American comics farmer: start by adopting the villain savior.

Chapter 55 Jonathan:?

David Copperon?
Locke rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

A somewhat familiar name.

"Anyway"

"Thanks, Lionel." Locke put his hand on his friend's shoulder, "You've helped me so much."

Hearing this, Lionel was shocked.

"So you said so, Locke."

"I won't pretend anymore!"

"?!"

Locke took a half step back alertly: "What are you going to do?"

"what's on your mind?!"

Rolling his eyes, Lionel said unhappily, "I just want you to show me your super powers!"

He put down his coffee cup, and his blue eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses sparkled with an almost childlike curiosity, even with a hint of excitement that seemed eager to try.

Locke sighed: "Lionel, this is not a circus act"

“Come on, Mr. Farmer.” Lionel crossed his arms and raised his chin slightly. “I saw that road with my own eyes.”

"Oh my god, that's not the kind of damage a car accident could cause." He paused and lowered his voice. "Not to mention, that kid Dio disappeared out of thin air on the helicopter... Don't think Gray didn't tell me."

"."

Locke glanced at Grey, who was trying her best to reduce her presence in the shadows behind Lionel, and was silent for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

"Okay." He raised his hand, and a purple shadow, visible only to him, loomed behind him. "But just a little demonstration."

"What ability?!"

Lionel's eyes lit up, and he immediately leaned closer: "Mental power? Telekinesis? Energy release?"

"You can understand it that way." Locke thought for a while.

then
Star Platinum took action instantly.

"Snapped!"

The coffee cup in Lionel's hand disappeared out of thin air, and the next second, it landed steadily on the coffee table on the other side of the balcony, without even a drop of coffee spilled.

"Oh, God"

Eyes wide, Lionel lost his composure in a rare display of disbelief.

He walked over quickly, carefully examined the cup, and suddenly looked up:

"That speed and precision is like time stopped and the coffee cup was stolen from me!"

Hearing this, Locke couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and thought to himself:
This guy guessed pretty well.

Taking a deep breath, Lionel gave a cunning smile:

"Locke, are you interested?"

"No." Locke interrupted decisively, "I will not participate in any of your scientific research activities, Lionel."

"Tsk, I'm not finished yet!"

"Your eyes betray you." Locke crossed his arms. "The last time you looked at Dio and Clark like that, they received a whole box of children's science experiment kits the next day."

"It nearly blew Jonathan and me up in the air."

"That was just an accident. Who would have thought that our company's development department would actually dare to install it..." Lionel coughed dryly, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Cough cough."

"Anyway, the company's explorers discovered a small crystal in the Asia-Africa region..."

"thump!"

There was a loud bang from the direction of the swimming pool.

"?!"

The two of them quickly leaned over to look.

Then he heard Dio's smug laughter and Lex's angry protest.

The little bald guy was seen clinging to the edge of the swimming pool in a panic, while Dio was standing on the shore, and Lex's slippers were somehow caught on the palm tree.

"Your son," Lionel held his forehead, "is he getting more and more naughty?"

"Is it possible that this is my son's true nature? Dio is actually only cold to strangers. Hmm... maybe Clark too?"

"Anyway," Locke shrugged, "Didn't your son secretly release a bunch of lab rats onto my farm last month?"

"."

The two looked at each other and sighed in unison.

"so."

Picking up his coffee again, Lionel's tone suddenly became serious, "Does the metahuman chasing you have similar abilities?"

"We examined the wreckage of the SUV and it was a very basic structure."

"Engineers said they couldn't imagine this car could catch up to a Lamborghini. They said if it could, it wouldn't be technology or hard work, but pure magic!"

"."

Thinking of the SUV chasing him like a leech, Locke's eyes couldn't help but darken.

“In short,” he whispered, “that guy’s power comes from somewhere else.” Lionel keenly noticed his choice of words: “Somewhere else?”

"Hell." Locke pointed to the ground.

"hell?"

If someone else said it, I would definitely not believe it, but...
Lionel narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, but ultimately did not pursue the question.

"anyway."

He raised his coffee cup, a smile on his lips, "Thank you for your trust, Locke."

"That's what I wanted to say, Lionel, thank you for your trust."

Locke chuckled and clinked glasses with him.

"Ding--"

With a crisp collision sound.

The noise by the pool and Sarafiel's babbling in the crib all blended together.
Um.
It is particularly pleasant to the ear.
-
The afternoon sun lazily streamed down the gravel path of Kent Farm.

"boom!"

The pickup truck door opened.

Dio reluctantly moved out of the car holding Sarafiel. The baby twisted in his arms, and its little hands grabbed a strand of his golden hair and refused to let go.

“It hurts, it hurts—!”

"Let me go, you little bastard!" Dio growled, baring his teeth.

"Dio." Locke smiled and rubbed his son's head. He then straightened Dio's messy hair and said softly, "You are the older brother now. Be nice to your younger brother."

结果
The boy rolled his eyes in return.

"I didn't agree to be your brother."

Dio grumbled softly, but subconsciously adjusted his embrace to make Sarafiel more comfortable.

After all, this is the only way to avoid pulling his hair.

Ignoring his son's nagging, Locke strode towards the white fence of Jonathan's house.

In the call he received in the car just now, Jonathan urgently asked him to come directly, but judging from the suspicious excitement in his voice, it shouldn't be a big deal. Maybe it's a good thing?
For example, let's say Clark bought a lottery ticket on the way home and won the jackpot?

"boom!"

Walk onto the porch and push open the wooden door.

"Crack~"

Colorful streamers rained down on him. Jonathan held up the fireworks tube and smiled with his teeth showing: "Welcome!"

Clark behind him was standing on tiptoe, looking around: "Where's the new member?!"

you guys
It turns out it was to celebrate Sarafiel's arrival.

Locke couldn't help but be moved, and he stepped aside.

Dio, holding Sarafiel, was exposed to everyone's sight.

"."

Jonathan's smile froze.

He stared at the little baby wrapped in a blue swaddle and asked, "Is this the new member?"

"What else could it be?" Locke asked in confusion.

"Hahahaha!" Jonathan suddenly burst into exaggerated laughter and embraced the bewildered Clark. "Come on, son, let's welcome a new member!"

"But."

Clark tilted his head to look at Sarafiel, then suddenly raised his head and said:
"Dad, didn't you say I would have an aunt? How come it's just..."

"Such a tiny baby?"

silence
It was so quiet that you could hear the ticking of the clock on the living room wall.

Jonathan's face flushed visibly.

Locke suddenly understood why the neighbors he met on the road looked at him with such ambiguous eyes.

"Jonathan Kent!"

Locke gritted his teeth and squeezed out his brother's full name, "You can't-!"

A few minutes later
The Kent family's living room.

Martha was sitting on the sofa, holding Sarafiel in her arms.

She patted the swaddle gently, and the baby hummed comfortably in her arms.

"You're so grown up and still so impatient." She glared at her husband in disapproval, but couldn't help laughing as she lowered her head to play with the baby. "Let's see how this ends."

Jonathan slumped onto the sofa with his head drooped. He looked at Locke and said, "What a surprise, brother."

"Accident? What kind of accident?" Locke held his forehead, "It can make you... in these few hours..."

"The Kent kid we all watched grow up—Locke Kent—is finally no longer single and has found a girlfriend. Our Kent family is going to hold a wedding soon, so everyone must come in a few days!"

".This matter has spread to everyone in Smallville?!"

"You have to explain everything to me door to door today! We have a new member in our family, not a new girlfriend!"

"Jonathan!"
