"You're going to take her to the North Pole, so have you prepared thick clothes for her?"

When they reached the edge of the North Pole, Bruce's question made Clark, the straight man of ice and snow, freeze.

Having not interacted with people for too long, he completely forgot that normal people cannot withstand the severe cold of the Arctic like him.But... the aliens... might be better, right?If Celia can withstand the temperature of fast flight, maybe it should also be able to withstand the low temperature of the Arctic...?

Clark lowered his head, and Celia was leaning on his arms relentlessly.

"Isn't it here yet?" she asked.

"Are you cold?" Clark asked.

Celia glanced at him, a speechless look similar to 'are you kidding me'.

……All right.Even if he didn't say anything.

The two continued on their way. After entering the North Pole, there was no abnormality in Xilia's physical indicators, but gradually stabilized.Clark lowered his head, and he saw that Celia fell asleep... asleep...

Celia did not feel any discomfort. She was not a human being in the first place, so she couldn't understand that human beings could not survive in the North Pole wearing single clothes.It can only be said that human beings are too pampered.She'd never even been afraid of Clark, or worried that he'd kill her little threat in the middle of nowhere.Death is the norm, and it is contributing to the harmony of the universe!

Celia closed her eyes and rested for a while, only feeling the cool breeze, and after a while, she heard Superman's deep voice.

"arrive."

Celia opened her eyes, she looked up, then froze—

In the empty white world of ice and snow, stands a huge 'castle' like a hill, which seems to be composed of countless huge, crystal clear ice crystals intersecting, shining under the stars.

"What is this...?" she murmured.

"My home." Superman put her down and walked forward. "Fortress of Solitude."

Different from the appearance of pure natural ice crystals, the way to open the lonely castle is to scan Superman's DNA. Under Clark's operation, the door in front of them slowly opened.

Silia followed Superman and walked in. The first thing she saw was a long corridor. Two circular mechanical gadgets flew out from nowhere, circling Silia, with a feeling of scrutiny.Clark raised his hand, and the two little things flew away.

At the end of the corridor was another door, but it was made of iron. It seemed that it had been opened for some years.The two passed through, and Celia saw that there were different Superman uniforms on the two floors of the corridor behind the gate. The materials and colors of each piece were different, except for the 'S' on the chest.

Celia watched Superman's ice crystal fortress everywhere, and she noticed that the interior and machinery inside made her feel familiar.

"It's not earthling technology, is it?" she said.

"This is the heritage of my hometown." Clark said, "It is the only evidence in the universe that can prove that Krypton once existed. All the technology, history, and observation data of Krypton are stored here."

"What about your hometown?"

"Destroyed." Superman said flatly.

They passed through different Superman uniforms, and Celia saw two gray statues, a man and a woman, standing in front of a fork in the road.

"These are my biological parents," Clark said.

The roads in the Ice Crystal Fortress extend in all directions, and Superman has been leading her on the main road. In the end, the two of them suddenly saw a huge circular room with densely packed screens on a wall of ice and snow. It is conservatively estimated that at least There were hundreds of them, and Xilia noticed that the scenes on these screens should be different surveillance pictures from countries around the planet, and the pictures would change every five seconds.On the other side is a long and narrow ice crystal glass like a floor-to-ceiling window, which can see the outside of the castle.

This room is divided into two parts, one side is a vibrant and full of human smoke city monitor, an endless stream of ordinary human beings are living peacefully in their city.On the other side, on the contrary, it is deserted, except for the snow-covered land and the white sky, only the cold wind keeps sweeping the tiny snowflakes on the ground and wreaking havoc on the empty Arctic continent.

An iron table and two chairs slowly rose from the floor of the machine, and Superman lifted his chin.

"sit."

Celia chose to sit on the chair on the North Pole side, and Clark sat across from her.

This is not like an invitation to be a guest in the pure sense. Even when Gamora and Nebula, who were once tit-for-tat and enemies, were bothering each other, the other party would throw a bottle of nutrient solution on the table as a 'treat' in an unkind manner.

Now, iron tables, enclosed spaces, one-on-one practices, unsmiling hosts—it all feels more like interrogation than hospitality.

It was a chilling moment, and no one in their right mind wanted to be in the same room as the White Lord, least of all to have his attention.Clark sat on the other side of the monitor, and the colorful colors of various countries were reflected on his blue eyes, but they couldn't warm the look in his eyes, as if coating a layer of ice with gloss.He watched Celia quietly, examining her.

