"So our first performance is in Fire Fountain City?" Dick asked, an eyebrow raised as he and his manager, Shih, rode in a carriage to a local theater. "They couldn't have come up with something better for the name of the Fire Nation? Maybe Firelandia?"
The older man nodded, but as he opened his mouth to speak, the carriage came to a sudden stop and the two lurched forward. Shih looked out the window. "What's going on out there?!" He cried, seeing a large group of people around a performer. The ninja superhero hopped out of the carriage and weaved his way through the crowd.
"Superstar, comin' through, here make wa- ZEE?! Is that you?!' His eyes fell upon the dark haired girl with bright blue eyes. She gasped and hugged him around the neck.
"D!" She cried, still smiling. "I had a feeling that you were here, but I wasn't sure! I'm making a living with simple magic tricks! Red and Rocket are here, too!"
Dick lit up, grinning. "Take me!" He looked back to Shih. "Change my room to a large suite with four beds and maybe a sofa. Like a really comfy seat thingy."
He and Zatanna ran off, running into an alley.
"Emoh ym ot su ekat."
They disappeared in a slight purple smoke, leaving no trace.
The young pair of still technically teens appeared in a tree house in a forest, simple but advanced. It had only a few windows and a door way on the roof. There were also beds of vines and leaves and cloth thrown all over the place. There were two figures on the floor, sleeping on their makeshift beds. Dick leaned closer to get a better look at them. It was Roy and Raquel! He shook them awake.
Raquel shot straight up and looked at Dick with an astonished face and then tackled him into a hug.
"Ugh, Jade, Lian is crying, go like change her diaper or something..." The man grumbled, blinking a few times. "Dick?!" He cried, his eyes coming into focus. He did the same as Raquel.
"Hello. It's me." He laughed, along with the other three. "I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet~" Dick sang the rest of the song until Roy put a finger to his lips.
"Please no. I don't like that song. It's a bout a girl who hadn't gotten over the guy she broke up with." He said, glaring at the singer.
Dick grinned. "Okay, so, speaking of songs; guess who is a superstar now~"
"I can completely see that. It's just obvious. You were born to be famous." Raquel smiled.
"So I'm on tour and this place was one of my many stops. I was just doing solos. But do you guys wanna make an acapella group?" Dick looked at them longingly. The three knew that if Dick didn't get his way, he would pout and the pout could make Red Tornado's heart melt. They all agreed.
"By the way, I'm Din-Din. But just call me Din. Zee, you can be still be Zatanna, but expect to be called Tanna and not Zee, Roy, you're Rai, and Raquel you're Rel."
"Okay, hold hands guys." Zatanna stated, the four forming a ring and holding hands. "Morf emac ew erehw yella eht ot su ekat."
The group made it back to the hotel, where Shih greeted them in the room.
"Who are they, Din?" The man said, nodding to the three.
"My band. We are going to need dancers, background singers, and fast learners." Dick said, counting off the people. "Their names are Tanna, Rai, and Rel." He grinned as Shih ran off to go find the people and rescheduled Dick's performance. The redhead turned to Dick with a raised eyebrow.
"Who was that?"
"My manager. He's yours now too. We need a band name."
"How about Fall Out Boy? We can just say that it's our name but even though it's the other, better band's name?" Raquel asked.
"No we are already doing that for our songs. They are just going to be acapella until the good guys win this war. But I'm gonna see if we can get a guitar, piano, and drum set."
"How about the Heroes? If the war ever ends, and the good guys win, we can explain why." Zatanna said, smiling slightly.
Dick snapped his fingers. "That's genius, Zee! Go, you!" He cried, kissing her cheek and sliding a hand around her waist.
Roy looked at Dick and stared. "What do you mean by good guys? There are?"
"Yeah, there was an ancient prophecy where the Master of all four elements, the Avatar, would arise as one of the four elements in the cycle, but they would still possess the four elements. The most recent and current one, a young Airbender, disappeared about a hundred years ago, but reappeared with two Water tribe teens and a boy with black hair, blue eyes, muscular, anger issues, is really strong, and can jump really high, but isn't an Airbender. He also is sometimes seen wearing a black shirt with a red 'S' symbol on it. I'm 10000% that guy is Conner. Also, we are going to be special guests at a circus coming up. Imma do my trapeze act and there is a strange, yellow haired, archer whose name is Lian Nguyen. Sound familiar?" Dick smirked.
