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

After leaving the conference room, listening to the direction of the heartbeat, Clark quickly confirmed Helia's location.

He followed the direction of Xilia's heartbeat, and after a while, he came to the lounge next to the laboratory.As soon as the door was opened, Xilia was indeed inside. She was lying on the bed wrapped in a quilt as if she had just woken up. When she heard the sound, she rubbed her eyes in a daze.

"...Clark?" she asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?"

Superman didn't say a word, he came over, bent down to pick up Celia, turned and left.

Celia: Wait, what's going on 0_0? ?

Before she could react, the two had already come outside, and in the blink of an eye, they were in the sky, and the breeze entwined her hair.Celia finally understood that Clark's previous speed was simply drizzle, and he had completed such a continuous change of venues in a few breaths.

In the integrated base, Jarvis looked at Tony.

"Sir, Superman took Celia away."

Tony frowned, and he shook his hand.

"Just take it with you." He said, "It's also his home... his planet."

On this side, the silent Clark had already taken Celia to the North Pole.Both of them have strong physiques, and Clark was not in the mood this time, so he flew faster than when he was carrying her in the past.

"Why don't you talk?" Celia asked.

But no matter what Superman ignored her, Celia stopped talking.She yawned again, staring blankly at the town passing quickly below her.

Clark's mind was still immersed in what the other superheroes had just said.They said a lot, but to put it bluntly, they think that Xilia has no "heart", and her actions and everything are all figured out from the people around her in order to survive these years.

If Xilia has no feelings, it seems that all the doubts about Xilia in the past have been easily resolved.

They once wondered why Celia accepted the fact that Thanos was defeated so easily, because she is not full of hatred like Proxima, because she has no emotions.Thinking about it this way, the person who got the true biography of Thanos the most may be Xilia.It is precisely because she has no emotion that she can derive impersonal experience in the cruel existence, and she really believes that the jungle is right.

Superman recalled some of what Celia had said to him at that time, and of course he didn't think there was anything wrong. Now that he thought about it, he realized that her problems were different from others.

Celia told him that Gamora loved her, but she couldn't give Gamora what she wanted, so she tried her best to fulfill Gamora's wish. Gamora wanted to leave the spaceship, so Celia tried her best help her.

He also suddenly understood why Xilia seemed to be changing all the time, presumably on the spaceship, she was obedient and silent, but on the earth, she was lively and weird.However, Superman still can't forget her occasionally indifferent and calm side.She has as little emotion as she wants to know about her homeworld, just as she does with Thanos.

Thanos chose to abandon her and escape from the earth at that time, but Xilia also chose to abandon Thanos at the same time.

It is precisely because he has no emotions that he is so decisive and makes decisions based on reason.

So, during this period of getting along... Clark couldn't even think about it.When he wanted to distinguish how much of Xilia's expression was true and how much was false, everything seemed to become cruel.

Clark remembered what Celia had said to him that night at Wayne Manor.

【...I think that I might like someone like you very much. 】

So, is that what it means?Because Celia has no feelings, that's why she 'thinks', she 'maybe'?

Superman was so distraught that he didn't know why he was the way he was.

The two soon arrived at the North Pole, and the gate of the Fortress of Solitude seemed to have noticed the irritability that Superman hadn't seen for a long time, and the speed of opening was extremely fast and smooth.

Celia felt that Superman was very strange. He didn't even let her go when he entered the Fortress of Solitude. Did he treat her as a double-team addict?But Celia sensed Superman's bad mood hidden under his expressionless face, so she didn't say anything, just watched him walk around on the first floor-a floor full of weapons depots, monitors and all kinds of things. Messy stuff, no room for extra.

So Superman carried her upstairs.

Even Bruce hadn't been to the second floor of the Fortress of Solitude a few times. Of course, there was no reception room. After looking around, Clark had no choice but to take Celia to the master bedroom, and he stretched out his hand and threw Celia on the bed.

Celia was a little confused. She got up from the bed and looked up at Superman strangely. Superman folded his arms around his chest and stared at her slightly coldly.

"What are you hiding?" he said in a low voice.

"What?" Celia was even more confused.

Seeing that she really didn't understand what happened, Clark pursed his lips and said, "The Avengers said, they found that you don't have normal feelings at all, and your emotions are difficult to fluctuate, so, now this Everything is faked by you."

