Once upon a time, there was a group of amazing people called the Super Friends.

Now what was so amazing about the Super Friends was that they all were either in possession of, or developing their special powers. Their alliance helped in this, by allowing them each to benefit.

The more advanced Super Friends, who were somewhat NOOBs when it came to teaching, got to hone their teaching skills, while the newer Super Friends..well they got to have their questions answered, speeding up their development as Super Heroes (which is really just a fancy way of saying Super Friend.)

Well this worked so good. I mean, yea, sometimes the nooby a-- student Super Friends would be complete jerks because they were just getting used to the strange world of being a Super Friend. It isn't every day you start seeing things with X-Ray Vision.

And YEA the frooby-dooby a-- teacher Super Friends made big stupid mistakes too. Like the time they invited a pretty sociopathic freak to join the Super Friends as a Teacher Friend. But see..it was ok. Because they were Super..but primarily, they were Friends. The Teachers could make mistakes and so could the others...because they were all really just figuring out the whole Super Friend experience together.

Well it went quite well. Many villains were found out and conquered, banished ne'er to be heard from again.

But something stupid happened (which in hindsight, should have been expected from nooby Teacher Super Friends who are just getting the hang of the position), the Teacher Super Friends..started acting differently.

They started..taking on tones of authority, when ONLY the Great Friend (an invisible force binding all Friends together) has that authority.

Also the Teacher Superfriends, whose powers were somewhat more finely honed, began using their powers to try to..make the newer Super Friends do what they were told..manipulate their actions..mess with civilians.

That was about the time that Aquaman decided to leave. See he considered himself quite the Super Friend, but he was of the Sea, and noone but the Great Friend..that's what they'd agreed upon, was going to tell him what was what. Especially while his heart told him something was wrong.

"Traitor!!", hissed the main Teacher Super Friend (who shall remain nameless (no not Wonderwoman) mainly because she was just f---ing up, she was not necessarily evil, you see. Being a Teacher Super Friend is a learning process too) when Aquaman announced that he thought something was wrong.

And traitor..is one word that should NEVER be applied to Aquaman.

So Aquaman struck off on his own. Even though the inconvenience was his own, he didn't care..because it was better to die miserable than to let anyone but the Great Friend have his unquestioning obedience, and direct access to his heart.

Even if it was slower learning, even if he never became a Super Hero at all, but remained just a merman, it was better than letting another person, Super Friend or not, become his master..manipulate or dominate him.

That privilege belongs to the Great Friend only..and at His convenience...not the convenience of impatient Teacher Super Friends who want to keep the "group progress" moving along in their Super Friend Mill.

And so Aquaman struck off on his own. It was a reasonably miserable time for him. Eventually he began to forget about the Super Friend experience. It went away. He became a friend to some..and a ghost of the merman he had been.

But his resolve to bow to none but his Master or die in obscurity was set in stone. And so he waited..for that day to come..like it had come once before.

And although the Super Friends passed by Aquaman, still no one said a word about it.

And the Great Friend deemed that it should be so.

The End

Please say "Yes".

Nice story.

I read it, TINK. My Cancer Moon, 12th House Sun and Neptune in the First House all reserve the right to use dramatic license as the situation seems to warrant.

I know you did. I didn't feel the need to leave it up.

Not sure what planet, house, placement or whatever whatchamacalit reserves me that right.

If I am not mistaken, which I most likely am as I am also much confused by astrology for my lack of study, I believe daf was referencing the sign Scorpio.

Or maybe not.

OK. Looks like the Super Friends are showing up. We need a Super Friends' secret password. Let's post it here so that all of the Super Friends will have it. Hmmm..any ideas?

What if the challenge were:
"HOW ABOUT A SMILE?"

And the correct response were:
"No. Get lost you fascist!! I'll smile when I feel like it! I am a free thinking independent human being who is perfectly capable of determining when I should smile. How dare you suggest I smile at a time not currently designated by me for smiling?!!"

Wait..ok that's not too Super Friendly.

Something else..not the fascist thing.
How about...

If we just do this:

Ok so that works.


Challenge:
"HOW ABOUT A SMILE?"
Correct Response:

If you get an incorrect response, kill them.
(Heat vision directed at their head is effective. So is using your super strength to rip their limbs off. If you can telepathically call animals to your aid, flocks of birds, packs of wolves or school of carnivorous piranha are also good options.)

Thank you. Those are just my suggestions. The floor is open to discussion by all Super Friends.

*Spider-sense tingling!*

What strange facsimile is this?

:feels around the intriguing, vibratory nature of the words transposed around the thread:

Things aren't what they seem. It is possible this may be some sort of filtration system, but of what? Must dig deeper into the secondry of time.

(Just thinking in posts.)

If people start to make fun of your Super Skills Batman says he left the Bat-Bat behind the front door to the Hall of Justice. It's the solid teak stick marked "Bat-Happy Stick" propped against the wall.

(Can we change Hall of Justice to the Hall of Action? Justice seems so final, uninspired and judgmental. Plus "Hall of Action" sounds as though we're getting stuff done. That'll come in handy when we try to renew our funding next year.)
