Not Crazy yet [Comprehensive British and American]

...What kind of feeling should this be?

Clark didn't know.

When Silas Stone uttered that familiar yet unfamiliar name, when the hand he hated to the bone finally appeared...

Clark thought he would be furious and painful... After all, he once hated the 'behind the scenes' who played with him and Lana Lang so much.After all, he is so afraid that his offspring will live as confused and lonely as himself...

But it is.None of the intense emotions he had expected came to pass.The moment the name Emil Hamilton appeared, Clark felt cold.He seemed to be enveloped by a nameless chill...but then his blood didn't feel boiling.On the contrary, to his own surprise...

He actually felt at a loss.

A feeling of bewilderment stronger than before made Clark stop in place.There was a strange fragility in his bewildered look, still the rare indulgence of Superman in 'Clark Kent'... He moved his lips.As if wanting to express a dissenting opinion.But in the end he didn't say a single word.

……what?

why?

how come?How could it be him?

But the indulgence didn't last long.Like the damage done by the man Emil Hamilton.Nothing can stop Superman, nothing can stop Clark Kent.He was indeed affected a lot, but it wasn't enough to shock him enough to escape reality.

But the reality is that he must close the mother box connected to Apocalypse as soon as possible.And figure out where Emil got it from as fast as he can.

It's not such a complicated job.Not even harder than accurately knocking out Silas Stone without aftermath.Especially when some of the fastest and most enthusiastic heroes in the world came to help... Clark and Barry completely controlled the situation within 3 minutes, not only killing all the monsters that came out, but even perfectly recovering this inexplicable The mother box that appears.

"Hey big man, what's the matter with you?"

The Flash patted Clark's shoulder hesitantly, and subconsciously helped him brush off the dust sticking to it.As soon as he entered the 'door', he discovered the abnormality of his friend—Clark didn't change his uniform, but directly faced the enemy in the blue suit that concealed his identity... This made Barry a little uneasy, afraid that something might happen to the other party.

He was worried about whether Superman's identity was accidentally exposed, so he was extra considerate.But the Flash quickly ruled out this possibility.After all, under the premise of having John in the gang, their worries can almost be ignored.The Martian Manhunter doesn't like manipulative people, but helping a friend is the exception among the exceptions.

Barry, who came to his senses, was even more worried.He wanted to push the other party, but he was afraid of disturbing the silent Clark... This hero who has always been very active and likes to make fun of others quietly stayed with Superman for a while.

It wasn't until Clark shook his head as if shaking off something, and gave a bitter and long dry laugh, that he broke the weird and dangerous silence.The Kryptonian finally turned his head. He took off his glasses and looked at his friend seriously with those extremely beautiful blue eyes.

"I would like to ask you to do me a favor."

He said.

"One is definitely not legal and not very 'heroic' favor."

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

And when Bruce Wayne learned the ins and outs of all this, it was already the early morning of the next day.

The hero who was always associated with the night walked silently through an extremely remote corridor in the watchtower.His steps are still deliberate, with the quiet quickness of Batman.But Mr. Wayne's heart was not peaceful. If John hadn't specifically avoided it, he would definitely be disturbed by the other party's complicated thoughts and want to raise his head and sigh.

Yes.Bruce Wayne is not calm.Batman is as skeptical as Superman... and he's no less startled and angry than Kal-El.On the contrary, maybe he was more surprised than Clark.

—How could it be Emil Hamilton?

This question seems very inexplicable.After all, how could it not be Emil?Wasn't it because none of them expected that it would be such a... small person that allowed the other party to hide until today?

……No.wrong.

Bruce frowned behind the bat mask.He felt his mixed emotions, and it made him even more unhappy, more irritable... which was not a good sign.But Bruce didn't intend to control it.

——It’s not that he didn’t suspect Emil!

—he doubted everyone!

And that's why he couldn't accept it—no matter how he analyzed it from any angle, Emil didn't have such great energy, nor should he have such meticulous thoughts!His resume is very clean, even the months when Bruce monitored him three years ago... There was no suspicious behavior!

Funny how Clark and Barry proved it again.These two heroes who are always referred to as the "Sunshine Duo" by Stark thoroughly checked Emil's residence last night. The Flash found out why Emil had an Apocalypse Mother Box very efficiently. ——This is a 'gift' from a company under the name of Luthor, and it is a transaction that both parties know well...

