A few minutes ago is when I noticed today is Sunday. This will be the last time I will update on a Sunday, but I'll continue updating on Monday's. Thank you all for your reviews. Just so you know, this is before Red Arrow is inducted into the League.
Warnings: Some bad words, but not that bad. Enjoy~
Those two weeks flew by pretty fast. On the Saturday of the first week, Deshawn's cousin arrived, causing everybody to be surprised. Well, at least Angelina and Dany. They were used to Deshawn being as obnoxious and bothersome as possible, and they couldn't believe he was actually related to a beautiful girl who's jokes weren't cheesy at all, and she knew how to act around other people. Yeah, they felt kind of embarassed that they thought everybody from Deshawn's family would be like him, but they had met his brothers.
The three girls quickly formed a bond, which meant trouble for all the boys. Even if the boys were five; if you counted Speedy; they were horribly outnumbered when it came to the girls anger. They learned soon enough to never get in the way of teenage girls and chocolate. And, they also learned that they never, ever, try to tell a street-wise girl what to do. Even Jason was scared of the three girls after that encounter.
Fortunately for Dany, Raquel and Deshawn went with Virginia, Angelina, and her to the mall to buy a dress, and Raquel steered Virginia to a dress that was perfect for her real age. Somehow Raquel found out, and now treated her like a little girl and not a teenager. The dress was a simple tight, white dress, with long sleeves and a collar. She wore black boots, the gold necklace she used for the dance, and dark brown contacts.
As the large group walked into the stadium, Dany couldn't help but be in awe. They had statues of every great figure in history, but not only from the U.S, but from all around the world. She could see Ghandi as she walked down the halls to get to the luxury boxes, Martin Luthor King Jr. a few feet to his right, planted in front of the entrance to their luxury box, and she swore she saw Agüeybana further down the hall. Pictures were strewn throughout the room, some of the heroes that would be participating, others of world leaders, and a few of famous athletes. She smiled when she saw Carlos Arroyo, the famous Puertorrican basketball player.
Instead of seats, there were couches and recliners, and the walls that faced the stadium were actually made of glass, so they could see the games comfortably. Wally had decided to go with them because his uncle actually left this information hidden until Friday. Yeah, maybe he didn't trust Wally or he didn't remember, but Wally agreed with Dany. He wanted to spend today with friends, not with people that thought of him as a ticking time bomb. He was wearing light blue contacts, with a blue shirt, black long sleeved shirt on top of that, and jeans.
"Dude! This place is awesome!" Deshawn yelled, running to the glass, pressing his hands and face to it.
Dany sighed, shook her head, and smiled at Angelina. She had her blonde hair loose, cascading down to her middle back, and left sided bang. She wore a light pink dress that reached a little above her knees, with gold high heels, and a gold necklace. Raquel was wearing a blue dress, that fell below her knees, with a black belt, and black boots.
"Man, you're right, Deshee!" Wally yelled, running next to the boy and also pressing against the glass to look.
Everybody in the room laughed at their excitement, but fell silent when the announcer said that the games were about to begin. Virginia made all of the teens sit on the couch, and sat next Benny on the chairs. Jason was stuck next to Deshawn and Roy, much to his chagrin, and Roy was sitted next to Wally. Yeah, today would not be a peaceful day.
Superman was the first to arrive, a big smile on his face, which made Wally and Dany want to slap him. Conner was one of the people on the team that Dany still respected, Aqualad being the other. He started talking about all the people that helped the games be possible, and one of those people was Benjamin Siegel. Once his speech was over, the crowd went wild with applauding, Benny and Virginia joining in. After that, the rest of the League arrived in their own forms of transportation, Flash, Batman, Green Arrow, Aquaman, and Black Canary being the only ones that didn't fly in.
Batman arrived with Robin, Green Arrow with Artemis, Aquaman with Aqualad, Black Canary with Superboy, Martian Manhunter with Ms. Martian, and Zatarra with Zatanna. Flash was the only one that had a sidekick that didn't show up. Wally couldn't help but frown. Maybe that was another bit of information that his uncle had kept for the last minute.
