Hey, guys. Time for another chappy where our main protagonist hangs out with one of the members of the Sweet Revenge Squad in regular attire. I'm having trouble with pairing Hunter with One of the Superhero Girls or the Sweet Revenge Squad. I have an idea. I'll let you guys in the PMs and reviews voice your opinion whether or not he can have a harem except for Jessica for HalxJessica will be a thing and OlliexZ may happen as well. So feel free to voice your opinions but remember,, Zatanna and Jessica Cruz are off limits. Anyway, DCSG doesn't belong to me. Let's get it.
Chapter 8: Crashing With The Giant and The Cat
Hunter was air riding in the neighborhood minding his own business. He sighed hearing that Lobo got grounded by his mother after trashing the principal's office. The air rider sighed to himself rubbing his temples.
"That blockhead got himself grounded for trashing the principal's office. What the hell was he thinking? Now what am I going to do? The girls are busy and the Invincibros are busy also. Ugh.", the air rider said to himself as he zipped through the blocks. He was deep in thought until he crashed into a tree.
"AAAAUGGG!"
WHAM!
The crash caught the attention of Mr. and Mrs. Zell as they returned from a science workshop. The couple gasped spotting Hunter dazed with anime swirls and his board beside him in front of the tree. The Zells looked at each other and at the teen dazed still.
"Oh my goodness! I hope he's okay.", Mrs. Zell said as her husband nodded.
"I say we help the young boy up and take him inside to recover. I'm sure Doris doesn't mind us letting her have guests over today.", Mr. Zell said as his wife smiled agreeing with him.
"Oh yes. Let's bring the child inside. We'll help him up and take him to the house, dear.", she said as the scientists went to the air rider.
Hunter groaned rubbing his head after that nasty crash from the tree. His vision got blurry for a moment as he tried to gather his bearings. His head was hurting making him groan and grit his teeth.
"Damn it! Well that hurts like hell. I should've watched where I was going. I hope I didn't total my air board. My eyes are blurry that I couldn't make of my board.", Hunter said as Mrs. Zell went up to the air rider to check on him.
"Are you all right? You took a nasty fall after that crash.", Mrs. Zell said as Hunter regained his sight seeing the dark skinned scientist.
"Yes, ma'am. I'm okay. That crash made my head hurt like crazy. Wait a minute. Are you Francine Zell, one of the respected scientists in Metropolis?", Hunter asked as the woman nodded.
"Correct you are. Might I ask your name?", she asked as her husband checked out the air board.
"I'm Hunter Lawton. I attend Metropolis High. I live in this neighborhood for a couple months now. I was from North Star City but my folks decided to move here.", he explained as the woman nodded.
"Nice to meet you, Hunter. I have a daughter who attends the school you're in. And my husband is Martin Zell who is also a respected scientist.", she smiled as Hunter spotted Martin looking at the airboard in amazement.
"Amazing. G-Diffusers are very efficient on this airboard. I assume this is yours, young lad?", the man said as Hunter nodded.
"Yes, sir. My airboard has powerful G-Diffusers to power it. In fact, I have a special computer ring that helps tune my board.", thee air rider said showing the scientists the ring with a screen similar to a smart watch but bigger on his wrist that showed the tuning options. They were amazed at the device.
"Impressive. I heard of airboards used frequently in North Star City but not in Metropolis. However, this one's special for the teens using these hover on the ground. It seems this one according to your device's screen says it's designed for the air.", Martin said as Hunter nodded.
"Yeah.. It's kind of rare to have one for the air. If only it was for sea also.", Hunter chuckled as Mrs. Zell chimes in.
"Why don't we head inside so you can rest for a while. I'm sure my daughter would be happy to meet you.", she said warmly as Hunter smiled.
"Thank you. I need to take a break from riding for a while.", Hunter said with a chuckle as Mrs. Zell guides him to the house as Martin carried the airboard inside.
