[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun

For Clark, there really shouldn't be so many spoils in the Hall of Justice.

Especially when there is an underage kid named Shazam in the league.

On this day, Shazam confiscated a group of black magic groups, so it was logical to confiscate all kinds of magic props.He enthusiastically shook those strange-shaped things in the Hall of Justice and said: "Actually, they are all bluffing things, and there is no magic fluctuation at all..."

Audrey, who was standing aside with a smile on her face looking at those strange props, took a step forward and said, "Wait, Shazam, that mirror..."

"What mirror?" Shazam said, "You mean this side?"

He lifted up the mirror brightly, and a stream of light shot out from the mirror, shining on Superman who happened to be passing by.

"..." Audrey looked at Shazam dumbfounded, and the latter looked at Superman dumbfounded, and put down the mirror.

Fortunately, after being checked by the only magic-side hero in the alliance (Audrey also invited Zatanna), this strange mirror did not cause any damage to Superman.But Shazam was educated by Batman and packed those magic props and threw them into the Rock of Eternity.

It was supposed to end here... as it should be.

But this night, Clark had a dream.

Like the nightmares he once had, he saw the destructive light of Krypton in his dreams, and amidst the cries and confusion, he was sent to a small spaceship and set off into a lonely drift with a puppy.

The small spacecraft sailed in the sea of ​​stars, heading towards the blue planet fifty light-years away.The white puppy is snuggling on the edge of his cradle, and the cold starlight is jumping outside the porthole.

Go to sleep, go to sleep, Karl.When you wake up, you will come to your new home.

But he was awakened by a violent shock.The puppy barked loudly towards the porthole, and the spaceship, wrapped in flames, passed through the atmosphere and fell towards a bustling city.

Those sounds are somewhat similar to when Krypton was destroyed.There were cries, cries for help, and the sound of buildings collapsing.He came to Earth with a great devastation that took thirty-seven thousand lives.

The general in charge of the laboratory often looked at him with some disgust and emphasized to him: You were born with original sin.

The puppy barked violently, but couldn't stop the people coming and going, bringing the spaceship and him into the laboratory.

He didn't quite understand where this was.There are people here who teach him to talk and dress him, but there are also people who make him ache and bleed.He struggled to breathe under the pressure of the cold, the flames, or the mountain, and let out screams that even he didn't understand the meaning of.

He didn't know what that empty, uncomfortable feeling inside of him was.He secretly named his puppy Xiao Krypton, and only when he hugged Xiao Krypton and stroked its white and warm fur would the hollowness in his chest heal a little.

Later he read from the book that this feeling is called "loneliness".

He suddenly discovered that day that his eyes could see through the walls of the room and see other places.He could see those humans in white walking around the base, holding computers and papers and recording various plants and animals, just like him.

He was happy because Krypton would be back with him soon and they could spend the rest of the day together.He can tell Xiao Krypton what he saw...Talk about the plants and animals that he has never seen before...

…He saw several people grab Little Krypton and inject some solution into its body.

No.

Little Krypton twitched, his eyes turned scarlet.It bared its sharp teeth, barked irrationally, and pounced on the human body in front of it.

Do not!

The stick fell upon it, studded with glistening stones.Xiao Krypton whimpered, fell to the ground and fell silent.

"No!" He slapped the wall in despair in that pure white room, and shouted at the blank wall, "Little Krypton!"

"Experiment No. [-] has awakened the ability to see through." He heard someone say, "We are going to transfer to NRC."

He didn't care what the NRC was or what they were going to do with him.He just stared straight at his friend with its soft fur and warm heartbeat, watching its life being taken away by the freezing temperature of the floor.

Maybe he really was born with original sin... The punishment is that he will be alone forever.

After a while, Carl was transferred to another experimental center.It was bigger and more empty here, with lead-filled walls and permanently red lights in the corners of the glass room that shut him in.

Just then, he saw a little girl.

She was wearing a baggy lab gown, covered in bandages, and blood oozing from underneath.The thin little girl with soft blond hair and big round red eyes walked past his observation room by a red-haired woman, staring at him intently.

There was no disgust, fever, or cold assessment in her eyes, but curiosity and friendliness.It was also the first time Karl saw such a human being, and he looked into those red eyes until she disappeared from his vision.

They meet again soon.

The little girl who was about his age smiled timidly at him: "What's your name? I'm Xiaoli."

That was the first time he spoke.He heard himself opening his mouth with difficulty, and said to her, "I am... Carl."

The little blond human girl smiled with her eyes bent, revealing two small dimples.She took a tentative step forward and whispered, "Can I talk to you, Karl? . . . Is that me?"

She tilted her head and looked curiously at the wall behind Carl.Carl felt his cheeks and ears heat up, and he silently blocked the notch on the wall behind him.

Heat vision etched into the metal walls a little girl with big round eyes and upturned blond hair, resembling an owl.

