se. "

Jessica called out: "So what?! Diana, why..."

Then her voice stopped abruptly as she saw another person in the car.

The other party leaned forward a little, and then greeted Jessica: "Meet the little bird again."

"Alex? Why are you... You know this is Lex Luthor's sister, right? Are you sure you haven't been brainwashed by a supervillain?"

Diana: "??? So why not worry about me being brainwashed by supervillains?"

"Because you are amazing." Jessica said with a look of reason.

Alex:……

All right, as long as you are happy.

Jessica, who was blinded by Diana and Alex, forgot Alfred's order to tell her to go home after dropping off Diana, followed three people into the car, and didn't react suddenly until the car ran out of Gotham Come over: "Why did I follow you up?"

Diana: "Pfft!"

Alex: "Pfft!"

Tess: "Pfft!"

Fortunately, Alex, who was of the opposite sex, spoke up immediately, alleviating Jessica's embarrassment: "Actually, we're going to the hearing, Rosalind Black's."

It must have been my concern for the case that outstripped my willpower.

Jessica thought.

Presumably Connor will be there too?

She hasn't figured out how to explain it to Connor since the last time Dick talked to her.

However, Connor, who was being talked about by Jessica, was playing games with Tony in the Avengers Building at the moment, operating things.

At the beginning, the hand speed was normal, but later it became faster and faster. In order to maintain his face, the old father could only ask Jarvis to cheat on him. However, Jarvis said that the fairness of the game is more important than the victory, so Insist on not cheating on the old father.

When the sixth victory popped up on the interface, Connor threw the handle in his hand, directly smashing the game interface and the wall behind it.

Then take a deep breath.

"Sorry, I'm out of control."

"Jarvis, add Connor's control training. By the way, he is already going to college. According to the situation of a normal child, he should pay for his own expenses when he goes to college."

Connor: "?? Not..."

"Does it include battle damage?"

"Are you kidding?" Tony said with a serious face: "He was damaged in battle, the Kryptonian's battle damage, and the bill alone can bury him. Of course it must be added."

Interlude ([-])

Connor was writing a project case when he got the trial results.

Alex told him as soon as the trial results came in.

"To be honest, I thought you would go together, but you dragged me to see the results of the trial, so are you afraid that hearing the results of the trial will be against you?" Alex on the other end of the phone spoke briskly— — He is quite satisfied with the outcome of the trial.

Connor was the exact opposite of him.

Connor refuses to use the projection device at the moment, so Alex can only judge his emotions from his voice.

But voices can be deceiving.

"That's not the case, it's just that it's boring. Don't you think that the judiciary is completely controlled by people? Maybe I think too much, but from the beginning, I really believe in judicial justice, so I didn’t testify as Connor Stark. I didn’t think too much about it, I just thought it was enough to testify as a super kid. But I didn’t expect to drag the Justice League into the water in the end.”

"If you have to say that," Alex paused for a moment, in fact, it makes sense, but your father and all members of the Avengers, even the X-Men, are unwilling to let the Son of Superman see this world The injustice and imperfection of your life, without thinking that you will one day face this imperfection.Adults are always like this, if you want to procrastinate as long as you can, so as not to let you lose confidence in this world. "

In fact, he understood the truth, but he couldn't accept it for a while.Just like Maria said to him at the time - you can't save everyone.In fact, he has always known this truth. Superheroes are not omnipotent. They cannot catch up with your danger every time and save you.

However, he still...can't accept it from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone will say the truth, but it is still difficult to live this life.

"No matter what," Connor sighed, "No matter what, they have to pay the price in the end. Even if the price... doesn't seem to match with me, it still makes them pay the price."

It sounds like self-soothing.

Joan Thompson and Carlisle Davis insisted that Gary Osborne was the mastermind.But how could Gary Buel Osborne admit defeat so easily?Her lawyers were eloquent in court, and Mrs. Grady had produced evidence—the bank statements, the money the three had paid to buy her off.

