[Zhongyingmei] Did Dachao confess today?
Chapter 21 Did Da Chao Confess Today?
The newly released Iron Man didn't care about the bombs he dropped on the Internet at all. After the press conference, he drove his sports car back home.
As Tony's personal secretary, Pepper had a headache. After she found out, she disapproved of Tony's announcement of her identity, but she didn't expect that everything had been discussed. Tony stood on the podium and finally changed his mind and said directly that he was iron Man.
She followed Tony and kept refreshing Twitter. As Pepper expected, the tweet about Tony was pushed to the homepage of Twitter in an instant, and now people all over the world will know about the famous Mr. Stark, the richest man in New York, didn't want to make money but went to be a superhero instead.
However, there are pros and cons, and Stark's stock has risen a lot because of this incident, which can be regarded as a surprise.
Pepper followed Tony, pressing his temple with a headache.
Obviously, she is the president's secretary, and the salary she receives is also the secretary's salary, but she is acting like an old mother, which shouldn't be the case.
Pepper began to regret why he didn't have three heads and six arms, so that not only could he control Tony, who often had a lot of whimsical ideas and played cards out of common sense, but he also had extra energy to do other work.
But on second thought, with such a boss, no matter how many heads and hands she was given, she might not be able to handle it.
It can be seen that Ms. Pepper really touched the good secretary of the United States and suggested that Mr. Stark, a blood-sucking capitalist, give Ms. Pepper a raise in salary.
Pepper's face was full of unhappiness, and Tony could see it clearly.
"Well, I admit it." Tony said, "I was a little impulsive."
"Deniation is not my style, though."
Of course Pepper knew that, after all, he had been Tony's secretary for so many years, it was impossible not to understand Tony's character until now.
"I know." Pepper said, "It's just that, have you figured out how to explain it to Joshua?"
"I can't hide it from him."
Tony's face suddenly became stiff. He did what he wanted to do just now, but he forgot about his cousin who cared the most.
Headache.
What a headache, Tony thought.
If Tony was given another chance, he felt he might deny it.
Sure enough.
Pepper looked at Tony's wrinkled facial features, looked at him like looking at a child who has not yet grown up, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
As Pepper said, this matter cannot be hidden. When Joshua woke up, he saw that Tony was ranked first in Twitter search again. Social current affairs, topped the front pages of several mainstream daily newspapers.
Joshua restrained his urge to call Tony on the spot. He said goodbye to Clark and went back to his home, then sat on the sofa and touched his chest, he was afraid that he would poke him.
He took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, and after two beeps on the other side, he quickly got through.
"Hello, Mr. Little."
A gentle and elegant London accent came out of the receiver, it was Xiao Jia.
The person Joshua wanted to talk to was not Xiao Jia, so he said, "Xiao Jia. Let Tony answer the phone."
As an excellent artificial intelligence, Xiao Jia is quite humane, thanks to Tony's continuous improvement and data updates over the years. Hearing Joshua's words, Xiao Jia hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. sleep."
Joshua looked out the window, the sun was shining.
"Oh, that's fine." Joshua's mouth curled up, but his voice was somewhat sinister.
"It's okay, I'm going to New York to wake him up now."
Xiao Jia was at a loss for words for a moment, probably because he didn't know how to answer Joshua. After about two seconds, the phone was picked up by its real owner.
"Okay okay, but I gotta say, I don't think there's anything wrong with me."
Mr. Stark took the lead, laying down by his swimming pool leisurely basking in the sun, and said so to the phone.
"I've decided to do it."
Joshua grew up by Tony's side, how could he not know Tony's character?
If Tony Stark decides to do one thing, he must do it even if he knocks down the south wall, and no one can persuade him.
"Why didn't I know when you had the idea of being a superhero?" Joshua knew he couldn't stop it, so he just asked.
He started to check when he got home, sat on the sofa and read the news for a long time, only to find that the Iron Man in armor had done so many things in New York and California, but he had nothing in the metropolis Know.
He began to reflect on whether he had paid too much attention to Tony.
"I'm not a hero." Tony took off the sunglasses on his face, and he still looked like he didn't care about anything, but only Tony himself really knew what was going on in his heart.
"I'm just doing what I want to do."
Now many people on the Internet say that Tony is a sensational clown, and many people have started to put the title of superhero on Tony, but after thinking about it, Tony thinks they are wrong.
He wasn't trying to be a hero or a clown, he was just doing what he wanted to do.
The mistakes of the past have already been made, and he has no way to change the past, so he has to correct it now.
"But, brother. You don't tell me anything." Joshua was a little sad, both because he was the last to know about it, and because Tony didn't tell him about it.
He wanted Tony to depend on him too.
Although Joshua knew in his heart that Tony didn't distrust him, nor was he guarding against him, but he was used to taking all the responsibilities on himself. He resisted the ups and downs outside, just wanted to create a warm environment for Joshua. safe haven.And what he didn't have, he stuffed it to Joshua as if making up for it.
Everyone said that Tony Stark was a genius even better than his father. He took over Stark Enterprises at a young age and managed this huge weapons empire. But no one knew that when Maria and Howard died After that, for a long time, Tony needed to rely on a lot of alcohol to fall asleep.
But he is Joshua's safe haven, who will give him a safe haven?
Although he didn't say anything, it didn't mean he didn't need anything.
"I'll tell you." Tony said after a moment of silence, "It was just a little accident."
If it wasn't for some S.H.I.E.L.D. that popped up out of nowhere, this matter would have been resolved easily.
Tony thought about that S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Coulson and that black one, who looked like the director from a coal mine, and felt his teeth itch.
"Ok."
Those dissuading words that had already flowed to his lips were abruptly suppressed by Joshua. He thought for a while, and then said again: "It's just, brother, I will worry about you."
"You always don't cherish yourself." Joshua's voice was a little hoarse. Tony was afraid of him since he was a child, even now.
"I hope you're all right."
Joshua was afraid of many things, but no amount of fear was as great as the fear of losing.
And becoming a hero is not an easy task. They will be in crisis every moment, and if they are not careful, they will be doomed.
But dangers emerge in endlessly, but life is only once.
Tony heard it, his heart was sore, and he couldn't help smiling.He rubbed his face with his hands to suppress the smile that burst out from the corner of his mouth. There were unshaven beards on both sides of his cheeks, and his hands felt a little prickly.But Tony didn't feel it, and now he just felt a little happy.
"I don't die so easily."
Tony said, "I'm Tony Stark."
With or without that armor, he's Tony Stark.
"It's not bad." Joshua smiled thinking about Tony's armor on TV, the initial sadness and anger subsided, and Joshua began to feel happy for Tony again: "I think you will become a great man." hero."
There was a smile on the corner of Tony's mouth: "How do you say?"
