Better Ask the Experts of Weird

What came next was a long series of questions, her trying to recollect what she could of what happened at the Last War as she had coined it, the sensation of being one with reality itself jumpstarting the beginning of a new one, drifting amongst the stars with no real identity for herself and finally, her finding the capsule and the empty embryo and using it somehow to create herself this body.

Good thing was that these were seasoned and veteran heroes that had fought against simple criminals to intergalactic gods. Very little could really make them blink in surprise, but even they were a bit in awe of her story.

Well, Clark was a bit more animated, being really interested in her story, probably the reporter in him making him want to know more and document it, not that he would print a story like that considering the topic, but meanwhile Batman was simply listening, asking a couple of important questions when he wanted specific information, all as he started several tests on her.

From her eyes to her lungs, which made him arch his eyebrow for some reason, all culminating in him trying to get a blood sample, probably to check if there was any kryptonian DNA on her, what with mr. Clean himself, Lex Luthor being involved after all. The first needle simply broke once it made contact with her skin, with Batman ready to try with something else, before she stopped him, she then concentrated and signaled to him to try again, this time she felt the prickle of the needle being injected on her body. It was something in the back of her mind telling her, well, more like a suggestion? It was basically how to make her body less resistant, probably, but it was as if she already KNEW how to do that, there would be a long way for her to discover exactly what she was and what she could do.

“Anything you can tell us Bruce?” The tall chiseled man, who was now slightly hunched and made himself look as none threatening as possible, more than likely an acquired skill after years of hiding his abilities, definitely a great actor; this superhuman was, with the exception of the butler that had taken care of him for decades, the only person that could be this friendly with Batman, it was fascinating to see them interact, it was even more unbelievable that they existed at all, she will have to get used to the idea that anything could be possible out there, that any dimension could exist, it was scary too.

“There is no trace of kryptonian DNA or anything abnormal on the blood sample,” they all sighed, at least for now nothing was too ordinary “but then at the next second the blood reacts in the same way as your own sample Clark, whatever is happening, she is in constant flux, an extremely stable flux, which is on itself a paradox really,” okay, that made no sense whatsoever, what the heck did he mean with that? Was that some kind of technobabble? “Do you know anything about what Lex was doing in that lab?”

“Just what he deigned to rant about, mainly that it was a new experiment about cloning organs to make saving lives easier,” Batman scoffed at that explanation, it was clear that no one in the cave believed in that man’s words.

“Is more than likely that he was doing an experiment more akin to Cadmus than anything humanitarian, if we were betting men I would bet you ten to one it was another attempt of his to create a super soldier that would rival or even surpass you.”

“So, how does that correlate with me right now? I am a little lost,” she still was wishing for something about her new body, was it kryptonian or not?

“Whatever Luthor was trying to do seems to have been overwritten by your presence, you say that you used your original body as a catalyst for the reignition or rebirth of this world, you are strong, resistant and fast like a kryptonian under the yellow sun, but at the same time you are a completely average human woman, and not all that, for a second your test had more in common with Wonder Woman, in another second it had heavy traces of magical energies.”

“Bruce, what are you talking about? Is that even possible?”

“What I am saying is that her existence is impossible, but that is tied to who she is if her story is correct, you want answers? I have none, I’ve never seen something like this before, but then again, I don’t think we have ever met the beginning of reality in physical form, so who knows what is true anymore? Probably anything she thinks about, which makes her the most dangerous being in the universe… or any universe,” oh no, she recognized that voice, it was ‘Batman is preparing contingency plans’, so she raised her hands.

“Hold on, wait, look, I just wanted to live again, feel something, and now you are telling me that I am… what, some kind of ultra metahuman or something like that? Look, I can assure you, I have no desire to… do anything crazy, or whatever could happen,” this was bad, she had come here for some help, not to get into trouble with the biggest heroes in this world! Thankfully, and like in most cases, Clark served once more as the intermediary.

“Let’s give her a chance, you gave me one when we met,” even in his Clark Kent persona, the man oozes charisma, and even Batman seemed to defer to him from time to time.

“I was just giving my thoughts, we still don’t know if what you were telling about the restart of reality was true, but you know too much about us to be a coincidence, so we will see what will happen from now on,” she finally let out her breathe, not that she really needed to breath much, oh great, maybe she was screwed up at the end, she wished she had a lollipop, she used to have tons of them in her previous life, it was nice to have that little sugar help to relax from time to time, just as she was thinking that she did put the strawberry lollipop on her mouth, just to stay completely shocked about what had just happened.

Taking the lollipop out of her mouth she looked at what had to be impossible, but it wasn’t, right? It was like her creating this body, it was because she wanted to make it, or the soldiers and everything else moving in slow motion, it was not because she had gained super speed, is because she wanted the world to slow down, and now this, she had summoned or created, or something, and now there it was, her favorite treat.

Because she had jumped into reality itself… she had become reality itself, so if reality could change, she could… what? Travel across reality? Was that even possible? Well, she already had the idea in her head, she could already feel things beginning to shift, if that was even the right word, to move around her, and just like that, before she could even grasp what was going on, the world had changed.

She was not in the batcave, instead she was on a dirty alley somewhere, somewhen, out there in the multiverse, just freaking great.
