Chapter 17 Mean Seasons
Sean was in the workout room again doing his usual routines like he always did.
Dana on the other hand was in the kitchen in nothing but a robe with a content smile on her face.
"You seem happy." Diana said walking in making her grin.
"After last night a little hard not to be." Dana said making her smirk.
"I know the feeling." Diana said as they sat down.
"So how did you two meet anyway?" Dana asked.
"Shortly after he busted out of prison he went back and freed the others and well...Took me captive." Diana said making her grin.
"The good or the bad kind?" Dana asked making her giggle.
"The more took to talk kind. I understood his goals after our little talk. Batman wasn't so understanding at first and wanted to bring him down." Diana said.
"You mean Bruce Wayne?" Dana asked surprising her. "After Sean was killed I wanted to be a detective so I studied in that field for a while. Then I connected the dots about who Batman was. Didn't mean I was gonna sell him out." Dana said.
"I see. After learning who he was he agreed with his ideas as long as they were used on the very worse like Joker. Everyone else who had blood on their hands for selfish or greedy reasons would die when he attained all six stones. And right now he only has 3 meaning he's halfway there." Diana said.
"And when he does get all six and uses them? What will you do?" Dana asked making her grin.
"Enjoy a long life with him wherever we go. Me and all the others of course." Diana said making them both giggle.
Later
Sean was with Bruce going over the recent abduction of a woman by someone known as the Calendar girl.
"Why Kidnap her? She doesn't have much value." Sean said leaning on a wall.
"My thoughts exactly. The only thing I can think of is this is personal." Bruce said.
Thats when Fox walked in.
"Hey old man." Sean said.
"Sean, good to see you again." Fox said.
"Need something?" Bruce asked.
"Just reminding you about the Auto Show tonight." Fox said.
"Dana and I are going there since Blade is there." Sean said.
"Right." Bruce said Fox was about to leave.
"By the way, I'm supposed to remind you about Bernie Benson's retirement dinner. It's this Friday." Lucius said surprising him.
Bernie's retiring? Why?" Bruce asked.
"He's 65, Bruce. Thats our mandatory retirement policy." Lucius said.
"I thought he was younger." Bruce said making Sean snort.
"Well, sooner or later, we all start touching up the gray." Lucius said making Sean chuckle as he left while Bruce touched his hair.
"Not with this." Sean said holding the time stone up. "And the fact is theres another way to remain eternally young." Sean said.
"Such as?" Bruce asked.
"Vandel Savage. My dad was hunting him down to find the key to his immortality. He's been around for tens of thousands of years." Sean said.
"I see." Bruce said.
Later
"So he's worried about getting old?" Dana asked laughing as they were at the Auto show.
"Who does want to be old?" Sean asked.
"Mmm. True. Anyway she should be around here somewhere." Dana said as they walked around.
Thats when they spotted her on a car in a green bikini winking at everyone.
"Well...Someone sure has grown up." Sean said making her look before widening her eyes.
"Sean?" Blade asked before losing her footing and fell into his arms.
"And apparently still clumsy as ever." Sean said making her smile.
Soon Blade was in more casual clothes talking with them.
"I really missed you." Bobbi said hugging him.
"Likewise. So the modeling gig eh?" Sean asked making her grin.
"What can I say? I fit the bill." Bobbi said.
"So we see." Dana said.
"So you moving back to Gotham or is this a visit for me?" Bobbi asked.
"I go everywhere with these in hand." Sean said showing the infinity stones.
"You know I never understood why you were so into those until now." Bobbi said making him smirk.
Thats when the owner of this event showed up to show the new hot item of the year.
"We can't keep this under wraps anymore. It sizzles. It smokes. It's the hot new car for summer." Barkley said before the tarp came off showing a young woman on top of a car. "It's the solstice." Barkley said getting the crowd to cheer.
"It's just a simple car." Sean said making Dana shake her head.
"You'll never change." Dana said.
"I'm more of a motorcycle guy." Sean said.
"Things are heating up for you too, Barkley."
Everyone looked up seeing the Calendar girl above them all before throwing a American themed hat that shot out fireworks making everyone scatter.
"Go." Sean said making the two run off before snapping his fingers as his attire changed to his usual gear before the gauntlet appeared.
Her henchmen started shooting fireworks everywhere causing explosions.
"I hope your insured, Barkley." The Calendar girl said before seeing him trying to sneak off. "Barkley. Not staying for the celebration?" She asked before throwing some themed cloth at him making it wrap around him.
Thats when the girl on the solstice tried to run off but she caught her.
"No! Please! I'm too young to die."
"Honey, you're never too thin, and you're never too young." The Calendar girl said.
"That depends on your point of view." Sean said above them making her look.
"Well, well, well. The famous Kruger. I got not issues with you hon. So why don't you just stand aside and let me do what I cam here for." The Calendar girl said as she let the girl go while Barkley was being taken away.