Inside the house, Hunter was seated in the living room where he spotted the scientists ' different experiments and pictures of their accomplishments. He silently marveled at them while smiling. Francine smiled while Martin chuckled at the air rider's curiosity at the chemistry experiments on display.
"I take it that you like our work, Hunter. It's impressive if we say so ourselves.", Mr. Zell said as Hunter nodded.
"Why don't I get my daughter down here to meet you. Doris, we have a guest in the living room. Come down to see him.", Mrs. Zell called as a familiar voice made Hunter stunned but tried to hold it in as to respect the Zells.
"I'm coming, you nerd! I'm about to head out the door!", the voice yelled as Mrs. Zell smiled.
"She's coming, dear. She'll be down in a second.", the woman said as Hunter nodded but deep down he knew who was coming down. Stomps can be heard as Doris grumbled to herself but her eyes bugged out seeing Hunter on the couch with an ice pack on his head. The giant shook her head to snap herself out of it and narrowed her eyes.
"Well if it isn't Air Dweeb! Mom! Dad! What is this twerp doing here?", Doris said as her mom smiled.
"Now-now, Doris. Be nice. Hunter just suffered a crash on his air board. He's just resting here until he feels better.", Francine said as Doris groaned but glared at the air rider who in turn shook his head. Martin came up to Hunter with his air board for a moment.
"Say, Hunter. May I use your airboard for a moment? I have an idea to make your board more efficient and helpful for you. I'm kind of familiar with airboards for we assisted with designing and upgrading. It may take a while but hopefully you don't mind the wait.", Martin said as Hunter nodded.
"Sure thing. But you might want my tuner ring though to help you out.", Hunter said as he hands over the ring off his wrist. Both the Zells nodded.
"Splendid. While I help my husband fix up your airboard, Doris here can keep you company.", Mrs. Zell said as Hunter had a puppy dog look that screams "Diana, get over here now!" as Doris smiled evilly at the air rider.
"That's good. Doris, be nice to him.", Mrs. Zell said as Doris scoffs. Once the scientists left out of sight to the lab, the ginger grabs Hunter by the collar. The air rider yelps as he groaned due to the pain in his head and body.
"Yowch! Doris, go easy! Can't you see that I'm hurting from the crash?", Hunter groaned as his chest met with Doris's breasts. The giant glared at the air rider getting up in his grill.
"Let's get things straight, dweeb! You don't cross me and we won't have any problems. Got it?", Doris said as Hunter nodded.
"Yeah. I got it. Can you let me go now? My body doesn't need to be in more pain than it already is.", he said as Doris lets him go. Luckily, his head didn't hit the couch as his icepack still wrapped on his head thanks to Francine earlier. Doris grabbed the remote and turned on the TV to the science channel.
"UGH! That's lame! Lamer than lame! Next!", she said as she turned from the channel to a racing event much to Hunter's interest.
"Hell yeah! The Metropolis 500 is on!", the air rider said excitedly as he tries to watch the race. However, Doris snorted before changing the channel much to Hunter's dismay. The channel landed on the World's Strongest event as Doris smirked. Hunter swipes the remote and changed back to the race prompting Doris to growl.
"Hey, you twerp! The strongmen competition is on! Give that remote back!", Doris said as she changed back to the show. However, Hunter changed back to the race.
"Well the Metropolis 500 is on! I'm going to watch it!", he said but Doris growled changing it back to the strongmen show. The two changed back and forth until they growled like wolves as sparks flew as blue eyes met Hunter's green ones.
"Twerp!"
"Buttweasel!"
"Nerd!"
Red Head!"
"Butt Sniffer!", the two said calling each other names as they changed the channel with each respective insult. Before one of them said a word, a doorbell rang as they stopped bickering. Doris growled and grabs Hunter before answering the door. The giant opened it revealing to be Selina as the thief raised an eyebrow at Hunter's presence but smirked looking at the sight with Doris wrapping her arm around Hunter while glaring at him.
