Chapter 2428

~10 min read 1,855 words

Batwoman's life in Metropolis is not going smoothly.

Although Wonder Woman indicated to her that she would contact her as soon as she landed, Batwoman felt that she should at least settle her housing problem first. So she sent a text message to the landlord she had seen online before and rushed to the destination of the house mentioned by the landlord at the fastest speed.

The process of renting the house was quite smooth. Batwoman quickly paid the deposit, completed the procedures, and brought her luggage to the room to settle down. The main part where problems arose was in the aspect of purchasing daily necessities.

There are too many and too miscellaneous things for modern people to maintain survival. Batwoman didn't make a detailed plan before going to the supermarket to purchase, which led to her discovering after pushing the shopping cart out that she had forgotten to buy some things, including but not limited to air conditioner cleaner, tape, pillowcases, etc., almost things that had to be used immediately tonight.

Batwoman wanted to go back to buy them, but that meant she had to push this large shopping cart of things through more than half of the supermarket again, so she chose to store the goods in the cart.

The middle-aged man at the storage counter kept staring at Batwoman with a very malicious gaze.

In the first half of Batwoman's life, she rarely encountered such gazes, and even if she did, they weren't so blatant.

Admittedly, the gender-swapped version of Bruce Wei En is a beauty, and her level of beauty is almost identical to Bruce Wei En's level of handsomeness, but the attitude received from society in this regard is completely different, with many very malicious and lewd gazes.

Batwoman disliked this kind of gaze, but she was too lazy to argue with such a person, so she planned to give up on storing them and push the shopping cart back for another trip.

As a result, the clerk at the cargo storage counter began to mutter some extremely unfriendly and aggressive vocabulary in a voice that Batwoman could hear completely. Batwoman stood on the spot and sighed, relaxed her shoulders, exerted force in her arms, and pushed the shopping cart directly back.

The strong and powerful arms swung the shopping cart to make a turn, directly crashing into the clerk from the gap in the counter. With an "ow," the other party was hit in the vital spot, and his posture of bowing and twitching looked like a freshly boiled shrimp.

Hearing the screams, security guards immediately came upon hearing the news. Batwoman scanned left and right, pushed the shopping cart to bypass the nearest security guard, and rushed straight into the supermarket.

Seeing this, the security guard immediately took out a walkie-talkie, wanting to let his companion pursue this unidentified attacker. Batwoman immediately pulled up the hood of her clothes, tightened the strings of her hoodie, lowered her head, pushed the cart, and buried her head to rush forward.

When passing by the restroom, Batwoman's footsteps paused, followed by an emergency brake, then a side parking and reverse parking, and she pulled the shopping cart into the restroom.

The security guard outside went back and forth but didn't find her figure. It wasn't until things calmed down that Batwoman walked out again.

She turned the corner out of the women's restroom and just wanted to walk out when, with a "bang," the shopping cart crashed straight into a figure.

That was a quite tall man, wearing a white shirt, glasses, and carrying a bag on his back, and he was very handsome, standing there like a pictorial.

So from a common sense perspective, a handsome man and a beautiful woman accidentally crashing into each other due to an accident looks very much like the beginning of a beautiful love story, but the biggest problem is that this male is not only tall but also very hard—physically, and broadly speaking, a bit too hard.

Batwoman looked at the shopping cart whose front end had been crashed into a crescent shape with some shock. In the fleeting two seconds, Batwoman's brain spun rapidly, and she immediately realized who she had crashed into.

Not good, there's a dog, retreat!

Completely ignoring the man's move to apologize, Batwoman swung the shopping cart flexibly again, brushed past the edge of that tall figure, and ran out of the aisle. The other party was obviously stunned.

Because also in that fleeting second, he obviously saw Batwoman's face clearly, and his super brain even analyzed who he had encountered faster than Batwoman.

The analysis was done, but there was no reasonable reason to explain why Bruce Wei En had turned into a woman.

Clark was stunned.

This is the Superman of the main universe. Although he is still considered young, he can be called well-traveled and knowledgeable. But to be fair, this sister is someone he has truly seen before.

Clark hurried to turn around to chase. Although Batwoman ran fast, she couldn't escape Superman's super vision. He soon saw Batwoman's figure shuttling through the gaps in the shelves.

So he immediately passed through the crowd to chase, but at this time, Batwoman, who was busy fleeing, didn't realize that the security guards had already caught up again. So at the end of an aisle made of shelves, Batwoman made an emergency brake and stared at the three security guards surrounding them with narrowed eyes.

