Canterlot, Geert's Cafe, Covin, who arrived early, was also sitting there, drinking the café's signature theme coffee, The Flash Coffee, while also using his mobile phone to flip through the information about Nora Allen, that is, the mother of Barry Allen, whom he knew. The memory in his mind was washed away, but the death knell, as well as the stability taught by Dick, were engraved into the DNA, although it was just a simple answer to questions, but the strange feeling in the morning also made Ke Wen confess, maybe today, will be different.

With this in mind, Ke Wen did all the homework he could, and then looked at the post-it note with his own handwriting, and was in a daze.

At the same time, at Barry's parents' house, Barry, who arrived early, also rang the doorbell of his parents' house. Looking at this door, and the footsteps coming from behind the door, Barry's expression was also a little stunned, as long as it is after today, everything will be different, parents are still their parents, they are no longer Flash, their friends, will have a happy life, he really saved everyone, in an instant.

It's just that in his heart, there has always been a voice telling himself that this is wrong, wrong. It's just that this voice is too small for Barry, especially when he hears his mother's voice behind the door, and the voice that said in his heart that it was all wrong is even more silent, and the door opens, and is divided by the alien Drive, replicating Barry's strong longing for his deceased mother, and a perfect Nora Allen is standing in the doorway.

"Hey, Barry, what's wrong with coming here so early?"

Looking at the mother in front of him, Barry's hesitation just now also took it back, for him who has mastered the power of divine speed and the power of the sage, changing his face is faster than turning a book, which is a normal operation.

"Oh, Mom, remember when I called you the day before yesterday and said that a journalist friend I know was doing an interview about the changes in Canterlot, interviewing young people like me, but he wanted to know what the generation from the most glorious days of the last century to the present day thought of Canterlot, so I recommended you to him."

"Ah, I remember, then you have to wait, I'll go talk to your father, and then, let your mother and me change clothes."

"Mom, it's just an interview." Regarding his mother's seriousness in this matter, Barry couldn't help but complain helplessly.

"But your mother and I also want to wear beautiful, don't underestimate a girl's attention in this regard, your mother is a beautiful girl who will always be eighteen~"

"Yes, yes, I'll be waiting for you in the car."

Barry was helpless about his mother's sudden playfulness, so he could only go back to the car and watch the time pass on his watch. Soon, the door of his parents opened again, and his mother, Nora Allen, also changed into her favorite dress and walked out, and Barry was also stunned when she noticed her mother's dress, pale yellow dress, fluffy hair, this is when he was eleven years old, Mother's Day, when his mother died, it was like a dream.

Because now Nora Allen is in front of her, alive, and no one in Canterlot remembers the murder that happened eleven years ago. After today, everything will start again, and you will be able to rest and not have to have the nightmare of waking yourself up in the middle of the night.

"How do I look?" Nora Allen asked, turning in front of her son.

"Honestly, great, I kind of knew that my dad would be fascinated by you, but why did you choose this one?"

"Because I'm going to see my baby son's friend, I have to make my baby son have a long face, and I remember that this is a birthday gift you bought for me with the pocket money you saved, I haven't worn it for a long time, and I saw it when I changed clothes, so I wore it."

"Okay, I've lost to you, let's go."

After his mother sat in the passenger seat, Barry started the car and set off towards the place agreed with Cowen, and half an hour later, he also came to the Geert Cafe in Canterlot City, and saw Cowen sitting by the window, waiting patiently. After pointing out Curvin to his mother, Barry let his mother go over on her own.

"Huh? Aren't you coming along? Barry? ”

"Well, I want to too, but I have to go back to the bureau to deal with some things, I'll pick you up after you talk, happy chat, Mom."

"This is my precious son."

After witnessing his mother, Ms. Nora Allen, enter the Geert Cafe, Barry drove away from Curvin and Nora Allen's sight. And as he had just told his mother, he did drive to the gate of the Canterlot police station, but stopped here, Barry did not enter the police station, his body shook violently, and disappeared into the air, silently.

This is the bug of the speed force, the violent shaking, it is Barry who is using the speed force to resonate his body, and then find the frequency of the air, and adjust the shaking frequency of his body to be consistent with the air, so that he can achieve the effect of invisibility, after all, you are all integrated into the air, how can others see you. Barry, who had melted into the air, looked in the direction of Geert's Cafe, and in a flash, he appeared next to Curwen and his mother, Nora Allen, negotiating.

