Not Crazy yet [Comprehensive British and American]

Carl opened his eyes.He inexplicably felt his head hurt and his shoulders were sore.The young man snorted twice, and stretched out his hand to hold his forehead.

He couldn't remember what happened last night.It's very weird...

But before Kal-El could go any further, a chubby domestic robot slid over, and his mother's gentle and natural voice pulled him back to the real world in an instant.

"Sweetheart, what do you want to eat? You got up a little late today, so be careful to miss the appointment time."

Laura Lo Fan's care was as light and relaxed as every morning that passed.This steady inquiry made Carl feel a burst of relief.The young man brushed his hair back, and Karl smiled at the domestic robot as he got out of bed, with a little mysterious melancholy on his brows.It made him look more mature than his age.

"It's fine as usual, thank you, Mom... I seem to be having another nightmare."

Carl opened his arms as he spoke, transforming his pajamas into his outside clothes.This black and red outfit is the uniform uniform of all Kryptonians engaged in scientific research.Karl is not used to traveling in private clothes, because of his father, he feels more secure in this suit... Maybe this is a kind of redemption, he doesn't know.

Laura frowned slightly after hearing this.But the woman quickly recovered her smile and forced him to come to the restaurant as soon as possible.Even as a mother, she couldn't do anything about Karl.Her son is good at everything, but sometimes he is too stubborn and stubborn... He is always unwilling to accept or give up...

Karl didn't want to embarrass his mother, and he knew that his dream could not be solved by his mother.Maybe he should talk to Joe...he should talk to his father again.Mom is very busy and always worried about them.He shouldn't always be this wayward.

The young and handsome Krypton came to the restaurant slowly and absent-mindedly. Laura saw that he was in a state of mind wandering again, so she reached out to fix his hair.There was a helpless smile on the woman's slightly aged face. Laura Luo Fan, who was once a peerless beauty, resentfully inserted a lot of side dishes for her son, and Karl ate them one by one without noticing.

... This caused Karl to feel like a balloon full of air when he left the dinner table, inflated as if it was about to explode in the next second-but then he was stunned again, what is a balloon?

It seems to be a kind of red, round ball... Where did he look at it before?He has definitely seen it...

But before he could figure out why, Laura spoke again:

"If you're looking for Joe, my dear, you'd better go to the conservatory. Don't forget your date. . . . Take your chance, baby."

Karl frowned again upon hearing this.Laura's concerned and guilty eyes made him itch.He understood his mother's painstaking efforts, but it was indeed difficult to accept her kindness...

Laura always thought he was being dragged down by them all the time, and Laura kept trying to get him out of the house.Cal hadn't thought of blaming his mother, because even Joe had agreed with Laura's idea—his father, Jo-El, had become a symbol of liars and cowards since that failed calculation.What's even more frightening is that Joe himself has lost his self-confidence and arrogance, and he almost doesn't want to appear in front of people anymore... Such a family background did make Carl suffer some unnecessarily cold eyes, but he never thought it was his parents' fault .

—he never even thought Joe was wrong.

Carl stroked Laura's long hair helplessly.This action was inexplicably a little rusty, but he didn't mind it too much.Carl bowed his head and kissed his mother's forehead, then shook his head and said:

"There's no such thing as a chance, Ma. It's just not a good time. . . . I'll take a look at Joe and go."

The son's gentle reassurance made Laura's eyes water for a while.She really didn't know what else to say... Carl was always like this, always taking everything silently by himself.What a fine, fine young man he was?But until now he's living with these two unimportant, bad-ass parents... He should have moved out a long time ago, and if he had moved out sooner, maybe Carl would have already started a family by now.

Laura looked at her son's tall back, and the woman couldn't help but think of her husband... In fact, until now, it was hard for her to believe that Joe would make such a huge mistake and create such an absurd panic.

The parliament, which believed his statement that 'Krypton is about to be destroyed', urgently removed all the high-level officials and high-level family members they could bring—but nothing happened in the end.The genius Dr. Jo-El actually made a big joke with Krypton.

And this not only led to the complete bankruptcy of Joe's personal credit, but also caused the common people to have great distrust of the top management.At that time, the crime rate on Krypton soared to an unprecedented level. If General Zod hadn't dealt with it severely, the consequences would have been unimaginable...

——But all the mistakes have nothing to do with Karl!

But her son had to grow up bearing the infamy of his father.If it weren't for his impeccable excellence, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be sent to the research institute in the end...

Laura's thoughts now are very simple.She just didn't want the two of them to continue to drag Karl down... But she didn't know whether it should be said that it was "worthy of being a father and son"; or Karl was too gentle... This child actually agreed with Joe's judgment back then, thinking that his father was not a sinner, and he was not a sinner. Not a liar.

——Carl is always dreaming, dreaming that their Kryptonian is blown to pieces, dreaming that their homeland is reduced to ashes.No one can save Krypton, and no one believes Joe.So he was the only one who escaped from the entire planet...

