No matter how sincere Strange expresses, in the eyes of Superman, or all heroes, it is still difficult for them to 100% understand this man's thoughts.

He is so weird.

The behavior of Superman and Celia going to meet Strange this time seems to be of no use. He only understands that Strange has expressed his sincerity, but he really doesn't understand anything else.Doctor Strange is still ambiguous as before.

But Silia seems to be in deep thought, and Doctor Strange's nagging narration seems to match her brainwaves that are different from ordinary people.Clark didn't know what she understood, but when he went back, it was obvious that Celia spent less time in a daze, as if she wasn't as worried as before.

It's just that Celia doesn't seem to enjoy herself as much as she used to, and she asks to resume daily training.Superman is still a little worried about her transformation. Maybe the former Celia wanted to give up her identity as a soldier when she was by his side, and she just ate and drank like an ordinary girl every day.But now, she is going to resume training again, which means that she is really starting to prepare for the future, and she has picked up her original identity.

However, if Celia is really determined to kill the tyrant, then it may be a good thing that she starts to resume training.Although she is a mage, training is also very important. A good warrior must train every day.There is an old saying on the earth, if you don't practice for one day, you will know it, if you don't practice for three days, your peers will know it, if you don't practice for ten days... everyone can see it.Celia has not trained for several months and really needs to get back to practice.

But who will be the sparring partner, and where will the venue be chosen?Before Superman could think of a solution, Celia had already made up his mind - Strange was willing to come and teach her himself.

Although everyone always likes to complain that he looks like a weirdo, no one does not recognize his strength.Doctor Strange is the Supreme Sorcerer, he is even more powerful than his master Ancient One, although the source of the two spells are different, but they are always the same, no one on earth is more suitable to teach Celia than Doctor Strange who knows everything .

Superman was finally able to part with Silia with peace of mind, and went to concentrate on the meeting.The sooner he sorts things out on Earth, the sooner they can leave.

Generally speaking, the training location of the two is at the North Pole. Not far from the Fortress of Solitude, Doctor Strange will open a mirror space, and the training of the two inside will not affect the outside.

After the initial confrontation, Doctor Strange quickly discovered Celia's problem.

"There are two problems with your spells. First, your offensives are all killing moves. They are too murderous and easy to be spotted and avoided in advance." Strange said, "Second... your moves are simply A complete replica of Ebony Maw."

"He is the only mage on the starship. My spells are taught by him, of course he is like him." Celia scratched her head, "What's the matter, is there any problem?"

"Of course there is a problem. The two of you are mages with different origins. What suits him may not suit you. On the contrary, it is easier to greatly reduce the effect." Strange said, "You have too many traces of imitation, which is not a good thing. .I want you to throw away everything you've learned in the past, start from scratch, and use only instinctive attacks."

"Ah?" Xilia wailed, "But I have practiced these things for more than ten years, and many things have become a natural reaction, how could I throw them away all at once?"

Doctor Strange is very, very serious when he's a mentor.In the previous meeting, when he looked at her, there was a kind of gentleness and nostalgia of a wise man.But now, Strange's face was watery, and even his eyes revealed strictness.

"You can do it, you just have a natural habit of hiding your abilities." He said in a deep voice, "You have to throw away what Ebony Maw taught you. Only when you find your own way can you defeat them, otherwise you will never be able to defeat them." Just a bootleg of Ebony Maw."

"Okay, okay..." Celia muttered.

Really serious, can't afford to be offended.

When Clark got home at night, he saw Celia sprawled out on the bed. She stared blankly, like an old cat who had no love for life and lost enthusiasm for life.

"What's wrong?" Superman felt amused.He leaned down and kissed Celia's forehead lightly.

Celia raised her head stiffly and looked at him.

"You earthlings are really too strong." She said, "If you hadn't sealed the earth for so long, I guess the earthlings must have ruled the galaxy."

Clark knew she might have been spurred by Doctor Strange.

"Strange broke your proud confidence in the strength of the Thanos group?" Clark said with a smile.

"No, it's not because we are weak, but because you are abnormally powerful." Silia muttered, "It's unreasonably powerful, and his magic ability is one of the best even in the universe. Your little ones How come there are so many perverted people on this planet?"

