[Superman] Number One Enemy

Audrey stared at Clark, kept the same movement, without any expression, her eyes were enough to make anyone who knew her feel guilty.

Clark struggled to gain his footing.But his expression has revealed that he is quickly reflecting on whether he was on the wrong team just now.

"Sounds like a good idea." After a while, Audrey said.

Clark's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously.

"That's right, that's a good idea."

"Actually, that's pretty much what I thought," Audrey continued.

Clark sparked hope and smiled.

"Great, then we-"

"But, no." Audrey said calmly, looking at Clark, "I just didn't do what you expected."

At that moment, Clark was dumbfounded.

"……Feel sorry?"

Audrey looked calm and spoke calmly. "Didn't you hear clearly? I said, I'm going to play against you."

Clark tilted his head.Clark was taken aback.

Then, under Audrey's incomprehensible gaze, Clark couldn't help but laugh.

Clark smiled.

He actually smiled? !

"...I don't see how it's funny." Audrey was puzzled.Where is the joke?where? !Point it out, she also wants to get to know each other.

Clark turned his head away, held back for a few seconds, still couldn't help it, and continued to laugh. "I'm sorry," he said, grinning, blue eyes shining like the sky under a bright sun, "I'm just...happy, that's the most capricious thing I've ever heard you say, I think it's fine... …I think you are cute."

In an instant, Audrey's brows were drawn into balls of wool. "Cute?!" she raised her voice, "Seriously, Clark Kent, what the hell are you talking about!"

Clark smiled and pursed his lips, flowers could almost bloom on his back.This successfully angered Audrey, and she would not call her emotions at this time annoyed.

"If you're trying to provoke me and make me change my plan, you won't succeed." Audrey said bitterly, glaring at Clark with dissatisfaction, "This trick is useless."

Clark's eyes widened with innocence on his face. "No, I didn't think that way, I really thought you were—"

"How dare you say that word!"

This time, Audrey couldn't deny it anymore, she almost screamed to stop Clark from calling her cute.This is a forbidden sentence, only... only Nata can say she is cute!This alien is simply audacious!

Clark was holding back a laugh.He was just holding back a laugh. "Okay, I won't say anything."

Audrey was so angry that she wanted to take off her high heels and hit Clark with her shoes. "In short, no matter what you say, I won't let you follow the news in the Indian Ocean." She said, gnashing her teeth and glaring at Clark, "There's kryptonite there. And your enemies, do you think it’s appropriate for you to take Louise with zero force value? I don’t want to spend time and money to save you. Keep me as far away from the Indian Ocean as possible, Clark Kent.”

Clark opened his eyes again, surprised.

"Audrey, are you worried about our safety?" Clark was very moved.

"I'm avoiding trouble. I'm not worried about you." Audrey said coldly.

"You are worried about my safety!" Clark was even more moved.

Audrey took a deep breath, annoyed, "I just said that I just don't want to cause trouble for myself, don't you understand the earth language? Aliens."

"So...you already have information about the Indian Ocean. May I ask?"

Clark nodded and changed the subject.It seemed that Clark understood, but in fact, Audrey didn't know how the alien understood that passage.

Discussing the Indian Ocean is a serious matter, and Audrey immediately calmed down and became serious.

"Remember Zod's crashed Kryptonian spacecraft? Most of the wreckage was nationalized by S.H.I.E.L.D. at the beginning, and then it was privately purchased by Stark Enterprises and X Academy at a high price and linked to research projects. But there are still Some of the wreckage is scattered around, and occasionally one or two fragments are auctioned on the black market."

When Audrey said this, she paused for a moment, and looked at Clark with a worried expression of frowning.

"That's the problem." Audrey continued, pursing her lips slightly, "Someone is buying these fragments at a high price."

"Lex Luthor." Clark immediately guessed, "You said there are my enemies in the Indian Ocean...he sent people to collect them there?"

Audrey didn't fully admit or deny it. "He's buying a lot of Kryptonian mothership fragments, and we don't know why." Even Luthor took the risk to find Bruce to cooperate, there must be something wrong.

"Luther...Okay, I see." Clark murmured, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his face was serious.

"Is this information from S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Academy of X know about this, and nothing can be hidden from Jarvis. I think what you should worry about is who else is interested in this matter."

Audrey's answer, which skillfully avoids Bruce's part, hints that there are others interested in the wreckage.Bruce hadn't made up his mind yet, and she should keep silent.The reason why she chose to talk to Bruce first was to stop the dispute between Superman and Batman in the cradle, but she just failed once.Now she doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes, she has done enough of the superfluous things.

