[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun

Clark Kent crumpled up the sandwich wrapper in his hand and accurately threw it into the trash can a few meters away, attracting whistles and applause from several skateboarding teenagers passing by.He shyly pushed his glasses, smiled embarrassedly, and walked across the road quickly.

The famous reporter aka Superman of Planet Daily frowned and sighed while looking in the direction of the police station not far away.

This is definitely an unusual day.

At dawn, when Clark was still asleep, some distinct sound broke through his neglect and woke him up.

The sounds of burning, explosions, sirens and fire engines roaring through the streets, as well as people's exclamations and sobs clearly announced that a disaster was happening.Superman quickly changed into his uniform, listened carefully, and realized that the voices were coming from an unexpected direction: the outskirts of the city.

Superman flew swiftly up to the clouds, following the place where the flames had ignited, with the light of day breaking through the clouds behind his back.

Maybe someone had notified the police when the accident happened. When he landed, he saw some thinly dressed people with obvious frightened expressions, crowded into the police car one by one.

Superman flew around the fire, extinguishing the fire with his frozen breath.At this moment, he felt that someone was projecting a bright gaze on him, and when he turned his head according to that premonition, he saw the blond woman who was the last one also got into the car and closed the door.

The two police officers were whispering on the spot. When they saw Superman flying over, they waved to him tacitly: "Thank you for coming in time, Superman!"

Superman slowly fell to the ground, and he frowned slightly: "The combustion is very full. I don't think there should be anything left in this building. Fortunately, there is no one inside... What happened?"

One of the police officers smiled wryly, without hiding it, and narrated in detail: "About an hour ago, a mysterious number called the police station, claiming to set fire to a certain state-secret research center..."

"At first, we thought it was some bastard who was bored and made a crime announcement, so we only sent a car to the police. Then, you saw it too!" Another police officer added, "That kind of intense burning is simply incredible. It happened in an instant. At that time, the first car had only set off for less than 15 minutes, so we had to send more police and called the fire station..."

The first police officer went on to say: "When we got here, we didn't see the kind of arson lunatics we imagined at the beginning, only a group of people claiming to be detained by NCR, this research institute, and used various methods to forcibly hold them here as experimental objects. , Those who managed to save themselves and escaped.”

"Just now we have preliminarily verified the situation. If the facts are as we have seen, I am afraid that the metropolis will be in turmoil for a while in the near future." Another police officer sighed and put his hand in his pocket to search.

The police officer who started talking patted him on the back: "Dude, don't be so sad, there is nothing you can do about such troublesome things, can you just ignore this kind of thing?"

He turned to look at Superman, shrugged and said, "So... that's probably how it happened, we've confirmed it, and there were no casualties. Is there anything else you want to know, Superman?"

Superman frowned slightly, shaking his head slightly.He has never expressed his position on the political struggle of human beings. After all the experimental subjects successfully escaped, this matter has been beyond the scope of his intervention, and the next thing is beyond his ability to know.

He turned around and was about to fly away, but he remembered something, stopped and turned around and asked, "How did those experimental subjects... escape?"

The police officers shook their heads and replied: "We are not particularly clear about the specific situation. According to several of them, a blonde woman should have been caught here not long ago. After subduing the leader He led everyone to escape. They all said they did not know the cause of the fire. More, we may not know until the investigation team of our police station gets the results."

Nothing seems unreasonable, it's just that the respectable strong lady deserves some help.With this in mind, he flew home and raced against time to catch up on sleep, planning to visit the police station as Superman after get off work.

But he obviously underestimated the news sensitivity of Editor-in-Chief Perry. Before the usual time to get up and go to work, Clark was woken up again, this time by the ringtone of his mobile phone.

Clark hurriedly picked up the phone, and on the other end of the phone was Editor-in-Chief Perry's angry shout: "A huge fire in the suburbs! It's news! News! I have a few acquaintances in the police station. There must be something hidden about this incident. Maybe it has something to do with Superman related! Now, come to the newspaper office to assemble within 10 minutes!"

No, this matter really has nothing to do with Superman... Clark smiled wryly in his heart, and resigned himself to get up and take a shower.

Super speed is always useful in life. When Clark arrived at the newspaper office, his colleagues from the morning shift hadn't arrived yet.Editor-in-Chief Perry seemed to be a little excited on the phone as if he didn't know what fatigue was.

Seeing Clark, he waved his hand and shouted: "Don't stand at the door stupidly, Kent! You will never know, I have acquaintances in the police station, this time it is very likely that a research institute is secretly conducting human experiments! It will definitely be the headline of social media!"

The little reporter still looked meek and bewildered. He adjusted his glasses and said in a low voice, "But...the investigation results shouldn't come out yet, right? I mean..."

"Of course! Of course!" Perry waved his hand impatiently. "Of course there is no result yet! That's why I asked you to come to the newspaper office early in the morning-news reports are not made up out of thin air!"

At least the news from the Daily Planet is not, Clark added in his mind, but some news are indeed fabricated.

"You, Kent, go to the police station and squat right away. I found out that the police officers in charge of this case are Ferry Justin and Monica Brown. Both of them have red hair and are easy to recognize!" Editor-in-Chief Perry spit He slapped the table violently and yelled emotionally, "Ferry and I know each other well. If you give me my name, he will reveal some details to you! Pay attention! Be the first time!"

Clark had no choice but to nod in agreement, grabbed the sandwich that had just been placed on the table, and left the newspaper office under the excited shout of editor-in-chief Perry.

