And back with another chapter. But before we get to it, I have two things to say.
A while ago, I finally saw Space Jam: A New Legacy. Yep, finally saw it about two years after its release. And what did I ultimately think of it? Well... I surprisingly enjoyed it. Maybe it's because I had pretty low expectations, but it was more entertaining than I was expecting it to be. Mind you, I have several problems with this movie (there were certainly several wasted ideas in it, which prevented it from being an overall pretty good sequel), but I shockingly ended up liking it more than disliking it. I don't think it's as good as either the original Space Jam or Looney Tunes: Back in Action, but for a sequel that didn't need to exist, I had a good time watching it (for the most part, of course). With that said, I don't think I'm going to defend it against those who didn't like it. There are plenty of controversial movies I'm willing to defend against those who didn't like them, like Spider-Man 3, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi just to name a few. I'm willing to defend them because I feel like a lot of the criticisms against them, while some of them can be understandable, can be a bit if not downright ridiculous, such as when people complained about the "Nuking the Fridge" scene from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. But with this Space Jam sequel, even though I enjoyed it more than I disliked it, I can totally see why some people wouldn't like it, especially since I do have some problems of my own with this movie. Although even if I were to dislike this movie like everyone else, I don't think I would go so far as to call it one of the worst movies ever made. Mediocre? Yeah. One of the worst movies ever made? Nah.
Also, I saw DC League of Super-Pets. Not much to say about that one other than it was decently enjoyable.
But anyway, let's continue this story.
Chapter 16: Mayhem at the Daily Planet
"Hum, when ya said 'roasted rabbit', did ya mean it literally or did ya mean that I would get one of these roasts that are sometimes shown on TV?" Bugs asked Livewire, stalling for time until he could find some way to deal with her.
"I think you already know the answer." The villainess replied, smirking before shooting lightnings at the rabbit.
The latter leapt out of the way to avoid getting electrocuted.
"Bizarro! Don't catch the rabbit!" Livewire exclaimed to the clone.
Using his super-speed, Bizarro quickly arrived next to the carrot eater and caught him by lifting him up in the air.
"Hey! What gives?! She told ya to not catch me, ya big doofus!" the Looney Tune exclaimed in annoyance.
"Bizarro's logic is completely backwards." The villainess explained to the cartoon character. "With him, everything he says is the opposite of what he truly means. And the best way to communicate with him is to use the same approach."
"Oh, right!" Bugs sheepishly said. "I've heard about that, but I completely forgot."
Livewire was about to shoot some lightning at the rabbit, only for Superman to arrive next to her by using his super-speed and punch her hard enough to send her crashing into a nearby chair. The superhero then snatched the carrot eater away from his clone before elbowing the latter right in the face, resulting in Bizarro being disoriented.
"Livewire, what are you and Bizarro doing here?" the Man of Steel asked the blue-haired woman while putting Bugs on the ground. "I think I was able to guess why you two are here, but some confirmation wouldn't hurt." He said while glaring at her.
"It's simple, Superchump." The villainess said while standing up. "There was this one time where I teamed up with the Parasite. If you remember correctly, it didn't end well for me. But recently, I realized that if I were to team up with someone as dumb as Bizarro, he would be easier to manipulate than my former associate. Finding your clone took me a few days. And when I found him, I used my charm to convince him to work with me so that I can make you pay for everything you've done to me." she explained, glaring at her enemy.
"Just as I thought." The Kryptonian said.
"Listen, Lady Pikachu." Bugs said to the villainess. "I think it's rather pointless for ya to do this whole thing. I'm gonna take a guess and say you've been beaten by Supes more than once before today. And ya know what? Ya will likely fail over and over again every time ya try to fight him. Sylvester has tried to eat Tweety so many times that I've lost count. Same thing with Wile E. and the Road Runner. All I'm sayin' is that you're likely doomed to fail every single time, so may as well give up now."
Livewire smirked evilly after listening to what the rabbit said.
"Very interesting, Bugsy. But there's just one problem… we're not in a Saturday morning cartoon!" she snapped at the carrot eater before shooting some lightning at him again.
Once again, the cartoon character leapt out of the way. Suddenly, he noticed Bizarro approaching and ready to help the villainess.
