[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun

What is Krypton?

This planet is located [-] light-years away from the earth, and the light emitted when it was destroyed had more than [-] years to reach the surface of the earth, flashing in the night sky for an instant.

But on Earth, no one knows the name of this planet.Everyone knows it's where Superman comes from, where Superman came from, and where Superman lost his first home.It is endowed with special meaning because of the son of tomorrow wearing a red cloak, because this Kryptonian living on earth, people have various imaginations and interpretations of Krypton, whether they are curious, regretful, or fearful.

But those are no longer important to Clark at this time, because he is in a dim nebula, gazing at the homeland he has never met.Huge shards of kryptonite flew past him, and huge amounts of radiation from the extinguished red sun remained, but Superman felt no discomfort.

—because Audrey was beside him, holding his hand.A faint white shimmer shrouded them, and the will of the earth was still protecting its children from a distance of fifty light years.

"It's beautiful." Audrey said softly, "It's also great."

Clark couldn't describe how he felt at this moment.He just held Audrey's hand tightly, and in this ruined world, she was the only living and real thing.

The countless fragments after the star explosion were reassembled by gravity to form a strangely shaped celestial body.The stars in the galaxy no longer exist, and the planets also disappear, leaving only the remains of Krypton floating in place silently, like a huge relic, and hundreds of millions of undead who sleep here.

And Clark and his lover were the only visitors in this dark and lightless ruin, and the glimmer of light on their bodies faintly illuminated the scars on the surface of the planet.The warm wind around Audrey shone, making her look like a glowing firefly. Holding Clark's hand, she slowly flew close to this cold and silent tomb that belonged to a once brilliant civilization.

The surface of the earth is already carbonized scorched earth, only sporadic peaks and canyons still retain their last form before destruction.Clark flew across the surface of the land where no one needed him to save, and suddenly recognized the wreckage of a mountain he had seen in the video.

He murmured: "This is..."

"...Agong City." A voice rang softly in his ear.Clark turned his head, his Audrey was looking at him with a smile, her eyes sparkling with crystal light.

"The lab forces you to watch the last images recorded by your spacecraft over and over again, forcing you to talk to the Kryptonian AI and learn the culture and history of those Kryptonians." Seeing Clark's surprised expression, Audrey said softly with a smile, "So, in that universe, I grew up listening to the stories of your home planet...the proverbs of the four gods, the stories of your ancestors, the crystal bridge and the crystal pillar...I remember every detail."

Audrey moved closer, and gently touched the corners of Clark's eyes with her fingers."If Earth is your second home planet, Krypton is like mine, Carl," she said.

Clark blinked, only then belatedly realized he was crying.But unlike the emotions overflowing from his eyes, the vague hole in Clark's heart he felt was filled—he was still the one left behind by his home planet, but belonged to Kar-El. Half of the loneliness was taken over by others, but the effect was completely disappeared.

Before his thinking could react, his body had already hugged Audrey tightly in his arms.

The Kryptonian's god is not God, yet in this embrace that took place on the ruined ruins, he just felt the rib that was missing all those years ago finally return to his empty rib.

In the ruins under their figures, a huge "S"-shaped logo was deeply embedded in the cracks in the ground, silently facing the dim sky.

...how long has it been?

Where is he?

Batman is listening.He is listening to his own breathing.He still has more to spare...his physical strength has not been exhausted.But his breath was not like his breath.He heard two voices.Repeated.gross.His voice.No.The voice does not belong to him.

"Look, Batman." A strange voice from nowhere said sharply, "What do you think this city actually looks like?"

He doesn't listen.He won't listen.Hide yourself.Don't fall for the trap.The dark is safe... hide in the dark.He's going to get out...he can get out.Gotham needs him.His family needs him.The Justice League needs him, too.

"Batman, come and see." A voice came from another corner, "A story you don't know. About the history of Gotham, our great cause."

Hide yourself.Don't make a sound, don't be spotted by the owl.

Batman took a deep breath and turned into the dark corner again.

In this huge maze, Batman has lost his sense of time.He speculated that he had been in this maze for more than a hundred hours...or maybe more.He didn't know...he didn't know how far he had come, let alone how long he could last.He's not at his limit yet.He has to go out.

His legs were as heavy as lead as he walked and lurks in the maze without a break.The accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles made every movement of him need to fight with will and instinct, and his spirit was even more shaky.

He hasn't closed his eyes for too long, toasting with his comrades in Tony Stark's mansion seems to be a past life - or maybe it doesn't exist, it's just some kind of comfort he imagined alone in the dark .

No.Don't be shaken.

When was the last time he saw sunlight?Why is he here?

Brace yourself, Bruce.trust yourself.

Batman stopped again, leaning against the wall, swallowing hard.His universal belt was taken away, no props, no hooks, no water or food supplements.His nerves began to twitch with thirst, and his strength declined more and more rapidly.

A cold wind brushed against his cheeks, Batman's hair stood on end, and he hid in the darkness again.Darkness is safe.Trust in the dark.Don't be spotted by the owls...

"You're nothing, Batman," said the owl's voice. "Listen to the story. Look ahead, and behind."

Stay focused, Bruce.don't listen.Think about why you are here.Batman sorted out in his mind what he had experienced before he fell into the maze.

After refusing the help of Qi Girl—perhaps the worst decision he ever made in this matter—he studied the claw that Audrey sent.