"I don't know, maybe it's a kind of intuition." Joshua pretended to be mysterious, but he said it clearly.
"You'd make a great hero, at least, I think so."
"That's my honor, sir." Tony said: "You think so, I can't do something to meet your expectations."
"That would be best."
Joshua walked to his bedroom with his mobile phone. He didn't open the curtains when he left, and the bedroom was still dark, so he walked towards the window.
The bright sun poured out, illuminating the whole room.
"But, will you join the Justice League?"
Joshua asked.
As far as Joshua knows, the Justice League is the largest organization of heroes right now. It does not belong to any government and is completely independent.And now most of the heroes who can be said to be famous are members of the Justice League.
Superman is in Metropolis, so is Batman in Gotham next door, and even the superheroes in Star City and Beach City on the West Coast.
These are the most famous heroes, and there are many less famous ones.
It's not that there are no heroes who fight alone, but it's more difficult than organized and disciplined heroes.
Joshua was a little excited to think about the possibility of Tony joining.
"Maybe, I mean maybe." Joshua's voice was a little excited, "I can benefit from your light and meet Superman!"
But once he thought that his brother might join the Justice League, Joshua felt weird about it.
In Joshua's impression, the Justice League is mysterious and powerful, which doesn't seem to fit Tony's character.
"Superman Superman Superman." Tony's voice was a little unhappy. "You always talk about Superman. Although he did save my life-I am very grateful to him. But I still have to feel wronged for others."
"I like other heroes too!" Joshua said firmly, "They are all great."
"Really?" Tony snorted, "I know. It's just that your favorite is Superman."
The phone conversations between the two were encrypted by Xiao Jia's data, and it was impossible for ordinary people to know what the two of them were talking about.It's a pity that the two of them don't know each other. As a superman, Clark is like a bug in the computer software. His natural super hearing allows him to hear the conversation between Joshua and Tony without any effort.
Clark swore he didn't listen to it on purpose, it was just that there were so many voices on Earth.In order to stay focused, he is always used to listening to the voice he wants to hear, so such embarrassing things often happen accidentally.
But, it's not too bad.
The corners of Clark's mouth curled up a little, needless to say, anyone could tell that his body was full of happiness.
Tony on the other end answered Joshua's question.
"No." Tony said bluntly, "I won't join. To be honest, I don't think that alliance fits my temperament at all."
"The name is too vulgar."
"And." Tony snorted through his nose, thinking of the deal Fury made with him.
"Why can't I form a coalition myself?"
Mr. Stark, who is rich and powerful, said so.
That's right.
That's what Tony would do, Joshua thought.
Clark, who accidentally listened to it, was silent for a while, then turned to look at the taciturn brother beside him.
"Batman, I have something to ask you."
Batman frowned slightly, looking at Superman beside him.
"what's up."
Clark deliberated for a long time, and at the risk of being beaten up by his own alliance consultant, he still said: "Is the name of our alliance very vulgar?"
Batman: ...?
What, do I really have no kryptonite in stock?
It was a long time ago with Tony, and then one day, on a rare occasion, Xavier College made a video call to Joshua.
When Joshua answered the phone, he was taking the temperature of a little girl in the ward. She developed a high fever after playing in the water at night. Fortunately, she was found by her parents in the morning and sent to the hospital immediately so that she did not turn into pneumonia.
Children's lives are always fragile, and sometimes just a little cold can easily take their lives.
After asking the little girl's parents to take good care of her, Joshua left the ward and found a secluded place to receive the video.
The person who called was Charles. The laughter and the backs of the children playing in the video showed that the children in the college had a good life in the past two days, and they all grew up healthily in school, which made Joshua feel very happy. Happy.
"Is there something wrong, Professor?" Joshua asked Charles in the video.
Charles's hair was neatly combed, and his fluffy and soft brown hair fell obediently on the side of his face. When his blue eyes smiled, there were one or two fine lines at the corners of his eyes, which made him look more gentle and amiable.
"I have some things for you." Charles said, "It's Joey."
Joshua's face became serious.
After Joshua got off work, he went straight to the parking lot of the hospital. Of course, it wasn’t because he had to drive. In fact, for the convenience of going to work, Tony bought a house close to the hospital when he bought a house. It only takes 10 minutes to walk to the hospital. It can be reached, so Joshua didn't bother to buy a car.
He went to the parking lot because someone was waiting for him there.
Joshua jogged along the way, and almost bumped into a child in a wheelchair. Everyone knew Dr. Joshua, and asked curiously what Joshua was doing in such a hurry.
Joshua just smiled and said, "Someone is waiting for me."
When he arrived at the parking lot, Joshua breathed a little. He looked around and finally found the person he was looking for.
It's Uncle Wolf and Joey.
Joey was sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle eating marshmallows, while Uncle Wolf was leaning against his motorcycle with a white stick in his mouth. It was a little far away and he couldn't see clearly, but Joshua guessed it was cigarette.Uncle Wolf was wearing a wide T-shirt, which was similar to tights on him, and his full bronze muscles seemed to be shining in the sun.
Joshua pinched his slender arms, let alone muscles, not even much flesh.
The stark contrast made Joshua suddenly feel a little sad.
The professor called just now to talk about Joey's coming to the metropolis.
"He just learned how to control his own abilities. Yesterday he learned how to make a puppet from Qin, and said he wanted to give it to you by himself."
The professor's blue eyes were clearer than a stream, and he told Joshua about Joy's performance in school.
"Although he rarely plays with other children, he is very good and does not fight with other children."
It is obvious when you think about the comparison with other children of the same age as Joey. Other children will fight and quarrel because of grabbing toys, but only Joey can sit alone for a whole day.Compared with the lively and cheerful children of the same age, combined with what Joey has experienced, his silence is even more pitiful.
"That's okay." Joshua was a little relieved, but he was also a little worried that Joey would not fit in.
Even through a layer of screen Charles could see Joshua's worry, he was a little helpless, more amused.
"You know, Joey being a cat is cute, so some kids always hang around him, but Joey thinks they're a nuisance."
Thinking about the scene he saw, Charles couldn't help laughing until now.
Few people in this world can resist cats. Although Joey is human at heart, he will often turn into a little black cat to find a cool place to sleep. The little devil saw that Joey was always forced to sleep in Uncle Wolf's pocket in the end.
Because there are no children in the school who are not afraid of Uncle Wolf, this history teacher with fierce writing all over his body can scare the children to tears with just a slight stare.
"Joy said he wanted to go to Metropolis to find you, and Logan happened to be busy, so I took him with him." Charles asked, "Can you take care of him for two days?"
Of course this is what they wished for, Joshua nodded, and happily agreed that Joey would come to the metropolis.
