[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun

Clark opened the door, and Audrey was standing outside the door looking at him with a smile on his face.Her face was wrapped in a furry scarf, revealing a pair of ruby ​​eyes.

The heavy snow in the small town of Kansas has not stopped, and the fine pieces of goose feathers are floating between the pure white sky and the ground.The wheat field was covered with snow, and on the path leading to the farm, Clark could see a curved shallow footprint intermittently extending from a distance, and quickly disappeared in the snow.

"Audrey! Why did you come here? No, you, how did you come here?" Clark, who had always been straightforward, stumbled and stumbled when speaking. He subconsciously reached out and brushed off the falling snow from Audrey's shoulder.

"I found that I forgot to send your Christmas present, so I brought it here for you." Audrey said with a smile, stretched out the hand behind her back, and handed a bag to Clark, " As for how I got here—”

Her feet lifted slightly from the ground, and she circled softly in the air.Her long blond hair was blown away in the wind, like a bird spreading its wings: "I flew here!"

Clark stared at her blankly, and reached out to take the gift bag.He seemed a little unresponsive, and murmured and repeated: "...flying over."

Audrey nodded with sparkling eyes.She flew closer, looked down at Clark, smiled and said, "The snow is falling intermittently in New Jersey, and I wanted to see what you said was snow in Kansas. So here I am."

"You can fly." Clark raised his head, pretending to be serious.But his crooked eyes gave him away.

Audrey gave a soft "ah" and fell back to the ground.She made the two-finger salute to Clark that she once did in front of Superman, and her tone was brisk: "Yes, of course I can fly, Carl—Audrey, a reserve member of the Zhenglian, sent her to the chairman of the alliance." Christmas wishes."

Clark didn't know what expression he showed at this moment, but when he came to his senses, he and Audrey had already exchanged a hug in the snow.Their laughter intertwined softly, and pure joy permeated this small eaves.

"You really surprised me, Audrey." He let go of Audrey and said with a smile, "I don't know how to react."

"I thought you would try to deny it, Clark." Audrey chuckled, "Maybe I can ask for another hug?"

She held out her arms to Clark, and Clark hugged her again without hesitation.This time the hug lasted longer, and Clark could hear Audrey's heartbeat speeding up slowly at first and then returning to a gentle steady state. Their heartbeats were stuck together, pulsating warmly and steadily.The gentle wind blew away the falling snowflakes, and a thought suddenly emerged clearly in Clark's mind.He raised his head slightly to stare into the endless distance, then lowered his head, and the voice fell into Audrey's ear from the top of her head.

"Audrey," he said, "do you want to go see the Northern Lights with me?"

"Couldn't be happier," said Audrey.

With this sentence, Clark was blown into the house like a whirlwind.Almost in the next second, he was fully dressed, holding a thick blanket in his hand.

"May I?" Clark, who no longer bothered to conceal his identity, looked a little excited and cunning like a child, he held up the blanket and said to Audrey.Audrey nodded kindly, so Clark smiled and put the blanket on her. The next second, Audrey found herself in his arms and flew up to the sky above the clouds.

"Sorry Audrey, let me fly with you—you will be exhausted by flying to the North Pole!" Superman's voice resounded happily in the night sky, and Audrey smiled and sighed, leaning her head gently On Clark's warm and generous chest.

"I thought you would have a lot of questions to ask me," Audrey said.

"I do have tons of questions I want to ask you, Audrey," Clark said, "but right now I just... I just feel happy."

They passed through the thick clouds, and the rivers and mountains rushed back to the land below, looking like a wonderful painting composed of blurred color blocks.The Kryptonian's biological force field turned the high-altitude wind and air current into a warm wind, carrying water vapor through Audrey's fingertips.Audrey stared at Clark's sharp jaw, and lightly pressed her chest.Joy slowly inflated like a balloon and filled her chest, making her feel a kind of happiness like soaking in warm water.

"I'm happy too, Clark," Audrey said.

Suddenly Clark put a hand over her eyes and they passed through the clouds.Audrey blinked in his palm, and Clark couldn't help laughing at the warm air she exhaled and the touch of her eyelashes brushing against her palm.They descended slowly.

"We're here." He whispered, leading Audrey a few steps.Then, he removed his hand covering Audrey's eyes.

Audrey held her breath.The shock of this moment is hard to describe in words. In fact, when she saw the dazzling curtain hanging down from the sky, she even briefly lost her ability to think.The air of the ice field washed around Audrey's body. She clutched the blanket on her body, staring at the changes of the aurora with slightly wide eyes.At this moment, language loses its due role, but the shocking feeling of human beings in front of beauty is common.

