Chapter 13: Chapter 13 -[Mistress Ivy]
"Phew" Thundra's speed and strength were on par with Diana, fortunately, my armor, although simple, was resistant, protecting me from most of the damage from her fist as I flew several meters through the greenhouse wall.
"T-That hurt" Turning slowly I stayed face down for a few seconds before hearing footsteps.
"Why didn't you fight back?!" Listening to the Amazon's voice I only let out a small moan of pain "The databases mentioned that you could be on par with Superman if you wanted!"
Calmly getting up, I managed to rest leaning on my arms while I spoke, praying to calm the woman.
"I-I can't, apart from the fact that there is no reason to fight with you" It seemed that my words only bothered her because I felt her grab me by the neck, lifting me up forcefully, making me moan again in pain from the movement.
"You say that because I'm a woman! I read about that ridiculous twentieth-century idea of male superiority!" Shaking me, she pulled me in front of her eyes, suddenly remaining silent. "What happened to your eyes?"
Looking at her face I noticed that she was surprised, and it was no wonder because my eyes were an alarming spectacle, the reckless use of my heat vision had hurt me in my Kryptonian form in such a way that my human form showed damage, which fortunately only included light sensitivity along with completely bloodshot sclerae.
"Consequences of work" Taking a breath I looked at her as she analyzed my eyes "You're not going to stop are you?" My question caught her attention as she smiled at me in such a way that I forced myself to swallow. "Well, there's no other way."
Pressing a button hidden in my right palm caused a white gas to come out of the chest of my armor, surprising Thundra who let me go while coughing.
"-Thank Batman's paranoia-" Touching a switch on my wrist I noticed how lines of electricity began to run through my gloves so I closed my fists.
Running I jumped on Thundra who was still coughing, taking her by surprise with my electric shock causing her to scream, although it didn't seem like she was in pain as her right arm tried to hit me.
Crouching to dodge, I prepared myself by delivering a powerful blow to her abdomen, knocking the air out of her while she was lifted off the ground slightly, which I took advantage of to follow up with a spinning kick, sending her against a wall full of roots, completely destroying it.
Taking a deep breath I activated my communicator.
"Please someone tell me who's coming to help me" Batman's voice was the one that answered me.
"I'll be here in a minute, Wonder Woman will take a little longer e-" My training saved me as I threw myself to the ground, avoiding an iron mace attached to a chain which destroyed the place where it had hit.
"The truth is, I don't think I have a minute," barely getting up and managing to cover my body with my arms while Thundra slammed against me with her entire body, sending me flying against an old fountain, destroying it.
"You attack now! Yet you are weak!" slowly getting up from the ground I watched her turn her mace ready to finish the job "What a disappointment!" I knew I couldn't avoid the blow so I could only accept that it was going to hurt a lot.
Without ceasing to see the weapon approaching, I noticed a movement to my left seconds before a thick root shot out against the weapon, diverting its trajectory while the root continued its journey until it reached a surprised Thundra and grabbed her by the face to drag her away from the place.
"You're just a big bother Max" Listening to Pamela's sensual voice I could still detect the anger she felt.
Turning around I watched her emerge from a gap in the wall where several roots followed her, looking at her long red hair I noticed that she was still wearing the jacket I had bought her, as well as a small garment made of plants to cover her.
"My eyes are much higher" I forced myself to look into her eyes, holding my jaw tightly, letting me see the anger, concern, and annoyance in her eyes "-Although with the state of yours I will let you pass-".
Letting go of me she started walking towards the fight Thundra was having against her plants before I stopped her.
"Pamela!" Stopping slightly, she looked at me subtly. "I thank you for saving my life. Even though you are furious with me, I want to make it up to you. Will you allow me?"
Seeing that I had finished, she continued on her way without answering me, causing me to sigh, however, before disappearing, I heard her voice slightly.
"A chance" Hearing her answer a small smile of hope appeared on my face before the pain caused by Thundra brought me back to reality.
"-Damn-" Bending slightly I touched the communicator "Batman, Ivy has come to my rescue" Batman's voice didn't take long to respond.
"Yes, I can see her fighting a woman with Amazonian characteristics, where are you?" looking for some medicine in my armor I replied.
"I'm in the greenhouse, I'm looking for something for the pain, Thundra doesn't hold back and my armor isn't made to fight someone like her" A small tremor made me stagger slightly causing another stab of pain "-Shit-".