At this time, he would not allow his plan to go wrong, even if he had determined that Ke Wen at this time was just a matter of pure curiosity, and he did not doubt the new memories and new identity he had created for him. And his own mother, it is even more impossible, the cleansing of the sage power can definitely make his mother have no memory of the day Ke Wen attacked them, this is a simple matter, he appeared here, just in case.

At this time, Curvin, who finally saw Nora Allen written on the post-it note, also introduced herself in front of this intellectual and elegant lady, and neither of them could notice that Barry, who was standing next to them and watching all this silently, was just chatting about what they wanted to know about each other. Curvin did fulfill his new identity as a reporter arranged by Barry at this time, where he asked Nora Allen about the changes in the city of Canterlot in the past half century.

As for Nora Allen, she is essentially a part of a mechanical lifeform that has spun off from the alien Drive, and a new life born out of Barry's deep longing for his deceased mother. But in Kamen Rider Drive, the weirdos called the Evil Road Equation have a trait that they will take what they think is most important from humans in their own cognitive way, and then let themselves complete the so-called final evolution.

This eventual evolution allows them to have the same appearance, richer emotions and powers as the humans they reproduced. As an alien Drive created by Dr. Manhattan's intervention in the experiment and plundering the power of the Drive of other knight universes, it naturally has the same gravitational acceleration field as Curwen's Drive, and also has the ability to differentiate the evil road equation, and the heterogeneous Drive itself can be understood as a collection of evil road equations.

Nora Allen, born under such circumstances, with the help of Barry's thoughts about his mother, perfectly replicated everything about it, including memory, and combined with Barry's sage power, it is naturally a living Nora Allen with the ability to think independently. Of course, he will be able to answer Kewen's series of questions about Canterlot's past.

And he also has his own understanding of these issues, and when he discusses, Nora Allen is a scholar in his own right, and his knowledge reserve in the humanities is naturally top-notch. Many times, it was Curvin who became the one who was asked, and Barry, who was watching all this in the air, also let go of some of the worries in his heart. But it's only partial, and he won't take it lightly until this chat is over.

"So, Ms. Nora Allen, thank you for taking the time to cooperate with my interview, but I have a few questions that you can answer or not answer that are not related to this interview." After recording the Q&A of the previous interview in a decent manner, Ke Wen also began to get to the point, and Barry, who was standing aside and blending into the air, also focused his attention because of Ke Wen's words, and in his body, he also began to have blue sage power surging.

As long as there is the slightest bit wrong in the conversation between Ke Wen and his mother, then he will use the power of the sage to brainwash Ke Wen again.

"Huh? I'm a little interested in the questions outside of the topic, you ask. ”

"Pardon me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, Lady Nora Allen, do you ever feel that the Canterlot you live in is a fake?"

"Huh? I don't understand your question, if it's false, then where do you think we are now? The Matrix? ”

Listening to the question raised by Cowen, Nora Allen's performance did not have any problem in Barry's eyes, indeed, when ordinary people heard such a question, they naturally showed confusion, or thought that the other party was joking, and asked back. His mother had no problem with this, the question was why Kewen would ask like this, Barry, who was thinking like this, melted into the air, and his hand that could not be seen with the naked eye, surging with sage power, approached the back of Kewen's head.

"No, not the Matrix, if that's the case, there should be a red pill and a blue pill in front of me. I don't know what to say, but I think an elder like you, who has lived from the glory days of Canterlot to the present, should be able to give me some insight. Don't you think Canterlot is so happy right now? Admittedly, it's true that Canterlot is crime-free now, and it's a great thing that there's no disorder, but as a city, it can be said that there are fewer crimes, but can it really be completely crime-free?

Even in the best days of your life, I don't think the citizens of Canterlot were so happy as they are now, I have lived here for three years, I should have been used to it, but now, when I look at the smiles of every citizen on the street, and the orderly street, I am terrified, because I feel that it is impossible to happen. ”

Ke Wen, who didn't know that he might be brainwashed at any time, was talking about how he felt since he saw the post-it note, the feeling that everything around him was illusory, and only he was real, which was terrifying. But the memory in my mind told me that it was all true, that I had been here for three years, and that I shouldn't feel this way. This sense of contradiction makes Cowen have to find an answer, and Nora Allen, who writes on a post-it note in her own handwriting, is the reason for finding the answer herself.

