It all started as a normal day for Washington D.C and the people were gearing up for their normal routine that they do 7 days a week.
The nation's capital is a pretty busy place where a lot of important people live along with the Hall of Justice, the official headquarters of the Justice League.
The place wasn't used as much since the creation of the Watchtower, but its a place where members officially address the public, however, it also used a home for heroes who don't quite have a place of their own.
In the training facility, a blonde-haired woman with blue eyes was fighting a brown-haired man with brown eyes.
The both of them were in incredible shape and the way they fought each other looked as if they were filming a martial arts movie. The woman was nimble, dodging each strike from the man like a cat before returning her own, however, the man simply shrugged it off as he had the build of a trained bodybuilder.
"Your hits are soft, Dawn!" The man shouted as he became even more aggressive, grabbing the woman by her left arm, preparing to throw her across the room.
"And you're not smart, Hank!" She shouted back, pushing off from her feet to knee the man in the face with her left knee, catching him off balance.
He still held onto her arm, but she would use this to her advantage, stepping close to him on his right side, using her strength to push him further off balance as her right leg sweeps behind his right, forcing him off his feet while simultaneously pushing him down.
*BAM!* The man came down hard on his back, forcing out a painful groan, but still the man did not let go of her arm
.
"It was wasted on my good loo-"
The battle was halted by a loud and terrible sound, one that sent chills through their spine as the ground shook underneath them. The two quickly separated from each other while saying words that they have said countless times already.
"Hawk!"
"Dove!"
Soon the two were enveloped by a bright light as their bodies were now covered in unique suits that distinguished them from the rest of the heroes. The man known as hank wore a suit of red and black with a mask that drew inspiration from a hawk.
Every inch of the man's muscles could be seen with the skin-tight suit, showing off their oppressive might. He had four strange tendrils that started from his shoulders, two on each side that seemed to disobey the law of physics as they went straight up and curved down almost like they were wings.
The woman on the other hand was less oppressive, but even her trained muscles could be seen through her blue and white skin-tight suit.
Her once blonde hair changed into beautiful snow-white as a mask that seemed to look more like goggles appeared on her face while a small white cape graced her shoulders.
After the two transformed they immediately left the building, and Dove immediately took the skies while grabbing Hawk by his hands, lifting him into the air as they traveled to the source of the noise.
"What do you think it is?" Dove curiously asked.
"If it's something big, I would love to see how it stacks against my strength!" Hawk answered with a laugh.
As the two flew through the air, they could see cars being stopped, and people panicking left and right as destruction happens all around them. Luckily, it didn't last for long, and after it stopped the people were stroked with relief and fear.
Dove could see a small shadow on top of the Washington Monument and swooped down towards it, hoping to get the drop on them.
>>>>Present Time<<<<
Ethan felt incredibly great after reaching the 3rd stage as his body was packed with even more strength then he could ever imagine. He should hurry up and disappear from the area, but now he felt as if he was experiencing a high.
'Is this what if feels like to possess power?' He thought as he glanced at the blazing rising sun with his glowing red eyes.
As he was relishing in the newfound power, he felt as if he lost a bit of something precious, but the feeling didn't last for long as his enhanced senses started to pick up several people converging on his location.
Ethan caught a glimpse of two people flying to his location and figured right away that they must be heroes.
However, he didn't quite remember who the two were even with their brightly colored suits. In the back of his mind, he wanted to fight both of them and was mid-jump before he was stopped by the voices of his two mates.
It would seem that their mental link was even stronger now as he remembered he couldn't hear them unless he was in close proximity to them. He could even hear Myra for the first time inside of his head which was strange how he couldn't do it until now.
And with a now cooled head, he would decide to retreat back to the RV, disappearing faster from the area than when he arrived, quickly leaving the two heroes in the dust.
Ethan couldn't move as fast as the Flash, but he felt that he could even outrun a formula one car if he really wanted.
"That was no monster!" Dove said as she barely caught a glimpse of the man before he was out her sight.
Hawk gritted his teeth in anger, "Did we transform for nothing?! I was hoping for a fight!"
"Perhaps this is for the best...I felt danger coming from that man...He wasn't even looking at us, but I felt if we got any closer we would have been goners."
"What do you know?! I could have taken him down!" He growled.
"Hawk please....you've been a bit more violent today. We normally don't spar."
"You're right...it sort of feels like...like.."
"A balance shift?"
"Yeah, that's the word! Anyways....let's go back. Maybe that half robot half man will fight me next."
Dove rolled her eyes, "You mean Cyborg?"
>>>><<<<
Pamela was one of the first ones to greet Ethan as she was the most worried about him. He would quickly assure the redhead with a deep passionate kiss, forcing a groan out her mouth before the door to the RV closed.
The villainess still wanted to ask a few questions, but feeling his burning desire while tasting his lips caused her mind to draw a blank.
'Ethan...s-stop' She pleaded mentally as she kissed back with the same amount of passion which seemed like she wanted the opposite. Soon to her slight displeasure, he would relinquish her bittersweet lips.
