On Earth, ordinary people feel differently about each superhero.Generally speaking, normal people and normal mutants are in awe of superheroes because they control the earth.But in this awe there is a difference.

For example, citizens living in the superhuman city are willing to eat next to the Avengers Building, waiting to see the white Iron Man who occasionally flies over the building.Every day, many fighter planes stop or take off on the roof of the Avengers Building. Manhattanites like to guess whether those fighter planes will carry the Avengers when they have nothing to do.In general, their awe of the Avengers, especially the superhumans, is tinged with longing.Many of them dream of joining the Avengers, because joining the array of superheroes can be regarded as a successful counterattack from ordinary people.

However, the people on earth feel nothing but fear for Superman besides awe.Although Superman has hardly appeared in public in the past 15 years since the last big opening, and every time he appears, it must be accompanied by news that he has solved some doomsday-level horror villains.His terrifying strength has deepened in the minds of the people time and time again, so almost everyone is afraid of him.

Some people will want to watch Iron Man fly through the sky, but absolutely no one wants to go to the North Pole to go wild and watch Superman go out by the way.Not to mention going to the North Pole, even the surrounding areas close to the North Pole, except for the locals, there are basically no outsiders who want to come.

Therefore, the female bartender immediately became interested when she saw Clark, who had an American accent and appearance, and Celia, who was not a local at first sight.

"So, what are you guys doing here?" she asked.

"None of your business." Clark said indifferently.

"You're really vigilant." The female bartender didn't care. She shrugged her shoulders and said with a light smile, "Only a vigilant person like you can live a better life in this world."

While the two were talking hot and cold, Xilia was concentrating on drinking, and she had always maintained incomparable concentration in front of the food.

As an alien, Celia has already used her excellent learning ability, and can basically understand what the other party is saying without relying on a translator.Of course, the result of mixing with a group of Americans is that she can only understand the standard American accent, and the earth language she speaks is not standard, more like coming from a small country.

In short, the accent of the female bartender is very serious, and Celia needs to be very attentive to understand what she is saying.Anyway, the woman was talking to Clark, and she was willing to drink slowly without being disturbed.

"Have another glass." Celia returned the empty glass to her.

Clark thought about it, the kind of wine that was specially prepared for Kryptonians and aliens, Celia got drunk after drinking two large barrels, and could talk nonsense with people, this kind of ordinary beer should be more difficult to get drunk, so he It did not stop.

"Wow, your little girlfriend has a good drinker." The female bartender said in surprise.

Celia didn't listen carefully to what the female bartender said, and was waiting for her to serve the drink, and Clark didn't speak out to refute.He interpreted his silence as 'speak less with strangers, just perfunctory'.

"Drink slowly." When Celia took the second glass of wine, Clark bowed his head and said to her, "You should learn to taste food and wine slowly, but it will taste much better than swallowing them whole. .”

"You already know my secret. I'm very slow to respond to feelings. Whether it's love or hate, or anger, I can hardly feel it." Celia said, "So, eating will It is rare for me to have a very comfortable feeling, so I can't help but eat more... If I eat slowly, I think I may not feel it."

Xilia had never felt this way before, so she didn't know how to describe the feeling after eating delicious food. It was warm, like basking in the sun, and also had a very comfortable feeling, as if she had It was a piece of ice, but the internal organs and limbs gradually warmed up.

Celia was originally just explaining to Clark why she had a big appetite. She looked up to drink and missed Superman's complicated eyes.

Yes, now she can make a man with a rich imagination imagine a tragic drama just by saying a word casually.

Since Superman went to Thanos's starship, in his eyes, Celia's past has become more and more pitiful. He used to be annoyed by the noise of Celia when she first came, but now he thinks it is Celia finally opened her heart after long-term depression. When he thought of how he always hung up on her before, he felt that he was too much.

Now Celia said that eating so much food is the only way for her to feel the world and her feelings, and Clark felt that his talking too much was too much.He couldn't control his brain to add tragic drama to Xilia's madness!

