[Superman] Number One Enemy

"That incident stuck with me, and it happened on my high school trip."

Clark said, lost in memory.In fact, he never thought that he would mention this matter to someone one day, including Louise, who didn't know.

This was his secret, buried deep in his heart, yet it was so natural to mention it to Audrey.

"Every night, I hear the girl praying and crying. It breaks my heart, I can't stand her continuing to live in pain until she gives up her life."

Audrey was silent for a moment, then said, "So you?"

"I found her and took her to the police station." Clark smiled, looked at Audrey, and looked up at the starry sky.

"Honestly, until now, I still think about her. I hope, after that, she grows up safely."

When Clark said this, he lowered his head and looked at Audrey, who seemed to be falling asleep on his chest.

After thinking about it, Clark still couldn't hold back.

"I only told you and my mother about it," he said, embarrassed at the same time.

Awful.Why did he speak out?What do you want to express?Audrey is special?God, this is so presumptuous.Did Audrey say she wanted to be special to him?No she didn't.Clark Kent is just a subordinate of Audrey Barnes, a former secretary, and the adoptive father of the child. The last title is not only unreal but also has no status.

Clark wanted to go back 30 seconds and knock out the immature Kansas boy in his mind.He shouldn't have said that.

Fortunately, Audrey changed the subject.

"...do you remember what she looked like?" she asked, her tone flat.

Clark recalled seriously, shaking his head regretfully.

"I don't remember much. It seems to have black hair and bright eyes. Her father is really not a good person. You can guess just by looking at the place where she lives. She is drunk, beaten, and the furniture is not complete. There is no food in the refrigerator. I Gave her my coat and all the money I had on me, and a few cookies. The funny thing is, she thought I was Captain America."

Thinking of this passage, Clark chuckled.

"At that time, I couldn't tell her my identity, so I simply pushed the boat along and said that I was Captain America, and I came from far away to rescue her... I hope this didn't cause any extra trouble, and I hope Steve doesn't mind that I once Fake him."

"Um……"

Audrey responded softly, it seemed that she was really about to fall asleep.

Clark stared at Audrey, gently hugged the person in his arms tighter, and covered Audrey with his coat.

"I'm glad I did," Clark whispered.

Until this moment, Clark suddenly realized that since then, he has paid special attention to women with dark hair, including Louise.

Perhaps, he always wanted to find the little girl back then, and make sure that he really saved her.Clark thought.

Audrey was fast asleep.Clark carried Audrey off the roof and sent her back to her room.Audrey's room is furnished simply and elegantly, with large floor-to-ceiling windows and an extra-large double bed. The grayish-purple color is paired with brownish logs, and the plush carpet is very tactile.

He gently put Audrey on the bed.

At that moment, Clark wanted to touch Audrey—stroking her face with his palm, tracing her outline with his fingertips.

Of course, Clark knew very well that he couldn't do this.He held back, covered Audrey with a quilt, and left.

Now, things are obvious.Clark thought, closing the door.

He likes Audrey.

For Clark, it was very difficult to be patient and conceal his emotions in love.Whoever he likes, he will show it clearly, there is no way to pretend.

So here comes the question.

If Audrey knew he liked her, what would her reaction be...?

This assumption is scary.

What Clark meant was, uh, Audrey's ex-boyfriend, a man like Bruce.Then, her best friend of the opposite sex is a man like Tony Stark.Her ideal type is a man like Captain America and Stephen Rogers.Finally, her parents are men like the Winter Soldier.

... If you are in love with Audrey, you need to fill in the scoring form. The conditions of the form refer to the above four. How much score will he have?

At this moment, Clark was under a lot of pressure.

The holidays are over and the magic goes with it.They got back to their normal routines, Clark on his morning news and Audrey on her acting CEO.Every day they go to different floors, like two parallel lines without any intersection.

Clark was frustrated, but he didn't seem to be able to do anything about it.

Could it be that he wanted to rush to Audrey and confess his love to her again?No, that's not a good proposition, remember how Audrey shot him like crazy in the restaurant last time.

Well, no confession then.What else can he do if he doesn't confess?

Um.Can't do anything.

Clark struggled for several days, the theme of White Valentine's Day was over, and he still had no idea about the next step.

