Audrey didn't know where she was.

She seemed to be floating in a long corridor with only layers of heavy lead doors along the way.Confused, she stepped forward and tried to push the door, but her hand went right through it.

She walked through the door, lowered her head to confirm her body - she did have a body, yes.But like a phantom, she can pass through these closed doors unhindered.

Audrey didn't know how many doors she went through until finally, she stopped.She saw a small room with countless red sun lamps and monitoring equipment installed on the walls. The person sitting in the center of the room had a figure that made her feel familiar.

"Clark?" Audrey said, moving closer.

The man raised his head, and the exposed face made her feel familiar and strange.The luster of ancient ivory appeared in his blue eyes, and his eyebrows could no longer show a stretched posture. The most obvious thing was his temples, where there were already dots of white hair, and the lovely little curly hair on his forehead disappeared. .

"Audrey." This Clark showed a gentle and tired smile, "You are here again."

He stretched out his hand naturally, grabbed Audrey, and then held her in his arms skillfully, placing his chin on top of her head.

"Again?" Audrey found herself suddenly able to touch the real thing again. The warmth of Clark's embrace made her feel familiar, but her ears were still a little red. "Where is this?"

"This is the first time you've asked me this question." Clark whispered, and he chuckled slightly. "You're getting real. As you can see, this is a prison."

"...Is it specially used to detain you?" Subconsciously ignoring the part of Clark's words that she couldn't understand, Audrey moved and said anxiously, "Why?"

"Because I made a mistake, Audrey." Clark said, "The world shouldn't be in my... our hands. It took me many years to understand this mistake, but it was too late."

He sighed softly: "How long will you stay this time?"

A great sadness spread in Audrey's heart.She couldn't remember why she had come here, nor did she understand what had happened to Clark.Sadness fell silently like snowflakes and buried her in it.

"I don't know, Clark ... I don't remember," she said.

Clark lowered his head and gently kissed Audrey's lips.His appearance didn't change much, but at this moment, Audrey suddenly realized that there was a huge time and distance between them.

Audrey heard Clark say softly, "Then, goodbye, Audrey."

……

Audrey opened her eyes.

She is floating in a sheet of blue water.The fluid around her body wrapped her body, making her feel warm and comfortable.A residual sense of sadness still made her chest feel a little sore, Audrey blinked, feeling a few tears floating away and merging into the water.

She raised her hand to touch her chest.The skin there is clean and smooth, and the penetrating wounds that once pierced the alveoli and chest cavity are gone.She remembered the last embrace she fell into before she lost consciousness, and a little bit of reassuring joy gradually grew, replacing the sadness brought about by her forgotten dream.

"Audrey! You're awake." A voice appeared above the head, and then there was the sound of something being opened.Clark's face suddenly appeared in her sight, and the little curly hair on his forehead trembled with the movement.He stretched out his hand and pulled Audrey to sit up.

Only then did Audrey realize that she was lying in a treatment cabin with sharp lines.The blue liquid disappeared quickly after she came into contact with the air, and after a few seconds, Audrey regained her dryness.She stepped out of the treatment cabin carefully, turned around and smiled at Clark: "Thank you, I'm fine...how long have you been here?"

The Superman in front of him is still wearing the uniform from the technology exhibition, and there are even some unwiped blood stains on the "S" logo on his chest, which was stained when he hugged Audrey.Audrey reached out to try to wipe them off, but Clark caught the hand.

"Not very long, about 48 hours?" Clark wiped his uniform hastily, showing a shallow smile, "Krypton's treatment cabin can't be opened from the inside...B said that because you have been affected by fear gas, the time to wake up will It can be anywhere from hours to days. I worry that when you wake up there is no one in the Batcave, and you're going to be scared in the treatment pod."

Two faint blushes appeared on Audrey's pale cheeks, she pursed her lips, and still smiled: "Thank you...but I won't be afraid of this."

"Yes, you are the bravest Audrey." Clark said with a smile, he led Audrey out of the Batcave, "I was worried about you. How do you feel?"

"The wounds are all healed. Kryptonian technology is really amazing..." Audrey said, "So, how did things work out after that?"

"Well, this time may be just in time for Alfred's lunch." Superman winked at Audrey and said, "I think we should go take a shower, change our clothes, and fill our stomachs first. What do you think Woolen cloth?"

Audrey nodded kindly.Alfred led Audrey upstairs, and the guest room arranged for her was still the one she stayed in last time.The suit of clothes that Audrey threw away in the Metropolitan Science and Technology Park was washed and ironed, and neatly stacked on the bed.

