What Doesn't Kill You

I'm Right Here

The heroes were now in the bio-ship on the way to their destination and Superboy spoke, "And what are we going to do about him?"

He gestured to Godzilla and Aqualad sighed, "We can not leave him alone in the ship so he will have to go with someone."

Godzilla looked at them, "I'm right here."

Robin spoke, "He can go with me."

Aqualad nodded, "We will all split up and search the facility once we arrive, we can not let Atomic Skull leave with the tech."

They all nodded and Godzilla as getting annoyed, he could get their distrust but they were being incredibly rude. Robin gave him an apologetic look and he felt a little less annoyed about it for some reason, Robin wasn't that bad at least. Less then ten minutes later the ship landed and Godzilla felt a strange energy which was odd.

Aqualad spoke, "We must find Atomic Skull quickly, Miss Martian-."

Godzilla cut him off, "He's in a large room on the far side of the building."

Artemis crossed her arms, "And how do you know that?"

"His sound."

Miss Martian looked confused, "What do you mean, what sound?"

"All living creatures produce a frequency that is unique to their species and each sound differs slightly for each person. I can hear those sounds, I could hear another titan's sound over thousands of miles, I can hear his easily from this distance. I know he's in a large room because it distorts his sound slightly, it's almost like echolocation in a way."

The heroes were quiet for a few seconds before Aqualad spoke, "We will all go search for him there then."

Kid Flash looked at Aqualad in shock, "You don't actually believe him do you?"

"If he is telling the truth we won't have to spend so much time looking for him, if he is we will go back to the original plan." Several of the others looked like they were going to argue but they decided against it, Aqualad looked at Godzilla, "Lead the way."

Godzilla didn't need anyone to tell him that, he walked around the building and listened, he looked incredibly focused. None of the heroes said anything in case Godzilla got mad at them for it and he led them to the opposite side of the building. They soon found a large hole in the wall, they hated to admit it but Godzilla might have been right.

Aqualad looked at Superboy, "Take the lead, if Atomic Skull is inside it will be more difficult for him to injure you."

Godzilla raise an eyebrow, did they not realize he could literally survive getting a nuclear bomb dropped on him? However, he didn't say anything as Superboy walked in first, they cautiously walked through the room and soon found Atomic Skull. He was unhooking the wires and such to a small bioreactor, what he wanted to do with it, none of them knew.

Aqualad gestured for them to spread out so they could surround him, they did just that and Robin gestured for Godzilla to stay close to him. Godzilla then heard the sound of something making a clinking sound on the floor and Atomic Skull looked up. He looked right at Robin and without warning sent a beam of energy at Robin, that wasn't good.

Godzilla didn't think twice before moving in front of the attack, it hit him in the chest but it didn't knock him back. It didn't even look like it hurt which surprised the heroes, but the strangest thing was that the scale like clothes he wore were glowing a faint red. The heroes stared at him in shock and he laughed, it was low and almost sounded like a growl.

Atomic Skull actually took a step back and Godzilla looked at him, "You just made a horrible mistake."

Atomic Skull tried blasting him again, it didn't work, Godzilla's eyes started to glow blue, "Nice try, but you know what they say about playing with fire."

Godzilla took a breath and when he let it out he started to breathe blue fire, Atomic Skull got out of the way just in time but the fire managed to take out the fuse box for the lights. None of the heroes could see anything at the moment so when they heard what sounded like fighting it surprised them.

When the backup power kicked in and the lights turned on again Godzilla was standing over an unconscious Atomic Skull. They all stared at him in shock for a minute before Kid Flash shouted, "What was that?!"

Godzilla just growled dismissively, Robin noticed that the red glow was gone and he wondered what had caused it. Godzilla walked away from the villain and rolled his right shoulder, there was a loud popping sound when he did. Aqualad checked to see if Atomic Skull was alive, he was which was surprising but definitely a good thing.

Robin walked over to Godzilla, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, that wasn't even a fight, it was like dealing with an ill tempered child."

Robin nodded, at least he wasn't hurt, "So you can actually breathe fire?"

Godzilla gave him an irritated look, "I can, and?"

Robin smiled, "That's so cool."

Now Godzilla looked confused, "You think it's cool that I can breathe fire, you do realize that means I can burn people to death right?"

Robin shrugged, "It's still cool, but please don't burn anyone to death."

Godzilla just growled dismissively again and the heroes decided to leave, the police were already on their way and Atomic Skull would be out for a while. Of course Aqualad told Batman what happened as they were walking back to the bio-ship. The trip back to the mountain was silent, the air was completely dead and Godzilla was staring out the window.

It seemed like every time they learned something new about Godzilla they became less sure that he was lying about who he was. When they got back to the mountain they found their mentors waiting for them, this probably wasn't good. As soon as Godzilla walked off the ship all of them looked at him and the team didn't dare say a word.

Batman spoke, "What did you do?"

Godzilla crossed his arms, "And by that you mean?"

Batman glared at him, "How did you beat Atomic Skull on your own without any injuries?"

Godzilla growled a little, he didn't like Batman's tone, "You seem to forget, I'm a titan, I'm used to fighting colossal creatures not small and fragile humans."

Aquaman spoke, "You're human."

"No, I'm not, and I'm done answering the same idiotic questions."

Godzilla started walking out of the room, Superman grabbed his arm, "We're not done-."

He was cut off when Godzilla twisted his arm and easily forced him to the ground, he held him there by putting his foot on his chest. "I could kill you, I could break the bones in your chest right now, I could burn you to ashes, I could even tear your throat out." The heroes were frozen, Godzilla growled, "You're lucky I've decided not to, for now at least."

With that Godzilla just walked away, Superman got up and none of the heroes knew what to do, just then, for a split second, they'd actually been scared of him.
