"Audrey?" Clark whispered, "Are you all right?"

Audrey gently closed the phone in her palm.She lowered her eyes and whispered, "I just... I think I can do more."

"When you have extraordinary abilities, everyone will think so." Clark stroked Audrey's hair reassuringly, "But promise me, will you take your time?"

They sat under an orange tree, and Audrey could smell the peculiar smell of orange leaves.She took a deep breath, nodded, and smiled at Clark.

"You're so kind, Clark." Audrey said wistfully, "I think you must have had similar confusion when you first became Superman."

"I almost grew up with confusion, Audrey." Clark smiled. "Later I found out that you just need to face it and find the answer. It's actually not that difficult."

Audrey said thoughtfully, "Are all problems like this?"

"Yeah," Clark said, "I noticed you got a little down after you got a text. Would you like to talk to me?"

A pine cone rolled to Audrey's feet.Audrey and Clark looked up in the direction it came from, and saw a frightened squirrel standing blankly on the opposite lawn, turning around and trying to escape.

"Oh, it's you." Audrey laughed and didn't move, but a breeze pushed the pine cone gently to the squirrel's feet.Immediately it picked up the pinecone in its tiny paws, and disappeared in a flash of its tail among the bushes.

Audrey seemed to be in a better mood. She shook her calf and said: "I met some children from the downtown area in Dawn City late last year. One of them was from Gotham. They told me about a hallucinogenic Drugs are rife in the underground, which is why I started sifting through Lawrence's legacy lab with Batman..."

Clark listened gravely and nodded. "What I know about it," he said, "has anything to do with its outcome?"

"Yes, Clark." Audrey said, "It turns out that Lawrence's residual forces did develop this drug, and they just adjusted and changed them in order to grab a lot of money in a short period of time. Send me a text message It was the kid from Gotham, and although it was just to express my gratitude, I suddenly remembered... There are still many things that I can't pay attention to in time."

Clark said softly, "You've done a good job, Audrey."

"You're right, Clark." Audrey stood up and smiled back at Clark. "I'm going to face it. Now—let's walk around again."

Clark followed her footsteps and said with a smile, "I thought those scientists were in charge of leading me to visit Caltech today?"

"Believe me, Dr. Cooper will only take you to the office of the physics department, and then to the staff cafeteria." Audrey said, "I believe they will not think that the jacarandas, wisterias, water lilies and Marigolds are probably more beautiful to Superman than UFT...although none of them are blooming this season lol."

Seeing Clark's eyebrows raised and lowered, Audrey smiled so much that her glasses slid from the bridge of her nose to the tip of her nose.Clark gestured to tap her nose, gently pushing the glasses back on the bridge of her nose with his index finger.

"I like these glasses, Clark." Audrey winked at Clark from behind the black frame, "although they are a bit too big."

"It doesn't suit you, Audrey." Clark withdrew his hand and said to the point, but somehow the tips of his ears turned red suspiciously, "I just wanted to look a little different from myself—well, if you like to hide in The feeling in the crowd, I can use Kryptonian technology to make another one for you.”

"Thank you, Clark." Audrey said happily, "How should I repay you?"

"You don't need to repay me, Audrey." Clark said softly, "As long as you like... huh?"

Audrey suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin lightly.Then, like a gust of wind, she backed away, smiling and saying, "I love it!"

Clark stood motionless, letting the little curly hair shake wildly in the wind.The little reporter with poor emotional experience felt a tingling feeling crawling in his heart, itching his ears red.Then he laughed and strode forward, determined to make things clear to her today—

"Hey, Superman?" came several voices behind him. "We're looking for you. You're so early!"

Without glasses, Superman Clark, who was pretending to be an ordinary person, turned around and saw several scientists waving at him enthusiastically.Audrey appeared beside him silently, pushed his glasses at him, and showed a smirk.

Rao.Clark sighed in his heart, he must find a place where no one is on the next date.

Sheldon, who successfully recognized Superman, looked forward to seeing him, until Howard greeted him first: "Bonaprès-midi (good afternoon), both of you. Is this beautiful lady here with you, Superman?"

"Bonjour," said Audrey, pulling down her glasses, briefly revealing her bright red eyes, and then pushing them back. "I'm a bonjour. Are you French, sir?"

"Uh. Hello, Madame." Howard rocked back and forth awkwardly. "I'm Jewish. Actually, I speak six languages."

"Really? You're really amazing." Audrey said kindly, "You don't have to worry about me, I just came to see Superman out of curiosity."

Clark gave her a resigned look and smiled in agreement.Howard is immersed in the embarrassment that superheroes are language geniuses and can't extricate themselves, and Raj, who can't speak because of the sudden appearance of a woman, can only stare at Superman with wet eyes.

