Chapter3: The Convergence & Rivalry

We find Gohan walking through the Radley High school gate, wearing a black vest underneath a light blue unbuttoned shirt over black jeans. Noticeably much more of effort he normally makes and it was gathering confused looks from the other students, not that Gohan noticed at all as he was listening to music in his headphones. But the thing that Gohan wore that confused these already shocked students the most was his grin, something no one could ever recall seeing him have before. It definitely unsettled a few.

Gohan was walking up to the entrance to the building his first class was in without a care in the world, until he saw who was waiting for him leaning up against the stone wall next to the door. Kara, or as she was otherwise apparently known, 'Supergirl.'

Gohan kept his headphones in and walked past her attempts to get his attention, 'God this is annoying, leave me be please, I got stuff to do.'

"Hey… Hello… Gohan!" Supergirl exclaimed to no prevail, insanely pissing her off this early in the morning. Knowing this guy was sure bad for her heart. She reached out and grabbed his shoulder, not without noting how solid it was, and spun him round to face her. Caught off-guard by his smile and the amount of people staring at this odd interaction she began heavily blushing and released him.

'Ugh, causing a scene first thing in the morning. Thought these heroes knew how to keep a low profile.' Gohan thought to himself, amused.

With everyone's eyes still trained on the pair of high schoolers who were never seen together, and speculations and theories going through other pupil's minds, Gohan thought it'd be best to move on.

"What's up Kara? This about the algebra homework? Got it right here." Was enough for all the onlookers to move along with their days and thus Kara's blush alleviated. "Do you wanna make even more of a commotion this early in the morning?" Gohan asked sarcastically as he began walking towards his locker.

"Look smartass, we need to talk. About you and me." Kara mentally slapped her own cheeks before correcting herself, "About you and the league. Your level of power being unchecked is begging for chaos, the league wants an official meeting with you. Flash spoke very highly of you and it's peaked the interest of some of the other main leaguers. Tonight, 8pm. This isn't a request. We'll send someone to come get you." She felt powerful with those last words, like she had won something, particularly because he didn't really respond.

Just as she was about to walk away Gohan spoke in a threatening voice that caught her totally off guard, "Going to call my home again? Invade my privacy, again? I don't know who the league think they are but intimidating an orphan child prodigy who saved hundreds of students' lives yesterday probably wouldn't fly too well with the Daily Planet, the New Yorker or the Gotham Gazette. Also, I don't mind if my secrets exposed but what of your secret? What of Batman's? Flash's? it wouldn't take long at all to work out who's beneath those masks, in fact I could learn them by tonight. So know this Kara," Gohan looked deep into her eyes with a smug and angry expression, "if you or the league ever so much as attempt to threaten me again I have more than one metaphorical bullet in the chamber. I'll teleport up tonight, save you the trouble of 'sending someone.' Understood? And one more thing don't you know this saying don't judge a book by its cover what made you think I am dangerous I am leaving here for seven years and the league is not ambassador of this world" Gohan opened his locker retrieved his History books and walked away, leaving a stunned Supergirl standing in the empty hallway. She most certainly did not feel powerful now .

'Phew, good thing that nobody was in the hall way otherwise there could've been awkward explaining to do.' Gohan chuckled to himself and continued walking.

The rest of the day went rather smoothly, Gohan spoke to people more than usual and with a warm personality eventually overcame most of the perceptions that people had of him. Another thing that the average onlooker could clearly notice was the metaphorical death glare that Kara had been giving Gohan in every one of his classes they had been in together today. By the time the final bell of the day rung, Gohan had got to a state where people were saying goodbye to him and, in particular girls, were being extremely friendly towards him.

As Gohan was packing away the books he needed for homework from his locker into his bag he was approached by the angry young Kryptonian, with arms crossed and a stern expression she waited for him to respond to her presence, sighing multiple times until he acknowledged her.

"Oh hey Kara what's up? Fancy staring at me some more before I go home, not much time left." Gohan said and laughed to himself, people walking past clearly doing something of the same sort.

