Not Crazy yet [Comprehensive British and American]

The Stark mansion in Malibu was silent, and in the basement, the only room with a touch of life, Iron Man Tony Stark was wearing casual clothes and holding his mobile phone.

"Hey boy, I'll show you something interesting..." He stretched out his arms and recorded a video with the front camera of his phone.Tony's brown eyes seemed to be shining.

Glittering with the armor behind him.

This scene startled Pepper Potts who had just entered the door, and the woman looked at her boss in surprise.She realizes...Tony, are you recording you and the Mark suits behind you? ?

Miss Potts opened her mouth.But still couldn't shout out immediately.She knew that she should save face for her boss - she just heard from Roddy yesterday that Tony almost died.Died from the palladium poisoning brought by that damn reactor... This made her somewhat guilty.This guilt made her indulge Tony even more...

So after Mr. Stark finished the recording, she sorted out her language and asked as calmly and gently as possible.

"New girlfriend?" Clearly Miss Potts didn't hear the 'boy'. "You know it's asking for trouble"

"No no no, wrong guess, no points! You can try again, dear Pepper."

Miss Potts was taken aback.The woman looked at the flamboyant and relaxed look on her boss's face... She didn't think for a second before the name blurted out.

"Clark Kent?"

"Bingo! Clever Pepper! -Jarvis, fix the tone of the video for me, and send the lightened version to Mr. Kent."

"...Wait wait, Tony??"

Pepper didn't follow Tony's train of thought for a while.The woman looked at him in surprise and inexplicable.

"What does this mean? Isn't this... still under wraps? If you're going to have a press conference"

"No, no, another point lost." Tony Stark still had a smile on his lips.He shrugged indifferently. "It's just a personal greeting, a show off."

Pepper choked on him.The woman stared at him—and rolled her eyes countless times inwardly.She really felt suffocated.She didn't have any distrust of Mr. Kent's character, but she questioned the way Tony made friends.

"...just in case. I mean just in case—he passed this video on to his boss. You know how much trouble we're going to be in, right?" Pepper sighed with a headache.That's a new kid in society, if you don't realize the seriousness of the problem, or if you don't understand that this is just a 'personal greeting', then this situation is very likely to happen. "Tony—"

Tony Stark was slightly taken aback when he heard the words... From the day he put on the iron armor, he was not as reckless as before.Maybe he hasn't gotten out of the shadow of palladium poisoning yet?This time—this time he really didn't consider such a possibility at all.

He was stunned for four or five seconds.

"... Isn't that a good thing?"

"If this happens—you don't have to worry about it happening again. Inevitably, he'll be permanently blocked by me—"

Iron Man was still smiling.He even shrugged again. "Okay. Jarvis, send."

Under Mr. Stark's slightly bitter expression, Pepper Potts finally shut up.The secretary gave her boss a complicated look... She shook her head.The woman organized her words again, she thought she should talk to Tony.Obviously, something has been wrong with him lately.Since going to that party, he's been kind of...

Then a lilting, even comical melody sounded—clearly the climax of a song.

'Look at that shy boy, he won't even kiss that girl'

...The Little Mermaid? ? ?

"Pick it up for me." Tony quickly interrupted the ringtone dedicated to someone. "Jarvis—" His voice was a little hurried.

"Hi, Tony!" Pepper was confused listening to the slightly distorted male voice on the phone.The child's emotional joy was a virus—even she felt warm all over for a second. "Videos are just - so cool!"

Pepper listened in amazement.And looked in surprise.

Looking at Tony also showed a smile of pure joy.

Miss Potts felt a lump in her heart.What did she realize... The woman felt lost, but she also felt relieved.She hissed twice, drawing her boss's attention back.She gestured to Tony that he was going back—back to the company.

"I knew you'd like it." He nodded at Pepper. "Speaking of how you've been doing lately? I read your new report—I think Luthor is going to be pissed off. There's no point in your bragging, Clark."

Clark tilted his head away from the phone, and he laughed again.At the same time, Superman was also pushing the broken spaceship that Green Lantern had just 'taken' to him.

He pushed the spaceship and talked on the phone.

"Everything is going well. Security-wise, the Metro has always had a low crime rate - and my dissertation is ready. Perry, he promised to put me on the job as soon as I graduate. Everything is going well." Tony Imagine the smiling face of the young man opposite. "I hope you are all well, Mr. Stark—speaking of which, do you know that I met Mr. Luthor again a while ago?"

Clark Kent's mild, everyday tone gave Tony a moment to realize who the name belonged to.The boss of Stark Industries was stunned for a moment - what? ?ha? ?

And obviously.His silence made Clark a little uneasy.

"Uh I swear to you—I didn't wear that suit you gave me." That's not the point, kid. "I wore my prom dress—from high school."

Tony took a moment to release himself from his speechlessness.

"...Haven't you grown taller? No, no. How dare you see him alone—Clark, Clark. Are you not afraid that he will take you away for reform? Believe me, Luthor can really do it... Iron Man asked with a frown. "And how did that guy contact you? A job offer? Definitely not. I guess he just had a candlelight dinner with you—"

After speaking, Tony was inexplicably amused by himself.

Oh fine.Maybe Lex Luthor and the Candlelight Dinner are really a bit out of tune.

"Well, almost...?" Clark actually couldn't remember the details of that day... He was really not in a good state at the time.That kind of meanness is hard to recall after the emotion has passed.

And his uncertainty made Mr. Stark breathe a sigh of relief again.Iron Man's uneasiness just now completely dissipated. Although he was a little concerned and confused just now, Tony's reaction was fast enough after all.

