Chapter 12: Signs of Rebirth and the General Trend of Change

Late at night, in the city park of Naxino, in desperation, to be completely assimilated into a part of the speed force, from the old 52 universe before the restart, the third generation of Flash, the first generation of Lightning Boy Wally West was pulled out of the speed force by Cowen. He survived, but at the same time, he was also confused, confused why it was Ke Wen who remembered himself and rescued himself from the speed force.

Also confused was Dick on the side, when Cowen called out Wally West's name, he was confused, because Wally West was in Canterlot at this time, and it was impossible for him to appear here, and the person who was rescued by Cowen in front of him was not like Wally West in his impression, he didn't have any memories of the old 52 universe era and his friend.

Dick, who stood there and watched all this happen, frowned. At this time, Wally, who was pulled out of the speed force by Kewen and finally regained his freedom and survived, also half-knelt on the ground, feeling the touch of the earth and air, and he returned to his own world. Touching his face, as well as the yellow Lightning Boy suit on his body, Wally, who was old 52, also thanked Kewen, this person who was entrusted to the future by the original Flash Jay Garrick, can really help himself.

"Thank you, I didn't know your... Yes! โ€

The old 52 Wally, who was about to thank Kewen, also covered his brain and let out a scream at this time. When he saw the sudden situation of the old 52 Wally, Dick on the side also stepped forward, ready to help at any time, but it was Curvin who stopped Dick and asked him to watch with him.

"He's adapting, he doesn't belong to this timeline, but he's living in this timeline now, everything on this timeline, he needs to go through it, this is the process that the speedy person needs to go through through time."

Yes, at this time, the old 52 Wally was directly stuffing everything that happened in this plausible new 52 universe into his brain with the help of the speed force. Before although jumping from the perspective of a bystander in this new cosmic timeline, understand. But at that time, the old 52 Wally didn't have that much time to understand everything about what was happening in this new universe, and he took the jump, that is, the way of fast forwarding, to descend on a certain point in time.

This is also the reason why he didn't know Ke Wen's identity for the first time, when Zhenglian was established, Ke Wen was just Ke Wen, he didn't look down along the time node of Zhenglian's establishment, and naturally he didn't know what happened behind Zhenglian, and his situation at the time did not allow him to do this. Until Ke Wen said his name and pulled him out of the speed force, he was reborn, and under the effect of the speed force, all the things that happened after the establishment of the Zhenglian were reflected in his mind.

Curvin's debut as a Kamen Rider, the predecessor of the Young Titans, the formation of the Outsider Squad, the invasion of the Crime Syndicate, the events of the Darkest Night, the Darkseid War, and, of course, the deeds of Wally West, who has the same name as himself, are also shown in the mind of the old 52 Wally. Everything that has happened in the old 52 universe Wally also knows it.

With his hands propped up on the ground, the sweaty old 52 Wally looked at the superhero named Kamen Rider who had rescued himself from the old 52 universe and did not exist in the old 52 universe and was only born in this new universe, his eyes were full of doubts.

"Who the hell are you?"

"As you can remember, my name is Curvin, a superhero named Kamen Rider."

"I know, but why have so many things changed, why do you know me, you are the one behind the scenes?!"

โ€œยทยทยท In a way, maybe, I don't know, it's too complicated to explain, including the existence of another you. โ€

The conversation between the two was like a dumb riddle, which made Dick on the side completely confused, although he was no longer surprised by what was happening in this world. After all, it's all out of the body and kicking with others, and there's nothing he can't accept, but this time, Dick still has to say, I really haven't seen this, although I have seen Kewen summon his future self to fight before, but this seems to be different from the situation in front of him, at least he doesn't understand why there are two Wally West at the same time.

"OK, I'm a little confused about what happened tonight, can any of you explain to me what happened."

It's human nature to ask questions if you don't understand, especially when this happens to your partner. was interrupted by Dick like this, Kewen and the old 52 Wally also looked at their friend together, and the old 52 Wally, who finally returned, came up and gave Dick a bear hug directly, which made Dick look confused, he could feel the enthusiasm of this guy who called himself Wally West, but he didn't know him!

"It's good to see you again, Dick, my friend."

"Ehehe, it's a pleasure to meet you, my brain is a little chaotic now, can you let me slow down, partner, are you really not going to give an explanation?"

