Green-Eyed Monster
I should’ve asked him to bring back my body wash; the showers only came with bar soap. Really? The superheroines were goddesses and whatnot; you meant to tell me that they actually washed their bodies with plain bar soap?! Well, at least it was still in the box and smelled nice…
The open shower area proved that the women were not shy about their bodies; there were no actual stalls but high-powered showerheads installed in intervals along the tiled walls. Even though it was completely empty, I went towards the very back where there was a wall on one side and a bench on the opposite side. I liked how it was around a corner, giving at least five women their privacy. Well, it would definitely give the Martian and me some!
The streams of hot water hit me hard; it made me wonder how I could get one installed in my own bathroom! I closed my eyes as the water gave me a much-needed massage. I didn’t think about my troubles. I thought about how nice it felt to let loose and dance. Wally was the best dance partner I ever had! I had an amazing one back in North Carolina but he failed in comparison to Wally! I wasn’t joking about dancing with him every Saturday; it cleared my mind… and looking into that idiot’s green eyes wasn’t bad, to be honest! It was no wonder the women were all over him! He was definitely right about one thing: he was sexy and handsome! And then… he tried to kiss me. Or was he simply giving me that lustful look of his… H-Hey… why are you even thinking about him?! Sorry! Venus was right; I couldn’t afford to fall for that trap! Wally was just a friend.
I moaned as I felt a slight pressure on my hips, a smile crept its way onto my face. Those invisible hands roamed up to my breasts, squeezing and cupping them lightly. His arms came into focus as he lightly pinched at my already hardened nipples. I leaned back, excited to feel him as his cock pressed firmly on my backside. His hands stopped torturing my nipples and moved to my hips, squeezing them with some sort of urgency. His touch would never get old; I would always tingle even at the thought of it!
“You’re not supposed to be here…” I couldn’t help but to smile. His deep chuckle sent more chills throughout my body; it also didn’t help matters that his hand was now in between my thighs! I immediately spread my legs for him, no questions asked, and those fingers went to my clit. Another shudder and moan escaped me; this definitely wasn’t gonna take long! Could you blame a girl? I had two nice bodies pressed against me in one day, within thirty minutes of each other! Umm… what did we say about thinking about him…? Oh, yeah… right!
“Who will stop me?” his nose grazed my earlobe as he slipped a finger inside of me. My toes curled as I tried to think straight, to at least come up with a response to him being such a cocky smart ass! Who was I kidding; it turned me on to hear him talk like that!
I gasped as he inserted another finger and guided me by my hip to rock against them. A low, satisfied rumble came from deep within his chest that vibrated my whole body. I needed no help from him as I tried to catch his rhythm. Before I could, he removed his fingers; Venus and I both pouted!
“W-We’ll get caught…”
“Do you honestly believe that?” I could tell that he was smiling. I didn’t! The only person I was worried about was Tabs and she was gone. If anyone walked in, either J’onn would make himself invisible… or erase their mind. I tried not to think of the latter as he turned me around, “Did you enjoy your time with Wally?” he surprised me. Oh, my God; don’t answer that! W-What…? Change the subject; hell, fucking kiss him for all I care! But don’t answer that truthfully! I didn’t know what was going on with Venus but I saw nothing wrong with telling him the truth. Wasn’t like I could lie to him as it was!
“Of course. I always do…” for some reason, my answer made Venus cower. Oh, holy hell; this is on you! I didn’t… wait, what? What was wrong with telling the tru…
My back was pressed against the cold tiles and I immediately arched away. J’onn pinned me back against the wall, his eyes heavy with lust. He wrapped my legs around his waist and my breath was taken away as he abruptly entered me. I was so confused. The foreplay usually lasted much longer than that… and was romantic! This was a bit too fast and a tad too rough… but, boy did I tingle with delight! I clenched around his girth even as he began to slowly pull out, producing an actual growl from him! It was something I couldn’t control; I bit my lip and gave him an apologetic look.