Clark had thought that Celia would at least resist reality and defend herself a few words.After all, this is a big event, and the secret of her survival from the hands of Thanos to the present has been known.

However, hearing what Clark said, Celia only twitched her brows slightly, and said, "What else did Tony say?"

This made Clark frowned even more.

"They also said that you are insensitive to pain and can barely feel physical pain," he said. "Is everything they say true?"

Celia sat on the bed, she was silent, and after a while, she spoke.

"What they said is true." Celia said, "You humans really shouldn't be underestimated. Even Gamora and Thanos didn't find out, but I was discovered by you after only a few months here secret."

"You—" Superman frowned, "Aren't you going to explain something?"

"What should I explain, do you think I've done something wrong?" Celia said, "I've never lied to you in the past few months. Is it just because I pretended to be a little bit that I did something wrong?" Is it? But I did not harm others, and this is the foundation of my life, is there such an unforgivable crime?"

Clark was stunned by Celia's words for a moment, but the breath was stuck in his throat, unable to rise or fall, and it was so uncomfortable.

Yes, what Xilia said is not wrong. She survived in the dangerous universe by relying on her own observation and observation. There is nothing wrong with it.Clark understands the truth, but why does he still feel bored?

He was angry alone when he heard Celia sigh softly--it was the first time he heard her sigh.

"In fact, many behaviors and habits on earth are different from what I used to know. I have been constantly accepting the way of life you are used to." Celia said, she even smiled slightly, she looked at Clark, "In the past, I might not even understand why you are angry, but after staying with humans for a few months, I probably understand."

"Understand what?" Superman said in a bad tone.

"You're blaming me for hiding this, aren't you? But if in the past, everyone had a secret, and everyone lived for themselves." Celia said, "You know what happens if the secret is known to others I will be killed by others. Especially me, I have no force, and I am incompatible with other brothers and sisters. It is a place where strength is paramount. I live very hard. If you are angry because of my concealment, then I am indeed Should be apologetic—”

Celia paused, and finally she lowered her eyelashes.

"I'm sorry, I'm used to hiding things. Because apart from Gamora, no one else will be angry because of my hiding." She said, "Maybe you are angry with me because you are the same as Gamora. , is sincere to me."

Clark's chest heaved and he frowned, as if a fire was still burning in his chest.But now he is angry with himself.

He was inexplicably angry, and after hearing Xilia's words, his heart ached inexplicably.

He also knew that Celia might be having a difficult time in the past, but he never thought about it, and he didn't care that much, because Celia never said it.

But now, when she narrated her thoughts so calmly, he felt very uncomfortable.I don't know if it's because I was moved by Xilia's mask before, or because of the pain behind her calm tone.

The bed sank and Superman sat on the edge.

"I'm not mad at you," Clark said, "it's just—you used to be so lively and noisy, and you called me every day. I just got used to it, and then I found out that you pretended all this. Can't I be angry? for a while?"

Celia blinked at him.

"This paragraph is not fake." She said, "I really like to make you angry."

"Nonsense." Clark said, "You have no feelings at all. Why would you like to make me angry? It's all an excuse."

"That's really not the case." Celia sighed deeply. "You humans think things are really black and white. I admit that I have some emotional obstacles, but it doesn't mean that there are no problems at all. I just have more normal emotions. People who are full of energy are more rational and calm, and they are not dumb people. Even if they don’t feel it, they can understand what to do more interestingly and want to do more.”

Superman was cold, but his blue eyes looked at Celia, which happened to meet Celia's eyes.

"These words you are saying now may also be deliberately said by you in order to let me accept you." He said dryly, "After all, you are so good at observing words and expressions."

Celia was silent for a moment.

"Otherwise, you approve me a spaceship, and I will leave this place of right and wrong now to prove my innocence?" she suggested.

Superman's eyes widened, and he stared at the innocent-looking Celia.

"You have a good idea." He said, "I will definitely keep you here and catch all your little tails!"

After he finished speaking, he felt that he was digging a hole for himself.

Superman stood up with a stern face, and he paced back and forth in the room.

The more he wanted to see Xilia's true face, not to be deceived, and to control the situation, the more he felt that Xilia, an alien, was really elusive.Hell, he's lived so long, he hasn't encountered anything he can't handle.

After Clark turned around the bedroom a few times, he stopped and looked at Celia suddenly. Celia sat on the bed, still looking at him innocently.

