Chapter 26: Pillow Fight!
After trashing both Robin and Wonder Girl to remind them who is the strongest here, Lucas walked back to the lounge satisfied.
However, he was a bit bothered by Wonder Girl. She didn’t seem like she was getting punished...it was like she enjoyed being beaten…
Actually, it wasn’t as if Donna really liked being beaten. As an Amazon, strength is more respected than beauty. Of course, if there is one like Lucas who is both handsome and strong, then even better!
Donna was a bit annoyed that her aunt Diana snatched him first but from what she heard, it seems she didn’t mind that he had other women.
One more shouldn’t be a problem...right?
It was a good thing that Lucas wasn’t always reading people’s minds. Otherwise, if he knew what she was thinking, he would start sweating bullets.
Please give me a break...one Amazon is already hard to deal with, why add another!?
Naturally, even if he did know and things had led to that point, we all know how it will end up. Lucas is just that kind of bastar- ahem- hero.
After leaving the training room, he saw Raven and Kid Flash lazing about in the lounge while playing in the X-Box.
Lucas took a look around with his X-ray vision and saw Aqua Lad and Miss Martian looking around the headquarters. Speedy was in the armory and already organizing his weapons in a corner.
As for Supergirl...she’s taking a shower at the moment.
En, super indeed…
Lucas lingered his gaze on her for a moment before looking back at Raven and Kid Flash. The two were playing a fighting game. It seems Kid Flash is winning.
“Oh man! This is really way more fun than being a sidekick! Barry won’t even let me play games in the house! Here, I can even use the Speed Force to win!”
“That’s cheating!”
“What’s cheating? We both had superpowers. This is part of one’s ability!”
“Oh yeah? In that case…”
Raven was irritated with Kid Flash using his speed to land combos on her so she used her powers as well. Her shadow expanded and enveloped Kid Flash!
“Hey! I can’t see! This is cheating!”
“What’s cheating? We both had superpowers. This is part of one’s ability!”
Kid Flash was dumbfounded.
His words were turned against him in just a few seconds…
As such, what started as the two lazing around while playing turned into a free-for-all power battle while gaming.
Lucas watched as Kid Flash ran around creating lightning everywhere and Raven attempted to catch him with her shadow.
“Azarath Metrion Zinthos!”
Lucas had taught her these words before and for some reason, she had been able to better control her powers just by shouting it, it was weird.
Suddenly, the pillows on the couch were engulfed in black energy and started to float. The next moment, these pillows shot at Kid Flash at great speed!
Caught unawares that she could do that, Kid Flash was smacked right in the face with a pillow.
“You-...!”
Pissed with being hit in the face, Kid Flash grabbed the pillow and threw it back to Raven.
Raven saw this coming and floated to the side.
Just in time, from the hallway behind Raven, Speedy just came out from the armory.
Not knowing what was happening, a pillow struck his face immediately.
Kid Flash froze when he saw the icy look Speedy was giving him.
“Oh crap.”
Naturally, he was hit with the pillow again. He wasn’t even able to dodge because he froze up for a moment.
No matter how fast he is, he is still too inexperienced to be able to dodge everything.
Angered with being hit again, Kid Flash threw the pillow back at Speedy who kicked it away and was about to hit Raven. In her panic, she used her powers again to diver the pillow.
This time, Supergirl just finished her shower and had a towel on her head when she walked back to the lounge and was hit in the face.
Raven froze when she saw Supergirl grab the pillow while glaring at her. She recalled that this bitch has super strength…
“You dare hit me!? Eat this!”
“What’s the commotion abo-!?”
Supergirl threw a super pillow throw right back on Raven...only, her aim was way off and it hit both Aqua Lad and Miss Martian who just arrived as well upon hearing the commotion.
Right, the throw was so strong that after hitting Aqua Lad, it bounced off and hit Miss Martian as well.
Kid Flash exclaimed at that.
“Double Kill!”
“I...err…”
Supergirl panicked. It was fine for her to throw at Raven since she started it and they were also quite close. At worst, they will just ignore each other for a while then it will be back to normal.
But she still doesn’t know anyone else apart from Raven and Lucas. As an alien, she is rather cautious when dealing with other people. Especially when these new people are going to be her teammate.
Aqua Lad didn’t react but Miss Martian smiled happily while holding the pillow.
“Is this what they call Pillow Fight? I hear good friends always play this! Since you consider me as a good friend, I must return the favor!”
Her eyes glowed and the pillow floated in front of her.
Then, it shot towards Supergirl instantly!
After being hit in the face, the cautious attitude was gone. All that’s left was irritation. She no longer held back.
Soon, the situation went out of control with all of them throwing pillows at one another using their powers and abilities.
Aqua Lad walked beside Lucas and asked.
“Aren’t you going to stop them?”
Lucas looked at Aqua Lad. Before he could say anything, a pillow was being thrown in his direction. It was Kid Flash who had missed his target and thrown it.
Naturally, Lucas didn’t let himself be hit.
