Chapter 15 - Superhero Poses

(A/N: I was bored with nothing else to do so here's another chapter.)

The next day as I was going to pick Videl up, I sense Gohan's Ki flying into the city and decide to stop him from destroying the road when he land. Shapeshifting into a fly, I quickly follow after Gohan and landed on his shoulder.

"Hey Gohan," I said confusing Gohan as he looks around trying to find me.

Not finding anyone Gohan said to himself "Weird, I thought I heard Ken just now."

"You did" I answer "I'm the fly on your shoulder right now."

"Huh? Oh, hi Ken." Gohan casually greets me.

"Aww, I thought you will be more surprise seeing a talking fly."

"Haha, two of my dad's friends can also change into other things." Gohan

"Oh I see, I hope I can get to meet them. I haven't met anyone that can use magic before."

"Sure, I'll introduce them to you some time." Gohan

"Sounds good to me. Say, what are you going to call your superhero persona."

"I was thinking of calling myself the Great Saiyaman" Gohan

"Not the best name, but I say it's a good fit," I said before looking down. "Oh look, a speeding car. That could be dangerous, I guess this will be your first job as the Great Saiyaman then. Anyway, I got to go pick up Videl. See you at school." I said as I fly away.

"Bye" Gohan

I was about to teleport but then I remember what I was here for. "Oh and Gohan, when you are out being a hero, try not to break too many things," I said as I teleport away.

When I teleport to Mr. Satan 'private' room, I can see Videl already there waiting for me. "Sorry to make you wait. I ran into Gohan on the way here."

"It's ok, let's go before we're late," Videl said as she grabs my hand. We got to the class and everything went on as normal. When Gohan reach school, I ask him about the car this morning. Turns out, Gohan didn't break the road this time but instead deform the metal hood of the car.

During launch Gohan, Videl and I went to the rooftop to talk about Gohan's hero duty.

"Ok, now that we got your costume down. Let's work on your introduction. Why don't you show us how you'll introduce yourself" I told Gohan while thinking 'Please don't be as bad as DBZ make it out to be' over and over again. I took out my phone to record it in case it's as bad as it is in DBZ so I can show it to him.

"Sure," Gohan said. He then got into position and start doing different styles of awkward poses before ending in saying his name. Seeing it on the screen is cringe-worthy, but seeing it in real life makes me feel like I should cut all ties I have with him. As for Videl, she burst out laughing after Gohan is finished.

Seeing Videl laughing and me trying not to show anything on my face, Gohan asks "Is it bad?"

Hearing that, Videl laughs even harder.

I waited for Videl to stop laughing before answering "Yes" as seriously as possible. "If I see someone do that in public, especially with a costume on, I'll think that the guy has a mental disability."

Gohan got embarrassed at my blunt statement. "Haha, is that so. Then how should I introduce myself?"

"Hmm… Let's just go with something basic. The power pose. First, stand up straight." I said as Gohan follow. "Put your hand on your hips with your elbow out. Head straight, eyes on your opponent." Gohan follows and tries to do what I said.

After fixing up the part of the pose that seems off I continue "The pose is ok for now. But something is missing." I circle around Gohan for a bit. "Ahh, got it. Gohan, why don't you try to use your Ki to make it look like the wind is blowing gently across your cape." As Gohan did so I still feel like something is missing.

"Gohan, what's the person you look up to the most?" I ask

"Eh?" Gohan

"Just answer the question."

"That will be my dad and my teacher Piccolo." Gohan

"Good, now I want you to remember what it feels like to stand behind them when they are protecting you. As you think about it, I want you to copy how you think their aura or spirit feel at that moment and project it onto yourself. You can even imagine yourself doing the same thing to someone close to you if it helps."

As soon as I finish talking, Gohan's aura seems to change. Instead of the usual carefree and nervous aura around him. It now feels heavy like he can stand tall through even the toughest storm. Looking at him like that, I smile and said "Perfect." Before taking my phone and take a picture of Gohan again.

"Haha, so how did I do?" Gohan as he broke Gohan out of his current state and his aura return to what it's like before.

"You did good, why don't you come and look at this picture of yourself." I said waving my phone. I show him the picture of his poses before. After he did what I said.

"Wow, that's me?" Gohan

"Yup. As for what you should say... you can just use the same line you said before." I told him.

"Thank you for the help." Gohan says happily.

"Haha, don't mention it. Besides, we aren't done yet." I smile widely. "That pose was just the beginning. Up next, I'm going to teach you about the superhero landing." I then went on to discuss the different poses and when to do them as well as tell him that he should only do one pose at a time. When we're done, it was time to head back to class.

During class time, Videl got a call from the police saying they needed help. She hurries and rushes out of class to help. Instead of going this time, I ask Gohan to pretend to go to the bathroom and go help Videl. He agrees as he will get to try out his new poses.

They haven't been gone for even 10 minutes before they return with Videl having a victorious smile. Turns out Gohan's aura scare one of the criminals into surrendering and he quickly caught the other one. Since they both know how to fly, they were able to quickly make their way back to school. On the way back, Videl manages to force Gohan to join the Martial arts tournament next month.
