Barry Allen, a forensic examiner at the Midtown Police Department, is a big sunny boy.

It's just that it's hard for outsiders to imagine that when he was eleven years old, he experienced an extremely cruel childhood nightmare.

His father, who was a doctor, was arrested and imprisoned after being accused of killing his wife.

This is a reality far more painful than the loss of a parent.

Let a child accept his father and become a murderer.

Gentle mother, who died at the knife of her husband.

It's so dark.

If you set it in the dark days of Gotham, it's no surprise that Barry Allen would become a supercriminal, or a gang leader.

Then join Batman's huge fan base, which perennially moves in and out of the Black Gate Prison and Arkham Asylum.

Fortunately.

This is Midtown.

One of the few cities in the DC Universe that can be called a normal style of painting.

Even the villain scoundrels are principled and never bully the weak.

Compared to Gotham's psychopaths, madmen, and anti-humans, they are simply angels.

Barry Allen, who lost his parents and had no one to take care of him, was not sent to a welfare home after this.

Officer Joe West of the Midtown Police Department adopted him and offered him to graduate from college.

The other party is a friend of Barry's father, and he is also an upright policeman and a warm-hearted good man.

After graduating from college, Barry chose to join the Midtown Police Department in an attempt to clear his father's name from life in prison.

Yes, he never saw his father as a dehumanizing criminal.

Because young Barry once witnessed the murderer!

At that time, there were two red and yellow lightning bolts in the room, entangled with each other!

It's just that no one believes it, and they all think that it was Barry who was strongly traumatized and thus hallucinated.

What an eleven-year-old child said didn't carry the slightest weight at all.

Therefore, with a firm intention to reunite with his father, Barry successfully entered the Midtown Police Department.

As he worked, he searched for new clues.

Until that lightning fell from the sky and shattered his peaceful life.

The explosion of the particle accelerator, combined with the mixing of liquids in the laboratory and the cleaved lightning, completely changed Barry's fate.

He gained the Speed Force and became the Speed Rider.

Since then, Midtown has welcomed its first superhero, The Flash.

Barry uses his speedy power to punish evil and promote good, fight crime, and track down the tragedy that happened when he was a child, and finally learn the truth.

A futuristic man nicknamed "Reverse Lightning" and named "Albert Swan".

It was he who traveled back in time to the time in which the Flash lived and murdered Barry's mother.

The real target of Reverse Lightning is actually young Barry.

But he was stopped by the future Flash, and in order to vent his anger, he killed Barry's mother and caused the birth of that tragedy.

It's just that Reverse Lightning ignores the continuity of time and space, and he relies on copying the Flash's accident to obtain the speed power.

Once Barry Allen doesn't become the Flash, then he's also affected and loses everything.

In other words, Reverse Lightning locked himself in this plane with his own hands, and could never return to the future.

Because he didn't have the speed of speed, he couldn't continue to travel through the boundless corridor of time and space.

In order to save himself and go home, Reverse Lightning can only silently wait for Barry Allen to grow up, and then create the accident with his own hands to make the Flash reappear, thus forming a closed loop of time and space.

This is the grudge between Reverse Lightning and Flash, the old enemy.

"It's like I've been sleeping for a long time, I've had a dream for a long time."

Barry Allen, who came to his senses, took the coffee from his adoptive father, Joe.

He felt like he had a hangover, and his mind was tangled up in a mess.

I only feel that there are a large number of pictures flashing by, like a broken memory marquee.

"You're probably under too much pressure, Barry."

Joe pressed the young man's shoulder and comforted: "But there is no way, we have spent a full eighteen hours on this case, but there is still no exact clue, the citizens want to know the truth, the media is also fanning the flames, and everyone is under a lot of pressure." ”

"So you work harder, Barry, to extract more crucial clues from the physical evidence found at the crime scene."

Joe is a seasoned veteran cop who recently solves a murder case with his colleagues.

Through preliminary judgment, the murderer is likely to be a super criminal.

