【yeah! ] Raman was also very proud, but he recalled Iron Man's high-spirited appearance and couldn't help but wonder: [But, by the way, it seems that he looks very dramatic, does he really not appear in any comics? 】
MP nodded. It is extremely certain.
Raman pondered again: [But, in other Superman templates, he sometimes becomes a super villain. 】
[——A character who is a super villain in other universes does not appear at all in DC comics, is it true? 】
MP tilted its head in distress, its fur falling off the ground.
…
There is no natural light in the closed room, only artificial light sources palely illuminate this narrow space.
A toilet, a bed, a table.
The few pieces of furniture crammed into this small space look so depressing that anyone living here would go crazy.
Lex Luthor was lying on the wooden bed. The hard bed made his back hurt, and a centimeter of slightly sprouted hair made Luthor's scalp itchy.
He forced his hands to the bed board, deliberately enduring the endless torture.
There was no loudspeaker in the closed room, but a voice suddenly came out and said coldly:
"I really don't understand why you stay here, Luther."
"You have obviously reached a cooperation with me to control superhuman beings for the government, but why do you insist on living in a place like this?"
"Do you have a habit of self-torture? I've never heard of it."
Lex Luthor closed his eyes and said, "Ms. Waller, shut your mouth. You don't need to comment on my affairs."
The voice seemed to be irritated: "Luthor! The government has met almost every condition for you, and even helped you clean up the situation - your engineer was involved in a case and wanted to confess you and reduce your sentence - but you insist on staying here. here!"
"Do you know how much damage has been caused? Just because you are unwilling to go out and work for us, and you only plan to stay here and provide remote guidance!"
Lex Luthor thought to himself, you asked for it.
He charitably said something perfunctory: "Superman might be watching us."
The voice paused, and a rustling sound came out, like murmurs of fear.
After a long time, she became furious and said: "Luthor! Superman is in Hawaii now to save stranded whales. What nonsense are you talking about!?"
"Who knows? Maybe Superman glanced at you secretly?"
Amanda Waller didn't believe Luther's lies. Her voice was gloomy: "Luther, the government can't tolerate you continuing like this. You'd better get out of your lead prison as soon as possible."
"Or you have to give a reason!"
Lex Luthor: "I am M, and I feel happy here."
Amanda Waller was stunned.
There was only a splashing noise over there, as if someone was talking about protecting Luther's legal rights and so on. The noisy argument lasted for a while before Ms. Waller had a chance to speak.
"That's enough, Luther! No need to fool people!"
"I'll give you three more days to think about it. After three days, you must vacate this small house and work for us!"
Ms. Waller said emphatically: "Don't indulge in your paranoia about Superman. Superman's powers are dangerous, we all know that. But Superman has proven to us that he is friendly."
"Isn't it enough that he could have ruled the world when he first appeared, but he didn't?"
"Superman is a guy who could even be considered a saint, which is both good and bad for us."
"Stop your assumptions, Lex Luthor."
How could it be imagination?
Lex Luthor thought.
Could it be that everything he saw was fake?
When Lex Luthor was serving his sentence, he faced the mirror and thought about what went wrong with his arrangement, which actually caused a big drama to end in failure, and the battle between humans and gods actually joined hands.
Luther had to admit that the appearance of the Doomsday he created formed a link between the two parties.
While talking to himself in the mirror, Lex Luthor saw countless images in a trance——
Under the mushroom cloud, Superman hugged a woman and cried bitterly in the ruins of the city; with a glance of red eyes, the human army collapsed; countless people obeyed tremblingly; and Luthor himself sometimes became a tomb, and sometimes became a high-spirited leader of the earth. Opinion officer, sometimes secretly having an affair with Batman...
An unparalleled amount of information washed over Lex Luthor's mind, an impact that would turn a normal person into a madman. He held on tenaciously, holding on to the sink stiffly, with blood coming from his mouth and nose...
Lex Luthor woke up after the doctor's exclaimed rescue.
He was helpless to find that those memories had flowed away like sand between his fingers, leaving only his strongest emotion when faced with the sudden memory - fear of Superman.
So he accepted Amanda Waller's overtures and prepared for the day when Superman would rule the Earth.
…
[I thought I heard someone praising me just now! ] Raman couldn't help but said: [I didn't expect that my substitute job was pretty good. Soon so many people were praising me. 】
MP asked curiously: [Raman, what are you praising? I want to hear it too. 】
Raman said shyly: [It seems to be a group of public officials. I had just returned the whale to the sea when I heard that they had discovered the good deed I had done. 】
MP applauded: [Awesome, a group of people are always paying attention to your results. 】
Raman nodded: [Yes, I also saw them forming a group and listening to the man in the middle praising Superman as a saint. 】
MP meowed happily.
…
In a blink of an eye, it's the weekend, and [Clark Kent] brings his new best friend Bruce Wayne to visit Martha Kent.