Leonard cleared his throat and smoothed things over: "Actually, what we want to invite you to visit is a system that we jointly developed, and we believe that maybe it can help superheroes help people better... we'll talk as we go . Sheldon?"

Sheldon stared straight at Audrey, and didn't come back to his senses until he was elbowed by Leonard.Along the way, Sheldon looked back at her frequently, so obvious that even Raj began to whisper in Howard's ear.

The whispering sound reached Superman's ear, who was already trying to pretend to block Audrey unintentionally. After all, for super hearing, this distance is no different from whispering in his ear——

"What's Sheldon doing? He's been peeking at Puppy!" Raj said.

"Do you think I can understand the brain circuits of aliens?" Howard said through his teeth. "My God. How can I stop him from doing this?"

"What do you think is the probability that Sheldon will fall in love with a girl at first sight?" Raj, full of emotional cells, whispered.

"We all know it's 0%!" Howard said. "Is Sheldon human? I guess it might be that Qi girl made some bug in his algorithm and he's trying to fix it."

"Howard, you'll let Superman hear that. What if he really thinks Sheldon isn't human?" Raj said.

Howard and Raj looked back awkwardly, meeting Superman's eyes.Leonard, who was unaware, was still introducing the system they developed: "...so it contains a kind of excitation circuit that can help superheroes monitor the safety of the entire city. We wanted to provide it to the Avengers, At that time, its prototype was still a super-computing AI, but after we contacted Tony Stark, he said that he absolutely could not bear the appearance of another illegal artificial intelligence that might be used to destroy the world, and even asked us to change the central design idea—”

"So it has become a passively triggered city security system." Among the people present, perhaps only Audrey listened most seriously, completely ignoring the eyebrows and eye lawsuits of the other people, "In this way, there will be no public concerns. Security is handed over to the computer, because its end-path distribution is decentralized, and it is processed by a dedicated person—I guess the government should also reject your system?"

"Yes." Leonard said, "Because it can't cater to the organizational structure of complex administrative agencies, the debugging process will bring huge administrative expenses. And if the government comes forward, it will cause people's mistrust. The specific reasons I don't know either, at least that's what the guy who contacted us said at the time."

"So you thought of the Justice League again." Qi Nu said, "After all, the Justice League is not regulated by any political system, and the cost is rarely considered. —I think you have already done a risk assessment and preliminary modeling?"

"You completely understand what I mean, I want to ask you if you have read a PhD, mad girl." Leonard's voice was fluttering with excitement, he laughed twice for his own humor, and then said, "Actually, we are the most I started to contact the Wayne Group that invested in you, but their CEO insisted that the Wayne Group has nothing to do with the Justice League, and even if there is, they don’t need anything provided by a third party, and then hung up the phone politely. Then we I met Superman. I thought, maybe we can try..." His voice gradually dropped, "But we definitely didn't think so much when we helped him!" He emphasized.

Superman finally interjected after listening to two things at once: "I know, Leonard. What are you going to show me now?"

"It's a system model we made based on Gotham," Leonard said, pushing open the door of the laboratory. "It can demonstrate the specific operation of this surveillance system we named 'White Tower'. Shell Don, go and turn the controls on - Sheldon??"

Sheldon raised his head as if waking up from a dream, turned his eyes away from Audrey, and hurried to operate the computer.The city model on the table slowly came to life, the traffic began to move, and the lights came on one after another. In the center of Gotham's row upon row of Gothic buildings, stood a pure white tower.Indicator lights of different colors are flashing regularly next to the city model. Under the control of the program, this mini Gotham seems to be breathing.

Audrey and Clark looked at it side by side. Audrey stared at the out-of-fit tower and said with a chuckle, "It's really not suitable for Gotham."

"...That's it. When there is a crime, we judge the intensity level of the incident through sound recognition, chemical monitoring and image recognition, and the terminal processes it and sends it to the White Tower. At the same time, the alarm near the incident occurred Keep sounding the alarm until the crime ends." Howard, who was in charge of the assembly, explained, "But this system requires a huge number of sensors and processors, and depending on the actual situation, it may also need a satellite—"

"I will propose Zhenglian to invest, and if it is not approved, I will prepare the funds myself." Audrey concluded without any explanation, "Please give me a copy of the complete proposal, and I will bring another city someday model here."

"Okay, okay." With joy, Leonard stammered, "Superman? Do you have any comments?"

"I'll always respect her," Superman said with a smile, "and it sure seems like a good idea."

The four people pushed each other and rushed out to get the text of the proposal.Audrey and Clark stood beside the miniature Gotham, and Audrey's lens reflected the brilliant lights of Gotham.

"Face the problem and find the answer, don't you?" Clark said with a smile.

Audrey raised her eyes to look at him, and raised the corners of her mouth.
