Happy Easter everyone! Thought I'd post this up even though I'm super busy this weekend. I know this one is short, but I love Aquaman and this song together. I hope you enjoy!
The Team had given up looking for Red Arrow; Batman was hiding him well for their little "chat". Lenora thought it best to divert everyone's attention back to the stage, "So guys...Who next?" One wheel-chair bound boy spoke up meekly, but with Lenora' oversensitive ears, she easily heard him. Though she could have jumped off the stage and zoomed over to him, she walked calmly down the steps and took her time to walk to his side, microphone still in hand. "What was that, sweetie?"
The boy looked away shyly, but with a little encouragement finally said into the mic, "Aquaman." Even in her blue bandage dress that may have been a little short for this event, she perched down to offer the boy compassion. "Is Aquaman your favorite hero?" She asked him. The frail boy nodded eagerly as he spoke, "Yes, he's my favorite." "And why is that?" She continued to question him thinking it would make the League feel a little more comfortable doing this.
"I've been paralyzed since I was four so I don't walk or run like other kids because my legs don't work. I can't swim either, but I always wanted to. He can swim and sometimes I pretend that I'm him and I can swim too."
Everyone stayed silent. No one knew what to say or do, but Lenora took care of that. "What's your name, sweetie?" "My name's Thomas," the boy replied. "And how old are you Thomas?" "I'm nine and a half," he smiled at her. "Well Thomas, I'm sure Aquaman would love to sing next. Wouldn't you, Aquaman?"
There needn't have been anymore prodding on her part; Aquaman was already standing on the stage waiting for the music to begin. "I have only heard this song once before, so you'll have to forgive me if I'm terrible," he spoke to the audience. With almost the Flash's speed, Lenora appeared on the stage with props in hand. "If you're going to do this song, do it right!" She said to him. She handed him a baseball cap, lined sunglasses, and a huge chain with a dollar sign and he proceeded to put them on, sliding the cap to the side.
The League looked at him trying to hold in laughter. He looked ridiculous and they couldn't wait to hear what he was going to sing. Aqualad covered him mouth with both hands trying to hold the laughter in. 'If only Mera could see this.' The twins couldn't hold it any longer, and they exploded in to fits of laughter, which only prompted the rest of the Team minus Red Arrow, who was still missing, to laugh as well.
No music played as Aquaman began singing. He held out a very long...
"My...
The audience was still trying to figure out what he was going to sing when he suddenly continued with the actual song.
"Music hits me so hard
Makes me say oh my Lord
Thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet
Feels good when you know you're down
A superdope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I'm known as such
And this is a beat you can't touch"
"Who knew he could rap like that?" Came Flash's voice from above the music. If they had been surprised with Red Arrow and Lioness, then they were all officially blown away with Aquaman's performance. "Damn," said Superman.
"Fresh new kicks and pants
You got it like that now you know wanna dance
So move out of your seat
And get a fly girl and catch this beat
While it's rollin' hold on
Pump a little bit and let them know it's going on
Like that, like that Cold on a mission so fall on back
Let 'em know that you're too much
And this is a beat they can't touch
Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Break it down!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)"
Aquaman began to do the side step dance at this point. The audience cheered him on enthusiastically, shouting and cheering loudly and clapping along.
"Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Break it down!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Stop! Hammer time!"
He ended with his hand facing the audience in a stop motion. He put the mic back to his mouth, "How was that Thomas?" Applause broke out in the audience and Lenora stood by Thomas again, putting the mic up toward him. He had a huge smile across his face as he said, "Awesome!" Aquaman walked down the stage steps over to him, put the cap on his head and hugged him. 'Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea.'
