[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun

The hospital appears to be stable, with no rush or chaos.Audrey didn't know if the accident hadn't happened yet, or if Superman had already arrived, she circled carefully, took off quietly in a corner with dense bushes, and slowly approached the top floor of the hospital.

She bypassed the corridor where people might pass by, and flew to the inpatient ward where the victims were supposed to be.At noon, most of the nurses and inpatients went to the restaurant on the first floor, and no one stayed here.Audrey carefully avoided several open windows, and finally found an empty fire room.

She flew in, not forgetting to turn her head to notice that there were no passers-by below.The wind poured into the fire room following her movements, and Audrey got into the room like a bird, and then...unexpectedly, she bumped headfirst into someone.That person's body was so hard that Audrey felt as if she had hit her head on a rock. She couldn't help but took a step back and leaned against the window.

She suppressed the unspoken exclamation, because the man turned around, revealing a familiar face.Superman looked surprised, but he quickly sighed softly and smiled: "Hello, Audrey."

"...Superman? What are you doing here?" Audrey's heart beat fast.She never expected to meet Superman in this situation, and she swears that she really didn't intend to hide her superpowers from him!She just wanted to go with the flow... well, let it be.

Superman seemed to see her embarrassment, so he didn't ask this question immediately, but responded gently to her question that was clearly intended to change the subject: "Well, I just went to the Dongcheng District Nursing Home...someone pretended A chain bomb was launched."

"What?" Audrey said incredulously, "But besides the experimental subjects, there are so many ordinary people in the nursing home..."

"Unfortunately, the person who did this obviously didn't care much about the consequences." Superman motioned her to open the door of the fire room, and they walked carefully to the corridor, "Although there were some twists and turns, all in all, I finally succeeded in putting the Everyone was brought out. There was only a minimal explosion."

"'There was only a minimal explosion'?" Audrey whispered. "My God. You're saying it like, 'It's just a cream pie with no sauce'—you're not hurt, are you?"

Superman chuckled, and they turned the corridor.The sound of Audrey's footsteps echoed on the clean floor, and Superman flew low beside her on tiptoe.

"Bombs can't hurt Man of Steel," said Superman, his red cape waving slightly. "The sanitarium is fine—just the roof plumbing needs to be fixed. To be honest, I think those plumbing should be done too."

"Okay, okay, Man of Steel—what's going on now?" Superman always looks like a puppy begging for praise when he says it, even though he's just stating the truth.Audrey wanted to reach out and poke him, but stopped abruptly because she remembered that they were not so close and familiar now. Superman only saw her fingers move with her words.

Superman didn't care about this small gesture, his expression became serious with this question: "I can't take away the patients here, some of them have organ failure and must rely on external devices to survive."

They walked outside the intensive care unit, and Superman motioned for Audrey to look at the situation in the ward from the viewing window.Looking through the glass, the thin boy lying on the hospital bed inside was extremely emaciated, with a thin wrist pierced with a thick indwelling needle.He closed his eyes, his feeble breathing left a faint white mist on the oxygen mask, and the heartbeat monitor showed mechanical broken lines beside him, proclaiming that this young life was still struggling to survive in the world.Audrey recognized the child, and he even forgot his own age when Audrey rescued him.According to that document, he has spent seven years and four months in the laboratory, almost the entire time of his life.

At this moment, Audrey found herself trembling slightly.She thought she had escaped her fate, but the pain was still there...in the innocent, in her memory.She pressed her forehead against the glass and took a deep, deep breath.Audrey barely calmed down the rekindled anger, and turned to look at Superman: "So, what are you going to do?"

Staring at her with his pure blue eyes, Superman reached out and patted her on the back lightly, somewhere between reassurance and encouragement.There was resentment in his voice, and the voice was lowered very low, bringing out some kind of warm softness for no reason: "I'm sorry."

Audrey shook her head.Superman took her by the shoulders with a gentle but unquestionable attitude and led her away from the front of the ward. The sunlight in the corridor generously shone on Superman's face.He carefully observed Audrey's expression and confirmed that she had calmed down before answering her question: "They should use the same method... There are bombs in the hospital. No accident, the explosion time will be It was set at midnight today. But the people behind it should be aware of the movement of the nursing home - time is limited, I will find and dismantle them before the explosion."