And, she didn't want Clark to find out, she talked to Bruce.Clark had no idea what she had said to Bruce three or ten minutes earlier.

"I understand, I will pay attention. By the way, Luthor has something to do with the local civil war in Nairomi, Africa." Clark paused, then asked again: "Have you found out more information? I don't have too much information here. So much progress, no clear evidence can be found.”

Audrey inhaled. "I'm pretty much the same here," she said helplessly. "Luthor is very cunning. To be honest, he is someone I don't want to be my enemy. I really hope someone can kick him out of the atmosphere, so at least I don't have to be in the same place anymore." Fighting him in the mall. After all, I would rather commit suicide than compromise with him.”

Clark laughed and looked at Audrey seriously.

"Someday," he said, "I promise."

In fact, Clark was a little surprised.

What he meant was that Audrey had someone she didn't want to fight in the mall, and that guy was Lex Luthor, which wasn't surprising, because that guy was really narcissistic, arrogant, and smart enough to Crazy controller.

But Audrey would actually say it.

Isn't that a little... out of line with Audrey's image of a perfect, decathlon strong woman?

In any case, Clark was particularly pleased.Audrey began to be willing to show her weak side in front of him, although she still didn't like to admit it, but there was progress!He could feel the distance between himself and Audrey getting closer.

Especially the fact that she worried about his—well, maybe Louise's—safety and didn't admit it, and her denial of her cute, almost seductive little caprice, filled Clark with hope and joy.

At this time, Clark hadn't imagined that when he appeared in Audrey's office in a superman costume and was bumped into by Louise, it would bring about many troublesome consequences.

Until a few days later, Louise caught him at the corner of the company's escape elevator.

When Louise dragged him to the corner, Clark's first reaction was shock, and then he thought, this is not good.So he stopped and did not let Louise continue to lead him, and the two stood in front of the cleaning room.

"Louise!" Clark called out the other person's name softly, bowing his head, "What happened?"

Louise looked around, and after making sure there was no one else, she asked anxiously, "Clark, did she know?!"

Clark looked at Louise uncertainly. "Do you mean?"

"That night in her office," Louise said, implyingly, keeping her eyes on Clark, observing every detail of his expression, "she didn't respond to those secrets, and I believe that's because she didn't have to ask anything. I'm curious why you chose to tell her, don't answer me because you were her secretary."

In fact, it was really because of this; Clark thought, the intersection between him and Audrey was not because he was Audrey's secretary?

"I know Audrey has something to do with S.H.I.E.L.D." Louise continued, "She has an affair with Stark. Did she get your news from Stark?"

"She and Tony are just friends." Clark said without thinking.

Louise examines him differently.

Clark thought a few seconds later, "Louise, you... don't you think I have something in Audrey's hands?!"

Louise didn't answer, but her expression showed that she thought so.Suddenly Clark was a little angry.

"Audrey is not that kind of person." Clark said, because of her self-cultivation, she could still maintain a calm mind. "She is honest and kind, and has kept secrets for me for many years. You don't have to worry, I have a very good relationship with her."

Louise looked at Clark coldly.

"Of course. You're all about to kiss."

Clark frowned slightly; sure enough, Louise saw it all.

"Why do you care about these things, Louise?" Clark asked back.

Louise was taken aback for a moment and quickly realized. "Because I'm your friend from the beginning to the end. I don't want to see you hurt..."

"Are you sure that's what you have in mind?" Clark scowled. "You're married, Louise."

Suddenly Louise was speechless.

"I..." Louise opened her mouth with pain on her face, "I'm not sure at all whether you will return to Earth. In my lifetime, your decision to leave has never changed! Even if I propose a marriage contract, you still remain the same, you let I can't see the future!"

Clark lowered his eyes, turned his head away, and clenched his hands into fists.

"I promised it, Louise. You didn't believe it, and you didn't keep it."

"What guarantee? Said you'd come back to Earth for me? That's interstellar travel, Clark. Not a plane ride from New York to Seattle!"

At this point in the dispute, Louise raised her voice unbearably.Fortunately, few people pass by where they are.Clark felt the pressure in his heart.

"So I bless your marriage without any dissatisfaction, isn't that enough?"

"You should be dissatisfied!" Louise said, her eyes flushed. "I decided to marry you!"
