Gohan went to the hanger and saw Diana waiting for him as she frowned at her phone. "You alright?" Gohan asked as she looked up at him.
"Ah…yes, just talking to my friend Steve." She answered as she put her phone away. "He told me the United Nations wants a report on the disturbances and he wants to know who your are." She as Gohan raised a curious eyebrow.
"You see when that angel arrived and attacked you released a large quantity of energy that was detected by every space agency on earth, they are all curious as to who you are so if you do not mind would you come with me to the United Nations general assembly, they would like to discern whether or not you are a threat to the earth." She said unsure as to how Gohan would respond but he just smiled and nodded.
"Your earth is far more aware than my own in that regard." Gohan said as they boarded the jet.
"Did your world not care for deep space threats?" She asked as Gohan shook his head.
"No, they cared we just had one king who just so happened to be an animal." She was bewildered at the statement as Gohan chuckled. "My world was very diverse, humans were not the only species to evolve so we have a lot of anthropomorphic people." He explained she nodded in amazement.
"That sounds amazing." As Gohan nodded. "Yep and we also had very little crime because everyone was looked after very well so we only ever needed a normal police station to handle crime although from what I heard that very nearly backfired with the red ribbon army."
Diana nodded, she was impressed at what she heard. "Red ribbon army?" She asked as Gohan nodded as they took off towards earth. "Uhm, the closest comparison I can make even if it's wildly inaccurate is they are your worlds Nazi regime, they both wanted global conquest but in terms of military strength the red ribbon army was far ahead with android machines that eventually reached a level of strength that would be stronger than my Super saiyan form but at the time they were unrivaled, this specific android was called Cell, he nearly destroyed my earth and killed millions of people." Gohan explained as they arrived.
Diana listened intently she was honestly really intrigued. "You must have many stories to tell." She said as she looked at him. "I would love to listen to them all, I love tales of valor, bravery and camaraderie." She said as Gohan nodded, she was the second person to take an interest in his past, well she is the first to want to hear all of it.
'Okay, to the hell with it! If Diana is interested in me I will try as well but I hope I don't make a fool of myself.' He thought to himself as Videl flashed in his mind. 'I never got to see where her and I could go but now that she is gone I know she would want me to be happy and I won't be scared…I don't know how long Diana will be in life I won't make the mistake of not asking her out like I did with Videl.' He thought to himself as he looked at Diana.
"If that's the case I am sure you have plenty of your own stories." Gohan responded to which she smiled at him.
"Of course! I am Diana of Themyscira! I have not just my own tales to tell but that of my homeland it is rich with history!" She said proudly.
"I look forward to hearing more of it." He said as the jet landed in an empty alley as both he and Diana exited the jet and exited the alley surprising the people.
When they got close to the campus Diana stopped and waved as Gohan turned and waved. "Don't go too far, I'll be quick." He said as she just chuckled and nodded.
"Same as yesterday I will be waiting." She said as she watched Gohan enter and as she turned to leave she came face to face with Bell who was surprised to see her again.
"Miss Isabella." Diana said as Bell just flustered.
"Wonder woman! Nice to meet you again." Bell said as Diana smiled.
"Likewise." As she walked past her.
Gohan exited thirty minutes later. 'For an Honours degree that was really easy.' He thought as he shrugged. 'Oh well.' He turned and made his way towards Diana's energy.
"Diana." He greeted as she turned to him but another person he didn't recognize was with her.
"Lord Gohan." She addressed him formally as the man eyed her before visually patting Gohan down, he was slightly taller than him.
"You must be the god Diana was telling me about." He said as he stretched his hand out, Gohan nodded and shook his hand.
"Yes and you are?" Gohan asked with a smile.
"I am Steve Trevor, Diana's United Nations liaison." He answered as Gohan nodded. "I take it Diana was tasked to look after you?" He asked as Gohan nodded. 'Not exactly but let's go with that.' He thought to himself.
