Invite
[3rd Person POV]
"HAHAHA!! I can't believe you did that!! Oh that was soo funny!" laughed John.
"Shut the fuck up." replied Arnold.
John immediately talked back "Really? What if I don't shut up, What're you gonna do, you 'FOCKING MORTAL'. Pfft… hahaha! That was such a good line."
Arnold just looked at his elder brother before saying "Leo! John's being annoying again!"
Leo then spoke up"John, stop it. It's not funny to laugh at Arnold like this. We don't know what was going on… Pfft, in his head."
Arnold then berates his elder brother "Hey! You're fucking laughing as well!"
Leo quickly apologises "Sorry, sorry. It's just that… It's too funny. If anything, It's your fault for saying something that outrageous."
"Outrageously cringe that is." John added.
Arnold tried to salvage his actions "Oh shut up! I got excited about winning, okay? It was a very tense situation. You debeat one of the most dangerous beings in the multiverse and then be calm about it."
"But still, you've received a medal of valour, huh. You've saved a lot of people, haven't you?" Leo said, trying to change the topic.
Arnold replied "Damn right I did! I saved the planet, including your asses."
John refuted this claim, saying "Like hell you did! Just because we weren't there doesn't mean we wouldn't have handled it."
"Oh yeah, then maybe you shouldn't have hid in-" Arnold started.
Leo cut him off, saying "What I was saying is… Mom and Dad would be proud."
This made Arnold pause for a bit, before saying "Thanks."
Then the room turned silent for a bit, until a waiter entered the room saying "Sir, here's your food."
John spoke up "Finally! I've been hungry for a bit now. I've gotta eat and leave. I'm sorta busy today."
Leo said "Let's eat up then. I'm sure this guy has to prepare for the ceremony as well."
The brothers then shared a hearty meal before going their separate ways.

[Arnold POV]
3 weeks later,
White House, Washington DC.
"Today we are all gathered here to thank these superheroes, who in the face of grade danger, fought to save us…"
'Oh god, this speech is a bore.' I thought, while watching the President give a speech.
"You get used to it." says Superman, seemingly knowing exactly what I was thinking.
"So I've heard" I gave a dry response.
All of us were gathered here, including me, the Justice League, Shazam and Cyborg, as we were to receive medals of valour for our achievement.I would've skipped the ceremony, but Superman said on National Television that the league would only accept the medals if I did as well, so I sort of had to join in. Man, I can be such a softie sometimes. Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it now.
After we received the medal, there was a formal banquet. I joined, not wanting to say no to the amazing food that was sure to be present. The banquet was rather boring, an orchestra was playing music around the clock, and it was mostly full of old politicians just whining about their own problems. Luckily no one approached me and I was able to enjoy the food in peace. I took a look at my status

'This is looking pretty good now. My strength is gonna be enough to face almost anyone in DC now, no matter who they are.' I thought. Although I was getting stronger, I had stopped getting any more missions and according to El, I wouldn't be getting anymore either. Yup, from now on, I would have to buy all the cursed techniques and skills to make myself stronger. Luckily I had some money to spare due to my day job.
As I was sipping on some champagne while thinking this, Superman and Wonder Woman approached me.
"Nostradamus, how do you find the gathering?" asked Superman.
I answer "Well, the food's good so I can't find much else to complain about."
"That's good to hear." Wonder Woman says.
"We would like to talk to you about something we couldn't mention the last time we met." Superman said.
"Well then, let's talk about it now." I responded, intrigued by this statement.
Wonder Woman then dropped a bomb, saying "We would like to formally invite you into the Justice League."