Bruce had other plans for what, but it couldn't be coming out.
so……
"Afu, there's no need to dress up so grandly. I almost thought you were going to get engaged."
Bruce looked at the hand-customized suit and shiny leather shoes in front of him and said helplessly.
Alfred glanced at Bruce jokingly, and took off this suit of clothes before he was ready. He put a set of decent shirts and trousers on Bruce's bedroom, and went downstairs to pick up gifts of Gotham specialties. After choosing an inconspicuous car, he opened the door of Wayne Manor, waved a handkerchief and watched Bruce drive away.
"Treat a respectable lady with respect, Master Bruce." Alfred murmured to himself, "Don't start a fight with that lady's son in front of her."
In the car, [Superman] looked at Bruce for a while. After looking at Bruce suspiciously, he said in a cheerful tone: "Bruce, my mother must be very happy to see you."
Hope so. Bruce was afraid that lady wouldn't like a man who nearly caused her son's death.
But Bruce replied cheerfully: "I guess so. I'm looking forward to meeting Martha."
"your mother."
“Someone who nurtures you, understands you, and understands you.”
MP was stunned, and suddenly burst into tears: [Woo, does Batman miss his mother? I remember he lost his mother when he was a child, woo Raman, Batman is so pitiful. 】
Raman opened his eyes wide, and his brain analysis concluded that Batman's tone focused on the pronunciation of "understand". This is an unconscious behavior of human beings, and only super brains like Kryptonians can distinguish the subtle pauses and unnatural thoughts of humans.
But MP cried so much that he hiccupped: [Raman, let’s give some care to Batman for a while, he is so pitiful, woo Raman—I’m going to have respiratory alkalosis, do cats have this disease? 】
Raman blinked: [It's okay, don't worry, you are just an ordinary cosmic consciousness, you won't get sick at all! 】
[As for Batman, don’t worry. 】
Raman was full of dignity: [It’s just a trivial matter, a mere trivial matter… uh, it’s just a trivial matter. 】
MP nodded in conviction, his hair flying.
…
Martha was already waiting in front of the farm gate. [Clark] said in advance that he would bring friends to visit Martha.
"Who is it? [Clark], who is your friend?"
"Mom! You also know it, it's Bruce! Bruce Wayne! That person who is just like me!"
Martha smiled gently: "He is the person who reconciled after the misunderstanding. I met him when he was kidnapped, wasn't he?"
On the other side of the phone, Martha seemed to be able to see [Clark] nodding, and the joy in his voice infected Martha with a smile.
"Yes, Mom! I like him very much. I will bring him to see you. See you on the weekend!"
The sky is clear and the corn is still green and growing luxuriantly, submerging the roads and people, leaving only the constant chirping of insects.
After Martha paused for a while, she heard the slight noise of the car engine and stepped forward to meet it. The slightly familiar man in the driver's seat looked uneasy.
[Clark], the co-pilot, had already rushed out and gave Martha a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
The man in the driver's seat watched this scene in a daze, and Martha watched him get out of the car with restraint and opened her arms to him.
"Would you like a hug, Bruce?"
…
Lois Lane is interviewing Iron Man.
It was difficult to get an appointment with Antony Stark (Tony Stark) for an interview, so she waited in the lounge in advance.
But sitting in the reception room of Stark Tower, Louise felt a little enlightened.
Seriously, when did Iron Man appear? Why didn't Louise go to the interview when he showed up, instead of waiting until now?
Lois Lane shook her head, but she couldn't figure out her state at that time.
Iron Man...when did he appear?
After a while, she barely recalled from her memory that it was after the Zod incident and before the Doomsday incident. It's been four or five months now.
At that time, Louise seemed to be taking the lead in making an anti-terrorist declaration.
There was no time to interview this rich man in armor, so the Daily Planet handed over the interview task to colleagues from the entertainment and financial pages.
It wasn't until Iron Man caused an uproar that Louise realized that the rich man seemed to be serious.
After finally straightening out the timeline, Lois breathed a sigh of relief, only to find Pepper Potts, CEO of Stark Enterprises, walking into the reception room with an apology on her face.
"Sorry, Ms. Lane, Tony Stark is in breach of contract and refuses to grant this interview."
Louise asked: "Then when can we make another appointment?"
Pepper Potts said extremely apologetically: "Sorry, Stark has other things to do, and the time for the next interview is uncertain."
"Okay." Louise and the two resolved the conflict with adult greetings, and Boz sent Louise out.
As she walked out of Stark Tower, Lois took out her phone and searched for the latest news from Stark.
Sure enough, I discovered that ten minutes ago someone broke the news that Iron Man was having a party in the Eastern Time Zone.
Louise pinched the phone.
She couldn't help it and liked one comment: Sure enough, there is no superman who is responsible.
After finishing it, she felt much more relaxed and ready to go to the next work place.