"There was an emergency assembly to discuss the recent tremors and minor earthquakes that have struck the earth, usually this wouldn't happen but due to the frequency of it and the energy readings that was detected they couldn't ignore it." Trevor clarified as he eyed Gohan before looking to Diana.
"We should get going they are waiting for us." He said as she nodded.
"The core members of the Justice League will be present during the meeting as this includes them and their input on the situation will be very useful." Trevor said as they made their way towards the invisible jet.
At the general assembly hundreds of men and women were seated as the head spoke. "This emergency meeting, though rushed is a necessary so I would appreciate it if we could remain on the same page, leader of the Justice League Batman step forward." Batman was then seen as he stepped up and looked at the camera before looking back at the head.
"This being you speak of? Your report of it suggests he is god from an alternate dimension? He was engaged in mortal combat with a god of destruction you say?" The man asked as Batman nodded. "Seeing as you have the most knowledge on him, we need to know whether or not you think he is trustworthy enough to be left unchecked?" The man asked as Batman finally was given the chance to speak.
"Your honor, while he is roaming around freely Wonder Woman has been by his side at all times and I have had him under 24/7 surveillance, his freedom is nothing more than a façade because, you, me and everyone in this room understands that leaving someone like that unchecked is foolish however we have come to an understanding with him that if he is to be here he will be tracked at all times and with an escort for the foreseeable future as many in the room nodded in understanding as another member spoke, she was none other than Ursala van der Leyan herself - The President of the European Commission.
(Her name is incorrect on purpose because I am not going to use the real name of the President.)
"You have done well in that regard however even if he is under surveillance how are we to know he won't suddenly go on a killing spree?" She asked as others nodded, this was a reasonable question.
"This question is simple to answer, to put it in his own words if he wanted to destroy the world he would have done so and there would be absolutely nothing we can do to stop him." Batman said as a few gasps escaped from the members while some were immediately angered by this.
"Does he not take us seriously? Not even Superman is bold enough to say something like that!" Another member said angrily.
Superman stepped forward. "If I may?" He said as the head of the assembly nodded. "To put it in simpler terms he isn't a bad person however to think that he would care about what anyone thinks is unrealistic, look at it from a broader perspective, he isn't a being that belongs to this plane of existence, he is a god that can not only wipe out our planet but casually destroy our entire universe we don't even know the true depth of his power, he didn't come here of his own volition either as I am sure you read in the report that his earth was destroyed by another god one far more powerful than even him, we aren't dealing with another person, this is something that can only be handled by gods that rule over existence." Superman ended as he stepped back.
There was a silence as more people started squirming uncomfortable as suddenly a voice called out. "Wonder woman of Themyscira, Steve Trevor and Lord Gohan have arrived and are entering the building!"
The doors opened and everyone turned to look at the three enter, they came to a standstill as murmuring started, the head of assembly silenced everyone and cleared his throat.
"Lord Gohan please step forward." Gohan obliged as he stepped forward, he wasn't particularly worried about it but he was worried that they would tell him to leave.
"What are your intentions with our planet?" The question was short and simple but it was straight forward.
Gohan cleared his throat as he spoke. "Esteemed leaders of the world and those watching at home, I come from a different plane, the specifics of which I am bound by celestial law to not reveal I do not want to give you all false information but I can only tell you that I am not interested in harming your world or your people I am just here due to an…unfortunate event that occurred in my home universe." He said as silence fell on them.
"How are we supposed to trust someone we know nothing of?" Another member asked as others nodded.
Gohan himself internally nodded his presence was certainly a frightening thing for those far weaker if he had to swap positions he would be Beerus and they would be a normal civilization fearing for their lives, luckily though he wasn't Beerus and he could sympathize.
"Unfortunately I can't do much about that, I have already agreed to be tracked at all times and Wonder woman has been kind enough to escort me." Gohan said trying to explain.
