CALLEA kept on gazing on her antique Victorian watch. She had an appointment at one in the afternoon with Pipay, her designer. She was the one who creates her cosplay dresses whenever she writes. Pipay was a dear friend since high school when she used to defend him from those who bully her for being gay.

He was Philip then and Pipay now. It was Pipay who helps her hone her story and characters more. Sometimes she just creates dresses and that's where she based her stories. There's so much idea they could come up with simply designing dresses.

The dresses Pipay creates were based on her story and vice versa. The dresses were created for her characters alone. And because her graphic novels were popular, her fans had fun wearing them and cosplaying. Because she recognized Pipay as her costume designer, her fans go to her for costumes and she got a cut or royalty from her sales. They helped each other's businesses.

"It is already two and she isn't here yet. She said she's already in Calamba. What if there's something wrong?"

She took the extension phone beside the bed and called Pipay's cellphone. Her cellphone rang two times before she answered it in a sing-song voice. "Hello, Callea, dearest. It is nice to hear from you."

"Pipay, where are you? I want to see your new concepts." She wanted to see her new sketches for her story. She needs new concepts because she's about to finish her current story.

"What? I am on my way back to Manila."

"From where?"

"At Villa Celesta."

"How did that happen? I gave specific instructions to Marina to inform me once you arrive. I am just here in my room. Is there a problem that's why you are leaving right away?" I asked in a worried voice.

"Your boyfriend told me that he prefers new designs."

"M-MY boyfriend?"

"Yes. Your hottie boyfriend, Deive. I had a chat with him a while ago. He is so handsome."

"And he told you that I want new designs?"

"Hmmm… he said that light and happy colors would look better on you. Pastel colors maybe. Not to loud but pleasing to the eyes just the same. The dark colors are starting to get old. Well, he has a point. I thought maybe you want a new genre for your new stories or new colors with this new development in your life."

"I never thought of changing my genre or to change my fashion preference to lighter colors. And why would Deive say that? And you took his suggestions seriously when we were the one doing business here?" I growled at my friend. I never raised a voice on her the whole time they have known each other but it was frustrating. "You didn't bother to ask me first?"

"Well, I thought you want to change genre because you are in love. You know life is more colorful now that you have a gorgeous man to marry."

Her blood boiled. What does Deive care about what she wants to wear? Her body, her rules. It was clear to him what her job was and the inspiration she could get from her costumes. She thrived on it.

And besides, she was not in love with him. "You know, he has no business when it comes to my costume and job. Come back here. I want to see the sketches."

"Oh no, dearie. I don't want Deive to get mad at me. I promised him that I will create new designs for you. That I will create something fab for you. See you next time."

Great. He already enamored her house helps. Now, even her designer follows his every command as if he hypnotized her. Well, when it comes to friendship versus a gorgeous man, Pipay would forget their friendship and open his arms for the handsome man. In her next story, she would make sure that Pipay will be his character and have ten sexy women terrorize him.

"Do you want me to bash your head with Deive's? I am your friend. We are partners. This is our job. Why did you allow Deive to dictate the flow of our work? This is just between you and me, Pipay!"

"But he is sooo handsome. I lost my mind, Callea. I became a slave to his desires. All I can say was "Yes, Master". Don't tell me he doesn't have that same effect on you? You would do everything he wants with a simple command."

Callea let our a curse. Her friend really lost her mind. Well, could she really blame her friend? She also lost her mind with him last night and let him kiss her. But her job was another thing she won't allow Deive to touch.

"So, you will choose Deive than me? Do you want to end our friendship?" Callea asked in a deadly tone. "Do you want me to choose another designer?"

"No! How could you say that? Look, maybe Deive wants to have you for himself. I think he is suspicious of me since I am still handsome…"

"Excuses, excuses, Pipay. Chicks before dicks."

"But I like dicks, Callea. Have you tried this dick," he argued.

"Shut up!"

"Okay, virgin bride. I understand the frustation. You haven't tried him yet. Look, I will go back some other time. Who knows, you might like the new dresses that I will bring. Let me surprise you."

Callea groaned in frustration. How could her friend betray him like this? It was not so funny. She must talk to Deive soon.

She lifted the hem of her yukata or summer kimono that geishas and courtensans of Japan used. There was a commotion upstairs. Then she realized that Deive was cleaning up the attic. She walked faster to reach the attic and took the smaller steps two at a time. She had a bad feeling about this. If he was trying to change the designs of her clothes, then how much more could he do to her attic?

"Señorito, please don't do it," Callea heard Marina beg as she stepped near the door of the attic. "Señorita will get mad."

"No! I can't stand it anymore."

Callea's heart beats double. What's happening at the attic? She pushed the door open with all her might. And she saw Deive and Marina fighting over a broomstick with a long handle. "What's going on here?" Callea asked with hands on her hips.

"Señorita, he wants the bats to leave," Marina reported. "You should talk to him so he will see sense." And Marina left them.

"They should go. Aside from Batman and Dracula is there any house that allows bats to thrive? No wonder your mansion looks like a haunted house because you let those bats breed here." Deive raised the broomstick to the ceiling of the attic where the bats set camp. "They don't belong here."

She stopped Deive's arm. "Those bats are my friends! Don't hurt them."

Those bats inspired her with her stories. They enhanced her creative mind. If Deive bothered them, where would they live? Other humans might hurt them. She didn't have the heart to make her friends leave.

He looked at her with a stunned look on his face. "Are you dreaming to become Batgirl. Do you want to turn your mansion into a Bat Cave? What if you got sick because of them. What if they bite you and drink your blood while you sleep? How could you live with this kind of creatures in your house?"