"Artemis is here?" Zatanna cried. Her best friend was here and so was Conner. "That must mean M'gann, Kaldur... Wally could be here!"
"Yes, and this touring will act as a search for all of them. We are going to be staying at an inn soon before we go to the circus, the woman who runs the inn told us to stay way from her assistant. The assistant is a brownish red haired girl with amber eyes and is a meh cook. She makes really good snacks that are made of chocolate and other ingredients. She calls them cookies. The girl is really out-going and smiles a lot, but sometimes she cries for some one named Gar. Who do we know who is practically like that?"
"M'gann!" Raquel grinned. When she first joined the Team, Raquel felt out of place, but M'gann made sure she felt at home. In the process, M'gann became her best friend. The four girls were practically inseprable until Tula died. She was part of their group, along with Karen. That's when everyone started to fall apart. Raquel and Zatanna joined the Justice League, Artemis retired, M'gann became ruthless and she and Conner broke up. It was a horrible time.
"Exactly!" Dick cried, snapping his fingers, "Megs' place is going to be our next stop, then Arty's! Now- We gotta go practice. Remember our karaoke nights? And Acapella ones? Let's fucking do this."
Days later, they were ready for their performance.
The theater was full and they were ready to sing. The Heroes walked on stage, grinning as waving, Dick with a guitar in hand. He gave the guitar to Roy and took Zatanna by the hand. He was shirtless with black silk pants and Zatanna was wearing a flowing, carnation pink dress that came to her knees. The two were barefoot. In perfect unison, they said,
"As a verb, Fuck can be used to have sexual intercourse with (someone) or ruin or damage (something). As a noun it can be the act of sexual intercourse. As an adjective, it can be used alone or as a noun the fuck or a verb in various phrases to express anger, annoyance, contempt, impatience, or surprise, or simply for emphasis. It is a swear and vulgar."
Roy started to strum at the guitar as Raquel started to sing.
"Climb on board
We'll go slow and high tempo
Light and dark
Hold me hard and mellow"
Dick and Zatanna were dancing, spinning, and gracefully moving so that their bodies looked like water.
"I'm seeing the pain, seeing the pleasure
Nobody but you, 'body but me, 'body but us
Bodies together
I'd love to hold you close, tonight and always
I'd love to wake up next to you
I'd love to hold you close, tonight and always
I'd love to wake up next to you"
Dick dipped Zatanna, his head in the crook of her neck. His tongue darted out and licked her neck. Zatanna gasped but no one noticed.
"So we'll piss off the neighbours
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behavior
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
Be in the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking in, fighting on
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
It's our paradise and it's our war zone"
Zatanna was almost chasing Dick now, but the audience didn't know that. To them, Dick was teasing her, Zatanna trying to reach something, foreshadowing foreplay. This was a song about sex, after all.
"Pillow talk
My enemy, my ally
Prisoners
Then we're free, it's a thriller
I'm seeing the pain, seeing the pleasure
Nobody but you, 'body but me, 'body but us
Bodies together
I'd love to hold you close, tonight and always
I'd love to wake up next to you"
Dick was the one chasing now, adding a few hand springs and flips sometimes. Roy was singing with Raquel at this point.
"So we'll piss off the neighbours
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behaviour
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
Be in the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking in, fighting on
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
It's our paradise and it's our war zone"
Finally, Dick grabbed Zatanna's hand and he spun her into his arm. Roy and Raquel were singing strongly, alternating each line.
"Paradise, paradise, paradise, paradise
War zone, war zone, war zone, war zone
Paradise, paradise, paradise, paradise
War zone, war zone, war zone, war zone
So we'll piss off the neighbours
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behavior
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
Be in the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking in, fighting on
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
It's our paradise and it's our war zone"
Zatanna and Dick were staring into each other's eyes, lovingly at this point. Their faces were inches away. Neither knew what came over them, but their lips met in a passionate kiss.
"Finally! It was about fucking time! With all of that history crap!" Raquel said, throwing her arms in the air.
"So cute... I miss Jade, now... Thanks asshole." Roy said, glaring at Dick, but neither responded to their friends, their lips still locked. There were screeches in the audience.
