"Lower, I can't breathe!" of

course not so exaggerated, just a little uncomfortable. But Anthony wouldn't treat himself badly, whispering for Superman to return to the near surface. Superman naturally obediently lowered his altitude and still held him tightly in his arms.

Anthony was in a mess, wrapped in Clark's long down jacket on the outside, with a mask and goggles between his hat and scarf, and two sweaters and a padded jacket underneath his coat. The lower half of his body was dressed in autumn pants and fleece pants, plus a blanket, and his feet in new boots were tied together. Anthony felt like he was a ball, a mess.

The bad image does not affect Anthony's mood, anyway, all he sees is Superman. His eyes widened, but it was the polar night and he couldn't see anything.

But he didn't give up.

"Clark, are there any aurora to see now?"

his voice buzzed, but Superman heard it clearly. He replied, "Not yet, but maybe later." But we had to go to the fortress first.

Anthony snorted, but didn't dare to move.

Soon, they stopped under the pitch-black sky and slowly landed. Superman carefully shakes off the blanket and leaves Anthony standing on the flat ice. Anthony stumbled awkwardly on the spot twice, squinting at the swarthy mountain: "What fortress? I can't see it!"

Superman led him a few steps forward, and Anthony saw that the color in front of him was not a normal glacier or frozen soil. Suddenly, a large gray and white patch in front of him parted in the middle, and Anthony's eyes were immediately covered, and he could see the light between Superman's fingers.

Gradually, Anthony got used to the light, pulled off Superman's hand, and almost couldn't wait to look inside. Superman led him into a fortress hidden in glaciers and permafrost.

Kryptonian's technology coldly surrounded him.

Anthony couldn't help but shudder. He hadn't felt much cold when flying over the North Pole before, but he was actually full of anticipation and his face turned red with excitement, but suddenly, he felt that excitement quickly receded, leaving only the unknown and vigilance.

Kryptonite wasn't as friendly as the Kryptonian he was leading. Anthony listened to the subtle sound of mechanical friction, looked around, and "looked at each other" with the self-running security equipment, and his whole body tensed. If it weren't for Clark assuring him that he was the only one left on Krypton, Anthony would almost suspect that he would be being scrutinized by Kryptonians' discerning family members.

Superman easily senses Anthony's nervousness, but apparently misunderstood. He immediately reached out and grabbed Anthony's shoulders and pulled him a little over to his side: "Don't worry, they won't attack you."

Anthony still couldn't let his guard down, and walked in with Superman, the only thing that made him feel safe.

The menacing instruments retracted into the wall, but Anthony couldn't relax. The fort has a cool white hue, with some unknown crystals around it, but it is even more empty. But unlike the wilderness of the Arctic and the loneliness of the frozen seas, Anthony always felt that there was something powerful but invisible staring at him, without trust or kindness.

Superman tried to be more enthusiastic: "It's just now that the fort is officially entered, and these two sculptures are my parents..."

, Anthony looked up at them. Superman told him about his origins on Krypton, and naturally remembered his parents. Joe Eyre and Lara Eyre. Actually, he wasn't sure if he could say the two names, after all, the pronunciation was very different, just a rough idea.

The blue-gray sculpture seems to be alive, looking at the "friend" who was brought back by their son. Anthony, who was a thief, was so frightened that he couldn't help but look away and not "look at each other" with the sculpture.

At this time, Anthony heard a strange voice, the sound quality was neither like a human nor a machine, he couldn't understand it, and the pronunciation pattern was quite like Superman's Kryptonian name. The people around him happily replied, and this feeling of being completely excluded by the language environment made Anthony a little uncomfortable.

He followed the prestige and saw a person, phew, Kryptonian, phew, Kryptonian intelligent projection standing not far away. Anthony knew that he, Joe Al, Superman's elder had left him as a "butler", or a guide, or something.

Superman was empathetic and quickly said, "Joe, English, thank you." This is Anthony Pate, my trusted friend.

Anthony didn't know what to do with Joe Al, and seeing that Superman was treating him like his own, he tried his best to squeeze out a friendly smile: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Al."

Joe Al smiled politely at him, "Fortunately, Mr. Pate."

Anthony still feels uncomfortable, and Joe Eyre's subtle emotions prevent Anthony from simply treating him as an artificial intelligence on Earth. He even began to suspect that Joe El was the ghost of Superman's father, who had come to protect his son.

Then treat him as an elder of Superman.

Anthony tilted his head and whispered to Superman, "Can I hug him?"

Superman also whispered, "I don't think so, he's just a projection, I didn't build a body for him or something... Also, we don't need to speak quietly, because Joe can hear all the voices in the fort.

Anthony glanced at him, only to see that Superman seemed to be gone, and Clark had come back a little. No, it's not Clarke, it feels like Superman shows his younger side.

"Yo," Anthony said sourly, "I feel like I'm a complete outsider."

"Of course you're not. Superman's blue eyes widened, "You'll soon be one of the masters of the fortress."

Both Joe El and Anthony were silent.

"I'll make sure, you were kidding, right?" Anthony let go of Superman, took off his bulky coat by the way, and staggered twice in place. I don't know when it was already warm inside the fortress.

Joe El remained silent. Anthony was expecting him to say a few words, but seeing this, he had to continue: "I am not a Kryptonian, and I have nothing to do with you in the laws of the earth. I'm just a guest. "Of course I want it, so give me a reasonable reason.

Superman walked into the hall behind the foyer and said solemnly, "You are my partner and my family now.

Anthony almost understood it as a "companion", but fortunately Superman added a "family" after him. He put his cumbersome clothes on a crystal and followed, "Didn't you say Overseer? I'm not a superhero, maybe Batman in Gotham next door or The Flash in Canterlot would be a better fit for you."

Superman said frankly, "I don't know them well."

Anthony glanced at Joe Al, who remained silent. He rubbed over and lowered his voice and asked, "Aren't you going to say something?"

Superman was standing in front of a silver-white console doing something: "Don't lower your voice, I can hear it."

Anthony crouched down, picked up a rock, and smashed it on him. Superman let out a sullen laugh.

Joe El said calmly, "Carl El has all the power of the fortress.

Anthony reached out and touched him, and sure enough, he didn't touch anything. He backhanded a more regular-shaped crystal beside him, which was cool to the touch at first, and after a few seconds, it became a little higher than his body temperature. He simply sat down.

Joe Al: "That's not a stool... Never mind. Superman

: "Wait a minute, I'll transfer half of the permissions to you, and you can open them."

Anthony's conscience is stirring, and getting something for nothing is always unsettling: "It's not... I don't have the ability to... Well, what do you do when you get married? It's your joint property.

Superman paused, thinking for a moment.

"Actually," he said mildly, "if I could get married, I would like to be with her as Clark." I wanted to separate Superman and Clark a little bit. "

And what am I?" retorted Anthony without thinking. I said it and regretted it, and I don't know how I started to become more talkative.

Superman was silent again.

Anthony straightened his mind and said, "You can't even hide it from me, how can you hide

it from your partner?" Superman: "Maybe you need your help..."

"What is it if you cheat on your partner?"

Joe El didn't know when he disappeared. Anthony sat on the crystal and finally set his eyes on the console. It was densely packed with motion buttons and Kryptonian text, which visually made his eyes hurt.

Superman finally spoke again: "You're right, maybe I'm not qualified to get married.

Anthony looked at him in shock. That's what you came to to conclusion?
