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

Throughout September, Superman and Batman huddled together at the Justice League headquarters to ponder what to do.

Clark wants to fine-tune today's social policies, and he hopes to be a little more humane while maintaining stability and peace.However, this is really too difficult.

The newly established system in the past 15 years has become a full-scale operating machine. No matter what Bruce and Clark want to change, it will affect the whole body.Obviously, no matter how good and smart Bruce is, he is still struggling to deal with the whole earth.

"This thing is a huge mess. There is no perfect system in the world." Towards the end of the month, Bruce slumped on a chair, and he whimpered hopelessly, "I don't think you should have done more than that." Nosy and unify the earth, now riding a tiger is difficult, right?"

"There's always a way," Clark said.

Superman was indeed tempted by power unknowingly in the previous years, but the arrival of Celia brought all this to an abrupt end.

Even if he doesn't know it himself, many of Superman's past ideas have been released completely from the perspective of superiors.Just like when Thanos and his subordinates destroy planets every time, Celia watches everything from a distance in the starship. She cannot see billions of lives, but can only see planets that seem to have no souls burning to death Naturally, they lack the reverence for life.

If you are too far away from the crowd, too high above other people, you will easily ignore the lives that exist in each one.

Superman was once extremely disappointed with the earth and human beings, but after being with Celia, he began to want to become an ordinary person again, and made him look forward to the future again.

When he returned to the ordinary perspective, he did find many problems and flaws, but it was too difficult to fix them.He and other superheroes created the current order single-handedly, and even a little change will bring the earth back to instability again.

It's really a bit of a feeling of being on a tiger's back.

"By the way, it's the end of September again, and you should attend the banquet in two days." Bruce said.

A week-long banquet is held in Manhattan every year, allowing superheroes, senior officials, and people from various top companies to gather and communicate with each other.In fact, the purpose of this banquet was to allow everyone to have close contact with Bai Chao every year.Considering Superman's intimidating power to ordinary people, the annual gathering and meeting opportunity is also to reassure these elites from all over the world and let them understand that Superman has not become crazy.

It's just that Clark hasn't been to that banquet for two years.Forget about being a superhero, he really doesn't like dealing with those businessmen, reporters and the like.

Seeing Clark frowning, Bruce said with a headache, "If you don't go this year, you will be absent for three years. Those people can see you once a year, you have to at least make them feel at ease, right?"

"Okay." Clark could only accept helplessly.

After returning to their high-rise apartment, Celia also noticed Clark's depression.As soon as he came in, he lay down on the sofa, motionless, and didn't even take off his coat.

"What's wrong?" Celia asked.

Clark sighed deeply, his back heaving.

It seems that not only Xilia gradually developed feelings, but also with him.When a person was in the North Pole before, even if he encountered such an unfavorable thing, Superman would at most frown his eyebrows and let it go.But now, every little thing seems to have become sensitive.

Seeing Clark lying on the sofa and sighing, he didn't speak.Celia put down the game console, she walked over, climbed onto the sofa, and pressed her whole body against the man's broad and firm back, then poked her head over and scratched Clark's ears with her fingers.

Clark turned over, held Celia in his arms, and told her about the banquet.

"You really have a serious social phobia." Celia tutted.

She has learned a lot of new words recently, and various human diseases are one of them.She feels that people on Earth are simply too delicate, and can list all the things she doesn't like to do as diseases.

Clark sighed again.

"I decided to go just for one day," he said, "and then they won't see me for the next two years."

Celia rested on Clark's shoulder, letting the man's fingers gently curl her long hair.

"Can I go?" she asked.

"No." Superman's voice gently refused, "Your identity is too special, we can't let your affairs be exposed."

Presumably, the superheroes took in the intruder's girl, and Superman is still with her... If this matter is exposed, it will definitely cause a storm.

And it is safer for her to hide Xilia's existence.

Celia shrugged her shoulders, but she was actually just asking casually.

"Once September is over, I'll take you to visit the X-Men." Clark kissed the top of her head.

Three days later, the top floor of a high-end business hotel in Manhattan welcomed businessmen, journalists and superheroes from various organizations from all over the world.