When Uncle Wolf saw Joshua approaching, he patted Joey's shoulder on the back seat with his hand. He didn't spit out the white stick in his mouth. When he saw Joshua looking up at him, he raised his hand towards Joshua. Lifting his chin, he signaled that Joshua was coming.
But when Joshua walked in, he realized that it was not a cigarette in Uncle Wolf's mouth, but a lollipop stick.
It's rare.
Joshua thought, when did his former history teacher, Mr. Uncle Wolf with a bad reputation, fall in love with lollipops in his mouth?
Joey stuffed the last bite of marshmallow into his mouth, feeling the sweet taste melting in his mouth, and then jumped off the back seat of the motorcycle with his hands.
Joey has grown a lot taller, and the previous skinny feeling on his face has also gone down, and he has a little baby fat at this age. When he looked up at Joshua, Joshua almost thought he saw him when he was a child. Uncle Wolf.
"I'm leaving." Uncle Wolf gently pushed Joey towards Joshua, and said to Joshua, "I'll pick him up after the matter is settled."
"Are you going to leave now? Teacher?" Joshua felt a little regretful. He still wanted his teacher to have a meal before leaving.
"Yeah." Uncle Wolf nodded casually, and got on his motorcycle with his long legs.
"Take care of him." These words were addressed to Joshua.
"Don't make trouble." This was said to Joey.
After finishing speaking, he patted the heads of the two of them casually, and the motorcycle roared and then flew away.
He was unrestrained, like a wind that came and went without a trace, leaving only the two people in the parking lot looking at each other.
It was the first time Joey had been out for such a long time. He stayed in the dark basement for two years, and then was taken to Xavier College by Charles. Was taken by Wanda Kuaiyin to buy snacks.Now coming from the small town of Westchester to the modern big city of the metropolis, no matter who it is, it will be a little curious.The same is true for Joey. He raised his head and looked left and right. His brown cat eyes reflected the buildings and pedestrians on both sides of the street.
"Joy, are you afraid?"
Joshua originally wanted to hold Joey's hand, but Joey was probably not used to it, so he grabbed Joshua's clothes and followed him. He heard what Joshua asked him, and thought about it in his head , then shook his head.
He didn't feel scared, just a little unaccustomed to it.
There are a lot of people here, and the sound is very noisy, which will be a little uncomfortable for Joey, who has a keen hearing like a cat.
"I'm going to make steak and salad tonight, so let's go to the supermarket to buy some food, shall we?" Joshua squatted down and looked at Joey and asked.
Joey didn't object, nodded and dragged Joshua by the corner of his clothes and went to the supermarket with him.
Joshua bought something to eat and didn't go home in a hurry. Thinking about the favorite food of the children in the hospital and Joey's age, he decided to take Joey to eat the ice cream he and Barry had eaten last time.
The popularity of that ice cream shop has declined a bit compared to the previous few days, but there are still many people. Joshua came in time and just took an outdoor seat.
He ordered a banana split for Joey and bought himself a scoop of chocolate-flavored ice cream.
Joy had never eaten a banana split. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were shining when he looked at the banana split. Joshua felt distressed and happy.
"We'll go home after you finish eating. I'll help you make a big bed and make sure you sleep comfortably."
Joshua has already made a plan. Although Joey won't stay here for a long time, he has decided to spread his most comfortable mattress on Joey, and the quilt should also be the most breathable silk quilt, so that Joey won't feel uncomfortable. It's hot and won't feel stuffy.
It’s rare to take care of a child. Joshua is still a little excited now. He has made a list in his head of how to make Joey happy in the past two days. Joey is eating the banana split in the cup bit by bit. The slightly swaying little feet underneath also revealed one or two of his mood.
The two of them ate deliciously one bite at a time, but there was an uproar all around.
"It's Superman—!"
I don't know who yelled, and many people looked up at the same time, only to see the red robes flashing in the sky.
Both Joshua and Joey saw that Superman's figure disappeared into the sky, and it seemed that there was no danger for him to deal with.
Joey asked for the first time, "Is that Superman?"
Because he doesn't use his voice very much, his voice is still a little hoarse.
Joshua nodded with a smile and replied, "Yes, that's Superman."
As if remembering something, Joey began to turn over the small bag on his body. It was a dark brown bag, and Joshua hadn't paid attention to it. Now Joey opened the zipper and took out a small puppet from inside.
Joshua remembered.
Charles said that Joey learned to make a puppet from Jean Gray and wanted to give it to him.Joshua thought, this is the little puppet.
"Is it for me?" Joshua asked, "Thank you for the gift."
Joey gently put the puppet in Joshua's palm, and then pointed to the direction where Superman disappeared just now.
Joshua lowered his eyes to look at the puppet in his hand. The puppet was still very rough, and the stitches could still be seen on it. The head of the puppet was simply drawn with colored pens, and a red square was tied around the neck. A long cloak is made out of a scarf, while the puppet's limbs and body are made of blue cloth, and there is even a big red and yellow "S" on the chest of the dress.
Obviously, this puppet is the Superman who just disappeared.
Joshua was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Joey's gift would be a Superman puppet. It seemed that the small puppet had exhausted Joey's energy.
"You like Superman." Joey's speech was not very coherent, and it was interesting to speak slowly: "There is one on TV, he is very powerful."
Superman is not ordinary, but very, very powerful, Joshua thought, maybe Superman was broadcast on the news by TV when he was saving people, so Joey in school saw it.
Joey didn't finish: "I saw him lift a building."
Being able to lift a building is already very, very powerful in Joey's heart, because when Joey helped Uncle Wolf carry the bucket, he couldn't lift it himself. In the end, Uncle Wolf carried a bucket of water in one hand and let Joey sit on it. back to school on his shoulders.
Joey is still young, so he doesn't quite understand why heroes like Superman would help humans.
"Won't the rescued people be afraid?" Joey asked, he still remembers his parents calling him a monster in horror after seeing him turned into a cat, even if the teachers in the school said that mutants have Ability is a gift from God, but Joey still can't forget it.
Joshua felt sore in his heart, he knew why Joey asked this question, and because of this, he couldn't simply skip it.
Joshua thought for a while, "Maybe, some people will be afraid, after all, no one can please everyone."
"However, there are more and more people who like Superman. Because Superman is very powerful, he will help people in need, he saves their lives, and saves the lives of their loved ones."
Joey still didn't quite understand why.
"So as long as you help them, you won't be afraid?"
"Of course not." Joshua rubbed Joey's head and said with a smile, "Helping others is only part of the reason, and the other part is because of Superman himself."
"He knows that he is too powerful, so he puts himself very low. He knows that human beings will not like a god who is high and saves the world, so he treats himself as a human being and integrates into our lives like a human being."
"So, he can easily lift a tall building, and he is willing to bend down to save a cat trapped in the grass."
After finishing speaking, Joshua stretched out his hand and tapped Joey's forehead lightly, and asked, "Why do you think Superman doesn't wear a mask?"