"NO! DIN-DIN IS MINE! WHO ARE YOU- YOU HARPY?!" A girl shouted.
"No, Arty is the harpy." Raquel said, holding a finger up. Dick punched her arm hard.
Another girl gasped, "Did you just hit a girl?"
"Yeah, I was doing it for the Arty that Rel was just talking about."
"Can we just get to the next song, please?" Another voice, a male, shouted.
"Okay, this song is my favorite." Dick said, smiling. "It's Stitches." He winked to the boy, who smiled in return. "You, kid, go backstage. Ima have one of my peeps take you to a booth and we gon chat. With these guys." He gestured to his friends. "On with the show! Rai, Rel go with the boy. Me and Tanna got this."
Roy and Raquel walked off of the stage, waving bye to the people. Dick strummed at his guitar as Zatanna opened her mouth and started to sing.
"I thought that I'd been hurt before
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life
Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh, you lured me in, I couldn't sense the pain
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Now I'm gonna reap what I sow
I'm left seeing red on my own"
Dick joined her now, the two singing strong.
"Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself,
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
[x3:]
Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head
Needle and the thread,
Gonna wind up dead"
They were hushed at this point, but still strong. The two were alternating lines as of now.
"Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head, get you out of my head
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees (falling on my knees)
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches (and I'll be needing stitches)
Tripping over myself,
Aching, begging you to come help (begging, "Baby, please.")
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
(And now that)
I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
(And now that)
I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches"
The song finished with both holding the line for quite sometime. The audience was quiet for the entire performance, but they exploded into an applause when the song ended.
"Thank you, thank you." The two bowed in unison. "Our next performance will have those songs and one more, named Hey there, Zatanna."
"People! Look underneath your chairs!" Dick said and the crowd did just that. "Who here doesn't have one of the pink bags?" About six hands went up. "I want you guys to come backstage with me. Rai, Rel, bring the kid down and backstage!" Dick clasped his hands together, taking a step forward. "We were going to give out little cute goodie bags for everyone, including a doll of each of us, a poster of the Heroes, a.k.a. us, a shirt with your seat number on both sides and our band name right above the number on the back, and a certificate. We were short six bags, so we made it into a cute little thing. If you don't have the bags, you got the shirt but you and three other people will come backstage and party with us. So pick your peeps and come down. ILYSM~"
The party happened and then it ended. All of the guests were escorted home except for the one boy who spoke out earlier. His name was Tom. He had brown eyes, light, but yet tanned skin, and black hair. To the group, he seemed very familiar.
Dick walked up to him. "So, T, don't wanna be escorted home? Because sometimes angry fangirls might be out to get you for the merchandise."
Kai blushed and his shoulders sagged. "I kind of don't have a home. Or parents... I live here in the theater. The people who work here understand that. That's how I got into the show for a highly discounted price. I only had to pay 150 copper coins. That's how much I earn at work in a day. I work here. Usually, a worker would get 300 copper coins, which adds to 30 silver or 3 gold coins, but since I live here, I have to sacrifice some of my pay."
Dick grinned. "YAY! Another orphan! I love orphans! I'm one, as well."
Roy raised his hand. "I'm one, too."
"My dad is always away and I only see him on Father's Day, Mother's day, my birthday, his birthday, my mom's birthday, my mom's death day and maybe for the last two weeks of the year, but only if i'm lucky. So I'm practically one." Zatanna said.
"I'm good, both of my parents are in tact. Except my grandfather lost an arm in a war..." Raquel said, shrugging her shoulders.
"Hey, Tommy-Boy, you wanna come on tour with us?" Dick asked, smiling.
"I guess, is there, like, a rite of passage?
"There's one but we kinda can't do it because we are in the wrong place, you gotta be at the beach, but the other is just singing. Repeat after me." Dick drew in a breath.
"Oh I come from a land of a far away place
From a Faraway place
Where the Air Nomads once roamed
Where it's flat and immense
And the heat is intense
It's barbaric, but hey- it's home!
When the wind's at your back
And the sun's from the west
And the sand in the glass is right
Come on down, stop on by
Hop a bison and fly
To another Firelandia night!"
"Din, you dog. How long have you been preparing that?" Roy glared.
"A while. Anyway, repeat that."
