"Peggy." Clark slowed down and called Peggy's name again.
Peggy turned a deaf ear, still looking sadly at Bruce who was standing far under the eaves.
Bruce didn't make a sound or move, just looked at Peggy quietly, hoping that she would realize that something was wrong.
It stands to reason that Peggy is now injured and sitting on the cold snow.Either way, Bruce should come forward and get Peggy off the damn snow first.With Peggy's level of defense against Clark at the moment, the fastest and most efficient way is of course for Bruce to go forward and pick Peggy up from the snow.
But... Bruce would not do such a deadly thing.
If Barry Allen was standing under the eaves now, maybe that silly Baitian would not be able to understand Clark's face, and foolishly stepped forward to rub shoulders with the god of death.But not Bruce Wayne.
He has seen how terrifying the Kent brothers and sisters are.
Therefore, despite Peggy's anticipation, Bruce still kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.Completely, unimpressed.
Clark couldn't stand it anymore, he sighed, reached out and gently pressed Peggy's arms raised towards Bruce.He clearly felt that the moment his hand touched Peggy's arm, the other party couldn't help shivering.
"Peggy, relax. It's me."
This is a bit out of mind.But the tone of the other party managed to calm Peggy a little.She looked away from Bruce in a little confusion, and turned to look at Clark aside.
Peggy looked at Clark for a while, and finally asked in an uncertain tone: "Clark?"
"Ah."
Peggy swallowed nervously.She was still a little worried, what if... what if things were not as she imagined?
Peggy took a deep breath and tentatively said, "You haven't even taken me to visit the Statue of Liberty."
Clark looked at Peggy dumbfounded: "You didn't say you wanted to see it either."
"Clark! It's you!" Peggy cheered and put her arms around Clark's neck.
Clark was a little caught off guard by the sudden hug, but he quickly realized that Peggy knew his identity, so he gently hugged Peggy back: "It's me, it's okay. I'm here to pick you up. "
Clark's tone was as gentle as a new leaf in spring, gently brushing against Peggy's heart.
Paige thought of all the grievances she had suffered in this world. For a while, she couldn't control her emotions, and she fell on Clark's shoulder and cried.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Bruce: ...
Clark patted Peggy on the back: "It's okay, it's okay. I heard you were injured, where is the injury? Let me see."
It's good that Clark didn't mention it, but when he mentioned the injury, Peggy cried even more fiercely.
"Woooooooooooooooooo... I was bitten by a wolf, and it hurts me to death! That 'Clark' is going to send me to the police station. Hey...I hate him."
When Clark heard that Peggy was bitten by a wolf, his scalp felt numb on the spot. He gently pushed Peggy away who was crying non-stop: "Let me see the injury first."
Peggy would not let go: "Don't let me see, hey... It hurts so much. Hey... I want to hug."
Clark had no choice but to pat Peggy on the back while patiently persuading her to let him check her injuries.
Concerned about Peggy, Jonathan, who secretly followed Bruce to the backyard, was shocked by the scene before him and couldn't speak.
#Didn’t you still send someone to the police station yesterday?Why are you hugging each other today?Why isn't Mr. Wayne angry at all when he sees his girlfriend being hugged by others?The world of adults is too difficult to understand!
Bruce turned his head slightly, and saw Jonathan who was struck by lightning and didn't know where he was.
In order to cause unnecessary trouble, Bruce took a step sideways, blocking Jonathan's sight, and then he risked being included in the death list by Clark and Peggy: "Mr. Kent! I think we should go into the house to talk .”
Clark and Peggy were brought back to their senses by Bruce's voice.
Peggy looked up from Clark's shoulders and looked at Bruce with misty eyes.With just one glance, she saw Jonathan behind Bruce.Immediately, Peggy let go of her arm around Clark as if she had been electrocuted.
The action was too hasty, and she accidentally pulled the wound on her leg, and Peggy leaned against Clark's chest weakly in pain.
Seeing this, Clark quickly put his arms around Peggy: "Where did you get hurt?"
"Calf." Peggy pointed to her injured leg, "I sewed thirteen stitches myself last night."
When Clark heard this, his heart ached again.
He bent down slightly and gently hugged Peggy.
When Bruce saw this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes. He quickly turned around to force Jonathan's body back, and strictly blocked Jonathan's curious peeping: "Let's go, let's talk in the house."
Jonathan refused, and still wanted to see what happened to Clark and Peggy.
But Bruce's attitude was tough, and he pressed his hands firmly on Jonathan's shoulders, showing no intention of relaxing.
It's not that Jonathan has no strength to fight against Bruce, but Bruce is a strange human being to him after all.There was no need for him to expose his Kryptonian ancestry just to satisfy his momentary curiosity.
Jonathan was forcefully held by Bruce and returned to the house.
Bruce glanced back a few times along the way.The young couple who had reunited after a long time didn't consider the feelings of the people around them, they openly hugged each other and whispered in each other's ears.Regardless of the fact that the two of them are not lovers in this world.
#ah!Teammate is a good teammate, but his girlfriend always makes teamfights difficult.
Bruce thought gloomily.
Bruce stopped at the door while thinking about the next course of action.He pushed Jonathan into the cabin, and then closed the door slightly so that Jonathan could not see the scene behind.
Jonathan was confused for a second, and soon realized that Mr. Wayne, who had come all the way to find his girlfriend, was finally planning to talk to his father about his girlfriend.Jonathan wanted to watch this excitement, but somehow felt that this excitement might look dangerous.After weighing again and again, he ran back to the house and sat on the sofa, quietly waiting for the adults to deal with the troublesome things between them.
#Pei Ji has no Bishu in her heart!Let her travel around thousands of worlds, as soon as her Clark appears, she will lose all green trees!
Bruce looked at Peggy, who leaned her head against Clark's neck with her pursed mouth, and couldn't help but think so.
As soon as Clark looked up, he saw Bruce standing at the door waiting for them with a grim expression.
"what happened?"
Bruce glanced at Peggy with a sleepy expression, and sighed: "I think you two...maybe need...to restrain yourself."
Peggy raised her head instantly: "What do you mean?"
Bruce pointed to the room: "There's a kid inside."
When Peggy heard this, she instantly felt like a deflated ball.She gently pushed Clark's chest: "You put me down."
Clark hadn't turned his head at this moment, he only knew that Peggy's leg was injured.
Let her go by herself?
Don't even think about it!
Clark frowned: "Don't make trouble."
Peggy looked unhappy: "Don't make trouble. Your son is in the house!"
"I..." Clark paused, "My son?" He finally remembered the missing information in the passage that the little boy cried to him.
Yes, that little boy is his son.
Clark glanced at Paige uncomfortably.
There was no expression on Paige's face.For a moment Clark couldn't tell whether Paige was frowning in anger or in pain from her leg injury.But to Clark's relief, Peggy, who insisted on him putting herself down, did not show any signs of wanting to stay away from him.Even though she stood firmly on the ground by herself, Peggy still had a trusting look, half leaning on him.
Clark supported Peggy to the door, but Peggy let go of her hand without warning, and turned to hold Bruce naturally.
Clark's eyebrows twitched, and he endured no objection.
"What's the child's name?" Clark asked in a low voice before entering the door in order not to reveal his flaws.
"Jonathan." Peggy winked at Clark, "It sounds like the name you would choose."
Clark touched his nose embarrassingly, but remained silent.
