Chap 12

Clark was, he was watching Twitter, ignoring the noise of excitement, fear and curiosity from his co-workers who just discovered that Superman was an alien.

Looking at Twitter, Clark was surprised by the messages, he thought he would be attacked after the interview, he thought there would be groups demanding his arrest, but what he saw surprised him, not that there were no people asking for his arrest or death, but the vast majority were supporting him and even raised a hashtag that already had more than 600 thousand citations.

Clark kept scrolling the screen until he saw a hashtag that surprised him, it was #KalxStark. Looking strangely at this hashtag and wanting to know more, he found a post, on the profile of the playboy and genius, Tony Stark.

"Kal, I know you're going to read this message, unless you're an alien from the caves. How about stopping by the Stark Tower to chat? I'll teach you some Earthling tricks." But seriously, I'd love to talk to you. If you have time, stop by my tower, I'm sure good ideas would come out of this conversation "

Descending the screen, Clark looked at the comments

"My God, Stark is going to hire Superman" 'are you crazy? The guy is the last of an alien race, he must be very rich, it is easier for him to hire Stark '

"Are they going to work? They would certainly be a good team"

"Stark's brain and Superman's heart ... they can change the world"

Looking at the comments curiously, Clark thought of Stark. He was a playboy, but without a doubt a genius.

Clark knew Tony Stark, but well, who didn't know the guy? Even in Smallville, which was a city that wasn't on some maps, the guy was famous.

He has been the subject of debate many times at Clark's school, his morality has been much debated in his classes, some defended him, saying that the United States was lucky to have a genius like him, others attacked him saying that he was the merchant of death, but Clark never took part in these debates, not that he was the guy who sat on the fence, but he liked information before making a decision. He decided that he would visit this genius and see what he was like ...

Stark was drinking a ... Orange juice, yes. Pepper, somehow, had taken all of his drinks, even the ones he hid for this type of occasion, he had a slight suspicion that Jarvis helped her ... But he didn't take this issue very seriously, despite all these drinks adding up almost 60 thousand dollars, it was nothing to him. Looking at the night sky, while thinking about some things, especially in the interview he saw that morning, that was still on his mind, he was wondering if Superman would accept his invitation.

Sure, he made a strange and even a little arrogant invitation, but that was the way he was, and if it were in a normal situation, he wouldn't care, but he didn't want to be on the bad side of what was probably the strongest being on the planet, if your calculations based on your deeds, how to rescue a plane, stop a genocide in a country in Africa, save hundreds or thousands from a tsunami in Japan, prevent the fall of a bridge in Brazil and other things that left the world in awe, were correct, the guy had the power of 'God' and if he is self-proclaimed himself a god, Tony thinks that there would be few people in the world who would challenge him, and even with all that power, the boy still tried to help as much as possible, doing everything to help people, that impressed Tony, he didn't think he would be so noble if he had these powers...

While Tony thought, drinking his orange juice, something that surprised Clark a little, who realized what the drink was by smell. Clark approached the building's window, something that took Stark out of his stupor, Tony looked up with his jaw almost dropping in shock until he smiled and hurriedly walked to the window and said "You came!" Clark smiled "well, Mr Stark, you made me such a 'polite' invitation, and I thought it was rude to refuse, so I came" Clark said playfully.

"Good mood, I like that" Tony said as he laughed a little "Unfortunately I don't have an entrance on this floor" said Tony and added "something I intend to implement immediately" said Tony quietly. "No problem, I'll get in the elevator" said clark "no, this will only attract unwanted attention" said Tony as he walked away from the window "break the window, throw one of your punches and come in, don't worry, I was wanting change really"

<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">"quebre a janela, dê um de seus socos e entre, não se preocupe, eu estava querendo mudar de verdade " </font></font>Tony said while taking a sip of his juice, without taking his eyes off Clark, "Mr Stark, that…" "Call me Tony and don't worry boy, do you think I'm too poor to worry about a window? Just enter soon "

Clark hesitated a little and approached the window a little, but instead of punching, he released his heat vision with low energy, enough to pass through the bulletproof glass, which made Tony's eyes widen in shock. he already knew that Clark had this power, he saw him using that power to weld the bridge long enough to evacuate the population, but seeing it live was something else entirely.

After making a hole in the glass, Clark came in and looked around, and was surprised by the luxury of the place, which did not go unnoticed by Tony, who smiled and thought 'so he never saw such luxury, ein' Tony approached him and said "well, I'm Tony Stark, as you know, and you're kal-el, the Kryptonian immigrant"

Clark smiled when he heard that, she was not wrong, but when he spoke like that it made it seem strange.

"Yes, I'm a huge fan, your research on nanotechnology made me lose nights of sleep when I was in elementary school"

Tony looked at him in surprise and said "So did you go to school on earth?" "I was raised here. Despite being Kryptonian, I was raised on earth by the kindest people I have ever met," Clark said.

Tony looked deeply at Clark, thinking about something, when he said "well, how about orange juice ?, I would offer a whiskey, ignoring your age, after all, you are not human. But you came at a bad time, a thief stole all my drinks "and that statement was countered by a somewhat robotic voice" it was not a thief, sir, Miss Potts who took your drinks "

"Oh, you decided to show up, you little traitor," said Tony.

Clark looked everywhere as he activated his x-ray vision, looking for the voice owner when he heard "hello, Superman, or Kal-el. I'm Jarvis, an artificial intelligence responsible for managing the Stark Tower, it's a pleasure to meet you it "

Clark looked at Tony, who took a sip of the juice, amused by the expression on Clark's face.

"Do you have an AI?" Clark whispered to Tony, hoping Jarvis wouldn't hear "well, I have. I built Jarvis in 2003, in honor of a friend of my dad's"

Clark waved and said, "It's nice to meet you, Jarvis." To which I.A made a noise as if nodding. "I think I accept some juice.…"

Tony and Clark talked for a while, each talking about their experiences and thoughts about life, when a noise from the elevator made them both look at a blonde woman leaving and almost screaming "Tony, you won't believe it, Superman was seen broken into her jane… "She stopped talking when she saw Clark looking at her with curiosity and a little fun" well, in my defense it was Tony who asked me to come in the window, I wanted to get in the elevator "said clark, finding it a little amused his expression of astonishment.

"Peppers, how did you know that" Tony asked

Coming out of his stupor, but still staring at Clark, Peppers took out his cell phone and showed Tony a video showing Clark using his window heat view and entering.

Tony put his hand on his face and said, "It looks like going in through the window didn't do any good" Clark waved and said "Well, it's getting late, Tony, And I have to work tomorrow. Miss Peppers, it's a pleasure to meet you. See you around, Tony "said Clark, and faster than a bullet, he went out through the hole he made in the window.

Pepper was looking in disbelief at what he saw, only after a while she looked at Tony angrily and said "Tony, why did you call me Pepper in front of the superman? Now he thinks my name is Pepper" Tony drank his juice, and said "well, who told me to steal my drinks" and went to the workshop, laughing. This conversation with Superman gave you a great idea, gave you a goal...