Clark smiled, and he stretched out his hand and snorted Helia's hair, "It's good, you and him can learn something, and I can feel relieved."

Doctor Strange knows the future. If he stays with Celia, it is absolutely impossible for her to have an accident.Because if an event is about to happen, and Doctor Strange wants to let it happen, he should not show up and avoid the event, just like he did with the Rebellion.

One day, Superman came back early, and their training had just come to an end.

"Have a cup of tea before you go." Superman said to Doctor Strange, "I still have tea left by Bruce here, you should like it."

Celia ran to take a bath on the second floor of the Fortress of Solitude, while the two drank tea on the first floor.

They were sitting in Clark's original observation room, but the original wall monitoring screen had been removed, leaving only the whistling wind and snow outside the long strip of glass.

Bruce's taste is indeed guaranteed, and Doctor Strange, who likes to drink tea, is very satisfied with what he tastes.

"Is there anything you want to talk to me about, Clark?" Doctor Strange said slowly while drinking tea.

"Can't I invite you if there is nothing to do?" Superman said, "Didn't you say before that you hope we trust you and treat you as a friend. It shouldn't be a big deal to invite a friend to have a cup of tea."

Strange froze for a moment, then he shrugged.

"It makes sense."

It felt impossible for Superman to hold the teacup and drink tea in peace. He clinked glasses with Doctor Strange and drank the tea like beer.

"I'm just curious. You know countless futures. In your eyes, life must be full of danger and betrayal." Clark looked at Strange. Your eyes should all lead to countless possibilities ... and it is incredible that you resisted the urge to intervene."

Doctor Strange sighed softly.

"If you can see enough of the future, too, Clark. You realize how small a single race is, and how pessimistic everything is. Human history and disputes seem to go back and forth forever, which makes me sometimes I feel hopeless." He said calmly, "But, as the guardian of the earth, my duty is not to interfere with human beings, but to protect them... Only through pain can one grow, a child who is afraid of falling will never learn to run .”

Superman fell silent.

"So, your thoughts and ideas are the opposite of what I was before. Then why have you never voiced your dissatisfaction for 15 years?"

Strange watched him softly.

"In the words of Mr. Finch, if the world is a game of chess, then human beings have only just taken a step forward, and there is still a long way to go before the end of victory. This sounds hopeless, but on the other hand, young humans still have a chance Try to find a path that is truly suitable for the development of your own race. Even if you take a wrong step, you still have time to correct it." He said, "All of this is meaningful, Clark. Every change of the times and every attempt It is progress, and only after continuous trial and error, perhaps one day in the future, human beings will always create the country they want."

Doctor Strange always gives people a sense of drifting, which may be caused by his different vision from others.Ordinary humans focus on their daily lives, superheroes look at the whole world, and Doctor Strange, he looks at the universe and even the earth in different dimensions.

At this time, footsteps came from the stairs, and it was Xilia, whose hair hadn't dried yet, walking briskly down the stairs.

"Conscience storm again?" Celia said, "Do you heroes like to reflect on whether you have contributed to the world every once in a while?"

The eyes of the two men have become helpless.

"If we don't have you, a gag alien around us, how boring life will be." Strange said with a half-smile.

"For me, you are also aliens." Celia shrugged.

The two send Strange away.

I don't know if it is incompatible with Kryptonian technology, the mage can only open his portal if he has to go outside.Watching him step back into his temple in the circle, Superman and Silia closed the door of the Fortress of Solitude.

"I also want to learn that portal, it's really convenient." Xilia said with emotion, "It's a pity that he and I are not the same mage."

"According to the theory, I can reach any place on the earth in a second, and I don't think it's any different from his." Clark argued.

one second.Let alone this son of Krypton, if he brought someone casually, that person would probably be torn to pieces.

"It doesn't sound elegant at all," Celia said.

"How was your training today?" Clark asked as the two walked towards the bedroom on the second floor.

Celia immediately pursed her lips decadently, "Strange is really too strict, he is simply a devil. What he said is right, but it is difficult to do it."

"You mean he made you throw away what Ebonmaw taught you before?"

"Yeah." Celia muttered.