The three pushed the door open and entered the room, only to see Jonathan sitting nervously on the sofa.He jumped up involuntarily when he saw Clark enter the room.With a look of wanting to step forward but hesitated, a pair of eyes swept back and forth on the three of them several times.
Clark glanced at Jonathan's face, then at Peggy's face, and said softly, "Jonathan, can you go back to your room first? We still have something to talk about."
Jonathan winked several times at Peggy, but after receiving no response, he finally responded reluctantly, turned around and walked towards his room.
As soon as Jonathan left, Clark quickly reached out to support Peggy and let her sit down on the sofa.With Peggy's help, Clark successfully found the medicine box and changed the gauze for Peggy.
During this period, Peggy inevitably yelled at Clark for a while.
"Why, I still feel that I should go to the hospital for treatment." Clark said with a serious face after changing the gauze.
"I'm a doctor myself. Besides..." Peggy paused and sighed softly, "Although it's not very clear, it seems that Clark here rarely uses superpowers."
Clark blinked, looking like he didn't understand Peggy's meaning.
"It takes three or four hours to ride a horse from here to the town. By the time we get to the town, it's dark. What kind of doctor can we find?"
Bruce and Peggy are on the same front: "I also don't think it's appropriate to go back to town today. Clark, we have to think long-term. Things here must be resolved as soon as possible. If it takes too long, it's not good for everyone."
Clark looked at Peggy's calf distressedly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Bruce and Peggy here have been there, and they have hardly given any useful information. It seems that at least they are not involved in the incident. You guys What? What's going on?"
Paige shrugged. "Is getting Bruce Wayne out of jail considered progress?"
Bruce glanced at Peggy with disdain: "I have reason to suspect that New York is the culprit that caused the instability of the world's barriers."
"So... we have to go there as soon as possible?" Clark frowned, "What about Jonathan?"
"Foster to the residents of the town?" Peggy suggested.
Bruce pondered for a moment: "Based on the information I have, this is not a good decision. The Clark in this world is not very close to the residents of the town. Our actions like this will arouse suspicion. The fewer people who know the matter, the better." Well, after all, we gotta make sure the Clark of this world doesn't wreak havoc when he comes back."
☆、Chapter 150
Although Peggy doesn't want to admit that she is bad, but compared with Bruce, she does not do enough intelligence gathering, not good enough.
Bruce basically figured out the situation of most "old acquaintances" in this world.Except for Neptune and Diana because of their special identities, Bruce didn't collect information for a while, and Bruce figured out most of the rest of the people.
There was no accident in Central City in this world, and Barry Allen was just an ordinary forensic officer; Tony in this world did not fiddle with mechas, but developed many medium and long-range missiles with excellent performance; World War II in this world relied on Soldiers drive tanks to repel the enemy inch by inch to win the victory. There is no super serum, no Captain America; there is no S.H.I.E.L.D. People, so Sol is likely to still be in the territory of Asgard.
After hearing Bruce's summary, Peggy clenched Clark's hand with lingering fear.Clark stroked the back of Peggy's hand with his backhand, signaling her not to worry.
"In other words, in this world, there is no Justice League, and there is no Avengers?" Clarke concluded sharply.
Bruce nodded, his face was not very good-looking.
Peggy asked puzzledly: "Wouldn't it be nice to not have the Justice League and the Avengers? I mean... Isn't it good for us? If there are these two alliances here, There will be a lot of resistance to our actions. I don't want to confront the Avengers, even... even the Avengers without Steve."
Hearing Steve's name, Clark felt a little uncomfortable, but he quickly focused on business.
After listening to Peggy's question, Bruce showed no impatience or contempt for the first time.He glanced at Clark, and from the expression on the other side, he could see that Clark and he thought of going in the same direction, but seeing that Clark had no intention of explaining to Peggy, Bruce could only open his mouth to undertake the task of explaining.
"Peggy, in your opinion, apart from the factors of alien civilization, do you think there is a person or an organization on Earth that is capable of rivaling the Justice League or the Avengers?"
Peggy rolled her eyes and thought for a moment: "If it's just looking for trouble, I've heard the group of Avengers mention that the remnants of Hydra are still active in various parts of the world, and they have been busy cleaning up those annoying pests. .But... the 'comparable' you mentioned should mean the ability to compete head-on?"
Bruce nodded.
Seeing this, Peggy immediately shook her head: "No. Instead, the Justice League can make an appointment with the Avengers to see who is stronger."
Bruce didn't respond positively to Peggy's proposal for a fight: "Then, have you seen that we have developed... a technology similar to breaking the barriers of the world?"
Peggy had a vague idea of what Bruce wanted to express.
"Are you trying to say... there are stronger enemies in this world? Far better than the Justice League and the Avengers, and...we don't know anything about them?"
Although there was still some gap with what Bruce thought, Bruce still nodded lightly: "Probably that's what it means."
Peggy suddenly felt the pressure, and her shoulders collapsed involuntarily.Seeing this, Clark put his arms around Peggy's shoulders and let her lean against him.
"Then do you have any idea?" Clark asked very calmly, "No matter who the other party is, as long as the perpetrator can be found out, there can be a good solution to this matter."
Bruce nodded slightly to show that he didn't feel that the situation was not optimistic: "When I was in Gotham, I did a little research on the major companies and consortia in the world, especially those related to the arms business."
Peggy blinked nervously: "Do you have any eyebrows?"
"Yes." Bruce looked at Peggy and Clark, "I think this matter is very likely related to Osborn."
"Osborn?" Clark frowned, "I once interviewed Harry Osborn. Remember the 'Green Goblin' incident in New York? At that time, everyone suspected that the Green Goblin was related to Osborn Enterprises, so the planet The daily specially made an interview with Osborne Industries. If I remember correctly, they don’t seem to be involved in the arms business, but have always paid attention to efficient energy use.”
"That's in our world." Bruce reminded, "I also had several contacts with Norman Osborn. At that time, he was still very interested in the new technology of Wayne Hospital. In fact, apart from energy Yes, they have dabbled in biotechnology. But...it's different here. The Osborne Group didn't do their electrical business, but made their fortunes from arms. And, they didn't invest a lot of money in biotechnology , but for the study of quantum physics."
"Uh... I understand biology, but I didn't take physics seriously." Peggy frowned. "Could the things they're studying now cause the collision and fusion of the two worlds?"
"High probability." Bruce nodded slightly.
"But... why?" Peggy glanced at Clark and then at Bruce, "I've been thinking about this question since I came here. Since they have research in this area, they don't know how to send people Going to other worlds will cause the fusion of the two worlds. If the person being sent wants to go to another world to replace himself in another world because of his unsatisfactory life, I can barely understand. But, as a technology developer? Is it meaningful to take such a risk? After all, they can't be sure which world will be left after the two worlds collide. If you want me to say, they don't even have Superman, so why are they just like us!"
Feeling that Peggy clenched his hand with pride, Clark couldn't help smiling at Peggy: "Peggy, don't forget, they also have 'Clark Kent'."
"I know." Peggy patted Clark's arm, "but they don't have 'Superman'. I searched for 'Superman' on the Internet as soon as I came here, and the search results were 0. Of course, we don't rule out 'Superman' from this world." Clark's not 'Superman' but some super villain or something and he's good at disguising and secretly serving that Osborne Industries every day. But I've been here for more than a week and I've had a lot of chats with Jonathan .There is no evidence whatsoever that 'Clark' had a habit of using superpowers. In fact, he seems to... resent the use of his superpowers."
