Dc: Start Female Superman

Chapter 13

That night, Kara took a high-speed flight home alone. When she arrived, her family was already asleep.

Kara quietly opened the window and slipped back into her room. The first floor of this small house consisted of the living room, kitchen, and other facilities. The upper floor was the living area. Her adoptive parents' room was the largest, followed by Kara's, and finally Clark's cabin.

After putting on her pajamas, Kara silently went downstairs to open the fridge. They had several cows at home, which used to be Clark's main source of food, but now it had become a regular drink in the house.

She poured herself a glass of milk and took a sip when her ears twitched, hearing the faint sound of footsteps coming down the stairs.

Kara turned around, and in the next second, she saw the figure of her adoptive mother, Martha, appearing at the staircase.

With two sensitive children in the family, both Martha and Jonathan had developed the habit of moving quietly around the house at night to avoid waking them.

Martha hadn't slept until now because Kara hadn't come home, and she felt relieved when she saw her standing there.

"Why so late?" Martha asked in a soft voice.

Kara pointed upstairs. "Clark's already asleep, it's fine."

Martha was afraid of waking Clark, as the boy still couldn't control his powers as perfectly as Kara, and sometimes he still picked up many sounds with his ears.

Lately, Clark had been quite troubled by it.

Luckily, Clark was slowly regaining control, so he no longer acted as strangely at school.

"I went to see a movie with Jennifer and Dani earlier. I didn't realize how late it was. I'm sorry," Kara briefly explained, smoothly lying.

At home, Martha was very lenient with the children and usually didn't scold them.

Jonathan's words were also very affectionate toward the two kids, but he often maintained the image of a strict father. Being a first-time parent, he sometimes seemed overly strict.

However, most of the time, he was still approachable.

Especially with Kara—Jonathan felt very reassured by her, not knowing about her other side, the one with the titles of "strong girl" and "bully."

If Jonathan ever heard that someone from the underworld was trying to challenge Kara, his mind would probably explode.

After chatting with her adoptive mother for a while, Kara refilled her glass and then returned upstairs to her room with the milk.

It was as if nothing had happened that day, as if she hadn't killed someone for the first time earlier; everything felt so peaceful.

But by the next day, the situation had finally come to light.

When she woke up early in the morning, there was a police car alongside the school bus.

Kara was taken away, supposedly in connection with a murder.

Jonathan and Martha were extremely worried, and Clark wanted to go with them, but Kara stopped him, so he wouldn't have to worry and could just go to school as usual.

Kara was taken to the police station, where she found that the two drunks from the previous night had also been brought in, along with Jennifer and Dani.

The body of the drunk man who had died in the alley was discovered by the garbage collector in the morning, causing a sensation in the quiet town.

In such a small town, the biggest incidents in the past were usually fights, but today, there was a life-taking case.
