Issue #35: Team Bonding Activities Part 1

"So let me get this straight: He dumped you for this orange alien girl?" I asked Barbara.

"Uh huh." She said as we were at a restaurant. Barbara was the only one of us who ordered an alcoholic drink, which I assume she only got because of dickhead showing up and making a scene.

"So Why was he so desperate for the date?" I asked.

"It wasn't a-"

"Oh, yes it was." Kara and I said at the same time. Barbara sighed.

"I don't know. Maybe they're going through a rough patch or something." Barbara said. "I'm not interested, anyway."

"Good thing. Seemed like a bellend." I said.

"Are you just going to keep making dick references all night?" Barbara asked.

"More or less." I said. "But seriously, he was an idiot for dumping you in the first place. I don't know shit about this Starfire chick but she can't be cooler than you."

"Thanks but that's not true. As someone who's met Kori she's a good person and I can see why he broke up with me. She's extremely optimistic and sees everything in a positive light-"

"Boring! Overly happy people are lame. Pessimism is a lot more fun because you get to prove them wrong and make them happy."

"She has all of these interesting stories from when she was in space and about the times she was enslaved-"

"Ew, baggage."

"Not to mention she has a really great fashion sense-"

"I'm sitting here across from you in a Flash T-Shirt and you're wearing a beautiful black dress that makes you look like a million bucks." Barbara started blushing.

"You don't have to keep flattering me. It's getting kinda embarrassing."

"Yeah, seriously." Kara said. "Don't you have a girlfriend you keep bringing up?"

"No need to get jealous, despite currently being with Caitlin I've always had a thing for blondes." I said. "But yes, I do have a girlfriend and I'm not hitting on Barbara. I'm just stating facts. This Starfire chick doesn't really seem that cool. Like maybe if there was like an edgier version of her with an attitude maybe. Like that thing I saw about that one anime guy, what was his name? Goku Black? Starfire Black... Blackfi-"

"Anyway can we stop talking about them?" Barbara asked. "Trying not to get hammered on one of my only nights off."

"Gladly." I said before turning to Kara. "So what's exactly your gimmick? I don't really know much about you besides you think I'm cute and if you get embarrassed you'll drop people to their dooms."

"Are you going bring that up every time we interact!?" Kara asked still embarrassed by the whole thing.

"Mhmmmmmm." I said nodding. She scoffed before playfully punching me in the arm.

"Well when Krypton blew up a long time ago I was sent to Earth by my mother to watch over my younger cousin Kal but one thing led to another and I ended up in the Phantom Zone for nearly 20 something years."

"Phantom Zone? Wazzat?" I asked.

"Hard to explain. Long story short I didn't age that whole time but Kal had and became this guy called Superman. So instead he ended up watching over me until a few years ago when I became a hero like him. And that's when I met Barbara and Barry and Batman and everyone."

"I like how you called him Batman." I said.

"Alright, your turn." Barbara said. "How did you exactly become (H/N)? And how come you think you have to kill villains and you can't just bring them in?"

"That one's easy: my parents were killed in the third fight between Darkseid and The Justice League." I said taking a sip out of my drink to realize it was empty. "Ugh, when's the food gonna get here?" I asked before I noticed Kara and Barbara were staring at me. "What? Do I have something on my face?" I asked.

"(Y,N) I'm so sorry to hear that about your parents." Barbara said sincerely.

"Huh? Oh yeah, it sucked." I said before taking a sip out of Kara's drink.

"Aren't you bothered by it?" Kara asked.

"Oh, yeah, totally. I just don't like showing emotions that much. Bleh." I said. "But yeah, if you were paying attention they were killed the third fight. Not the first. The third. If they had just grown a pair and killed that tyrant ass bitch my parents would still be alive as well as everyone else who died in that third attack, and during the second one, and some from the first, and the ones that have died in the two invasions since then." I noticed that the mood had somehow gone down even more since the Dick conversation. "Hey, can we talk about something else? This is kinda a bummer to talk about." I said.

"Yeah, sure." Barbara said. "What do you wanna talk about?"