Could this be the aftereffect of not being in contact with people for many years?

After being silent for a while, Clark said, "Let's go shopping in a while, I have to buy some clothes for you, you are a little too big now."

"Oh." Celia has almost no material needs. When Clark said this, she nodded to show that she knew.

The two sat for a while, and Superman couldn't live anymore.He felt that he should call Bruce and let him know about his going to town.Also, Clark needs Bruce to send some money to his phone.

"You sit here and drink, I'll go out and call Bruce." Clark said, with the lessons learned from the last time in Wayne Manor, he added in detail, "You are not allowed to get off this stool, and you can't take your hands off the bar, okay ?"

"Okay," Celia said.

Clark stood up, and Celia suddenly noticed that Clark was tall and strong. When he sat beside her, he always gave her a sense of solidity against a wall, as if it was the same in the North Pole and everywhere.But after Clark stood up, Celia was suddenly surrounded by chatter and noise from all directions. Only then did Celia realize that this was the first time in her life that she was among a bunch of aliens.

"How long will it take you to come back?" Silia asked bewilderedly.

"10 minutes." Clark saw Celia's slight panic, his mouth hooked, he bent down, and whispered in Celia's ear, "Don't be afraid, with your strength, the whole town is not you opponent."

Humans: ... Superman, you have changed!It even started to make fun of people on earth T_T!

Celia lowered her head, she stretched out her hand and gently tugged at Superman's sleeve.

"Then you have to come back soon." She whispered.

Maternal solo and single straight man Clark took a deep breath, as if his heart had been scratched by a kitten's paw.

"Good," he said.

When Clark walked out of the bar, Celia's gaze disappeared at the door following his figure, and then she took it back.

She picked up the bar and took another sip. The slightly drunk humans behind her were laughing and talking. They spoke so fast that it was impossible for Silia, who didn't have a translator, to distinguish them. noise.

After she has gotten used to living in a "cage" in a spaceship or building, the current Silia will feel that the outside world is too big and scary.She has never been able to understand Gamora's longing for freedom. The universe is so empty, is it really that good compared to a spaceship?

Xilia sat in front of the bar, and she seemed to have come to the dream scene again. She was like a small boat, floating in an unfamiliar ocean current.She felt empty in her heart, but she didn't feel this way when she was with Clark before.

Heck, why hasn't Clark come back yet?

She had just thought of this, but she was taken aback again - did she become dependent on Superman?It's too scary, drink a sip of wine quickly to suppress the shock.

Even when she was with Gamora, although Celia was very dependent on her, she never thought of being separated from her all the time.This kind of thinking would kill the two of them, and Celia knew that she had to take on the part of her responsibility and could not evade it.According to the past philosophy, she should let herself quickly and forcibly adapt to the new environment now, instead of thinking about superman!

No no no, this is a bad habit.Celia thought, it was impossible for her to stay on the earth forever... Although she hadn't decided to find Gamora in the future or return to Thanos.In fact, she didn't know whether she should go back to Thanos or not. She was always the weakest one under his command, and the others were always dissatisfied with it. Moreover, Thanos abandoned her that day, maybe he intended to throw her away. Get off her.She should listen to her father, and if Thanos doesn't want her, it doesn't seem like she should go back.

It's just that Silia knows that the earth will not always be peaceful. Except for the missing soul gem and the space gem in Asgard, all the infinity stones are on the earth, whether it is Thanos or other bad guys in the universe. Let's play the idea of ​​​​the earth again.

If she wants to return to Thanos, she has to get rid of Proxima Centauri first, which is really troublesome.Celia rested her chin in thought.

Just as she was thinking about the big things in her future life, she felt that someone sat down on her left and right.Definitely not Superman, because every time Superman approaches her, Celia can feel Clark's unique aura and smell - that is a kind of thorough coldness of Arctic ice dripping water, and a faint fragrance of leaves in the rain .