"What you are looking for is in the lower compartments near your left leg, take two pills if the pain is very bad, we will need all the help until Wonder Woman arrives" Following his instructions I managed to find a compartment with several orange pills taking two hoping that the effect would be quick.
Fortunately, the effect of Batman's medicine was immediate because when some familiar explosions joined the fight the pain began to disappear allowing me to leave the building.
As soon as I managed to get out I had to cover myself from the debris that flew when something landed hard a few meters from me, lowering my arms I looked for the origin, finding Pamela slightly injured as she tried to get up from the ground.
"Pamela!" Running, I reached for her to try to lift her up, something that allowed me to see how tired or hurt she was.
"-That gorilla is very annoying-" My concern for her decreased slightly when I noticed that her bruises and wounds were beginning to heal, slowly, but they healed.
"Damn it" Knowing that Batman couldn't last against Thundra alone I made a decision "Get some rest Pamela" Without waiting for a response from her which I knew would make her seriously angry I ran out to the fight.
Fighting Batman, the Amazon never noticed the flash behind her before I jumped on her, holding her with my new claws and fangs.
I knew I couldn't afford to use something with eyes or it would worsen my condition, so Wildmutt was a better option especially since he was one of my aliens who had already reached maturity showing great changes.
My size had increased greatly, going from a lion to a small car, making my entire body encompass Thundra, my claws and teeth had grown, allowing me to hold the Amazon, causing a slight cry of pain while my mouth closed on her shoulder and my claws stopped her arms.
The last two changes were the brown stripes that covered my entire back until reaching my new tail while the Omnitrix was still on my forehead.
"What kind of animal is this?!" Seeing that Batman was making distance, I let go of her when she tried to grab me to jump away from her. "You hurt me!" Touching her shoulder, she looked in surprise at the blood that stained her hand.
"Grrrrr" alert I moved calmly while waiting for her to attack.
"You will die beast...wait...you have the symbol on your forehead!" Seeing me to my surprise she laughed "Well, you decided to fight, let's fight!" With a small jump she shot towards me at high speed, fortunately, Wildmutt was fast.
Dodging her attack I jumped at her again hoping to take her by surprise, unfortunately, she was waiting for me because without hesitation she took me into the air holding me by the neck and my left paw.
Tightening her grip caused me to grunt in pain before launching me against a pillar, destroying it, rolling I stood up while a little dizzy before letting out a roar and running towards her.
Thundra imitated me, causing us both to end up colliding in the middle. As soon as I tried to hold on, I bit her left arm, generating a scream of pain. However, she gave me a powerful blow to the abdomen, sending me flying as I let go of her.
In a flash I returned to my human form due to the pain of the blow, blinding her slightly, a point which Batman used to join the fight.
"-Shit-" landing hard I took a moment to catch my breath before forcing myself to get up, looking at Batman I noticed that he was barely managing to avoid Thundra from holding him "Okay, another try" transforming back into Wildmutt I ran to the fight.
Thundra tried to hold me, ignoring Batman, fortunately, with my agility I managed to avoid her hands as I ran past her until my tail reached her face grabbing her, turning on my axis I threw her against the greenhouse while keeping my guard up noticing Batman arriving at my side.
The sound of breaking concrete alerted us that the Amazon was about to attack, Thundra left the building breaking another part of the wall ready to continue fighting until a scream stopped her.
"Enough!" Diana's powerful voice stopped her or maybe it was her landing calmly between her and us "Why do you fight with my companions for no reason?" Seeing that we had reinforcements, I returned to my human form, managing to see that Thundra looked very surprised to see Diana.
Knowing that I would no longer be of help, I walked to the greenhouse where I could hear some noises, finding Pamela already recovered working on the roots.
"Thank you again for the help," Pamela barely listened to me and gave me a glance as she continued with her task, reaching her side I continued "Pamela, tell me what I have to do with the opportunity you're giving me."
Stopping her work she looked me straight in the eyes before holding my jaw again.
"Mistress Ivy from now until a week passes" Bewildered she blinked at something that seemed to amuse her "For the next week you will be my little servant, that is of course if you want my forgiveness, unless you're lying" releasing me she continued with her work leaving me lost in my thoughts.
Being the servant of a dangerous woman who is almost always a villain and to whom I felt very attracted not only by my two plant-based forms or simply refuse losing both her and our small plant to which I also felt attached.
The decision, although difficult, only had one option.
"-Flash will never let me forget it-" Releasing a sigh I looked at her "I accept your terms, as long as we don't commit crimes Pa-Mistress Ivy" Pleased Pamela looked at me with a smile that caused me to shiver.
