"I am not that stupid, I know how important that part is." Said Gohan as he took a deep gulp of the Vodka in front of him, feeling the liquid scratch his throat as it went down, he just shook his head before finishing it before calling to the bartender. "Another one!" Said Gohan, he loved this burn he felt, it made him feel alive, usually, he wouldn't feel this but man it felt good, he felt normal.
Barry quickly finished his as well before doing the same, the two silently in a competition.
A couple of minutes passed as the two were talking about the city, and Gohan was enjoying himself, was this a normal life? And if it was, did he miss out on it because he had to protect his home? But he felt happy knowing he could keep the world safe so that people could enjoy themselves like this, for the first time in his life Gohan felt so much pride, if his sacrifices brought smiles and happy times to everyone like this, then he felt it was all worth it, right now Barry was making him feel welcome in this dimension, things could have gone so differently if everyone was hostile.
"Barry!" Said Gohan loudly getting the speedster's attention. "Thanks, I mean it, for taking me out here, I haven't done this before, you know…school and protecting the world, never had much time for anything else," Said Gohan as Barry laughed.
"No problem man, glad to be the one to show you all this!" Said Barry as he got a refill, Gohan felt someone bump into him, he was starting to feel the effects of the alcohol but he was still mostly sober, he turned and saw a girl had come to sit down, she had bumped into him as she sat down being somewhat drunk and all, she had brown hair and was wearing white skinny jeans and a green tank top with some vans(The shoes, not sure if everyone will know), she had a blue band around her left ankle, he couldn't see her face, her back was still turned to him, she was talking to her blonde friend who was wearing black jeans with a blue top and was wearing boots, she turned her face and Gohan felt his heart skip a beat, her friend called her name.
"Bell, what are you going to drink?" Asked the friend with the blonde hair as she also took her seat, Gohan looked forward again before ordering another drink before looking at Barry again.
"Well, what else is there?" Asked Gohan as Barry grinned.
"Well, we can always have some shots!" Said Barry as Gohan just grinned back.
"Bring em on, yo Kevin!" Said Gohan, the bartender who just served the two girls next to Gohan before walking over to Gohan and Barry.
"How about some shots?" Asked Barry as Gohan shrugged.
"Whatever makes this night better, I am game," said Gohan as Barry chuckled.
"Sounds about right, what do you suggest Kevin?" Asked Barry.
"I'd buy some Tequila shots, that's one way to start the night," said Kevin with a smile as Gohan smiled.
"Then Tequila shots it is" Said Gohan as Barry nodded, Gohan looked back to the girls before he saw the one with the brown hair who he heard was called Bell kiss another guy who sat down next to them, he felt a tinge of disappointment at the sight, besides that it was also like really close to him, he looked away.
"God Gohan, I have work tomorrow you know?" Said Barry jokingly as Gohan just grinned.
"Should have thought twice about this then" Said Gohan as the Tequila shots were poured.
The guy who sat down next to the blonde noticed Gohan before walking over to him. "Yo, I don't recognize you," Said the guy, Gohan just looked at him before talking.
"I am new in town," said Gohan, the guy nodded before taking Gohan's glass before downing it.
"That's compensation," said the guy as his buddy who was the one who kissed the girl Gohan heard was called bell looked to Gohan before laughing.
"You going to buy me one too?" Asked the guy who sat next to the brunette Bell.
"Knock it off Matt," said the woman as the other guy - now known as Matt just smiled at her.
"Come on babe, it's always fun to mess with the new guy," said Matt. "Plus he bought Liam a drink, why not me?" Asked the guy as Barry spoke.
"Well, I am not a new guy, lay off my friend," said Barry as Matt just scoffed.
"Whatever," said Matt as Liam laughed at Matt.
"Lol, you're such a bitch" Laughed Liam. "Just do what I did and just take the next drink, he won't do shit," said Liam as Matt just laughed and nodded.
"I was going to" Laughed Matt as Bell hit his arm.
"Quit being an asshole Matt," said Bell as Mia just shrugged.
"They are boys it will never stop." Said Mia as she kissed Liam on the cheek, feeling frustration build up she just continued sipping her drink, Gohan actually couldn't believe he was slightly attracted to her, sure she was beautiful but she was with an asshole of disproportionate levels, said a lot about her character already.
Gohan just shook his head he didn't want to fight humans, how pathetic would the fight be?
A song started and Bell suddenly freaked out. "I love this song The Kid Laroi - Wrong! Matt let's go dance!" Said Bell loudly over the music he grumbled but followed her, Liam and Mia followed soon after the beat dropped and everyone on the dance floor lost their minds.
Gohan's glass vibrated before he started bobbing his head to the song, Barry noticed and started laughing. "Who would have known a Mobius-level deity likes Pop Rap!" Said Barry as Gohan just scratched the back of his head, downing his shot in one go, he felt a really strong warm liquid assault his throat, he just forced it down before looking at Barry's grinning face.
"I don't know whose song this is but it definitely is a vibe." Gohan bobbed his head, Barry put his glass down as the beat dropped again and made the rock-on-hand sign.
"That's the Kid Laroi for you." He answered as Gohan coughed.
"Strong ain't it!" Laughed Barry as Gohan nodded the next shot came. "Come on the night is young!" Said Barry as Gohan just nodded and downed that glass as well.
"By the way what is Mobius-level?" Gohan asked and Flash shrugged.
