Chapter 263 Superwoman (5)
Bruce finally got tired of fighting.
He stood up. Vartox had been beaten so badly that his original appearance could not be recognized. He rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.
Bruce kicked him aside like trash.
Supergirl limped over, covering the wound on her arm.
"Thank you for saving me." Kayla looked at the Hell Bat, "What should I call you?"
"The Dark Knight." Bruce said lightly.
In this world, the title of Batman has already been taken, and Bruce doesn't want to steal it.
At this time, he saw the wound on Supergirl's arm.
"Are you bleeding?" he asked.
"I was accidentally hit by the mechanical axe just now." Keira said with a wry smile, "This is the first time I have felt this kind of pain."
"It's useless." Bruce said lightly.
"What?" Kayla was stunned for a moment. She thought she had heard it wrong.
"I said you're useless."
Suddenly, Hellbat moved, and just like Aatrox just now, he punched Supergirl in the abdomen.
This time, Kayla finally remembered and jumped back, putting some distance between herself and Bruce.
“That’s some progress.”
Bruce's punch missed, but he wasn't angry, "I never fell for the same trick twice."
"What are you doing!" Kayla couldn't believe it, her big eyes full of confusion.
The person who just saved him now attacked him without hesitation.
"Why are you so surprised?" Bruce asked with a smile, "Do you think I'm a good person?"
No?
Kayla really didn't expect the other party to say such a thing.
Bruce didn't have time to chat with Supergirl, he reached out and a red lightning appeared in his hand, and then he threw it hard at Supergirl.
Keira instinctively dodged to the side and narrowly missed the red lightning.
Then she heard a loud bang, and the ground where she had just been standing was blown to a crisp.
"You can only hide, right?"
Bruce said coldly, "Where's your heat vision? Why don't you use it to penetrate the lightning?"
This reminded Kayla.
Yeah, why didn't she use thermal vision just now?
If he uses heat vision to fight back, after breaking through the lightning, he can also attack the Dark Knight. Then the person he has to dodge will be him.
"How clumsy."
Bruce taunted, "It's a waste to use the Kryptonian's abilities on you. It was the same when you were fighting that criminal just now. If you had blinded his eyes with your heat vision first, it would have been hard for you to lose later!"
"Who are you?"
Keira is now really confused. Where did this Dark Knight come from?
An inmate from Roseburg Prison? Not really.
"You should have knocked me down first before asking me questions."
In Bruce's current opinion, Supergirl was full of flaws. Facing a person of unknown origin who had clearly shown hostility, she actually wanted to talk to the other person first.
zizi——
Bruce's legs flashed red lightning, and his speed force was activated, and his speed instantly soared to exceed the speed of sound.
In the blink of an eye, Bruce disappeared from Supergirl's sight.
Keira's eyes widened, the Dark Knight's speed was beyond her imagination.
She turned her head left and right, trying to find the other person, but she could not see anything.
"You can't even keep up with the speed of sound?"
A voice of extreme disappointment came from behind her. Kayla tensed up all over instantly and wanted to turn around and kick him, but Bruce was faster. He kicked Supergirl on the butt without hesitation.
"Ouch!"
Kayla fell forward and onto the ground, tiny red lightning bolts spreading over her body, immobilizing her.
"Ugh."
The Dark Knight sighed heavily, and the sound was particularly harsh to Supergirl's ears.
"If I had known you were this capable, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find you."
Bruce sneered and said, "You can't stop me from destroying this world!"
"You want to destroy the world?!" Supergirl was horrified.
"Of course!"
Bruce pointed his thumb at himself and said, "My evil plan will soon be launched, and then the whole world will fall into my hands!"
It was the first time Bruce played a villain, and he was a little unskilled. His lines were not even well-written. One moment he said he wanted to destroy the world, and the next moment he said the world would fall into his hands.
But this level of performance is enough for Supergirl.
"I won't let you succeed!" she shouted angrily.
Keira wanted to stand up again and defend the peace of the world, but her muscles were sore due to the lightning and she had no strength to move.
"You can't stop me just by talking tough."
Bruce estimated that it was about time and Supergirl's teammates should be here.
He then raised his hand and condensed a bolt of lightning once again, as if to launch a final attack.
At this moment, a grenade flew from a distance and hit Bruce squarely.
Through the hole in the factory building, you can see a helicopter hovering in the air, with its propeller making a loud roar.
Bruce stood in the fire, unharmed.
"It seems you have saved your life." He left a word and then disappeared without a trace.
"Kayla! Are you okay?"
A short-haired woman in black leather clothes ran over from a distance. She was Kayla's nominal sister, Alex Danvers.
He is also an agent of the Paranormal Operations Department.
The Department of Paranormal Operations, or DEO for short, is an organization responsible for protecting Earth from alien invasion.
