Silly JLU-Superfriends Thingy

It's better than it sounds. Trust Me.

Badass Level

Written by Shaun Garin

Justice League Unlimited and Superfriends are owned by Warner Bros. Animation and the now defunct Hanna Barbera Studios. Take note that this completely screws with every single episode of both series. Really.

“You know, you’re a lot more badass since the day I first met you.”

Aquaman, lord of the seas looked up in confusion. He and Wally never spoke on a regular basis, even when a near odd situation such as being stuck in a lift in the middle of the Watchtower was concerned. “How do you figure?” inquired Aquaman.

“I mean your badass level rose. Remember back in the day when all you could do was talk to fish?”

“It’s STILL all I can do,” pointed out Aquaman and Wally snorted. “In the way of superpowers I mean.”

“No really, I mean it,” said Wally. “You lost your silly green scaled shirt along the way, and then you grew that long hair and beard, and then you proved to be so badass as to chop your own hand off and get that neat hook thing in.”

Aquaman gazed at his lost hand, now a glittering hook on a powerful cable. “I suppose you have a point West. So, have I surpassed your old expectations?”

“For a guy who tried to talk to fish every single time we were out and about? I’d say so yes. Like the time you and Diana were bailed out by three kindergarteners. That was funny.”

Aquaman grimaced. “That wasn’t my fault; they stripped the area of marine life and the princess forgot to mention that she loses her powers when tied up by men. And Alligators aren’t exactly my specifications.”

“Still, I think you’ve gotten significantly more badass as time went on.” The lift shuddered and Wally sighed as cool air piped itself through the lift. “Finally, I thought they were going to leave us here. Hey, let’s do lunch later, okay?” Without waiting for an answer, Flash was out of the door once it started to ease open, leaving a bewildered Aquaman standing there.

The lift opened up once more on the next floor and in walked Batman who nodded to the king of the seas. As they waited and listened to the half-annoying muzak being piped through the lift, Aquaman asked, “Batman? You think I got more badass over the years?”

“Yes,” answered Batman, not knowing where the question came from but deemed to answer truthfully. And for Aquaman, that was enough for him.
