Chapter 2: Never-ending Harrassment
Goken is back in his room looking at his mirror. Ever since meeting those weirdos, his life has turned upside down. He knew that Ms. Canary is a member of that blasted Justice League. He also has a suspicion that the kids that were staring at him earlier are involved as well, especially the blonde-haired girl that keeps looking at him. He could have sworn that she looked familiar. The worst part is that now everyone knows he can fight. What’s point of hiding now?
Goken decided it was best to stop covering his appearance. He smirked in thought. ‘Guess it’s time for the bad boy to come out.’ Walking to the closet, Goken pulls out a black leather jacket, a white T-Shirt that will show off a bit of his chest, a necklace with a replica of a certain orange four-star ball, and black jeans with many pockets. A loud knock interrupted his thoughts. He opened the door and was greeted with an irritated Chi-Chi.
“Son Goken, why were you late today? Start explaining or I will have to punish you for the weekend,” she threatened, making Goken pale. He took a deep breath and glanced at his mother. “The P.E teacher held me back when she found out about my skills. I did hide them the best I could mom, but she says that my walk is a trait of a warrior. If those damned costume people didn’t invade our territory, I wouldn’t be in this mess,” he exasperated. Chi-Chi softened her stern look and replaced it with a consoling look. “It’s alright Goken, I understand. If I transferred you, no doubt they would transfer their kids too," she said. "By the way, can you get your father for me Goken? It’s almost dinner time," she asked. Knowing his father, Goken used Instant Transmission to transport to the woods, finding his father cutting the wood with his ki.
“Dad! It’s almost time for dinner,” he shouted. Goku was immediately by his son’s side. “My bad son, I was getting some wood for camping. Can you help me get wood too?” Goken nodded. “Yeah, I’ll help you dad.” Before they could transport out of the woods, they were confronted by Batman and Superman. Goken glared at them.
“What do you want?” he spoke with venom. Batman ignored Goken and glared at Goku. “We had readings of deforestation and it originated from here,” Batman replied.
Goku looked confused. "Deforestation? I was just getting firewood for a camp night."
Batman's face didn't change. However, he was inwardly panicking. ‘He cleanly chopped trees down just with his bare hands?!’ “Is that so Mr. Son? Until I confirm it, you have no choice but to come us.” Goken was shocked at this. ‘This bastard just wants to find out our powers. That self-righteous prick!’
Goku hesitated at first but conceded. “Fine, I’ll come. Goken, go back to your mother and tell her I won’t be joining dinner for the night,” he said. Goken nodded and transported back to the Son Home. He walked into the kitchen and saw his mother with dinner on the table. Chi-Chi noticed Goku wasn’t back with her son.
“What happened Goken? Where’s your father?” Chi-Chi asked. Goken growled and balled his hands into fists. “That blasted Justice League came back and took dad to their place,” he replied. Chi-Chi was seeing red but calmed herself. She sighed, “Let’s just eat our dinner. You can eat your father’s food since he will likely be home tomorrow.”
Goken washed the dishes when he was finished and walked to his bedroom. He prayed that his father didn’t do anything irrational.
Watchtower
“State your name,” interrogated Batman. He knew Goku's name but he wants to record it as footage. His detective work is no joke. Apparently, Goku was taken to a building that is located in space. The place was huge and had three teleporting spots and a U-shaped meeting table with holographic computers. The people with Batman were Wonder Woman, Superman, and Martian Manhunter. Goku was amazed to say the least but had to be prepared if the ‘Justice’ League tried something on him.
“My name is Son Goku,” he replied.
“Are you Kryptonian?” Batman asked. Goku was confused by that word.
“No, what is a Kryptonian?” he asked, confused. The interrogators were shocked at his answer.
“An alien race that consists of people that have super-hearing, super-strength, and get their power from the sun,” Superman chipped in. Goku made an ‘o’ face.