Clark had heard Celia complain before.In fact, he also understands that it is very difficult. Muscle memory will appear if a movement is repeated thousands of times. If it is more than ten years of training, especially this kind of repeated practice similar to moves, it has already become a body instinct.Even if Celia loses her memory, her body still remembers how to fight back.It is indeed very strict for Doctor Strange to ask her to throw away all that, and she may not be able to get used to the new way of fighting in a short time.

but……

"Throw it away, it's good to throw it away, what Ebony Maw taught is not a good thing." Superman said kindly, "Strange is right, you should listen to him."

"You just don't like him." Xilia cast a distrustful look.

"I didn't," Clark said quietly.

He didn't care how advanced Ebony Maw's spell skills were. He was extremely upset when he thought that Celia had a crush on that guy in the past.Moreover, there is a doubt that has been lingering in his mind for a long time.

"Since when did he start teaching you spells?" Superman couldn't help asking.

"It started when I was five years old," Celia recalls.

And there are some things that you can't think deeply about. If you think too much, it's easy to beat someone up.

Ebony Throat, for example, has been tutoring her one-on-one since she was a little girl for 15 years.Compared to the confrontation with Proxima Centauri, Celia has always said that Ebony Maw treats her very well.

Five-year-old Celia began training with Ebony Maw 15 years ago when Superman was crushing the world.Over the years, has Ebony Maw taken advantage of her ignorance?Or, is there a possibility that Ebony Maw manipulates her eerie aesthetic?In her heart, is Ebony Throat the standard handsome guy?

I can't think about it. If I think too much, Clark will be extremely upset.Ordinary men are angry, jealous, and hot-eyed, which is an adjective, but Superman is different.If he was really angry, he would really be unable to control his red eyes, and then shoot hot eyes... That scene would be ugly.

Clark calmed down, and then he couldn't help sighing when he saw Celia lying on the bed humming and scrolling through social software, heartless.

Since that day, Superman no longer wears a uniform. At this moment, his suit has been taken off while drinking tea with Strange, and now he only wears a white shirt and a suit vest.The man leaned down and put his arms around Celia from behind.

Unexpectedly, it received a huge protest from Xilia.She fluttered like a bird, only missing her feathers.

"You haven't showered yet, don't hug me in your outer suit." Celia spun around in his arms, then reached out and shoved Superman's shoulder.

Clark: ...

"Did our love period pass so quickly?" he asked a little skeptically.

"Do you think the two of us are elementary school students falling in love together?" Xi Liya said, "You have too much aura outside. How many reporters and government officials have you met today? Go take a shower quickly."

Women are big pigs!

"Did you forget that when we were not together before, you clung to me." Clark put his hands on Helia's sides, and he said aggrievedly, "Why didn't you dislike me then?"

Celia stared at the ceiling.She said leisurely, "Women are fickle."

Clark thought for a while, then he suddenly lowered his head. Amidst Celia's screams, he frantically rubbed his external smell on Celia's body like a big dog shaking its fur.In the end, it ended up being overturned on the wall by Xilia with strength.

Celia took a bath for nothing.

"You're such a villain!" Celia lost her mind and threw her hands at Superman.

The two 'scrambled' together, and Superman laughed heartily. When he tried to hold Helia, the girl in his arms suddenly stopped moving.He looks down.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"I see." Celia said thoughtfully, "Every time I hit you, I used instinct instead of moves. Is this the root cause Strange asked me to look for?"

Superman: ...

Superman: "...then you can hit me more usually, it's okay, I can still bear it."

Celia rubbed her chin and began to think about this possibility.And Clark suddenly remembered the feeling of concussion in the underground of the X-Men base.His magic resistance is relatively weak, but as long as he is careful, it is difficult for others to get close.However, Xilia is different. Her spells seem to be completely used to restrain him.If her ability improved a little bit, it would definitely be very uncomfortable to be beaten.

Moreover, Superman understands that in Silia's eyes, he is a rough-skinned and thick-skinned person, and she will never feel distressed when he starts to fight.

Looking at Celia's seriously thinking face, Superman suddenly began to feel chills on his back.He regretted it, and he had to do something to interrupt Celia's terrible train of thought.

He bent down and lifted Celia up, and walked to the bathroom.

"I apologize, let's wash together again." Clark said in a very upright manner.

At night, after a long bath, the two finally changed into clean bathrobes and nestled together on the bed.Celia also temporarily forgot the plan that Clark proposed to be a sandbag herself.

