Chapter 13: Chapter 13
What happened next left Bruce confused—and shocked.
For a moment, he even wondered if he was too old to keep up with the times.
Or maybe Kara was just too naïve and trusting?
Could Kryptonians be even more liberal than Americans?
He watched in disbelief as Kara kissed Nolin!
And not just a peck—a full-blown French kiss!
Was this real? Where did she even learn that?
Seeing Kara's boldness and initiative, Bruce suddenly felt that Nolin and Kara might actually be a perfect match.
"This feels... nice! Is this one of the ways Earthlings express affection?"
Kara asked as she looked away toward the wall, trying to stay focused.
"What are you looking at?"
Nolin asked curiously, only to realize Kara's true intentions.
Bruce also glanced in the same direction and immediately understood—so this was what they were doing?
Nolin's expression suddenly turned a bit strange.
In the direction Kara was looking, there was a scene of one man and two women... engaged in the next step of intimacy.
Judging from their behavior, it was clear the two women were professionals.
Nolin quickly turned his head away.
He couldn't let Kara watch something like this—it might corrupt her innocent mind.
Better he teach her himself.
Hiss~
Kara seemed curious and eager to try it herself.
"Wait!"
Nolin quickly stopped her and then glanced at Bruce, signaling him to leave.
Damn it!
Bruce couldn't believe what was happening.
Wasn't today's situation already absurd enough?
Was he supposed to be the third wheel now?
Cursing under his breath, Bruce stormed out of the room.
But the moment he stepped outside, he realized something was off.
Wait—this is my house! Why am I the one leaving?
Still, Bruce shook his head and decided not to make a scene.
Instead, he poured himself a drink in the kitchen, downed it, and stared at his reflection in the mirror.
He still looked the same.
But deep down, he knew he wasn't the same person anymore.
"At least I can face the fight in my best condition!"
Boom!
A loud crash echoed through the manor.
Bruce flinched and turned toward the noise.
"Don't worry! It's just a mistake! I forgot my biology lessons!"
What???
Bruce raised an eyebrow at Nolin's awkward explanation from afar.
Was this training—or house demolition?
Maybe he really didn't understand Superman's world.
Bruce looked out the window.
The sky was dark with heavy clouds, reflecting the unease he felt in his heart.
The commotion lasted for half a day.
Under Nolin's enhanced strength and stamina, Kara—still weak—was ultimately overwhelmed.
But Nolin could feel it.
Every cell in his body was transforming and evolving, growing stronger and more resilient.
Even though Kara carried Krypton's genetic code, she wasn't naturally born like Kal-El.
Only Kal-El had been conceived naturally, and he was already dead—killed by Zod.
This meant Kara's potential wasn't as great as Kal-El's.
But with Nolin's help, Kara's potential was slowly increasing.
The changes weren't obvious yet, but with time and repeated enhancements, Kara would inevitably reach a new level!
At least for now, Nolin could already sense his own genetic improvements through their interactions.
He was curious—how strong would Kara become?
Would she transform into Silver Supergirl? Golden Supergirl?
Would she eventually reach—or surpass—Superman's limits in the comics?
Looking at the exhausted Kara sleeping soundly, Nolin quietly cleaned up the mess in the room and went to find Bruce.
By this time, Bruce had fallen asleep.
But it wasn't a restful sleep—the occasional tremors during the "training session" had kept him on edge.
"Finally done?"
Bruce muttered as soon as Nolin approached.
Even from several feet away, Nolin could sense Bruce's frustration.
Nolin chuckled awkwardly.
"Kara is still recovering, so she's sleeping again."
Good grief!
Even though you knew she was weak, you still pushed her to the limit?
That's brutal!
No—forget brutal.
You even knocked out Supergirl!
What kind of monster are you?
"How do you feel?"
"Fantastic! Amazing! Best experience ever!"
Nolin grinned.
It was... smooth.
Even though Kara wasn't wearing a sleek black dress, her battle suit was just as alluring.
Wait, wasn't Kara only 16 years old?
But hey, this was Gotham.
Age didn't matter here.
"Damn it! I meant, how's your power boost?"
Bruce snapped, annoyed by Nolin's casual remarks.
How dare he talk like this in front of an old man!
"Oh! My bad—sorry!"
Nolin laughed and finally gave a serious answer.
"The effects are great. I can feel my cells evolving, and my genes have improved."
"But we'll need more exposure to sunlight."
"Also, we'll need some facilities to ensure we can continue to enhance our strength before Zod arrives."
Nolin glanced at Bruce.
"You know what I mean—something that provides sunlight but remains hidden from the outside world. Special glass could work too."
"I still think staying in space is better, but if time's short, we'll make do."
Bruce twitched.
Was this guy seriously asking me to build a palace?
But for the sake of the world, Bruce could only grit his teeth and accept it.
"What about you? Are you leaving?"
"Yes," Nolin nodded.
"I forgot to mention—I'm still a student in my own universe, a high schooler. There are some abilities there that could help us defeat Zod."
"If things go well, the World Engine and Zod won't be a problem."
"Also, time flows differently between the two universes. From what I've observed, the ratio is about 1:10."
"If I stay in this world for ten days, only one day will pass in the other world—and vice versa."
Nolin had already studied this phenomenon in the Black Robe universe.
It was ridiculous—but real.
And it was a blessing in disguise.
This gave him 10 times more time to prepare and grow stronger before facing Zod.
Bruce was skeptical about Nolin ever returning but had no choice but to agree.
Ten times the time advantage, combined with resources from another universe?
If that wasn't enough to defeat Zod, then perhaps Earth was doomed.
Bruce felt humiliated.
A high school kid had to save the world?
Where were all the adults?
As Bruce sighed, Nolin vanished before his eyes.