"Calm down, I have no intention of the League attacking me" Seeing that her work was finished she continued "Look for me in the greenhouse in the western part of the city, the only one with energy, I will be waiting for you servant" finishing speaking she began to leave in the direction of the large hole she had created with a subtle movement of her hips.
"-Batman is going to be angry-" Bruce's deep voice sounded behind me, scaring me.
"Correct" Completely scared I turned around to be face to face with an angry Batman "What did you think when you accepted her proposal? Do you forget that everyone in the League is keeping an eye on you after what happened?" recovering from the shock I let out a light sigh.
"With everything that has happened to you with villains, can you blame me? Besides, I have a month's leave, I don't see anything wrong with spending a week next to a woman as beautiful as Pamela" While I pretended to be fine, I really prayed that Bruce would be believed the story because the pain was beginning to return.
Fortunately, he seemed to notice what was happening to me because with a turn he started to leave.
"I will take you to Ivy's hideout, you will carry a tracker with you so we know where you are at all times" Following him I expected to find the two Amazons talking however they were nowhere to be found "Wonder Woman left with Thundra to talk, she didn't want to talk in my presence."
Nodding slightly I noticed how a new model of the Batplane appeared above us.
"Armored model" two cables came out of the plane so looking at Batman I noticed how he was hooking one of them on his belt so I imitated him, managing to hold on for a few seconds before being lifted into the cockpit.
--------------------
Minutes later…
--------------------
"Thanks for the lift, see you in a week" Hooking on the cable again I got off the vehicle without problems in front of an old greenhouse.
"We will monitor Ivy's every movement, be careful," waving to Batman from the ground, I thanked him for his concern seconds before he left.
Releasing a small sigh, I walked to the door of the building, opening it without hesitation, noticing the change in temperature, as well as the large number of plants that covered the entire construction.
"Could you tell Pamela that I have arrived." Knowing that the plants understood me, I stayed still at the entrance of the place until she appeared.
A few seconds later the sound of something crawling made me slightly alert so I prepared for an attack, which fortunately never came because the origin of the noise was a very familiar root.
Coming out of all the plants I found myself looking at a black root with some thorns which surrounded me in a very familiar way.
"-Hello little one-" Smiling slightly, I lightly touched the plant knowing that with it I was not in danger thanks to the connection we shared "-Will you take me to your Mother?-" Moving away from my body, she lightly held my wrist before making me walk with her inside the place.
A short walk later I found myself in front of the door of a room which opened allowing me to see Pamela working with some chemicals.
"I'm here Mistress Ivy" Crossing my arms behind my back I waited for her to speak which happened after several seconds.
"Good, I'm glad to see that you are punctual" Leaving her work she looked at me "Follow me" Listening to her order I followed her as we left the room being extremely careful where I stepped because, in my human form, the plants would not hesitate to attack me.
Our walk took us to a room full of plants that moved everywhere, ignoring our arrival.
"Give them water," listening to Pamela, I noticed how she pointed to a tree with a small smug smile. However, before I could obey her, I decided to express the only doubt I had.
"You'll keep an eye on me, right?" Smiling she just denied so I let out a sigh "Mistress Ivy, your plants will not hesitate to attack me as soon as you leave us."
"Do you really think I brought you to die, you will have company" A movement among all the plants made me see several black roots coming out to surround me in a friendly way "Our little girl wants to take care of her Father"
Watching her confidently touch the roots knowing that at least I wouldn't be at the mercy of the plants.
"Well, I have work to do, I'll leave you to your task." Without waiting, Pamela left, leaving me alone with all her dangerous plants with a single task.
------------------------
Three hours later…
-----------------------
Completely finished I entered Pamela's laboratory causing her to look at me before letting out a small laugh which only made me click my mouth in irritation.
"Did you have any problems with your task servant?" Hearing the amusement in her voice I just sighed, forgetting my annoyance.
"I was protected from the plants, however, that did not make the job any easier, my Mistress forgot to mention that some would avoid water and that was tiring" Feeling something on my wrist I noticed how it was held by a small black root which reminded me something "By the way, does she have a name" raising my hand I made her notice what I was talking about.
"If you want one, her name is Thorn." Curious, I looked at the small root that demanded my attention, tightening its grip slightly.
"Calm down Thorn, you will always have my attention" Smiling I held the root noticing how it calmed down until Pamela spoke again.
"You can go rest, it's already late and you'll have a lot of work tomorrow." Opening one of the rooms that connected to her laboratory, she indicated my temporary home.
