Superman

Barry was finally convinced that he was back, rewriting Flashpoint's mistakes and undoing them.

"Just, what about Luke?"

The Flash tried his best to remember, he clearly remembered that Krypton's cousin was with him, but then disappeared.

Did any accident happen during this period?

"Hiss, my head started to hurt again."

He took a deep breath, his head aching slightly.

This is the sequelae of memory fusion.

What you see and hear in the two time and space collides with each other.

The old ones will be overwritten by the new ones, just like a game save.

Barry also encountered this situation in Flashpoint World.

The longer he stays there, the faster he will forget everything about the time and space of the main universe.

"It's better to finish the task assigned to me by Dr. Wayne."

Barry's doubts only lasted for a moment, and he remembered that he still had an "express delivery" that he hadn't delivered.

The red afterimage flashed past and disappeared into the apartment.

Moments later, he appears in the Batcave.

While the memory has not completely disappeared, Flash needs to explain the ins and outs of the matter to Batman clearly.

Compared with Dr. Wayne's dilapidated base, Bruce's lair is much more magnificent.

The monitor array with hundreds of high-definition screen splicing allows Batman to have a panoramic view of every street and every corner of Gotham.

Huge and eye-catching mechanical dinosaurs, various high-tech props, the Batmobile like a tank, and the uniforms of Batman and Robin...

Seeing these familiar things, Barry felt a sense of security in his heart.

All this is not a dream, but reality.

"Gift?"

Batman said in the husky voice of his father, who had terminal throat cancer: "I don't have the habit of celebrating holidays, and Christmas was a long time ago."

Bruce didn't know why Barry came to visit suddenly, and even prepared a special gift. Is this some kind of activity within the Justice League?

Or a boring prank?

The Flash and the Green Lantern, in order to enliven the atmosphere of the team, they often come up with some... inconspicuous games.

For example, regarding his choice of Catwoman, it was Thalia's bet--Batman knew it a long time ago, and silently recorded those who participated in his small notebook.

Plus, he's relieved that Superman isn't a part of it.

Clark is still relatively stable. If the other party can lift the plane, rescue the cat trapped in the tree, and spend the time of dating Louise Lane in fighting criminals, it will be better in handling international disputes.

Batman alone handles most of the watchtower's work.

He calls the shots, and Superman and the rest carry them out.

Clear and complete division of labor and cooperation.

"Trust me, this gift means a lot to you."

The Flash didn't know it at all, he had already entered Batman's little book, and continued: "But before that, I have to tell you a story, a story that actually happened..."

Ten minutes later, Barry casually picked up the black tea brought by the butler Alfred, and took two gulps to relieve the dryness of his throat.

He said it all, and then didn't get it, seeing Batman have an extra display of emotion.

The other party still had that indifferent, calm expression on his face, and he couldn't see any surprises or... inner activities.

Too serious.

Barry thought silently.

"The whole world changed because you tried to stop your mother from being murdered..."

Bruce crossed his hands on the table and propped his chin, as if thinking about something.

"True. And that world was almost on the brink of destruction before I corrected my mistake."

The Flash added.

"So everything is back to 'normal' now?"

Batman frowned, he didn't like the feeling of being out of control.

A crisis really happened, but I didn't find the slightest clue.

This is not a good sign!

"Your vigilance and sense of crisis have dropped, Bruce Wayne!"

Batman thought so.

He is strict with others, but he is also unrelenting in himself.

With the insecurities growing deep inside him, Batman decides it's time to update his plans.

"should be."

What Barry didn't realize was that his few words had a huge impact on Batman.

The Flash would be intimidated to know that the Justice League's mind was renewing its backup plan for dealing with a crisis.

After all, there are bloody lessons from before. The Legion of Destruction attacked the Justice League, and almost wiped out the latter.

The method used by the villain is exactly the "defense plan" formulated by Batman.

That time, the Justice League was seriously injured.

