American comics: Today’s big news Chapter 047

“Why did Connors make me call him daddy when he was doing that?”

“Although it was indeed exciting…”

Xue Xi looked at her hotel room, which had been cleaned spotlessly. Not having seen Connors for a day, she couldn’t help but recall.

Before today, the room was littered with used rubber products, and the air was filled with the smell of heather.

Not only the room, but even her body and face were covered in this strange smell.

Fortunately, the hotel cleaned the room every day, otherwise if Jennifer came in today and saw that scene, her image would probably be completely ruined…

Xue Xi sat at the table, cupping her pink cheeks with both hands, thinking with great relief.

She had just sent off Jennifer Susan Walters, also known as the lawyer with the hero title “She-Hulk,” who had come all the way from New York to help her with the lawsuit regarding “three consecutive accidents at the concert.”

Jennifer told her that the lawsuit was won through physical means, but for a period of time, she would not be able to hold concerts or any large-scale stage performances.

This left her incredibly bored at the moment. Having tasted the forbidden fruit, she immediately thought of calling Connors to come and fill the void.

As soon as she took out her phone, before she could even dial, the screen turned to static, and the voice of “You Are Not Alone” came through.

At the same time, Connors, who was in the abandoned warehouse, also grew a lounge chair out of plants and sat on it, watching the static on the monitor gradually turn into a blurry face.

“I am General Zod.”

“I come from a distant planet, I crossed the stars to get here.”

“For some time, your world has sheltered one of my people.”

“I demand that you return him to me.”

“For some reason, he chose to keep his identity a secret from you. He must have tried hard to blend in with you, he will look like you, but he does not belong to you.”

“…%*￥#”

Connors didn’t listen to the rambling words that followed, as he could almost recite the lines by heart.

Harley Quinn, on the other hand, was whispering with Catwoman Selina Kyle, clearly plotting how big the spaceship was and how to steal it.

Poison Ivy Ivy looked left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she walked over to Connors:

“I can sense that little starlet misses you… Do you want to go do some proper business, all three of us?”

Connors quietly asked:

“How did you… Oh, the Green can be used like that?”

Poison Ivy Ivy nodded. She had indeed sensed Xue Xi’s condition through the Green, as Xue Xi had been infected by her toxins yesterday.

Before, Poison Ivy Ivy didn’t understand what this feeling was, but ever since she had been deflowered, she finally understood.

I remember Poison Ivy Ivy was originally just a shy college student, did chlorophyll change her personality while changing her appearance too…

Connors looked at Poison Ivy Ivy, who was leaning over with an expectant look, and asked in confusion:

“I haven’t tried three people yet, have you?”

“Before you, I hadn’t even tried one person, and they wouldn’t have aroused my interest either.” Ivy’s words reassured Connors.

But now, on the screen, General Zod was still giving his speech. This was not the time for such things:

“Not now, I have to take Selina to Metropolis tonight and steal this alien’s spaceship.”

Ivy was confused: “Isn’t it Selina who’s supposed to be stolen?”

Connors reached out and pinched the chin of the red-haired older woman:

“What kind of talk is that!”

He immediately prepared to call Selina to go to Metropolis together. He looked up and found that Selina and Harley, who had just been whispering, were now both pricking up their ears, looking at him.

Harley Quinn nervously twisted her butt and hid behind Poison Ivy Ivy. Catwoman Selina Kyle didn’t know what Harley had told her, her limbs stiff as if she were a robot.

Connors wasn’t too interested in the little secrets between the two girls.

“Harley, Ivy, you two stay in Gotham, preferably protect yourselves in Gotham Forest. I’m taking Selina to Metropolis.”

“Huh?” Harley Quinn didn’t understand why he was only taking Selina.

“Too many people is inconvenient,” Connors casually explained.

Harley Quinn showed a look of sudden realization, not knowing what she understood. Catwoman Selina Kyle almost couldn’t even walk.

“I’ll be faster in the supercar. Ivy, get that taxi down from the tree and drive it back.” Connors finished instructing and turned to leave.

Harley Quinn skipped along, Catwoman Selina Kyle regained her agile steps, and Poison Ivy Ivy remained as elegant as an older sister.

“Kal-El, surrender within 24 hours…”

“Or let the whole world bear the consequences.”

General Zod’s intermittent speech didn’t end until Connors and his group left the warehouse.

In the abandoned warehouse, Bane watched the monitor screen with red eyes, his brain desperately trying to process General Zod’s words, so much so that he didn’t even stop Connors.

Scarecrow was still twitching on the ground. His ordinary human body couldn’t withstand Bane’s enhanced venom, and his eyes were starting to roll back.

As for Riddler, there were already three or four pages of dense formulas written in front of him.

A great mathematician is about to be born… Connors looked back at the warehouse. Right, with that brain, why bother fighting wits with Batman? How much better would it be to prove a theory and have the whole world praise your genius?

Stepping on the accelerator, he turned on the navigation system and sped towards Metropolis. Catwoman Selina Kyle sat in the passenger seat, for the first time without any plan for the target of theft.

But the challenge that came with it made it impossible for Selina to back down. After all, it was an alien spaceship, and there was probably only one of them on Earth! It was far more valuable than collectible art paintings!

Connors naturally didn’t know that Catwoman Selina Kyle, sitting next to him, was overthinking things so much. Stealing an alien spaceship was no big deal for him, who possessed the ability of “Driving Master.”

It was just that General Zod came much earlier than expected. He hadn’t yet had enough power to rival Superman, otherwise this operation would have been even simpler.

After the system upgrade, eating such a world-destroying-level gossip, I wonder what kind of reward it will give… Connors was already looking forward to the aftermath.

…

“Master Wayne, I think you should come out.”

Sitting in the cage, Batman, wearing his Batsuit, listened to the voice of his butler Alfred through the intercom and asked in confusion:

“I was planning to pretend to surrender and only come out when Scarecrow and Bane couldn’t resist starting their actions. I even drove out the Bat-Tank for this.”

“Compared to that, you should be more concerned about a Kryptonian creature,” Alfred said. “He calls himself General Zod and says he has a companion hidden on Earth.”

“That’s not my concern,” Batman said.

“But, Master Wayne, according to Zod’s description, this is a potentially powerful and mysterious fellow. And when he was broadcasting globally, I noticed Master Patterson drove to Metropolis.”

“…That guy might be Kryptonian?” The more Batman thought about it, the more something felt off. “Alfred, help me establish a new project, named ‘Anti-Connors Armor.’”

…

In the supercar, Connors hummed a tune softly, noticing Catwoman Selina Kyle next to him hesitating to speak. He said:

“What’s wrong, worried about danger?”

Selina, wrapped in a tight suit, huddled in the seat like a black cat, her crimson soft lips slightly pursed below her upturned nose.

“That’s not it,” she gritted her teeth and asked the doubt in her heart, “Harley said you took me away alone because you definitely wanted to backdoor me.”

Connors: “???”

“Harley said you like that position the most.”

“I want to ask, what does that mean?”

Harley, what on earth did you tell Catwoman Selina Kyle…

Connors looked at Selina, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asking a ridiculous question with a serious expression, and answered with the same words he had used for Ivy earlier:

“Can’t say, only do.”