The banquet officially started in the dark evening. The guests were all dressed in dresses and suits, talking softly amidst the elegant quartet music. Occasionally, someone would pick up a glass and lean against the floor-to-ceiling windows for a solo drink.

In fact, most of the superheroes couldn't get together at this banquet, because many of them were self-willed and simply ignored the invitation.But businessmen and bosses in various industries come from the most complete, and they need this kind of platform to communicate with other people more than superheroes.

Tonight's banquet, the Avengers sent Natasha, a red-haired woman in a white curvy dress, looking at her charming appearance, no one would believe how dangerous and deadly she was. The X-Men were attended by the blue-skinned Mystique Riven, the Fantastic Four was the Torch's older sister, and Invisible Woman...well, she's not invisible right now.

The three women were chatting and laughing lightly. Other leading men in the industry who wanted to talk to each other were hesitant at the moment, but other superheroes would come up to say hello and chat generously.

The Justice League has different people in attendance every year, and Superman hasn't shown up in two years, so the businessmen and bosses are quietly discussing who will be in attendance tonight.

Meanwhile, in the downstairs room of the ballroom, Clark, once again in a white Superman uniform, stood by the French windows and stared out.

"It's time to go." Just then, a slightly hoarse voice sounded.

Clark turned his head, and he saw Bruce was wearing a Batman uniform, all gray, with only the lower half of his face exposed.Batman walked over to Superman and spread his hands.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing." Clark laughed dumbly, "I just feel a little nostalgic. Do you remember when we first met?"

"of course."

Bruce and Clark are college classmates. They are completely opposite in what they like and are good at, and their identities are also very different-one is the young master of one of the largest groups in the world, and the other is a boy from a small town.Although the two were opposites in many ways, they eventually became friends.Their very different traits became complementary, so even with the occasional fight, they remained on good terms.

But they never told each other their secrets.

After college, Clark stayed in Metropolis while Bruce returned to Gotham.Clark used Kryptonian powers to become a superman to save the citizens. Although Bruce was a mortal, when he was eight years old, his parents were almost killed by a robber, and the two saved their lives after rescue... Less affected Bruce.

Although the never-absent love of his parents made him still sunny, kind, with some fun and simplicity of a rich boy, this may just be his best side.On the other hand, Bruce always dreams of that dark and cold path.

The love of the Waynes allowed him to retain the sunshine of the world, but this incident also made him see the dark side of Gotham.Let him never be able to only see the beautiful side of the world, because there is always a voice in his heart telling him that behind the sun, there is still darkness that cannot be reached.

Ten years later, Batman was born after much deliberation.Batman was born for the night of Gotham, but Superman is working hard for the light of Metropolis.

Even if the two are heroes, their ideas are completely different.Both scoff at the other's existence at first, nearly fight when they first meet as Superman and Batman, and then have to reluctantly cooperate for criminals.When the day came, they solved the crisis together, and quickly guessed each other's identity within one night.

They stood side by side and ushered in a new dawn together.For many years after that, they kept in touch like this.Their relationship from college friends has become closer and they cherish each other.

Later, the earth became more and more turbulent, and the Kent couple died in the war.The enraged Superman no longer hides his strength, and suppresses all wars in one fell swoop.But the world was still in chaos at that time, and Superman disappeared after containing all wars.

One day, an exhausted Clark appeared in front of Bruce, who begged for his help.Bruce hesitated, facing the same dilemma that Steve faced Bucky back then.Bruce saw Clark's powerful strength, and he knew that he would come to him, so he set up an ambush in advance... But in the end, Bruce agreed to Clark.

Only he can understand what it's like to lose a parent.In how many demons, Bruce dreamed that he lost his parents in that alley and was never the same again.

Batman helped Superman stabilize the situation, joined hands with other superheroes with him, and finally established the current order-after the earth has become more and more peaceful, Gotham has also become safe.

From then on, Clark rarely saw Bruce in Batman's costume, unless the Justice League needed to make an appearance in front of outsiders, or deal with danger.

"We haven't stood together like this for a long time." Clark said, "Thinking about it now, I still miss it."

The shadows of two people are reflected on the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows, one black and one white.Batman crossed his arms.