"Hey, what's going on?" The voice of that Kryptonian rescue dog had already come over. Batwoman took a deep breath. At the most critical moment, she still chose the dog over the person.

She immediately retreated a step to the side and back, leaving space for the rushing Clark. Clark turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of confusion. Batwoman pointed at the security guards and said, "A clerk just harassed me, I beat him up, and they are chasing me."

Why don't they say that dogs are humans' best friends? How could Superman's ears tolerate the word "harassment"? He immediately widened his eyes, stepped forward, and stared at the security guards, asking, "What's going on? Why are you chasing this lady? Is she some kind of fugitive?"

"Uh, she..."

The security guard wanted to say something, but looking at Clark's eyes burning with the flames of justice, he really couldn't say anything. Finally, several people went to the monitoring room together, called up the surveillance video, and the supermarket manager came over to apologize, indicating that he would directly fire the employee and requesting Clark not to report this matter.

That's right, Clark came with a camera, and while playing the surveillance video, he recorded the whole process. And this supermarket happened to be the largest chain supermarket in Metropolis, which would be a major blow to their reputation.

After hearing this request from the manager, Clark looked at Batwoman. Batwoman shrugged; she didn't care at all, so Clark looked at the cart of goods Batwoman was pushing again.

"Of course, to express our apologies, we will give this lady a full waiver. Is there anything else you want to buy?" The manager said with a smile.

"Of course, and there are many." A list of countless items slid rapidly through Batwoman's mind, and then the manager and Clark watched in amazement as this lady rushed out like lightning, and before long, pulled back three carts of goods.

For a large chain supermarket, these goods really didn't count for much. The manager happily settled the bill with his card, sent the two to the door, and said, "I'm really sorry, you two, I hope I didn't ruin your pleasant dating journey."

"Um, we are actually not."

Batwoman nodded to the manager with a smile and said, "Fortunately, it wasn't ruined too much, goodbye."

Clark was stunned.

It's not that he hadn't seen Bruce Wei En smile, but for a male with a normal orientation, a woman's smile obviously fits his aesthetics better and carries some unusual implications. Kryptonians also have hormones.

As a result, as soon as Batwoman turned around, the business-like smile completely disappeared. She continued to push the shopping cart forward with that straight face and very skillfully carried the large bags of things on her shoulders, preparing to walk all the way back to her rental house.

"Wait a minute, lady." Clark immediately chased after her and said, "That thing is a bit too much, I drove a car, why don't I send you back."

"No need." Batwoman refused very crisply and straightforwardly, without even polite words, and didn't express gratitude for Clark's help just now, because she knew how good people like Superman were at pushing their luck.

Clark still followed behind Batwoman, with no intention of leaving, and darted from left to right, several times trying to take the things in Batwoman's hands to carry them himself.

The members of the New 52 Justice League are relatively young, which can be said to be the youngest batch among many universes. And because of the half-equation derived by Batman, the Darkseid War was advanced, and the Justice League gathered to fight the enemy, but in fact, this should be the running-in period of the Justice League.

At this time, Clark hadn't been working at this newspaper for long, which could be considered just out of the category of a newcomer. He hadn't known Lois for long, barely counting as a colleague with a familiar face.

Clark wasn't currying favor now—of course, he thought so himself—he was really very curious about what was going on with this female version of Bruce Wei En. How could she...

Clark, through the super-thinking of his super-brain, still couldn't deduce how the female version of Bruce Wei En could be so beautiful. He also, through his accurate judgment of justice and axioms, still didn't know for the time being how the female version of Bruce Wei En could be so beautiful.

So, Clark, relying on his instinct, began to circle Batwoman and became the main source of the initial unsuccessfulness of Batwoman's new life.

Of course, as usual, on the eve of Batwoman being annoyed to death, Clark finally succeeded.

Mainly because in the end, Clark directly changed to snatching. Who could snatch better than Superman? Batwoman could only look at Superman with a speechless face as he put her things into the car.

Batwoman knew that Kryptonian rescue dogs in the whole universe were like this. She felt that she might as well have been sent to the police station by the security guards.

Because it was also very usual, the car drove directly into the underground garage of the rental house. Clark, on the grounds that a lady shouldn't carry such heavy things, carried these large bags of goods and took the elevator with Batwoman.

"That... I have a question."

"We have no relationship."

"Actually, I wanted to say..."

"Brucie Wei En."

"??!!"

"Indeed no relationship."

"Okay, then..."

"No, there is no extra space here for you to sit, give me the things."

"But..."

Bang!