"Well, thank you for the coffee, and the cheering pre-war declaration, Joe."

Barry smiled and nodded, and after drinking the steaming cup of coffee, he habitually got to work with his speed.

"Ah, this ...... Where's my speed power? ”

Then, Barry Allen, who came to his senses, felt that something was wrong.

Divine speed force, gone!

That wonderful force, which is not bound by the laws of physics, not only accelerates Barry when he is running hard, but also helps him in life.

As long as you use the speed force, the flow of time will seem to slow down.

Barry can do several times as much with incredible efficiency.

For example, read all the dossiers in ten seconds, then run around Midtown twice, track down the criminals through clues, and then send them to the door of the police station.

Exam endorsements, takeaways, experiments...... Even if he couldn't get up in the morning and wanted to sleep in, Barry would quickly finish washing up with his speed and rush to the Midtown Police Station.

It can be said that the speed force is simply the best tool for the Flash.

But!

Right now!

It's gone!

Barry's mind was still running at its usual pace, "slowly".

What used to be a millisecond to do it all is now a matter of minutes and hours.

Barry felt very uncomfortable, like he had become the sloth called "Lightning" in "Zootopia".

What is done, everything is so slow.

"What's wrong, Barry?"

Joe asked with a frown.

He noticed Barry's abnormality, and the other party seemed to be very uncomfortable.

"I ...... I feel like throwing up. ”

Barry struggled to adjust and return to a normal pace of life.

"By the way, Joe, if this is a super-criminal murder, then what should we do? Looking for help from The Flash? ”

While pretending to be working, he diverted the topic and diverted his adoptive father's attention.

But then, Joe's answer made Barry completely stunned.

"Who is The Flash? What are you talking about? Did you drink too much last night? ”

Joe's eyes were strange and he didn't understand what Barry meant.

"To confirm the identity of the criminal, of course, I asked for the help of the 'Cold Citizen', who is the greatest hero of the city."

Cold Citizens?

Barry's eyes widened.

What Joe said, it can't be the cold captain of the Rogue Gang, right?

When did that guy become a superhero?

Barry felt that something was wrong, he was filled with too much confusion, but no one could provide answers.

"Forget it, Barry, you better go back and rest for the day first, you look too tired."

Joe said, shaking his head.

This usually smart and clever young man is full of nonsense today, like a drunk drunkard.

"Okay, okay, Joe."

Barry nodded in agreement, he needed to figure it all out, figure out what was going on.

Putting on his coat, he began to run as usual, only to remember that the speed force was gone.

"My Ring ......"

The ring that housed the Flash's suit wasn't on Barry's hand either.

When his thoughts diverged, he stepped on the empty steps downstairs, and the whole person rolled and fell, and the back of his head hit the ground heavily.

After the impact, the brain seems to be stimulated, and a large number of unfamiliar memories instantly pour out.

There was no tragic experience at the age of eleven, the mother was not murdered, and the father was not sent to prison.

Neither did he...... Become the Flash!

Midtown's greatest hero, called Cold Citizen.

The scoundrels have become positive characters admired by everyone.

"Iris ......"

Barry thought bitterly.

Iris West, who was supposed to be his wife, did not walk into the marriage hall hand in hand with him, but became someone else's wife.

All of a sudden, Barry's heart was filled with bitterness.

He didn't know if he was doing it right or wrong.

Won the affection of the family and saved the mother.

But after losing love, my wife got along with the old king next door.

"No! I'm going to figure it out! ”

Barry struggled to his feet and patted the dust off his clothes.

A bold conjecture vaguely appeared in his mind, but he did not dare to confirm it.

If the world is truly completely changed, there is only one person who can help themselves!

Batman!

The brains of the Justice League!

No matter how unbelievable and strange things are, Batman can always quickly accept them and then give a solution!

Walked up to Barry on the side of the road and immediately reached out to hail a taxi.

"Go to Gotham!"

He said to the driver.