"Doris? What's your boyfriend doing over here? Are you two making out? Wait a second. Why does he have an icepack on his head?", Selina said purring as Hunter's eyes bugged out.
"Damn it, Lobo! You picked a fine time to be grounded!", Hunter mumbled to himself.
"Selina, he's not my boyfriend!", the giant said blushing in embarrassment and denial.
"Your face says it all. You deep down like him.", Selina said as she waltzes inside to the living room with the door closed.
"Just can it, Selina. Anyway, he's here with that icepack on his head because he sucks at airboarding.", Doris said teasing Hunter. He protested as Selina snickered at him.
"Hey! I accidentally crashed into a tree! And I do not suck at airboarding! I'm a natural!", he said pointing to himself as Selina giggled at his antics while Doris groaned.
"My nerdy parents got back from a nerdy workshop and now they're working on this dweeb's board right now. Probably to set it where he couldn't hurt himself.", Doris said as Hunter grumbled.
"Soshim-Roshim-Ricka-Fracka, Rick Rassily!", he grumbled as Doris scoffed at him with Selina confused.
"I'll pretend I didn't just hear that. Come on, Sel. Let's head into the living room before I clobber him.", Doris said as Selina smirks following her friend.
"Sure. I'm sure Hunter doesn't mind two girls around him. Meow.", she said purring at the air rider as he blushed.
The three were in the living room as the Metropolis 500 was still on. Selina looks at Doris with a smirk thinking that racing was her favorite.
"And to think you weren't interested in racing.", she quipped but Doris growled.
"It's that dweeb over here who likes it! Give me the remote!", Doris said demanding the device from Hunter but the air rider moved it away.
"No! It's mine!", he said but Doris tried to pounce but misses falling onto the floor. Hunter snickered like Muttley as Selina cracked a giggle. Unaware to Hunter, Doris pounced on him as both were wrestling for the remote.
"Give it here, dweeb! You're deadmeat!", Doris yelled as Hunter grunted with Doris's breasts pressed against his face. Selina noticing this tried to warn her of the position she was in.
"Doris?"
"Not now, Selina! I'm trying to get the remote back!", Doris said cutting her friend off but Hunter blushed muffling under the mounds of flesh.
"Your "pillows" are pressing against his face. Look down.", Selina said as Doris groaned but she gasped seeing the air rider against her boobs jumps away in alarm. Hunter gets up goofily grinning as Selina facepalmed at Doris.
"Now look what you've done. You broke him.", Selina said as the ginger snorted.
"Oh shut it, Sel! And you, wipe that look off your mug!", Doris barked at Hunter but to no avail.
"If I were to die right now, make it like this. Hahahaha!", he said goofily but Doris bonks him to snap him out of it. The air rider yelps and rubs his head as his icepack fell on the floor during the scuffle.
"Owww! Crimanittly!", he said rubbing his head as Doris shoved the icepack back into his hands.
"Quit your groaning, dweeb! And take this icepack to put back on!", Doris said as Hunter tried to put it on but his arms were aching a little from the crash. Selina elbowed Doris to help him out much to the giant's chagrin.
"Give me that, twerp! I'll put it on!", the ginger said as she places the icepack on his head and ties it back on. Unaware to the trio, the channel changed to a familiar show during the scuffle. The giant and the air rider gasped while Selina groaned at the show they're looking at.
"Oh my gosh! Jerks is on!", they both chorused as Selina hissed at the show.
"There's something you two have in common. That sham of a show of stupid stunts.", Selina said deadpanning as Doris and Hunter forgot about their scuffle and watched the show where they laughed at the guys getting chased by angry bulls followed by them getting rammed into the cowpies. Selina felt disgusted at the stunt as she voiced her opinion.
"Yuck! That's not even mud! I hope they take a nice bath after that.", she said as Hunter smirked.
"Oh come on. It can't be that bad. I tipped cows weeks ago. Good times.", he said with a smile but Selina shook her head while Doris grew amused.
