This is very embarrassing.

In fact, before Superman said to the captain, "My friend seems to be ready to help", it was entirely to patch Batman's behavior.He still has a solid image of Batman in the minds of the onlookers, a veritable hero, but it certainly has nothing to do with being helpful and meddling.

Then why did the Gotham vigilante suddenly run from his hometown to the vicinity of the metropolis?

Friendship is magic and can explain it all.

...the later kryptonite spears were another matter.

Moses has always had a good impression of the captain, and he was unwilling to perfuse him with lies, so he answered briefly: "I trust him."

No problem!

Batman is the person he trusts most in this world!

Does your left hand beat your right hand?

——Sometimes it may, but special circumstances will not be considered at this time.

Steve Rogers: "Ugh."

This single sound seems to be quite meaningful.

Moses returned a questioning look.

The captain pondered for a few seconds, then said, "So that weapon was actually made by you to deal with General Zod?"

Moses was about to follow his words and admit it, but suddenly realized the contradiction: Batman collected kryptonite because the system gave a warning, and the Kryptonian army hadn't visited Earth when the system gave the warning.

Unless the dark knight has the ability to predict future enemies, it is impossible to collect weapons in advance.

When Bruce Wayne bought kryptonite, he used the name of a collector and bought many other types of gemstones to confuse his eyes.But in the eyes of others, Bruce and Batman are two different people. Chairman Wayne, who spends a lot of money, has a beautiful smile, and what does it have to do with me, Batman?

Therefore, in the eyes of most people, Batman must have invested a lot of energy to collect kryptonite in advance, and it must have an important purpose.

Kryptonite is currently known to humans for only one purpose: to weaken and kill Kryptonians.

——Before the arrival of General Zod, there was only one Kryptonian on Earth.

Moses doesn't yet know what other people think about Batman, but even if he did, it's impossible to really admit it.So at this moment, the answer in his mouth had to turn a corner and become: "No, actually we had a little misunderstanding before."

He smiled awkwardly but politely at Steve: "The misunderstanding was cleared up later. You see, he was still willing to come and help."

team leader:"……"

He was noncommittal about the 'little misunderstanding' that Super Population called, and he doubted whether the conflict between the two had really been resolved.

"Forgive me, I really don't want to see two righteous heroes fighting each other. If Batman made the spear for you, can I understand that he ever wanted to kill you?"

This sentence is not euphemistic enough.

But the captain felt that Superman would not be angry. On the contrary, the son of Krypton in Metropolis was trying his best to explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly.Meanwhile, Steve really wanted to know, why would the...experienced Batman be hostile to Superman?He can't judge right from wrong based on how good or bad a person's attitude is towards another, but at least there may be something behind it.

Superman answered him.This is the convenience of talking to candid people.

"Not at all." Moses didn't want people to understand him and Batman as a hostile relationship at all, which would only be bad for his future cooperation plans. "At first, Bat didn't know that kryptonite could kill me."

When he said this, he felt guilty for a moment, but he immediately became confident: Batman really doesn't know!Batman thought he was dealing with villains!

"Afterwards I did some tests with him - because he was good at them - to understand my own limits and weaknesses, like lead and kryptonite, which I started collecting after that."

This also makes sense.

Then Superman and Batman's acquaintance may have been an accident.After resolving the misunderstanding, they became trusting friends in just half a month... To be honest, Steve has tried his best to convince himself to believe every word of this superhero who is honest no matter how he looks at it. Think without a brain, with the shield you keep at home!He didn't think Batman could trust a Kryptonian for half a month.

Either Superman was lying, or there was something hidden in it.

The problem is that Superman feels too glorious.

Steve still remembers the expression of relief and sadness he showed when he held the six or seven-year-old little girl to the ground just now and watched the child trot home and call out his mother's name.There is a reason why Superman is loved by most of the Cosmopolitan for half a month... few people would want to refuse to trust such a person.

Even if you know that he is an alien, his background is unknown, and his strength is strong enough to pose a threat to human beings, but reason and emotion are two different things, you have received his love and protection with ease, it is hard not to put your heart to him.

Of course this doesn't include Batman.

The captain glanced at the news headlines in the newspaper basket at the corner of the table, and added in his mind: Lex Luthor was not included.

And Steve just doesn't want to wonder.

"You didn't know your weakness before?" He changed his tone more relaxed, "That's very dangerous. At least you should learn to hide your weakness before facing the enemy. This is the way of survival I learned on the battlefield."

"Unless you have recently acquired the ability..."

Captain America's voice fell silent again.

Because, heck, the thing that makes it so hard not to curse is that Superman is literally riddled with logical holes.This is no longer something that can be solved by changing the subject.

Superman is certainly not a recent acquisition of superpowers.

Look at his proficiency in dealing with the enemy's movements and saving people-Superman knows what kind of consequences his power will cause, and he is trying his best to avoid it, trying to gather those damages to himself.Also, General Zod had partial powers after only a few minutes in the sun, and Steve remembers the Kryptonian with the uncontrollable red light in his eyes saying to Superman: Is this what you feel every day?Kal-El?

