Chapter 46 Mental slump
I slapped her awake and healed her enough so she stopped bleeding. “I asked what you’re willing to do to keep this necklace? If you don’t answer in three seconds I’m gone.” She looked at me like I was the most evil villain. “Bitch you just tried to kill me twice in a few seconds. The only reason you’re not dead is because you’re pretty.”
I give her another few seconds to respond before I get up and walk out. She calls as I reach the door. “Wait! Wait... I messed up. You guys are known for being chaotic and villainous.” I look at her like she’s stupid. “Yeah, except the three in the Justice League and the four who are unaffiliated heroes. Most of the more evil 100 were killed already and I told you I was here to help.”
She looked at me as if asking if I was being serious. “Three separate members showed up to try and fuck a single girl. You are clearly here to do the same with me and I wasn’t sure you’d take no for an answer. You even threatened to take my necklace away if I didn’t fuck you.” I’m taken aback by what she said. I hadn’t really seen it from a female's perspective. I was doing exactly what those idiots were doing.
I took the necklace out of my pocket and tossed it to her before remembering. “Most of the strongest creatures you can take after are bugs. At least in the comics anyways, not sure if that’s a thing in this world. Have a nice life and I hope to never run into you again.”
I leave and walk away. I really needed a palate cleanser after that terrible meeting. I teleported to the top of a mountain I specifically flew to from one of the justice league boom tube gates. Its scenic view would be perfect for romantic situations but I just sat back and watched the sunset. God I really wanted to drink. I quit more than a decade ago though, I know those feelings will pass.
For some reason I didn’t take the necklace. I don’t think that Vixen had plot armor but the necklace could choose its wielder to some extent. As I sat and watched the sunset I grew back my elbow. It was more painful than I thought it would be. I take in several deep breaths and with each long exhalation I let my emotions go.
Yes I misunderstood the situation but she tried to kill me twice and said I was a rapist because of a group I was attached to. An ass kicking is the least I could have done to her. I was burning the candle at both ends and was tired. I decided I was moving too quickly and I shouldn’t just assume everyone would want my help just because I know about them and their enemies.
It really didn’t make sense in my head but some people are just stupid. I could practically hand her the ability to kill her uncle and she would rather fight. Not every woman is going to want to fuck me even though by doing so their lives would get tremendously better. I mentally checked her off my list of women I’d maybe want to have sex with regularly. I teleported home and just spent the rest of the day in bed. The next day I made a few things but didn’t do much experimenting.
The day after that was the same. Same after that and same after that. I didn’t realize I was in a mental slump until my arm was fully healed. That day Steph pulled me out of bed and me, her and Cass all went on a date together. We portaled to California and just walked along the beach holding each other's hands as the waves washed over our feet.
They must have talked it out that it was fine they were both dating the same person. Honestly they were great friends and I was jealous I didn’t have something like that in this world. I knew both had each other's back no matter what. We bought shaved ice and ate it as I looked at the girls side by side.
Both were in bikinis. Steph wore a blue and white patterned set while Cass was wearing a black set. Steph fed Cass some of hers and it was hard not to smile at their closeness. We finished up then Steph wanted to visit the place in Paris again and show Cass. I teleported us to the top of the Eiffel tower to watch the sunset. Me and Steph were still collecting the final bit of chi to form our third circle and core.
The biggest problem when forming both is it was a race against time. You need to have enough chi/mana built up to be able to do both and the longer it takes the higher chance of risking the gas chi turning into liquid. That would make it impossible to form anything else involving the first form.
Theoretically it was possible to have higher than nine circles but that was getting into godhood at that point and it would take thousands of years and fundamentally changing your body to be possible. You could alter yourself into pure chi/mana but that came with its own set of problems.-
I’m taken from my thoughts as Steph turned my face towards hers and gave me a long passionate kiss. As I pulled away it was hard to not have a big dopey smile on my face. Until Cass turned me towards her and did the same. The smile turned into happiness as I held both their hands and finished watching the sunset.
We got home and it was still daylight outside as we did so. Portalling often came with that time shock. As we stepped through both their pagers went off. I smirked as they called their outfits to themselves and were about to head off before I stopped them. “Hey, you think I can make my hero debut with you guys today?”
“Oh?” Steph asked as she cocked her head to the side. “You figure out a name then?”
I smirked at her as I changed into my new robes, hat, mask and cloak. “Sure did. You can call me… Plague Doctor.” (Did I steal a villains name? Nope, he doesn't exist in this world yet so he'll be stealing my name if I let his origin story happen.)