"Now look who has a wild imagination." She flicked her finger to his forehead. "They are already residents of this house even before you came. What gave you the right to shoo them away?"

"If I will live here at Villa Celesta, I have the right to whatever happens to this house. As long as those bats are here, I would be scared to live here."

"Ah! So you thought you have the right, the same way that you have the right to tell my designer on what kind of dress I should wear," she asked with sharp eyes.

"Oh, that!" He let out a light laugh. His face twitched with guilt. "There was nothing new with the dress that Pipay brings. I've seen those before. It's all dark and gloomy. So boring."

"Well, you are not the one who will wear them but me. And those bats, this scary haunted house and the boring dress that I love wearing are the reason why I have a job and I earn money. We are not yet married but you are already trying to rule my life. This is not what I signed up for."

"I am just helping you out. Do you always have to be on character? Do you always have to look gloomy and scary in every minute of your life? Callea, there's a time for your work and for your eccentricities. If we will get married, will you look like that when you face my friends or my business colleagues? My grandfather doesn't even know this weird side of you."

She lifted her face and bravely looked him in the eye. "It was your idea to push through with the wedding. I am thankful for that. But changing myself for your own satisfaction is not part of the deal. After all, I won't even try to change you or your lifestyle or your personality."

"Do you really want to look weird forever?"

She nodded. "Yes."

"You will choose those ugly bats over me, the man you will marry?"

She pursed her lips.. "I think you can co-exist. Don't get in my way, Deive. I will marry you, yes. But I don't care much about your friends or your colleagues. I could pretend for a while, sure. I will think of it as cosplay if I have to face them. But it doesn't mean I have to change my life because you commanded it."

"And if I insist?"

The corner of her lips kicked up. "Then let's see who will win."

She left the attic with her head held high. If Deive thought that she was like other people who would follow his every whim, he got another think coming. She was the queen of Villa Celesta. It was her territory. Her house, her rules. Deive should know his face. He doesn't own her.

She thought her problem is solved because she already had an agreement with Deive and they would have a marriage that would be dissolved later on. She was dead wrong. It seemed like she picked up a huge rock and bashed her head with it.

Lines were drawn. Deive must know his place.

An arranged marriage to a perfect bride.

To keep him in line, playboy Deive Hontiveros needs to marry Callea Lopez so he could start his own business. He thought he got lucky when he sees how beautiful and caring Callea is.

She lives in a haunted mansion though and he got plagued by a mysterious ghost of a woman and her cat from hell.

He must protect his bride at all cost. 

But what if Callea is one with the darkness?

Hero Points: 3,000 hero points  

Alejandro: "System why is there a slash on some of the powers"

[Host please understand that the reason for the / in powers is because they are under the same or similar skills. For example, telepathy is an umbrella term for any ability in regards to projecting, reading and manipulating thoughts. So even though you do have the ability to read the thoughts of others and transmit your thoughts to others you also can manipulate the of thoughts keep in mind host the is the basic idea of telepathy it can evolve to do far more than just that hence mind control and more.]

Alejandro understood precisely what the system meant due to his increase in intelligence raising to 3.0 and his understanding of the recent powers he obtained due to his original ability Enhanced Ability Learning. He simply asked because he wanted to know what the system reasoning for categorizing the powers the way it did. Nodding his head he began communicating with his bioship and directed it towards earth activating camouflage mode. Alejandro establishes his ship programming for male. During his time spent on his ship, He learned that the ship will accommodate whoever is inside of the ship by shifting the surroundings such as furniture, keyboards made of hard light constructs which included screens, belts and so on. Its application was limitless. It could even covert the outside of itself to blend into its environment like a car, SUV, truck, etc.

The bio-ship flew threw space until it arrived at earth exosphere and halted as it remained in camouflaged mode. Alejandro ensured that the ship could rest in resting egg shape or be active in its active shape whenever it felt like but remained in camouflaged mode regardless of the state of dormancy or activeness. He could always activate or communicate with the ship with a mere thought. Alejandro changed his body to adjust to being able to breathe in space and change as it descended into the earth so his lungs don't implode or react negatively as his body readjusts to a gradual increase in oxygen. The ship opened the floor beneath his feet and he flew down turning his invisible towards his home.

Alejandro arrived at his home while hovering above the roof. He used density Shifting to enter his room and was still invisible. Noticing nobody was there he phased back to regular density and became visible. He relaxed on his bed with nobody else's thoughts in his head but his own. He uses an image in his mind to control his ability. This visual consists a tv, laptop, radio, or even a stream of data. He can control these with either a remote or a wave of his hand. Imagination is weird that way but he can change those visual as he sees fits like looking into an empty lake as a focal point to hear one person thoughts. The visual and its application in his mind are endless in terms of telepathy. 

[Biotech watchtower established in the earth exosphere]

*knock, knock, knock* as the door startled Alejandro he was wondering why does it sound like a panic type of knock he decided to reply a bit annoyed. 

Alejandro: "mande?"

Bianca: "Mijo there are freaks in costume at the door. They walked in the house and they are asking for you. What did you do! are you doing drogas? Are you in a gang?"

Bianca busts the door open holding a chancla in one hand and beats Alejandro. [Host gained pain resistance and physical endurance]  she was dragging Aleandro out of his room wondering what the hell is going on after she was done beating him and brought him to the people she called freaks in costumes. Aleandro only saw Batman in the living room and was petrified the man had stares as if he could see into the depth of your soul and make you feel cold. 

