that's not me.

Whether memory can also be transformed into a kind of "energy" in a macro sense, Timothy thinks this question is worth studying.

Maybe it's just because he happened to be in another timeline in this space built by five-dimensional tools, so when he disappeared in the future, all the memories flooded into another younger body as if he had found a home. Body.

He disappeared without a sound, and just when he realized that what he saw in the five-dimensional space was an illusion created by Helena, the next second, he felt his body change.

The future Timothy has always understood that he is running a life-and-death race against time and the objective rules of three-dimensional space-time.

Timothy is not sentimental or regretful. After many anti-rule time and space travels, being backlashed and "cleared" is the ending that will inevitably happen to him.

In comparison, his thinking did not dissipate, but merged into his young self, which can almost be called a surprise.

The fusion was so natural that 16-year-old Tim accepted almost instantly what had happened to him—and his mission, all about that once-disastrous future, and all about changing Helena's life. mission.

"I need more explanation."

Tim's thoughts were interrupted by a cold male voice from his side.He turned his head and saw Jason, who was only 20 years old, alive and kicking, feeling a little sentimental and nostalgic for a moment.

Jason was taken aback by Tim's suddenly emotional gaze.

There are too many anti-natural events in this family, whether it is magic or science that has not yet been understood, members including Tim have long been used to it, so he believes that Jason is very good at five dimensions, timelines, and the universe. Enemy Brainiac will certainly not make a fuss.

Just as Jason himself is now in an unstable state compared to Super Mario who ate mushrooms, fluctuating from big to small, flickering, he is not used to it.

However, Tim wished so much that he could also have Brainiac's five-dimensional tool now, directly allowing Jason to feel all the memories and emotions in them at the same time.

And now it seems that he can only... use complicated language to tell Jason the true story that happened in the future and the past.

Maybe it's because the 16-year-old Tim's thinking is also there, and he is in charge, so he immediately denied the idea of ​​​​concealment. Even, if he and Jason are lucky enough to find the future Helena and leave this space, his first time Will tell Bruce everything in a moment.

Be honest with each other, right now, by telling Jason everything.

*****************************

Tim swore he hadn't seen a similar level of "life skepticism" on Jason's face until he'd finished his narrative as succinctly as possible.

In the future he knew, Jason was 29 years old when he found ten-year-old Helena that year. This decade has become more and more entrenched.

"I think I need to smoke a cigarette to calm down..." Jason frowned tightly, leaning against the front cover of the dilapidated Batmobile, the faint anger in his voice was directed at whom, "Ha, I don't have anything on me." .do you have?"

However, Jason happened to be turning into seven or eight years old at this time, a little boy with a stinking face asking for a cigarette, which seemed contrary to harmony,

Neither the young Tim nor the future adult had the habit of smoking, but he knew Jason didn't either, so he could only shake his head.

Jason, who had no smoke to calm down, could only take a deep breath, as if he was about to exhale the stale air of two lifetimes, his arms were crossed on his chest, and the wrinkles between his brows were getting deeper and deeper.

He didn't realize how quickly he accepted that his legal brother merged the memories of two lifetimes (after confirming that the original Tim was still there), and was mentally as old as the old guy; The complex situation in the future has been solved; because at this moment, for him, there is one thing that escapes his cognition.

——What happened to them, how did they cultivate a little girl into the will of the world?

——No, he refused to believe that the cute and innocent little dumpling would grow into a rebellious girl!

By comparison, a tentacle-octopus-loving alien attacking Earth becomes acceptable.

"Aren't you and the old guy keen on disciplining others?" He snorted, "Why, if a twisted devil like Damian can be broken back, a daughter won't be raised?!"

Tim just wants to roll his eyes at this, hehe, as if you in that timeline know how to talk to little girls.

No, you won't now, Jason, a ten-year-old girl can scare you away!

Jason choked on Tim's words... Well, a half-aged, adolescent girl is indeed a terrifying creature for a straight steel man like him, chattering, extremely emotional, harder than a cat understand……

Especially the girl who actually has child soldier experience.

As long as Jason simply put himself into such a background, he can fully imagine that he in the future timeline must also run away for the first time, avoiding direct contact with the little girl intentionally or unintentionally.

Regarding that Helena, Jason knew as much as Tim did—as elders, they were all to blame.

For a while, the two were speechless.

Jason stared at his "frame-dropping" feet, and looked around at the empty streets, "So...what's this? Let me go back to my miserable childhood? Give me an illusory chance to start over, and watch me break down? "

After saying this, Jason thought for a while and found that it was difficult to compare who was worse, he or the future Helena.

They are all unqualified older brothers. This didn't work, but the old guy failed a child again.

In particular, Bruce is a real father to the future Helena.

She must be even more disappointed than him.