“Ok then, what race are you? There’s no way a human is capable of having that much power,” Batman said. Goku wanted to retort that humans are able of doing that but wisely didn’t say it.
“I’m a Saiyan sent to Earth.” Goku didn’t want the JL knowing what the Saiyans were. However, he didn’t know that Martian Manhunter had heard of his race.
“I know what the Saiyans are,” all eyes turned to the Martian, “They are a race that purges planets and worked under a tyrant named Frieza. They are extinct due an asteroid destroying their planet.” Everyone was alarmed at the revelation. Batman glared at Goku as if he was worse than dirt.
Goku immediately held his hands up, “Wait! I know that they were evil but I’m good. I’ve been saving the planet myself and other people from villains.” This seemed to relax Superman and Wonder Woman, but not Manhunter and Batman.
“Alright, Goku you need to cooperate us or else I’ll have to arrest you,” threatened Batman. Goku wanted to glare and shout but knew it wouldn’t help his situation. He decided to explain his adventures on Earth and the evils he stopped such as Majin Buu, Cell, and even Frieza. The JL calmed down but Batman was skeptical. It was as if the Saiyan was making up the story.
“Goku, in order for us to believe you, you’ll have to allow Martian Manhunter to read your mind to confirm if you are telling the truth,” he proposed. Goku was lucky he can conjure up only part of his memories including how he came to Earth. It’s so that they won’t know how he gained his abilities. He let down his mind barrier and the Martian began looking into his memories. After he was done, he transferred the information to his colleagues. Said members were shocked and Batman nodded towards Goku, who sighed that he can finally leave. Before he could even transport, he felt a hand on his shoulder and looked to see Superman.
“Goku, I apologize for my friend Batman. His methods are… disturbing but he only wants to protect his friends. I hope you can forgive him for what he did.” Goku nodded and smiled. “It’s alright, I already forgive him. We all have friends to protect, that’s why I always train to get stronger.”
Superman smiled. “Exactly. Also, I too was sent to Earth as a baby when my planet exploded. I never knew we have that much in common Goku.” Goku laughed. “Yeah, that’s awesome to see someone of a similar story. We might even be best friends.” Superman laughed too. He then stopped. “One more thing Goku. Have you considered joining us yet?”
Goku thought for a moment. “Sorry Superman, but I’m going to say no. Being a hero is good but I enjoy being with my family and friends and like I said before, if the Earth is in danger, I will come and help out.” Superman wasn’t surprised but nodded nonetheless. “It’s alright I guess. But at least visit sometimes. I feel like this is the beginning of a new friendship.” Goku nodded. He waved as he used Instant Transmission.
Superman looked at where Goku was until he heard a familiar gruff voice. “Don’t tell me you trust him.” Superman sighed and turned to his friend. “Bruce, when will you ever learn to ease up? He’s not a bad guy.” Batman didn’t share the same opinion. “We don’t know that. He still hasn’t shown his full abilities and I tend to find a way to counter that should he be a threat in the future.”
Not this shit again. Superman left the Hall of Justice, with Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter. Batman eventually left to his cave. He began writing a new file.
Name: Son Goku
Alignment: Unknown; claims he is a hero
Threat level: Seemingly powerful; able to destroy an asteroid with beams
Race: Saiyan; a race of brutes known to kill inhabitants of their planets
Age: Unknown; appears to be in his 30's
Height: Possibly 5’9 or more
Batman sighed. He had to get more information on Goku’s abilities. He remembered Black Canary teaching a school
where Goku’s son attends so he had decided to call her tonight.
Next Day
Goken felt a weight on him. He opened his eyes to a familiar girl who looks like a mini-version of his mother. He smiled.
“Good morning, Pan. You’re trying to wake me up huh?” She nodded, her eyes brightened at her uncle. “Granny told me to get you Uncle Go’en or she will use fry-fry!” Goken knew what Pan meant and bolted up, his niece clinging around his neck. Goken held her and transported to the kitchen, startling his family. Gohan smiled at Goken while Videl giggled and pulled her daughter off of her brother-in-law. Goku and Chi-Chi smiled at the scene and handed her son his breakfast.
