"I can't believe it." Clark stood in the Batcave and said expressionlessly.

Dick shrugged: "Actually, it's unbelievable that you suddenly appeared here, especially when the world doesn't seem to be in any major crisis."

"I entrusted Ruby to you, and I have never dared to come to see her, but I finally mustered up the courage, but you told me that she is no longer here?" Clark was so angry that he could barely speak, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Bruce stopped what he was doing, put down the keyboard, and said, "Because you didn't ask me."

Clark was so blocked by this sentence that he almost suffocated on the spot.

That's right, he's not Ruby's father, brother, or lover. How can Bruce be obliged to tell him Ruby's movements?What's more, this guy has this kind of virtue in the first place, expecting him to take the initiative to inform, it is better to expect Ruby to take the initiative to come to him to play.

"Where is she?" Clark took a deep breath and asked.

"Don't you have super hearing?" Dick asked suspiciously, "How can you not know where she is?"

"I don't listen to other people's privacy unless they call for help," Clark said.

"Oh," Dick said, "well, it's superhero."

"She's at Tony Stark's place." Bruce said, "The Avengers have just finished a big battle, and now it seems to be on vacation. Stark has been staying in San Francisco for vacation."

"You don't step out of the gate." Dick added, "I don't know what I'm doing all day."

"..." Clark showed a hesitant expression, "But, Stark... isn't he a playboy?"

"Yeah, we've talked about it a lot," Dick said, "but you know, Bruce is a playboy."

"If you're worried about her, you can find her in San Francisco." Bruce was still operating his device without looking up.

"Didn't you think of going to find her?" Clark was a little puzzled.

"Too busy," Dick replied. "You know, Gotham and Bludhaven... there's no one day off."

Jason really had the idea of ​​going to San Francisco, but was interrupted several times by unexpected events.

Not to mention that San Francisco and Gotham are one on the east coast and the other on the west coast, and the distance between them can even cause a four-hour time difference, not to mention the time it takes to go back and forth.

"..." Clark hesitated to speak.

Bruce glanced at him and saw through his mind: "Aren't you afraid to go alone?"

Clark: "..."

Yes, but don't say it so loudly!I also want to save face!

Bruce continued: "Talk to her more, Ruby is actually a very reasonable child, the less you communicate with her, the easier it is for misunderstandings."

Clark: "...well, when did you become a communicative educator?"

Bruce was expressionless: "I never was, it's just that you are so bad at this."

Clark, who was mercilessly accused, couldn't hold back a word, and could only return in resentment.

After floating in the air for a while, he felt that he couldn't do it again.

Bruce is right, he still needs to talk to Ruby more and get in touch, otherwise the two will only go further and further apart.

After making up his mind, Clark turned around and flew towards San Francisco.

……

Ruby sat in a soft chair, even though the warm sunlight shone through the skylight on her body, she was still shivering, as if she was extremely cold.

The system is gone.

The biggest trump card she could rely on was torn into pieces so easily.

And while this person shredded her last hole card, he was able to tell her so easily and freely: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you in the future."

Hearing these words, Ruby could hardly bear it any longer, and wanted to fight this white demon, but he just laughed, and then easily disabled all her skills.

All the skills on the electronic screen turned gray at this moment.

At the same time, Ruby could no longer maintain her deformed form, and disintegrated into the original form of a palm-sized symbiote. Being pinched by this demon, it was like holding a ball that could be placed at will. decorations.

He laughed very happily, like a child who got a new toy: "It turns out that the system has such great authority... Your AI assistant, has it never operated this control panel?"

"Because it won't be as perverted as you!" Ruby wanted to escape from his grasp, but was held tightly by him, unable to move.

"I'm sad when you say that." Tony said, but there was no sad expression on his face, but a smile on his face, "After all... I have always been serious in front of you."

serious?

Yes, at least he has never done anything outrageous in front of himself, but he has never stopped those crazy people outside from letting loose.

Ruby just thought he might be a playboy who didn't care much about his private life, and now it seems that those moments when he can't see him, those areas she is not allowed to enter, and those feelings that make her feel weird but don't know why , are all the dark shadows hidden under the bright surface that she ignores.

