[Superman] Number One Enemy

"Calm down, Audrey, honey, I'm not a bad person. I'm here to save you."

"Is there any bad person who will say that he is a bad person!" Little Audrey resisted desperately, opened her mouth and bit Clark's wrist.

Frankly, Clark felt nothing.But this was probably the most strength little Audrey could use. As soon as she bit it down, she cried out in pain, collapsed, and said vaguely: "What are you made of? Why are you as hard as iron!"

This sentence is really familiar.Clark thought helplessly; well, now he can be sure that things are different from the development of history, and he is very sure that Audrey did not attack him when he took Audrey away last time.

"If you can't bite, don't bite." Clark said kindly, coaxing Audrey to let go.He didn't forget to check whether Audrey's teeth were loose, "Not bad, at least the mouth is good."

Little Audrey stared at Clark, and stopped struggling.The two fell silent.

"It's useless for me to struggle anyway, no one will come to save me." Audrey whispered to herself.

Clark frowned. "No, I will," he said, "I will come to your rescue."

Audrey looked at Clark questioningly.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Don't swear." Clark frowned and shook his head at little Audrey.He began to worry about how to educate Audrey in the future.How did Natasha do it in the first place?She taught Audrey so well.

Audrey just stared at Clark warily, hugging her calf with her arms, curled up in the corner of the sofa, buried half of her face behind her knees, her round and clear eyes followed Clark, ready to pounce on him at any time Take a few more bites of Clark.

Seeing Audrey like this, the softest part of Clark's heart throbbed.He hated Audrey for not knowing him, and even more hated that man for making Audrey like this; but most of all, he was glad that he got it back.In front of him, Audrey was alive, with body temperature, and the strength to bite him.That's fine.

"Uh, uh. Actually, I'm an alien." Clark decided to cut to the chase.

Audrey's expression was that she saw a strange mental retardation.

"Really, I didn't lie to you. I'm from Krypton," Clark emphasized.

Audrey remained motionless, staring blankly at Clark.Clark felt that little Audrey was probably thinking about what kind of psychopath he was, and she might classify him as having a problem with IQ.

"You're going to tell me now," Audrey said slowly, "an alien broke into the house in the middle of the night to save me?"

Little Audrey's voice was very crisp, with a standard articulation, not at all like a child who grew up in such a ghostly place, and even had the sharpness of an adult.Clark looked at her in surprise and joy.

"I really came to save you," Clark said sincerely.

Little Audrey raised her head slightly, frowned suspiciously, and said bitterly: "I won't believe you. This is not the first time he wants to sell me."

Clark pursed his lips, feeling pain in his heart.He pondered for a moment and made a decision.

"The man won't be coming back anytime soon," he said, looking straight into Audrey's eyes sincerely. "I know you don't trust me, but I didn't lie to you and I won't lie to you in the future. I'm an alien. , I heard your voice, I'm here to save you. Sorry for the delay, I hope it's still too late."

"Now I will leave here and wait for you at the corner of the alley outside. If you want, I will take you away. I will protect you, no matter what dangers arise, and I will do anything for you."

After finishing speaking, Clark got up, took off his coat, and left all his belongings and food to Audrey. "I'll get out of there," he said, pointing to the window, falling through the five-story apartment window in front of Audrey.

In fact, Clark had already prepared the worst plan to take Audrey away no matter how hard he struggled, but he wanted to try to win her trust.

Standing under the streetlight, Clark leaned against the lamppost, with his chest closed and his eyes closed.15 minutes have passed.Little Audrey was still hesitating.

That's okay; Clark reassures himself that he still has a plan B.If it really doesn't work, it's a big deal for him to do something... just to wrong Audrey and stay in the welfare institution for a while, waiting for Natasha to find her.Anyway, he would not let Audrey's father have another chance to hurt her.

Then he heard footsteps.

Clark opened his eyes, and saw little Audrey holding his coat, running over panting, and stopping in front of him.

"Are you really an alien?" she asked.

Clark couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Come here," he said, opening his arms to little Audrey, "Let me show you this starry sky."

Clark now faces two problems.

One, account.Of course he wanted to take Audrey away directly. The problem is, Audrey's guardian is still there. He has no legal blood relationship with Audrey. Why should he take the child away?

Two, if something "accident" happened to Audrey's father, would she be sad?

Both things troubled Clark.Do it again and find that things can't be the same, maybe this is called the butterfly effect.

That night, Clark took little Audrey for a walk in the air.Goggles came in handy, and he made Audrey wear them in case the evening wind dried her eyes out.Now Audrey really believed that he was an alien.

"Is that why you're so hard?" asked little Audrey, confused.

