American Comics: The Mighty Superman, Starting From Gwen Spider

Pushing the iron gate open gently, Peter gestured to Kayla behind him with a nod, indicating for her to follow.

Although Kayla felt strange in her heart, she didn't hesitate and unconditionally followed behind Peter.

Although the mansion in front of them appeared to have tightly closed doors, in reality, none of these doors were locked.

The rooms in the mansion were filled with all sorts of peculiar antiques.

Peter could even see a roaring fire burning in the fireplace, and even the dining table still had plates that had just been finished.

"Peter, this person you're familiar with seems to have no idea who we are," Kayla remarked upon seeing the situation.

"In reality, I am only familiar with him on my side, he doesn't know me at all."

Kayla: "......"

Seeing Peter heading towards the kitchen, Kayla followed closely behind.

The kitchen was also quite messy, but Peter focused his gaze on the cabinet in the back.

The old man living in this mansion, Bruce Wayne, who was already old, was staring at him warily.

"Batman, stop hiding there and come out for a chat."

Bruce, who was hiding in the cabinet, frowned. He naturally saw the man in the black battle suit staring at him.

But he had already hidden himself when they entered the mansion, so why was this guy able to accurately locate his position?

Bruce Wayne, feeling somewhat helpless, pushed open the cabinet and walked out slowly, wearing a casual sweater.

"How did you know I was hiding here?"

"My eyes and ears can see through objects and capture some sounds."

"A super-ability user?" Bruce Wayne found it hard to believe.

From fighting criminals to retiring, Bruce had never encountered so-called super-ability users. In fact, he believed that such abilities didn't exist in this world.

"You can understand it that way." Peter pulled out a chair and sat down.

Kayla stood quietly next to Peter, not interrupting their conversation.

"Let me think." Bruce sat across from Peter, organizing his thoughts a bit before asking, "Firstly, you call me Batman, but from your age... you seem to be only in your early twenties?"

"In fact, I'm only eighteen."

"Just became an adult?"

"Just became an adult."

"Where did you learn the name Batman?"

"Or rather, it's safe to say that the name Batman... is known by many young people living in Gotham City."

At this point, Bruce crossed his arms and finally got to the point: "What is your purpose in looking for me? As you can see, I'm getting up there in age, and you two are superhumans. Logically speaking, an old man like me shouldn't be able to help you much."

"I want to form a temporary organization, definitely, and if there's a chance, I won't rule out making it permanent."

"And you, Batman, you are the key figure in this organization."

Bruce listened without expression, but didn't remain silent. Instead, he asked, "Putting aside why I would be the key figure in your organization, what are you planning to do in this era of peace by forming this organization?"

"To prepare for the impending crisis of human extinction brought by aliens from outer space."

"Aliens?" Bruce remained noncommittal, instinctively feeling that Peter was talking nonsense.

"Tomorrow, definitely, or possibly the day after, a group of Kryptonians from Krypton will descend upon this planet."

"The Kryptonians originally lived on Krypton, which has been destroyed. The current situation on Earth is very suitable for their Kryptonian lifestyle, so they plan to use the Genesis Engine to rebuild Krypton on this planet."

"Are you saying... that this so-called Genesis Engine has the ability to alter the Earth's atmosphere? I assume the environment on the alien's home planet is different from that of Earth, right?" Bruce's expression grew increasingly serious.

Peter admired Bruce's quick thinking. He could only say that Bruce truly lived up to being the brain of the Justice League, able to react so swiftly even at his age.

"The enemy is a Kryptonian army, and I might be held back by their leader."

"There are too many Kryptonians, so I thought of you."

"Why do you know so much about these so-called Kryptonians? And how can you even know what will happen tomorrow?" Bruce couldn't quite understand.

"The person next to me is a Kryptonian," Peter replied.

"She's an alien?" Bruce looked at Kayla, his eyes widening in astonishment.

In Bruce's eyes, Kayla's appearance and features were no different from those of humans on Earth.

If Peter hadn't said anything, Bruce would never have considered Kayla to be an alien.

"If she's a Kryptonian, why is she staying with you instead of joining the group of Kryptonians that are coming to Earth?" Bruce asked.

Kayla, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up: "There are many families and factions among the Kryptonians. I am a descendant of the El family from Krypton. Before Krypton was about to explode, my cousin Carl and I were sent to this planet in an escape pod for refuge."

"For some unknown reason, I ended up on this planet, but my cousin didn't make it..."

"After I landed on Earth, I was trapped by humans for several years. It was Peter who saved me, so I chose to follow him."

"But I want to personally confirm whether Zod and his group are really planning to destroy this planet."
