New York, Eric's home. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The long-awaited final exam is finally over, and although the results have not yet come out, Eric, who has always been absolutely sure of the high score, has not paid attention to it at all after the exam. No, to be precise, he didn't pay much attention to it even before the exam, and even went to Russia a few days before the exam "for personal leave", which made other students who couldn't get good grades no matter how hard they tried.

But he himself was unconscious, and on the weekend of the second day after the exam, he called Raven to his home again.

It took about an hour or so for Eric to finally tell her about his experience in Russia from beginning to end. The reason why he didn't say it until today is because these days when he thinks about Russia, he can't help but think of Ruth, think of her last kiss with unknown meaning, and then his mind is inexplicably messed up.

What the hell was the girl thinking? She knew I had a girlfriend, didn't she?

Despite reassuring himself that he hadn't done anything guilty, he deliberately omitted some of Ruth's relevance to himself when he finally told Raven about his story in Russia. Although Raven said that he wouldn't care if he liked other girls, the woman said that she didn't care at all, and she was definitely lying.

"That's about it."

After finishing his breath, Eric took a deep breath, took a sip of boiled water from his glass, and looked away from Raven, intentionally or unintentionally, and nonchalantly turned to the news program that was playing on the TV.

"It's called...... Ruth: Right? Raven thought for a moment and asked.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"She's the daughter of the Death Knell?"

"yes."

As if thinking for a moment, Raven spoke, "That woman...... It's better to stay away from her. ”

Eric gasped and felt his heart pound.

Is it exposed? No, is there any flaw in the story I'm talking about?

"What's wrong?" Raven asked, confused.

"Ah, no, nothing, it's just...... Why do you say that all of a sudden? ”

"I don't know." Raven said dryly, "It's just my instinct, she gives me the feeling that it's dangerous, so it's better not to approach it if it's not necessary." ”

It turned out that it was not exposed, Eric's heart was a little wider, but at the same time, he had palpitations for a while. It's not entirely unreasonable to say how terrible a woman's intuition is.

Although Ruth's last kiss was completely unexpected, and theoretically there was nothing to feel guilty about, there was really no need for Raven to know about this kind of thing.

A news item on TV was broadcast just right, diverting their attention in time.

"Now it's a report on the aftermath of last night's big fire in Nova Scotia." A beautiful announcer on the TV stood between a charred and abandoned frame and said to the camera, "According to last night's information, we already know that the fire was under the control of the fire brigade within an hour, and we have confirmed that there are no residents in that dangerous building." But just then, the teenage speeder who called himself 'Kid Flash' broke into the scene and tried to help control the fire. But his inexperienced intrusion caused a 'flashback phenomenon', which eventually caused an already stable fire to erupt again, becoming an even greater disaster. All indications were that he had no intention of taking responsibility for his game of playing house, and that he had run away immediately. ”

"Lightning Kid." Eric held his chin and did his best to scavenge for information about the number one character in the comics.

The TV screen then cuts to a so-called "expert" on the TV station. The expert spoke unhurriedly: "Thank you to the reporters on the ground for the report, which she pointed out is very important. In fact, this is not an isolated accident, and this so-called 'lightning boy' is just one manifestation of the problems that plague not only the United States, but also the rest of the world. There is a growing number of mutants around the world and a variety of superpowers born out of accidents, including teenagers, and it seems that the authorities do not have any legal provisions to restrict these children. At present, a spokesperson for the Justice League has said that this 'Flash Kid' has no connection to the famous Flash in Midtown. ”

"Doesn't sound like a good thing." Raven said lightly.

Indeed, if you want to count them, they are all members of the "teenage superpowers".

Eric shrugged his shoulders and turned off the TV: "Go with the flow, there's always a way." ”

Neither of them noticed that just outside this room, on the top of a building a few streets away, a black binoculars were pointing at the positions of the two men, and their every move was watched by someone.

"Identify two goals...... Operational readiness begins. ”

Elsewhere, in a top-secret base hidden in the shell of a pharmaceutical factory.

The telescope's images of Eric and Revan were clearly projected on the electronic screen, and the black figures looked at the image with interest with their hands interlaced at their chins.

"These guys, did you choose him as a target so quickly? Hehe, what an accident. The man said to himself with a smile.

"Do you need to stop them?" A red-haired lady in a white uniform with heavy glasses asked.

"No, it's not necessary." The man said, "Anyway, if the plan is carried out, sooner or later, you will have to run into Alpha, since you can't avoid it, why not take the initiative to say hello to him first?" ”

After a pause, he added, "If the plan continues, the progress of that project will be crucial." Isn't 'it' ready? ”

"It's still in the observation stage, and this project happens to be in the most delicate part." The red-haired woman said, "It will take at least a while before it can be put into actual combat." ”

"It's better to hurry, if you only have the power of the twins to use, it may not be enough in the next battle."

The man spoke, tapping on the keyboard in front of him. The surveillance feed is immediately minimized to the bottom, and the image of "that item" is projected in the center of the screen instead.

It was a sleeping teenager with handsome features, dressed from head to toe in a one-piece white uniform with a meaningful "S" mark on his chest.

"Soon we will have to reach the crucial step," the man said, "and soon, we will need to use ...... Superboy power!" ”