"Shut up Gohan you know why I was staring," She said quietly whilst blushing, "you aren't exactly a stable individual and as it stands you're an unknown quantity. So naturally as the only active league member within a close proximity it's up to me to monitor you. Hmph." She said as she puffed out her chest triumphantly, Gohan found this adorable and annoying at the very same time.

Now the league labled me as a criminal I recommend you go and catch criminals that are killing people rather than spying on me and if I am unstable you wouldn't be talking to me now said Gohan in a cold tone which sent shivers to kara and you are not monitoring me.

No I am coming Supergirl declared bravely.

"what?"

"I'll go to your place. To monitor."

It was at this moment Gohan felt a very dark aura emanate from Kara, he could feel how pissed she was and honestly it reminded him of when his mother used to get angry at his father towards the end of his life though his father learned an invaluable method of dealing with her rage, instant transmission. A method Gohan wouldn't mind copying in this situation.

Kara grabbed his shoulder and turned him towards her, "okay invite me now then, I insist." Gohan probably would've declined if he wasn't genuinely scared of what an angry cousin of Superman might be able to do to him.

Gohan sighed deeply and broke free of her grip, "Fine, let's go then." Gohan moaned.

After a twenty-minute walk in near silence they arrived at the Wayne Foundation Boys Home, 292 Angus Street and following a quick chat with Miss Baverstock, who wasn't exactly thrilled about Kara being there for some reason, they were off to Gohan's room. The first thing that the Kryptonian teen noticed was the OCD level of tidiness that Gohan's room was in, it was almost like he was in some form of the military.

"I'll be out in a minute I just need to change, sit wherever you want." Gohan said snappily.

Kara obliged and sat on the edge of his bed as he walked to his closet and grabbed a neatly folded t-shirt and walked to his bathroom.

He didn't properly close either of the doors he had just opened, leaving Supergirl with a chance to snoop, a chance she wouldn't turn down. She floated over to his closet so her footsteps wouldn't be heard and began quietly going through the objects that were at the bottom of his closet. All she could find was trophies, countless trophies and medals. Some more covered in dust than the others and a few photo's of a younger Gohan accepting awards for science, math, literature just to name a few. The thing that caught her eye the most was a) he was adorable as a kid but b) he didn't smile in any of the pictures. Like he hasn't been happy in a long time, if that's all the information she had to go on.

"Can't I leave you alone for one minute without you breaching some kind of my privacy?" Kara heard and spun round to see a shirtless Gohan in some new jogger bottoms behind her, sighing. Busted.

"Umm no no you left the closet open and I accidentally looked in, wait why are you shirtless?" Kara, noticing Gohan's impressive form began to blush a bit and looked away.

"I heard you going through my stuff." Gohan answered as he put on his fresh new t-shirt, "look I've got some chores to do before I go to the league tonight, so either control your urges to step over boundaries or just go home." Gohan said bluntly, he wasn't in a great mood anymore.

"Fine I won't pry then, I was just trying to learn a bit about you, sorry I guess. What kind of chores are they? Maybe I could help." Kara was trying to make up for her rudeness in her own way.

"No problem. I guess calling them chores is a little harsh, I tutor some of the kids here. Give back and all that, only the ones that want and need it. It was awkward at the beginning when I was tutoring people older than me." Gohan chuckled as he reminisced. "Anyway it begins in 5 minutes so I need to go down to the canteen, if you want to help then that's where I'll be." Gohan sounded much cheerier, which made Kara realise that is was most likely her that was the issue earlier not him.

"Sounds fun, sure why not?" Kara replied in earnest with a bright smile and with that they began to walk out of Gohan's room and down towards the canteen.

It was a big but basic canteen, it could easily fit a few hundred boys in it but at the moment there were only thirty, Gohan's class.

