[Superman] Number One Enemy

Chapter 8 Domineering female president; between us, the style of painting is wrong

It was the playboy, the billionaire, the genius, the great philanthropist, Tony Stark, who saved, or should I say, made things worse.

This night, the ecology of Gotham is destined to be broken, and the Avengers and Superman join the city managed by Batman at the same time.

There will be a headline tomorrow.

The crisis was resolved, and heroes appeared one after another.After Tony appeared, the guests gradually came back to their senses. Some took out their mobile phones to take pictures and videos, and some whispered to each other.

Tony entered the banquet hall through the broken floor-to-ceiling windows, and waved to everyone present in a high-profile way.Audrey didn't relax until now.

"Too slow!" Audrey said, raising her voice and walking over to Tony, stopping in front of him with her arms folded.

"What's the use of being angry at me?" Tony took off his helmet and glanced sideways in Bruce's direction, "Do you know how closed the city of Gotham is and how difficult it is for us to get in? I didn't even know there was another in the United States." Cities, independent of a president, can enforce their own lockdown. It’s amazing.”

The sound of a Quinjet engine can be heard outside the building.

"Is anyone hurt? ’ Steve’s voice came over the radio.

The guests were even more astonished and looked at each other in blank dismay.They all recognized this voice, the childhood hero of the American people, "It's Captain America!"

The people from S.H.I.E.L.D. followed the Gotham Guard into the banquet hall.

Audrey turned her head and saw James walking in with the Joker and Natasha with the Harley Quinn.Natasha raised her eyebrows at Audrey, and Audrey curled her mouth and waved to Natasha.

Clark didn't overlook these small details.He noticed the love and care for Audrey in Natasha's eyes, the resemblance between James and Audrey's facial features, and the faint joy in Audrey's expression when she heard Captain America's voice .

Clark lowered his head and smiled reassuringly.

The next thing is like a running account.The S.H.I.E.L.D. teamed up with Gotham's local police force to deal with the attack, ignoring Gotham Sheriff's objections, and took away the felons Joker and Harley Quinn with overwhelming power.

It's hard to imagine that the crazy and lawless clowns and clowns who have endangered the lives of the people of Gotham countless times were ended by S.H.I.E.L.D.

In order to hide Batman's identity, Bruce easily took the criminals to S.H.I.E.L.D. while he was changing clothes.When Bruce returned to the banquet hall, the situation was set.

Bruce looked at Audrey from a distance, Mo Ke felt relieved.

Audrey glanced at Bruce, she knew that Bruce had something to say to her, but she didn't plan to talk to this ex-boyfriend first.She walked towards Clark and called to stop him before he left.

"Superman. Wait."

Clark stopped by the window, turned his head, and saw Audrey walking towards him holding her skirt, stepping on the broken glass that was as bright as the stars in the night sky.

Audrey stopped about three steps away from Clark.

Clark lowered his head slightly, looking down at Audrey.

Audrey opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

Clark looked at Audrey's rare embarrassment with interest.

"I..." Audrey gasped, but still couldn't speak.Finally, she turned her head and glanced at the Avengers, Raven, and Bruce in the venue, then lowered her head and stared at her boots.

"I'm prepared." Audrey said, looking up at Clark. "I've contacted the Avengers. I'm a S.H.I.E.L.D. protection target. I didn't come here with my bare hands. I brought Mystique, Professor X." Also keep an eye on my situation. And, I'm trained. I can beat a Level [-] agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Clark raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Audrey in surprise.

"Do you understand me?" Audrey stared at Clark, frowning.

"I... don't understand." Clark shook his head slightly.

"I mean, I can do my job and do it well. I have a plan for everything."

"I can tell."

"So... I mean..."

Clark smiled and waited patiently for Audrey to finish speaking.

Audrey looked away, "I really don't need you to save me. Don't come to Gotham."

Clark nodded slightly, "Yeah."

"Congratulations, you have successfully entered the ranks of my rumored boyfriends. Next, your name will be in the newspapers, and will continue to be listed with me, Bruce, and Tony. Be happy."

Clark laughed, "Thank you so much, we all know this is not true."

Audrey continued to stare at the floor, as if the shards of glass had suddenly become real stars.

"...thank you. You came here for me tonight. Although you really don't have to," she whispered.

Clark froze for a moment, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and then his smile widened.

"You're welcome." He said, looking at Audrey tenderly, "I think next time, I'll go anywhere for you."

Audrey frowned.She raised her head and was about to say something, but Clark had already turned and flew away.

Bruce's breath came beside her.Audrey turned around and saw Bruce standing beside her, reaching out to her.

Audrey immediately narrowed her eyes.

"Okay, I can't touch you." Bruce held up his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Only then did Audrey ease his expression.They looked at the night sky at the same time.

"You should know that S.H.I.E.L.D. won't keep those two psychopaths alive."

"I know."

"You also know the Avengers have more money than you, so we're not afraid of you, right. We've got Tony, and T'Challa."