Dick, who had nowhere to put his hands, could only look at Curwen and motioned for him to give an explanation. Sighing, Kewen didn't expect what he was worried about to come so soon, let alone that he personally started the beginning of the rebirth event, the handle on his belt twisted, and Kewen also lifted his transformation, as for why the old 52 Wally appeared here, he couldn't explain it to Dick for a while.

"This is a bit complicated, I'll take him to the Titan Mansion first, you go back and rest, and I'll tell you tomorrow, he and I also need to get together. Wally West, wouldn't you mind coming with me to the Titan Tower for a break? โ€

Wally, who had already sorted out the timeline of this new universe he was in, also glanced at Ke Wen and nodded slowly.

"Aha? Now you're in a secret, too? Okay, one night, I'll give you time, and then, give me a good explanation of what the hell is going on, what personal heroism do you dare to play with me again, hum, you know, I can't beat you, but those three, you figure it out for yourself. โ€

With a unique threat, Dick left the scene, but the old 52 Wally, who had already obtained the memory of the new universe, looked confused, although he had obtained the memory of all the major events in this universe, or some of the events that happened around Curvin, but there were some things that he would not know for a while, such as the three in Dick's words just now.

"Huh? What's the situation? โ€

"Let's go, we'll have something to talk about tonight."

With a wave of his hand, the portal appeared, revealing the gate of the Titan Building, and the confused old 52 Wally was also held by Kewen and walked towards the Titan Building.

On the same night, in Gotham, something different happened. Gotham, which has begun to show signs of rebirth, Batman's figure shuttles between buildings, and Gotham, where security has begun to gradually improve, no longer needs Batman to fight crime every night, or go to the gangsters' dens to talk to those leaders, the reason why he is still active at night is mainly for his old rival who has come back from the dead, no, to be precise, he has been waiting for his old enemy, Joker.

Traveling between buildings, when Batman once again landed in a private house and looked at the tragedy that had already taken place inside, Batman understood that he was one step too late. The clown, once again completed the murder, and similarly, left a ghost card at the scene, a ghost card that belonged to him.

"Master Bruce?"

"It's me, Alfred, to inform Gordon, come over and secure the scene, gather evidence, and also, block the news."

Batman, who arrived, put away the ghost card left by the Joker, and also commanded there, but on the other end of the intercom, there was only Alfred's silence.

โ€œยทยทยท I don't know if that's right, but you don't have to carry it all on your own, Lord Bruce. โ€

"I have to do this, Alfred, Clark has chosen to give up Superman's powers, and now he can't face the Joker at all. Besides, I've already lost Jason once, I don't want to lose Dick, or Damian, or anyone else, and I'm only left with you, so if the Joker wants to play with me, then I'll play with him to the end, and don't force me to make any other choice, Alfred. โ€

On the other end of the intercom, Alfred was silent, because he knew that Batman now had the life he had always wanted. It was because of the loss that he cherished this life even more, and if the Joker took someone away from him again, Alfred couldn't imagine what Batman would do at that time. Now, Alfred is also confused, is it true that the children raised by himself can't have the life that ordinary people have?

No one could answer him, and he could only follow Batman's instructions to inform Gordon, the chief of the Gotham Police Department, that Batman also left the scene of the crime, and the Joker did not leave the clues he wanted. This time the Joker was more cautious than ever, he was playing hide and seek with himself, and that was the kind of game he was not good at.

When Batman leaves the crime scene created by the Joker, he is unaware that his every move is being watched, by the organization called the Owl Court, which controls Gotham in the dark. The claws that attacked Dick in the city of Naxinno were hidden in the shadows, looking at all this, but behind these claws, there was a figure. Dressed in a purple suit, miserable white makeup, and scarlet lips, he is exactly the Joker Batman has been looking for.

At this time, the clown played with the knife in his hand, cutting the skin of the claws, and the claws that did not feel any pain would not give feedback, allowing the clown to cut off the flesh on his body. The second Joker, who was still active somewhere in Gotham under the advice of the Mobius Chair, just watched the person he cared about the most leave in front of him, baring his dark yellow teeth, and smiling.

"My little bat, you in this universe are much more interesting than the ones I knew before, and besides, there are more fun places, take your time."

A knife pierced the back of the claw in front of him, and the claw, which didn't feel any pain, also got up and disappeared into the darkness with the clown, and the wound that was cut by the clown with the blade just now was also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
