Marvel’s Speedsters

“Hiss—-”

The kettle on the kitchen gas agency desperately made a shrill sound, trying to remind the owner that the hot water had boiled, but its owner, Louise Lane, looked thoughtfully at the TV screen in the living room, and her thoughts had already drifted thousands of miles away, to the powerful and mysterious man with whom she had had several contacts.

“I am General Zod, from a distant world who came here across the sea of stars. You have hidden a man from my planet, and I ask you to place this person under my custody. For unknown reasons, he chooses to hide his whereabouts, he tries to blend in with you, looks like you, but he is not one of you… The future of the earth is in your hands, and I have a limit of 24 hours to meet my requirements, otherwise the consequences will be borne by all earthlings…”

Accompanied by countless twinkling snowflake spots, an indifferent, flat to creepy voice echoed in the living room.

This is a video being replayed on TV, half an hour ago, it dominated all bands of signals without warning, whether it was the desolate and remote Gobi Desert, or the bustling business district of the bustling city, from the Old World to the New World, the whole world was monopolized by this ultimatum that swept all the mainstream languages and scripts of the earth, and then the fishing boats of various countries were in an uproar, and the shocking thing was not only that, after the guidance of many experts, Only then did the public notice that a giant alien spacecraft was floating outside Touding’s atmosphere.

The kettle’s harsh screech finally woke up its owner, and Louise absentmindedly closed the air valve, then poured piping hot boiling water into the glass where the tea was bagged, and as she bowed her head, her wavy blonde hair fell over her shoulders and gently swayed in front of the plump xiong.

Backhanded, she pulled her long hair back behind her ear and pulled a ponytail by the way, so Louise changed back to her usual crisp and capable female reporter appearance.

“…… This alien hider should be Superman, we don’t know anything about him, don’t we, if he really has no intention of harming us, he should turn himself in to his people and face the consequences, but if he doesn’t, or we should take action to expel him… Didn’t Louise Lane of the Daily Planet report on him, she should know who this guy is, I think everyone should ask her…”

In the face of a random interview by reporters on the street, a young man wearing glasses clearly expressed his opinion, and the guests of the TV station also echoed, hearing their cold remarks, Louise’s long eyelashes involuntarily fluttered a few times, she did not expect that a hero who was eager to help others was so quickly betrayed by his selfless protected citizens, and even implicated herself!

While the TV interviewee was still boasting on the screen, her cell phone at the table rang.

“Hello？” Forced to endure the irritation and anger in her heart, Louise picked up her mobile phone and listened.

“Are you watching Fox News, you hear what this bastard is saying, all the media will be full of similar opinions tonight, but I agree with this guy, do you know the details of Superman?” Opposite is her newspaper boss, black editor Perry White, who also wants to find traces of Superman from Louise, after all, she is the only media worker who has reported on Superman positively.

“Nope! I was about to leave for Midtown when I heard that the Flash there had encountered enemies and that a riot of superpowers had broken out. Louise categorically denied it, making up her mind that no clues would be revealed.

was ruthlessly rejected by his subordinates, and White on the other side of the microphone was furious.

“his superpowers, the world is facing an alien threat, and at this critical moment you are going to that remote place in Midtown to interview a group of inconspicuous little people, what is the Flash compared to Superman? Do you know how serious it is, Louise! The FBI has already gone to you, they have come to the office and used words like treason…”

White’s roar chattered in the microphone, but Louise was already aware of | that she was in danger, she quickly came to the window, cautiously looked outside the building, and happened to see a group of cars coming from far and near, aggressively parked under the apartment building she rented, and then dozens of men in black came out of the car one after another.

“Oops…”

Louise’s pupils shrank slightly, her heart couldn’t help but beat wildly, just when she was about to quickly pack up important items and quietly slip away from the fire escape, she suddenly noticed that something seemed to pass in front of her, and the two dazzling lights outside the window flashed away, and then her eardrums buzzed, and the air flow shook the wall, as if the whole person passed by a high-speed train in an unguarded situation, and the howling storm mixed with invisible sound waves instantly filled her mouth and nose, making her chuan suffocated.

“Crackle!”

