There is no doubt that the plan of adoptive father Jonathan to make Clark hide himself has completely failed.

No matter how you justify it, it is impossible to easily cover up the past.

First of all, there are so many witnesses in the bank.

They saw for themselves how Clark had taken down the two bank robbers and had been shot with a shotgun and still unharmed.

Unless Superman has a glitter pen that makes people break up, "click" and erase the memories of everyone present.

Otherwise, the confessions of so many people can be corroborated.

Moreover, the surveillance cameras in the bank have already faithfully recorded everything that happened before.

The evidence is there, and it is useless to deny it.

"Kid, lying isn't a good habit."

The fat officer looked at the twisted double-barreled shotgun and smacked his tongue secretly, what a terrifying force it would take to do this.

And the two hapless bandits, whose injuries don't look light.

"Officer, I'm on the school football team, and I often do some work on my father's farm, and I have been exercising since I was a child, and my body is very good, and it is also very reasonable to be stronger than others!"

Clark was in a hurry and thought of a reason.

After getting to know his eldest cousin, he is more and more able to make excuses, and he is no longer the naïve small-town boy.

And Luke calls this change "growth".

"Oh, so your school's football team, everybody can bend the barrel of a gun and take down two grown males who weigh more than one hundred and sixty pounds? I really thought I was Rambo! ”

The fat officer looked at Clark, who was in a pose like Mr. Bodybuilder, showing strong muscles, and wondered if the kid had a brain problem.

"If the children of America were as strong as you, we would have formed a super army and ruled the world a long time ago!"

Seeing this brave young man, he was not willing to tell the truth.

The fat officer was too lazy to continue wasting time, so he turned around and called someone to maintain the scene, collect physical evidence, and prepare to take Clark back to the police station for interrogation.

Of course, he didn't mean to interrogate the other party as a prisoner.

It's just out of the professional ethics of the police and personal curiosity.

It's big news that high school students stop armed thugs from robbing banks.

No matter what city he is in, Clark's performance is amazing.

In this era when superheroes have not yet been overflowing, any behavior beyond ordinary people's comprehension? will attract a lot of attention.

"Mr. Officer? The constitution of people cannot be generalized, and I was once in a situation of extreme anger? I've done things that are hard to do in the ordinary. ”

A flat voice with a smile on it interjected? Stopped the fat officer's actions.

"Kent's behavior can actually be reasonably explained from a scientific point of view? For example, because of the rapid secretion of adrenaline, the blood flow rate is accelerated? So as to burst out of a powerful force that could not be played in the past? It's not as exaggerated as you might think. ”

Seeing the person coming, Clark showed a look of surprise on his face, and said urgently: "Big watch...... Mr. Cavill! ”

Only Luke could help him at this time.

"Ah, is it Mr. Cavill? What are you doing here? ”

The fat officer's originally cold attitude? Got a huge shift of 180 degrees.

He knew the young man standing in front of him, who had been having dinner with the town's executive councillor the previous week.

The young rich man of the metropolis, the star of the town, all kinds of halos imposed on Luke's head are impressive.

Speaking of which? The American model of town management is very peculiar, one is the town council system.

All the inhabitants of the town meet at least once a year? Through internal discussions, various administrative measures related to public security and the movement of people are implemented.

There is also a town representative council system? Similar to the one above, but with all residents electing their representatives to attend? More efficient? Save time.

The town where the fat police officer is located? In the second case, the Executive Council is responsible for all official work.

The most powerful and prestigious are the town's police chief, as well as the members of the committee.

The latter are generally composed of wealthy families and elite classes, and they represent the "opinions" of all the townspeople.

The small town is a microcosm of the political structure of the United States.

Seeing Luke appear, the fat officer coughed twice, slowed down his voice and said, "But he was shot and didn't get hurt, everyone saw ......"

"It may be that the bandits bought inferior guns, or that Kent learned some kind of oriental 'qigong'."

Luke is serious nonsense.

