Audrey lay in the cloud.

There is always a thick cloud hanging over Gotham, giving the illusion that the curtain covering Gotham will never move.But when you come above the clouds, you know that this is not the case.These dark clouds are typical stratiform clouds. Above the clouds, they still look pure white.

And they are constantly tumbling and migrating, the tropospheric wind will always push them far away, but this layer of leaden gray dots that are exclusive to Gotham's sky will never disappear. After some clouds leave, others will always make up for them .They are saturated with water vapor, and lying in the clouds feels like lying on the surface of the water and drifting with the current.And Audrey let go of her thoughts at this moment, like a feather on the water, letting the flowing clouds take her to an unknown place.

Bruce explained to her several situations that can make a person's existence disappear.

At best, it's artificial and not supernatural: erasing all traces of the Internet may be complicated, but it's not unthinkable.But erasing all data so quickly within a few days, and then destroying paper materials is undoubtedly a fantasy, not to mention that this method cannot modify people's memories; the next few situations are even more equal The worst: he may be trapped between dimensions, outside of time, and never be able to leave; or the power of magic has erased everything about him.Worst case, maybe the world restarts again before they know it, and his presence has been taken over.

"If you really care about this, first determine whether he is still in reality." Bruce said, "At least we now know that Spider-Man has not been forgotten."

Audrey closed her eyes and folded her hands on her chest.She remembers the days of "Flashpoint" and the people who disappeared and came back.Where did the disappeared people go after the universe restarted?Did they never exist?Does anyone still remember?The thoughts gradually drifted away, and Audrey quickly pulled them back.

She silently counted what she was going to do next: count the battle damage in Dawn City, submit it to the United Nations by the Justice League, and then make a unified calculation of the funds...Who is on duty in the League now?Or are you talking about rescheduling?Routine maintenance of the White Tower... Visit the Avengers once, ask Tony if he can upgrade Bee, and ask Peter by the way... The last conversation between Peter and Tony was not a fight over missing the final exam, right?And about Lawrence, the raft prison is obviously not as safe as she thought, what happened to those hydra now?Before being sent to the universe, she was planning to find a new house with Clark... What is Clark doing now?

The sun was shining on her body, Audrey floated with the clouds, and fell asleep unknowingly.

Clark was sitting on a cloud, looking down on his city.I don't know what method Alfred used, but the editor-in-chief Perry didn't say a word about his unexcused absence.

But this is not difficult to understand: the equity of the Daily Planet changed hands three times during the economic downturn, and was even acquired by Jin Merger at one time-the gang leader proved to be a dangerous character, but the New York gangsters in Gotham gangsters In front of him, he was slightly inferior.When Jin Bing's power in New Jersey was forced to shrink due to the violent encroachment of the Gotham gang, the Wayne Group took over the industries he left behind, and the most famous of them was the Daily Planet.In other words, Bruce Wayne was the immediate boss of the Planet Daily at this time, and the absenteeism of a gold medal reporter was naturally not worth mentioning in comparison.

So of course he didn't encounter any troubles at work, it's just... It's just that the aftershocks brought about by the unrighteous universe have not completely disappeared.Everyone in the Justice League quickly joins life again after returning. Superheroes cannot be tired or confused. The sparks splashed by the heavy hammer of life will forge hearts of gold.

Clark has experienced more difficult opponents and more difficult dilemmas than that one. He escaped from another dark universe and is still the Superman who symbolizes hope.But mental exhaustion was hard to get rid of for a while. He sat on top of the fluffy and white clouds in the clear sky of the metropolis, allowing himself to relax for a while.

He watched the clouds come and go before his eyes, and his body remained motionless, like a fisherman sitting by the river.This association made Clark want to laugh. He stood up and planned to go back to the ground.

Before the melancholy in his mood had completely dissipated, he saw his little fish——a group of wavy clouds encased his Audrey, drifting along the wind.Her eyes were slightly closed, and one hand unconsciously half-embraced a cloud of mist in her arms, apparently falling asleep.This scene was a bit dreamy. Clark didn't realize it for a while, and stood there blankly, watching the cloud send his lover in front of him.He blinked, and the arc of the corner of his mouth became wider and wider, and finally he couldn't help laughing lowly.

He sat down again, lowered his head, and gently pressed his forehead and Audrey's forehead together.Audrey closed her eyes, kissed him in a daze, and subconsciously went into his arms.Then, she opened her eyes and met Clark's eyes: "...Clark?"

Since Clark saw her, the arc of the corner of his mouth has not come down.Audrey accepted the fact that she ran into her lover's arms when she opened her eyes, and didn't show much surprise.But then, she reached out and poked a hole in the clouds, and looked down: "Metropolis?"

"Exactly, my little Tristan*." Clark said solemnly, "I picked you up here, where are you from and where are you going?"