"Now that the members of the League are here, how about the other competitors enter?" Superman asked, his smile a little more forced now that Superboy was there.
Dany crossed her arms and rolled her eyes, Wally knowing why. But, he couldn't say anything because more heroes started marching in. Icon, Plastic Man, the Atom, Vigilante walking in with crutches, and more heroes that Wally couldn't name. But, Dany could. Shining Knight, Crimson Avenger and Wing, Star-Spangled Kid and Stripesy, Vejigante, Katanna, Deadman, el Diablo, Booster Gold, Fire and Ice, Wild Dog, and more heroes.
The stage was filled up by the heroes, which were making the whole crowd go wild, all of them with bright smiles. The crowd was cheering on, and Angelina and Deshawn were cheering along with them.
"We are here for two very important things," Superman started, "One, is for charity!" He announced, making the crowd cheer. "All of the money gained here will be given to different charities, and I mean all of it!" He said, eyeing Plastic Man discretely, which meant almost no one say. "And, the other reason is for you! We are here to compete, for your entertainment!" He said, making the crowd go crazy yet again.
Dany smiled, thinking that she might finally be able to see the Soldiers in action again. Now Wonder Woman stepped up, talking about what were games. "The first of the games will be archery. Green Arrow, Artemis, myself, and Shado will be the only ones competing. Red Arrow will not be able to." She announced, making Roy frown slightly. Black Canary was the only one to actually tell him this, but he lied and told her he was going to meet up with old friends.
The crowd went wild, and all the heroes departed, getting ready for their own events. Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Artemis and Shado all moved out of the stage and to the sides of the stadium. Martian Manhunter pressed a button, and the stage started to sink, until it was fully in the ground, grass covering it with different targets set all around. Some were floating, others were big and on the ground, others small, but the hardest were inside a makeshift river.
"Let the games begin!" Wonder Woman announced, walking to the line that marked where they could stand. The other three competitors followed her, Shado being the last one to arrive.
"I bet that Green Arrow will kick their buts." Deshawn bet.
Dany scoffed, arms crossed, then said, "No way, man, I bet Shado will smoke all their asses." Getting a glare from Virginia.
But, before she could scold Dany, Jason shushed everybody. "Wonder Woman's getting ready to shoot." He explained, and ignoring the glare he got from Dany, continued watching. They were shooting at a big target first, which meant they would be using the same one first.
Dany scoffed and looked at Wonder Woman, who nocked the arrow, aimed, then let it fly. Right in the outer yellow rim of the target. The crowd went wild with excitement, then it was Artemis' turn. She shot it in the inner red ring, making Roy, Dany, and Wally break out in cheers. Everyone, but Jason, looked at them as if they were crazy, but they just continued being happy. She glared at the target with pure hatred, but then let Green Arrow step up. He hit the inner yellow circle, making everybody go crazy wild.
The three that were cheering before shut up, hating that Green Arrow got a good shot. And then it was Shado's turn. She stepped up elegantly with grace and poise, and nocked the arrow. She aimed for a few seconds, then let it fly, the arrow splitting Green Arrow's in half and breaking through the target. The crowd let out a huge cheer at her victory, and she adressed them. She bowed, then turned to her other competitors and did the same. Green Arrow and Wonder Woman returned it without hesitation, but Artemis was reluctant.
The day continued like this, with different heroes competing in different things, and Dany, Wally, and Roy cheering wildly when one of the sidekicks or heroes they didn't like screwed up. Now was the shooting competition, which meant Vigilante, el Diablo, and Wild Dog were competing. The two men stepped onto the stage, their targets already set. They had to run through a course, shooting all of the ballons, bad guys, and ice cream cones on the way. When they were ready to run, suddenly another man stepped up, and he was not a hero.