"I know a Mr. Ma, it is said that the British Hercules of more than 200 pounds tried his best, but he couldn't move a finger of him, and he was a master of martial virtue."

The fat officer looked confused, and didn't know why the topic was biased towards oriental martial arts.

He scratched his head, and because he didn't want to offend the other party too much, he hesitated and said, "This is a big case, and he always has to go back with us to record a complete written confession." ”

"Mr. Officer, are you going to take a boy who bravely stood up to protect his mother to the police station for questioning, instead of intensifying the search and chasing down the robber who escaped?"

Luke accentuated his tone and said seriously: "That person has hundreds of thousands of dollars in bank bills and a gun, if he is allowed to go unpunished, then this is tantamount to irresponsible for the personal and property safety of the residents of the town." ”

"What you have to do now is not to embarrass this courageous boy, but to immediately contact the highway patrol officers along the way, as well as the state police, and go all out to arrest the gun-wielding bandit wearing the president's mask!"

Although Luke is not much older than Clark in terms of age,

But he shocked the fat officer in momentum, as if he was the other party's superior.

After all, having served as a lieutenant general and director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Pentagon, he developed the habit of giving orders, and the majesty of the superior was subconsciously revealed.

"Kent was a good boy, and he deserved to be commended, not to be interrogated like a prisoner."

After Luke said this, he didn't look at the fat police officer, and took Clark and his unconscious mother straight away.

And the other party didn't say anything, just stood a little embarrassed.

Such a style immediately gained the adoring eyes of the little cousin.

Clarke, who had not yet left the town, had a vague understanding of social status for the first time.

"I contacted an ambulance, took Mrs. Kent to the town hospital first, and then called Jonathan, it shouldn't be a big deal."

Luke seems to have understood the situation and quickly sorted out the various problems.

Because of the emotional upheaval, Mrs. Kent unfortunately fainted.

It can only be said that the accident came too suddenly.

By the time Jonathan arrived, it was already dark.

The Kansas farmer, who had a strong sense of morality, first thanked Luke, then took his wife's hand and watched silently by Clarke, who was standing by the bedside.

The latter gently closed the door and saw his eldest cousin sitting in a chair in the hallway.

"Now you have time, let's talk?"

Luke rubbed his temples and whispered.

Maybe it's because of the "butterfly effect", the plot that was supposed to be a step-by-step plan.

It's like a speeding train that has suddenly lost control, rushing in an unknown direction.

He thought that he would watch dozens of episodes of Clark and Lana's bloody romance, and then wait for Superman to fight monsters in the novice village to upgrade, but he didn't expect to fast forward directly to the identity crisis.

A bank robbery has exposed Clark's strength and is about to fall into the whirlpool of public opinion.

"Big cousin, what should I do?"

The two walked up to the vending machine, grabbed two cans of Coke, and found a quiet place to start talking.

Clark behaves in a panic, and the robbery of a bank by bandits is purely accidental.

In a hurry, he accidentally showed an unusually strong strength in front of many witnesses.

After that, there will certainly be a chain reaction.

News of the town spreads quickly, and it won't be long before Clark becomes a household name as a "celebrity."

"Don't be too nervous, Clark."

Luke calmed his little cousin's emotions.

The current situation is actually a good thing for him.

Previously, he didn't interfere too much in Clark's life, given the resistance from the family side.

As Superman's parents, Jonathan and Martha definitely want their son to live a peaceful life.

It would be better to inherit the Kent family's farm, stay in Kansas as a farmer, and then marry and have children.

But Luke doesn't think so, he wants his little cousin's life to be a little more interesting.

Like, becoming a Kryptonian who can play Wing Chun?

It's just that on the emotional level, the eldest cousin who has been separated for many years and meets again definitely does not have the same deep relationship as his adoptive father and adoptive mother.

Rashly interfering in Clark's life will inevitably arouse the disgust and resistance of the other party.

A stable structure will always need external pressure to break the situation.

And now, it's a good opportunity.

"Clark, things are nowhere near the worst."

Luke opened the can and took a sip of an ice-cold soda.