Joey didn't know, so he wondered why, his eyes were full of curiosity.
"Because we need to see his face." Joshua whispered softly, as if telling another story: "His ability is too powerful, when we can only see his strength and see his When we don't understand his behavior, we will be afraid, and this fear will only increase day by day; but as long as he takes off his mask and reveals that gentle, compassionate and polite face, we will know that he is a good person, We don't need to be afraid of him."*1
Because of this, even though the Superman conspiracy theory among some people is rampant, there are still batches of people who are willing to believe that Superman supports Superman.
Joshua thought, as long as he looked at Superman's eyes as vast as the ocean, no matter who he was, he would be overwhelmed by his own charm.
Joey felt that he understood, but there were still many, many questions in his little head.
"Then... will Superman get hurt too?"
"Of course, even Superman gets hurt and dies."
Before Joshua could answer, someone behind him answered the question for him.
It was Clark. He was standing behind Joshua. He looked like he had just left work. Not only were his clothes a little messy, but he still had his work ID around his neck.
He was originally in good shape and tall, but the pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose covered his outstanding appearance, making him look a lot more ordinary.
Clark said: "Although Superman is not human, he is still human."
"If you are a person, you will get hurt."
And no one knows these things better than Superman himself.
Joey stuffed the last bite of ice cream in the cup into his mouth. It is his habit to eat everything. Because the memory of not being full before is too deep, once there is food, no matter how much Joey eats, he will eat everything. net.
"Is this your brother?" Clark asked Joshua. He bowed down to greet Joy. Shuya's sleeve.
Clark was stunned for a moment, wondering if he was a little unlikable, otherwise why did Joey hide from him so far?
"I'm sorry, it's not that he hates you, it's just that he's not used to getting along with strangers." Joshua patted Joey's hand lightly as comfort. Seeing Clark's embarrassed look, he asked, "Are you going to do it?" working already?"
"My colleagues and I went to report on Superman." Clark shrugged, he knew he was lying, so he was a little guilty, "You know, our editor-in-chief is as interested in Superman's report as a shark smelling blood. "
Mr. Perry, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet, is very interested in the patron saint of the metropolis, and he is determined to find out the true identity of Superman. Several times, Clark was almost caught by his boss. Fortunately, Batman Bruce was there, and his fingers With a light touch, all information naturally disappears without a trace.And editor-in-chief Perry probably never imagined that the superman he couldn't forget to know his true identity was his clumsy little reporter.
Joshua gave Clark the extra seat, so that the young reporter who had been busy all day could sit down and rest. The two chatted from left to right, and unknowingly talked about their wishes for the past two days.
Now Clark doesn't have any big wishes, but the editor-in-chief deducts his salary a little bit, which makes Clark worry that after paying the rent of the small apartment and the water, electricity and property fees, the living expenses for the next month may not be enough.
"During this time, my biggest wish may be to get rich." Clark sighed, making a rare joke.
Many troubles in this world are caused by money.
In fact, if Clark wants to, he can buy a few pencils and make diamonds to sell for money, but Martha and Jonathan taught him that he can’t get something for nothing, and a large number of diamonds popping out of thin air will also affect the economy, so it’s not a last resort. Clark would never do that.
Thinking about it, Clark felt a little regretful.
It is not easy to be a good boy who is not bewitched by money.
As for Joshua's recent wish, it is a bit difficult.
He is neither short of food nor short of clothing. Basically everything in this world can be bought with money, and what Joshua lacks most is money-thanks to the hard-working Stark gentlemen.
"I don't have any wishes." Joshua thought for a while, "If I must have any wishes."
He took a deep breath and said with an expectant expression: "I hope one day I can see Superman fall on my balcony and knock on my glass."
Clark couldn't help laughing. This kind of wish is weird, but Superman himself has heard it, so it's not impossible.
So Clark said, "Maybe your wish will come true."
But this is just Joshua's whim. In Joshua's mind, Superman has only seen him twice, and he may not even know his name. How could he suddenly go to the balcony of his house to knock on his glass? Woolen cloth?
So he laughed twice: "Hahahahahahaha, how is it possible."
Clark didn't say anything, just smiled.
He was thinking, what kind of reason would it be better for him to find.
After returning home at night, Joshua and Joey were ready to take a bath after dinner. Joey was embarrassed to ask Joshua to help him take a bath, so he turned into a little black cat and jumped into the sink.
The cat’s innate fear of water was barely tolerable for Joey. He stretched out his small paws and wiped it left and right on his body. Joshua’s hands were itchy while watching, but he couldn’t help Joey wash himself. .
Turn on the faucet, the warm water washed away the white foam on Joey's body, he jumped out of the sink, his wet cat's paws almost slipped on the smooth tabletop, fortunately Joshua had quick eyesight and hands to wipe it off with a soft dry towel Joey wrapped it in.
He wiped Joey's fur, but after a few strokes, he put Joshua's hand on his head, signaling him to take a bath first.
Joshua was still a little reluctant, and said to Joey, who was still a kitten, "Can you do it yourself?"
With a white towel on its head, the little black cat nodded condescendingly.
"Okay then." Joshua was extremely disappointed, but he respected Joey's idea, put Joey on the sofa in the living room, and turned on the TV by the way.
"Watch the TV and clean it."
Joshua told Joey, "The door to the balcony is still open for ventilation, so don't run to the balcony."
Joey stretched out his furry paw and patted Joshua's palm.
Joshua went to take a shower. On the sofa, there was only a small black cat the size of a palm rubbing its fur in the towel, while watching SpongeBob SquarePants on TV.
The floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony were half opened, and the evening wind blew in along the windows, bringing in some fresh air.
On TV, SpongeBob SquarePants was catching jellyfish with Pai Daxing. The fur on Joey's body was half dry. He stretched out his paws and couldn't help licking his fur. Suddenly, his ears moved, as if he heard something.
He looked up to where the sound came from, only to see an empty balcony.
Joey jumped off the sofa and wiped out what Joshua had told him before. The cat's curiosity took over, and he approached the half-open balcony quietly on catwalks, but only saw a flash. Gone red and blue figures.
Joey tilted his head, thinking it was dizziness, the gauze curtains on the balcony were blown by the breeze, swinging back and forth in front of Joey's eyes.
Joey endured and endured, but he still couldn't hold back and stretched out his claws to grab. The moment his claws were about to touch, his claws were gently pinched by a hand.
Joey's hair exploded, and he jumped back and growled threateningly at the person who appeared here.
And Superman, the protagonist discussed during the day, was hanging outside the window and made a silent gesture to Joey.
The smooth muscles wrapped in tights are not as exaggerated as those trainers in the gym, but every inch is extremely precise and perfect, showing the strength of Superman himself.
