[Superman] Number One Enemy

"Haven't you realized it yet?"

Clark was taken aback, then turned to look at Audrey, "What?"

Audrey looked back and curled the corner of her mouth. "You were kidnapped by me," she said, raising her eyebrows slightly. "This weekend, you belong to Brandon."

Clark was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"That's my pleasure," he said, unable to hold back the corners of his mouth.

To be honest, Clark didn't expect that Audrey would let him join the Barnes family's family trip.

This trip includes Audrey, Brandon, Black Widow, Mystique, and Stark, who was forced to join because he kept himself locked in the basement and was worried by his girlfriend and godson.Previously, Clark had heard Audrey and Mystique discuss when to pick a day and take Brandon out.At that time, Audrey didn't mention him.

They first went to the Stark building, met with Stark, and then flew to the location together.Black Widow and Mystique were already waiting in that wooden hut.Clark was still not used to calling them by their names.

The hut is facing the water, Stark's property rights, and it is said that this house will be Brandon's birthday present in a certain year.

As soon as Brandon arrived at the cabin, he jumped up and down, jumping and rolling on the bed and sofa with excitement.

"Don't jump too high, kid!" Tony reminded.

Clark helped move the luggage into the house. When he entered the door, he saw Brandon jumping and almost hit the ceiling, and he was stunned.

"Which aspect of the mutant is Brandon...?" Clark couldn't help but turned to ask Audrey.

Audrey looked away and hurried past Clark. "have no idea."

Clark felt that Audrey was avoiding the question.He really wanted to take Brandon to be checked by Professor X, but he was afraid that Audrey would think he was nosy.

"He's as excited as a puppy who hasn't been out for a long time." Clark joked, as he accompanied Audrey and carried his luggage upstairs.

Audrey turned her head and gave Clark a sidelong glance. "He's a little dog, so you're a big dog."

Clark smiled, suddenly realizing, no. "Why……?"

Audrey stopped in her tracks.

Clark looked up and saw Audrey standing on the landing at the corner of the stairs. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and stared at him expressionlessly.

"I remember a guy who broke into a restaurant and ruined my blind date to be my son's father," Audrey said, arms folded, eyes squinted at Clark, "you better not tell me you're sorry , and, it wasn't actually a blind date. We just had dinner together."

Clark was stunned, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became brighter and brighter following Audrey's words.He even forgot the suitcase in his hand.

"You agreed?"

"What promise?" Brandon ran over and poked his head curiously from behind the wall.

Clark turned around, looking joyfully, back and forth between Audrey and Brandon.

"I'm your father now, Brandon," Clark said, unable to hide his joy.

Brandon stared wide-eyed, stunned.

"I'm your father." Clark repeated, ignoring the luggage on the stairs, hurried downstairs, picked up Brandon, and held the child up in circles, "I'm your father!"

The hall was filled with children's laughter and some silly cheers with Clark.This made Ruiwen, who was setting the dishes in the restaurant, Tony, who came in from the courtyard, and Natasha, who was walking upstairs, all exchanged a look with the same knowing expression, shook their heads, and looked at Audrey.

"...so stupid." Audrey held her forehead and sighed.

Tony pursed his lips, went upstairs, and patted Audrey on the head. "I thought you were going to tell him later," he said, shrugging, and then glanced at the Superman father and son, the Kryptonians, one big and one small, who had already run out of the hall. Did you notice that they gave you the same reaction just now?"

Audrey covered her face. "This is the part that breaks me the most..."

Throughout the day, Clark remained in a state of being so happy that he could fly [-] times around the earth. He wished he could take Brandon to the Great Wall, the Louvre Museum, the North and South Poles, and play in various places. He also wanted to take Brandon back to the outpost. His father looks at his son.He didn't care that he wasn't related to Brandon.He said he would treat Brandon as his own.

After dinner, Tony suggested that everyone go to a nearby country tavern for fun.Bring Brandon, of course.

This was Clark's first small family event at the Barnes's; the usual leisure time at the Barnes's didn't count, nor did festivities.The reason for saying this is that, until this moment, Clark didn't feel closer to Audrey.

It was only then that Audrey turned out to be an ordinary woman.

After removing the halo, Audrey is very ordinary.She was wearing a white round-neck cotton top, a washed denim jacket over her head, black jeans that fit her body, and carved short boots.

Clark didn't notice how much time he spent looking at Audrey along the way.He just couldn't help but want to see her more, the way she chatted with Natasha, Raven, and Tony, the way she smiled, the way she winked at Brandon, made the children happy, watched her eyes inadvertently pass over him, slightly bent mouth up.

This feeling makes Clark feel dangerous.

After entering the tavern, Tony and his party were warmly welcomed.Clark was surprised to find that everyone here knew them.

"We often come here, as long as we come to the hut for vacation." Audrey explained, introducing the members of the tavern to Clark one by one, and telling them about their relationship with this tavern.

