Chapter 18: Superhero Privileges Act
In the living room, the TV is playing today's news interview.
As soon as she entered the living room, Mrs. Kurt, who had been with Clark for many years, could see at a glance that Clark was hiding something.
Hearing this, Clark was a little cramped, and rubbed his clothes with his hands uneasily.
Mrs. Cotter was not in a hurry to see him like this, but waited quietly with gentle eyes.
"Mom, I killed a criminal."
After a while, Clark said as if he had made up his mind, and after saying that, Clark closed his eyes, not wanting to see his mother's disappointed eyes.
"Murder?"
Mrs. Kurt was obviously stunned for a moment, her first reaction was that Clark was joking, Clarke's character would never kill, but seeing Clarke's appearance, she knew that it should be true, but there must be a reason.
"You must have a reason, right, my Clark."
She tried to keep her voice as calm as possible, for fear of disturbing the sensitive Clark.
"Yes, Mom, I didn't want to kill him, but for some reason, I misjudged at the time and used some more strength."
"Although that criminal was also a capital offense, it shouldn't have been executed by me."
"I really didn't mean to, Mom, please trust me."
Clarke's face was full of remorse, and his eyes were fixed on his mother, for fear that she would not believe it.
It doesn't matter to the others, if the only family member in the world doesn't understand him, he will really regret it in this life.
"Clark, I know you best, I know you not on purpose, everyone will make mistakes, but you must always remember to respect human life, no matter what, don't trample on life wantonly, this time is over, you must remember after that."
Mrs. Kent touched Clark's head and said, comforting Clark, but not forgetting to remind Clark to remember the lesson.
With his mother's understanding, Clark was much more relaxed.
That's when it happened.
"Mr. Stark, do you think there's something wrong with Superman killing criminals?"
The sound of the interview on TV caught Clark's attention, and he turned his head to look.
I saw that the person who was interviewed was none other than Tony Stark, a playboy he had disliked before.
"I think you also said that it was a criminal, and if there was a problem with killing criminals to save people, then we superheroes would have to go to court."
"So I think Superman is innocent, and the law on superheroes should be redefined."
Tony on the screen is very sure of his support for Clark.
Clarke, who was on the side, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
He didn't expect that not only his relatives recognized him, but also others in the world recognized him, which made him feel a sense of identity that he had never had before, and completely let go of the mustard in his heart.
……
The highest floor of Stark Tower.
"I really don't understand those old stubborns, they only care about their own interests, and they never treat those superheroes as human beings."
Tony shook the wine glass in his hand and leaned back on the couch.
"Jarvis, are you saying I'm right?"
"Sir, I think the councillors have their own reasons."
"Why?"
Tony's eyes fluttered, and his mind went back to the previous meeting.
Above the previous meeting.
"Heroic Privilege Act?"
Everyone present looked at each other, then at the virtual screen in the air.
The above are some of the permissive bills listed by Tony when superheroes deal with criminals, apparently to make superheroes act more unscrupulously in the future.
"It's definitely not going to work."
Steve was the first to raise objections.
What he believes most in his daily life is that superheroes and civilians are the same and subject to the same laws, and Tony's bill is tantamount to making superheroes a privileged class, which is completely contrary to his philosophy.
He strongly disagreed with such an idea, and if so, in his opinion, it would be no different from the Hydra gang.
Pierce below also frowned.
Of course, he didn't think it was unfair to civilians like Steve, but that as soon as this bill came out, superheroes were less constrained, and they definitely acted more ferociously.
Now these superheroes have made Hydra so tricky, if this bill is passed again, the difficulty of Hydra to do things will probably increase exponentially, which is not good.
Thinking of this, Pierce exchanged glances at Stern and Agent Hitwell, and they both shook their heads vaguely, apparently thinking the same as Pierce.
Several people reached a consensus, and Pierce glanced at the councillor, and Councillor Stern understood and took the lead in objecting.
"No, I don't agree with this proposal either, such a bill will make it more difficult for those superheroes to control."
"I don't think it's okay either, this bill has been hastily proposed."
For the first time, Nick Fury and Stern thought of going together.
"They're right, this bill can't be passed, and we need to think long-term."
Pierce finally came out and made a decision.
Seeing that everyone was against Tony, Steve, who had been taunted by Tony many times, felt a sense of relief in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at Tony a little proudly.
Back to the present.
"That funny guy in the flag is really...
Thinking that his decision was denied, and that he was ridiculed by Steve, who he didn't deal with, Tony was very unconvinced.
"Sir, Mr. Nick Fury has called you to see if you are connected."
Just then, Jarvis's voice rang out.
"Connected, Jarvis."
As if he had thought of something funny, Tony plugged his ears first.
"Stark !!!!!"
"What did you say in the interview!!"
As soon as the phone was connected, Nick Fury's roaring voice came from inside.
"Don't worry, Fury, this is not what you usually do, what do you say I did? I'm just saying what I think, what's wrong? ”
Tony smiled cheaply and pretended to be innocent.
"Don't you know about the advisor, isn't your behavior blatantly against our side?"
Nick Fury obviously wouldn't trust Ni's excuses, and the man who could invent the steel suit wouldn't understand this?
"You've wronged me, Superman saved the president of Stark Industries, and I'm not too much to show my support as a director, right? If Superman had saved my man, I would have turned my face and scolded him for his wrong behavior, which made others think of us Stark Industries. ”
Tony's words are half-true, although he is grateful to Superman, he chooses to speak for him more because he likes Superman's style of acting this time.
"You... I don't care about you, you just need to know, you can be honest with me these days, and don't talk nonsense anymore. ”
After that, Nick Fury hung up the phone directly, obviously angry.
