The Knights of the DC House

Chapter 16 Preparations Before Leaving Earth

The winter in the south is really poisonous. I can't feel my hand when writing, and even my thinking has stopped.

In the Fortress of Solitude, when Clark and his son Jonathan Jr. were still acting like a loving father and a filial son because of the seniority issue between father and son, Ke Wen, who left the Fortress of Solitude, also lay down on the sofa after returning to his office.

He was resting. But within a moment of closing his eyes, he sat up in shock. His wide eyes also showed how uneasy he felt at this time, because he finally realized what happened during his chat with Clark just now.

Something is wrong!

"I should understand what Doomsday is. I am a being born in the new universe and have no memory of the old universe at all. Also, he knows very well that the International Justice League and the Justice League are two independent organizations, so he chose me to be the speaker.

Human? No, my identity as a traveler from another universe has been exposed?!"

Thinking back to the conversation he had with Clark just now, Ke Wen, who had come back to his senses at this time, also understood why he felt something was wrong. Because in and out of the words, Clark was sure that he understood Doomsday, the old enemy destined to kill Superman.

What was going on, and I hadn't turned a corner at that time, Clark led me to talk about many topics, such as the comparison of the number of Justice League members in the old and new universes, and the comparison of the number of Teen Titans.

It's not that I can't say that. In the storm of rebirth of old universe memories caused by the deceased old 52 Wally, Ke Wen, who was at the center of the storm, naturally received these memories. But if you only talk to Clark through this memory

, then the words he used in the conversation with Clark just now should be, in the old universe memory I obtained, about Doomsday, about the Justice League and the Titans...

The sentence structure should be like this, but he is not. He just completely inserts himself into it and explains it all from the perspective of an observer. On the one hand, this is a portrayal of his complete integration into this new DC multiverse.

On the other hand, such a tone would make people mistakenly think that he was present at the time, but Ke Wen is a life born in the new universe, how could he be active in the old 52 universe era.

Unless he saw all this from other ways, such as crossing the fourth wall, his story existed in the real world written by others and in picture books. If it were anyone else, Ke Wen would not think so, but Clark is not someone else.

, he is Superman. In the past several reboots of the universe, he has not done anything to break the fourth wall and talk to the DC editorial department. So with his way of thinking and cognitive scope, he can talk to Ke Wen in this way.

, it is not unreasonable to determine the true origin of Ke Wen.

But when Ke Wen thought of this, he became entangled for no reason.

It's not that he can't accept the fact that Clark knows that he is a time traveler. The people he knows are not stupid people, they are all a group of top elites. If you compare them to a pack of wolves, then he is a person who blends into the pack.

, he has the power of a wolf, but in essence he is just a husky, and from time to time he deviates from the style of the entire wolf pack.

But when it came to time-travelers, he originally thought that he should be the one to confess. However, during the conversation with Clark, he felt that he was being tricked, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect that after losing his power, Clark's IQ and speaking skills skyrocketed. It's a bit embarrassing."

Scratching his head, Ke Wen also muttered to himself. After reacting, he was no longer so nervous. At least he didn't think Clark would reveal the secret of being a time traveler immediately. Of course, among some people,

In my heart, Ke Wen’s secret as a time traveler is no longer a secret. People are just waiting for Ke Wen to confess.

Ke Wen never thought that before he left the earth and went to the universe to find inspiration, he would have to deal with such a bunch of messy things. It had nothing to do with fighting, but all the preparations made before the start of this new era.

He had no objection to Clark's proposal of the International Justice League, a top superhero organization from all over the world, which indeed seemed to be more convincing than the Justice League.

"Well, there is still a long way to go. Let's think about how to convince the Ministry of Self-Strength of China. If they don't express their stance, isn't this International Justice League just like a joke?"

Shaking his head, Ke Wen lay down on the sofa again, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, and fell asleep again. It was already December, and the weather was so cold. Even with a superhuman physique, he was immune to cold and heat, but the cold was mild.

In this state of heat, sometimes it depends not on one's body but one's state of mind. He feels that in this kind of weather, he should eat hot pot and sing at home, wrap up tightly in quilts and catch up on TV dramas. Finally, the whole world is in harmony.

If you're in a bad state, don't do so many things for yourself.

But things are unpredictable. Now everyone, including Ke Wen, is preparing for the arrival of a new era, but secretly, there are also people who don't want this new era to arrive.

Kansas, the hometown of the Luther family, Lena, who left Nazionale City and returned to her hometown family manor, looked at this manor that she had left in her childhood and never returned with emotion.

Wanqian. On the night when Ke Wen and Kara confirmed their relationship, as an insider, she had already guessed the result, but as she said at the time, it was impossible for her to treat it as if nothing happened.

Nasino City, she would be very embarrassed if she stayed in a city and didn't look up or down at ordinary times.

