Flash's Halloween Party
by
Arcadia
Part Two
When Clark and
Krypto arrived in the hanger, Bruce and Diana were entering the Javelin. Krypto
raced ahead of Clark and once
Diana looked to
“Krypto, get
down,”
“Krypto, stop!”
Diana ordered the dog. She took his paws off the panel. Krypto put his paws back
on it. He twisted his head in Clark’s direction, hoping
He did. “Wait.
I think I got it. Krypto wants to fly the Javelin.”
Diana’s mouth
fell open. “What?”
“No way in
hell,” was Bruce’s answer. “I don’t like it when Flash flies this ship. You
think I’m gonna let a dog fly a twenty million dollar
ship?!”
“He’s acting
like Snoopy, who *could” fly planes. He’s a famous World War II fighting ace.”
Both pair of eyes from Bruce and Diana still said no. “I know it doesn’t make
sense but Mxyzptlk did give us our character’s abilities. This is one of them
for Krypto to act on.”
“You must be
out of your Kryptonian mind if you think I’m gonna allow your dog to fly this
ship.”
“I have to
agree with Bruce on this on, Kal. It’s so ridiculous and I won’t allow it
either.”
Ten minutes
later, Diana and Bruce weren’t happy as they sat in the backseat of the Javelin
while
“Damn
Kryptonite,” Bruce muttered. “I thought it would
work.”
“Now that he
has Lion-O’s abilities, he’s immune to it.” Diana drummed her fingers on the
armrest of her chair. “If only we had some Thundrainium-whatever that is-and
what’s Snoopy vulnerable to?”
“I know he’s
afraid of the cat next door,” Bruce quickly answered. “In one episode, the cat
took a swipe at Snoopy’s home and destroyed half of
it.”
Diana raised an
eyebrow at Bruce. “Seems you know more about these characters than you let
on.”
Bruce crossed
his arms and looked out the window. He was silent the rest of the way. “It
wasn’t my choice. Alfred made me.”
Diana’s lips
twitched. “If you say so, Bruce.”
Krypto arrived
in Metropolis with no problem. As he neared the Daily Planet building, Clark
opened a door; the wind whipping his wild, red mane. He spotted Mxyzptlk on the
Daily Planet rooftop. It was as if the imp was waiting for him. “There he is.”
Clark jumped out of the Javelin first, followed by Diana and
Bruce.
Since Clark and
Diana no longer had the ability to fly, they used their catlike reflexes to
gracefully land. Landing on a building without flying was an easy task for
Bruce. He was more than glad he came as Snake Eyes. On the way to Metropolis, he
wondered what Mxyzptlk would’ve done to him if he wasn’t Snake Eyes. What if he
arrived in his regular uniform and Mxyzptlk decided to play a cruel joke and
turned him into a real bat? Bruce shuddered at the
thought.
Mxyzptlk looked
around at the three new arrivals. “Three against one? That’s not fair, Flame
Head!”
“Can’t take
chances with you, Kleptomaniac,” Clark said.
“I thought his
name backwards was Knickers,” Diana remarked.
“I was certain
it was kwyjibo,” Bruce joined in.
Mxyzptlk fumed
insulted they forgot his name. His arrogance and jealousy knew no bounds. “My
name isn’t Kleptomaniac or Knickers and calling me kwyjibo is just mean! It’s…”
the imp caught on. “Oh, I see what you’re doing. I’m not falling for that again!
I’ve learned from my battles against you.”
Clark snapped
his fingers. “So close.”
Diana twirled
her staff as she ordered the imp. “Change us back!”
“No.” Mxyzptlk
gave Diana a lecherous look. “Even as a cat, you’re still hot, Wonder Woman. If
things between me and my sweetie at home end, we should get together.” A growl
rolled from Clark’s mouth. Mxyzptlk turned his attention back to him. “Moving in
on your territory?” he teased.
Clark shook off
the animal instinct to rip Mxyzptlk apart. “Whenever we fought, it was like a
game and a game has rules.”
“I’ll make a
deal with you, Lion-Ho. Humor me and defeat the Legion of Doom. Then I’ll turn
you and your friends back.”
