64 Vacation End

I had been training with Telos and Sodam for over a year before the first of my clones had died back on earth. I had expected it, but it was my Hero Clone that had died first. Absorbing his memories of the past year I was happy that I had left. Boring....just boring. Not much really happened. Only one thing happened that was really interesting and that was that a big red monster of a man with accelerated healing and a couple of other strange powers had appeared wounded in Moonlight city with no explanation. 

My Hero clone had just thrown him into the prison until he had woken up fully healed. The man had done nothing wrong to be in the prison, it was only a precaution in case he was in fact a mindless monster. After realizing he was not a current threat, my clone had let him go by kicking him out of the City. The only things I had learned of his identity were that he had powers, he referred to me as Vegeta upon seeing me the first time, he was a bit of a dick, and his name was Sisyphus.

As far as I knew, he didn't belong in this Universe, so I assumed he was similar to me or just a dimension hopper. After releasing the man, my clone had not ran into him again which made me think he was in fact a dimensional hopper and had left this Universe. That or he had gone to space like I had. I just hoped I would never see him again in the future and if I did, it would be best if he was an ally. I didn't like variables that were out of my control too much. The fact that he had referred to me as 'Vegeta' upon seeing me tells me that he has either visited the dragon ball universe before or he had lived on a similar world to my original earth at some point. 

Aside from that, the only other semi interesting thing that happened was that my clone had a run in with the Joker who had somehow escaped while my clone was dealing with Harley Quinn. Harley was now in one of the prison cells back home. 

Along with absorbing my clones memories of events, I also absorbed all he had gained through his training. Due to my year of training with Telos and Sodam in the gravity facility for the past year, I could feel for some time that I was near Super Saiyan 2. With the experience of my dying clone hitting me, I was now even closer, I just needed a little push and I was sure I would reach Super Saiyan 2 sometime soon. 

After sorting through all my new memories, I was aware of how my clone had died. Luthor had sent Amazo to attack the Justice League. Amazo could not copy my clones powers, but because my clone was only at a power level of 20, it died somewhat easily due to the fact that Amazo had already absorbed most of the Justice Leagues powers at that time. 

With this my vacation had come to an abrupt end. After Amazo appears, the rest of the hard to deal with super villains start appearing one by one. I could no long afford to be away from earth if I wanted to prevent the deaths of those I care about. 

"Telos, Sodam, Lola, I need to go back home now. It was a blast while it lasted. If you ever find yourself on earth, be sure to stop by and visit".

The three had known this day would come eventually, because I had told them long ago that I would one day have to suddenly leave. Today was that day. Each of them walked over to me and embraced me into a hug. Tellos spoke first. "We will have to stop doing Karaoke nights now, you were the only one of us that could really sing".

Sodam spoke up next as he looked at Telos. "By that logic, are we going to stop sparring as well then Telos? Without Aeric, I only have you to spar with again". 

I rolled my eyes. "You both should continue to train hard, when we meet again we will have a good fight". 

Finally Lola spoke. "You have been freeloading on our ship for so long that I feel it's going to get lonely without you from here on out. Be sure not to forget us when you go back and you are welcome to visit us as well in your free time".

I could see that the three were hesitant to see me leave, but had put on a smile to make it easier on me. "Yes, how could I ever forget my younger siblings? I will be sure to make you all proud to be associated with me. Till we meet again".

For the first time in over a year, Lola did not put up a fight when I called her my young sibling as all of them hugged me one last time while I hugged them back. After separating, I waved bye before teleporting back to Earth. 

The moment I was on earth, I immediately changed into my costumed self and made my way to the Watchtower where I was met with shocked gazes from Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Superman, and a crying Supergirl. I had no idea where the rest of the league currently was. 

Seeing me, Supergirl also looked shocked for a bit before her shock turned into anger. Marching over to me, it appeared she was about to hit me, before she gathered her emotions and angrily flew out of the watchtower. 

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked the rest that were still in the room with me. 

Superman sighed. "We thought you had died. We watched Amazo freeze you with freezing breath before a building collapsed on you, breaking the ice and you into little pieces. How?"

Ah. yes that's why. I had forgotten that they had all witnessed my clone die. After realizing the problem, I couldn't help but look back to where Supergirl had just exited. 'Why was she so upset then? I thought she hated me?'

Looking at the Justice League members in front of me, I had to come up with a reason as to how I was still alive, but I didn't really want to let anyone know of my duplication power. A man should always have a couple of secrets he keeps to himself.
