233. The Secret of Black Canary.
At this mont, superheroes from two different universes and mbers of two powerful organizations finally held an epic eting. Although neither side was at their peak and both were in dire situations, and the location of their first eting was surprisingly in a bar controlled by villains, no one cared about these details. For those present, this mont was joyful and worthy of celebration.
In Hawkeye's eyes, this marked the beginning of the reckoning against the criminals. With so many allies from other worlds, toppling the dirty regi of the villains was only a matter of ti.
In Black Canary's eyes, these surviving, never-yielding hero veterans were her greatest help in saving Red Hood and returning to her own world.
After experiencing so much in this world, Dinah deeply understood how terrifying the evil in human nature could be. If she couldn't trust these heroes who had fought for so long, she truly wouldn't know who else in this world was worth trusting.
"This is my daughter, Ashley Barton. Don't be fooled by her young age; she's the heir to Spider-Man. She has the strength to move a truck."
As Barton introduced her, Ashley silently nodded in acknowledgnt, which was her way of greeting. She had been watching this woman closely since Dinah had entered the room, her spider-sense tingling. Though, it had now cald down.
"Hello, Ashley." Dinah extended her hand to the cold-faced girl, doing her best to show goodwill, though Ashley didn't react at all.
To avoid further awkwardness for Dinah, Venom decided to make its presence known. It stretched out its sticky, strange, and sowhat disgusting form and 'shook hands' with Dinah, then flashed a grin that could terrify children.
"Hello, Ms. Dinah, I'm Venom. Nice to et you."
"Uh..." Dinah instinctively froze. "And you are?"
"An alien parasite. Not the sharpest tool in the shed. It used to be against us, but it's begrudgingly on our side now. Hope you're not too disgusted by its appearance," Barton said, clearly annoyed whenever Venom was brought up.
"Not at all. I've seen weirder things." Dinah smiled, then turned her gaze to the others.
"I'm lissa, code na Mockingbird. Forr Thunderbolts... traitor."
lissa's expression showed how complicated her feelings were about her past actions. Even though Baron Zemo was dead, she was still haunted by guilt, and it seed like she'd never escape the nightmares.
Sensing that lissa didn't want to dwell on her past, Pietro quickly chid in. "I'm Pietro Maximoff. Just call Pietro, code na Quicksilver."
"Hello, Pietro."
After getting to know everyone, Dinah finally turned her attention to the black-haired woman in front of her. "I don't know your na yet."
"Kara Zor-El, Supergirl."
"...What?" Dinah's smile faltered.
In that brief mont, she even wondered if she had misheard.
In her mind, it was impossible for anything from her universe to exist in this world, let alone aliens connected to her universe.
"What did you say your na was?" Dinah couldn't help but ask again.
Black Canary's reaction wasn't surprising to Kara. After seeing Pietro experience being recognized by people from other universes several tis, Kara was now getting her first taste of it.
"You didn't mishear. I'm Kara Zor-El, from Krypton, and my code na is Supergirl."
Kara smiled and tugged at her collar, revealing the tight suit beneath. From Dinah's higher vantage point, she could easily see the 'S' emblem on Kara's chest.
"The man you're thinking of, Superman from the Justice League, Kal-El, is my cousin."
"You're saying Clark is your... wait, how are you here!?"
Dinah's eyes widened in disbelief as she examined Kara closely. Now that she looked, Kara did indeed bear so resemblance to Superman.
"That's great. With you here, our chances just went up! Did you know? Your cousin is also in this universe. If we can just find him, we can—"
"Sorry to disappoint you..." Kara interrupted, deciding it was ti to co clean with everyone now that Dinah was present. After all, this was also Alex's plan.
"Actually, there's no real 'Justice League.' Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman? We've been impersonating them. The videos that HYDRA and Red Skull spread were knock-offs we created using magic."
"What!?"
Before Dinah could react to the revelation, Barton seed unable to process it. He looked at Kara in surprise, clearly struggling to wrap his mind around it, and then turned to his daughter.
"I thought you knew," Ashley muttered, crossing her arms.
"At the ti, we had just taken down Green Goblin's criminal alliance in Osborne City. The chaos was so great we couldn't contain it. So, Alex ca up with this idea: create a fake group of superheroes from another universe to divert Red Skull and the others' attention."
Kara tilted her head, continuing to explain. "Actually, this was also a way to lure out real people from other universes like you. When we found Batman's Batarang, we suspected there were others like you here."
"So, this is what Alex ant by 'handled'..." Barton thought for a mont and quickly understood what had happened.
It made sense. Alex had personally admitted that Green Goblin and his gang had been dealt with. There was no way a real Justice League would suddenly appear out of nowhere. Unlike Barton, Dinah remained calm throughout Kara's explanation. She simply listened, her expression showing no clear emotion.
"You don't seem very surprised by this?" Ashley asked curiously, noticing Dinah's lack of reaction.
At Ashley's question, everyone turned their attention to Black Canary. Feeling the collective scrutiny, Dinah instinctively trembled. She slowly closed her eyes, sighed, and nodded, admitting the truth.
"Yes, I'm not surprised. When I first saw the news about the Justice League on TV, I never truly believed they existed."
"Was it because our impersonation wasn't good enough?" Pietro asked.
"No."
Dinah shook her head and then revealed the truth.
"It's because, in my universe, they should all already be dead.
What's here are either fakes or not the sa people I once knew."
