Chapter 34: Wedding Bells Ringing
We take a break from the chaos and from all the seriousness of this story to bring you a more upbeat and joyous occasion; Tigra and Blue Beetle's wedding. Since arriving in the new universe, Tigra had taken a liking to the cerulean costumed hero, which turned into deep affection and love the more time she spent with him. Ted had also taken a liking to Tigra, and, despite what many would think would be a shallow and shameless appearance, the inventor actually saw Greer as a deep, understanding, compassionate, and beautiful young woman. The two grew so fond of each other that, when Ted proposed, Greer happily accepted.
Tigra had made her feelings known to Yellow Jacket about the matter that time they had met. The striped heroine could not honestly be with someone if they felt as though they had such a deep jealousy for family. Hank's admission of being a little jealous was enough for Tigra to reject him and marry Blue Beetle.
At present, both the bride and groom are preparing for their moment at the altar. Blue Beetle is standing with his best man, Booster Gold, as well as Guy Gardner, Mister Miracle as ushers, and Martian Manhunter, who was playing the role of father of the bride. The inventor fidgeted with his tie,
"I hope this is right."
Booster smirked,
"The tie, or the wedding?"
Guy folded his arms,
"I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm jealous. You're marrying probably the hottest woman on the planet."
The hero from the future grinned,
"And flexible. I mean, she is part cat."
Ted gave a look through the mirror,
"You two are unbelievable, you know that? First, you convince me to have a bachelor party-."
The red-headed Green Lantern scoffed,
"Which you should have had. I mean, my bar would have been perfect."
Mister Miracle folded his arms,
"I thought your bar was only good for drunken brawls."
Guy shrugged,
"It is. But, it can be for a man's last night of freedom."
Blue Beetle looked at Guy,
"It's a complete mystery to me how Ice puts up with you. You know, if she found out about half the stuff you pulled-."
Guy waved his finger,
"What she doesn't know can't hurt her. Or me, for that matter."
Mister Miracle whispered to J'onn,
"Fifty bucks says there's a tape and it'll go viral."
The alien hero nodded,
"I shall take that bet."
Meanwhile, Tigra, in her wedding dress, was checking herself in the mirror as well. With her were Ice as the maid of honor, and Mary Marvel, Big Barda, Looker as bridesmaids. Tigra looked again,
"Are you sure this all right?"
Ice chuckled,
"Yes, Greer. It is."
Sue Dibny, wife of Elongated Man, walked in,
"Greer, honey, a letter came for you."
Greer said,
"Could you open it please? I just got my nails done."
As Sue opened it, she said,
"Greer, it's from Farrah."
At this, the tigress spun around,
"What?"
Sue handed her the envelope and there was a letter inside. It read,
Sorry I couldn't make it, sis. I bet you're the best bride right now. Things have been kind of hectic lately, from what we've been doing to me being pregnant. Leon's all right too; and I think I'm starting to get through to him. He got captured by the military, but he managed to escape without killing anyone. He's with some girl named Mirage finding her daughter; and he's promising me there's nothing going on. I believe him.
Greer, I know how important this day to you is, and I want to be there. But, I'm expecting babies in a few weeks, and I just want you to know that we're sisters forever.
Signed, Persiana.
A tear filled Greer's eye as she finished reading the note. Mary asked,
"Is something wrong, Greer?"
The tiger heroine swallowed and said,
"My sister's pregnant."
Mary and Ice cheered. Tora smiled,
"That's wonderful. When are the babies being born?"
Greer shook her head,
"She didn't say. But, I'm glad she's still safe."
She gave the letter back to Sue and said,
"Can you keep this safe until after the ceremony?"
Sue nodded,
"Of course."
A few minutes had gone by before the ceremony began. It was a joyous occasion that many of the guests were enjoying every second. Then, things took a turn for the more interesting, and more insane.
The priest declared,
"If, there be any reason, why this man and this woman should not be wed, let them speak now, or forever hold their peace?"
For a brief moment, Booster Gold was thinking of shouting something to make himself look like an idiot. However, someone else was going to do that for him as the doors to the church swung open and a familiar voice cried out,
"GODDESS, I HAVE COME TO RESCUE YOU!"
That someone was Catman.
Tigra clutched the bouquet tightly; the anger in her face was all too evident. She wanted to kill Catman, and she did not care she was wearing an expensive wedding dress to do it in.
Blue Beetle said,
"Catman, please. This is a wedding and-."
Catman sauntered closer to the altar,
"Silence, fool! Can't you see Tigra belongs with me? You have poisoned her mind with your sick and twisted poisons of seduction!"
Booster and Guy burst out laughing, while Ralph Dibny, the Elongated Man, failed to stop laughing. Sue and Tora slapped them all in the back of the head.
Tigra snarled,
"Catman, this is my wedding, and, if you don't leave, I will kill you."
The priest said,
"This is a house of God! There will be no violence!"
Catman declared,
"Of course, as soon as I take my bride and whisk her away to a far off land."
"CATMAN!"
A booming female voice echoed on the other side of the church. It was Catwoman, and she had a stroller with three babies inside. Selina shouted,
"YOU BASTARD! YOU GOT ME PREGNANT! I WAS SAVING MYSELF FOR BATMAN! YOU GOT ME DRUNK AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME!"
Catman shouted,
"You got me drunk and took advantage of me, you slutty seductress!"
Catwoman growled,
"These are your kids, and you aren't spending all your time chasing done every fur-covered bitch that you find! You're taking care of OUR children, starting right now!"
There was a boisterous applause from everyone. Catman looked aghast,
"But…but…but."
Catwoman grabbed Catman by the ear and pulled him out. Everyone then turned back to the priest, who stood their, blinking. He said,
"Is it all right if I declared you husband and wife now? I suddenly have the urge to retire from the church."
Guy shouted,
"Take it off!"
Greer rolled her eyes and then said to the priest,
"All right with us."
The priest nodded,
"Fine. I really need to get drunk and forget this whole thing ever happened."
