[Superman] Number One Enemy

At that moment, Clark looked at Audrey, feeling that this moment contained all the moments.

Yes, that's right, Clark thought, he never thought of himself as the "Superman" everyone was calling him.He can't even remember when his act of saving lives was defined as superhuman.Probably from when Lois openly called him Superman in the media.

Clark took a deep breath and gazed at his lover; his crystal heart, his morning rose, his love, his life, his light.Looking at Audrey, he could regain the ability to smile.

"Maybe I can't give you the belief that there is still goodness in the world," Audrey said, raising her eyebrows, "but I will accompany you to the end. This is the promise of the Barnes family."

Clark blinked in surprise, trying to hide the tears that nearly welled up in his eyes.

"No, actually, I want to say," Clark said with a smile, wrapping his arms around Audrey's shoulders, "you made me believe that's far more than that. On earth, I love you the most."

For two weeks in a row, the topic of discussion in all the news media was Superman and his behavior.

The pros and cons are opposed to each other.Every morning when I turn on the TV, there are politicians and celebrities.

"...we have to start thinking beyond politics.Is it really surprising that the most powerful man in the world is a controversial figure? 』

"Every act of Superman has political significance.To allow an individual to participate in issues at the national level, we should think deeply.Humanity has had more than one history of following powerful figures and leading to terrible endings, and following the old ways will only lead to great disasters...』

"Is he referring to Hitler?"

Morning, Barnes House, dining table.The TV in the living room is on the political platform.Natasha sneered coldly.

Steve glanced at Natasha and looked at James helplessly.James shrugged.

Hasty footsteps came from the stairs.Audrey walked down the steps with her bag in her hand, behind him was Clark holding Brandon, smiling helplessly.

"You really should have woken me up 10 minutes earlier. We might be late!"

"No, I won't be late, Audrey. You were very tired last night, I just want you to sleep more..."

"... For thousands of years we have created an object of worship in our own image, and all we have done is project ourselves onto him.The truth is, maybe he's not some kind of devil, or savior, maybe he's just some normal guy trying to make things right, right. 』

Audrey glanced in the direction of the TV and frowned, "Why are you watching this one?"

"Any turn," James replied, pushing the plate full of pancakes into the three empty spots.

"I don't have time for breakfast—"

"Never mind, Audrey. Natasha spent an hour making this, you sit down and eat before you go. No one at home?"

Audrey frowned, sat obediently under James' stare, and started reluctantly.

Clark almost laughed. "You won't be late. I'll take you there," he reassured.

Responding to Clark was Audrey's eyes full of resentment.

The question of Superman is still being hotly debated on television.Audrey was displeased with everything this morning, including this TV debate.

"Whose show is this?" Audrey asked.

"News of the Times, the current program group at this moment." Clark replied, without even looking at the screen.

"Why hasn't their CEO fired this program group yet?" Audrey snorted coldly, "No wonder they lost to us in both the annual appraisal and revenue. Rubbish programs have no value."

Clark smiled helplessly. "Actually, last year, their morning show still beat us..." He whispered the second half of the sentence.Because Audrey was going to be angry.

"Clark, should you rush back to work later? This should be your break time." Steve put down the newspaper and opened his mouth to save Clark.

Audrey recalled that Clark had flown back to be with her and Brandon during a break from work, so that they could see him when they got up, and no amount of dissatisfaction evaporated.Clark shoots Steve a grateful look.

"...Now we understand that human beings are not special in the entire universe because of Superman.He's there, an alien, among us, we're not alone...'

Brandon glanced at the TV screen.On the screen, astrophysicists are talking.

"Aren't there other aliens?" Brandon asked, looking at the adults in confusion.

Steve frowned and glanced at James and Natasha. "Strictly speaking, Sol is not an alien, he is a god." Natasha replied.

"Oh." Brandon lowered his head and continued to struggle with pancakes.Audrey squinted her eyes at the screen, and now the camera turned to another visitor, a senator with straight blonde hair.

"That's her." James nodded towards the screen and leaned back in his chair. "She said she would hold a hearing. She's been on TV a lot lately."

"The general election is coming." Natasha disagreed.

