章節 23: Chapter 23 (edited)

Afterwards, Kara made up her mind that if she had the chance, she would definitely go to college.

Her adoptive parents at home were entirely supportive and had already prepared the tuition fees. Kara didn't need to work to earn money.

However, Kara said that working could also help her develop independence, so they decided not to discourage her from focusing on both work and studying.

Then Kara noticed that after hearing the news about her plans for college, Clark seemed more withdrawn.

Kara found this amusing and came to Clark's room after dinner that evening.

The little guy was sitting on his bed with his head lowered, lost in thought.

"What's wrong, Clark?" Kara asked as she walked over, sitting down beside him. She put her arm around his shoulders and teased, "Feeling lonely because your sister is leaving home?"

Knowing the answer but asking anyway—truly the hallmark of a mischievous older sister.

This is typical behavior for older siblings. Even with a ten-year age gap between them, Kara couldn't resist teasing Clark. He was so cute now, and she figured she wouldn't be able to get away with teasing him like this when he was older.

Clark nodded honestly.

He didn't have many friends at school, and his sister was the only one he could truly confide in.

It wasn't that there was a rift between him and his adoptive parents. In fact, Clark still didn't know that Jonathan and Martha Kent were his adoptive parents; he believed they were his biological parents.

But his parents were just ordinary people, and the superhuman abilities he possessed could only be discussed with Kara.

The thought of Kara leaving home to study and live in another city was something Clark found difficult to accept.

Kara smiled and patted his shoulder. "Come on, let's head to the secret base."

The "secret base" was a small uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean, discovered by the siblings a few years ago. The island wasn't too big or too small but provided the perfect space for their adventures and explorations.

On the island, they could freely use their powers without fear of discovery.

And they often dove into the ocean to gather seafood, which they cooked and ate on the island.

That evening, Kara left the house with Clark, and they quickly flew towards the Pacific Ocean. On the way, they passed over Metropolis.

Kara pointed toward the city and explained, "This is where I'll be staying. It's actually pretty close, so I can visit home every week—at least once a month."

"Can't you come home every night?" Clark asked hopefully.

Kara couldn't help but chuckle. It wasn't just inconvenient—she also thought a little distance would be good for them. After all, they had spent years living together, and a small break wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

It was clear Clark was very attached to her.

The siblings soared through the skies, flying faster than sound and reaching heights above the clouds. At their speed, current technology wouldn't be able to detect them.

They soon arrived at a small tropical island.

Kara picked two coconuts from a nearby tree. Holding one in her left hand, she made a chopping motion with her right.

Swish!

A blur of motion passed through the air, but the coconut didn't budge.

Kara flipped her right hand slightly, revealing that she had peeled the coconut shell so swiftly and cleanly that it remained perfectly intact.

This level of precision would be impossible even with the sharpest blade.

Handing one coconut to Clark, she took a sip from her own. "So sweet."

Kara's eyes sparkled with a smile. This island was the perfect hideaway, with its abundance of tropical fruits and refreshing coconut water.

Clark took a sip and then turned to look at Kara. He knew she must have brought him here for a reason.

Kara looked back at him with a gentle smile and said, "Clark, I'm leaving because I hope it will help you grow and become stronger.

As much as I'd like to stay by your side forever, it's just not possible or realistic."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "You're going to grow into a reliable, independent man. I have no doubt about that."

After all, he was destined to become Superman. If anyone could handle responsibility, it was Clark.

She thought briefly about other heroes—Batman, for instance. While Batman was certainly dependable, there were some enemies, like Steppenwolf, that even he couldn't face alone.

Then there was Wonder Woman, whose strength was legendary. But against foes like Doomsday, even she couldn't prevail alone.

Kara's mind lingered on the threats they might face in the future, including General Zod and others trapped in the Phantom Zone. If Zod ever escaped, Clark would undoubtedly be his first target—and Kara, his second.

This was because Jor-El, Kara's uncle and Clark's biological father, had taken Krypton's life code. That code was Zod's only hope of reviving the Kryptonian race.

If Zod were to succeed in building Kryptonian birthing chambers on Earth and activating the life code, the entire Kryptonian race could be reborn—but at the cost of humanity's existence.

Earth was for Earthlings, not Kryptonians. Kara was determined not to let Zod destroy their home planet.

Looking Clark in the eye, Kara said seriously, "Clark, we have great power, which means we will one day face great responsibility.

The greater the power, the greater the responsibility."

"So grow up quickly, Clark."

She paused, then added, "And I also want to go out into the world, see more, and learn more. There's so much I need to experience."

In truth, Kara had been secretly training herself for years. The earlier demonstration with the coconut was just one example of her precision and skill.

But her training had been largely self-taught, based on what she'd seen in movies or on TV. She knew it was time to learn systematically.

