Chapter 4: See Parademon Run
Wonder Woman and Sonic Hurricane were flying to a location that their phones displayed thanks to Big Barda texting them. The two heroes were almost to her house as the air rider spoke to the Amazon.
"I wonder what's up for Barda to text us?", Hunter said wondering what Barda texted them for.
"Not sure but she said it was a favor she wanted us to do for her. In fact, we're just yards away from her house.", Diana said as the two heroes spotted a two story house belonging to Granny Goodness and her foster daughter Barda. As soon as they landed in front of the house, they texted Barda or rather Diana did letting Barda know that they are here. Diana and Hunter locked arms after the latter puts his airboard back in the capsule. The Amazon blushed secretly at the air rider as the latter was figuring out what's the favor. They soon went to the door and rang the doorbell and not too long did the door opened revealing to be Big Barda in her civilian clothes with an elderly but powerful woman beside her. The newgods greeted the two heroes or rather Barda in a cheerful manner hugging both Diana and Hunter.
"Diana! Hunter! Glad you guys can make it!", Barda squealed as she hugged them with Hunter blushing with the giant girl's breasts in his face. Granny noticed this and cleared her throat pointing at the smothered boy prompting Barda to stop as the air rider goofily smiled as Diana elbowed him in the ribs. Soon as the awkwardness subsided, a growl and a bark can be heard as Diana grew alert while Hunter's eyes bugged out in horror. Right he was to feel that way for a Parademon being female ran out the halls snarling at Hunter as the other one being Perry whined feeling sorry for the two guests.
"N-No! Not you again!", Hunter said pointing at the female Parademon as Granny laughed evilly as Barda and Diana deadpanned at the elderly newgod.
"Oh, dear boy. Don't mind my sweet Perky. She's not too fond of strangers. Come now, Perky. Let's not eat our guests. Yet.", Granny said with the last one emphasized with Hunter facepalming. Barda decided to explain to her friends what the deal was.
"I apologize. Granny loves to crack dark humor at times. Anyway, I texted you guys to see if you are both open to look after Perky and Perry for awhile?", Barda said as Diana asked her purple haired friend.
"I'm sure we can do so but what's the need for us to look after them? Hunter got chased by a Paradeemon and I assume it's Perky.", Diana said as Hunter wildly nodded his head wanting to be out of this situation.
"You see. Granny and I need to run errands for a bit and these little rascals can't come for they'll make a scene if you know what I mean.", Barda said cluing the heroes about the Parademons' possible destructive nature. Diana understood the reason why they needed to be look after.
"That's understandable but what happened to Shiva doing it? I thought after her warming up to Perry that she can help out it babysitting.", Diana asked but Granny butted in.
"Shiva is too busy in homework with that green buffoon that morphs into animals of sort.", Granny said with a huff as Barda continued.
"Yes and also due to Perky having beef with Shivs. It won't take long to look after them for awhile.", Barda said as Diana nodded but the next answer made Hunter pale.
"We'll do it, Barda. Hunter and I will gladly look after your pets. You have our word.", Diana said with Hunter looking at the Amazon like she's crazy while Perky eyed the air rider like a piece of steak wanting to rip his face off. Barda smiled while Granny grinned evilly at Hunter's dismay of what's to come.
Moments later, Barda and Granny gave Diana and Hunter a list of things they need to do in order to care for the pets. Hunter to say the least was okay with Perry's list of dos and don'ts with Barda reading some of them to the sitters. However, they braced for Perky's list when the said Parademon growled and panted not taking her eyes off of Hunter who in turn mean mugged at her but Diana tapped him on his shoulder prompting him to stop.
"Here's a list of things that my sweet Perkums likes including her brushing, nice meal of steak and worms (I don't know what Parademons usually eat so I'm assuming.) and nice long walkies. Oh and here are some things Perky does not like.", Granny Goodness said with the latter sentence said with a grin to Hunter as she dropped the roll of dislikes on the list trailing to the tip of the air rider's feet making Diana amused at Hunter's misfortunes.
"I'm sure these lovely children will take care of my sweet Perkums for sweet old Granny.", the elderly lady said as Perky happily barked and wagged her tail as her body was petted. Hunter smiled at Barda and Granny as he understood what to do.
"We'll take care of the little diva, Mrs. Goodness.", Hunter said as Perky turned her head growling at the air rider making him wince as Barda had sympathy for him. The two newgods headed for the door but before they headed out, Granny warned the heroes sternly.