Gohan cleared his throat, "So, how was everyone's day at school?" The class happily replied with a variety of answers, "Good, now on to homework, has everyone completed theirs from yesterday?" Once again everyone replied with happy nods or verbal answers, "Great then get started with today's school homework and I will come round to each one of you individually and help as always, any questions?" One brown haired boy with a Superman t-shirt on who must've been around twelve put his hand up quietly whilst everyone got out their work and books.

"Yes Jason?" Gohan said.

"Gohan since when have you had a girlfriend?" Was all he said before everyone erupted in laughter and Gohan joined in as well whilst Kara just remained quiet and embarrassed.

"Shut up Jason" Gohan chuckled, "this is a classmate who offered to help teach you guys with me, her name is Kara." With that Kara waved and everyone waved back then got on with their work.

After an hour and a half everyone was finishing up and Kara decided to slyly snoop a little more, so she went over to 'help' Jason and learn a bit more about Gohan and these kids.

"Hey Jason how's your work going? Are you having any problems you need help with?" Kara kindly asked.

"No thanks Kara I'm basically done. Math is so easy now Gohan explained it to me, I used to suck at it." Jason innocently replied and chuckled, Kara didn't know what it was but something felt like Gohan couldn't be this perfect or at least she didn't want to admit that he was.

"So how long have you known Gohan, Jason?" Kara asked sweetly, any bystander would've thought she was angelic.

"Since I came here about 2 years ago, he's helped me with so much and always says I can speak to him about anything. He's kind of like a big brother to me, he's really nice." Jason smiled brightly as he finished that sentence and Kara felt as if there wasn't a chance he wasn't telling the truth.

"That's good, I hope he looks after you. I think he's smart but I don't know about nice" Kara teased Jason and he instantly replied,

"Nuh-uh Gohan is the nicest person I know, nicer than you." Jason poked his tongue out in defiance and Kara got a little annoyed but wouldn't bite back at a kid, she was a hero after all.

"Yeah I think he's nicer than you too, you're a mean lady." Gohan said as he walked over, chuckling to himself and giving Jason a high-five. "That's us done now, go get ready for dinner Jason."

"Alright, are you bringing the mean lady Gohan?" Jason quickly asked.

"We've got some business I think I'll miss dinner tonight, I'll see you tomorrow for class though." Gohan replied smiling.

Jason frowned a bit before replying "okay, just don't let her be mean to you."

Gohan laughed a lot at this and Kara went bright red before Gohan simply said, "if she's mean I think I can take her." He gave a friendly wink to Jason and with that class was finished and Gohan headed back up to his room to let him change before he left.

"So, they actually like you?" Kara said in playful shock.

Gohan glared, "why wouldn't they? I'm a nice guy you know. Jason's a good kid, had a rough past and bounced around the system until he came here. He asked to be my buddy because I was bigger than the other guys and he wanted to be protected I guess."

"That's horrible, he must've had a rough childhood but you seem to be making it better as much as I hate to admit it." Kara replied, waiting for Gohan to bite at the dig.

"Hmm, his grades have certainly improved and he's not scared of others as much, all he really needs now is a friend. Someone he likes to be around and have fun with. His childhood isn't over yet." Gohan looked serious with the last sentence, he meant it. "Anyway, back to business. Let me get dressed into something a bit more suitable to meet the league, one sec okay?" Gohan closed the door to his room behind them and got some more clothes from his closet before once again going to his bathroom.

"Why do you even care what you're wearing, I thought you hated the league?" Kara said, a pissed off twinge in the last part.

"I know I said the league disgust me and all, but that's the organisation. I still hold some of it's members, like your cousin, a good regard for what they've done for this world and it's people." Gohan said calmly.

"So it's just that we don't kill our criminals is what you're most upset about?" Supergirl asked.

"Yeah kind of, that's just blatantly irresponsible. And for a group that shoved the word justice in its title, I don't think the families of those killed by your enemies would say that equates tojustice." Gohan was once again calm and passionate to nail home his point. "Do you think if Luthor killed someone Superman loved, he would kill Luthor?"

That thought shocked Supergirl a bit, the thought of Lois or herself being killed and Clark, filled with rage taking a life.

