[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun

Audrey drove the car off the highway and entered the metropolis.Unlike Gotham, which is across the sea but always seems to be covered with dark clouds, the tone of Metropolis is clear sunshine and white clouds.The journey was quite smooth. Seeing such a beautiful weather, Audrey's mood also improved.

She pulled over on the side of the road and decided to buy a cake from the bakery Clark had warmly recommended last time before looking for a house.She took out the car key and opened the door.

At this moment, a black car that was driving slowly in the lane next to it suddenly changed lanes against common sense and rushed towards Audrey who had just stood still and hadn't closed the door at extreme speed.Amidst the sudden exclamations and screams, Audrey rolled on the spot in embarrassment, avoiding the impact.The crazy car backed up slowly, revealing the deformed door of Audrey's car, and it clearly didn't intend to let her go, turning quickly again.

Audrey got up from the ground, looking around for places to hide.The black car obviously believed that she would not hide in the crowd to protect herself, and she really couldn't do such a thing, and she didn't want to expose her superpowers in public, which would cause more trouble. "My God..." she heard someone whisper, "This is murder!" "Who's going to stop it?" "Superman! You're needed here!"

Despite the overwhelming situation, Audrey still had the urge to laugh at those voices calling for Superman.She knew that Clark—Superman—was beloved in Metropolis, but it was true that she hadn't experienced this "call for Superman when you're in danger" situation firsthand.Could it be that he will really appear when he is called?Audrey kept backing away as she thought.The car really thought that she had nowhere to hide, and stepped on the accelerator again and rushed towards her.

Three, two, one.Audrey counted silently.

"boom!"

Audrey, who jumped onto the top of another parked vehicle, turned her head in shock.A figure in a blue uniform descended from the sky, met the speeding car without avoiding it, and stretched out his hand to hold it firmly.The huge kinetic energy collision set off a strong wind, blowing the dust on the ground.After the dust fell, people saw that the Man of Steel was standing on the spot unscathed, while the black car with a dented front had been completely damaged, leaving long marks on the ground.When Audrey turned her head, she saw his red cloak being lifted by the wind slowly falling down.

The crowd who had just fled in all directions belatedly shouted excitedly, "Superman!"Superman showed a usual smile to the crowd, reached out and pulled the driver out of the car like a carrot.

"I think you'd be happy to visit the police station." He said to the silent man in his hands, then turned and flew towards Audrey. "Are you all right, ma'am?" Superman asked, "If you don't mind, please allow me to see if you are hurt." Audrey still kept the posture of kneeling on the roof of the car, watching Looking at him, with slightly parted lips, she first shook her head and then nodded.

Superman turned on the clairvoyance and quickly scanned her whole body.There are no scars, and you can't see any difference from ordinary people.The doubts in Superman's mind didn't abate, but he had to go, and the crowd was already closing in on him.

"I'm going to take this person to the police station, if you want to..." Before he finished speaking, Audrey had already reached out and called a taxi: "I'll go there now!"

Superman showed a helpless smile, and quickly flew into the sky after saying "Be careful".Audrey got into a taxi and also left the scene.

It seems that I have to contact the traffic control department and the insurance company after that... Sitting in the back seat of the rental, Audrey thought.This accident was obviously premeditated against her. Who was it?Audrey went through the recent events one by one in her mind.

Her first thought was Pat Lawrence, but she immediately crossed her mind.Lawrence is a killer who does not allow failure, and her subordinates will never commit murder in such a blatant way—not to mention, no one knows her superpower better than her.Or, is this just a threat or a temptation?Or someone related to her?

Audrey was thinking until a cold gun barrel touched her forehead.The car stopped at some unknown moment, and Audrey could see the iconic badge on the police station building a few hundred meters away.The plain-looking taxi driver turned his head and muttered at her, "You can't always be so lucky, can you, chick?"

Audrey raised her eyebrows.She whispered: "I am now convinced that you are definitely not sent by Lawrence..."

She grabbed the barrel of the gun sharply, and that's when the driver fired.There was a muffled sound, and Audrey felt the barrel of the gun in her hand was slightly hot. The bullet grazed her cheek and shot through the glass of the rear seat, and the fragments flew.The driver cursed loudly and yanked the handle of the gun back while firing another shot, trying to get Audrey to let go.The shot hit the seat, and the leather seat suddenly burst into a hole the size of a bowl, and the stuffing squeezed out.

Audrey let go, and the driver threw himself backwards from the strain.She kicked on the front seat, a gust of wind blew the hole, and the driver was slammed into the steering wheel with a huge force, causing the car horn to blare several times.He felt dizzy and straightened up quickly, but it was too late: Audrey snatched the gun from him and hit him on the forehead with the butt of the gun.A bulge the size of an egg suddenly swelled there, and the driver passed out without saying a word.

Audrey sat back in the back seat, threw the gun aside, took a breath, and said with a low smile: "At present, I'm a fortune teller, right?"

