American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

42. Kara Zor-El

It was said to be a surgical patient gown, but in reality, the woman was only wearing a bedsheet with a hole cut in the middle for her head to go through, and the sides were loosely tied with ropes. This setup was clearly for easier blood sampling and experimentation.

The woman had short black hair and looked to be around twenty years old, which should have been the most beautiful age. However, her emaciated state indicated that she was nearing her limit.

Alex looked at her fingers, which showed the distinct outline of bones, and sighed softly. He stepped forward, lifted her around the waist, but felt her hardness, like holding a skeleton frame.

"Alex, are you sure this is the 'Superman' we're looking for?" Pietro was surprised, staring at the female Superman for a while. Her current condition reminded him of unpleasant memories.

"It's her, Kara Zor-El, the last legacy of Krypton," Alex said calmly.

Seemingly hearing her name, Kara groggily opened her eyes. Upon seeing Alex's slightly terrifying bird-like mask, she struggled for a moment before fainting again.

"Let's not talk about this here. It's not safe. Let's go back and discuss it further," Alex said, carrying Kara. He turned and walked out of the cell. Batman, who was guarding outside, was slightly surprised to see Alex carrying a frail woman.

"I thought Barry said Superman was a man."

"Indeed, in Barry Allen's memory, Superman is indeed a man. But well, in this chaotic multiverse, anything is possible."

The three returned the way they came, encountering numerous corpses along the way and hearing the continues sounds of gunfire outside. It seemed like the soldiers here either couldn't stop or had only one person left alive.

However, having experienced another universe full of despair, Alex and Pietro were no longer affected by this. Perhaps these people shouldn't die, or perhaps they should. But who cared anymore?

Batman didn't say much either. He had taken many lives himself, as evidenced by the countless villain equipment displayed in his secret room. This Batman of this universe was also a decisive and ruthless character.

They returned in the Batplane, the mission was considered a perfect success despite the loud commotion. There were no casualties, and even the old Batman didn't have to intervene.

When they arrived back at Wayne Manor, the sun was already rising from the east, heralding a rare clear day in Gotham City.

Entering the Batcave, Alex and his group disembarked from the Batplane. Barry Allen Jr. and the other Barry Allen had been eagerly waiting for some time. As soon as they saw everyone return, Barry Allen Jr. rushed forward.

"I've found a way to restore my speed. If we can simulate a natural lightning strike and then have the experimental serum around me, recreating the scene where I gained my powers, maybe I can regain my superpowers."

As Barry spoke, he noticed Kara Zor-El in Alex's arms, and he froze in place.

"You... you succeeded? Weren't we supposed to save Superman? Who is this girl?"

"She is the 'Superman' of this world, Barry. Do you now understand the mess you've caused?" Alex replied, scanning the area before continuing.

"Since you're confident in regaining your speed, let's act quickly. I believe everything you need is in the Batcave. For Bruce Wayne, creating artificial rain won't be difficult. Pietro, help out. I'll take this Kryptonian girl to bathe in sunlight."

With that said, Alex walked towards the exit of the Batcave. Surprisingly, everyone present had no objections to Alex's command. Apart from the obedient Pietro, even the old Batman didn't refuse. Or rather, Batman at this moment had recognized the threat of this disaster.

At the same time, he also believed that these few people were indeed prepared to save the world.

After Alex left, everyone immediately took action. Bruce Wayne worked on materials for artificial rain and also planned to create a lightning-attracting bat kite. Pietro and Barry Allen Jr. rushed out to various labs to collect the chemicals they needed.

Everything proceeded in an orderly manner. On the other side, Alex and Kara arrived at the rooftop of Wayne Manor. Here, Kara could absorb the radiation from the yellow sun better. To assist her, Alex took off his trench coat and laid it down for Kara to lie on.

The black coat absorbed sunlight efficiently, speeding up Kara's recovery.

In fact, it worked. With the sun's rays shining, Kara's body, which had clear rib outlines moments ago, reacted as if it were an inflating balloon. Her body slowly returned to its normal appearance, and her energy levels surged.

Alex took off his mask and stepped back, leaving a safe distance. He wasn't worried about anything else but the possibility of Kara, enhanced by the sunlight, instinctively resisting when she woke up. His small frame couldn't withstand a punch from a sun-enhanced Kryptonian.

Kara's eyelids twitched slightly, then she suddenly floated up, and slowly stood up without any assistance.

"It's frightening how quickly a biosphere can be generated in such a short time. Kryptonians' physiology is indeed formidable," Alex couldn't help but be amazed, even a newly freed Kara was so powerful, showing how formidable General Zod and his underlings were.

Sensing Alex's presence, Kara turned her head and looked in his direction. "I remember you. You're the one who rescued me from that place."

Kara's voice was calm, but Alex could sense a hint of joy and a brewing anger, understandable for anyone who had been tested on for over a decade, brewing endless resentment.

"It's good that you remember. I was worried you'd punch me," Alex said with a slight smile, letting go of the umbrella he had been tightly holding onto.

Kara gazed quietly at Alex, seeming to recall something. Then, she spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, you called my name before. Who are you exactly?"

"Let's get acquainted. I'm Alex, from another universe," Alex introduced himself, stepping forward and extending his hand.

"This world is on the brink of destruction by General Zod. To save it, we need your power."
