(Rocket POV)

So I was almost home, when I had to fly back to the Hall of Justice. I forgot my fucking costume. I found it in a secured room surrounded by some impressive weaponry

Getting dressed, I thought about how I'm gonna get Frank back. The fucking weed needs to be taken down, insulting me and calling me Butterface isn't gonna stick

Once dressed, I noticed a mace on the wall. It had a long wooden handle with a thick chain on the end and a big steel ball with gold spikes. I liked it so much, I decided to take it. I think it belonged to Hawkman, and seen as he wanted to kill me, he didn't deserve his little toy

Flying back out of the building, and laughing when I heard the porn start up, I flew home feeling both happy and sad

I was happy cause I found a solid lead towards the Shadow Master, that being Deathstroke, but sad at the torture the children are going through

As Gotham came into view, I noticed the streets full of people rioting. I laughed when a lot of 'em were dressed similar to me

As I flew closer to the crowd, they started cheering and clapping, chanting my name

I floated above 'em for a few minutes, waving and greeting a few

Some wanted photographs, which of course I obliged. I kissed babies and got so many pats and hugs, it felt amazing

When I decided to leave, the crowd started booing making me laugh

I did thank 'em all, but I asked 'em to go home. Rioting is fun, but not always the answer

As I was flying to my home, I noticed a flower shop, and smirked as a thought came to mind. Landing in front of the shop, I walked in and surprised the owner

She was an older woman, but had a wiccan feel about her

"Hello dear" She smiled

"Hi ma'am, I was wondering if you had Orange lilies?"

"Uh....I do, but do you know what they mean?" She asked worriedly

"I do indeed ma'am, that's why I'm wanting 'em" I smirk "But preferably in a pot please, if I brought home cut ones, my girl wouldn't be impressed"

"You mean Poison Ivy?" The woman smiles

"Exactly"

"Just give me a minute or two, and I'll have it ready"

"Thank you ma'am" It didn't take her long to wrap the large potted flowers. Despite their meaning, they were quite beautiful

"There you go dear, free of charge"

"Oh I can't do that" I smile, and click a few buttons on my glove. Then I get the notification that the 1,000 bucks went into her account

Her computer beeps and she looks at it with a frown "What I did was not worth 1,000 dear, it's only 75" She says to me

"Think of it as a tip" I chuckle 'Well, you have a nice day ma'am"
