[Comprehensive British and American] The villain is beaten daily

There is more than one Wayne in the world.

But Clark only knew one Wayne whom Lydia spoke of so solemnly.

So, on Christmas night, Clark had to turn around and visit Gotham again.

The Justice League meeting is over, and Bruce has returned to Wayne's villa. At the same time, his other adopted sons are also in Gotham, spending Christmas with Alfred.

Then, Bruce Batman Wayne received a big gift-is it a surprise, is it a surprise?

Bruce: "..."

Damian: "..."

Tim: "..."

Dick Grayson called back by Aff: "...Bruce you..."

Alfred sighed: "...Master Bruce."

Superman was driven out of Gotham by Batman.

***

Super speed is a speed that the current Lydia can't keep up with.But Damian is just a little boy with a mortal body, and Clark had to slow down, so when he sent Damian, Lydia had already returned to Metropolis.

She didn't go back to the apartment to change clothes, she was still wearing the blood-stained uniform, standing on the roof of the Rex Building, looking down at the bustling world.

Metropolis is a bright city.

Every city has a unique cultural atmosphere.Metropolis, as one of the largest cities in the United States, has a large population, and ordinary people living in this city are easily infected with a relaxed and cheerful mood.

In contrast, Gotham's crime rate remains high, while Metropolis' is at the bottom.

The cheerful spirit of Christmas reverberates throughout the city.In fact, Lydia seldom comes to Lex’s place. Now that many companies are coordinating with decorations on the glass bed, Lex’s enterprise still stands silently and indifferently in the center of the city, looking across the river to the dark Gotham next door.

Lydia was squatting on the upper floor of the building, looking at the city, waiting for Superman to come back.

It was eleven o'clock at night.

Lydia could see the brightly lit streets. Even if it was close to midnight, there were many people cheering at this time, and they would stay up all night on special festivals.

Some people who came up with bad ideas today have already been beaten up by Lydia several times, and they are all piled up at the gate of the Metropolitan Police Station.

Now Lilith is just humming a cheerful Christmas song on the top of the building, feeling happy for the three-digit points earned today.

Then, Mr. Catnip—ah no, Superman fell from the sky.

He's wearing a uniform today, not to mention that in Metropolis, Superman can appear anywhere.

As soon as he approached, Lydia had already sensed his breath, and the little girl leaned back, raised her head, and met his face.

The man looked a little dignified.

He frowned, hesitated to speak, and the cloak rolled behind him, automatically without wind.He was suspended, the toes of his boots drooped naturally, without touching any brick of the building.

In his eyes, Lilith seemed a little too much.

She is excited now.

The girl's complexion was fair, and the corners of her eyes were reddish with excitement. Her heart beat faster, her blood was rushing, and she was in a state of excitement.At the same time, there were bloodstains that had solidified on her clothes and the bottom of her boots.

"Lilith..." he said seriously, "we need to talk."

"Okay," Lydia answered him, "what do you want to talk about?"

The red-haired girl's eyes were full of trust, and she stared at Clark without blinking, waiting for "the content of the conversation."

Clark paused, suddenly speechless.

He trusted his instincts, the little girls he knew.Lydia is a good child, but she hasn't been carefully guided before, and she may be walking on a bit of a wrong path.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

Lydia blinked, and had already removed half of the mask.She was already a bit shorter than Clark, and Superman didn't touch the ground, so she could only take a step back and raised her head: "Huh?"

Superman weighed his words: "Why...why did you go there?"

The little girl's face was immediately stained with excitement: "I'm going to save the world."

Lydia believed in the words of the system, and she felt that she was simply the patron saint of the future earth.As much as she liked—loved Superman now, one day, she would surpass Superman and become the nemesis of villains all over the planet, and the source of nightmares for those bastards.

As a result, Superman had a faint stomachache.

He was sure that Lydia was telling the truth.

The little girl really thought she was doing the right thing.This is about a conflict of values. The two talked about each other for a long time before Lydia realized that her cheap mentor was blaming her.

The girl frowned.

"Do you think my actions are wrong?" she said. "You don't approve of my actions?"

Clark felt his imaginary stomach ache worse.

He thought of the Dick who came to him many years ago because of the quarrel with Bruce. At that time, he could still give Dick some advice. Now it was his turn, but Clark had a hard time saying anything directly, and could only choose his words over and over again. .

What Lilith needs is guidance, not blows.

"Lilith, you can't punish them for something they didn't do, not anyone. We're not the police, and we don't have the power to 'discipline' or anything," Clarke told her. "People call We are heroes, superheroes, because we can do what they can't, and use our abilities to help them. 'Ability' is a double-edged sword, you have to control your abilities, and It’s not because you have it, put yourself in a higher position.”

This is what Clark sees from Lydia.

Her every move after putting on the mask seems to be separating herself from the world.

This is a very dangerous thing.

As the one who should really be "out of place", Clark knows very well that there is no choice to be different, but this is not doomed; but once he completely distinguishes himself from others, the real danger begins.

He has seen too many examples like this.