"Are you Joshua's pet?" Clark whispered to the little black cat squatting in the living room, covered in fur.
he never before
As Tony's personal secretary, Pepper had a headache. After she found out, she disapproved of Tony's announcement of her identity, but she didn't expect that everything had been discussed. Tony stood on the podium and finally changed his mind and said directly that he was iron Man.
She followed Tony and kept refreshing Twitter. As Pepper expected, the tweet about Tony was pushed to the homepage of Twitter in an instant, and now people all over the world will know about the famous Mr. Stark, the richest man in New York, didn't want to make money but went to be a superhero instead.
However, there are pros and cons, and Stark's stock has risen a lot because of this incident, which can be regarded as a surprise.
Pepper followed Tony, pressing his temple with a headache.
Obviously, she is the president's secretary, and the salary she receives is also the secretary's salary, but she is acting like an old mother, which shouldn't be the case.
Pepper began to regret why he didn't have three heads and six arms, so that not only could he control Tony, who often had a lot of whimsical ideas and played cards out of common sense, but he also had extra energy to do other work.
But on second thought, with such a boss, no matter how many heads and hands she was given, she might not be able to handle it.
It can be seen that Ms. Pepper really touched the good secretary of the United States and suggested that Mr. Stark, a blood-sucking capitalist, give Ms. Pepper a raise in salary.
Pepper's face was full of unhappiness, and Tony could see it clearly.
"Well, I admit it." Tony said, "I was a little impulsive."
"Deniation is not my style, though."
Of course Pepper knew that, after all, he had been Tony's secretary for so many years, it was impossible not to understand Tony's character until now.
"I know." Pepper said, "It's just that, have you figured out how to explain it to Joshua?"
"I can't hide it from him."
Tony's face suddenly became stiff. He did what he wanted to do just now, but he forgot about his cousin who cared the most.
Headache.
What a headache, Tony thought.
If Tony was given another chance, he felt he might deny it.
Sure enough.
Pepper looked at Tony's wrinkled facial features, looked at him like looking at a child who has not yet grown up, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
As Pepper said, this matter cannot be hidden. When Joshua woke up, he saw that Tony was ranked first in Twitter search again. Social current affairs, topped the front pages of several mainstream daily newspapers.
Joshua restrained his urge to call Tony on the spot. He said goodbye to Clark and went back to his home, then sat on the sofa and touched his chest, he was afraid that he would poke him.
He took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, and after two beeps on the other side, he quickly got through.
"Hello, Mr. Little."
A gentle and elegant London accent came out of the receiver, it was Xiao Jia.
The person Joshua wanted to talk to was not Xiao Jia, so he said, "Xiao Jia. Let Tony answer the phone."
As an excellent artificial intelligence, Xiao Jia is quite humane, thanks to Tony's continuous improvement and data updates over the years. Hearing Joshua's words, Xiao Jia hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. sleep."
Joshua looked out the window, the sun was shining.
"Oh, that's fine." Joshua's mouth curled up, but his voice was somewhat sinister.
"It's okay, I'm going to New York to wake him up now."
Xiao Jia was at a loss for words for a moment, probably because he didn't know how to answer Joshua. After about two seconds, the phone was picked up by its real owner.
"Okay okay, but I gotta say, I don't think there's anything wrong with me."
Mr. Stark took the lead, laying down by his swimming pool leisurely basking in the sun, and said so to the phone.
"I've decided to do it."
Joshua grew up by Tony's side, how could he not know Tony's character?
If Tony Stark decides to do one thing, he must do it even if he knocks down the south wall, and no one can persuade him.
"Why didn't I know when you had the idea of being a superhero?" Joshua knew he couldn't stop it, so he just asked.
He started to check when he got home, sat on the sofa and read the news for a long time, only to find that the Iron Man in armor had done so many things in New York and California, but he had nothing in the metropolis Know.
He began to reflect on whether he had paid too much attention to Tony.
"I'm not a hero." Tony took off the sunglasses on his face, and he still looked like he didn't care about anything, but only Tony himself really knew what was going on in his heart.
"I'm just doing what I want to do."
Now many people on the Internet say that Tony is a sensational clown, and many people have started to put the title of superhero on Tony, but after thinking about it, Tony thinks they are wrong.
He wasn't trying to be a hero or a clown, he was just doing what he wanted to do.
The mistakes of the past have already been made, and he has no way to change the past, so he has to correct it now.
"But, brother. You don't tell me anything." Joshua was a little sad, both because he was the last to know about it, and because Tony didn't tell him about it.
He wanted Tony to depend on him too.
Although Joshua knew in his heart that Tony didn't distrust him, nor was he guarding against him, but he was used to taking all the responsibilities on himself. He resisted the ups and downs outside, just wanted to create a warm environment for Joshua. safe haven.And what he didn't have, he stuffed it to Joshua as if making up for it.
Everyone said that Tony Stark was a genius even better than his father. He took over Stark Enterprises at a young age and managed this huge weapons empire. But no one knew that when Maria and Howard died After that, for a long time, Tony needed to rely on a lot of alcohol to fall asleep.
But he is Joshua's safe haven, who will give him a safe haven?
Although he didn't say anything, it didn't mean he didn't need anything.
"I'll tell you." Tony said after a moment of silence, "It was just a little accident."
If it wasn't for some S.H.I.E.L.D. that popped up out of nowhere, this matter would have been resolved easily.
Tony thought about that S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Coulson and that black one, who looked like the director from a coal mine, and felt his teeth itch.
"Ok."
Those dissuading words that had already flowed to his lips were abruptly suppressed by Joshua. He thought for a while, and then said again: "It's just, brother, I will worry about you."
"You always don't cherish yourself." Joshua's voice was a little hoarse. Tony was afraid of him since he was a child, even now.
"I hope you're all right."
Joshua was afraid of many things, but no amount of fear was as great as the fear of losing.
And becoming a hero is not an easy task. They will be in crisis every moment, and if they are not careful, they will be doomed.
But dangers emerge in endlessly, but life is only once.
Tony heard it, his heart was sore, and he couldn't help smiling.He rubbed his face with his hands to suppress the smile that burst out from the corner of his mouth. There were unshaven beards on both sides of his cheeks, and his hands felt a little prickly.But Tony didn't feel it, and now he just felt a little happy.
"I don't die so easily."
Tony said, "I'm Tony Stark."
With or without that armor, he's Tony Stark.
"It's not bad." Joshua smiled thinking about Tony's armor on TV, the initial sadness and anger subsided, and Joshua began to feel happy for Tony again: "I think you will become a great man." hero."
There was a smile on the corner of Tony's mouth: "How do you say?"
"I don't know, maybe it's a kind of intuition." Joshua pretended to be mysterious, but he said it clearly.
"You'd make a great hero, at least, I think so."