“That doesn’t
get rid of you.”
Myxzptlk
smirked at Bruce as he vanished before him. “I
know.”
“You know it’s
another trick,” Bruce told Clark.
Diana signaled
Krypto back to them. “What choice do we have? We have to play his game for now.
It’s the only way to get us back to normal.”
Krypto lowered
the Javelin and Diana jumped inside. “We’ll get him,” Diana
promised.
“It won’t be
easy,” Bruce said as he and Clark got in the Javelin. “Not with him jumping in
and out like that.”
“I know,” Clark
agreed. “I’m not sure how to get out of this one. Usually, when I am in a jam,
Jaga shows up and tells me what to do.”
Diana turned to
him. “What did you say?”
Clark thought
over what he said and shook his face, as if clearing the thoughts away. “I don’t
know.” He rubbed his face. “Did I say Jaga?”
“Yes.” Diana
was troubled by this as much as Bruce. “Kal, I think your personality is
blending with Lion-O’s.”
Clark
understood what this meant and for once he wasn’t finding any humor in the trick
cast on him by Mxyzptlk. “You think so?”
“If it is, it
won’t be long before it affects us.” Bruce was getting worried. “We better get
our bodies back as soon as possible.”
Krypto hovered
the Javelin over the battle ensuing in downtown Metropolis. Several members of
the Legion of Doom were fighting the Justice League. “If we’re going to do it,
let’s do it! ThunderCats, Ho!” Clark called out as he jumped out of the
Javelin.
Diana watched
Clark shot a line from his claw shield. It wrapped around a pole and after a
swing, Clark released the line, flipped and smoothly landed on his feet. “He’s
enjoying himself.”
“He’s an
idiot,” Bruce said. “We have a serious situation and he’s acting like a
child.”
“Maybe,” Diana
reluctantly agreed. “But he does look good in his
costume.”
Bruce rolled
his eyes. “Diana!”
“ThunderCats,
Ho!” Diana yelled as she followed Clark.
Bruce could
only shake his head and jump out, too, joining the battle
below.
*****
When Wally,
John, Plastic Man, Dick Grayson and J‘onn transported to downtown Metropolis,
they saw other League members engaged in a battle with the Legion of Doom. They
were going to join their allies when Dick spotted breaking news on the large
television on a building. Solomon Grundy, Copperhead and Star Sapphire were
fighting prison guards.
“Looks like
some of the Legion’s breaking out their friends from Metropolis’ Meta prison,”
Dick said. “We better go there.”
“We can travel
in J’onn,” Wally looked up at J’onn. “He’s the only one of us who can transform
into a vehicle.”
“All right,”
J’onn agreed.
“You know you
have to say it,” Wally teased him.
J’onn sighed,
knowing what Wally mean. “Do I, Flash?”
“Yes!” Wally
nearly jumped up and down in excitement. “You’re
him!”
“But I’m the
only one, Flash,” J’onn argued. “It wouldn’t make
sense.”
“It doesn’t
matter.”
“Come on,
J’onn,” Plastic Man joined in and pleaded.
“Please.”
John looked at
Dick confused. “What are they talking about?”
Dick chuckled.
“Wait for it.”
J’onn sighed.
“Very well. Autobots. Transform and roll out!” J’onn transformed into a red and
blue tractor trailer.
“Sweet!” Wally
and Plastic Man gave each other a high five and jumped in the truck. John shook
his head and climbed in next.
Dick laughed at
John’s displeasure as he got in the truck last. “You gotta admit. That was cool,
John.”
“Not you, too,”
John groaned.
“Can we stop
for pizza first?” Plastic Man asked. “I’m totally cravin’ for some pizza with
anchovies and peanut butter.”
J’onn drove the
group to the Metropolis Meta Prison. Prison guards were shocked when a famous
red and blue truck from their childhood pulled up. They expected the Justice
League to come help not four men in turtle costumes and a morphing
truck.
“Is that
Optimus Prime?” one of the guards asked.
“Hey, it’s
okay,” Wally assured the guards. “We’re the good
guys.”