Superman stopped, and he sat in front of Celia, holding Celia's shoulders with both hands.

"Xilia, I want to tell you the truth now, and I hope you don't lie to me." He said in a deep voice, "Even if you don't believe in the inheritance of blood and mother planet, I still assure you that as a Kryptonian The last two people, I will definitely protect you. What about you?"

"What am I?"

"Do you want to stay on Earth?" Clark said, "Tell me the truth, because I don't want you to continue to live with a mask on and watch people's faces. If you feel that we are putting you under such pressure, I can send you A spaceship, let you leave the earth. I can even find a way to send you to find your sister."

What Superman said finally made Celia's face change.She looked at Clark in astonishment, while the man in front of her was staring at her very seriously.

"are you serious?"

"Yes." Clark said, "If you want to leave, I will give you freedom. If you want to stay, then don't lie to yourself and other people's lives in the future-don't you feel tired? I still say that, I will protect you so you don't have to hide yourself."

Seeing Celia lowering her head slowly with a stunned expression, Clark seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.She wouldn't show such an expression before, but now that he saw it, he felt much better.At least, she is sincere, isn't she?

"Think about it," he said.

Superman stood up, intending to leave.But when he just walked to the door, Celia's voice came from behind him.

"I really don't understand..." Silia murmured, "All the people in power on this earth are kind-hearted, including you... You ruled the earth, but you are still so kind. I really don't understand, Why on earth are you kind, fragile, bad people so powerful?"

Superman stopped, and he turned his head to look at Celia on the bed.

"I know this is not in line with the world you have accepted in the past." He said calmly, "But remember, Celia. There are thousands of ways to live in this universe, but we choose to be good people. Kindness It doesn't mean weak, at least... for us. We people used to be kind and weak, so we couldn't protect others, and we couldn't protect ourselves. Now you figure it out, so you see this earth now. Of course, I think I'm not a good person anymore."

Celia is still dazed, Superman has left.

Celia sat on the bed in a daze, she was so confused that she didn't even know when Superman would come back.

Clark stared blankly at her, and seeing her hair messily draped over his shoulders, he couldn't help but reach out and straighten her hair.

"Have you figured it out?" he asked.

Clark didn't know what Celia would say, but with her personality, it was very likely that she would choose to leave the earth. After all, she was used to a wandering life, and the earth might be too depressing for her.

Clark stared at Celia, but his heart was beating a little unsteadily.He felt that he might be a little worried. He didn't quite believe that a girl who had never even got off a spaceship could live well in the universe.

At this moment, he heard Celia sighing slowly again.

"When I was on my father's spaceship, I thought about how to survive. After I came to Earth, I also thought about how to survive." Celia raised her head and looked at Clark, "But now you tell me not to go Worrying about life and death, I only make decisions based on my preferences, but I don’t know how to choose. I don’t seem to have anything I like, and I don’t pursue any lofty ideals, so after the problem of survival is solved, I don’t know what to do. something."

Superman stared at the alien girl with a confused face, he slowly stretched out his hand and stroked the top of her head.

"Then stay here." He said in a deep voice, "You can start to learn not to hide, stop being cautious, and learn to be yourself."

"Are you not worried about me hurting your earth?" Xilia smiled softly.

"As long as you promise me, I will believe you." Superman stared into her eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's start over from this step, shall we?"

Celia froze for a moment, she looked at Clark, while the man was still staring at her deeply.

It was something Celia had never experienced before, and it felt strange.Clark trusted her like Gamora, but it seemed different.

"Why are you doing this?" Celia said, "Do you love me as much as Gamora?"

The somewhat touching atmosphere between the two was almost destroyed by Xilia's words, and Superman looked a little helpless.

"Can you understand what love is?"

Celia shook her head honestly.

"All I know is that Gamora loves me," she added.

"Then do you know why I trust you?" Clark decided to influence Celia step by step, "Because I want to tell you that in addition to hatred and negative emotions from others who don't need reasons, there are also people in this world. Goodwill and trust without reason."

"Isn't it because the two of us are of the same race?" Hippy poured chicken soup and Leah said innocently.

Superman: ...

I can't talk today.

"Want to go out with me?" he said again.

Celia nodded slightly, the two of them completely ignored the stiff situation when they came in, and Clark hugged her.

"I think you should learn how to fly," Clark said. "Did you know that girls on Earth are rarely hugged after the age of six?"

