[Superman] Number One Enemy

Audrey frowned and looked at Clark cautiously.To be honest, Clark's emotional ups and downs made her feel strange, suspicious, and a little scary, and it made her even more worried about how bad the situation outside could be to stimulate Clark to such a degree.

"Should you tell me what happened just now? You acted like a genius just now."

Clark laughed. "No," he shook his head and refused Audrey gently, "I won't tell you what happened just now."

Audrey raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Clark just looked at her firmly.

Even though Clark really wanted to shake Audrey right away and ask her to please don't condemn herself for his mistake, as much as he loves Audrey, he feels guilty and wants to make it up to her ; However, Clark endured it.

He didn't want to scare Audrey.Perhaps Audrey always thought that keeping him from knowing the truth was good for everyone, and no matter what, he would let Audrey understand that it was never her fault.

He also didn't want this matter to become a regret between them.That's a dark cloud, yes, they can't change what happened in the past, but they can make the future better, he can make a blessing behind the cloud.

Clark had made up his mind; letting Audrey find out for himself that he knew the truth would be the best solution.He wouldn't let the past affect their love, their future, because Audrey was the best thing in his life.

"Are you sure you don't want to say?" Audrey frowned, becoming more suspicious.No difference, he didn't say it, she asked someone else.

Of course Clark guessed what Audrey was thinking.He has known and interacted with Audrey so far, and he already knows Audrey's behavior pattern too well. "No, I won't tell, and don't ask anyone." He smiled and put his arms around Audrey, kissing her forehead, "Sooner or later you will find out. Promise me, don't pry, okay?"

Of course Audrey was not very satisfied, but Clark said so.The bad news is that things are indeed getting worse out there; public opinion is raging and hearings will be brought forward.

They got the news from the news, it was dinner.

Audrey stared at the screen without touching a bite of food.Brandon looked at the adults uneasily, and after hesitating, he chose to fall into Clark's arms.Martha looked at Brandon lovingly, and helped him add food.

"It's okay." Clark patted Brandon on the back and looked at Audrey worriedly.

"They want to bring the hearing forward to tomorrow." Louise said in astonishment.

Audrey shifted her gaze to Louise. "Yes, we all heard that," she said coldly.

Clark glanced at Louise.Now Louise's reaction is normal. He guessed what White said to Louise after chasing him out in the morning, for example, he didn't know anything.whatever.All he cared about was Audrey.

Audrey's phone on the table vibrated.Clark watched Audrey pick up the phone, it was Tony, calling to care about their situation.

"I saw the news.They want him to appear in court tomorrow? 』

"Yeah. Said it was because the witnesses were murdered. I think it's another Luthor trap."

Natasha, Steve, and James are all on missions tonight, and it's just them and the Whites at home.Audrey left the table in order to make a call, and walked behind the bar, to the kitchen area near the stairs.Clark watched her go upstairs with a heavy heart.

"Why are they taking Superman to court?" Brandon asked, tilting his head puzzled. "Did you do anything bad, Daddy?"

Clark looked at Brandon in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain all this to the child.Martha looked at Clark, watched her son hang his head in frustration, and smiled sadly at Brandon.

"No, your father didn't," Martha said, stroking Brandon's head kindly.

White looked at the TV screen, then at Clark, and sighed.He pressed Clark's shoulder, "There will still be fairness and justice. We will expose Luthor's crimes."

Clark pulled away a bitter smile. "I hope so."

Audrey took her mobile phone to the stairs to talk on the phone. "What's new?"

"The good news is that we have all the evidence that the black girl blatantly lied in court.The bad news is that there's no other evidence that Lex Luthor is responsible for all this, which still doesn't make Superman completely innocent. 』

Audrey pursed her lips. "What about the bullet? Will the officer be willing to testify?"

"He said, unfortunately, he loves his job. 』

"We can give him one he likes better."

"us? 』

"Please, Tony. I know you must have a way. The officer's specialty is weapons procurement and development. Perhaps SHIELD needs such a talent?"

On the other end of the microphone, Tony laughed twice. "There's enough people like S.H.I.E.L.D., but I'll ask you. Well, I mean, I'll take care of this. By the way, did Clark propose?"

Audrey raised her eyebrows high.She wasn't surprised that Tony's topic jumped so fast, but she was surprised how Tony heard that Clark proposed marriage. "Words have spread, haven't they?"