"Ya take care of her." The Looney Tune said to Superman while pointing at the blue-haired woman. "I'll take care of him." He added while pointing at the clone.
"Got it." The Man of Steel nodded.
The latter flew all around the place, dodging the various lightnings shot at him by Livewire, while Bugs got Bizarro's attention by whistling at the clone.
"Hey, Bizarro! Ya must be so dumb that ya don't even know how to tie shoelaces!" the rabbit exclaimed, taunting his opponent.
"Me not liking your compliment!" the clone exclaimed while making a stupid grin.
"Oh, right." The carrot eater said while slapping his forehead "It has to be backwards." He said to himself before clearing his throat. "Hey, doc! Ya must be so smart that Albert Einstein was an idiot compared to you!"
"Bizarro liking your insult!" Bizarro exclaimed while frowning at the cartoon character before flying after the latter, who immediately ran away.
The Looney Tune ran as fast as he could from one hallway to another. Eventually, he spotted the men's washroom and immediately entered it. Bizarro saw what Bugs did and entered the washroom not too long afterwards. He looked around and noticed that the four toilets there had their door closed. Despite the fact he was far from being considered to be among Superman's smartest opponents, the clone was just smart enough to realize the rabbit was probably hiding behind one of those doors. Smirking at his idea, Bizarro teared apart each door one by one (even though he could have simply gently push them to see if the carrot eater was behind them, but whatever).
When he teared apart the last door, he saw the cartoon character behind it like he expected. However, the Looney Tune was taking a shower, standing right below a nozzle, wearing a shower cap that covered his ears, and using a brush to clean himself. Suddenly, Bugs' eyes widened upon noticing Bizarro's presence, resulting in the rabbit screaming like a woman, covering his body with his hands as if like he was naked (which wasn't really the case), and slapping the clone's face.
"How dare ya! I'm expectin' some privacy here! You sir are no gentleman!" the carrot eater exclaimed in annoyance before summoning a door to replace the one that was teared apart by Bizarro.
The latter was confused by what just happened. He frowned soon afterwards before destroying the door and grabbing the cartoon character by the neck.
"Hey, look in front of ya!" the Looney Tune exclaimed.
In response to this, Bizarro looked behind him. He was confused as he saw nothing that would be worth getting his attention. The clone shrugged and then turned his attention back to the rabbit. However, he quickly realized he was no longer holding the latter, but rather a lit dynamite stick. It didn't take too long before…
BOOM!
A cloud of smoke covered the entire room. After it disappeared, it showed that Bizarro's face was covered in ashes. Meanwhile, Bugs was standing outside of the men's washroom, chuckling at what just happened.
"What a maroon!" the rabbit exclaimed in amusement to the readers while pointing at the men's washroom with his right thumb.
Suddenly, Bizarro crashed through the door, his face no longer covered in ashes. The clone was frowning at the carrot eater.
"Me liking prank from rabbit!" the former angrily exclaimed to the latter.
The cartoon character once again ran away from the clone. The former eventually entered another room and closed the door behind him. Bizarro arrived soon after and was about to open the door, only for the Looney Tune to open it and appear dressed like a hairdresser, much to the clone's surprise.
"There you are! You're late for your appointment! Come on, hurry up!" Bugs exclaimed in annoyance before pushing Bizarro into the room.
The rabbit made his opponent sit on a hairdressing chair. The clone was confused by what was going on, but decided to not question it. The carrot eater summoned a stool and stood up on it to examine Bizarro's haircut. The former stroke his chin for a moment, pondering on what to do regarding the haircut, before smiling and snapping his fingers.
"I think I've found all the inspiration necessary to give ya the most beautiful haircut ya could only imagine!" the cartoon character joyfully exclaimed before summoning a pair of scissors and a comb.
However, on his first attempt to cut Bizarro's hair, said hair ended up breaking the scissors, much to the Looney Tune's surprise.
"Hmm… Looks like we're gonna need some drastic measures." He said.
Bugs summoned a saw, but it broke as well upon touching the clone's hair. Annoyed, he then summoned a chainsaw, but it broke into several pieces. Even more annoyed, the rabbit summoned a jackhammer, but all it did was creating several holes on the floor, the walls, and the ceiling, all while making Bugs shake like if he was going through an earthquake. The carrot eater got rid of the jackhammer by turning it off, allowing him to stop shaking.
