The atmosphere in the living room was so awkward that Superboy couldn't stand here either. He glanced at his parents, turned and walked to the basement where he lived, leaving only one sentence:
"I've eaten outside, so I'm going back to my room first."
As he left quickly, Su Ming could hear the sound of relief coming from behind. The couple were obviously glad that they had escaped danger.
Walking into the basement, Deathstroke showed his figure and closed the door behind him, while Superboy reached out and turned on the light, indicating to the man to find a place to sit.
Clark usually lives in the basement. There is a small window on the upper edge of one side of the wall, which can let in a little light, but obviously not much. It feels like a prison.
However, the furnishings and layout here are good. There is a bed with good wood materials and many bookshelves filled with comic books and superhero figures. It is an ideal castle for comic book geeks.
"Oh, it's true, Deathstroke, you've seen them look like this, what should I do?"
Superboy fished out an express mail package from under the bed with some distress, tore open its packaging, took out the figures mailed inside, and found a place to put them on the bookshelf:
"They look at me now like I'm looking at a monster, and I can't communicate with them at all."
"Indeed, I found something." Su Ming took out a cigarette and gestured. After getting permission from the owner of the room, he lit the cigarette: "Your mother is not Martha, and your father is not Jonathan. They are the same as those on Earth 0."
The two of them look nothing alike."
"Yes and no. When I was young, even before I awakened my superpowers, I thought this was an interesting coincidence."
Clark, rubbing his hands together, sat down at the table and turned on the lamp. There was a half-painted Superman figure on the table. He looked at the little toy in trance:
"My mother's maiden name was Naomi Martha Kraken, and my father's name was Jerison Jonas Kent. By the way, my girlfriend's name was Laurie, and she and Louise from Earth 0
She looks nothing like Si, but she is a trainee reporter."
At this point, Superboy became a little angry again, because he felt that the people in the DC editorial department were making fun of him.
"Well, no wonder." Su Ming nodded, found a chair and sat down to smoke. Before the Holy Jar War started, he still had some time to read the comics collected by Superboy: "If it was Martha, she would definitely not
He will be afraid of his own son."
"My mother is no worse than Superman's mother." Superboy obviously disagreed with Deathstroke's words. Although his mother was a little timid, he believed that his parents loved him.
"It seems that you have done some thinking during the years you were trapped on the wall of origin." Su Ming smiled. He took a copy of "The Collision of Heaven and Earth" from the bookshelf and flipped through it.
Captain Carrot couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "As long as you believe this, everything will be fine when our plan starts."
"Yes, I was deceived by Luther's bald head before and turned into a knife in his hand, but this does not mean that I will lose my feelings, nor does it mean that I will give up thinking."
Superboy received Deathstroke's assurance again. He felt much more relaxed. He picked up the figures and brushes on the table and began to continue his coloring project. However, after he painted two strokes, he asked again:
"When the war starts, how will I behave? Those actors"
"The reason why superheroes exist requires super villains. There are no super-powered villains in your world, so I can only use my new product at home - the advanced combat bionic man to act out some for you."
Saying these words, Su Ming blew out a smoke ring and turned another page of the comic book:
"So just act according to the script. You can kill the actors as you like. Each high-end android costs about 120 US dollars. It's nothing to me. After all, our friendship is priceless."
Hearing what he said, Superboy was very moved. He bit his lower lip and nodded vigorously:
"Thank you, Slade, you are my best friend."
"Do you have a photo of Laurie? Show it to me. The adjutant wants to add her to the white list to avoid any accidental harm." Su Ming smiled and waved his hand, indicating that the young man was welcome and there was no need to speak so disgustingly.
Let’s get down to business.
"Yes, I have a photo of her." As he said that, Superboy opened the drawer on the table, took out a beautiful photo frame, and carefully handed it to Deathstroke: "Look, she matches me well, right?"
This is a group photo of the two of them, but it is obviously not a recent photo, but was taken when they were 17 or 18 years old.
Superboy awakened his superpowers when he was fifteen years old. Later, he experienced many things, including the explosion of the Origin Earth, his participation in multiverse-level disputes, and then being tricked, defeated, sealed into the Origin Wall, etc.
He is only in his early twenties this year.
"She is very beautiful and looks familiar." Su Ming commented. The girl in this photo looks nothing like Louise, but her temperament and eyes are just like Louise.
Carved from a mold.
But unfortunately, her attitude towards Superboy is completely different from Lois' attitude towards Superboy.
However, it is understandable. After all, the gap between the Origin Earth and Earth 0 is still quite large. The latter has a complete superhero system and organization. Diana debuted during World War I. Since then, people have basically accepted super heroes.
The existence of heroes.
At that time, recruitment posters showing Xiao Dai holding up a German tank were posted everywhere in the UK, with the words "Goddess of Victory Fighting Side by Side with Us" written in big letters. People's perception of her was very positive from the beginning, which also made people think of her later.
Superheroes are more acceptable.
But the Origin Earth is different. This is an ordinary world with only one superpower, Superboy, so he becomes an alien.
He did some good things after gaining superpowers, but DC Comics drew all the things he did, published and sold them everywhere, directly exposing his identity.
Some readers came to Superboy's house after seeing the comic and took a look. Holy shit, it's exactly the same as in the comic. It's all real!
After the news spread, the more powerful he appeared, the more fearful people became. Just seeing the performances of Superboy-Prime in the comics, people were scared to death. They were afraid that one day he would be unhappy and they would act on a whim.
Crush the earth to burst.
This is scarier than sleeping with a nuclear bomb. People just feel that their future is precarious.
But even so, Superboy's parents still dare to let him live at home, which is considered very loving and courageous. It is normal to tremble. People cannot fight against their biological instincts all the time.
Facing powerful creatures, we instinctively feel fear. This is something engraved in human DNA.
"Yes, but the last time she saw me, she screamed and ran away." Superboy smiled bitterly. He took back the photo frame and touched the woman in the photo: "Compared to my parents, hers