"That's my honor, sir." Tony said: "You think so, I can't do something to meet your expectations."
"That would be best."
Joshua walked to his bedroom with his mobile phone. He didn't open the curtains when he left, and the bedroom was still dark, so he walked towards the window.
The bright sun poured out, illuminating the whole room.
"But, will you join the Justice League?"
Joshua asked.
As far as Joshua knows, the Justice League is the largest organization of heroes right now. It does not belong to any government and is completely independent.And now most of the heroes who can be said to be famous are members of the Justice League.
Superman is in Metropolis, so is Batman in Gotham next door, and even the superheroes in Star City and Beach City on the West Coast.
These are the most famous heroes, and there are many less famous ones.
It's not that there are no heroes who fight alone, but it's more difficult than organized and disciplined heroes.
Joshua was a little excited to think about the possibility of Tony joining.
"Maybe, I mean maybe." Joshua's voice was a little excited, "I can benefit from your light and meet Superman!"
But once he thought that his brother might join the Justice League, Joshua felt weird about it.
In Joshua's impression, the Justice League is mysterious and powerful, which doesn't seem to fit Tony's character.
"Superman Superman Superman." Tony's voice was a little unhappy. "You always talk about Superman. Although he did save my life-I am very grateful to him. But I still have to feel wronged for others."
"I like other heroes too!" Joshua said firmly, "They are all great."
"Really?" Tony snorted, "I know. It's just that your favorite is Superman."
The phone conversations between the two were encrypted by Xiao Jia's data, and it was impossible for ordinary people to know what the two of them were talking about.It's a pity that the two of them don't know each other. As a superman, Clark is like a bug in the computer software. His natural super hearing allows him to hear the conversation between Joshua and Tony without any effort.
Clark swore he didn't listen to it on purpose, it was just that there were so many voices on Earth.In order to stay focused, he is always used to listening to the voice he wants to hear, so such embarrassing things often happen accidentally.
But, it's not too bad.
The corners of Clark's mouth curled up a little, needless to say, anyone could tell that his body was full of happiness.
Tony on the other end answered Joshua's question.
"No." Tony said bluntly, "I won't join. To be honest, I don't think that alliance fits my temperament at all."
"The name is too vulgar."
"And." Tony snorted through his nose, thinking of the deal Fury made with him.
"Why can't I form a coalition myself?"
Mr. Stark, who is rich and powerful, said so.
That's right.
That's what Tony would do, Joshua thought.
Clark, who accidentally listened to it, was silent for a while, then turned to look at the taciturn brother beside him.
"Batman, I have something to ask you."
Batman frowned slightly, looking at Superman beside him.
"what's up."
Clark deliberated for a long time, and at the risk of being beaten up by his own alliance consultant, he still said: "Is the name of our alliance very vulgar?"
Batman: ...?
What, do I really have no kryptonite in stock?
It was a long time ago with Tony, and then one day, on a rare occasion, Xavier College made a video call to Joshua.
When Joshua answered the phone, he was taking the temperature of a little girl in the ward. She developed a high fever after playing in the water at night. Fortunately, she was found by her parents in the morning and sent to the hospital immediately so that she did not turn into pneumonia.
Children's lives are always fragile, and sometimes just a little cold can easily take their lives.
After asking the little girl's parents to take good care of her, Joshua left the ward and found a secluded place to receive the video.
The person who called was Charles. The laughter and the backs of the children playing in the video showed that the children in the college had a good life in the past two days, and they all grew up healthily in school, which made Joshua feel very happy. Happy.
"Is there something wrong, Professor?" Joshua asked Charles in the video.
Charles's hair was neatly combed, and his fluffy and soft brown hair fell obediently on the side of his face. When his blue eyes smiled, there were one or two fine lines at the corners of his eyes, which made him look more gentle and amiable.
"I have some things for you." Charles said, "It's Joey."
Joshua's face became serious.
After Joshua got off work, he went straight to the parking lot of the hospital. Of course, it wasn’t because he had to drive. In fact, for the convenience of going to work, Tony bought a house close to the hospital when he bought a house. It only takes 10 minutes to walk to the hospital. It can be reached, so Joshua didn't bother to buy a car.
He went to the parking lot because someone was waiting for him there.
Joshua jogged along the way, and almost bumped into a child in a wheelchair. Everyone knew Dr. Joshua, and asked curiously what Joshua was doing in such a hurry.
Joshua just smiled and said, "Someone is waiting for me."
When he arrived at the parking lot, Joshua breathed a little. He looked around and finally found the person he was looking for.
It's Uncle Wolf and Joey.
Joey was sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle eating marshmallows, while Uncle Wolf was leaning against his motorcycle with a white stick in his mouth. It was a little far away and he couldn't see clearly, but Joshua guessed it was cigarette.Uncle Wolf was wearing a wide T-shirt, which was similar to tights on him, and his full bronze muscles seemed to be shining in the sun.
Joshua pinched his slender arms, let alone muscles, not even much flesh.
The stark contrast made Joshua suddenly feel a little sad.
The professor called just now to talk about Joey's coming to the metropolis.
"He just learned how to control his own abilities. Yesterday he learned how to make a puppet from Qin, and said he wanted to give it to you by himself."
The professor's blue eyes were clearer than a stream, and he told Joshua about Joy's performance in school.
"Although he rarely plays with other children, he is very good and does not fight with other children."
It is obvious when you think about the comparison with other children of the same age as Joey. Other children will fight and quarrel because of grabbing toys, but only Joey can sit alone for a whole day.Compared with the lively and cheerful children of the same age, combined with what Joey has experienced, his silence is even more pitiful.
"That's okay." Joshua was a little relieved, but he was also a little worried that Joey would not fit in.
Even through a layer of screen Charles could see Joshua's worry, he was a little helpless, more amused.
"You know, Joey being a cat is cute, so some kids always hang around him, but Joey thinks they're a nuisance."
Thinking about the scene he saw, Charles couldn't help laughing until now.
Few people in this world can resist cats. Although Joey is human at heart, he will often turn into a little black cat to find a cool place to sleep. The little devil saw that Joey was always forced to sleep in Uncle Wolf's pocket in the end.
Because there are no children in the school who are not afraid of Uncle Wolf, this history teacher with fierce writing all over his body can scare the children to tears with just a slight stare.
"Joy said he wanted to go to Metropolis to find you, and Logan happened to be busy, so I took him with him." Charles asked, "Can you take care of him for two days?"
Of course this is what they wished for, Joshua nodded, and happily agreed that Joey would come to the metropolis.
When Uncle Wolf saw Joshua approaching, he patted Joey's shoulder on the back seat with his hand. He didn't spit out the white stick in his mouth. When he saw Joshua looking up at him, he raised his hand towards Joshua. Lifting his chin, he signaled that Joshua was coming.