Instead of
listening, the guards fired their guns on them. Wally jumped out of way,
avoiding getting shot. “Hey, I said we’re the good guys!” Wally threw a sai at
one of the guards disarming him. “Sometimes it doesn’t pay to get out of your
shell.”
John used his
sword to slice a gun in half. Dick used his bo to disarm a guard. Plastic Man
swung his nunchuks and tripped a guard. When his gun slipped from his fingers,
Plastic Man caught it.
J’onn aimed an
arm at the guards that were wasting their bullets shooting him. A laser gun rose
from his arm as J‘onn warned, “I suggest you put your weapons
down.”
Wally, John,
Dick, Plastic Man and J’onn stood over the remaining guards who decided it was
best to give up.
“Now, let’s try
this again,” Wally said. “We’re the good guys.”
“We’re heroes
in a half shell,” Dick added. “Remember the theme
song?”
“Don’t you guys
know your eighties cartoons?” Plastic Man asked. “We’re the Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles!”
“Who?” one of
the guards questioned.
“Guys, they are
totally bumming me out,” Plastic Man said.
John frowned as
he noticed the behavior of his comrades. He looked up at J’onn. “Is it me or are
those three acting more like their cartoon
counterparts?”
“I’ve noticed
that,” J’onn said. “Either Mxyzptlk trick was more powerful than we thought or
the Decepticons are a part of this.”
John scratched
the back of his bald head. “Uh, yeah. Guys, leave them. We have to stop the
break out.”
“Oh, yeah,”
Wally said. “I almost forgot about that.”
As John, Wally,
Dick and J’onn ran into the building, Plastic Man asked. “Do you think they have
some pizza in the kitchen?”
On the level
where the Meta Humans were, Solomon Grundy, Copperhead, Star Sapphire disarmed
and knocked out all the guards standing in their way. Solomon Grundy grabbed a
metal door and ripped it off its hinges.
“Solomon
Grundy, I suggest you put down that door.”
Grundy tossed
the door aside. Copperhead and Star Sapphire went inside. John, Wally, Dick and
Plastic Man followed them. Grundy kept his eyes on J’onn. “Your voice sounds
like Martian.” He chuckled. “Mxy trick work. I can beat you in that tin can
costume of yours.”
J‘onn smiled.
“This form is quite formidable, Solomon Grundy. It would be foolish if you fight
me.”
“Grundy can
beat tin man.” Solomon Grundy rushed J’onn like a linebacker. J’onn stumbled
back a few feet before he picked up Solomon Grundy and threw him through a
wall.
As Solomon
Grundy and J’onn fight, John and the others followed Copperhead and Star
Sapphire. Copperhead and Star Sapphire were releasing meta human criminals as
the Justice League arrived.
Wally pulled
out his sais. “Come on, guys. Turtle Power!”
“Cowabunga!”
Plastic Man cheered as he followed Wally, swinging his
nunchuks.
Dick watched
Wally and Plastic Man fight with Captain Cold and Deathstroke. “Oh, what the
hell. You only live once. Turtles fight with
honor!”
“Hey, that’s my
line, Donatello!” John shouted at Dick. “Oh, no! I’m being affected,
too!”
*****
In downtown
Metropolis, Snapper Carr and his news crew were in safe vicinity from battle
taking place a few yards from them. As the crew prepared to interrupt schedule
programming, Snapper Carr looked at the scene in disbelief. Snapper Carr saw
someone dressed as Smurfette kick Poison Ivy in her stomach with her
stilettos.
“I never knew
Smurfette could kick ass.”
“Uh, Snapper,
we’re on the air.”
“Oh.” Snapper
Carr turned back to the camera. “This is Snapper Carr in downtown Metropolis. It
seems characters from 80s cartoon have come to life and are fighting the Legion
of Doom. This is the strangest story this reporter has ever covered but also the
coolest!”
Behind them,
Arthur raised his sword above his head. “By the power of Grayskull,” clouds form
in the sky as lightening strikes the sword, “I HAVE THE POWER!” Arthur used his
Power Sword to fight Black Manta.