“You better hurry up son. If I hear that you’re tardy, you’ll be grounded until next Monday. Am I clear?” Pan giggled at her uncle while Goten ‘ooh’d’. Goken sighed, “I hear you mom. I can still use Instant Transmission you know?” Chi-Chi had a sheepish smile. “Oh yeah… I almost forget that you are the son of Goku.” Said 23rd WMAT Champion laughed.
Goken looked at his watch, “Oh man! I need to get my clothes on.” After eating in a pace Goku would be impressed of, Goken bolted into his room and used his ki to replace his PJ’s with his new clothing. He rummaged through his drawer and found a pair of polarized sunglasses. He smirked as he put them on. Grabbing his supplies in capsules, Goken transported to the back of the school without bystanders.
Orange Star Entrance
Goken strolled through the hallway as if he owned the school. Everyone in the hallway stopped their talking when they noticed him. The guys were stunned. The girls had hearts in their eyes, including the *****es that degraded him yesterday. Even the girls in the suspicious group he noticed before were blushing profusely. All in all, now he is automatically the most popular kid. Too bad he ignored them all as if they’re below dirt.
“Who is that sexy man?”
“Is he single?”
“I want to eat him up…”
The boy in question sneered at their lustful looks. They are just shallow sluts that follow like mindless sheep stuck in their world. He didn’t bother to notice the blonde-haired girl looking at him.
Classroom
“Excuse me, but who are you and why are you in my class?” asked Ms. Haruka, not knowing that it was her student.
He smirked at her. “Why, it’s me Ms. Haruka, Son Goken.” She was shocked and dumbly nodded. By the time Goken walked up to his seat, many girls were surrounding him pretending they didn’t ignore him and tried to get a date. He just ignored them while he is doing his work. Goken didn’t pay attention to the suspicious group of ten talking about him.
“Well I’ll be. I guess that nerd gimmick was all a façade,” said Victor amused by the girls’ attempts to get the hot guy.
“Guess he wasn’t a nerd at all,” said Garfield. He sort of regretted making fun of him when he witnessed the jock from yesterday getting his ass handed.
“Then this is the guy Batman told me about. We have to watch him and make sure he isn’t a threat,” said Richard. Like his mentor, he also doesn’t trust Goken and makes sure he is watching his movements.
“Richard, you’re just overreacting. That Goken guy seems to be cool to hang out with. Maybe we should try to be his friends,” suggested Garfield. Victor agreed with his friend. Richard couldn’t come up with a retort so he allowed Garfield to win for now. He continued examining Goken from afar.
Said boy was sleeping because he already knew today’s lesson as if it were a kindergarten’s book. The teacher Ms. Haruka noticed him sleeping. She grabbed her ruler and smacked his table, waking him up. The boy felt unnerved by her glare.
“Care to tell me the answer on the board Mr. Son?” The class ‘ooh’d’ at Goken. Knowing the answer, he said it without hesitation. “Proteins are compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, which are arranged as strands of amino acids. They play an essential role in the cellular maintenance, growth, and functioning of the human body.”
The class was shocked, even Victor was surprised. Haruka allowed Goken to sleep until class ended. The students resumed to the subject at hand as if nothing happened.
Lunch
Goken tried his best to sit in a table without people trying to be his friend. He knew that now they all like him because of his feats, particularly his looks. He wanted to call them out on their hypocrisy and shallowness but decided to avoid them. Right now our hero is on the rooftop eating his rice and senzu bean. The senzu bean is meant to quell his Saiyan hunger so he can eat a regular lunch and not pig out in front of the public eye.
Before Goken grabbed his rice, he sensed eleven ki signatures. Turning around he sees five boys and six girls walking towards him. He remembered them as the suspicious ones from yesterday. Goken cursed in his mind on the upcoming confrontation.
