Dressed in a superhero shell to save the world [Comprehensive British and American]

The chaotic and flustered situation became a little weird after Moses put on a Superman uniform and rushed back.

Shazam, the hero of Philadelphia, is obviously fighting the enemy, but he can't help but glance at the Superman flying above them.His opponent, Dr. Sivana, who had completely bid farewell to his hairline, also raised his head from time to time, with a tangled look of wanting to escape but unwilling.The onlookers were much calmer - they had already started to raise their mobile phones to take pictures and videos after hiding away.

Superman couldn't help worrying about the cervical spine of these overly relaxed humans.

He swooped down, picked up a demon unleashed by Dr. Sivana, lifted it up above the clouds, and dropped it hard.

"grumble--"

The demon, paralyzed into a pancake on the ground, let out a painful and angry scream.

"what?"

After discovering that although the creature in his hand was full of struggles on every line of its skin, it was indeed not seriously injured, Moses tentatively punched it on the head.

The touch is hard to describe, as if hitting in a lump of chocolate-colored slime.

"how about this?"

"Stupid humans!!"

The devil didn't open his mouth, and he didn't know what organ spit out English: "How dare you do this! Take your fist away from my face!"

"Sorry." Superman said politely, "What are you? Are you a native species on Earth? If you don't like fists, how about a tornado?"

He swung the unknown creature in his hand like a windmill, spun it hundreds of times in a blink of an eye, and then smashed it out.

The demon didn't look dead, but he was dizzy and couldn't get up for a while.

Shazam cheered from the side: "Good job Superman! You are indeed my favorite superhero!"

And the villain on the other side scolded through gritted teeth: "Why did you come to Philadelphia when you're not staying in Metropolis?"

This is a good question, who would have thought that it would be such a coincidence?

After driving away Dr. Sivana with the superheroes of Philadelphia, it was already afternoon.

They missed lunch.

This is not the point.

The point is that Moses discovered that although Dr. Sivana is a Doctor on the scientific side, he uses magic...and Superman, he doesn't know magic.

It's better to say that both the magic attack power and the defense power are all 0.

This is something that even Batman has never imagined - the Man of Steel still has shortcomings!Isn't Superman invincible beyond kryptonite?

Moses pupil earthquake.

In short, the appearance of Dr. Sivana and Shazam sounded the alarm for him. During the period, Superman was helpless against this slippery enemy. In the end, Shazam found the trick to make the opponent retreat briefly.

As the saying goes, fight magic with magic.

They landed on the roof of a bungalow, and the Philadelphia hero in red uniform looked around, cleared his throat and shouted to the sky: "Shazam!"

Then he shrank from a 1.8-meter-eight tall man to a middle school student who only reached Superman's chest under Moses' shocked gaze.

I seem to have seen it somewhere.

His super brain easily rummaged through his memory and found the photo in the appendix of the return visit list: "Billy Batson?"

Isn't this the kid who ran away from home in the first place?The one with five siblings in the family.

It turns out that children these days are actually going to save the world if they don’t go home!

The teenager looked at him with wide eyes, looking younger: "You know me? Wait, you are Superman in Metropolis, how did you appear here, and Superman knows my name?!"

He fumbled for the oxygen mask, looking like he was about to lose consciousness because of the sudden news.Moses hurriedly supported his thin shoulders, and roughly explained: "There was a couple who asked me to look for you before, and they were very worried that you would encounter danger outside. But I guess, your adoptive parents' definition of danger should not include fighting against Zhan Xi. Dr. Wanner and his seven original sin demons?"

Billy, who was still trembling with excitement, gradually lost his smile under Superman's serious gaze. His shoulders drooped, and he asked in frustration, "Did I mess it up?"

"No, you did a good job just now." Moses, who wanted to warn him to be safe, changed his mind when he saw Billy's depressed face.Anyway, the kid still mustered up the courage to stand up in times of fear and remind him that although he was still very inexperienced, he did have a hero's heart, "You saved everyone, Billy."

They sat down along the edge of the roof, Billy straight at first, but his back arched as the sun faded into the sky.

"I don't want to be a superhero." He said with his head down. "A wizard gave me his powers before he died, but I'm just an ordinary person."

"But you still stood up?"

"That's, that's because he wanted to kill me!" The boy still felt a little scared when he recalled the confrontation just now, he clenched the railing beside him excitedly, "I don't know anything, but he hates me just because I have the power he wants!"

Billy Batson casually recounted what happened to him during this time.

He is an orphan who has been looking for his biological mother.

He became the heir chosen by the wizard some time ago.

He was adopted by a new family, and he made good friends and brothers.

His brother is a superhero fan. Ever since he knew that he could transform into Shazam, he has been pestering him to do experiments, helping him a lot and giving practical advice.

They had a good time playing together, but eventually parted ways because the brothers always boasted that they knew Shazam.

The last is to face the enemy of life and death and fear like never before.Although Billy didn't say it, if Superman hadn't appeared just now, he would probably choose to escape in shame.

"... This kind of thing happens from time to time." The hero of the metropolis looked at him gently, neither encouraging him without substance nor contempt for his cowardice. Equal peers, "If you are really tired of all this, you can also never use this power from now on and be an ordinary person."

