Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

"Hey Peter, you're a little late." Mindy flipped her hair inadvertently and observed the young man behind Peter calmly.

"Hello, lovely lady, you were in the bank just now, right." Lionel smiled brightly.

It was not difficult for Lionel to detect Mindy's presence, so when he said this, it was not in a questioning tone at all.

Mindy and Peter had almost the same reaction when they saw Lionel's face, they were both shocked.

She looked at Peter subconsciously, "This...he..."

"That's why I wanted Lucas to meet him." Peter said softly.

Lucas?

Lionel was openly distracted.

He discovered that Peter and Mindy both had different attitudes when they saw his face. This shows that...the man named Lucas looks very similar to him, but how is this possible? He is superhuman. Clone!

But when he saw the figure smiling at his friend from a distance, indescribable feelings rose from his heart.

Lucas felt a burning gaze and looked in the direction of the gaze. Gray-blue and azure eyes faced each other at this moment.

"you……"

As soon as Lionel uttered a word, a familiar feeling of weakness suddenly surged up from his limbs.

"puff"

Lucas looked at Lionel who was kneeling limply on the ground with his upper body pressed to the ground in shock, and immediately stood up, "What is this for?"

"This ceremony is too big." Mindy couldn't help complaining.

"What..." Lionel turned his head and looked at Lucas with difficulty, "So it's you! Don't come here!"

"Huh?" Lucas stood there, confused.

"Is it okay, Lionel?" Peter quickly helped Lionel up.

"Of course there is a problem! And the problem is big!" Lionel gasped and leaned on Peter's shoulder, looking very weak.

"It seems like you two are like brothers." Gwen looked at Lucas and then at Lionel.

"But that's..." Harry hesitated in disbelief.

They all knew that Peter was going to bring Superboy over, but when Superboy and Lucas wearing glasses were in front of them, they realized why Peter was so entangled in the group.

"It's so similar. Lucas, you really have Kryptonian blood." Gwen sighed.

"Impossible!" Lionel, who was far away from Lucas, retorted loudly.

"Huh? So you think Lucas is not your brother."

Lionel looked at that face and was speechless for a moment, but he had better evidence.

"You must have kryptonite on you." He looked at Lucas with certainty.

Kryptonite, apart from the red sun, is the only weakness of Kryptonians, and it is also a more fatal weakness. Puncturing the heart with a Kryptonite bullet will even cause the death of a Kryptonian, because the radiation of this stone will make Kryptonians the same as ordinary humans. In other words, weaker.

"Just..." Lionel squinted his eyes. The obstruction of his clothes and skin had become a decoration for him. It was precisely because of this that he saw the green in Lucas's heart.

Lionel was stunned and looked at Lucas in astonishment, as if he were some terrible scourge.

“Right there—” Mindy couldn’t help but look at Lionel and couldn’t help but urge, “Where is it?”

"...Are you a monster?" Lionel murmured, "No, you are definitely not a Kryptonian. Otherwise, how could you endure such torture."

Luthor has kryptonite in his laboratory, or he is the owner of the most kryptonite besides Batman. Lionel is very familiar with how the radiation emitted by kryptonite makes Kryptonians feel uncomfortable. , because of this, he really dislikes going to the laboratory for physical examinations.

If one day, it was said that Kryptonite should be put into his body, Lionel would absolutely never agree, even if it was Luther.

This is simply abuse...

"I carry kryptonite..." Lucas followed Lionel's gaze and put his hand on his heart, "Are you talking about here?"

Lionel nodded silently.

"Wait, what does this mean?" Harry couldn't help but ask. He looked at Lucas sharply, "Lucas?"

"It was just a little guess, and now it's confirmed." Lucas still didn't have a fierce expression on the surface, but judging from his tightened fingers that turned white and the folds of his clothes that he pinched, his heart was not as calm as it seemed.

He knew from the beginning that his body was not normal. When he tried his best, the dull pain from his heart would often take away all the strength from his body.

Heart, heart... It wouldn't be surprising if someone had tampered with his heart...

As his mind became confused, Lucas once again saw his nightmare, a black figure with red lips raised in an exaggerated arc.

I don’t know if it was due to the angle of view, but Lucas could never see his face clearly. No, or maybe he saw it, but he couldn’t describe it.

Some wonderful factors were affecting and deconstructing his cognition. Countless brilliant colors and patterns were rendered in front of his eyes, but only that figure was so clear.

In the end, all that is left is chaos and madness, chaos and madness from Gotham.

"Ugh."

There was a sigh, and then a small hand was placed on Lucas' head.

"Is this the limit..." Archipald said, "Sure enough, it's not enough."

Lucas regained his consciousness and came back to his senses. To others, he just looked at Lionel in a daze for a few seconds.

Only Raven saw the boy who appeared next to Lucas. The boy she had seen before using her ability was the boy who had been beside Lucas.

Golden-green eyes looked at Raven, shaking his head slightly at her, just like before.

"Lucas?"

Lucas came to his senses and said, "I'm fine."

"Speaking of which, Peter said you were the one he wanted me to meet. What do you want to talk about?" Lionel asked.

Although he was so sure about what he said before, in fact, the moment he saw Lucas, he knew that there must be some kind of connection between them, but the presence of kryptonite made him stressed.

Lucas rubbed his temples to relieve the fatigue that had just arisen, and the madness was suppressed and forgotten again.

"Originally, I wanted to know something about me from you, but now it seems that you definitely don't know."