...Laura really can't comment on Carl's nightmare.For a moment she even resented Joe.She blamed him for causing her son to become like this.Karl was already very precocious and sensible, but now he has an inexplicable psychological shadow...

Karl-El could actually guess his mother's conflicted state of mind.Laura's love is submissive and considerate.She did the same to Joe, and she did the same to him.His mother seldom made decisions for others, and the only thing she 'forced' him was to move out as soon as possible and start a family.

But Carl never felt that he was put down by his parents.On the contrary... He was extremely satisfied and addicted.He is never afraid to use his excellence to prove his ability to those who are full of prejudice; and studying the alien species on Krypton is exactly what he loves to do most.Karl has never thought that he was unhappy for a day, and the days of being busy, hesitating, paying and getting like ordinary people made him...comfortable like never before.

In fact, this statement is also very strange when you think about it.But Carl didn't mind.He realized that his heart was beating faster... The automatic door opened with a 'swipe', and the grizzled Jo-El came into his eyes.

"Dad!" Carl yelled subconsciously.After shouting, I didn't understand why I was so excited. "...I'm dreaming again."

Joel, who was watering the flowers with purple tentacles, turned around.He gave his son a big hug first, and then asked questions gently.

"Is it still the same?" The former genius asked with squinted eyes. "Carl, son...you don't have to keep thinking about it."

"I didn't think about it all the time...but Dad...I dreamed it again."

Carl shook his head in a daze.It seems that I don't understand why I dreamed of such a scene.And every time he thought of the picture in his dream, he would suddenly have a headache, but the more he was like this, the more curious he became.

"I dreamed again... I dreamed of the blue star."

....................................

But this conversation still failed to help Carl solve any problems.Even though Jo-El paid great attention to every word of his son, no matter how much he surveyed, he couldn't find the 'blue star' that Karl mentioned.

Countless futile searches made Joe somewhat discouraged.But even so, when his son came to talk to him about the dream again, Jor-El would still silently redefine the scope of the search.

In fact, he doesn't care so much about the "failure" that ruined his life, but since his Karl is always on his mind... Then Joe doesn't mind searching for this mysterious planet, he is willing to find Karl until the day he gives up.

After this topic, they briefly talked about the situation of the green house and Karl's work.Jo Al kept paying attention to the time, seeing that his son had no intention of leaving, he had no choice but to sneer and push him away:

"Have you forgotten the time again? Kid? This is not okay. You can't let people wait for you. Sloppy men are usually not very reliable."

Carl was stunned by Jo-El's slightly teasing expression.This was a very unfamiliar expression to him, which moved and shocked the young man.It seems that he didn't expect his father to have such a side - but he can see such a close and gentle father every day, why would he think so?

"Isn't this a very important date? You were very impatient when you went home yesterday. Didn't someone have something important to tell you?"

Before Carl could grasp the tail of the sense of incongruity, he suddenly realized... dating?correct.He is another date.This appointment was extremely important, and he was very, very looking forward to it.

The young man blinked his wonderful eyes, a rare childish gesture that made Jor-El laugh out loud.He hadn't smiled so happily for a long time... Then the former scientist pushed his son out of the greenhouse, and directly stuffed the kid into the aircraft.Joe was very happy, he felt that Carl would definitely give them good news this time.

"Pay attention to safety and have a good journey"

"son."

Joe looked at Carl proudly, the young man was shocked by his father's eyes.But Jor-El didn't notice anything unusual, he turned his head and went back to the house after saying this.Karl was stunned for a while before skillfully operating the panel of the aircraft. He felt that his mind was in a mess... Many thoughts were chaotically intertwined, but none of them had a clue.

...that's strange, something seems very strange...

…but everything is so normal, what is wrong?Carl couldn't tell at all.And his instincts prevent him from continuing to look for 'abnormalities'.

—Because isn't this his normal life?

After a while, Karl arrived at the destination in the aircraft.This is a farm in the suburbs.It's here that he and his date met.

How did they know each other?

Carl couldn't remember.But this time he didn't even think about it, he was a little used to being interrupted whenever he thought...

And the reality is indeed as he expected.

"Carl?"

A crisp female voice came from behind him.The familiar voice shook him, and Karl almost froze completely.

This time he didn't take the initiative to turn back, but the other party never needed him to take the initiative.

The woman standing behind him held his right hand with both hands, and squeezed him mischievously.She smiled and took Carl's hand and walked to him.The familiar blond hair and familiar smiling face made Carl hold his breath.

"What's the matter? You're so late today."

Something was lodged in Carl's throat.The youth looks at his date.

Kal-El looked at the happy and smiling Lana Lang in surprise.

The author has something to say: Hey everyone, don't hit me in a hurry.Don't rush to hit me.Remember what I said, Clark will start combo soon...

And this stalk is so classic... Now that I wrote Superman, it's hard for me not to write about it.

There is a red envelope in the comment!You can guess, in fact, this meme is also in the show Supergirl.The first one who is right can click a stalk, I will try to see if I can write a side story w
