Martin Variety in American Comics

"Of course no problem!"

Clark agreed immediately. He didn't think he couldn't answer a few questions.

"If we agree with your proposal now, what are you going to do next?"

Bruce didn't embarrass Clark, but just asked a normal question.

Clark was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "The first step is of course to expose these crimes, expose these crimes through the media, and create a public opinion offensive."

Alas!

Bruce sighed. From this answer, it can be seen that Clark is too superstitious about the power of public opinion and overestimates the morality of American citizens.

Thinking of this, he changed the question he prepared at the beginning.

"If, I mean if your public opinion offensive is successful, people in the White House have a reaction, want to thoroughly investigate the matter, and ask us to provide evidence. Will you give it?"

"Of course I will give it, otherwise how can I bring those people to justice!" Clark answered without hesitation.

Bruce nodded: "The White House has set up an investigation task force and asked the alliance to send people to join, so that they can contact at any time."

Clark looked at Bruce's calm appearance, and always had a creepy feeling in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

After thinking for a while, he still focused on answering questions.

"I agree to send someone to join the task force to keep an eye on that group of people and prevent them from making any moves."

Bruce still looked calm: "Although the process of searching for information encountered trouble, it continued as usual. Every time the task force spoke as a group, the government released a lot of data."

"People are used to seeing the Justice League and this task force as departments of the same level, and think that we are subordinates of the US government."

"We can clarify or act separately."

This is the problem that Clark can never solve.

Or, he never wanted to confront the government from the beginning, so he naturally wouldn't consider this aspect.

This is also the biggest disagreement between him and Martin.

He always felt that he could continue to cooperate with the government, and the two could find a balance.

"Instead of spending this effort, it's better not to participate in this matter from the beginning."

Bruce suddenly overturned Clark's inference from the source.

"We can spread these crimes anonymously, and then use our own connections to secretly add fuel to the flames, and finally achieve the same effect."

"Without our participation, the government will definitely cover up the crimes that occurred in overseas bases. How can the final result be the same?"

Clark felt that Bruce was simply talking nonsense.

Bruce showed a mocking smile on his face: "What a naive idea, you actually think that after we intervene, the bastards on Capitol Hill will suddenly become fair and just?"

Bruce's mockery was as powerful as ever, leaving Clark speechless for a while.

Barry smelled the smell of gunpowder, and his head lay directly on the table, and he used both hands to surround his head, like an ostrich.

Suddenly, the voices of questioning and answering disappeared, and he carefully raised his head a little, revealing his eyes: "Is it over?"

"Of course not, keep your head down. If I don't say it, don't raise it"

Martin pressed Barry's head down, and Barry said obediently, closed his eyes and began to sleep.

Martin took over Bruce's baton and said to Clark: "Overseas bases are a powerful weapon to protect the interests of the United States. Even if we don't mention the money involved, Capitol Hill will not let this system fall.

Whether we expose the crimes of overseas bases publicly or anonymously, the only ones who will suffer in the end are some soldiers or officers at the level of lieutenants and colonels. And those people may even retire with honor."

Martin has no good feelings towards the US military. That thing is a pure violent machine. There is nothing else except discipline.

"This is a serious accusation. Martin, are you hinting at something?"

Clark didn't know how to react. Martin's blunt words were more offensive than Bruce's sarcasm.

"I never hint at anything. My meaning is very clear. If you want to really eradicate those crimes, the only way is for the Americans to withdraw their troops. Why do they set up military camps on other people's land?"

Martin did not hide anything and spoke his mind directly.

"But doing so is a naked interference in the internal affairs of the United States, which will bring him hatred."

"Oh my God!"

"Clark, are you kidding me?"

"Man, are you awake?"

"Kal-El, you are such a naive fool."

After Clark said this, he was unanimously opposed by four people except Barry.

Even Jor-El, the artificial intelligence, couldn't help shaking his head after hearing his son's stupid words.

"Power is like the balls dangling under the genitals. There are only two possibilities: touch or not touch. There is no such thing as touching a little bit. In the eyes of those bastards on Capitol Hill, there is no difference between you disliking the discussion of the crimes and wanting the US troops to withdraw to the country."

Bruce was really helpless with this boy scout. He had a shallow understanding of the operating mechanism of power.

In order to make him sober up, Bruce directly used a vulgar but easy-to-understand metaphor.