Suddenly, a light bulb appeared above the rabbit's head, indicating that he got an idea. The cartoon character left the room and came back with a gasoline container, using it to put a lot of gasoline not only on Bizarro's head, but also on the rest of his body. The Looney Tune left the room before lighting a match. He threw the match into the room, aiming at Bizarro, and immediately closed the door, which was of course followed by…
BOOM!
Bugs opened the door and saw that the clone was entirely covered in ashes. Frowning, Bizarro stood up, shook his body around to get rid of the ashes, and flew towards the rabbit. The latter got rid of his hairdresser outfit before leaving immediately, trying to escape his opponent.
Eventually, Bizarro saw the carrot eater going into a hallway and followed him there.
However, when the clone arrived in said hallway, he was rather confused as the cartoon character mysteriously vanished. He then noticed several large pictures framed on the left wall of the hallway and decided to observe each of them. The first picture featured a large bridge. The second one featured a mountain. The third one featured a boat on some ocean. The fourth one featured Bugs Bunny doing his trademark pose that consisted of him resting against a wall while holding a carrot. The fifth one featured a football stadium.
Suddenly, while observing the fifth picture, Bizarro remembered what was on the fourth one and decided to take a closer look at it. For some reason he couldn't yet grasp, there was something suspicious about that one as he stared at it. Soon enough, Bugs made his presence on the picture known by poking Bizarro right in his eyes, making the clone groan in annoyance and rub his eyes from the minor pain he received. The rabbit took this opportunity to get out of the picture before running away once more.
"Bizarro love rabbit and will cuddle him!" the clone angrily exclaimed before flying after the carrot eater.
He saw the latter going in another room and followed him there. However, upon arriving in the room, Bizarro was under a spotlight. The room itself was the set of a talk show, with Bugs dressed like a typical talk show host and sitting at the usual type of desk featured on this type of shows.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our next guest is a major celebrity!" the rabbit exclaimed to the TV cameras. "He is perhaps best known for fightin' Superman numerous times. Please welcome Bizarro!" he exclaimed while pushing on a button that play the sound of a cheering audience.
Using his hands, the carrot eater motioned Bizarro to sit on the chair next to the desk. Confused, the clone decided to not question it and sat on the chair.
"So, Mr. Bizarro, could ya please not tell us how ya were born?" the Looney Tune asked him.
"No. Bizarro not created by bald man to fight Superman. Me am not a clone of Superman that got worse overtime." The clone replied.
"Not interesting at all!" the cartoon character cheerfully exclaimed. "Well, we don't have a surprise for ya! It's not the man responsible for your existence. It's not at all the one and only Lex Luthor!" he exclaimed while pushing on a button that raised a curtain.
Behind the curtain himself was none other than Bugs himself, who quickly changed from his talk show host outfit to wearing a business suit and a bald cap that covered his ears. Luckily, Bizarro was dumb enough to mistake the rabbit for the real Luthor.
"Daddy!" the clone exclaimed as he stood up and arrived next to the carrot eater.
"Son, I'm not disappointed at all by your behavior!" Bugs angrily exclaimed to Bizarro. "Ya should be rewarded for what you've done! From here on out, you are allowed to continue fightin' Superman and any of his friends!"
The clone looked rather disappointed by what he just heard.
"But…"
"Do try to change my mind! My decision is not final!" the rabbit exclaimed in an authoritative manner.
Suddenly, Bizarro grabbed the carrot eater and shook him around.
"Bizarro will be a bad boy, daddy! Me am not going to do everything daddy says!" the clone exclaimed in a pleading tone.
However, he shook the cartoon character so much that the bald cap fell off his head, revealing his long ears. Upon seeing that, Bizarro glared at the Looney Tune, who was smiling nervously at his opponent.
"Eh, what's down, doc?" Bugs nervously asked.
"You are bald man! You are not rabbit!" the clone angrily exclaimed.
"Well, it was worth a try." The rabbit said before freeing himself from Bizarro's hands and leaving the room, leaving his business suit behind in the process.
Once again, the carrot eater was being chased by the clone and forced to run away.
"Say, now would be a good time to see what Supes is doin' with that electrifyin' lady." He said to the readers.