The red-haired doctor who was in charge of researching Xiaoli convinced the general who took over him that he was allowed to stay with Xiaoli all the time-provided that his performance was good enough.

In this base, the red-haired doctor is the leader, and her opinion plays a decisive role.When she looked at Xiao Li, there was a kind of indulgence and kindness from top to bottom... like looking at a favorite puppy.

Lily called her Pate, but everyone else called her Dr. Lawrence.Dr. Lawrence is no different from the apathetic researchers Carl has seen—she gives them the same ruthless instructions to "ensure their health and explore the limits of their abilities."

But the way she treats Xiaoli is full of contradictions.

She ruthlessly directed those robots to attack Xiaoli, put Xiaoli into a hydraulic tank that simulated a deep-sea environment, injected her and took a large amount of drugs, and even locked her in a gas chamber.But when Xiaoli ended the experiment in a daze and covered with scars, she would bandage her wounds in a soft voice and say some words of encouragement.

"Monsters are appearing everywhere in the world, Lily." Lawrence said softly, "We need your abilities. You have to be a hero...fight for us."

The way she stroked Lily's hair was like petting a puppy.Xiaoli just lowered her eyes, obediently listened to her words, and didn't make any answer.

Lily is not a puppy, Carl knows that very well.

Xiaoli has a soft voice and a warm heartbeat, and her presence once again prevented the hole in his heart from expanding.They cuddled up to each other like little animals keeping warm in the severe winter, chatting endlessly about their fantasies.

Little by little, the hole in his heart was filled by her.In this cold base, she is the only one of his kind.

She told him about the outside world that he had never seen before: the stars, the moon, and the sun in the sky, the feeling of rain falling on him, the chirping of birds, and the swaying of leaves in the wind.The wind has a voice, like nature talking in your ear.

That's beautiful.He was fascinated by this, and the tears couldn't stop flowing from his eyes.Xiaoli hugged him flusteredly and clumsily, carefully avoiding the needle holes in his arms, and stroking his back.

On the other hand, he rummaged and told Xiaoli about the Krypton data that the researchers allowed him to see.A crystal-like city, a god symbolizing the sun, and a language of 150 three syllables.Xiaoli held his hand and leaned against him, listening with the same longing.

"I really want to see that place." Lily said.

"Krypton is destroyed," he said, shaking his head.

Xiaoli then stroked his hair and said comfortingly: "The sun is still there, Karl. We will see the sun one day."

Lily is always right.

When he staggered out of the tunnel holding Xiao Li's hand and saw the sun rising from the sea level, he only felt that he had lost the ability to breathe.

The brilliance of the sun sprinkled on every creature without hesitation, he took a deep breath, and suddenly found himself flying lightly.

It was a bit of a reenactment of when he had learned clairvoyance, but Lily's hand was in his, and she looked glistening in the sun, smiling wide at him.

They are free.They can live in the sun forever.

However, Xiao Li, who dismissed Dr. Lawrence's words, told him at this time that she wanted to be a hero.

"Why?" he asked. "Who are you fighting for?"

"For myself, and for you, Carl." Xiaoli smiled and said, "I want to bring back the correct universe."

Carl looked her in the eye.Her eyes were full of hope, shining with fearless firmness and determination.Carl then smiled too... As long as they were together, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Later... Later...

Clark let out a sob and woke up from the dream.He subconsciously stretched out his hand to fish in the void, as if he wanted to catch someone who was gone with the wind.The loud noise of the explosion seemed to still be buzzing in his ears, setting off the soft breathing in the room so peacefully.

He hugged Audrey in his arms.

Audrey was wrapping her limbs around him like a koala, her cheeks flushed from sleep, she frowned at his sudden movement, and rubbed against his chest dissatisfiedly.

Clark glanced at the familiar furnishings in the room.A pot of cactus on the window sill, a baseball bitten by Krypton, Audrey’s half-read book, his half-knitted wool hidden in the deepest part of the closet...

These most ordinary things are quietly staying in place in the dark, reminding him of the ordinary and happy reality he lives in.

He couldn't help tightening his arms, and hugged Audrey deeper into his arms.

"Clark?" Audrey's voice was a little muffled, she straightened her body, and her satin-like hair brushed his arm, "Are you crying?"

"I didn't." Clark blinked and lowered his head to kiss her, "I just had a long dream."

"Is it a very bad dream?" Audrey wanted to laugh when he kissed his forehead, ears and neck, but still insisted on finishing the question.

Her fingers fell on his cheek, and warm tears seeped from her fingers and penetrated into the delicate lines of her skin.

Clark's kiss finally landed on her lips.His lips were pressed against hers, and the warm air was blowing over the lines on her lips, and the sentence he spoke was softer than a whisper: "It's very bad...but because you're here, it doesn't seem so bad."

"The reality must be better than the dream..." Audrey pressed the back of his head rebelliously, and vaguely escaped the words from between her lips and teeth, "Because I have always been here."
