Not Crazy yet [Comprehensive British and American]

'We just have to do what heroes do. '

So, what are the 'things a hero should do'?

Tony Stark was at an altitude of [-] meters, and he silently looked at the back of his boy.Iron Man stared at Superman silently.

This is the back view of the strongest person in the world.So gritty, so strong.This is Superman, this is Clark Kent.

If you don't get close enough, you may have a hard time imagining that he can be so fragile... so strong.

Tony Stark remained silent for some strange reason.Today he is very good-natured.Mr. Stark is neither angry at his lover for being sleep-deprived, nor is he anxious and dissatisfied that his boyfriend's ex-girlfriend has done so many crazy and sensational things.

He just kept silent.Like a 'standard' boyfriend in a light comedy who doesn't have any idea about his lover's past relationship history-and in fact, he does not feel threatened by Lana Lang's madness.His intuition made him realize that the woman might still love Clark before he knew the truth, but he didn't feel anxious about it.

But okay.Maybe a little bit - but the 'a little bit' of restlessness wasn't due to jealousy or disgust... Tony's restlessness was simply his fear that Clark would get hurt again.

…and this mood was a very magical experience for Tony.He was convinced early on that he was not a very 'love' person.In addition to genius, there must be awkwardness in the Stark family's genetic DNA.Even before his parents passed away, he was not very good at expressing love.And after losing Howard and Maria, he successfully became a 'lost lover'.Not only will he not give 'love' easily, but he even deeply doubts whether this kind of feeling really exists.

so yes.It is precisely because of this.Because of this 'glory years'... At this moment Tony? Stark really realized how thorough Clark Kent's transformation of him was.How 'terrible' Superman is to Man of Steel.

He may still be the pessimistic visionary, but he is no longer alone.Tony never had the experience of being considerate of others before taking care of his own emotions.But at this very moment, the still cocky Iron Man is preoccupied with the young, heartbroken, furious Superman in front of him.

At the thought of this, a muffled anger burst out of his chest.To him, Lana Lang was supposed to be an embarrassing, thoroughly insane troublesome criminal.After all, this is his boyfriend's ex-girlfriend, and his young boyfriend has vowed not to kill anyone (and he is very supportive).This should have embarrassed Tony.If he's sane, maybe he should provide remote support in a watchtower like Batman...

But he can't.

... His mind was full of the burnt and scorched garden, and his mind was full of that confused and angry boy.

Over the past few years Clark has rarely shown him his vulnerable side.His 'boy' was already a man.This made him a little regretful, but Tony never wanted this regret to be satisfied in this way.

It wasn't enough for that crazy woman to hurt Superman's self-esteem, she had to hurt his deepest bond with the world, Clark's last sense of security - she dared to lay hands on his parents.

Iron Man simply couldn't figure out the opponent's logic.He could only think that Lana Lang might be a goddamn sadist... Tony couldn't figure out why this woman could hurt this young man over and over again while loving Clark.This made him feel a strange sense of uneasiness. For that faint premonition, Iron Man ignored the embarrassment he might face, and followed Superman's footsteps very immaturely.

And his lover did not refuse his following.Clark Kent's mood is far more complicated than Tony's... This feeling is like a mess of wool in front of his eyes, as if each thread hints at some clue, but because there are too many and too messy... Clark is completely confused. Can't figure it out.

When Nathaniel Tryon's head exploded in front of him.At that moment, Superman felt as if he had caught some monster's tail.

There seems to be a creepy voice whispering: 'This is the beginning'. ...if Trion wasn't lying, he was the 'beginning' of Clark's superman career...

It was as if a cold, slender hand was on Superman's back.It made this invincible person feel chills inexplicably.This terrible conjecture made Clark clenched his fists... He felt a low, weak anger—in any case, involving Jonathan and Martha touched his bottom line—but it was stronger than anger. It is a sad powerlessness and strong shame.

...he still felt sorry for Lana.Still ashamed of being powerless and unable to save her.But neither of these two emotions is very intense.He couldn't breathe because of the guilt he felt for Tony, for Joe and Martha.

