LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 18: Family II
Zara's POV
"So, would you like to see him?" Kara asks again.
"Of course I want to see him—he's my nephew!" I respond, then turn to Damian. "Are you coming too?"
"Only if you want me to," he replies casually.
I smile and say, "Then you have to come."
Kara's POV
We head downstairs, and soon Damian and Zara are at it, bickering about whether a Kryptonian or the Batmobile is faster.
"If you guys want to know, just carry out the experiment," I interrupt, hoping to end their argument.
They both stop, glance at each other, and give me identical "Are you serious?" looks.
"Just race against each other. Whoever wins proves their point," I clarify.
"What about the loser?" Zara asks, her tone suddenly devious.
I think for a moment before answering, "The loser has to do one thing the winner asks them to do."
Zara's smile widens as she glances at Damian, clearly imagining her victory. Damian notices and says, "Nah, I'm good."
"See? He knows I'd beat him. Why force him?" Zara teases, her voice laced with playful smugness.
Damian stops walking, his expression calm but calculated. "You're going to regret that," he says before hopping into the Batmobile.
"Okay, ready, set, go!" I yell, waving a handkerchief. They both take off in a blur of speed, leaving me behind. I decide to fly after them to see who wins.
To my surprise, Zara reaches Clark's house first. "How do you even know where Clark lives?" I ask, landing beside her.
Zara grins and says, "I read your mind."
She pauses, looking around. "Wait, Damian should have arrived by now. Where is he?"
Moments later, the Batmobile pulls up. "Where were you?" Zara asks as she walks toward him.
"At the Batcave," Damian replies, stepping out.
"But we were racing!" she exclaims.
"What race?" he says with a sly grin, brushing past her.
Zara groans, exasperated. "Can't you just be serious about something once?"
Damian stops mid-step, turns slightly, and smirks. "Done," he says simply before heading toward the house.
Zara freezes, realization dawning. "Wait—that doesn't count!" she protests, following after him.
Damian doesn't even turn back, his smirk widening.
When he opens the door, we're greeted with, "What are you guys doing here?"
