When the Super British Ruled the Earth[British and American]

Among the many superheroes, Bruce, who has the closest relationship with Clark, was the first to discover the difference between Superman and the past.

First of all, although Superman still always looks cold, his aura and atmosphere are not as cold as before.Bruce could always sense that he was in a good mood.

The second, and most significant, change — after a full 15 years, it seems like Superman is finally about to make a change, freeing himself from the ascetic life he's been living for the past few years.In the past, Superman has been relying on the power given by the yellow sun to suppress all his desires as much as possible.

For 15 years, he never went to bed, kept little sleep, and rarely even ate.Bruce knew that the sun could give him energy, but it was definitely not enough for him to live comfortably like an ordinary person even if he didn't eat, drink or sleep less, which was absolutely impossible.The energy given to Superman by the sun can only keep his body functioning normally.

Superman is more robotic than a robot. He does not play, eat, drink, or rest. Tomorrow, he will only circle around his lonely fortress and the earth, dedicating 24 hours to the earth—Bruce feels tired when he looks at it.

So Bruce is very grateful for Celia's presence.

Superman was very helpless to the fearless Celia, since this alien girl was found to be of Kryptonian blood, he was even more caught off guard.Under Celia's enthusiasm and liveliness, it seems that Clark is also changing himself a little bit.

Bruce always personally delivered ingredients to Superman on a regular basis, and in the past 15 years, he has barely touched the food, and it ended up wasting.But I don't know when, Superman didn't resist like in the past.

He's starting to get back on his diet, which is a great start.

Bruce doesn't want Clark to be Superman all the time, he wants him to be Clark Kent, or Kal-El, whichever is fine, at least not to be Superman for 24 hours, not to mention that Clark has squeezed too much of his Superman identity .

The current situation seems to be a good thing: as long as Celia is around, Clark can't be that cold, machine-like self-disciplined Superman.

Celia didn't understand how important her negligible influence on Clark was. Anyway, Bruce was very happy. This time, in addition to sending ingredients to Clark at the North Pole every month, he also went to the comprehensive base to find Celia every week. And brought her many gourmet specialties.

"You're a blatant bribe." Watching him come to the complex more and more frequently, Tony said, "What the hell are you selling in your stomach, little bat?"

"I have a bold idea." Bruce leaned on the bar, and he said with a smile, "Do you think Celia and Clark are a good match?"

Tony looks at him, and Bruce just looks sideways at Tony.

"Coincidentally." Tony said, "I was still thinking about this... If Superman can have a family, it may help stabilize his spirit."

"I didn't expect that we would still want to go together." Bruce laughed.

"only……"

"But what?"

Tony pondered for a while, "Do you think that little alien monster would understand these feelings?"

This sentence made Bruce ponder.Yes, women are unpredictable enough, let alone alien women.Moreover, it is a person who grew up in that kind of cruel environment.Think about Thanos, Celia adores him both in and out of words, but she never wants to return to Thanos, nor does she feel that he is defeated, so she wants revenge.Proxima Centauri are far more emotional than her.

"It doesn't matter." Bruce said, "We don't care about the two aliens."

The two sat drinking at the high-level bar of the complex. Bruce put down his glass and looked at Tony.Tony was casually pouring wine into his glass.

"Why have you been here lately?" Bruce said, "Haven't you been to the Avengers base lately?"

"Don't mention it. Isn't it almost July? It's Steve Rogers' birthday." Tony frowned slightly, "My father is in a bad mood every year at this time, I have to avoid it."

This is a rare scene. The only people in the world who can make Iron Man frown are his parents.

They announced to the world 15 years ago that Steve was dead, but in fact he was still frozen in sleep in Hydra's underground base.In fact, the safer approach seems to be to kill Steve directly, because Steve's ability and charisma are really outstanding, which is a hidden danger.It's just that the Superheroes are not so ruthless, including Superman.Steve is not a bad person, his original intention is to protect the motherland, different ideals are not a serious crime, that's why he has been frozen.

Of course, this way of maintaining life is almost the same as death.