I don’t know what it was about that look I gave him but it did something to him! His eyes practically glowed as he slammed into me once more. I winced and savored the feeling all the same; it was so weird! It was painful but mesmerizing at the same time. I cringed at the fact that it felt as though he wanted to split me open… but then I welcomed it. At least my body did as it spasmed with every motion. The way J’onn went about, it felt as though he was angry at me. While I tried not to whimper with every thrust, I also tried to figure out what the hell did I do to make him mad. You’re a fucking idiot for someone to be a physics professor! What did I do? Everything was fine until he asked about… Wally……
I blushed furiously as he continued to thrust hard into me; was he… jealous?! I would offer you a cookie but you’d take that as a compliment! But… he didn’t have a reason to be! My eyes widened as he held my stare. Dear gods; the little thoughts I had about Wally! Of course, he knew about them!
I wanted to say something to him, to assure him that he didn’t have to worry about Wally. As handsome and actually sexy as he was, there was absolutely nothing between us! And I had serious doubts that there ever would be! I was pretty sure that he had plenty of women to go to, and it was bad enough I was with a man who had only one other!
My plan was interrupted as J’onn cupped my bottom and made me slide up and down his hard cock. It was a bit of a relief although he continued to give me hard thrusts. I finally let out those terrible whimpers and was rewarded with a smirk. It was a good thing the shower was running; it drained everything out if someone was to had walked in! I would never understand why he liked it when I whimpered or moaned; in my head, it sounded stupid! But, not to him. It was almost as if it egged him on; he gave me quick yet harder thrusts with my every sound!
I had lost track of time as the tingling in my body increased tenfold. The whole thing still felt weird to me. I was supposed to be in pain, to the point of tears; he was definitely a bit too rough for my likings! Then on the other hand, I was on the verge of exploding! The water helped soothe the pain which also set off all of my nerve endings! Another hard thrust and I found myself yelping. Before I could do anything, he had his hand around my throat.
… The only thing that truly registered was shock. Not that his hand was around my throat to the point that he cut off my air; it was the fact that he did it in the first place! What happened next put me in even more shock; I definitely felt his hand around my throat and the feeling that it gave… I came. I knew that he saw the fear and embarrassment in my eyes as my body shook in sick delight. He quickly removed his hand and gave me an apologetic look… until he felt what I did! His eyes slowly widened and all I wanted to do was crawl under a rock! Did I really just cum…?? Venus could do nothing but gawk. We’re… we’re not gonna become one of those types of people… are we…?
At least the move slowed his mad thrusting! But I saw something in his eyes, as though he was planning things out! I was still trembling as he drove deeper into me, thankfully at a slow, excruciating pace! I gasped when I felt his hand around my throat once more and my cheeks warmed when I realized what he planned to do! J’onn applied slight pressure every time he thrusted… until I came yet again! Okay; at least it wasn’t enough pressure to actually choke me! It was a bit tight but I was still able to breathe! That wasn’t the problem, though! It was the fact that I had an orgasm and it wasn’t because of his hitting my spot!
J’onn didn’t try it again; his hands went to mine as he pinned them against the tiles above my head. He planted tender kisses where his hand had wrapped around my throat; I took it as an official apology! He throbbed like crazy as I tried to move along with him. But that tingling sensation was overpowering and I could do nothing but moan along with him. My body stuttered into another orgasm, one that made me breathless. J’onn was still working on my neck when he grunted against it and quickly pulled out.
Finally, I was rewarded with his lips on mine! I moaned with pleasure as I savored the feeling. That was more like it; as much as I actually enjoyed that rough session, it was his tenderness I loved the most! When he didn’t kiss me before, something should’ve told me that I was in for something out the norm! J’onn released my hands as he looked at me. He muttered something; it wasn’t that I didn’t hear him: I didn’t understand him! He gave me a quick kiss and muttered the word, again. A lingering kiss graced my lips before he sighed out the same word. It dawned on me why I didn’t understand: he was speaking in his native tongue.
“Um, J’onn…”
“… Yes…?”
“In English; what did you just say?” I smirked. His entire body stiffened slightly before he gave me a sheepish look. If I hadn’t known better, I would’ve said that the Martian was blushing!
“I’m sorry. I said that I love you…” was it me or did he sound a bit unsure…?

