"This... this..." Meanwhile, Clark, who witnessed the entire battle between Robert and Diana, scratches his head. Honestly, if Diana hadn't been the one to injure Robert, Clark would have already rushed over.
But seeing Diana carry Robert home, Clark's expression turns awkward. He looks away, no longer focusing on them, then glances at Kara, opens his mouth slightly, but doesn't know what to say.
What can he say? That Diana carried Robert home? That would surely upset Kara.
In the end, Clark remains silent, neither mentioning the incident nor paying further attention to Robert. After all, Robert seems severely injured, so let him rest there...
Clark feels relieved again, grateful he didn't let Kara follow. Otherwise, the outcome would be unpredictable. On the other hand, after bringing Robert home, Diana glances at his torn clothes and scabbed wounds, knowing she can't just leave him dirty like this...
But seeing Robert deeply asleep and his injuries healing rapidly, Diana doesn't want to wake him from this state.
"It's okay, he hasn't grown up yet, still a child..." Diana murmurs to herself after a moment, seemingly speaking more to reassure herself than anyone else.
Soon, Diana carries the sleeping Robert to the bathroom, fills the tub with hot water, then blushes slightly and looks awkward as she removes Robert's torn clothes. But then she exclaims in surprise, "Huh? A tail?!"
During the battle, Robert didn't use his tail to fight, as it wouldn't have been much of a distraction against an opponent like Diana.
Thus, Robert's tail remained wrapped around his waist, barely noticeable even with his clothes torn. After all, even someone as experienced with superhuman powers as Diana wouldn't expect Robert to have a tail wrapped around his waist...
Now, preparing to wash Robert, Diana is startled by his tail, but quickly becomes curious about the fluffy appendage.
"It's much nicer looking than that gorilla's tail..." Diana observes Robert's tail and murmurs, "But why does he have a tail? Is that why he's progressing so fast? Is he not purely human?"
"However, he doesn't have divine power in his body. Although his strength and the Eastern divine Qi magic are somewhat similar, it's just a resemblance. So he probably isn't from that divine lineage, and other divine beings don't seem to have similar abilities..."
"Could he be an alien? Not impossible, given the vast universe. A slightly different evolutionary path leading to a human-like species with tails isn't strange..."
Diana mutters, then does something similar to Kara, gently poking Robert's tail with her finger.
Robert's tail trembles slightly, then relaxes from his waist, splashing water everywhere. Diana, startled, quickly withdraws her hand, looking at Robert with a mix of suspicion and embarrassment, thinking he might have woken up...
But after a while, Diana realizes Robert hasn't awoken, assuming it was just a reflex action of the tail. She then sighs in relief, then looks at her wet, semi-transparent clothes and shakes her head.
Diana admits she was a bit flustered, but she still finds Robert's tail, even when it moves, quite cute...
After half a day, Diana carefully cleans Robert, changes the water, then removes her damp clothes and enjoys a bath herself. The unconscious Robert misses a potentially exciting moment, but he probably wouldn't care much even if he knew... right?
...
The next day, Robert wakes up on the bed, his injuries not fully healed but no longer a major concern. He can move freely and feels his body and Qi have improved significantly, even his mental strength seems fuller, exciting him!
"Indeed, battle is the best way to improve!" Robert excitedly clenches his fist, then realizes he's not wearing any clothes. He pauses, conjures a set of clothes, and looks around, "Where am I? Diana's place?"
"You're awake? How's the injury? Did I go too hard last night?" Diana enters, hearing the noise, teasingly smiling at Robert, "You dressed quickly. I was planning to buy you some clothes. That ability of yours is quite useful..."
"So, you undressed me? And bathed me?" Even Robert, not usually sensitive, looks at Diana somewhat awkwardly.
"Who else?" Diana laughs, looking at Robert, "Or did you plan to lie dirty in my bed? I'm not embarrassed, why are you? But I didn't expect you to be shy..."
Robert's stomach growls, interrupting his response.
Diana laughs at the sound, "Get up. I made something to eat..."
"Then I won't be polite!" Robert's eyes light up, rushing to the dining room, then stops, looking at the two neat sandwiches and hot milk, "This... is the food?"
"What? Your alien species doesn't eat sandwiches or drink hot milk?" Diana follows, laughing.
"Huh? How did you... Oh, you saw my tail when you undressed me!" Robert pauses, then nods, understanding, then touches his stomach, "But what you don't know is, my species eats a lot. This little food isn't even enough for my teeth gaps. Is there any wild animal gathering place or buffet nearby..."
"What do you mean I undressed you..." Diana rolls her eyes, looking at the sandwiches and milk, then says softly, "Fine, I'll take you to eat something good. No need for a buffet. How much can you eat? It's a pity I even warmed the milk..."
"Nom nom! Gulp gulp!"
Before Diana finishes, Robert devours the sandwiches and drinks the milk, looking expectantly at her for the main meal...