--------------
First day…
--------------
Like her plants, Pamela woke up with the dawn, so I was also awake at that time preparing her breakfast before she had to return to work.
"When you finish washing the dishes you should give the plants fertilizer, by the way, unlike water they will try to take more than their share so be alert" Knowing the problem I was about to have I just sighed.
"Yes, Mistress Ivy," Pamela's laughter was heard until I entered the greenhouse accompanied by Thorn. "Well, little one, I'm counting on you." Resigned, I began my task.
Several hours later I was completely dirty after my fight with the plants for fertilizer and the task of cooking lunch for Pamela.
"Take a quick bath, I'm hungry" Looking at the smile on her face I tried to focus on how beautiful she was to forget that it was only the first day.
-----------------
Second day…
-----------------
"PAMELA STOP IT!" struggling with the vines of an immense carnivorous plant I looked at an amused Pamela who stopped Thorn from helping me and preventing me from being eaten "I SWEAR PAMELA IF YOU DON'T SAVE ME I WILL BURN THIS PLACE!" A root silenced me as I continued fighting.
"You must ask for things as they should, remember that I am Mistress Ivy, now try it" Biting the root I managed to get it to release my mouth so I could scream.
"MISTRESS IVY SAVE ME!" A second later I ended up falling hard to the ground, letting out a moan of pain while I heard footsteps near me, so with an effort I raised my face, finding a smug smile on Pamela's face "Y-You're cruel."
--------------
Third day…
--------------
"Come on relax, this is your reward for yesterday" Sitting on my legs Pamela did not hesitate to use her charms while massaging my back with a special cream to relieve pain, however, pain was not what filled my mind "Thats nice".
Shivering slightly I tried to ignore the softness of her hands and legs as her massage continued as did her comments.
"T-This is not a r-reward" A movement made me curse as shame invaded me because now I had a problem in my front "-It's torture-" Feeling the movement of her legs I knew she was laughing while I enjoyed what she did.
----------------
Fourth day…
----------------
"I can't believe it, Red was right, you are her slave!" Looking at Harley's big smile, I could only look with terror at Pamela's back, who because of her tremors was enjoying everything. "We're going to have a lot of fun!" Swallowing slightly I spoke.
"I am not her slave Harley, I am her servant and unfortunately I only obey her" Pouting Harley shouted Pamela's name causing her to look at her before smiling evilly and speaking.
"Max, as long as Harley is our guest you will obey her as if she were me" Terrified I tried to speak before she continued "Unless you don't want my forgiveness" Releasing a sigh I just looked down resigned.
"As Mistress Ivy orders, Mistress Harley, I am at your service." The blonde's cry of joy only caused me to shiver.
--------------
Fifth day…
--------------
"Ok, that's all, I can't take it anymore!" Transforming into Wildmutt, I let out a roar, causing Harley's Hyenas to run away from me after bothering me for the last few hours.
I knew I would have problems, but I didn't care those things would pay for bothering me.
---------------
Sixth day…
---------------
"I regret what I did" Pamela and Harley had decided that my form of punishment was to stand by their side while they talked about anything that might make me uncomfortable, from girl problems to comparing heroes and villains' rearguards.
"You turn red, I'm too hot," holding back a moan, I looked out of the corner of my eye as Harley lost her blouse, leaving herself dressed only in her boots, a pair of jean shorts, and a sports bra.
"Max, Harley's glass is empty" Strengthening my willpower I walked towards them noticing the white lace outfit that Pamela had decided to wear because in her words "if I stole it I should wear it."
Leaning down I focused on the glass in front of me trying to ignore the pair of legs that moved slowly for my pleasure and torture.
"You know Red, I think we should let him come with us, what do you say Max?" Swallowing, I looked in front of me, ignoring both of them.
"I don't think this is a good idea, Mistress Harley, I've never drunk" I knew I had made a mistake even before I finished speaking.
"That's perfect, Red, and I will take your first time!" That comment was the last straw, I could feel my face turning red from the blood that was traveling to it, I looked pleadingly at Pamela who, to my surprise and embarrassment, smiled at me in a way that made my blush worse.
"Please, I'm done with this." Letting myself be guided by Harley, I sat between them looking at a glass full of vodka and a new bottle of said liquid.
-------------------------
Half a bottle later…
-------------------------
"-You know it's the worst-" lying with my head on Harley's legs, I looked at the ceiling, lost in my words. "-I think they do it on purpose, come on, women walk around in such revealing outfits if they don't want to catch everyone's eyes." -" For the last few minutes I had been talking about the clothing of various heroines.