Kara was the first to notice something was wrong with Clark.

"Clark, tell me frankly, have you been rejected by Audrey?"

That day, Clark, Kara went to dinner with Jimmy, White, Louise, and several people from different departments. Besides them, there were many colleagues Clark didn't know well.They almost took over the entire tavern.

Typically, Clark walks around, chatting, saying hello, or at least a little socially, with colleagues.But today, he really just wants to drink alone.Even if alcohol doesn't do him any good.

When he ordered the third cup, Carla sat down next to him and asked the question just now.

Clark glanced at Kara and twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly.

"Haha, yeah." He smiled wryly, "She doesn't even know I like her."

In an instant, Kara's eyes widened, and her face burst into excitement...and gossip.

"You're going to confess!" Kara yelled, her joy palpable. "I'll just say it! I knew you liked her! You've been denying it!"

Clark quickly stopped Kara and looked around nervously. "Keep your voice down, Kara. You can't tell the world about this, it will be..."

Kara was a little too late to realize, "Oh, yes, this is going to get you in trouble." She muttered under her breath, looking at Clark awkwardly. "Sorry, cousin. I'll have someone brainwash everyone if necessary."

This sentence is of course a joke.Clark raised his eyebrows helplessly, shook his head and sighed at Kara.

Fortunately, the tavern was full of voices, and no one paid attention to their conversation.

"Low key, Kara. Low key."

"Okay, let's keep it low-key." Kara nodded, smiling almost hyperactively, "God, I'm so happy for you, Clark. This is the best thing ever! You finally found your happiness! What are you going to do?" Tell her later? Do you have any romantic plans? I've thought of several and I can help you."

"Karla, you need to calm down." Clark held his forehead, "Do you really understand the current situation? I like Audrey, but I just found out that I like her..."

"Don't listen to me until I tell you. You should trust my instincts."

"...It's my fault. The point is, do you really think there's hope for this?"

Carla raised her eyebrows and poked Clark's chest with her index finger.

"Here is hope," she said, a pun, alluding to the "S" standard on Clark's Superman uniform, which was so large that it occupied the entire chest.

Clark laughed. "Exactly." Then he sighed.

Kara frowned disapprovingly. "You're giving up hope too quickly." After a pause, she added, "Or do you need a little help? I'll help you, I'd love to help you, let me help Clark. This is awesome, I'm looking forward to it! "

Clark hesitated for more than two seconds.

Kara immediately narrowed her eyes.

"You've got that look on your face that you doubt I'm going to mess things up."

"I didn't say that?"

"But you put on that look. Hey, cousin, show me some respect. I'm a good assist. Believe me, I'm in the perfect location to help you get all the information firsthand. I'm Supergirl, and I changed your diaper."

Kara was elated and gesticulating, which was many times more active and excited than the party concerned Clark.Although Kara was well-intentioned, but...seriously, Clark was deeply disturbed by her aggressive reaction...

"Thanks, Kara." Clark pulled back a wry smile, "but I think I'll let myself do this first. Although I can't think of any romantic plans, it's still possible to show my sincerity. And, please stop talking about diapers. Please."

Kara slumped her shoulders in disappointment. "Well... Actually, I'm very happy that you have come out of the haze of Louise's marriage." She said, sighing, "It's really scary that you look depressed because of a broken relationship. It doesn't surprise me to become a villain and destroy the world. .”

"Yes." Clark was speechless, half self-deprecating and half ironic, "Then you should be more worried, because this time it seems that I am also about to break up in love."

"No way." Cara frowned suspiciously, "Audrey obviously likes you, but she is more difficult to deal with."

Clark didn't allow his heart to rejoice at Kara's casual remark.No, he can't be fooled.

"Her ideal type is Captain America." Clark reminded Kara, "Have you ever seen her very gentle expression when facing Captain America?"

"They're family." Carla dismissed, "She's been gentle with you, too."

... Is Kara's eye broken?Clark couldn't help thinking about it.

"Her ex-boyfriend was Bruce Wayne," Clark continued, "kind of, you know what I mean?"

"But they broke up anyway." Kara shrugged and spread her hands.

Clark scoffed.Well, that's true.