"No, never. He's better than that, we're better than that. It's what we stand for as a league, as members that define us." Supergirl said confidently, at this point Gohan walked out of his bathroom in black suit trousers and a white dress shirt that fitted him well and was a smart casual look for the young Saiyan.

"It's because of the small people that I've taken lives before on my world, because my father was a merciful man and liked to leave those enemies with potential for good in them alive that he died. He was a simple man, he believed in training hard and keeping his loved ones safe. However, because of his idiot son and his own naiveté he is no longer with us and thus I am here. I don't want to kill people Kara believe me, I just think some people can be past the point of redemption." He said his words with fire but also quite sincerely.

"But Gohan-," Supergirl said before she was cut off.

"Enough of that, it's time to meet the Justice League." Gohan exclaimed as he gazed out the window in a focussed manner.

"Watchtower this is Supergirl requesting teleport for me and one guest." Supergirl said as she pressed something that was in her ear and within seconds Gohan felt light, weightless in fact. It was only for half a moment but it was like he wasn't anywhere at all. And then with a great flash of light a room the size of a football field opened up before his very eyes. Even he was taken aback by the process and he teleports regularly. He found himself a mere fish in the ocean in this hall, there were too many people to count. Not all heroes but all there to do their jobs and work toward the common goal. Gohan hadn't seen an enterprise on this scale before.

"Come on Gohan they'll be waiting for us." Supergirl said and he didn't know when she did it but she had changed into her famous blue and red suit without him noticing, he was impressed.

"Take me to your leader," Gohan said in an alien voice trying to break the ice but clearly Supergirl was tense and just shook her head and lead the way. They walked past countless famous heroes, such as Green Arrow, Captain Atom, Black Canary, Fire and Ice, the list goes on and on. Gohan felt his nerves kick in, he was meeting them. The league. The most powerful beings this reality has to offer and he was going to have confrontational talks with them. His heart began to flutter and he looked flushed,

"You okay?" Supergirl asked bluntly.

"Yeah I think so," Gohan replied holding his head. "Could I trouble you for some water and eat before we go in? I think your way of teleporting may be different to what I do." Gohan let out a weak chuckle with his request. Supergirl didn't look thrilled but she knew that the byelaws state he is a guest and guests are allowed food and water at request yadayada.

"Sure just up ahead is a water fountain, let's take a seat for a few." She said with a kind smile, one Gohan rarely saw and it was even rarer for him to be the recipient of.

When they sat down and Gohan was handed his drink and something to eat he politely bowed a bit and drunk, "you wouldn't think I would be this nervous to meet the good guys right?" He weakly laughed a bit again.

Supergirl saw this as her chance to talk some sense into Gohan, "If you're this nervous don't you think that could be a sign that you shouldn't do it? I mean when you were a kid you got nervous because you were about to be scolded or because you had done something worthy of punishing, don't you think it could be the same kind of reaction?" Kara's voice was soothing but her words stung, insulting Gohan a bit.

"So I'm a child that needs to be told off by the grown ups, am I? You know I've been smarter than everyone my age my whole life, nice to see that hasn't changed Kara." Gohan stood up and looked pissed off, "Let's go time to meet thegrown ups."Kara held out a hand to stop him but he was already walking off towards the meeting room, she had messed up and she knew it.

She called out to him but he just ignored her until he reached it, the door. Behind this door stood might the likes he may have never faced, might that may oppose his views to the point of confrontation. But if might makes right, Gohan has plenty might of his own.

Gohan knocked and the door slid to the right automatically, before his eyes in a dim room was a table. At that table sat some of the symbols of absolute power and freedom; Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and the Flash. Gohan didn't let the awe hit him until he sat down and from behind him walked Supergirl who took a seat between her cousin and the Flash.

"Hey kid, you're looking less golden these days" Joked the Flash with a big beady smile.

"Flash this is a serious matter, enough fooling around," Wonder Woman said using a motherly tone, clearly she deserved respect as the Flash instantly shrunk into his seat.