"Just a term for gods we have, the higher it is the more dangerous they are but we have never actually come across one before, we knew that you guys existed but your pantheon tends to not come down to our plane because it would be pointless, Mobius is very high up there but not the highest, the list is a little long but you rank somewhere in the top three, weaker gods do because they can gain power from siphoning from the universe or ancient artifacts," Flash explained.
"Perhaps but how much power can they even draw from a universe? Sure it's renewable but it would be in drips and drabs." Gohan answered.
"Well, that's because while it may be drips and drabs to you it is enough to rule certain sides of the galaxy or…dominate the will of all sentient and sapient races," Barry answered.
Gohan nodded that sounded like a power no one person should ever possess, 'Would that work on me?' he pondered.
When the song ended Bell, Matt, Mia, and Liam returned Matt walked up to Gohan. "Did you fucking drink my shot!?" Asked Matt.
"It was never your drink to begin with!" Gohan answered.
"Well I was pretty clear earlier you were getting me a drink," said Matt as Gohan smiled. 'Humans…such fragile creatures but so bold…kind of funny.' He thought to himself. "Haha.." He let it slip.
"Why? Am I on a date with you?" Said Gohan as Barry burst out laughing and Liam accidentally snickered Bell looked at Matt before she looked in another direction like it was suddenly interesting.
She wanted to laugh so bad but she had to hold it in Mia on the other hand just let it rip she was turning blue with laughter, Gohan, on the other hand, picked up the next shot as it was placed in front of him, he didn't want Matt taking it.
Matt furiously tried to smack the drink out of Gohan's hand but failed miserably instead he hit the edge of the table smashing a glass.
The pill made him a bit drowsy but his motor functions still worked, the pill and the alcohol were affecting him a lot but not enough.
Barry grew a little anxious as he watched the interaction he had no idea how Gohan would handle the situation. "I am telling you, man, you don't want to do this," said Barry as Matt yelled.
"Wasn't talking to you!" Yelled Matt. "You and me outside! I will teach you a lesson you won't forget!" Said Matt as Gohan looked at Barry who slowly shook his head.
"Don't fight him, the consequences will be really bad," Barry said.
'Fight?' Gohan wondered as he tried to imagine fighting this human with even a tiny fraction of his strength, the end results looked like scorch marks.
'I am a god now, do I even need to move from my seat to level this solar system…' He stared at his hand and turned to Matt.
"Say…I will give you one more chance before I put you to sleep just sit down and pretend like it never happened." Gohan offered as he downed another glass.
"Matt…" Bell started, she didn't know why but the way his friend was trying to dissuade him from fighting seemed like he was more worried for Matt than anything else.
"Shut up!" He said as he walked up to Gohan and threw a punch.
It happened so fast that the group didn't even see it happening as Matt's punch was parried and Gohan was on his feet and Matt was on the floor borderline unconscious.
"Matt!" The group called out as Liam looked at him angrily and froze in place as they looked at Gohan who was staring at them with red glowing eyes.
"Take your friend…he's just unconscious, I made sure not to hurt him," Gohan said as he took his seat again and drank another glass.
They just stared at him as his eyes returned to normal - Barry breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're a metahuman?" Liam asked as Barry decided to step forward. "He is a victim of the particle accelerator accident…" Barry answered. "Please just leave no one was hurt."
"Sorry…about this…" Liam said. 'I know more than anyone how many lives the particle accelerator destroyed, my family…' He thought.
"You alright? Please be alright!" Asked Bell as Matt groaned before he slurred his words.
"I…am…afreght…" Said Matt as she sighed. "Thank god…"
'Who is he…?' She thought as the glowing red eyes that seemed to stare right into her soul echoed in her mind, her left hand was trembling slightly.
When the group of people left Barry sat next to Gohan. "You good?" He asked, those eyes of his were on reply in his head.
"If you're worried that I might nuke everything in sight because of some normal people then you have the wrong idea about me." Gohan smiled at him. "It was funny to watch though." He laughed.
"I can imagine it feels like an ant yelling at you." Barry joked.
"Not an ant, I value human lives so I don't see humans or living creatures as insignificant," Gohan answered. "We all have a part to play, big or small."
Barry nodded. "You know what Gohan…you're alright."
Gohan chuckled. "I better be." He laughed. "Besides if I had to put my power to scale then an ant is way too big for a comparison, more like a quark, you know what that is right?"
Barry nodded. "Well I'm a scientist, I would be embarrassed if I didn't."
Once the night was over Gohan was back in the watchtower trying to walk straight, he smelt like alcohol and he looked like he had gone through a shredder, Superman and Green Lantern walked past Gohan and Barry as they flip-flopped to the rooms.
"That's the guy?" Asked Green Lantern as Superman nodded. "Hard to believe." Said GL as Superman shrugged.
"Well he is, but Bruce told me he isn't going to try and join the league, he wants to become a civilian," Said Superman as GL raised an eyebrow.
"That's new…usually they would be sent packing or they join the league." Said GL as Superman nodded.
"He can't be left out in the universe, we could die and not even realize that it was his blast." Said Superman as GL nodded, they just continued their walk and conversation. "So he has that much raw energy?"
"Crazy I know."
Gohan dropped on his bed before falling asleep, one thing was certain he sure did have fun. 'I made the right decision…' He thought.