Zatanna looked
at her fellow Justice League friends fighting the Legion of Doom, feeling left
out. “This is so embarrassing,” Zatanna muttered. “I can’t use any of my powers
at all. I only have these Star Sprinkles.” Zatanna fumbled with the star
sprinkles in her hand.
“Just do what
you can. Katar and I will help you,” Shayera encouraged. “We can take out
Giganta together.”
Giganta grew
into her full size, towering over the women. “I’d like to see you
try.”
“I have an
idea,” Zatanna said feeling inspired. “But we need to get high
up.”
“This would
work better if I had my wings.” Shayera spotted the Javelin flying over them.
She wondered who was flying it. She thought everyone was fighting around her.
Shayera put the thought aside as she shot out a grappling hook on the Javelin.
Once a secure line was formed, Shayera pulled her and Zatanna up until they were
at eye level with Giganta.
A door on the
Javelin opened and Zatanna and Shayera climbed in. Both were shocked to see
Krypto flying the ship. “Krypto?! He’s flying the Javelin?” She looked at
Shayera stunned. “But how?”
Giganta waved
her hand, swatting the Javelin like a fly. She managed to hit the tail of the
ship, sending it spiraling before Krypto managed to get the ship under
control.
“We’ll worry
about that later.” Shayera struggled to keep her balance. “We have to take out
Giganta. Fly us back to Giganta, Krypto.”
Krypto let out
an unpleasant grumbled and waved his fist angrily before complying and turning
around to face Giganta. Giganta tried to hit them again but Krypto was ahead of
her this time.
Zatanna was
ready for her as Krypto flew the Javelin to Giganta once more. “Star Sprinkles!”
Zatanna tossed rainbow colored star sprinkles over Giganta’s
face.
The giant woman
grunted and rubbed her eyes as her face was colored like a rainbow. On the
ground, Katar wrapped rope around Giganta’s ankles and pulled as hard as he
could. “Yo, Joe!” he yelled.
Shayera helped
out by kicking Giganta across her face. The giant woman began to stumble and
with Katar pulling the rope, Giganta tumbled
backwards.
Justice League
and Legion of Doom members got out of the way as Giganta fell to the ground.
They struggle to keep their balance as Giganta’s fall caused a slight tremble to
pass through the city. Knocked out, Giganta returned to her normal size. Katar
took the moment to tie up Giganta.
“Wow,” was all
Zatanna could say.
“We couldn’t
have done it without you, Zatanna. The Star Sprinkles were a good
distraction.”
Zatanna smiled.
“I guess I shouldn‘t underestimate myself even without my powers. Now I
know.”
“And knowing is
half the battle,” Shayera said proudly.
“Huh?” Zatanna
frowned.
“It’s the G.I.
Joe Motto.” Shayera jumped from the ship. She tackled Killer Croc who cushioned
her landing.
“That’s weird,”
Zatanna said to herself. She looked back to Krypto flying the Javelin. “That’s
even weirder.” Zatanna jumped in the co-pilot seat. “You may be a great pilot
and all Krypto, but how about I stay up here with you
anyway?”
Krypto flashed
a grin at Zatanna and put on a pair of shades. Zatanna chuckled. “If I didn’t
know any better, I’d say you’re acting like
Snoopy.”
Krypto leaned
forward and kissed Zatanna’s cheek in a move very similar to Snoopy when he
kissed Lucy only this time Zatanna wasn’t yelling and screaming she had dog
germs.
“Yep,” Zatanna
laughed. “You are most definitely Snoopy.”
On the ground,
Diana faced off with Cheetah. Cheetah clicked her tongue as she looked Diana
over in her cheetah costume. In Cheetah eyes, Diana looked more like an imposter
than a real cheetah. She wanted to laugh. Cheetah knew Mxyzptlk was going to do
something to the Justice League. She had no idea what it was until
now.
“Finally wanted
to be like me, Diana,” Cheetah taunted. “I should’ve known all this time you
envied me.”
“Envy a
monstrous murderer like you?” Diana gripped her staff. She wasn’t as strong
before and would need all the resources she had to defeat
Cheetah.