"That's okay too?" Billy tilted his head in confusion, "I mean, I thought you were going to tell me 'with great power comes great responsibility' or something..."

"That's up to you, Billy. No one else can choose for you, only advice."

"So, Superman... have you ever had a time like this? A time when you had power but weren't sure if you should step up?"

Moses said: "I have." He was silent for a while, as if he was recalling, but in fact he extracted the key words from some vague shadows deep in his soul, "I don't remember exactly what happened, But it could be that a girl is in danger. She's missing, but there's more nearby to do."

Billy tensed up as if he was on the scene: "Then what should we do?"

"I don't know." Superman looked at the sunset like splashing ink in the distance, and put his hands on the concrete platform easily, "I asked one of my elders, and he said that there might be extra people to save the little girl. Probably no one will ever find her. She'll just be there alone, hurt, scared, alone, hopeless..."

He didn't look at the complicated and confused expressions of the young people around him, and continued gently: "But I can also choose to look for her, and let her plant the seed of 'it's okay, someone will always come to save me'."

It is not necessary for people to rely on him.

But at least when facing desperation, people still have the courage to go on in the dark.

"So, you still go?"

"Yes. If I don't want to go, it's hard for others to interfere with my decision. But I can't convince myself."

Billy was silent for a moment, then said, "That's why you're Superman. You give people hope."

"There is always hope in human beings. I just help wake them up for those who have forgotten it."

"Then if you went to find the little girl, what should you do if there are more people in danger behind you?"

"At this time, I will choose to trust my friends." Superman raised his lips, "They are equally reliable, doing the same thing as me, and I just fly a little farther than them."

If young people realize something.

"I have to think about it...thank you Superman. Whether I'm a Philadelphia superhero or not," he smiled shyly, "I'll tell people that Superman helped me a lot today."

"Hands up."

"Hey... By the way, there is one more thing, can you please sign for me?" Billy remembered something again, "You know what? My brother bought one at a high price and said it was hit Your bullets, and he has Batman's Batarang in his hand, but I don't know if it's real."

Superman's expression became a little strange.

"Batarang?" Can this thing also be used for collection?

And how did you get it!

"Yeah," Billy said, scratching his hair. "I'm not a fan of foster families, but they're nice. . . Ah, I'm sorry."

He suddenly remembered the growth experience of Superman recorded in the newspaper, and his identity as a Kryptonian with no relatives and no reason.

But truth be told, Billy was an orphan, and he knew what happened to a child who was loved and lost.He also knows how those who lack care and guidance walk on the margins of society.

Superman rarely gives others that sense of helplessness and adrift.

People just rely on him unconsciously.

"You said earlier that there was an elder...uh, did I ask too much?"

"It doesn't matter." Moses signed him. "You know, there are many bad people in this world, but there are more good people."

The young man whispered: "But I'm still scared when I don't know them."

"—It's not good to know too much." Moses recalled that there was a mutant whose special ability was to read people's hearts. "All we can do is to examine ourselves, and then move forward according to the desire deep in our hearts."

"Maybe you're right," Billy said. "Thanks again. If I had the chance, I'd invite you to visit our house or our school." He blinked and grinned. "People would be amazed."

"No problem." The Metropolis superhero is quite easy to talk to, "It's a bit like an Easter egg at the end of a movie, a surprise for everyone."

Three days later, when Clark Kent finished his work and was walking back, he received a call from Louise.

The voice of the lady reporter was a little rough and nervous: "Clark? Where are you?"

"Me? On the high-speed train. I missed my flight this morning due to a small accident, so I had to transfer halfway. What happened?"

On the other end of the phone, Louise coughed twice before saying, "I'm not in Metropolis right now."

"You told me yesterday." Moses said inexplicably, "Because of solving Luther's interview, Perry gave you a small vacation."

"Yes." Louise replied.

But you would never have guessed that I went to Kansas.

She parked the car on the side of the road, clutching her notebook tightly in her hand, her fingertips were trembling slightly due to intense emotions.

Louise only spent one morning interviewing Luther.

Then she immediately rushed back to the Daily Planet, asked for leave with Perry non-stop, and then drove to a small town in Kansas, asking door to door if anyone had seen a youth who looked similar to Clark Kent.

The job took her three full days and two nights, with little rest.Whether or not Clark Kent is Superman, Lois gets a result.

Clark was lying.

There was a Jonathan and Martha Kent couple, but they never had a boy with black hair and blue eyes.

Jonathan Kent tragically passed away in a hurricane a few years ago.

Starting in May this year, Martha's bank account will receive a monthly remittance from an unknown source, which will be mixed into her pension.

Superman first appeared in May as well.

Louise felt that she had finally found the drop of water in the sea that she wanted to know.

Martha doesn't know Clark.

But Clark knew Martha.

Is it because that kind old lady helped the wandering Son of Krypton when no one knew about it?

She hadn't had a chance to clear her mind yet, calling Clark, or Superman, for another matter.

"You are on the high-speed rail, you probably haven't had time to watch the current live news."

"The metropolis is closed, and my car is parked at the intersection of the highway and I can't get in."

"A god who claims to be from Asgard and a witch from the Suicide Squad team up to kidnap the mayor and call for Superman to show up. Otherwise, they will attack ordinary citizens until Superman shows up."