"Yeah. According to the DVDs you boys passed out, you tipped a bull and got chased by it and a flock of sheep. It'll serve you right if you got tossed into the "mud" for what you did.", Selina said crossing her arms as Doris nodded.
"Yeah. It'll be a shame for the bull to get you before I do. That's my job!", Doris smiled evilly as Hunter rolled his eyes at the ginger.
"Come off it, Red. You'll never clobber me. And Selina, cow tipping was the best thing that ever happened to me. Next to putting laxatives in the soup at the teacher's lounge.", Hunter chuckled as Selina facepalmed.
"That was you that did that? I expect Hal or Barry but not you. Geez, those boys are putting a bad influence on you.", she said as Doris snickered.
"Oh please. They didn't know it was me. Besides, teens like us need to have fun once in a while.", he chuckled as the next stunt showed the guys wearing zebra costumes with lions roughhousing them. Doris and Hunter laughed at the scene as Selina groaned.
"You guys are such fools at times.", she said as the pair laughed themselves silly. Soon, a text from Hunter's phone buzzed being that of Diana. The text lets him know that the Amazon on behalf of the Superhero Girls that they apologize for being tied up in busy errands. The air rider texted back with a smile not mad about the whole thing understanding they do what they need to do. Doris noticing this glared as Selina giggled.
"Who are you texting, nerd?! It better not be one of those dorks! Especially Diana or that Beecher!", she said glaring as Hunter was unfazed.
"Look here, woman! They're just checking up on me. Why be territorial about it?", he said as Doris comically had a wolf snarl sound effect while glaring. Selina chuckled to herself as she watched the two bicker.
"I swear you two bicker like a couple.", she said as the bickering teens stopped and yelled at the smirking girl.
"No we don't!", they chorused pointing fingers at each other as their face blushed.
"You're faces don't lie. Face it, Doris. You like him and you couldn't stop growling every time he's with the girls.", Selina said as Doris huffed.
"I wouldn't date this dweeb if we were the last ones on Earth!", Doris said as Hunter gagged at the concept.
"You tell yourselves that.", Selina smirked as the three sat and watched the Jerks episode. However, a stomach rumbled being Hunter's. The girls looked at the air rider after hearing his stomach. Hunter had a sheepish grin on his face.
"That's my stomach. All this banter is making me hungry. I wonder if Babs can deliver some burritos over here. That is if your parents doesn't mind.", Hunter said turning to Doris as the ginger huffed.
"My parents doesn't even notice. You call the joint for some burrito buckets!", the giant said as Hunter sighed.
"You do it. You have a phone you know.", he nonchalantly said but Doris shoves the phone in his hands.
"Just do it, barfbag!", Doris said as he grumbled while calling the number.
Moments later, the doorbell rang as Doris drags Hunter to the door. The air rider groaned as the giant kept dragging him to the door.
"You couldn't be any gentle?", he protested as Doris huffed.
"Shut it, twerp and get our food!", she grumbled as the air rider grumbled back. He opened the door revealing to be Babs as the delivery girl. She gasped seeing Doris and Selina beside Hunter.
"Hunter? Why are you at Doris's house? And what's with the icepack on your head?", the ginger said eyeing Doris and Selina.
"Before you accuse us, nerd! Your friend here crashed into a tree in my parents' yard! My parents are upgrading his airboard while I keep him company.", Doris said snorting at the tech wiz.
"That explains it. Hunter, you should be more careful on that thing. You'll get amnesia that way.", Babs said with a pout as Hunter chuckled handing her the cash.
"Don't worry, Babs. I'll be careful. Just thought about how stupid Lobo was to be grounded for 2 weeks after trashing the principal's office.", the air rider said as Babs understood why he crashed as she hands him the food.
"I see what you mean, Hunter. That idiot almost got suspended again but was serving detention for 2 weeks.", the ginger wiz said as Hunter nodded.