"Gohan, welcome to the Watchtower. These are my friends, all key members of the Justice League. Before we begin is there anything you'd like to say your peace about? We won't bite," Superman said authoritatively but in a calming manner. But he did it again, just like Kara he treats him like a kid. 'We won't bite' is what really pissed Gohan off. Kara noticed his forehead crease when Superman said the last few words, to say she was worried was an understatement.

"Just one thing Superman, I don't appreciate being spoken to like a child. I'm not gonna make a fuss about it but if you could treat me as if I were about twenty years older, I'd greatly appreciate it and don't act in goody shoes after invading my privacy and sent spies after me he gave a glare to kara." Gohan said politely but bluntly at the same time. The league were a bit shocked that the kid who dressed so smartly to meet them had such a temper.

Superman looked a bit annoyed but carried on, "Well alright then Gohan, I think that's perfectly understandable. Now I think I speak for the entirety of the League when I offer our thanks to you for your efforts in the Metallo and Radley High School ordeals, it was brave and Flash speaks highly of your courage." The Flash winked at Gohan which broke his concentration a bit. "But that's not why we asked you here today, we need to know some things before we feel comfortable letting you go."

"So you are considering me a criminal having for powers and saving childrens live's" asked Gohan irritated.

We doesn't mean it Gohan said a voice it is..

Wonder Woman took over, "For instance, your position on the league and why you feel that way. Supergirl informed us that you spoke negatively of the League, do you have reasoning?" Gohan had to admit, she commanded a room and seemed much deadlier than Superman.

"Personally I think you're far not capable for this role." A few raised eyebrows around the room met this statement, "Where I came from was peaceful, far more peaceful than this world and we didn't have a league of Superheroes to defend it from threats that armies can't handle. There were barely eight of us, and we held it on our own. The reason was simple, we put down evil."

"Now hold on kid, each world has its own problems and its own solutions and crime at all levels has fallen since the Justice League was created. You can't compare our problems with yours we're just doing the best we can with what we have," said the Green Lantern, clearly not happy with Gohan's view of the League. Supergirl and the Flash both nodded in agreement with Green Lantern's opinion.

"I get that and while I admit what you have built here is an amazing thing, you're doing things your way. If you want recurring villains that's all well and good but recurring villains means recurring deaths. And that's the case in every world. What would you like to ask next?" Gohan once again remained polite but there was a coldness to his words.

"Are you a friend or foe? What is your motive" From the darkest part of the room came the previously unheard voice of Batman.

Why do you care bruce wayne Gohan met batman as bruce in his orphanage so he recognised him all were surprised at that. "I doubt I'll be flying your flag anytime soon but I wouldn't consider you enemies of mine. We just have conflicting ideologies." Gohan said sounding a bit cocky.

How did you know my name asked batman.

Like how you invaded my privacy asked Gohan.

"So what exactly is it you want?" Asked Superman.

And what is your motive asked Gohan.

Knowing about you said batman.

I am not asking about this meeting about this fancy satellite and this team said Gohan.

We are determined about protecting this world from threats said superman with pride.

How will you do it asked Gohan.

By bringing criminals to justice said superman.

What do mean by bringing them to justice asked Gohan.

By handing overthem to the authorities said superman.

Doesn't bringing justice mean doing justice for the victims rather than putting evildoers in jail asked Gohan.

What do you mean by that asked superman.

I've seen what a second chance given to the wrong person can do, is that something I'm willing to give to half the scum your organisation does the jail dance with? Probably not." Gohan crossed his arms and waited for the onslaught.

"You want us to let you kill? You've got balls asking that here kid," shouted Green Lantern.

Who are you to give me permission to kill, Justice means holding people accountable for their actions in a way that ensures they can't hurt anyone again. If you're too afraid to confront that reality, then you're not truly protecting the world—you're merely postponing the next crisis. If you think a second chance is worth more than the safety of innocents, then you're blind to the consequences of your actions." How many people does joker killed and you let him leave and he escapes and kills again is this justice in your view.

