Chapter 005 How Many Steps Are Needed To Form The Justice League?

The Kents are a pair of very ordinary farmers in Kansas.

Farmers like this, no matter how well they do, can only maintain a middle-class income level. Therefore, it is normal to take out loans to farm before the harvest.

In the movie, after Martha loses her husband and son one after another, the farm's income is reduced due to a lack of labor.

Later, because the income from the farm was not enough to repay the bank loan, they could only apply for bankruptcy protection.

The farm eventually had to be repossessed by the bank to pay off the debt.

Don't think that the highly mechanized agriculture in America can make money easily. In fact, because of the high degree of mechanization, one person needs to take care of a lot of arable land.

It's so big that Martha can't keep busy by herself, and the labor cost is expensive, the harvester needs to be rented, and she has to be in a hurry. When the price changes, she can't even afford to fill up the gas.

In this way, if Martha can keep the farm, then she must have Kryptonian blood.

But now that Clark is still there, their family's farm work is not a problem at all, and it can be done in the blink of an eye, so Martha still lives quite comfortably.

It makes her look like she's doing fine.

"Hello, Mrs. Kent, my name is Dane, and I'm Clark's friend. It's the first time I come to the door, so it's not a respect."

After speaking politely, Dane handed over a bottle of red wine with both hands.

The brand is not bad, the price is neither high nor low, and it is suitable for door-to-door gifts.

He has now changed into red tights, very simple, a little dressing magic will do.

Originally, Clark said he didn't need to give gifts, but Dane insisted on buying them.

It is not surprising that many people are polite, and this sentence is the same in America.

Martha, who already had a good impression of Dane because of his appearance, liked this young man even more after seeing the red wine. He was polite and measured.

"It doesn't need to be so formal, just call me Martha, and come in quickly."

"Clark, you should have reminded me earlier that I have guests coming, so I could be a little bit prepared."

Martha pretended to complain, but he could tell she was happy that his son was able to bring his friends home.

In her impression, Clark had very few friends, and even Lana, who had played with him since childhood, was rarely invited by him to play at home.

Clark clasped Martha's hand: "Mom, I met Dane during my travels, he helped me, and... he is just like me!"

Martha quickly understood what Clark meant by saying the same, and she looked at Dane with curiosity in her eyes.

Dane willingly satisfied her curiosity as he looked around.

Then he stretched out his finger, and an electric arc pierced through the air and hit the charging port of the mobile phone on the table.

Originally only 12% of the power left was fully charged in an instant.

"Oh. My. God!"

Martha covered her mouth with her hands, looking shocked.

What a simple person, such a little trick has won her over.

Dane laments the innocence of people nowadays, and in a few years, they will get used to this kind of thing.

Clark had black lines on his face, but he knew that the lightning that struck him earlier was the same thing.

Can it still be used to charge a phone?

Wouldn't that be a little disrespectful?

Martha felt more at ease knowing that Dane was as special as her son.

She was very happy and said that Dane must stay and try her food.

Regardless of Clark's stop, he got on the pickup truck at the door and went to the supermarket to do some shopping.

"Okay, why are you in a hurry, that spaceship has been under the Arctic ice for 20,000 years, and it's not bad for a day or two."

Hearing what he said, Clark calmed down his anxiety.

"But you have to say something before you go. The first time you put the key in, you'd better let the AI ​​block the signal of the spaceship first, to prevent Zod from knowing the news in advance."

This is what it should mean, Clark nodded, and he curiously said:

"What are you going to do after this? Keep it hidden?"

Clark didn't know that Dane's actual age was only fifteen years old, and his physical age had been increased by the power of Shazam.

He saw that Dane had a mature face and a sense of sophistication in his words and deeds.

Plus Dane said he was a "god", and thought he lived for a long time.

As for what Dane said earlier about becoming a god soon, he also automatically understood it as the long-lived species' vague sense of time.

So he subconsciously thought that Dane had been hiding in human society just like him.

Dane nodded, then shook his head again.

"It's not yet time for me to go onstage, so I'll probably continue to hide, but I think there's something to do."

