The four stood quietly, each thinking about the things that bothered them.

Bruce would have been the most relaxed guy on the team, not that he stayed out of it, but that everything he saw was getting better and he didn't need to worry about anything.

And he has the most awkward relationship with everyone.

It's very strange, everyone here is in the upper echelons of American imperialism, it's a very small circle, people can't be strangers if they haven't met, there are always all kinds of dances, parties and shows that can be Whenever they network, there are always all kinds of cooperation opportunities that allow them to shake hands and talk to each other, not to mention that Bruce is the darling of the social field.

The same well-known playboy, the same exaggerated debauchery from time to time, Bruce's external image is completely different from Tony.

To use an analogy, Bruce.Wayne is the real version of James.Bond, even if he is exaggerated and presumptuous, he is also personable, and when he loses his temper, he is reserved and elegant. Sometimes, he has a British aristocratic tone. If it is not necessary, he will not let anyone down.

Tony.Stark is an overly handsome, overly rich little bastard.

He is best at making everyone angry, speaking and acting in a standard American style, full of street gangsters, shameless, egotistical, and even a little disgusting and vulgar.

If he likes you enough, you will find that he is actually cute; if he doesn't like you?God, you'd want to shoot him in the head.

Even with Carl as the communicator, even if the entire world agrees that the four of them are perfect friends in their few but harmonious joint actions, Bruce and Tony just don't get along.

They repulse each other from the bottom of their hearts, but it is not so obvious because they are friends with Cal.

Compared with their usual performance, this scene of standing together and fighting each other calmly is not very hostile.

Carl must be aware of the unexplained discord between them, Bruce and Tony both understand that Carl just looks confused and doesn't care about anything, but in fact he is very clear-headed.

Bruce even bets that Carl knows he's the only one of the four who's on good terms with all of them.

Lex, Tony, and Bruce have a complicated relationship, and they do have some kind of unconventional friendship, but there's never a rivalry outside of friendship.

Perhaps Carl is the most sober of the four—Bruce finally has such a realization at this moment.

He stood aside, watching Lex sneer at Tony, while Tony responded head-on without giving in, sneering and stabbing Lex's heart again and again:

"They also said that I have no shame. Those who talk nonsense should come and see what you are like now. I am ashamed of myself in front of you, Luther."

Cursing with Carl, Bruce thought, but Carl wouldn't mind Tony saying that.

They're really good friends, the kind of friends they've had with each other since they were teenagers.If Carl is determined to maintain his friendship with Tony, and makes an effort to introduce him to his other friends, it means that he already knows very well what the consequences of hanging out with Stark will be.

Stark.The genius and selfishness of the family, the arrogance and cruelty of the family, and the same way of expressing one's feelings by stinging others.

Bruce has always felt that people who can become friends with Starks are admirable. Carl can get along well with every Stark.

Calm and tolerant, completely different from his pampered, sweet, juvenile appearance.

How would he react to Tony's words?Bruce observed quietly, Carl looked at Tony, turned his head to stare at Lex, and did not express any opinion on Tony's speech.

"As the one closer to Carl, I forgive your jealousy," Lex said.

"What? Fuck, what are you talking about..." Tony's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Lex had already turned his attention to Bruce, who was watching from the sidelines. He put a standardized smirk on his face and said, "I heard you guys discussing Iron Man, why don't you let me join in? As a scientist, I am He's interested."

"We were talking about Iron Man," Tony said immediately, "but we've been talking about it for too long while you guys are doing business on the sidelines. I said, now that we have two Metropolitans, why not Talk about Superman?"

"Because I hate Superman." The smile faded from Lex's face.

Bruce observed Carl's expression very carefully, but he only saw a clear smile.

Even if Lex didn't seem to think it was enough, he went on:

"So the bragging, the fanfare, the cult stuff, I hear that every day in Metropolis, people blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 'Witness' lies."