Meanwhile, Livewire kept shooting lightnings at her nemesis, who tried his best to dodge them by using his super-speed. Superman then tried to punch her while still using his super-speed, but she turned into electricity and took this opportunity to go inside a TV screen from a nearby wall that was covered by numerous TV screens. Soon enough, the villainess appeared on all the TV screens at once.
"Our top story tonight: It turns out the Man of Steel is faster than a speeding bullet, but not faster than lightning. HA!" she said in a mocking tone.
"If you came here just to tell silly jokes, I'm not in the mood for that." The Kryptonian said, glaring at her.
"Well, I hope you'll be in the mood for what I'm planning to do next. Otherwise, you'll wish I kept making jokes instead!" Livewire exclaimed with an evil grin.
Suddenly, several lightnings went through all the TV screens, breaking them and going towards the Man of Tomorrow. The latter was unfortunately not fast enough to dodge them all, screaming in pain upon getting hit by them. Soon after, Livewire appeared right next to the superhero and charged some electricity into her right fist before punching him. Superman crashed into a nearby TV set, accidentally destroying some TV equipment in the process. He groaned in pain from what just happened. Before the Man of Steel could stand up, his nemesis kept shooting some powerful electricity at him, keeping him down.
"I'm so tempted to make some puns related to electricity here, but they all have become too corny!" she exclaimed in amusement while inflicting more pain to her opponent.
All of sudden, a drink can was thrown at her head. It wasn't painful to Livewire, but it annoyed her and made her lose her concentration. Frowning, she turned towards her left and noticed the presence of Lombard and Cat. Judging by Lombard's pose, the villainess could tell he was the one who threw the can at her. When Superman was busy fighting Livewire, most of the Daily Planet staff members decided to go down the stairs given that the elevators were broken. Lombard and Cat were about to go down the stairs as well until they saw the Man of Steel having some trouble with the blue-haired lady. They hesitated for a few seconds over whether or not they should help him, given that they had no idea they would be able to help him against her in the first place, until the sportswriter noticed the can on a nearby table and instinctively threw it at the villainess.
"Ah! Got it on my first try!" Lombard proudly exclaimed while rising his fists in the air.
"Really? Throwing a can at her? That was the best idea you could think of?" Cat asked him in disbelief.
"Oh yeah, as if like YOU had a better idea. Oh right, you had none!" he snapped while crossing his arms, causing the blond-haired woman to roll her eyes and rub her forehead in annoyance.
"You have some nerves to attack me." Livewire said to Lombard, frowning at him. "In such a pathetic way for that matter. You don't seem to have any superpowers, so what makes you think you stand a chance against me, you doofus?"
"Well, I'd like to bring up that I never said I stood a chance against you." The brown-haired man said, nervously shrugging.
"That's one thing we can both agree on." The villainess said, smirking evilly while aiming her hand towards both Lombard and Cat.
However, before she could shoot lightnings at the two of them, Superman grabbed her wrist and punched her in the stomach, sending Livewire crashing through a nearby wall. He then turned around to look at his alter-ego's coworkers.
"Thanks for distracting her. But you two should leave immediately." The Man of Steel said to them.
Lombard and Cat both nodded before making their way towards the nearest staircase. The superhero turned his head towards the wall where his opponent crashed through. The latter appeared from the hole in the wall, glaring at her nemesis.
"Alright. You had your fun? Good. My turn now!" she exclaimed before creating whips made out of electricity.
Livewire kept swinging the whips at Superman, who kept dodging them by using his super-speed. After a while, the whips were able to hit him, making him scream in pain for several seconds while the villainess had a huge evil grin on her face. Suddenly, the Kryptonian noticed that there was a water cooler not too far from where the blue-haired woman was. Aware that water was one of her weaknesses, he got an idea and proceeded to shoot lasers from his eyes towards the big bottle that was on top of the water cooler. The superhero managed to create a big hole in it, causing the water to make its way towards the floor. Livewire realized what Superman was doing and stopped using her whips before turning into electricity and quickly going to some part of the room where the floor wouldn't be covered in water. The Man of Steel groaned in pain from all that electricity he just got hurt with.
"Nice try, big guy, but there is no way I'll lose this fight because of some water cooler of all things!" she exclaimed in annoyance. "That would be WAY too humiliating!"
