"I'm late."

In a remote alley in the metropolis, Batman walked up to Superman.

"It seems that you have solved it perfectly."

"Probably." Superman raised his hand and patted the dust off his body, "But this shouldn't be the end. The metal man's attack was just a trial, and Luthor must have a backup plan."

"See tricks and break tricks."

Superman: "Do you have a suit?"

"……what?"

Batman looked a little speechless.

"Can you lend me a set? The previous one is broken, and I have to go back to the Daily Planet. Louise saw me running out."

The man in black armor folded his arms: "I have the suit, I'll give it to you. What I don't understand is that you have many ways to deal with her, you just don't want to."

"That's probably the difference between Batman and Superman," said Superman.

"I don't think so." Batman paced slowly in place, "I even think you're expecting her to find out who you are—why?" His eyes were full of scrutiny and suspicion, even though there was indeed a lot of trust between them, " Is she special to you?"

The hero of the metropolis' eyes went blank for a moment.

"Don't ask." When Superman lowered his voice, the tone turned out to be very oppressive, "You know I don't remember. What do Nightwing and the others mean to you? How did you feel when you saw the red hood? We agree on this point that you shouldn't ask me questions that bother you."

Who doesn't know themselves?

Batman still doesn't fully trust Superman, which is normal - but he also feels that Superman's attitude towards Lois Lane is not right, and worries about whether this effect is positive?

Superman also said that he employed child labor and indulged underage gangsters!

There is nothing wrong with soul fusion being affected by the shell. If you want to dig out the truth of memory, you should start with your own experience.

Luther still won today.

Superman and Batman didn't fight, but they had a fight.

Moreover, the quarrel came out of nowhere, and Robin, who was watching, didn't understand it at all.

What is 'I know I don't remember'?Superman has no past memory?What did he mean by mentioning Nightwing and Red Hood, 'we agree on this'?

Can you speak well and not make riddles?

The pain of eating half of the melon without the following text is enough to make life unlovable.And it turns out that Superman does get angry, even though he looks a little sad when he frowns, his eyes droop, and the smile disappears from his mouth.

When Louise found Clark Kent, he was sitting alone among the ruins, with disheveled hair and crumpled and dusty clothes.

After seeing the female reporter, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to the stone slab on his leg and said, "Louis! Please, someone is here at last, can you help me remove this stone? It's stuck on my leather shoe." , I can’t pull it alone.”

"...I'm past the age where I would jump off the stairs and wait for Superman to rescue me, Clark." The reporter said with a difficult expression, "At least that kind of temptation won't happen today."

She got a blank response: "Huh?"

Louise's shoulders drooped, she sighed, and strode over to lift the other end of the slate: "One, two, three—up! Huh, why are you here?"

"Thank you. I saw a child get lost just now." Moses bent down and rubbed his ankle. "When I ran downstairs, I caught up with Superman fighting with that iron lump. The stone slab was overturned, which shocked me. Just had time to push that kid aside and that was it."

The truth is not far behind.

It's just that Superman saved a foolish little boy watching the battle when he was rubbed against the ground by the metal man.

The slate was still in intimate contact with the back of his head.

Louise looked at the cracks on the hard marble that had been struck with great force.

She looked again at the young man with clods of dirt stuck between his black hair and slightly scratched skin.He was not in high spirits, and looked a little depressed, and his blue eyes were not as bright as usual in the shade.

"This is a good thing." Louise thought for a long time, and finally said, "The child was saved, and you were lucky to be uninjured. It is worth celebrating."

Moses thought of his scrapped clothes, but his eyes didn't fall on the real thing: "I should have been able to do better."

Strange overhead added again.

Fortunately, Batman was well prepared, and even stuffed the plane with a cheap suit from a discount store just in case.

"Listen to me, S...Clark." Louise came over suddenly, gave him an impersonal hug, and patted him on the back hard, "No one can do better—no one."

For some reason, she looked up at the tall young man with moist eyes, and her tone was firm.

"Most of the time, humans don't ask themselves to be perfect in everything."

"You saved...you saved a child and helped him find his parents. This is the luckiest thing he has ever encountered today, possibly in this life."

Louise looked at the people not far away from them, who were talking and complaining in low voices because of fear or minor injuries.

"It's the same with Superman."

"Maybe I shouldn't say this sentence, because I am not a rescued person, let alone a passer-by who was harmed by innocent people. But maybe many years later, when they think back to this day, they will also be happy and proud because they saw Superman .”