“It’s like loving Superman has become a fad, like Superman fans have become a social symbol, like people can express their self-image by being obsessed with him — and I think this is ridiculous.”

"New York is a quiet sanctuary, thank you very much, and I don't want to lose that peace just yet."

The smile on Carl's face widened, and the arc was not obvious, but he obviously liked Lex who was speaking generously at the moment.

Is it my illusion?Bruce thought, Carl's unintentional words opened the floodgates of his memory. At that moment, what Carl said was so similar to what the little boy who stumbled and ran towards him with his little hands raised, not only the tone , including the logic of their rhetoric and what was revealed after that.

Those who are favored know that they will be forgiven even if they go out of line, and they justly ask the other party to pay for themselves.

At the same time, he knows how to measure, he will cry and want to eat meat, hug and kittens, but he is very quiet when he is injured, and he will try his best not to cry when he is really sad.

—— Presumptuous and patient.

Sometimes you think he is just a silly kid, and sometimes you think he can understand everything.

An incredible guess emerged in Bruce's mind. He never ignored his flashes of inspiration at certain times. Human intuition is a kind of magical harbinger. Sometimes, intuition can guide people to find the truth better than evidence.

His heart was pounding wildly for the truth that he couldn't believe, and didn't dare to ignore.

He might have shown something, because Carl, who was staring at Lex affectionately, looked up at him knowingly, and gave him an unknown but reassuring smile.

Lex's tirade elicited a moment of silence, and even Tony, who caused the scene, didn't expect Lex to deliver a short speech.

But he was stunned for almost a moment, and then he said, "You know, as a friend of Superman, I forgive you for being jealous of him."

"You know Superman?" Bruce asked immediately.

Iron Man knows Superman, Tony is Iron Man, so of course Tony knows Superman.Bruce asked this, partly because he wanted to hear Tony's answer, and partly because he wanted to see Carl's expression.

It's impossible to expect him to give Lex a clue, maybe Tony's view of Superman can make him a little different.

"I know a lot of superheroes." Tony said vaguely, "Superman, Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk... and mutants, and I have a good relationship with them."

Carl laughed: "I took you to Xavier College, Nini. Charles likes you very much, and Sister Dale thinks you are both annoying and cute like me."

"Delete the obnoxious."

"I guess you can't delete it, it's your factory settings." Carl said with a smile in his voice.

"Okay, okay, I know what you think of me," Tony said, crossing his arms. "What about Wayne and Luthor? What do you think?"

"Uh..." Carl looked around, as if he was not sure about the situation.

"Tell him, Honey," Lex said, "I want to know what you think of me, too."

"Why don't we start with Bruce?" Carl suggested.

Bruce, who was named, was taken aback.

Until now, he still can't believe that he actually had the conjecture "Karl is Superman".

Not to mention that the distance between Carl and Superman may be as far as a galaxy. Just because Carl and Lex are together, Bruce can first rule out the speculation that "Carl is Superman".

Lex.Luthor hated Superman from the bottom of his heart, and he was Superman's arch enemy.

He is a scientist, but also a businessman and a politician. Any one of these three identities is quite dangerous, and a person who can integrate these three identities is even more dangerous.

That means that he is aware of the inferiority of human beings, he understands the rules of the operation of human society, and can use them flexibly.

And he's the worst kind of enemy - Lex.Luther is understandable.

The most frightening thing is the incomprehensible, and the fear of the unknown runs through the entire development of human beings.

The second scariest thing is the understandable, because in order to avoid the fear of the unknown, people will move infinitely closer to the understandable, even though they know that the understandable will cause pain.

Suppose there are two roads in front of people, one road is blurred, the other road is full of broken glass and pointed knives, most people will choose the second road.

"Wayne?" Lex said inexplicably.

He stared at Bruce, as if he wanted to see the other person's inside through the skin, Bruce didn't say anything, just looked back with a smile, as if he was engaged in a silent and invisible duel.

"I'd love to hear it," Bruce said.