Alex helped Kayla up from the ground. Supergirl's face turned pale, but she still managed to say, "I'm fine. Go chase that guy!"
"Who is he?" Alex asked. "I don't know, but we must not let him go!"
Supergirl's face was filled with anxiety, "He's going to destroy the Earth!"
……
the next day.
Bruce was sitting in his office when he heard a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
The door opened and Kayla walked in.
She returned to her assistant-like appearance, wearing red-rimmed glasses and an outdated hairstyle. She looked to be in her twenties, but had the temperament of a forty-year-old.
Yesterday's injuries had already been healed thanks to the Kryptonians' powerful self-healing ability, and there was no sign at all that he had been beaten twice yesterday.
"Mr. Wayne, you're looking for me." Kayla said listlessly.
She didn't sleep well last night. When she thought about someone trying to destroy the earth and she was completely unable to defeat the other party, Keira couldn't sleep peacefully at all.
"How's your thinking going?" Bruce said. "After reading the latest reports, are you still going to defend Supergirl?"
This……
Kayla was speechless.
The battle that took place yesterday had already been transmitted through the power plant's surveillance.
Not only was Supergirl beaten up along the way, but the aftermath of the battle also destroyed most of the power plant.
She protected nothing.
Kayla no longer had the confidence to speak for Supergirl, but she still wanted to fight one last time.
"Mr. Wayne, don't you think we are a bit cruel?"
Kayla said, "Supergirl has just gone through such a big setback. Not only are we not understanding her, but we are also rubbing salt into her wounds. Isn't that a bit too much?"
"Where is it too much?"
Bruce said, "She can't beat others, what does it have to do with us? It's not like I kicked her ass."
"Ah? How did you know..."
Keira blinked. The report didn't mention that she was kicked by the Dark Knight. How could Bruce know about such a thing? It was as if he was there at the scene.
"Of course I know."
Bruce sneered, "Come to think of it, Supergirl should thank me. If I hadn't bought the surveillance camera, her embarrassing appearance would have been seen by the whole world!"
Is that right?
Kayla's resentment towards Bruce immediately dissipated a little. What he said was right. Now others only knew that Supergirl was defeated, but they didn't know exactly how she was defeated.
"Mr. Wayne, I didn't expect you still have some humanity!" Kayla said from the bottom of her heart.
Bruce frowned immediately and asked, "Are you sure you are praising me?"
"Of course I'm praising you!" Keira said, "But do you really want me to write the report? I'm just an assistant, not a reporter. I think it should be..."
"I don't want what you think, I want what I think."
Bruce waved his hand and said, "I looked at your resume. The first position you interviewed for was as a reporter, but Ms. Grant thought you were more suitable to be an assistant.
"Okay, I don't want to talk any more nonsense, just go and write it, and give it to me tomorrow!"
He shooed Kayla out of the office like a fly.
A moment later, Katoom appeared in the office.
"You are such a bad boy."
Owl said, "I hope she won't drop her little pearls while writing the report."
"Then I don't care." Bruce shook his head and said, "Without going through this step, she will always be the shame of Krypton."
If Supergirl wants to become a true superhero, she must constantly break through herself.
In this process, criticism and self-criticism are indispensable links.
"Come on Kayla, we really don't have much time."
Bruce tapped his fingers on the table and said silently in his heart.
……
Supergirl: Destroyer of Cities, Source of Disappointment to the People
“Recently, a shocking battle took place in this city.
“Supergirl confronted the mysterious enemy at the power plant and was not only suppressed throughout the process, but also indirectly caused serious damage to the power plant.
“Her humiliating defeat has become the biggest topic in National City in the past two days.
“Currently, the relevant departments are assessing the losses of the power plant and are also investigating the reasons for Supergirl’s failure.
“Some people may say that her heart is good, but she lacks the ability.
“But we have to say that lack of ability is her biggest problem.
“She enjoyed the admiration of the people, but failed to fulfill her duty to protect the city. This failure is not only a defeat in battle, but also a serious betrayal of the people’s trust!
"She must be held accountable for her actions and give the public a reasonable explanation!"
……
“This is what Kayla wrote.”
Bruce handed the press release to Katum and read, "It's pretty harsh."
Katoom quickly scanned the lines and asked, "Are you going to send it?"
"Of course not. It's so badly written."
Bruce said, "I've asked someone to rewrite it. If nothing goes wrong, the criticism will be more severe."
"What a shame." Katoum shook Kayla's press release. "Look, there are tear stains on it, which means she really wrote it while crying."
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Bruce came to the door of the office, pulled down the blinds, and looked at Kayla who was busy outside.
"She can only get less scolded if she keeps getting stronger. This is how everyone goes through it."
"Ok?"
Katum asked in confusion, "When have you ever been scolded?"
Bruce sneered and lowered the window shutter, not bothering to say anything.
He had been suffering from Katum's broken mouth for four years.