Bianca: "Now why are you freaks in costume here for my son!"

Batman not even phased just simply said "Im here for both your sons but seeing how Jamie isn't here I will have to settle for Alejandro this is justice league business."

Bianca: " Justice WHAT! listen here! I do not care what kind of business you need my sons for you are not getting through to me."

Alejandro: "Mom why do you keep saying freaks in costume there only one person in customer here that is batman mom. THE BATMAN he a HERO!"

Bianca: "Mijo I will beat both you and batman with the chancla 
Mírame"

Batman:.....

Seeing that this was getting nowhere batman shoots Bianca mom with a tranq dart that also wipes her the memory of the event. Alejandro was scared for not only his life but batman's life as well if his mom ever wakes up again. He looked at batman and batman looked at him back and he said "she will not remember this at all. If she ever does recall this event she will get over it" Alejandro was lost in thought thinking BATMAN IS A BOSS! Batman grabbed Alejandro and put him in the batmobile. As they drove to all the way to Gotham.

A hard-working family man in his 30s stuck in an endless repetition of living in a mundane world. The only joy that made him happy is his wife, kids, and DC comics. Unfortunately, He was murdered because someone who was wearing a MAGA hat saw him and his family speaking in sign language and mistaken their method of communication for gang signs. 

Because of that, he called his friends as he tailed the deaf family before they could even get home and confronted them with his buddies screaming "stupid wetbacks how dare you! you guys come here to my country America and steal our jobs! MS13 does not belong here!" BANG BANG BANG BANG! 

The Man dying and his the rest of his family dead, while attempting to defend them and fight back their only crime, was being deaf and mixed with Mexican, Puerto Rican, and El Salvadorian.  In his dying breath as he held his family one last time thinking GOD I wish I had superpowers so nobody family could go through what we went through.  GASP fade to black.  

A mysterious being spoke "I heard your prayers yet I cannot send you back to your world I will reincarnate you to DC Universe" A voice thundered from the being and a flash of light surrounded the man's soul before it faded to nothingness.

"I don't want to attend that fan meeting! I don't want to join the Marvel exhibition! I don't want to participate in the film's promotion! The film is a product of the Hollywood assembly line. My presence won't affect anything. I just want to go home!"
 "I have read your email, Qin Guan, but you need to stay in America until you finish your job! My expected date of delivery is around next February. You are of no help at home right now. Plus, we call each other every day. There is no difference. Okay, I'm busy. I have to go now. Bye!" Qin Guan felt like he had been abandoned in a foreign country. He could only fall asleep by holding Cong Nianwei's photos in his arms. As a father-to-be, he was obsessed with his wife and new baby. Even the bustling American downtown couldn't fill the void in his heart.
 He had been invited to attend the largest comic exhibition in the US as a way to promote "The Dark Knight". Warner Bros. had invested a lot in the movie, with the intention of creating another superhero legend that would make box office history.
 This was the first time Qin Guan was seeing so many characters from American cartoons. Unlike the elegant, fine cartoons in Japan, American comic characters were tougher and more realistic. People had gathered in the exhibition hall from all corners of the nation, wearing all kinds of costumes.
 The average American loved superheroes. One could see DC and Marvel superheroes side by side, staring at each other with hostility.
 There was Iron Man, Spiderman, The Hulk, Batman... Qin Guan was the only guy not wearing a costume or any makeup.
 As a result, he attracted more attention than the others. I should have at least dressed up as a Doraemon. I look really odd now!
 Some people, who had gone there specifically for him, spotted Qin Guan immediately. The girls, who had seen Qin Guan in the film's poster, thought that he was most likely the most handsome villain in film history.
 It was interesting how many humans liked villains. The Batman exhibition was occupied by those girls, who were wearing different costumes and makeup. Their long legs shocked the other introverts in attendance.
The girls rushed over to Qin Guan, screaming, "My love! My Joker! Please take me away! I'll be your slave forever!" Aren't beautiful girls supposed to love superheroes? Costume stores had welcomed plenty of customers that day. As a result, villain costumes had been almost sold out.


Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

One quarter hour before

The smile of the Joker then start to look more sinister "He He He. Darling, Darling, Darling. You don't know? Apart from the kind service we received, that's because it much more easier to escape of course"
Hearing that, Mallory suddenly felt like something was wrong, so she wanted to call for Batman but

BOOM!

a sound of an explosion suddenly resound in the hallway. "What's happening upstairs?" cried Mallory surprised by the noise. She then noticed Batman pulling out his grappling gun as he ran to the exit door. More worried by the words pronounced by the Joker and reassuring herself that he could handle it by himself, Mallory reported her attention on the other. 
"So, what was you trying to say by much easier to escape? Preparing a breakthrough from the asylum? Not happening under my watch Joker. Hear me?"

