Chapter 211: A 13-Year-Old Older Sister?
Boom!
With a roar in the air, Kal-El and Diana finally arrived at the Justice League.
Dropping from mid-air, Kal-El and Diana walked into the base.
Seeing this familiar scene, Kal-El also had an indescribable feeling.
Come to think of it, he really seemed to rarely return here.
For a long time, he had been staying in a different universe, probably because the Justice League he built with his own hands was there.
Faora, Wanda, and the others all regarded him as the boss of the Justice League, so of course he had to take responsibility.
As for here, with Batman around, he didn't need to worry too much.
Just as they entered the interior of the base, Batman Brucecame up to greet them from inside.
"You guys really are busy bees; it's rare that you still remember the Justice League."
"There really have been a lot of things to busy ourselves with lately, couldn't get away."
Although Bruce complained verbally, he still opened his arms and gave Kal-El a hug.
"Welcome back!"
He patted Kal-El on the back.
Kal-El also smiled slightly.
"I believe that with you guarding the Justice League, nothing will go wrong."
"I don't have that kind of ability."
Bruce looked at Diana on the side.
"Welcome back, Goddess of the Justice League."
Diana's lips curled up.
"Bruce Wayne, when did you turn into a flatterer?"
"…"
The three of them walked toward the hall together.
Bruce Wayne turned his head and smiled.
"Kal-El, I think you need to meet someone."
"What person? You should know that I'm not interested in those boring social events, nor do I want to deal with any strangers."
"You will be interested!"
As the three just entered the base hall, they saw Harley Quinn playing a game with a girl.
The two were closely watching the game characters on the big screen.
Under Kara's storm-like attack, Harley Quinn was about to lose.
Seeing Kal-El and the others walking in, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Superman, Diana, you're finally back, I've prepared a big gift for you."
Harley Quinn immediately abandoned the game and walked quickly toward Diana and the others.
Leaving only Kara in place with dark lines covering her forehead.
She was somewhat angry looking at Harley Quinn who suddenly went AFK and acted shamelessly.
Kal-El just glanced indifferently at Harley Quinn, then turned his head to look at Bruce Wayne.
"This wouldn't be the person you said I'd be interested in, right? I'm only interested in sending her to prison."
Hearing Kal-El's words, Harley Quinn's smile instantly froze.
"Don't, I definitely don't want to go back to prison, my money hasn't been spent yet!"
Diana said somewhat helplessly.
"What is the gift you mentioned?"
Harley Quinn immediately pulled Kara over from the side.
"Look!"
At this moment, Kara was also staring straight at Kal-El.
As a fellow Kryptonian, she felt that same-kind aura on Kal-El.
Kal-El raised an eyebrow.
"Kryptonian?"
Kara nodded.
"I am Kara Zor-El, Kal-El's cousin, here on Earth to protect Kal."
That wasn't surprising.
Kal-El knew that in the original settings, Kara arrived on Earth many years after Kal-El came to Earth.
In the setting, before Krypton was about to be destroyed and Kal-El was sent to Earth, Kara had already been sent out from Krypton.
It was so that Kara could come to Earth first to scout ahead and protect Kal-El, who was still an infant at the time.
But due to the shockwave generated by Krypton's explosion, Kara's spaceship went off course.
Entering a special region—the Phantom Zone.
Time stopped flowing here, and Kara slept in the Phantom Zone for many years before breaking free.
This also resulted in the fact that although she was Kal-El's older sister, she still currently looked like a teenage girl.
Moreover, Kara also had a nickname called the Disgrace of Krypton.
Her combat power and performance were insufficient, and she was often suppressed by villains in battle.
Even some minor characters could defeat her with high-tech weapons.
But no matter what, since he was here, he would no longer let Kara become the Disgrace of Krypton.
Kal-El smiled slightly at Kara.
"I am Kal-El, considered your cousin, arriving on Earth over a hundred years ago."
Hearing Kal-El's words, Kara also breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, Kal-El was also a Kryptonian, and moreover belonged to the House of El.
She was still relatively reassured about Kal-El.
With Kal-El and Clark on Earth, she wouldn't have to worry about being deceived by those cunning Earthlings anymore.