-_-_-_-
…… I was such a bad boy. But in my defense, I had no intention on becoming some sort of peeping Tom! I was trying to do the right thing; I realized that she would need a towel! The plan was to be in and out or at the very least, announce that I was giving her a towel but not trying to be a total perv and sneak glances at her naked body! Don’t get me wrong; the thought occurred to me. And why would that make me a pervert? I was in love with her: it should’ve been natural that I would want to see her naked! That was my argument and I was sticking to it!
So, it was settled! Before I walked in, I cleared my throat loudly. When there was no answer, I peeked in. No one. She was towards the back; there was a faint sound of running water. I made my way there, playing a favorable scenario in my head. She wouldn’t mind me being there, actually summoning me towards her. I blushed at the thought of it! It was a good thing that she wasn’t a super; I would get seriously hurt for what I was doing!
I stopped right at the corner and was about to clear my throat again until I heard a slight moan. Okay; she was enjoying her shower. Couldn’t blame her; those power showerheads worked wonders on aching muscles! I knew that our dance session wasn’t all that strenuous but what she was used to failed in comparison to those showerheads!
“You’re not supposed to be here…” her words made my heart stop. Shit; how did she know I was there?! My first instinct was to run; my second one was to explain myself! I did neither as I heard… J’onn’s voice? Curiosity got the best of me; I took a quick peek around the corner. Sure enough, there was Big Green with his hand in between her legs. Doc looked as though she was on cloud nine as she rocked along with his motions. God, why was this so hot…? Already, I ached; I shamelessly blamed it on the fact that I finally saw Jamila naked. Not a bad sight, actually…
I had no business watching them but I couldn’t help it! I throbbed as I stroked myself, savoring the emotions that ran across her face. One day, West; one day, you will make her have those looks. It’ll be you with the smug look and your fingers buried deep inside of her! Fuck; even the thought of it made me so hard!
She mumbled something about getting caught and I had to laugh in my head at that one! If only they knew that this would be the second time I’ve caught them! It was terrifyingly weird how absentminded the Martian got when he was horny. Regardless, a smile was plastered on his face as he turned her around; there was no denying that he had a way around that situation… even if it meant erasing a few minds.
I ducked just in time but froze when my name came out of his mouth. Of all the questions to ask… why that one? When I got the courage to peek around the corner once more, I saw that me and her facial expressions matched; I didn’t know who was more confused! That was until I paid attention to his face. His lustful look was suddenly dark. Why…… I bit my lip to keep from gasping out loud. My plan had worked a little too well; Jamila may had been oblivious but J’onn had caught on… and became jealous.
I had really hoped that she didn’t answer him or at the very least didn’t tell him the truth. But she did and I cringed for her! Whelp; so much for watching them make love! I knew for sure that J’onn would leave her standing there. Or worse, it would turn into a fight. All because we danced… very closely!
My eyes widened when he roughly pinned her to the wall! I was expecting a fight but not a physical one! Yet for some reason, I throbbed. Especially as she gasped when he lifted her legs up and shoved damn near all of his length inside of her. Holy… shit! I had always teased Tabby and said that she liked it rough. But I was in awe as Jamila confusedly took all that J’onn threw at her. She had a mix of emotions: confusion, pleasure and pain… and I enjoyed it all! I quickly became rock hard and stroked to their rhythm.
His thrusts were rough and animalistic; it was a miracle that she wasn’t howling in pleasure/pain! Her soft moans and whimpers turned me on so much; I was sure that I would explode before either of them did! He gave her a really hard thrust that made her shriek and what he did next made me want to reveal myself: he put his hand around her throat. I didn’t know if it actually hurt her but she was definitely surprised at the move. So surprised that… she came. It was my turn to be in complete awe! Damn; never in my wildest dreams did I think that Jamila actually liked it that rough!
