[Comprehensive British and American] Superhero Manual

"Got you, Kal-El."

These words exploded in Karl's ears like thunder, and he was so shocked that he almost didn't run away from here.

He didn't get away though, because— Bruce reached out and grabbed his cloak.

"Won't you talk to me?" Bruce still had a smile on his face, he just looked at Carl and asked.

Carl: Bad, bad.

For some reason, Karl saw a hint of danger from that smile, so he nodded obediently.

Superman came to Gotham for the first time, and the person he saved was Bruce Wayne!During the 2 minutes that Carl and Bruce talked in a low voice, the people around were so excited that they raised their mobile phones and kept taking pictures.

Reporters from the newspaper are expected to be on their way.

Carl was a bit at a loss as he was surrounded by so many people.

It's not like he hasn't been through something like this, but it was in Metropolis or somewhere else, not in Gotham.

He has already noticed that someone seems to be ready to grab him.

But Bruce was still holding on to his cloak, his expression was almost triumphant, as if he was talking about how he would solve this matter.

Before the onlookers rushed up, Carl made up his mind. He hugged Bruce and flew into the sky with a swipe, away from the crowd below.

Carl has never been to Gotham before, first because he knows that Batman does not welcome others to "invade" his territory, and second, because very few people in Gotham call Superman when they are in danger.

And he was able to rush to Bruce's side so quickly this time because he had been paying attention to the other party's situation.

When he heard the familiar voice calling out the name "Superman", Carl rushed over immediately.

And the other party let Karl know with just a few words that Bruce knew his identity a long time ago, and this was just an incident he used to test.

Even so, the danger of this accident is real, and Carl feels a little lucky in his heart, thankful that he saved Bruce from this disaster.

After getting away from the fanatical crowd, Carl landed on the top floor of Wayne Building with Bruce in his arms.

He originally wanted to fly directly to Wayne Manor, but he hesitated, and in the end, Karl stopped at the top of Wayne Manor.

Maybe it was because of the impact he received today, Carl's brain was in such a mess that even he didn't know what he had done subconsciously.

Until Bruce, with a dark face, unceremoniously sneered at Carl's IQ, he woke up like a dream, and let Bruce go in a panic.

"Take me down, do you want to talk here?" Bruce continued to darken his face, the wind on the top floor was so loud that his voice was almost blown away, but he was not worried that Carl would not hear him.

Carl's face was hot, for what could be called reckless behavior for himself.

He hurriedly took Bruce back to the ground floor, and deliberately avoided the crowd.

After landing, Carl quickly replaced Superman's uniform with super speed, and within two seconds, he was dressed as an ordinary person, standing in front of Bruce.

Bruce only said "Follow", and walked straight forward. He casually pushed open the door of a nearby coffee shop, and Carl hurriedly followed behind him.

This is undoubtedly an industry owned by Wayne Enterprises. When Bruce appeared at the door, the waiter in front of the counter greeted him with trepidation and asked the boss what he wanted respectfully.

"Let's go to the compartment on the second floor, don't let anyone come up." Bruce said casually, and walked directly to the second floor. Carl followed Bruce up the stairs cautiously.

With a click, Carl closes the door, and he sits down in front of Bruce, almost touching hands and feet in the process.

Carl was very nervous.

"Then, Mr. Superman, let's talk about your identity first." Bruce glanced at Carl with a half-smile, and said.

10 minute later.

Carl is still sitting across from Bruce, no different than before.

But in these 10 minutes, Carl has told Bruce most of the things about "Superman", including the Zod incident not long ago.

However, after some other matters, Karl chose not to speak for the time being after hesitating, such as his ability to travel through parallel worlds.

Karl has also guessed that it was because of the previous Zod incident that he would experience this crisis of losing his horse.

However, after the initial tension passed, Karl's mood has calmed down strangely.He realized that this was an excellent time to distance himself from Bruce.

Carl used his super brain to think quickly, and secretly made a decision in his heart.

After listening to what Carl had to say, Bruce was briefly lost in thought.

It was slightly different from what he thought, no, it was very different.

"Superman", he recited the name silently. At this moment, in his heart, this is no longer a symbol from an alien, but the result obtained after the earth conceived the man in front of him for 20 years.

Bruce glanced at Carl, who couldn't hide his anxiety, and suddenly asked, "Can Superman come out?"

