Chapter 23: Grodd Lives (and the Idol's Mind Games)
"Grodd! He's back! And he's angrier than ever!" Adam shouted, practically vibrating with a mixture of terror and excitement as the news reports showed a giant gorilla rampaging through Central City. "This is it, Jichu! Full-on King Kong! Or, you know, Planet of the Apes meets The Flash! I've been waiting for this. Time for some serious gorilla mind games!" He was also acutely aware that Wells was manipulating Grodd, adding another layer of tension to the situation.
Jisoo, however, was less excited and more… intrigued. "He can talk in your head?" she asked, her eyes narrowed at the screen. "Like a very loud thought. Can he hear K-pop, Snack King? Because I have some very good songs for him." She was initially intimidated by Grodd's sheer size and telepathic presence, but her curiosity quickly took over.
As the team prepared to confront Grodd in the sewers, Adam decided to add a touch of his signature absurdity. "System, Minor Wish: 'Giant Banana Peel.' Target: Grodd. Make it appear under him during the fight. Make it slippery."
[SYSTEM MESSAGE]: Minor Wish 'Giant Banana Peel' Used. Cost: 30 Days. Current Wish Balance: 321 Days. Grodd's rage: Building. Host's satisfaction: Immense.
In the dark, damp sewers, as Grodd lunged at Barry, a colossal, perfectly yellow banana peel suddenly materialized under his massive feet. Grodd's eyes widened in surprise, and he slipped, sliding comically across the wet floor, flailing his arms before crashing into a pipe.
"A banana peel?" Cisco choked out, trying to stifle his laughter. "Seriously? Grodd just slipped on a banana peel!"
"Classic," Adam deadpanned, trying not to burst out laughing himself. "That's how you fight a giant, telepathic gorilla, folks. With questionable fruit-related wishes."
The fight was brutal. Grodd's telepathy was overwhelming the team, causing headaches and disorientation. Adam, seeing their struggle, decided it was time for a high-value trade.
"Barry, Cisco," Adam said, "your brains are probably screaming right now. How about a temporary 'psychic shield'? Just for a while. Keep Grodd out of your heads. For, say, one hundred and twenty days each?"
Barry, clutching his head, nodded desperately. "Anything, Adam! Just make it stop!"
Cisco, wincing, added, "Yeah, my brain feels like a broken record player!"
[SYSTEM MESSAGE]: Wish Trade initiated. Customer: Barry Allen, Cisco Ramon. Wish: Psychic Shield. System Estimate: 60 Days. Host Proposed Trade: 120 Days. Profit: 60 Days. Customer agreed. Wish granted. Current Wish Balance: 381 Days.
A shimmering, almost invisible aura enveloped Barry and Cisco, and the telepathic assault instantly lessened. They blinked, relieved.
Jisoo, however, decided to take the fight directly to Grodd's mind. With a majestic crown of light appearing over her head, she closed her eyes, and a torrent of chaotic, nonsensical K-pop lyrics and dance moves flooded Grodd's telepathic link. "You like loud thoughts, monkey? Try this! BOOMBAYAH! DDU-DU DDU-DU! HIT YOU WITH THAT DDU-DU DDU-DU!"
Grodd roared, clutching his head, his telepathic assault breaking. He stumbled back, disoriented by the sheer absurdity of the mental onslaught. Barry, seeing the opening, delivered a powerful speed punch that finally knocked the gorilla out.
"Did… did Jisoo just give Grodd a K-pop induced migraine?" Cisco asked, bewildered.
Adam grinned, his eyes shining with pride. "That's my Magic Queen. Turning psychic warfare into a dance party. And my Wish Day balance is looking mighty fine. Grodd, you just paid for my next vacation."