Kal-El looked at Kara, who still had the appearance of a little girl; who would have thought that Kara was already decades old.
Is this considered a legal loli?
"You will temporarily live with us at the Justice League, and I will notify Clark to come over."
Kara nodded slightly, revealing a smile.
"Thank you!"
Harley Quinn on the side, seeing that the family-reunion segment had already ended, proudly stepped forward.
"Superman, Diana, it was I who brought Kara out from the military base."
Kal-El looked at Harley Quinn with some surprise.
"You would do a good deed?"
"Superman, I turned over a new leaf a long time ago, okay? I've always been doing good deeds."
Diana smiled and tugged on Kal-El's arm.
Bruce Wayne also nodded and recounted Kara's encounter.
Understanding the course of events, a fierce light suddenly flashed in Kal-El's eyes.
"Have those people been dealt with?"
"The two ringleaders, Colonel Huidan and Lieutenant Colonel Cobey, are already dead, and everyone else involved has been arrested by the FBI."
Kal-El then set his mind at ease.
"Regardless, since they wanted to use Kryptonians for experiments, we can't let them have a comfortable time in prison."
"And that batch of researchers who dared to lay hands on Kryptonians, throw them into prison as well."
Bruce Wayne did not object either.
Since they participated in such experiments, they had already broken the law, and prison was their destination.
To turn to another matter, Clark at the Kent Farm in Kansaswas somewhat puzzled after receiving Kal-El's call.
When did he suddenly get a 13-year-old older sister?
But he didn't ask much either; he knew Kal-El wouldn't use such trivial matters to mess with him.
"Martha, I need to go out for a trip."
"Leaving again?"
Foster mother Martha thought Clark was going to leave again right after getting home, like before when he couldn't be seen for a long time.
"There's just some matter at the Justice League that I need to go handle."
Martha put her mind at ease.
"Then be careful!"
Clark leaped up, instantly shooting into the high altitude, and changed direction at high altitude to fly toward the Justice League.
His speed was very fast, streaking through the sky like a hypersonic missile.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the Justice League.
Landing on the ground, he stepped into the base.
After seeing Kal-El, he cast a puzzled look at Kal-El.
Kal-El pulled Kara forward.
"Let me introduce you, this is Kara Zor-El, also your older sister, a fellow Kryptonian like us, sent by the family to Earth to protect you."
Seeing that Kara was so young, Clark thought he was experiencing auditory hallucinations.
He shook his head and smiled.
"You say she's a Kryptonian and I can admit that, but saying she's my older sister is just too ridiculous."
"Besides, a little girl like her, how is she going to protect me?"
Chapter 212: Arrogant Blond
Kal-El had no doubts about Kara's Kryptonian identity, but to say that a teenage girl in front of him was his older sister, he could be certain this was Kal-El playing a prank.
"Kal-El, I am your older sister, Kara Zor-El, and I'm here on Earth to protect you."
Clark smiled slightly.
"I don't need anyone else's protection right now; I can protect myself well enough."
Kara had no choice but to explain it all over again.
"Time stands still in the Phantom Zone. I slept there for a very long time and couldn't grow up."
At this point, Clark also had to accept the fact that he suddenly had a thirteen-year-old older sister.
"Alright, then do you have any thoughts about the future?"
Clark asked Kara.
"You know I don't need protection right now."
Kara didn't know what she was going to do next either.
Although her actual age wasn't small, her mental age was indeed only in her teens.
Those decades of deep sleep were like a blank space in her memory.
Now she still bore the appearance of a little girl, and a child like this wasn't very convenient to live alone on Earth.
She couldn't just resort to super strength to blow people away whenever she encountered something, could she?
Clark looked at Kara.
"If you're willing, I can send you to a human family so you can have a happy childhood."
"I hope you can grow up healthy like a normal child."
"Hey, actually, I can raise her too."
Harley Quinn on the side finally found a chance to chime in.
"I guarantee to take care of Kara like my own biological sister, and I have money; I can definitely afford to raise her."
Harley Quinn patted her chest with absolute confidence.
Kal-El suddenly burst out laughing.
"Are you sure you won't turn Kara into another Harley Quinn?"
Clark and Bruce also disagreed with handing Kara over to Harley Quinn.