Amanda Waller spoke next. "In fact there is a way." She said as she looked at Gohan and looked around the room. "I am sure many will agree to this otherwise authorizing your stay on planet earth will be impossible." She said as Batman narrowed his eyes.
"Solitary confinement, you may not be able to tell us about the celestial laws but we can gather valuable information on you and how to stop you should you try and kill us all, extensive testing will be needed but of course this can only be done with your consent and we will share this information with all allied nations of course." She said many people sat forward surprised by this.
Diana did not like that at all. "So you wish to turn a god into a guinea pig!?" She asked as she stepped forward.
"Stay your tongue Diana of Themyscira this is not a conversation you can casually enter without approval from the head of the assembly or those high enough to grant you speech." She said as Diana clenched her jaw and was about to talk but Batman shook his head silencing her.
"And if you suggest your lasso it would also be denied as this being is a god and could be able to lie straight through it effortlessly." She finished. "Now Lord Gohan what is your choice."
Gohan closed his eyes and thought. 'I could say yes, but I could have a gero situation on my hands again.' He thought to himself.
"I would agree to this, however, back in my universe there was a scientist who did exactly as you suggested and he created a bio android, at the time I was still very young and far weaker so my father was the primary subject without his knowledge might I add and would you like to know what was the result of that?" He asked. "I will agree to your conditions however, if you are willing to understand the risk of giving an unstable being such power, even a sane and stable person would eventually question why they are following orders from normal people, it could take years but it will happen, beings born with power do not suffer this affliction as you can see, Superman, Wonder woman, Super girl, Power girl, they all were born that way and protect earth to this day." Gohan said as he continued.
"As for the bio android I mentioned earlier, he went to kill his creator and absorbed his siblings for more power, to become…perfect, he was known as Perfect Cell and he massacred millions of people before he was eventually stopped by my father." Gohan said, Goku definitely played a massive role even if Gohan delivered the final blow.
"If you agree to the aftermath then yes I will become your lab rat." Gohan said as he got a cold look in his eyes as he stared at Amanda. "But I made it clear to Batman that I would not be joining the Justice League for the foreseeable future until I maybe change my mind but if your contingency turns on you I will not defend your world because I came in peace and you burnt it down because you could not believe someone who could snap his fingers and destroy your galaxy." Gohan said as silence fell over them.
"That will be our choice to make." Amanda said as she eyed many of the members in the room, she had them in her pocket she held majority of the power in the room even if she wasn't the head. "Those in favor of the movement raise your hand." As over half the room raised their hands as she smiled.
"You don't mind if we take our precautions?" She asked as Gohan sighed and nodded as officers walked up to him and placed a box over his hands effectively cuffing Gohan.
Many of the league just watched in anger at the sight but before they could continue a voice echoed in the hall. "This will not do, such disrespect to a god of destruction candidate will not do." As the cuffs broke and fell to the ground.
Vermont appeared in the hall floating as Gohan looked at him surprised. "Vermont?" He asked as Vermont shook his head in disappointment.
"I have seen many worlds from many universes but this world sure is brazen." He said. "I have come for you my lord, I have spoken to my father the Grand Minister of the omniverse and he has approved your position." Vermont answered as Gohan's eyes widened.
Amanda spoke. "How dare you enter these halls without notice!" She said as Vermont just glanced at her. "Mortal woman you'd best stay your tongue when gods converse, this is not a conversation you can casually enter." He said with a smile.
"If my lord cannot be allowed to remain than I have no choice but to remove him from your world, even if he comes with no intention of harming you, you still have the face to ask him to bend to such disrespect, you overestimate your world not even the Grand Supreme Kai would deny him access to the sacred world of the Kais yet here you are…" Vermont said as he landed. "Normally mortals would erect statues in honor that a deity has chosen your world to live on but you spit in his face." He shook his head.
"The god of creation would be very displeased with your attitude to their superior and should they find out, your world might incur their wrath but seeing as my lord has taken a liking to this earth I will let it slide." As he walked up to Gohan who just looked at him a bit surprised.
