Superwoman chuckled lightly, a sick smirk gracing her features before getting hidden momentarily behind a hand that had been raised to wipe away the saliva on the corner of her lips "No can do, handsome." She responded, while rising to her full height. The pain in her cheek and stomach was starting to fade, becoming a mere nuisance at the back of her head.
Goku sighed, before repeating himself in a harder voice "I said give it up! Just say you yield, and I will give you a second chance to walk away and forget all this."
Mary was offended greatly, her beautiful features scrunching up in rage once more "I'm no mere woman! I am the Queen of warriors and you shall treat me as such!" snapped the villainess, looking her adversary straight in the eyes, "I'm not going to yield so easily, I don't want your pity."
"If you yield you can save yourself the embarrassing defeat and can walk away to start a new life free of crime." retorted Goku, adamant about the villain changing her mind.
In response she chuckled once more, the absurd proposition enough to amuse her greatly "As tempting as walking away freely sounds, I don't want to. The people of Earth fear me, they are nothing but bugs underneath my boot and I love that feeling of superiority." she gloated, smirking once more. A facial feature she seemed greatly fond of.
"Would it not be better if they looked up to you? Respected you? Worship you in some cases. All this can happen if you just agree to yield."
Mary looked momentarily reluctant, before sighing in defeat. No man or other person had ever gone to the trouble to try and help her without want of something in return, and it was usually their lives "Why are you so adamant about trying to make me betray my allies?" she questioned, glancing towards Ultraman's motionless form on the ground.
Goku smiled for the first time since arriving in the new world although it did not light up his features like before. The death of his wife was still a fresh memory, one that hung over him like a black cloud "I'm a firm believer in second chances. So, I was thinking you could come with me to my universe. I could help you start afresh, leaving your tainted past behind. You can live with me and help me protect the universe whilst getting stronger in the process."he replied, before watching a sly smile replace her smirk.
"Did you just ask me to come and live with you? Aren't we confident?"Mary teased; an eyebrow raised alongside.
"W-well…y-you…d-don't h-have to live with me specifically."sputtered Goku, attempting to correct himself "More like near me if that works."he rectified after regaining his bearings. "Do we have a deal?"
Mary sighed audibly before moving closer to the Saiyan, her boots tapping across the silent no man's land between them. She reached out to place a hand flat on his chest however he grabbed her wrist. She winced slightly at the strength he showcased, the joint throbbing slightly.
"Sorry, I don't know my own strength at the moment." said Goku in apology, frowning slightly while releasing her wrist from his grasp, having witnessed the female wince in pain.
Mary however waved away his apology "It's alright." Staring into his crimson eyes, she saw nothing but kindness but also hidden pain. Pain she knew from his memories was from the loss of his beloved wife. Maybe she could get what she wanted if she used him, got into his feelings and became the emotional anchor he needed. He was naïve enough as it was, not like he would catch on to what she was attempting. However, she then stopped herself, he was volatile enough as it was after getting threatened by her leader. She could only imagine how he would react to her scheme. Well there was only one way to find out, besides that would become future Mary's problem, not hers.
"Okay Goku, I accept your deal. If everything you say is true about me getting stronger while leaving behind all this." She paused to motion to her surroundings "then sure thing, but in this universe, we seal deals with a kiss." was all she said before pushing past his defences, capturing his lips in a kiss. The sudden action caused Goku to attempt moving backwards however with her arms wrapped securely around the Saiyans neck she was confident he was not going anywhere anytime soon. The former member of the 'Crime Syndicate' felt the man between her arms resist initially before visibly relaxing into her lips.
Smirking inwardly at the small victory, she chose to get flirty with the kiss and bite Goku's lip. His gasp of surprise caused her to let go before giggling at his expense, whilst he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. Mary sighed, closing her eyes whilst snuggling into his broad warm chest. "Are you okay?" he inquired; concern evident in his voice
"Yes, yes I am actually." replied the former villain, her words muffled by the folds of his gi top. She smirked, knowing now that she was one step closer to having Goku as her partner in crime. She could feel and hear the rhythmic beating of his heart beneath his clothes, causing her to snuggle even closer.
"Um, can you let me go please haha." pleaded Goku while sheepishly scratching his cheek. Mary peeled herself from his gi top to look up at him once more, before sticking out her tongue petulantly.
"Nope, don't want to." She responded before laying her head down on his chest once more causing the Saiyan to sigh. This was going better than expected for her, he was easily trusting which made getting past his defences easier however she had to be careful not to ruin the plan too soon.
A rage filled roar of "Traitor!" broke the serene silence the two had been sharing. Superwoman opened her eyes, a scowl on her features. She was none too happy at the invasion of her time with her new lover.
Owlman was looming over the body of Ultraman, a large glowing green rock in his hand "How could you Mary?! After everything we have been through, our plan for universal domination and you throw it away all because of him!" he spat, pointing at Goku "I should kill you were you stand."
Mary snorted in response "You don't stand a chance against me, let alone Goku here." She gloated, clasping the Saiyans hand within her own.
The owl themed villain growled, before placing the green rock near Ultraman's motionless body. The kryptonian groaned awake, the smell from the rock igniting his senses once more. Reaching out, a shaky hand grabbed the rock before crushing it. Next his eyes blazed red, burning the rock into a vapour he greedily inhaled. They watched as Ultraman's once motionless form shift into a standing position, his multiple cuts and bruises fading from his body "I have injected myself with purified Kryptonite." He gloated, fists clenched tightly at his sides, muscles bulging with raw power. "I'm practically unstoppable!"he exclaimed, cackling madly.
Ignoring the mad duo, Superwoman turned to face her new companion "Want to put that claim to the test Goku?" inquired Mary, putting her best pleading face to try and win favour, only to receive a nod in response.
The cowl adorning villain glared at his former lover and ally and laughed heartily "I can't wait to watch as he rips the spine from you and that fool's carcases." boasted Owlman, a sick smirk on his lips.
Goku turned to face Superwoman, gently placing his hands on her shoulders causing her to gaze his ruby eyes "I need you to stand behind me then. Its time I showed these two what exactly I can do when I get serious." suggested Goku, his hardened gaze showing just how serious he was.
"Why should I? I'm fully capable of fending for myself." contested Mary frowning at Goku, which caused the Saiyans expression to soften.
Rubbing the back of his head, Goku laughed lightly while addressing the Queen "Not against this type of attack, so please stay behind me. I don't want to risk you getting hurt."
"Aww so you do care about me." taunted Mary with a smirk, before watching Goku smile once again
"Of course, I care, why else would I ask you to stay behind me?"
"I don't know, maybe you want all the glory?" retorted the villain with a shrug of her shoulders.
Goku chuckled at her antics, before turning to face the two remaining villains. He closed his eyes before opening them sharply, igniting his aura once more in the process. A pulsing red aura danced around his form, dancing like a flame in the wind. He slunk low, pulling his hands to one side and cupping them together. He began the legendary chant of "Kaaaaa…Meeeee…Haaaaa…Meeeee…" that had struck fear in many of his opponents from before.
