Which one is better if the officials are forced to die together [Comprehensive British and American]

Bruce was the first to know what Lex was up to.

Dick, who had to go back to Gotham with a grudge after the weekend was over, was second.

Of course, since they all knew about it, Alfred took the third place without hesitation.

The specific reactions of the three people are not the same.

Bruce: "..."

Dick: "I simply don't know what Luther is thinking! Can his thoughts be more clear? No, no, no, it's nothing. I don't think it's strange that he has any thoughts, but he has to consider Carl's opinion, right? It’s not something that can be decided unilaterally!”

Alfred: "It's lunchtime, sir, Master Richard."

Bruce was the first to look away from the screen of the phone, and he walked to the dining table first, and Dick followed reluctantly while muttering, trying to get Bruce's attention all the way, wanting to hear Bruce's words view.

It wasn't until after lunch that Bruce stingily gave his opinion.

"Just mind your own business, Dick," he said lightly. "Didn't you just have a fight with Barbara?"

"..." Dick suddenly died down, speechless.

Tony was next to receive the message.

He usually doesn't pay attention to the news, whether it's the entertainment edition, the economic edition or anything else. At most, he just flips through scientific magazines, and he doesn't necessarily pay attention.

But his best smart housekeeper, Jarvis, will never miss such news. If in the past he could only extract news keywords according to Tony’s settings, then Jarvis is now smart enough to compare this matter with Carl connected - he made a point of red-flagging the news and pushing it to Tony.

And so, after Tony stumbled out of his bedroom, slammed himself onto the couch in a hangover headache, and absentmindedly opened his to-do list, the news crashed into his eyeball.

"...Damn it..." He was so frightened that he woke up from the wine, and read the news three times in a row for the first time.

After making sure that he read it correctly, that it was not fake news, and that he was not in the dream, Tony's first reaction was to call Carl.

Ask Carl if he knows what Luther did, ask Carl how he is feeling now, ask him how he plans to deal with it, and no matter what he answers, he will sternly warn him that he must not soften his heart, and there are a lot of long-winded complaints and all kinds of things. All kinds of complaints...

"Hello?" Carl's voice came from the other end of the phone, relaxed and comfortable.

The laughter of children, the rustling of leaves in the strong wind, and the chirping of birds one after another... The rich background sounds echoed in Tony's ears, almost allowing him to imagine a beautiful scene by hearing. scene.

"Hiding back to the country again?" Tony's irritability was strangely soothed.

"I'm just taking care of the kids at home." Carl said seriously, "Being a father for the first time is still a bit unskilled, so I called Dick too. In this way, no matter how I perform, with Bruce as the base, Connor will definitely Think I'm the best daddy in the world."

"...you are such a clever little ghost." Tony was convinced.

"Where is it?" Carl said modestly, "It's still not as good as Nini, you announced that you are Iron Man-this feat is hard to surpass."

"So, what are your plans?"

"I have no plans." Carl's voice still sounded so relaxed. "I know you are all worried, but my situation is not bad. I'm just a little... confused. Maybe it's because I'm confused, but I can't tell."

"I understand," Tony said from the bottom of his heart.

Carl smiled: "Mutual understanding is the key to being friends, dear Nini."

"I just wanted to ask how you're doing, and since you sound good, I think I'll get the good news that 'Superman is back' soon."

"Of course," Carl said, "of course."

"By the way, you haven't followed the news recently, have you?"

"No." Carl said absently, "Maybe I played too much a while ago, and now the world is talking about Lex, Superman and me-to be honest, I was having fun playing by myself, but everyone After the swarm came, things got messed up, there were baseless rumors everywhere, malicious speculation everywhere. I can't be bothered to go on, let them play on their own."

"Fine." Tony said vaguely.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately contacted all of Carl's friends he knew, trying his best to force them not to tell Carl what Luther was doing recently.

Karl would find out sooner or later, but as late as possible, wouldn't it?

After all, this is a drama of two people. If the other party keeps silent, doesn't show up, and doesn't express any opinions, one person's one-man show will not last long.

Under such an information blockade, coupled with Karl's intentional refusal to watch the news, he indeed lived a rather leisurely life with a baby.

Connor's class was suspended for a while, because Carl heard that during these two years, he hadn't missed winter and summer vacations at all, and he didn't even have weekend breaks in the normal sense-he immediately forgave Connor's truancy, and gave Connor made a new class schedule.

Winter and summer vacations have been added, but during this period, you still have to accept Alexander's distance education, and there are no classes on weekends, and you can arrange your time freely after finishing your homework.

Connor didn't show how happy he was.

He seems to be used to such a high-intensity schedule.

But another reason may also be that his new teachers are fun.

"Mr. Morning Star is the funniest," he said. "He always has lots and lots of hell stories."

