30 Shopping

It was a brand new day, a day where the bright warm sun was high in the air shedding its light on the city of Metropolis, a city known to be protected by scout boy hero Superman.

The city happened to be the direct opposite of its sister city, Gotham with its modern architecture and tall skyscrapers throughout.

Ethan had just woken up near the outskirts of this city at a truck stop after spending the night in his new RV that he spent a fortune on. As soon he emerged from the room, he was pounced on by Harley who he swung around a bit before her lips crashed into his as her way to tell him good morning.

"What's on the agenda today, Honeybun~?" Harley asked as she played with his hair a bit while being held by his arms.

"First a shower and then I'll talk with Raven to see our next move." He replied while putting the villainess down.

"Um...good morning master." Myra smiled, standing up from her seat which she hadn't. moved from since yesterday. She watched a few more films was a bit more expecting to have her date now. 'Maybe...this feeling will make more sense if...I do that thing too...a kiss?..'

"Morning Myra." Ethan gently patted her head to which she responded with a soft giggle as she enjoyed his touch.

Harley grumbled at this, but for once she didn't say anything and instead cuddled close to him like a kitten. She was really happy to hear what he said yesterday, but she still didn't want to share him. 'Why did I have to fall in love with you...'

>>>><<<<

It took a while for everyone to get ready, Harley tried to take a shower with Ethan, but it's still too small. However, according to her, it didn't matter and she said she was, "Flexible".

Once everyone was ready, Ethan would tell the computer to activate it's cloaking device which has two functions. The first function can make the RV completely invisible and the other option can disguise the RV as a normal RV so it won't garner so much attention.

The device wasn't used last night because he wasn't thinking, but when the sun rose a few people started to be curious about it. And so after leaving, he would activate the disguise function when no one was on the road leading into Metropolis. They didn't drive for long as they would find a few empty parking spots to park in front of a large convenience store.

Ethan gets up from the driver's seat and stretches once more as he walked to the lounge area, " Alright before we do anything I realized we don't have a lot of stuff. So, we are going to stock up on some things."

" I'll say this now. Harley?" He turned to the villainess.

"Yeah?" The blonde's face lit up like a light as she thought she was going to hear good news.

"Behave yourself." Ethan chuckled.

"Behaaave? Me?" Harley pouted while she ran up to him.

"I can't behave! I'm a bad girl!... A really bad girl~" She winked, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Yeah, a bad girl who is going to behave because I'm asking really nicely right?"He said as he gently pecked her lips to which she happily accepted before pouting again.

" I'll only behave if you'll..."She'd stop and whispered into his ear the rest of what she wanted to say, and immediately Ethan would let out a low growl.

After hearing it, Harley would laugh and kiss his cheek. "It's a deal then~," She said, releasing her hold on Ethan to attend on Bud and Lou.

'What did she want?' Pamela asked him mentally.

'I can't say...she told me not to.' Ethan replied back, shaking his head as he exited the RV. "Myra you're with me. Let's go...oh and." He stopped and pulled a few bands of money out from his item storage ring to hand to Pamela.

"Wow, my hubby is so rich~" Pamela teased as she gave him a passionate kiss

"Hopefully I'll still have some when I'm done." He joked, knowing full well he'd never be able to spend the amount in the ring unless he went out of control.

After briefly talking to Raven, he'd leave for the store with Myra by his side. The two would turn heads before they even reached inside as they thought the two were a famous couple from television. However, just like everyone else there they came to buy stuff, but the only thing on Myra's mind was her master as her eyes followed every action he took while they pilled their basket.

As the two were shopping, Ethan came across the electronic section, and immediately he started to have flashbacks of his old life.

'As long as I don't get sucked into it...it's fine right?' He thought as he gazed at several gaming systems behind the locked glass.

"Can I help you, sir?" An associate asked as she witnessed him staring at the glass case full of games and gaming systems for quite a while.

'Damn...can I switch places with that girl? Is it bad that I checked out his ass several times already?' She was entranced by the man's body and his appearance as he looked extremely handsome when thinking hard about something.

But if she knew what he was really thinking then she'd have other thoughts.

'Ugh...no dating simulations...I guess I'll settle for an fps game...and Oh? Animal...Crossing?'