"Have you reached the age where you want to recall the past?" Apart from lowering his voice, he still likes to tease people.

The two walked outside.

"I think you should wear more Batman costumes," Clark said, "or it would be a waste in your cave."

"Batman is the night of Gotham. Gotham doesn't need him right now," Batman said quietly, "but Bruce Wayne is needed."

The two arrived upstairs in the elevator, and before the elevator opened, Batman looked at Superman.

"Ready?" he asked.

Clark nodded.

"Really? Remember, you can't scare them, you can't be cold-faced, and you can't release your low air pressure when you are in a bad mood. We need to let them know that Superman is a normal, human being." Batman said, "Do you understand everything?"

"Understood." Superman said helplessly.

Bruce reached out his hand and clicked the door open button, the elevator door opened slowly in front of the two, and the sound of music, conversation and wine glasses knocking poured in.

When the two bosses of the Justice League walked forward slowly, all the sounds stopped, only the music of the quartet remained.

If it was Bruce Wayne, he would show a handsome smile and say a few words with a glass of wine, which would be enough to heat up the whole scene.But now he is Batman, so everyone only feels that two huge air conditioners are emitting cool air.

No one expected that Superman and Batman would appear here at the same time. The pressure they brought to everyone made it seem like they could neither come up to say hello, nor could they just ignore them and continue chatting.

Of course, most of the more nervous entrepreneurs are ordinary entrepreneurs, and superheroes are much better.After the initial surprise, many familiar superheroes came over and chatted with the two of them.

"Hasn't Diana come back yet?" Black Widow took a glass of wine from the waiter, she shook it gently, and looked at Superman and Batman.

"She hasn't been back in years," Batman said.

"It's a pity, otherwise we would still be able to get together." Ruiwen shrugged her shoulders.

The banquet continued, and when the human merchant bosses discovered that Clark would not directly kill someone with a red hot wire just because he was upset with them, the atmosphere finally became a little more relaxed.No one dared to talk to Superman. When they chatted, their eyes couldn't help but glance at the white Superman.

Human beings are as much in awe of him as they are in curiosity about him.

After a while, the belated young Superheroes also appeared in the auditorium, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, The Flash, Human Torch, and... the three Spidermen of the Parker family also appeared, beside them There are also the two Osborne brothers, Dane and Harry, who came with their father.

"Young people are lively." Bruce said with emotion.

The addition of young people quickly enlivened the originally stalemate banquet.Superman's ears can hear everyone in the room.

He heard Dane Osborne, the second child of the Osborne family, complaining to Garfield Parker of the Spider family.

"...It's fine even if you don't come to my house, you don't go to the Stark Group for an internship. Why do you have to go to an unfamiliar company?"

"Dane, it's because I'm so familiar with you that I don't want to do that." Garfield sighed, "I have such a good relationship with you and Mr. Stark, I always feel like fuck you guys." Corporate internships are like going through the back door.”

This reason eased Dane's attitude, but he whispered again, "But your brother works with my brother, and your brother is an errand trainee at the Stark Group—can't you learn from them? ?”

Garfield scratched his head helplessly.

Superman's ears turned, and he heard the heroines gathering to chat.

"...In the end, I ate half of it and snatched it up." Natasha was just saying something, she said, "Can you imagine, they are all men in their 40s and [-]s, and sometimes they are as annoying as kindergarten students."

"I understand, men are such a headache." Ruiwen agreed, "You all don't know that our X-Men base has to be rebuilt almost every month...the training ground is right here Next to them, but they insist on arguing in the room, I really can't understand their brain circuits."

"Me too, sometimes I feel a headache when I see the three of them arguing." Huo Huo's sister Susan said, "Why is there no superhero organization that is purely female?"

The women laughed happily as they talked.Clark fell silent. Was this why they were looking for Diana?Want her to share what it was like working with a bunch of guys on Justice League?

What a group of terrifying women, they look so beautiful and well-shaped, but in fact, each of them can strangle a man with one hand.

Or his little villain is better.He can act like a baby, is very cute, never picks on him, and is not that scary...Superman thought of Celia's terrifying insight ability and the magical ability that seemed to be specially used to restrain him, and he fell silent.