And when she had the idea of ​​leaving for a while, by coincidence, the housekeeper in charge of taking care of her hometown manor called her, saying that her mother, who had been away from home for many years, was back. In addition to being surprised, Lena had to

With a sigh, she really got what she wanted. She was still thinking of an excuse to leave Nasino City for a while. The excuse came. She went back to her hometown to visit her mother. This excuse was perfect and impeccable. She wanted to stay here.

Stay as long as you want.

After taking a long breath, Lena also let out the depression caused by the confirmation of Ke Wen and Kara's relationship in the past few days. Then she got out of the car and entered her manor as the housekeeper welcomed her. The memory of this manor was also there.

appear in one's own mind.

She and her brother, Lex Luthor, are the children of the late business tycoon Leonard Luthor, and her mother, Leticia Luthor, was a popular socialite at the time.

He can be regarded as a high-class person. There is no romantic love story about the marriage of his parents. It is purely about getting what they need. In addition, his mother was beautiful at the time, and his father was greedy for his mother's body. With his worth and status, as long as he is willing to work hard,

It was a natural thing for his mother to marry his father.

But at that time, the Luthers had no idea how legendary their son and daughter would be. His brother, Lex Luthor, was a genius in the true sense of the word.

Everything about himself as a genius has been displayed. Those prodigies published in newspapers and so on, Lena does not think that he is any better than her brother. And although she was born after him, although she is also a genius, she is not as good as her brother.

, it is still a bit inferior.

As long as Lena can remember, her family life has been relatively harmonious. Although her parents did not have many emotional factors, they did fulfill their responsibilities as parents after they had children. As for her brother's genius, her father

He did not publicize too much, but did his best to cultivate Lex with all resources. Even when he was ten years old, the so-called knowledge education was no longer useful, and Lex was already able to impart to him the knowledge currently explored by mankind.

absorbed.

The rest should be used to cultivate his own morality and character. These are the most important things that determine his brother's life. In Lena's memory, whether it is her father or mother,

, all educated his brother very well in this aspect, and his brother also took good care of her, his sister who was born fifteen years after him. In Lex's view, this sister made his childhood life feel less lonely.

The reason is, after all, as a smart person, you cannot ask him to play with ordinary children.

When he tells his peers that the earth is round and that there is definitely a civilization more advanced than the earth in the universe, he will ask you backhand, does Ultraman exist? You tell him about scientific principles, and he tells you about his childhood.

We can't talk about fantasy together. My sister has the same outstanding wisdom as me. Isn't this more exciting than talking about Ultraman!

At least in Lena's memory, this is what Lex thinks and how he cultivated himself, because only geniuses know how to cultivate geniuses, and because he is a girl, Lex does not treat him as harshly as his father.

When he was tired of studying and didn't want to study anymore, he would let himself relax. Everything was so harmonious until one day, his father passed away without any warning, and his mother was too sad and wanted to control it.

The reason for the business empire left behind by his father.

She also gradually disappeared from her and Lex's lives, just letting the housekeeper and nanny take care of herself. After all, Lex was an adult and could take over the business empire left by his father. The memories were interrupted here, because Lena was recalling the past.

, she always felt that something was wrong. It was true that Lex doted on her, but the sudden death of her father, the departure of her mother, and even Lex's success under his parents' training, these beautiful memories made her instinctively feel

Somewhat false.

Especially when she became an adult, whenever she recalled the past or had an argument with her brother, she instinctively felt that if she had followed the way her parents raised Lex in her memory, Lex should not be so extreme in many things, or should not be so extreme.

Human nature, this shouldn't be the case, but what is wrong? Lena couldn't figure it out. Just when Lena felt strange again because of the discrepancy between her memories and reality, a familiar voice came down the stairs.

"Isn't this our genius little princess who went home so soon after knowing that her mother was back?"

"Mother?"

Following the sound, a well-maintained lady who was 60 years old but looked about 40 years old was standing on the stairs, looking at herself with a smile.

······

Metropolis, Lex's corporate headquarters, had previously held a meeting with Clark and confirmed that after Clark became president, Lex, who worked in the President's Office of Science and Technology and Technology Advisor, was livid at this time, listening to himself and Clark (former Superman)

Lex's son, Connor Kent, made a report. Lex did not treat this cloned Superboy as a so-called tool, with half of his genes provided by himself and Clark each, and created through his wisdom and technology.

It was indeed training him. When the Illuminati was at odds with the Justice League in the early stages, they neither asked Connor to be a so-called spy nor did they ask him to do anything that went against universal values ​​and moral values. Instead, they allowed him to be a human being.

Individuals live independently and have their own lives.

So for his two fathers, Connor, as his son, after learning the truth, really didn't want to see the two of them turning against each other and taking action because he didn't know who to help. But fortunately, as various things happened,

Apart from disliking each other and bickering, there was no more drama like before. Not long ago, on the night when Kara and Ke Wen confirmed their relationship, Connor was also a member of the crowd, and he was not sure about the relationship between his friends.

He couldn't say anything against it.