She had a criminal record, after all, and when she was out of money, she liked to go to banks to do some no-cost business.
If she really adopted Kara and had Kara's super strength, wouldn't she become even more arrogant?
"At the very least, I made a huge contribution by bringing Kara out of the military base."
"Kara also likes me very much, and I believe I have the ability to be a good older sister."
Several of them directly ignored her opinion and all looked at Kara's reaction.
Kara shook her head.
"Can I come with you guys?"
She stared at Kal-El and Clark.
Right now on Earth, only these two people were her family, and she wasn't accustomed to joining a stranger's family.
Besides, she was already thirteen years old, not the kind of little child who understood nothing.
She felt that since she had her own family here, there was no need to look for a pair of Earth adoptive parents for her anymore.
Furthermore, although Harley Quinn had a colorful painted face and often cheated while playing video games, she was indeed very good to her.
She turned her head to look at Harley Quinn again.
"This sister is also very good, I like this sister."
"Little cutie, sister likes Kara too."
Harley Quinn immediately pinched Kara's little face with excitement.
Kal-El and Clark exchanged a glance and also dismissed the idea of finding a pair of adoptive parents for Kara.
Anyway, Kal-El had money and could afford to raise her.
Kara was also thirteen years old, and coupled with Dianaand these two older brothers of theirs, Kara shouldn't turn out crooked.
"Alright, then we will be Kara's guardians, and Kara will live with us at El Manor."
Diana agreed first.
"What about me?"
Harley Quinn was somewhat unwilling.
Clearly she was the one who met Kara first; she didn't expect that even so, she couldn't win custody of Kara.
She truly liked this cute and powerful child, Kara.
"If Kara comes with me, I guarantee I won't let her be bullied, and she will definitely have a happy childhood."
"Whatever she wants to do, she can do; I won't restrict her."
Hearing Harley Quinn's words, the few of them felt even more that not handing Kara over to her was the right decision.
With an educational method like hers, Kal-El even worried he might end up raising a female version of Homelander.
Moreover, Clark had been bullied at school when he was a child; if it weren't for Clark being relatively kind, those bratty kids would have been done for long ago.
If this matter happened to Kara, Harley Quinn would definitely instigate Kara to retaliate indiscriminately, and might even personally take her baseball bat to avenge Kara.
Based on Kal-El's understanding of Harley Quinn's nature, Harley Quinn wouldn't care about bullying the weak like this; if she didn't scare them until they pissed their pants, it would mean Harley Quinn had lived in vain.
If Kara really went with her, to say nothing of becoming Homelander, she would definitely become a wild child.
As for giving Kara a happy childhood, Kal-El didn't doubt that she could pull it off.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about Kara's custody, but we won't oppose you and Kara making friends."
No matter what, Harley Quinn wouldn't lose out, and letting her be friends with Kara could also prevent Karafrom becoming too weak and kind.
Harley Quinn was still somewhat dissatisfied.
"Besides, you becoming Kara's guardian, do you have the ability for that?"
Harley Quinn was somewhat unconvinced.
"I have money."
"How much money?"
Kal-El was indeed a bit curious.
He remembered that Harley Quinn used to get zero-yuan purchases whenever she went to supermarkets, and she would go hungry if she didn't get money through some illegal means.
"Don't tell me you went to the bank to get those open-ended, interest-free loans."
"I still have over a million US dollars, earned from doing missions myself."
Harley Quinn said indifferently, quietly flexing a bit.
Kal-El and the others were indeed somewhat surprised, but Diana frowned.
"I remember you seemed to have ten million US dollars before, now there's only this much left?"
"At the rate you spend money, it won't be long before you become a homeless person."
Harley Quinn was a bit embarrassed.
"Isn't this because when going out to play, the streets give face, so I was a bit generous."
"I didn't expect so much money to be gone so fast."
Kal-El gave Harley Quinn a thumbs up.
"Such a wealthy fool's behavior; if you can't afford to eat, you can come to my manor to apply as a performance artist, just in case Kara needs a childish clown playmate."
This remark not only made Harley Quinn somewhat annoyed, but also made Kara somewhat resentful.
"Impossible, as long as I don't spend money recklessly, so much money is enough for my expenses for a very long time."
Harley Quinn was still talking tough.