Frowning, the Kryptonian quickly flew towards her. However, Livewire used her speed to dodge his attack, causing her opponent to crash through the wall behind her. Meanwhile, Jimmy was hiding behind some table reversed on its side and taking some pictures of the fight. Suddenly, he noticed Lois arriving on his right side.
"I think you took enough pictures, Jimmy. Let's get out of here." She whispered to him.
The photographer nodded before following her to the nearest staircase, doing so as discreetly as possible. Lois and Jimmy went through the door and were about to go downstairs only for Livewire to turn into electricity, making her way towards the staircase, and materializing herself just a few steps below them, blocking the way that would go down the stairs. Both Lois and Jimmy widen their eyes at seeing her this close to them.
"Going somewhere, you two?" the villainess rhetorically asked them.
Realizing she would have to run, Lois quickly ditched her high-heeled shoes given how hard it is to run fast in this type of shoes, leaving herself barefoot. She grabbed Jimmy by the hand and ran upstairs. Livewire was about to go after them only to be tackled to the wall behind her by Superman, leaving some dent on the wall. The villainess then snarled at the latter, who was firmly holding her hands against parts of the wall that were still intact.
"You know what, Livewire? I really would prefer to see you use your powers to help people instead of harming them." The Man of Steel sternly told her.
"Oh great! That's exactly what I wanted to hear!" She sarcastically said while rolling her eyes. "The hero trying to convince the villain to use their powers for good. I've heard the same old speech more than once before! In fact, I think you already made a similar speech to me in the past. Or was it one of your colleagues who tried that?" she wondered out loud before shaking her head. "Eh, who cares? All I'm saying here is that you're wasting your time with that kind of speech on me, you big dolt!"
"If you didn't have this kind of behavior, you wouldn't be wasting your time in prison." The Kryptonian pointed out to her.
"Sorry, but your arguments just aren't working on me. And I know one pretty big place where you can shove them all up." Livewire said while grinning evilly.
She turned into electricity, freeing herself from the superhero's hold. The villainess went past him and proceeded to go up the stairs. Her nemesis immediately flew after her.
Meanwhile, Lois and Jimmy managed to reach the top of the staircase. The black-haired woman opened the exit door and went through it, with the photographer doing the same thing soon after. After closing the door, the two of them were now standing not too far away from the humongous globe atop the Daily Planet building.
"I don't think it was such a good idea to come here." Jimmy said, worried. "I mean, what if Livewire gets here and somehow prevents us from using the stairs? We're gonna be stuck here with her!"
"Jimmy, we've been through worse situations before, so I think there's a chance we'll make it through." Lois replied to him. "With that said, you do bring up a point and we need to find some way to stop her in case Superman is unable to do it himself." She said while stroking her chin, closing her eyes, and trying to think of a solution to their problem.
"Well, I know that water is one of her weaknesses. The problem is that I don't think there are any fire hose anywhere on the top of this building." The photographer said.
"I was thinking the same thing." The reporter said while opening her eyes and no longer stroking her chin. "The only way we could get water would be if Bugs was present and used his ability to summon anything to get us something filled with water. However, he's probably too busy dealing with Bizarro for the time being."
Suddenly, the ground they were standing on started shaking as something bursts through it, leaving a hole on the ground. It was Bizarro, who was flying in the air while Bugs was sitting on the back of the clone's neck and holding a cowboy hat as if like he was riding a horse.
"Hi-yo, Bizarro! Away!" the rabbit exclaimed.
"Rabbit not making fun of Bizarro! Bizarro like that!" the clone exclaimed.
The latter grabbed the carrot eater and threw him into the air. Immediately, the Looney Tune summoned a parachute, put it on his back, and pulled on the ripcord, deploying the parachute. He landed safely on the top of the Daily Planet building before summoning a large pair of scissors. The cartoon character used it to cut the ropes that connected the parachute to the deployment bag. Because of the wind, the parachute ended up in the air and covered Bizarro's body, making him blind as a result and disorienting him.
"That should keep him busy for a moment." Bugs said.
"Bugs!" Lois exclaimed.
The rabbit turned around and saw the reporter and Jimmy arriving right next to him.
"We need some water given that it's one of Livewire's weaknesses." She said to the carrot eater.
