Ra's al Ghul, who tried to escape by helicopter, was apprehended and thrown into Wayne Manor in Gotham. How to deal with his father-in-law was Bruce's problem.
David and Clark hurried back to the town hospital.
Even with the Dionysus Factor, there was no need to rush even if his father Jonathan died, but how could he let his mother face unbearable grief!
"Mom, we're back."
The hospital room door opened, and the clock on the wall pointed to twelve noon. David and Clark, who had rushed back, entered the room.
Clark glanced outside alertly, then locked the door from the inside and drew the curtains.
The bizarre scene that followed might not be suitable for ordinary people to witness.
"Is this the spring water that can detoxify Father?"
Martha, her eyes red-rimmed, stood up from beside the hospital bed, looking hopefully at the stone test tube in David's hand.
"Pretty much, Mom."
David looked at his unconscious father, Jonathan, on the hospital bed.
"Dad will wake up soon, as strong and healthy as ever, as if nothing ever happened."
He glanced at Kara. David didn't turn her away. He walked to Jonathan's side with the test tube, touched his father's forehead, which had a persistent fever, and poured the test tube out.
The deep green liquid metal dripped onto Jonathan's unconscious forehead.
David stopped halfway, leaving some for his mother. He planned to see the effect first, and if it didn't work, he could pour the rest then.
The emerald green, which shimmered with metallic luster, seeped into Jonathan's skin and flesh like spring water soaking into the soil, entering his body.
Kara's mouth was slightly agape at the miraculous sight before her.
This might truly be the holy water that could grant eternal youth and bring the dead back to life.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... More than ten quiet seconds passed.
Everyone in the room held their breath, not daring to exhale.
"Ugh!"
Jonathan gasped violently, as if surfacing from suffocating waters, or as if waking from a nightmare. He opened his eyes and sat up abruptly, a hint of fear in his gaze.
The heart rate monitor in the room beeped rhythmically, and the smell of disinfectant entered his nostrils.
His wife and two sons, their faces filled with anticipation, gathered around him, along with an unfamiliar young girl.
"Hiss... Where am I?"
He rubbed his dazed head, as if he had slept for a very long time.
"Jonathan, do you feel anything unusual?"
His wife Martha, tears of joy streaming down her face, asked with concern.
"Unusual?"
Facing the concerned gazes of his two sons, he moved his arms, his expression puzzled.
"It is a little unusual."
Could the poison still be lingering, or was the dosage of the Dionysus Factor insufficient?
David prepared to take out the remaining portion of the Dionysus Factor.
"Ever since I turned thirty, my body has never felt this young and strong. I feel like I could apply for a cowboy job at Old Burn's ranch right now."
Jonathan felt an inexhaustible surge of energy within him, he said to his family.
"You scared me to death, Jonathan."
His mother Martha's heart, which had just relaxed, was startled again. She patted her husband with a hint of reproach.
"That's great."
His father was awake. Clark was overjoyed and excitedly patted his brother's shoulder.
"Mom, please take Dad for a check-up later."
David secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on his face, but still added with concern.
As for the reason for the patient's sudden recovery from poisoning, they could say that the antidote formula was hidden in a native tribe.
As for the Dionysus Factor, it would be impossible to detect with normal technological means.
"Yes, David is right."
Mother Martha agreed.
Jonathan remembered what happened before he fainted. Seeing his family's expressions, he fell into thought.
Something extraordinary seemed to have happened while he was unconscious. He looked at Kara in the room with a hint of confusion.
"Right, who is this child?"
He looked at his two sons and asked.
It looked like the three were around the same age and might have known each other.
...
After a detailed physical examination, Father Jonathan's body was as healthy as could be, comparable to a robust man in his early thirties.
A surprised doctor heard there was an herbal remedy for detoxification and wanted to study it.
But David brushed it off, using the excuse of tribal regulations forbidding outside disclosure.
Jonathan and Martha tidied up and were discharged from the hospital that day, preparing for the evening banquet. Kara had been busy helping them, and to express their gratitude, the couple invited her to their home for dinner.
Seeing an opportunity to get closer to Nama's parents, Kara readily agreed and left.
David and Clark were in front of another hospital room in the small town, looking through the transparent glass. The middle-aged man, who had suddenly experienced a drop in heart rate, was being resuscitated by doctors. The defibrillator couldn't save his erratic heart, which was gradually ceasing to function.
"David..."
As a life was about to be lost before his eyes, Clark hesitated and spoke.
"Don't even think about it!"
As soon as Clark opened his mouth, David knew what he was going to say and refused outright.
"The remaining spring water metal is for Mom."
"I..."
While Kara was investigating the reappearance of the Devil Flower, which had been extinct for hundreds of years, she also looked into the identity of the man involved in the car accident. A series of reasons made it easy to guess.
"He was ostracized by the mainstream scientific community for publishing papers that were as bold as mad ravings.
He wanted to regain his honor through research and effort.
It's an inspirational story."
David looked at the person on the hospital bed, his gaze cold.
"But you shouldn't have involved my family."
Not only was this guy a stranger to him and not worth a drop of the Dionysus Factor, but he was also the real culprit who almost brought disaster upon their family.
"I won't lay a hand on him, but I won't save him either."
Hearing David's words, Clark felt helpless.
As if he needed to lay a hand on him; the man was clearly not going to survive.
"What a shame, a talented genius dies right here."
A voice echoed as Lex Luthor, dressed in an expensive suit, slowly walked up behind them. He stopped and looked at the person in the hospital room who had not been successfully resuscitated, shaking his head.
"Lex, what are you doing here?"
Clark was surprised.
"I never knew this town hid such a genius."
Luthor said.
"I wanted to visit today, but I missed him."
Looking at the person behind the glass bed, who had been declared dead by the doctor, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
After having his people investigate the various strange occurrences in the town, he unexpectedly discovered that a once-renowned figure in the scientific community was living in the town.
Regarding the effect of meteorites on gene evolution and mutation, this paper coincided with his own speculation – that meteorites were the origin of all the strangeness in the town.
"3:46 PM, patient pronounced dead after unsuccessful resuscitation."
After declaring the patient dead, the doctor left the room.
"Being a step ahead is genius, but ten steps ahead makes you a madman, Dr. Hamilton."
As a nurse covered the body declared physiologically dead with a white sheet, Luthor lowered his head, as if mourning the person in the room.
"You really admire Dr. Hamilton's research?"
David turned his gaze, suspecting that Luthor's purpose for coming wasn't just a simple visit.
In fact, Hamilton was somewhat famous in the town. Although many people hadn't met him or knew his name, many had heard that a peculiar scientist lived reclusively in a trailer in the woods, studying meteorites.
Luthor countered.
"You grew up in this town, haven't you noticed the strange things that have gradually appeared since the meteorite shower?"
