Not Crazy yet [Comprehensive British and American]

As if time was stopped by the gods, Superman came.

He is like a big bird, like an airplane.He has an unstoppable aura and has incomparable strength.The just-turned-25-year-old Kryptonian appears in a godlike, shadowy moment to fend off his lover.

He was always so shining, always so selfless.He is undoubtedly a unique treasure in the world, a true god worthy of any beautiful thing.

He is Clark Kent.He is Kal? El.He is superman.

... Lana Lang tried her best but failed to raise her head.She could only force herself not to tremble or arch her body.The woman seemed to let out a silent scream... She was so emotional today - it was the last day after all.After all, this is the 'end of the show' she wanted.Even if her heart is indeed as hard as a stone, she can't completely abandon her sincerity at this moment.

After all, people are still weak.

The self-loathing surged again, which brought her back to normal.And Superman didn't look at her at the moment.It's not that Clark doesn't dare, he just

"Are you okay? Are you hurt? Any pain anywhere?"

There seemed to be a flame buried in Superman's chest, and the burning thing was eating the air he didn't usually need—and it suffocated Clark.

Fortunately, this is just a physiological reaction to excessive tension.But it was clear that he wasn't the only one who was overwrought.The face behind Iron Man's visor was sterner than ever before, and even a little angry.Grabs Superman's arm before he tries to give him a full-body X-ray, then instinctively pushes Clark back:

"Get out of here!"

"Now!"

"Get out of here, Karl! While"

Tony Stark never drove his boys away with this attitude.At this moment, he was really in a mess and couldn't make the most suitable choice.If he flew away immediately with Superman in his arms, maybe he could have stopped this from happening.

But this is too demanding.

After all, for Lana Lang, it was just a matter of moving her fingers.

'despair'

Lang's slender index finger pressed the button without hesitation.The woman stared straight ahead blankly, incomparably like a walking dead.But the movement of the living corpse was still neat and agile. When she finished pressing, she dropped the notebook and dragged Luther back on the office chair.

And the moment before she completed the follow-up action.The dazzling, warm red light illuminates the entire underground area.Also illuminates the faces of Iron Man and Superman.

Clark's eyes widened in astonishment.He 'looked' at the pale Iron Man after the mask... Then his body became heavy and fell downwards.He was startled by an uncomfortable feeling of falling, a strange feeling he had never felt before.

But before Clark realized what had happened, before he could feel uneasy.Iron Man grabbed his boy and immediately pulled him face to face in his arms.

Angry, terrified, and keen, Iron Man woke up faster than the 'invincible man' in his arms. Tony Stark made a choice almost instinctively.

——he picked up Clark and ran.

Clark, who was hugged tightly, didn't fully wake up until they were about to enter the corridor just now. Under the influence of the red sun, even his thinking became a little dull.It wasn't until this moment that Superman realized what had happened to him—then he felt indescribable astonishment and incomprehension:

Lana uses a red sun on him.

The eerie basement was dyed even more ominous by the crimson color, which is actually a conclusion that can be drawn without using any brains.But Clark, who was completely mortal, didn't focus on this—he didn't understand, it was different from what he thought.

...Perhaps other people in this case will think that their estimates have been wrong. The fact that 'Clark thinks Lana still has love for him' is just being self-indulgent...but even at this point, Clark doesn't doubt it.

At this moment, the young man who can no longer be called "Superman" tightly embraces his lover who is wholeheartedly leading him out of danger.Unwillingly, he glanced back at the woman who had retreated to the other side of the building.

His forehead hair was ruffled by Iron Man, making him look extra 'Clark' in his Superman suit.

He wanted to yell, to accuse.He didn't understand why she had to make it happen.

He wanted to tell her that he had grown; he wanted to tell her... that he was a superman, that he could bear all this and protect all this.

This is his choice.

He can forgive her guilt, forgive her betrayal; he only hopes that she will return.

...he just wanted to...

That once young and sad girl can also be redeemed.

...He was supposed to settle this matter.

...... He was here to end all this.

———Why don’t you let me help you?

———Why don’t you believe me?

……

.........

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

There was a strong resentment in this glance, but there seemed to be no other emotion other than resentment.

He seemed neither to hate her nor to love her.This glance felt more like looking at a hopeless friend than looking at a mad ex-lover...