"No, I do not know.I'm just guessing randomly, but I want to tell you that I picked out the ring on your hand with him. He hesitated for a long time until I forced him to choose a simple and elegant one.So, you want me to put you in tomorrow's hearing?I can do it. 』

Although the situation was not good, Audrey made Tony laugh. "Thank you. I love you."

"No, don't say that to me, your family's jealousy is terrible.When will you get married?I am waiting. 』

After finishing the call, Audrey turned around and saw Clark walking towards her, leaning sideways on the glass handrail of the stairs, smiling at her.

"Are you jealous of Tony? Seriously?" Audrey half-jokingly reached out to Clark.

Clark walked up the stairs, stopped in front of Audrey, two steps down, and put his arms around her waist.It's a pity that even in this position, Clark is still about the same height as Audrey... because Audrey didn't wear high heels.

"I admit, sometimes, I'm a little bit jealous. He took you to the prom once." Clark said with a smile, pecking Audrey lightly on the lips.

Audrey raised an eyebrow. "I still have that dress."

"Would you like to wear it for me?" Clark smiled even wider.

"That depends on your performance, Big Blue."

Audrey asked Clark to let her go, patted his cheek, pinched his nose, and walked down the stairs beside Clark with her head held high.Clark stared at Audrey's back, and after a long while, he realized that White was downstairs, watching the scene with interested eyes.Louise was out of sight, smoking outside the balcony.It's embarrassing.

"Actually... I'm a little curious, when did you start. I remember when you first returned to the company last year, Barnes treated you like a thorn in your back. Could it be that time we went to the tavern and Barnes was drunk , went on stage to sing, the night you sent her home?" White asked.

Clark raised the corner of his mouth and shook his head. "Maybe it started earlier."

Yes, maybe earlier; maybe that Gotham dinner, maybe their first glimpse at the company.Clark thought so.

And when the world is stormy, only Audrey can make him rest.

The hearing began in the morning.

Clark stayed up all night.Audrey woke up at seven and spent half an hour getting dressed.When she came downstairs, Clark was sitting on the couch, staring at the TV.

"Morning." Audrey said.

Clark turned his head, barely curling the corners of his mouth. "Morning," he said, taking a deep breath, "everyone is doing live broadcasts right now."

"Of course." Audrey looked at Clark calmly, walked over, leaned over and gave him a kiss, "You are not alone. I will always be by your side."

Clark nodded slightly; he felt like a six-year-old resisting going to school.It was childish, of course he understood, but seriously, who would want to go to a hearing just for themselves?He has no tendency to be abused.

"Will you be there?" Clark asked.

"Of course. White and the others will take my car. We'll go in and wait for you first." Audrey patted Clark on the shoulder, walked towards Martha who was standing in the kitchen watching TV, hugged him, and comforted him softly: "It's okay, everything will be fine Get up. Will you take care of Brandon for us? Thank you, Martha."

Audrey insisted on driving Louise to the courthouse herself.She doesn't want anything to go wrong, and she has heard of unprovoked car accidents before hearings and important witnesses.Lex Luthor wouldn't want that to happen.Meanwhile, White will accompany Louise in court.

They were stopped a block before the courthouse.Probably because of the hearing of the century, traffic control was implemented on the roads around the court, and people and vehicles must be checked before they can pass.

"That's a bit of an exaggeration," White complained.

Audrey looked around.Outside the blockade, ordinary people trying to pour in, some are crazy fans who hold up confession slogans and want to take the opportunity to show their love to Superman, and some are protesters who are loudly protesting and even fighting with other people.

"Considering that those women or men might jump on Superman," Audrey said, coldly glanced at the people outside the blockade, "I can understand why they designed so many levels."

White looked at Audrey strangely, probably thinking that the jealous boss was very strange.Of course Audrey wouldn't admit that she was because of those women—even men!Clark's market is really wide-screaming Superman's name, and the more outspoken ones are yelling words like me.With Clark's super hearing... Audrey really admires Clark's endurance.This will have a psychological shadow area.

The funny thing is that today's hearing is to put Superman on trial.

They arrived at the court without incident.Except for the checks and traffic jams, they hardly encountered any trouble.At this point Audrey began to feel that something was wrong.According to her cognition and Natasha's experience, when things that should not go well become smooth, it means that trouble has come.

Audrey then encounters Lex Luthor at the entrance.