Regarding Jason's guess, Tim shook his head, "This has nothing to do with psychological shock, no, it's more... purposeful. She finds your most unforgivable and most regrettable experience, and uses the opportunity to return to the past Or to create such an illusion, give you the right to choose, give you the power to change history, not only can you be trapped in a cycle, but also make your choice an opportunity for a parallel universe, disrupting time Line...Think about Barry's mistake in creating the Flashpoint universe, but this time, there are infinitely many similar universes that shouldn't exist..."

"It's not just us here, there are also some randomly selected ordinary people," Tim went on to explain: "But none of them can resist the temptation to correct the past, we are all eager for regret medicine..."

Tim continued to explain to Jason the complex mechanism of finding the real future Helena in this space, but Jason suddenly stopped replying or nodding, but stared straight ahead with serious eyes.

"We don't need to track her down, she will find us by herself," he said in a low voice, "No, it should be said to find me, I guess I am a virus, and she needs to get rid of it."

Following Jason's gaze, Tim also looked in front of the two, and saw a figure he was very familiar with at the end of the originally deserted street—thin but hidden strength, beautiful but deadly...

This was the last Helena he saw before he embarked on time travel.

Without Tim's explanation, Jason could guess that this determined and indifferent figure belonged to their final opponent on this trip, the future Helena who should have disappeared with the rewriting of the timeline.

(He didn't want to use the word "enemy.")

As the girl approached step by step, the streets and buildings on both sides of her footsteps shattered like glass, and Jason and Tim were in a kaleidoscope.

Sure enough, the streets around them were fake...

****************************

Bruce, who was still working overtime in the watchtower, didn't know that his adopted son and the daughter of another universe were confronting each other in the five-dimensional space.

Due to Clark's surprise appearance, Bruce temporarily decided that Superman would take his daughter back to Gotham first. The Justice League's space base was closed for three days, and there were many tasks that required him to come forward to coordinate—for example, he had to be Batman. Make a formal statement to all members. In Clark's words, this is called "project summary", "personnel recognition", which can play a motivating role.

(Although Clark doesn't expect the Dark Knight to "motivate"...he just hopes Bruce doesn't make the newest member cry.)

Normally, this is usually the "face project" of Superman, the chairman of the alliance, but after a few times, Batman thought that Superman's words were too sensational, completely missed the point, and was very inefficient, so he cruelly took over the job.

The new godfather was overjoyed to receive such a solemn task when he just took office.

I don’t know if Baby Helena understands that she suddenly has a godfather. Anyway, when Clark’s big hand stretched out, she grinned sweetly, and stretched out her hands for the first time in a hug—this is A new skill just revealed by a six-month-old.

The heart of the new godfather melted. He never expected that a small paw would grab his mouth and almost poke his nostrils in the next second...

A few months ago, holding baby Helena was like hugging a log, but now she is like an octopus, and she is also very active when hugging, with little hands greeting her face from all directions.

Clark: "It's okay... I'm fine..."

The old father who sent away his daughter worked efficiently, so in just a few minutes, all members of the Justice League received a real-time video call on their alliance communicators.

In the video, the expressionless Batman first briefly summarized the general situation of the past few days, and severely criticized Hal Jordan's behavior of not charging. Finally, based on the severe global security situation, "We still face challenges. "And finish.

Hey, wait, this doesn't seem to be the last...

The alliance members who were accustomed to Batman's lecturing style were about to turn off the communication, but they were puzzled when they saw the black bat ears still standing in the video call.

As usual, Batman will turn off the communication first and the black screen will disappear...not a second is wasted.

I saw that Batman hesitated to speak (? Isn't it... read it wrong...)

"In the past three days, the alliance has maintained almost normal operations, and you... um... did a good job."

Everyone: ...? ? ? ! ! !

What did we hear?

Inside, there was a strange silence for a few seconds.

Barry, who couldn't wait, spoke first, "Ron, is that you, Martian Manhunter? Are you pretending to be Bruce again?"

The others showed suddenly enlightened expressions because of Barry's words.

Barry continued, "Just... I told you before, when you're playing Bruce, don't encourage people to..."

"Too fake."

This statement has been unanimously approved by everyone.

Because of Barry's words, the air pressure around the Dark Knight in the video seemed to be even lower... Finally, with a wave of his cloak, he left.

The voice of Martian Manhunter Ron En came slowly at this moment, "That's not me."

"I think that's Bruce himself."

Crowd: ...

Dick cleared his throat and awkwardly stood up for his old father, "Ahem...it's not difficult to understand. Batman...uh...he's been reading books about encouraging education recently. Something like 'positive discipline'. "

Everyone: Oh!I see!

Everyone: Wait a minute... I always feel that something is wrong...

—Are we being treated as children by Batman?