"If anything happens to my babies, I will have your heart roasted on a spit especially you, young man! Do we understand each other?", the elderly woman said with the air rider nodded sheepishly with Perky growling at him and a terrified Perry. Diana waved goodbye to Barda and Granny as they headed out the door. Soon as the door closed, Hunter looked at his Amazonian friend with a pale look that screams, "Why? Oh why?!".
"Diana, are you nuts? Perky's a disaster waiting to happen! You better have a good reason why.", he said as the Amazonian crossed her arms.
"Hunter, I understand that Perky bit you in your posterior—"
"And set it on fire! She set my -HEEHAW!- on fire!", the air rider interrupted wailing hysterically in anime tears but Diana puts her hand on his arms to calm him down. She looked at him assuring that the petsitting wouldn't be as bad as he turned out to be.
"Come on, Hunter. At least do it for me? I'm sure you wouldn't let a woman down right?", she said with a pleasing Look that Bumblebee and Starfire taught her to use in sticky situations. The air rider gazed at Diana's pleading eyes and gave in.
"Oh all right. I'll do It.", he said as Perry panted running to the fridge barking for food and ran back to the heroes jumping on their legs begging for food. Perky not too far behind growled angrily wanting her food first. Diana sternly pointed her finger at Perky wanting her to stop.
"Perky, down! Stay!", she said with authority as the Parademoness sat still but glared at Hunter. Diana urged her friend to get the steaks and worms with the pet's names on them.
"That couldn't be too bad to do. I'm on it.", Hunter said but Diana showed him the list that made the blue hero's jaws drop.
"You got to be kidding me! That Granny's raising a diva! For dang sake!", Hunter said with Perry snickering but Perky barked and got in his face to shut him up.
"Hey! Down, you! Off of him! Off of him!", Hunter said separating Perky from Perry as Diana gave the blue hero Perky's doggie dish and the instructions. Afterwards, Diana called Perry over to his dish filled with the food with eggs with no problem. However, Hunter had a hard time concentrating with Perky growling and snarling demanding him to hurry up. Diana went to him to assist him in feeding Perky.
"Okay. Steaks and worms in her dish, one cup of chopped liver, one cup of ground chicken.", Diana said as she handed the ingredients to the air rider making it a bit easy for him to do adding each ingredient.
"Chicken hearts, pork sausage, the exact middle of a cheeseburger and a cherry on top.", the air rider said to himself after Diana told him so. The dish was piled high for Perky's tastes as it was lowered to the floor for the Parademoness to eat. Perky sniffed it and growled something at the air rider as he grew confused after leaving.
"Oh now what's wrong?", Hunter groaned as Diana showed him the last two being snails and parsley. However, the Amazonian decided to add those things into Perky's bowl. Afterwards, the pets ate their meals in peace while Diana and Hunter decided to watch some television in the den. Hunter spotted Jerks and tried to pick that one until Diana shook her head.
"No way in Hades are we watching that. You had us tortured for hours in the theaters with that!", the Amazonian said crossing her arms as Hunter sheepishly grinned.
"Well wxcuuuse me, princess. The double feature with Jerks: The Movie and Jerks 2 was a classic.", he boasted but before Diana can retort, growling and yelping can be heard in the kitchen startling the pair.
"Oh Hera!"
"Oh great!", the heroes both chorused as they ran into the kitchen spotting Perky beating up on Perry over his food dish. Perky growled and barked while Perry yelped for help as dust clouds kicked up in cartoon fashion with the brawl continuing. Diana yelled for them to stop brawling as they left a mess in the kitchen with some pet food littered on the floor and pans and pots scattered everywhere.
"Both of you stop this instant! Perky, get off of him!", Diana said but the creature wasn't listening. Hunter had an anime vein on his face as Diana tried to stop him from doing anything stupid.
"This isn't getting us anywhere! Time to stop the fleabag now!", Hunter said as Diana pleaded.
"Hunter, no!", she yelled but after Hunter ripped off his shirt revealing to be a wifebeater, he jumped into the brawl thrashing with Perky saving Perry as the little guy ran to Diana in her arms whimpering. Diana frowned at the two brawling making a mess and lassoed Perky stopping the melee.
The kitchen was in a mess for sure with Diana shaking her head at the air rider's recklessness. She pulled him up as he had bruises and bandages on him.
"Look at the mess you and Perky made! Granny and Barda will get us for that stunt you pulled!:, Diana said with a glare.
"It's her fault! She started it by picking a fight with poor old Perry!", he whined as Perky barked and growled in his face.