"Ah, my beloved Princess Isolde*." Audrey replied very cooperatively, "I left Gotham and came here to find my destiny!"

The two laughed together.Clark didn't ask what Audrey was doing, but just pressed her face gently: "Are you tired, Lily?"

"Only a little bit." Audrey snuggled into Clark's arms comfortably, and gestured with her fingers, "What about you? Are you tired?"

"Superman will occasionally skip work and stare blankly on the clouds." Clark said with a smile, "but it's the first time that he picked up the prince."

"Oh, my princess, meeting you as soon as I opened my eyes is the happiest thing for me today." Audrey said lazily, "Is there anything happy when you are in a daze?"

"Well..." Clark replied thoughtfully, "There are a lot."

He smiled and described to Audrey: There was a child flying a kite with his puppy in the square, they all looked very happy; a girl was waiting at the station, her boyfriend was hiding a bunch of kites behind his back The rose sneaked up to her; an old gentleman told a joke and made his friend laugh; and on a farm in Kansas, there was a beautiful lamb basking in the sun, whose white wool was as white as the clouds here. Glow in the sun...

"That's great." During his narration, Audrey smiled.She smiled and sighed softly in the pocket of Clark's shoulder: "This is the world we protect."

When Audrey knocked on Tony's window, Tony was sitting on a small bench in a vest and tinkering with his robotic arm.When he saw Audrey floating upside down outside the window and knocking on his window in a posture that did not conform to the laws of physics, he looked like a balloon full of air had been poked by a needle, and he almost fell indoors. Started flying around: "What are you doing!"

When Audrey was let in, his behavior of waving a wrench and yelling didn't end: "Can't you walk through the door? You've always walked through the door before! What about your manners! You can't just because you can fly!" Omit these dozens of floors—the Stark Tower is not without elevators!"

"Well, Tony..." said Audrey, "if I walk in the door, you'll ask Friday to lock me out until you remember it."

"You've been spoiled by the old bat!" Tony still yelled, "Either the big blue guy, or the hot guy, or the baby in pajamas—uh—you can't learn the same as them!"

"Baby in pajamas?" Audrey asked with great interest, "Spider-Man?"

"Uh, did I say something wrong?" Tony slapped the mechanical arm viciously, and the iron sheet made a crisp sound, "Isn't that pajamas he's wearing? Look at that tasteless blue pajama pants!"

"Hmm..." Audrey looked at his expression and asked thoughtfully, "Do you know who Spider-Man's real identity is?"

Tony jerked his head up.He stared at Audrey, his expression changed a few times, and finally settled on a nonchalant curled lips: "Who knew? Does Tony Stark seem so free? Going to care about an acrobat, sorry, I don't—"

"He's Peter Parker, isn't he?" Audrey said.

Tony looks like he's choking on a lemon, choking on it.He jumped up again, looking at Audrey with piercing eyes.The two of them looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and said at the same time: "You remember him!"

"Why do you remember him?" They said in unison.

"Of course I remember him!" Still in sync.

Tony took two steps back, sat down on his small bench again, and buried his face in his palms: "You are the only person I've seen these days who still remembers him...God."

"It's not just me," Audrey said. "Everyone in the Justice League should remember him. So, do you know what happened?"

"Why is that again? I'm a little jealous of you guys." Tony said sullenly, "What else could it be? That fool saved the world, and that's the price."

"What price?" Audrey said, "Is he trapped between dimensions? Was he watched by the demon god? Or something else?"

"...I do sometimes worry about what the Justice League is facing?" Tony said blankly, "A magic that makes his existence—his own existence, forgotten by the world. But he is still In this world, it's just losing everything...everyone I knew, everyone who loved him, comrades, family, friends and lovers, whoever it was, everyone has forgotten him."

"But you remember him," said Audrey.

"Of course I fucking remember him!" Tony gritted his teeth. "Magic needs a keeper: to hide a forgotten secret in your heart, and you can't tell it anyway, like a key. Ha! I really do I hate this nonsense mysticism. Of course, the keeper needs to be absolutely trustworthy, never weak, and take the safety of the world as his own responsibility... Guess who he chose to be this unlucky ghost?"

Although Tony's tone was so intense, the eye circles of the man with the moustache were silently red.With a low curse, he turned his back to Audrey.Audrey didn't know what to say for a while, so she patted him on the back gently.

"So, if you found out that I really don't remember him, what would you do?" Tony said back at her.

"Uh..." Audrey touched her chin and thought for a while, "Should be watching Spider-Man appear in New York, subdue him, and then take off his hood to see who he is?"

"..." Tony pointed weakly at the door, "Get out for me."

*Note: In the famous Celtic legend "Tristan and Isolde", Tristan was put on a small boat to drift along the current, resigned to fate, and finally drifted to the coast of Ireland, where he met his beloved Isolde.
