Not Crazy yet [Comprehensive British and American]

Jonathan bent down, turned on the tap and scrubbed his hands.

The sound of the car door being closed made the old farmer turn his head, and an unremarkable black car stopped on the path of his house.Jonathan straightened up and wiped his hands with a towel beside him.He looked over there and couldn't help frowning. The old farmer stared at the two black men who walked steadily but looked inexplicably anxious.They were all wearing black suits and no coats.One of them nodded slightly when he saw him... and they came over.

"...Hi, Mr. Kent!" The one-eyed black man who nodded to him greeted him first.Jonathan looked at them. He was just a commoner, subconsciously thinking that wearing a suit would not bring too deadly weapons.This made him relax a little.

"Nice to meet you." The one-eyed man said, extending his hand to him friendly.But Jonathan felt a surge of uncontrollable discomfort... But why bother, why bother?They're probably just following orders.So the old farmer also extended his hand and shook him in a friendly way.

Things are going better than expected.Nick Fury turned his head slightly, and General Swanwick pursed his lips.He, too, gave a dry smile as friendly as he could, and shook hands with Kal-El... Clark Kent's father.

Nick Fury wanted to continue talking to Jonathan Kent, but the old farmer just shook his head at them, then turned and walked towards the front door of the house.

"bring it on."

Fury and the general exchanged glances.They did not intend to conceal their identities, but it seemed that the Kent family had indeed been prepared.After all, Kal-El flew straight back to Kansas.As long as they know the approximate location, they have countless ways to determine where the place where the killer has been hidden for 18 years.But also relying on the information obtained by General Swanvik... Even if Kal-El can still 'hear' all their arrangements now, it is not surprising at all.So Old Kent's frankness did not make them have the slightest doubt... Rather, it seems that their thinking is completely correct.They are in the right place.

...However, the high-level officials have already had a fierce conflict over whether they really want to contact this Kryptonian who has been living incognito.The stimulation brought to them by the battle scenes fed back from the space station is huge.Obviously, the Kryptonian invaders' physical strength, advanced technology and weapons made them unable to imagine the possible consequences of being an enemy... and easily defeated the nine adult 'Kal-El' of the same race Undoubtedly a scarier monster.Some people even wanted to ask Stark whether he could create a weapon that could defeat the Kryptonian...but before that, Fury resisted all opinions and finally got this precious opportunity.

How can you be sure if you don't try?

... This time the task is easy and difficult.He needs to prove that Kal-El, or 'Clark Kent', he needs to be able to prove that he has enough kindness to the earthlings and ordinary people.Even if he is Professor X, he cannot be Magneto.

...Although even if it is Magneto, Fury doesn't think they really have something to do with him.Facing this level of killer.The government didn't even think about consulting Professor X in the past. Rather, their first reaction was to eliminate the possibility of Professor X getting the news as much as possible.It is absolutely not allowed for people to get their hands on this monster, and it is absolutely not allowed for this monster to be controlled by other forces or other people...

An invincible monster that cannot be destroyed nor controlled.This is the object of Fury's mission this time.That should have terrified anyone, any mortal...but he didn't.He may indeed be as crazy as those people said... He is just a little uneasy and a little excited...

In fact, he has always had an idea in his heart... There is a deep hidden, crazy idea.

He followed Jonathan Kent at a distance of about three steps from General Swanwick, who insisted on coming together.The old farmer passed by the front door of his house and waved to Martha Kent who was repairing potted plants.Then led them across a path.

His family has a large cornfield.

This is also written in the documents.The two of them have read the resident file which is not long at all.This Kansas family can be said to be harmonious and happy on paper. In the past 18 years, no one has ever questioned that Karl-El is not the real son of the couple.They were so close that 'Little Kent' even went to high school in the town.

Jonathan stopped in his tracks.The two government officials behind him stopped politely about two steps behind him.Jonathan squinted at a golden cornfield in front of him.

For some reason, his son always likes to walk here alone.

It has been like this since childhood.When Clark was young, when he was confused, when he was happy... he liked to come here...

"Clark!"

He called out to his son.

The two men behind him froze for a moment.I didn't expect him to be so direct, and I didn't understand where the Kryptonian boy would appear from.

The three of them stood quietly in front of this gratifying corn field. After a while, a voice came over.

Fury actually believed in the professionalism of himself and General Swanwick.But he could not help but feel his scalp numb and his muscles tense.He remembered that Kal-El fired a ray in space and destroyed the spaceship with just a few hits... He made up a lot of weird appearances, but in the end,

Eventually the monster, the boy... came out of the cornfield.

Clark gently pulled away the corn stalks in front of him, and he saw his expressionless father, and the two uninvited guests with strange expressions behind him.The boy sidled out of his family's cornfield, smiling flatteringly at his father.

Swanwick looked at Kar-El in astonishment.

The Kryptonian's hair was let down by him, hanging messily around his face.It made him look smaller.Those blue eyes looked at Jonathan Kent, his adoptive father.The boy showed a shy smile.He was wearing a grey-green coat that was obviously a bit too bulky, and there were some grass poles stuck in it that were probably just scratched.This made the general confused for a moment, he wasn't sure he knew the boy in front of him, he couldn't believe it was that indifferent and arrogant alien.He just looked like a small-town boy, and he didn't even look like he'd finished high school.He was almost dizzy from the innocence and kindness that day - but he didn't understand why.

"Oh... brat..." Fury's astonishment was lighter than that of the general.After all, he still hadn't really seen the Kryptonian boy in black and white uniform.He subconsciously turned his gaze to the old Kent who was admonishing others. "I helped you cover for your mother—and you ran into the field wearing my coat? Are you really going too far, Clark."