But like the destiny wanted to mock upon her, a snort suddenly resound from the wall leading to sewers behind, getting her attention. As she was turning her head to the wall, a transparent door like a ghost appeared in front of and pass through her without making any harm to her.
Reacting quickly, Mallory jumped Next to the range of that door who already vanished like it didn't exist, but next second after, the door of Joker was opened violently and mysteriously traced the exact same path with the exact same speed of the previous ghost door.
Seeing that Mallory was totally unharmed, the Joker chuckled and said "I never understood how you always seem to be able to guess what I will do to you. Question is, did we know each other before the chemical facility? That would explain why you know me so well hehe"
Mallory took one of her blowpipe from her back and and shoot a dart from it to the recently free Joker "You wish!"
But the dart was stopped by the pillow Joker was holding in his hand. "You miss darling!" said mockingly Joker as he was rushing to her. Not afraid of confronting him, Mallory took a fighting stance and at the same time her second blowpipe to use them as stick. CRACK CRACK CRACK
The wall near her suddenly started to Cracked all over. But then it's stopped when a voice was suddenly heard behind it
"Hey are you even sure this is the right wall?"
"Solomon Grundy know all the sewers" replied a heavy voice "Great than blow that wall for us, would you?" 
Following that, a silence cover the place for a few second before BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM! 
The wall was blowing up. Rubble started to flew inside the asylum and nearly touched Mallory who was seven meter away from the walls. In fact, the rubble was going to hit her, but before it could do so, Mallory start to see the ghost image of them like earlier with door and just avoid the path were they landed. 
For the Joker, it only seems that she took three steps aside randomly and when the rubble landed she just happened to miraculously be in the only place were no rocks land. 
When Mallory gaze on the newly create entrance, her body tensen up and eyes became more sharper. Behind the hole, 5 people start to slowly walk inside. 
The first one was a big man int the 2 meter tall with grey skin. Looking like a zombie out of a Frank Einstein movie. The second one was a slender and voluptuous woman dress in green tight suit and surrounded by many vines and plants. The two next people who came out were at the same size of Mallory who was 1.50 meter tall. One of them was dressed in a green costume with a big Hat in the head, while the other was less humanoid and look like a heap of clay with two eyes and a mouth. The last one, was too in a green costume and a hat, but he was much more taller and his costume had question mark all over. Besides he was holding a cane with a question mark on the top. 

"Oh am I seeing things? Isn't that the little ninja who follow Batman sometimes? What are you doing here cutie?" Said Poison Ivy while searching for something. Noticing her behaviour Joker intervened while pouting "Don't bother looking everywhere, Batty went upstairs to play with others. He don't even consider us" hearing that, the face of all the vilains clear up and Poison Ivy did a sign to Joker to come over and said to the Riddler "Free the others"  and immediately return from where she went. 
Not wanting to let them go, Mallory shoot seven darts in a row to them aiming for riddler and the other. But sadly only one hit the mark knocking out a Mad Hatter unprepared, the others were all deflected by Poison Ivy's vines. 
Seeing that, Mallory prepare to engage the enemy face to face, but before she could do anything, a sound of alarm resound in the hallway and a second after all the room were opened.
"You gotta be f**king kidding me here" muttered Mallory remorseful as she thinking that she should have followed Batman instead of staying here.
Don't be wrong, Mallory love fighting, but when she saw the thirty and plus crazy inmates going out of cells, knowing that the level - 2 was were the most madmen and dangerous people were here she started to have a headache. But this was only the beginning.

______________________________________________


Back to the present

Batman and Mallory were now putting the sleeping patients back to their room. While doing so, Batman suddenly noticed that in one of them a man was already inside and awake. Seeing that, Batman deduced that he didn't even bother to try to escape.

"Why didn't you try to escape Alberto?" asked a curious Batman. "Why should I?" replied Alberto "They plan put an end to a Holiday, why should I help them doing it?" what he said make sense, but being the only one who could lead him to Holiday batman keeps asking questions.
"Who is the second Holiday?" he asked with threatening tone but Alberto just replied calmly "Wrong question Batman. What you should ask is why did that person become Holiday? I become Holiday because nobody, not even my parents could remember my birthday, but what about that person? Even I don't know it but that would explain many things" said mysteriously Alberto making Batman think more intensely before asking again "Then who is the next victim?"  this time Alberto sigh heavily and shook his head "Still wrong question Batman. I'm not that Holiday, how should I know? But if you really want information about Holiday, I know someone. Tony Zucco, the Mafioso under Maroni. It was him who introduced me to the True Holiday so that I can become a Holiday too"
"What? There is more Holiday except for you two?" Asked Batman frowning. "Well, there's not just one holiday in the calendar, so why should we be the only Holiday? Anyway, don't bother asking me who is the True Holiday because I never met him in person, but Tony Zucco may know him."
"And were do I find Zucco?" asked Batman
"I don't know, but normally he had a business tomorrow with C.C Haly the guy who managed  the Haly's Circus. I know that because I was supposed to come with him so I could finally met the True Holiday" hearing that, Batman couldn't help but asked "Then why didn't you escape to do it?" "Because, Batman my Holiday is finish" replied mysteriously Alberto.


An hour later, on the road inside the Batmobile, the atmosphere was heavy.
"So, we're not fighting against one or two Holiday, but as many holidays there's in the calendar?" Resume Mallory sighing, before suddenly laughing "I'm glad that they didn't take the calendar of India or Colombia as reference. Or else, their would've been a never ending amount of Holiday. Imagine, 18 people like Alberto...." thinking of that, she start to shook her head as a headache was coming. "But still, what a coincidence that I've happened to plan with auntie to go tomorrow in the Haly's Circus because my friend will perform for the first time" "Yes what a coincidence. But like that, I'm sure that you will not be able to mess up with the mission" said Batman with smile. That sentence cause Mallory to pout "I already told you that it wasn't my fault! How should I know that they plans to made everyone escape?" said Mallory refusing to take the blame cause the smile of Batman to grow wider. "Well, wherever they are now, we wouldn't be able to found them for the moment. Dawn is coming soon, so I'll take you home and take the time to call your friend Grayson to ask him for two tickets for tonight"
"What?? The great Bruce Wayne don't have the money to afford two place in a circus?" Said Mallory teasingly. "Of course I do" replied Batman "Bruce to keep being rich, you have to keep your money by your side right?" "Stingy" said Mallory by pulling her tongue.