But don't be kidding, Emil knew that Superman was earlier than Lex Luthor-who was the mastermind behind it, who was using Emil, or who did Emil use?Aside from this very 'traceable' mother box incident, Emil is as clean as he really is... what does that mean?Luther abandoned him?

Bruce stayed in front of a certain wall for a few seconds, and the high-end technology from Krypton quickly proved his identity and opened the hidden door for him.

This is the 'small room' secretly planned by Clark and him in the early days of the watchtower's construction, in which more than 700 red sun lamps are hidden... But the irony is that this room prepared to imprison Superman is now imprisoning a man who is not bad for Superman. Well-meaning human beings.This wonderful contrast made Bruce twitch the corners of his mouth, but he didn't smile.

"Hi. Dr. Emil. I don't think I need to introduce myself."

Batman's voice is hoarse and dangerous, with a wonderful sense of oppression.This made the old man who was shaking like a quail even more uncomfortable.Bruce watched indifferently the man who pushed Superman to the edge again and again... He frowned again behind the mask.

Emile Hamilton grabbed his left elbow with his right hand, as if trying to give himself some support so that he would not fall down trembling.His face was pale and his eyes averted.Like an honest guy who gets caught the first time he does something bad.He opened his mouth to speak several times, but swallowed the words back several times.The black-rimmed glasses worn by Emil had slipped down to the tip of his nose, but the old man couldn't help it... He looked so pitiful and cowardly.Had Clark been there, he might not have had the heart to ask questions.

Fortunately, he is not there.

—Bruce doesn't allow Clark to be there.

"Don't you think this is ironic? Or do you think it will help you get away with it? Doctor, please stop your little calculations. You should know that I am not a hero who will not soften my heart-I can always be ruthless when facing criminals." more than you can imagine..."

Bruce controlled the rhythm of his speech.When he deliberately prolonged the ending, Emil finally couldn't help but speak.The old doctor was indeed terrified.His voice was weak and full of tremors, and there was a bit of hard pleading in the tremors.

"I... I don't understand what you're talking about, Bat, Batman... You are a crime, I don't understand why you want to arrest me, you are an illegal prison..."

For a moment, Bruce seemed genuinely irritated by him.Batman approached the glass prison suddenly, and his actions made Emil stagger... But Bruce didn't continue to approach, and he didn't open the glass cover to punch him.Batman sneered loudly, his tone dismissive and sharp.

"Look at you, doctor. Are you going to make this even more ugly? Do you think I'm missing evidence? I've seen a lot of people like you, but none so cowardly that I want to look away... "

Bruce tried to cheat.But Emil's IQ was indeed higher than most criminals, and he didn't take the bait.After confirming that the other party really didn't want to see the Yellow River, Bruce had no choice but to throw out a 'clue'.

"Let me warn you, Doctor. In case you think I'm just joking."

"Silas Stone. You can't possibly forget that name?... How dare you? How dare you deceive the other party? After you know the possible harm of what he's researching?! Do you think we won't get to the bottom of it? Do you think you can always stay safely behind the scenes?!"

Emil shuddered at Batman's dangerous tone.For a moment, he was genuinely afraid of being killed by this horrible… not a heroic vigilante.

But Bruce, who never forgot to observe the other party, immediately found that the trembling of the other party had stopped.It sent a shudder down Batman's spine—a reaction that usually means the target thinks their biggest secret is safe, and that what's been revealed so far is just the tip of the iceberg.

This caused a vein to pop out of Bruce's forehead.He clenched his fists violently, and had the same strange sense of unreality as Clark... They were equally confused about why this person was, and also confused about what the 'truth' was... At this moment, they approached together With the answer to the riddle, they are about to end the game of cat and mouse.

Batman gathered his cloak, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.He didn't give Emil time to argue and explain, and he didn't have the time or the mood to listen to the other party's stories.

"It seems that you still don't understand the seriousness of the problem. Hamilton. You still underestimate us, underestimate 'someone'..."

"Don't you understand? You've been betrayed. You've been abandoned. You're just a poor, thrown punching bag. And yet you think you're useful."

"Let me warn you. Luthor is going to get engaged to Lana Lang this September."

"And what exposed you... is Luthor's core research institute."

The author has something to say: It seems that the coolness will be saved for the next chapter, but don’t get me wrong, we still have two or three big plots to end!This is the foreplay part.

And let's take a look at it, Jimei is coming out too!
