[Superman] Number One Enemy

Everyone turned their attention to Banner.

"Makes sense," Natasha said, glancing at James uncertainly.

James pursed his lips and nodded in agreement.Steve thought about it.Clark was silent.

"The only problem is that kryptonite is a substance with strong radioactive energy. We can't inject it directly into Audrey's body. It will also cause harm to the human body..." Banner said, his eyes wandering to Tony, "If we It can save a lot of time by obtaining the information from the X Academy’s previous research on kryptonite.”

"That's no problem. I'll contact Charles," Natasha said. "He'll be happy to help."

Tony changed his sitting position and lowered his hand to his forehead. "That's great, I hope this happens as quickly as possible. This is a nightmare, and I'm absolutely going to make Luthor pay for it."

Clark stood up abruptly. "I'll leave for a moment." He said, and left the meeting room. The speed was so fast that several agents in the corridor couldn't dodge and crashed into a ball.

Several people looked at Clark's back and disappeared from their sight at a speed that even super soldiers could not match. They turned their heads, remained silent, and understood.

"Do you think he's okay?" Natasha asked softly.

"As long as Audrey is okay, he'll be fine." It was Tony who answered, unease and expressionless, "someone better watch him. Don't forget, he's a man of steel. There's nothing wrong on earth." Can hurt him, except for Audrey."

Tony was right.Nothing in the world could hurt Clark.Without Audrey, Clark would rather have no heart.

Audrey would take his heart with him, along with his conscience.She is his whole world.He doesn't care if such thoughts are healthy or not.

Clark returned to the Fortress of Solitude to consult the Kryptonian database his father left him.Regarding the virus, there are tens of millions of species recorded in the database. He sorted out all the possibilities and passed the data to Tony.

"Where did you get this information?!" Tony was taken aback.

"Kryptonian database. Hope this helps," Clark replied.

Tony stared closely at Clark.Ever since Audrey was injected with the virus by Luther, Clark's smiles have become less and less, and now there is no smile at all.This allowed Clark's innate kingly temperament to be unreservedly displayed, and it can even be said that he was a little cold-blooded.

"Thanks, Super. That's very helpful," Tony said, trying to be a little joking, "Hey, maybe you can come and help with the experiment, we need a guinea pig."

As a result, Clark replied very seriously: "Of course there is no problem. How should I cooperate?"

Tony's smile froze on his face. "I'm joking. Earth isn't ready for a fight with Superman."

Clark glanced at Tony, then returned to that dead expression of despair.This made Tony feel a headache, and the alarm was raised in his heart.

"I'm leaving first," Clark said, heading for the lab door.

"Are you going to pick up Brandon? Tell him I miss him."

Tony hasn't given up gossip yet.But Clark was unmoved.When Clark was about to step out of the laboratory, Tony couldn't help shouting.

"You know I was serious just now. Earth isn't ready for a fight with Superman," he said, keeping his eyes fixed on Clark's back, though it could never see through Clark's thoughts. "You get me, don't you? Kent?"

Clark stopped, turned his head, and looked at the ground.

"I almost killed her myself," he said, casting a final, emotionless glance at Tony.

Perhaps that sentence can be interpreted as——Clark almost killed Audrey with his own hands.There was nothing he couldn't do yet.

Tony didn't want to think like this, but no matter how you look at it, Clark has the attitude of destroying the world if he disagrees.Of course he informed the other Avengers to prepare, and the only thing he could do was to develop anti-virus serum earlier.

But, the truth is, even if the serum helped Audrey suppress the virus, it was only suppression.She will never turn back to normal.This is completely different from the situation where Pepper was injected with Extremis Virus.This virus cannot be eradicated.Lex Luthor is doing a great job.

Tony didn't say what he really thought.He feels guilty about the whole thing.

Back then, he really should have checked the serum several times before detoxifying Audrey.He was dead wrong.

S.H.I.E.L.D. freezes Audrey.This is the simplest and most common way to do it.

“We found that cold temperatures slowed the activity of the virus,” Hill said, as he took Clark to the isolation room. “It helped Audrey fight the virus and ease her pain.”

"Thank you." Clark nodded slightly.They stopped at the door.

"You're welcome." Hill said, looking through the glass into the isolation room, "Nick and I have watched her grow up, I hope Stark and the others can research the serum as soon as possible. She is a very cute girl , I'm sorry to see her in so much pain."

Clark looked at Hill.He could see sincerity and sadness in the other person's eyes looking at Audrey.As an agent, maybe Hill shouldn't show emotion, but at this time, no one would blame her.

"You have 15 minutes to meet," Hill said, turning his gaze back to Clark. "I'll take you here."