Mr. Stark realized quickly that since Clark was still on the phone with him - surely, whatever Luthor was trying to do with the kid, he hadn't succeeded yet.

"It looks like you're not hooked," he joked. "What about Lex? Is he mad?"

This thoughtless question made Clark snort with a smile.Superman was welcomed back to the fort by the robots.Clark finally had his hands free.

"No. No. Mr. Luthor has always been very personable—although it was a strange meal. But I did gain a lot."

His candor earned Iron Man a grunt.This made Superman couldn't help laughing again——

"That's why I called you—" Clark Kent whispered. "I'd like to treat you to dinner, Tony."

Ok?

……Um? ?

"...I want to thank you, and I want to tell you something...."

………………

The day after that phone call, the last afternoon in August.Clark came to New York by car, wearing the suit given by Mr. Stark, looking a little stiff.

Clark stood in front of the agreed restaurant and stroked his hair.

He is hesitating whether to tell Tony Stark today that he is Superman...

The blue-eyed young man adjusted his collar hesitantly.He was very embarrassed, but also very eager.There's a strange temptation to be honest about secrets, and it's something that both thrills... and terrifies Superman.

And when he was so embarrassed that he started to loosen his tie - the store door was flung open.A woman in a chef's uniform jumped out of the door, obviously trying to scare Superman - the man giggled and smirked at the calm Clark.

"Why don't you come in? Little boy—did you forget your wallet?" the woman with short blond hair said to him with a smirk.He looked like a medieval rogue. "Don't be shy, give me one and I'll give you a free order—"

Clark looked at the woman speechlessly.He sighed helplessly.He took two steps forward and gave the stinky rascal a hug.

"Hi, Celia." The Kryptonian hugged his sister deeply. "You are too skinny."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The former victim smiled happily.It was as if her childhood experience had taken away nothing but her aversion to long hair.She kissed Clark's forehead, eyelids and cheeks.It seems that this kid is still only ten years old. "Come in quickly, what are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Clark took a deep breath.Then the Son of Krypton hugged Celia like this.His sister was still grinning, letting Little Kent move her back to the shop.The shy big boy blushed and kissed Seria's temple when he got indoors... The short-haired woman laughed loudly.And happily step back a few steps.

Clark looked at her even more helplessly.Superman rubbed his face helplessly - and immediately changed the subject.

"Aren't you coming back for Christmas? It's four months away—" Clark looked at his sister's shop—it was as dainty and small as he remembered.Although the sense of family is a bit too strong, fortunately, the decoration is stylish enough.Hopefully it doesn't make Tony too uncomfortable. "Eric also said he wouldn't come back. It's going to be really lonely this year."

The Kents were not eligible for adoption.But the connection between his family and Celia and Eric has never been broken in the past ten years.His brother is very worrying, and even Clark hasn't seen him for more than two years.But Celia was a regular at the Kent farm - and it was the first Christmas without the big girl since 'the incident'.Martha sighed for a long time, and even Jonathan sighed a few times.

"I promised to accompany Selena back to Gotham for Christmas, as long as I haven't broken up with her by then." Celia smiled and shrugged. "I'm sure I can't go back. Eric still in South Africa?"

While Clark Kent was looking at the store, Celia was also looking at him.The smile on the woman's face never faded - she was really, really pleasantly surprised.In her mind, this should be Clark's first date after breaking up at the age of 20.And this kid actually chose her restaurant out of solemnity.This trust not only satisfied her family vanity, but also satisfied her desire to gossip.She was really curious about who Clark was going to invite—

Is that person pretty?Are the boys with her pretty?Is that person gentle and considerate or full of personality?Is that man compatible with Clark?

——She is really full of interest, she is really curious!

Clark nodded immediately upon hearing this.And commanded the general to say:

"You won't break up."

Celia snorted. "Best wishes from the little boy. I understand and I understand...Speaking of which, you are not going to tell me who you are dating now? You can tell me that it is a surprise—"

What surprise?Reunited with first love?Or a college classmate with beautiful breasts and a kind heart?But Clark was also secretive—could it be that he had a relationship with the teacher?Or her boy has changed his sexual orientation and is too embarrassed to say?

Superman smiled when he heard that.

Facing Celia's interested eyes... Clark became a little hesitant.

"...First of all, this should really not be the kind of date you think..."

"...Are you going to give me a second chance? Could it be that you have asked your boss to give me a food column?"

Celia asked with a downcast face and raised eyebrows.

Clark shut his mouth.He looked directly at Celia.

"……no."

He was inexplicably a little guilty.

"I'm dating Tony Stark."

... Celia froze.The beautiful short-haired woman stared at him in bewilderment.asked uncertainly,

"What? Which Tony Stark?"

Clark rubbed his forehead.

"...uh, the Iron Man one."

………………What? ?

The author has something to say: Celia. The older sister who appeared in Chapter 2.Victim of pedophilia.Her current lover is a woman and she is bisexual herself.

I think Clark should be the one who cares the least about getting off the horse among most of the superhero fans, and is the one who is most eager to get off the horse...

Celia: What... Clark, I thought you took a male lead script, but you suddenly played with Stark as a prodigal son and won't change your money...

Clark: okouo what are you thinking about!

Tony: (Google the introduction of this restaurant on the road)

That being said, the date was hilarious.Personally, I think it's well written.

ww And what can be spoiled is that this year's Christmas is also very jubilant.

I also want to ask everyone, how much do the babies who read the article know about Marvel/DC?Is there a cutie who has hardly seen it?