But when Joshua walked in, he realized that it was not a cigarette in Uncle Wolf's mouth, but a lollipop stick.
It's rare.
Joshua thought, when did his former history teacher, Mr. Uncle Wolf with a bad reputation, fall in love with lollipops in his mouth?
Joey stuffed the last bite of marshmallow into his mouth, feeling the sweet taste melting in his mouth, and then jumped off the back seat of the motorcycle with his hands.
Joey has grown a lot taller, and the previous skinny feeling on his face has also gone down, and he has a little baby fat at this age. When he looked up at Joshua, Joshua almost thought he saw him when he was a child. Uncle Wolf.
"I'm leaving." Uncle Wolf gently pushed Joey towards Joshua, and said to Joshua, "I'll pick him up after the matter is settled."
"Are you going to leave now? Teacher?" Joshua felt a little regretful. He still wanted his teacher to have a meal before leaving.
"Yeah." Uncle Wolf nodded casually, and got on his motorcycle with his long legs.
"Take care of him." These words were addressed to Joshua.
"Don't make trouble." This was said to Joey.
After finishing speaking, he patted the heads of the two of them casually, and the motorcycle roared and then flew away.
He was unrestrained, like a wind that came and went without a trace, leaving only the two people in the parking lot looking at each other.
It was the first time Joey had been out for such a long time. He stayed in the dark basement for two years, and then was taken to Xavier College by Charles. Was taken by Wanda Kuaiyin to buy snacks.Now coming from the small town of Westchester to the modern big city of the metropolis, no matter who it is, it will be a little curious.The same is true for Joey. He raised his head and looked left and right. His brown cat eyes reflected the buildings and pedestrians on both sides of the street.
"Joy, are you afraid?"
Joshua originally wanted to hold Joey's hand, but Joey was probably not used to it, so he grabbed Joshua's clothes and followed him. He heard what Joshua asked him, and thought about it in his head , then shook his head.
He didn't feel scared, just a little unaccustomed to it.
There are a lot of people here, and the sound is very noisy, which will be a little uncomfortable for Joey, who has a keen hearing like a cat.
"I'm going to make steak and salad tonight, so let's go to the supermarket to buy some food, shall we?" Joshua squatted down and looked at Joey and asked.
Joey didn't object, nodded and dragged Joshua by the corner of his clothes and went to the supermarket with him.
Joshua bought something to eat and didn't go home in a hurry. Thinking about the favorite food of the children in the hospital and Joey's age, he decided to take Joey to eat the ice cream he and Barry had eaten last time.
The popularity of that ice cream shop has declined a bit compared to the previous few days, but there are still many people. Joshua came in time and just took an outdoor seat.
He ordered a banana split for Joey and bought himself a scoop of chocolate-flavored ice cream.
Joy had never eaten a banana split. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were shining when he looked at the banana split. Joshua felt distressed and happy.
"We'll go home after you finish eating. I'll help you make a big bed and make sure you sleep comfortably."
Joshua has already made a plan. Although Joey won't stay here for a long time, he has decided to spread his most comfortable mattress on Joey, and the quilt should also be the most breathable silk quilt, so that Joey won't feel uncomfortable. It's hot and won't feel stuffy.
It’s rare to take care of a child. Joshua is still a little excited now. He has made a list in his head of how to make Joey happy in the past two days. Joey is eating the banana split in the cup bit by bit. The slightly swaying little feet underneath also revealed one or two of his mood.
The two of them ate deliciously one bite at a time, but there was an uproar all around.
"It's Superman—!"
I don't know who yelled, and many people looked up at the same time, only to see the red robes flashing in the sky.
Both Joshua and Joey saw that Superman's figure disappeared into the sky, and it seemed that there was no danger for him to deal with.
Joey asked for the first time, "Is that Superman?"
Because he doesn't use his voice very much, his voice is still a little hoarse.
Joshua nodded with a smile and replied, "Yes, that's Superman."
As if remembering something, Joey began to turn over the small bag on his body. It was a dark brown bag, and Joshua hadn't paid attention to it. Now Joey opened the zipper and took out a small puppet from inside.
Joshua remembered.
Charles said that Joey learned to make a puppet from Jean Gray and wanted to give it to him.Joshua thought, this is the little puppet.
"Is it for me?" Joshua asked, "Thank you for the gift."
Joey gently put the puppet in Joshua's palm, and then pointed to the direction where Superman disappeared just now.
Joshua lowered his eyes to look at the puppet in his hand. The puppet was still very rough, and the stitches could still be seen on it. The head of the puppet was simply drawn with colored pens, and a red square was tied around the neck. A long cloak is made out of a scarf, while the puppet's limbs and body are made of blue cloth, and there is even a big red and yellow "S" on the chest of the dress.
Obviously, this puppet is the Superman who just disappeared.
Joshua was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Joey's gift would be a Superman puppet. It seemed that the small puppet had exhausted Joey's energy.
"You like Superman." Joey's speech was not very coherent, and it was interesting to speak slowly: "There is one on TV, he is very powerful."
Superman is not ordinary, but very, very powerful, Joshua thought, maybe Superman was broadcast on the news by TV when he was saving people, so Joey in school saw it.
Joey didn't finish: "I saw him lift a building."
Being able to lift a building is already very, very powerful in Joey's heart, because when Joey helped Uncle Wolf carry the bucket, he couldn't lift it himself. In the end, Uncle Wolf carried a bucket of water in one hand and let Joey sit on it. back to school on his shoulders.
Joey is still young, so he doesn't quite understand why heroes like Superman would help humans.
"Won't the rescued people be afraid?" Joey asked, he still remembers his parents calling him a monster in horror after seeing him turned into a cat, even if the teachers in the school said that mutants have Ability is a gift from God, but Joey still can't forget it.
Joshua felt sore in his heart, he knew why Joey asked this question, and because of this, he couldn't simply skip it.
Joshua thought for a while, "Maybe, some people will be afraid, after all, no one can please everyone."
"However, there are more and more people who like Superman. Because Superman is very powerful, he will help people in need, he saves their lives, and saves the lives of their loved ones."
Joey still didn't quite understand why.
"So as long as you help them, you won't be afraid?"
"Of course not." Joshua rubbed Joey's head and said with a smile, "Helping others is only part of the reason, and the other part is because of Superman himself."
"He knows that he is too powerful, so he puts himself very low. He knows that human beings will not like a god who is high and saves the world, so he treats himself as a human being and integrates into our lives like a human being."
"So, he can easily lift a tall building, and he is willing to bend down to save a cat trapped in the grass."
After finishing speaking, Joshua stretched out his hand and tapped Joey's forehead lightly, and asked, "Why do you think Superman doesn't wear a mask?"
Joey didn't know, so he wondered why, his eyes were full of curiosity.
