Chapter 448 The Raven hit a straight shot!

Chapter 448 The Raven hit a straight shot!

Tony slowly and laboriously raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the others, some surprised, some shocked, before finally looking at Rune who had emerged from the portal.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment.

The sadness and exhaustion on his face vanished in an instant. Tony stood in the completely silent hall, his lips trembling several times before he finally managed to squeeze out a name from deep in his throat.

"—Rune?"

"I'm sorry, yes, I'm sorry, it's all my fault—" Rune said helplessly to the heroes who were about to leave.

This is indeed his own problem. After he reached an agreement with Morpheus, Rune could have returned to explain his whereabouts, but he was still thinking about things using his past ways of thinking.

Back then, the Kents basically didn't care where he went. Rune only needed to ask Jonathan or Martha to help him ask for leave once, and they would agree immediately. Clark didn't have that kind of treatment.

He even has a curfew!

This future Superman often complained to Rune about this unfair treatment. If he came home even a few minutes late, his parents would interrogate him for a long time.

And what about Rune? Whether he goes to another world or simply studies magic at home, the Kents don't care about him.

Why worry about it? Rune has excellent grades, earns a lot of money, and doesn't even need them to cook. The Kents couldn't be more at ease with Rune.

But Rune forgot that he hadn't invited the Kents this time, but other superheroes and a few supervillains. Even if the tech-savvy superheroes didn't understand the power of the magical surge, the magic-savvy heroes would explain it to them.

Therefore, almost all the heroes believed that Rune had been burned to ashes in the magical surge.

The last to leave were Logan and Constantine. These two seemed to dislike each other on the surface, but in reality, they had become a well-coordinated team, except for the occasional time when Constantine would impersonate Logan and collect his share of the payment.

"You're a real succubus!" Constantine rolled his eyes. "Even I can't guarantee I'd survive after toying with so many superhuman emotions."

Wolverine was speechless. "I don't think so. Can't you do it too? Besides, aren't you setting a bad example for children by talking like that?"

Constantine grinned at Logan. What kid? Rune is definitely an adult by now!

All of this was unspoken, but in the Kents' eyes—why were these two exchanging glances? They seemed gay.

It's so gay-ish —

However, Logan still patted Rune on the shoulder, "It's good to see you alive, but remember to tell us where you are next time, okay?"

Rune nodded. His handsome appearance and sincere apology made most of the superheroes quickly forgive the child for his momentary lapse.

but----

Rune turned to look inside Stark Tower.

Not everyone forgives themselves.

Stark, Raven, and Clark were watching a Marvel Cinematic Universe film with their backs to him. Without even looking at their expressions, Rune knew that the three of them were angry with him.

The Kents were probably angry too, but there were other people around, so they couldn't vent their anger. However, Rune would probably get a scolding when he got home.

Oh well, let them scold us if they want. Let's get these three guys back first.

After sending his adoptive parents home and sincerely apologizing to them, he returned to Stark Hall and sat down with the three men.

Rune watched a movie with the three of them, and just as he was about to say something, Stark got up and changed the movie again. During this process, he only asked Clark and Raven for their opinions, completely ignoring Rune.

Rune could only watch as the other three discussed the movie enthusiastically, eventually deciding to choose a comedy from the genres of horror and action.

Over the next few hours, the three guys also ordered popcorn, pizza, and all sorts of snacks, but of course, Rune got none.

After watching four movies, Rune finally said, "Are you done? We should go back now—"

"No need to go back," Tony said.

"But Jonathan and the others are worried—"

"What are you worried about?" Tony raised an eyebrow. "Are you worried I'll throw them a fake funeral too, that's bad luck, right?"

Rune's reply seemed to open Stark's floodgates, and all sorts of sarcasm and veiled insults refreshed the mage's vocabulary. Rune had never heard so many sarcastic remarks before, and there were even some words he didn't recognize.

But who can blame me for this being my own fault? I guess I'll just have to accept it.

Stark, acting as the mouthpiece for Raven, Clark, and almost everyone whose feelings were manipulated by Rune, berated Rune for a good ten minutes, while Rune simply apologized sincerely and promised it wouldn't happen again.

This tactic is highly effective against both the professors at Hogwarts and the superhero Stark.

Finally, Stark punched Rune in the chest.

"—There won't be a next time, okay?" Stark said, pulling a small box from his pocket. "Here!"

"What is this?" Rune asked somewhat dazedly, his mental focus somewhat lapsed after being scolded for the past ten minutes.

"A coming-of-age ceremony!" Stark said impatiently. "I thought I'd never be able to give one in my lifetime."

As he spoke, Tony patted Clark and Raven on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I've prepared Raven's coming-of-age ceremony, and I'll make sure Clark gets another one. It'll definitely be better than that clueless bastard's!"

Rune pursed his lips. How should he put it? He was quite touched. In his previous life, he was an orphan living in a place where, not only was there no custom of giving coming-of-age gifts, but even if there were, no one would give them to him.

Now, he finally received a gift, which made Rune feel that the little box was very heavy.

Thank you, I'm glad you remembered.

Tony rolled his eyes.

Back home, Rune was scolded by the Kents again. Compared to Stark's style, their words were more direct, and Martha even started crying as they spoke.

Ultimately, they made a request.

If Rune wants to take leave again in the future, he will need to explain the reason in detail. If he cannot satisfy the Kents, they will not agree to let Rune go out, and they will not go to the school to cover for him.

They knew, of course, that they couldn’t really control Rune, but they had to at least make their stance clear.

When Clark went back to his room to sleep, he rubbed his cousin's face to make sure it wasn't a dream before returning to his own room, completely satisfied.

In the past, it was always me who got scolded by my parents for showing off my wealth or spending too much time out. Now it's finally Rune's turn!

Ahahahaha!

Rune reluctantly went to his room, intending to lie down on the bed, but the raven was still holding onto his hand tightly.

"Sweetie, you should go back to your room and sleep now."

The raven simply shook its head and then muttered something under its breath.

"What?" Rune blinked. "I didn't hear you. Can you say it again?"

Raven repeated his words, but his voice was too soft for even Rune's extrasensory perception to pick up. He had to crouch down to try and hear clearly.

As a result, the raven simply kissed him.