Clark nodded slightly, passed through layers of security checks, and entered the isolation room.

It's freezing here.The prison the size of a football field is silent and quiet, with only white as far as the eye can see.Audrey was lying on her side on the bed in the center of the room, as if she had stopped breathing from a distance.His love, his Audrey, was curled up in bed, insecure.

He gently approached Audrey, knelt down on one knee beside the bed, and placed his palm on Audrey's cheek.

Audrey slowly opened her eyes, a little frost and snow fell off her eyelashes.

"You came to see me." Audrey whispered.

Clark raised the corner of his mouth.That was the smile he gave Audrey.

"My love." He said softly, carefully stroking away the frozen frost between Audrey's brows, and kissed Audrey's cold lips, "I miss you so much."

Audrey was tired, weak, and all her energy was devoted to fighting the virus.Clark supported Audrey, let her stand up, and leaned against his chest.

"today……?"

"Weekend. I'm off. Mom stays at home with Brandon. Others are on missions."

"company……?"

"Everything is fine. Tony has found someone to take your place temporarily... I hope you don't mind. I recommend Lana, whom I mentioned to you, my childhood friend. She has a lot of leadership skills and won't let Your hard work is ruined."

After receiving the answer, Audrey seemed to fall into a coma again.Clark put his arms around Audrey and whispered something about Brandon, about their family, about his love for her.

"You have to hold on, okay? Audrey, even if it's for me."

Audrey didn't respond.

Clark didn't expect a response from Audrey either; Audrey's condition had gone from bad to worse these past two weeks.The strong woman who never fails falls, and Superman loses his lighthouse, lost in the snowstorm.

"You can't leave me," Clark told Audrey, as he put her back in bed.He leaned over to kiss Audrey, and reluctantly let go of her hand.

Leaving the S.H.I.E.L.D. base, Clark went to the Fortress of Solitude first. After sorting out his emotions, he went home to face his mother and son.He didn't want Brandon to see his disheartened appearance, and he didn't want Brandon to be intimidated by the resentment emanating from him-yes, Clark knew exactly what he looked like at the moment, how dark, extreme, and cynical .

That was Audrey and his son.Audrey do baby Brandon.

This is an ordinary day.On Sunday, Martha took Brandon to church, and when they got home, they had lunch, naps, and games.Brandon had just woken up when Clark got home.

"Daddy!" Brandon greeted his father happily, always sprinting down from the second floor - now only flying, ever since Brandon found out he could fly.

Clark caught Brandon, reminding himself to smile.

"Good son." Clark kissed Brandon's forehead, regretting that Brandon looked too much like him, and there was almost no shadow of Audrey on his body.

Brandon kissed Clark on the cheek too.The two walked to the dining room, where Martha was baking cookies.

"What did you do today?"

"Um... go to church in the morning and the pastor gave me two candies. Then we have lunch, and then we take a nap... Where's Mommy? Can't she come back yet?"

Brandon's naive question touched Clark's most sensitive emotions, but he couldn't get angry, collapse, or show any negative emotions towards Brandon.Clark could only take a deep breath, put Brandon down, and patted his son's head.

"Go help your grandma," Clark said, evading the question.

Confused, Brandon runs away to help Martha make cookies.Martha looked at Clark sadly, but turned her head and still smiled at Brandon.After a while, Brandon lost his patience and ran outside to find Xiao Krypton, their Superman dog, who recently gained another nickname.

Clark moved closer to Martha.After so many years, his mother can still comfort his pain.

"Is it bad?" Martha asked worriedly.

Clark shook his head, leaning against the kitchen cabinet door. "I'm afraid she won't make it through," he murmured.

Martha frowned and hugged her child gently. "Be more confident in Audrey."

"I don't know, I just..." Clark bowed his head in pain, "God, she has to be in a place where there's frost on her, she's as cold and stiff as marble. I can't go on watching her in so much pain , many times I think, would it be the best choice to end everything for her? But I want her to hold on for me. I'm so selfish, mother. I just want her to stay with me."

Martha patted Clark on the back and reassured, "Give her a little more time. She can make it through."

Clark looked at Martha in frustration, unable to speak.He didn't want to despair, let alone hold on to any hope.Every day in front of him is suffering.

"Thank you, Mother." Clark said to Martha, his tone tired and weak, "Thank you for willing to help me take care of Brandon during this time. You know, since Audrey was not with me, I..."

"You are welcome. He is my grandson." Martha tried to comfort Clark with a smile, "I like him very much. To be honest, he is much easier to take care of than when you were a child."

Suddenly, frantic dog barking and Brandon's screams came from outside!