She hoped her time at university would provide opportunities to study martial arts or join a combat training club.

Kara wasn't just preparing for college—she was planning for the future.

章節 24: Chapter 24 (edited)

As Kara grew older and soaked in the golden rays of the sun over the years, so did her strength.

But Kara never underestimated Clark's potential. Although he might not yet be able to reach her level, Kara knew that Clark would never remain weak in the future.

Kara understood that many challenges lay ahead. While things seemed calm now, this tranquility was temporary because Superman had not yet made his public debut.

Once Superman appeared before the world, events would inevitably begin to unfold one after another. Powerful enemies existed, but they had yet to reveal themselves. Kara knew this calm would only last for so long.

Thus, she avoided taking any significant action for now. After all, their town had always been peaceful. Even without Superman or a "Superwoman" secretly protecting it, things were fine.

Kara worried that once she made her presence known, her influence might provoke powerful enemies into appearing sooner than expected. For now, her focus remained on quietly accumulating enough strength while Clark matured.

Among her preparations, combat training was a priority.

Kara understood the importance of being prepared for every possible scenario, especially since some of the enemies they would face might also hail from Krypton—such as General Zod and his soldiers.

Although Kara and Clark could handle most threats with ease, fighting other Kryptonians was a different matter. Such foes would possess strength and resilience comparable to their own, perhaps even greater.

Unlike Kara, who had spent her early years on Krypton and had some familiarity with its challenges, Clark had grown up entirely on Earth. Neither of them had experienced Krypton's conditions—constant exposure to Kryptonite and the red sun—which might give their Kryptonian adversaries an edge.

This made Kara determined to become as reliable as possible, knowing that she might have to bear the brunt of these battles.

"Clark, I'm not abandoning you completely. It's just a brief separation. When you're older, you can come to the city where I'll be living," Kara said, extending an invitation to her brother.

Clark nodded resolutely, determined to follow in his sister's footsteps someday.

"Alright," Kara said with a stretch of her arms, breaking the heavy atmosphere. She smiled mischievously and asked, "Want to go to the ocean? I'm craving some king crab."

King crabs typically live hundreds or even thousands of meters below the ocean's surface. But for the siblings, this wasn't a problem. They could withstand the immense pressure of the ocean depths and hold their breath for hours.

In fact, Kara had recently discovered she could go without breathing for an entire day. Once, she even ventured to the edge of Earth's atmosphere, curious about outer space.

That particular adventure had ended when she spotted an approaching satellite and quickly returned to avoid being seen. In hindsight, Kara realized how reckless she had been. The vacuum of space was filled with deadly elements the human body couldn't endure. But since she didn't need to breathe, she was tempted to challenge the limits of her abilities again someday.

After all, her power came from the golden rays of the sun. The closer she got to it, the stronger she felt. Maybe one day, Kara might even try basking on the sun's surface.

But that was a matter for another time.

For now, the siblings spent over an hour at the ocean before heading home.

Their adventure had been simple: with their super vision, they easily navigated the ocean depths, locating the seafood they wanted. Kara, ever the foodie, had her fill of king crab and lobster. She left a pile of discarded shells on the beach before they finally returned.

Jonathan and Martha, who had stayed up waiting for them, immediately noticed the salty scent of the sea lingering on their clothes and guessed where they had been. Seeing Clark in good spirits, they let the matter slide, but Jonathan reminded them to be cautious.

"Be careful not to expose your abilities," Jonathan warned. He had always worried about how people might react if they learned the truth about the siblings' powers.

Kara didn't argue. She understood that Jonathan and Martha treated her and Clark as their own children and only wanted the best for them.

"Alright," Kara said with a smile. "I have some reading to do tomorrow, so I'm heading to bed."

Before heading upstairs, Martha stopped her. "Leave your clothes. I'll wash them later."

Kara grinned cheekily. "Here?" she teased, pretending to unbutton her shirt.

"Upstairs!" Jonathan barked, his tone half-annoyed, half-amused.

Martha shook her head with a small laugh. "This girl…"

Kara darted upstairs, quickly changed into pajamas, and tossed her clothes and shoes down the staircase.

Clark, ever the responsible one, followed suit but carried his clothes downstairs to the washing machine, intending to wash his shoes himself.

"Go to bed, Clark. I'll take care of this," Martha insisted gently.

Reluctantly, Clark obeyed and headed upstairs, his kind and thoughtful nature shining through.

Clark's character had always been gentle and considerate, influenced by Jonathan's careful guidance. Kara admired how their father's upbringing had shaped Clark into the man who would one day become Superman. She, too, had benefited from Jonathan's wisdom over the years.

And as Kara climbed into bed that night, her mind remained focused on the future. The days of peace wouldn't last forever. But for now, she was content to enjoy these moments with her family while they could.