"It's your fault and you know it, you little thing you!", Hunter said but Diana with cleaning supplies stopped the bickering.
"Enough! Let's just clean this mess up before Barda and Granny Goodness gets back. You start by washing the pots and pans and I'll do the floors and counters.", Diana said blushing at Hunter's wifebeater as the two got to cleaning.
======Moments Later====
After cleaning the mess, Perky and Perry scratched the door wanting to go outside and potty. Perry whined at Hunter and Diana the loudest catching their attention as they watched TV which is not Jerks.
"You want to take a whiz? Hang on, bud. We'll get ya in a moment.", Hunter said as Diana got up and grabbed the leashes being purple and blue for Perky and Perry respectively. Both managed to clip on the leash to the Parademons' chokers before going outside. Perky growled at Hunter as the air rider held her leash while Diana and Perry sighed at Perky's misbehaving. Thankfully, Hunter had his shirt back on before the group went outside.
Once outside, the heroes searched for a place to have the creatures do their business which it was some bushes. After they took care of that, the pair walked the creatures down the block. Overtime, Perky grew more irritable and grouchy by the minute. Diana and Perry spotted this with worry for Hunter as the air rider ignored Perky's loud snarls. To make things worse, Barbara Ann Minerva aka Cheetah approached Diana and Hunter with a smirk on her face.
"SHey there, Wonder Dork and Hunter-Poo! What are you two doing out here and more importantly, what are you doing with Hunter?", she said with a sneer towards Diana.
"Cheetah, what are you up to this time? And for the record, we're looking after Granny Goodness's Parademons for awhile.", Diana said as Cheetah smirked as she purred towards Hunter swaying her hips and tail. She heard Perky growl more aggressively and Perry whining with his earfins flopping in fear. Cheetah grew disgusted at the two pets and gagged at the smell due to her enhanced senses as a feline.
"HISSS! What ugly mongrels and they stink too!", Cheetah said to the heroes as Hunter heard Perky growl baring her teeth at the catgirl. She scoffed and swiped at Perky angering the creature more.
"Cheetah, stop! You're teasing Perky! Please don't anger her!", Hunter warned but Cheetah scoffed.
"How can you like such a disgusting creature? You're better than that, Hunter-Poo. Meow!", she purred angering Diana seeing Hunter and Perky uncomfortable.
"Cheetah, stop! What the Hades are you doing?", the Amazon said with a glare but Cheetah scoffed again but yelped when Perky pulling at the leash jumping at Cheetah snarling loudly.
"Get away from mee, you stupid mutt!", Cheetah spat as she kicked Perky in the air with the Parademoness falling flat on her face. Diana and Hunter gasped and glared at Cheetah for what she did.
"You idiot! You didn't have to do that!", Diana said to Cheetah as the feline hissed pointing a claw at the pair.
"Like I care, Ms. Wonder Dork! You steal a girl's object of affections aka the hottie beside you!", Cheetah hissed as Hunter shot back.
"Cheetah, I don't feel that way for you! And that was wrong for what you did! Please leave while you—", before he could go any further, Perky was barking mad and Perry whimpered. Hunter and Diana saw the angered Perky and facepalmed.
"Now you've done it! Perky, wait! WHOAA!", Hunter yelled gripping onto the leash as Perky was ready to chase the cat. Cheetah sheepishly grinned at Perky trying to keep Perky away.
"Stay back! I'm warning you!", Cheetah said but made the creature more angry by smacking its' earfins. That triggered Perky to Pull Hunter down the block chasing after Cheetah who ran away. Diana picked up Perry and flew after the three on a wild goose chase.
"Oh Hera! Give me strength!", Diana said as she took off.
=====In the city=====
Perky angrily chased after Cheetah through the streets dragging a screaming Hunter knocking over hotdog carts with Cheetah yowling. Hal Jordan and Jessica Cruz spotted the carts in ruin caused by Perky and seeing their friend Hunter yelling for Perky to heel and at Cheetah stating it's her fault.
"My hotdog! Why?! The humanity!", Hal whined as his opportunity for a hotdog was dashed.
"Will you stop whining about hotdogs? Hunter and Diana needs our help! Come on!", Jessica said as the Lanterns used their Power Rings to take flight after a yelling Hunter and Cheetahh following Wonder Woman and Perry.
"This is your fault!"
"My fault?!"
"Yeah! If you hadn't—OOF! Kicked Perky—OOF! And left her alone then it wouldn't come to this!"
