American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander

In front of the small house rented by the Demon Claw Girl in Manhattan.

The locomotive swallowed hard.

He didn't know how to explain to his girlfriend.

Just a second ago, he was still a member of the highly anticipated Super Seven. He had an extremely high income that ordinary people could hardly imagine, and countless fans cheered for him.

His lover was waiting for him to bring back enough money to support the family. His black community and his family were also waiting for him to send money to maintain public facilities and everyone's living standards.

But in this situation, he lost his job!

Well, to be precise, he was not unemployed. Although he lost his status in the Super Seven, he only went from a top-tier first-tier to a third- or fourth-tier one, but at least he had a job.

Whether it was Rwanda or anywhere else, at least faraway Africa still lacked superheroes like him to protect the city.

But everyone knew that it was different, very different!

Thinking of this, the locomotive covered his face in pain.

The power left by Compound No. 5 had helped him recover his right hand, but his intact wrist was far from enough to stop his worries and guilt.

He leaned against the wall by the door helplessly, turned around painfully, and squatted down helplessly with his back against the wall.

After an unknown amount of time, the door next to him suddenly opened.

The sound of the door opening startled him, and he immediately looked at the door with great trepidation, while his beloved Demon Claw Girl looked at him silently.

Facing her lover's eyes, Demon Claw Girl took a deep breath, then squatted beside the locomotive, gently holding the locomotive's hand.

"Dear, you look very tired.

Is there something wrong, or is it all because I forced you to make our relationship public?"

At this point, Demon Claw Girl lowered her head in worry.

After hesitating for a moment, she looked at her toes and said.

"I know Madeline is not that easy to deal with. If she really doesn't agree, then... it's okay for me to wait a little longer."

"No, it would be great if that's all, dear..."

Hearing the words of the Claw Girl, the locomotive rubbed his face with more self-blame.

The Claw Girl has been with him for a long time, and during this period, the Claw Girl has always hoped to make her relationship with the locomotive public.

But the locomotive told her that he had already started negotiations with Madeline, the vice president of the Water Group.

But in fact, he didn't dare to meet Madeline at all!

The identity of the Super Seven should be glamorous, bright, great, free, and attractive in the eyes of anyone.

But only those who really joined the Seven really know what a terrible place it is!

Especially now, with the appearance of the ancestors, it has become even more terrible!

But even if there were no ancestors in the past, the people of the motherland were already scary enough, and Madeline had the full support of the people of the motherland.

So, the locomotive didn't dare to do anything that might make Madeline dissatisfied.

It is true that he messed around with other heroes and did a lot of dirty things, but Madeline didn't care about those dirty things, she only cared about her approval rating!

Doing bad things behind the scenes will not affect your approval rating, but making your relationship public will really lead to a decrease in your approval rating.

So the locomotive didn't dare, he really didn't dare! ! !

Thinking of this, the locomotive took a deep breath.

He suddenly felt that maybe leaving the Super Seven was not a bad thing.

He hugged his girl tightly and whispered in her ear.

"Sorry, dear, I... I was ordered to quit the Super Seven!"

"What? How could you...???

"I know, I know you must be surprised, but I promise it's not my fault!

I will explain it to you, believe me, the Super Seven has changed, and it's very dangerous there now!"

At this point, the locomotive pulled his lover into the room and explained everything that had happened to the claw girl as quickly as possible.

After learning the whole story from the locomotive, the claw woman nodded dully, and then grabbed the locomotive's hand.

"You mean, you broke your bones many times today, and even relied on No. 5 to recover?

And even the people of the motherland... God, he is so terrible, how could such a strong person suddenly appear!"

As she spoke, the claw woman shook her head regretfully, and then gently hugged her lover.

"Okay, dear, don't be depressed.

Since the super seven-man tower has become so dangerous, it is a good thing to withdraw.

We haven't celebrated anything for a long time, so, do you remember what my fried Wellington tastes like?"

"Wait, dear, you are not... not disappointed?"

Looking at the claw woman who seemed to be fine, the locomotive widened his eyes in disbelief.

Facing the locomotive's surprise, the claw woman smiled slightly and said.

"Why do you think I should be disappointed? Disappointed that you have become a fourth-tier hero like me?

Don't forget, when I first met you, you hadn't joined the Super Seven yet.

Since you joined there, you seem to have changed, and even I have changed.

I have always been worried that I am no longer worthy of you, which is why I asked you to make our relationship public!"

Speaking of this, the demon claw girl held the train head's face and then kissed him heavily.

After a bite, the claw girl smiled and threw herself into his arms, and continued.

"This is a good thing, dear, my beloved you are back.

Although our life will become much more difficult, it will not be worse. I can also take some movies to supplement my livelihood, and I don't have to worry about it will have a negative impact on your support rate.

You can also form a group with me, and we can go to other smaller cities to register superheroes and live a stable life.

God, you obviously quit the Seven, but our life seems to be normal!

Or, let's call your family and invite them to our house for a party!

Just celebrate that you, a child from Brooklyn, have returned to your family!"

"Good idea!!!"

The locomotive was so excited that he couldn't help himself. The disappointment he thought he had never appeared in his family.

When he thought he was successful, he blindly asked his family to be proud of him.

But when he was actually down and out, he actually didn't lose his family's love for him.

Just like that, a few minutes later, the locomotive hung up his brother's phone with a smile on his face.

Their family will come to the party soon.

The locomotive guessed that his brothers must be worried that he would be upset, and it was not until this moment that he felt lucky for the first time that he had these brothers.

But just when he and the claw girl were happily frying steak together...

Dongdongdong!

There was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Haha, don't tease me, dear, it must be your brother, you go to greet him."

Hearing the knock on the door, the claw girl pushed the locomotive's mischievous hand away, and then asked the locomotive to open the door.

The locomotive obediently came to the door, but when he pushed the door open with a smile...

"Damn, invisible man, why are you here!!!"

After cursing in astonishment, the locomotive's whole heart trembled, he knew too well the significance of the invisible man's appearance.

Because the locomotive himself had done similar dirty work for his countrymen in the past, that is... killing the whole family!

However, facing the fearful and hateful eyes of the locomotive, the invisible man just raised his hand weakly.

"Don't worry, Lucky, I'm not here to kill anyone.

On the contrary, I'm here to tell you two good news!"

"What news?!"

The locomotive looked at the invisible man warily, he didn't believe anything the invisible man said.

In the vigilance of the locomotive, the invisible man sneered and said.

"As you can see, I'm no longer a member of the Super Seven. Is this the first good news?"

"Then what?" The locomotive continued to ask nervously.

Facing the locomotive's question, the invisible man patted the locomotive's shoulder unhappily.

"I was forced to withdraw, so naturally someone needs to rejoin.

Locomotive, congratulations, you are a member of the Super Seven again, isn't this good news?"

"Thank you so much!!!"

The locomotive was heartbroken for a while...