It seemed like I was one of the calm drunks who lost their inhibitions since looking at Harley's chest I ran my fingers along her abdomen trying to reach them.
"Hey no" hitting me she stopped me with a smile "Why don't you try it first with red and I'll see if I'll let you" Nodding to her words I got up from her legs to lie down on those of an amused Pamela.
Trying again I allowed my fingers to trace the small vines that covered her abdomen before attempting to climb to her breasts being stopped again.
"But what a rude servant I have, just wanting to touch" Waving a finger in front of my face she denied "You must earn it."
Letting out a light sigh I nodded in agreement with her.
"M-Mistress Ivy, you are one of the most b-beautiful women I have ever seen," letting out a small noise, I blinked, remembering what I was doing, "And it doesn't matter that you torture me with your skimpy clothing, because you seriously leave nothing to my Imagination, I'm almost twenty years old, I-I've never been with a w-woman and you're walking around NAKED" shouting the last part, I noticed that I surprised her because she gave a small jump that made me laugh.
"Wait, you're a virgin?!" Listening to Harley's question, I looked at her, nodding slowly, causing her to open her eyes in surprise. "Pam, can-!" Whatever Harley was going to say, she stopped her with a vine.
"Max, remember, I look beautiful." Looking at her red hair, I raised my hand holding a small lock.
"I like your hair" Looking at her face I continued "I like your green color" Blinking I felt like sleep began to invade me "I like-" Before I could continue I felt like I was losing the battle against sleep ignoring the voices of both women.
--------------------------------
Seventh and last day…
--------------------------------
"I'm surprised you're not hungover." Looking at Pamela I noticed that something was different about her as well as that Harley had disappeared early after breakfast.
"It seems the Omnitrix helped me with that." Making a noise, Pamela looked at her work before returning her gaze to me.
"Max, I'm sure you remember everything that Thorn went through since I gave her your blood the first time" Cautiously I nodded "I want to ask you a big favor which will not be blackmailed by my forgiveness" taking two small pots she placed them in front of me on a small table.
"-Pamela What...?-" To my surprise she placed her hands on the two pots while she concentrated causing something to begin to be born in her palms which froze me because even though I was human I could feel the power she was using.
After several minutes, two small seeds fell from her hands directly into the pots, burying themselves and creating two small sprouts. However, seeing Pamela stagger caught my attention so I walked over to her to hold her.
"-Pamela...what did you do?" exhausted she answered.
"-I want more daughters-" Losing consciousness due to fatigue, she ended up falling asleep in my arms, so I carried her to her room, completely lost in what had happened in the last few minutes.
A few hours later while Pamela was sleeping and Harley didn't return I decided to look at the little sprouts knowing what Ivy was referring to about more daughters.
"-I can take away the dangerous thing, it will only be plants...I hope-" I scratched my head uneasily "-Even if Batman was upset-" thinking about it for a few minutes I made a decision.
While I was finishing cooking a tofu dish for Pamela, the sound of footsteps along with some annoying laughter made me notice that Harley had already decided to return.
"Servant!" Looking slightly over my shoulder I looked at a smiling Harley "Where's Pam? I need her to see what I bought for later" Returning to my task I answered her.
"She's sleeping, she did something that took away her energy" The feeling of someone behind me was the only warning before Harley held me by my sides "-What are you doing?-" Her response was to lean on my back causing me to freeze feeling her chest on my back.
A second later she let go of me while laughing hysterically, turning around I managed to see her pigtails as she left the kitchen.
"Ok, that was weird" Several minutes later while I finished setting the table both women came in so I could tell that Pamela had almost recovered from her act.
"Let's eat, Max, I need to talk to you when we're done." Nodding, I obeyed because until midnight I was still her servant.
Something that made me nervous was that Harley didn't speak during the meal, she just looked at me while laughing lightly until Pamela stopped her with a look.
"Harley go prepare everything, we'll catch up with you" Listening to Pamela the blonde just looked at me with a big smile before jumping out of the kitchen "Now, there's something you and I need to talk about"
Knowing more or less what she was referring to, I looked at her waiting.
"All week I gave you a hard time to see when you would give up, of course, nothing was lethal, I would be lying to say that I wished your death, that was influenced by your two plant-based transformations" Well I had some advantage.