The adoptive father of the Kryptonian taught his son a serious lesson.Clark Kent giggled, showing no fear of being caught.He must have been pampered and brought up, and his father's stern attitude could not scare him.The big boy pretended to be hard and slapped the sticks that were glued and inserted on his body, and then walked forward and said in a false manner:

"Not next time, Dad."

Faced with his son's sweet smile, the father could only shake his head helplessly.

"Won't wear it again, or won't be discovered by me? ... Well, you still have guests."

The last words of the old farmer finally woke up Swanwick.He came back to his senses, and closed his mouth that was slightly opened in surprise just now.Fury looked at the father and son thoughtfully.

It's more intimate than he thought.

It was obvious that the biggest center of gravity of the family was the boy.It is a miracle that a child of this age is neither afraid of his father nor tired of his mother... His earthling adoptive parents have poured into him a deep love that is no less than, or even far better than, many families.This makes his choice no longer incomprehensible. Compared with the clansmen who want to invade the earth, few people may not choose the family who has always loved them deeply.

This could be an entry point.

Clark watched his father make his way home alone.His father didn't look back.It's just as they said.

Fury stared at the boy.His vigilance is still there, but he will no longer simply regard the other party as a frightening monster.This situation is much, much better than he thought.He realized that the boy was neither Professor X nor Magneto.

But Kal-El——Clark Kent's expression became obviously cold after his father's back completely disappeared.The change in temperament allowed Fury to be sure that the boy's goodwill towards the government might be extremely limited.The one-eyed man wanted to break the silence first, but General Swanwick spoke first.

"You did it. Boy." Surprisingly, the normally ruthless general seemed humbled. "We saw all that... it was a big shock. Some people don't want to believe your words. In fact, according to my experience, I shouldn't trust you completely...but...but anyway, I only represent my own Will, I believe you made the right choice. You didn't let them set foot on our planet...you didn't let them destroy our country."

"……you did it."

Clark Kent froze.

The general lowered his noble head slightly, which caught Clark off guard.He thought that the two of them were going to play a bad cop and a good cop.He thought General Swanwick would be the bad cop...

It was an unexpected affirmation.

The young Kryptonian watched all this freshly.He found that even the person next to the general was so shocked.

Clark Kent couldn't help laughing.

He wasn't sure he ever wanted this.He's really not sure.

It feels so fresh.He thought his recruiting was irreversible.is powerless to change.But it does look right... yes.The world will always bring him pain and sorrow.However, he also offered praise and love without hesitation.

"I didn't expect... did I really get this affirmation, sir?" The boy's gentle voice made it impossible for Swanwick to connect him with the alien that day. "It may mean a lot to me... It does mean a lot to me, I'm afraid. You are the first person outside of my family to affirm my actions in person."

Ferry couldn't help thinking that Swanwick might be an unexpected negotiator.He managed to soften the teenage boy's attitude.

Clark's expression was very complicated.It was both genuinely grateful and unsure if I really cared.He said:

"The day before yesterday was really a very important day for me." The boy looked back and forth between the two of them. "I defeated the enemy that meant the most to me. I know I'm not alone."

Generally speaking, the child is obviously not in a bad mood compared to just now.So Fury took the opportunity to ask:

"I'm Nick Fury, hello Mr. Kent." He politely introduced himself to the humanoid nuclear bomb. "The friend who helped you yesterday, is he also an alien? Or is he a superpower? A mutant?"

He looked into the eyes of the little Kryptonian, and stepped on the line seriously:

"And, you can take this as my invitation—are you interested in working for the government?"

Swanwick looked at Fury in surprise.

That's way more than what they have today.They were supposed to be here today just to show goodwill—he didn't believe he'd get to the heart of the wrong mission.

It seemed that Clark Kent did not expect this man to invite him so directly and boldly.Especially when his appearance is so full of passivity and hidden dissatisfaction... He really didn't expect to receive the olive branch from the government so soon.

Little Kent was indeed in a good mood.So he smiled anyway.

"That friend, he should be a movie cop. Cosmic movie cop. I can describe it as an image." He didn't answer the question of the race of the Green Lantern, and he didn't intend to cause any trouble for his friend. "I'm not at all interested in a government that acquiesces in the killing of mutants, sir. I wouldn't work for a government."

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became very tense.But only for that moment... and then Fury shrugged very easily.

"I wouldn't say it was a good choice, kid."

...Kal-El just smiled again.This smile gave Fury a very strange feeling.

"I know that complying with the government's request will bring me a lot of convenience..." the boy whispered. "But I really need very, very little. I have a lot of ideas that are just ideas...I haven't figured it out yet."

His smile is mysterious, with a look that is both troubled and ironic.

"I'm not ready yet...but I know that sooner or later I'm going to stand up. I'm going to stand up for all the victims. It was a no-brainer the day before yesterday."

Swanwick looked eager to interject, but was denied the opportunity.

"I know what you're afraid of. I know you think I'm uncontrollable, unstoppable." He shook his head. "To be honest, I'm also afraid of this. But none of you can help me. No one can train me. No one can control me... No one has the qualifications, no one has the ability."

The two adults finally fell silent.No one can afford to speak at this moment.Fury crossed the line, and they should probably take it easy.

...but how exactly do you cheat, how do you control someone who can 'hear' you, 'see' you... beat you?

"But I still have good news."

The boy bowed his head.As if embarrassed by the sharp wording just now.

"When I'm ready, I'll be in a position where you'll see me a lot."

The Son of Krypton promised in a low voice.