That's why he was standing bored opposite the police station staring at the door at the moment.If it is the truth of the case, he actually has countless ways to know, but it is really unnecessary.

He simply let go of the restrictions and listened intently to the conversation between the interrogator and the suspect in the interrogation room.

"According to this information, you imprisoned more than [-] people before and after several years, conducted brutal experiments on them, and also listed future plans?" An angry female voice was an interrogator. Presumably it should be Officer Brown.

"I object to the insulting accusation of the experiment in this sentence. Our institution was jointly established with the National Academy of Sciences and the Intelligence Agency. The experiments are all reasonably designed to ensure the safety of the experimental subjects. How can it be said to be inhumane?" The smiling polite female voice came clearly.

Superman briefly used super vision to see through, only to see a thin figure with red hair in a white coat lazily leaning on the chair, with an arrogant expression and a little bit of disinterest.

Editor-in-Chief Perry was right...it's going to be big news.

"The so-called experimental subjects are ordinary people! Are these experimental subjects voluntary to participate in the experiment? Do they agree to be experimented? Have you confirmed the experimental procedure with them in advance? Have you restricted the freedom of movement of the experimental subjects? So far you still think Is this a legal experiment and not illegal detention?"

"Well, please speak to my lawyer for any further questions. I have the right to remain silent." The interrogator's anger was aroused, and the suspect covered his face with his hands as if feeling bored, yawned gracefully, and continued I don't know whether it's arrogant or passive, and I start to doze off.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Officer Brown picked up the documents and left, as if he wanted to discuss with his companions.Superman withdrew his clairvoyance and super hearing, and focused on the empty door again.

----

Audrey thanked Police Officer Justin who was in charge of the investigation, rejected the proposal to return the police car, tightened her suit jacket, and walked out of the gate of the police station.

Countless emotions surged in her heart, and so did memories.Her head began to ache less obviously, but Audrey was quite used to enduring it, and she didn't find it unbearable.

When Audrey Lewis began to regain consciousness, she saw in her memory another life... her own.

It felt strange, like another Audrey waking up from this body, and they were one.She is not only the Audrey who has suffered a lot in the flashpoint world, but also the Audrey who has grown up with laughter in this new world where time has been restarted—they are the same person, and they are a fork in the same place.

This is an ordinary and extraordinary world.She sees so many different things in her memory, things that make her smile: Justice League, Avengers, superheroes, peace, tranquility...

And Superman.Audrey didn't live in the metropolis, and she only saw him on the news in her memory.The Son of Tomorrow of the Metropolis.Miracles of the Earth.

He was so muscular and fit in the news, his much-admired man of steel reminded her of her Cal's scrawny form.It's good that Carl here didn't go through all that...he must be very happy.

She thought of Superman's bright smile and couldn't help smiling.What a world, such a right world, where she, her family, her Carl are living in the sun this time.From that moment on, Audrey had already decided to give everything to defend the stability of this world.

Then, she opened her eyes.She saw Pat Lawrence.She lowered her eyes almost instantly, lest too much emotion flow from her eyes—

That was the source of her pain for 16 years in her memory!How did Pat Lawrence, the fanatical scientist who studies transhumans, the paranoid doctor experiment on her and whisper to her that she would be free?

She remembered so clearly that the memories of those days and nights were churning in her mind, making her teeth chatter.

Like reincarnation, she once again saw Lawrence standing in front of the experimental cabin where she was bound, telling a fatal lie gently and firmly.Should it be fate?Is it doomed that no matter whether the world gets better or not, there will always be evil where the sun doesn't shine?So, what is this world like?Is it a false security?Or disorderly chaos?

Audrey's body began to churn, and a kind of unreasonable anger dominated her.It was as if she had returned to the gate of the institute, and had no other thoughts except to destroy everything that was evil.

In the sudden strong wind, Audrey walked forward with her head down, immersed in her own thoughts.

At some point, her knees trembled, almost bending downwards.Audrey's double memories tormented her thoughts, making her ignore her gradually weakening and wilting body.

Her hands trembled, and seeing that the suit jacket she was wearing was about to fall off, she reached out in time to hold her shoulders.

"Ma'am, are you okay?" An inexplicably familiar voice sounded, "No offense, but you look weak, I'm worried..."

The air around her felt it.Feel the familiar, warm body temperature that makes the air a little warmer.There was also a smell that was familiar to her, mixed with many smells that Audrey had never smelled before.Confused, she stood firm with the strength of those hands, and turned to look at the person coming.

"You are……"

who are you?

The man pushed his glasses cautiously, and introduced himself, "I'm Clark Kent, a reporter from the Daily Planet."

Audrey nodded with a puzzled expression, smiled lightly, and replied sternly: "I'm Audrey Lewis, an atmospheric engineer."

The person who called himself Clark couldn't help laughing, revealing two inconspicuous small canine teeth.so familiar.

She looked up at the black hair on the top of the little reporter's head, and the strong wind was still blowing.As a result, the air that was blowing on the surface of their bodies unconsciously got into the little reporter's loose clothes, and the wind swirled around his body, sending back everything he felt to Audrey.

A distinctive "S" shape came to mind.

Audrey was taken aback for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at him in astonishment.Countless thoughts raced through her mind, and at last she just thought: Ah... here's Carl, whose original name was Clark.sounds so good.

She smiled and replied softly, "Thank you, I'm fine."