"Well I still don't really know that much about you guys besides you have a scumbag ex and you were a late bloomer. Literally." I said looking at Batgirl first before looking at Kara. "Like what're your favorite musicians?"

"I like Britney Spears." Kara said.

"...You do?" I asked.

"Uhhhh, y-yeah?" Kara said a little embarrassed now.

"In 2019?"

"Well I-"

"I thought I was the only one!" I said. "What about you?" I asked looking at Barbara.

"Nuh uh. Not answering."

"What? Why not?" I asked. "Is it One Direction?"

"No it's not actually. It's like the opposite but still." She said.

"Tell me."
"No."
"Tell me."
"No."
"Tell us."
"Kara!"
"Tell us!"
"Fine! It's... Evanescence."

"...Hehehehehehehe-"

"Shut up!" Barbara shouted at me. "And what's your favorite band, exactly!?" I stopped laughing.

"Easy it's-"

"Actually what's your second favorite band?" Barbara asked with a smirk like she already knew the answer.

"...Did you bathack my phone?" I asked.

"Why, What is it?" Kara asked.

"Don't have one!"

"Oh yeah? Do these lyrics mean anything to you?" Barbara said before clearing her throat. "Dear Chasey Lain, I'm writing to explain: I'm your biggest fan-"

"Barbara could you not-"

"I just wanted to ask: could I eat your ass, write back as soon as you can." Kara looked at me with a raised eyebrow as I got super embarrassed.

"This is a family diner this is no place to be singing The Bloodhound Gang!" I said.

"The wha?"

"Oh, Kara have you never heard The Bloodhound Gang before? (Y,N) has all of their albums on his phone. Including 'Hooray for Boobies'."

"Okay! This is way worst than you admitting you listen to Evanesce regularly!"

"Is it?" Barbara asked with a sly smile.

"...Actually no it's not. You saying you like Evanescence is way more embarrassing because Bloodhound Gang makes Actually good music." I said.

"Shut up!" Barbara shouted before we all started  laughing.

"Well now that my second favorite band is out you both have to tell me yours." I said.

"Oh this is a lot easier." Barbara said...

. . .

"Don't. Stop Me Now!~ I'm having such a good time! I'm having a ball! Don't. Stop Me Now!~ if you wanna have a good time, just give me a call!" We all sang. Meanwhile Kara and I were carrying Barbara through the streets as she was drunk off her ass. However she somehow still had a nice singing voice. We finished the song before Barbara started talking again.

"Y-you know what?"

"What?"

"Evanescence isn't even a bad band! The internet just bullied them..."

"Britney Spears got bullied by the internet but she's still good." Kara said.

"Do you wanna fuh-fight!?" Barbara asked her.

"Nope because you'd be out in one punch... or zero judging by the look of you." Kara laughed.

"Hey, y-you know what?"

"What?"

"Fuck Dick! That dumb idiot with his dumb alien girlfriend with her stupid tits! Dick can suck my... penis."

"So close yet so far away." I said laughing at her joke. Then I looked at Kara before whispering "can you use your x-ray vision to make sure she doesn't actually have a... Y'know?"

"I thought you had a girlfriend." Kara said rolling her eyes.

"It's not like him showing up changed anything... I was already trying to impress (Y,N) with my dress." Barbara said.

"Okay I think we should stop talking now." Kara said. Then Barbara gasped.

"We should go to the carnival! That looks really fun!" Barbara pointed at a carnival with a big clown at the entrance.

"Uh Barbara don't you have a thing against... clowns?" Kara asked.

"If you don't I sure as hell do. Those two interactions I had with Joker were enough to last a life time." I said.

"Oh, come on! Y-you don't have a thing against clowns! Wh-what about Harley? Y-you're always talking about her! Hell, she might even be here." Barbara hicked.

"...You really think so?" I asked. It has been a while since I've seen her and I have to admit I miss her and my other Clown psychopath.

"They're even doing a radio show competition! C'mon! Let's have some f-fun!" Barbara said excitedly.




"...Alright, fine. What's the worst that can happen?"