"Because we need to see his face." Joshua whispered softly, as if telling another story: "His ability is too powerful, when we can only see his strength and see his When we don't understand his behavior, we will be afraid, and this fear will only increase day by day; but as long as he takes off his mask and reveals that gentle, compassionate and polite face, we will know that he is a good person, We don't need to be afraid of him."*1
Because of this, even though the Superman conspiracy theory among some people is rampant, there are still batches of people who are willing to believe that Superman supports Superman.
Joshua thought, as long as he looked at Superman's eyes as vast as the ocean, no matter who he was, he would be overwhelmed by his own charm.
Joey felt that he understood, but there were still many, many questions in his little head.
"Then... will Superman get hurt too?"
"Of course, even Superman gets hurt and dies."
Before Joshua could answer, someone behind him answered the question for him.
It was Clark. He was standing behind Joshua. He looked like he had just left work. Not only were his clothes a little messy, but he still had his work ID around his neck.
He was originally in good shape and tall, but the pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose covered his outstanding appearance, making him look a lot more ordinary.
Clark said: "Although Superman is not human, he is still human."
"If you are a person, you will get hurt."
And no one knows these things better than Superman himself.
Joey stuffed the last bite of ice cream in the cup into his mouth. It is his habit to eat everything. Because the memory of not being full before is too deep, once there is food, no matter how much Joey eats, he will eat everything. net.
"Is this your brother?" Clark asked Joshua. He bowed down to greet Joy. Shuya's sleeve.
Clark was stunned for a moment, wondering if he was a little unlikable, otherwise why did Joey hide from him so far?
"I'm sorry, it's not that he hates you, it's just that he's not used to getting along with strangers." Joshua patted Joey's hand lightly as comfort. Seeing Clark's embarrassed look, he asked, "Are you going to do it?" working already?"
"My colleagues and I went to report on Superman." Clark shrugged, he knew he was lying, so he was a little guilty, "You know, our editor-in-chief is as interested in Superman's report as a shark smelling blood. "
Mr. Perry, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet, is very interested in the patron saint of the metropolis, and he is determined to find out the true identity of Superman. Several times, Clark was almost caught by his boss. Fortunately, Batman Bruce was there, and his fingers With a light touch, all information naturally disappears without a trace.And editor-in-chief Perry probably never imagined that the superman he couldn't forget to know his true identity was his clumsy little reporter.
Joshua gave Clark the extra seat, so that the young reporter who had been busy all day could sit down and rest. The two chatted from left to right, and unknowingly talked about their wishes for the past two days.
Now Clark doesn't have any big wishes, but the editor-in-chief deducts his salary a little bit, which makes Clark worry that after paying the rent of the small apartment and the water, electricity and property fees, the living expenses for the next month may not be enough.
"During this time, my biggest wish may be to get rich." Clark sighed, making a rare joke.
Many troubles in this world are caused by money.
In fact, if Clark wants to, he can buy a few pencils and make diamonds to sell for money, but Martha and Jonathan taught him that he can’t get something for nothing, and a large number of diamonds popping out of thin air will also affect the economy, so it’s not a last resort. Clark would never do that.
Thinking about it, Clark felt a little regretful.
It is not easy to be a good boy who is not bewitched by money.
As for Joshua's recent wish, it is a bit difficult.
He is neither short of food nor short of clothing. Basically everything in this world can be bought with money, and what Joshua lacks most is money-thanks to the hard-working Stark gentlemen.
"I don't have any wishes." Joshua thought for a while, "If I must have any wishes."
He took a deep breath and said with an expectant expression: "I hope one day I can see Superman fall on my balcony and knock on my glass."
Clark couldn't help laughing. This kind of wish is weird, but Superman himself has heard it, so it's not impossible.
So Clark said, "Maybe your wish will come true."
But this is just Joshua's whim. In Joshua's mind, Superman has only seen him twice, and he may not even know his name. How could he suddenly go to the balcony of his house to knock on his glass? Woolen cloth?
So he laughed twice: "Hahahahahahaha, how is it possible."
Clark didn't say anything, just smiled.
He was thinking, what kind of reason would it be better for him to find.
After returning home at night, Joshua and Joey were ready to take a bath after dinner. Joey was embarrassed to ask Joshua to help him take a bath, so he turned into a little black cat and jumped into the sink.
The cat’s innate fear of water was barely tolerable for Joey. He stretched out his small paws and wiped it left and right on his body. Joshua’s hands were itchy while watching, but he couldn’t help Joey wash himself. .
Turn on the faucet, the warm water washed away the white foam on Joey's body, he jumped out of the sink, his wet cat's paws almost slipped on the smooth tabletop, fortunately Joshua had quick eyesight and hands to wipe it off with a soft dry towel Joey wrapped it in.
He wiped Joey's fur, but after a few strokes, he put Joshua's hand on his head, signaling him to take a bath first.
Joshua was still a little reluctant, and said to Joey, who was still a kitten, "Can you do it yourself?"
With a white towel on its head, the little black cat nodded condescendingly.
"Okay then." Joshua was extremely disappointed, but he respected Joey's idea, put Joey on the sofa in the living room, and turned on the TV by the way.
"Watch the TV and clean it."
Joshua told Joey, "The door to the balcony is still open for ventilation, so don't run to the balcony."
Joey stretched out his furry paw and patted Joshua's palm.
Joshua went to take a shower. On the sofa, there was only a small black cat the size of a palm rubbing its fur in the towel, while watching SpongeBob SquarePants on TV.
The floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony were half opened, and the evening wind blew in along the windows, bringing in some fresh air.
On TV, SpongeBob SquarePants was catching jellyfish with Pai Daxing. The fur on Joey's body was half dry. He stretched out his paws and couldn't help licking his fur. Suddenly, his ears moved, as if he heard something.
He looked up to where the sound came from, only to see an empty balcony.
Joey jumped off the sofa and wiped out what Joshua had told him before. The cat's curiosity took over, and he approached the half-open balcony quietly on catwalks, but only saw a flash. Gone red and blue figures.
Joey tilted his head, thinking it was dizziness, the gauze curtains on the balcony were blown by the breeze, swinging back and forth in front of Joey's eyes.
Joey endured and endured, but he still couldn't hold back and stretched out his claws to grab. The moment his claws were about to touch, his claws were gently pinched by a hand.
Joey's hair exploded, and he jumped back and growled threateningly at the person who appeared here.
And Superman, the protagonist discussed during the day, was hanging outside the window and made a silent gesture to Joey.
The smooth muscles wrapped in tights are not as exaggerated as those trainers in the gym, but every inch is extremely precise and perfect, showing the strength of Superman himself.
"Are you Joshua's pet?" Clark whispered to the little black cat squatting in the living room, covered in fur.
he never before
