As I was getting closer to the place where Orm was supposed to be, I noticed a pillar of blue light that quickly vanished, and as soon as I got there I literally saw basically the entire Justice League, except for Batman and me, lying on the ground. Like bro, are you deadass right now? You fought Darkseid and now you can't take down some guy with a magic fork? That's just… disappointing.
And Aquaman and Mera? They weren't doing much better than my team. Mera was being restrained by Atlantean soldiers, and Aquaman, well, he was lying in a crater after Orm had beaten him down. Orm was about to skewer Aquaman with his magical trident, but before he could, I decided to step in. I simply waved my hand and summoned the trident to myself.
Orm looked down at his hand where his trident should have been, but it wasn't there. Finally, he looked up at me, and his face twisted in rage and hatred. His eyes dropped to his chest, where his armor now had a massive hole, and his skin was literally burned pitch-black from the lightning I had hurled back at him earlier. His jaw clenched with fury as his gaze fell on me again, and he roared:
"YOU WORTHLESS WRETCH, HOW DARE YOU?!"
Orm noticed the massive horde of Atlanteans standing behind me, so he shouted again:
"SEIZE HIM!"
But the soldiers didn't move. Not a single one. Every single one of them was terrified of what might happen if they even aimed their weapons at me. Orm screamed again, louder this time:
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? OBEY YOUR KING'S COMMANDS AND SEIZE THAT SURFACER!"
Still, the Atlanteans refused to move. Orm completely lost his patience:
"THIS IS TREASON AGAINST YOUR KING!"
He decided to deal with me himself and charged forward. Unfortunately for him, I had the magical trident now. I summoned it from where it was floating in the air into my hand. The moment I gripped it, lightning began crackling across the weapon. I felt a wave of nausea and pain, but immediately I used Life Drain. The trident surrendered to me instantly, letting me wield it as if I were an Atlantean royal myself.
Orm's eyes widened in pure shock, maybe even tinged with fear. He froze where he stood.
"W-what? H-how can a surfacer like you wield the trident?!"
He looked like he wanted to say more, but I didn't give him the chance. I aimed the trident at him, lightning sparking wildly across it, and then unleashed a magical bolt straight at Orm. He didn't even have time to raise his arms in defense before the lightning struck him.
The blast sent Orm crashing into a wall, the impact knocking every bit of air from his lungs. He dropped to his knees, clutching at his chest. His entire upper armor had crumbled into dust, and his skin was scorched to a crisp. Each breath rattled painfully through him, but somehow, with effort, Orm forced himself back onto his feet.
Meanwhile, I was just chilling. A moment later, a holographic screen appeared in the air, most likely created by Cyborg. On it played a recording of Orm confessing to killing his own mother. Of course, Orm immediately started denying it, bla bla bla, I honestly didn't feel like listening. Luckily, Aquaman shut him up for me, punching him hard in the head. Orm went flying into a car and collapsed unconscious. Then Aquaman started yapping too, bla bla bla… seriously, why does everyone feel the need to yap about things that are completely uninteresting?
I tossed the trident back to Aquaman and went right back to ignoring his speeches.
Timeskip
I was sitting on the stands with the rest of the team in Atlantis, watching Arthur officially and legitimately take the trident and become the new King of Atlantis. Batman was saying something about how we needed to strengthen team bonds, so there'd be weekly meetings. That's when something crossed my mind.
I squeezed myself between Flash and Lantern and started talking:
"Guys, would you like to come with me to a gala? You know… ehm… I don't have a girlfriend, and I don't really want to go alone. And, well, three's better than one, right?"
Lantern reacted first:
"A gala? Hmmm, so there'll be sexy and rich girls? Yeah, I could get into that. Just tell me when and where, bro, and I'll be there."
Flash reacted a little later:
"A gala? Wait, how were you invited to a gala?"
I immediately answered:
"Oh… I forgot to introduce myself. My civilian name is Aaron Durden."
Both Lantern and Flash's eyes went wide at the exact same time. Sure, they already knew Batman was Bruce Wayne, billionaire playboy, but Aaron Durden was even more famous for a very simple reason. Lantern practically shouted like some fanboy:
"WAIT-- YOU'RE THE GUY WHO PLAYED IN FIGHT CLUB?!"
Yeah, as you can see, the previous Aaron was also an occasional actor and starred in some very popular movies.
I nodded, and Lantern immediately started yapping about how he'd dreamed of this moment every single day and how I'd have to sign every poster he owned. Flash accepted it pretty quickly and agreed to come to the gala too. We exchanged phone numbers, and I went back to staring boredly at the endless ocean around me.
Finally, we were able to leave. I swam up to the surface, summoned my Glider Rock, and flew home. But on the way, one thought struck me: isn't water harmful to a lightsaber?
Well, I hope not… otherwise, I'm cooked.