Xilia didn't seem to feel anything. She sat on the chair, but looked around, unsteady.

"Do you have chocolate milk at home?" she asked. "Where's coffee?" Those were probably the words she learned the fastest on Earth.

Superman didn't speak, his hands rested on the table, the muscle lines like the mountains didn't need to be tense, it looked tense enough.

Celia finally turned her head, and she looked at Superman.

"Is this a trap?" she asked.The sound is no different from when I just asked for milk.

Clark finally reacted, he breathed lightly, his eyelids drooped slightly, and then lifted.

"I don't think Captain Hydra and Iron Man are able to study your identity." He said slowly, "They are excellent among humans, but their understanding of the universe is really scarce. Without the correct sample, your DNA It would be of no use."

"So you want to study me?" Celia said. "Do you have any unique methods?"

"I have a few questions I want to ask you, but first..."

Superman raised his head, and the fortress seemed to capture his consciousness and thoughts. A layer of golden light spread from the dome to the surroundings, and then disappeared, as if there was an additional layer of golden protective cover.

"You blocked other people?" Celia said.

"Iron Man and their tracking technology failed when we entered the North Pole," Clark said. "I blocked Bruce's."

Celia hasn't quite understood these superheroes with complicated relationships, but it seems that Tony and Bucky are a little wary of Superman, while Bruce and Superman feel better.

"I want to ask you, which planet are you from?" Clark asked.

Celia looked confused.She was always willing to pretend to be confused, but this time it was true.

"I don't know," she said. "I was taken aboard as a baby by my father, and he never said where I came from."

"So you don't even know what galaxy you are from."

"That's right." Celia said, "I mean, what can I do if I know? It must be destroyed anyway."

"What?" Clark frowned.

"Every time a father takes away a child he likes, he will kill half of the people on the child's planet, or the entire planet." Celia casually lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes, "One of my adopted sisters Gamora hates him for that, and that's why. But I don't hate him, I was on the boat when I was conscious."

Clark's eyebrows furrowed.

"But it's wrong."

"I know, you all find it hard to understand, but the universe is so cruel, Thanos just let us grow up in a real environment from childhood, what's wrong with that?" Celia said, "You To build a utopia, a beautiful small world for the people on earth - they can live in peace and happiness without contact with the world, but they are restricted and lose the freedom to touch the truth in person. Is this right? , how can it be summed up with simple right and wrong?"

"You're right, this universe is cruel, and humans at this stage are too ignorant from the government to the common people. Unfortunately, I still love these stupid humans." Clark said slowly, "So 15 years ago, I have suppressed the entire earth. Humanity should thank me. In the past 15 years, many people who would have died in various wars have been able to come home alive. Even if it was built to exploit their possibilities, they still live .If you, wouldn't you thank me?"

"I don't know," said Celia. "I'd probably rather have the harsh truth than be shackled in a protective shield."

Clark's brows never let go.

For 15 years, he was like a well-functioning OCD machine, stopping all conflicts and possible wars.He shares the Earth with other superheroes because they have the same purpose even if they don't have the same personality.Because what he wants is the 'peace' that the earth will always remain in his mind, not rule.He has almost never been to an alien planet in these years, like a lion circling his territory.

Celia is like a meteor from outside, falling from the sky. The free breath of the infinite universe on her body makes Clark feel a long-lost feeling. Compared with the entire peacefully operating earth, her thoughts and existence are too small. It's like heresy.

But Superman hasn't figured out how to do it yet.On the way here, he thought about expelling Celia and Proxima Centauri from the earth, thought about letting Bruce handle the matter, and also wanted to kill him.Most importantly, how did she succeed in sneak attack by herself?

Clark couldn't see through this alien girl, she seemed to understand everything, and she didn't seem to understand anything.

The two had just discussed some not-so-friendly personal ideas, Xilia seemed to feel nothing, she leaned back on the chair, yawned, and muttered, "Do you really have nothing to eat here? What do you do if you are usually hungry, go out and grab a handful of snow to eat?"

Superman still didn't answer, he held out his hand, and a projection screen appeared in the sky, the kind made by aliens.He clicks on the alien language keyboard and finally an image appears.

"Have you ever seen this sight?"

Celia blinked her eyes. What she saw was a picture of the stars in the universe, but the thousands of stars were a little dim. Only one star in the lower left corner and two stars on the right emitted green, blue and white colors. The light is like three dazzling rice grains mixed in the sea of ​​millet grains.

Celia swallowed, she felt really hungry.
