American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander

"Can I take this as a compliment, old sister, you are so funny, hahahaha!!!"

Donton laughed at Martha's words. While laughing, he picked up the nearest frying pan and naturally blocked it in front of his crotch.

Seeing Donton's actions, Martha smiled kindly at first, and then couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"I really like you calling me old sister. This is the first time I hear this way of addressing. It makes me feel a lot younger.

But young man, our family originally only had two frying pans. Now it's good, there is only one left!"

After the voice fell, Martha patted Clark's arm and reminded Clark.

"Don't worry, take our guest to change clothes.

He looks about the same age as you, maybe a little older than you?

I can't tell the age of Asians. Young man, how old are you this year?"

"Twenty-five, just graduated less than two years ago."

Donton agreed with a smile.

"What about your son? Who is older between us?

By the way, I'm Downton, Downton from Downton Abbey. What about him? What's his name? Clark what?"

"Clark Kent!"

Clark took over Downton's question, and at the same time came to Downton's side and pointed to his bedroom.

"Come with me, I'll take you to change clothes."

"No problem, but what about your age? Why don't you tell me?

I see, it seems that I am indeed a little older than you, little brother, have you graduated from college?"

While following Clark, Downton greeted Clark in a familiar manner.

Faced with Downton's courtesy, Clark responded mechanically.

"I'm twenty-three, although a little younger than you, but I have graduated for two years."

"Oh?"

Downton patted Clark's clothes and teased softly.

"It's been two years since graduation, so what? You're wearing a work uniform from a gas station, right? You're doing this right after graduating from college, so you didn't go to college for nothing."

"I..."

Clark's face was embarrassed. Although this Donton looked kind, he didn't have the bad taste that the military said.

But his mouth... is really annoying!

Clark took a breath in frustration, and then explained to Donton.

"It's not that I can only find a job like that at a gas station, but I prefer to stay near home and take care of my mother.

My family also has a farm, and Martha can't take care of it alone. The job of a gas station attendant is just a part-time job for me after helping on the farm!"

"Oh, then I understand."

Donton nodded in understanding, and then said to Clark earnestly.

"You are relying on your parents, Clark!"

"Huh?"

Clark was confused by what Donton said, and he quickly shook his head.

"How could I possibly rely on my parents? I have already taken on most of the work on the farm, and I can also do odd jobs outside to make money. I definitely don't rely on my parents!"

"Don't get excited, man, I didn't say it's bad to rely on your parents, and what's more, I can't rely on my parents even if I want to, because I can't see my family anymore, Clark."

"Ah this..."

As soon as Donton finished speaking, Clark's face suddenly became embarrassed. He lowered his head slightly, and while he was in the sadness of losing his father, he spoke to Donton with empathy.

"Sorry, Donton, I don't know...

But I can understand you. I also lost my father, and that feeling is really bad.

And you, you lost...all your family?

No wonder..."

At this moment, Clark felt that he understood Donton.

His super brain was running wildly, and he performed a bloody drama full of love, hatred and vengeance for Donton in his mind.

Perhaps it was because of the departure of his family that Donton, who seemed to be relatively gentle and talkative, became a guy called vicious by the military!

Clark even guessed the reason why Downton's family left. It must be full of power and wealth transactions or capital suppression. Maybe Downton's family simply died at the hands of the military!

For a moment, Clark looked at Downton with sympathy.

Facing Clark's sympathetic eyes, Downton chuckled and asked.

"What's the matter?"

At this point, Downton suddenly stopped and put his hand on Clark's shoulder.

Against Clark's slightly accelerated heartbeat, Downton continued to ask.

"You seem to know some news, just like you are not surprised by my sudden appearance!"

"No, no, no, I don't mean anything else, I just said... No wonder you choose to run naked on the road like now, and even run naked secretly to my house.

As for the sudden appearance, isn't that a magic trick? By the way, I haven't asked you why you came to my house yet!

Don't tell me you fell from the sky, my mother is naive and easy to be fooled by you, but I won't!

Dude, did you see my muscles? I advise you not to have any bad thoughts about our family!!!"

Clark raised his biceps to Downton, and then waited nervously for Downton's response.

He didn't want his secret to be known by someone like Downton.

Looking at Clark who was trying hard to cover up, Downton grinned with a smile.

As expected of a 23-year-old Superman, he is really too immature.

You know, except for works like Smallville.

In most movies, TV shows and comics, Superman starts his career at the age of 33.

Why does he always debut at the age of thirty-three?

Because Jesus also debuted at the age of thirty-three.

In some ways, Superman is the Son of God in DC.

So if nothing else happens, the superman in front of him will only be able to see through life and the world after he reaches the age of thirty-three, and then choose the path of his life and never stop.

And now Clark, who is only twenty-three years old, how should I put it, the super brain wrapped in his skull is closer to the brain of a scholar like Wei Shen.

It's quite...pure.

So Downton patted his arm gently and said.

"I just fucking asked casually, look at you, you want to take out your underwear to prove something to me.

This will only make me more suspicious, kid! "

"No, I didn't want to prove anything, I just..."

Upon hearing Downton's words, Clark quickly wanted to continue saying something, but Downton interrupted him directly.

"Yes, yes, you don't want to prove it, and I don't care if you know something."

Downton raised his foot and kicked Clark's butt, and then said.

"Hurry up and take me to change clothes, man, this time I owe you a favor to the Kent family.

When I finish what I'm doing, I'll send someone to give your family money for clothes.

Trust me, that's a lot of money, and it's money you deserve, and it's time for you to improve your life. "

After saying that, Downton gave Clark a kick on the butt. His action made Clark frown in dissatisfaction.

However, Clark finally took Downton to his room and found a set of his own clothes for Downton.

Clark is 1.91 meters tall, only four centimeters taller than Downton. His clothes fit Downton very well.

So not long after, Downton, wearing jeans, sneakers and only a half-sleeved white sweatshirt on his upper body, appeared in the yard of Kent's house.

Looking at Downton's appearance, Martha smiled and nodded.

"You look just like my son. You are both equally strong and can hold up your clothes beautifully."

"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Martha. I will return the clothes to you in a few days, along with my thoughts.

But I still have a favor that I need Clark to help me with. I have something urgent and I need to rush to a nearby town.

So, Clark, would you mind giving me a lift? "