"Anyone can become good with a second chance Gohan, who are we to decide who lives and dies?" Wonder Woman asked with authority.

Really did anyone of them changed or did any one of them stopped killing they come and kills more people to get revenge on you as they know you are weak minded, did you gave second chance to those aliens when they invaded the earth you killed all them didn't you remember that killing is not good or you did it for fame, probably you should let them live and and give a chance to change again, they will come back and destroy earth said Gohan mockingly, which infuriated wonder woman.

"I get where you are coming from," everyone turned around to Batman after he said that and Gohan looked a little disbelieved. "You can't even imagine the amount of times I've wanted to end some of the murderers that I lock up, hell I think we'd all be lying if we said the thought hasn't crossed our minds. But if you give into that feeling, that hatred then you really are no better than the scum we lock up."

I tell it as you have mental problems and you are pretty weak that's the truth even though you consider yourself strong, you kill virus or flu that enter human bodies and you wont kill virus and flu that is killing people, hypocrites and I wont kill out of hatred but to do what is necessary and you don't have guts to do that said Gohan.

The league all looked at each, all trying to find the right words to answer Gohan.

We are heroes we don't kill It's the choices we make that define us. It's the examples we set for future generations that really matters." Said the Flash in a more solemn tone.

What example will you leave if there are no people asked Gohan.

How many people died when brainiac attacked asked Gohan.

So many said superman.

Then what did you do to him asked Gohan.

We sent him to oa said lantern.

But again he attacked didn't he asked Gohan and again how many people died and how will you protect people from the Incoming threats when the old ones are still looming what assurance will you give to people what if all of them attack the whole earth at once asked Gohan.

They remained silent.

That's the reason you disgust me said Gohan.

"That's the trade off Gohan, with power comes duty." Said Supergirl.

"but you are not fulfilling the duty?" said Gohan.

"That's why we formed the league, so we'd never have to face that alone." Superman said reassuringly.

How many more people died since league formed and what will you say to families of the dead ones and did crime rate increased or decreased and most importantly how many people died while you are fighting and most important how many new criminals raised asked Gohan.

Before they could speak martian man hunter appeared.

"Code Green, I repeat Code Green. The Joker has released a chemical bomb in New York. Immediate response required." Was the message that rang through the tannoy.

Gohan had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"Where- Where in New York, Manhunter?!" Gohan half shouted.

"6 blocks confirmed, between Penny Avenue and Angus Street." The Martian replied.

Gohan's eyes widened and both Batman and Supergirl realised instantly what was going through his mind.

"No Gohan, calm down you can't go in when you have impaired judgement." Batman said trying to calm the angered Saiyan.

You are the one having an impaired judgement if anything disastrous happened you will pay said Gohan fuming in anger his hair turning blonde

"Gohan please don't" Kara said, she could feel the power emanating from her classmate and it was scaring her, but not just her.

"Supes, grab him. Manhunter teleport me and Lantern down, I'll fan out the gas and Green Lantern can extract it into space." Flash ordered and in an instant both the Manhunter and Superman had complied. Superman's vice grip around Gohan's body was the only thing keeping him from exploding with power.

While Flash and Green Lantern got to work, it was up to Supergirl and Wonder Woman to calm down the Saiyan teen.

"Gohan look me in the eyes, everything is going to be alright. Jason and the others are going to be fine." Kara cupped his face with her dainty hands and tried to calm him. The more time went on the more his eyes turned pure white and he began to extrude greater amounts of golden ki.

"Superman detain him before he loses it." Wonder Woman commanded.

"I am trying Diana, he has some strength to him and I'm trying not to hurt him here," Superman replied whilst exasperating.

"Fine I shall do it myself," She unsheathed her mighty lasso and flung it round the top of Gohan's body, less ki was being exerted from his body now and Superman was struggling less and less.

"Good work Diana," Superman said.

"Kar-" Gohan began to say before he was cut off.