"Maybe...the other party didn't think about saving the world." A terrible conjecture flashed in Bruce's mind.
Clark frowned: "What do you mean?"
Bruce didn't answer, but fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "No, it might just be me... thinking too much."
"Let's hear it, maybe it's a little reliable?" Peggy urged.
Bruce glanced at the two, and said softly: "Suppose, suppose you have the ability to break the world barrier now, and you know the ending after the two worlds collide. Will you try to merge the two worlds?"
Peggy blinked puzzledly: "Didn't we just talk about this? Of course not! God knows, after the collision, I was the one who disappeared!"
Bruce continued to ask softly: "What if your life has fallen to the bottom? For example... Peggy, you lost Clark, and Clark, you lost Peggy."
As soon as Bruce said this, the expressions of the two people who were snuggling closely together suddenly changed.Facing the unhappy expressions of the two, Bruce didn't show apologies at all.His expression was extremely calm, like "I'm just making an analogy".
Clark looked down for a moment.It was not that he hadn't thought about Peggy's safety before, but he had never faced this fatal issue directly like today.What would happen to Paige if he was gone?To be honest, he was a little afraid to think about it.With his ability, it is estimated that under the drive of grief, it is possible to take away a country unconsciously.
But... putting the safety of the two worlds at risk?He didn't think he could make it this far.
Clark involuntarily held Peggy's hand, and then said to Bruce, "Even then, I wouldn't do such a dangerous thing."
However, Clark unexpectedly didn't feel the strength of Peggy's back grip.He looked back at Peggy a little strangely, but saw Peggy with her head down, thinking quietly.
"Peggy?"
Peggy looked up and looked at Clark.Clark could see a long-suppressed pain creeping up in her eyes.He squeezed Peggy's slightly cold hand in a panic.
"I will. Clark. If you were gone, and I knew there was you in another world, I would do something like that." Peggy spoke calmly, not at all angry or unreasonable, "I understand Bruce The meaning I want to express. If there is such a person in this world who has lost all the things and people he cherished, and it happens that he has such a dangerous technology. He will indeed do this. And it is... …There is a high probability that I will do it. At least, if that person is me, I will definitely do it.”
Bruce looked at Paige silently.He suddenly remembered that after Clark died last time, Peggy left for Japan.Now that I think about it, she's actually a good fit with Superman.
Even though she was often off-line and couldn't grasp the key points, she lost the chain at critical moments and drove him to death.But Bruce thinks from the bottom of his heart that when Clark can't protect her, Paige is actually strong, far stronger than they imagined.
"So, I think we need to hurry back to New York as soon as possible." Bruce concluded with his usual expression.
Clark nodded in agreement: "Leave early tomorrow morning?"
"What about Jonathan?" Peggy asked an urgent question, "Do we have to consider the impact of Clark's return here?"
Bruce said with a serious face: "Of course."
"But." Peggy pursed her mouth, "According to what Clark told me before, when we got here, the people here will occupy our bodies accordingly. Whether we have taken into account that Clark here doesn't like to use super Ability. He will definitely guess what we did."
"Uh..." Clark said hesitantly, "Actually, he might not know."
"Why?" Peggy had a bad feeling.
"We took a little precaution."
Peggy blinked, and it took a long time to realize what Clark's so-called "protective measures" were. She exclaimed, "Clark! Are you crazy?!"
Peggy's voice was so loud that it almost knocked off the roof. Even Jonathan in the bedroom couldn't help shivering. He timidly pushed open the door and poked his head out to check the situation.
The sharp-eyed Bruce saw Jonathan. He glared at Peggy first, and then said to Jonathan, "Jonathan, go back to the room, we haven't finished talking yet."
Jonathan looked at Clark, then at Peggy, who was flushed with anger, and said with a trembling voice, "Dad, do you still want to send Peggy to the police station?"
Clark sighed: "Nothing, we are discussing how to live tonight."
Jonathan said "Oh", and then said: "I can give up the room to Mr. Wayne and Aunt Peggy."
As soon as Jonathan spoke, the expressions of the three people in the living room changed in unison.
"Or..." Jonathan shrank his neck, "They should sleep in the living room."
Bruce's face softened a little, but Clark and Peggy's faces were still not very good-looking.Clark said in a somewhat blunt tone: "Jonathan, you are obedient. Go back to the house. I will take care of these things."
Upon hearing this, Jonathan obediently closed the door again.
Peggy's face was dark, as if she didn't want to pay attention to Clark.Clark naturally put his arms around Peggy for a while to persuade her.
Probably because of being in a strange world, although Peggy was angry, she didn't lose her temper for too long.Just make Clark promise never to do something so stupid again.
After solving the matter of Peggy's anger, the three had to face the problem of dividing the room just mentioned casually.
It is absolutely impossible for Peggy and Bruce to live in Jonathan's room.
Similarly, Clark couldn't bear to let the injured Peggy continue to sleep on the sofa.After much deliberation, Clark finally gave up the bed to Peggy, left the sofa to Bruce, and decided to make a floor bunk by the fireplace.
Jonathan, who was allowed to leave the room by the adults, was so surprised that he couldn't even speak when he heard about this arrangement.
He felt that his father suddenly seemed to be a different person.Jonathan was full of doubts, but didn't know where to ask.
Three adults and one child simply settled for dinner in the wooden house.In order not to show his feet, Bruce, who could not cook at all, volunteered to help Clark cook dinner in front of Jonathan.After the two worked in the kitchen for a while, Bruce took the food made by Clark and kindly called Jonathan to try his craft.
After dinner, Jonathan consciously put away the tableware.His sensible appearance made Clark's heart soften for a while, and even his eyes softened a lot.Peggy, who watched all this silently, did not express any opinions.
After packing up, Bruce played flying chess with Jonathan for a while, and then sent Jonathan to go to rest early.
Clark carried Peggy back to the bedroom, gently put her on the bed, and covered her with the quilt.
"How about...I'll make the floor in the bedroom?" Clark frowned, "You have an injury on your leg, and it will be very inconvenient if you think about it in the middle of the night."
Peggy glanced at him: "You've already left the bedroom, why do you still need to lay the floor?"
Clark thought about it, there is nothing wrong with it, it makes sense!
So he happily retracted into the bed, reaching out to hug Peggy.
Paige put a hand on Clark's chest.
Clark looked at Peggy puzzled: "Peggy? What's wrong?"
"First, this body is not my own." Peggy spoke righteously, she rolled her eyes slowly, and said plainly, "Second, you are not my husband either."
☆、Chapter 151
Jonathan felt something was wrong.
But what was wrong specifically, Jonathan couldn't tell.
Based on how well he knew his father, and how Clark ignored Peggy two days ago.Jonathan thought that when Clark found out that Peggy was trying to escape, he would immediately drag her to the police station, but Clark didn't; Clark didn't; Jonathan thought that even if Clark had kindly allowed Bruce to leave with his girlfriend, he would have asked them to leave immediately, but Clark didn't; It's the limit, but Clark let Peggy live in his bedroom!
and!He seems to be sleeping in the bedroom too!