Celia was holding the cup, and felt that the two of them rushed towards her together.Celia opened her eyes and looked left and right, and she saw that the two were young, in their early twenties, with flushed faces and worn-out trademark hats.

"Wow, outsider?" A young man said, "Wenna, why didn't you tell us that there are tourists today?"

"It's useless to tell you." The bartender named Wen Na raised her head not far away, wondering if her accent became worse because of chatting with locals.She smiled and said, "This girl already has a boyfriend, and I just took a look at him. He is very strong. You two bad guys better not think about it."

"So what if you have a boyfriend? We also have to be a landlord." The young man who took up Superman's position smiled. He looked at Xilia and stretched out his hand, "Are you here for a tour? I I invite you to have a drink, this place is so far away, and there is no airport, so I can only use a car, I guess it must be very difficult for you to come here?"

Celia didn't know what the young man meant by reaching out, she blinked and looked at him suspiciously.

"Liam, don't just gossip when you come up, be careful that people are afraid of you." The young man on the other side said.He raised his head and looked at Celia, "Where are you from? Oh—why are you drinking beer? It's such a waste, haven't you tried our town's special wine? Wenna, get her a drink quickly. "

Are all people on earth so enthusiastic?Celia's eyes widened. The female bartender came to her and refilled her glass of wine with a smile.

"As I said, there are too few strangers here, so they are very enthusiastic, forgive me." She said, "But here are basically simple and good children, at least much better than the young people in big cities gone."

"I think that big cities like Toronto and Ottawa can't keep up with us here." The young man named Liam also took wine, he said, "Those big cities are tightly guarded, you can imagine the different Do you need a permit to pass between areas? There are five or six detectors and robots on the street and in the sky on one road, it’s too depressing, it’s better here, we only have two robot police in the whole town.”

"That's right, ordinary humans and super humans should be divided into separate areas. Are they all zoo animals?" Another youth said.

"Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, you two bastards." Wen Na said, "You talk too much about this kind of complaint, if it is heard by the detector, it will affect your credit record."

"Okay." The young man shrugged his shoulders, took a sip, and looked at Xilia again, "How is it, is it good?"

Xilia also took a sip of this local specialty wine.To be honest, the most delicious wine she had ever drank was the extraterrestrial special edition in the underground of Wayne Manor, but she was not used to smearing people, so she nodded.

"She's really shy, she doesn't like to talk, she's different from our girls here." Liam said with a smile, "I always think our girls here are too bold."

"Hurry up, both of you." Wen Na said helplessly, "Her boyfriend will be back in a while."

"Isn't it okay to chat casually?" The young man looked at Xilia, "Are you from Europe? Your country is so small, how do you divide your living areas?"

"I guess the developed areas must be for superhumans, and the ordinary areas for humans." Liam snorted softly.

"Stop whining and complaining to the guests!" Wen Na said, "Don't always attribute your incompetence to the division of regions. Even if there is no division, you won't be able to make a difference with your willpower."

"Wen Na, your file credit score must be very high." Another young man was not angry and said with a smile.

"I just really think life is good now." Wen Na said helplessly, "My mother told me that when she was young, there were always wars on the earth. Humans fought against humans, humans fought against mutants." , human beings fight against aliens, robots... Now the entire earth has maintained peace for 15 years, which is unprecedented in human history, and this is a great thing."

"That's natural. If you catch all the wild animals in the zoo and isolate them with tags, the animal world will also be peaceful, and there will be no situation where the weak can prey on the strong. Lions and antelopes can get along happily through the glass." Leah Tom laughed, "But if this is correct, why do we release wild animals that we have accidentally captured back into the wild, but lock ourselves in cages and thank the breeders? In this world, animals are more alive than animals. Human freedom."

"You just don't think it's a big deal!" The female bartender was too busy, so she snorted at them and went to other places to pour drinks.

