Not Crazy yet [Comprehensive British and American]

Gee.

As Iron Man flew, he looked at the boundless ice field below him.

All right.He really felt Superman's determination to hide from the world... To build the base camp here, if the guys who want to come as 'guests' don't have an accurate positioning system, I'm afraid they will have to experience the real despair.Clever and extreme.isn't it?

"Sir. We have reached our destination."

"Okay." Tony said, slowing down.Iron Man hovered in the cold wind.He half-closed his eyes, was a little puzzled, and opened his mouth to confirm. "You say we've reached the target point, Jarvis?"

"Yes, sir."

... Strictly speaking, this is actually not his first visit to the North Pole.When Tony was 20 years old, he once took a trip around the world.Although it was just a reckless whim, the talented young Tony Stark also calculated everything on the second day of the first day.He set this ice sheet as the center point, and came here in the coldest February... At that time, he hadn't brought Jarvis with him, but he wasn't as confused as he is now.

—are they really here?real?But something always feels wrong, it shouldn't be here

Fortunately, Tony's willpower is strong enough, and fortunately, Mr. Stark trusts his AI butler enough.If he chooses to trust his instincts at this point, turn around and head back.Then this meeting will definitely have an extremely embarrassing start.

Because before he was puzzled for more than 45 seconds, the blue-red figure suddenly appeared from a distance.Obviously, the young man was also afraid that he would turn around and go home, so he came out to meet him.

And this made Tony raise an eyebrow subtly behind the visor.But when Kal-El flew in close to him, he was back to being the venerable Stark boss, Iron Man.The clairvoyant alien smiled without any objection to his slightly indifferent attitude.That smile was as gentle and dazzling as that 'small gathering'.This handsome alien seems to be trying to raise the temperature of the North Pole with a smile——

"Hi, Tony." Clark said with a smile. "The place is really hard to find, so I thought: I'm afraid I should come out to meet you."

Clark smiled softly.He could 'see' Tony's expression was a little stiff... which was really incredible.Their personal identities are obviously very familiar.They are so familiar that he can be comforted by Iron Man's call - but their hero status is just half strangers who have met a few times and cooperated only once.

It is precisely because of this that Mr. Kent Jr. agreed with Barry's idea.Clark was indeed too familiar with Tony.Because of this, if Superman doesn't become familiar with Iron Man, no matter how frank he is, he can easily make the situation worse in an instant...

"So I did find the right place."

Tony forced himself to look directly at Superman.He suppressed the discomfort in his heart—it was hard for Mr. Stark to explain where this discomfort came from?Could it be jealousy?Or is it pure awe of alien creatures and uncontrollable things?Or was Kal-El really beautiful and exciting to him?But anyway, Tony forced himself to look directly at Carl.

And his general conclusion made Superman nod in agreement.Clark just showed a little admiration, and of course heard what he meant.So the little alien very considerately explained to him:

"Your willpower is really strong. I admire people like you from the bottom of my heart...Technology is power, isn't it? But it's a pity that if I also use the technology of my home planet to protect my 'fortress', it will make the This private place became a target... So I asked some kind wizards to cast some expulsion spells nearby. This spell really works, it can disrupt people's perception of coordinates. It basically meets my need to hide here. "

Clark shrugged and easily expressed his dissatisfaction with some 'excessive attention'.Maybe it was what Banner said to him before he left that played a role.This time Tony wasn't uncomfortable with Superman's rejection of certain people.Iron Man just frowned in surprise, and asked:

"Wizard?" The word is ancient and outrageous.And he was keen to notice that Superman didn't use the word 'friend' this time. "Is this the kind of person I thought? The kind that would appear in a picture book—?"

Clark smiled wryly.He nodded.

"I don't think you'd want to see them—the magic side does exist. And it's not a very small number. Unfortunately, some of them are really... old-fashioned and xenophobic. Doubt, if you see them, you will be amazed by their magic and weirdness."

Superman flew to Iron Man's side to lead him the way.Tony glanced sideways at the little Kryptonian's expression.The expression on the face of the black-haired young man was a little subtle, as if pouring a cup of black coffee into helplessness.But then, without knowing what Kar-El thought of, he actually smiled again.and looked directly at him.

"By the way, I think they definitely don't want to see you..."

This smile is strangely childish.It doesn't make Superman look stupid though.And this time, Tony still didn't feel that this guy couldn't look directly at him—they seemed to have become a little more familiar.

So Iron Man deliberately raised his eyebrows.He believed that Superman must be watching him.So the tens of billionaires are rarely in a good mood to support him.

Clark looked at his expression and smiled a little happier.

"Because your existence proves their stupidity...The wizards' contempt for the world and their rejection of technology make them miss too many miracles. And you are the most powerful representative."

…………Wow.

—No one ever told him that Superman is so good at flattery, this flattery almost makes Tony take it seriously—

"Hahahaha, I'm even more curious when you say that. Are these guys really so bad that they would be a loss if they haven't seen me—?"

Well he just meant it.He really believed it this time-this kid is really a sincere and good boy.Superman is really very discerning.

They were 'chatting' lightheartedly.Before he knew it, he had arrived at the gate of Superman's fortress.

Tony put away the smile on his face, and opened his visor.He looked up and looked at the two opened doors. There should be four high buildings with unknown materials.Iron Man sighed helplessly in his heart.

All right.It's really alien, and it's really not the earth.When Tony got closer, he realized that the door was not only tall, but also thick—as for the weight of the alien material?He wasn't going to close the door for Superman anyway.Tony had a bad feeling—maybe the next time he was a guest, he could switch to the armor with the most horsepower.