Jonathan lay on the bed and listened to the movement in the room.His intuition told him that something was going to happen tonight.Either Clark walked out of the bedroom lightly, or Bruce touched the ax from the woodshed and went to the bedroom to chop people.
Although there is a huge gap between these two assumptions, Jonathan doesn't particularly understand why the events are going the way they are.But that's the way it's told on TV and in storybooks.Jonathan believed in his knowledge, he believed in everything he knew from TV and books.
Voices came indistinctly from the bedroom.Because the two bedrooms were not close to each other, and the doors and windows were closed, Jonathan couldn't hear it very clearly.Compared with ordinary people, he already has excellent hearing, but compared to Clark, who is of pure Kryptonian blood, Jonathan's hearing can only be called excellent, not superpowers at all.
Jonathan listened attentively for a long time, but in the end he didn't hear any big news.At about eleven o'clock in the evening, he finally couldn't resist the deep sleepiness, turned over in the warm blanket, and fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, when Jonathan woke up, a delicious breakfast was already on the table.Clark was still wearing his apron, but Bruce claimed he wasn't up early enough, so he grabbed some food.
Jonathan didn't notice anything wrong during dinner yesterday, but this morning, Jonathan finally realized where the sense of disobedience at dinner last night came from.
Clark is a person who doesn't like to trouble others.When guests come to the house, whether the host likes it or not, since the host decides to let the guests stay, there is nothing wrong with the host cooking a meal.But asking guests to lend a helping hand?That's not at all Clarke's style.Besides, as soon as the food was tasted, it was clear that it was not from Clark's handwriting.Jonathan had no doubts that last night's dinner and this morning's breakfast were all made by Bruce.But why does Clark wear an apron and act like he's the real hero when Bruce does all the work?
Jonathan couldn't help but glanced at Peggy who was already eating.
Could it be... because he wanted to show off in front of his cousin?But... why?Jonathan clearly remembered that before yesterday, Clark still looked like he didn't want anything to do with Peggy.
Thinking about something, Jonathan ate his breakfast absent-mindedly.
Also absent-minded, there was Clark sitting on the table.Going to New York, the first problem to be solved is Jonathan.According to Peggy, it is not the most appropriate way to keep Jonathan in the town, so the remaining option is to take him along.
Jonathan's safety was a challenge, but the bigger challenge was...Clark really didn't know how to act as a father.He was completely ignorant of "Clark's" style of conduct.Peggy has limited information. As a son, Jonathan must be familiar with everything about "Clark".If Jonathan is always by his side, how to not show his feet is simply a difficult challenge.
"Jonathan." Clark cleared his throat and said as calmly as possible, "I want to hear your opinion on something."
Listen to opinions?
Jonathan's eyeballs rolled around, then he put down the spoon and sat upright, looking at Clark eagerly like a puppy.
Clark was a little nervous by Jonathan, so he raised his hand and rubbed his head and said, "Eat first, let's talk after eating."
Jonathan let out an "oh", obediently picked up the spoon, and emptied all the oatmeal in the bowl.
"Jonathan, do you... want to go to New York?"
"New York?" Jonathan blinked, "Is it that city in the east of the United States? Are we moving? Why are we moving so far away? The book says there are no mountains there, it's a big city. We went Where do you want to live? If you want to cut down trees, will you have to travel far?"
Clark never knew that the child's question was like the AK47 turned on the burst shooting mode.He sighed: "We're not moving, you don't have to worry. I'm just... going to New York to help Bruce with a little trouble."
Jonathan took a quick glance at Bruce, who was @@, but couldn't read any meaningful information from the other's expression.
Jonathan thought for a while, leaned over, leaned over to Clark and asked in a low voice, "He gave you a lot of money?"
Clark felt a little headache, this little guy's thinking mode... If he didn't know, Clark would almost think that this little guy was his and Peggy's son.This inconspicuous way of thinking is exactly the same as Peggy's.
"No." Clark replied patiently, "Bruce and I are friends, and I'm just going to do a little favor. If you don't want to leave here, I can ask..."
"I don't want to be separated from you!" Jonathan interrupted Clark sharply, as if Clark was about to abandon his youngest son in the next second.
Clark cleared his throat, and said emotionally: "Then you finish eating, pack up. We will go down the mountain later."
"Okay!" Jonathan happily agreed.
After breakfast, everyone neatly packed up their belongings.Peggy crossed her legs after changing the gauze on the sofa.A group of people finally rode down the mountain.
Clark didn't need to ride a horse, but considering that "Clark" doesn't like to use superpowers, Clark still gave up the idea of flying directly to New York with Peggy in his arms.
After arriving in town, Clark and Jonathan got into Bruce's imposing off-road vehicle first.And Bruce accompanied Peggy to the police station and returned Joanna.Paige briefly explained to the sheriff, apologizing for not returning the horse in time because of the injury.
In the eyes of the people in the town, Peggy, an outsider, was taken away by her friends.From the beginning to the end, no one saw the Clark she was looking for appearing with these two people.Everyone couldn't help sighing that Clark was still the Clark they knew who didn't like to socialize with people.
But no one noticed that Clark, who didn't like to socialize with people, took his son and left in a car with the two outsiders.
To go to New York, the fastest way is of course to fly over with Clark taking everyone.But in order to keep a low profile, this plan obviously cannot be implemented.Otherwise, just drive to the nearest airport and fly out.It was a piece of cake for Bruce.But when he thought that he had just escaped from the murder case, Bruce silently crossed out this option in order not to attract unnecessary attention.
The rest... is to drive all the way, along the spacious highways of the United States, and go straight to New York City.
There are four people in a car, three adults and one kid.Bruce is the only serious old driver.The remaining three people did not speak, just looked at him helplessly.No matter how upset Bruce was, he could only work hard as a driver.
Because Jonathan was in the car, Clark didn't dare to discuss the next course of action with Bruce all the way.It's okay if you can't discuss the plan, but the terrible thing is that whenever he plans to talk to Peggy, Jonathan will show a look of surprise.After Clark asked about Peggy's injury a few times, he simply shut his mouth and didn't say anything more.
Bruce drove straight to New York City, barely stopping for a break.For him and Clark, the journey wasn't too difficult.But for the young Jonathan, it was simply boring and crushing.Jonathan, who had always regarded his father's words as an absolute order, finally started to quarrel after three hours of dull sitting.
When Clark heard Jonathan aggrievedly say that he wanted to get out of the car to go to the bathroom, Clark's scalp tingled.Since getting in the car, in order not to show off, Clark basically didn't say a word to Jonathan.Instead, Peggy kept talking to Jonathan, and Bruce interrupted from time to time.Now my "son" said he wanted to go to the bathroom, no matter how much he tried to shirk it, he couldn't shirk it now!
After Bruce parked the car at the gas station, Clark led Jonathan out of the car expressionlessly.After the little guy got into the toilet, he didn't come out for a long time.Clark asked loudly twice, but all he got was the answer "I want to poop".
Clark thought for a while, walked around the toilet, walked to the off-road vehicle, and seized the time to discuss the action plan with Bruce and Peggy.
In view of the large size of Osborn Industry, Bruce suggested finding someone to get in and get a feel for the situation first.As the big boss of the Wayne Group, he naturally couldn't do this job. Peggy was the best candidate, but her leg injury restricted her activities.After all, this matter finally fell on Clark's head.
Clark has no objection to sneaking into the enemy's interior, but the problem is that now the team has an extra little tail, and this little tail is still there.
