I became light in American comics

"Ok?"

The old wizard raised an eyebrow when he saw the person and cat that Shen You had brought back.

He stared at Kara intently for a while, which frightened her so much that she shrank back behind Shen You. The little girl and the kitten peeked out from behind him side by side, cautiously observing the strange old man.

The old wizard smiled and stroked his long beard.

"Interesting. Another outsider has been picked up. It seems I've really been out of touch with the world for many years and am quite ignorant."

The old man was indeed quite capable; he immediately recognized that the girl was not human either.

Not long after they returned, Kara's stomach started rumbling. Stretch also looked listless and meowed twice. The two of them looked pitifully at Shen You.

While it's true that Kryptonians and cats could gain superpowers just by basking in the sun on Earth, it would still take time. Even Superman's abilities gradually awakened over the two or three decades he lived on Earth.

However, Shen You speculated that this was probably due to individual differences among Kryptonians. Superman took thirty years to learn to fly after coming to Earth, but General Zod caught up with his progress of more than thirty years in just a few days.

Shen You didn't think it was because Superman's talent and aptitude were significantly different; it was probably due to age. Perhaps the age and physical development of Kryptonians would reflect the difference in superpowers to some extent. There are also comics that show that older Supermen in some parallel universes are stronger and have a wider variety of abilities than when they were younger.

Of course, these are all speculations, and further investigation by Kryptonian volunteers is needed. When this Kryptonian girl will awaken is still unknown; we'll have to see if her physical development is healthy then.

Before awakening, she will definitely still need to eat normally like a human. Shen You angrily asked the old chef to make her some French fries and a hamburger.

It turns out that carbs really do bring happiness, even for Kryptonians. Kara munched on her burger and fries, getting her mouth all over with the thick, white sauce inside.

Meanwhile, Shen You secretly took the opportunity to scan her from head to toe and uploaded the preliminary data to his private terminal, which was directly connected to the Time-Space Bracelet, thus obtaining his first invaluable Kryptonian body scan data.

We'll have to ask Kara to cooperate with drawing some blood for research samples later. It's better to do this sooner rather than later; who knows when she'll become as tough as steel, unable to even break through human defenses, making blood collection much more difficult than it is now.

Whether it was because she hadn't eaten in so long or because it was her first time encountering Earth food, Kara was moved to tears, her mouth full as she mumbled, "Delicious...this is so delicious."

"Eat slowly, don't choke. Nobody's going to take it from you," Shen You said with a smile.

Kara glanced at Strych, who was looking on longingly, and her heart softened. She asked, "Can I share some with him? He's my good friend."

“Don’t worry, I’ve gone to buy it some special cat food,” Shen You said.

Kara looked at the fried food in front of her, completely bewildered.

"This tastes delicious, can't we give it some?"

"Oh, this isn't healthy," Shen You said casually.

The little girl stopped talking instantly.

It's as if the hamburger in my mouth suddenly doesn't taste so good anymore.

"."

After a satisfying meal, the next step is to address hygiene.

Kara's white dress was quite pretty, but it was the same one she'd been wearing since leaving Krypton. After the crash, she'd run for ages through muddy woodlands and bushes, leaving her looking like a zebra in her white dress and covered in dust and dirt.

"Take a shower first and clean yourself up," Shen You said. "I don't have any clothes for you here, but it's okay, I'll go next door and borrow a couple from Aunt Ye. Her daughter should have some."

Kara seemed to understand, but he led her by the hand to the bathroom.

Shen You took down the showerhead and demonstrated how to use it and how to spray water. These things were very new to Kara; obviously, Krypton, as an eleventh-level civilization, shouldn't have showerheads. However, she learned quickly, mastering it after a brief explanation.

Then her gaze settled on the toilet in the bathroom.

She tugged at Shen You's sleeve: "So what's this for?"

Obviously, they don't have toilets on Krypton.

So Shen You gave a vague explanation of how to use it. He roughly said that when you urgently need to use the restroom, you sit on this ring, and afterwards you flush, with two types: a large flush and a small flush.

However, he guessed that Kryptonians might have a fundamentally different way of dealing with physiological problems, since Kara didn't seem to understand.

Then she tugged at his sleeve, her big, innocent eyes wide open: "Can you demonstrate?"

Shen You: "."

Let's leave that topic aside for now, and Shen You will lead her to his room.

Now Shen You increasingly felt that leaving a few empty rooms during the renovation was indeed a wise decision. He simply tidied up an empty room, settled the Kryptonian little girl and her cat inside, and then turned and plunged into his underground laboratory.

Kara's ship, which had come with her, was also moved back under the cover of the stealth mode of the mobile armor. Two hours earlier, Pal had begun attempting to dock with the ship's AI.

Krypton Technology is quite capable, and its security protocol uses technology that Shen You has never seen before. The ship's hull is completely locked, both physically and internally, and no one without authorization has the right to access it.

Shen You guessed that if Hikari were here, he would have a way, but he was just an intern and was not confident that he could bypass the security protocol without damaging the data.

Fortunately, he didn't need to do that.

He tricked Kara into touching the ship's hull, and the security protocol was immediately lifted. A beautiful female voice then filled the spaceship.

"Kara-Zo-El, welcome, Star Daughter, the last daughter of Krypton."