Behind Cowen's head, Barry, who melted into the air, was ready to use the sage power in his right hand, and in front of Cowen, Nora Allen was also drinking Flash-themed coffee. Looking at the latte art of the lightning bolt symbol in the cup, Nora Allen also smiled.

"I think you're more in need of relaxation, Mr. Curwen."

As soon as Nora Allen's calm words came out, Barry, who was already preparing to brainwash Curvin, stopped what he was doing. And Kewen, who urgently needed an answer, was also stunned by Nora Allen's rhetorical question.

"Yes, it's normal for you to have this kind of thought, 30 years ago, people would not have thought that they would live in an alien, the world of superpowers, at that time, people's biggest understanding of the so-called end of the world is the outbreak of the third world war, to a nuclear war, absolutely would not have thought that the end of the world will be an alien invasion, the resurrection of the dead This kind of thing beyond cognition, more importantly, it is not once, according to the frequency of the month."

An official complaint from Nora Allen also embarrassed Barry, who was standing behind Curwen as an air. Because my mother was right, when I first obtained the speed power, I always felt that I had seen everything in my life, and there was nothing to be afraid of. But later, the Apocalypse Star invasion war, the night of the darkest, and the time and space he had played, plus what he was doing now, Barry could only say, I'm sorry, I really haven't seen a lot.

Just when Barry was still embarrassed by his mother's sharp complaints, Nora Allen also continued: "Canterlot has changed a lot, before, we didn't have so much trouble when we came out for dinner, sit down, a cup of coffee, a sandwich, three or five friends, and we could talk for an afternoon." Now, with a cup of coffee and a cell phone, we can sit all afternoon and say nothing.

The times are always so unexpected, even I, who lives in them, feel caught off guard when I feel it at the first time. The new tricks that come up every day are enough for me to learn for a long time. In fact, Canterlot has been changing in this direction, because there is the protection of the world's fastest man, the Flash, who can change many tragedies and reverse many endings, so Canterlot has what it is now, you are just unresponsive. ”

The words made Ke Wen stunned, and Barry, who was behind Ke Wen, was also waiting for Ke Wen's final answer.

"You mean, I'm actually just unresponsive, these changes have always been around me, I didn't feel it at first, it's just that I haven't gotten used to this rapid change. Then, when I understood the changes, I was what I am now?! ”

"Well, you can understand it that way, I think, it's probably because you've been feeling this way these days. Suddenly feeling unfamiliar with the environment in which you have lived for a long time, and then falling into self-doubt, and even creating a goal for yourself to provide motivation for yourself, am I right, including the conversation you had with me today. ”

Drinking coffee, Nora Allen also guessed the purpose of Kewen's meeting with him this time, and made a few words that made Kewen not know how to answer for a while. And behind Ke Wen, Barry, who melted into the air, also put down the hand that was about to touch the back of Ke Wen's head, he didn't expect his mother to be so foolish, worthy of being a scholar of humanities.

"Yes, just the day before yesterday, I woke up to find my own desk covered with post-it notes in my own handwriting, and finally, found this in a document that said Find you, all of which plunged me into self-doubt. But according to you, this may be a subconscious act of self-preservation, not even sleepwalking? ”

"Well, how to put it, it's really not even sleepwalking, because sleepwalking is a bit far behind him. I suggest you take a month off and then see a psychiatrist, you're schizophrenic. ”

"Huh? Is there any cure for this? ”

"Then it depends on how much you can't let go, but schizophrenia, you don't want to be too repulsive, try to accept another personality, and talk to him well. He is also you, and all you can do is believe in him. ”

"Well, then I understand, thank you, Lady Nora Allen."

"You're welcome, you're my son's friend."

Curvin, who drank coffee and got an accurate answer, didn't plan to stay here, and he confessed to Nora Allen in advance and left the café. Only Nora Allen was left looking at the Flash-themed coffee in his hand, and then looking at the window, Curwen who drove away in the mediocre chariot of the Setron, and Barry, who had been listening to Nora Allen's side, finally relieved his heart.

