"You said the Kryptonian was here correct?... seems he is weak if he didn't kill you," Darkseid said staring down at Earth with curiosity.

"I'm sorry my lord for being so weak, I will make sure he knows the true power of Darkseid by the time we are done" Darkseid's Follower, Kalibak said bowing his head, even though this wasn't Darkseid real body he was confident they would defeat the Kryptonian and claim this planet for themselves as well.

"There doesn't seem to be any challenge here other than The Kryptonian... How disappointing, we'll make it soon, come Kalibak" Darkseid said and they both walked away from the window that showed the Blue and Green planet of Humans, there was no one that could take him down, so why would he even take it seriously.

He'd simply beat the Kryptonian who seemed to be stronger than they usually are, and have a new planet to reign over, after all, who could stop him?

...

*Whish*

Jasper slammed his fist into the punching bag, it was nighttime and the gym was closed but the owner let him live and work here for 12 bucks an hour, not that good but better than nothing.

*Whish*

Jasper punched the bag again as he slipped into everything that had happened.

'I can't anymore!'

*Slam*

'Pull yourself together!'

*Slam*

'It's time for you to focus on your family'

*Slam*

'If you can't take your responsibilities seriously then...'

*Slam!*

*Rip*

Jasper sighed seeing the sand spewed everywhere around the gym, he grabbed a towel and wiped his sweat before going and sweeping it up.

The only way he could stay hidden was by dying his hair, he died it black and even wore brown eye contacts to not let people know his identity, it had worked for the 12 days he'd been kicked out of the Titan Tower.

He'd thought about going to Selina, but he didn't want her to kick him out as well, really right now, he wanted to better himself before reconnecting with everyone... and hopefully get Rize back.

"You still awake son? Man if I had as much determination as you I'd have become the world's greatest boxer by now... How are you doing with the whole secret identity thing?" The old man that owned the gym asked, he knew that Jasper was Ghoul and didn't care about it.

A few years back his daughter had been saved by ghoul in a burning building, she'd basically fallen in love with him, and the old man was grateful that his daughter was still alive, one of the reasons he had let Jasper live and work here.

"I'm... doing fine, how about you sir? any jerks giving you a hard time?" Jasper joked about the first time they'd met and also how this arrangement started.

...

"Damn old man! Don't make me the bad guy!" A man pushed Jesus, a Mexican legal immigrant that came here with his adopted daughter in order to have a better life.

He'd bought this gym and always paid rent on time, but now the man was back demanding more money and claiming that he had not paid in months, even though he'd paid less than 24 hours ago.

"I won't pay! I paid yesterday!" Jesus yelled, pulling his arm back before getting kicked in the chest by one of the big guys next to the landowner.

"Should have not made this difficult..." The landowner waved his hand and the 2 big guys stepped forward to take out Jesus.

*Bump*

"Huh?... oh sorry man, haha i'm not sober enough to see where i'm going," Jasper says with a bottle of vodka in his hand 3/4 of the way empty.

"Don't try and be a hero!" One of the big guys misunderstood and thought Jasper wasn't serious about the drink he thought that Jasper was going to try and save the man on the ground, something he hadn't been planning on...

As the man swung his fist at Jasper, Jasper simply dodged and kicked his leg out causing the man to fly back and slam into the wall, "Oops, sorry man I forgot to control my strength..."Jasper said drinking more of the vodka as he glanced at the other guy "Get the hell out of here..." He finished and the man nodded before running away.

The landowner had also run away before Jasper had even done anything, he'd seen the news and didn't feel like being taken down by a vigilante today.

"Hey... um puto?... sorry I don't know Spanish... you're fine now right... I need to go and find a bridge to sleep under-'' Jasper had been talking drowsily the whole time and finally dropped the vodka and slammed into the concrete, asleep...

"Did he... just call me a puto?" Jesus said before shaking his head and dragging Jasper inside, he had recognized him as well, and this was the least he could do for his daughter's favorite person...

...

"I'll be out!" Jasper yelled in the morning to Jesus, before walking out and breathing in the fresh air, it was time for step two of his getting better plan, go to therapy...

Yeah he skipped that and went to an arcade instead, therapists were useless anyway, but he did have one place he should go, to find this so-called brother that Rize had said had come after them.

He had a hunch who it might be, and if he was right then it seemed that the little bitch had returned from the dead only to get his ass handed to him once again.

"Yeah he was my bitch after a few blows to the dome, hell I can't wait to see that fucker come back and get his ass kicked again," A man in a yellow shirt said to his fellow goons.

This was the remains of Joker's thugs, they'd been waiting for Joker to return, but no one knew he'd been killed several years ago, not that anyone cared too much, after all, Joker was a pretty large asshole to everyone really, but there were still a few loyal people around...

"What about the boss? He kicked your ass with only a few punches haha" Another thug said indicating their new boss that had shown up recently, calling himself red hood and beating them into submission.

He paid well though so they didn't complain, otherwise they might stage a revolt against the man people were calling the bane of Batman.

"This new boss..." Jasper jumped down from his hiding place and grabbed the nearest thug before slamming his face into the wall, breaking his nose "Where can I find him?" He finished before taking down the other five and grabbing the last guy.

"So?... where is he?" Jasper asked, he was in his ghoul form so they didn't really recognize him as a bigshot, though they should have...

"I-I don't know man! He comes and goes as he pleases, i'm just trying to feed my daughter dude!" the man said quickly, raising his hands.

Jasper looked at the man before sighing and letting him go "Don't try and do crime again... or I won't be so nice next time..." Jasper said before walking away and disappearing into the shadows, seemed he'd need to go to someone with the information he wanted... and there were only a few of them...

(A/N: Jasper going after Jason, just like the old days, Darkseid planning to take over the planet, all good, that's cool but I feel bad for Punching bag-Chan, he was just trying to make a living... But people are saying they will act like this is dropped... is it bad?... things are better on Patre0n but whatever🤷🏻‍♂️... Please vote, I want to be popular too🥺)