Hunter and Cheetah bickered throughout the area with the air rider bumping into hydrants and street signs. Perky nipped at Cheetah's heels making the catgirl run faster. Wonder Woman saw Jessica Cruz and Hal flying behind her as the Amazon yelled to the Lanterns.
"Jessica! Hal! What are you guys doing here?!", Diana asked as Hal pointed down at the chaos below with people screaming and getting knocked into the mud.
"That's what's going on! And that doggy dragging Huntster ruined my hotdogs!", Hal said but Jessica groaned.
"Will you shut up about hotdogs? Anyway, how did the situation happen?", Jessica said as Diana explained everything with the female Lantern narrowing her eyes at Cheetah and Hal doing the same at the catgirl.
"Let's go after Cheetah and stop Perky and Hunter before they destroy anything else.", Jessica said.
"And teach Cheetah about ruining hotdogs!", Hal yelled with Jessica, Diana and Perry ignoring him.
Back on the streets, Perky caused destruction by ramming people in the grass. Perky blew fire at Cheetah and snapped at her heels but the catgirl glared at Hunter.
"Tell that mangy cur to get lost! I'm telling my mommy!", Cheetah spat as Hunter glared.
"I did, genius! It's your fault! You always get yourself and others into trouble!", Hunter said as Cheetah played mock hurt.
"Oh that hurts, Hunter! You and those troublesome girls especially that Amazon are always annoying together!", she spat.
"Shut up and run!", the air rider said to Cheetah but to their horror was a beehive farm with active bees. The two yelled in unison at the sign saying "Danger!".
"Oh no! BEES! ", they shouted as they get stung repeatedly and as soon as they made it out of the beehive yard, they had stings and bandages but Perky was unscathed still pulling Hunter. The next obstacle was the picnic area of the park where Superman and Lois are enjoying lunch.
"Clark, this is a perfect setting for us. The views of nature and the sounds of—", Lois said but heard yells and growls from the distance.
"I hear something! Wait a minute! Lois, get out of the way!", Superman warned as he pushed Lois out the way with the screaming Cheetah, Hunter and Perky wrecking the couples' picnic area with the basket and food flying. After Superman and Lois gathered their bearings, the Kryptonian spotted the trio and then Wonder Woman, Perry and the Lanterns flying overhead.
"Lois, stay here! I got to stop that rampaging Parademon!", Superman ordered as Lois did as she was told but sighed at the mess before her.
====Moments Later===
Superman zoomed after the teens and saw the stings and bruises from the bees. He caught up to Wonder Woman and the gang as the Amazon and Hal were surprised.
"Superman? Sweet! Are we glad to see you!", Hal said with a smile as the Kryptonian nodded.
"I see. But I heard about a problem involving your friend down there with the leash in his hand.", Superman said as Wonder Woman nodded.
"Yes. We were babysitting the Parademons of Granny Goodness and Barda but thee Parademon Perky is the one that is dragging Hurricane down there.", the Amazon explained as Hal Jordan puts iin his two cents.
"Not to mention Ms. Furball being chased by the devil dog thing!", the Lantern said as he pointed his finger at Cheetah still yelling for help. The flying group spots the chaos with Giganta ran over into the mud. Superman had sseen enough and decides to help stop the madness.
=====With Cheetah and Hurricane=====
"How long are we going to run this?! My beautiful nails are ruined!", Cheetah whined with Perky still nipping at her heels with Hurricane struggling to control the angry creature.
"Maybe if you hadn't provoked Perky, you would still have pretty nails!", the air rider hissed as Cheetah scoffs. The two teens spotted Superman flying near them as Hurricane smiled sheepishly.
"Finally! Am I glad to see you! These two are showing me how much of adrag they can be!", the air rider said referring to Cheetah as part of the problem. The catgirl pouted while running.
"I figured that out from your friends. Here's the plan.", the Kryptonian spoke the plan to the air rider and the latter nodded in agreement. The air rider then smirked at Cheetah as the catgirl hissed.
"What are you smiling about?!", Cheetah asked but unfortunately for her, she was the bait. Superman and Hurricane guided Cheetah down the path of the park avoiding beehives, park goers, birdbaths spooking the robins and a green one being Beast Boy of course. Superman used his super hearing locating the two Lanterns at a soccer field along with Wonder Woman.
"Your friends are at the soccer field! Lure Cheetah in that direction!", Superman instructed Hurricane as Cheetah did as she was told. They managed to get there with Jessica and Hal using their Power Rings to make a cage construct to trap the animal. Wonder Woman spotted the group and shouted to the Lanterns.