He gently put Ruby on his lap, his fingers were still typing on the keyboard, he flipped through the system's memory files, and finally stopped on a dynamic screen.

In the picture, a girl who looks sixteen or seventeen years old stands in front of a glass window in Las Vegas, raising her palm-sized face to look at the reflection in the glass.

"Is this what you were supposed to be?" Tony rubbed Ruby on his knee.

Ruby was so annoyed that she didn't want to talk to him at all.

Tony didn't get a response and didn't care. He fiddled with the system for a while, and didn't know what delicate operation he had done. Ruby felt her body start to change shape uncontrollably, and soon became sixteen. Looks like seven years old.

She had been placed on Tony's lap, but the sudden deformation had left her straddling his lap, her caramel-coloured eyes close at hand, gazing into her face.

Ruby subconsciously wanted to stand up and stay away from this guy, but he stretched out his hands to wrap around her slender waist, fixing her firmly on his lap.

Ruby almost lost her balance, so she subconsciously stretched out her hand to hold his shoulder.

She raised her eyes and was caught firmly by those caramel eyes.

Those eyes that were always smiling, with a cynical casualness and arrogance, now seemed to be burning with fire.

A mass of fire that Ruby couldn't understand, but felt fear from the bottom of her heart.

Aggressive, almost all-consuming fire.

He stretched out his hand to caress her face, his movements were extremely gentle, as if he was touching some fragile and beautiful porcelain.

"You're supposed to be like this..." he whispered, "so beautiful."

Ruby's mind went blank.

She suddenly thought that maybe the degree of bewitchment also varies from person to person.

For weak people, this is just an external motivation that makes them flock to her, but they don't have any capital that can make her favor them. In the end, they can only turn into humble desires, succumb to the power she can bring, and become Servant of power.

And for powerful people, bewitching just gave them an even more irresistible motivation to use their already strong enough power to seize her ownership.

Bind her firmly by his side, not allowing anyone to get her, except himself.

This is the deadly danger hidden behind Tony Stark's 90.00% bewitching degree.

Realizing this, Ruby pushed Tony violently, stood up from him, took several steps back, and almost hit the electronic screen.

She said in a panic, "You...you are not allowed to touch me!"

She thought of those people outside, those naked people who indulged day and night, and then thought of the way Tony Stark looked at her like a burning flame just now, her scalp felt numb and her back felt chilly.

Tony looked into her jewel-like eyes, the flames in his eyes were still burning brightly: "Really? I also want to show you what a real pervert is."

Ruby gritted her teeth: "...crazy."

Tony laughed in a low voice as if he had heard something particularly funny. He pressed the sleep button, and the electronic screen instantly went black.

"Don't worry, my little girl." He said with a smile, "I won't hurt you, you can still do whatever you want... Believe me, I did all this just to make us better good."

His eyes seemed to become darker: "We can stand at the top of this world together...side by side."

Ruby looked at him like a monster.

She turned and ran away, all the way out of the laboratory, as if fleeing something terrible, even bumping into someone without noticing.And Tony just looked at the back of her escape with a nonchalant smile on his face.

Pepper was stumbled by the little girl who ran out suddenly. She stabilized her body and looked back at the rash girl.

The girl's eyes flickered in front of her.

Pepper frowned.

Those ruby-like bright and clear eyes are all too familiar.

In the entire new Stark Tower, there is only one person with such beautiful and clean eyes that make people palpitate.

——The child named Ruby.

She adjusted her facial expression, walked into the laboratory, and immediately saw Tony Stark lying in a chair with a smile on his face.

"Tony," she said, "that kid..."

The smile on Tony Stark's face disappeared immediately after Pepper appeared. He stood up, picked up the wine bottle that was placed aside, and took several sips into his mouth.The wine trickled down the corner of his mouth, soaking his white shirt and sticking it tightly to his skin.

"Children always have rebellious moments." After he finished drinking, he threw the bottle away, "Just let her stay by herself for a while... Oh, by the way, the stones you bought last time, You can send a few yuan to coax the little girl later, she will like it."

