Batman paused.
Finally, [Superman] finally said these words.
The other boot finally landed, and Batman was relieved. Is [Superman]'s nearly week-long weird behavior finally going to show off today?
He looked back at [Superman] who was standing there, and the tenderness belonging to Gotham's baby in his steel blue eyes disappeared, replaced by the seriousness and tenacity of Gotham's shadow.
With sharp eyes, as if he was trying to penetrate the shell of a Kryptonian to see what was inside, Bruce spoke.
"Yes, [Clark], I've always thought so."
MP was confused at all and said with great confusion: [Is this really Batman? Why is he so confident that you like him? Raman, did we get the wrong Batman? 】
Raman’s voice was full of laughter: [Idiot. 】
MP said loudly: [I am not! Don't say I am! 】
After that, it huddled in the corner and really began to wonder if it was a fool.
"Your attitude makes me suspicious. What you do makes me suspicious."
"I think," Bruce was afraid to say the word "love", but he still said implicitly: "You can set your sights on things or people that are more brilliant, rather than in the shadows."
[Superman] opened his eyes blankly at this time. To be honest, even though Raman had worked hard to evolve and learn, he did not understand this metaphorical euphemism.
But sincerity beats everything, Raman thought, and so does fun.
"As long as you show a little bit of meaning..., the outstanding elites are swarming..." Bruce repeatedly demonstrated the advantages of [Superman], while not forgetting to belittle himself, trying to let [Superman] know from countless aspects, in Bruce ·Seeking love from Wayne is a ridiculous move.
Bruce didn't see [Superman]'s reaction until he talked about it until his mouth went dry.
He couldn't help but think in his mind, could [Superman] want to force love and not be interested in pure love?
Quietly hold down the spare lead box, which has a small piece of kryptonite inside. Bruce really hoped that [Superman] didn't notice his little move.
[Superman] looked slightly dazed, his eyes were confused and lifeless, as if he didn't understand what was said and the information was slipping away from his brain.
But Bruce didn't believe it.
[Superman] has fought against him many times. If he was really innocent, it would not have led to today's situation.
He always pretends to have an innocent face.
In the stalemate atmosphere, or maybe Bruce thought alone, [Superman]'s eyes changed from confused to thoughtful, from thoughtful to immersed in thought, and finally suddenly realized.
He said cheerfully: "Bruce, I didn't quite understand. But I just said it to resolve this misunderstanding."
Misunderstand? Batman couldn't help but glance at [Superman].
The sharpness and suspicion in his eyes were completely different from the tenderness and weakness of Bruce Wayne at that moment. Anyone who saw it would tremble, but [Superman] turned a blind eye and continued to speak in a cheerful tone.
"Yes. I studied sociology carefully, and the works on interpersonal communication. I found that——"
"I must have caused you trouble, Bruce."
[Superman] said with confidence.
"People are full of trials and choices, and getting along more intimately has very different meanings in different cultures. Therefore, people from multiple cultures collide when making friends - this is what I learned."
[Superman] continued to say cheerfully: "I tried to send you a sincere friend request and practice a kind of friendship. But I found that in the earth's culture, the sense of boundaries is something that needs to be paid attention to at all times."
"So I figured you might have a misunderstanding, so I'll explain it."
"I hope you don't misunderstand my good intentions. You know, I don't want to lose you."
Earth culture.
Batman didn't expect [Superman] to come up with this explanation.
Reasonable and convincing.
So Bruce immediately said with a soft tone, "Really? [Clark], I never thought about the cultural gap between you and me."
"Kansas is also a conservative state. I never thought that there would be a cultural gap between you and me under the influence of this kind of culture."
Bruce said something softly or harshly.
I saw [Superman] say without hesitation: "I am an alien."
"..."
"There is an emotional gap between alien culture and earth culture." Bruce sighed.
"I understand, [Clark], it turns out that I misunderstood you."
'FUCK YOU.' Batman thought.
Use this trick. You better really be an unhuman alien.
"I'm afraid that I have offended you in some way before, and I hope you won't be angry," [Superman] said. "I may still have some areas where I don't understand human communication in the future. You must remind me."
Bruce gritted his teeth and nodded: "It's okay, [Clark], I know you didn't mean it."
"Thank you! Bruce!" [Superman] took Bruce's hand with excitement on his face.
Under Bruce's frightened eyes, he pressed his hand to [Superman]'s chest.
The palm of his hand was pressed against the chest of the man of steel, and steady vibrations were received from the palm one after another, spreading through the arms, climbing to the shoulders, and drilling into Bruce's brain.