… in my wildest dreams…? Sure enough, I was aching like crazy, almost wishing that he would keep his hand around her throat! Because she wasn’t complaining, especially if it was enough to make her cum! As if he read my mind (which I had mixed feelings about. If he did, that meant he knew that I knew but enjoyed putting on a show for me… which would be awkwardly hot…), he put his hand around her throat again and slowed the pace down to a crawl. Watching her eyes, I assumed that every time he drove inside of her, he applied pressure. I blushed as I felt my orgasm building; this wasn’t supposed to turn me on like this! He could’ve been hurting her! He was playing around with her air, for Christ’s sakes! Instead of beating my meat into oblivion, holding in my own moans, I should’ve yelled at him: HEY, STOP DOING THAT, YOU FUCKING GREEN MONSTER; YOU’RE CHOKING HER!!!
But deep down I knew that she was in no real danger; her cheeks became rosy as her toes curled tightly and her body trembled. She came… again! It was all I could take; I exploded and it took all of my will power not to scream out in satisfaction! I needed to leave. I just couldn’t; they both moaned as she came for the third time and he finally released. I quickly cleaned myself up and then realized that I used the towel that was meant for her. As J’onn mumbled something, I rushed off to grab another towel. My heart was still unsteady as I made my way back to my “hiding spot” and cleared my throat. Doc gasped and I swallowed my heart back down!
“… Uh… doc…”
“Wally?!?!”
“I-It’s not what you think, I swear!” I put my arm around the corner, holding the towel, “Thought you would need a towel…”
“Fuck, Wally; how long you’ve been there?!” her voice was filled with panic. I bit my lip to keep from laughing and blushing all the same!
“Just now… I’m sorry!”
“… Oh. Damnit; couldn’t you have gotten a woman to…”
“I’m the only one that was left in the gym!” I didn’t lie about that, “I’m sorry I didn’t want you to walk out dripping wet and naked…” even though I had just seen her have probably the best sex in her life, the idea of her walking around naked searching for a towel was turning me on!
I calmed down when she let out a sigh and I heard her walking towards me.
“… Sorry. T-Thanks…” she grabbed the towel. Alright; mission accomplished! I should’ve just left but I lingered for some reason. I wanted to… talk to her. About what? I had no clue. All I knew was that I didn’t want to leave!
“Can I… ask you something?”
“Uh… depends…”
“Do you want to get something to eat when you get dressed…?” … why did I just ask her out?!
“Are… are you seriously asking me out on a date right now?!”
“W-What?! No! I mean, if that’s what you want to call it, fine! But that just told me that you’ve always wanted me. It’s natural…”
“Oh… my… God…” I smiled as I heard the laughter in her voice.
“Seriously; I figured that you’d be hungry and I know this perfect place in…”
“Thanks… but no, thanks. I’m actually pretty tired. I’m gonna go home after this.”
“Oh. Okay; I was just wondering, that’s all. So… that was fun, right? The dancing and all.”
“Yeah. Yeah, it was. I was being serious about making this an every Saturday thing. Or, when I start feeling down on myself. Is… that okay with you?” she actually had uncertainty in her tone. My smile widened.
“That’s… perfect, Jamila. Whenever you want. We don’t have to dance; we can just sit and talk. I’m your friend, remember?”
“One of my best friends! And my dance partner for life!” I wished I was able to see that smile I knew was planted on her face at that moment. I would have to be satisfied with that; after watching the two, there was no way that I would have a chance with her. A guy could dream, though…
-_-_-_-
That was so close; I could’ve killed Wally! It was a good thing that J’onn had invisibility on his side! I tried not to dwell on if Wally was telling the truth. Kinda figured that he was, that he didn’t see a thing: I didn’t hear anything about it from Tabs! Nevertheless, I knew that we would have to be more careful!
In the meantime, I had to sit myself down and have a serious talk! The stunt that the Martian pulled in the shower was supposed to be downright frightful! But it turned me on… a little too much, and that was the really scary part! Am I secretly a masochist…? I thought about everything he’d done to me that made my skin flush and my body tighten when any sane person, even non-superhero, wouldn’t have responded! Well… not in the way that I had; I was pretty certain that someone else would’ve left him! No one else had done anything like that to me before, and I felt that I had one hell of a wild sex life before I got married!
I didn’t understand it. I remembered when he told me that he didn’t like the degree of dominance displayed in Fifty Shades. But the Martian had bitten me, restrained me, damn near choked me… and every time I thought about it, my panties became slightly damp! It was safe to say that I had problems! Regardless, it was something that I either needed to come to terms with or sit the Martian down as well and have a long talk about!