"Tempting but no." Sean said using the reality stone to make several objects float before they flew at her henchmen making them yell as they ducked for cover.
"Shame. I hate to damage that pretty face." The Calendar girl said throwing something at him before it blew up in his face.
"OW!" Sean yelled being blinded before Batman jumped down next to him.
"You ok?" Batman asked.
"Stop them!" Sean yelled as he jumped down to stop them.
Sean groaned before using the reality stone to restore his vision before jumping down to help out but she pulled out a few explosions before they went ooff.
"Your choice hon. Either catch me or save the place from collapsing." Calendar girl said driving off with Barkley.
Sean groaned before using the time stone to reverse the damage as if nothing even happened here.
"Ok now I'm really confused. Why go after these people?" Sean asked.
"We're about to find out." Batman said picking up a calendar like the last abduction.
"That date. Why does it feel familiar." Sean said.
Later
Caretaker was in the batcave on the computer.
"Ok here's all the news items from both August 7th and April 3rd." Caretaker said pulling it up. "I'll date back 10 years." Caretaker said.
"Make it 20." Batman said.
"Whatever you say." Caretaker said pulling it up. "Ok I'm pulling up these people to see if theres something in common which I'm betting my profession on." Caretaker said.
Thats when the image of a woman appeared.
"Who is she? She looks familiar." Batman said.
"Damn right she should. Page Monroe. Girl's face was just about everywhere for a few years. She used to be the top spokesmodel for dozens of companies back in the day." Caretaker said.
"Like the two who were recently abducted?" Sean asked.
"Yup. Till both companies decided to drop her ass for a more youth favored campaign. Dumb sons of bitches if you ask me." Caretaker said.
"It's always about the younger generation eh? Hmph. I don't know if I should stop her from what she's got planned or let her since she's got every right to be pissed at these people." Sean said.
"Maybe so. But they are still innocent." Batman said.
"Depends on your point of view. It's idiots like them that ruin good women in the world." Caretaker said.
"He's got a point." Batgirl said.
"Theres only one company here still in Gotham that used her years ago." Caretaker said pulling it up.
Later
At one of the Gotham studios was a massive event for future productions and what not with women in what most would describe as future clothing and what not. (Oy)
Thats when the owner came out.
"ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for joining us here today for our network's Look into the Future. The GWB is staking out new frontiers this season With innovative shows like..."
"Garbage of the century?" Monroe said shocking him before seeing her and her thugs before she turned on a giant fan before they dumped a large amount of leafs on it making them blow all over the crowd.
Freddy the owner however tried to get away.
"Spring ahead, Freddy boy." Monroe said said throwing a pumpkin that exploded knocking him and his men back with the later out cold.
Freddy looked at her and panicked before picking up a gun...Which turned out to be a futuristic prop that only made a sound.
"Seriously? Believing your own publicity now?" Monroe asked.
"Idiots will always believe in their own garbage." Sean said above her with Batman and Batgirl.
"Back for more hon or did you miss me?" Monroe asked throwing an earring before it nearly exploded had Sean not used the time stone to stop it. "Aw now thats not fair." Monroe said playfully before she and her boys ran off.
"I can't tell. Is she flirting with me or just messing around?" Sean asked.
"Probably both." Batgirl said before they jumped down after her before arriving outside.
"Now if I were a former model who's turned criminal where would I hide?" Sean asked.
"Former model yes." Monroe said on a raising chair above them. "But criminal I don't think so." Monroe said.
"I know what this is about Page. Payback." Sean said.
"So true. After all don't you want Payback for everything Luthor did to you all those years ago. Murdering your entire family and forcing you to remain in prison as a five year old." Monroe said.
"Oh I do. But I want him to know true suffering. When I get all six stones I'll make that happen. But you are taking this a little far." Sean said.
"Maybe. But just as you get your justice your way. I get it my way. And I need you distracted for a while." Monroe said before pressing a button.
Thats when the ground began to shake.
"Oh isn't this just original." Sean said already knowing whats coming.
And like he predicted a giant Dino came out and roared at them.
"It's funny. Dinosaurs have been dead for millions of years and yet they still get placed in movies. Hardly seems fair. Good luck hon." Monroe said leaving.
"Great." Sean said as it tried to bite them but they dodged.
"Use the stone." Batman said.
"Like I need instruction on that." Sean said using the Time stone to move time forward on it before it began to crumble apart into nothing but rust.
"I thought you'd just use realty to make it vanish." Batgirl said.
"I use that one more than others so I decided against it." Sean said.
Later
Sean was in his penthouse looking over the City with a frown.
"You ok?" Diana asked making him look at her.
"Diana I know this may sound rude by how old are you?" Sean asked surprising her.
"Thousands of years. My people are immortal you know that. Whats bugging you?" Diana asked sitting him down.
"I hate these idiots who think that age means everything. They don't even realize the lives they ruin when they do what they do. Part of me wants to let Page do whatever she wants to do since I feel like she's in the right." Sean said.
"But you know it's wrong since they aren't actually criminals." Diana said.