"Give me a second." The latter nodded before putting his hand in his hidden pocket.
It didn't take long before he summoned a fire hydrant and a fire hose connected to it. The Looney Tune put the fire hydrant on the floor and handed the fire hose to the black-haired woman.
"I think that should get the job done." The cartoon character said.
"No doubt about it." Lois said, smirking.
She aimed the fire hose at the door, waiting for Livewire to appear. A few seconds later, the villainess opened the door and arrived outside. Still smirking, the reporter activated the fire hose. However, much to her confusion, nothing was happening. Lois looked at the inside of the nozzle, wondering why it wasn't working. Both Jimmy and Bugs were confused. That was until the former noticed that the latter was accidentally stepping on the fire hose, causing the latter to inflate due to the water inside of it. The photographer immediately pushed the rabbit out of the way. Unfortunately, this resulted in the hose spraying Lois' face, much to her shock. It didn't take long before her entire body was wet as well. She turned off the hose and looked at her entirely wet body in annoyance. The reporter turned her head around and glared at both the carrot eater and the photographer. The latter immediately pointed at the cartoon character, who smiled in embarrassment.
"Hum… Sorry about that." The carrot eater nervously said.
Suddenly, they heard Livewire bursting into laughter. The latter had a hard time remaining serious after seeing what just happened to Lois.
"Oh, man! That's just priceless!" the villainess exclaimed while still laughing.
Soon enough, she calmed herself down and was about to shoot lightnings at the two Daily Planet employees and the rabbit with her right hand. However, before she could do that, Superman arrived, grabbed her right hand, and punched her in the face, making her trip and land face first on the floor. Bugs took this opportunity to summon a giant hair dryer and proceeded to dry Lois' entire body with it. Doing so resulted in the reporter having flapping cheeks for a moment. After she became completely dried, the rabbit put the hair dryer back in his hidden pocket.
"Thanks for fixing your mistake." Lois said to the rabbit, while still sounding a bit angry for his mistake.
She was about to activate the fire hose again. However, Bizarro, who was still blinded by the parachute, crash landed into the fire hydrant, destroying it in the process.
"OH, COME ON!" the black-haired woman exclaimed in annoyance.
The clone removed the parachute from his body and made a stupid grin.
"Me am still covered by parachute! Me am not happy about it!" Bizarro exclaimed.
"Hey, big guy!" Livewire exclaimed to the clone. "Superman is not attacking me! Don't do anything about it!"
"Bizarro not helping electric lady!" the clone exclaimed before flying towards Superman.
The Man of Steel and his clone proceeded to punch each other repeatedly. Their fight continued all while they were flying in the air, making them leave the Daily Planet and going somewhere else in Metropolis. While this was happening, Livewire grinned evilly at Bugs, Lois, and Jimmy. The latter three could tell she was about to attack them any moment now. The rabbit tried to summon something with water in it from his hidden pocket. Unfortunately, right before he could summon anything, Livewire shot some lightnings at him, electrocuting him in the process. The shock was so powerful that it resulted in the carrot eater being thrown at Jimmy with so much impact, with the photographer being thrown over the edge of the building soon after. The young man grabbed the edge with his hands, trying his best not to panic while hanging on for dear life.
"JIMMY!" both Bugs and Lois shouted in panic.
The rabbit immediately ran up to Jimmy and grabbed the latter's hands to bring him to safety. However, Livewire shot one more lightning at the cartoon character, resulting in the latter accidentally dropping the photographer to his doom.
"NO!" both the Looney Tune and the black-haired woman yelled in shock.
Bugs was about to summon a fishing rod to save Jimmy. Suddenly, a blue and red blur flew by, caught the photographer at super-speed, and arrived next to one of the buildings that were on the other side of the street. Both the rabbit and Lois sighed in relief.
"Good thing Supes was there to catch him." The carrot eater said, smiling.
"Hum, Bugs? You need to eat more carrots to improve your eyesight." The reporter said to him while pointing at whoever managed to rescue Jimmy.
The Looney Tune looked at the black-haired woman in confusion before looking at the person she was pointing at. As it turns out, it wasn't Superman. Rather, it was a young woman with long blond hair. Her outfit was nearly identical to Superman's. The main difference was that the blue pants and the red briefs were replaced by a red skirt. The cartoon character smirked as he recognized her.