After changing out of the tattered uniform—there was a horrible hole in her chest, no wonder Clark’s eyes were wandering over her head just now——Audrey had a sense of certainty that "the matter is over".She changed her clothes and pushed open the door, just in time to see Clark dressed as a little reporter stepping out from the next room.

They smiled at each other and went downstairs side by side.The ones sitting together were no longer Superman and Audrey, but Clark and Audrey, whose date was interrupted by an accident. This recognition made Audrey smile at the dinner plate.Although Clark didn't know what she was laughing at, he also laughed, showing his white teeth.

"Wow. Are you going to finish your unfinished date at Wayne Manor?" Dick whistled softly after walking into the restaurant, "I bet Bruce won't be too happy. Hello, Clark, and Audrey , I hope your injury is alright."

"Thank you, Dick." Audrey said with a smile, "What you said is a good idea, but I don't want to upset Bruce."

"I think Master Dick is joking with you, Miss Audrey." Alfred said while placing the knife and fork, "I think Master Bruce will definitely approve of your date at the manor."

"We won't be dating at Wayne Manor, Dick!" Clark looked as if he was going to bury his face in the plate, and the tips of his ears were already glowing red, "And Ah Fu, thank you for your tolerance, but in Wayne Manor dating is too weird."

"Why?" Audrey said with a smile, "This is a beautiful and interesting building, isn't it?"

"Audrey!" Clark looked up at her pitifully and in disbelief, "Are you serious? If you want to, then...then I'll go and talk to B."

Audrey covered her chest with a smile.

"That's great." Dick said dryly, poking at the vegetable salad on the plate. He turned his head to look at Damian who appeared silently like a ghost, "How about I invite Xiaoba on a date at Wayne Manor?"

"Gordon will slap you against the wall," Damian replied nonchalantly, "Can't you think of something useful?"

"..." Dick was stunned, patted Damian's shoulder helplessly ("Little D, you must not have any girls in the future"), and said, "Where's Tim?"

"Master Tim stayed up until early in the morning, and just fell asleep." Alfred said disapprovingly, "I hope Master Bruce can pay attention to his physical condition."

"It won't happen next time." Bruce came down the stairs hoarsely with his nightgown strapped on, and it seemed he hadn't slept all night. "Hi, Clark, Audrey. Are you feeling better?"

"Father, what exactly is Red Hood trying to do?" Damian cut open a cherry tomato precisely, and frowned at the red fruit, "You've been chasing him for so many days."

"Don't talk about it at the dinner table, Damian." Bruce said, sitting down, picking up his glass and downing it in one gulp, "—uh. It's milk."

"Yes, sir. I confiscated all your Earl Gray tea before returning to normal work and rest." Alfred said ruthlessly, and then he asked Audrey kindly, "Do you need to take some Earl Gray tea away, Miss Audrey? This is the master's favorite kind of black tea, I think it might also suit your taste?"

"Oh, thank you Fu, I'm very happy." Audrey held back a smile and said, she leaned into Clark's ear and asked, "Why didn't Ah Fu tell you to take some away?"

"Because Alfred will send Earl Gray tea to all the friends Bruce may visit." Clark also answered in Audrey's ear in a breathy voice, and the air blowing made her chuckle, "So there are only This kind of tea."

"Wow, the little prince of the Wayne family." Audrey said, "Ah Fu is so kind. Do you think this will be the only one in my family in the future?"

Bruce cleared his throat. "You two, I can hear you." He calmly picked up a piece of chicken and said, "I thought you guys should be hungry long after you haven't eaten for so long."

"Thanks, Father," Damian said, "I've never looked forward to eating before."

……

"I think there's going to be a meeting of the Justice League sometime soon and we can introduce you to the other members," Clark said.

They walked along the lake in Wayne Manor, and the sun shone warmly on the sparkling lake, giving the flowing ripples a golden light.Audrey tilted her head and listened to his words, and said with a smile, "I thought Bruce—er, Batman—would suggest observing me for a while longer?"

"You have made an undeniable contribution to solving this incident, Audrey." Clark said softly, "B said he admitted that you have all the qualities required by a member of the Zhenglian. No one will dispute this. "

He stopped, turned to face Audrey, and said hesitantly: "Well, what I want to say is, since this date has been interrupted... would you like to go on a date with me again, Audrey?"

Clark's curly hair fluttered slightly in the wind, and his bright eyes looked at her with twinkling eyes.Audrey pursed her lips and laughed, and nodded.
