Chapter 027: Night Talk
"So, Rorschach is going to college in Gotham?"
Clarke's face was full of shock, and after seeing his parents nod, he was still a little incredulous.
"Is he going alone?"
"This is the fourth time you've asked tonight, yes."
Rorschach was also a little helpless.
He originally thought that Clark would return home today with a foolish smile on his face, which was already the lowest point of his IQ today.
I didn't expect it to be much more than that.
"Our mom doesn't seem to be as nervous as you are......" Rorschach helped bring the dishes to the table, looking at his brother with a blank eye.
"It's a big deal after all!"
Clark was still a little nervous.
"Gotham is a big city, and this kind of opportunity is very rare, not to mention the free tuition and scholarships."
Martha and Jonathan were beaming.
They have always been a little worried, although Clark and Rorschach have excellent academic performance, but if the two of them go to college together, it will still be a burden on the family.
It is true that neither of his children is mortal.
But Jonathan has always felt that this is not a reason for them to shirk their responsibilities.
They may be able to support themselves outside with their special abilities, but only if they want to.
So over the years, even if there are two children to help do the heavy work of the family, the Kent family has never spent a lot of money.
Even so, if you want to study in a big city like Metropolis or Gotham, the expenses for two people are still not enough.
"So, can anyone tell me how Rorschach got accepted into Gotham University?"
Clarke's eyes were clear and confused, a little sluggish.
He knew that there was a little difference between him and his younger brother, but he didn't expect that his love might have just gotten a bit, and his younger brother was already going to college!
"There is a chemical company in Gotham that is focusing on cultivating a group of excellent scientific researchers, so all high schools in the United States have selected some talents for training."
"Sounds good, so why did Rorschach fall into their eyes?"
"That's the best!" Jonathan saw the exciting part coming, and quickly swallowed the beer in his mouth.
"Walter White, your chemistry teacher, was actually the early founder of the chemical company 'Gray Matter', and although he left the company, he still kept in touch with his two friends."
Naturally, they also asked if there were any students in the high school in Smolville who could be recommended, and he didn't hesitate to recommend Rorschach.
"So Rorschach was chosen?" Clark had a little regret.
are all in the same class, and when they think of the most recommended students, even if it is their younger brother, Clark is somewhat uncomfortable.
My chemistry grades aren't bad.
"Maybe it's because you're too sports-oriented, so Mr. White doesn't think you're interested."
Rorschach also saw his brother's frustration, and patted him as a comfort.
Then he ate the pasta in front of him.
"And when are you going to Gotham?"
"It's just these two days." Jonathan took another sip of beer, he wasn't that much of a drinker, but he was a little happy today.
"Ah......" Clark was also happy for his brother, but a little ...... Caught with one's pants down.
Growing up under the same roof as himself, for more than ten years, he has become accustomed to his presence around him.
But it was just a date, and before he could share with Rorschach how fast his heart was beating, he got the news that he was leaving.
Gotham, a bustling city, is not far from the metropolis.
But it's far away on the east coast, and I don't know how far away from the town of Smolville.
Clark ate the dinner so carelessly that he didn't even finish the pasta on his plate.
At night, Clark sat by the telescope of the Fortress of Solitude, staring blankly at the starry sky.
"How's the date?"
Rorschach's voice came from the side, and Clark turned his head to look, and Rorschach sat down next to him with a faint smile.
"Not bad, you know, Lana is a girl who doesn't embarrass people."
Clark shrugged, but his eyes didn't change.
"Isn't that nice? What are you doing with a drooping face. Rorschach handed over a can of Coke and opened a can herself.
The battle with the Dawn Trick Lantern reduced his energy a lot, which had not yet been replenished.
So now whenever he has the opportunity, he will have something nutritious in his hand.
He also almost swept away all the stocks in the refrigerator.
"I just didn't expect that we were going to part ways so soon." Clark looked down at the can and looked at Rorschach, "It's a bit weird, isn't it?" ”
"It's not just you, your parents can see it."
Rorschach was silent for a moment before he picked up.
"If I were an ordinary person, I guess my parents would be able to smile more happily."
"Is it the blue snow? Why don't we both solve it together and finish the book in high school? ”
Clarke's eyes finally regained some light, and he immediately asked.
"It's a little more troublesome than that." Rorschach shook his head.
The combat power of the Daybreak Trick and the Suicide Squad is like the Siberian Tiger and the Golden Gradient, which are not at the same level at all.
Even if Amanda has her eyes on her, Rorschach is not afraid of what she will do.
In front of him and Clark, even if she can cause some trouble, she won't be unable to solve it.
But Daybreak is different, it's a member of the Dark Knights from the Dark Multiverse.
For Jonathan and Martha's sake, I can't stay here for long.
Although he caused harm to the other party this time, he let the other party slip away after all.
My instincts told me that this was not an accident.
The sudden arrival of darkness, the lighting effect of the yellow energy in his body, and the smile on the lower half of his face when the other party left.
Rorschach wasn't going to stay here any longer, he didn't know if the other party would be able to track him.
It just so happened that Amanda came, and someone handed her a pillow when she was sleepy.
"Call me anytime you need to." Clarke's words were sincere, and he looked at Rorschach.
"You remember the key, don't you?"
What Rorschach was talking about was nothing else, the key to the Kryptonian spaceship he had given to Clark.
"Of course." Clark was puzzled as to why his brother had suddenly diverted the subject.
"In the North Pole, you can find the room where this key is located." Rorschach got up and patted Clark on the shoulder.
Below them, Jonas and Martha were snuggling up to each other, their faces missing the elation they had seen at dinner.
"We have to believe in our children, Martha."
Jonathan comforted Martha softly, who already had two tears on her face.
"The world may not be ready, but I believe that Rorschach is ready, and Clark won't be long."