Our talk… I don’t know if it did a bit of good or not! There were a couple of things that I at least got out of it. One: he never had any intentions of hurting me. When he put his hand around my throat, it really wasn’t supposed to come out as threatening. But, he was being fueled by jealousy and forgot his own strength; something that I kinda figured out on my own! The other thing was something that he had told me before. J’onn only did things to satisfy me. If he saw or sensed that something would reduce me to a blubbering mess, then he was in for the ride! When he felt that I had came from that, it sparked his interest big time: he had no choice but to see if I would have another orgasm (his words…)!
That brought up another thought: the word that he uttered when we were done. Something told me not to believe him; that he didn’t really tell me that he loved me in Martian. It was unfortunate because there was no other way to find out what it really meant: J’onn was the only Martian on Earth! The word lingered in my brain to the point where I memorized it. Every time I thought about it, it would slide off my tongue. It was beginning to be absentmindedly… no matter where I was or who was around me…
“What…?”
“… Hmm…?” I had completely forgot that Tabs was sitting next to me!
“What’s yours?”
“What?”
“You just said ‘mine’ in Martian…”
“… I did…? Is that what it means?” I would be lying if I said that I had to pretend to be surprised; this was no act! Tabs laughed and looked at me.
“Yeah! Don’t tell me you two were fighting over Oreos!”
“No. He had mumbled it… and it was driving me crazy about what it meant!” I was actually proud that I didn’t lie about that!
“And he was holding a package of Oreos…” she couldn’t stop laughing, “He’s a fucking addict, you know! He says he ain’t but yeah, okay! Did you know he had withdrawal symptoms after going a couple of days without ‘em?!”
“A couple of days?!”
“Yep! Was cranky as hell! It was a miracle he lasted a whole week! By that time, I wanted to force ‘em down his throat!” she continued. I had to laugh at the situation but it didn’t stop me from being in shock. The Martian was more jealous than I thought! I had a feeling but never in a million years did I imagine it was that strong! He claimed me as his. Didn’t matter that his girlfriend was still giggling away right next to me! In fact: we were both his… and he wasn’t in the mood to share with anyone!
Tabs finally calmed down and slouched into the sofa.
“What we gonna do with our Martian…?” it came out so nonchalantly, I didn’t catch it at first! My eyes finally widened and turned to her.
“W-What? ‘Our’ Martian?!”
“Well, not in that sense, perv! I mean… he could be your cuddle buddy…”
“I… wait… who are you…?” I eyed her. Tabs laughed.
“Seriously! You know there’s folks who are professional cuddlers?! J’onn could be yours!”
“Again: who are you and where’s Tabitha…? J’onn, this ain’t funny!” I pointed a finger at her. She roared with laughter as she pulled out her phone. I gawked as she showed me a short video on “professional cuddlers”.
“See? Ain’t nothing sexual about it. J’onn could definitely do that for you! You two are best friends so it wouldn’t be weird, right?”
“Actually…”
“What? It’ll be weird…? But… you need to be cuddled. Oh, my God; he could literally wrap around you and it’ll be the most relaxing thing in the world!” … she was serious. She wanted this to happen. I didn’t know how to take it because she had no idea that we were already doing more than cuddling! And there she was, as serious as a heart attack, suggesting that J’onn be my cuddle buddy! Like, there was nothing wrong with the idea of her boyfriend holding me close. It made me wonder if she seriously wouldn’t mind the two of us having sex! No; that was totally different. What I saw on the video was more for relaxation and comfort… and a bit on the creepy side of grooming! I shook my head and laughed.
“I seriously don’t think J’onn would like the idea! I don’t need to be cuddled right now…”
“… Everyone needs to be cuddled…” she half mumbled, actually let down! I smirked as I wrapped my arms around her.
“There!”
“Quit it!” she laughed and pushed me away. We both settled down and just looked at the TV, “So… ready for this little trial?”
