Batman

Pamela looked at Kino with teary eyes, seeing that his body had completely turned green, bearing some resemblance to her own appearance.

"Kino, are you okay?"

Pamela wiped away her tears haphazardly.

"I'm fine. I have a Special Ability that can copy other people's Superpowers. I copied yours yesterday when I touched you."

As he spoke, he controlled the Vines on the table and waved them over. Pamela stopped crying and smiled, summoning a Vine of her own. The two Vines intertwined.

She quietly gazed at Kino, a complex emotion stirring deep within her heart.

She also found a sense of belonging with Kino, no longer feeling alone. It was as if she had found someone similar to herself, a feeling that both excited and reassured her.

"Kino, can I try it one more time?" she asked softly, a hint of anticipation in her voice.

Kino smiled and nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Pamela walked over with light steps, sat on Kino's lap, and then gently kissed him.

Kino was slightly startled at first, but soon became immersed in the sweet kiss, holding her tightly.

After her mutation, Pamela exuded a sweet fragrance, like nectar, that was intoxicating.

Finally, the two slowly parted.

"Kino, how old are you?"

"Just turned 18, why?"

"That's perfect, you're an adult. Be my boyfriend!"

"Okay."

After finishing breakfast, the two left the hotel.

Walking down the street, Pamela no longer tried to hide herself. She openly displayed her green skin.

"Pamela, do we really have to walk like this?"

At this moment, Pamela hugged Kino's arm, her ample chest pressing against him.

"What's wrong, my dear? Is this uncomfortable?"

Pamela leaned close to Kino's body with a puzzled look, surrounded by a faint, plant-like fragrance.

"No, it's quite comfortable, actually. I'm just a little shy out in public."

"That's good."

Pamela hugged his arm even tighter.

After finally finding a man she could touch, she wouldn't let him go so easily.

Kino let Pamela hold his arm as they walked down the streets of Gotham, drawing many sideways glances. Some people looked surprised, while others showed disgust, but Pamela paid no mind.

Kino was a little confused. Since waking up, Venom hadn't said a word. He called out in his mind.

Venom, Venom, Venom...

[Are you annoying or what? What do you want? Go enjoy yourself with your girlfriend.]

That's great, you're still here.

[What does it have to do with you whether I'm here or not.]

Because you're inside me, I feel safe. After all, Venom, you know everything about me.

[...] You see me as human?

Yes.

[Then introduce me to Pamela.]

"Pamela, come here for a moment."

Kino found a small alley and led Pamela over.

Even in the daytime, Gotham's alleys felt dark and damp.

Pamela looked at the gloomy alley, her face flushing slightly.

"My dear, let's go back!"

"Pamela, I just want to introduce you to a friend."

Seeing Pamela's expression, Kino knew she had misunderstood.

"Oh, oh, where is your friend?"

Pamela awkwardly ran a hand through her hair.

"Venom, come out... Venom?"

He called out, but there was no movement from Venom inside him. He called out again.

[Let's skip it this time. Maybe next time.]

"..."

"Is your friend's name Venom?"

Kino smiled awkwardly at Pamela's confused look. "Venom is a bit shy. I'll introduce you next time."

"Pfft..."

Pamela grabbed Kino, who was about to leave.

She thought he wanted to do something bad but was chickening out after coming in. After all, he was just a young adult, and it was normal for him to get worked up after she'd teased him so much first thing in the morning.

"I didn't say no."

Pamela pulled Kino deeper into the alley. Her little boyfriend was shy, so as his girlfriend, she had to take the initiative.

Half an hour later

The two walked out of the alley.

Kino felt refreshed, practically floating as he walked.

She was still his favorite older woman.

Pamela let out a satisfied burp. She hadn't expected her young boyfriend, who looked so gentle, to be a bit rough in reality.

But seeing Kino's gleeful expression made her happy. It seemed she had satisfied him greatly.

Pamela's lips curved upwards as she hugged Kino's arm tightly.

"My dear, where are you going next?"

"To find Superman."

"But isn't Superman dead?"

"Even a dead one will do. Did you forget my Special Ability?" Kino chuckled.

"Ah! You can copy Superman's powers too?" Pamela shrieked excitedly.

"Yes."

Hearing Kino's answer, Pamela felt a heat spread through her body. Women are attracted to strength. The thought of her boyfriend soon possessing the might of a Deity made her want to pull him back into the alley.

But she quickly calmed down. The main task was important.

"But the news never reported Superman's whereabouts."

"It's fine. Someone knows."

"Who?"

"Batman."

Wayne Manor

Gotham City, in the Wayne Family's suburban estate.

"Hello, Batman, Bruce Wayne."

Bruce Wayne sat quietly on the sofa, looking at the man and woman who had arrived uninvited.

The loyal old Butler brought coffee with the appropriate sugar and milk, serving it to the two sitting opposite each other.

"Thank you," Kino said politely.

The old Butler bowed slightly and stood behind Bruce.

"State your purpose for coming here?"

Bruce's eyes were filled with apprehension. Looking at the surroundings, he could see that the entire room was covered in Vines, coiling around him like poisonous snakes.

Pamela was a little surprised. Gotham's Dark Knight was actually the Wayne Enterprises playboy.

Kino focused intently on adding sugar to his coffee.

"I want Superman's corpse."

"Why are you so sure that Superman's corpse is with me?"

Bruce retorted. The last person who got a Kryptonian's body created Doomsday and nearly destroyed this world.

If another one was created, there wouldn't be a Superman sacrificing himself this time.

"Because you're Batman. You wouldn't hand over something that could harm the world to others... Next time, just use sleeping pills. I can't get used to the coffee."

Kino took a sip of coffee and complained.