The spiky haired boy walked up to him with a stoic look. “Fight me.” His friends looked at him in shock. “Richard, are you crazy?! This is the same guy who defeated Black Canary,” screamed Garfield. The others agreed.
Richard never took his eyes off of Goken. “I need to see if it wasn’t a fluke and that Canary was holding back. I want you to fight me right here right now,” he said as he took on a fighting stance.
Goken sighed and stood up. He put his hands behind his back and smirked. Richard was seething at the cockiness.
“Come on spiky, try to hit me!” Richard snarled and charged in with a flying kick, which was blocked by Goken’s index finger. He was seething in anger and kept throwing flurries of punches and kicks, basically fighting akin to a brawler. Goken kept blocking to the point until he got bored and punched Richard in the gut, knocking him immobile. He picked up Richard and tossed him to Victor, who shook his head in disappointment. Goken glared at them. “I finally realize something. I assume that paranoid bat had decided to spy on me and you guys must be his… agents or whatever. I thought High School would be normal and I could just blend in but you all made it harder for me.” Richard glared hatefully at Goken, who wasn’t fazed.
Before Goken exited, he decided to examine each of them so he won't forget. From left to right, a tall girl with dark red-orange hair and green eyes, a girl with blackish-purple hair and amethyst eyes, a girl with black hair, blue eyes, and star-shaped earrings, another black haired girl with blue eyes and red lipstick, a familiar blonde-haired girl with blue eyes and fair skin, a brown-haired girl with brown eyes and three freckles on her cheeks, a girl with brown hair, blue eyes and red lipstick, a boy with spiky blonde hair and blue eyes, a tall dark-skinned man, a boy with black hair and blue eyes similar to the spiky-haired kid that he just defeated, and a boy with red hair and green eyes.
Goken shook his head and walked out, ignoring the blonde girl’s attention. He couldn’t help but wonder why she is trying to speak to him. ‘Girls...’ he thought. The lunch bell ranged, indicating that lunch ended, angering the middle child of Goku. He didn’t care anymore about hiding his powers so he locked onto Canary’s signature and transported himself a couple of feet away from her, luckily at the entrance. He used his materialization technique to conjure a black gi without the undershirt. He walked in and waited for the rest of his fellow classmates. Canary noticed him and walked up.
“My my, I guess this is why you wanted to hold back. No doubt all the girls are going to chase after you,” she said with a coy smile. Goken shrugged. “I’ll just turn them down. Right now is not the time to find love.” She was confused by that statement but nodded. The rest of the class came in and was gobsmacked at Goken’s physique. His muscles are akin to a Greek God among men. The girls blushed, even the disguised heroines had lustful eyes, which freaked out Goken.
Canary chuckled. “Alright everyone. Today, we are going to do some warm-ups before I set up a spar.” Everyone gulped at the mention of ‘warm-ups’. Goken smirked. The whole class had to do 40 sit-ups, 50 push-ups, and 4 laps around the gym; outside. The demi-Saiyan did it with ease along with the blonde girl, black-haired boy, and black-haired girl (w/ star earrings). Goken sat on the bleachers watching in amusement at his fellow classmates’ struggles. He felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to see the blonde-haired girl he had seen back at lunch. Goken inwardly sighed and tried to be polite.
“Anything you need…?” “I'm Kara Kent. It’s nice to finally meet you Goken,” she said smiling brightly. ‘This is getting awkward…’ Goken thought. He responded, “It’s pleasant to meet you too Kara.” ’I need to keep a sharp eye on her. No doubt she is associated with that bat.’
She leaned in a little. “I’m Supergirl, part of the team that came to your friends’ place a couple of months ago.” Goken was shocked and internally groaned. “That’s why you looked familiar. That means your friends are heroes too considering that arrogant spiky midget’s attempt to fight me.” Kara giggled. She loved a guy with a sense of humor.