Peggy turned a deaf ear, still looking sadly at Bruce who was standing far under the eaves.
Bruce didn't make a sound or move, just looked at Peggy quietly, hoping that she would realize that something was wrong.
It stands to reason that Peggy is now injured and sitting on the cold snow.Either way, Bruce should come forward and get Peggy off the damn snow first.With Peggy's level of defense against Clark at the moment, the fastest and most efficient way is of course for Bruce to go forward and pick Peggy up from the snow.
But... Bruce would not do such a deadly thing.
If Barry Allen was standing under the eaves now, maybe that silly Baitian would not be able to understand Clark's face, and foolishly stepped forward to rub shoulders with the god of death.But not Bruce Wayne.
He has seen how terrifying the Kent brothers and sisters are.
Therefore, despite Peggy's anticipation, Bruce still kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.Completely, unimpressed.
Clark couldn't stand it anymore, he sighed, reached out and gently pressed Peggy's arms raised towards Bruce.He clearly felt that the moment his hand touched Peggy's arm, the other party couldn't help shivering.
"Peggy, relax. It's me."
This is a bit out of mind.But the tone of the other party managed to calm Peggy a little.She looked away from Bruce in a little confusion, and turned to look at Clark aside.
Peggy looked at Clark for a while, and finally asked in an uncertain tone: "Clark?"
"Ah."
Peggy swallowed nervously.She was still a little worried, what if... what if things were not as she imagined?
Peggy took a deep breath and tentatively said, "You haven't even taken me to visit the Statue of Liberty."
Clark looked at Peggy dumbfounded: "You didn't say you wanted to see it either."
"Clark! It's you!" Peggy cheered and put her arms around Clark's neck.
Clark was a little caught off guard by the sudden hug, but he quickly realized that Peggy knew his identity, so he gently hugged Peggy back: "It's me, it's okay. I'm here to pick you up. "
Clark's tone was as gentle as a new leaf in spring, gently brushing against Peggy's heart.
Paige thought of all the grievances she had suffered in this world. For a while, she couldn't control her emotions, and she fell on Clark's shoulder and cried.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Bruce: ...
Clark patted Peggy on the back: "It's okay, it's okay. I heard you were injured, where is the injury? Let me see."
It's good that Clark didn't mention it, but when he mentioned the injury, Peggy cried even more fiercely.
"Woooooooooooooooooo... I was bitten by a wolf, and it hurts me to death! That 'Clark' is going to send me to the police station. Hey...I hate him."
When Clark heard that Peggy was bitten by a wolf, his scalp felt numb on the spot. He gently pushed Peggy away who was crying non-stop: "Let me see the injury first."
Peggy would not let go: "Don't let me see, hey... It hurts so much. Hey... I want to hug."
Clark had no choice but to pat Peggy on the back while patiently persuading her to let him check her injuries.
Concerned about Peggy, Jonathan, who secretly followed Bruce to the backyard, was shocked by the scene before him and couldn't speak.
#Didn’t you still send someone to the police station yesterday?Why are you hugging each other today?Why isn't Mr. Wayne angry at all when he sees his girlfriend being hugged by others?The world of adults is too difficult to understand!
Bruce turned his head slightly, and saw Jonathan who was struck by lightning and didn't know where he was.
In order to cause unnecessary trouble, Bruce took a step sideways, blocking Jonathan's sight, and then he risked being included in the death list by Clark and Peggy: "Mr. Kent! I think we should go into the house to talk .”
Clark and Peggy were brought back to their senses by Bruce's voice.
Peggy looked up from Clark's shoulders and looked at Bruce with misty eyes.With just one glance, she saw Jonathan behind Bruce.Immediately, Peggy let go of her arm around Clark as if she had been electrocuted.
The action was too hasty, and she accidentally pulled the wound on her leg, and Peggy leaned against Clark's chest weakly in pain.
Seeing this, Clark quickly put his arms around Peggy: "Where did you get hurt?"
"Calf." Peggy pointed to her injured leg, "I sewed thirteen stitches myself last night."
When Clark heard this, his heart ached again.
He bent down slightly and gently hugged Peggy.
When Bruce saw this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes. He quickly turned around to force Jonathan's body back, and strictly blocked Jonathan's curious peeping: "Let's go, let's talk in the house."
Jonathan refused, and still wanted to see what happened to Clark and Peggy.
But Bruce's attitude was tough, and he pressed his hands firmly on Jonathan's shoulders, showing no intention of relaxing.
It's not that Jonathan has no strength to fight against Bruce, but Bruce is a strange human being to him after all.There was no need for him to expose his Kryptonian ancestry just to satisfy his momentary curiosity.
Jonathan was forcefully held by Bruce and returned to the house.
Bruce glanced back a few times along the way.The young couple who had reunited after a long time didn't consider the feelings of the people around them, they openly hugged each other and whispered in each other's ears.Regardless of the fact that the two of them are not lovers in this world.
#ah!Teammate is a good teammate, but his girlfriend always makes teamfights difficult.
Bruce thought gloomily.
Bruce stopped at the door while thinking about the next course of action.He pushed Jonathan into the cabin, and then closed the door slightly so that Jonathan could not see the scene behind.
Jonathan was confused for a second, and soon realized that Mr. Wayne, who had come all the way to find his girlfriend, was finally planning to talk to his father about his girlfriend.Jonathan wanted to watch this excitement, but somehow felt that this excitement might look dangerous.After weighing again and again, he ran back to the house and sat on the sofa, quietly waiting for the adults to deal with the troublesome things between them.
#Pei Ji has no Bishu in her heart!Let her travel around thousands of worlds, as soon as her Clark appears, she will lose all green trees!
Bruce looked at Peggy, who leaned her head against Clark's neck with her pursed mouth, and couldn't help but think so.
As soon as Clark looked up, he saw Bruce standing at the door waiting for them with a grim expression.
"what happened?"
Bruce glanced at Peggy with a sleepy expression, and sighed: "I think you two...maybe need...to restrain yourself."
Peggy raised her head instantly: "What do you mean?"
Bruce pointed to the room: "There's a kid inside."
When Peggy heard this, she instantly felt like a deflated ball.She gently pushed Clark's chest: "You put me down."
Clark hadn't turned his head at this moment, he only knew that Peggy's leg was injured.
Let her go by herself?
Don't even think about it!
Clark frowned: "Don't make trouble."
Peggy looked unhappy: "Don't make trouble. Your son is in the house!"
"I..." Clark paused, "My son?" He finally remembered the missing information in the passage that the little boy cried to him.
Yes, that little boy is his son.
Clark glanced at Paige uncomfortably.
There was no expression on Paige's face.For a moment Clark couldn't tell whether Paige was frowning in anger or in pain from her leg injury.But to Clark's relief, Peggy, who insisted on him putting herself down, did not show any signs of wanting to stay away from him.Even though she stood firmly on the ground by herself, Peggy still had a trusting look, half leaning on him.
Clark supported Peggy to the door, but Peggy let go of her hand without warning, and turned to hold Bruce naturally.
Clark's eyebrows twitched, and he endured no objection.
"What's the child's name?" Clark asked in a low voice before entering the door in order not to reveal his flaws.
"Jonathan." Peggy winked at Clark, "It sounds like the name you would choose."
Clark touched his nose embarrassingly, but remained silent.
