Chapter 112 (edited)

Kara did not expect Dani to bring such unexpected news to her.

Aliens?

She was taken aback, her mind racing, wondering if her true origin had been exposed.

Little did Dani realize how close she had come to accidentally revealing Kara's secret.

If this conversation had gone differently—Dani exclaiming, "Kara, I found aliens!" and Kara replying, "I am one."—it would have been a disaster.

At that moment, Alfred entered the room.

They were definitely still at Wayne Manor. Jennifer had moved in after giving birth to Damian.

Jennifer had no family in Gotham, and her parents likely didn't even know she had a child.

It wasn't intentional; she simply didn't know how to explain everything that had happened.

"Are Master Bruce and Miss Jennifer in there?" Alfred asked, already treating Jennifer as the lady of the house.

Kara shrugged. "I think you'd better leave them alone for now. They might be planning to add another member to the family."

Alfred gave her a knowing nod, then turned to look at the baby boy sleeping in Kara's arms. His eyes glistened with tears.

No matter how many times he saw Damian, Alfred couldn't hold back his emotions. Raising Bruce had been an honor, and now seeing the next generation of Waynes felt like a miracle.

Kara smiled and gently handed the child over so Alfred could hold him.

She then left, deciding not to disturb Bruce and Jennifer. Of course, her definition of "not disturbing" was loose, as she pushed open the door to their room.

Jennifer and Bruce were deep in conversation, discussing how Jennifer should break the news to her family.

"Jen, you're going to have to tell them eventually. If your parents find out you've had a child without telling them, you're going to be in serious trouble," Kara warned.

Jennifer sighed, running a hand through her hair.

She didn't even know where to begin. She had only been in Gotham for a year, and now she had a child with Bruce Wayne, of all people. How would her parents react?

And worse, she and Bruce weren't married yet. That fact alone would be hard for her conservative family to accept.

"They're going to scold me to death," Jennifer muttered, looking distressed.

Bruce wrapped an arm around her shoulders, his voice filled with warmth. "Then let's get married first. Once we're married, we can tell them together."

Jennifer pushed him away, glaring. "Are you insane? If I show up married without even telling them, they'll disown me on the spot."

She was right, of course. Her parents would be furious if they were left out of something as monumental as their daughter's wedding. Tradition demanded that the father give the bride away—a moment Jennifer knew her family wouldn't want to miss.

"You're just going to have to tell them the truth," Kara said simply. "It was an accident, sure, but they'll understand eventually."

Jennifer bit her lip. "But I feel bad for Damian. It feels like I'm saying he wasn't wanted."

Bruce spoke softly, squeezing Jennifer's hand. "Not an accident—destiny."

Kara groaned, throwing her hands up. "Ugh, I'm choking on all this sweetness. Am I here just to witness this public display of affection?"

She turned to leave, muttering under her breath about how couples like them should consider the feelings of single people.

Still, she had to admit, Bruce's ability to win Jennifer back with sincerity and charm was impressive.

Kara decided to tease someone else to lighten her mood. She dialed Clark.

"Clark, I'm officially ordering you to get things moving with Lois. Have a kid already so I'm not the only godparent around here!"

"Sis, Lois is right here," Clark hissed before hurriedly ending the call.

Kara laughed, shaking her head. Some things never changed.

At Wayne Manor, the evening carried on. Kara took over the kitchen, preparing an elaborate dinner to celebrate Damian's arrival.

The gathering was small—just family. Jennifer had insisted on keeping it private. She felt Damian was too young to be introduced to outsiders yet, wanting to avoid any risks to his fragile health.

Even close friends like Harvey and Rachel weren't invited. Jennifer didn't mind, but Bruce had struggled with the decision, wanting to share his joy with everyone he cared about.

In the end, they compromised, deciding to wait until Damian was a little older.

For now, it was a quiet family celebration, with Kara joking and teasing to keep things lively.

But just as they were finishing dinner, Kara's phone buzzed urgently. The ringtone seemed more urgent than usual, sending a chill down her spine.

She answered quickly.

"Kara," Dani's voice came through, weak and laced with panic. "Help me."
