A meow and a dog

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The tall man with a tired face looked back at him in surprise: "Are you...asking me?"

The boy winked at him: "Yes, I'm asking you."

The man let out a muffled laugh, turned around and patted the boy's head: "I'm, uh, Bit. I'm here to find someone. What about you, kid?"

The boy smiled "hee hee": "This is my family's farm, of course I want to be here, sir." He said, found a ridge to sit down, and called the man to come with him. "I'm Clark Kent. Nice to meet you, sir."

The man reached out and shook Clark's hand for a while, then asked, "Do you know Carl?"

"Sorry, sir, there doesn't seem to be anyone named Carl around." Clark lowered his head and thought for a while, then replied dejectedly.But soon, he cheered up again, "But maybe you tell me about his characteristics, I can remember."

The man patted Clark's head again and muttered, "So hopefully you'll find—well, what exactly do you want to know?"

"Like his clothes or his personality?"

"He always wears tights, and he has his hair pulled up in a little curl over his forehead—that's a silly hairstyle, if you ask me."

"But I think so, sir."

The man stared at Clark, and didn't move his eyes until he realized that this sentence was not a joke.He rubbed his fairly neat hair with his hands, and then continued: "Is his character easy to bully? I have to say, I have to evaluate it this way." The man laughed a few times, "Sometimes, I feel that He's cute - yes, cute."

Clark tugged at his trouser legs in distress: "You can't describe it as cute—how can there be a cute man in the world?"

"Maybe there is, kid," said the man, "but he does piss me off sometimes. He's always so conceited that he can save the world by himself(*1) and doesn't want to learn to cooperate(*2) .is irritating."

"Is he a hero, sir?" Clark said. "If he's a hero, you must be, too."

The man seemed amused: "Why do you say that, kid? He's a hero, but I'm not."

"Heroes are always merciful, sir," Clark said with a laugh. "I learned that from the comics."

The man stared at Clark again, and looked at him for a while: "Maybe you're right, but it's not just heroes who are merciful, kid."

Clark found a notebook and a pen out of nowhere: "I want to write it down, and then tell my mother that she will definitely like this sentence. Then, sir, what other characteristics does he have?"

"He loves desserts - especially biscuits and things like that."

Clark smiled and shook his shoulders: "I like that too, sir—and, I think you must like him?"

"How do you say that?" the man asked seemingly puzzled.

"No one will take the time to remember the hobbies of an ordinary friend. Just like me, I won't remember it specially."

The man raised his eyebrows and changed the subject: "Can you show me what you wrote?"

Clark nodded and handed over the notebook: "Of course, here you are."

"'Heroes always pity, but not only heroes'," read the man, and tapped the boy on the shoulder. "It's kind of the same thing, yes, boy."

"But we haven't found Karl, sir."

The man asked in surprise, "Didn't we find him?"

"Yes, not yet, sir."

"Alright then." The man stood up and patted the dirt on his body. "Then I'm going to look for him again. If you see her, remember to tell me."

Clark was puzzled: "How can I find you, sir?"

"Go talk to the bat, boy. It'll bring me the message."

Clark nodded half-understanding: "Okay, sir."

The man waved his hand and resumed his search.His back gradually became smaller on the road, and then disappeared completely.

On the other side, Clark, who was about to go home, stopped.He blinked curiously, and picked up something from the ground—it was a piece of fabric with the letter "S" printed on it.

"Bruce, have you found your Cal?" Superman asks Batman years later.

Batman glanced at him, "What are you talking about?"

"Probably, it's about a parallel bat that strays into a dream."

The author has something to say:

(*1) Events in "Justice League Superman".

(*2) Events from The New Batman Season [-].

The scumbag author doesn’t know what he’s writing anymore, but the author doesn’t know how to change the QAQ. If someone doesn’t understand, it must be a problem with a certain way of expression QAQ......

If you have any comments, please tell me, I will modify it immediately!