At the same time, in Haley's Circus. A young boy in his 12 who just wake up, was now wandering around in the Caravans in the circus. Because he was excited that today he will finally make his first entry in the show, Dick Gayson couldn't sleep well. Having nothing better to do, he start jumping from caravan to caravan without making a noise so he'll no wake up the others.
Even though it was the night, but everybody knows that in Gotham, night was when the city was really active and no sound in the night doesn't meant that there was no one.
As he was keep jumping around, he suddenly heard some noise coming from C.C Haly, the director of the circus.

Curious, Dick went to see what was happening. As he was getting close, he start to hear furious voices coming from the caravan
"Haly, think very carefully about it. All I ask, is to you to keep a dozen of box, until you get out of the city. You will even be paid for that, so why do you refusing my offer?" said the angry voice. 
"...Bu..But I don't want to involve my employees with that "replied the trembling voice of Haly. Following that, a sigh was heard before "Haley, you concidere everyone here like your own family hun? And if remember correctly, the Flying Grayson are the main star of your circus right?" "Y..Yes..." replied Haley. They do something really dangerous as job, not surprising that they are so loved by spectators. I even heard that they child will perform today" Said the man with low tone in voice before saying coldly "A dangerous job like that, for a hole family. What will very tragic if they happen to have an accident"

After saying that, the man went away with a "I will come back tonight, think about it a little" as threat planing above Haley head.

______________________________________________


"Sweetheart? Are you ready? We will be late you know? It's not like you will going on a date with him you know" Marisa Troswer said from the Ground floor complaining with a smile. Thirty seconds later, the sound of someone coming downstairs was heard, and Mallory Made his Made her entrance in an Elegant black tie dress with evening shoes and gloves. If Marisa didn't know were they were going, she would think that Mallory was going Into some Gala. But what made her laugh, was what Mallory said when she came to her side "It took me some time, only and said only, because I didn't have anything else to wear. I was looking for a better dress, but I couldn't find anything that wouldn't put Dick in shame for his first show so I had worn that poor dress. And I already told you, I don't like him! His just a friend!" said Mallory with disdain 
"Sure, sure, sweetheart. That why you're wearing a dress of more than fifteen million dollars for just a show in a circus" Yes Marisa while trying hard to not laugh. "Yes, exactly. I should really had to prepare a more fine dress for the occasion that one is to awful, but what can I do? Now Let's hurry up, uncle Bruce is waiting for us that girl Selina" she said as run to the front door while her mother could but muttered with a smile as she shake her head "Youngsters of today..."

Haly's Circus

When Marisa and Co finally reach the Circus, the show being in an hour the spectators were not many at this time.
As soon as the car stopped, Mallory exited with a rush causing Selina Kyle to ask "Why is little monkey that excited for a circus show? It's her favourite thing?"
That question made both Bruce and Marisa to laugh loud making Selina puzzled "Well, you could say that, if you concidere some enchanting eyes like a part of the show" Said Marisa mischievously "Oh, so it's a boy?" Said Selina with a smile understanding immediately "No wonder". She didn't said it loud, but Mallory did heard her, and even though she start to blush, she still act like she didn't hear them walk straight to the circus in a rapid pace.

When they reach the entry desk, a boy with brown hair and blue eyes with a cute face was waiting for them. When noticed them, he was going to met them, but stopped his track when his eyes was attracted by Mallory.
Whe she that, Mallory panicked and start to explain herself "I know that it's ugly and I should have probably wore something more beautiful because it your first time but I couldn't find something worthy in time. I'm sorry" when Dick heard her apologies, he hurriedly stopped her "No, no your dress is fine and your truly beautiful, that why I was so stunned. Don't worry you look very good" Hearing the compliment, Mallory start to smile foolishly, causing the three adults behind to chuckled.
When enter in the circus, Dick propose to them to do a little tour before the show start and Bruce more than anyone agreed eagerly pretending that not doing anything for hour will make him die. During the ride, Dick almost never keep his away from Mallory for more than five minutes. 
On the way, at many times, he had the feeling that they were being followed, but every time he turn his head, they were nobody behind.

When they finally finished the visit, Dick was accompanied them to the spectators place when Bruce suddenly spotted someone turning on the corner to join the staff members private area. When Bruce saw him, he's eyes wider and a thought immediately cross his mind before rejecting it instantly 'It can't be him, he's not even in America.but this feeling...'

When Dick left them, he immediately run to his Lodge to prepare himself. Half away through it, he came across the same man from this morning with C.C Haley talking this time with another man
"He refused again, so do the job but do it properly, leave no trace" said the man of the morning "But the ropes were exchanges, I saw a kid do that and even when I did it again, he exchanged it again saying that this one too wasn't great. After that I didn't have any room left to do it again" start to explain the other man with an apologic tone "I don't care of how you do it, I have reserved a place for the show so I want that to be a great show" said the man with a sadic smile on his face but when he looked away, he noticed Dick who already stop he's track to listen to him. "Hey brat! Get away!" he shout to him.
Dick start frowning but still did as he was told and went to his lodge. As he start to change himself, he couldn't help but keep thinking of what heard earlier. The more he thought about it, the more he start to feel uneasy. As he opened his door to exit absentmindedly he was suddenly woke up by the sound of the door hurting something "Aouch!"
Realising that he hurt someone, Dick rushed out to met a handsome boy in the same age with long brown wavy hair and a bump on the forehead "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't know that there was someone behind" apologies Dick. "No, no it's ok. Rather it's my fault for daydreaming like that" said the  young man with a stunning SMILE "Oh right, good timing, can you help me? I was looking for the toilet for an hour, but now is the time for the show to start but can't find my way out" said the boy scratching his head making Dick laugh. He then start to explain how to rejoin the spectator area the boy.
 "Oh thank you Dick" said the boy stunning Dick "How do you know my name?" He asked with suspicion "Oh that? Well, you know someone in my family, and she told me about you and the fact that you will have you first show today. Even though at first I didn't want to come, but when think about it a little how can I not? And Especially now that I met you. I can say witho a doubt that you will do great things Boy wonder" as he said that, he raised his hand and went away. 'someone in his family? Could it be Mallory? But she never told me that she have a brother. Maybe he's her cousin' Thought Dick before walking to the stage.