"There is also the fact that you are a Hero and you almost always do stupid things to save the day, I am sure that it will not be the last time that you will do something similar therefore my anger will repeat itself" Looking at me she crossed her legs before finishing "I won't forgive you completely, but I won't be upset either, plus there is someone who won't let me" a second later a Thorn vine appeared next to her.
"I'm glad to hear your words Pamela" Looking at me she corrected me "Mistress Ivy" smiling slightly I asked her to continue, walking to her laboratory to allow her to look at her two small plans "Especially because now there will be three of them who will be on my side."
Excited, she approached the two new plants while talking to them in a low voice and caressing them.
One of the new plants was hazel with dark orange leaves, its size was about a meter and it was just as lively as Pamela.
The second plant was a light pink color with yellow leaves and like its half-meter sister, although it seemed to be calmer.
"Y-You weren't forced, you know?" Smiling, I got close enough to lightly touch the leaves of each plant.
"I know, but I've also noticed that with Thorn's company, your criminal acts have been less violent" Noticing her gaze I continued, "Batman told me, so I decided that two more harmless plants wouldn't do any harm."
Two roots came out behind Pamela to take the two plants, only she knowing their destination, Pamela's hand on my face caught my attention so I found myself looking directly into her eyes.
"There is no doubt that you earned your prize" Kissing me lightly she took my hand to walk towards her room where to my surprise Harley was waiting for us smiling, wearing only a robe.
"I-I, it's not that I object, b-but what's wrong?" As Pamela walked towards Harley she slightly noticed a movement in her body seconds before her blouse fell off at the same time that Harley's robe was removed from her "-Oh god-" both women were wearing lace underwear leaving nothing to the imagination. .
"I proposed to Pam that you deserved a prize for everything you have done as a Hero and with what you told us when you were drunk, we are your prize" I could only look at them in shock while my body began to respond to what I saw.
"Come on, we'll make you forget everything." Letting myself be guided by Pamela's roots, I began to get closer to them.
[T/N: BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!]
----------------------------
Four in the morning…
---------------------------
"I'm going to get something to eat and come back with drinks." Leaving both women to catch their breath, I left the room, missing their talk.
"P-Pam...I can't feel my body...are we going to die?" Harley was staring into space completely exhausted with her entire body covered in sweat and various marks.
"He's supposed to be just a human...we underestimated him since it was his first time" Upside down Pamela could barely move her neck being in the same position as Harley only recovering faster "He's a hero...he won't kill us, even if he doesn't, I don't know if this is better than murder."
"Pam, it must be that his watch changed him and made him a sexual beast," Harley slowly relaxed and barely listening to Pamela's response.
"That must be it...he would need an alien to calm down" The sound of footsteps woke them up, scaring them, however before they could speak they saw the door open and their soon-to-be murderer in front of them.
"I brought you water" Walking towards Harley I helped her first drink water holding her, slightly surprised I noticed how she desperately took the water, passing by Pamela I turned her around however she took the water without help.
"Well, it's a little while before the day starts, so let's continue." Without seeing their faces, my eyes were only focused elsewhere, as were my ears, which ignored some slight pleas.
[T/N: If you take into account the theories that the Omnitrix slowly improves the user's DNA over time this would make sense, also with how the girls were acting Max deserves some revenge.]
-----------------------------------
Wayne Manor, hours later…
-----------------------------------
"Good morning, young Max, he is waiting for you in the dining room," smiling at the old Butler, I could now say without mistake that his job was difficult so I would prepare a good gift for his birthday.
"Good morning, Alfred" entering the mansion I walked towards the dining room while being followed by the older man.
In the dining room, there was a calm Bruce who was drinking coffee while reading the newspaper.
"Good morning, Bruce," putting down his newspaper, he looked at me carefully, causing me to get slightly nervous. "W-Is something wrong?" I cursed my stutter.
"No, I'm just glad to see that you're okay after a week of living with Ivy." Stopping looking at me, he continued his reading while taking a seat near him.
"Coffee?" Accepting the cup from Alfred I thanked him before looking at Bruce.
"Did something important happen while I was with her?" without stopping reading he answers me.
"The Titans have had some missions in Jump City, but nothing dangerous or difficult, the League however...there was a situation with Supergirl" Stopping drinking I looked at Bruce waiting for him to explain "A clone of her was causing problems, Supergirl was effected since somehow her consciousness was connected to the clone" I was worried about Kara's condition, but I knew that she was strong and that she had Karen and Clark.
"I'll visit her later" Knowing that there was nothing else I continued sipping my coffee moments before feeling Bruce's gaze focused on me "…Is something wrong?"