Forget it, women in this world seem to be scary.

Clark saw Barry and Human Torch walking towards him in uniform, as if to say hello.At the same time, in the infinite earphones in Superman's ears, a warning sound sounded——

……No way!

After almost causing catastrophe by the river because of Lois, Superman did program the system to automatically alert when Lois came within a mile of him, and now, the siren is going off, which means the woman is in the hotel , and will most likely be coming soon.

It seems reasonable for an excellent person like Louise to represent the Planet Daily to interview the top experts... But Clark's sweat is about to come down.

Once or twice count as chance encounters, what happened the third time and the fourth time?If Louise still used the previous two perfumes and was smelled by Celia, Clark could hardly imagine the consequences. He already had the idea of ​​raising funds for Louise to change the perfume.

And, leaving that aside, Clark wondered if Louise had seen his real face the last time.After seeing each other in such a short time, it's hard for her not to see the clue.

If she finds out that he is Superman, then she will know that Superman is dating a girl, which obviously goes against the public's idea that Superman is not in the city... Lois digs something down, and the situation is a bit weird controlled.

Clark didn't want to forcibly demote Louise and send her back to Metropolis just because of this. After all, it's women who climbed up little by little year after year, but he also didn't want to take the risk. Louise was the only one who knew he was in a relationship. Outsiders, this is too dangerous.

Sure enough, across the faces of many people, Clark saw the door of the banquet was pushed open a gap, and Louise and several other reporters walked in.

Superman turned and looked out the window, at the same time Human Torch and Flash walked over.

"Clark, you actually showed up this year." Barry laughed.

The two young people were worried that Superman would be angry because of Celia's affairs, so they came here as soon as they had the opportunity.

Superman turned his face and looked at them. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly thought about it.

"I need your help, Barry," he said.

"Say it!" Both of them were very happy. If Superman wanted to trouble them, it meant that he wasn't angry with them.

"See those reporters? You've seen one of them," Clark said. "Louise Lane, the dark-haired female reporter, we met on the street. I'm afraid time is too short and she will Recognize my identity, so I hope you can help me stop her, don't let her come to trouble me, can you?"

"I know who you're talking about." Barry quickly understood, and he said with a promise, "Leave it all to the two of us!"

Superman hooked the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand and patted the shoulders of the two, and then looked out the window again.

The Flash and the Human Torch looked at each other, they were shocked—did Superman just smile at them just now?God!Isn't this a dream?

Sure enough, Superman was right. He heard Louise's footsteps staggering away from the others, walking firmly in his direction.

I also want to know that only a reporter with a personality like Louise Lane would want to interview Superman when everyone else avoided it.

"I'm a little tired, let's go first." Superman said to them.

The two young men took orders immediately.

Superman walked towards the private elevator, and at the same time, Louise's somewhat hurried voice sounded, "Mr. Superman, wait a minute, can I interview you, Superman—"

Before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Human Torch and The Flash.

"Ms. Reporter, do you want to see my superpower?" Human Torch smiled, and he snapped his fingers, and flames appeared on his hand.

Louise obviously didn't care about that, but the two young men stood in front of her like a wall, making it hard for her to get through.

Superman has entered the elevator, and after he clicked on the floor, he selected the close button.

The elevator closed slowly, and at the last second, a hand suddenly appeared in the gap of the elevator door and forcefully opened the elevator door again.

Superman looked up in amazement, and the ungrateful man had entered the elevator, brushing back his curly hair as he closed the door.The elevator doors closed, and the man flashed an eager smile at Clark, his eyes moving quickly, which made him look smart and a bit neurotic.

"Nice to meet you, Superman." The man happily looked Clark up and down, and after a few seconds, he stretched out his hand to him as if he had just realized, "Oh, I am the chairman of the Lex Group, Lex Lu Se."

Superman didn't shake his hand, he just looked at him indifferently.

"Hello." Superman said dryly.

Lex Luthor didn't care, he withdrew his hand, rubbing the palms of his two hands together, his eyes that rolled too fast matched his smile, a little too nervous.

"You may not have heard of me, but I'm your fan, Superman." Lex smiled softly, "And a huge fan of yours."