Jonathan Kent had finished his chores and was on his way home, in his satchel was a bag that read grow. Placing his bike outside the barn he entered the house. Out in the distance an invisible plane landed on a field of grass and out stepped wonder woman carrying a wild boar at the same time batman glided out his jet. 

Jonathan took a set inside the kitchen and started having a discussion about his time out at the market, Lois asked him "did you use your powers?" and to which he said "no mom, I was very careful and nobody followed me." Placing his shoes to the side he turned to her and said "I would have gotten all my chores done quicker if I had been able to…" Bruce now wore a suit above his batman uniform and Diana changed to black long squirt with an orange top that showed her shoulders. 

Lois cut him off "it's not about getting it done quickly, Jon. Besides you know how your father worries." The doorbell rings and Jon runs out the kitchen to get it. "This isn't me Diana. I don't do this kind of thing. And you brought a Boar?" Bruce and Diana continued their conversation when Jon reached the door 'Dad said I should only use my powers to keep us safe. I'm sure he'd be okay if I took a little peek.' 

Activating his x-ray vision; Jon jumped backed in shock at the sight of Bruce's batman costume looking down he say the skull of the boar beside Diana and jumped back in shock. At the same time superman was climbing out of secret hatch in the barn and put on a dress shirt along with blue jeans over his suit. 

Activating his x-ray vision; Jon jumped backed in shock at the sight of Bruce's batman costume looking down he say the skull of the boar beside Diana and jumped back in shock. At the same time superman was climbing out of secret hatch in the barn and put on a dress shirt along with blue jeans over his suit. 

Stepping out of the barn Clark saw Jonathan's heat vision send Bruce flying, Diana raised her arm brace to block it but she too was sent skidding across the yard. "DAD, I swear it was an accident!" yelled Jon "I was trying to see through the door when…"  Clark cut him off in worry "Jon, are you ok? Diana, Bruce, what are the two of you doing here? And is that a Boar on my stoop?" 

Lois rushed out the house; pulling Jon in for a hug she said "it's all right, Clark. I invited them. Besides we've put this off far too long." Some more time had passed and the two of them were having a private discussion in the kitchen "Dinner? Seriously we don't even know them that well, Lois. Who are you going to invite next, Lex Luthor?" 

Pulling out some fresh baked pie she said "that's the whole point, Clark. If you're returning to action, I want to know the people who will have your back." Lois put pie on a tray and handed it to Clark "besides we can't remain in isolation forever. So do it for Jon."

Walking out Clark put on his best smile "thanks for uh… coming, guys. I'll be honest, this is the last thing I expected." Bruce was now wearing one of Clark's plaid shirts "Diana made me come." He said while buttoning up the cuffs. "Your wife is right, Clark. This needed to happen." Said Diana from the table; Jon took a seat beside Bruce "I…I'm sorry I blasted you, Mr. Wayne. I hope my dad's shirt fits okay…" 

"This is why I like to work alone. Has your father taught you anything …" Clark cut Bruce off "Don't let him intimidate you, Jon. Believe me, Bruce has worn worse things than plaid, and as much as he talks about working alone. Batman always has a robin, he once wore a rainbow colored suit to draw attention from Dick." Bruce frowned at the comment "I have no recollection of this. And if you trained your son the way I've trained my robins…" Everyone at the table laughed at the story. 

"A rainbow Suit, Bruce" Diana commented as the group continued to laugh. "This isn't a laughing matter Clark. Unchecked you and your son are the most dangerous beings on the plant. The superman I knew lost both is parents and as different as we were… we understood each other. We might have gotten off to a shaky start but our loss helped us understand each other… he was..." 

"What about All-father? And his powers?" interrupted Jon. They all looked down at him "although his strength and gravity are impressive I …" Diana cut off Clark "his control over gravity is more than impressive, on my way to Africa I stumbled on a wormhole he opened off the west coast."

"Then there is his disassembly ability, you've never seen it Clark but that ability. I still can't figure out how it works." Add Bruce, "it's really unique, we dropped by his new house and he used it on himself and Cyborg. They separated into two foot … mini me's" stated Diana.

Lois perked up "So how'd he reform?" everyone focused intently on her, Jon eyes sparkled. "He tried to … take a peak, so I forced him with my lasso." Clark laughed and Lois punched him, Bruce hid his smile. Jon eyes sparkled, his mouth gapped open.

Lois raised an eyebrow "when you become such a fan? You've only seen one of his fights?" Jon let out a light laugh, before letting out a light yawn "good night, love you." As he rushed up stairs Lois turned back and eyed him run away. 

Everything died down and the table was soon at an awkward silence "I better go get dessert. Let's, go Jon." Stated Clark; "you should assist them, Bruce. I want to talk with Lois alone." Diana said as the two women looked towards each other.

