LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 5: Chapter 5
"We can't just sit here while he walks around." Hawk Girl said while looking at the other members of the Justice League. She was still recovering, she was in a wheelchair. Last night's activity with Broly left her unable to walk, she wasn't a coward... she wanted more.
"For now we can do nothing, or we risk the destruction of Earth... leave Broly to me," Batman said calmly, causing everyone to look at Batman, speechless with the idea that he a mortal could handle the monster that defeated all of them.
"Shouldn't we send him to the Phantom Zone? Or throw him to the edge of the universe or something?" Green Lantern asks, his face showing slight pain. Broly was rough with him last night, he two couldn't walk or feel his leg.
"That's one of the plans we are thinking of... but Broly isn't like Doomsday, he isn't a monster out to seek the destruction of the world," Superman said while pushing a button, causing a screen to show the scene in Gothom where Broly was flying back and forth, bringing chairs and other such things to his new apartment building.
They were left speechless at the sight of the monster that defeated them flying into a game store, his eyes almost glowing at video games, legos, and puzzle games. He brought everything his eyes landed on, bringing it to his apartment, and shocker to no one, Batman had put a camera in there allowing them to spy on Broly who currently was cleaning up his living space.
"As things stand, Broly is someone who although dangerous, doesn't lash out unless someone bothers him. Even then, he holds back. He could have killed all of us, but he didn't. Instead, he injured you all, with injuries you could all recover from given the time. He knew all of your capabilities and limits, even while berserk he showed enough self-control to know what he was doing." Batman said calmly.
"Let's face Broly as a kid, happy with the freedom he has, and refuses to let anyone take it from him. If we imprison him in the Phantom Zone and he somehow leaves, I'm sure at that point he would come with killing intent. I rather avoid having him a future enemy and instead try to get him to our side. He might just be a trump card we need," Batman said lightly, leaving the place quiet.
"So we ignore him?" Wonder Woman who too was in a Wheelchair, with a neck cast asked? Broly had vented on her, leaving her neck unusable for some time, and even her lower body. She couldn't even move her feet.
"No... I will approach him, he doesn't seem like someone who wants problems, and instead, someone who wants to be left alone." Batman said, but something in the video showing Broly popped up.
There Broly holding a golden red staff appeared. Batman's eyes narrowed seeing that, for that staff reminded him of the Sun Wukung staff. His theory was confirmed when the staff answered to Broly's will, and with Broly floating in the air, he began working out while using his telekinesis to mount the TV, connect the gaming councils to the TV, and so on.
"Nice!" Broly said while poking his rock-hard muscles, clearly enjoying his physique.
"But it needs to be harder! Weight 600 thousand pounds!" Broly said with a grin, and with the shake of his arm the staff seemed to have truly gotten heavy... but Broly wasn't happy.
"100,000 tons?" Broly said but it wasn't heavy enough.
"1,000,000,000 tons," Broly said and his face twisted lightly, for in his hands, he was pretty much holding a mountain. He let out a deep deep breath before he began working out with something that weighed 1,000,000,000 tons... although he had to double the weight every lift since he grew too strong.
They were all quiet as before their eyes, Broly only stopped working out when he reached a point where he was pretty much lifting the weight of the atmosphere of the Earth... in other words 5.5 quadrillion tons. Broly only stopped because he got bored, it sounded like to him growing stronger was something he could just do whenever he wanted.
Instead, he put his hair into a ponytail, which he tried around his staff to hold together, before jumping on the couch, and started doing research into this world. He had bought a laptop, and Batman wasted no time in hacking it to see what Broly was searching for... they all ignored the fact that Broly strength could grow so fast.
Broly workout didn't even take 1 minute. He was working out at super speed. So, in just 20 seconds, his strength grew by 5,500,000 times... yeah, that was too scary to think about. The fact Broly wasn't even trying, was something which scared them.

"Okay," I said with bright eyes seeing the sea of anime on my laptop. There were so many animes to watch, but he paused seeing Dragon Ball... wasn't Dragon Ball an anime from his old world? How was Dragon Ball a concept in this world?
"We look too much alike," I said lightly for among the first things to pop up when I searched anime, was a Dragon Ball movie called Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan.
I couldn't help but touch my face, confusion filling every inch of my face. Was I created after the character of Broly? Were they the beings in the lab Saiyan lovers?
'No... I can't forget, that Rob said that there is an infinite upon an infinite multiverse in DC. In other words, there might be Saiyans in this world... or else Rob used his power or something, leading to their experiments perfectly recreating my existence.' I thought while searching up Dragon Ball, and saw that I had a lot of episodes to watch.
I went on to watch all of this on the TV... of course, I needed something to eat while doing this, so I flew out to order pizza, but I didn't fly back, instead, I walked back to my apartment.
'This city feels curse.' I thought while looking around, looking at the dark and gloomy city known as Gothom. I moved here because it was the only place I could find that could allow me to move as soon as I paid. I kind of understood why that was, seeing how dark this place was.
"..." I paused in my steps, looking at a kid who was looking at my box of pizza with hungry eyes. The kid was skinny, clearly, he didn't get fed well by his family.
'Would freedom be shown in me not caring for him and walking off? But that's a bit messed up... but is that fact I care that's fucked up also a chain? Does being free mean being fucked up?' I thought while the box of pizza opened up on its own, and under my will a piece of pizza floated into the kid's hands.
"Thank you." The kid said moved by my kindness, I just nodded at the kids' words before walking off... but I couldn't help but look back while watching the kid madly eat the pizza.
'I guess I could do some good if it benefits me, I don't want to be a monster.' I thought with a sigh,
"Hey kid, you want a job?" I called out, to which the kid instantly straightened while nodding his little head.
"Then come with me," I said to which the Kid quickly ran up, catching up to me. But thanks to my size, every footstep I took wasn't small, so I slowed down a little.
"So, where are your parents?" I asked to which the kid lowered his head a little.
"My parents are too busy doing drugs to care for me..." the Kid said to which I nodded lightly in understanding. I have seen such people in my past life, people who worked just to throw all of their money on drugs. I have seen people who rather be homeless, hooked on the street life than simply accept their parents' help and get off the streets... it seems like even in this universe, humans are the same.
"What job do you want me to do?" The Kid asked with a look that reminded me of my old self. A look that screamed of the bright future he would make for himself no matter how hard he had to work, the only difference being that this kid was like 7 years old.
"See yourself as my new personal assistant, you would help me keep my apartment clean, and go out to buy stuff for me, all for the pay of 500 dollars a week. You would have free food and water while on the job." I said with a smile,
"Deal!" The Kid said almost instantly, to which I smiled while holding my fist out for a fist bump.
"The name is Broly by the way," I said with a smirk.
"Tommy." The kid said with a bright smile, to which I nodded at him while we returned to my place, and the kid was shocked seeing all of the nice stuff around.
"Go clean your clothing and yourself, you stink. I have some towels in the bathroom, use them to cover yourself while your clothing is getting washed." I said lightly, while sitting before the TV and went on to start watching Dragon Ball.
Tommy wasted no time in going to throw his dirty clothing in the washer, before jumping into the shower to clean himself up...

"He isn't so bad," The Flash said seeing all of this play out, to which a few had to unwillingly agree. Although they couldn't hear what was happening on the streets, they saw how Broly interacted with the kids, and once they were back in the apartment they were able to hear them talk.
"Still... I don't think that kid is safe being around him," Superman said with unease, worried that Broly might go berserk. Everyone also had the same worry, but Batman wondered if he could use this boy to reach Broly's humanity.