“As impressive
Cheetah you might be, there can only be one true Cheetah.” Cheetah looked over
at Clark battling Lex Luthor. “I never knew how handsome Superman looked until
now.” She licked her lips as she stared at the Man of Steel in his skimpy blue
outfit. “I think I’ll have my way with him after I kill
you.”
Diana twirled
her staff it defiantly. “Over my dead body.”
Cheetah’s eyes
lit up in pure evil. “Precisely.”
Cheetah snarled
at Diana when she swung her sharp claws at Diana. Diana matched Cheetah,
surprisingly with a snarl of her own when she kicked her nemesis in her stomach.
Cheetah fell on all fours and used her tail to trip Diana only Diana used her
staff to catch Cheetah’s tail. Diana grabbed the staff and swung Cheetah around.
She slammed Cheetah against the concrete pavement.
Clark meanwhile
was battling it out with Lex Luthor in his battle suit. With Luthor able to fly
and Clark no longer able to, Clark was at a slight disadvantage. Luthor shot
lasers from his suit at Clark who used the Sword of Omens to deflect it. Luthor
got a hit, striking Clark’s left arm. Luthor smiled when he saw blood running
from Superman’s arm.
Luthor laughed.
“Not so impenetrable now, are you?”
“I’m still
strong enough to defeat you,” Clark said.
Luthor
continued firing an array of weapons on Clark and Clark used his sword and his
newly acquired catlike reflexes to fight Luthor. Clark tried shooting beams at
Luthor’s suit but Luthor was swift in his battle suit, avoiding each charge of
mystical energy. With an idea, Clark waited until Luthor was close enough before
jumping as high as he could. “Ho!” Clark yelled and a burst of electricity
emitted from the Sword of Omens struck the center of Luthor’s suit deactivating
it. Clark didn’t cushion Luthor’s fall by catching him. Instead he let Luthor
crash, tangled in his broken suit.
Clark grabbed
Luthor by the collar of his suit. “I always wanted to do this but feared I would
go too far with my strength, but now that I’m not as strong…” Clark punched Lex
Luthor across his face, knocking him out instantly. “That felt
good.”
Clark dropped
Luthor and search for Diana. He found her engaged in a fierce fight with
Cheetah. He couldn’t turn away as he watches Diana flip and make jumps to avoid
Cheetah’s attacks. As swift Diana was, she took hits. There were claw marks
across her stomach and arms. Cheetah was sporting bruises as well. Clark took
note how limber Diana was as she twist and turn to avoid Cheetah’s deadly claws.
Maybe it was the cat in him but seeing Diana move the way she was, he was
getting turned on.
Toyman, seeing
Superman distracted by the fight between Wonder Woman and Cheetah slowly
approached him. He was aware Superman wasn’t as strong and didn’t have his other
special abilities thanks to Mxyzptlk. Toyman held a large mallet that, used with
enough force, could crack a human skull. Once he was close enough, Toyman raised
the mallet over Superman’s head. He was about to come down hard on Superman,
when Superman (not even looking at Toyman) threw a fist back, hitting Toyman
directly in his face. The blow was so strong Toyman immediately dropped to the
ground.
A final punch
from Diana sent Cheetah to the ground. Exhausted, Diana bent down and picked up
her staff. She turned to see Clark staring at her. “Kal, what’s the
matter?”
“Nothing,” he
said his gaze still fixed on her. “I mean, I never knew you were so flexible.”
He smiled. “It’s a bit of a turn on.”
Diana half
rolled her eyes, “Really, Kal. Now is not the
time.”
Clark wouldn’t
stop. “You say that now but I distinctly remember you whispering at the party
how you couldn‘t wait to get me home.”
Diana did her
best to not smile as she recalled the moment but she was failing miserably.
“That was before this happened. We have to get our bodies
back.”
“Actually, I
have a plan on how to do that, but I want to signal everyone back
here.”
Diana knew what
Clark was planning to do. Still, she shook her head in denial. “No,
Kal.”
“There isn’t
other way, Diana. I have to do it.”
