Chapter 44 - 44. Courting Death!!

The Justice League wanted answers or at least wanted to know about Adrian's situation but they didn't force it.

They were perceptive and could see that he had gone through a lot.

….

[ She saved you… kind of…]

Adrian gazed at the pale skinned Goth who was gazing at him intensely , and the moment he met her gaze she quickly looked away and shifted uncomfortably when he continued to stare at her.

'A busty goth chick with a unique complexion' Adrian wondered if he had some fate with goths since he seemed to be running into attractive Goth babes without even trying too hard.

Adrian subtly gazed at his wrist as a glowing silver ankh tattoo manifested there, showcasing his connection to another Goth that was probably someone whom he shouldn't even be having thoughts about.

But to be honest… courting death had never felt so appealing to him as it was now….

….

" W-What is it ? " Raven asked in a low tone as she couldn't take the intense gaze anymore.

Adrian didn't say anything as he just let out a tired sigh and flopped back onto the bed ,he was wearing a plain white shirt and dark pants that he took from his inventory.

He was feeling drained and tired , and wanted to just lay there brooding for a while before even thinking about what to do.

It was a good thing that time moved slower back home…

….

Raven felt a bit uncomfortable as she didn't recieve an answer making her clutch her cloak a bit tighter.

"Thanks…" Adrian's words filled with gratitude made Raven snap her head towards him with wide eyes.

"F-For what ? " She asked as she felt a bit uncomfortable by his gratitude when she was the one who should be thanking him and apologising for getting him hurt.

"For helping me out , as what you did saved my life~ " Adrian said in a laid back tone as he raised his palm to the ceiling while clenching it.

" I don't need your gratitude… I just did what I could , and anyone else in my place would have done the same… not to mention I didn't want your blood on my hands since you decided to jump in front of a demon like an idiot…" Raven was embarrassed and she felt defensive as she became a bit snarky.

"Well ~ I saved you , you saved me, that makes us even I guess~ " Adrian chuckled as he gazed at Raven with a smile making the Goth uncomfortable as she pulled her cloak over her face masking her flushed face.

Adrian's smile had only become more dangerous especially the slight melancholic aura he had around him.

No matter how well he tried to hide it , Adrian was still depressed….

…..

'Can I go back ?' Adrian asked seriously as he couldn't sit still while thinking about Abomination's ugly face.

Adrian wanted to do what Abomination did to him as he manhandled the ugly beast.

[ No! ]

' Eh?' Adrian felt a bit taken aback as the system's voice sounded a bit pissed.

[ Saving you made me exhaust a lot of energy, so cross world teleportation would be unavailable for a while. Your blink skill is only useful in the world you are in. So no ,you can't teleport back to Manhattan. ]

[ Take this opportunity to become even more stronger instead of trying to pay back your humiliation like some kid. With your current abilities Silk could be saved ]

Adrian let out a relieved sigh as he felt like one weight was dropped from his chest making him feel a bit relieved but the smile of the woman who got crushed was still fixed in his mind.

[ Abomination's connection to the military]

[ Do you wish to see ? ]

Adrian accepted to see the information and the more he understood the more pissed he became.

Human experimentation , illegal drug tests , human trafficking especially of Mutants.

The government itself was engaged in inhumane and criminal activities, making Adrian wonder what was the difference between them and the thugs he beat up.

On second thought they were way worse than the criminals he usually fought.

The Bald Brotherhood Gang never hurt anyone as far as he knew , they just gave questionable hair cuts to random people.

Most of his loved ones weren't normal humans so they would certainly come under the Government's Radar.

But Adrian wasn't afraid… since he wasn't the same small level Vigilante anymore… the power coursing through his being was incredible to say the least …. Not to mention he could get even stronger.

For the first time since he started doing his vigilante activities, Adrian felt like he could take things at his own pace now.

The newfound power gave him a sense of relief and safety.

Being able to create an Amazon Jungle on any part of the planet should be reason enough for him to feel powerful…..

…..

'I have a connection to the 'Green' ?' Adrian mused in his mind as he was going through his skills wondering what the 'Green' was.

After looking into it he understood that it was something of cosmic elemental force related to all plant life in the universe.

[ You are a pseudo plant now ~ ]

Adrian's lips twitched as he made his finger turn into a leaf and made it wiggle.

[ Goddess Gaia may or may not love you ~ ]