This glance almost completely crushed Lana Lang who was also looking at him.The woman gasped as if she couldn't bear it anymore, as if she could scream at any time...

She was so close to crying on her knees and cursing the whole goddamn world; she was so close to confessing to him and apologizing 1000 million times for everything... but just, just a little bit Son.

——After all, she had already calculated everything clearly beforehand.He didn't even give himself time to repent.

A crimson shock wave shot straight out from the dark red corridor without warning, and instantly penetrated a pipe above Iron Man.This almost caused Tony Stark's heart to stop suddenly, and he turned around in an instant, pointing his back at the enemy who might be about to kill.

This reaction was entirely for the purpose of protecting the superman who had become a mortal, but the protected person was so angry that he almost burst into foul language.

...but it was precisely because of this that Clark could see the attacker's face clearly.The Son of Krypton stared in astonishment at the silver 'Iron Man' who slowly emerged from the darkness, and at the suit of armor that was identical to Tony's today...

"...Armajo."

Clark clenched his fists, unfortunately this time he no longer had the power to shake the rocks and protect his beloved.Not even the name of the clone robot 'Armajo' could do Iron Man any favors.The unprecedented sense of powerlessness made Clark more anxious and angry at the same time.

'Boom—'

But before the Superman in Iron Man's arms could sort out his thoughts, the gold-red hero had already made his choice.Tony Stark had long known that he was fundamentally different from this little thing in his arms—he was just a mortal.

——Iron Man raised his right hand and fired a pulse cannon at Lana Lang.

... This surprise attack is undoubtedly an unscripted development.No one could even guess what expression the man under the golden visor had at this moment.

Even Armodra, who had been ordered to trap Iron Man, froze in shock, forced to resist Iron Man's next three shells.Only Clark, who had turned into a mortal, didn't know why, and didn't realize why his opponent suddenly had a flaw.

……

…………

But unfortunately, the raid just now failed to solve Lana Lang.That pale figure suddenly appeared again without hesitation, standing in front of the blond woman like a real superman. The 'different demon' once again protected the 'mother' who hated him, feared him, and refused to look directly at him, making Iron Man clenched his right fist silently.

Then he unrepentantly fired a few cannonballs at those damned red sun spotlights... But those little things didn't move at all, didn't even flicker.This made Tony Stark have to silently fall back to the corridor he stepped on at first.

Clark finally followed his feet to the ground.But Tony refused to give up the important task of protecting Superman, and only stared sideways at the inverted S on Bizarro's chest.As if this could penetrate the opponent and see the woman behind him.

He wanted to kill this woman.

...he wanted to bury it all.

—He wants to blow up the building.

Iron Man fell into deep thought in the red underground.He was no longer as flustered as he was at first.Tony knew very well that Batman and the Martian Manhunter on the watchtower would not be unaware of the problem after they made such a big commotion... But he also knew very well the firepower of his armor, and he wanted to destroy the load-bearing wall If he can escape smoothly in the end, he has to...

But before he could finish his thoughts, Lana Lang, who was blocked by Bizarro, spoke again.The woman's voice was strangely muffled, but the words she said were still cold:

"Bissaro, Almajo,"

"Don't you remember the plan?"

Lang's tone was very flat, but Tony heard a loud noise before he finished speaking.This made him more vigilant, but the next scene made him a little confused.

——The underground ceiling is actually cracked.

...What he wanted to do, the other party did for him.

This successfully confused Iron Man for less than a second.But at this second, Yamozhuo behind him imitated his sneak attack just now and fired a pulse cannon at Superman.

But Tony was prepared.Immediately without hesitation, the arm armor was transformed into a shield, blocking the attack for Clark.But in the next second, he was knocked out - Bizarro didn't continue to stand in place to protect Lana Lang, but chose to continue attacking him.

The blow from the Superman clone nearly broke two of Tony Stark's ribs, but Iron Man still raised his right hand before hitting the building behind him.Tony wasn't sure if he screamed or not - he fired two powerful cannonballs from his chest and his right hand.One shot knocked out Bizarro, who was close to Clark, and the other pierced Almazo's shoulder.

Then he slammed into the pipe behind him, making an ominous, terrifying muffled sound... Tony Stark felt his eyes were blank, and blood flowed from the nasal cavity and the corners of his mouth—he must have internal bleeding, It might even hurt the internal organs.