The light that divided the sky floated in the sky like a veil of mist, like a flame, and like flowing water.Unlike the bright green taken by electronic equipment, the color of the aurora changes almost every moment when viewed with the naked eye, forming various fascinating and beautiful combinations.It wasn't until Audrey felt that what she was holding in her hand became a little hot, that she came back to herself as if waking up from a dream, and found that she had been holding Clark's hand from the very beginning.

Clark stared at her with a hint of a smile: "It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yes..." Audrey murmured, subconsciously letting go of him.But in the next second, Clark held her hand in his palm, leading her forward.Audrey recalled that she once had a colleague who worked at the Abisko Aurora Station for three weeks after applying for the experimental project.When he returned to the United States, because he could no longer forget the magical pulse of the aurora in the sky, he finally signed an immigration application and settled on the snowfields of Sweden.Audrey suddenly understood his choice at this moment.

There is no snow in the North Pole, and in the clear night sky, only the moon and the aurora are accompanied.Beneath the light of the hanging curtain were two figures walking side by side.The harsh environment does not pose a threat to the two superhumans, for them, here is just a piece of silent land.

"Do you know how the aurora is formed?" Clark said with a smile.In the distance, a huge crystal-clear building appeared on the ground of the snowfield, which seemed to be integrated with the arctic environment, with a solemn and primitive beauty.

"It's the ionization reaction between the charged particles of the sun and the molecules in the atmosphere after being captured by the magnetic field." Audrey fluently read out the textbook-style standard answer, and then laughed. "Ah, I love it."

"Yes, the reaction of the sun and the atmosphere. They produced such beautiful results..." Clark said seriously, turning his face sideways to stare at Audrey, and also smiled.He whispered, "I love it too."

Audrey smiled and winked at him.

"Is this your secret base, Mr. Superman?" she said.They floated in the air, gazing at a building that seemed to glow even at night.

"I call it the Fortress of Solitude," Clark said.They didn't get into it, they fell on top of it.Here, the aurora seems to be within reach, twinkling and floating in the sky.They sit side by side.

On the loneliest ice field on Earth, a human and a Kryptonian sit leaning on each other in the cold wind and look up at the night sky.They have different heartbeats, but the same light reflects in their eyes.

The clown opened his eyes.Mentally ill criminals certainly don't deserve Christmas. The jailer dozed off at the end of the corridor, and the Christmas carols played out of nowhere drifted intermittently into the single cell of Arkham Asylum, playing the same sad song monotonously and repeatedly. Boring melody.

He stood up, walked a few steps in the cell, and finally succeeded in being transferred to the cell diagonally opposite the clown. Harley Quinn, the clown, saw him open his eyes and started immediately. A new round of prayers for the sky.

"Take me with you, Mr. J," she said pitifully. "I'll be useful!"

The clown ignored her, nervously circling in circles, muttering to himself, "Will you catch me this time? Bat?"

Harry cried: "You can't leave me alone, Pudding! I'm going to die without seeing you."

"Then you will die!" The clown said impatiently, "You are useless."

Halle cried even more pitifully, and she even patted the glass: "No! I promise I will be obedient and useful, please, Mr. J!"

"Shut up!" the clown snapped, turning to face the wall.

Hearing the movement, the guard on duty yelled and got up and walked over. At this moment, the lights in the corridor turned black without warning.The emergency lighting system was activated, but soon, the fluorescent light flickered a few times before powerlessly disappearing.

"What's going on?" The jailer's voice sounded a little panicked, and his footsteps immediately turned back, trying to pull down the alarm.But after a soft sound, there was a plop sound of a body falling to the ground in the darkness.

The clown who was facing the wall gave a big smile.In the darkness, the dark red light eroded by something on the wall is so conspicuous.With a loud noise, the specially reinforced wall crashed to the ground, revealing a big hole.The night wind mixed with fine snow swept into the cell, and the clown was already laughing excitedly.

"Welcome, my old friend Luther!" The clown put his hand on his chest and made an exaggerated gesture of greeting, "Look, you brought me a new friend!"

Luther stood expressionlessly in the air wearing his battle armor, holding a strange barrel-shaped weapon in his hand.Behind him, a red-haired woman in a tight uniform, several floating 'cannons flashing ominously, guarded around her.

"Let's go." Luthor ignored the clown's dramatic salute, and said annoyedly, "I will never allow you to leave this time. If you are caught again, you will be locked up underground or something more troublesome. room, I swear I will never come here a third time!"

"Come on, Luther," the red-haired woman said with a smile, "We need this Mr. Clown quite a lot."

Her blue eyes seemed to shimmer eerily behind the lenses of her glasses.

The author has something to say:

For emotional dramas, I really like the kind of ambiguous atmosphere (...) but I really don't know how to write!

I've always wanted Clark and Audrey to see the aurora together, and it finally came true in this chapter!The reaction of the sun and the atmosphere or something, hehe...

It’s so sad to not have a manuscript saved (muttering