"Uh..." Clark laughed dryly.Tong Yan Wuji, it is his fault to think crookedly.

"Will you eat me?" continued little Audrey, "or lay eggs on me?"

"No! No way." At least not the way she thought.As for laying eggs... No, I can't think about it anymore.Audrey is only nine years old now!

Clark really wanted to know what kind of information Audrey was usually absorbing, and why she had a bunch of horrible thoughts.In the end, he deposited Audrey in the police station, specifically explaining that he could not reveal his existence.

Audrey nodded solemnly, turned her head and ran into the police station, crying loudly when she saw the police sister.

Clark flew to a neighboring building and heard Audrey cry to the police about her father threatening to sell her, evidence of the abuse.She perfectly concealed the parts that should not be mentioned, and obtained temporary protection from the police station.

After confirming Audrey's safety, Clark turned and left.He figured that was it.Next Natasha will go to take Audrey away.As for Audrey's father?It will be gone soon, don't worry.

A few days later, Audrey's father was pronounced dead on the way to the hospital due to excessive drinking, and the doctor pronounced him dead from alcohol poisoning.Audrey was transferred to the Social Bureau and began a long wait.

In the orphanage, what Audrey did most often was to curl up in a corner holding Clark's coat, not talking to anyone, and not interested in any games.She could stare out the window all day.And no one can take the coat away.

The social workers felt that Audrey was so weird. They thought it was the sequelae of Audrey’s violence by her father, and they couldn’t solve it for a while. Besides, they had so many children to take care of, so they simply let Audrey do what she wanted. As long as you eat, take a bath, go to sleep and get up regularly, it will be fine.

Until that day, a middle-aged couple brought their high school son to the nursery.

The couple, from Kansas, own a farm in Zimerwell and are eligible for adoption.The reception social worker led the family around the nursery as usual.When they passed the windowsill of the stairs, Audrey, who was curled up on the window sill, slowly turned her head and opened her eyes wide in an instant.

"This is Audrey, who came to our nursery last month." The social worker introduced.

Something amazing happened.Little Audrey, who never took the initiative to get close to anyone, and who always nestled on the window sill and refused to leave, saw the couple and their son, jumped off the window sill, and ran towards the high school student and go.

All the social workers watched in amazement as little Audrey hugged the big boy's waist and buried her face tightly in his sweater.

"This is...Mr. Kent, do you know her?"

Mr. Kent and his wife looked at each other, also inexplicably. "No, we don't know each other. But I think this baby is cute, can we adopt her?"

Clark managed to bring little Audrey home.This is a goal he finally achieved after spending nearly a month communicating with his parents and trying to convince them.He swears that this is definitely not a whim, wanting to raise a kitten and puppy, although it seems a bit much to ask for it as an adopted son, but he can't leave Audrey alone.

Jonathan was annoyed by Clark, and Martha was soft-hearted.Fortunately, they decided to like Audrey at a glance. This poor child's appearance of Clark's unwillingness to let go touched their hearts too much.

On the way back to Kansas, Audrey sat in Clark's arms, carefully observing the Kents, refusing to speak.Martha was particularly fond of Audrey, and she wanted a daughter in the first place.Jonathan suspected that Audrey had been abused before, otherwise how could he react like this.

"She clings to Clark like a kitten," Martha whispered to her husband.

Jonathan glanced over the backseat.Audrey just fell asleep, lying on Clark's shoulders, with her arms around his neck, and the coat Clark gave her in her arms.

"I see she likes Clark, too," Jonathan said, narrowing his eyes. "Why does the coat that kid is holding look familiar to me?"

During her first week at Kent Farm, Audrey liked to hide in a corner.

Such as Clark's wardrobe, such as under the desk, such as the wall cabinet and the dead corner of the wall cabinet.She always has a way of stuffing herself into that kind of unbelievable corner where no one can hide in from the perspective of others, and gather herself into a very small ball, and then no one can try to fish her out.

"Did she practice bone shrinking? The one on TV?" Martha was shocked.

"She's like a wild animal. Very insecure." Jonathan frowned.

Clark can't help but laugh at his mother's ridiculous assumptions.During this process, he was responsible for coaxing Audrey out of various strange corners. Only when Clark was at home, Audrey was willing to step into the sight of others.

"How was she treated before? It's so pitiful." Martha felt distressed.

Jonathan sighed.He had seen Audrey's file.According to the information, little Audrey's mother died young and experienced domestic violence and sexual assault for at least three years. It is expected that she will behave like this.The strange thing is that this kid should keep a respectful distance from all men, but he especially likes Clark.His father's intuition told Jonathan that there was something wrong with this.

