We came smashing through a wall knocking down a few of the grunts as we interrupted the team of Hugo Strange, Bane, and Black Mask. With how most of their crews were diminished over time, they would soon be pushed completely out of New York so they were going to work together to make dents in the remaining crime families.
At least that was their plan before we barged in and ruined it. Barbara tossed herself at Black Mask launching him out an open window while Starfire picked up Bane who pounded on her back before she smashed through a wall. A dozen batarangs flung out knocking the guns out of the rest of the henchmen and Hugo’s hands.
“Give it up Hugo! There’s no place for fossils like you anymore.” Instead of picking up their guns, the grunts all rushed at me letting me fight them in hand to hand. Seeing as I was outnumbered I pulled out my collapsible staff and put it together before they reached before beating the tar out of them. Wham Shazzam Kaplow Zham Special Dick punch
With that, I defeated all of them. It was very lucky that Hugo stood by doing nothing instead of picking up his gun or running away. I casually walked towards him as he suddenly reached over and pulled a lever dropping a giant metal cage down right where I was. As I looked down I could now see a giant X where the cage would land that I was standing on.
He began gloating and taunting me. “Hehehe. It seems that Bruce hasn’t taught you to watch your feet, Dick. We’ll find out why after I put you to sleep and scan your thoughts.” He held up a giant hypnosis wheel and I could only chuckle at him. The smile fell off his face as he asked. “Why are you laughing?” I could only smirk as I told him. “Because there are two beautiful women standing behind you, well sitting and leaning, but you understand right?”
Hugo turned with the giant hypnosis wheel still in his hands as he looked at Barbara first. She bites into an apple before saying. “Sorry, we were eating before we got the call about this. Don’t mind me, I got my guy.” Turning towards the hole that Koriand’r was leaning against against the wall before asking. “You need help with this guy honey?”
I finished cutting the hole into the cage with my welding torch as I kicked out the piece. “No, you two provided a great distraction already. It’s over Hugo! Let’s not keep playing this ga-.” Before I could finish my sentence one of his guards had gotten back up and shot me in the back. I felt the cold sting as I reflexively flung a batarang in his direction before falling to the ground unconscious.
When I woke up I wasn’t sure how much time had passed. Kori and Barb were both hovering over him with tears in their eyes. “Just hold on Dick. The ambulance is on the way.” I passed out again before coming too because of Barbara’s shouting. “He’s losing too much blood! He won’t make it if we wait for an ambulance! Do you think you can fly him to the hospital?”
Kori did the math on how long it would take to reach before she shook her head. “It will take too long…” Barbara grabbed something from her utility pouch and right before I passed out I heard her last words. “Take his pants off.”
When I woke up I felt… Well, it didn’t feel like I was shot and cold from a lack of blood. No, I actually felt good… No great! As I inhaled I could smell both girls around me and as I turned my head I could hear the muscles contract. As I blinked I could even hear my eyes blink. My eyes looked at Barbara as if it was the first time seeing her.
The tiny freckles she left behind were now visible since she stopped using makeup. I knew her eyes were blue but now that I looked I could see a slight tint of green in them as well. Even her pores were visible until I unfocused on them looking at the concern on her face. “Are you okay?” She spoke and it sounded like she was practically right next to my head. Someone sneezed a block away as I heard a car honk at the red light on the corner and a car crash two streets away.
My head kept snapping at all the noises before Barb spoke up again. “You’ll get used to the heightened sense… This was the only thing I could think of doing that could save your life… He gave me the U.S.S. serum to use on you just in case. I’m sorry Dick but you’re an enhanced now.” It was intense. I could even hear their hearts beating in their chests as Barbara’s sped up as if she was worried.
“It’s… It’s fine Barb. Whatever you had to do to keep me alive… It’s going to take aw-.” Another bullet was fired, this time Dick heard the gun cocking and turned towards the gunman. Another henchman fired in his direction not getting the hint that they were having a moment. Dick pulled out his batarang ready to throw before Barbara grabbed his hand and Kori fried the gun after he fired three rounds.
As much as he wanted to, he was lying on his butt with one of his hands being held, he couldn’t dodge. All three bullets struck him… And besides a tinge of pain, they just crumpled right on his skin, not even penetrating his body. Still confused Barbara explained. “You throw that batarang right now you’d put a hole through him from the strength difference. You’re going to have to learn how to control it before we can go on any patrols in the future.”
Kori started clapping and both Barb and I looked at her in confusion before she spoke. “If he’s stronger that means I don’t have to hold back when we have sexual interactions anymore. I don’t have to worry about breaking his pelvic bone like the first time we had sex!” We sat in stunned silence before both Barbara and I began laughing.
Barbara rubbed a tear from her eye, sad tears becoming happy at some point. “Yeah, I hadn’t thought about it like that.” Neither had I. To be fair, I loved both my girlfriends but both were enhanced. It meant while they could share me, both had to be careful so I didn’t even up too hurt to perform my boyfriend duties for the next girl.
I was now suddenly excited for a completely different reason than my sudden boost in strength. Kori helped me up while we handcuffed the rest of the henchmen and three villains. Even the test of my strength to see if I would be injured punching a brick wall, my hand just went straight through it. Well, now I’m glad I didn’t throw that batarang. Both were now giving off signals that I could read with my new senses. I knew I’d be testing my new body in a fairly unorthodox method in the near future.
