[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun

Pat Lawrence is in jail.

Three weeks earlier, a series of articles written by Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent had caused an uproar in Delaware, where the Met is located, and neighboring New Jersey.Countless media, large and small, reprinted this article that recorded and accused the numerous crimes committed by LX Labs over the years in plain words. For a while, conspiracy theories were rampant among the people.Clark Kent's article is considered to have the power to impact the Pulitzer Prize, and the trial of the laboratory-related personnel headed by Pat Lawrence reached a summary judgment at a very fast speed, which is even more so. Added heavyweight corroboration.

"So, you really don't plan to stay?"

The reporter favored by the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Mr. Clark Kent, was sitting in the living room of Audrey's house, holding a teacup and looking at her eagerly.

Audrey is chopping fruit.Fresh apples look round and cute, and the fruit knife she holds in her hand is also gleaming, but the apple pieces cut out by her hands look horrible, with different sizes and crooked.Audrey quietly stuffed the ugly-cut apple into her mouth, and mumbled, "I have to go back to work, Mr. Reporter. I heard you're going to win another Pulitzer Prize?"

Hearing that the voice was wrong, Clark raised his head, just in time to see Audrey secretly stuffing an apple into her mouth.He put down the teacup dumbfounded, rolled up his sleeves and walked into the open kitchen, washed his hands: "Let me do it, your wrist hasn't fully recovered yet."

Audrey handed him the knife graciously, and leaned against the cabinet next to him.Clark looked down and cut the apple, whispering, "Pulitzer-winning news is always about wars, political scandals, and complicated social issues. I wish I never won a Pulitzer—let that news never Never happened."

Audrey looked at him sideways, heard the words and picked up a piece of apple she had cut and stuffed it into Clark's mouth: "But your reports can always help those in need, which is amazing."

Clark was taken aback by her action, and subconsciously chewed.Audrey laughed: "It's delicious, isn't it? Thank you."

Clark swallowed the apple and smiled, looking a lot more relaxed: "Thank me for what? Give you these apples or write that report?"

He lowered his head and cut off the remaining half of an apple. He smiled and said, "My mother is very good at making apple pie. If you come to my farm next time, I must invite you to try it."

"Thank you for always being with me during this time." Audrey replied with a smile, staring at him unblinkingly, "I will. I have not canceled the lease of this apartment. If I am free, I will definitely I will often come to Metropolis to look for you."

Clark didn't meet her eyes, but his ears turned slightly red.He put the sliced ​​apples in the fruit bowl, and the pleasing neat small pieces formed a sharp contrast with the unknown shapes piled up next to them.Clark calmly picked up the plate and walked towards the living room, then turned around and said, "That would be great."

He sat on the sofa and said curiously: "Are you going back to work? I thought you would want to change your environment after this accident."

Audrey sat down next to him, unceremoniously picked up a piece of Clark's cut apple, and couldn't help laughing: "It was just an accident, in fact, my work has nothing to do with chasing lightning. Well, we usually observe The gas movement in the atmosphere, and some research on atmospheric physics. If I want to say, I deal more with radar, analyzers and computers.”

Clark couldn't help but sighed when he heard the words: "It sounds very hard. I still think you don't look like the stereotyped engineer at all... I mean, you look too cheerful."

Audrey raised her eyebrows. She swallowed the apple and waved the fork slightly: "Clouds, lightning, fluid mechanics, wonderful physics! Maybe I have to wear a pair of glasses, wear a plaid shirt, and type on the computer every day. Knocking fits your stereotype... oh my god I'm sorry Clarke, I'm not being sarcastic."

She laughed and fell on Clark's shoulder. Clark, who was wearing glasses and a plaid shirt and was typing on the computer every day, pushed her head helplessly, complaining, "I usually wear a suit to work."

Audrey laughed for a while.Clark pushed his glasses, and couldn't help laughing himself.When Audrey finally calmed down, she rubbed her eyes and said, "You're so cute, Clark! I haven't left Metropolis yet, and I'm already missing you."

"Audrey, please don't say such misleading things suddenly..." Clark covered his face with one hand, and his rapidly reddening skin could be seen between his fingers. "I'm really a little shy now."

Audrey has no guilt about this. She straightened her back on the sofa and said frankly: "Please don't get me wrong, I'm not joking. When I can't see you, I think I will definitely start to miss you Your kindness and integrity, and the joy you have brought me."

She pulled Clark's hand away and stared into his blue eyes through the thick glasses: "I will always miss you, Clark."