Clark took the trouble to coax Audrey again and again, in fact, he had a little fun in it.You know, when Audrey grows up, he will never let him coax him like this, and it is impossible for him to try to squeeze herself into a small corner... This is of course not a good thing, but Clark decided to hypocritically pretend that he did not feel that Audrey It's so cute.

"Honey, can you come out of there? I want to read you a story, okay?"

Standing outside the closet, Clark tried to "negotiate" with Audrey.Little Audrey looked expressionless, looked at Clark, then at the book in his hand, looked at Clark, then at the book in his hand, and frowned.

Clark was secretly startled.Oh my god, this reaction is so familiar, it's exactly the same as hers 20 years later!

Holding Clark's coat, little Audrey stepped out of the closet.She went straight to the bookcase, pulled out another National Geographic encyclopedia, which was not a children's book, and handed it to Clark.

"I don't want to listen to that book." Little Audrey said, expressing her distaste for the fairy tale of the princess and prince in Clark's hands, "I'm not a three-year-old girl, I'm already nine years old."

Clark can only... can only maintain the most kind smile, and once again admires how the Black Widow educated Audrey back then, which is not a feat that ordinary people can do.

In her second week at Kent Farm, little Audrey was able to leave the corner.She began to like to be in certain places on the Kent farm—such as the kitchen where Martha and Clark were, the backyard, the bathroom, and Clark's room.

Then one day, little Audrey asked Clark a question that made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Why don't you help me take a bath?"

When little Audrey asked, Clark was writing a report.Audrey was sitting on Clark's bed, reading an encyclopedia that was four or five times thicker than Clark's textbook, suddenly raised her head, looked at Clark thoughtfully and asked.

Clark accidentally cut off the pen in his hand, and turned his head quickly. "What?!"

Little Audrey looked at him calmly, pointing to the book. "It says the caretakers bathe the lion cubs. Why don't you bathe me? I've seen celebs bathe their cats on TV."

Clark couldn't keep up with Audrey's little friend thinking.All he could do was try to explain, "Audrey, you're a human, not a cat or a lion. We don't do that." Please, give nine-year-old Audrey a bath?No, thank you, he would rather help her after 19 years old take a bath.

Audrey frowned and stared at Clark, then nodded slowly. "Oh. You're right."

After asking the question, Audrey lowered her head and continued reading.Clark was not at ease no matter what he thought, and decided to ask who gave Audrey this idea.He put down his homework and sat down beside Audrey.

"Honey, who made you think it's normal to have the opposite sex in the shower?"

Audrey thought about it. "My father, he always watched me take a bath. He said he was afraid I would drown in the bathtub, and sometimes touched my body."

Clark took a deep breath and turned his head away.The anger that had finally subsided came up again.

"Clark? Are you sick?"

"No, I'm fine. Listen, Audrey, it's not normal for anyone, male or female, to break into you in the shower. You can't let them touch you, understand?"

"Oh." Audrey nodded half-understanding, and continued to read her encyclopedia.

Looking at Audrey, Clark began to worry.God, he was Audrey's husband, not trying to be her father.And can he really teach Audrey well? !Romanov... show up soon.

In the third week of coming to the Kent farm, Audrey was willing to approach Martha alone.

But she still has many strange problems.For example, once, she ran to ask Clark.

"Martha and Jonathan are both human. Why can humans give birth to aliens?"

At this time, the three of them were preparing lunch in the restaurant.Jonathan was still working in the cornfield, Martha came out with the stewed chicken, Clark was setting the plate, and little Audrey was holding the back of the chair, looking up at Martha and Clark with a confused expression.

"Clark?!" Martha looked at her son in astonishment.

Clark held his forehead.Well, he should have thought of it, the kid doesn't quite understand how to keep it secret.

"Let me explain to her." Clark said, leading Audrey to the backyard.

The backyard of the Kent farm is basically Martha's vegetable garden, with a few herbs, mint, and chamomile.After Audrey came, there were more swings, although so far Audrey has shown little interest in swings.The fence has been dilapidated after years of wind and sun, the shingles of the house are also faded and red, the old tractor is parked next to the vegetable garden, and the chicken coop is next to the cabbage garden.

"Did I say the wrong thing?" Audrey asked, looking up at Clark.

In good faith, Clark denies. "No, you haven't. But I'm going to tell you something."

Clark let Audrey sit on the swing, and he squatted down in front of her so that he could look at her. "I am not Jonathan and Martha. But I am still their son."

Audrey stared blankly at Clark, and after thinking about it, frowned.

"Why is this happening?"

Clark smiled and combed Audrey's hair with his fingers. "That's a long story, my dear. Do you want to know?"

The author has something to say: Aliens picked up a wild animal.Isn't it very warm??