He became interested in Lilith at first because he was afraid that the young new hero would go astray.He still remembered Lilith's provocation to him, but during this time, he indulged Lilith because of Lydia.It is true that they are the same person, but power and masks will bring people different mentalities.

Superman's sense of responsibility made him unable to ignore it.

"I do not have."

The red-haired girl stood up straight.

She straightened her neck, her jawline was tense, and she gritted her teeth. There was still a hint of chocolate taste in her mouth. The previous sweetness dissipated, leaving only the slight bitterness of cocoa.

Lydia blushed again.

Of course she didn't cry, she was very wronged, but she didn't want to, and she couldn't cry.

Lydia was not a strong girl in the past, she can stand on her own now, but she still subconsciously pins her emotions on another person.

The first one was Tadana, who was confused for a few years and became Lex. After falling out with her brother, she all cast herself on Clark.

Her concept of "hero" was instilled in her by the system.

When she was not found, Lydia, who had been suppressed for so many years, had a low self-esteem. She thought that she would not and did not deserve the help of heroes. She never learned about superheroes; Superheroes don't catch a cold, and the little girl shares the same hatred; later, she became a part of the hero herself.

Totally unexpected changes.

The system told her that those with red names are villains, who are a threat to humans and the earth, and will bring points, killing two birds with one stone.She saves people, gets thanks, saves people again, beats criminals so that they don't dare to do it again, what's wrong?What she did... Isn't that what she should do?

She knew that Superman was a hero, and she thought that Superman would understand her, recognize her, and even praise her.Whether you think with Lydia's mentality or Lilith's mentality, you get the same answer.However, the facts are in front of us.

When she took over a small base of a villain organization and rescued a child by the way (Damian: Who needs you to save it!), she didn't get the expected praise, but got a veiled accusation instead.

——From the person she cares about most now.

"I did nothing wrong," the little girl finally had the courage to quarrel with the person she cared about, the green in her eyes was so thick that it was almost black, and the half-face mask that was not strong enough was finally shattered into shards in her hands, "I know who I am, I know it all too well. You see me as something different."

"No, Lilith..."

He wanted to say something, but his cheap apprentice didn't want to hear it.

Lydia put her hands to her ears with extreme self-will.

Clark's soul breath penetrated into her senses everywhere, and she was wronged and sad. She thought that the distance between them had already narrowed, but now it seemed more like her self-indulgence.

The aloof Superman finally landed on the top of the building.

He frowned, actually he didn't know which sensitive point of the little girl he hit with his words after careful consideration.

As a result, he took a step, and Lydia took a step back, covering her ears.

The top of the tens of thousands of bungalows in the Rex Building became the stage for these two people to stage a bloody romance drama.

Lydia covered her ears and heard everything Clark said clearly.However, the more he said, the more wronged Lydia became, her eyes were always red and her tears were on the verge of falling.

System: [Lydia, that...]

Lydia: 【Shut up! 】

She muted the system fiercely.

Lydia was immersed in her emotions, and continued to retreat mechanically.

He is so good.

He's... so good.Good for me, good for the world.

Superman is a good guy, even though he's Kryptonian, he's really a good guy, and Lex was wrong.

But why?

Can't he...be nicer to me?

I am not wrong.

Lydia whispered to herself.

I'm not wrong, I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

Maybe... I'm too greedy.

Clark's stomach ached even more.

Lydia's mood was obviously wrong. She lowered her head, covered her ears, and kept backing away, as if she was refusing to accept some reality.

He also had a headache, so he could only keep a safe distance from Lydia in accordance with the rhythm of her retreat.

The next moment, Wonder Woman who came to find Clark according to the agreement appeared.

Diana did not wear a uniform, but an elegant long dress.She appeared on the broad platform with her arms folded, and the expression on her face was a little meaningful and subtle.

"I came at the wrong time..."

Lydia is still immersed in her emotions.

She was still retreating, and she didn't realize that she could no longer perceive that fiery soul, nor did she realize that she was standing on the edge of the rooftop.

The last step was lost, her mind went blank, she only had time to let out a short scream, and fell down.

What will you think at the moment when you fall from the building?

Lydia seemed to think a lot, but she didn't seem to think of anything.

She didn't know what happened, she only knew that she lost her special ability and returned to a state of nothing.

The girl's face was pale, and her heart beat faster at this moment.

Well, don't think about right or wrong, that's fine, I'm an ordinary person now, an ordinary person through and through.Ordinary people who might fall to their death.It only takes a few seconds to say goodbye to the world.

Lydia closed her eyes.

In the next moment, she fell into a generous and warm embrace, which was familiar and gave her an unparalleled sense of security.

"Lydia?"

The speed of the fall tended to slow down, and she heard Clark's concerned voice, as if the accusation and quarrel just now didn't exist at all, and it was just her one-man show.

Tears flowed instantly.

Lydia's heart was beating fast, she didn't know if it was nervousness, or some other emotion.

【system. ] She called calmly.

【Um? 】

【I want to kiss him. 】