But before his amazement and self-deprecation lasted long, Kal-El smiled and led the way.Superman himself leads his guests home.

Iron Man didn't hesitate to step into the mysterious place that the military had worked hard for four years, but couldn't get what he wanted - "Fortress of Solitude".

Speaking of which, he thought the name was too childish back then...but now that Tony stepped into this 'city', he finally realized how appropriate the name is.The porch of this fortress is made of a patchwork of ice-like dark blue stones.Jarvis couldn't analyze what it was, but the obvious increase in temperature made the ai butler no longer warm him and the armor.Tony didn't ask what it was, and Superman didn't answer.Everything was so quiet, Tony couldn't hear anything except the sound of his armor running...

The red cloak walked ahead.

As if all this is so normal.It seems that Superman is a good and quiet host, but it is obvious that he is not a good and considerate guide.

But it hasn't waited for Mr. Stark to swallow the curiosity completely.Superman, who was walking in front, spoke.The other party's voice sounded strange and a little shy:

"Well, Tony. I must say I'm a little nervous."

Iron Man subtly raises his right eyebrow at this magical opening line.He'd never admit it, but being a genius can be considerate sometimes.The proof is this: Tony Stark immediately instinctively joked after hearing this young man's words:

"Excuseme? I'm not even nervous, you told me you were nervous? — Wait, you're not really going to do something to me, are you?"

Clark burst out laughing with embarrassment.Tony looked at it in surprise, making sure it wasn't his own illusion—the tips of Superman's ears seemed to be red?

"What can I do to you? Lock you up and only design armor for me from now on? - No, I think it's a bit too scary to say it. Huh. But thank you, Tony." Clark twitched strangely He lowered the corner of his mouth.Then he quickly brought the topic back up.He was really too cautious.Cautious to a little at a loss. "I'm really a little nervous. Yesterday me and my robots - you'll see them in a second - I said to them yesterday: Tomorrow we will have our first guest. Please follow this standard to clean the fort .”

One important point after another flashed through this sentence.In the end, it turned out that Iron Man decided to listen to the next sentence before thinking because there were too many important points.

"And they told me very angrily. My first guest should be Dr. Bruce Banner...I'm really embarrassed. No matter how many excuses I make, I have to admit-I overdid you Specialized. It's really, really bad"

"I'll tell Banner about that. Oh, yes. He asked me to take it with you—I must tell this guy when I go back. His little friends value me much more than him."

——Did he bring out the word 'children'?Forget it is not important.All that mattered was—he damned had to interrupt the alien kid.What's the matter with their aliens?Do you have to make it so, uh, ambiguous?

"And, I guess you don't have many friends, Superman?" Iron Man unconsciously sped up his speech.This is one of the characteristics when he thinks and talks at the same time.He forced himself to respond in the most rational way possible. "Maybe I'm your first guest who doesn't trust you so much and isn't so 'friendly'? It must not be easy for you, I understand."

No.not like this.

Clark turned around helplessly.He knew that he had to lay the groundwork a little more before he could get to the point—if he told Tony: 'I'm Clark', he was afraid that this person would choose to turn around and leave...

Maybe it would be a good idea to close the gate.

"It's not like that, Tony. It's not like that...you and Banner. You are both very special friends. You are both people I admire very much. I still thank my original self for choosing to take Hulk away. If I hadn't been reckless enough back then, I wouldn't have known that there was such a brave and gentle soul under the Hulk..."

The red cloak turned its gaze to him.This made Tony feel bad for a while.He opened his mouth, wanting to interrupt Kal-El and stop him from continuing.Because it must be his turn next - and Superman will definitely describe him in such a disgusting way.

But he couldn't get the words out.

Because Superman's blue eyes once again meet his four eyes.There must be some kind of magical power in this alien boy...some kind of magical power that makes people want to continue listening.

— At this moment, he didn't realize at all that this incident had actually happened once.

A little reporter once looked at him like this, forcing him to accept those sincere compliments... and the compliments really turned into motivation for him to continue.And it does make him to some extent.

Both of these 'two' people thought he was doing the "right" thing.

"And you, Mr. Stark."

"You know I can't help my eyes. I look around sometimes—and you, your 'heart'...it just shines too brightly for me."

Superman whispered softly.Confess the spell.

"Your new 'heart'. That reactor that kept you alive...it took away parts of your lungs, your ribs, your musculature. It hasn’t been reported, maybe no one in this world except your personal doctor and me understands what you have gone through and what you are going through..."

"This is a hero. This is justice. This is what we... burn our lives to insist on."

"That's why I admire you. That's why I always think...you are different."

The author has something to say: ignorantly talking about love.

But in fact——Clark admired many people.He was special to Tony because Tony was special.Not for these reasons—the greats are big and small, similar and different.This is Super English.All those who walk on this road are losing and gaining.I am not one to measure greatness.For the word great already has the heaviest weight.

small theater:

after falling off

Iron Man: Why didn't I think of it at the beginning—I'm such a smart person, how could I not think of it? ? (beat the wall)

Bat: Heh.Drama needs.

Lex: Don't be complacent upstairs, please?You are the one who only knew about his vest because of the needs of the plot, okay?That kid has a spell, right? ? !

Thanks to Manman, it was Manman who recommended me the information on lof - on how Nini's reactor was inserted into his chest.Come to think of it, it's really...um.