But this is still not enough.

To put it bluntly, those two little girls were so stupid. What they did by their own hands did not let Gary Buel touch it, so that Gary Buel ended up being acquitted in court.

This made Connor sick.

On the other end of the phone, Alex seemed to see his struggle.In fact, he has seen a lot of children like Connor—if they can't be transformed during this period, then it will be difficult to control later.

So he told Connor in a very serious tone: "This is already a very good result. And you have to believe that Gary Buel Osborn can't always escape from the law. There is still a long period of litigation, and you can try again." Give it a try."

"It sounded like it was encouraging me to commit a crime."

"I can't accept this accusation. If you teach the son of the Avenger badly, even I will be beaten to death."

Alex is always there to brighten your day with little words.

It's like substituting "Son of the Avenger" for "Son of Superman."

This made Connor laugh: "You are right, the litigation period is still long, so there is no need to rush for a while."

Jessica stared at the phone until Alex hung up the phone before turning her head, pretending not to care.

Diana, who was driving, saw this scene through the rearview mirror: "If you want to talk to him, you can talk to him face to face. Men are really delicate, and girls have to talk about anything."

Alex:……

No, I think I can save one more time.

"That's right." Tess also added, "Men don't say it when they feel awkward, you have to guess it yourself. Can't you just say it frankly? Oh, I forgot. They will feel that because of Getting angry over a trivial matter and losing face."

Alex:……

enough!

Diana: "As a girl, it's such a headache to always have to be considerate of vulnerable men."

Alex:……

I'm calling fragile Steve right now.

Connor didn't get a call from Jessica.

In fact, he decided to figure out how much he was spending every day after Tony finished talking about not paying him battle damage.

Then he fell into deep thought: "Jarvis, can I really spend money like this?"

Jarvis: "Actually, compared to the Avengers, you don't spend much."

Connor: "..."

Okay, so Stark paid for the battle damage?

Because it wasn't his money, so he couldn't comment on it, he just felt that Tony's heart was really big.Then measure your influence.

"Jarvis, release the news that this Christmas auction will be held for Superboy's three/accompaniment/service to accompany him to play and take pictures.

Jarvis: "...as you wish."

Even if it was an artificial intelligence, he could really feel the speechlessness of Tony who was contradicted by Connor at the moment.

According to preliminary estimates, his Christmas auction proceeds should be able to cover his war damage in the first half of next year.

Connor tapped the keyboard, and came up with a question: "Who paid for the damage of the Justice League?"

"Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen share. The Metropolis damage is shared by Lex Luthor."

"what?"

Connor felt that he understood the reason why Lex Luthor hated Superman—I had to pay the battle damage to my mortal enemy for the money I earned so hard; ;I managed to earn money, and after paying the war damage to my sworn enemy, I became a super villain myself.

Seriously, Superman, what do you want a wife with such a sworn enemy?

Shocked by the words that popped up in his head, Connor instantly deleted the thought in his mind.

I didn't think anything, didn't say anything, everything was an illusion.

The self-hypnotic Connor immediately turned his attention to the battle damage in front of him, but whenever he saw a row of numbers, he couldn't help but think that he would have to sell himself several times to reach this level with Clark's salary. number.

He can't watch it anymore, he can't think about it anymore, he will go crazy if he thinks about it anymore.

Connor picked up the phone, and when he was about to send a message to Peter, he saw the missed call on it.

It's Jessica's.

He was silent for a while, but still sent a text message to Jessica: "Is there something wrong?"

Jessica's reply was quick: "About what happened last time, I have no other intentions. I just don't want to rely on you all the time."

And dialed the phone.

"Oh."

"What do you mean by 'oh'?"

"It just means I know it, and nothing else. Otherwise, what else would it mean? Is it because you think too much yourself, and I didn't think too much. Let me tell you, I'm so busy." Connor