Dane just figured out one thing, since Zod's invasion of the earth is a global disaster, why did he choose to fight Superman alone?

No one stipulated that the Justice League had to wait until Steppenwolf came to form, he could set up the platform first!

But in terms of candidates, we have to choose carefully. First of all, Wonder Woman has to be brought in. Her combat power should not be underestimated.

The most important thing is that Wonder Woman doesn't know the benevolence of women, and she is very quick to kill when it is time to kill.

Then there is Batman, who is eight years older than Superman, and At the moment should be in the prime of his life.

But this guy is suspicious by nature, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to invite him.

Aquaman Arthur Curry, if he remembers correctly, At the moment Aquaman is only 19 years old, younger than Clark.

Although Zod only arrived in 2013, to be honest, Arthur's Ability is weak in front of Zod

The Flash, Barry Allen, is too young now, and his Ability will not be acquired until 2013, he has not even had time to adapt but to push the child onto the battlefield.

Even Dane can't do it.

Cyborg Victor Stone, the situation is similar to The Flash, to be determined first.

Martian Manhunter, this Martian is a bit confused, you can try to invite him, anyway.

Green Lantern Hal Jordan, well...

Although the DCEU has kicked him out of this circle, considering that this is the real world, Dane has to consider the possibility of playing with Green Lantern.

As long as more than three Green Lantern Corps are not allowed to get together, they are quite reliable.

And if Green Lantern does appear, then it is said that he is facing the first global disaster in the true sense of the earth.

Finally, there is Superman, Dane doesn't even need to ask if Clark is still the person he remembers, he will say yes.

So Dane didn't play those empty heads, he directly invited Superman.

"Clark, there are many people like us in the world."

"I thought about whether it is possible to gather them all, and when faced with some major disasters that cannot be solved by individual strength, they can unite and cooperate to solve problems together."

"That's a great idea!"

Clark immediately agreed, and the first thing he thought of was Zod's question.

After hearing Dane's explanation, he knew that Zod had a group of elite Kryptonians. Even if he and Dane could solve the problem in the end, how many innocent civilians would die?

"So would you like to join?" Dane asked.

"What are you talking about? I want to be the first to join!"

Okay, the first member gets it done.

"Do you have any other options?"

"Yes, but it will be a bit troublesome to find out, and they may not agree."

Clark nodded understandingly, he knew very well that not everyone is willing to use their strength to do good things.

Dane told him about the general situation of several members of the Justice League in the future, and Clark fell into thinking after listening.

"Let's forget Barry Allen and Victor Stone first, they are still children, and having super abilities is not necessarily a good thing for them."

Clark has a good point, knowing that to conceal his Ability, his adoptive father Jonathan didn't even let him save himself.

Dane nodded understandingly: "I think so too, so I think the first target should be on Diana."

"As the world's first superhero, she should understand our philosophy."

Diana has been active in human society since World War I, and doing chivalry is a daily routine.

She even participated in World War II and is a veritable war hero.

She should have been the earliest superhero on earth, but after entering the new millennium, Wonder Woman's activities became less.

In addition, she is low-key, so she is quickly forgotten.

Clark heard Dane say something about Diana, and he agreed to invite the lady.

"Gotham's Batman, I think I've heard of this guy."

Clark has traveled all over the world during this time. Although he hasn't been to Gotham yet, he has heard some rumors.

Before meeting Dane, he originally planned to find time to visit Gotham.

After all, Batman's deeds sound very Superman-like.

" We can wait for him first. Batman is suspicious by nature. If we go to him so blatantly, I'm afraid he will be planning what to do with you the next day."

Dane shook his head, pressing Clark's urge to move.

While the two were discussing the organizational structure of the future Justice League, Martha came back from shopping.

Dane and Clark stopped the conversation just in time and got up to help Martha.

Martha originally planned to let Dane, the guest, sit, but he and Clark are men with Super Speed, and the work of washing and picking vegetables is done in the blink of an eye, so she doesn't say anything.

But Martha's impression of Dane has changed for the better.

The three chatted for a while after drinking and eating, Dane tried his best to avoid revealing his real information, it was necessary to be safe.

Finally, Dane slept in the guest room.