This matter should be kept secret, no one knows except Chaoying.It's a pity that Tony is so good and his father Howard is also very smart.He'd learned about it 15 years ago, when things weren't settling down, and for years Howard had hoped Tony would let Steve go.As a result, the relationship between the father and son had been frozen for many years, and it was not until a few years ago that it gradually improved. No one mentioned this matter, but as soon as Steve's birthday came, Howard would make a fuss about setting Steve free again. things come.

Thankfully, Howard didn't know that Steve was frozen in Hydra base, so he only went to the Avengers base to find Tony.

The two were talking when Tony's phone rang—it was Howard.

Tony's brain hurts now whenever he sees his dad's name, and he just tosses it aside.

"Jarvis, pick it up for me, just say I'm out of the country and there is no signal."

After speaking, he poured another glass of wine and drank the whole glass.

"It's okay, just wait until August." Bruce said sympathetically, "Bucky is in the Hydra base?"

Tony nodded.

The two continued to drink, and after a while, Jarvis' voice rang in Tony's ears.

"Sir, incident..." Jarvis said, "Old Mr. Stark has left the Avengers base."

"Isn't that nice," Tony said casually.

"He didn't go home, but went to the Hydra base." Jarvis said, "I suspect he might have guessed that Steve was frozen in the Hydra base."

Tony's head hurt even more.

He bid farewell to Bruce briefly, and the silver armor covered his body like mercury, and Tony flew towards Hydra's base.

He was very worried that Howard and James would have a dispute. He heard that as early as World War II, Howard was very disapproving of Steve's behavior of helping Bucky suppress Hydra into his hands.Howard's worry was very reasonable. At that time, the shadow of World War II had not disappeared. Steve was originally an American war hero. At that time, Hydra's background was too dirty.

And now, if Howard knew that Bucky would 'revenge' to freeze Steve, he could easily do something drastic.

Tony asked Jarvis to contact James, but he couldn't get in touch, so he could only fly towards the destination faster.

Finally, the Hydra base was right in front of us, and Tony landed directly in the area of ​​the Hydra base—they both had sufficient authority in each other's bases, which saved a lot of verification trouble.

As soon as Tony landed, he walked towards the base headquarters building. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the lobby, he saw Howard and Bucky walking outside side by side.Tony was taken aback, Howard looked a little pale and gloomy, but emotionally stable, while Bucky was as gentle as ever.

"You two..." Tony walked up, and he looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"You came fast enough." Howard snorted softly, "Is it because you are afraid that I will have a dispute with Sergeant Barnes?"

"This title is memorable." James smiled softly, "Okay, Howard, you should be satisfied now. You are so old, you should enjoy life instead of worrying about trivial matters on earth."

As a loyal follower of Steve, Howard's faith is naturally the same as Steve's, which is why he can't let go of it.

"I don't like this world now!" Howard snorted softly.

Howard is over a hundred years old this year, and he is still in good health, which is the result of the advancement of technology and medical care.Tony hated the sky, but he had nothing to do with his father.

"Okay, old man, go home quickly." Tony sighed, "I'll drive you home."

Howard didn't speak, he took a few steps forward, then turned his head to look at Bucky.

"We've known each other for more than half a century, Sergeant Barnes..." he said, "Can you swear that what you just said to me was true?"

"Of course it's true," Bucky said calmly.

Howard finished listening, his eyebrows were still slightly frowned, but he didn't bother, he turned his head and walked towards the door.

"What did you two say?" Tony asked after Howard walked out the automatic door.

Bucky smiled.

"Don't ask what adults say."

Tony:  …

Over the years, he has been used to treating James as his own peer, and only at this time does it remind him that Bucky and Steve are from the previous generation just like his father.

After Tony left with Howard, Bucky let out a long sigh of relief.

Behind him, Rumlow slowly walked over.

"What are you going to do this year?" Rumlow asked.

Bucky turned around.

"Buy me a box of snack packs online," he said. "It's Steve's birthday, and I'm going to celebrate it."

Rumlow was a little speechless, why did he feel like Bucky wanted to eat this birthday present himself.

……

At the same time, in the North Pole, in the Fortress of Solitude, everything is still so quiet.The white land and ice and snow of the Arctic also seem to isolate all external turmoil.