Seeing her ignore them, the two young men looked at Celia again.

"Lovely lady, just for the sake of having you a drink, tell me, what do you think?" Liam said.

Celia sipped her wine, she raised her head and thought for a while.

"Your Earth is indeed very safe, but it is also very closed." She said, "But things in the world can't be both. It's just..."

"Just what?"

Xilia pressed her chin, and she said seriously, "Without the consumption of war, your human population will be overpopulated, which will add a burden to the universe. If the human population can be consumed by half, then this place is indeed a beautiful place. The place."

Two young people: ...

Why at that moment, they suddenly felt the cold wind blowing on their backs?

Celia: Huh, this is her fragile villain's last struggle!

"Then do you like this kind of world?" the young man asked again.

What a joke, they feel that the earth is not free, but Xilia grew up on a more enclosed spaceship, and she is used to being controlled by others.

Celia nodded. At this moment, Liam realized that there was something wrong with Celia. The firewood in the hotel was so hot that everyone took off their coats when they came in, but Celia was still wrapped so tightly. So tight, he didn't even take off his scarf.Xilia had small bones and a small head, but when she nodded like this, half of her small face was almost buried by the scarf.

"Aren't you - aren't you hot?" The young man couldn't help pointing to her scarf with his finger.

Unexpectedly, the moment he just stretched out his hand, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.That huge force even made Liam think of the bite force of a beast, as hard as a rock.He raised his head and met Superman's gloomy gaze behind the frame.

"What are you doing?" he said coldly.

After disguising, Clark seemed to be as ordinary as other Americans, but at that moment, a cold sweat broke out on the young man's back.

"me……"

"They are nice people, buy me a drink." Celia said obediently.

Clark looked at her and the wine in her hand, looking helpless again.

How could he have forgotten that she was so old and had no common sense of human life... How could she just drink what others bought?Especially things from strange men, let alone drink casually.

Superman glanced at the two young men, and he didn't seem to be a bad person, so he let go of his hand and said to Celia, "Let's go."

Celia nodded, she drank the rest of the wine in one gulp, then stood up.This time, Superman reached out his hand very actively.It's just that a man who has been single for a long time seems to be more nervous than a normal man. A normal man stretches out his hand and waits for the woman to hold it. Superman directly skips this step. He directly holds Celia's hand and takes her outside. go.

"What a stingy man." When they were about to go out, Superman heard the young man mutter, "It's just a chat, is there a need for such a aggressive demonstration?"

Superman: ...Forget it, he hasn't been the big brother for many years, and he doesn't care about like a child!

The two walked into the icy and snowy street again. Xilia drank wine and was blown by light snow, feeling very comfortable.

"What are we going to do?" she asked.

"Buy you two clothes that fit," Clark said. "I'm not good at reading these, and I guess you are too. I wanted to call Bruce, but he just didn't want to come except for money."

Bruce: ... Keke, who wants to watch the two of you show your love in a cold world?

"I will." Celia said firmly, "Gamora bought clothes for me before, you have to trust my vision."

...Clark really didn't quite believe it.

A distorted aesthetic who doesn't think he is handsome, how can he choose clothes with the correct aesthetic.He absolutely does not believe it!

The two continued to walk forward, and Celia looked at Clark again.

"What did you do just now? Did you just ask Bruce to send you money?"

"I originally wanted to buy a house here first, so that you can experience the life of ordinary people." Clark said, "So I just went around here."

Celia was very clever enough to sense that Clark still hadn't said a word.

"And then?" she said.

"..." Then, without paying attention, he saw Xilia being accosted by a local boy!This town is so small, don't you see those two brats every day when you live here?

"Then I thought this place was just too remote," Clark said. "America is better, right?"

Celia looked at Superman suspiciously, always feeling that there was something tricky about it.

Superman straightened his back, pretended not to see the look, and cleared his throat.

"Would you like to visit the place where I grew up?" he said.
