[Superman] Number One Enemy

"You are my little angel too." Audrey made her son laugh, sitting on the sofa in the living room, hugging Brandon, pinching his soft and tender little face, "You are my little gentleman. "

"Follow your hero!" Brandon held up his hands, "I want to be your superman!"

Audrey looked at Clark in surprise.

Clark suddenly came to his senses. "No, I didn't teach him that."

The Superman dog ran in.Brandon jumped off the sofa and ran after the puppy.Audrey heard Steve's low cries and Brandon's laughter from outside. It sounded like Brandon was taking the Superman dog to attack Steve.

"I'm about to leave." Clark looked up at his watch. "09:30. Brandon is going to bed."

Audrey was still sitting on the sofa, looking at Clark, just looking at him.

Clark didn't move, just looked at Audrey, just looked at her.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

half an hour.

"...I'll take you out." Audrey stood up nonchalantly.

"Thank you..." Clark smiled hesitantly, pointing to the French windows, "I usually go there."

At this time, Audrey thought, in fact, she didn't know what she was doing. Just now, she was fascinated by Clark's eyes that were too gentle and profound when he stared at her...

At this time, Clark thought, in fact, he didn't even know what he was doing. Just now, he was fascinated by Audrey and Brandon because they were too cute and beautiful...

Not good.Very bad.Both of them raised the alarm in their hearts at the same time.

With the lessons learned from the past, Audrey knows that in the face of this kind of bad situation, it is not shameful but useless to escape.The last time she avoided Clark and went on a blind date, but Clark actually rushed to the restaurant to sabotage and said something terrifying, which made her rationally disconnect and shoot in the restaurant.

She couldn't do the same embarrassing thing this time.Even if you want to beat Clark hard, you have to do it in private.

Audrey put Brandon to bed that night.In fact, Brandon doesn't need to be coaxed very much. He will sleep by himself obediently. It's just because he doesn't see Audrey much, so he relies on Audrey and wants her to accompany him.

"Honey, can Mommy ask you something?"

"what?"

The mother and son were lying on the bed, Brandon nestled on Audrey's chest, and Audrey gently hugged Brandon.

The child's bedroom is painted sky blue, the walls are painted with white clouds and the sea, yellow birds and pink flowers, and small houses with red roofs on the shore.After the lights are turned off, the Milky Way star sea will appear on the ceiling, and the round sun and cloud night lights hang beside the bed.

Audrey looked up and looked at the mosquito net on top of the bed. The white linen fabric was glowing a slight warm yellow under the rendering of the night light.

"Why do you want Superman to be your father?"

Audrey has been curious about this question for a long time.Deducting such unscientific nonsense as the connection between father and son and the invisible bond in the blood, Audrey knew that Brandon must have a reason for his fancy to Superman.Not just because he worships Superman.

Brandon moved.Audrey lowered her head and saw Brandon's eyes wide open, and a seriousness that didn't match his age appeared on his immature face.

"Because he's Superman," Brandon replied, without thinking. "Superman has been protecting everyone. He's very powerful. He should protect us too."

Audrey was taken aback.

"I'll protect you baby." She kissed Brandon's forehead, confused by her son's reasoning. "Don't you feel safe right now?"

"No." Brandon turned his head slightly and looked at Audrey seriously, "I'm safe because Mommy, Nata, Bucky, Steve, Aunt Raven, Uncle Charles, and Tony, Everyone will protect me."

"But nobody protects Mommy."

Audrey's nose was sour, and her eyes were red.

Although some of Brandon's words are not expressive, she still understands.

"Someone will protect me. Your Grandma Nata, Uncle Bucky and Uncle Steve will protect me, and Tony, Charles, Raven..."

"That's different." Brandon frowned, with a very serious expression on his small face, "Bucky and Nata, Steve and Shield, Aunt Raven and Uncle Hank, Tony and Aunt Pepper, Charles has a lot of kids...everyone is busy. We need someone who will be there for you, protect you, be awesome, make you happy. You are tired every day and I want to help you."

Audrey took a deep breath, swallowed the urge to shed tears, and asked again: "So, why do you think Superman is suitable for us?"

Brandon frowned and began to think. "Because... Superman looks amazing. He's strong. He's an alien. He has magical powers. He does good things and doesn't make you sad. The girls in my class like him and think he's handsome. And he Always smile at everyone."

"Laugh? Is that the point?"

"This is very important. The teacher said that if we smile at the world, even if things are just as bad, the world will be better. Mommy, you usually don't smile. It's not good. I'm worried about your depression."

Audrey couldn't help but laugh. "You know what depression is?"