"This is our secret base. The first time Tony and I came here was in junior high school. We met at a summer camp. The site of that summer camp is nearby... Now it has been converted into a tourist homestay."

Clark looked at Audrey, and picked up Brandon who was about to run away.

"You and Stark met at summer camp? This is the first time I've heard you mention it."

"Yeah." Audrey replied, eyeing Clark sideways, her tone full of helplessness, "I'm also surprised how I told you these things."

Clark looked at Audrey.He was about to say that this was a good thing, which meant that Audrey began to accept their friendship and was willing to let him know her better. In the tavern, people who knew Audrey came and took Audrey to the stage.

"What's going on?" Clark laughed.Brandon sat in his arms, also unsure.

The bartender looked in Clark's direction, his expression changed.

"You're Brandon's father?" the bartender asked, pouring a sparkling beer for Clark and pushing him toward him. "You don't know, your wife is a big star here. We watched her and Tony Grow up. Men here who want to court her can line up to the other side of the waterfall."

Clark froze for a moment and laughed. "I know Audrey is very popular," he said, looking at each other with some embarrassment. "Audrey and I are not married."

The bartender frowned.The bartender froze.

"What? You're not married yet?!"

"Uh...we're friends. Good friends," Clark emphasized, grabbing Brandon's tiny hand and waving it. "Right? Brandon."

"We are good friends." Brandon tilted his head and repeated Clark's words with an innocent expression, "Daddy and Mommy are not married."

The bartender looked at them with monster eyes.

The waitress who delivered the wine turned back to the bar at this time. "What?" asked the waitress.

The bartender turned his head, "This guy said he and Audrey are good friends."

The waitress looked from Clark to Brandon.Look at Audrey on the stage, then look at Clark, and Brandon.

"Oh." The waitress nodded and revealed clearly.She patted the bartender on the shoulder. "Don't worry. She'll take care of it."

The bartender frowned. "Of course I know, she's Cookie Pie. But that's ridiculous, don't you think?"

"No, I think it's interesting."

All the while, Clark didn't understand what they were talking about.As Audrey began to sing on stage, he focused on Audrey.He hadn't heard this song before, and the music started with heavy drums and Audrey's throw.Her pitch has always been perfect.

Brandon shook his little head to the beat, and beat his hands precisely to the beat of the drum.

Clark looked down and smiled. "You must have inherited your musical talent from your mother," he said, stroking Brandon's hair, feeling a little proud for some reason.

"Mommy sang this song. At home." Brandon turned his head, pointed to Audrey on stage, and told Clark, "She can dance."

Clark raised an eyebrow. "Wow. I really want to see Audrey like that."

Brandon turned his head and sang along with Audrey substandardly.Clark set his eyes on Audrey, and they met half a distance away from the tavern.

A subtle sense of familiarity emerged in Clark's mind again.

Clark still couldn't remember.Where did he meet Audrey?

Audrey interprets this new jazz-blues song with a thick and powerful voice.She sings, holding her hands up in the air with her right hand in a gun pose, resting her right hand at the upright mic, moving up and down with the pitch.

"...he was so intoxicated by her spell that I cried out, but it was of no use. I thought I was going crazy, that I had him first—oh Adeline, please be merciful, can you steal Take my everything, just please don't steal him. Put the gun down, please put the gun down..."

Clark didn't know who Adeline was, and probably she didn't really exist, but Audrey sang this song and looked so serious, which made him wonder if Audrey was thinking about Bruce Wayne.

Before the song was over, the style suddenly changed.

On the stage, Audrey turned her head and raised her eyebrows at the band members.

"You all have to challenge my limit now." Audrey raised her voice, and the words were mixed with the prelude of lyrical rock, "Jazz blues meets pop rock? Seriously?"

The audience applauded and cheered.The one who yelled the loudest was Tony.

"Go! You can do it!"

Audrey glanced sideways in Tony's direction, half angry and half angry.She turned her head and pointed her index fingers in the direction of the orchestra, "Okay, I accept your challenge."

Offstage, however, Clark was a little uncomfortable.

Clark had heard the song.The song is called Waiting for Superman.

"...she was locked in for days and nights. She turned the corner and looked back, and it didn't make any sense. She told herself, 'Yes, he's still coming, just later.'He's stuck at the dry cleaner, waiting to dry his cape.If life is like a play, it can't end like this, separation without a goodbye kiss. "She watched the clouds roll across the sky and spelled her name like Lois Lane..."

"She's dancing with strangers, she's broken and broken, waiting for Superman to come and take her. Take her, go anywhere, teach her to love, run through the skies for her. Save her before it's too late..."

Audrey always sang seriously.

Clark looked at Audrey, becoming more engrossed.

He knew Audrey was watching him.he knows.

And the emotions expressed in those deep, sweet, dark chocolate-like eyes made Clark puzzled and uneasy.

At that moment, Clark vaguely realized──

He didn't want Audrey to sing this song to others.

He hoped that the person Audrey was waiting for was not someone else.
