Dc: Start Female Superman

Chapter 14: Chapter 13



That night, Kara took a high-speed flight home alone. When she arrived, her family was already asleep.

Kara quietly opened the window and slipped back into her room. The first floor of this small house consisted of the living room, kitchen, and other facilities. The upper floor was the living area. Her adoptive parents' room was the largest, followed by Kara's, and finally Clark's cabin.

After putting on her pajamas, Kara silently went downstairs to open the fridge. They had several cows at home, which used to be Clark's main source of food, but now it had become a regular drink in the house.

She poured herself a glass of milk and took a sip when her ears twitched, hearing the faint sound of footsteps coming down the stairs.

Kara turned around, and in the next second, she saw the figure of her adoptive mother, Martha, appearing at the staircase.

With two sensitive children in the family, both Martha and Jonathan had developed the habit of moving quietly around the house at night to avoid waking them.

Martha hadn't slept until now because Kara hadn't come home, and she felt relieved when she saw her standing there.

"Why so late?" Martha asked in a soft voice.

Kara pointed upstairs. "Clark's already asleep, it's fine."

Martha was afraid of waking Clark, as the boy still couldn't control his powers as perfectly as Kara, and sometimes he still picked up many sounds with his ears.

Lately, Clark had been quite troubled by it.

Luckily, Clark was slowly regaining control, so he no longer acted as strangely at school.

"I went to see a movie with Jennifer and Dani earlier. I didn't realize how late it was. I'm sorry," Kara briefly explained, smoothly lying.

At home, Martha was very lenient with the children and usually didn't scold them.

Jonathan's words were also very affectionate toward the two kids, but he often maintained the image of a strict father. Being a first-time parent, he sometimes seemed overly strict.

However, most of the time, he was still approachable.

Especially with Kara—Jonathan felt very reassured by her, not knowing about her other side, the one with the titles of "strong girl" and "bully."

If Jonathan ever heard that someone from the underworld was trying to challenge Kara, his mind would probably explode.

After chatting with her adoptive mother for a while, Kara refilled her glass and then returned upstairs to her room with the milk.

It was as if nothing had happened that day, as if she hadn't killed someone for the first time earlier; everything felt so peaceful.

But by the next day, the situation had finally come to light.

When she woke up early in the morning, there was a police car alongside the school bus.

Kara was taken away, supposedly in connection with a murder.

Jonathan and Martha were extremely worried, and Clark wanted to go with them, but Kara stopped him, so he wouldn't have to worry and could just go to school as usual.

Kara was taken to the police station, where she found that the two drunks from the previous night had also been brought in, along with Jennifer and Dani.

The body of the drunk man who had died in the alley was discovered by the garbage collector in the morning, causing a sensation in the quiet town.

In such a small town, the biggest incidents in the past were usually fights, but today, there was a life-taking case.

Kara was taken to the interrogation room, where a police officer took her statement, asking about the events of the previous night.

Kara didn't hesitate. She first talked about how the three friends had hung out in town and then mentioned that while she and Jennifer were waiting for the bus, they were harassed by three drunken men.

Up until the point about the life-taking incident, Kara described everything sincerely, with nothing differing from the other testimonies. The police officer was vaguely nodding in agreement.

That was until the disagreements emerged.

Dani's statement said she left first, so she didn't know what happened afterward.

Jennifer's statement was that she only saw Kara taking one of the drunk men away, but she didn't know what happened after that.

Regarding these confessions, Kara could understand them, even those of the two drunk men. They stuck to the story Kara had told the previous night, saying that a person dressed in a bat suit appeared and admitted to killing their companion.

Feeling satisfied, Kara delivered the final part of her planned confession, saying that she had intended to scare the drunk man, but when she reached the alley, she encountered a man dressed as a bat.

"He threatened and intimidated me so much that I had no choice but to leave, and after that, I didn't know what happened and didn't dare to look back."

Why did that guy die?

After finishing her planned statement, Kara subtly led the officer across from her to say what she wanted to hear.

The officer on the other side, without thinking, said, "He was killed with a powerful and terrifying weapon, like a legendary laser gun or some sort of fire weapon."

The officer shook his head as he spoke. In fact, they still hadn't determined what kind of weapon had killed the man.

It must be said that the heat vision rays are very strong, but a small test can kill a person instantly, leaving no trace for investigation.

"A laser gun? Like the ones in the movies? Is it possible to make one?" Kara began to show off her acting skills, pretending to exclaim exaggeratedly and said enviously, "If it's possible, I really want to meet that guy again and see what a real laser gun looks like."

In fact, she was leading them to focus entirely on Batman.

Anyway, Batman hadn't debuted yet, so where could they find him?

Even if Batman did debut, he was still a "vigilante" not protected or supported by the law at first, so it didn't matter if there was one more scapegoat, right?

"That guy is dangerous; you better not think about meeting him," the officer on the other side warned Kara, who appeared to be an innocent and beautiful girl but was the real culprit.

In this way, under Kara's careful orchestration, all the clues pointed to Batman, who hadn't debuted yet.

It wasn't that everyone else was foolish, but Kara's confession aligned perfectly with those of the two drunks, meaning that both the plaintiff and the defendant's statements pointed to a third party, leaving no room for further questions.

Moreover, the weapon used to kill the drunk man was unimaginable, and all signs indicated that Kara had nothing to do with it, making the situation seem so easy and simple.

In truth, Kara had been worried about the situation, but now it seemed like everything was going smoothly.

Speaking of which, the two drunk men were quite cooperative afterward, weren't they?

Kara displayed a thoughtful expression and seemed to have a slight understanding: "Actually, it wasn't because I threatened them. It seems I unlocked a new ability—something like a hypnotic or mind-control power."

It's similar to how Superman can't be recognized when wearing a suit and glasses. Though Superman does use some disguise, the key is his suggestive influence on others, preventing them from recognizing him.

Kara had awakened this new ability last night, which made those two drunks cooperate so willingly and perfectly.

"Alright, you can go now. Your parents are waiting for you outside," the officer's voice brought Kara back to reality.

Kara turned her head. Indeed, a one-way mirror was used in the interrogation room, and the soundproofing was excellent, but she could still see her adoptive parents outside.

At that moment, Kara smiled and signaled to them that everything was fine.

However, Jonathan's face looked grim. He could hide it from others, but not from his own family.