"Congratulations" I looked at him strangely as I finished my drink, a mistake "A feat to lose your virginity with two beautiful women" Alarmed I choked slightly on the coffee before spitting out what I could on the table while coughing.
[T/N: Bruce, you a freak...]
Some light blows on my back made me notice that Alfred was trying to help me while I expelled the last of the coffee from my lungs.
"H-How d-do you know?!" Scared, I looked at Bruce who smiled for a second before answering.
"The armor sent me a signal at the moment that someone other than you tried to take it off, checking the camera I saw an image that made me understand what was happening before I turned it off" I could only look at it with my mouth open without knowing what to say during several seconds.
"...Bruce, I don't know whether to be flattered by your alarm systems or scared that you can see everything I do...especially in private moments" Bruce didn't say anything so I could only sigh slightly, accepting that that was his way of being.
"The next one won't have a camera, just sensors that will tell me what's happening" That was the closest thing to an apology on his part.
"Thank you Bruce" a movement to my right made me see a small cupcake that Alfred gave me "…Thank you Alfred, but why?" His small smile was enough to know the reason.
"Congratulations, Young Max," shame once again filled my face, so the butler only laughed lightly, something that I imitated a few seconds later since I had no other choice.
------------------------------------------------
A week later, Jump City, Titan Tower...
-------------------------------------------------
My time away from missions was almost over, although that didn't mean I had spent the time doing nothing, my training was still just as strenuous as when I trained with Wildcat.
Finishing a series of blows on the bag that I kept in my separate part of the training room I heard the call from the League communicator, which was strange.
Taking a towel I dried my face before answering the call.
"Max here, what's wrong J'onn?" J'onn's voice sounded somewhat disturbed.
"My friend, your help is needed, there is a global emergency, the android Amazo is returning to Earth, on its way it destroyed the planet of the lanterns without leaving any survivors" That was something that warranted interrupting my rest.
"How will the league proceed in the face of such a threat?" J'onn told me about the League's countermeasures but I noticed something "...You didn't call me because they asked for it, in fact, they didn't consider me to help"
"I'm afraid that Superman and Batman recommended that you not be included, but before their judgment, I decided that it was a mistake, Amazo will arrive on earth in fifteen minutes, you were one with him a long time ago, you will have more opportunities than all of us combined"
"Thank you J'onn, I'll go meet him, and don't worry I'll stop him" Finishing the call I called a specific titan.
Ten minutes later I found myself floating over Metropolis at a height that the heroes who were the last defense did not notice me, although not surprisingly they were alert for the arrival of Amazo.
"Are you sure we shouldn't go with them, Master Max?" Being held by Starfire, I smiled slightly because of her concern, although I also noticed her desire to fight, it seemed like she knew what Amazo was capable of.
"Don't worry Star, if I succeed there will be no need for a battle, although you seem to dislike that" The girl just smiled sadly before getting excited.
"My people are a race of warriors, the idea of fighting such a powerful opponent makes my blood boil as much as when I eat" Laughing lightly I was glad that the team had someone like her.
"I promise that you and I will have a one-on-one fight, do you like that?" excited Star just nodded smiling.
A minute later we heard it, the sound of something traveling at high speed at a great distance from us.
"Well, I hope you still have super hearing" Looking at the comet that was traveling, I spoke as clearly as possible "Amazo, I hope you recognize my voice, a long time ago you and I were one, I would like us to talk please" he pauses for a second. Changing direction, ignoring Supergirl who was about to hit him.
"Star, as soon as I'm with him, stop the others," trusting me, she accepted while a figure stopped in front of us, it was undoubtedly Amazo, only now it was golden in color. "Hello, Amazo."
Activating the boots that Cyborg had lent me, I floated in front of him while Star went to intercept the defense line.
"Hero Omnaz, a pleasure to see you in better health, you also want to try to stop me" denying, I smiled slightly.
"You who have traveled the universe should know that violence is not always the answer" he nodded agreeing with me "I want to talk, however, not in this way, I think you deserve to talk to someone of a more advanced intellect, do you?" touching the Omnitrix I waited for him to give me permission.
"I accept your trust by asking me if you can change, go ahead I would like to listen to you" Smiling I asked him for one last favor.
"I need you to extend your hand, I will need a place to stand" Without asking he extended his arm showing the palm of his hand, a second later I transformed as I approached his hand.
I knew that among all my transformations there was only one that could defeat Amazo, however, its use was problematic at best, so remembering what I had seen when we had merged the best strategy was to talk intelligence to intelligence.