"……I know."

"Then smile lightly. I'm helping you out of trouble."

Audrey turned her head and raised an eyebrow at Bruce.This expression is very similar to Natasha.

Bruce could only smile wryly. "I should have guessed that you came here with perfect preparations. You wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate them from the beginning?"

Audrey rolled her eyes, "If you don't have old age and dementia, and you still have some memories of what happened six years ago, you should know that I have a feud with the clown. This is a personal grudge. I am a very vengeful person."

"And, you also made a few headlines by the way."

"Yes, it's just a matter of course."

In silence, Bruce looked at Audrey, and Audrey looked at Bruce.

Bruce wants to find someone who understands how he feels, to look at each other.

"...Riwen is right. Our style of painting is really wrong." After a long while, Bruce rested his forehead and sighed.

"You just found out?" Audrey asked back, "How else would we break up?"

By now, Audrey was able to joke about her breaking up with Bruce.Bruce doesn't seem to mind, whether that's the case is debatable.

Bruce didn't ask Audrey why he got involved with Superman, he knew Audrey wouldn't talk to him.Audrey didn't say how she got involved with Superman, she didn't know Superman, she knew Clark Kent.

The clown incident came to an end with the strong intervention of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The focus of the media is never the focus; compared to why S.H.I.E.L.D. intervenes in Gotham affairs, the public is more concerned about how Superman went to Gotham, the expansion of business scope, the appearance of Captain America, and the swagger of Tony Stark.

And, Audrey Barnes, the acting CEO of Planet Media, Bruce Wayne's ex-girlfriend, Tony Stark's ambiguous object, and a well-known decathlon demon strongwoman in the business world, has provoked a new... man.

This time, even Superman fell for it.

The next day, Clark entered the office three or ten minutes earlier as usual.From a distance, he could see that a large group of reporters had gathered on the ground floor of the Planetary Media building.

Clark wisely entered the building from the rear.Fortunately, he met Louise...

With Louise's husband.A junior of one of their chief editors.

"Morning." Clark took the initiative to greet Louise.

Louise looked at Clark, only a few seconds late to remember who Clark was.

"Morning." Louise smiled and introduced her husband, "My dear, he is Ms. Barnes's secretary. Ms. Barnes trusts him very much. Clark, this is Richard White, my husband."

Louise's husband smiled in surprise. "It's really rare to hear who the queen trusts. Hello, I'm White, just call me Richard."

Their conversation ended here.A group of employees poured into the elevator.

"Are those people out there going to visit our boss?" someone asked.

"Of course. Did you see the picture sent back by the boss last night? The news department finished the editing and dubbing in the early morning. Our CEO is really decathlon, she is so handsome."

"I'm more curious about her relationship with Superman. Doesn't Superman like Lois Lane? That special news department?"

Louise lowered her head, a little embarrassed.White put his arms around Louise and comforted her with a smile.

Clark watched from the sidelines and could only remain silent.

"This group of reporters will piss off Barnes. We'd better keep our skin tight today, she hates being surrounded by a large group of reporters."

"yes."

As the elevator ascended, the crowd gradually dispersed.Surrounded by the intimate image of Louise and her husband just now in Clark's mind, he has mixed emotions in his heart.

It was unlikely that he would have anything to do with Louise; whether it was because of Louise's marriage, or what he had done.

Clark was thinking about the reminders given to him by his colleagues downstairs and during the discussion—Audrey will be very popular today, and she hates being touched the most, but there are enough reporters downstairs.He hesitated whether he should think of a way to pick Audrey up, when he saw Audrey walk into the office refreshed.

Huh?It doesn't seem right.

Clark glanced at the time.Audrey was five minutes early.

"What are you doing?" Audrey raised her voice, stepped on her high heels, and pushed open the glass door of the office, "What are you doing?"

"I thought..." Clark replied subconsciously, with a confused look on his face, "The reporters downstairs..."

Audrey glanced at Clark, and took away his mug full of hot coffee on the table, "If they can, they'll block me on the top floor. Use your brains, Kent."

Clark suddenly realized.Audrey came by helicopter, no wonder.

Audrey put the bag on the table, picked up the official document and reviewed it.On her desk was a stack of Clark's overnight work.That is, the ones she handed to Clark.

Clark stared at Audrey nervously.

Audrey flipped through them one by one, expressionless.

"Uh...did I do a lot wrong?" Clark couldn't help asking.

Audrey glanced at Clark and said nothing.

Clark tensed even more.This kind of reaction is hard to understand, what is it like!He doesn't understand the heart of his boss.

After a while, Audrey put down the materials.

"You're done."

"Yes, sir."

Audrey narrowed her eyes.Clark was apprehensive.

Then Clark saw Audrey lower her head and sighed.

"Good job." Audrey said, glanced at Clark with a gentle look, and raised the corners of her lips slightly.

Clark was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Thank you," he said, quickly looking down and up at Audrey. "I'm glad I could help you, Ms. Barnes."