There is no problem with the new identity made up for Ke Wen, and his mother has successfully fooled Ke Wen in the past, and there will be no more worries. Barry, who didn't need to worry about anything, also disappeared behind Nora Allen, returned to the Canterlot police station, and waited for his mother's call as he told his mother before, but what Barry didn't expect was that when he disappeared from behind Nora Allen, Nora Allen, who was originally looking at the scenery outside the window with a smile, gradually disappeared with a smile on his face.

After taking out her mobile phone from her pocket and dialing Barry's phone number, Nora Allen also said, "Barry, Mom's side is over, come and pick me up..."

The meeting between Curvin and Nora Allen also became the last episode of Barry on this last day, preparing to complete the brave new world in his heart, and the doubts in Curvin's heart were dispelled, and Nora Allen did not do anything out of the ordinary. At dinner, Barry sat there, looking at his wife Iris, who was two months pregnant, his mother whispering to his father, and Joe West, his smiling adoptive father.

There are more smiles on my face, because from tonight onwards, this will all be maintained!

After dinner, Barry drove his parents back to their home.

"Hey, Barry, you don't really need to send the two of us back, your dad and I are not old yet." Helping his father, Henry Allen, to enter the door, the university professor who was still in the prime of life also joked about his son.

"I know, but I'm a son, and I'm really happy to see you so happy, Dad."

Looking at his father, Barry also gave his father a big hug. Barry, who has a normal memory, knows how much his father has suffered, his beloved wife died, and he has become the murderer of his wife, suffering from external accusations and inner torture, and failing to protect the person he loves the most, and now, his father is reunited with the person he loves under the modification of his sage memory, and there is a son who grew up with him, and that is enough.

"OK, Barry, you scared me." Henry was also a little stunned when he was suddenly hugged by his son, but as a father, he could also feel the weight of his son's hug, and he also said there: "But for us, you can have a life of your own, which is our greatest happiness, you already have a life that belongs to you, Nora and I, just look at you, it's enough, son." ”

"I know, then I'll go first, Dad, Mom."

Separated from his father, with a smile on his face, Barry also waved goodbye to his parents. And Henry, who was standing by the window and watching his son leave, also sighed at this time. Thinking back to the hug his son gave him just now, he didn't have to resist, it seems that he is really old, and the son who followed him back and asked questions has also become a man who stands up to the sky.

"Well, Barry has really grown up, Nora." sighed, and Henry was about to go to wash, but at this moment, Nora Allen, who was sitting there, spoke up.

"Well, Henry, come out for a walk with me."

"Huh? Didn't we just come from Barry, by the way, I forgot to ask, why did you change into this dress that Barry bought for you today? ”

Henry also asked rhetorically about his wife's doubts, but he was about to go to wash, so he also squatted down, put on the shoes he had taken off again, and then opened the door and walked to his wife's side.

And Nora Allen also consciously took her husband's arm, and the couple began their own night walk.

"Henry, thank you."

"Speaking of which, after all these years, have I ever refused any of your requests?"

"Well, I know..."

On the other hand, after meeting Nora Allen, Curvin did not return home, but wandered the streets of Canterlot on the Setteron. Looking at the smiling citizens of the center city on the street, Kewen was still unable to adapt to what Nora Allen had said before, every word, every sentence, and then corresponding to the scene in front of him.

Try to accept the other personality in your heart, talk to him, the only thing you can do is to believe in him. 】

This was the last thing Nora Allen said to herself, and Kewen, who was still irritable, also looked at himself in the mirror and muttered: "The only thing I can do is to believe in the other self in my heart, so tell me, is all this true?" ”

Ke Wen looked at himself in the mirror and asked rhetorically, and after a long time, a smile appeared on his face.

"In that case, why not verify it?"

Ke Wen, who seemed to have got some answer, also said there, and at this moment, Ke Wen's mobile phone rang, an unfamiliar call. In addition to doubts, Ke Wen still scratched the answer button.

"Hey, this is Kewen."

"I'm Nora Allen, Curwen, help me, help me get my son back, fix it all!"

When Corvin heard Nora Allen's words on the phone, he didn't hesitate at all, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the Zetron disappeared into the street.