"I've solved the video taken by the surveillance camera in the bank."

In other words, apart from those eyewitnesses, there is not enough evidence to show that you are a ...... Saiyans. ”

Luke's words reassured his little cousin.

While in his hospital bed, Clarke's mind was filled with horrific images of himself being locked up in a lab and having his blood drawn every day, becoming unusually weak.

"Besides, there are so many small towns in the United States, and there are always all kinds of strange things and horrors."

The corners of Luke's mouth curled up as he continued.

"Is that all true?"

The more Clark listened, the happier he became, and his originally low mood instantly perked up.

"So, the cops won't come to me again? I don't have to be forced to drop out of school? ”

The little cousin's thinking is still at a relatively simple level.

At this time, he was no different from other peers, his mind was full of hormones.

Just thinking about Lana's better face and her hot body full of youth.

Seeing this, Luke shook his head helplessly.

Men's maturity is often because of women.

When Clark completely falls out of love, he will understand that it is better to be a Saiyan with no feelings.

"But—"

Luke paused, saying the words that Clark didn't want to hear at all.

"I can't erase all the influences, the townspeople will start talking about you, and they'll attach something occult or religious to you."

"Clark, the peaceful life that used to be has left you."

"Because they saw that you squished a shotgun with your bare hands, and when you were shot, nothing happened...... It's some kind of incredible 'miracle', you know? ”

The smile on the little cousin's face froze, he was completely unaware of these problems.

Thinking of the spaceship in the Kent Farm warehouse, and his identity, Clark seemed to be deeply shocked and hung his head.

"That's why Dad made me hide my ......"

He felt like he had messed everything up.

But in such a critical situation at that time, he had no choice but to rush forward to stop the bandit from harming his mother.

"Clark, have you ever thought that hiding yourself is not a good choice?"

Luke patted his little cousin on the shoulder and said slowly, "Jonathan must have told you that it is meaningful for you to come to this world, that you are some kind of symbol, some kind of sign. ”

"But that's a thorny path. If you choose to be a flag, or a beacon in the eyes of humanity, you will suffer a lot of criticism. ”

"People who are afraid of the unknown, they will misunderstand you, they will hurt you, they will see you as an alien, a monster."

Clark lowered his head, and the determined brilliance in his eyes seemed to be a little dim.

"So what do I do?"

He took a deep breath and looked at his eldest cousin, who had gradually built trust.

"Of course, it's to make your debut and become an idol...... Ahem, I mean, you can choose not to hide yourself and tell the world openly who you are! ”

Luke was so strong that he had thought of a follow-up PR plan.

As long as Clark agrees, then Superman will appear in this world.

Then, like toppling the first domino.

Superheroes will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and they will keep popping up.

"Instead of being afraid of rumors and letting them be slandered, why don't you be brave and stand in front of them and tell them that you have good intentions?"

Luke's voice was full of contagion, and Clarke's gloomy eyes were glowing again.

"I'm going to admit I'm an alien?"

The little cousin asked hesitantly.

"It doesn't have to be like this, the identity of the alien will attract the vigilance of the government and the rejection of the masses......"

Luke's eyes flickered, and he was wondering what kind of origin story to make up for his little cousin.

Bitten by some kind of animal?

Or hit by gamma rays?

"You're from the lab, a super soldier serum that made Clark Kent, and made you powerful."

Luke thought for a moment and said word by word.

"Laboratory, serum...... Wouldn't that be a little too sci-fi? ”

Clark scratched his head, he preferred the cliché story of the kind protagonist who impressed the gods and was then given divine powers.

"You can't steal your own script on the set."

Hearing his little cousin complain, Luke shook his head.

That's the wisdom of locking the door...... Oh no, Solomon's wisdom, Shazam's origin story.

"The company under my name, Watt, has negotiated with the Ministry of Defense for some biomodification-related business in the past two years, which can just serve as a suitable background."

Luke snapped his fingers, he reached out and put his hand on his little cousin's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "I even helped you think of a code name, how about calling it 'Motherland'?" ”
