I, the younger brother of Superman, ended up with a Thanos template.

This is not a safe bet.

The couple had no idea that Tina, in addition to her shapeshifting ability, was so physically strong that she could withstand bullets, making her a formidable opponent for ordinary police officers.

"I need to ask for leave this afternoon and won't be going to school."

David suddenly said.

Kryptonite is undoubtedly the reason why some people in the town gained their abilities.

"So, if I spend more time with kryptonite, get more kryptonite radiation, or even consume kryptonite, will my power increase?"

His eyes flickered; was this what Tina had been drinking since childhood, infused with water made from meteorites?

"I also need to ask for leave."

Clark followed closely behind, remaining vigilant with a serious look in his eyes; he was determined to protect his parents from any harm.

David glanced at Clark.

If it were anywhere else, a random small town with superpowers could make it impossible for Thanos, with his physical abilities, to easily protect his parents from any harm. He would find it absurd.

"But sometimes Superman encounters enemies that even he finds troublesome or dangerous."

Better safe than sorry. It would be best if he and Clark both stayed behind to protect the couple.

Even if it turns out to be a false alarm in the end, it's better than something he absolutely doesn't want to see happening that he'll regret for the rest of his life.

"why?"

The couple were puzzled by their two sons' strong reaction.

"Are you afraid Tina will attack us?"

dong dong!

Just as the two were about to explain, there was a knock on the door.

Through the glass door of the outer door, in the dim sunlight, Lex Luthor stood outside, a polite smile on his face, his voice friendly: "May I come in?"

Jonathan and Martha immediately tensed up and stood up from their stools. David and Clark stepped forward and stood in front of their parents.

David gave Clark a wink.

Clark attempts to reopen the X-ray vision to observe Lex's skeleton outside the door.

However, due to some tension, it was not started for a long time.

"what happened?"

Lex Luthor opened the outer door and joked, puzzled, "It's me, not my evil twin, and I'm not carrying a gun."

He raised his hands to show his family.

“Clark, David, Mr. Kent…you all know I am innocent.”

"Hurry up."

Clark concentrated and tried to control himself. Finally, the image in his eyes became like being X-rayed again. He glanced at Luther's entire body, breathed a sigh of relief, and spoke to his brother and parents, revealing a smile.

"Lex, what are you doing here?"

The skeleton is normal; it's the real Lex Luthor.

Jonathan and Martha were relieved.

David secretly relaxed his tense body.

If he were facing ten ability users alone, he wouldn't be so nervous, but unfortunately his parents were right behind him.

"I come to thank Mr. and Mrs. Kent."

Without your testimony, I cannot clear my name yet.

The Kent family reacted strangely, a hint of suspicion flashing in their eyes. Luther chuckled.

“Please come in, Mr. Luther,” Martha greeted him.

"I watched the CCTV footage. I don't know how that person did it. He looks almost exactly like me. If it weren't for the different handwriting in his signature, I might be penniless by now."

Luther expressed his genuine surprise and confusion.

"It's a strange feeling to watch someone rob a bank in broad daylight with my face on their head."

He had intended to take the opportunity of expressing his gratitude to visit the Clark family and become acquainted with them.

But upon arrival, Luther suddenly sensed that the atmosphere at the house was somewhat somber and strange, suggesting it wasn't a good time to visit, and his plans had run into trouble again.

This time, he did not demonstrate his keenness and intelligence by offering to help if there was any trouble.

"If someone dislikes another person, the more intelligent they appear, the more wary and resistant they will be."

After chatting for a few minutes, I sincerely expressed my gratitude. His eyes sparkled, and I took my leave.

hum!

Leaving the farm, Luther got into his silver-gray convertible, glanced at the Kent family in the house, frowned as if lost in thought, and drove away.

……

I told my parents that Tina might be a powerful superhuman.

After thinking for a while, Jonathan asked for leave for his two sons, citing the high incidence of flu in the spring as the reason.

He didn't let David go to school, fearing he would be attacked alone.

“David, you stay with us at home. Clark will protect us. I’ll ask around and see what the police have to say. Maybe they’ll be able to catch Tina.”

The update is a bit late; I wrote an extra 600 words.

Chapter 25 Let's start with you, Martha

The father, Jonathan, called the police as dusk approached.

The town police came to the door, took a statement, and the town sheriff Bob, who was accompanied by several officers, was Jonathan's high school classmate.

"Bob, have you caught the murderer?" Jonathan asked.

"We unfortunately found Catherine's body in her antique shop, but we didn't find any money. It's possible the murderer moved the money."

When faced with an old classmate who was also the one who provided the clue, Bob did not refuse to reveal anything.

“We staked out there for a long time. The killer may have escaped. We haven’t found any suspicious people in the town. Catherine’s daughter Tina has mysteriously disappeared. We suspect she may have been murdered as well.”

"After a forensic examination, it was determined that Catherine's body had long since died. The person your wife Martha encountered was not Catherine."

Bob frowned, muttering to himself as he recalled the bizarre bank robbery.

"Do those sophisticated espionage techniques that use disguise to create convincing illusions really exist?"

Jonathan didn't know what to say. After seeing Bob off, he turned around and sighed to his wife and sons.

"Bad news, the police came up empty-handed."

"This might be a good thing."

Martha said worriedly, "Tina has special abilities, and even a pistol can't subdue her. If we really encounter her, Bob and the others will most likely be in danger."

David and Clark were not surprised; they hadn't expected the police to arrest Tina anyway.

Whoosh!

The sun sets, the starry sky covers the heavens, darkness envelops the farm, a cold wind blows, and the wheat fields droop low.

Under the bright lights, David and Clark stood on either side of the doorway.

I guarantee that if Tina attacks, they will be the first targets.

Even if you try to get around from behind, you can't escape David's exceptional hearing.

"She had better not wait until tonight to get her revenge."

David gazed into the distance, his voice carrying a chilling undertone, like the howling wind outside the door.

Tina had to pretend to live a normal life as Catherine to avoid attracting police attention. She didn't show up in town for half a day, so she probably knew something had happened. It's not hard to guess who called the police.

There's no such thing as a thousand days to catch thieves, but a thousand days to guard against them.

"According to the forensic examination, Aunt Catherine may have fallen down the stairs and died accidentally from a head injury..."

Clark hesitated as he tried to scan his surroundings with his super vision.

"What do you want to say?"

David sensed that he hadn't finished speaking.

Clark glanced back at his parents sitting in the living room, his face showing reluctance, and lowered his voice.

"I'll handle Tina in a bit; I'll take care of her."

Tina attacked her parents, and the chill emanating from her younger brother was even stronger than when he last faced Grek, who had died at his hands.

He didn't want David's hands to be stained with blood again, so that he wouldn't be able to turn back.

"Then?"

Despite it being a recurring issue, Clark patiently persuaded him, and David, arms crossed, didn't get angry.