"You're not sure where the bomb was," Audrey said.

"Yes." Superman smiled wryly, "Unlike a nursing home, I can't see through accurately here. Anti-radiation lead plates, radiation-shielding glass, lead doors in the DR room...the worst thing is that this building was built 40 years ago Before, that meant they were also using leaded cast iron pipes."

Audrey patted him on the shoulder and smiled.She said, "Don't worry...I'll help you."

Superman doesn't seem to agree, saying, "No, it's dangerous, you don't have to... oh!"

His words came to an abrupt end as Audrey flew up.She circled around Superman, finally stopped in front of him, and imitated his movements, floating on her toes.She looked left and right and said, "I think I could punch through this steel door...but I won't be here to demonstrate."

She turned to look at Superman, flew a little closer, and raised an eyebrow at him: "We have limited time-you will trust me, Superman?"

Superman stared at her gravely, seemingly about to say something.Audrey looked back at him without hesitation.After a few seconds, he couldn't help laughing, and raised his hands to Audrey to show his submission: "Yes. I admit it, I trust you, Audrey. Well, I'm glad you can help me... But one thing, please be careful. If something happens, just call 'Superman,' okay? I'll listen to you."

Audrey raised her hand, put her fingers together and made a not-so-standard salute gesture to him.They each turned around and flew towards both ends of the corridor.

A wind that cannot be ignored gradually blew up around Audrey.The wind was blowing around the room, and she closed her eyes, letting the air stretch out like her spiritual carrier.The still air vibrated like a string being plucked, and countless complicated messages were transmitted to Audrey's brain.She felt a tingling pain that couldn't be ignored, and it gradually became clearer as the air marked by her slowly pushed forward.

The body was still too tired and too weak.In this correct timeline, Audrey's superpowers have not really been developed for 16 years - she can grasp the source of power and keep returning her abilities to the level she is most familiar with, but after all she The time to wake up is still too short.

Audrey flew and stopped, and every time she stopped her perception of the air when she was about to reach the limit.She flew across countless rooms and pushed open the airtight doors. The feeling of uneasiness gradually expanded, making her palms gradually sweat.Not here...not here...what's going on with Clark?Does she really have the ability to take on this responsibility?

Her perception finally reached its limit outside the negative pressure isolation ward.The 10pa air pressure difference inside and outside the ward put a greater burden on Audrey's already under heavy load. The moment the air flow entered the door of the ward, her brain felt as if it had been subjected to a sledgehammer. On the ground, there was an unconscious groan of pain.

There was a whistling sound in the air, and Audrey stood up staggeringly.Her heart was beating crazily due to insufficient oxygen supply, causing her eyes to turn black.Audrey threw herself on the door of the ward, twisting the heavy handle forcefully.

"Audrey! Are you okay?" The breeze blew, and a familiar voice rang in Audrey's ear, and a warm hand held her shoulder at this moment. "I heard your heart beating very abnormally—sorry, I just wanted to keep you safe, and I didn't intend to pry into your privacy—and rushed over. What happened?"

Audrey held Superman's hand in a dizzy state, and said quickly, "I'm fine... There's an explosive in this ward! It's on the bed in the isolation area."

Superman let go of her and opened the door with this hand.Only then did she see that Superman's other hand was holding a strangely shaped black object, making a small countdown sound.

That should be another bomb - it's a very, very familiar shape.Where has she seen it?

Superman quickly took out the bomb from the ward.In his hands the two polygons lay still, revealing an ominous startling symmetry.The door of the ward was slowly closed under the action of air pressure, and Superman was frowning and staring at the things in his hand, whispering: "This is so strange... These two bombs are completely different from those in the nursing home, and I have never heard of them. Have ever heard or seen such a system—”

Audrey remembered where she had seen this style of bomb.Just then, the door of the ward slammed shut behind Superman, and there was a soft thud from the exhaust.The countdown to the bomb in Superman's hand stopped suddenly, and then, the string of numbers returned to zero without warning.