Diana knew
Clark didn’t think of any other way. “On some level, you’re enjoying
this.”
Clark couldn’t
stop smiling. “Actually, I am.” Diana fought the urge to bury her face in her
hands. Clark raised the Sword of Omens over his head, “Thunder, thunder,
thunder, ThunderCats HO!!” With each ‘thunder’, the Sword of Omens grew until it
was at its fullest length. The Eye of Thunder shot out of the Sword of Omens and
the ThunderCat signal stood out over the Metropolis
sky.
Half a mile
away, Dinah and Ollie defeated Doctor Light. Ollie was tying him to his
motorcycle when Dinah saw the signal in the sky. “I cannot believe what I’m
seeing.”
“What?” Ollie
looked up as well. His mouth opened when he saw the ThunderCat signal, but in
true Ollie fashion, the shock fell away fast and he was smirking. “Well, you
know what they say, “ThunderCats Ho!”
Dinah got on
Ollie’s motorcycle and rode off with him saying, “I cannot believe that show got
away with saying ‘Ho’.”
On top of a
rooftop, Question and Huntress defeated Deathstroke. Huntress was tying him up
when she commented. “I don’t know. I feel like I should be helping Deathstroke
and not help capture him.”
“You are
dressed as the Baroness and she’s evil. It’s natural she would want to help a
fellow villain.” Question stared at Huntress backside as she busy with tying
Deathstroke. “Of course, you’ve always been a bit of a bad girl
yourself.”
“At least I
tried for my costume. You kept your regular clothes and said you were Inspector
Gadget.” Huntress stood and Question straightened. She smirked. “I saw that.”
Huntress pressed herself against the Question. “So, got any gadgets under you
coat that I can play with?”
Question saw
the signal in the sky. “I think we are needed.”
Huntress
turned. “That’s something you don’t see everyday. We’re a ways away from
Superman. How are we gonna get to him?”
“I have an
idea. Go-Go-Gadget ’Copter!” Helicopter propeller blades and handles came out of
the Question’s hat. Question held onto the handles while Huntress put her arms
around him. They flew off the building flying towards the signal in the
sky.
At the
Metahuman prison, John, Wally and Dick and were putting the escapees back in
their prison cells. Plastic Man was snacking on a day old pizza he found in one
of the break rooms. J’onn entered with an unconscious Solomon Grundy on his
shoulders. He put Grundy in a cell that he hoped would hold
him.
“You should
come outside with me,” J’onn said. “There’s something you have to
see.”
Outside, John
and the others stared at the ThunderCat signal in the sky. Wally grinned. “And
he said he wouldn’t do it.”
“We better join
them,” Dick said. He looked to J’onn. “J’onn.”
J’onn
transformed into a truck again and the four piled in. “Hey, can we stop for some
pizza on the way?” Plastic Man requested. “That pizza didn’t have any kick to
it.”
Everyone
responded with a resounding, “No!”
****
“You think your
plan will work?” Bruce asked Clark.
“The Legion of
Doom has been defeated. So, Mxyzptlk has to honor our
deal.”
“You know he
won’t,” Bruce told him.
Clark wasn’t
concerned. “Oh, I have a way to get him to.”
When Lex Luthor
opened his eyes, he found himself and several members of the Legion of Doom
captured and imprisoned in devices and weapons that would hold them. Luthor
struggled in his bolos as he stared up at Superman, Batman and Wonder
Woman.
“You know I’m
going to get out of this,” Lex promised. “Even if I do go to jail, I will
escape.”
“We’ll still
stop you,” Clark assured him. “But you should know we are not motivated on
fighting injustice alone to capture you. Mxyzptlk made a deal with
us.”
Unfortunately
for Luthor, he knew Superman wouldn’t lie to him. He knew he should‘ve thought
twice before making a deal with the imp but it was such a sure deal. “What are
you talking about?”
“A deal’s a
deal, Mxyzptlk.” Clark said to no one in particular. A second later Mxyzptlk
appeared. “We defeated the Legion of Doom as promised. Now change us
back.
