Chapter 34 - 34 Are You Gay? (1/2)
The event that Gray held in revealing his concept for a school that accommodated towards both humans and aliens was more or less a success in his eyes. He hadn't gotten any definite answers from any of his invitees, as it was a big commitment to accept the twenty year olds offer without any forward planning whatsoever.
A school, one for all races would be the start of a new era of what it mean to both be ”human” as well as a citizen of Earth. It would come under a lot of scrutiny of anti-alien groups and organizations, but would also receive the support of many aliens and pro-alien groups and organizations.
It was a double-edged sword so to speak, gain a lot of support, while making a more or less equal amount of enemies.
But unfortunately for Gray, the revealing of ”Akashic Academy for the Gifted” wasn't even the hardest thing he had to deal with tonight.
”So what are you? Are you an alien or a metahuman?”.
Sitting on his couch like he owned the place, Dick Grayson, Conner Kent, Wally West and the rest of the Team, including Kaldur and Barbara, also in formal attire, who had snuck in in a similar fashion just like Kid Flash and Artemis. Using Barbara's grappling gun to hoist the pair up to the balcony.
To make sure that the defenses in the west side of the building didn't kill anybody, Gray had disabled them for the night, so the various talismans and seals that were littered all over the penthouse were deactivated, until he put more prana into them.
Which would be nice to do right now considering that Cassie, Mareena and Kara had broken into his top shelf, and had flushed faces as the Daxamite and Aldebaran sat on the table in front of them, the bottles close to empty.
Leave it to a group of teenage superheroes who can't get drunk off normal alcohol to steal and drink the person that hosted a party to support their people.
He rubbed the bridge between his brows and sighed heavily.
”No matter what universe I'm in. No matter what race they are. All teenagers are the same.....”.
Miss Martian and Artemis were taking care of the three drunk sixteen year olds, while Superboy, Robin and Kid Flash sat at Gray's table, staring at the the Pseudo-Servant with narrowed gazes.
With his enhanced senses, Gray could hear the conversations the Team were having about him, revealing to the rest of the group his identity as Lancer, as well as the strange cool, black katana he had in his possession.
Any discussion about his Divinity was kept secret by the three, hoping for Gray to shed some more light on the subject in private before talking about it with the Team.
Gray had his own drink in his hands, although not able to give him the same buzz as the Daxamite liquor or Aldebaran rum.
Dick Grayson, the boy wonder who was obviously more used to such discussions spoke up first, hiding his eyes behind his sunglasses.
”So.... the newest millionaire playboy in town is masquerading as a superhero. Now where have I heard that before....”
Wally held back a chuckle and Superboy didn't get the joke.
Gray smiled and leaned back in his chair.
”If you already know who I am than I think it's only fair that I know who you are. At least your names, I can't keep calling you just by ”this one” or ”that one”, can I?”.
Robin raised an eyebrow before receiving a telepathic communication from Miss Martian, the way she was looking at Gray was both in a scared manner as well as a curious one.
Gray's smile grew even further.
”Sorry about that. It's the voices”.
His tone was mocking and slightly condescending, and the female white Martian had the decency to look away with a embarrassed expression/