This is undoubtedly a farce with him as the protagonist.Whether or not Lana was as mad and sad as he thought she was, she had hurt his parents, and the group of people who were innocent and deserved to die.

Clark was ashamed of his evasion three years ago, when Lana and Hamilton had only offended Superman.That's why he chose to give in... But this undoubtedly escalated Lana's revenge.No matter how many times Bruce said that Dr. Hamilton was the real 'culprit'... Clark had a hard time forgiving his past self.

... But in this not too long thinking process, Superman also found a reason to 'comfort' himself: After all, Superman at that time did not have Tony Stark.Still can't believe I'm free from that curse that no one can trust...

This briefly soothed Clark's complex emotions that would have made John dizzy on the spot.Superman also knows that he cannot face Lana and Lex with this mentality.But in the past three years, he has changed too much, and he can no longer treat the enemy like a cruel evil god like in the past.

Because of this, he was criticized by Salvi and Lex for "turning into a weak alien reptile" and "pretending to be a god's clown showing his true colors"... Clark didn't think there was anything wrong with this.Even at this moment, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

he's changed.He did change, Tony changed him...and it was a good change.

This makes Superman 'better'.

Clark firmly believes in this.So when the two of them saw the pure black lead building together, the son of Krypton just looked back at his lover with a complicated expression.

There was neither anger nor hatred on Superman's face, and that face was very much like Clark Kent at the moment.This made Iron Man sigh helplessly.

"...Shouldn't you say a few encouraging words like the captain at this time?" He swallowed the unspoken 'baby' in order to stimulate the people in the building who might be watching them in advance. "Okay...if you don't tell me."

He drifted forward helplessly.Gently stroked the back of Superman's head with his steel fingers.

"Go, Superman. Your Iron Knight walks with you."

"—Let us end the nightmare that has haunted you for so long."

………………

15 minutes ago.

Before Lex Luthor fully woke up...he felt a pain in the back of his head that couldn't be ignored.

This made him instinctively think of the huge insurance money he gave to his brain.But then he woke up completely, and opened those green eyes.

red light.

... red light.

Red light all over the room.A hall of red light.

Lex shivered from the light and the heat, and narrowed his eyes slightly.His movement made Bizarro behind him snort uncomfortably... The pale monster soldier who had been forced to knock out his 'master' couldn't bear to see Luther suffer so much.But his kindness succeeded in counterproductive.

"you're awake."

The ethereal female voice seemed to echo in the nether world.Lana Lang, who was adjusting the red sun spotlights, calmly asked, and turned off those weird red lights in a 'considerate' manner.Lex struggled subconsciously, and then found himself handcuffed to a chair.

This made him raise his eyebrows instinctively.But before the furious emotions came up, a rare, 'dangerous' smell made him calmly judge the current situation - this short few seconds made him think a lot.Lex Luthor was never the type to yell 'Why! 'The fool.He quickly proposed several possibilities and responded quickly.

The man who has always been regarded as Superman's old enemy showed a slightly mean smile.Even at this point, he still looks strong and confident.There was a strange light in his green eyes, and the man calmly responded to the betrayer in front of him:

"What do you want to do? Dear Lana... Pooryoungwoman, is this your plan? This is your plan?"

He spoke quickly, but tried hard not to appear eager.In fact, Lex is very aware that he is in a very dangerous situation at the moment-but since he can wake up again, it proves that he does have a chance.And Lex Luthor was never one to miss a chance.He looked directly at Lana Lang who was walking towards him with a blank face. After pitying this young woman... a real sense of superiority really rose up.

"My God!"

He pretended to exclaim and smiled.This smile is still personable and at the same time has a bit of strange evil.It was a smile as if he was still the one who had everything under control.

"You still love him, you haven't given up on him...you do so many bad things, you kill so many people-is it all for Superman?"

His emerald-like eyes glistened with venom again.Lana Lang's non-response made Lex feel a little anxious, but he still did not lose his composure, and continued to weave his own web like a poisonous spider.

"What else are you going to do? Kill me? Kill yourself? You want to end it all like this?"

"Do you want to make your lovely 'Superman' remember your name? Use this to pave his way for sacrifice?"

"You're so stupid I can't believe it, honey."