“Not really.” I admitted. In a little over a week, Tabs and I had to make our appearances aboard Watchtower. Somehow, her hearing was combined with a part of mine. It made sense, actually: because her actions were the reason why Albert had full and sole custody. My lawyers wanted to prove that she acted on her own free will and that it was a lapse of judgment. They told me that it was highly possible that I could get the restraining order lifted (getting the sole custody bit changed to shared would be handled in actual court, however). I wasn’t ready because there was a chance that my own mental state would be brought up; something told me that he would do all that he could to keep me away from the children.
“It’ll be okay. The worst that could happen? I gotta leave the Justice League.”
“It’s only supposed to be a suspension. And you’ve been on an unofficial one for a while, now.”
“I know. But, that could be the worst case scenario, you know? I fucked up; I could’ve killed Al…”
“But, you didn’t and that should account for something!”
“… It’s only cuz Wally was there…”
“Look; let Clark and the others decide on that, okay? Honestly? The worst case scenario would be that not only you get suspended for a while longer but you go through rehab again. Not too bad of a deal.”
“You’re right. I hope…” she sighed.
I knew what Tabs was trying to do; get my mind off the worst case scenario for myself. And I found myself wanting badly to have one of my best friends beside me while I sat through the procedure. But, two of them were sitting in their rightful spots in the main conference room while the other faced them. I was left to fidget nervously beside one of my lawyers, Ms. Wright who gave me stern looks every so often. She finally put her hand on my shaking leg to keep it still.
“Stop giving him the satisfaction of seeing you so nervous…” she whispered to me. I took a deep but shaky breath and nodded. I couldn't help myself; I glanced over at Albert and his lawyer. They were both stoic but I could tell that he was uneasy and seething. Behind them were my babies. They were staring at me, probably the whole time. When they smiled and Solonia actually gave me a small, quick wave, my eyes welled with tears. I smiled and waved right back; I missed my children!
Superman grabbed everyone's attention, which was only the rest of the founding seven, Tabs, a man who I assumed was a judge, the lawyers, Albert, my children and myself.
"The Justice League was formed in order to help protect the rest of the world. Many of us, if not all of us consider ourselves citizens of Earth and therefore we abide by whatever rules laid in front of us. As founding members, we try to make sure that all of our members abide by the rules and not jeopardize the sanctity of civilian and super human relationships. For the sake of keeping our identities safe, we will refer to everyone by their superhero alias." he nodded towards the judge and lawyers. They gave their silent consent, "A couple of months ago, Nikki Strykher violated that trust we've worked so hard to develop. Upon finding out, she was immediately but unofficially suspended from anything League affiliated, including access to all Justice League facilities. I want to apologize to the parties involved: we did not condone her actions whatsoever." Superman looked at Albert. I knew that it didn't matter to him; the damage had been done. His lawyer stood up.
"While I'm pretty certain that my client accepts your apology, he will be more satisfied if there will be fair disciplinary actions taken." he announced. Superman nodded.
"Understandable. On top of whatever decision we make, we also propose a full restraining order between Ms. Strykher and Mr. Lindsey. She will no longer be allowed to be in his presence unless a member of the…”
“No!” Albert spoke out. His lawyer tried to calm him down, “No; I don’t want her around period! She almost killed me!! And the only thing you want to do is suspend her?! She should be in jail!!” he ranted. What was that saying about someone’s cup runneth over…? His outburst angered me ten times more than it should’ve. I clenched my fists before I stood up.
“Jamila, no…”
“She made one mistake; one fucking mistake! Putting her in jail won’t do a damn thing!”
“Jamila!” Ms. Wright seethed. I yanked away from her grasp.
“Did you forget that she used to protect us?! That we took her in when she had no one else?! I don’t like what she did to you at all! I hate what she did!” I looked over at Tabs who had fresh tears in her eyes, “I hate what you did! Because of what you did, this is the only way I can see my children! You deserve some kind of punishment! B-But… not jail. It’s not like someone told her to do it! It’s not like she had any control over what she did!” I felt like an idiot after I opened my mouth! What good was my little rant going to do? The more I thought about it, the more I realized that Albert was right. She attacked him; it was assault. Suspending her from the League was a PR move. The gods forbid, what if she snapped again and wasn’t under the League’s protection?