“Don’t mind him. He’s just like his mentor in some ways.” Goken had a feeling who the mentor is but asked anyway.
“Who is his mentor?” “Batman of course.” ‘Aw ****… then he’s the one leading these teams on me.’ Goken nodded at that. They went back to the line-up when the class had finished.
“Alright class, good job. I have made a bracket list of spars. Right now, the first match will be Donna Troy vs Son Goken.” The class bar the ten students cheered for Goken, who was disgusted at their sudden support. Even the jocks are kissing his steps. He walked up to the mock version of the WMAT ring and eyed his opponent. Turns out it was that girl with the star earrings back at lunch. She eyed at him too and gave a sultry smile.
“Begin!” The teacher did an air signal with her arm. Donna was confident that she could catch him off guard with her warrior moves. She charged at him with a haymaker, which he dodged by an inch. Donna thrusted her knee up to Goken’s gut; only to be blocked by his knee respectively. Using her arms, she grabbed Goken by his shoulders and tried to pin him. Too bad for her, he didn’t budge at all.
Goken broke her grip with ease and did a backflip, moving a few feet away from the Amazon Sidekick. She was annoyed and threw herself with a dynamic kick, attempting to finish the spar. Only to have Goken sidestepping at the last second, almost making her fall off the ring. The girl was irritated but was impressed by the stud’s maneuvers. She charged in once again to feign a right hook. Goken was one step ahead so he did not flinch from her right hook and instead used his left leg to smash into her temple, knocking her off the ring.
“Winner, Son Goken!” Everyone clapped, despite the match being one-sided. Donna got up and grabbed her head in pain. Although she lost, she now liked the boy even more. A fighter in his caliber is worthy to be a man for an Amazon like her. Goken excused himself to the restroom, which conveniently appeared to be in a secluded hallway in the gymnasium. After washing his hands, he walked back to the bleachers.
The last match for round 1 was ending soon. The red-headed girl he had seen earlier is easily winning her match. The opponent was the blonde jock he embarrassed the other day; he was punched out of the ring and fell onto the mat.
Conveniently, the bell had rung so he decided to take a walk down Satan City.
Not even five minutes and he is involved in a bank robbery. Goken was minding his own business until he was surrounded by a group of thugs. They each had knives out and was looking for a blood bath. Goken sighed and smirked at them.
“Isn’t it too old to play with toys?” The thugs were seething in anger. The leader ran at Goken and tried to swipe his neck. Goken sidestepped and knocked him out with a chop to the neck. The rest of them tried to run but Goken caught up and kicked them together, slumping on the ground in pain. The cops arrived and apprehended the hooligans. What Goken didn’t realize was that the superheroes had witnessed the scene.
Just as he was about to leave, Goken was confronted by them. The spiky-haired kid he recognized had green tights with black ankle-high steel-toed boots, green elbow-high gloves, a short-sleeve green t-shirt underneath a red armored vest with a yellow letter "R" inside a black circle over his left pectoral muscle, a yellow utility belt, a black cape that has a yellow interior and a domino mask on his face.
“We can’t allow you to run around Goken. Batman told me that if you are becoming a threat by abusing your powers, you will be apprehended and Batman will deal with you.”
Goken snapped. “First off, you can’t tell my ass what to do. This country already has heroes who told you to waltz in? Second, tell that bat freak to f--k off and leave me be! I’m out of here!” Not caring about who is witnessing, Goken took off as fast as he could. He doesn’t want people from some other country telling his ass what’s right and wrong. ‘I’m done with these pricks!!!’ Knowing that the paranoid bat knew where he lived, Goken went to Capsule Corporation. He sensed a greater force colliding with him.
Before Goken could react, he felt lightheaded and darkness took over his consciousness.
"Supergirl to Robin, I've captured him." Her tone had a bit of remorse.
"Good work Supergirl, now we have to take him to Mount Justice."