Mxyzptlk shook
his head, disgusted at the captured Legion of Doom. “I thought they would’ve
done better. I gave them an advantage. I turned you into 80s cartoon
characters.” Mxyzpltlk glared at Luthor as he was the leader of the Legion of
Doom. “How pathetic are you that you couldn’t defeat 80s cartoon
characters?!”
“You traitor!”
Luthor spat out. “You set us up?”
“It was all in
good fun, baldy!” Mxyzptlk laughed at Luthor before turning his attention back
to Superman. “But even though you defeated the Legion of Doom, Snarf lover, it
doesn’t mean I’m going to change you back.”
“Snarf lover?”
Clark was insulted. “He was an annoying--”
“That’s not
important!” Bruce interrupted. “I knew we shouldn’t have trusted
Mxyzptlk.”
Mxyzptlk
laughed. “That’s your fault.”
“Once I get out
of these,” Luthor threatened Mxyzptlk, “I’m gonna get you for
this.”
“You don’t have
the mental capacity to do it,” Mxyzptlk taunted.
Luthor snorted.
“I don’t have the mental capacity to realize you have a small coccyx if you have
one at all and you’re making up for it by being an annoying
ass.”
Mxyzptlk
stopped laughing. “That better not be what I think it
is.”
Luthor grinned.
He was right. Mxyzptlk was an idiot. Then again, most beings were to his superb
intelligence. “It’s what you think it is. It’s amazing you have a woman with
your small coccyx and that you can satisfy her,
Klyptism.”
“I don’t have a
small coccyx! I have a big coccyx! I can satisfy my baby! And it’s not Klyptism!
It’s Kltpzyxm!” Mxyzptlk caught Luthor’s grinned. “Oh, damn.” Mxyzptlk heard
chuckling behind him. He turned to see Clark and Diana failing to keep their
laughter in. “You set me up!”
“I knew you
would be on your guard if I try to trick you but you wouldn’t be as prepared if
Luthor tricked you,” Clark explained.
Mxyzptlk was
fading away to his dimension when he cursed at Superman. “I’ll get you for this!
I won’t be down for long. And just for tricking
me…”
With the last
ounce of his power Mxyzptlk freed the Legion of Doom, sending them back to their
secret base. His promised to the Justice League was honored as the spell he cast
dissolved and the Justice League powers returned. Plastic Man extended his
limbs; Wally ran in a red blur running up and down the street hollering and
whooping.
John changed
into Green Lantern. Using his ring, he created a wall to which Wally ran into.
“Stop that. We have work to do.”
The Justice
League began cleaning up the damages done to the city. Three hours later, with
their work done, everyone was ready to call it a
night.
As everyone
headed to their respective homes, Diana walked to Wally who was heading for the
Javelin. Clark was with her. “Kal and I are going
home.”
“Good night,”
Wally told him. “Can you believe everyone is angry at me? It’s not my fault
Mxyzptlk showed up and changed us.” He pouted. “I don‘t get the big deal.
Everything worked out. We defeated the Legion of Doom as 80s cartoon characters.
How cool is that!”
“It’s not you
fault but in the future you may want to think twice about your parties,” Clark
told him.
“If you throw
another Halloween party, we better remain in our regular fighting clothes.”
Diana comforted Wally. “Let’s go, Kal. The first thing I’m doing is getting out
of this costume. Ugh! It feels like a second skin.”
“I’ll help
you,” Kal offered which earned him an elbow in his ribs. Holding hands, the two
flew home together. Krypto followed closely behind
them.
Bruce brushed
pass Flash as he stepped towards the Javelin. “I’m adding another month of
monitor duty to your roster. Maybe next time you will think twice before
throwing a Halloween party.”
Wally
calculated the months of monitor duty he promised to Bruce and John. “But that’s
four months of monitor duty!” Wally complained.
“Too bad.”
Bruce stepped inside the Javelin.
“Ah, man,”
Wally whined as he followed Bruce. “It’s not my fault. Can I at least fly the
Javelin back?”
“No!”
Wally slumped
in a chair and crossed his arms. “Man, I hate
Halloween.”
The
End