...
Days passed by one by one, and under Kal-El's arrangement, Kara entered a middle school to study.
Harley Quinn often took Kara out to play during Kara's rest times.
At first, Diana was still worried that Harley Quinn would lead Kara astray, but later she found that Kara had a strong sense of her own mind.
She wouldn't mindlessly agree with whatever Harley Quinn wanted to do.
On this day, Kara had just finished class and was reading a book at school when Harley Quinn suddenly appeared outside the fence.
"Kara, come over!"
Harley Quinn waved at Kara.
Kara was somewhat puzzled, stood up, and came to the edge of the fence.
"Hurry up, I'll take you to be a superhero."
Kara looked at Harley Quinn and closed the book in her hand.
"Now is class time. If it's not something particularly urgent, you can wait until school is over."
"Alright, you really are a good student."
Harley Quinn was somewhat disappointed, and just as she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed a few boys walking over from afar.
They looked aggressive and meant no good.
Harley Quinn quickly hid to the side to observe.
She saw the leading boy with a head of blond hair walk up to Kara and lift his chin.
"Hey, Kara Zor-El, be my girlfriend!"
Chapter 213 Don't Come Over Here
Kara frowned.
"My brother doesn't let me date early!"
After saying that, Kara had no intention of paying attention to this curly-haired guy.
However, the curly-haired guy suddenly blocked her path with a few followers.
"You can't leave unless you become my girlfriend!"
At this moment, Harley Quinn became even more excited.
She didn't expect that someone would actually dare to bully Kara at school.
This was way too novel.
However, Harley Quinn loved to watch the excitement and thought it wasn't big enough.
Just as Kara was about to teach these ignorant boys a lesson, Harley Quinn's voice sounded from behind.
"Promise him! Promise him!"
Kara turned her head and frowned.
"Can you please not be so childish?"
Harley Quinn, however, didn't care at all.
"I think you guys need an audience's witness right now."
The curly-haired guy was somewhat surprised by Harley Quinn's appearance.
However, at his age, he wasn't interested in women like Harley Quinn; he only liked obedient honor-student girls who were timid and easy to bully like Kara.
Furthermore, Harley Quinn's rather eyesore clown makeup made him even less interested.
At this moment, his self-confidence was bursting, and Karain front of him would definitely not escape his grasp.
He puffed out his chest and stood in front of Kara with a proud look on his face.
Girls like this had no way of dealing with students like him, and in the end, they could only obediently become his girlfriend.
But Kara's eyes flashed with cold light.
"Not interested."
She turned around and reached out to push one of the curly-haired guy's followers aside.
She had no interest whatsoever in playing games with these kids.
If it weren't for the fact that she still needed to go to school and live a school life now, she would have long wanted to harshly teach these annoying punks a lesson.
Before the curly-haired guy could react, Harley Quinnimmediately spoke up to remind him.
"Hey, curly, if you want to pick up girls, you have to be assertive. Girls don't like boys without courage."
"Don't be cowardly, just go for it!"
Harley Quinn even made an encouraging gesture to the curly-haired guy.
The curly-haired guy was somewhat angry.
He didn't expect that Kara, such a weak and obedient girl, would actually dare to disrespect him and reject him in front of his gang of followers.
Let alone having outside support.
Although he was stunned for a moment by Kara's gaze just now, he didn't take Kara seriously at all.
In this school, he had never met someone like Kara who didn't give him face.
He decided to teach Kara a lesson.
"Stop her!"
With an order from him, his subordinate lackeys immediately came in front of Kara to block her way.
The curly-haired guy swaggered arrogantly and came in front of Kara.
"Be my girlfriend, and no one in the school will dare to bully you."
"Otherwise, you should know the consequences of offending me at school; I can make it so you can't stay in this school."
He was qualified to say these words; after all, as the son of a wealthy tycoon, his background could be considered top-tier in this school.
Otherwise, he wouldn't always have a group of followers following him.
"Step aside!"
Kara slowly clenched her fists.
The curly-haired guy still didn't take Kara's anger seriously.
"You really don't know what's good for you!"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and struck towards Kara's face.
The expected slapping sound didn't appear; his palm stopped a few centimeters away from Kara's cheek.
