[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun

After Superman finished asking, he stopped talking, waiting for Audrey's answer.Audrey was silent for a moment.

She didn't actively reveal that she had another memory, which would make her feel like she was still trapped in the river of time that didn't exist.And she didn't want to be so familiar with Superman that she thought she was just a phantom in some memory.

Just let the past take its course, Audrey thought.

But at the moment when the explosion detonated, she still blurted out "Carl".There may be a few people who know the Kryptonian's real name, but Audrey Lewis, who he just met not long ago, is definitely not among those people.It was probably at that moment that Superman realized that apart from the accident that gave her superpowers, there were more secrets that Audrey had never revealed.

She is from the world of Flashpoint.

"Flashpoint." Audrey said, "That's the name The Flash gave to that world."

She looked up, looking directly at Clark.In order not to draw attention, Audrey wears a pair of tinted contact lenses that give her eyes a sort of emerald green: "Yes, Carl. I know. I remember all that."

Although he had the answer earlier, Superman still showed a look of surprise and sadness.He whispered, "Why is this happening?"

Audrey sat down on the grass and patted the ground beside her.Superman imitated her and sat on the ground, with the red cloak winding behind him, covered with sporadic grass clippings.Audrey tilted her head and looked at him, with some gentle tiredness in her voice: "I don't know either. Maybe I actually know, but it's more like a joking coincidence. Some people call it accidental fate, but I think That's inevitable..."

"The Flash told you that I died in that world to stop the explosion, right?" Audrey smiled, resting her head on her raised knee. "I'm sorry for making you face a similar scene today."

Superman listened attentively and shook his head slightly: "I should say sorry, Audrey. I should thank you. You saved me."

Audrey laughed again. Although there was nothing funny in this sentence, she always seemed to smile when facing Superman or Clark: "Anyway, it was an explosion caused by huge energy, and I stopped it …was that explosion a trigger point, or rather, a necessary condition? It had some fantastic reactions with my soul. It involved a dialectic of matter and consciousness. If I had Batman in front of me, I think I would I'd be happy to explain the principle to him, but that's not what you want to hear?"

Superman frowned and thought about what Audrey didn't say clearly, and asked, "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand..."

Audrey put her hands on her knees and turned to look at him.Her voice was still so steady and clear, with a slight smile: "The main reason is that I don't want to forget you, Carl."

Superman's pupils dilated slightly, and his face flushed rapidly.A faint blush climbed from the tips of the ears to the neck, well hidden under the light of the setting sun.He lowered his eyes uncomfortably and touched his nose: "Uh. Thank you, Audrey. But I don't remember what happened to 'that me'..."

Audrey let out a low laugh.She looked away, too, and replied softly, "I know, Carl. I'm not treating you as 'another person.' I'm just stating the facts, please don't feel burdened by that."

"It's starting all over again, isn't it?" she said, "at least for me."

They sat in silence for a while, neither of them speaking.The homing birds fluttered through the air, and flew into the forest with singing.The evening wind blew Audrey's blond hair, and they watched the twilight slowly dye the sky, and the Polaris emerged brightly in the sky that had not yet completely darkened.

"I guess you also want to ask about my superpowers, right?" Audrey said.

"Yes. You don't have to tell me if you're worried that I'll use the information I've learned against you," said Superman. "We can pretend this conversation never happened."

"You know I don't think so," Audrey said, and they all laughed.Audrey moved a bit and sat closer to Superman.

"Okay, let's see what I can do. Honestly, I'm not skilled in this universe," she said.

She picked up a few dead grasses and held them up in front of Superman.Then, a breeze rose from her palm, and the dead grass flew up in a whirl, circled in the air for two weeks, and then fell back to her palm. Several grasses twisted together to form two embracing human figures, and they began to dance lightly.

"Haha, how do you do that?" Superman was amused. "I guess it's the wind—that's why you fly, right?"

"Not exactly." The two straw figures made a curtain call in a decent manner, and jumped off Audrey's hand. She smiled and made a gesture of taking something away in front of Superman's face, "Please Try to breathe, Mister Superman."

Superman does as he says.He didn't need to breathe, so at first, he didn't notice any difference in the cool air rushing into his lungs; but then he said in surprise, "You turned the air I breathe into pure oxygen... ..."

"Yes." Audrey gestured solemnly, "This is nitrogen..." Spreading her arms, she gestured for a basketball, "This is oxygen..." An ordinary tennis ball, "This is carbon dioxide and other gases." She held out her hand, pretending there was a pearl there.

