Needing a break

After getting some good nights rest, I woke up and trained for 6 hours. I'm slowly getting the upper hand on the recruit and out of ten fights, I have won one. Once I win all 10, I'll move onto a new tougher opponent. As far as my stealth and acrobatics go, it's a work in progress as well.

I was about to give up on the computer operations and hacking. I found it more difficult than the Martial arts. I had 0 talent for it, but it's almost a need in this world. On a better note, I was already done with the beginners lock picking, thievery, and aviation. All three of those I excelled at. I could pick a pocket with ease now, lock pick basic locks, and pilot most space ships and jets.

I am now working on doing different maneuvers and fly patterns in aviation. In lock picking, I am now learning to break into safes and higher end locks, including electronic. I'm starting to think my talents don't lie in Hero work, but Villain work instead. 

With my medical skills, I'm now at the level of basic combat medic. I have a long way to go, but I am still making pretty fast progress. If someone needs stitches, I can give them, but I'm nowhere near the level to perform surgery quite yet.

My Spotify account has picked up a lot since yesterday, at least it will turn into a form of revenue soon. I don't really need money currently, but it's nice to have it and not need it, then to not have it and need it.

Thinking back to the Justice League meeting, it made me think of all the Heroes that exist in this world that don't make an appearance till way later or never really appear at all. I had serious thoughts about forming an early teen titans or Justice league reserves on my own. Billy Batson for example becomes part of the Justice League reserves a lot later and I already have a connection with him, so I could try to recruit him before he would have originally joined. I also had a few other young Heroes that would be good for the team like Static Shock and Plastic Boy.

If I trained them all now and formed the team, In a years time or so, I could create a headquarters for them in another city that needs Hero presence and then convince the rest of the Justice League to issue them missions. Being a mentor to such good Heroes in the future could be good for me in many ways.

With all this work I'm piling on myself, I'll need to set a day of the week that will be a no work day. Tomorrow it is. I couldn't help laughing to myself, I was in dire need of some relaxation time and I didn't want to wait.

Picking up my two way communications device that batman gave us along with the watchtower transmitter, I contacted the watchtower and let them know I would take a shift this afternoon. I could practice the computers operations side of my computers training while there.

After doing my 6 hours of training it was already 11:00, so I thought id grab a bite and visit the kids at the orphanage.

I went to Metropolis and grabbed myself a belly burger meal and then headed towards the water tower, a bit hopeful that I would see that beautiful young blonde again. I'm older than her by at least 5 years and at the early ages that's like like a whole 10 year difference.

She would probably still be in college. Not that I had interest in pursuing her, it's just that every man like myself loves beautiful women and enjoys being around them. She also seemed pretty chill and chill was nice these days.

If she ever wanted to be more later, I wouldn't put up a fight, but I won't be chasing after her and I'm not looking for a a relationship. If she was okay being friends with added benefits, That's the route id go. I was a f*ckboy on my last earth and it seems I'll always be one. I didn't like being tied down to relationships. Maybe later I would consider it, just not now.

Upon arriving at the water tower, she sadly was not there. I ate my lunch in peace and then flew over to the Orphanage. After landing nearby, I walked to the Orphanage doors and was greeted by both Jude and Ms. Gordon.

Upon seeing me Barbara was the first to speak "You seem...taller".

Ms. Jude looked me up and down before also chiming in on my height. "I thought something seemed different with you the last time I saw you, but the alien invasion didn't have me thinking straight enough to figure out what it was. Are you wearing platform shoes dear?"

I chuckled "No, I just started working on my posture, the results surprised me as well"

After saying this, the two stood up straight and puffed out their chest. They both looked silly, but surprisingly enough, they seemed to believe me. I didn't like lying to them, but I couldn't tell them the truth either.

Barbara looked at me silently snickering and her face put on a pout. "Why are you laughing? I find it hard to believe that you grew as much as you did from just fixing your posture, but I also don't think you would lie to us."

Jude nodded along with Barbara's words which made me feel guilty.

I decided to change the flow of conversation. "How have the kids been doing? Have I mentioned I love the way the new Orphanage looks?"

Barbara was aware of what I was doing, but decided not to pursue. "The kids are good, they have been asking if you still want to do the competition? I also was wondering."

"Yes, How about having it at the end of this week? Whoever wins the contest can be in a new song I put on my Spotify. Speaking of which, I never got to hear you sing Ms. Gordon. You had planned to take on the female singers role of the song right? Can I get a demonstration?"

Barbara seemed shy for the first time since meeting her. "My voice isn't that great, but I don't mind singing for you".