Never before has Clark Kent felt such an urge to smash through the roof and flee while pretending to be a normal person.Rao, the Kryptonian said silently in his heart, has she always communicated with people like this?

But in the end, Clark just resisted the idea of ​​looking away and stammered, "Me too, Audrey."

----

On the first night back at the Dawn City apartment, Audrey woke up from a dream.

She dreamed of Batman.When the gunpowder smoke cleared in the dream, the black figure fell on the battlefield, covered in blood, and handed a piece of letter paper to Flash with difficulty.He seemed to have said something, but the black and white silent picture could not allow Audrey to see everything clearly.What did he say?What did that letter say?

The Flash ran, the universe became brighter and more chaotic, the endless starry sky first expanded, then suddenly contracted, and then she woke up.

Audrey pushed open the window, and the warm night wind of Dawn City brushed her cheeks.

In fact, she knew Batman for a short time, only a few days.She didn't know his past, nor did she know what kind of past and experiences the person under that mask had.But it was the silent person who taught her what justice, persistence and love are.

Their first encounter was not very pleasant.Audrey and Carl were reading as usual in the red sun room that seemed to remain unchanged all year round; then, three figures rushed in violently, and one of them, half-human, half-mechanical, raised its arms, The sound wave broke through the glass suddenly, almost hurting Karl.Audrey covered Carl's ears in time and pulled the air away from their ears, and when she put her hands down, only a few arguments were heard in her recovered hearing:

"Is this the strongest superhuman you're talking about on Earth? A skinny young man and a frail little girl?" The man wearing a bat mask and wrapped in a black cloak pointed at another said the man in the red uniform.

"I'm pretty sure this is Superman, and I guarantee he'll be a good guy no matter where he grows up!" the man in the red uniform said quickly, "Although I don't know who this girl is...but trust me, we don't have time too much."

And the man whose body was half wrapped in the machine reached out to them: "We will rescue you. Will you help us?"

Audrey looked at them warily, but nodded anyway.She's been stuck in this lab for so long of her life that she has almost forgotten how to get along with ordinary humans, and these people don't look very ordinary-to be honest, it's a bit suspicious, especially The guy in black at the head.But she couldn't miss this chance to escape.

Karl took her hand, and they leaned on each other, and escaped behind the three.She could hear bits and pieces of conversation floating in the air:

"I don't think they've ever seen the light of day in their life."

"I think they look like they're even seeing other people for the first time!"

"Are you sure they'll help us?"

Audrey looked back at Carl, who was looking forward, his eyes gradually illuminated by some kind of divine light.They escaped from the deep and dark underground road and came to the ground outside the cave.The sun is rising over the sea.It was a miraculous scene, the golden light cut through the dark waves, and Audrey felt Karl's hand trembling in her palm.

"This is the sun, children." The black man turned his head and said flatly, "You will understand everything it represents in the future."

Carl wobbled off his feet and flew up.Audrey let out a low cry, took his hand and flew beside him.She guided his posture, showing a small smile, "You are flying..."

"They look like children who just got their toys," Batman commented. "I think you've really lost your mind, Flash."

Carl listened silently. Then, he and Audrey fell to the ground, and everyone heard him whisper: "Someone is chasing you..."

But there was no need for him to remind, the few laser beams from the cave had already explained this matter.Batman pulled out his gun, and Audrey heard him roar, "Then what are you waiting for, Superman?"

This was Batman's initial impression on Audrey.A rough, cold, suspicious man.She didn't know many humans, and she had never seen such intense and abundant emotions concentrated in one person.He looked like a burnt coal, no bright flame, only a gray exterior and aching heat.When they first met, Audrey was actually a little scared of this man.

They experienced too many things in the next few days.In between fighting, dodging, and lurking for breath, The Flash explained to her where Batman came from and their goals, and described to her a peaceful, wonderful world.They fought for it until it cost them their lives...

But what makes her sad is that the legend of the Dark Knight of Gotham still exists in this brand new universe after the restart-but his style seems to be milder, adhering to the principle of not killing.But the fact that Batman still existed was enough to make her sad.This is not a completely perfect world, the laboratory still exists, Gotham is still a city of crime, and Audrey wants to make everything better.Lawrence was indeed in prison, but did it really end like this?

Audrey bent down and opened the drawer of the bedside table, took out a crushed black jar from inside, and touched the bat pattern on its surface.

The author has something to say:

My friend gave some pertinent opinions to this article, and I was stuck...I have to think about how to write later (tears

Audrey didn't know that Bruce = Batman, so it was natural to be beaten (.