"...IamOK." But amidst Clark Kent's anxious cry, he responded quickly.

For about 78 seconds, Tony felt cold and dead.But after 8 seconds, Iron Man realized that the situation was not as bad as he thought.

Although he is still like a can of canned meat that has been smashed against the wall, the resistance of this special armor is still very strong-he just has a few broken bones, some internal organs are displaced, and he is still bleeding internally .The blow didn't break his spine, making it impossible for him to get up again.

so yes.He's fine.He can fight again.

In the basement filled with crimson, Iron Man's unique armor running sound sounded silently again.Tony Stark struggled to pull himself out of the shattered pipe... and Clark Kent couldn't take it anymore.

"How dare you—how can you?"

Superman was in disarray and lost his poise.

Clark Kent's blue eyes were no longer bright, but were tinged with a faint reddish color.His angry look should have been full of vigor, but at this moment he was inexplicably very sad.

Clark's body was shaking slightly.He could hardly bear to look at his lover who was fighting alone, but he also dared not look away from this golden-red hero.Son of Krypton squeezed the railing angrily, but still made a choice.

The hero, having lost all his strength, turned and walked towards the villain.At this time, all it takes to kill Superman is an ordinary bullet, or a piece of falling gravel.But how could little Kent allow himself to do nothing? !He has never, never been able to stand by in a crisis.

"Stop all of this! Stop your catharsis! You can still redeem it, you can still... Lana!!"

He moved closer to Lang, and he even opened his arms-just as Tony thought, and at this time Clark also hoped that he could control the woman who drove the two monsters, even if he fell deeper and deeper from here with her. The underground is also spared no expense.At this moment, he no longer had any hope of getting better... At this moment, he finally realized clearly:

They were more like each other than he thought.

...

……

.........

This should have been a very scary, very sad conclusion.But besides the pain in Clark's heart, there was nothing but happiness.He and Lana Lang are really very similar, if not, they wouldn't be attracted to each other...

But it is a pity that the two negative poles can't be negative and positive together.They have all approached that restricted area unparalleled, and they have all stepped into that terrifying realm that is infinitely close to madness.

...but eventually, Clarke came out.He had Tony, he had a partner.

...and Lana, the one who got stuck.

Superman, who already had the mentality of dying together, approached the slender black figure step by step.The expression on his face was sad and sympathetic, but without the slightest hint of fear.This is the look of enlightenment, this is... the look of a superman.

Lana Lang didn't seem to need to breathe anymore.

Her gaze wasn't on Clark, who was walking toward her with outstretched arms.

She didn't even focus on the three people who were 'fiercely' exchanging fire in the distance... At this moment, they seemed to be back in the past... But this time her boy was completely disappointed.

Her eyes flickered like will-o'-the-wisps... When Clark dodged the falling stones and walked almost in the middle, she finally spoke.

For the first time in years, she speaks directly to Clark Kent:

"It's a really bad world."

Her voice is no longer cold, but has a little girlish nasal tone.

"No one really cares about you, no one really respects you."

"They get help from you, but in turn accuse you of being too arrogant and too powerful."

"No one loves you."

Her accusing voice trembled.

"Everyone who loves you will die before you; everything you care about will die. I will always feel pain, Clark, and I will always feel pain for you."

She worked hard to speak the memorized lines.But still feel heartbroken.She always hoped that she could be a little help, a small unpleasant memory in his long life.To her, he was like sunshine that could never be touched and shouldn't be touched.His appearance completely ignited her, making her willingly become the scorched earth under the throne of God.

"I regard you as my only spiritual sustenance, you are a missing part of my soul."

"I love you as I love myself...Clark...but"

"But it's too bitter!"

Lana suddenly arched her body, weeping.The woman yelled out these words as if tearing through the air, and then finally raised her head.

At this moment, Kent and Lang finally met their eyes again.Two pairs of blue eyes met, one was tear-stained, and the other suddenly woke up.

"Lana-"

"This world doesn't deserve you."

"Let's die together, Clark."

Following the woman's ominous words, there was another roar of an explosion from the ceiling of the basement floor.Then there were muffled noises from several walls where bombs were buried.

With the ear-piercing sound of shattering glass, the pure black building completely collapsed within six seconds.
