"That's because they're married," he revealed, blowing Damian and Donna's minds.
"That suddenly makes more sense," Donna and Damian shared eye contact for a few seconds, nodding. They had gotten somewhat used to the others' presence. They weren't exactly friends, but shared a bond that only students of the same master shared.
Barbara approached Damian with a smirk. "Robin," he turned to her.
"What do you want?" He asked, looking at her.
"So, how far did you get?" She asked as he smirked.
"I'd have to kick your arse to prove it to you, though?" He said as they stared at each other with a grin.
"You bet!" She challenged, she had a little secret.
Piccolo suddenly made his presence known. "Save it for later," Barbara turned and bowed slightly.
"You're lucky Master Piccolo is here to stop me," she taunted Damian who smirked.
"Don't tell me you're afraid?" Vegeta suddenly interjected. He had been listening in. Piccolo turned to Vegeta, and they stared at one another, not breaking eye contact before they grinned at one another.
"I just didn't want her to hurt your student," Piccolo explained.
"Oh? You think she has what it takes to beat a student trained by me?" Vegeta asked with a raised eyebrow. Their conversation was now starting to attract attention.
"Why not have them spar?" Krillin suddenly asked. "Although I never imagined that you and Vegeta of all people would be training some humans," he finished.
"I don't mind," Piccolo explained as Gohan and Diana approached the group talking.
"Alright, if the two of them want to spar then why not?" Gohan entered the conversation.
Damian and Barbara just smirked at one another nodding. "I hope you're ready to lose," Damian taunted as Barbara hit back immediately.
"I hope you're ready to eat dirt, in fact, let's bet." She brought up catching Damian's interest.
"A bet you say?" He questioned as they made their way to an open field.
"You're not afraid are you?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"I was just surprised you'd fight when you know you'll lose," Damian explained.
"Alright the bet will be patrol, once we go back, loser will take winners patrol nights for a month," Barbara suggested.
"That sounds good, at least I will have a slave working for me," he remarked.
Yamcha whispered to Tien as they walked. "He is kind of an ass, isn't he?"
Tien initially slightly surprised but just nodded at the observation.
Karen overheard the conversation and agreed mentally. 'Although...he was in the League of Assassins, they strike me as the kind of people who train themselves to suppress their emotions.' Her mental thought was interrupted by Damian and Barbara moving very fast for two regular humans.
'If I didn't know any better, I'd think these two had super speed and strength,' Karen observed. Damian blocked Barbara's kick, and the force made the ground crack beneath his feet.
The two smirked at one another mid-battle. Damian turned just in time to avoid an axe kick. He immediately stepped closer to knee her in the stomach, but the moment he was about to make contact, she flipped over his leg, landing an elbow to his jaw. Damian didn't flinch as he finally grabbed her mid-air, pulling her onto the ground with incredible force.
Damian got ready to end the battle. To everyone's surprise, Barbara quickly yelled, "Solar Flare!" This stunned everyone as they all temporarily went blind.
Damian couldn't believe how bright the light was. His senses were completely overwhelmed, but he could feel Barbara's fists beat him, quickly matching her rhythm Damian started bobbing and weaving.
'Is that Ultra Instinct?' Goku wondered before shaking his head. 'No, he just figured out her attack pattern,' Goku was very impressed with the boy.
Barbara smirked. She stopped her assault, surprising Damian. His eyes still stung; he just needed a little more time for his vision to return, he wasn't like the other Z-Fighters, this was his first time being flash banged by a Solar Flare. 'This is worse than an actual flash bang,' Damian groaned trying to anticipate Barbara's next attack, they did have a similar fighting style.
Barbara's stance changed from her Bat style, shifting into a familiar stance; the Demon stance.
"She really is Piccolo's student," Krillin remarked.
She immediately started attacking Damian, who couldn't predict her movements anymore before knocking him over, rushing over with a Ki ball in hand.
Damian's eyes finally settled, but the moment he could see, all he saw was a Ki ball in his face.
"Impressive," Damian remarked. "I didn't know you'd learn an entirely new martial art and a flash bang technique." Barbara grinned.
"Yeah well, I had it beaten into me," she explained. The two months she spent in that white void room were brutal. "I'm just surprised you aren't saying I cheated," she teased as he rolled his eyes.
"We were sparring, it's my own fault for not anticipating you may have had something under your sleeve the moment you wanted to bet," Damian rationalized.
"That was really impressive, you two! Great job. I didn't know Piccolo would teach you the Solar Flare," Krillin remarked as he approached the two.
"Thank you," Barbara accepted, although Damian just nodded.
The day went by relatively fast. "I should start seriously training soon," Gohan thought to himself. For the time being, he and his family stayed at Capsule Corp. His wedding with Diana was in six months.
"It's amazing how strong those two have gotten so far," Gohan thought to himself. He was seated on the balcony, enjoying the night sky. "The Earth back in my universe just doesn't really feel like home." Gohan closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. The air was so clean, and the chances of someone attacking were low, not to mention the distant chatter of his family and friends laughing.
His heart was content, but he frowned slightly. 'I still have to see Videl,' he mused. He had been holding off on it because he wasn't sure how it would go, but he couldn't avoid it forever.
"Gohan?" Diana's voice suddenly called out from behind.