"Yeah." Sean said making her smile as she kissed him.
"Sean. I'm older than any of the others even though I look to be a few years older than you. And yet you never cared about age." Diana said.
"Course I haven't. Age is meaningless to me." Sean said.
"Exactly my point. Thats what makes you better than them. You don't judge period. Not by age, Religion, Race nor sexuality. You accept people for who they are." Diana said making him smile.
"Yeah." Sean said before his phone rang before answering it. "Yeah?" Sean asked.
"Barbara managed to locate Page at an old club she still owns. I can't go right now because of a crucial meeting." Bruce said.
"I'm on it." Sean said suiting up.
"Want me to go with you?" Diana asked.
"Nah. You just relax. I got this." Sean said vanishing.
Later
The three people Page had kidnapped were in the club she owned all tied up with her three henchmen over them.
Thats when a screen lit up showing old photos of Page.
"Yes, I was gorgeous once. I had everything. I used to be a face. I used to be THE face. Until you destroyed me. Destroyed my career. I tried to get it back. For ten years I starved, sweated. Subjected my body to surgery after surgery, and for what? Days became weeks, weeks became years until my time ran out." Page said as the images stopped before she was behind the screen before cutting it with a scythe making them gasp.
"Page please. We can make this right." Barkly said.
"Now I only have one holiday left to celebrate. The day of the dead. And you're going to celebrate it with me." Page said about to cut them.
"Or theres another option." Sean said above them making her look.
"My, my. You really are persistent. I like that." Page said before her henchmen were knocked out bu Sean using the reality stone as he jumped down. "I don't suppose you'd be willing to stand aside and let me get my Justice now would you?" Page asked.
"Tempting since I think they deserve it for tossing you aside like garbage." Sean said.
"It wasn't like that. We just felt that a more..." Donna tried to say.
"Younger group would work compared to her? It's idiots like you that ruin lives without even realizing it. Have you given no thought to the people you hurt by just throwing them out? Or what they may do to themselves by simply saying they need someone younger?" Sean asked making them look at each other.
"They won't answer that because they know the answer is something neither of us like hon." Page said.
"Let me see." Sean said confusing her.
"I beg your pardon?" Page asked.
"Your face. Let me see what you really look like. You already see mine with scars and I have no problem with that. So why don't you show me yours." Sean said making her frown behind her mask before with shaky hands removed her mask showing her face. "I don't see a damn thing wrong. You fucking idiots threw this away when she still looks beautiful? Honestly I'm surprised you haven't gone bankrupt yet with stupidity like yours." Sean said.
"It's called business asshole." Freddy said before Page aimed her scythe at him making him gasp.
"Care to repeat that?" Page asked annoyed making him shake his head.
"Page you're beautiful as you are now. I don't see any flaws. Both as you are now or without that surgery. I accept everyone for who they are no matter what." Sean said making her smile lightly.
"I appreciate that hon. But I can't just turn back now." Page said making them tense.
"Oh yes you can. I can easily have the charges dropped against you since I have so much pull. Provided you stop all this." Sean said making her look at him.
"And where would I go?" Page asked.
"With me of course. To live a life of luxury and no longer have to worry about appearances. Does that not sound fair." Sean said making her look at him before smiling as she kissed him.
"Ok hon you got a deal." Page said.
Soon enough the cops came and retrieved her henchmen and the hostages.
"HEY!" Bullock yelled rushing at Sean and Page.
"How the hell are you still with the cops after that stunt you pulled?" Sean asked annoyed.
"Eiling's lawyers thats how. She's coming with me." Bullock said moving to grab her but Sean snapped his wrest making him scream in pain.
"I don't fucking think so Fatass. She's with me now so make no mistake." Sean said getting in his face with a glare making him tremble. "Come after her again and I'll kill you." Sean said before he and Page left.
Later
"Impressive." Page said seeing the penthouse he currently lived in.
"This is only temporary since my old estate is being rebuilt to modern standards. Once its finished we'll all be moving back in." Sean said.
"With some special privileges of course." Diana said above them making her smile.
"I need to check on something real quick." Sean said vanishing.
Appearing in the Batcave he saw Bruce on the computer.
"What are you up to now?" Sean asked.
"Looking to find a way to locate any of the other stones if they are on Earth." Bruce said.
"You won't find any others. There were only 3. Reality, Time and Soul. Those were the only ones on Earth." Sean said.
"Any idea where the other three are?" Bruce asked.
"You'd have an easier time looking for the Space and Power stones. The Mind stone on the other hand is unknown." Sean said.
"Meaning?" Bruce asked.
"Story goes Thanos did something with the Mind stone and it hasn't been seen since he used all six." Sean said.
Later
After talking with Bruce Sean arrived back home before heading to bed.
"We've been waiting." Dana sang making him look seeing her, Diana, Bobbi and Page in bed in the nude making him smile.
"Now theres a sight I always enjoy." Sean said making them giggle.
