[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

the other side.

After Ruby finished shouting, she shivered and shrank in the corner.

She was a little scared.

I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of those green laughing gas, or because I'm afraid of the coming uncontrollable future.

It's a pity that she was only given two seconds to be afraid.

Two seconds later, she felt the ground start to vibrate, as if something was about to break through the ground.

Ruby wanted to look down, but just as she had this thought, she saw the ground in front of her eyes was suddenly overturned, and a red and blue shadow flashed in front of her.

She felt that she was hugged tightly by a pair of powerful arms, so strong that her body was about to deform.

In the next second, the scene in front of her was spinning. After she realized it, she had already left the mirror maze and was floating in the air of Gotham with her arms.

Not far away, the Ferris wheel in the amusement park is shining with psychedelic lights, like a never-ending rainbow hanging in the sky.

Clark's hand supported her, and her arm was so slender that it seemed as if it would break if it was slightly bent.

They float in the air facing each other.

The blue eyes and the red eyes meet under the Gotham sky.

There was an almost cautious temptation in their eyes.

……

——Until this moment, Clark was still in a daze.

Less than ten seconds had passed since he heard Ruby's voice.

He rushed to Gotham on instinct and rescued Ruby, almost without thinking in the process.

But now, looking at the familiar pair of ruby-like eyes in front of him, he finally had a real feeling.

A heart that seemed to be floating in the air uncontrollably finally fell to the ground.

He asked tentatively, "Ruby?"

Too many questions, too many doubts, he didn't know where to start, and could only condense all his emotions into these two short words.

And Ruby's reaction speed is also very fast.

She almost only paused for a moment, and forcibly suppressed all unnecessary emotions in her heart.

She said, "We'll talk about our affairs later, Clark, save Jason!"

Clark was finally awakened by Ruby's voice from his wandering soul, and he reacted before saying, "...Jason?"

"The clown wants to kill us." Ruby said in the simplest terms. "He locked him up."

Clark heard the two key words "clown", and frowned almost subconsciously.

"Good," he said.

Immediately afterwards, there was another burst of high-speed flight comparable to teleportation. Ruby was firmly held on the chest by Clark, facing the damp and cold wind of Gotham, shuttled through the forest of reinforced concrete, and almost turned into a piercing smog. streamer.

He broke open the door of a warehouse, rushed in, and punched the clown in the face who was sitting in front of two screens looking surprised.

The clown fell to the ground in response, with nosebleeds spraying all over the floor.

Ruby ignored the clown at all, she looked directly at the two screens, watching Jason's situation anxiously.

However, the screen on the clown's side was also blacked out, and she could only see one of the two screens, which was already filled with green laughing gas.

Clark grabbed the clown by the collar, punched him again, and asked, "Where's Jason?"

The dizzy clown took two seconds to figure out the situation, and then he looked at Ruby with dissatisfaction: "Oh, little monster, it's too unkind to call Superman to be a foreign aid, this is not the rule of our Gotham .”

Ruby also punched the clown from far away, hitting the clown on the bridge of the nose. She was angry and anxious: "Say it quickly! Otherwise, I'll jump off the cliff with you!"

The clown giggled, the more he laughed, the happier he was, as if he was not afraid of everything in front of him at all. He even said with a smile: "There are no decent cliffs in Gotham, how about jumping off the Wayne Building? The scene It must be extremely beautiful, hahahahaha..."

Clark tilted his head and listened for a moment.

He heard Batman's voice not far away:

"Where's the bomb, Jason?"

……

"I think I've found them," Clark said.

Ruby's eyes lit up, her big jewel-like eyes looked at Clark, those eyes were full of surprise and expectation.

Clark looked into those eyes, and for some reason there was an almost imperceptible tingling in his heart.

——She used to look at him with such eyes.

Instead of eyes mixed with fear and guard, even though that emotion was well hidden by her, he could still feel it.

Clark knocked out the clown who was still laughing non-stop with one punch, and then hugged little Ruby, who was not as tall as his waist, with one hand, and lifted the clown up with the other hand, and then Once again, it turned into a stream of light and flew towards where Jason and Bruce were.

……

"I promise she'll be fine." Bruce said, throwing the defused bomb aside, ready to help Jason up.

Jason reached out a hand and gently grasped his outstretched arm.

He raised his head and asked, "...how do you guarantee it?"

