Perhaps because she had vented enough, Linda finally remembered her original purpose.
At nine o'clock in the morning, a terrorist attack occurred at the Metropolitan Airport. An unidentified mysterious man rushed into the hangar, caused extensive damage, and left behind a string of mysterious characters before walking away.
According to the airport guards, the mysterious person is a young female with extremely terrifying strength. She can tear apart an airplane with her bare hands and has the ability to fly.
The incident was so egregious that it made headlines shortly after it occurred.
Many news media reported on this incident, and the mysterious string of characters became the focus of human pursuit.
Some say it is a code, some say it is a metaphor, and one expert even believes that the characters are Mayan words, foreshadowing the coming of the end of the world in 2012, and that the mysterious woman is the forerunner.
Believe it or not, there are actually people who believe this kind of idiotic talk.
On the thirteenth floor of Haixing Building, Charlie said worriedly,
"Boss. Is that woman crazy?"
"In a way, she is indeed crazy."
Luke took a sip of coffee and quietly watched the report on the airport incident on TV.
Charlie said seriously, "I think we have to do something. Melissa was an eyewitness to what happened. If she falls into the hands of the FBI, we will be in trouble."
Luke smiled and shook his head. "You think too much. Linda Danvers is not that stupid. In fact, she is smarter than most people in the world. She will not take any extreme actions until her goal is achieved."
"What if the goal cannot be achieved?"
Luke thought for a few seconds and muttered, "That's hard to say."
…
Daily Planet.
Under the envious gazes of his male compatriots, Clark Kent, a practical reporter who had just joined the newspaper, was called to the office by Lois Lane again.
They just don't understand what's so good about this poor boy from the country that he could win the heart of Lois Lane.
Everyone's heart was broken when they thought of the scene of them hugging each other and rolling in the sheets.
Clark Kent has no psychic abilities and cannot read his colleagues' inner thoughts, but the moment he steps into the office, he is keenly aware of several hostile gazes.
He could only express helplessness about this.
The curtains were drawn to block out the prying eyes of those who might be interested. Louise, wearing a women's dress, turned on the TV and tuned to the local radio station that was broadcasting the airport incident. She said with a serious expression,
"That mysterious girl's abilities are very similar to yours."
Clark remained silent.
"Is she one of your people?"
"Maybe, maybe not. I'll find out."
"What metaphor does that mysterious string of characters represent?"
"It's not characters, it's words, Kryptonian words, which means: Kal-El, I'm waiting for you at the top of the earth."
"Top of the Earth?"
Louise habitually tapped her chin with a pencil. "Mount Everest?"
Clark nodded, his eyes moving up and down with the pencil. He loved watching Lois thinking, it was really beautiful.
"So, you're going to the appointment?"
"Yes."
"Take me with you!"
Clark: "…"
"Louise, now is not the time to be willful. She is in danger. I can't take you with me."
"No, you're wrong, she's not dangerous."
Louise chuckled, leaning forward with her legs together, appearing elegant and confident. "Although the mysterious woman destroyed two planes, she didn't hurt anyone and even rescued a mechanic from the fire. This shows that she's not a bad person."
"Another thing is that she knows your name—Kal-El. You said before that it was the name your parents gave you, and only your family knows it. In other words, the mysterious girl is very likely your cousin, or even your biological sister."
Clark said helplessly,
"Louise, no matter what you say, I won't take you there. It's too dangerous."
"I have to go. Two Kryptonians meeting on Earth requires an Earthling as a witness. Besides, she's your family, why can't I meet her? Don't forget, I took you to see my sister last Friday."
"It's not the same thing."
"The nature is the same. If you feel uneasy, you can leave me at the foot of the mountain and confirm whether I am a family member before taking me up. In short, I must be at the scene."
Clark, who is known as a good family man, cannot refuse his girlfriend's willful request, so he has to take Lois Lane, who is wearing winter clothes, and fly to Mount Everest after get off work.
At the top of Mount Everest, on a hillside with national flags hanging.
Linda Danvers looked quietly at the "S" logo on Clark's chest. It was the family emblem of the El family. She once had one too.
Thinking of his parents who died in the Krypton explosion and all the deceptions he had suffered over the years, tears flowed uncontrollably.
As soon as she started crying, Clark suddenly became embarrassed and asked helplessly,
"Who are you..."
"Kara Zor-El, my father is Zor-El, and he's your father, Jor-El's biological brother. I was born 12 years before you. Due to an unexpected event, the spaceship I was on strayed into a chaotic space where time stood still. We stayed there for a long time before escaping. My physical body is 18 years old, but my real age is 36. You should call me cousin."
Cousin?
Clark opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.
The spaceship left by his father contains the bloodline genealogy of the El family. Zor-El, Kara Zor-El and others are real members of the family, but he never imagined that one day in the future, his cousin would come to him.
From childhood to adulthood, he has never even heard of his cousin's name, so how could he have any feelings for her?
Linda wiped away her tears and smiled, "Karl, you are my only relative."
This sentence made a great impact on Clark.
Krypton has been destroyed, and the two of them are likely to be the last Kryptonians, and they are "sister and brother".
Once the knot in my heart was untied, the conversation became smooth.
Linda recounted the wonderful experiences of her childhood, the culture, history, traditions of the Kryptonians, etc., but did not mention a word about life after coming to Earth; Clark described his adoptive parents, how honest and kind they were, his new job, and his girlfriend Lois Lane.
During this period, he suggested that his girlfriend meet her, but was politely declined. Clark did not think much about it. After all, it was the first time the siblings met, and there would be plenty of time in the future.
After the conversation, Clark was in a good mood, but Linda Danvers' heart sank to the bottom.
She saw that Kal-El, the Kryptonian, was dead, and had been replaced by Clark Kent, the Earthling.
He talked so much, and mentioned his adoptive parents far more times than his biological father. He didn't care about the family motto of the El family at all. There might be joy in his eyes of reuniting with his relatives, but no attachment to his hometown Krypton.
After realizing this, Linda lost interest in the conversation and asked directly,
"Where is the Fortress of Solitude?"
Clark was stunned and replied, "The North Pole."
"Do you have the key?"
Clark frowned immediately. The Fortress of Solitude was a relic left to him by his father. It contained a lot of science and technology that was not of this era. If it fell into the hands of the wrong people, the consequences would be disastrous. He hesitated for a moment and said doubtfully,
"Why are you asking that?"
"I want access to the Fortress of Solitude."
As soon as the words fell, the air became quiet.