"What the hell is Deadpool doing here?" Jason growled, getting up from his seat and glaring at him.
Dany looked from him to the man that just came in, wondering what he had done to get Jason like this. And, from the slight twitch on Vigilante's face, she guessed that he annoyed him.
"What's wrong, Red?" Benny asked, looking at the younger man.
"That fucking bastard is not a hero, and he owes me money." He growled, then an idea came to him. "If he can compete, so can I." he said, then looked down at Dany. "Come on, Carmen, you're going down there with me." He said, grabbing her hand and hauling her up.
"Whoah, wait, what the heck are you fools going to do?" Raquel asked, getting up.
Dany looked at her with wide eyes, not knowing what to answer. "Come on, you kids can come with us too." He said, then started dragging Dany out of the room.
"What the hell!" Dany yelled as she was dragged through the halls, Wally, Roy, Raquel, Angelina, and Deshawn following them.
"Hush you!" Jason scolded, then smiled at her. "Wally, go to my car and get the backpacks I have there." He said, throwing the keys to the teen.
Wally looked at with a raised eyebrow, shrugged, then sped off to the car. "Dany, call Speedy." He commanded. She looked at him as if he was crazy, but then did so. This was the first time she saw him so excited.
"Speedy, you hear me?" She asked through their telepathic link.
"What's up, Ms. Boss Person?" Speedy asked happily.
She smiled at the name, then said, "Jason told me to call you. Get to the new Metropolis stadium as fast as you can." She said, then turned around to Jason.
"You got it, Boss."
"He's coming." She told him, making him smile evily. "What are you going to do, Jason?" She asked, forgetting that Deshawn, Angelina, and Raquel were there.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Raquel exclaimed, stepping up and looking at both of them worried. "What is going on?" She asked.
"Well, I just got an idea, and I will need your powers to help." he said.
She gasped, then glared. "How do you know I have powers?"
"You just told me." He said, smirking.
She looked at him, shocked, then glared and crossed her arms. Deshawn was about to speak, but Wally and Speedy arrived then and there, Speedy with two bags in his mouth and Wally carrying two more. Jason smiled wickedly, then took the backpacks from Speedy's mouth. "I knew this was a good idea." He said, then threw one at Dany. "Suit up."
She looked inside the pack, to find clothing. She looked up at Jason, to see him slinging the bag on his shoulder, then throwing the two others at Angelina and Deshawn. "You two have to dress up, too." He said.
They blinked at him, wondering what had just happened. But, instead of any of the teens stepping up and asking what was happening, it was Roy. "What the heck are you planning, Jason?" He asked. "And why do they need to dress up?"
"Simple Roy Joy. If they're actually letting a mercenary like Deadpool compete, then so are we." He said.
Roy looked at him as if he was crazy, but Wally didn't let him let a curse loose. "Dude, we can't go as Red Arrow and Kid Flash. We'll get in trouble with the League." He said.
Jason smiled wickedly, then looked at Raquel. "You have your suit?" He asked.
She nodded, albeit reluctantly. "Never leave the house without it."
Then he looked at Wally and Roy. "You have your suits on?" He asked.
They both nodded. "You don't have to worry about the Leaue, guys. We'll make alterations to your suits, nice and simple." He said.
Wally was about to say that that was stupid, but Jason cut him off. "I don't want to hear it. Dany, Raquel, Angelina, the girl's bathroom is over there. Get dressed." He commanded, pointing in front of him.
The girl's nodded and went in that direction, not knowing what to expect with Jason. Jason the looked at the boys, and smiled. "What are you waiting for, the boy's bathroom is next to that, get dressed." He commanded.
Deshawn sighed and started walking, Wally and Roy following. Jason then went after them, getting the last stall and started getting dressed in his Red Hood costume. As Wally stepped out of the stall wearing the Kid Flash costume, he couldn't help but feel that something bad was going to happen.
Five reviews and I will update tomorrow. And did you like Jason's little moment of insanity? I personally did.