The three pushed the door open and entered the room, only to see Jonathan sitting nervously on the sofa.He jumped up involuntarily when he saw Clark enter the room.With a look of wanting to step forward but hesitated, a pair of eyes swept back and forth on the three of them several times.
Clark glanced at Jonathan's face, then at Peggy's face, and said softly, "Jonathan, can you go back to your room first? We still have something to talk about."
Jonathan winked several times at Peggy, but after receiving no response, he finally responded reluctantly, turned around and walked towards his room.
As soon as Jonathan left, Clark quickly reached out to support Peggy and let her sit down on the sofa.With Peggy's help, Clark successfully found the medicine box and changed the gauze for Peggy.
During this period, Peggy inevitably yelled at Clark for a while.
"Why, I still feel that I should go to the hospital for treatment." Clark said with a serious face after changing the gauze.
"I'm a doctor myself. Besides..." Peggy paused and sighed softly, "Although it's not very clear, it seems that Clark here rarely uses superpowers."
Clark blinked, looking like he didn't understand Peggy's meaning.
"It takes three or four hours to ride a horse from here to the town. By the time we get to the town, it's dark. What kind of doctor can we find?"
Bruce and Peggy are on the same front: "I also don't think it's appropriate to go back to town today. Clark, we have to think long-term. Things here must be resolved as soon as possible. If it takes too long, it's not good for everyone."
Clark looked at Peggy's calf distressedly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Bruce and Peggy here have been there, and they have hardly given any useful information. It seems that at least they are not involved in the incident. You guys What? What's going on?"
Paige shrugged. "Is getting Bruce Wayne out of jail considered progress?"
Bruce glanced at Peggy with disdain: "I have reason to suspect that New York is the culprit that caused the instability of the world's barriers."
"So... we have to go there as soon as possible?" Clark frowned, "What about Jonathan?"
"Foster to the residents of the town?" Peggy suggested.
Bruce pondered for a moment: "Based on the information I have, this is not a good decision. The Clark in this world is not very close to the residents of the town. Our actions like this will arouse suspicion. The fewer people who know the matter, the better." Well, after all, we gotta make sure the Clark of this world doesn't wreak havoc when he comes back."
☆、Chapter 150
Although Peggy doesn't want to admit that she is bad, but compared with Bruce, she does not do enough intelligence gathering, not good enough.
Bruce basically figured out the situation of most "old acquaintances" in this world.Except for Neptune and Diana because of their special identities, Bruce didn't collect information for a while, and Bruce figured out most of the rest of the people.
There was no accident in Central City in this world, and Barry Allen was just an ordinary forensic officer; Tony in this world did not fiddle with mechas, but developed many medium and long-range missiles with excellent performance; World War II in this world relied on Soldiers drive tanks to repel the enemy inch by inch to win the victory. There is no super serum, no Captain America; there is no S.H.I.E.L.D. People, so Sol is likely to still be in the territory of Asgard.
After hearing Bruce's summary, Peggy clenched Clark's hand with lingering fear.Clark stroked the back of Peggy's hand with his backhand, signaling her not to worry.
"In other words, in this world, there is no Justice League, and there is no Avengers?" Clarke concluded sharply.
Bruce nodded, his face was not very good-looking.
Peggy asked puzzledly: "Wouldn't it be nice to not have the Justice League and the Avengers? I mean... Isn't it good for us? If there are these two alliances here, There will be a lot of resistance to our actions. I don't want to confront the Avengers, even... even the Avengers without Steve."
Hearing Steve's name, Clark felt a little uncomfortable, but he quickly focused on business.
After listening to Peggy's question, Bruce showed no impatience or contempt for the first time.He glanced at Clark, and from the expression on the other side, he could see that Clark and he thought of going in the same direction, but seeing that Clark had no intention of explaining to Peggy, Bruce could only open his mouth to undertake the task of explaining.
"Peggy, in your opinion, apart from the factors of alien civilization, do you think there is a person or an organization on Earth that is capable of rivaling the Justice League or the Avengers?"
Peggy rolled her eyes and thought for a moment: "If it's just looking for trouble, I've heard the group of Avengers mention that the remnants of Hydra are still active in various parts of the world, and they have been busy cleaning up those annoying pests. .But... the 'comparable' you mentioned should mean the ability to compete head-on?"
Bruce nodded.
Seeing this, Peggy immediately shook her head: "No. Instead, the Justice League can make an appointment with the Avengers to see who is stronger."
Bruce didn't respond positively to Peggy's proposal for a fight: "Then, have you seen that we have developed... a technology similar to breaking the barriers of the world?"
Peggy had a vague idea of what Bruce wanted to express.
"Are you trying to say... there are stronger enemies in this world? Far better than the Justice League and the Avengers, and...we don't know anything about them?"
Although there was still some gap with what Bruce thought, Bruce still nodded lightly: "Probably that's what it means."
Peggy suddenly felt the pressure, and her shoulders collapsed involuntarily.Seeing this, Clark put his arms around Peggy's shoulders and let her lean against him.
"Then do you have any idea?" Clark asked very calmly, "No matter who the other party is, as long as the perpetrator can be found out, there can be a good solution to this matter."
Bruce nodded slightly to show that he didn't feel that the situation was not optimistic: "When I was in Gotham, I did a little research on the major companies and consortia in the world, especially those related to the arms business."
Peggy blinked nervously: "Do you have any eyebrows?"
"Yes." Bruce looked at Peggy and Clark, "I think this matter is very likely related to Osborn."
"Osborn?" Clark frowned, "I once interviewed Harry Osborn. Remember the 'Green Goblin' incident in New York? At that time, everyone suspected that the Green Goblin was related to Osborn Enterprises, so the planet The daily specially made an interview with Osborne Industries. If I remember correctly, they don’t seem to be involved in the arms business, but have always paid attention to efficient energy use.”
"That's in our world." Bruce reminded, "I also had several contacts with Norman Osborn. At that time, he was still very interested in the new technology of Wayne Hospital. In fact, apart from energy Yes, they have dabbled in biotechnology. But...it's different here. The Osborne Group didn't do their electrical business, but made their fortunes from arms. And, they didn't invest a lot of money in biotechnology , but for the study of quantum physics."
"Uh... I understand biology, but I didn't take physics seriously." Peggy frowned. "Could the things they're studying now cause the collision and fusion of the two worlds?"
"High probability." Bruce nodded slightly.
"But... why?" Peggy glanced at Clark and then at Bruce, "I've been thinking about this question since I came here. Since they have research in this area, they don't know how to send people Going to other worlds will cause the fusion of the two worlds. If the person being sent wants to go to another world to replace himself in another world because of his unsatisfactory life, I can barely understand. But, as a technology developer? Is it meaningful to take such a risk? After all, they can't be sure which world will be left after the two worlds collide. If you want me to say, they don't even have Superman, so why are they just like us!"
Feeling that Peggy clenched his hand with pride, Clark couldn't help smiling at Peggy: "Peggy, don't forget, they also have 'Clark Kent'."
"I know." Peggy patted Clark's arm, "but they don't have 'Superman'. I searched for 'Superman' on the Internet as soon as I came here, and the search results were 0. Of course, we don't rule out 'Superman' from this world." Clark's not 'Superman' but some super villain or something and he's good at disguising and secretly serving that Osborne Industries every day. But I've been here for more than a week and I've had a lot of chats with Jonathan .There is no evidence whatsoever that 'Clark' had a habit of using superpowers. In fact, he seems to... resent the use of his superpowers."