But for Lena, who was also present and nominally his aunt, he couldn't just sit back and watch, even if Lena said that she just needed to relax and relax. Reasonably and rationally, he felt that he should talk to his father, Lake

Luthor explained the situation. Obviously, he underestimated how much his father valued his sister. At this time, Lex, after listening to Connor's pertinent and non-personal feelings report, with one force, he

He held this valuable pen in his hand in two parts.

He stood up and paced back and forth in front of his desk. The veins were already bulging on his shiny forehead, one after another. Then he aimed at a training sandbag next to the desk and kicked the sandbag directly with a side kick.

He moved more than ten meters laterally. This move alone is enough to show that Lex is also a good hand in fighting.

"Did he really say that?"

"Um, yes, father, I think all three of us are right about this matter. Compared to this, I think you need to be more concerned about Lena's situation."

Looking at Lex's red eyes, looking like a madman who wanted to kill, Connor suddenly felt that it was a wrong choice for him to come here to report this report. This would not lead to another fight with his other father. Now Clark is back to normal.

Judging from the human situation, if these two fight, it's really hard to say who will lose and who will win.

"You don't have to worry about it anymore. Children don't have to interfere in adults' affairs!"

Lex, who was in a state of anger, also responded angrily. For a moment, Connor was speechless, because according to the biological age of his birth, he was indeed a minor, but his brain and appearance were more anxious.

"Can···"

Before Connor finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Lex again, "Don't say the rest, just take care of yourself and maintain the order of Metropolis. As Superboy, or this paragraph

It’s enough for Superman to be active during this period. Go back first and let me calm down for a while.”

Looking at the swaying sandbag that was still shaken by Lex's side kick just now, Connor couldn't complain and said, "You call this calm?" But a son can't bite his father's mouth. Connor just sighed and left.

He left the office. Not far out, he heard the sounds of various smashings in the office, as well as Lex's furious yelling.

"Oh, Ke Wen, I can't help it. Sooner or later, my father will know about this, and you will have to face it sooner or later. You should die early and be reborn."

After praying for Ke Wen, who didn't know the danger was coming, Connor left. In the office, Lex, who had turned the heavily decorated office into a garbage dump, sat on the ground and panted. He found something that could be smashed.

After being smashed by himself, Lex sighed helplessly, and his whole body changed from the anger just now to a frowning face.

As Connor said, this matter is purely a matter between Ke Wen, Kara, and Lena. As a brother, he cannot interfere, otherwise he will be embarrassed, and Lena, but if it is treated like this

Nothing happened, I'm sorry. Lex's alignment from the beginning was not lawful good, but lawful evil, a pure earthist. If Superman hadn't voluntarily given up his power, he would have used Clark Kent's

With his identity active in front of him, he might cause something else to happen.

"Damn it, you bastard bastard, there's no way Lena can compare to that Kryptonian girl, damn! You don't even know what the smartest person in the world is like unless I teach you a lesson!"

While Lex was cursing, his secretary, Mariko, also contacted him on the phone.

"What's the matter, Mariko?"

"Mr. Lex, a guest comes to see you. He says his name is Vandal Savage. You will meet him."

Lex, who was in anger, was also stunned by Savage's sudden visit. Savage came to him at this time. Is there any movement on Apokolips? He has been monitoring the Darkseid war and has not made any move.

Apokolips. Thinking of this, Lex also frowned and said directly: "Let him come in, he can be alone."

"yes."

Soon, the office door opened, and Savage came in with his hands behind his back. Looking at the messy office, Savage also raised his eyebrows.

"Stop guessing, it has nothing to do with you, it's just about that damn Kamen Rider. It's a private matter. Just find a place to sit. Why are you looking for me? Is Apokolips planning to cause trouble?" Lex greeted angrily.

Still sitting there sulking.

But Savage didn't sit down, he just stood there and said directly: "Oh, I came to you, it has nothing to do with Apokolips, but it is related, probably like this, if you don't talk to me next

Lies."

"When did you start saying such ambiguous things? You have something to say. I'm in a bad mood right now. Are you drinking?"

He stood up, took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, and ignored Savage's words about whether to drink or not. They each had a glass, and after passing it to Savage, they turned their backs to Savage and looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows to drink alone.

.

Looking at the wine in his glass, Savage also replied: "I don't like to say such ambiguous things, but I'm not sure yet, but you have to answer me so that I can determine whether there is something wrong with Apokolips or...

There's something wrong with you."

"Say!" Lex said impatiently.

"Do you still remember what I asked you last time? During the godhead experimental war initiated by Darkseid, you returned to Earth from Apokolips as the God of Apokolips. So the question is, how did you get to Apokolips?

,Now, you can answer me, Lex Luthor."

After Savage said his purpose, Lex, who was drinking with his back to Savage, also fell silent. He, who was still angry just now, put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at himself in the mirror, angry and painful.

The expressions were intertwined on his face, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. And through the reflection of the glass window, Savage also understood that he had come to the right place!
