Marvel: Son of Tomorrow

Chapter 72 Luther's Reminder

"I'm sorry, Clark, I was inconsiderate."

After figuring it out, the Beast immediately apologized, and Clark naturally wouldn't hold on to this point.

"Thank you for your understanding."

As he spoke, Clark thought about what happened a week ago.

At that time, he was still in the DC universe, helping out in Luthor's laboratory.

That day, Luthor was perfecting his preliminary design, and Superman's voice happened to be heard over the wireless communication.

"Luther, tell me the special materials needed for the Ark. The reserves on Earth may not be enough, but I know some nearby planets should have these materials."

This is Superman. Everyone thinks that Superman only has brute strength but is unwilling to use his brain.

But in fact, Superman has learned the oceans of most races in the universe and knows the general geographical conditions of all the planets around the solar system.

He may really not like to think, but that's to reassure the people around him, not because he is really stupid.

After handing the information to Superman, Luthor couldn't help but sigh.

"Only at this point will a superman be willing to fully demonstrate his talent, but can a person who has been suppressed for so long, exert his full strength?"

When a person is too kind, he naturally cannot be cruel. It is impossible for Superman not to see that there is no future for humans staying on Earth. The reason why he quarreled with Luthor over the Ark was because of this inertia.

The biggest reason why Superman is kind is that he trusts humans.

He knew full well that there were scumbags among humans, and that not all humans were kind to him. Most humans with powers actually viewed Superman as a possible enemy.

But Superman is willing to choose to trust and treat all of humanity well for the sake of ordinary people who have no power.

Thinking of this, Luthor looked at Clark beside him.

"Clark, do you love humans?"

Clark, who was using his super brain to help Cyborg calculate data, was slightly stunned when he heard this. He never thought that when Superman was talking to Luthor, he would start asking himself questions in the end.

But Clark already had an answer to this question.

"That's natural. I live on Earth, and the Earth is my home. I naturally love the Earth and the humans on it."

"Really? He looks exactly like Superman."

Except for Kryptonite and the red sun, whose weaknesses are determined by physical constitution, everyone else has ways to deal with Superman. Which one of them is not offered by Superman himself?

In order to make the enemy feel at ease, he handed over his own leverage with both hands.

It's outrageous, but this is Superman.

"Clark, when you return to your own world, remember, unless you truly trust that person wholeheartedly, never tell anyone about your physical condition. There is a high probability that there is no kryptonite in the other world. All your weaknesses are in your hands. Don't make your weaknesses public like Superman did."

Clark asked why, but Luthor didn't answer, but he naturally knew the answer.

Looking at the story of Superman, every chapter is like walking on the edge of a knife.

With Superman's style of doing things, it would not be too much for him to be killed at any time. After meeting Clark, Luthor also found a way to get some Marvel comics from the ruins to read.

Naturally, they also knew that the world Clark lived in was not as tolerant as their world, and the government there was more ignorant and more dangerous than the government in their world.

The same growth process, if placed on Superman in this world, may make him a great hero, but if placed on Clark in another world, it will only lead to Clark's death.

......

Thinking back, Clark still doesn't know why Luthor gave such advice, but this doesn't stop Clark from being willing to take action for it.

"Since class is about to start, I have one last question."

Charles' sudden words also symbolized that the meeting was coming to an end.

After knowing Clark's abilities, Charles had another guess in his mind about Magneto's purpose.

"Clark, do you think that the previous attacks could have been caused by Magneto knowing your abilities?"

If Magneto knew that Clark was a Kryptonian, then this attack would make perfect sense. As long as Clark could be persuaded, or even brainwashed, to join the Brotherhood of Mutants, perhaps in just a few years, the world would welcome a Superman whose mission was to exterminate humanity.

Charles had to worry about that.

"I understand your concern, Professor, but this is actually not true. Because except in front of it, I have never used my superpowers in this world, and there is basically no possibility of exposure, unless Magneto has other ways to directly judge the threat of Kryptonians and humans. But I don't think that the so-called Magneto will believe that Kryptonians really exist in this world without seeing it with his own eyes."

"Is that so? I understand."

Although Clark did not say explicitly that he had never used his abilities in this world, it was almost clear that Clark had just returned from another world due to unknown reasons, and his abilities were also controlled in another world. Naturally, there was no possibility for Magneto to discover the other party's identity.

"In that case, let's stop here today, Clark. If you need any help, just tell me directly. We will do our best to help you adapt to life here... Even if you are not a mutant, no one here will reject you."

Hearing this, Clark Cai finally realized that there seemed to be a strange misunderstanding and hurriedly spoke.

"I need it again!! I need a phone."

"Telephone?"

All the X-Men looked at Clark. They couldn't figure out who else Clark needed to contact on the phone.

"I need to contact my parents and tell them I'm safe, otherwise they will definitely keep worrying."

"parents?"

Everyone present was shocked. Even Charles, who realized that he had misunderstood, had an expression that made him unable to hold back.

"You weren't kicked out?" (This is Jean)

"You didn't run away from home?" (This is Cyclops)

"You have parents?" (This is the beast..)

Clark's eye twitched, but he explained anyway.

"I was just separated from my family due to an accident. It's not like I have no family. I guess my family is still looking for me everywhere now."

After Clark finished speaking, everyone covered their faces in embarrassment. There was nothing they could do about it. Who made them unable to come up with a pair of parents?
