My head hurts.
It felt like I had a very, very long dream.
Groggily opening my eyes, Zola realized she was inside a spaceship.
But when?
When did she get into this ship, and where was she?
Her brain, like a long-idle bearing, turned stiffly. Long-forgotten memories surfaced in her mind. She clutched her slightly throbbing head and murmured to herself.
"Father... the disaster that destroyed Krypton... the escape ship... heading to a distant planet with a yellow sun."
Open the hatch.
Hiss!
She commanded the ship, and with a burst of hot steam, the hatch opened.
The yellow sun poured down on her, and Kara instantly felt a warmth, like returning to her mother's embrace.
Mother...
Looking at the yellow sun that didn't belong to Krypton, a flicker of sadness flashed in her eyes.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Kara spotted two strange men behind a pile of meteorites looking at her. Having experienced military training at university, she quickly dropped her pose and assumed a fighting stance. Her expression was guarded, and she clenched her fists, her body brimming with explosive power, as if she had endless strength.
As the legends say, the yellow sun can unlock the powers of us Kryptonians.
Kara thought, observing the two men nonchalantly.
But is this really a distant alien planet?
Why did people from other planets look no different from them, Kryptonians?
"She seems lost and wary?"
About ten steps away, Clark dared not make any sudden moves, afraid of startling the woman before him.
"Anyone who went to an unfamiliar planet and suddenly saw an alien would probably be like this," David said with a chuckle.
Seeing a woman emerge from the spaceship, he could easily deduce her identity – Clark's cousin, Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl.
Two young people of similar age, both handsome, wearing clothes of peculiar style, were talking about her right in front of her, as if she couldn't hear them?
"Who are you, and why are you wearing my family crest on your clothes!"
This made Kara somewhat angry. Her gaze fell on the crest on Clark's chest, and her expression immediately changed again.
"Actually, that's what I wanted to ask you."
Clark opened his mouth, hesitating. He wanted to step forward but was afraid of scaring this woman who had just arrived on an unfamiliar planet.
The woman who appeared in the spaceship had the same family crest on her chest as him. Did this prove that the person before him was related to him by blood, from the same family?
Besides his father, who had transformed into an electronic life form, he had other relatives alive.
"Are... are you also from the House of El?"
"Also?"
But Kara didn't think Clark was her kin.
There were only a few people in the House of El: herself, her parents, her uncle and aunt, and baby Kal, who was born not long ago.
Buzz buzz!
Suddenly, a deafening noise surged like a tide, drilling into her ears. She was extremely uncomfortable, her expression becoming annoyed and pained as she let out a low groan!
"I am Kara Zor-El. How dare you impersonate someone from our House of El."
Kara Zor-El?
Clark's expression stiffened. He had heard that name before. When he and David took his uncle Jor-El to the Fortress of Solitude, his father had told him about the members of the House of El. Kara was his uncle's daughter, thus his cousin.
"You didn't die in the Kryptonian explosion? That's great!"
Right, since his uncle Jor-El survived the Kryptonian explosion, it seemed normal for his cousin to have survived as well.
He wondered if he had any other relatives alive, and the thought made Clark incredibly excited.
"Focus your attention, don't mind those sounds. Use your brain to block out the information you don't want to receive," David said, seeing Kara awakening her Kryptonian super-hearing.
Having gained the Hyperion King template, he had firsthand experience in controlling his own super-senses.
"Who exactly are you?"
One person trying to impersonate her family, and another kindly giving her advice. Kara, who was about to be overwhelmed by the noise and lose her ability to think calmly, was confused. Were these two before her friend or foe?
"He is my younger brother, and I... I am your younger cousin. I am Kal-El."
Clark quickly spoke his Kryptonian name, hoping to make Kara lower her guard.
"Liar!"
But this only enraged the agitated Kara. She flashed in front of Clark and sent him flying with a punch. Clark's body crashed through over a dozen thick trees as he was sent flying backward.
"Little Kal was still an infant. I held him just three days ago, and you're impersonating him?"
She saw this impersonation, which even a fool wouldn't fall for, as a provocation. The other party might have captured her cousin and used him to provoke her.
Bang!
"And you, what did you do to him?"
Immediately after, Kara's movements were like lightning as she tore through the air, throwing another punch at David, but he caught it steadily with his raised hand.
A circular shockwave exploded, sweeping away all the fallen leaves within tens of meters. A strong wind blew up David's cape from behind him. He looked at Kara with a calm expression, as if he didn't consider her punch an attack at all.
"Calm down."
He spoke slowly.
David understood what was happening.
"Interstellar travel is sometimes full of many accidents. The current time might be different from what you originally thought."
The Kryptonian spacecraft possessed space jump technology, but Supergirl had encountered some unexpected issues during her journey to Earth, sent by her father. She had veered off course and drifted in space for twenty years before arriving on Earth.
Her fist felt numb as if she had punched a steel planet, and Kara stared at the young man in front of her with a look of astonishment.
She could feel that after being exposed to the yellow sun, her physique had soared, her strength even surpassing that of a space carrier's main ship. Yet, she couldn't even make this man budge, not even make him sway.
Was her feeling of infinite strength an illusion?
"That punch had quite a lot of force."
Slamming heavily onto the ground, Clark sat up with a dirt-covered face, rubbing his chin, which felt dislocated, and grimaced in pain as he looked at Kara, who was wearing the same blue and red suit.
Why did it feel like his cousin's strength was even greater than his?
She was a woman, and she didn't look particularly muscular. Her limbs were slender, so why did her punches hurt so much?
David released Kara's hand and stepped back.
The man before him clearly possessed strength far beyond hers, but he hadn't attacked her.
His actions told Kara he had no hostile intent, which made her even more confused. Could it really be as he said?
"What evidence do you have?"
Her expression was still full of vigilance as she looked back and forth between the two of them, but she no longer looked like she was about to attack.
"We have evidence.
Before my father died, he backed up his thoughts and memories into an intelligent life form.
And… we can take you to see him."
Seeing Clark about to mention the existence of Jor-El in his excitement, David quickly shook his head at him secretly.
Clark was stunned for a moment before understanding, his heart tightening. If he told Kara, who already didn't trust them, about her father's current situation, the misunderstanding might become difficult to resolve. He quickly decided to skip over this matter for now.
His uncle, Jor-El, had not only been turned into a cyborg by Brainiac but had also been brainwashed by Brainiac due to his memory loss, becoming Brainiac's loyal subordinate. They had no choice but to destroy his mechanical body structure and imprison him in the Fortress of Solitude.
"You… are you talking about my uncle, Jor-El?"
Clark looked at the two young men before him with hesitation.
Was their offer to take her to see her uncle, Jor-El, a trap?
Should she really trust them and go with them?
I visited a sick elder today and took a leave of absence. The update is a bit late, and there's only one chapter today. I apologize, and I will make up for the missed chapter later.
The chapters I owed last month have already been made up by adding five to six hundred words daily. I think I've even added a little extra in total.
I currently owe one chapter.