The results of the study were horrifying.He—or it, had some kind of self-healing factor in him that made him immortal.Maybe that's why it crashed from the top of the Wayn Tower, shattered, but was able to bounce back a few minutes later into the sewer.

The results of genetic testing were even more bizarre.A genetic match revealed that the Talon was... Nightwing, the great-grandfather of Dick Grayson, his eldest adopted son and circus orphan.

He stared silently at the test results.

There are more and more doubts. Gotham, the city he thought he knew clearly in the past, suddenly showed him a darker corner of himself than darkness.And he has to stop it before it's too late.Whoever was behind it... whatever the Court of Owls was.

Then, Batman left the Batcave and walked into Gotham's sewers.That's where Qi Nuo met Claw. If he started from there, he could find clues and find out the court of owls——

boom!

In the dark, he was knocked unconscious.When he awoke, a group of owl-like voices were laughing shrillly above his head: "Welcome to the maze, Batman!"

Memories so far.

In the following time, he kept wandering... and kept returning to the original point.The same giant owl statue stood in the center of the brightly lit room, and names were written on the high walls around the maze.The murmur of the fountain lures the thirsty nerves of the lost.

But he can't drink.Possibly poisonous—he believed the water was a thousand percent poisonous.

Back in the dark, Bruce!

Another gust of wind blew past his ears.Why is it windy?Are they here?Batman looked up.Nothing has changed, the babbling fountain, the giant owl statue, the name on the wall—

Not here!He's going to find a way out!

Batman turned again, dormant into the shadows.He walked into the maze again from a different direction-he wanted to get out, survive, find the truth, and save Gotham.

……

No, not this way.

Audrey pursed her lips and stopped in front of a dead end.She took a step back and closed her eyes slightly.The white figure turned into a blur of wind again, and quickly moved along the corridor in the maze.

Audrey and Clark received the contact when they were about to return to the atmosphere - to be precise, only she received it.The person on the other end of the communication was Alfred. His voice was a little tired, but he still asked her politely and restrainedly if she knew the whereabouts of Batman.

Batman has been out of touch for 103 hours—meaning he was out of touch shortly after Audrey left Gotham.The Robins investigated around Gotham, almost turned the entire sewer system upside down, and found nothing except to find Holmes again.

The five gangs guarding the railway line were all greeted by the red hood, and finally, a little leader from the Whisper Society who had been repeatedly injured said: "When Batman leaves, be with the mad girl!"

Audrey never imagined that in the few tens of hours she left the earth, things in Gotham would take a turn for the worse—just when Alfred contacted Audrey, countless owl Lee The claws swooped up from the corners of the city and started their hunting plan.

"I'll help stop these killers, Lily." Clark frowned, and whispered, "Can you find Bruce?"

"I think I can." Audrey raised her head, looked at Clark's figure under the moonlight, and gave him a firm smile.

She disappeared instantly and appeared in Gotham's sewers.Robin's inspections here are meticulous enough, but there are some supernatural things missing in his investigation methods... Audrey is speeding through the sewers like a real wind, with a white gleam in his eyes.

She made it—she saw it.It was a wall made of granite, and the bricks fit together perfectly.But in the field of vision with added elemental power, there is a huge hole in that wall, which is emitting wisps of black mist.

Audrey took a deep breath, her figure blurred, and she turned into a whirlwind and rushed into the wall.

Then, as if passing through an invisible wall, she twirled and fell into a maze.She stood up and surveyed the space surrounded by high walls with vigilance.

She heard a thousand surprised whispers in the darkness above, and figures in owl masks leaned out to get a better view of her.

"Who is she?" came a whisper.

"I haven't seen..." "I'm not from Gotham..." "How did you get in here?"

Audrey flew up expressionlessly, she raised her head, her eyes pierced the darkness, and looked in the direction of the voice.

The speaking voice suddenly became more loud:

"Is she looking at us?" "It's strange, she can see..." "Yeah, she's flying! Can't she fly out of the maze?" "Don't worry, there is a powerful barrier at the top of the maze..." "Hehe, She is the angry girl of Dawn City..."

Audrey touched the top.

A black light flashed at the top of the seemingly empty maze, and Audrey in mid-air was suddenly slammed to the ground.The owl court suddenly laughed, and there were some disdainful words:

"It turned out to be from Liming City." "A lowly city with no history and no foundation..." "A mad girl...a little girl who doesn't understand anything, how pitiful..." "Just let her die in the maze too. "

In the end, this voice received countless approvals. Immediately, there were whispers: "Let her die here." "Remember to take pictures..." "It's a pity I don't know her name..." "Her body is eligible to be a maze Souvenirs?"

"You are the so-called dark secret of Gotham City?" Audrey stood up again, her toes floating slightly off the ground.

She still stared unblinking into the darkness above the maze.Then, everyone in the Court of Owls heard her whispering to herself, as if it was whispered in their ears: "Then I really have to get involved... I will replace Batman and tear you to pieces." part."

Her figure suddenly twisted into a cloud of blurred wind and disappeared in place.

The noisy voices of the snickering members of the owl court suddenly stopped for a moment, and they looked at each other with some anxiety.

"There's nothing to worry about, it's just a little super power." One of them suddenly said, "Compared with the mighty power of the blackest Dormammu, what is this?"

They tacitly suppressed the uneasiness and laughed again. Immediately, the air in the seats was filled with joy.