That's [Superman's] heartbeat.
The trembling feeling stimulated Bruce, as if [Superman]'s pulse was in his hands. This close feeling gave him the illusion of controlling [Superman]. But intellectually, the Kryptonian in front of him is extremely dangerous. Only Kryptonite can harm him. He is small and weak in front of [Superman], like gravel under a strong wind, which will scatter when blown away.
The shock of nerve signals made Bruce's hair stand on end, and [Superman] could crush his hand bones with a single press of his hands. And he actually stood completely in front of the Kryptonian, touching his heartbeat with a strong gesture.
The heart is like a drum.
Bruce's heart was beating very fast.
"Bang bang!"
"boom!"
Heart rate must be controlled! Otherwise [Superman] can hear it!
But he had heard it.
Bruce looked at [Superman], who was closing his eyes and pretending to be listening.
[Superman] heard it.
And Bruce heard it.
[Superman]'s heartbeat was constantly rising, heading straight towards Bruce's heart rate. The two completely different heart rates gradually overlapped, the noise disappeared, the thumping sound seemed to be one, and the two hearts were connected like an arm.
The resonance of the heartbeat.
Bruce closed his eyes.
Bruce opened his eyes.
He took back his hand and said to [Superman] who opened his eyes at the same time: "Alfred wants to see you, do you have time?"
…
Bright natural light shines through the window onto the desk, illuminating the latest information and reports compiled by Louise, who is concentrating with her eyes closed.
"Look! This report! Look, everyone, something big is happening!"
Louise was awakened. She pressed her temple: "What's going on? What's the fuss during lunch break? What's the big deal?"
"Take out your phone and click on the headlines! Louise, you really can't think of such a thing."
Louise clicked on the commonly used software, only to find that her account had been blocked, so she had to turn on her computer to check the notifications.
A big headline was posted: "Help! My daughter's case needs Superman as a witness!"
Louise narrowed her eyes.
Her entertainment page colleague Kate came over cheerfully: "Look, with the hot topic of Superman, other people's newspaper subscriptions have increased a lot. Why don't we have people like this who can make headlines?"
Louise ignored her and read out word by word: "I am Twila Diaz. My little daughter Santana was kidnapped by a serial murderer three weeks ago, but when the prisoner left, I My daughter called Superman for help. After Superman took the prisoner to the police station, he ran away! The police did not record it. After being rescued, my daughter fell into psychological trauma, and because of my daughter’s age, the testimony was not accepted. The prisoner could not be identified.”
"Please Superman, come to court and testify that it was that man who killed my daughter!"
Kate touched Louise with her arm, and she said very professionally: "You have written it down. This should be the second public incident in which Superman intervenes in human affairs. He ignores people and only saves them." "
"Oh, yes," Kate said, pretending to be enlightened: "And you, you are the only reporter who has been in contact with Superman after he was born. But after this incident, you are not the only 'Superman contact'. How do you feel?"
"Stay away from me." Louise ordered. "You should know my relationship with the military. Be careful about the day you go to jail for leaking secrets."
Kate left angrily.
Lois first complained to the media account, and then sent a message to [Clark Kent] in the field to inform him of the incident.
[Clark] immediately replied: "Okay, then do I have to testify?"
Louise said angrily: "Have you forgotten what Luther did to you? The last time he brought a bomb into the court, you were the only one who survived. What a storm it caused! Don't you remember?"
"I remember. What should I do?"
[Clark] on the other end of the modal particle message seemed cute for no reason. Louise dismissed this thought, knowing that it was because of her own filter on [Clark]'s psychological problems.
"[Clark], what are you going to do? The advice I can give is based on your thoughts. If you want to testify, we will try to reduce the possible influence of the conspiracy. If you still want to stay away from human beings, We only need to save people, so we will look for ways to minimize the impact of this incident on public opinion."
Louise was a little anxious, because this matter was extremely hot, and taking a second reaction would trigger a backlash from Superman's public opinion. But if Superman is involved in this matter, then there are two reasons. Next time someone asks the child who is about to die to meet Superman/ask Superman to take the child to fly to the sky/ask Superman to give Kryptonian healing technology/...; or maybe it is a mistake. Ordinary people who entered the battlefield died and asked soldiers from the other side of the war to be brought to court for trial/asked Superman to intervene in the war/…
There is no way to prevent it.
[Clark] on the other end sent a message: "Okay, go and testify."