Superman said with interest, "So, you can manipulate gas with precision, right? Any gas?"

He reached out to touch the "gas pearl", but only touched Audrey's cool palm.Audrey held back his smile and pulled his index finger.Only then did Superman realize that she was joking, gave her a helpless look, and retracted his fingers.

Audrey cleared her throat as if nothing had happened, and replied: "Theoretically, I can feel the surface of gas molecules or atoms... However, the more unstable the gas, the more difficult it is to manipulate, so I think the limit of this ability should be fixed value."

She shrugged: "In the world of Flashpoint, Lawrence has been working on researching my upper and lower limits, the principle and mechanism of ability action, the breadth of application, etc...Thanks to her, I have found quite a few ways to apply abilities .Maybe let her say, I still owe her a thank you."

Superman's smile faltered, the associations of that world making him viscerally sad.He asked in a low voice: "Audrey, how long have you been in that laboratory?"

Audrey lowered her eyes, and Superman heard her reply, "Sixteen years."

"I will definitely let Lawrence be punished." She stared at the gradually darkening sky, and the lights of the metropolis began to be lit up one by one, making her eyes also seem to be lit by something, "No matter what..."

----

Standing in front of the workbench, Batman carefully put the kryptonite sample brought back by Tim into the analysis instrument.

Damian watched this scene with his arms crossed, his face full of displeasure.Then, Dick Grayson, who finally went home, walked into the Batcave, and put his coat on the back of the chair: "I heard that you asked Tim to go to the Metropolis, B. What about others?"

Damian said, "That guy said he was too sleepy, so he dropped his things and went to bed. Grayson, what are you doing back here?"

Dick raised his eyebrows: "Of course it's for our lovely Robin! Have you finished your homework, little D?"

"I don't need your concern!"

"Ye Yi is right. I won't take you on night patrol until the homework is finished, Robin."

Damian made a gasp of protest, and reluctantly went to do his homework.Dick then leaned over to Batman: "So, what happened? Is this kryptonite?"

"Yes." Batman stared at the display screen, operating something, "Red Robin brought it back from Audrey Lewis' trunk."

"Oh my God! You don't want to say these kryptonites have something to do with today's explosion at the Met?" Dick said.

"It looks like this at the moment. How do you know?" Batman stared at the test results and rubbed the space between his brows.

"I heard it from my colleagues when I got off work. How did you know? You shouldn't have gotten up when the explosion happened?" Dick asked.

"..." Batman was suspiciously silent for a moment, then changed the subject nonchalantly, "I thought you were going to ask who Audrey Lewis was."

"I knew you wouldn't tell me, so I asked Superman myself after hearing what Tim said."

Batman turned around alertly: "...you asked Superman?"

Dick shrugged and said, "Um, Clark exactly? He said he was a friend. Well, that disapproving look from Batman—seems like I've done something I shouldn't have done, huh?" ?”

Batman couldn't help but sigh. "Too obvious," he said.

"It's okay, Grayson." Damian, who was doing homework next to him, sneered, "What you did was not stupid enough-Drake left the bat smoke canister on the roof of the Metropolis, and when he went to recycle it, he found that there were less Got one! Who do you think the smoke can is now?"

"Wow," Dick said dryly, "I guess it's not Superman."

"I'd rather be that way," said Batman, putting away the kryptonite shards. "That's out of the way. It's Superman's personal business."

Dick said, "Really? Don't you need to remind him? After all, uh, his friends wanted to kill him."

"Lex Luthor is no friend of Superman," Batman replied. "He has enough friends, without adding a careerist."

"I mean Audrey Lewis," Dick said. "You mean the kryptonite came from Luthor?"

"That's obvious," said Batman, looking a little absent-minded. "There's no way Lewis could have gotten a whole kilo of kryptonite, they're rarely in commercial circulation. Cross-sections show the fragments were crushed in the blast, while As far as I know, this filling technology was monopolized by the Lex Group a few years ago."

"Okay, okay." Ye Yi raised his hands and gave up thinking, "Then how did kryptonite appear in Lewis' trunk?"

"There's no way to draw conclusions at this point," Batman said. "Never mind that—you're on my night watch tonight, Nightwing."

"What?" Damian said, "but I just finished my homework! So what are you doing tonight?"

"Sleep." Batman said succinctly, stood up, and put his hand on Damian's shoulder, "You too, Damian."