"I'm here to tell you that this quarter's report is not good--" Pepper pointed to the open-air garden outside and the men and women who indulged in sex inside, "You can't put your mind on these things anymore, Tony!"

"Don't worry, Pepper," Tony said, and he laughed. "That's a lot of business."

……

Ruby, who had transformed into a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, trotted all the way back to her room. She even almost fell down several times because she was a little uncomfortable with her body.

She locked the door tightly and hid herself in a corner.

Beside her, the sculpture of an angel is still pouring wine tirelessly, and the aroma of the wine lingers around her, making people intoxicated.

Her fair ankles sank deep into the soft carpet, her insteps arched involuntarily with tension and fear.

She knew she was in trouble.

——There is a big trouble, a big trouble that can't be shaken off.

No.

She has to figure it out.

If nothing is done, it will only get worse and worse——

At this moment, from the corner of her eye, she saw something moving at high speed in the sky through the one-way mirror.

She subconsciously raised her head and looked towards the light spot.

Clark Kent's red cloak turned into a red streamer in the sky, descending on the top of the new Stark building like a falling star.

He lowered his head to look at the carnival crowd in the garden pool, with a slightly puzzled expression on his godly handsome face.

Ruby's heart skipped a beat. She quickly stood up, patted the window, and shouted, "Clark! Clark!"

However, as if Clark didn't hear him at all, he landed on the ground and walked towards the interior of the building in the face of people's curious and admiring eyes.

At this moment, Ruby saw Tony Stark stepping forward, they seemed to say something, but Ruby couldn't hear a word.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that there never seemed to be any external noise in her room, and she could sleep peacefully even if there was a carnival party outside her window day and night.

- This room is absolutely soundproof.

Realizing this, Ruby immediately ran to the door of the room. She pressed the button to open the door, but the AI ​​in the room kept reminding her:

Authentication failed, insufficient permissions.

"Damn it, Tony Stark! Let me out!!" Ruby almost collapsed on the spot, she slammed on the door hard, but it was useless.

The door seemed to be made of steel, and her attack was like a mayfly shaking a tree.

……

Clark shook Tony's outstretched hand politely: "I heard that Ruby is with you?"

Tony raised his eyebrows: "That's right. What's wrong?"

Clark was momentarily at a loss for words.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Actually, I came to find her..."

"Oh, that's not a coincidence." Tony said with a smile, "She just went back to her room to rest, and she may be asleep now."

"Really...?" Clark said hesitantly.

"Yeah." Tony shrugged, "Maybe you can come back next time."

While talking, a helicopter landed on the tarmac, and several staff members were carrying boxes after boxes of things down.

"Oh, Ruby is going to be so happy." Tony glanced at the helicopter and laughed.

"What's that?" Clark asked.

"The fresh desserts have just been airlifted from Paris, and I requested that they be delivered within five hours, and now..." Tony looked at his watch, "It's exactly four hours, five and ten minutes."

Clark: "..."

Well, Ruby is really going to be overjoyed.

Maybe she really likes Tony Stark. After all, he is such a person who is willing to spend money and has a sweet tooth like her. Moreover, their personalities may be quite compatible, except...

"You didn't let her go to these parties, did you?" He pointed hesitantly at the reveling crowd behind him.

God, the champagne foam flying in the wind is about to wet his cloak.

"Of course not, how could I let children drink alcohol?" Tony said, "What? Do you want to participate?"

Clark: ...I don't want to.

"Maybe you can wait here for a while, maybe she'll wake up later," Tony said.

"No." Clark sighed, "I'll come back in a few days."

"You can do whatever you want," Tony said with a smile.

Clark sighed silently, turned around and flew away from the Devil Island.

Tony raised his head, and he watched the back of the god on earth disappear into the blue sky, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"It seems..." he said softly, "We need to take some extra protective measures."

After finishing speaking, he looked towards the French windows facing him not far away, as if he saw Ruby standing behind the window with an angry expression.

He smiled at Ruby behind the one-way glass: "You can't be snatched away casually... After all, my little girl is so popular."