Karl didn't know why, but he still nodded and agreed to the request.

He deftly removed the spherical device containing the Superman uniform, as he had done so many times before, and quickly put on the Superman uniform in a fraction of a second.

Bruce only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and the person opposite changed his appearance.

From the Kal-El he knew, he became the well-known Patron Saint of Metropolis, Superman.

Bruce looked at Superman with a new look. The expression and some small movements of this god on earth are so familiar. The only difference is his face.

Bruce thought of the pair of glasses Carl had been wearing for almost a second. He thought about it: "So, those glasses are a prop you use to disguise your identity."

Bruce instantly remembered some small props with similar functions that Xavier Corporation had launched, but they were not so powerful, and could only be used as decorations at masquerade parties at best.

Carl gently put the pair of half-rim glasses on the table, nodded and said: "Yes, these are glasses made with Kryptonian technology, which can be used to mislead the line of sight."

Bruce didn't say anything more, he just asked suddenly: "So, the appearance of "Superman" is your real appearance? "

Karl lowered his head slightly, his eyelids drooped, he didn't know why he was a little embarrassed, he nodded slightly: "Yes."

He raised his eyes and glanced at Bruce, hesitantly said: "Actually... I also know your other identity, which is Batman."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the cubicle froze in an instant, Bruce's relaxed expression turned cold, and his voice was colder than Yan Bing: "What did you say?"

Carl moved his body uneasily, but he still repeated, "I know, you're Batman."

Bruce's face fell suddenly.

※※※※※※※※※

That night, Wayne Manor.

The housekeeper Alfred prepared a sumptuous dinner, and his master rarely brought friends back.

I'm not talking about those "friends" who need to be put on a show, but the friends he really made.

Although Bruce didn't say it clearly, Alfred could tell that this was Karl-Eyer who was in frequent contact with the master, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were friends.

Although I don't know why the atmosphere between these two people is a bit weird, but as a qualified housekeeper, these are not things he should ask more.

Bruce's adopted son, Dick Grayson, has gone to college outside, and he doesn't come back for a long time, and they also have some other conflicts, and the relationship between the two is very rigid.

In addition, after Bruce came back, he either went to the base below or was forced to sleep, and the Wayne Mansion hadn't had a decent popularity for a long time.

Therefore, although Alfred did not show it on the surface, he was very happy in his heart.

After serving dinner to his master and his friends, he withdrew first, leaving only Bruce and Carl at the table.

After finishing dinner in silence, Carl quietly glanced at Bruce across the street. Although they had talked a lot in that coffee shop before, Bruce never expressed his thoughts, and only said that they would talk after going to Wayne Manor.

Carl can probably guess that Bruce will take him to the Batcave, but he doesn't know what to do after that.

After Bruce had eaten his dinner slowly, he glanced at Carl and said, "Come with me."

Carl followed Bruce to their destination with anxiety, which turned out to be the Batcave.

"Now, I'll ask, and you'll answer." As soon as Bruce entered the Batcave, he took on the aura of Batman and looked at Carl fiercely.

Carl also turned serious, and responded to Bruce's question with the most serious attitude.

That night, the lights in the Batcave stayed on until the wee hours of the morning.

Carl took the initiative to tell Bruce about his weaknesses, whether they were lead products, red suns, or kryptonite.

To be honest, Bruce didn't expect Carl to tell the whole story. He looked at the other party looking at him with undisguised trust, and it was rare for him to get stuck.

The mood when he was suddenly stripped of his vest had already calmed down in that coffee shop, and now Bruce can look at it calmly.But this does not mean that he can immediately accept this matter without any grudges.

Although Bruce's view of Superman changed after he knew that Carl was Superman, he was still a bit unacceptable for the time being.

Although this trust is invisible, it is a bit heavy.

He put away the recorded data, looked at Carl with complicated eyes, and asked, "You just tell me this, are you afraid that I will use it against you?"

Carl smiled sheepishly, and said, "If you really want to deal with me, my father will help too."

After saying this, Carl immediately added: "However, I believe you won't."

Bruce said blankly, "Oh."

It seemed that he was thinking too much, how could the other party do such an unsure thing.

And speaking of Charles, after witnessing how he manipulated the Kryptonians last time, Bruce raised his danger several levels.

It may be Karl's luck to be the adopted son of such a person.