All data and files are unlocked, including Kryptonian culture, their science and technology, history and humanities, as well as illustrations and knowledge of some interstellar races collected by the Kryptonians.

Clearly, Kara's parents are in the same situation as Superman. Krypton is about to be destroyed, and they want to save not only their own children, but also all the treasures created by this once-glorious civilization.

This is undoubtedly a generous gift. Although it will take a lot of time to digest and understand this knowledge system, which is fundamentally different from what Shen You has learned, even just absorbing some experience and inspiration will surely be of great benefit.

Just like Superman would seek help from his solitary fortress when he encounters a formidable enemy or a difficult technical problem.

In addition, Shen You checked the spaceship's log and got a general understanding of Kara's situation on Earth.

She was a little later than her cousin when Krypton exploded, and her ship was caught in the aftershocks. The warp drive was affected, and the ship failed to jump to sector 2814, where Earth is located, as originally planned. Instead, it strayed into the Phantom Zone and was stranded for twenty years.

Up to this point, everything was as he had known before.

But he immediately searched for data about the mantis he had killed earlier.

Li-Bago, an Atlonian, was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Kryptonian court for intentional assault. He is in the Phantom Zone.

Kara flew out of the Phantom Zone, and this person might be one too.

And since both of them have come out, there might even be more.

The most vicious criminals on Krypton.

“Sir, that alien lady seems to be looking for you,” Pal reminded him.

"Ok?"

He left the lab and went back upstairs, where he bumped into Kara, who was wearing a lace nightgown and looking strange.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

"No, no. I was just staring out the window, and then I saw... I saw..."

Kara's expression grew increasingly strange, as if she had some difficulty describing what she was seeing.

"Calm down, don't be nervous. Tell me what you saw?" Shen You asked.

Kara asked cautiously, "Do people dressed like bats often sleep in trash cans on the street around here?"

Shen You: "?"

Chapter 19 Justice or Revenge

A few minutes later, Batman was lying on a table in the back kitchen of the coffee shop, barely alive.

Kara peeked into the room from behind the door. Shen You removed his bat helmet, revealing the handsome but bruised and battered face of Gotham's son, Bruce Wayne.

"Is he dead?" Kara asked softly.

"Not yet, but it should be ready soon if we leave it alone."

Shen You took out a first-aid kit, removed two bullets from his body, and performed some bandaging.

The old wizard leaned over for a look and seemed to have a good first impression of this rich second-generation with a cross-dressing fetish, and even gave him a healing spell.

The old wizard was too weak to cast any powerful spells, but he could still easily perform a simple healing spell. One spell was enough to bring color back to Bruce's almost deathly pale face, and he soon regained consciousness.

The young Batman opened his eyes groggily.

The first thing I noticed was the bright lights and the unfamiliar ceiling.

The second thing I noticed was an old man with a big beard and a somewhat handsome Asian man standing around, in a position that seemed to say, "You're awake, the surgery was a success."

He was suddenly thrown up, almost tearing his freshly bandaged wound apart.

"Calm down, we picked you out of a trash can in the back alley; you almost died."

Bruce remained silent, seemingly beginning to recall what had happened that evening. Seeing the bandages on his body and the first-aid kit beside him, he quickly realized what had occurred.

He snorted coldly, ignoring the groans of his body, and stubbornly tried to get off the table. But clearly, his body hadn't recovered yet, and he swayed and almost fell over.

Shen You reached out and supported him: "This is not a good idea."

“I don’t need help,” Bruce said coldly.

Shen You shrugged: "Okay."

Then, suddenly, he withdrew his hand as instructed.

puff.

Bruce fell to the ground.

The proud old bat remained silent, struggling to his feet while holding onto the edge of the table. Shen You gestured to the television nearby: "Didn't your date with the GCPD go well tonight?"

He turned his head and saw the television news broadcasting the GCPD's operation to raid Batman that night. A portly police officer said to the camera that they were certain Batman was injured and hoped that citizens who knew his whereabouts would report to the police.

Bruce frowned, somewhat unconvinced by the pot-bellied officer's boasting: "They can't hurt me on their own. Someone leaked my whereabouts to them, predicted my actions, and even planted a bomb in the Batmobile."

A new face appeared, calling himself the 'Riddler'.

Shen You understood. It turned out the Riddler was using someone else to do his dirty work, employing the Gotham police as his weapon to get rid of Batman.

Tonight was probably the first time this inexperienced gentleman had dealt with members of his future Arkham fan club, lacking the extensive experience he would later have of mingling with mentally ill people. It was inevitable that he would suffer a setback the first time.

But his proud and defiant nature never changed. Watching the chubby police officer on TV smugly telling the camera how Batman had been utterly defeated that night, Bruce snorted.

"It was my carelessness, but it won't happen again."

"What are your plans for next time? To build an armor set with 100,000 horsepower, plus a thruster that can fly faster than light?" Shen You said. "Of course, you can definitely do it, it's just a matter of time. But do you think that's what you want? Is that the Batman you want to create, the ideal Batman?"

Bruce was silent.

For what seemed to be the first time, Bruce looked directly at Shen You, meeting his gaze as if trying to pierce through his eyes with the sharp eyes of the world's greatest detective and see through his thoughts.

“What are you trying to say?” Bruce asked curtly.