"Hopefully after this weekend, Lobo will be off his grounding so we can pull pranks with Hal and his crew.", Hunter said with a smile as Babs shook her head.
"Please tell me you're not getting into trouble with Lobo. Diana would freak if you do.", Babs said as Hunter snickered with Doris and Selina elbowing him to hurry up. Babs smirking at Hunter's predicament with the two girls amused her and thanked Hunter for the money.
"I'll see you later, Hunter. I gotta finish my shift at Burrito Bucket. Hopefully we and the others can do something that doesn't involve you crashing into trees.", Babs teased as Hunter rolled his eyes.
"Har-har-har. Very funny, Babs. Anyway, smell you later.", he smiled as Babs nodded waving goodbye returning to her shift. Once the ginger left in a ccar, Doris impatiently drags Hunter inside with Selina closing the door.
Back in the living room, the three teens were eating their burritos in the bucket while watching Beavis and Butthead after Jerks went off. The air rider snickered when the scene showed Beavis and Butthead sitting on a copy machine copying pictures of their butts. Selina crossed her arms as Hunter snickered while Doris rolled her eyes.
"Don't you and Lobo get any ideas doing that at school.", Selina said glaring at Hunter as Doris nodded.
"Yeah. I'd gag seeing your hairy butt on the walls in the school.", Doris said munching on her burrito as Selina and Hunter raised their eyebrows.
"How do you know that my butt is hairy? Don't tell me you were peeking!", Hunter said smirking with Doris facepalming.
"No way I did that, you nerd! Besides, us girls don't have hair on our butts!", Doris said as Selina nodded. The teens ate their burritos or rather Doris and Hunter scarfing while Selina ate properly. She scoffs at the two chowhounds watching them burp loud.
"Ugh! You two are disgusting!"
PBBT!
As Selina says this, a flatulent noise came out of her as Doris and Hunter smirked. Selina waved her hands in defense as the air rider laughed.
"Says you, Selina! Welcome to the club!", he laughed while Doris snickered. Selina had to think fast but she had an idea to stop those two from laughing.
"I dare you two to make out for a few minutes.", Selina said as the laughing stopped with Hunter and Doris paled.
"RUH_ROH!"
"You must be joking, Sel! I'm not putting my mouth on this twerp!"
"Me neither!"
"I mean you, nerd!"
"Whatever!", the two teens bickered but Selina smirks.
"Do it or I'll tell the school that you, Hunter put laxatives in the teacher's lunches and you Doris for pulling the fire alarm to bail on the science test.", Selina said as Doris growled while Hunter gagged.
"I'm going to hurl my lunch out!", Hunter said but Doris threatened him with her fist.
"Don't you even dare! I'm not cleaning up any of your barf! Let's just get this over with! Come here!", Doris said pulling Hunter towards her face as she went in kissing him. The makeout session made Selina squeal on the inside as the kissing went on with them falling onto the floor. Noises were made as Selina counted 7 minutes on her watch as she saw Hunter's icepack on the floor.
"Uhhh. You can stop now. I got enough footage on camera. Guys. HEEEY!"
"AAUGG!", Doris and Hunter got startled by Selina's yell as they breathed for air. Selina smirked as Doris and Hunter glared at her.
"Don't make us do that again!", they chorused as Selina stopped her laughter. The trio continued on watching TV for a good while until Doris's parents came into the living room with Hunter's airboard with the teens looking at the vehicle.
"Hunter, your airboard is successfully upgraded. It took a little Longer with the software update and adding some parts. But you'll be able to love it.", Mr. Zel said as Hunter jumped for joy as Doris facepalmed at the scene while Selina smirked.
"Sweet! I wonder what is on my board? I'm so stoked!", the air rider said as Mrs. Zell guided him over to the board with Doris and Selina watching.
"Your board has collision detectors where if it senses an obstacle, it will beep and vibrate preventing any more crashes. I'm sure you'll be more careful after this.", the woman chuckled as Hunter sheepishly grinned while Doris and Selina snorted.