"He not only has hell stories, but also angel stories." Carl said, "I originally wanted to invite Constantine...but he has offended a lot of people recently, so I won't bother with it."

"Is he really a demon?"

"Depends on what you think of the 'demon' image. If you're asking about race, yes; if you're asking about character, no."

"He's not as bad as Papa." Connor commented with some disdain, "Is this level considered a devil?"

…I'm sorry, Lucifer, Carl thought with a heavy heart, my son doesn't think you are bad enough, so I will expel you from your demon status.

"Lex isn't really that bad," Carl explained to Connor. "He's neither good nor bad. His character..."

Connor hit the nail on the head: "He's just very selfish."

"...I really can't think of strong evidence to deny your point of view," Carl pulled the corners of his lips, showing a bitter smile, "Sometimes you are really convincing, Xiaokang."

Connor sighed old-fashionedly.

"I can imagine your painful married life." He put his hand on Carl's chest sympathetically, "But it doesn't matter, at least you really love each other when you torture each other."

"...what?" Carl was so startled that he almost flew up. In fact, he started to stutter even if he didn't fly up. "What mess? What marriage, marriage? What... what married life? What are you talking about?"

Connor was also shocked, because he was frightened by Carl's exaggerated reaction: "You, don't you know?"

"what do you know?!"

Carl didn't understand how the topic had gotten to this point.He stared at the bewildered Connor for half a minute, then stood up without saying a word.

"Uh," Connor said, looking in the direction Carl was leaving, "did I say something I shouldn't have said?"

The first thing Carl did when he rushed into the room was to pick up the mobile phone he had thrown on the sofa, open it at the speed of light, and was instantly covered in news.

Supreme Court Declares Same-Sex Marriage Legal Across America.

"The First Couple Has Registered Marriage in the Metropolitan City".

Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage: A Partisan Battle.

The President: Love Will Triumph.

... Carl put down the phone expressionlessly.

Slowly walking behind him, Connor, who had witnessed all his actions, leaned against the door, tilted his head and stared at Carl who was brainstorming:

"Do you want to be alone, daddy?"

"..."

"If you need, I can live elsewhere temporarily." Connor said understandingly, "Dick just invited me to Gotham, and I can reply to him right away."

Carl stared blankly at Connor.

Unreasonable, he thought, unbelievable.

"You all know what he's doing?" he asked in a trance. "Everyone knows, but I don't?"

"I thought you knew." Connor said honestly, "I thought you were just waiting for him to come to you when he was done."

"I don't want to see him, and I don't want to think about what will happen after I meet him. I don't want to argue, and I don't want to be forced to listen to his tirade. Can't I get rid of him for a while?" Carl sighed and lay down on the sofa, "I thought he could take a little longer—"

"His mind is hard to guess." Connor nodded sympathetically.

Carl glanced at Connor, and Connor immediately ran over and threw himself into his arms.

"I thought you were going to tell me 'don't run away, face the problem'." Carl said with his arms around Connor's back.

"Why do you want to persuade you? I don't want to see him, and you didn't make me go." Connor said, "Besides, we all know how unbearable he is. He doesn't have a thing called 'love', he has It's just about controlling and possessing."

"You learned a lot of words."

"I—I'm smart!" Connor raised his voice, "Don't think I'm stupid! I know you think so!"

"If you are really smart enough, Xiaokang, you will understand that some people's love is tolerance, appreciation and dedication, while some people's love is jealousy, disgust and hurt." Connor, "Some people's love is wrong."

The child had blue-green eyes like the tail feathers of a green peacock.

"I know Papa is the latter," Connor said.

"It's worse than that," Carl replied. "Not only does he have a twisted expression of love, but he's also hopelessly powerful—everything that makes him feel dangerous, derailed, and out of control makes him deeply uneasy." , and when he's upset..."

Carl made a complicated gesture, used to indicate the abysmal and indescribable consequences.

"If he's really that bad, why do you still love him so much, and always do?"

"I don't know!" Carl broke down a little. He shook his body irritably, feeling that he shouldn't show negative emotions in front of Connor, but he really felt full of anger and aggrieved, "I don't know! Maybe it's because I know very well Humanity despite his cruelty? Maybe it's because I still have expectations of him? Maybe it's because I just can't hate someone completely?"

"I don't know," he said wearily at last, "maybe because...because every time he breaks my heart, I know I'm going to hurt him more."

"Even though I didn't do anything wrong at all, and his pain was all his own."

"Are you going to promise him?" Connor asked.

"Promise what?" Carl asked back.

"So it was rejected?"

"Reject what?"

"..."

"..."

Connor said: "I will never fall in love in the future."

"I like your determination, Xiaokang." Carl replied, "but don't worry, I will forget what you just said, so that when I grow up, I don't have to give up a bright future for your childish promises when I was a child."

"...it's still early for dinner," Connor said. "Let's go play Lego."