Finally broke free from Xiong’s dizziness, and before Louise, who covered her mouth and coughed repeatedly, came back to her senses, the crisp explosions that rose and fell in her ears one after another, she watched the smooth and solid glass surface of the building window continue to show spiderweb-like cracks, and as the cracks spread rapidly, finally the glass window turned into countless crystal fragments of different sizes, like a swirling rain of light from high in the sky to the ground.

Louise was bold, and looked out again with the wind outside the window, and as she expected, the group of black-clothed men below the building who may have come to arrest her were caught off guard, and were smashed all over by the glass shards that fell from the sky, and they dodged in all directions in embarrassment, and for a while they could no longer care about organizing the encirclement and arrest work.

Secretly rejoicing, her gaze moved, and two blue lightning bolts of similar colors traveled on the surface of skyscrapers at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to capture under the light of the setting sun, circling and chasing for a moment, and disappearing in the distance of the skyline of tall buildings in a blink of an eye.

“Louise, Louise! What voice over there, do you hear me? Compared with the Flash in Midtown, the Metropolis’s supertalent is the focus of your attention, don’t get yourself in trouble! When she withdrew her gaze, White’s voice was still shouting admonitions through her cellphone.

“I don’t know where Superman is, but the Flash just ran past me, and it’s two at a time, I’ll contact you when I find a clue!” Hastily hanging up the call, Louise quickly disappeared from her apartment.

***

Ross won’t know that he once skimmed out the window of Louise’s apartment, he chased Hunter Zorromon all the way from Midtown to the Metropolis area, during which the two fought many times, and never had a chance to decide the victory, compared with the reverse lightning who had no understanding of Ross before, this speedster from Earth Two was more prepared, maybe he was not as cunning and wise as Swan, but he was more crazy and unscrupulous, dealing with such a reckless guy, it was not so easy to quickly catch his flaws.

Covered in lightning, two hazy black shadows rushed through the middle of the avenue, and the oncoming car drivers did not have time to distinguish what they saw, only knew that something hit their heads, but did not produce a substantial collision, just when their bodies were stiff and instinctively dodged, the two black shadows had already left them far behind, and the ensuing turbulent air flow set off a storm of dust that stretched for miles above the road.

“Squeak—- bang!” From block to block, similar brakes crash sounds endlessly.

The tires rubbed | the ground fierce|ly, deeply imprinted with countless scorched brake marks, and the endless roads were disturbed by two speeders passing at full speed, although it was not yet the peak traffic | hours, but hundreds of car accidents occurred one after another, still blocking most of the urban area.

Although the outside world changes dras|tically, the world in Ross and Hunter’s eyes is almost motionless.

Cars desperately dodging, terrified drivers, dead yellow leaves floating along the airflow, sunset rays falling diagonally above orange-red, pedestrians screaming on the street…

The material world, which was originally evolving infinitely every minute and second, seemed to be frozen by some force at this moment, and time seemed to form a fault, to save this scene forever to the end of history.

Not far away, a traffic policeman wearing a yellow-| reflective vest was raising a megaphone with his left hand to loudly maintain order, and his right hand was waving vigorously at the crowd on the street, his expression and gestures were silently frozen in the air.

A playful golden Labrador puppy has a thin dog chain around its neck, two towering paws on the ground to support its body, and the other two have just lifted and are about to move forward, also frozen at this time.

Even at this moment, even the invisible air turned into a transparent liquid |, so that when the two of Ross passed by, they left a faint trail behind them.

In this near-static world, only two speedsters are still moving freely.

The arms collided, lightning of different shades burst violently, and as the huge | of the reaction force returned along the limb, Ross’s body shook slightly, and then the impact was removed, but Hunter on the other side was not so easy, although he had tried his best to avoid confrontation with his opponent head-on, this inevitable blow still knocked him out, as if an invisible big hand grabbed his neck, causing him to retreat at high speed in an unimaginable posture.

Before he could fall back to the ground, Hunter twisted his body in mid-air, then touched the ground with both feet, turned into streamers and continued to run wildly.

Ross did not give him the slightest room to relax, and also turned into a blue light and chased after him.

It was not until the two left the scene that the world returned to normal, and the originally stiff and motionless crowd traffic suddenly moved, and there was a brief chaos for a while, and many people looked at each other, but they couldn’t tell what they had encountered.

Then they heard a series of rapid | explosions on the side of the road in the distance, and the two speedsters rushed through the entire city in an instant.
