Chapter 160 True Villain
Chapter 160 True Villain
...
"Lex Luthor..." Bruce Wayne whispered the name softly, just as he was about to ask, but he noticed that Stephen had already approached Lois Lane, and their conversation appeared to have concluded.
He hesitated for a moment, but Bruce Wayne chose not to intervene.
His primary concern at the moment was not Stephen but rather the broader topic of Kryptonians and Superman.
In Bruce Wayne's mind, Stephen seemed less destructive than Superman, perhaps because he acted out of amusement, unlike Superman, who might sought revenge. Nevertheless, it was essential to remember that Superman was not a human being from Earth.
"Boom!"
Bruce Wayne contemplated these thoughts as he watched Stephen pick up Lois Lane and take off into the sky.
"Cough!....Cough!" Coughing and waving his hands to disperse the dust that had been kicked up.
Stephen surveyed the chaotic apartment.
Stephen gently set Lois down and casually remarked, "I'll be on my way now. I'll see you in a few days."
Lois Lane looked worried and asked, "What about me?"
Stephen smiled and shrugged. "Do as your heart desires, but remember, you belong to me now."
With a click, Stephen passionately kissed Lois Lane's lips, then turned and flew out of the window.
...
Central City, a villa.
Stephen first checked on the Kryptonian bodies that had been stashed away in his disciple, The Time Ship. Then, he decided to test the nano-shrinking technology once more, and the Trajectory upgrade proved highly successful.
When the ship shrank, its contents shrank along with it, including the people inside. Returning to the villa after the successful experiment, the once-noisy living room fell silent.
Laurie, Thea, Black Siren, Trajectory, Betty, and Lisa all gazed at Stephen, their eyes filled with curiosity and a touch of fear.
"Betty," Stephen addressed her.
Betty nodded and took a deep breath. "I'm ready."
Without many words, Stephen sent a surge of blue electric current into Betty, and her screams followed.
This sudden action left everyone in terror. As the electric current flowed, an energy mass transferred from Betty's body to Stephen's.
After a while, Betty knelt on the ground, gasping for breath. She reached out to touch objects, but nothing turned into explosives.
"My ability is gone too! Fantastic!" Betty exclaimed with excitement.
"I didn't completely absorb your energy. You should be able to recover after a while. Enjoy your well-deserved vacation," Stephen said with a chuckle. He then walked upstairs, leaving Gideon to locate Superman's Fortress of Solitude.
As Lois had indicated, the story was far from over. Stephen needed to confront a few more challenges, or else he would disappoint General Swanwick, who had his eyes fixed on the ultimate villain.
...
The sound of running water echoed from the bathroom.
After his shower, Stephen stepped out and found Black Siren waiting at the door, her eyes fixed on his muscular chest.
"Boss," she purred seductively.
"What is it?" Stephen asked as he approached.
"It seems like the boss might have forgotten something," Black Siren reminded, with a sly grin.
"Oh, Is it time for exploring then?" Stephen reached out and lightly touched the Black Siren's nose ring. "Join me."
Entering the bedroom, the Black Siren closed the door smoothly.
Stephen turned to observe as the Black Siren slowly and seductively unzipped her tight leather clothing. The long coat slid off her shoulders, revealing a black push up bra underneath.
"I guess it's all here," Stephen quipped with a chuckle.
The Black Siren removed her leather pants. "Maybe there's more?"
"Even if you tried to blackmail Laurel Lance, she wouldn't do this," Stephen chuckled and counted. In total, there were four rings not including the nose one. This trend seemed to have caught on in Europe and America, perhaps even more so in the world where villains from Earth II reigned supreme.
"So, I'm not her, but I'm also her!"
"I can do what she can do, and what she can't...I can do that too!" The Black Siren moved closer to Stephen and pressed up against him.
In truth, their appearances were identical, and even though both the Black Siren and Black Canary wore black gothic dresses, they exuded entirely different vibes. This distinction brought a refreshing change for Stephen, especially since the Black Siren had the air of a skilled player but was actually a newcomer, at least on paper, which made the situation even more intriguing.
As a reward for bringing joy to himself, Stephen helped her replace a silver ring with a golden one.
After losing her energy, Betty left the villa to experience life as an ordinary person. Lisa accompanied her. Laurie and Thea, who had been staying there, remained. Trajectory departed after completing the disciple's upgrade, having many matters to attend to.
Nightfall arrived.
Today Black Siren claimed her spot as Stephen pillow instead of Laurie or Thea's , curling up in Stephen's arms and drifting off to sleep after few more exploring.
...
In Metropolis
The military and the government had control over the wreckage of Zod's spacecraft. This extraterrestrial technology demanded thorough study, with Lex Luthor, who possessed valuable knowledge of Kryptonians, leading the research and analysis efforts.
As night fell, Superman tirelessly flew around, repairing the destruction caused by the Kryptonians. Many people eyed him warily or even cursed at him, yet he silently continued his work.
...
In Gotham
Bruce Wayne in the Batcave was attempting to crack the databases of Lex and the military to gain more insight into Superman and the Kryptonians.
A night passed with no words exchanged and no sleep for any of them.
...
In the early morning, the golden sunlight filtered in, casting a gentle glow.
Stephen awoke and reached for his phone on the side, turning it on. A barrage of notifications immediately chimed.
He glanced at the missed calls from Caitlin, Cisco, and the Birds of Prey, noting that Carol Ferris had also tried to reach him. After perusing the messages, he set the phone aside and greeted the already awake Black Siren lying on top of him. "Good morning."
"Good morning, boss," the Black Siren smiled.
"Get up." Stephen chuckled as he patted her back, then rolled over to retrieve his clothes and put them on. He raised his bracelet to release Gideon.
"Have you found the Fortress of Solitude?"
"I have found it, Mr. Stephen," Gideon replied while displaying the map.
Stephen glanced at it and smiled. "The show is about to begin."
"Boss, what are you planning to do?" The Black Siren got up and embraced Stephen with curiosity from behind. "What's your plan for becoming a true villain?"