"The gas is clear here Manhunter-" Gohan heard Flash say over the tannoy and with all the strength he could muster he raised his index and middle fingers to the bridge of his nose and in the blink of an eye he was gone. Superman with him as he was holding onto him.

"But the gas was flammable and we couldn't reach everywhere in time, some places got burnt bad." Is what they would've heard had Gohan waited but instead he stood outside the scorching remains of his home, the Waynes Foundation Boys Home. The New York Fire Department were on their way, Gohan could hear them but it was too late. He could tell there were no survivors. Gohan fell to his knees, tears flooding down his face. He just lay in the twilight between the frozen night and the roaring flames of his boyhood home, he couldn't hear anyone speaking to him, he couldn't feel Supergirl hugging him, but he could see Jason's smile in his thoughts before it melted away like a photograph over an open fireplace. Was this what he deserved? Was this what innocent Jason deserved, or any of the boys? Everything was white noise but he could see Batman was visibly distressed.

Gohan shrugged off the young Kryptonian and stood up with a look of rage in his eye, walking straight to Batman.

"How many?" Gohan asked Batman with low voice, when Batman turned to him he received a clean right hook to the face and was sent flying several metres.

"GOHAN!" Supergirl and Superman exclaimed but neither could get there in time to stop him.

"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU LET THE JOKER LIVE? ANSWER ME!" Gohan screamed at Batman, dragging him up in a chokehold. Gohan launched him into a wall, not before punching him in the gut.

"Too many, I- I'm sorry Gohan," Batman answered as he spat out blood.

You don't deserve to say that word did you enjoyed your cat and mouse game with him asked Gohan punching him his suit cracked and his bones were broken, Superman was now in the middle of the two of them, "enough Gohan, Batman's hurting almost as much as you are right now. I can't explain why but he is more emotionally invested in this than you'll ever know." Superman said with a bowed head.

Supergirl had now gotten in front of Gohan and was begging, "I know it hurts Gohan, but you can't give in to the pain. Jason wouldn't want that."

"Jason doesn't want anything. He's dead" he yelled snapping back at Kara.

He instant transmissioned batman and began to beat him batman couldn't stop him as he is more fast Gohan broke all his bones except his skull and spine then he teleported to the location of treason.

You are right you and joker are no different you are his accomplice said gohan

"Because of you, because of all of you. Screw you all, I'm gonna kill that clown and put his head on a pike." Gohan turned around and readied himself to instant transmission away from this blood bath.

"Gohan, know if you're saying you're about to commit murder then you will become an enemy of the League and we will stop you." Superman said calmly whilst Batman laid on ground, covered in snow and blood around his face.

Then with in a blur Gohan hold superman against a wall in choke hold, Like you are better than me, you and the criminals you capture are the same they kill directly and you kill indirectly see the speck in your eye rather than removing the log in my eye said Gohan.

Gohan's gaze was unyielding, his voice icy and unwavering. "Listen carefully, Superman. I'm not here to commit murder. I'm here to confront a fundamental flaw in your so-called justice system. You call yourselves protectors, but you're blinded by your own rigid codes, leaving room for more suffering and death.

If you want to brand me an enemy for demanding a justice that actually safeguards lives, then so be it. I'm not here to commit murder; I'm here to challenge a flawed system that perpetuates danger by coddling the very threats it's supposed to neutralize. If my stance means opposing the League, then that's a price I'm willing to pay. Your hesitation and adherence to outdated ideals will only pave the way for more suffering. The real danger isn't me; it's the cowardice and complacency that allow evil to flourish unchecked."

It stinged them all.

"Gohan please don't do this, please" Supergirl begged with tears in her eyes.

"I knew the stakes when I came to see the League, well the Joker just doubled down. So, either you stop me or I rip his grin off his face, permanently." Gohan challenged darkly, then with a simple flex of his muscle he teleported away into the night.

'There is only one place I can go now. Maybe she can put me up until I find somewhere else, I need her now.' Gohan thought, wiping the tears from his face. He looked up to see the Radley High School sign, this was where he needed to be. To begin his mission. To kill the Joker.