He caught the pillow with ease then...smacked it on Aqua Lad’s face.
“???”
“What are you doing? This is the first team training! Go join them!”
Lucas said no more and handed him the pillow before throwing him towards Kid Flash.
“Ah!? Why are you throwing Aqua Lad!?”
“Idiot, can’t you see? I was throwing the pillow! It just so happened that Aqua Lad is holding the pillow as well.”
“...”
Jokes aside, Lucas didn’t stop them from throwing pillows at one another. At least he can see a bit regarding their ability with this.
For example...he didn’t know Supergirl sucked at aiming until now…
Kid Flash also isn’t properly dodging despite having super speed.
Raven panics too much.
Miss Martian is lacking some common sense.
Speedy knows his surroundings well but is too hot-headed to make fast decisions.
Aqua Lad is too stiff and serious. He will become Batman at this rate.
To add on it, Robin is too impulsive as well and ignores his teammates. Even when he was training him and Wonder Girl together, he was only doing his own thing and doesn’t care when I attack Wonder Girl.
Wonder Girl relies too much on her strength. She’s an Amazon and not Hulk…
All in all, these kids were indeed more powerful than normal people. However, they still have plenty of flaws.
For now, he will slowly polish them until they truly become powerful.
At this time, Robin and Wonder Girl finally managed to drag their tired bodies and walked back to the lounge only to be greeted by a massive pillow fight.
“...What’s happening?”
Suddenly, they felt a shadow cover them from behind and they both had a bad feeling.
“What are you two standing there for? Go join them!”
Lucas handed the two with pillows and threw them at the others!
“Ahhh!!!”
The fight lasted for a while.
Finally, after an hour, everyone collapsed on the ground while panting.
“I can’t...believe...pillow fight...is so...exhausting!”
“...Let’s not do this again…”
“...Agreed.”
At first, they had thought that Lucas would stop them when it got out of hand. They were secretly waiting for him to stop them so they can have an excuse for themselves.
However...this bastard threw in Aqua Lad followed by Robin and Wonder Girl…
Not to mention that he would keep agitating them to throw a few more with more power…
What kind of supervisor is this!?
Have you seen a supervisor encouraging others to pillow fight!?
What’s next? Food fight?
…
...Let’s not think about it.
It was better to behave more in the future…
Lucas looked at them and laughed.
“Well? Had fun?”
“...”
Fun? Why does it look like you're the only one that had fun instead!?
The others were too speechless to retort any further.
Lucas chuckled and shook his head.
“Alright. Rest up for now. Tomorrow, I will start training you all.”
After giving them a few more reminders, Lucas walked to the Zeta tube and left.
Having appeared back in Gotham, Lucas went to Pamela’s bar to check-in if everything was ok.
Walking to the building, Lucas saw a neon sign on the front door that wrote [SIRENS]. When Pamela and the others had asked what to call the bar, Lucas had casually named it after the comic title of the three being Gotham City Sirens.
Unexpectedly, the trio took a liking to it and agreed on the name.
Lucas walked in and saw that the place was already almost completely decorated.
The walls were decorated with vines and beautiful glowing flowers were sprouting from it. At the center of the bar was a bunch of interweaving vines and flowers surrounding a series of light bulbs which made it look like an exotic chandelier.
The couches were velvet black while the tables were checkered red and black.
The floor was completely covered with a black rug making each step soft and comfortable. It wouldn't be a problem to even remove your shoes here.
Over at the counter bar, there were also a few black cat decorations. Selina probably added those just because she liked it.
Looking at it, it isn’t really more of a bar but rather, a club!
There was even a stage for a DJ and a dance floor too.
Lucas walked over to the three who were taking a break while Pamela mixed a few cocktails for them.
“Ah, Lucas. You’re here?”
“Yeah, just checking in. Seems like you guys really went all out.”
Selina smiled at that and even purred.
“Of course...we’re spending your money after all, why should we hold back?”
“...”
Alright, let’s not listen to this thief girl.
Lucas looked at the cocktail that Pamela had mixed. It had a weird color of red and blue as well as a bit of green…
Pamela noticed his look and laughed.
“Interested?”
“Yeah. What’s this one called?”
“Try it.”
Lucas shrugged and didn’t mind. He brought the drink to his lips while Pamela explained.
“That’s a Harley Quinn. A bit of blue, red, and a tint of crazy.”
“Pft-!”
Lucas was so surprised that he sprayed out the drink. Of course, he can’t do it in front of Pamela so he did it while facing Harley.
“...”
Harley was waiting to ask how it felt to drink her juice but was now drenched with her own cocktail, making her completely speechless!
Imbreak
Besides, I am also still working and only managed to sneak this chap in. I'll see if I can sneak more this week.
Now that the Young Justice has been established, it's actually hard to pick a villain for them...I can't use some of the ones in the show because some characters are not present here, but I'll see what I can do.
As for those requesting that MC should meet the Joker too since he is after all, Batman's Little Brother...it will happen soon.
That's all, see ya next chap!