When the men exited, Diana turned toward Lois and said "I want you to stop looking at me like that, Lois."  

"Like what?" she asked 

"Like a wounded animal, I've dealt with the loss of my superman. I am not here rekindle old feelings."

"I know, I didn't mean to…" Diana cut off Lois saying "he's not the same man I once loved. Those feelings no longer ring true. And to be honest, my feelings are the only thing I can trust right now."

"What do you mean Diana?" Lois asked

"I'm lost, Lois, I cannot find my way home. I was forced to reach out to an old friend for help." Diana thought of here last fight with cheetah as she talked with Lois "thought she is losing her memory of who she once was, and now greets me as an enemy." Taking another sip of her win she continued.

"She blames me for what happened to her, and then blames the gods. I reminded her that is a Woman and not a beast… and more importantly my friend. I came here, Lois because you are a strong woman. And I believe you to be my friend. You have managed to start a new life in a world with your family, and if I were to never find my way back… I want to know how to start over. "

Upstairs Clark had put Jon to sleep Bruce ageist the wall and said "When they sleep they seem so innocent. You almost believe they would listen to what we say." He thought of all time he spent with Daemon and the rest of bat family. 

Outside on porch Lois said "you'll always have a home here, Diana and most importantly, a friend." some more time had passed Clark, Bruce and Diana were now outside on the farm land staring out at the stars.

 "I don't regret returning to action, but I don't think it's the kind of life I want for my son." Said Clark "believe it or not, I actually am glad you both came. Maybe Lois was right about…" turning his head he heard 'Clark!, Come on Clark!' "You guys hear that?" leading the two of them to his barn he opened the door to see a younger version of him along with his old Pa out in a field of hay!. 



backdrop 

A few years back, Dc had a event called flashpoint. the event led into a rebooted of the dc universe while changing a lot of things about your favorite heros. Most of their fans hated it, so they did a mini-event that killed off New-52 (that's the name of reboot) Superman along with changing a lot of heroes.... So in short they Rebooted their Reboot and introduced a slightly older and all round better superman. 

like no joke, the new Superman is better in every way. and obviously a lot happened in between that the new superman has to deal with. I will be covering the important parts of it.

MMA champion Geralt “The All-father” Reinhardt has gained powers from the last of the first world gods ODIN!!

As joker got to the base he was in a daze not noticing the world around him as he falls on his bed but what he doesn't realize is that once he fell asleep he became a monster made of black tar (think venom but with wings and a snake for a tail and no spider Mark) 

———————————————————————
POV Gluttony 

I am Gluttony embodiment of Hunger the devourer of everything and i am the devouring itself my host or if you like to call him my master  is weak he should of devoured the entire prison but he fails to realize our true power so I shall feed him to give him energy maybe then he might not be such a failure.


Gluttony goes into the air with a flap of his wings and goes towards the city as he starts his plans. Over the city Gluttony looks for food seeing a gang fight he opens his mouth summoning a black hole that pulls the gang members and their cars in feeding Gluttony and Joker. His hunt continues till almost morning where he turns into a black mist and returns to the base returning inside jokers body.



———————————————————————
POV joker

Waking up I felt better than I have felt in a long time full of power and energy like I could take on the world. Today I'm going to test the powers I got from the people I devoured, the first thing I do was turn my hand into a claw like killer croc but instead of a crocodiles claw it became a black goo like claw that looks like black scales.


Joker: amazing let's add clayfaces powers


Adding the shapeshifting power on top of killer crocs I turned that black claw into a large hand with blades for fingers, a sword, a whip, a shield, and many other forms. This made me realize that clayfaces power revolves almost entirely on the imagination. Finally I turn my hand into a mini gun 

Joker: this can come in handy but it's not strong enough to wound someone like Superman..... not yet at least...wait..... Wait!!!! It might not be able to hurt Superman but I can kill Batman or Lex Luthor and they both have kryptonite if I could use it against Superman or better yet devour it so i gain its properties I could beat Superman even with my weakened powers..... I need to start planning 


Joker now making a plan to kill Batman as he has a cover as Joker if he killed Lex Luthor it would raise questions... 

Joker: I got a advantage on Batman I know who he is and where exactly he lives meaning if I get to him while he isn't in his costume he has none of his tools to fight me..... easy pickings no baits that will tip him off and let him give him the chance to get his outfit no this needs to be a assassination


Joker smiled evilly and used his shapeshifting ability to look like he did in his past life with a suit on.


Joker: if I pose as a investor it will give me the chance to shake his hand... that's all I will need to devour him as he's a normal human.

System: wrong host Batman has powers


Joker: what how and what powers!?


System: this is a mixture of all the comics so he has multiple lantern rings as well as the Mobius chair though he hasn't used it yet and doesn't know how as well as a speed force connection you got to remember how many times Batman reaches godhood and all of those items are in his hands including the helmet of Ares, Blackrock symbiote, and the super strength pills to rival Superman.


Joker started to sweat as the system kept going making him freak out.


Joker: are you saying all the hero's are OP and have all their powers from every universe 


System: that is correct I would recommend devouring weaker hero's and villains and working up while creating your own villains league or you will die.

Joker:wait that's crazy wait does that mean I got powers as the joker?

System:correct but they are sealed as you can't handle it as of now but you have mister Mxyzptlk's powers you also had shapeshifting and immortality but as you gained those through a wish and devouring anyways well you are basically unkillable but that doesn't mean you are safe.