The founding members took turns looking at everyone in shock, mainly myself. I held my head down as I sat.
“… Sorry…” I semi-lied. I meant every word that I said; I was sorrier about the timing of it all! Deep down, I wanted to say more. Not towards Tabs and the others but to Albert. Keeping the kids away from me was fucked up; I had nothing to do with the situation! And… I wasn’t a bad mother!
“Is that true? That she doesn’t have any control over her powers?” the “judge-man” asked.
“Nikki was brought aboard to undergo rehabilitation for that problem a few years ago. We assumed the program successful however… we always have a backup plan…” it looked as though it pained Supes to admit that part.
“The problem was never control over her powers. The problem was blind rage.” J’onn corrected.
“I see. Were there any more incidents before this one after rehabilitation?”
“No.” Bruce chimed in. I hadn’t recalled any as well. Well… there was that whole possession thing but… she was possessed so it didn’t count!
“Because Ms. Strykher is a super, sentencing her is out of regular jurisdiction. We can make suggestions and make sure that the punishment does indeed fit the crime.”
“So, because she has powers, she gets away with everything?!”
“No, Mr. Lindsey. She can’t serve regular jail time. As of right now, there is only one place that caters to super power-infused individuals and that’s Arkham Asylum. She’s clearly not insane. Superman was about to propose a full restraining order. I would like for it to be a lifetime restraining order. Nikki Strykher will no longer be allowed in Mr. Lindsey’s presence unless summoned for a hearing involving the two.” the judge suggested. Albert’s lawyer whispered something to him as he rolled his eyes and huffed. The founding members all nodded.
“Fair enough. If all parties are in agreement…” Superman looked over at Albert and his lawyer.
“Yes, so long as there is another punishment suitable…”
“Of course.”
“As far as the case goes with Mrs. Lindsey: I don’t see any solid evidence that she was involved in Ms. Strykher’s decision. The restraining order against Mrs. Lindsey will be lifted, effective immediately.” the judge declared. Ms. Wright gave me a congratulatory pat on my leg.
“Nikki Strykher.” Superman continued. She stood, “We have debated for quite some time as far as how to deal with the situation at hand. We have all agreed that your suspension from anything Justice League affiliated will continue and will be served aboard Watchtower in containment for one year.” Superman announced. Something told me not to let anyone see me gawk; I had caused enough trouble as it was! Tabs noticeably stiffened and by the way his eyes slightly softened, I could tell that she glared at J’onn.
“All of you agreed…?!” her voice quivered. I looked down at my lap and bit my lip to keep from crying.
“You will serve the remainder of your suspension in a containment cell as well as undergo another rehabilitation period. If unsuccessful, you will be banned from the Justice League.” it was weird to hear J’onn so cruel and professional. He spoke to her as if she was just another member and not his girlfriend; I became more irritated by it the more I sat there!
I was so angry, I didn’t realize that the hearing was over until Ms. Wright helped me up. I wanted to do one of two things: hurry home to cry or go up to a certain Martian and slap the taste out of his mouth! As we made our way into the control room, I leaned towards the latter as I narrowed my eyes at the founding members across the way. Before Ms. Wright could say anything, my feet carried me over to the group. J’onn was escorting Tabs to wherever their containment cells were. He stopped and gave me a look. Tabs turned along with him, her hands bound with some sort of blue glowing bracelets; the League’s version of handcuffs. When she looked at me, tears ran down her cheeks. Mine were hot as I quickly embraced her.
“H-Hey. It’s alright. A year’ll pass in n-n-no time…” she choked up. A fucking year! The whole lot agreed to that! Rehabilitation was fine, being suspended was fine! But, they were putting her in jail! Okay, a few moments ago, I was okay with the decision of her being locked up. I really wasn’t but I knew that it was the right, unbiased decision. Now that it was actually happening… and that her own boyfriend agreed to it, it hit me pretty hard.
“I shouldn’t have said nothing! It’s my fault; I’m sorry!” I suddenly remembered my outburst. J’onn huffed… angrily, as he pulled me away from her.
“Would the two of you stop it with all the dramatics?” he lowly hissed. I took in a breath as he glared at me, “She will not be in containment for an entire year!” his tone was still serious and low.
