Kara's life has returned to peace again. Many people might think that the DC Universe is full of disasters and dangers, but that's not entirely true—except for Gotham City.
Kara lives in Metropolis, and the city is not plagued with the kind of chaos Gotham endures. There's no equivalent of Arkham Asylum there, and Metropolis stands as a beacon of honesty and order.
Kara's column has also gained momentum.
Since the sensation caused by her first issue about pig intestines, Kara has become a popular food critic, with each of her columns attracting countless loyal readers.
The entire Metropolis has embraced the habit of following Kara's recipes weekly, eagerly awaiting her latest culinary creations. Her recipes, which span a variety of international cuisines, have brought joy and excitement to her readers.
Through Kara's columns, Metropolis residents enjoy the specialties of different cultures without ever leaving their city. Businesspeople have even begun capitalizing on the trends she sets, speculating on ingredients based on her featured recipes.
For example, if she writes about preparing beggar's chicken, the prices of chicken-related ingredients spike the next day. If she showcases a steamed fish recipe, the prices of all kinds of fish soar.
No one expected a food column to wield such influence over the city's economy and culture.
Meanwhile, Kara has been keeping an eye on Clark's budding relationship with Lois. She supports Clark's efforts to pursue Lois and notices subtle progress between them.
Clark, however, often gets flustered when Kara teases him about it. Having been relatively shy and reserved until college, Clark only began forming deep friendships, with Lois being his first real romantic interest—though they haven't officially started dating yet.
Kara, on the other hand, is completely different.
She's also made a few trips to Gotham City over the past year.
Since the Joker incident, nearly a year has passed, and time seems to have flown by.
Jennifer has remained in Gotham City, as Kara predicted.
Jennifer has fully settled into life with Bruce. A little over two months ago, Jennifer gave birth to a healthy baby boy, named Damian Wayne. Kara jokingly nicknamed him "Rice."
As Bruce and Jennifer's firstborn, Damian holds a special place in their family. Bruce worked tirelessly over the past year to win Jennifer's heart and convince her of his sincerity.
Eventually, Jennifer accepted his proposal, and a modest diamond ring now adorns her finger. Jennifer, being Gotham's Chief Justice, insisted on keeping the ring understated—she didn't want to give the impression of impropriety.
If it were up to Bruce, he'd have presented her with a diamond the size of a boulder.
The couple's journey to marriage was marked by challenges, but they emerged stronger. Meanwhile, Kara became Damian's godmother, a title that made Dani immensely jealous.
Dani, busy with her own endeavors, couldn't attend the christening but called Jennifer to offer her congratulations. "Next time, I'm claiming the godmother role," Dani teased, eyeing Jennifer's potential second child.
Bruce, overhearing the conversation, appeared thoughtful. Over the past year, he had shed his playboy persona and remained wholly devoted to Jennifer.
Jennifer, however, firmly shook her head at Bruce's unspoken thoughts. "Don't even think about it," she said with a playful glare.
Kara, holding baby Damian, rolled her eyes at the couple's flirting and left the room to give them privacy.
Despite her own love for the child, Kara remains a steadfast bachelor. She knows that the DC Universe is fictional, and the idea of falling in love with someone from this world seems absurd to her.
Damian isn't just her godson—he feels like her own son. Kara cradled the baby with affection, a rare softness in her expression.
Dani, too, has hinted at wanting children, particularly a daughter. However, she seems to be busy with something important lately, and Kara couldn't help but feel curious.
After trying to call Dani and failing to reach her, Kara's concern grew. When Dani finally returned the call, she explained, "I was inside a secure facility. Strong security measures blocked my phone signal. What's up?"
"I was just wondering what you've been up to," Kara said.
Dani hesitated before revealing, "We've discovered an alien. But keep this between us."
Kara blinked in surprise. "An alien? Like me?"
"No, this one's dead," Dani clarified. "We're studying the remains. He looked human, but he wore green tights."
Kara relaxed slightly. It didn't seem related to Clark. Still, curiosity lingered in her mind as she wondered what other secrets the universe might hold.