The unacceptable pain made General Zod look crazy at that time, completely different from Superman.

So the matter came back to two problems.

One, as Lois Lane blurted out: How did Superman grow up from Earth without adoptive parents?

Second, if he wasn't lying, how could Superman have lived on Earth for so many years without knowing his own weakness?Even if he was lucky and never encountered kryptonite, what about lead?This is a common metal.

Maybe it's my misunderstanding.thought the captain.Or maybe it was just a slight slip of the tongue on Superman's part to bring up kryptonite alongside lead.

Moses immediately understood what the other party was struggling with.

Don't doubt Superman's IQ, he has never been stupid, but rarely thinks from the perspective of a planner.After discovering the contradictions in his behavior and words, after a few seconds of brainstorming, Moses decided to choose the simplest and crude explanation to cut the mess quickly: "I don't remember."

[-]% truth, Batman can't find water.

Superman's expression is relaxed and innocent.Obviously he is the protagonist of the whole incident, but he spoke with a usual tone of relief: "Maybe I have seen kryptonite before, but you know, kryptonite radiation has a great impact on me, maybe I have forgotten something The knowledge to know."

Simply perfect.

He kept his own smile thinking.

In this way, if someone brings up the peculiarity of his behavior, he can easily fool it.

Alas, that's the hard part of being Superman, because the Metropolitan hero is always on the lookout.Batman doesn't need to dwell on related topics... maybe?

"Sorry," Steve said.

He reconfirmed that, in any case, Superman couldn't be a bad guy, or in popular parlance: a supervillain.

"It's all right. I don't think it affects anything."

The hero in the red cape patted his arm, "Thank you for your concern too. As I wrote in the interview, I like the earth very much and I am happy to live in this city. But if you need help anywhere in the world, just Call 'Superman' and I can hear you."

The captain stood up and laughed: "It's so convenient."

"I think so too. It can save a lot of phone bills."

After speaking, Moses looked at the sky.

"It's getting late, I still have something to do. See you next time, captain."

"See you next time, Superman... wait, one last question."

"what?"

"Do you already know Batman's true identity?"

"Of course." Superman, whose feet had left the ground, winked at the captain who was still standing on the ground with his hands folded and his head up. "I told you, he is my best friend."

His figure disappeared under the gradually rising full moon.

**

"friend."

In a subsequent internal meeting of the Avengers, the captain casually mentioned this "encounter", and Iron Man scoffed at Superman's statement.

"I would rather believe that he saw through Batman's mask, and then the two fought. During the period, Batman wanted to kill Superman at one point, and some coercion and other incidents occurred in the middle, so they had to shake hands and make peace."

The captain immediately noticed the pertinence in his words: "You think Superman threatened Batman?"

"I didn't say that."

"It's impossible." Black Widow, who just came back from the mission, interjected, "First of all, Batman cannot be coerced. Secondly, Superman is unlikely to coerce others."

"You know again?"

"It's your prejudice against Superman."

The large lounge was silent for a while.

Tony said: "Do you know? A month ago, I told Bruce Wayne that Luthor's superhuman threat theory was only to satisfy his ambitions. A month later, I actually began to think that what the bald man said made sense."

Natasha: "Luther went bald? When? While I was on a business trip?"

The captain rubbed his brows and sighed: "No, he's not bald yet... But Tony always said that it will happen sooner or later, and he even made a program to predict that Luthor's hair will completely fall out in a few months."

"On the premise that I didn't study hair technology." Iron Man corrected him.

"You haven't seen Superman. He's really powerful," Steve struggled to shift the subject to the point. "I can understand your wariness, but your evaluation doesn't do him justice."

Both pairs of eyes in the room were on him.

"Okay, I see." Iron Man stretched out an index finger, "Should we just treat him as Captain America who can fly?"

"No, Captain America is not an adjective. I can't explain in a few words, but you really shouldn't miss his battle with General Zod. I think as long as you are the one protected by him, you can easily understand why people trust Superman. .”

Steve thought for a while and added,

"And he has a really good relationship with Batman — ignore the kryptonite spears. I get the sense that Superman sees Batman as a comrade he can deliver on his back."

"Okay." At this point, Natasha began to smooth things over, "According to what the captain said, we will have many opportunities to observe him in the future. And the captain is right, Superman is not our enemy—" —Loki is. Thor said his brother escaped from Asgard, which is what the Avengers need to focus on next."

The chaotic family relationships of the Norse gods aside, they didn't expect the opportunity to observe Superman to come a little sooner than expected.

Lex Luthor, the Cosmopolitan billionaire and philanthropist, has made some sharp and unfriendly remarks about mutants and other superhumans before, but mostly stops at the verbal exchange.

The appearance and permanent presence of Superman seemed to have stimulated him, making some tentacles of the Lex Group come alive at once.