Audrey stared straight at the screen, expressionless and stern.

"Are you, as a U.S. senator, lightheartedly saying to a grieving parent that, yes, Superman could have saved your child, but on principle, we don't want him to take action?" 』

"Finally someone has spoken." Audrey said, looking at the senior reporter who was asking questions to the blond female senator.

Clark glanced at the person on the screen, and returned his gaze to Audrey, not paying attention. "Don't pay too much attention to what they say, Audrey. None of that matters."

Audrey didn't answer, just stared at the senator, waiting for her reply.

"I'm not saying he shouldn't act.I mean he shouldn't be alone. 』

Audrey raised her eyebrows, looked back, and looked at her family.

"Exactly the same as last time." James shrugged.Natasha and Steve disagreed.

"Then what else can we discuss?Do we have to have a Superman? 』

The senator was silent for a moment, then replied calmly, "We already have it." 』

Clark turned off the TV.Audrey turned her head and rolled her Natasha-like, slightly concealed eyes.They looked at each other, Audrey was calm and indignant, Clark was gentle and helpless.

"You know what? Honey, you're already late." Clark pointed to the clock.

"Just be late." Audrey replied, holding up the knife and fork, expressionless, "Anyway, everyone knows that we are dating. At most, you will have more nicknames from now on."

"..." Clark groaned.

Clark is not sure if Audrey is giving up on herself.But he was greeted back to the office with a sort of heroic ovation by all his colleagues—at least those on his floor.

"Let's put it this way, Kent, every day we are willing to help you automatically extend an hour's rest time like today, as long as you can make Barnes come into the office an hour late." Colleague A said excitedly.

Clark frowned slightly, and said with a wry smile, "No, that's not the case, this morning is because—"

"Don't explain, Kent. We all know what you've been doing for the last two hours at home. Is she cute when she wakes up in the morning? Will she act like a baby? Give her some more sleep?"

Clark silently recalled how Audrey usually got up, looked away, "No, actually, it seems..." It was easier for him to do this to Audrey.

Colleague C walked over and whistled at Clark. "Wow! Kent!" Then the colleagues in the whole meeting room let out a burst of good-natured and provocative laughter.

"...Alas." Clark sighed.He gave up on explaining.So be it.that's all.

Deducting the part that was used as a joke by everyone, Clark Kent's career has not changed due to his public interaction with his immediate boss.As for gossip, he doesn't care, anyway, his other identity has been hacked so much that he should go to hell, but he just feels sorry for Audrey being the target of the attack.

Before leaving get off work, Clark meets Lois in the elevator.Only Louise.

Clark remembered that White would accompany Louise before, and they were inseparable in the company. If I recall correctly, White hadn't been on a business trip recently. In the morning, his colleagues said they saw White going to Audrey's office.His intuition told Clark that something was wrong, but he'd be better off not asking.

The sixth sense reminded Clark to keep silent as much as possible.In fact, Clark kind of wanted to shrink back into the wall so that Lois would never come to talk to him.

"...He asked me for a divorce." Suddenly, Louise said.

The ominous premonition came true.Clark took a deep breath, his face crumpled inside.

"They're going to have a hearing." Clark changed the subject.

Louise looked sideways at Clark, not seeming to understand why she was talking about divorce and he was talking about hearings.

"As a witness, you may be called to attend." Clark stared at Louise and asked, "Will you be there?"

Louise frowned, half puzzled, half uneasy, "Yes, of course. I have also prepared a related report. Once the hearing is held, I will publish that news..."

Clark didn't listen to what Louise said later.Louise's words echoed in his mind—she will publish a related report.

Clark lowered his head and remained silent for a long time until the elevator doors opened.

"Clark?" Louise asked.

Clark looked up, looked at Louise, and pursed his lips. "Louise, I know the pen is your weapon...but have you ever thought that all this is a trap?"

Louise froze.

"It doesn't make sense."

"You are reporting on it, and you should know that... the government does secretly sell guns and weapons to local rebels, and it is the Lex Group that is responsible for this case. You also know that Lex Luthor has always targeted me. Everything It's all reasonable, Louise."

The author has something to say:

Clark loves Audrey like hell now

I think that's fine.Um.