"Supergirl!" Bugs exclaimed.
At the same time, Supergirl safely brought Jimmy to the other building.
"Hi, Jimmy! Long time no see!" she cheerfully said to the photographer.
"Hum… Hi, Kara!" The latter said, surprised and yet glad to see her.
"Do you think you can take pictures of what's happening at the Daily Planet from this distance?" the superheroine asked him. "I want to be sure you're safe, but I don't want to prevent you from doing your job."
"Sure. My camera could take pictures from stuff happening in the nearest state. Although I might be exaggerating a tiny bit here." He replied while taking his camera from his pocket.
"Good." Supergirl said, smiling at him. She then kissed him on his left cheek, making his eyes widen in surprise. "Now watch me kick their butts!" she exclaimed while winking at Jimmy before flying towards the Daily Planet.
The photographer stood there, staring at her for a moment as a result of that kiss. He then made a dopey smile while bringing his camera to his face and getting ready to take pictures.
Numerous minutes ago…
In a forest located outside of Metropolis, a couple was having a peaceful picnic, eating on a table while listening to some music on the radio. The couple consisted of a woman and a man. The former had medium-sized red hair and green eyes. She was wearing a green long-sleeved shirt, a yellow skirt, and black Mary Jane shoes. The man had medium-sized blond hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a brown short-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and brown shoes. The woman was Lana Lang while the man was her husband, Pete Ross. However, they were not alone, as they brought along their baby son. The latter's name was Clark Ross, named after his parents' childhood friend Clark Kent. At this moment, Lana and Pete were eating some sandwiches, while their son was taking a nap on a baby seat.
"This was a good idea you had, Honey." Pete said to Lana while smiling at her. "I needed that after several days of hard work at my job."
"I'm glad you think so, Pete." She said, smiling back.
"It feels so nice to be here with you, our son…" he began to say before arching an eyebrow upon noticing the presence of someone behind his wife. "Hum… Lana, could you turn around and assure me I'm not having any kind of hallucination right now?"
"What?" Lana said in confusion. "What are you talking ab… Oh." She said upon turning around and widening her eyes at what she saw.
What the couple saw was a man. But not just any man. He was also a cartoon character. To be more specific, he was about half the size of an average human being and also bald. He was wearing a brown and red hunter hat, a brown long-sleeved shirt, brown pants, and dark brown shoes, while also carrying a double-barreled shotgun. His name is Elmer Fudd, another Looney Tune and arguably Bugs Bunny's most recurring antagonist. At this moment, the hunter was slowly walking, one step after another, before noticing the presence of the couple and their baby.
"Shhh!" Elmer said to them while putting a finger in front of his mouth. "Be vewy, vewy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits. Huhuhuhuhuhuh!" he said before resuming his hunt.
Lana and Pete were both speechless at what they were seeing. They had been aware of the sudden existence of the Looney Tunes in this world, but it was still so surreal to them to see one of these cartoon characters right in front of their eyes.
"We interrupt this program for some important news." An announcer was heard saying at the radio, interrupting the music that was playing. "The Daily Planet is under attack. According to some sources, it appears that Bizarro, Superman's degenerate clone, has crashed into the Daily Planet's building. He seems to have interrupted Lois Lane's rather important interview with Bugs Bunny…"
"Wait a second!" the hunter exclaimed as he stopped in his tracks upon hearing what the radio announcer just said.
The bald guy grinned at what he just heard before looking to his left and whistling with his fingers.
"Taxi!" he exclaimed.
Suddenly, a taxi appeared from out of nowhere, much to Lana and Pete's shock.
"To the Daiwy Pwanet, pwease!" Elmer said to the taxi driver while sitting on the passenger seat.
It didn't take too long before the taxi left, bringing the hunter out of the forest.
"I... I bet Clark Kent will have some really interesting stories to tell us the next time we meet him." Lana said, still taken aback by what just happened.
"You said it." Pete said in agreement.
End of chapter.
Supergirl has arrived to help her cousin and Bugs. And there's a certain bald hunter on his way to Metropolis. What will happen next time? Just wait and see.
I've already written a good chunk of the next chapter as of the time I'm writing this. Not sure when it'll be uploaded, but you won't have to wait for as long as you did with this chapter.