"What's worse is that you never thought about how the Justice League would stand if this plan failed."

Martin started to accuse Clark directly, pointing out the problem.

Diana continued, "Just today, we attracted thousands of young superhumans, including hundreds of young people who wanted to join us."

"Before this, it didn't matter what you did. If you failed, you could just run away. But now we are responsible for those hundreds of children. If we fail, they will have no choice but to go home."

"Those children will be ruined with us, or even die without a burial place. Have you considered this?"

Clark certainly didn't consider it. No matter which identity he was, he had never experienced real collective life, and naturally he had no way to think about things he had never seen before.

After being questioned by Martin, Bruce, and Diana in turn, he realized that he had thought too little.

Bang!

Clark sat dejectedly in the chair, as if he was hit.

"Let's stop here for today's meeting!"

Martin clapped his hands and announced the end of the meeting.

In fact, there should have been a voting link at the end, but Clark was so frustrated that the result was obvious, and there was no need to stimulate him again.

"Do you need me to take you back?"

Martin wanted to talk to Clark and help him resolve some of his inner problems.

"No, thank you. I'll sleep in the Fortress of Solitude tonight and calm down."

Martin patted his shoulder, left the hall and walked towards the apron.

Clark is not a child. Although this kind of shattered fantasy is not easy for him, he can always get through it.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

"Wake up, you fell asleep in less than a minute?"

Before leaving the hall, Martin woke up Barry and took him up from the table.

"Don't come to me for this kind of thing in the future. Just inform me of any decision you have made."

Barry complained a little.

"We don't have enough manpower. One person has to replace several people. Don't think about running away before the situation eases."

Martin put one hand around Barry's shoulder and gestured to others to leave first.

Barry didn't notice this little move, but complained to Martin: "It's okay for me to work, but it's too difficult for me to make decisions. I'm still young and inexperienced, and I can't bear such responsibilities."

Martin smiled and didn't continue the topic.

It's certainly easy to be able to never take responsibility, but no one can escape.

"Speaking of which, what's Dr. Harrison like recently? So many things happened in Los Angeles, I thought he would come to help."

Martin deliberately pulled Barry, and the two fell behind a lot.

Barry shook his head slightly: "The doctor's condition is not good. His health is getting worse day by day, and he doesn't even work in the Star Lab very often."

"This is not good news. Didn't you check Dr. Harrison?"

Martin heard the sound of two planes taking off and stopped deliberately slowing down.

When they arrived at the tarmac, the Bat Fighter and the invisible plane flew away.

"It seems that I have to take your express train."

Martin bumped Barry.

"It's my honor. There are not many opportunities to help Martin."

Barry deliberately made a salute to Martin, which attracted Martin's big eye roll.

"Stop playing tricks, let's go. I haven't experienced the power of the Speed ​​Force yet."

Barry raised his right hand, and the lightning ring on his hand popped out a uniform. He changed his clothes in an instant. Ordinary clothes could not withstand the energy brought by the high Speed ​​Force.

When he ran for the first time, his clothes were burned to ashes.

After changing into the uniform, he jumped and said, "You ran faster than me before?"

"That time was pure speed, and it had nothing to do with the Speed ​​Force."

Martin waved his hand and clarified the matter.

"Well, I will let you experience the specialness of the Speed ​​Force today."

Barry was full of confidence, and his hand began to vibrate at high speed, placed on Martin's shoulder, and the yellow current spread to him.

In an instant, the speed of matter around Martin slowed down, and the whole world seemed to stop. Everything was stretching, even the sound disappeared, and only the light was still running normally.

Barry dragged Martin and moved forward at a high speed, leaving the North Pole in an instant.

Despite such a speed, Barry's running did not cause any damage to the surrounding weapons.

The Speed ​​Force is so wonderful.

Barry wanted to show Martin the wonders of the speed force, so he kept running so fast that even the light began to distort.

Martin shook his wrist gently, and the "Cronus's Time Chain" on his wrist began to flow, affecting the flow of time through the speed force, and the past and the future began to move around Barry.

"Wait, wait, something is wrong, I feel it, I must stop immediately."

Barry looked at the time nodes that kept flashing around him, and his heart was panicked.

At this time, he had not experienced time travel. Although he had heard similar introductions from Martin, he was still panicked when he encountered it for the first time.