“What…”
“We are being watched so the both of you continue the act.” he instructed but was still glaring at me, “She’s only being contained for a few hours, two days at the most. We had to make the punishment seem harsh in order to pacify everyone at the hearing. Your little outburst was actually perfect…” while it seemed as though he was glaring, I saw a small gleam in his eyes when he mentioned that, “We have to get going. Tabitha, I apologize but I have to treat you roughly until we’re out of eyesight…” he said and turned away from me. He pushed Tabitha away from me as they walked away. I was speechless. When I turned, both lawyers and Albert were sure enough staring. I wiped at my eyes and joined them, clearing my throat.
“I’ll be honest: I’m shocked J’onn’s treating her that way…” Albert had a bit of surprise on his face. I sniffed away the remnants of my tears, trying hard not to smirk! Instead, I huffed and rolled my eyes. Ms. Wright handed his lawyer a folded piece of paper.
“What’s this?”
“My client illegally signed the divorce papers. When your client proposed sole custody of the children, the matter was to be presented to a judge so that they could make the decision whether Mrs. Lindsey is unfit. Only if she was willing to give up parental rights could she sign those papers legally. And… if that was the case, there would be a letter included stating so.” she explained. That made me feel a lot better, especially looking at Albert’s expression!
“Looks like we’ll see each other in court.”
“Wait. I got a question. Who paid for your lawyer?” I could not believe that Albert had the audacity to ask something like that!
“Jamila, you don’t have to answer…”
“None of your fucking business! What the hell kind of question is that?! Can he ask that?!”
“He can ask all that he wants but I’ll advise you not to answer…” Ms. Wright glared at the two. I felt like sticking my tongue out at them! Ms. Wright looked over and her smile returned, “Excuse me for a moment. I can trust you not to say anything to incriminate yourself…?”
“So long as he doesn’t ask me another stupid question…”
“After that little outburst, I’m tempted to take you along with me!” she sighed out but left. I idly watched as she approached Bruce who was in full Batman gear. The two chatted about something and I paid it no mind until I glanced over at Albert. His jaw was slightly slacked as he shot a glare at me. I folded my arms across my chest.
“I’m not answering you…”
“It’s Batman…”
“… What…? You’ve seen Batman before; why are you acting all star struck now?”
“You’ve been sleeping with Batman!” he damn near yelled. My eyes widened.
“WHAT?!”
“Albert, I don’t think now is the time to…”
“… Whenever you’re ready to teleport…” Bruce’s voice was behind me. I blushed for the simple fact that he possibly overheard Albert’s tirade. I could tell that he did; what little of his face he did show, there was some overall astonishment in it! Nevertheless, we followed him to the teleportation pads. I was about to join the three until Bruce put a hand on my shoulder, “I want to speak to you before you leave.” great; what a way to add more to Albert’s suspicions! Sure enough, he narrowed his eyes before the three were teleported. I rolled my eyes.
“Thanks a lot…”
“If we were having an affair, he would need more proof than you having my lawyers. Or even me wanting to speak to you!”
“You’re right.”
“You do know that the sentencing was just for show?”
“Yeah; J’onn cleared it up.”
“We weren’t picking sides on this. But she was already suspended for two months. Even Superman thought that was enough time. She’ll have to go through rehab again which will probably take another month.”
“You think J’onn will cut her some slack this time around?”
“I highly, highly doubt it! I actually feel a bit sorry for her this time! It would’ve been less stressful for her to be suspended!” he smirked. I laughed as I stood on the teleportation pads, “Jamila… this may be none of my business. But, accusations don’t come out of thin air. Are you having an affair with a superhero…?” his question threw me off; I couldn’t help but to widen my eyes, “It wouldn’t be wise to do so right about now.”
“I… I know. But… it’s not with a superhero…” I stressed the “hero” portion. Bruce was one of the best detectives out there; he would’ve quickly found out exactly who I was sleeping around with! I figured that throwing him off would either make it harder for him to find out or shock him entirely to where he wouldn’t want to find out!
The last thing I saw before being teleported back to my house was the noticeable gasp he let out. Mission accomplished!