What kind of plan is [-]% successful?

Bruce was about to answer, but suddenly felt the ground under his feet start to tremble.

He frowned, subconsciously protecting Jason behind him, and in the next second, the wall of the room was smashed open, and countless gravel and concrete fell like raindrops.

Both Jason and Batman looked in the direction where the wall was forcibly broken.

They saw the god of the world in a red cloak standing outside the house against the light. With one hand, he gently hugged Ruby, who was looking at Jason anxiously, while the other hand lifted him roughly. Looking at the clown who has been knocked out, the clown's face even has black bruises from the iron fist.

His eyes swept across Bruce and Jason, and then fell on Ruby's face, gentle and quiet, even with a calming power.

"He's fine," he said. "Don't worry."

After a pause, he softly called out the name that had been lingering in his mind for a long time as if sighing.

"Ruby."

Bruce looked back at Jason who was in shock, and said, "This is a guarantee."

Jason was silent for a while: "...you are right."

Ruby never told him that she was still having an affair with Superman! !

"Jason!" Ruby jumped out of Superman's arms nimbly. Clark subconsciously wanted to help her, but stretched out his hand and retracted it awkwardly.

Bruce saw all this in his eyes, raised his eyebrows slowly, glanced at Clark, and then at Jason.

Ruby quickly got into Jason's body and activated the healing skills, but she soon discovered that Jason was seriously injured, with at least twenty broken bones, large and small, and it was estimated that he would not be able to heal in a short time.

Jason sensed what Ruby was doing, and he said, "I'm fine, Ruby, let's get out of here first."

Bruce said: "You have to come with me first, Jason, I can cure you."

Jason glared at him, and was about to say something, when Ruby in his body whispered, "I think Batman is right, Jason."

"?" A question mark appeared above Jason's head, "Are you actually speaking for him?"

"Look, he chose you in the end, which means he still loves you very much, and he is so rich, he can definitely provide you with the best treatment, which is better than me being busy here." Ruby said.

And maybe even hug Batman's thigh... After all, now that Clark knew she had escaped from each other's illusion, it was safer to have two S-classes by his side than just one at such a critical moment.

"He's not at all..." Jason subconsciously wanted to refute, but the words stuck in his throat again.

Jason: ...Gah, I'm so annoying.

Bruce wanted to carry him, but Jason patted his hands away. With a straight face, he stood up against the wall and said, "I can walk by myself."

"...Okay." Thinking of the existence of Ruby, a female creature, Bruce didn't force it.

Seeing that the two members of the Bat family seemed to be leaving, Clark hurriedly stood behind them and stretched out Er Kang's hand: "That... Ruby?"

Ruby: "..."

This is probably a blessing rather than a curse, a disaster that cannot be avoided...

System: At least someone saved you, you can't just throw it away after using it up...

Ruby: I would like to, but I dare not...

Although she is no longer afraid of things like heat gaze, she won't be able to stand if Clark throws her back to her hometown again.

So Ruby could only crawl out of Jason's body and looked at Clark carefully.

Jason clearly sensed that Ruby was afraid of Clark, and he subconsciously took a step forward to get in front of Ruby.

Bruce, who knew all the truth, said, "Jason, come here."

Jason was startled, and immediately glared at Bruce: "You, you didn't see..."

Don't you see that Ruby is afraid of this Kryptonian who pops out of nowhere!

Bruce saw it, and of course Clark saw it too.

He silently lowered his eyes, and there was a little sadness in his blue eyes.

But that's okay.She was right to be afraid of herself.

He raised his eyes and looked at Ruby who was hiding behind Jason, only showing a pair of big eyes looking at him, and said softly as if he was afraid of scaring her: "It's okay, don't be nervous, I just want to say... I'm glad you Come back, Ruby."

Ruby was slightly taken aback.

return?

where to go backBack to Earth?

Is he acquiescing that the earth is her home?

Ruby's eyes lit up.

Seeing that Ruby didn't show any repulsion, Clark continued, "I'm glad you can become a human. Although I remember, it seems that the symbiont can't do this..."

"Clark." Ruby said, she tried to make her tone a little more relaxed, "There are mutants on the earth, you have to allow the existence of mutant symbiotes on the symbiote planet..."

Clark: "..."

Well, it makes sense!

The only Jason who doesn't know what a symbiote is: "... what symbiote? Aren't you a Dittomon?"