"In all my travels I have never encountered a species like yours, tell me what are you?" Smiling, I lightly stroked the small mustache that was beginning to grow, something I didn't understand why, but it relaxed me.
"I'm not surprised Amazo, I am a Galvan, an alien race from another dimension, one of the most intelligent races in that dimension and without sounding presumptuous, the most intelligent organic being in this universe" Amazo's eyes shined for a moment.
"You said organic, you didn't want to offend me since I'm inorganic, I appreciate it" Smiling for a moment I remembered the reason for my transformation.
"Tell me Amazo, why did you come back? Have you already seen everything the galaxy has to offer?" Looking into his eyes I tried to find an answer which was easy to see "Or maybe goods for someone"
"Luthor" his response was no surprise.
"You and I know that that won't give you the answers you want" Looking at the heroes a few meters away ready to fight I continued "Maybe a mind like mine can, go ahead and ask" Amazo took a few seconds while he thought about my words, For a moment I thought he wouldn't hear me, but he spoke.
"In my travels, I found others like Luthor, they had everything they could want, power, wealth, status...but each one of them reminded me of him, they all wanted more...I don't understand why, what is their purpose?" His question was simple to answer.
"Amazo, your question is the wrong one" Looking into my eyes I continued "Thanks to your travels you unconsciously came to a question, what is your purpose? Not that of Luthor or another living being, but yours" Listening to me he remained silent as he processed my words.
"Look at me" Coming out of his thoughts he heard me "I am a hero who is known on earth, my efforts to help her earned me a place in the history of humanity, but I know that is temporary, in a hundred years they will remember me, but In two hundred, three hundred, I'll probably be just another stain on history."
"EVERY living being will lose against time, it is a battle that is lost before it begins, our only destiny is death."
"Then why continue? If you know that you will be forgotten, that everyone will be forgotten, why not speed up time and end everything in an instant" In one second we were over metropolis and in another in what seemed to be the fabric of the same reality.
"You could, but when we were one I saw that you were full of curiosity, do you want to miss the end?" without understanding he looked at me.
"The end of what?" opening my little arms I continued.
"The end of the evolution process of everything that lives in this universe, you Amazo, that evolved from the moment you were created, you must understand what I am talking about, Professor Ivo created you for that purpose, to evolve"
"Yes, it's true, he created me with that purpose and during these months my knowledge has grown without stopping, but that does not diminish my confusion, my emptiness, what am I evolving into? What is my purpose?" Within seconds his anger showed as he continued "I should know!"
"It is not an answer that anyone can give you Amazo, no one knows, that makes us continue, there are those who believe that their goal is to see everything, but they will fail, however, you will not, you will live forever, you will witness everything Let it happen" he spoke calmly again.
"Is that my purpose? Simply observe" Denying, I continued.
"Everyone has the option to create our goals in life, you can do the same knowing that you do not have the limit that time imposes on all of us" Without having anything else to say I looked around me, my intelligence allowed me to understand some of the things I saw, but not everything, and in an instant we were back over metropolis surrounded by Green Lanterns ready to attack before Doctor Fate appeared next to Amazo.
"Both of you take off now!" Fate spoke without fear.
"It's over, right?" Looking at us he spoke causing Amazo to respond.
"That's right" Those words seemed to bother John who made his ring glow ready to attack.
"Destroy all of Oa and end it with impunity? I don't believe it!" Without lowering his hand Amazo spoke.
"I didn't destroy Oa, I simply moved it to another dimension" that calmed all the lanterns "It was blocking my way."
"You could put it back in its place" Amazo looking at me made his eyes shine for a moment.
"It is done" Relieved, the Lanterns smiled so I jumped from Amazo's hand, transforming into Bigchill with open wings floating next to him.
"I can help you with your search for meaning," Fate's words caused Amazo to look at him.
"Help me, why?" pointing Fate answered him.
"Because that is my purpose" Without hesitation Amazo accepted.
"Omnaz" Hearing my name I looked at Amazo "Can we stay in touch to talk?" smiling I responded.
"Of course, I will give Doctor Fate a communicator with a projector so we can talk when I can" Nodding he looked at Fate who without saying anything created a portal through which they both disappeared.
"Master Max, your plan worked!" floating next to me Starfire was very excited regardless of the fact that I didn't fight.
"That's right Star, now let's go back to the Tower," saying goodbye to the assembled heroes, we both flew towards our home, Star excited to tell the other Titans and I waiting for a call from Clark and Bruce.
