[Superman] Number One Enemy

Hearing this, Clark already had guesses in his heart, but he didn't dare to have any expectations.Along with fear, he was also angry.

"This is no joke, Charles Xavier. If you lie to me about it, I'll tear you apart—"

"I'm not kidding. Clark, listen to me. Losing Audrey, you think you're the only one who is sad? Brandon is my student, he is my most beloved child, he has unlimited talents, and more importantly, He has Audrey's wisdom, and your kindness."

Charles spoke calmly, looking at Clark with gentle and sad eyes.When Clark heard Charles' last words, he felt his anger subside.

"I..." Clark opened his mouth, but couldn't find a word to express his feelings.He thought of Brandon's precocity, understanding, and thoughtfulness, and how sweet and proud his son with Audrey was.Then he also thought of Audrey, of the three of them traveling together, of Audrey's quarrel with him in the Science Museum, of the magic chess they would play on weekends...

"I miss Audrey too." Charles whispered, "So, I came to you, because only you can do this."

Clark's attitude softened completely.He stared at Charles, Audrey's best friend and the elder brother of Audrey's best friend Ruiwen. After he chose to rule the world with an iron fist, he must have suffered a lot of psychological pressure because of disagreements with Ruiwen.Thinking of this, he decided to give each other a chance.

"Tell me your plan."

It's very simple.Charles wants Clark to go back in time.

But he didn't want The Flash to take Clark back in time; he wanted to use Phantom Cat, the mutant power he brought, to send Clark back in time.Only Clark's soul returned to the past, not including the body.According to the assurances of several mutants, it has not been once or twice that they have relied on phantom cats to change the past and correct history.The last time it was Wolverine on this mission, they chose him this time.

"It's going to hurt a bit." Phantom Cat told Clark, when they decided to do it right away, "You know, this is not a normal time travel. I'm sending your soul back."

"Very good." Clark replied lightly, lying on the recliner, "I haven't felt anything for a long time."

Phoenix and Quicksilver stood guard at the gate of the fortress, preventing anyone from interrupting Phantom Cat's actions.Clark adjusted the fort to its highest defense mode.Charles slid the wheelchair closer to Clark.

"Barry will help you, but he can't stay in the past. Once you change the past, the future will be different. You have to be careful, Clark, too much change will cause irreparable consequences."

Clark looked at Charles calmly, suddenly confused. "I'm surprised why you still believe me after all that has happened?"

Charles glanced at Clark, but didn't answer right away.Phantom Cat placed her hands on either side of Clark's temples. "Ready?" she asked.

Clark was still staring at Charles, wanting an answer.

"I understand how much you love Audrey," Charles said, turning his wheelchair to face Clark, smiling.That was Professor X's wise smile. When he showed this kind of smile, everyone could rest assured, because everything was under the professor's control and would not get out of control.

"I can understand how you feel, I can feel how you feel. That's why I trust you. Because you never give up."

After finishing his speech, Charles nodded slightly to the phantom cat.Clark closed his eyes, still echoing what Professor X had said to him.

"I'm counting down. Superman, get ready. Five, four, three, two, one—"

A powerful force pulled Clark's soul out of his body.Only then did Clark confirm that he also had a soul, and he was no different from people on Earth.He was thrown into the torrent of time and space by the phantom cat. In the chaos, Barry grabbed his hand.

"Hold on to me!" Barry yelled, guiding Clark through time and space.

Clark sees many images; messy, clueless.Obviously there is more than one space-time here.

"We seem to be lost, there are too many timelines here..." Barry scratched his head anxiously, finally finding the right way, "Here! Go down here!"

Clark was surprised to see that in different time and space, he formed a family with different women.There was Louise, there was Lana—he was about to forget, Lana Lang, his childhood companion who had been his first love.There's another woman I haven't seen... Is that Lana's cousin?When did Lana have a cousin?

None of that matters either.Clark focused on walking in the direction Barry pointed.

"Here it is. Clark, let's jump."

Barry pointed to the time point and asked Clark to act with him.Clark watched the scene.Before the trial, he kissed Audrey goodbye.

He looked back; he proposed to Audrey, they discussed having a second child, his confusion, his love, Audrey's sincerity, Audrey's past.

if.If he has the chance to come back.

If only he could change the past.

"Wait. Wait, Clark, where are you going?!"

Ignoring Barry's stunned yell, Clark continued on the timeline.He became Audrey's assistant, he returned to the metropolis, Audrey took Brandon to school, and Audrey took over the CEO position of the Daily Planet.Go forward, go further.Tony and Raven became Brandon's godparents, Audrey gave birth to Brandon, and he left the earth. On their night, Audrey broke up with Bruce, and Audrey became a prop for the clown to mock Bruce.further on...

He found the time he wanted.right here.

"Wait, Clark, don't!"

Barry didn't have time to stop Clark.Although Barry Allen can exceed the speed of light, in many cases, he is always one step behind.All he could do was watch Clark jump into what he thought was the wrong moment, and there was nothing he could do to stop Clark.

