DC's Path of Ruin: Book I

December 25th, 2014 - Part 2

Day 9 - December 25th, 2014 : Early Morning - Around 7 AM (6 AM Kansas)

"Jingle bell rooooooooock!" Kara and Martha sang together, the Kryptonians' ear able to pick up how off note they were. But it was the family fun, mom shaking her bum a little to the Christmas beat while they were working on more dough. Martha's Christmas dress, green with little candy canes, danced with her shakes and swerves.

Kara played along, the family spirit helping drown out the sadness of yesterday and the sadness sure to come tomorrow.

"When's dad coming back with the final tree decorations? He knew the whole time I wanted a star on top. So why did he get crazy and put a santa on top?"

"Dear he says you are too picky and you also picked last year. Remember the cute little angel tree topper?"

"Oh yeah, it was cute" Kara tilted her head in thought. "I still want the star" She put her hands on her hips heroically.

"Stop doing Clark's old pose and keep working" Martha slapped her daughter's hand playfully.

It was the first time Kara heard mom talk about Clark since he had to go off planet without contact...

"Ahaha, right" Kara sheepishly laughed but stared at the back door from the kitchen counter to the back door. Unless Connor was getting himself into trouble there was no reason for him to be that quiet. You don't play with dogs quietly, any Earth person knew that. "One second ma" She walked to the back porch to see Krypto sitting there alone and staring at the sky. "Okay..."

Kara stepped out, scanning herself, then using x-ray vision and zooming in for miles. She eyed Krypto suspiciously.

"Is this a Christmas prank?" She asked Krypto with a narrowing of her eyes.

Krypto whined and rubbed his face with the back of his white paw.

"That's not answering the question" Kara challenged. Krypto stared at her and she returned it. The two held a staring contest: woman and dog, for several seconds until suddenly her little brother came landing in front of her with - wow breasts.

Kara covered her eyes as huge breasts swallowed her vision. Wait, she knew that chest.

"Is that Poison Ivy!?" Kara asked still shielding herself from the nakedness. Connor walked and sat her in the backyard area. He stood next to her and looked up at Kara and sighed.

"Yeah...It is.." He answered, looking back towards the ground on the other side away from Ivy.

"What are you doing?" Kara asked her brother sternly, lowering her hands to be more serious. "She's on the top ten of Most Wanted by the JL right now for attempted genocide of Gotham! What are you doing on Christmas day?..." Kara grabbed Connor's wrist and stared at him in the eyes. "Is she seducing you again? She's icky and vile, remember that!"

He looked back at her. "No....She isn't....and I know she's wanted.....But, she needed help and I didn't know where else to bring her.."

"She needs help?" Kara asked her brother a little sarcastically but carefully let go of his wrist. Her expression was irritated and stared down at Poison Ivy who was huddled upright in a ball. She was hiding her face in her hair, Kara only paused for a second seeing Ivy acting weird but calculated it as nothing more than a new ploy to control her brother. How did she even contact him? He was supposed to be playing fetch. "Connor" She placed her hands on her brother's shoulders. "She's a criminal, she's killed people and is going to do it again. It's what she does. We are going to do the right thing and give her due process for her imprisonment and enjoy the rest of our Christmas. Today was supposed to be our day off, remember?"