And the young man who faced her sudden long-winded bombardment tilted his head as if he hadn't reacted.

His face, which was favored by God... maybe other gods, was shrouded in the sun with this movement.

The bright golden light swayed on the barren concrete and steel ruins, and also shone in his vast eyes.

"...Thank you." Moses said meekly with some confusion, "Superman will be happy."

And so the clear blue sky Louise loved so much cleared up again.

**

"I have an interview, Clark," Lois said to Moses after get off work a day later. "Would you like to come with me?"

"Ah?" Moses and her were squeezed into the rush hour, looking down at the news on their mobile phones. The hot headline a few days ago was that the intruder General Zod was imprisoned in the phantom space by Krypton Technology, and today he became a metal man and was arrested. Enthusiastic citizens were uniformed and sent to prison.Enthusiastic citizens turned their heads, "I'm not an intern, so I can choose not to follow you?"

"Not really. The main subject of this interview is Lex Luthor." She looked tangled, "You probably don't want to see him, right?"

"...as if you wanted to."

The Daily Planet is an old enemy of the Lex Group.

"Editor-in-Chief Perry has already divided up the tasks. One of us must go. Or I have a job to go to the Philadelphia branch to return visits to foster children. What do you think?"

"It sounds good, but is it really okay for you to go to the Lex Group by yourself?"

"I'm an adult now Clark." Louise laughed, "Besides, I'm in Metropolis, and Metropolis has Superman."

"—keep out of the lead," Moses said earnestly, "and call Superman's name if you're in danger."

"I will remember."

She sent the list and addresses of interviewed families to Clark Kent's mailbox, and the two separated at the intersection.After confirming that no one was paying attention, Moses rushed home, took a shower and lay down on the bed, held up the printed list, and estimated the time it would take to get from the beginning to the end in the normal mode of transportation.

The metropolis has been very peaceful recently, and there are no disasters in the world that require Superman to appear. He decided to give himself a short vacation before Luthor made trouble again.

The two identities of Batman are both resident in Gotham. Since the day Superman appeared, he has only been running between the metropolis and the universe, and occasionally went to other cities to save people and came and went in a hurry. It was the first time to travel in a normal way.

Philadelphia is located in the eastern part of Pennsylvania. It has a superior geographical location, prosperous business, and a strong academic atmosphere. The disadvantage is that the law and order is not very good-but this small problem is common in freedom, equality, and beauty. Moses, who has seen Gotham, adapts well.

The black-haired, blue-eyed young man wore a headset in one ear, walked on the sidewalk at a moderate speed, and spoke into the microphone that came with the headset from time to time.

But in fact, his earphones are completely decorative, and the inconspicuous bat-shaped communicator hanging from his collar is the key point.

"I'm standing in front of the University of Pennsylvania right now," Clark said. "You'd have no idea who I just saw."

"Who? You insist on calling me at this time?" It was not yet nine o'clock in the morning, and Bruce Wayne's still slightly sleepy voice reached Superman's ears, "Wait, Pennsylvania, are you in Philadelphia?"

"I'm here on a business trip." Superman's answer was very simple, "I took an overnight flight and landed at four in the morning."

To be honest, the comfort level of the plane is far worse than that of flying by himself.

But for the economy class booked at my own expense, I have to sit on my knees.

In the end Superman even inconspicuously gets his ass off his seat and hovers behind the plane to smooth out the annoying turbulence.

"God, airlines should frame pictures of Superman. So what's the point?"

"No point, I just don't think it's interesting to stay in one place all the time." The young man said briskly, "I think you will have the same idea, so I will tell you about my travel experience by the way."

"...I just went to the Metropolis yesterday."

"It's different."

Before Batman bursts out of the communicator in a rousing rage, Superman cuts off again: "I just said I met a famous person who's running against Lex Luthor for the presidency right now."

"Donald Trump." Batman responded immediately, "Have you met?"

"That's not true, I avoided it. It was a little accident that I rejected Luther's interview opportunity, and now I meet another person who may sit in the White House."

"The next time someone has to ask you what you think of the US government, answer them and say 'Don't look for the president in the trash can.'"

Superman was amused.

When he smiled sincerely, even with black-rimmed glasses, he couldn't hide his handsomeness. The young people passing by in the early morning cast admiring glances, and a girl who was jogging in the morning was eager to try and asked her friend to come and ask for a phone number.

The little reporter who noticed this quickly restrained his expression, and his back, which was straight for a while, became slightly bent again.

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest." He whispered, "You can still sleep when you lie down now."

