapters.

and here is an omake/ sneek peak on the next chapter

-0-

Star lab wasn't so far from Metropolis, it was two hours by car and half an hour if you take the train. Because of that a lot of technology from supervillain fights ends up there.

Such as Metallo's body. The robots have been stored there since his fight against Superman and Zack. For Those who don't remember Zack was getting used to his powers and tried to help Superman, sure the kid almost did nothing but he gained enough time for Superman to recover and the man of steel helped the teenager to steal his Kryptonite heart. After that the scientist took his body for research but there is one thing they didn't know

John Corben was still conscious. That man spent months in total deprivation sensoriel, the only thing he had was his imagination the the perfect memory of the little bastard who interrupted his fight. He could do nothing else than imagining how he would take his revenge on the kid.

Sure, Superman was responsible for his defeat but he had the alien in the corner before that kid made him close his chest and distracted him so Superman could pin him on the ground. Meaning he owned this hell to the brat.

So imagine his delight when he became aware of his environnement for the first time.

"Mr Luthor... " "Show me."

Then Corben was able to see again. He was in the same lab where he got his body and saw the body of his benefactor : Lex Luthor, the same man who saved him from a certain death.

"Hello Corben. Can you answer me?" Lex was smiling at him.

"Yes..." Corben moved his jaw as he tried to get used to it again after a long time. "I was beat by that Superman and a weird kid... How long was I out?"

"You have been out for three months." Lex declared

Three months. It was an eternity for Corben, an eternity of torture, speaking of this.

"My body Lex, you promised a body with senses, where is it?"

"I'm still working on it." Lex bluntly answered.

"You promised me... you said I would get a new one." Corben tried to jump on Lex but to his surprise he was still on the table, While he struggled to reach the impassive Lex, Corben got a view on the mirror in front of him and to his horror he saw that he was just a robot head.

In front of him was the reflection of a metallic skull with two green glasses for eyes with wire coming out of the neck, these wires were connected to various pieces he couldn't recognize but what marked him the most was the loss of his skin. For the first time he could see the abomination he became.

"What happened?" Corben asked in shock.

"The scientist in Star Lab dissected your body but fortunately they did nothing that could endanger your consciousness so I recovered your head and here we are." Lex seemed proud of his actions.

Corben knew that even if Luthor was his benefactor there was a limit to human kindness, Lex would have never bothered to help him unless he would get something in return. "What do you want?"

Lex smiled at his question before he took his phone and showed a video to Corben, There was a girl Superman lifting a bus out of the way of a giant red haired cavewoman then there was the picture of Poison Ivy riding a giant tree with a green lantern following her. There were others videos but the one he noticed the most was the one where a snow skinned alien jumped out of a portal, a portal like the ones used by the little bastard who put him in hell.

"You see, while you were out. A group of vigilantes started to make some changes in my city." Lex winced when he talked of what the group did. "They call themselves the teen titans. Unfortunately since they have been at Metropolis the crime rate dropped quite a lot and I don't even talk of damages to properties."

"You're losing money." Corben interrupted him. Lex was making a huge profit by selling weapons to gangs and repairing the city after a superhero battled, while it was nothing compared to the money he was making it was still a lot of money that would annoy everyone.

"Yes," Lex wasn't pleased to be interrupted but he remained calm. "I told you that making the body you asked was so complexe that it would take time but fortunately humans are better at killing than helping. So I can give you something that you will enjoy so much that you will barely be bothered by the wait of your new body : REVENGE!

Revenge, yeah he would like that, just the memory of killing the brat would make his year. "I'm listening. Corben declared"