"What... happened?" Pamela asked after taking a deep breath to calm herself. She was still feeling a bit hot, but her mind was clear enough for her to ask another question.
"I broke through the 3rd stage...I didn't want to wake anyone up...so I left." Ethan answered.
"You did a wonderful job at that." Harley scoffed as she approached him with a smirk on her beautiful face. Ethan didn't know why, but somehow his mates looked even more beautiful to him.
'Is there something wrong with my eyes?" He thought, smiling at the approaching villainess as she yawned and stretched her limbs while his eyes were drawn to every inch of her body in her nightgown.
"Honeybun...you're staring." Harley grinned from ear to ear before she cupped his face and shared a kiss that involved quite of bit of her tongue.
Myra would watch on as she had thoughts of showing affection for her master, but she wasn't the only one. Raven stood near back with a slight ting of red on her cheeks as she touched her lips while remembering what happened last night. 'Ethan...'
"Master! Me too!" Myra couldn't stand it anymore and dashed over to them to hopefully kiss her master on the lips. Unfortunately, before she could even get close, she was stopped by a hand belonging to Ethan.
"Let's plan out our next form of action." He said after pulling away from the slightly dazed Harley who licked her lips lustfully.
In the corner of his eye, he could see Raven looking at him almost in a trance until he smiled at the half-demon, causing her to jump slightly.
"Y-yeah! Let's..." Raven pulled her hood over her face before sitting on the couch next to Teekl who was lazily lounging around. 'Ugh! Get it together! That was only a one-time thing! You aren't in love with him! You arent-'
She was pulled out of her thoughts as she felt someone staring down at her, and looked up to see Ethan with his red eyes that flashed briefly.
"W-what? Aren't you going to tell us the plan?"
"I can't make the plan without you telling me where the source of energy is coming from." He grinned, placing his hands on the couch, trapping her in between them.
"Don't you have that cat to help you now...I-I"
Ethan smiled, "No...I need you..."
"Huh?" Raven clearly knew that it wasn't what he meant, but she could feel the temperature of her face rising as she bit down on her lower lip. Her heart started to beat faster and faster, feeling as if it might leap out of her chest.
"O-oh"
"Yeah, I need you to do it....what were you thinking about?" He asked as he let out a chuckle.
'This bastard!! He did that on purpose!' Raven gritted her teeth as her hands started to shine with a dark light.
"Aza-Mmm!" Before she could even mutter her first word, her lips were sealed by another one that was immediately known as the came acquainted with it last night.
She didn't want to admit it, but she missed the taste and feel of his lips. They were like kissing a warm comforting fire that spread its warmth throughout her body. Of course the fire burned, but it seemed to cause her muscles to relax, soothing her mind as the need to get closer surged.
"N-not...in front of-Mmm!~" Raven groaned into his lips, blushing even more as Ethan pulls her hood back down.
Pamela and Harley would watch on with disbelief as even they started to see something different about their mate.
They would have never thought he would do this to someone who isn't even marked by him right in front of their eyes.
He always came off as someone that was reserved and only felt comfortable around people that he knew. It wasn't the fact that he was shy, but it seemed like wasn't open enough as if he was holding something back.
"Ahh...~" Once the two finally separated, Raven was left nearly seeing stars as her chest rapidly rised and fell from breathing a bit heavily. She didn't know when, but her hands had found their way to his face, cupping them as if she wanted him closer.
"Filthy...Pervert...Bastard!" She insulted him as she regained a bit of clarity while looking at him with a complicated expression.
"Raven..." Ethan whispered with a low growl. "Become mine..."
"N-Huh?!..." Just when she thought she was cooling down, she was hit with those words that caused her to forget how to breathe.
"I-I can't...Ethan.. I'm n-not...ready..." She muttered, looking away from him.
'Calm down...you can't do this yet...not yet..'
"Raven-"
"Oh me! I'm ready M-" Myra suddenly shouted before her mouth was covered by Pamela.
However, the damage was done, the atmosphere was ruined which caused Ethan sigh as Harley gave Myra a thumbs up.
Ethan rolled his eyes and stood up straight, "I'm pretty sure I know the reason...and just you wait..I promise you I'm going to beat him to the ground until he begs me to stop...and after..." He stopped to kiss Raven on the cheek.
"You'll be mine and in turn I will be yours." Ethan declared, staring directly into her violet eyes.
Raven gazed at him with shock expression plastared on her face, she couldn't believe he would make that kind of promise with everyone watching. However, for some reason there was a sense of relief as her eyes became a bit misty.
"Ok.." Raven nodded, showing a smile that no one had ever had the pleasure of seeing for several years. It was one of pure bliss and one that made Ethan want her even more so that he could make her smile more often.
The half-demon jumped up from the couch and embraced him tightly with her arms around his waist.
("Now, it begins...) Tydris said to himself as he peered through the darkness. If one would look closer at him they would notice that his massive body looked smaller for some reason.