Clark held Celia's shoulders, and when he lowered his head, he could see the girl leaning on his arms, her black hair spread out like algae, making her delicate face even smaller.

In fact, she has a very innocent and innocent girly face, and many American women are sexy and charming when they are fifteen or sixteen years old.In fact, she does not look like a girl in the mainstream aesthetics of the United States, but her temperament, her eyes and the feeling are special enough.You can use facial features and hair color to judge that she may have the blood of countries in the Mediterranean region, but it is impossible to completely place her in which country.

In the past, Celia seemed to prefer to use her appearance to her advantage, pretending to be a non-threatening, obedient and well-behaved girl.But the aura on her body always has a mysterious and cunning feeling.

But after being with Superman for so long, not only Superman has changed, but also her.Xilia let go of her defenses, and she will no longer be strategically obedient and obedient, but under this mask, she is actually a calm and confident person.Her self-confidence does not come from her own strength, but that she seems to see through everything.She doesn't care, is not afraid, accepts her abilities and reality, and has no desires... Her self-confidence is more like spiritual self-confidence.She can be defeated because of her weakness, but her indifference makes her seem like she doesn't care about everything.

When she was lying in his arms calmly and indifferently, staring ahead and thinking about something, she seemed to have a charm different from the past.

Clark naturally didn't know that Celia had threatened Harold in the base of the rebel organization.She's actually starting to care about Superman, and other heroes who have treated her well, but she won't express it.

Superman just felt that Celia seemed to have changed.

She seemed to have broken away from her previous image, her eyes and demeanor seemed a bit like a real woman.Not the sexy and charming type, but it seems that she has grown up more steadily, no longer a pendant next to Superman in the past, but a maturity that can face other things side by side with him.

Of course, this kind of composure and indifference probably only existed when Xilia didn't speak.To make her really less childish, there is still some distance to go.

Superman also doesn't know if she changed because of him, or if she grew up knowing that Thanos would kill Gamora.These two represent worlds apart, the former bringing them closer than ever, while the latter...

Superman stared at her for so long that even the thoughtful Celia turned her head.

"What's the matter?" Xilia blinked slightly, and the calmness and indifference changed back to the youthful feeling of the past in the blink of an eye.

Clark leaned over, and the distance between the two narrowed to the point of nostrils, but Clark's blue eyes were still fixed on Celia.

"Are you going to leave me suddenly?" he said softly.

Mortals would never have imagined that beneath Superman's steel body was a sensitive and insecure heart.

And it's all thanks to what used to be the Human Division, and they did manage to break Superman's heart, which hasn't healed 15 years after he lost his adoptive parents.

"I won't. I promised you," Celia said.She reached out and touched his face, "I have nothing, why did I leave you?"

"Aren't you going to leave under any circumstances?" Clark pursed his lips. He stared at Celia, his eyes were like the sparkling sea, "If it's your sister...you..."

Celia was silent.

"This question is meaningless, Carl." She said softly, "If we leave the earth, and one day the earth needs your help, otherwise it will be destroyed... Even if I have something to do and I can't follow you, you will come back to save them yes, isn't it?"

He couldn't refute Celia.

Superman let out a sigh.In some ways, he and Celia are too similar.They wouldn't say things they couldn't do to comfort each other, but sometimes he hoped that both he and Celia wouldn't be so rational.

"You are right, Celia. It is meaningless to discuss this." Clark said helplessly, "What we should do is to discuss how to coordinate and cooperate with each other, rather than doing meaningless multiple-choice questions."

Celia smiled, "Yes. And no one has the ability to hurt Kamora except father. And you may think this matter too seriously, it's okay. I can go to Kamora Nebula and Nebula discuss together. If there is no Thanos, there will be no one in the universe who can hurt them. It is not possible... We will discuss it after we find Gamora. You can also go with us. If the conditions are suitable, you can go outside Star, you are also very strong."

Clark really did not expect that Celia would make such a big concession.She has always had a quack air of solving housework by herself before, but now she is willing to step back to let Superman follow behind to make up the knife, which is already a very large expression of trust and intimacy.

After all, while being moved, Superman suddenly thought of a very serious problem.

"Wait... In other words, I will definitely meet your sister one day." Clark murmured, "Then what should she do if she doesn't like me?"