Joker: of course the hero's get all the good powers damn back to the drawing board.

a war between good and evil happens all the time the gods of good create heros but what will happen when a dark and evil god creates his own champion 


Lusion was a average boring man in his early 20's till one day he was viciously eaten by hellhounds sent by the evil god after being given powers, 3 wishes, and a system then sent into the body of the joker from the DC universe starting his rise to darkness. will he succeed or will heros prevail in the end 



I own none of the games, anime, cartoons, shows, book, ECT that will be the base of this story this is purely a fan made fanfic.

Honoka had been in her apartment when she had gotten a notification for a link for the draw generator, this was the first time being a part of a group that was gonna be doing a themed cosplay group and not just a "cosplay any character you want".

This draw was to prevent the members of the said group from arguing when it came to who cosplays who, aside from making things interesting.

A draw, huh? I don't have much luck with things like these...

I just hope I get a character that has a outfit that's not that hard to make...

But, Will I have time to make it though?

She started to worry about her schedule getting busy once her editor tells her to start working on the next volume, unfortunately for her, none of the admins of the group chat hasn't announced the date of the group cosplay as of yet. 

Yuuki only had announced that there's gonna be one soon and didn't specify a given date for when they were gonna be doing it.

Should I post about this on my SNS...? 

But then again... I might get kicked off of the group for that...

Honoka hesitant to post about the upcoming event online couldn't do so for the sole reason of her being removed from the group and group chat as it was against the set rules.

Should I draw now...? Or do it later?

I guess I should since Yuuki already posted it...

*tap*

She opened the link to a webpage that has a menu that looks like a gacha menu of a japanese mobile game, this was "pretty cool" she thought as she pressed the "draw" button on the said menu.

In an instant... Her draw result was now decided...

She got a character that's obviously female, that has a spear with blonde hair that's styled into pigtails, blue eyes, wearing armor that makes the said character have the appearance of a knight from the middle ages.

Oh... Looks like I'll have to learn how to make cosplay armor now...

Her excitement disappeared the instant she saw her character assignment. With no knowledge on making armor that's meant for cosplaying, she now had to learn from online tutorials and ask help from the members of the group chat like usual.

I heard that I needed a heat gun for forming the foam into shape but...

How much will one cost...?

Her first search was about the retail price of a heat gun, all of the search results that she got ranged from the cheap to the most expensive, from the not-that-well-known to the famous brands.

Which one should I get...? Maybe I should refer to a tutorial first before I spend money on one of these...

A wise decision-- Her decision to not spend money first and look it up later was wise, she was better of doing this than regretting it later on.

Let's see... EVA Foam... Razor knife, a hot knife... a hot glue gun, some velcro... a heat gun, some nylon straps and bukles... and a marker for marking... a metal ruler and some spray paint... and lastly... a rotary tool?

Woah... That's a lot... This is gonna suck... I can tell already...

This new costume of hers will be costing
her quite a bit of money if she wasn't careful about buying the materials that was needed.

This was prooving to be challenging to her as she started to work on the said costume...

Her hand would often slip when she was handling the rotary tool, resulting in unessesary mistakes...

The mistakes that she had made were also obvious when she started to paint the finished armor pieces.

Her process of crafting this time was a fun and new expierence for her... With every cut she had made on the EVA foam, she slowly finished putting the armor pieces together using some of the velcro and nylon straps that she had ordered online with the hot glue gun before she added to add the details afterwards using a combination of the rotary tool, the hot knife.

This process was the tricky part... One slip and her costume would be ruined and she would have to start over.

This part is making me nervous... The people on the group chat to take it slow but...

She thought, already thinking of the mistakes that she could potencially do in the middle of carving the details onto the said foam armor.

This process could take from three hours to even more depending on how much time she had to work on it.

*Vrrrr*

Still with an ounce of hestation, she turned the rotary tool on after she finished putting marks for the detailing process on the surface of the eva material.

Little by little... The area that the said tool touched would slowly be cut away, like it was a piece of butter.

*riing*

Her smartphone rung after an hour of working on the armor, interupting her.

That could be Shigure... She usually calls me around this time of the month to tell me about the sales results of my light novel.

She turned off the rotary tool before she put it down on the table and picked it up her phone.

"I've got good news and bad news, which one do you wanna hear first?" 

Sure enough, the person on the other end was actually her editor- Shigure.

I really hate it when both news are present... Why is there bad news this time...?

She felt her heart sink as the words "bad news" come from her smartphone's front speaker.

The sound of it always meant that there was something that she had to do in order to continue working for her publisher.

"I'd like to hear the good one first..."

"The sales quota for your latest volume has been reached as usual.

As for the bad news..."

Oh god, here we go... Please don't be a book signing...

Honoka braced herself as Shigure slowly broke the news to her.

"You're gonna be getting a book signing event."

Damn it! Why?!

"Oh... Ok..."

Oh whatever... Atleast my publisher isn't asking me to rush to finish the current story arc...

Giving up on attempting to argue with Shigure, Honoka decided to give in to the sudden news.

She felt rather relieved that the higher ups wasn't asking her to do something hard like rushing the story.

***

A couple of days has now passed, Honoka had also finished most of the detailing on the armor; she had now reached the point where she can almost start applying the paint to it.

With her sales quota reached, she can now move on to planning out the next volume without any worries, her free time to work on the armor had also decreased as she received the OK to proceed with the next volume.

[To be continued...]

A female immortal around the age of 800 decided to join a chat group for cosplayers that had members that are immortals, vampires, hackers, demons, and many more immortal creatures including some fantasy creatures as members.

But the only problem is she has almost no experience in cosplaying and only has a year of experience and writes light novels as a job so she barely has anytime to work on her costumes.