"Maybe...the other party didn't think about saving the world." A terrible conjecture flashed in Bruce's mind.
Clark frowned: "What do you mean?"
Bruce didn't answer, but fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "No, it might just be me... thinking too much."
"Let's hear it, maybe it's a little reliable?" Peggy urged.
Bruce glanced at the two, and said softly: "Suppose, suppose you have the ability to break the world barrier now, and you know the ending after the two worlds collide. Will you try to merge the two worlds?"
Peggy blinked puzzledly: "Didn't we just talk about this? Of course not! God knows, after the collision, I was the one who disappeared!"
Bruce continued to ask softly: "What if your life has fallen to the bottom? For example... Peggy, you lost Clark, and Clark, you lost Peggy."
As soon as Bruce said this, the expressions of the two people who were snuggling closely together suddenly changed.Facing the unhappy expressions of the two, Bruce didn't show apologies at all.His expression was extremely calm, like "I'm just making an analogy".
Clark looked down for a moment.It was not that he hadn't thought about Peggy's safety before, but he had never faced this fatal issue directly like today.What would happen to Paige if he was gone?To be honest, he was a little afraid to think about it.With his ability, it is estimated that under the drive of grief, it is possible to take away a country unconsciously.
But... putting the safety of the two worlds at risk?He didn't think he could make it this far.
Clark involuntarily held Peggy's hand, and then said to Bruce, "Even then, I wouldn't do such a dangerous thing."
However, Clark unexpectedly didn't feel the strength of Peggy's back grip.He looked back at Peggy a little strangely, but saw Peggy with her head down, thinking quietly.
"Peggy?"
Peggy looked up and looked at Clark.Clark could see a long-suppressed pain creeping up in her eyes.He squeezed Peggy's slightly cold hand in a panic.
"I will. Clark. If you were gone, and I knew there was you in another world, I would do something like that." Peggy spoke calmly, not at all angry or unreasonable, "I understand Bruce The meaning I want to express. If there is such a person in this world who has lost all the things and people he cherished, and it happens that he has such a dangerous technology. He will indeed do this. And it is... …There is a high probability that I will do it. At least, if that person is me, I will definitely do it.”
Bruce looked at Paige silently.He suddenly remembered that after Clark died last time, Peggy left for Japan.Now that I think about it, she's actually a good fit with Superman.
Even though she was often off-line and couldn't grasp the key points, she lost the chain at critical moments and drove him to death.But Bruce thinks from the bottom of his heart that when Clark can't protect her, Paige is actually strong, far stronger than they imagined.
"So, I think we need to hurry back to New York as soon as possible." Bruce concluded with his usual expression.
Clark nodded in agreement: "Leave early tomorrow morning?"
"What about Jonathan?" Peggy asked an urgent question, "Do we have to consider the impact of Clark's return here?"
Bruce said with a serious face: "Of course."
"But." Peggy pursed her mouth, "According to what Clark told me before, when we got here, the people here will occupy our bodies accordingly. Whether we have taken into account that Clark here doesn't like to use super Ability. He will definitely guess what we did."
"Uh..." Clark said hesitantly, "Actually, he might not know."
"Why?" Peggy had a bad feeling.
"We took a little precaution."
Peggy blinked, and it took a long time to realize what Clark's so-called "protective measures" were. She exclaimed, "Clark! Are you crazy?!"
Peggy's voice was so loud that it almost knocked off the roof. Even Jonathan in the bedroom couldn't help shivering. He timidly pushed open the door and poked his head out to check the situation.
The sharp-eyed Bruce saw Jonathan. He glared at Peggy first, and then said to Jonathan, "Jonathan, go back to the room, we haven't finished talking yet."
Jonathan looked at Clark, then at Peggy, who was flushed with anger, and said with a trembling voice, "Dad, do you still want to send Peggy to the police station?"
Clark sighed: "Nothing, we are discussing how to live tonight."
Jonathan said "Oh", and then said: "I can give up the room to Mr. Wayne and Aunt Peggy."
As soon as Jonathan spoke, the expressions of the three people in the living room changed in unison.
"Or..." Jonathan shrank his neck, "They should sleep in the living room."
Bruce's face softened a little, but Clark and Peggy's faces were still not very good-looking.Clark said in a somewhat blunt tone: "Jonathan, you are obedient. Go back to the house. I will take care of these things."
Upon hearing this, Jonathan obediently closed the door again.
Peggy's face was dark, as if she didn't want to pay attention to Clark.Clark naturally put his arms around Peggy for a while to persuade her.
Probably because of being in a strange world, although Peggy was angry, she didn't lose her temper for too long.Just make Clark promise never to do something so stupid again.
After solving the matter of Peggy's anger, the three had to face the problem of dividing the room just mentioned casually.
It is absolutely impossible for Peggy and Bruce to live in Jonathan's room.
Similarly, Clark couldn't bear to let the injured Peggy continue to sleep on the sofa.After much deliberation, Clark finally gave up the bed to Peggy, left the sofa to Bruce, and decided to make a floor bunk by the fireplace.
Jonathan, who was allowed to leave the room by the adults, was so surprised that he couldn't even speak when he heard about this arrangement.
He felt that his father suddenly seemed to be a different person.Jonathan was full of doubts, but didn't know where to ask.
Three adults and one child simply settled for dinner in the wooden house.In order not to show his feet, Bruce, who could not cook at all, volunteered to help Clark cook dinner in front of Jonathan.After the two worked in the kitchen for a while, Bruce took the food made by Clark and kindly called Jonathan to try his craft.
After dinner, Jonathan consciously put away the tableware.His sensible appearance made Clark's heart soften for a while, and even his eyes softened a lot.Peggy, who watched all this silently, did not express any opinions.
After packing up, Bruce played flying chess with Jonathan for a while, and then sent Jonathan to go to rest early.
Clark carried Peggy back to the bedroom, gently put her on the bed, and covered her with the quilt.
"How about...I'll make the floor in the bedroom?" Clark frowned, "You have an injury on your leg, and it will be very inconvenient if you think about it in the middle of the night."
Peggy glanced at him: "You've already left the bedroom, why do you still need to lay the floor?"
Clark thought about it, there is nothing wrong with it, it makes sense!
So he happily retracted into the bed, reaching out to hug Peggy.
Paige put a hand on Clark's chest.
Clark looked at Peggy puzzled: "Peggy? What's wrong?"
"First, this body is not my own." Peggy spoke righteously, she rolled her eyes slowly, and said plainly, "Second, you are not my husband either."
☆、Chapter 151
Jonathan felt something was wrong.
But what was wrong specifically, Jonathan couldn't tell.
Based on how well he knew his father, and how Clark ignored Peggy two days ago.Jonathan thought that when Clark found out that Peggy was trying to escape, he would immediately drag her to the police station, but Clark didn't; Clark didn't; Jonathan thought that even if Clark had kindly allowed Bruce to leave with his girlfriend, he would have asked them to leave immediately, but Clark didn't; It's the limit, but Clark let Peggy live in his bedroom!
and!He seems to be sleeping in the bedroom too!
Jonathan lay on the bed and listened to the movement in the room.His intuition told him that something was going to happen tonight.Either Clark walked out of the bedroom lightly, or Bruce touched the ax from the woodshed and went to the bedroom to chop people.
