The manor's wooden house.
First-floor living room.
Vincent and Karl sat on the sofa. Vincent watched TV, while Karl read a newspaper.
From the adjacent kitchen, a savory aroma of meat continuously wafted out.
The female reporter they had seen in the square last time, who was also Superman Kal's girlfriend, Lois Lane, was the head chef.
As soon as Supergirl Kara arrived, she immediately went to her second-floor room to change her clothes. She put on a loose-fitting long-sleeved top and casual cotton pants, suitable for home, tied her dark golden hair into a single ponytail, and walked downstairs with a pattering sound of pink slippers.
The beautiful girl no longer paid attention to Vincent, but skillfully entered the kitchen to help.
Thus, the two men left alone on the sofa found the atmosphere a bit awkward for a moment.
Vincent again had that feeling of visiting his girlfriend's home for the first time. The last time he had felt this way was when he visited Kara's adoptive parents' home.
One could say things progressed faster than expected. After two meetings, he had met all of Kara's relatives. Well, except for that one incredible sister, whose fate was unknown and who was possibly wandering in outer space.
"That young man last time… was that you?" Karl suddenly spoke, looking sideways at Vincent, but he did not use his X-ray vision to scan him.
Young man?
Oh, oh, during the Super-God mode when I fought Superman.
Vincent hesitated for a moment, then nodded, admitting it.
If Superman Kal really wanted to know, he could just ask Kara, so there was no point in denying it.
Also, Vincent didn't think Superman Kal would harm him, unless he did something to Kara… What made Vincent feel stunned was seeing Karl calmly put down the newspaper, a smile appearing on his firm, square face: "That was truly impressive. Compared to General Zod and Doomsday, it put even more pressure on me."
At this point, Karl raised an eyebrow: "By the way, you don't know who General Zod is, do you? He was the leader of the Kryptonian warship that previously descended upon Earth."
"That was just a coincidence, a coincidence…" Vincent scratched his head. Could he say it was truly a coincidence?
The conditions for activating Super-God mode required the cooperation of at least three people, including Superman's cousin—
Of course.
Vincent naturally couldn't reveal the secrets of his own abilities; otherwise, the seemingly amiable Superman would probably get agitated with him.
"A coincidence cannot defeat me."
Superman Kal gazed deeply at Vincent, pondering and asking, "I want to know one thing: can you still gain that power a second time?"
Vincent glanced at the ponytail girl in the kitchen and mused, "It should be no problem."
"That's good, that's good!" A light appeared in Superman Kal's eyes. In that instant, he thought of many, many things, and couldn't help but murmur to himself repeatedly.
"Mr. Karl?" Vincent always felt that Superman Kal's state wasn't quite right, or rather, that he was planning something.
Given Superman's great power, the ceiling of Superhero' combat strength, if even he needed to plan and strategize, it indicated that it must be an unimaginable matter.
Perhaps, an event that required the Super-God mode level of combat strength as a fallback.
"You can just call me Karl. We might be family in the future." Karl smiled casually and said bluntly with a slight nod of his head: "Kara is very good. She is also the only remaining relative from my home planet, Krypton. I know she has always liked you. As early as half a year ago, she…"
Vincent's eyes widened.
Superman Kal had not finished speaking.
With a panicked exclamation, Kara ran out of the kitchen, her face a rare shade of crimson. She hastily interrupted Karl, crying out, "You two, lunch is ready!"
"Okay."
Karl quickly responded, stood up, and patted Vincent's shoulder, as if to encourage him.
Vincent was speechless for a moment. Are all younger brothers matchmakers for their sisters?
Lunchtime.
Karl's adoptive mother, Martha, also returned home to eat. Faced with the enthusiastic Mrs. Martha and Miss Lois, Vincent could only feel a slight tingling sensation on his scalp as he sat upright, answering their various questions one by one, which made Kara, sitting beside him, secretly giggle.
Knowing that Vincent was also an abandoned child when he was young, Mrs. Martha, as Superman's adoptive mother, felt even more sympathetic, constantly telling him to come and visit whenever he had time.
Vincent didn't know how to explain that being picked up and raised by Aunt Diana was the luckiest thing that had ever happened to him, without a doubt.
However, Martha and Lois still made him feel very close.
After lunch.
Vincent quickly integrated into the family's atmosphere.
Vincent specifically looked at the ring on Miss Lois's hand, and the matching ring on Karl's left middle finger, then winked and teased, "It seems I'll be attending a wedding very soon."
Karl and Lois exchanged smiles.
Karl shrugged, saying, "If not this year, then next year. By then, I hope the best man and maid of honor on the stage will be you two."
Although he didn't specify which two, everyone at the table understood.
Vincent gained a deeper understanding of Superman. Good heavens, he could even bring it back to him?
Truly worthy of being a god among men!
"Cousin, hurry up and eat your food." Kara glared at Karl in exasperation.
"Yes, Cousin."
Superman Kal smiled slightly. He was already in his early thirties, while Kara looked like she had just come of age. Their referring to each other as older sister and younger brother at this moment was extremely odd.
Vincent suddenly remembered that Kara's true age was approximately in her thirties, making her a perfectly legal Kryptonian girl.
After enjoying lunch.
Martha specifically asked Kara to take Vincent to play in the nearby fields, which Kara happily accepted… That afternoon.
Passing through large cornfields and dense bushes, the view suddenly opened up—
It was an endless field, with lush green grass stretching from their feet all the way to the mountains at the end of their sight, the soft grass like a carpet.
Between the field and the mountains was a lake. As the sun set, both the sunlight and its reflection shimmered on the lake's surface.
A pair of young man and woman sat leaning on a grassy slope.
Vincent wore the casual clothes he had left in that morning, and Kara had also changed back into her Supergirl battle suit. After all, the so-called Superman suit was originally very common and normal clothing on Krypton, simply categorized into home, diplomatic, combat, etc., according to style.
However, choosing to wear this outfit casually in front of Vincent also signified that Kara affirmed her identity as both a Kryptonian and her current human self.
"Look." Supergirl Kara suddenly blew a breath forward, and an incredibly chilling gust of wind immediately swept forward. It merely brushed the lake's surface and instantly froze it into a shimmering ice sheet. The cold air and the warm breeze from the valley created a counter-current, and soon a misty white wind swirled upwards.
A hint of awe flashed in Vincent's eyes.
The red cape and skirt fluttered, and the heroic yet playful Kara slightly puffed out her chest, shaped like an inverted bowl. Her flowing hair, somewhere between platinum and dark gold, and a rainbow like a halo, hung behind her in all directions. The strength and confidence of a Kryptonian, and the kindness and gentleness of a human, were fully displayed.
At that moment, it was arguably Supergirl's most beautiful time.