The two finished shopping in a little over an hour and they ended up with two baskets packed full of stuff. Ethan had bought a whole bunch of food, essentials, and every single gaming system with games that totaled around five-thousand dollars. He only had cash so seeing him pull out the money from Pamela's purse he let Myra use was mind-blowing.

Of course, the associate checking him out checked every single bill, but then it left people thinking he was some kind of gigolo which he would have been vocal about if he could read minds.

"Is that really all you wanted Myra?" Ethan asked as they wheeled out the two baskets towards the RV.

"Yes," Myra smilingly answered as she stroked the cheap 50$ silver bracelet with silver emoji charms on it. It had caught her eye when they walked by the jewelry section, and she'd tried to imitate the faces.

Ethan thought she wanted it, and she received it she felt as if she was flying for some reason.

'I'll cherish this forever...' She thought as she continued to stroke it.

Once they reached the RV, Ethan secretly put everything inside of his ring before putting away the basket.

Soon after, Raven would approach him after meditating on the couch trying to ignore Harley who continued to pester her. The villainess wanted to try to meditate, but would not keep her mouth shut nor would she stop moving so much.

"I felt an energy source coming from the southwest. I'm not sure where, but if we could follow the trail then I'm sure we could find the source." Raven said as she massaged her forehead with a tired expression.

"Well then, I guess that's where we'll go," Ethan replied as he checked the RV's GPS. "That would put us going towards Washington D.C or somewhere around there.

"Honeybun! Did you get the-"

*Boom!* Before Harley could finish her sentence, an explosion goes off not too far away from them, shaking the RV a bit.

Ethan quickly rushed out of the RV and noticed a large cloud of smoke in the distance.

"Isn't that where S.T.A.R labs is located?" A random passerby said as he was about to get in his vehicle.

Ethan grew curious and approached the guy, "S.T.A.R labs?"

"Huh? Oh, Yeah it's one of the leaders of technology and research where they are trying out a whole bunch of things. I think I heard someone working some kind of solar power or whatever...wonder if it exploded?" The guy wondered before shrugging his shoulders.

"I'm sure Superman will handle it. I'm just a rando who's going back home and sleep. Damn wife wanted the entire store." He complained as he got in his vehicle to drive away.

"What is it?" Pamela asked

"An explosion happened near S.T.A.R labs." He answered, climbing back in the RV.

"Also there is massive amounts of energy being generated in that direction...there's also a lot of...rage...." Raven said as she sensed the spike in energy not too long ago.

"Well, I guess this won't be a total waste of a trip. I'm going to take a look. Maybe there will be something I can use there." Ethan quickly switched over from his casual clothes to his black uniform.

"Harley just follow me in the Rv!" Ethan shouted, dashing out of RV and leaping towards the cloud of smoke as another explosion goes off.

"He won't mind if I break a few speed limits right?" Harley giggled, jumping into the driver's seat.

Pamela frowned and quickly sat down and strapped herself in on the passenger's seat while Myra simply sat down on at the table.

Raven did not want to be in the vehicle while someone like Harley is going to speed, and so she simply phased out of the vehicle and flew after Ethan.

"Hold on tight because mamma's gonna go fast~" Harley chirped, turning the key in the ignition.

*Roar!* The RV roared to life which somewhat spooked a few people as they couldn't believe that sound came from a normal luxury RV. Harley then slammed on the gas and zoomed out of the parking lot to follow after Ethan.

Back in Gotham City, in the place now considered abandoned was a person dressed in a mixture of black and crimson red outfit with a mask covering their face. There was a singular sword strapped to their back which made the person out to be some kind of warrior.

"I can not find any sign of them..." The person's voice sounded womanly and if someone looked closer then their body was a telltale sign that this was a woman. She was quite tall with a slim athletic body and straight jet black hair that reached her shoulders.

Each step she took was trained and one of silence as her brown eyes peered over every detail.

As she was checking the rooms suddenly five men dressed in black appeared behind her before bowing.

"We have found a trail.." One of them spoke almost like a whisper.

The woman nodded, "Excellent...let's hurry I do not want the Demon's head breathing down my neck any longer."

"Yes...Lady Shiva." One of them said just as they all disappeared from the room along with her.
