Capítulo 8: Chapter 8
The next thing he knew Zatanna was bending over him. "Xander, Xander can you hear me, you okay?" Worry was clear in her voice, and he slowly opened his eye.
"Yeah.. damn that hurt, remind me I don't ever want to do that again." He replied shakily as he sat up slowly.
"I don't understand… it did not hurt me going there or back, are you sure you are okay." Zatanna looked at him worriedly.
"Yeah.. figures.. me and magic just don't mix." Xander took a deep breath looking around and was vaguely disappointed. It all looked so normal and just like any other house. Oh well at least there was shrimp.
"Okay.. if you are sure." A bit relieved as he stood up and looked around backpack in his hand.
"Yeah.. okay.. guess.. I need to meet my employers?" Looking down at his clothes and shrugging. "Not really like I have a suit or anything."
Zatanna laughed "I don't think that will matter. I called them while you were out; they asked us to come there, so when you are ready, we need to go to the airport."
Xander shrugged, "Ready now I guess."
"Okay." She picked up the communicator and spoke into it. "Take us up now please." A flash of light and the next thing Xander knew they were standing on a silver disk in a large room.
"Fucking awesome, you have transporters. Too cool." Xander was in heaven, they had transporters.
Zatanna smiled at him a little unsure. "Well yeah, not very many but we got the technology a few years ago."
"Rocking." Xander grinned. "So where to?"
"Come on." Zatanna led him down two passage ways to the general meeting room. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman were going to meet them there. They reached the room, and it was still empty. "Hmm.. figures. Tell you what I am going to go grab something to eat, you haven't eaten since I found at the bar, and dimension traveling takes energy."
Xander nodded. "That would be great, I eat almost anything."
A quck smile and she was gone, Xander sat down looking around the large room. A noise at the door caught his attention and he turned to see someone in a Batman suit walk in, followed by a guy in a Superman get up, and a very beautiful woman in a Wonder Woman costume. Xander sighed "Great, it was all a joke. Fine you got me, very funny, ha ha. Just send me home now." He wanted to cry, all of this for a set up, why?
Batman looked at the young man confused. "What set up? Are you the person Zatanna brought back?"
Xander rolled his eye, sitting up straight. "Oh very funny Bruce. I suppose next you and Clark here, or should I say Kal-el is going to tell me that I am in the JLA watchtower and Diana here just wanted to meet your 'Defender of Mankind' so she could tell her mother the Queen what he was like." Xander would have gone on, but was struck by the frozen body language of the guy in the Bat suit, and the pale look on the guy dressed up as Superman. "What?" Exasperated and tired.
"How the HELL do you know our names?" Batman growled out, moving quickly across the room to pull Xander up in an iron grip, anger seething through him.
Zatanna walked in on this. "HEY what are you doing?" Quickly setting the food down and moving towards them. "I just brought him back, no terrorizing so soon."
"What did you tell him?" Demanded Batman "He knows who we are."
"What are you talking about? I barely told him anything, never even got to my last name, and since I don't know who you are how could I tell him?"
"Zatanna Zatara?" Xander asked weakly, barely paying attention. "Kal-el of Krypton, son of Jor-el, raised by Johnathan and Martha Kent in Smallville, Kansas? Diana, Princess of the Amazons, created out of clay by Hippolyta and breathed life into? Bruce Wayne, parents Thomas and Martha murdered in front of you as a child, you devoted your life to avenging their deaths becoming a vigilante known as Batman, known to the people at large as Bruce Wayne millionaire playboy?"
Everyone in the room paled looking at the man Bruce was trying desperately to not strangle. Superman was almost stammering at a stranger knowing who his Earth and Kryptonian parents were, was terrifying. "How the hell do you know all this?" If a voice could kill Batman's voice would have sliced Xander up into small pieces.
Xander looked into the eyes behind the mask, his single eye round and wide. "Because you are all comic book characters…. And I am a geek." With that Xander passed out.