"Superman is kind," Brendan whispered, nestling in Audrey's arms. "He'll be good to you and make you happy. We can trust him."

"No need for Superman, baby. You've already done it." Audrey whispered, rubbing her jaw against Brandon's hair. "You're my little hero."

After Brandon fell asleep, Audrey left Brandon's room.She went downstairs and found that Natasha was still awake, on the sofa in the living room, holding a laptop, researching the route of the next mission.

"Nata." Audrey leaned over, sat down beside Natasha, and acted like a baby against her.

Natasha didn't take her eyes off the screen. "What did Superman say to you?" she asked.

Audrey sighed. "You already guessed everything, didn't you?"

Natasha chuckled. "You know...it reminds me of when you were a kid," she said, looking sideways at Audrey tenderly. "When I first adopted you, you were so closed and clinging to me all day."

"So you threw me at summer camp," Audrey said, sitting up straight.She remembered it.

"You can't just follow me all day, and I can't take you everywhere." Natasha shrugged, "And, I know that Howard's son will go. You are similar in age and complementary in character and can be friends."

"...You just want to find a high-profile person to force me not to be so self-closing."

"That's because I love you, Sweet Pie. I want you to be happy."

Audrey was stunned, and lowered her head silently.

Natasha patted Audrey's head and asked, "Remember why you wanted to join S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Of course Audrey remembered this.The reason is that once, Natasha was seriously injured in a mission, and she has a scar on her waist ever since.Bye bye bikinis.

"I want to help you."

"Yeah, you wanted to protect me. But then we decided not to. Why?"

Of course Audrey remembered this too. "Because... you want to protect me."

"That's right." Natasha raised her eyebrows and ruffled Audrey's hair.

Audrey pouted.After all these years, Natasha still likes to mess up her hair.What the hell kind of fun is that.

"Don't look at that face from the boss, it makes people feel cold. Do you know why Steve is not interested in you? That's why."

"... Natasha, can we stop talking about Steve? I regret letting you know that I admired him as a child."

It was just an ordinary day.

Around the same time, Clark arrived at the office.Call the people in the ministry for a morning meeting before starting the machine.

The female colleagues were chattering about whether the day after tomorrow is White Day, should they plan to discuss this festival, about the customs of Valentine's Day in Asian countries, and the differences with locals, etc.

While thinking about the good proposal and where he should find the information, Clark sat behind the scenes and watched the anchor complete the report.After the end, his colleagues invited him to a nearby bar, but he declined because he wanted to have lunch with Audrey.

Then he saw Audrey at the corner of the stairs.

Basically, everyone in the entire building took a detour and fled quickly when they saw Audrey.Clark's colleagues all ran away at once.Audrey didn't care when she found out, she just came to find Clark.

Clark looked at Audrey, left the corner, and walked towards him with his head held high, his expression calm.He could see that Audrey had come prepared, and that terrible things might happen next. Even so, at this moment, Clark was still slightly distracted by Audrey's beauty.

"Have you had lunch?" Audrey asked, tilting her head slightly.

"Not yet." Clark replied, staring at Audrey, "I'm waiting for you."

All the nearby employees who heard the conversation pretended to be deaf and hurried away.

Clark saw colleagues in the distance making cheering gestures to him, and they were excitedly discussing with each other whether he had taken the wrong medicine and wanted to capture the queen. For the sake of colleagues, they would help him cheer and collect the body.

... what and what.Clark couldn't laugh or cry.

Audrey could know what those people were discussing without listening or turning around.She looked around with cold eyes, told everyone to shut up and work, and then raised an eyebrow at Clark.

"come over."

Clark followed Audrey's footsteps for some unknown reason.

They took the elevator to the basement.Audrey asked Clark to get in the car.

During the whole journey, Audrey didn't say a word except to ask Clark to bring the lunch box.Clark saw the car driving farther and farther, and his doubts deepened.

"Where are we going?" Clark couldn't help asking.

Audrey was silent for a moment, then glanced at Clark, "Picnic."

This word, floating out of Audrey's mouth, feels really super weird.In the passenger seat, Clark looked at Audrey in surprise and couldn't help but laugh.

"Why?" Audrey glanced in Clark's direction, "Brandon's school was closed early, and last night he asked us to take him to a picnic."

"So we're going to pick him up first?" Clark smiled, looking out the window, "Let me guess where... oh, we're going to Nicaragua Falls. The Canadian side."

"You eavesdrop."

"He's looking forward to it, Audrey. Stark is about to collapse from the noise."

The author has something to say:

On this date, Audrey is going to do something amazing. (mysterious laugh

Guess what's going on LOL
