[Superman] Number One Enemy

The remote smashed a hole in the screen.Clark hugged Brandon, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Please, why are they?" Audrey asked, her tone unusually calm, "It's like this once or twice. They keep saying that the country doesn't need superman or superheroes, and when the war breaks out, they immediately forget what they said earlier. Some lives are saved, and others cry about injustice. No one is ever grateful, and no one thinks they can do something after being saved."

"Sweetheart?" Natasha stared at Audrey, narrowed her eyes slightly, and lowered her tone.

Audrey turned her head and stared at Natasha, her eyes flushed.

"I hate them for taking advantage of you," she said, pointing to the TV, her voice more aggrieved than ever. "I hate these people. They don't appreciate it."

Natasha sighed, got up and walked over, hugging Audrey.

"It's not the same thing, baby. It's not like the last time we got rid of Hydra."

Clark recalled that he read the report earlier, and there was indeed a story about S.H.I.E.L.D.’s disbandment and reorganization in order to eliminate internal personnel. During the process, the Avengers were all arrested for hearings. They used to work for the Russian undercover Black Widow and Hydra. The Winter Soldier, and Captain America bear the brunt.

"Mommy is mad," Brandon whispered into Clark's ear.

Clark glanced at the child and nodded, "I found out too. Then you come down first, and we go to comfort your mother together, shall we?"

Tasha looked back, and her eyes signaled that Clark should not hurry over.Clark led Brandon close to Audrey, and took his lover from Natasha's arms.

Audrey covered her face with her hands and kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm down.

Clark allowed himself to smile, holding Audrey's face in his hands, staring down at her.

"How could they think you killed those people?" Audrey murmured.

"I don't care what they say." Clark comforted, looking seriously into Audrey's eyes.

"But they shouldn't say that." Audrey emphasized, very serious and aggrieved, "What about those people? Don't they need to use their brains on TV now? They believe too much that even if they talk nonsense, they won't be prosecuted even if they break the law. If You kill people, you killed these bastards long ago. When their parents made them, they forgot to make them IQs, and the flaws in human genes are evident.”

Clark laughed, never thought that Audrey would have such a naive and irrational side.

"I really don't care what they say." Clark sighed, kissing Audrey's face. "They're going to have a hearing, fine. We have evidence, and physical evidence."

Audrey looked into Clark's eyes and thought for a while; Witness?Louise Lane.But physical evidence?

"Where did you get the physical evidence?"

Clark conjured a tin bullet from an unknown corner of his clothes.

"I picked it up from the battlefield. The bullet used by Kanyazov... don't touch it."

Audrey glanced sideways at Clark. "I wouldn't be stupid enough to touch the evidence," she said, then frowned, "but it already has your fingerprints on it. The Kyazov you're talking about is Luthor's man?"

"Ruiwen and the others have already obtained the name of this person, and they should be able to find out the information soon. If there is a hearing, I will bring the information and expose Luthor's evil deeds in public."

Audrey and Natasha exchanged glances and shook their heads.

"The question is, what evil deeds can Luthor expose?" Natasha asked, disapprovingly, "collaborating with local rebels, providing funds and weapons? Not to mention that this is easy to be trivialized legally, as far as the local residents are concerned. , Luther is like their benefactor."

"Kidnapping the young mutants? Don't forget, the mutants signed an agreement with the president. If you act to help the mutants, you will end up with a bloody suit. Unless you are going to join the X-Men."

Natasha was right.Clark is in an awkward position on Earth, whether it is legal, moral, or all aspects.He is neither human, nor mutant, nor has he joined the Avengers.Difficult to classify.

Audrey stared at the bullet, thought for a moment, then turned around to find a small seal bag, and put it in.

"Put it away just in case. As long as there is more evidence of Luthor's illegal activities, this bullet will come in handy. At least it will prove that you weren't the one who fired the shots. Anyway, Clark, when will you learn from Bringing back physical evidence from the battlefield? You've never done that before."

Facing Audrey's suspicion, Clark laughed dryly, winking with Brandon secretly behind Audrey's back.

...Can he say it was because he promised his son and brought a real bullet to show the child? !

Clark swears that he will never relent in the future and agree to Brandon's dangerous request, although this time Brandon's desire to see the bullet accidentally helped him.But what if Brandon wants to see a dead monster or something next time?That can't be hidden from Audrey.

As they expected, Kenyazov's identity was soon revealed; he was a Russian, engaged in the illegal business of smuggling drugs and firearms, and was also the leader of a mercenary group based in Gotham port.

Gotham.Batman's Gotham.

That's unfortunate.

"That means, we have to work with Wayne," Steve said.