"You did it on purpose." After Batman said firmly, he got up and got out of bed to change his clothes. "Who would have thought that Superman would be too fussy with himself?"

Superman said: "I've always only been concerned with myself."

The other side didn't reply.

But they all understand that this is a quarrel overturned.

Moses arrived at the first house marked on the visiting list around ten o'clock.In alphabetical order by surname, the full name of the recently adopted child is 'Billy Batson'.According to the system information, the host family that adopted him has accepted six orphans, ranging in age from elementary school to high school graduates, and Billy Batson is the latest one.

After confirming that someone was in the house using the power cheat, Moses stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

After a while, a young couple opened the door for him.

"Hi, I'm a reporter from the Daily Planet." Moses extended his hand to the host. "I made an appointment with you two days ago for an interview. Mr. Billy Batson...uh, isn't he here?"

It was only then that he realized that he hadn't seen the minor figure just now.

"I know about it," said Billy's adoptive father, Victor Vasquez, with a sad face. "I'm sorry, but we did schedule a return visit today, and we told Billy ahead of time. But he was at school two days ago. Got into a bit of an issue with another kid in my family and we couldn't get in touch with him after that."

"runaway?"

"He will come back," said the hostess Rosa firmly. "We will definitely find him."

"Did the police not take care of this?"

"It's complicated, this child has actually run away from foster families many times. You know, Rosa and I were orphans once, and we understand their reluctance to blend into unfamiliar environments, but after being teased a few times by the police I don't want to take care of this, anyway, Billy has never encountered danger every time."

"So that's it." Moses nodded thoughtfully, "There's nothing I can do about it. No, I won't go in. I have other work to do." He smiled friendlyly at the couple who tried to invite him to sit down, "Afterwards, I will take a look at their middle school when I have time, and I will help to pay attention when I encounter minors. Don't worry, there will be no problems."

"Thank you very much. This is the phone number, please contact us if you have any clues."

He walked away from this slightly old and small, but warmly tidied up old house, and walked towards the city center.While waiting for the bus under an overpass, the billboard hanging on it began to play Philadelphia news: "Philadelphia will also welcome a superhero of its own city? We have not yet learned the name or code name of this superhuman, and its abilities are also It's confusing. But judging by his actions to save the bus that fell from the overpass, maybe we don't need to worry about our position for the time being..."

Moses fiddled with the mobile phone navigation research and got off the bus after a few stops.

He raised his head and pushed down his glasses, just in time to see a young man in a red uniform holding up the bus with both hands in the video, with unconcealable excitement and shock on his face.

what?

Out of nowhere, Superman begins searching for this superhero with a somewhat...exaggerated expression.There are quite a few related photos on Twitter, and there is actually a collection of videos on Youtube, which I took by myself.This guy appeared carelessly in various public occasions, such as helping single ladies deal with thieves in the middle of the night, going to a convenience store to fight robbers for [-] rounds and buying more than a dozen packs of snacks, charging the mobile phones of ordinary people passing by while walking in the mall... …

Moses' expression gradually became more subtle as the information increased.

This new superhuman is always accompanied by a boy on crutches.

From time to time, I excitedly share with passers-by how amazing my companions are.

They seem to be very good friends... er, year-end?

Although it seemed absurd to say it, Moses didn't think there was anything wrong with them doing this. Some people were willing to remain anonymous, and some were willing to attract attention.If anything, not covering your face may increase your chances of getting in trouble.

But there are also many Chaoying who have exposed their abilities openly. Since they don't mind, maybe they have already prepared for it.

Superman has a tolerant understanding and support for his peers.

If there is a chance, he will consider saying hello to the other party.But if the situation does not allow, there is still time to get to know each other later.

However, Moses' peaceful mood was broken after just half an hour.

His next interview target lived in a luxury apartment in the city center. Before he could identify which building was the target, a blue glass window above Moses' head was suddenly broken.

Broken glass shards scattered in the air one after another, reflecting dazzling white light.Before the people walking on the ground could react, a bald man suddenly jumped down from the top of the building—and then flew up.

Superman:? ? ?

What about a good vacation?This is definitely not the daily life of ordinary journalists.

Before he could find a place to take out his uniform, another familiar figure ran over at a speed that ordinary people could not see with the naked eye.

"Stay away!" the Philadelphia superhero yelled at Moses in a dry, trembling voice, waving vigorously, "Back off! It's you, the one with the glasses, back off! Didn't see Is the glass from the sky about to fall?!"