Lionel scratched his head and said strangely: "Aren't you unclear about your own origins?"

Lucas shook his head, not hiding it from Lionel, "There is something wrong with my memory."

"Memory..." Lionel touched his chin and thought. When he lowered his eyes, the gray-green color in his eyes became more obvious, looking more like Luther from the side.

He shrugged, "Although I don't know your specific situation, in my case, a lot of knowledge was poured directly into my brain."

"Pour knowledge into your brain?" Peter recalled the time when Lionel appeared. "Leon, how old are you...?"

"My biological age is sixteen."

"No, no, no, I mean, how long has it been since you started remembering?"

"Um...nearly half a year."

"Half a year?!" Mindy suddenly raised her voice, "Doesn't this mean that you are not even one year old?"

Lionel didn't like this statement. He curled his lips childishly, but he couldn't deny it.

"I don't think mental age and physical age can be generalized." He muttered quietly.

Lionel looked at Lucas again, "Anyway, I don't think your birth must be related to Lex. After all, you look like..."

He looked at Lucas's blue eyes, which were less human and more like Superman, and said, "More like Superman."

But Lionel quickly added, "Only in appearance, of course."

Lionel naturally didn't want to admit that he was inferior to others, but he had to admit that Luther only wanted the best one. Lucas was born before him no matter how he looked at it. If Lucas was created by Luther , then he would not exist.

What's more, Lucas, who had kryptonite buried in his body, remained calm and looked like he wasn't affected much. Looking at himself, he couldn't even straighten his back. This was an obvious difference.

"Actually, I don't think I'm from Luther." Lucas said, "I just confirmed something through your appearance."

Judging from Luthor's research report, it is completely impossible to completely clone Superman. Only by mixing in human genes can a normal clone be born. Lionel belongs to Superman and Luthor, so what about him?

Lucas' instinct told him that the other person was important, but now he had no clue.

"I say, brother," cried Lionel.

When Lucas looked over, his eyes flashed, he nodded at his heart, and continued: "Should you take out the things here?"

He made a sour look, "Although you may think it doesn't matter, it's really unfriendly to me!"

He didn't know how Lucas endured it, but now Lucas was still a large piece of kryptonite to Lionel, and he felt weak even if he got even slightly closer.

"I'll think about it," Lucas said.

These words were so frivolous that not only Lionel showed an expression of disbelief, but also everyone around him who was listening to their conversation honestly showed expressions of disapproval.

"That's the heart! I think it's better to take it out immediately!"

"Yeah, no wonder Lucas you were so weak at the beginning, that's why."

Harry said, "If you need it, I'll get you ready for surgery right away."

Under the concerned eyes of everyone, Lucas opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

"Actually, it's better to keep it." Raven said. Compared with ordinary people, her eyes can see more things.

"I...I think so too." Hope flapped her wings nervously.

"Hope..."

"I...I don't know, maybe it's intuition." Hope stammered, "I just don't think I can take it off directly. I always feel like something bad will happen..."

After saying this, Hope opened half of his wings and rubbed Lucas' cheek with the soft feathers on his wings, as if to comfort him.

Lucas tilted his head slightly and looked at him doubtfully.

Hope immediately retracted his wings and coughed twice, acting as if nothing happened.

"What do Lucas think?" Harry looked at Lucas and asked.

"Keep it as it is," Lucas said.

Lionel took a breath and said pitifully: "Are you really not going to take out the kryptonite? I still like you very much, my brother~"

Lionel drew out his tone with familiarity. The boy's voice was clear and slightly hoarse, coupled with his watery eyes, it was like a big dog acting coquettishly.

Lucas trembled, "Don't talk like that."

"Okay, how about adding contact information?" Lionel said again.

"Sorry, your phone is likely to be monitored by Luther, so it won't work." Lucas refused.

Since he has Superman's genes in his body, he can't attract Luthor's attention. He will definitely be interested in the Kryptonians who are gradually becoming resistant to kryptonite. Lucas doesn't want to be sent to the laboratory to be disemboweled. Broken belly.

"You can remember my heartbeat." Lucas said subconsciously.

"Huh? How do you know..." Lionel reacted, "Oh, we are brothers."

Looking at Lucas again, Lionel shook his legs and stood up reluctantly. As long as he was close to Lucas, the kryptonite would affect him.

At the same time, Lucas took the initiative to stand up and move away from Lionel, which made Lionel feel better.

"I won't tell Lex about you." Lionel said, and he waved his hand carelessly, "Then I'll see you next time."

Lionel flew up staggeringly, as if he had drunk fake wine, and almost entered the building next door.

"Is the influence of kryptonite so great..." Lucas looked at Lionel's performance speechlessly. He always felt that this super boy who was cheerful on the surface but had a strong desire to perform was a bit white and black inside.

He has been like this since he can remember. In other words, the kryptonite has been in his body since then. It is not exaggerated to look like that.

Lucas turned around and saw several pairs of shining eyes.

"Lucas Lucas, are you really related to Superman?"

"never seen it."

"Then...were you cloned like Superboy?"

"do not know."

Lucas sighed and expressed his guess, "But this is very likely, but I don't understand..."

Superman, an upright and powerful hero, would not abandon his own children, so the most likely thing is that Lucas was also born as a clone.

But the doubtful point about this matter is that the cloning of Kryptonians cannot be easily completed, but why should the successful product of so much hard work be discarded so casually.
