Chapter 14: Gotham is not far from the metropolis
After hearing the two sons tell the story, after Clark took the man away, David followed him uncomfortably, accidentally cutting his clothes while crossing the school fence, and then saw that Clark had made the man incapacitated......
"You did a great job, Clark, you saved your brother and everyone."
Jonathan groaned and said seriously.
"Although we want you to hide your abilities, it doesn't mean that you have to stand by and watch when someone is killed.
We believe that God has given you this power for a reason. ”
"God?" Clark, who was already a little embarrassed and felt that his brother didn't need to save himself at all, was even more instinctively awkward when he heard this.
"What's wrong?" Jonathan saw that Clarke's expression was a little wrong.
"It's nothing, it's just that the madman who was going to kill everyone at the prom also gave him the ability to take a bite of God."
David laughed.
"When I say God, I mean Heaven, not necessarily that One." Jonathan scratched his face, he and Martha were not faithful believers.
"By the way, you finally subdued that man, how did he go?"
He ...... He ......"
Clark is speechless, how to answer?
Earlier, he asked his younger brother what was going on with his body, but the younger brother did not answer, saying that he would talk about it when he went home, but asked him to keep this secret first and not tell his parents for the time being.
"Clark, you're going to keep it a secret for me, aren't you?" His brother's previous voice rang in his ears.
"Of course." Here is his answer.
"He was pushed down by Clark and fell to the ground and became a vegetative state." In the room, David answered with a smile.
"What?"
Jonathan and Martha almost got up from the couch in surprise and looked quickly at Clark, who had just finished complimenting.
"Mom, Dad, you know, Clark has always been powerful."
David smiled and continued, "I don't think I can blame him. ”
Clark always felt so familiar that he remembered what he said to Chloe a few days ago when he was late to school: "You know, David has never cared much about me......"
"Clark, is that really the case?"
"Yes...... Yes. ”
Seeing his parents' inquiring eyes, they all promised to keep it a secret, what else could Clark say, gritted his teeth for sure.
"Clark, starting tomorrow, you're going to secretly practice mastering your power on the farm."
Jonathan stood up suddenly, his expression becoming serious, and he pressed his son's shoulder worriedly.
"What if the next time you use a little more force, you miss and kill someone."
"Good...... Good. ”
Faced with the old father's worried and tough words, Clark couldn't say anything, so he could only nod.
……
Jonathan and Martha, while kind, are not pedantic, and Clark is just careless.
The main thing was a murderer who wanted to massacre the students, and he should have been sentenced to death.
So he just told Clark to practice mastering his power and prepare to supervise from tomorrow.
"You're so despicable, David."
In the warehouse, in the attic on the second floor, Clarke, who had just been freed from his parents' nagging, couldn't help but be full of resentment.
And his younger brother still holds a grudge.
"It's not bad for you to practice more strength."
The sky was full of stars, through the window, looking at David in the distance with his arms crossed, and glanced at him.
"Look at the way you face that guy today, like a guy ready to help a hedgehog cross the street."
It's not touching, it's not touching, there's no way to start.
"I've always been able to control my strength at the level of ordinary people."
This is true, otherwise there would have been countless accidents around Clark over the years.
"But what if the opponent's strength is beyond ordinary people and you need to deal with it?"
"How can there be so many people with superpowers that I need to deal with?"
Clark only felt that David was deliberately using the topic to play for him to find something to do.
The town they live in is so small, he has never caused trouble, it is impossible to be particularly unlucky, and every once in a while something comes to him, all of which are related to superpowers.
“……”
David didn't know what to say when he heard this.
The superpowers spawned by the meteorite rain brought by Clark have become no less than seven or eight small-town monsters.
As for the rest, the devil knows how many.
"David, can you tell me about your body now?"
Looking around, Clark asked in a low voice.
"Have you been a ...... before, or have you been recently?"
Just now, I had to hurry up and change my clothes and go back to school, so as not to be found out that something was wrong, and now that I was home, David had no reason to refuse again.
"That's how I was born."
David replied.
Now that he has shown his ability in front of Clark, he will no longer hide anything about this physique.
"Birth?"
Clark's eyes widened, not quite in disbelief, "Are you sure?" ”
"What?
I can't accept that you have casually exposed your power for more than ten years, and I hide it well. He glanced at Clark and asked rhetorically.
"To be honest, it's a bit ......"
Clark has mixed emotions.
Before he grew up, he also felt that it was a gift from God, and that he was stronger than anyone else.
When I thought of being happy about it when I was a child, David, who was also born with natural endowments, watched coldly from the sidelines.
He felt...... Particularly shameful.
"Are you really sure? I mean...... How do you know you're born like this. ”
"Memory."
David tapped his head with a finger.
In fact, few people know that Thanos, the mad Titan who terrified the entire universe, dreamed of becoming a scientist when he was a child, and he did it when he grew up.
The Titan Star where he lived since he was a child, although the technology is advanced, there are no weapons, no murder, everything is in harmony.
"Until the birth of Thanos, the mutant of the Eternals, he embarked on the path of science in order to explore his differences.
The way of inquiry is dissection, from dissecting small animals, to dissecting classmates, to dissecting his biological mother......"
Thanos can be said to also have a super brain, and after he left Titan, he became the number two person on the space pirate ship with only his own scientific and technological knowledge, and started his journey as a dark overlord.
David and Clark weren't lying to him when they said they learned martial arts on TV.
It's really just a matter of seeing.
"You're going to keep it a secret for me, Clark."
"After you used this to make me just guilty of turning people into vegetative beings?"
Clark asked rhetorically with some resentment.
"Clark, think about what I look like after I use my powers, do you want to worry my parents?"
David said.
He was going to wait for Jonathan and Martha to see some of the more anomalous people on Earth before talking about it, and they would be much more receptive at that time.
"And one Clark is enough to worry them all day."
Let them have a normal, worry-free son for the time being.
At the mention of his parents, Clark's attitude softened.
"By the way, you beat people...... Where did you learn the means of becoming a vegetative person? ”
"Don't tell me it's on TV too."
At the mention of this question, his tone became very serious again, and his eyes were worried.
Precise control of the force to pat the back of a person's head can turn into a vegetative means, not on TV, let alone through empty practice, must be practiced many times experiments.
In other words, there may be more than one person who has been turned into a vegetative person by his own brother......
"Gotham isn't far from the Met."
David turned and walked downstairs, dropping a word.
"I used to go there occasionally during the long school holidays.
You know what the environment is there. ”
The people are simple and simple, and there are wicked people everywhere, and nine out of ten may be wronged, and half of them may be let go.
It was not difficult to find some villains who should be shot a hundred times, and it was not difficult to practice this trick, and he learned it in a few times.
"I've long been tired of being put in prison by superheroes, and then the supervillains will run out countless times."
He decided to do something for the world, such as creating some vegetative people to provide him with some emotional points, and by the way, make the world cleaner in the future.
"Gotham?"
The name of the place seemed to have a terrifying and depraved nature, and when he heard that his brother had been to this place, Clarke's face changed dramatically after he was stunned for a moment.