"Or can we just say hello to him?" Clark remained hopeful.

"Hahahahaha." Tony laughed out loud.

The others looked at Tony in silence.

"Let's just admit that Batman isn't easy to talk to at all," Riven said, rolling her eyes at Tony coldly. "Enough Stark, are you done laughing?"

Tony pouted, disapprovingly.Steve sighed, rubbing between his brows with a headache.

"The fact is that Batman's permission is required to enter Gotham to fight crime, no matter who the criminal is or how many cases he is involved in." Natasha said, looking at Audrey.

"He's a control freak," James said, also looking at Audrey.

"Bruce is a bit obsessive-compulsive..." Audrey tried her best to speak neutrally, but, "Why are you looking at me in that tone?"

"What tune? We're just looking at you. He's your ex-boyfriend."

"Yeah, ex-boyfriend." Clark emphasized the word ex.

Audrey decided not to comment. "Okay. I'll contact Bruce and wait for my news. He has no room to refuse, this is just an announcement. Give me the information."

Clark immediately frowned, and looked at Audrey awkwardly. "No need for that, Audrey. I'm going to talk to Wayne about it..."

"And fight?" Raven gave Clark a sharp look.

Audrey completely ignored Clark, packed up the documents on the table and prepared to go back to her room. "Are you guys staying for dinner today? Raven, Tony?"

"Okay. I haven't been with my godson for a long time." Tony agreed.

"You're arguing with Pepper." Riven sneered, and then replied to Audrey, "No, honey. I'll go back to college first, and I have classes in the afternoon."

Clark followed Audrey back to the room.

After closing the door, Audrey glanced at Clark with a puzzled look.

"I just...don't like the way he talks to you," Clark hesitated.

Audrey raised her eyebrows, understanding. "Don't like Bruce's unrequited attitude when he talks to me? It's okay, I don't like it either."

Clark lowered his head and looked at Audrey with an innocent, dependent, and possibly aggrieved expression.

Audrey had to stop what she was doing.

"how?"

Without saying a word, Clark hugged Audrey, letting her fragrance surround him and soothe his inner anxiety.When not using perfume, Audrey has the scent of acacia flowers on her body, which makes Clark nostalgic.

Audrey could vaguely feel Clark's confusion from the way Clark embraced her.She leaned in Clark's arms, gently stroked his back, and comforted him.

"It's okay, Clark. I'll always trust you."

Clark took a deep breath, and the turmoil in his chest gradually turned into calm after Audrey's words.

"Me too," he murmured, kissing Audrey's hair, "I love you."

No matter what method is used, Audrey quickly contacted Bruce and persuaded him to accept this cooperation.As one of the ex-girlfriends of the son of Gotham and Bruce Baby, Audrey is quite important, at least compared to other ex-girlfriends.Maybe it was based on Bruce's debt and guilt towards her, or maybe it was because of the tacit understanding between them; although they both knew that they didn't even have another night.

Around the same time, they found another opportunity to get closer to Lex Luthor.Clark can attend the public welfare activities of the Metropolitan Library as a reporter.

"I'm not sure if that's a good idea," Natasha said, as Audrey changed.She stood by the door, leaning on the high round table with her arms crossed, looking at Audrey.

Audrey was busy adjusting the straps of her gown, turning her back to the mirror, trying to turn her head.

"You mean Batman, Superman, Iron Man, and me at this charity gala at the same time? Considering I'm Batman's ex, Superman's present, and Iron Man's gossip, yeah, I guess no Toluther's idea. It's kind of weird."

Natasha walked over and helped Audrey close the zipper hidden on the side of the dress.

"He definitely doesn't just want to read gossip."

"Thanks, Nata. You think Luthor is trying to drive a wedge?"

Natasha raised her eyes and looked directly at Audrey, with concern hidden in her eyes.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as just sowing dissension." Natasha said, combing some strands of Audrey's hair that fell out of the bun with her fingertips, "Be careful, Audrey. Lex Luthor is unpredictable. And you Are you fat?"

Audrey stopped stiffly.

Natasha looked down, lingering on Audrey's abdomen. "Or not just fat?"

Audrey changed her face and immediately refuted: "No, it's impossible. I don't want it!"

"Again?" Natasha continued to tease without letting Audrey go.

"Don't even think about it." Audrey rolled her eyes and grabbed the long violet velvet cape that was hanging on the coat rack and matched the dress. "I definitely didn't win the lottery. Please, if I do, Clark will tell me. How could he not see? He has that, X-ray eye."

Natasha was amused by Audrey's messy description.Clark knocked on the door at this moment.

"May I come in?"