Superman was alone in the fort, and he used to sit in front of the monitor all day long.But now it is different.He cooks some simple food in the small but exquisite kitchen on the second floor of the Fortress of Solitude.

He used to be an ordinary boy with MAX life skills. His adoptive mother on earth taught him a lot of ways to make food, but it was useless for 15 years, and now it is a bit rusty.He used to cook some complicated dishes, but now he can only start from scratch again.

He warmed up two slices of bread, fried an egg and bacon, and served it with milk.It was a very simple meal, but Bruce would still be very happy if he knew about it.At least Clark is starting to get back into a little bit of normal human habit again.

Superman returned to the surveillance screen with a simple sandwich in his hand, watching intently while eating.This meal, which even ordinary girls can't get enough of, is his dinner.

Originally, there was a time difference between the North Pole and New York, USA, but Clark didn't live around his biological clock like ordinary people, so when he was in the North Pole, the time he set was still the same as in the metropolis.

In this way, in the past, just after Clark had breakfast, lunch and dinner, Celia would call and harass him in less than 10 minutes, telling him what good food she ate today-Jarvis's cooking skills and The upper-limit storage brain finally came into play. He seemed to want to cook all the delicacies on earth for Celia, so Celia always had a lot of new discoveries to share with Superman with great interest.

Clark felt that Jarvis's behavior was very clever. While the machine butler was cooking, he told Celia about the country and common sense related to food. During the two phone calls, Clark clearly felt that Celia seemed to be interested in Earth is getting to know more and more.

But today is a bit strange.

Superman had already finished his dinner, and another half hour passed, and his phone didn't ring.

He sometimes felt that Xilia was too noisy, and he used to resist Xilia always calling him.But now, he has gotten used to it, and when Celia didn't hit, Superman seemed to have one more thing to do, and his heart was suspended in mid-air.He stared at the screen in a daze, but his attention was on the mobile phone and the phone... But an hour passed, and he still didn't think about all the communication devices.

Superman began to feel a little anxious for some reason.He listened carefully to Xilia's heartbeat. Xilia was still staying in the complex without abnormality.

So why not call him?

By accident, Clark took out his cell phone.One second before he was about to broadcast the phone number, he finally came back to his senses and closed the phone again.

Even if he wanted to call the comprehensive base, what would he say?Is it possible to let other people know that he is struggling with this little thing?If this call is made, all superheroes will know that he cares too much about this matter tomorrow, so what is it like.

Thinking of this, Clark leaned back on the chair and stared at the screen heavily.

After some time, the reminder bell on the little robot rang—this was to remind him that it was time to go to outer space to inspect the earth again.

It turned out that another six hours had passed.

Superman stood up and walked outside the Fortress of Solitude.

He comes outside the earth, where distance and time seem to lose all meaning in space.Clark flew around the earth as usual, and it was as easy for him to go around the earth as a walk in the back garden.

On the earth, some places are daytime and some places are night, some places are hot and scorching, and some places are cooled by sea breeze.But regardless of the region and season of the earth, regardless of the differences between countries, they have maintained calm under their strong global peace policy.

Even so, Superman still has to habitually fly around the earth a few more times, stopping and observing on different sides of the earth.

But no matter how he changed his location, no matter where he was on the earth, whether he could see the North American continent in the distance, the peaceful heartbeat still lingered in his ears, and Clark couldn't dispel the sound even though he tried his best to concentrate.

After a while, Clark closed his eyes and let out a soft breath.

Forget it.

Why compete with yourself?

After the daily inspection, Clark flew directly to the suburbs of New York.

It's not easy to call, just go and have a look, it's okay, right?

When Superman landed on the grass of the complex, Jarvis happened to be standing at the door, looking into the distance.

Will AI see landscapes too?Clark thought.

Jarvis withdrew his gaze, and when he saw Clark, he showed a smile. It seemed that he was not surprised at all, why Clark, who had almost no contact with other Chaoying in the past, came here several times this month.

"Mr. Kent." Jarvis greeted politely, "This year is really a lively year. The frequency of everyone coming to the comprehensive base has greatly increased, making this place much more lively."