"Don't blame yourself too much, Barry."

Batman's brain is always turning faster than ordinary people. After a simple reflection, he rarely began to comfort the Flash.

"If I had power like yours, I would definitely try the same thing."

The two gunshots in the crime alley are still a dark nightmare hidden deep in Bruce's heart.

If he can change that tragedy without causing other negative effects, he can give everything for it.

It's a pity that I can't change it.

"Thank you. Although I returned successfully, there was a person who was traveling with me, but he disappeared."

Barry finally remembered the disappearing Kryptonian cousin, and said to the bat: "His name is Luke, and he is Superman's cousin—speaking of which, how many survivors are there on Krypton?"

"I thought that Clark had only one Kryptonian relative, Kara."

Batman's eyes suddenly became sharp!

He subconsciously pursed his lips, showing an extremely subtle emotional reaction.

Another Kryptonian?

That's what Batman is all about.

He didn't care how many relatives and friends Clark had.

If those Kryptonians come to Earth and become something as powerful as Superman, it will have unforeseen and serious consequences.

Not every Kryptonian, like Clark or Kara, chose to integrate into the human world and accept the assimilation of civilization.

For example, General Zod before.

"Maybe I should go to Lex Luthor and find a way to get the formula for synthetic kryptonite in his hand."

Although the friendship (basic love) between Batman and Superman is unshakable.

However, this is not contrary to his increasing kryptonite storage and targeting the opponent.

Friendship belongs to friendship, and responsibility is responsibility.

Batman, who is as cold and rational as a machine, has always been very clear.

Superman's big cousin...

He wrote this down in his notebook too.

"Are you sure that... the Kryptonian, didn't he get off the car early, or was thrown somewhere else?"

Batman said quietly.

"Not sure. That's why I'm asking you for help. Batman needs someone who can always be found no matter where he hides."

It was rare for The Flash to say a beautiful word.

"Then you draw a portrait later, and then I will use the watchtower system to conduct a global search to see if I can find the target."

Batman is indifferent, meaningless praise will not make the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

"Okay, the story about Flashpoint is over, and it's time for your gift to be brought out."

Barry silently put the letter on the table, and then a gust of air gently brushed over Batman's mask, and the red figure standing in front of him had already left.

At such an important moment, no one else should be present.

Batman frowned slightly, as if thinking of something.

He waited for a few seconds before slowly reaching out to pick up the "gift".

Open the envelope, unfold the folded paper—

"Dear son:

There is only one thing I know about life.

I know that some things happen by chance and others we make.

Barry Allen has been haunted by the past.

But since becoming The Flash, he's put those unpleasant memories behind him.

He found true love, family, and friends.

Barry thinks he has escaped from the shadow of the past, but some people will not let him escape the cruel reality.

When Barry came to me for help, I turned him down.

I am not the main character of this story.

I'm just a human being corrupted by my own intolerable pain.

I'm just a guy who has blood on his hands and is called a good guy.

I'm a person who has no nostalgia for life..."

When Batman saw the last line of words - "Always loved your father, Thomas Wayne", his iceberg expression that hadn't changed for thousands of years finally loosened.

Some say it's hard to imagine Batman laughing.

But compared to that, it is even more unimaginable that Batman will cry.

The tall, pitch-black figure took off his hood and stared at the letter that spanned time and space for a long, long time.

……

……

United Kingdom.

London.

A museum.

Diana cleans the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon in ancient Greece with professional brushes.

She has many identities. She is Wonder Woman of the Justice League, a diplomatic ambassador sent by Paradise Island, and a well-known collector and connoisseur of historical relics in the industry.

"Ms. Prince, did you have anything to do last weekend?"

The young professors who worked together took the initiative to find topics. Beautiful women in this line of work are rare creatures.

A perfect woman as rich, beautiful, and intelligent as Diana is even rarer.

Although I heard that the suitors of the other party are in an endless stream, enough to form a long queue.