"Oh my god, my god. What is he thinking! This is N years ago!" Barry crumbled, holding his head and circling in circles. "What should I do now?! Everything has changed──Huh?"

The surrounding picture keeps changing.The originally scattered time and space gradually merged with each other and became a new world.Barry paused in bewilderment, watching the scene.

"God, maybe no one can see this kind of picture again..." Barry murmured, and in order to prove it, he fell asleep and went back in time until he found the time point where he could go back.

Barry Allen frowned inexplicably, turned his head, and supported his forehead.

"……What's happening here?"

Clark opened his eyes again.

"Kent!" The classmate sitting next to him shook his shoulder, "Hey, get out of the car, we're here."

Clark snapped back to his senses.He looked around in shock and found himself on a school bus, a high school bus, momentarily dazed and at a loss.

"Kent!"

Clark blocked the entrance.His classmates urged impatiently.Clark followed the others out of the car in bewilderment, and then realized that he had indeed traveled through time. He was back in his high school years, and he was teaching with his classmates in the last year of high school, and came to a company in the next state for an internship. .

It was today, he was going to rescue Audrey.He was not late, just on time.

During the whole visit, Clark was absent-minded, thinking about when it would be dark and he wanted to find Audrey.His strangeness soon aroused the suspicion of his childhood sweetheart Malana Lang.Before entering the hotel, Lana ran to him in the spare time.

"Clark, you don't feel right today. What's going on?"

Clark stared at the merchandise on the shelves.They were in the employee welfare center inside the enterprise building, and Clark discovered that what they visited back then was the Stark Enterprise branch.Many of the cutting-edge technology concept products introduced by the tour just now will be launched one after another like a dream come true in the next ten years, and Clark has used them all. It feels really amazing.

"Uh, I guess it's just a sudden discovery of too many amazing things?" Clark said, glancing at Lana vaguely.

Other students stood in front of the next shelf and yelled. "It's got everything here. Stark Frog Mirror? Is there any special purpose for this?"

Lana was distracted.Clark took the opportunity to escape.He walked to that classmate, picked up the frog mirror and looked at it for a while.That's not a frog mirror, it's goggles, for experiments, with a tempered glass mirror, and other fancy uses such as changing colors with the environment.Worthy of being made by Stark.

Clark thought for a while, then walked to the counter to check out with goggles.Lana stared at him suspiciously, increasingly incomprehensible.

"Clark, why are you buying this? It's expensive."

"This... as a souvenir?" Clark said nonsense.

In fact, Clark was preparing for the evening.He was going to save Audrey, and he didn't want Superman to be exposed early. The point was, thinking that he might meet Audrey's terrible father later, Clark was very angry, and all the strength in his body was ready to move.He needed something to pretend his eyes weren't glowing red, otherwise Audrey would be startled by him.

He really wanted to get out of here now and go to Audrey right away.He didn't want to wait any longer.

It was a day of torture for Clark, until nightfall, when he was sure his roommates were asleep and he could move.He could hear Audrey sobbing, and he wanted to run to her immediately, to comfort her, to protect her.

Audrey's childhood home was messier and dilapidated than Clark remembered.It wouldn't be called a slum, but it wasn't much better either.When he landed on the corridor of the front door, Clark couldn't believe it. His Audrey, just like her father, lived in this old house of less than fifteen square meters. The space was cramped, dirty, and full of weirdness. stench.

Clark frowned fiercely.A little girl's screams could clearly be heard in the house, but the neighbors turned a deaf ear to her.What kind of world is this? !They can at least call the police.

In anger, Clark almost broke into the door.But no, he had to wait.The sound of whipping stopped, and the man's heavy breathing and footsteps came towards the door.Clark hid sideways in the shadows, staring at the opponent's back until he was sure that the opponent would not turn back for a while.

Of course the man had to die.

But not now.Moreover, the police will determine that he died of excessive drinking and alcohol poisoning.

Clark broke through the door.Audrey was crying on the sofa, curled up like a wounded kitten.Seeing this scene, Clark was heartbroken, forgetting that he was a stranger to Audrey now, and hurried forward to pick Audrey up from the sofa.Even though Audrey was emaciated at this time and her complexion was black and yellow, Clark could still recognize at a glance that this was the love of his life.

"God, Audrey...my girl." Clark murmured, looking distressed at how much Audrey had been hurt.There were many welts on her body, and even more on her lower body... Clark was once again angry.

"Who are you!" Audrey screamed, punching and kicking Clark.

Clark restrained Audrey's hands and feet, and was at a loss for a while.It's over, he completely forgot how he rescued Audrey last time, he only remembered that he took Audrey to the police station in the end.That time it seemed that when he arrived, the door was open... Now what should he do?

The author has something to say:

Popular science time:

In the original work, Clark did fly [-] times around the earth and go back to the past to change the past because of Lois' death.He's a man who can do this kind of thing.But with the changes in the settings given to him in the comics, it seems that he can't do this anymore...or he didn't do this anymore, or he would grab Xiao Shan's job.