Clark nodded slightly as a compliment, and he walked towards the base, with Jarvis following behind him.

It was getting closer, and Clark could distinguish the location of the details, and the sound of Celia's heartbeat was not on the floor where she usually stayed.

"Where did everyone go?" He asked nonchalantly.

"Mr. Barnes, Dr. Banner, and Mister are in a meeting." Jarvis said, "It seems that Doctor Strange is here too... As for Celia, she just completed a new round of medical examination."

"The physical examination takes so long?" Xilia hadn't contacted him for seven hours from dinner to now.

Jarvis was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't expect Clark to ask such a question.But soon, he smiled knowingly.

"It always takes some time to analyze and compare the data, not to mention that Celia is an alien, except for the Kryptonian blood, the other half is unknown." Jarvis said, "If you want, you can go to the conference hall Find someone else."

As soon as Clark heard Jarvis say this, he understood that this meeting might have something to do with Celia.

Clark followed Jarvis until he reached the conference room.

Jarvis must have had Tony's permission to invite him over, so the few people in the room were not surprised to see him.

"Come on, Clark, sit here." Tony is unlikely to invite Superman, Dr. Banner and Clark are not familiar, and Strange is not the owner of this complex, so Bucky smiled and greeted.

"I heard that you are in a meeting, did I disturb you?" Clark asked.

"Don't bother." Dr. Banner said, "After all, Celia is half of your compatriots, and you have the right to know."

"Know what?" Clark asked.

Several superheroes looked at each other, and Dr. Banner looked at Tony, asking for his opinion.And Tony looked at Doctor Strange.

"Strange, is the discovery we just showed you correct?" Tony asked.

Strange leaned back on the chair, put his left fist on the table, and rubbed his thumb against the table, as if he was debating whether to give a spoiler or not.After a while, Doctor Strange nodded helplessly.

"Since we are sure that what we found is true, we will naturally tell you." Tony turned his head and looked at Clark.

I don't know if this is not Clark's hallucination, but he feels that Tony doesn't seem to be as hostile to him as before, and now Tony's tone and attitude have eased a lot.

"What the hell is it?" Clark frowned.

The Chaoying were silent for a while, as if they were thinking about how to explain this matter.Tony said, "About Celia... She is indeed different from other aliens, at least she is very likable, but she still looks a little abnormal, doesn't she? Immediately accepted that Thanos was defeated and escaped, and he had a new identity as a prisoner. Normal people should think of Proxima Centauri as full of revenge and going back."

"There are many other things. We used to think that it was caused by Xilia's completely different worldview, but now it seems that it is not only that." Bucky said, "The bracelet on Xilia's hand was originally used for We capture her heartbeat and blood pressure and things like that, but Dr. Banner has recently discovered that something isn't quite right."

"Why do you say that?" Superman asked.

"Because we found that Celia's blood pressure and heartbeat are stable no matter what time it is. Except for a few days ago when she was drunk in Wayne Manor." Dr. Banner said solemnly, "There are other things After a careful analysis, in short, we have come to a conclusion...she has some emotional problems and obstacles. Do you know what this means?"

Superman frowned, he still didn't understand what they were trying to say.

"Silia doesn't have the normal emotional perception of people on Earth or aliens, and her emotions are missing." Tony said flatly, "We suspect that all her performances on the Thanos spacecraft and after coming to Earth And behavior is a kind of performance that imitates others and has been carefully considered. Because of the lack of emotion, it is difficult for her to feel pain or sadness. She will use the calmest thinking to analyze and think about how she can survive. She has no real feelings. "

"Also, we suspect that she has a neurological disorder similar to analgesia, and she has extremely low perception of pain." Dr. Banner said.He looked at Strange, "Of course, all our guesses may be biased because of her alien identity, Dr. Strange, you should be the one who knows the most about all this. Excuse me, we Are all your guesses correct?"

Doctor Strange frowned slightly, and he nodded.

"The results of your research are all correct." He said, "There is nothing wrong with it, and I don't need to hide it."

"Why does she care so much about Gamora if she's really emotionally deficient?" Bucky said.

Before the others could speak, they heard the door being opened and closed.

Superman left the conference room.
