Sentinels of the Comic World

"Okay, then you ask.. biquge" After hearing Chen Yan's somewhat helpless explanation, the simple Kara said she believed it.

"How did you know my identity?" Before asking this question, although Chen Yan had already made several guesses, he still hoped to get an accurate answer from Kara.

"That was the night before yesterday. My cousin and I had just come out from watching a movie on Third Avenue. We heard someone calling for help. When we arrived, we saw you punishing those gangsters and then flying directly into the sky. , I couldn't help but see your true face with my clairvoyant eyes." Speaking of this, Kara seemed a little ashamed. After all, prying into other people's privacy without permission is a very dishonorable thing in the United States.

"I understand, thank you, Kara, I hope you can keep this secret for me." After hearing Kara's description, Chen Yan said he could accept it, but Kara knew his identity, and maybe a superman, but this was also Chen Yan An acceptable result, because Chen Yan believed that the two of them would never tell others about their identities at will. After all, no lead was added when making the mask, which showed that Chen Yan had no intention of hiding his identity from Superman.

"Of course! I promise!" After discovering that Chen Yan was very generous about the fact that she had snooped into his privacy, Kara's favorable impression of Chen Yan skyrocketed, and she immediately patted her chest and promised, His identity will never be revealed to others.

"Then we will be friends from now on, right?" Kara stretched out her hand with a smile on her face, looked at Chen Yan and asked expectantly. At this time, Chen Yan looked at the smiling Kara, and seemed to be infected by her. He couldn't help but smile, stretched out his hand to hold her hand and said, "Yes, we are already friends."

"Yeah! We're friends! That's awesome!"

Chen Yan was extremely confused when he saw Carla's expression of being so excited that she even wanted to tell the whole world. "What's wrong? Didn't you have any friends before?"

When this was mentioned, Kara's face suddenly tightened, and she explained to Chen Yan unhappily. "Ah, maybe it's because of family reasons. When I was studying in Nazionale City, my adoptive parents always taught me not to trust others easily."

"And at that time, my sister, the daughter of my adoptive parents, was always by my side because she was worried that I would be deceived, accompanying me to and from school, and driving away those boys and girls who were attentive to me, so Growing up, I didn’t make any real friends.”

"Okay, Kara, don't be sad. I think your parents and sister just care about you, and you already have friends now, right?" Regarding Kara's situation, Chen Yan couldn't help comforting her.

"Well, I have friends."

"Actually, I also know that they all love me, but I always feel that they are too worried about me. I am already a child. I can distinguish who is good to me and who is malicious to me. After all, I am the cousin of Superman. Sister!" Carla still said angrily that she was no longer young.

"Yes, yes, you are Superman's cousin. What your parents and sisters should worry about is not you, but those who have bad intentions towards you." Looking at the lovely Kara, Chen Yan looked like He comforted her like a little girl who had lost her candy.

In response to his comfort, Kara wrinkled her cute little nose and kept shaking her fist. "Chen Yan, are you free tonight? I want to introduce you to my cousin. I want them to know that I am no longer a child. I have a friend who is a superhero!"

"Of course, I have time tonight." When Chen Yan heard that Kara was going to introduce herself to Superman, he was still looking forward to it. After all, for people in the original world, Superman was almost a national idol, and now he can see the idol with his own eyes. , that is something that countless people can’t ask for.

"But Kara, I am not a superhero. I can only be regarded as a vigilante now because I am not ready to become a superhero." At the same time, Chen Yan said that Kara calls herself a superhero. He is obviously not qualified now, there is too much difference. Now he is like Shazam who just got super powers. At most, he is just a little more mature than Shazam.

"Why? Can't everything you do now be considered a superhero?" Carla was very confused when she heard that Chen Yan looked down on her.

"Kara, do you know what the meaning of superhero is?" Chen Yan expressed his understanding and asked in response to Kara's doubts.

"Maintaining peace and fighting crime, aren't these superheroes?" Kara responded immediately to Chen Yan's rhetorical question.

"No, Kara, you are just talking about the behavior of a superhero. If you want to become a superhero, you must first endure everything that others can never bear, and while enduring all this, you must also establish a belief for people. , a belief called justice and hope! This is the true meaning of a superhero. And I can't do all of this now." Looking at the innocent Kara, because Chen Yan knew that Kara would still be like Superman in the end Taking on the responsibility that belonged to her, he looked extremely serious and explained to her the meaning of superhero in his heart, hoping to make Kara clearly realize that becoming a superhero does not just require possessing superhuman strength. This is definitely not a simple matter.

Yes, in Chen Yan's heart, the only superheroes he recognized at this time were Superman and Batman, because they were the only two who endured the mindless exclusion and vicious curses from the people, as well as the national government. Despite all kinds of malice, he was still able to stick to his original beliefs and strictly abide by his inner justice, which established faith for most civilians.

As for the rest of the superheroes like The Flash, Green Lantern, Shazam, etc., they have not truly endured the feeling of being ostracized and reviled by all the people like Superman and Batman.

When it comes to Shazam, Chen Yan doesn't know if the current Shazam has found an heir. If he has, it has to be said that in the DC universe of the New 52, ​​Shazam, who has just accepted the power of the Six Gods, does not behave well. Act like a superhero and more like a kid who got a new toy and wants to show it around.

Maybe Shazam can become a qualified superhero in the future, but he who has just gained power is definitely not a superhero.

"Okay, I admit what you said is right. Maybe this is the reason why my parents, sister and cousin don't want me to go out and fight criminals like Superman and behave differently from ordinary people." After hearing Chen Yan's extremely serious expression After talking to herself about the meaning of superhero in a tone of voice, Kara no longer struggled with the question of whether Chen Yan was a superhero. However, Kara didn't have much feelings about Chen Yan's words now, but Chen Yan's efforts were not in vain after all. Her words had already planted a seed in Kara's heart that was waiting to germinate.

When Kara clearly realizes Superman's situation, this seed will take root and sprout. As for Kara's final choice, only God knows.

Knowing that Kara couldn't understand his words now, Chen Yan didn't explain anything more, he just patted Kara's delicate head and smiled without making a sound.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Give me your phone number. I will contact you after we make an appointment with my cousin in the evening."

"Okay." With that, Chen Yan gave Kara his number, saying that he was waiting for your call.

In the following time, Chen Yan and Kara finished their lunch chatting and laughing, and then came to the classroom to start the afternoon class.

--------

"Chen Yan, remember to set aside time to wait for my call tonight!" "Of course!"

Time flew by and it was time for school to end in a blink of an eye. Kara pulled Chen Yan to the school gate and gave instructions to Chen Yan. After hearing Chen Yan’s affirmative reply, she turned around and walked towards a black car. .

Chen Yan watched Kara get into the car and leave, and found that the person who came to pick up Kara was not Clark, but Clark's girlfriend Lois Lane. It seemed that Chen Yan had to wait until night to see Superman, but Chen Yan didn't care. Anyway, he would be able to see Superman sooner or later.

Then Chen Yan stopped thinking about it, came to the bus stop and got on the bus.