"Guys! They're coming this way! Hal, toss the bait to me and I'll set it under the cage!", Wonder Woman instructed much to Hal's gripes. The Lantern had a spare hotdog before the hotdog carts got destroyed earlier.
"Does it have to be my chili cheese dog? The humanity!", he whined as Jessica glared.
"Come on, Hal! Just throw it to Diana! Besides, there are plenty of hotdog shops for you to get your fix!", Jessica said to her fellow Lantern. Hal shrugged and tossed the bait to Wonder Woman who placed it on the shadow of the cage construct. Once Superman and Co. were in view, the Kryptonian ordered Diana to lasso Cheetah out of the way much to the feline's displeasure.
"Not by that wretched Wonder Woman! Anyone but her!", she seethed but Superman and Hurricane weren't buying it.
"Either that or you'll share the cage with a crazed devil dog!", Hurricane yelled bluntly as Cheetah sighed as they got into Diana's range. The Amazon lassoed Cheetah and took her to the air. Perky thankfully ran towards the hotdog with Superman instructing the Lanterns to drop the cage with their Rings trapping the animal with no escape scarfing the precious hotdog of a now wailing Hal.
"Whew! Glad that's over.", Hurricane sighed in relief as the group except for Hal still wailing over his hotdog nodded. Jessica groaned at Hal's antics with Perky still snarling.
"That's odd. Cheetah's away from the Parademon and yet Perky is still angry.", Superman pondered but spotted a "bump" on her belly.
"I think Perky is irritated due to her expecting something.", the Kryptoniann said pointing to the "bump" on the snarling Perky. Perry still in Diana's arms had a sheepish grin with Perky growling translating to "You did this to me and I'm gonna kill you!". The group was in shock hearing about this. After an awkward silence, Diana broke it with something that needs to be done.
"We need to bring Perry and Perky back to Barda's before she and Granny Goodness gets home. Not to mention dealing with Cheetah.", Diana said as Cheetah acted innocent but to no avail.
"Don't act all innocent, Ms. Furball! It's your fault in the first place! The least you can do is help out!", Hurricane said as the others agreed.
"And I'll escort her home afterwards.", Superman said as everyone helped Diana and Hunter take the Parademons back to Barda's.
====Back at Big Barda's====
After the gang help make Perky comfortable with Hunter doing most of it, the Parademoness decided to sleep. The remaining two heroes being the obvious watched over the pets as a phone text from Barda buzzed on Diana's phone letting the sitters know that they are in the driveway. Not too long did Barda with a smile on her face came in followed by Granny Goodness. Perry jumped out of Diana's lap and barked happily to the new goddess.
"Perry, glad to see you too! Did Auntie Diana and Uncle Hunter been nice to you and Perky?!", Barda cooed as Perry barked happily. Granny Goodness spotted the TV displaying Jerks and deadpanned at Hunter.
"Jerks is nothing more than filth. How can you watch such a thing? And where's my sweet Perky?! You remember what I've told you earlier!", the elderly Apocalyptian said threateningly as the Barda grew confused.
"I expect her to come out growling and snarling. Where is she anyway?", Barda said in worry as Granny in dark humor wrote a note saying Heart on a Spit referring to Hunter. Before anyone can answer, Perry barked wanting the group to follow him in the next room tracking Perky's scent and the brood.
"I think Perry wants us to follow him. Lead the way, boy!", Barda said as the group went down the hall leading to the room where Perky not angry anymore grew happy with newborn Parademons barking and breathing fire.
"AWWW! New Parababies! Perky's a mommy!", Barda said in excitement as Perky panted with a smile at Hunter. Granny shrugged it off and petted her Perky as the Parademoness enjoyed her master's company.
"You guys made heer comfortable. I'm guessing Perky is trusting Hunter now. Thanks, guys!", Barda said as she glomps the air rider making him blush. Diana giggled and looked at the creatures in the makeshift nest.
"Thank Hera that Perky is all right. And her babies too.", Diana said as Goodness smirked.
"That's great news because now I don't have to put that blue dimwit's heart on a spit. But I can have him sit the little parababies next time. And it's not a request.", the elderly woman said with an evil smile making Hunter pass out into Diana's arms with Perry snickering along with the Parademons. Barda and Diana deadpanned at Granny Goodness as she laughed evilly. To end this episode with the camera over the house outside, a yell from Hunter happened when a chomp from the Parademon puppies got the air rider.