Kara's hand firmly grabbed his wrist.
Kara slowly exerted force.
"Ah!"
Feeling the pain in his wrist, the curly-haired guy suddenly swung his other fist, smashing towards Kara.
Although Kara didn't like using violence to solve problems, she wouldn't tolerate it when someone else made the first move.
Bam!
Before the curly-haired guy's fist could fall, Kara suddenly raised her foot and kicked heavily onto his chest.
The curly-haired guy flew backwards without any resistance, crashing far away onto the ground.
This scene shocked the curly-haired guy's followers, leaving them standing there in a daze.
"Fuck!"
"What are you standing there for? Break her legs for me!"
With a sharp pain in his chest, the curly-haired guy trembling stood up and roared angrily at his followers.
Hearing the curly-haired guy's words, the followers knew they couldn't stay dazed anymore.
This was a long-term meal ticket; if they didn't make a move, they would definitely be given a hard time by the curly-haired guy later.
"Get her!"
Several people immediately pounced towards Kara.
Although they were surprised that Kara could kick the curly-haired guy so far just now, they weren't too afraid of Kara.
They knew they had underestimated Kara. Kara might have practiced some combat, and in a one-on-one situation, they couldn't guarantee they could beat her.
But now there were five of them, and their height and physique were stronger than Kara's.
They also frequently participated in fights and brawls.
Now that they were besieging Kara together, even if Karahad specially practiced combat, relying on their male physique and strength, they could easily teach Kara a lesson.
After all, Kara's appearance as an obedient girl didn't look threatening at all.
Five against one, the advantage is mine!
Bam bam bam bam bam!
Almost in an instant, several people quickly flew backwards and heavily crashed into the open space five or six meters away.
Their screams rose one after another.
This scene also completely stunned the curly-haired guy.
Kara walked expressionlessly in front of the curly-haired guy and looked at him quietly.
"What do you want?"
Although he was a bit scared, the curly-haired guy didn't cave in.
His legs were trembling, and he could barely hold himself up in the next second.
"Don't mess with me!"
Kara glanced at him one last time, noticed someone walking from a distance, and immediately turned and left.
"Fuck! Damn bitch!"
It wasn't until Kara walked far away that Gore angrily cursed out loud.
"I won't let her go! She can wait to be expelled!"
The followers on the side also helped each other up.
"Gore, my cousin is an outside-of-school gang member. If we can't beat her, we'll find them to ambush her."
"They have guns. As long as we let them threaten her, it will definitely make that bitch bow down."
Hank, the tall and thin guy, suddenly offered a plan, making Gore's eyes light up.
He seemed to have found hope for revenge.
"Good, leave this matter to you. I'll give you ten thousand dollars to have them handle this well."
Hearing about the money, Hank became even more enthusiastic, quickly patting his chest to guarantee the completion of the task.
The remaining followers on the side immediately cast envious, jealous, and hateful gazes.
Finding someone to teach a little girl a lesson wouldn't cost that much money at all.
This ten thousand dollars would definitely be mostly embezzled by Hank.
Just as several people were discussing the plan to deal with Kara, Harley Quinn had already climbed over the wall and walked over.
"Hey, what are you guys discussing?"
Gore suddenly frowned.
"Stinking woman, get lost!"
Several followers on the side were about to reach out to push Harley Quinn away when Harley Quinn spoke up again.
"You guys want to find someone to teach that girl a lesson?"
She asked the several people with a smile.
"What business is it of yours? Hurry up and scram, before I lose my temper."
Gore was even more angry.
What on earth was going on today? Kara just now was one thing, but how did another lunatic who painted herself like a clown pop up?
Harley Quinn took out her baseball bat from behind, the smile on her face becoming even more brilliant.
"That is my little sister, so it really does have something to do with me."
"And I love teaching unruly kids a lesson most."
She didn't stand on ceremony and decisively made her move. The baseball bat in her hand almost swung out afterimages.
Five strikes in one second!
Bam bam bam bam bam!
The baseball bat made intimate contact with several people's heads in an instant, and the followers lay on the ground one after another, falling into sleep.
Gore's eyes widened as he watched Harley Quinn slowly approach with the baseball bat.
"Damn it, don't come over here!"
Bam!