Celia buried her head in Superman's neck, silent, like an ostrich, pretending she didn't hear anything.

Superman could only sigh softly.

Holding Celia in his arms, he lifted off from the Fortress of Solitude, and soon reached the height where the two often traveled.

"I'm leaving the earth, if you feel bad..." Clark stopped halfway, because if Celia felt uncomfortable, he could hear it directly.

Seeing the two flying higher and higher, and the continent of the earth shrinking under their feet, Celia exclaimed and hugged Superman's neck tightly—Clark knew that she was really scared.

"I, I can't do it!" she said, "I almost died of lack of oxygen in space before..."

"It's different now," Clark said.

Before Celia understood the meaning of this sentence, Clark had already continued to lift off.Celia kept her head buried tightly because of fear, until Clark patted her shoulder with his hand.

Celia raised her head and opened her eyes. She looked around and her pupils constricted.

"...God, this... this is impossible..."

Seeing Xilia looked around in disbelief.

"We are now in the middle layer of the earth." Clark said, "of course, we can actually go further up. As long as you are near the earth, as long as there is a sun, it will not hurt you."

While Celia was still in a daze, Clark had already slowly flew up with her. The round earth was under their feet, and the blue sea and white clouds were superimposed, like a blue gem.

"I have always wanted to share with others the feeling of being in space and on the earth, but unfortunately, no matter how advanced human technology is, they cannot personally experience this feeling." Clark said.His eyes reflected the light of the earth, "When you are in the universe, there is extreme silence first. And when you get used to the silence, you can hear some sounds from the universe... far away, like tens of thousands of years It’s as if what happened before has only reached your ears now. Every time I am troubled, I will come to space to find myself.”

Celia looked at Earth too, and Clark looked at her.

"How do you feel?"

"It's beautiful," Celia said.

"I said, Celia, be yourself," Clark said quietly. "I hope you get used to telling the truth to me."

Tell the truth?Xilia seemed to be confused for a while, as if she forgot her true thoughts after saying too many flattering words.

She stared at the earth for a while before slowly opening her mouth to say, "...It's actually quite ordinary. It's no different from the thousands of planets I've seen in the past."

Superman smiled quietly.

"Yes, that's right, very ordinary." He said, "It was just an inconspicuous little planet in the Milky Way. If I grew up on Krypton, maybe I wouldn't even pay attention to it. But, you know what it is Make the earth so important?"

Celia shook her head.

"Because of the people on it." Clark said calmly, "I fell in love with the earth because of the people on the earth, so I covered it with a glass cover and protected it wholeheartedly."

"But your adoptive parents are dead," said Celia.

"My parents are dead, but my hometown is still my hometown." Clark lowered his eyelashes, he said, "You know, I've been thinking recently why I left you, even though you and I have Kryptonian blood, but if In the past, I might let you go for the sake of the earth."

"So why did you keep me?" Celia asked.

Superman was silent for a while.

"My identity as a human makes me unable to give up the earth, so I would rather compress myself and guard the peace of the earth wholeheartedly." He said, "But as Kal-El, as the Kryptonian who never had the chance to live, I think leave you."

Celia seemed a little puzzled, she was not very good at analyzing these trivial feelings.

"I didn't take you in for Kryptonian blood, nor for some messy selfless reason." Superman looked at her, his blue eyes reflecting the quiet light of the earth, "I did it for myself, for my selfish desire."

Superman's azure blue eyes were even more profound under the reflection of the earth. He pursed his thin lips slightly and stared at Celia motionlessly.

Celia leaned back slowly. She is not sensitive to emotions, so she doesn't understand Superman's thoughts.And Superman's godly handsome face didn't do much to her.

But at that moment, for some unknown reason, Xilia's heart, which had been running smoothly, suddenly sprained her ankle and jumped out.

Celia suddenly narrowed her thin pupils, she remained motionless like a frightened cat, and Superman, who had excellent hearing, couldn't keep his tense face, he blinked his eyelashes slightly, and smiled softly.

"It's over, it's over." After being frightened, Xi Liya automatically leaned into his arms, and she murmured, "Am I going to die? I just said that I can't survive in space..."

Superman exudes a pleasant breath from top to bottom.He patted Xilia on the back, and before she could react, he said, "Then you should stay in the North Pole for a while, and I will take a good look for you."