Ruby: "...you are the Ditto, when did I admit it!"

Clark looked at Ruby's angry look, and suddenly thought of the little squirrel who had a temper with him in the Fortress of Solitude.

At that time, when the little squirrel became angry, his cheeks were bulging, leaving him with the back of his head and a big fluffy tail sweeping back and forth, with joy written all over his face.

Looking back now, it might have been one of his happiest times, but he couldn't keep her.

"I'm sorry, Ruby, I know you treat me..." Clark felt that his throat was dry, and he couldn't finish this sentence, so he switched to the next sentence abruptly, "I mean, you don't have to pay too much attention to me, I don't It will interfere with your life. It's just... If you need it, I want you to know that I am always there. If you don't want to tell me about some things, don't tell me, I won't ask."

In fact, he has too many questions.

How on earth did you come out of each other's illusions?

Why are you so different from your kind?

How many secrets are hidden behind your back?

— but none of that matters anymore.

Not important at all.

He just needs to know that the child in front of him has a heart that is purer than all human beings.If she didn't want to say it, or if she didn't feel the need to say it, that was her own choice, and Clark respected her choice.

Ruby looked at Clark with some surprise.

His blue eyes are like the purest and most flawless bay, reflecting the spotless sky, and the emotions hidden in those eyes are quiet and turbulent.

"...Thank you, Clark," Ruby said.

Clark opened his eyes slightly.

He took a step forward cautiously and walked in front of Ruby.

He squatted down and looked at the little girl's eyes, which were so clear that they never seemed to be polluted by any negative emotions. He stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, just like he did when he rubbed the little squirrel's furry tail.

"You don't need to say thank you to me," he said softly. "You never need to."

Because I owe you so much.

The world owes you so much.

Fortunately, he finally got a chance to repay, and that's enough.

Ruby looked up into Clark's eyes, and after a moment she looked away.

She sighed in her heart, and said to the system: "It's strange, the world has suddenly become so gentle, is it because I finally look like them enough?"

system:"……"

The system thinks it can't answer this question.

Bruce looked at Clark and Ruby, he squinted his eyes, and suddenly had some thoughts in his mind.

"If you don't have a clear plan in the future." Bruce said, "You can come to me."

Both Ruby and Clark were slightly taken aback, and turned to look at Bruce.

Jason frowned, wanting to say something, but in the end he hesitated.

Ruby's eyes lit up, and she said, "...is that okay?"

This... This is the richest man in Gotham!Is he looking for an heir to the property?

Clarke's eyes lit up after the initial daze.

This seems like a good idea.

First of all, he must not be able to continue to take care of this child, after all...there were some unpleasant things between them.Those pasts are like the cracks on broken porcelain. Even if they are put together as before, those marks are as difficult to erase as the scars of a knife.

If you want someone to take care of Ruby, maybe Batman is indeed a good choice.

He is a trustworthy person, leaving aside other issues, at least with his family conditions, he will definitely give Ruby the best quality of life.

Moreover, Clark is not too worried that Bruce will treat Ruby harshly. After all, Bruce also knows everything that happened to this child.

No one would be cruel to such a child.

……

In fact, Bruce had his own considerations.

An alien creature who came to earth alone.

A kind child with a pure heart.

A human weapon that is particularly capable of fighting and has no weaknesses.

A poor little guy who has PTSD psychological barriers to Kryptonians.

A superpower who can make the Avengers so interested that they even set up a top-secret entry.

A hero who sacrificed himself to save the world when no one knew about it, and never told anyone about it.

A girl that Jason likes so much.

He would be happy to guide such a kid, Bruce thought.

Help her, train her, teach her, even...provide her with endless candies, desserts, and junk food—after all, Bruce remembered, the child most likely relied on eating to maintain his energy supply.

So, facing Ruby's question, he nodded: "Of course."

Ruby froze for a moment.

In her impression, under normal circumstances, humans would not trust her so easily?

After all, her abilities are so dangerous.

She looked at Bruce with some confusion and incomprehension, and asked softly, "...Aren't you afraid that I will harm you?"

Bruce shook his head slightly.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ruby even felt that a smile seemed to flash across his usually serious face.

He said, "You won't."

……

——Actually, many answers do not require us to prove them deliberately.

Just as many wars are won without bloodshed and sacrifice.

Sometimes, just one look is enough.