Tom did just that and sang beautifully, bringing Dick to tears. "So I guess it was bad then?"
"No, it was perfect, you just remind my of my little brother that I left all alone. Sure he has our father and our other little brother and our other brother who is older than him but younger than me and his girlfriend that our father might adopt but he loves me the most." Dick turned to his friends and pointed to Tom. "He's B-20! That must mean that the rest of them might be here! And Alfie, too!"
"Bro, you're an ugly crier." Raquel said, a disgusted look on her face.
"But seriously!"
"It's true, every world has it's doppelgänger. Who knows, maybe Jay just died here?" Zatanna said, nodding in agreement.
"Lian... Jade..." Roy said, dropping to his knees. "She might be here. All alone. Tom, are there any organizations that make it a point to be cruel and terrorize people? Or any groups of assassins?"
"There is one and I think they killed my parents. I use any extra money of mine to do research on them. They are the Red Lotus. The group of assassins, however, is the League of, um... I forgot the name." Tom started to tap his chin.
Dick grasped Roy's shoulder as the redhead started to sweat nervously. Dick could practically hear his crazy big brother's thoughts.
Please don't say Shadows. Please don't say Shadows...
Tom snapped his fingers. "I got it! It's the League of Viper-Cats. It's a horrendous name, but it's what they chose." Tom shrugged and didn't notice the others take a deep breath. "There are a few others though. The Court of Owl-Hawks, Divided Interest of Vengeance and Extermination, aka D.I.V.E., and they've got The DIVE Five, but there are six of them."
"I feel like this could be one of the Spongegar memes, like, When you're in another universe and you find your enemies but with weirder names and then Spongegar is there like wtf is going on."
"Actually, it's primitive Spongebob and not Spongegar." Raquel pointed out. "I was just floating through my explore page on insta and then BAM! I see someone on a rant on how Spongegar isn't the one in the memes. It's actually primitive Spongebob."
"How much useless shit do you follow?" Roy asked, his face scrunched in confusion.
"A lot."
"Anyway, do you wanna come with us? We will tell you all our secrets!" Dick asked Tom. "Quick question, was someone supposed to adopt you before you ran away?"
Tom nodded. "Yeah, I'll come with you guys. And yes, someone was supposed to adopt me. BW was his initials. I think. He had two other kids. And he was in the same city, Caldera City, as Wolf-Batman and his Robin-Bluebirds. As well as the Otter-Penguin, Lion-Catwoman, and Itchy Ivy. Itchy Ivy is the stupidest name in my opinion. There is a low number of benders in that city."
Dick was laughing hard and Raquel was slapping her leg. "Itchy Ivy! That is fucking hilarious! And Wolf-Batman! Oh my god! And then I was Robin-Bluebird!"
"Don't tell me there is a Green Bow and a Red Bow!" Roy cried, almost laughing as well.
"There are! But they are in Starlight City! There is a local hero, here, in Fire Fountain City!" Tom said. "He's called the Lightning and he has a sidekick named Kid Lightning."
"Oh shnikes." Dick snapped. "Now we know our doppelgängers exist. Now we have to find them. On an unrelated note, can you take us to the nearest science lab thingy?"
"Sure! It's called S.T.A.R Labs-"
"Thank the heavens!" Zatanna cried before regaining her composure. "Continue."
"And it's sort of run by a guy named Barry. It's the weirdest name in the entire city. He's also got the lightest hair. A really light shade of brown, but not yellow like the girl that's in the circus."
"Awesome! When can we go?"
"Right now, if you'd like. Barry usually doesn't leave his office until about one."
The group when to the laboratory, chatting as they went. Tom was not surprised when the others revealed that they were from another world. When they got there, Tom burst in, jogging to greet Barry.
"Hey, Barry, the famous people want to meet you." Tom said, rendering Barry speechless.
"Hello, Barry, we know that you are the Lightning and we think it would be better if you called yourself the Flash..." Barry fainted while Tom when speechless himself.
OKAY I HAD LIKE NO IDEA HOW TO END THIS BUT THEN I DID AND I THINK I AM GONNA HAVE THE Dick's Adventures in Firelandia ARC HAVE HIM FORMING THE JUSTICE LEAGUE SO HE AND HIS FRIENDS CAN GET HOME.