This movement alarmed the police station not too far away, and Audrey saw a few police officers yelling something and ran out while touching their guns.Audrey immediately opened the car door, stumbled towards them, and shouted in panic, "The driver...the driver is going to kill me!"

Faster than them is Superman.In the blink of an eye, a figure in a red cloak appeared behind her, facing the taxi subconsciously, and made a gesture to protect her behind her back.After seeing the scene in the car, Superman raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Audrey: "It's been a rough morning, hasn't it?"

Audrey replied dryly: "Indeed."

Superman entered the police office for the second time today, still holding the suspect who was about to murder Audrey Lewis in his hand.Audrey walked behind him, pretending to answer the police officer's question weakly.

"Oh, no, I don't know who is trying to kill me... You know, the only person who can take revenge on me is Dr. Lawrence, but she's already in your custody." Superman heard her say, with some aftermath in her voice Trembling, "...I really don't know...Yeah, ma'am, luckily Goddess of Fortune favored me...No, I didn't learn boxing!...Yes, yes..."

He suppressed the smile on his lips.A tall man hurriedly pushed the door out of a reception room and looked at them in surprise.Then, he quickly turned his head away, trotted back to the meeting room, and closed the door.

Audrey's voice paused for a moment.Then, everyone, including Superman, Audrey and the three police officers, heard a woman's hoarse roar: "...What a donkey!...He's trying to kill himself!"

Superman glanced at Audrey calmly.The voice, he remembered, belonged to Pat Lawrence.The reception room fell silent, and his super hearing could only hear the breathing and heartbeat of the two humans inside.Apparently, knowing of his presence, they had begun to keep silent.

Audrey stopped.She blushed, twisted her fingers, and whispered to several police officers, "Sorry, everyone... I want to have a few words with Superman alone. Well, after all, he saved me twice..."

The police officers who are familiar with such things looked at each other and smiled knowingly.The female police officer patted Audrey on the shoulder and winked at her: "Of course, ma'am. As long as Superman himself agrees."

Superman then also stopped, smiled and said: "Of course, ma'am." He handed over the unconscious driver to the police officers, and after watching them leave whispering, he turned his head to look at Audrey , with a serious expression.

Audrey whispered, "I know their motive for murdering me—I know you've been in the lab. Someone's trying to murder the witness victim. Not Lawrence, but it must be someone related to her. Those survivors who were once experimental subjects are in danger!"

Superman immediately flew up.He looked at Audrey and said quickly, "I'll go and bring them here for a temporary settlement—tell me where they are now."

"As far as I know, the vast majority of people are receiving psychological counseling in the nursing homes in Dongcheng District." Audrey said, "There are also some victims with serious physical problems who are being treated in the central hospital. Don't look at me like that, Mr. Superman. I There was neither psychological problems nor physical harm, after all, I was brought to the laboratory for less than 72 hours."

"Well, time is running out." Superman flew out of the window. "We'll talk about the lab later—I think we'll meet again, Audrey."

"Goodbye, Superman." Audrey didn't seem surprised that he called her name.She watched the figure of Superman disappear into the sky, and looked back to see the female police officer walking towards her with a smile: "Are you done chatting? Now it's time to take a record with me, ma'am."

This uneventful morning ended in the recording room.Audrey walked out of the gate of the police station and rubbed the space between her brows.The unexpected events since her rebirth happened one after another in just a few days, which made her feel a little lingering exhaustion.The police station is half a city away from the nursing home, but it is very close to the central hospital. Audrey sighed and decided to walk there to check the situation.She took off the coat that was torn and dusty in the two accidents and threw it into the trash can, secretly hoping that when the insurance company arrived at the scene of the car accident, it would not be passive because of her absence.

----

Tim Drake's car pulls into the Metropolis.He looked at the monitor of the on-board computer, and said to the communicator: "The location shows that Audrey Lewis' car has been parked near a bakery for more than three hours...I think if she hadn't stayed here, It was just an accident.”

The voice on the earpiece said, "Go and have a look, Red Robin. Don't draw attention - anyone's."

Tim sighed and replied, "I know, B...you don't have to be so careful. I can't believe you're getting up in the morning for this!"

"Be cautious at all times."

"Actually, Batman hasn't slept since last night. Red Robin, I hope you can also pay attention to rest." Another voice cut in.

"Yes, yes, I know - going into town, I'll have to drive 'cautiously'. Thank you, Penny One, I'll take care of my rest if Batman doesn't wake me up early in the morning. Red Robin is temporarily offline."

He chuckled and pressed the communication button, turned the steering wheel to the right, and turned onto the auxiliary road.In his rearview mirror, over the metropolis' Dongcheng District nursing home, thick smoke that has not yet cleared is blowing in the wind.

A sudden update!

If there is no accident, the update is usually in the early morning, because I always code late at night...

Accidents and Superman, accidents come first! (error

Tim, what a poor bird.