"That's a relief. I can text and board at the same—"
"Don't even think about it!", Doris and Selina yelled as Hunter grinned.
"Anyway, I upgraded your G-Diffusers to handle the sea as it can act little as a surfboard. Just access Sea Mode in your tuner ring and it will change into it.", Mrs. Zell said as Hunter cheered.
"Can't wait to try that out at the Metropolis Beach! Surf's up!", the air rider said as Doris and Selina deadpanned at his enthusiasm. Doris's parents chuckled at his antics as they explained some more of the features on his board. Aftwewards, the time came to evening as Hunter's phone buzzed with a text from his parents letting him know to come home.
"Thanks, guys. But my mom just texted me. She wants me home for dinner as my grandparents are staying at my house.", Hunter said as the Zells nodded.
"You're welcome, Hunter. You're welcome to visit us and my daughter anytime.", Mr. Zell said as Doris paled at the idea as Selina laughed on the inside while Hunter grinned.
"Say. Doris and her friend can walk you back home.", Mr. Zell said as Mrs. Zell agreed.
"Certainly. Doris, why don't you and your friend guide this lad back to his home. Sure beats him airboarding by himself at night.", Mrs. Zell said as Doris groaned at the idea. However, Selina drags her while Doris pulls Hunter out after the Zells gave back the board and tuner ring back to him.
Outside, the air rider stored the board in his capsule before the ladies took him home. The house was a couple blocks away as the air rider chuckled to himself thinking about two girls walking him home.
"Sweet. Two chicks walking me home? I'm a stud!", he said as Doris and Selina glanced at him.
"Don't push it, runt!", Doris said as Selina smirked. The three teens finally went to Hunter's house walking up to the door. Doris sighed and did the unexpected kissing Hunter on the lips as Hunter smirked. Selina squealed deep down as Doris blushed but shook it off and grabbed Hunter.
"Remember, twerp! This is our little secret! Tell this to anyone and you're dogmeat! Got it?!", Doris said as Hunter nodded. She smiled putting him down.
"Good. Well, see you later nerd!", Doris said as she and Selina left. Afterwards, Hunter used his spare house key to get in the house and greeted his folks offscreen.
In the neighborhood, Selina and Doris were walking to the direction of their houses. Selina turned to Doris with a smirk as she rubbed her hands together.
"I knew you like him, Doris. Maybe Hunter's right. He's a stud equal or more to Hal's level.", she said as Doris rolled her eyes.
"Can it, Sel! Our run-ins with that nerd and those girls will be the same as usual! And you better not let Harley or Pam know of this! I swear they'll ask me questions to death! And never to that walking fur rug!", Doris snarled at the part mentioning Cheetah as Selina chuckled.
"Not even Leslie?", Selina teased as Doris facepalmed.
"Definitely not her! Not after that gossip stunt she pulled the last time!", she warned as Selina giggled. Doris groaned at her friend as she went into deep thought for a moment pulling out a heart shaped frame with Hunter's picture in his football attire and blushed similar to another bully girl from another series about a football headed kid. Selina caught her friend reminiscing as she teased.
"Are you reminiscing, Doris? I knew it!", she said teasing as Doris gasped putting away the frame and glared at her.
"No I wasn't! You're just seeing things!", Doris said defensively as Selina smirks.
"Sure you say that.", she said slyly as Doris deadpanned and shrugged as the girls went home.
A/N: That's Chappy 8, folks! I made Giganta kind of like Helga from Hey Arnold having a secret crush on our main protagonist in this fic. I figured I put a breather chappy in this fic to give Giganta and Catwoman the spotlight. The scientists who are Giganta's parents debuted in the DCSG short "#ARTIFICIALINTELLIGENCE. I wanted to give them some love in the chappy. Expect me to show them more attention in later chapters. Anyway, tell me what you think in the reviews. I appreciate it. Anyway, LilMancub out and I'll see you all in the next one.