Although there is a huge gap between these two assumptions, Jonathan doesn't particularly understand why the events are going the way they are.But that's the way it's told on TV and in storybooks.Jonathan believed in his knowledge, he believed in everything he knew from TV and books.
Voices came indistinctly from the bedroom.Because the two bedrooms were not close to each other, and the doors and windows were closed, Jonathan couldn't hear it very clearly.Compared with ordinary people, he already has excellent hearing, but compared to Clark, who is of pure Kryptonian blood, Jonathan's hearing can only be called excellent, not superpowers at all.
Jonathan listened attentively for a long time, but in the end he didn't hear any big news.At about eleven o'clock in the evening, he finally couldn't resist the deep sleepiness, turned over in the warm blanket, and fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, when Jonathan woke up, a delicious breakfast was already on the table.Clark was still wearing his apron, but Bruce claimed he wasn't up early enough, so he grabbed some food.
Jonathan didn't notice anything wrong during dinner yesterday, but this morning, Jonathan finally realized where the sense of disobedience at dinner last night came from.
Clark is a person who doesn't like to trouble others.When guests come to the house, whether the host likes it or not, since the host decides to let the guests stay, there is nothing wrong with the host cooking a meal.But asking guests to lend a helping hand?That's not at all Clarke's style.Besides, as soon as the food was tasted, it was clear that it was not from Clark's handwriting.Jonathan had no doubts that last night's dinner and this morning's breakfast were all made by Bruce.But why does Clark wear an apron and act like he's the real hero when Bruce does all the work?
Jonathan couldn't help but glanced at Peggy who was already eating.
Could it be... because he wanted to show off in front of his cousin?But... why?Jonathan clearly remembered that before yesterday, Clark still looked like he didn't want anything to do with Peggy.
Thinking about something, Jonathan ate his breakfast absent-mindedly.
Also absent-minded, there was Clark sitting on the table.Going to New York, the first problem to be solved is Jonathan.According to Peggy, it is not the most appropriate way to keep Jonathan in the town, so the remaining option is to take him along.
Jonathan's safety was a challenge, but the bigger challenge was...Clark really didn't know how to act as a father.He was completely ignorant of "Clark's" style of conduct.Peggy has limited information. As a son, Jonathan must be familiar with everything about "Clark".If Jonathan is always by his side, how to not show his feet is simply a difficult challenge.
"Jonathan." Clark cleared his throat and said as calmly as possible, "I want to hear your opinion on something."
Listen to opinions?
Jonathan's eyeballs rolled around, then he put down the spoon and sat upright, looking at Clark eagerly like a puppy.
Clark was a little nervous by Jonathan, so he raised his hand and rubbed his head and said, "Eat first, let's talk after eating."
Jonathan let out an "oh", obediently picked up the spoon, and emptied all the oatmeal in the bowl.
"Jonathan, do you... want to go to New York?"
"New York?" Jonathan blinked, "Is it that city in the east of the United States? Are we moving? Why are we moving so far away? The book says there are no mountains there, it's a big city. We went Where do you want to live? If you want to cut down trees, will you have to travel far?"
Clark never knew that the child's question was like the AK47 turned on the burst shooting mode.He sighed: "We're not moving, you don't have to worry. I'm just... going to New York to help Bruce with a little trouble."
Jonathan took a quick glance at Bruce, who was @@, but couldn't read any meaningful information from the other's expression.
Jonathan thought for a while, leaned over, leaned over to Clark and asked in a low voice, "He gave you a lot of money?"
Clark felt a little headache, this little guy's thinking mode... If he didn't know, Clark would almost think that this little guy was his and Peggy's son.This inconspicuous way of thinking is exactly the same as Peggy's.
"No." Clark replied patiently, "Bruce and I are friends, and I'm just going to do a little favor. If you don't want to leave here, I can ask..."
"I don't want to be separated from you!" Jonathan interrupted Clark sharply, as if Clark was about to abandon his youngest son in the next second.
Clark cleared his throat, and said emotionally: "Then you finish eating, pack up. We will go down the mountain later."
"Okay!" Jonathan happily agreed.
After breakfast, everyone neatly packed up their belongings.Peggy crossed her legs after changing the gauze on the sofa.A group of people finally rode down the mountain.
Clark didn't need to ride a horse, but considering that "Clark" doesn't like to use superpowers, Clark still gave up the idea of flying directly to New York with Peggy in his arms.
After arriving in town, Clark and Jonathan got into Bruce's imposing off-road vehicle first.And Bruce accompanied Peggy to the police station and returned Joanna.Paige briefly explained to the sheriff, apologizing for not returning the horse in time because of the injury.
In the eyes of the people in the town, Peggy, an outsider, was taken away by her friends.From the beginning to the end, no one saw the Clark she was looking for appearing with these two people.Everyone couldn't help sighing that Clark was still the Clark they knew who didn't like to socialize with people.
But no one noticed that Clark, who didn't like to socialize with people, took his son and left in a car with the two outsiders.
To go to New York, the fastest way is of course to fly over with Clark taking everyone.But in order to keep a low profile, this plan obviously cannot be implemented.Otherwise, just drive to the nearest airport and fly out.It was a piece of cake for Bruce.But when he thought that he had just escaped from the murder case, Bruce silently crossed out this option in order not to attract unnecessary attention.
The rest... is to drive all the way, along the spacious highways of the United States, and go straight to New York City.
There are four people in a car, three adults and one kid.Bruce is the only serious old driver.The remaining three people did not speak, just looked at him helplessly.No matter how upset Bruce was, he could only work hard as a driver.
Because Jonathan was in the car, Clark didn't dare to discuss the next course of action with Bruce all the way.It's okay if you can't discuss the plan, but the terrible thing is that whenever he plans to talk to Peggy, Jonathan will show a look of surprise.After Clark asked about Peggy's injury a few times, he simply shut his mouth and didn't say anything more.
Bruce drove straight to New York City, barely stopping for a break.For him and Clark, the journey wasn't too difficult.But for the young Jonathan, it was simply boring and crushing.Jonathan, who had always regarded his father's words as an absolute order, finally started to quarrel after three hours of dull sitting.
When Clark heard Jonathan aggrievedly say that he wanted to get out of the car to go to the bathroom, Clark's scalp tingled.Since getting in the car, in order not to show off, Clark basically didn't say a word to Jonathan.Instead, Peggy kept talking to Jonathan, and Bruce interrupted from time to time.Now my "son" said he wanted to go to the bathroom, no matter how much he tried to shirk it, he couldn't shirk it now!
After Bruce parked the car at the gas station, Clark led Jonathan out of the car expressionlessly.After the little guy got into the toilet, he didn't come out for a long time.Clark asked loudly twice, but all he got was the answer "I want to poop".
Clark thought for a while, walked around the toilet, walked to the off-road vehicle, and seized the time to discuss the action plan with Bruce and Peggy.
In view of the large size of Osborn Industry, Bruce suggested finding someone to get in and get a feel for the situation first.As the big boss of the Wayne Group, he naturally couldn't do this job. Peggy was the best candidate, but her leg injury restricted her activities.After all, this matter finally fell on Clark's head.
Clark has no objection to sneaking into the enemy's interior, but the problem is that now the team has an extra little tail, and this little tail is still there.
