Maybe it was time to finally take a breather.
World's Finest
They… she closed her eyes, trying to focus on the now, trying to make sense of what had happened, not just a few minutes ago, but a whole lifetime ago, another her, another time, one that was so far ago and just a moment too. It was so absurd, absolutely bonkers now that she was finally allowed a moment to think… a moment to once more be a person.
She could feel the enormity of what she had been but mere minutes ago, a part of reality itself, not only that, but the one that restarted reality, she had done it, she could finally be in awe about what she had accomplished.
They had been a mortal among gods and demons, heroes and villains, and among all of them she had… won? Just by seeing everything around her made her feel that she had accomplished the impossible. It was hard to think back at what had happened after she threw herself into the egg, when she had been a young man way over his head, her current form was definitely not compatible with the thoughts of a being that was part of reality itself, if even that made any lick of sense.
She will need some time to think and rest, let her brain slow down and work at the rhythm of human beings… if she was even a human being in this body, what with Lex Luthor’s obsession with perfection, power and Superman, just another thing to worry about.
And speaking of worrying about things, she finally noticed one certain thing, the fact that she was out in the open, in the middle of the night without clothes on, she had left so quickly that she didn’t even put attention to it, she had more important things to worry about at the moment, like finally being alive after who knows how long, the fact that she could either slow down time or be as fast as The Flash, and the fact that she had gained a body due to some strange machinations of Mr. Clean himself.
It was cold outside, she didn’t feel it, but she knew that it was cold, there was wind this high up, what with the place filled to the brim with skyscrapers, and here she was in her birthday suit, which technically it WAS her birthday, in a way.
She took this opportunity to finally take a look at herself, at least her body, because it felt so long since she had a corporeal form and she liked it, the body was lithe, athletic, but she had curves and her tits seemed to be a really nice handful, maybe a bit bigger than a handful really, all and all, not bad.
Going back to the more important facts was that she needed several things, somewhere to take cover and she needed new clothes. She didn’t want to go out and steal some clothes, because really, she was sure no store would ever take credit from her, not even if she told them she was the one that had saved reality itself, and she also wasn’t in the mood of finding an empty building or apartment, sleeping amongst dust and filth wasn’t exactly her way to celebrate her return to the real world, well, as real as it was being in a comic book reality.
Wait, that’s it, comic book reality, if this was a dimension based on DC, then that meant she had one person she could go not only to get somewhere safe and clothes, but also for information and a clever mind to help her in this situation, now, there was a slight problem, how the hell was she going to get to Gotham like this? Then, a lightbulb appeared over her head, not literally of course, she had wanted to get out of the problem she had been back then, she needed to find a place where to think, and she did, she teleported herself away from… wherever Lex had her, so could she do it again?
That was the main thing, was she able to replicate what she had done back then? Only one way to find out apparently, so she tried to concentrate once more, to think of where she wanted to be. She could fill it after a few seconds, a weird tug in the back of her head, the image of a dim cave appeared in her mind for a second, so she tried again, trying to visualize it better and once she could feel a tug, this time even stronger, the cave seemed to materialize for a second, but she lost the connection.
She took a deep breath and tried once more, she was so close, this time she saw it in her mind, a clear picture of where exactly she had to go, and there she went; it did not feel as if she was taking a huge jump, it was not like they explained in the movies and books, how you were pulled into a new place, all that feeling of nausea and disorientation, it was nothing like that. In reality it was as if the world, the dimension itself had decided to move under her feet, as if she had been static, her feet firmly placed on the ground and the world had decided to just skip ahead, until she was placed on the place she had been thinking about.
Next thing she knew, she had to duck underneath a batarang, all thanks to the owner of the cave, or better said, the Batcave. Looking at her underneath the rather ominous looking cowl was the man that she had read and seen in movies and cartoons. It felt rather ridiculous, her completely in the nude about to get into a fight with one of the most famous superheroes in all of history, what a way to start her new life.
“Well, this is pretty much what I expected,” the joke just felt flat, what with Batman’s glare only increasing in size, just great, better to disarm that bomb “look, you were the only person I could think that could help me at this point, also, your friend in Metropolis is probably looking for me at this moment, he is probably as confused as we all are,” better to be as upfront as possible with a man that had contingency plans for his contingency plans; for response Batman arched an eyebrow, it was incredible that even with the mask she was able to read that expression.
“Does this have anything to do with your current lack of attire?” Well, at least he seemed to at least want to listen to her situation.
“I just came out of what I think was an incubation chamber designed by Lex Luthor,” it was with those words that Batman walked to the computer at the center of the cave.
“Superman, I think you are going to want to listen to this,” he said after pressing a series of keys, a voice came loud and clear from the other side.
“Well, this is a nice surprise, what can I help you with this time?”
“If you are looking for a young blonde girl, she is right here with me in the middle of the batcave,” the communication then was cut off, knowing a bit about the abilities of the Man of Steel, he will probably be here in a minute or two. In the meantime, they had to do something about her current predicament of not wearing anything. Batman may be really stoic, but even he must feel a little bit weirded out at the fact there was an unknown naked girl in the middle of his secret base.
Thankfully, he was a rich guy, with his butler coming down with a change of clothes in his arms, followed by the same tall man she had seen at the laboratory, this time wearing a tweed suit that seemed one or two sizes bigger, that alongside his rather nerdish combination of thick black glasses and hairstyle really sold the idea of him being rather inoffensive, no wonder nobody put 2 and 2 together.
“I’m quite perplexed master, usually when you have blonde women in the house in need of a change of clothes they are of the supermodel variety, not damsels in distress,” both her and Clark smiled at the witty banter of Alfred as this one gave her the clothes “hope these clothes are alright, they may not fit you considering neither master in the house is close to your body frame, so they may end up being rather loose,” the man said in a very polite but welcoming tone, obviously he was the one that was the most openly emotional of the men of the Wayne manor.
She felt a little more human now that she was wearing a loose set of gray sports pants and hoodie, thankfully they had strings so she could tie them and alongside a gray hoodie she felt a lot more human, if that was even possible.
“Thank you Alfred,” she said making all three men look at her strangely “and yes, I know who you all are, Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent,” she then pointed at each one in order, leaving them astonished for a second, before the master of the house recovered faster than the other two.
“That explains a bit of how you knew of this place, at least enough to teleport inside, but you will have to explain the how,” well, that would be a doozy.