That pre-detonation tick snapped the string in Audrey's brain, and she yelled in panic, "Don't—Carl!"

Subconsciously, Superman wanted to keep his hands together, to hold the bomb so it wouldn't spread, as he'd done before.But there was a sudden gust of wind in the corridor, and Audrey rushed over like an arrow leaving the string, snatching the objects in his hands and hugging them tightly in her arms.Because of the speed, she hit the corner of the wall, but she just curled up, and the bomb ring was in the small space between her body and the wall.

Then, bright white light burst out, eclipsing the sunlight for a split second.The loud noise slowly reached Superman's ears, his pupils dilated, reflecting the back of Audrey holding the bomb tightly.

"Do not……"

His eyes played the explosion process like slow motion.Audrey trembled, and the aftermath spread out from where her body could not stop. The bricks in the corner of the wall shattered and splashed everywhere.Superman subconsciously stretched out his hand and flew towards Audrey, but his knees gave way the next moment, and he staggered to the ground.

The loud noise stopped, and Audrey knelt on the spot, still motionless.Superman stumbled towards her, and had no time to think about the reasons for his weakness, just thinking: nothing to do, absolutely nothing.

The Flash's statement rang in his ears again: she had sacrificed herself to prevent the explosion... Just thinking of that possibility made Superman feel a hand clutching his heart.He will never be able to forgive himself.

Then, Audrey moved and coughed weakly.The sound was hallucinatory, but the Kryptonian's super hearing let Superman know he heard correctly.Still holding something in her arms, Audrey said, "I'm fine—stay away, Superman."

Her voice was trembling, but she sounded stable: "This is a new type of ore bomb developed by Lawrence's LX laboratory and sold to the government. By filling the middle with radioactive solids, it can cause different killing effects... "

She stood up slowly and turned around.Superman felt the familiar and irresistible weakness. He tried his best to stand upright, looked at Audrey, and quickly looked away: "You are hurt... sorry."

More than half of the clothes on Audrey's upper body were torn, exposing a large area of ​​skin on her waist and abdomen, where a bruise the size of a fist could be seen.There are some kryptonite fragments in her hand, and it can be seen that they were once two complete pieces of kryptonite, and they are emitting green light at this moment.

Audrey swayed, flew up, moved a little further away from Superman, and smiled at him: "If they explode in your hands, these kryptonite fragments will definitely be inserted into your body. If you were me , you will do the same."

Alarmed by the explosion, security personnel hurried upstairs.Various emotions in Superman's heart were intertwined, and he chased a few steps in her direction: "Audrey! Where are you going?"

Audrey flew out of the corridor, and smiled softly: "I'm going to get rid of these kryptonite... and change my clothes by the way. The next thing is up to you, Superman."

----

"It looks like there was a car accident, and the cordon has been put up here." Tim Drake looked at the scene ahead and pressed the communicator.

"Specific circumstances." said a deep voice.

"Judging from the ruts, a small car changed lanes and hit Audrey Lewis' car. Then it veered again, accelerated a second time, but hit something and stopped. I could see some Fragments..."

"What about the car?"

"Towed away. Only Lewis' car here now."

"Go check the interior of the vehicle, Red Robin."

"I can't do it, B! There's a bunch of insurance people out here looking out for the situation."

"You can do it. Distracting them is a compulsory course for Robin."

"That's in Gotham... well, I can." Tim sighed resignedly, fumbling for his tools. "Nightwing can do it better than I can."

……

Audrey flew back to her car.Fortunately, although the car was cordoned off, there was no one around it for some reason.Thick brown smoke billowed from the top of a nearby hotel, making Audrey frowned.She stuffed the kryptonite into the inside of the suitcase, hurriedly pulled out a coat, put it on, and flew to the top of the hotel to check the source of the smoke.

……

Tim dropped the smoke bomb jar in his hand, and nimbly got into Audrey's car: "Okay, now those insurance company staff and passers-by think that the hotel pipes are leaking, so they left temporarily... ...hope they don't call the police."

Batman on the other end of the communicator was unmoved: "Check the situation."

Tim, already scanning the car, said, "Have to say, B, it's illegal. Well, let me see..."
