Chapter 427: The Forgotten Man, an Old Photo

Although someone has spent a considerable amount of time in Kansas, it has only been less than half a day since the Flash returned to the main universe.

He finished working with the Midtown Police Department, searching for information about the various members of the Justice League and finding nothing wrong.

Superman appears in Metropolis and is a beacon of hope.

Batman is an urban weirdo that spreads through the streets of Gotham.

Wonder Woman walked out of Paradise Island and became a diplomatic ambassador, having just ended her conversation at the White House the day before yesterday.

…… Everything seems normal, and everyone has a bright future.

Barry is finally convinced that he is back, rewriting Flashpoint's mistakes and saving the mistakes he made.

"Just, what about Luke?"

The Flash struggled to remember, he remembered that Krypton's big cousin was with him, but then he disappeared.

Did anything happen during the process?

"Hey, my head is hurting again."

He took a breath of cold air, and his head ached slightly.

This is the after-effect of memory fusion.

What we see and hear in two planes collide with each other.

The old ones will be overwritten by the new ones, just like the saved games.

This situation has also been encountered by Barry in the Flashpoint World.

The longer he stays there, the faster he forgets everything about the main universe.

"I'll do what Dr. Wayne gave me."

Barry's confusion lasted only a brief moment, and he remembered that he still had a "delivery" that had not been delivered.

The red afterimage flashed and disappeared into the apartment.

Moments later, he appeared in the Bat Cave.

While the memory is not completely gone, the Flash needs to explain the ins and outs of the matter to Batman.

Compared to Dr. Wayne's dilapidated base, Bruce's nest is much more imposing.

The array of monitors spliced with hundreds of high-definition screens allows Batman to see every street and corner of Gotham.

Huge and conspicuous mechanical dinosaurs, various high-tech props, the Batchariot like a tank, and the uniforms of Batman and Robin......

Seeing these familiar things, Barry felt a sense of security in his heart.

It's not a dream, it's real.

"Gifts?"

Batman said in the same hoarse voice as his father, with terminal laryngeal cancer, "I don't have a holiday season, and Christmas was a long time ago." ”

Bruce didn't know why Barry suddenly came to visit, and specially prepared a gift, which was some kind of activity within the Justice League?

Or is it a boring prank?

The Flash and the Green Lantern, they often make some ...... in order to liven up the team atmosphere Out-of-tune gameplay.

Like, about choosing Catwoman for himself, or a bet on Talia - Batman already knew? Silently write down those who participated in the small notebook.

Other than that? He was relieved that Superman hadn't been one of them.

Clark is still more steady, if the other party can lift the plane and save the cat trapped in the tree? And time to fall in love with Louise Lane? It is better to fight criminals and deal with international disputes.

Most of the work on the watchtower? It's all Batman alone.

He is responsible for giving orders, and Superman and the rest of the team are responsible for executing.

Clear and complete division of labor.

"Trust me? This gift is important to you. ”

The Flash doesn't know anything about it? He was already in Batman's little book, and continued: "But before that, I want to tell you a story, a real ...... Tale. ”

Forty minutes later? Barry casually picked up the black tea sent by the butler Alfred? Take two large gulps to relieve the dryness of your throat.

He says it all, and then doesn't get what he wants, seeing Batman have an extra emotional outcome.

The other party is still that indifferent, calm and paralyzed face, can't you see any surprise? And...... Inner activity.

It's too serious.

Barry thought silently.

"The whole world changed because you tried to stop the murder of your mother......"

Bruce crossed his hands on the table and propped up his chin? I seem to be thinking about something.

"That's right. And before I could correct my mistakes, the world was on the verge of destruction. ”

The Flash added.

"So? Now that everything is back on track? ”

Batman's brow furrowed, he didn't really like the feeling of losing control.

Is a crisis actually happening? But I didn't find the slightest clue.

That's not a good sign!

"Your vigilance and sense of crisis have dropped? Bruce Wayne! ”

Batman thought.

Is he others? At the same time, he is not slack on himself.

As the feeling of insecurity deepens inside, Batman decides it's time to update his plans.

"It should be."

Barry didn't realize that his few words had a huge impact on Batman.

If the Flash knew that the Justice League's brain had begun to update its backup plan for dealing with the crisis, he would definitely be frightened.

After all, there is a bloody lesson from the previous place, the Legion of Destruction attacked the Justice League, and then almost wiped out the latter.

And the means used by the villain are the "defense plan" formulated by Batman.

That time, the Justice League was badly wounded.

"Don't blame yourself too much, Barry."

Batman's brain always spins faster than normal, and after a brief reflection, he rarely begins to comfort the Flash.

"If I had your power, I would definitely try the same thing."

The two gunshots in Crime Alley are still dark nightmares hidden in the depths of Bruce's heart.

If he can change the tragedy without causing other negative effects, he can do everything for it.

It's a pity that it can't be replaced.

"Thank you. Although I made a successful return, there was a man who was traveling with me, and he was gone. ”

Barry finally remembered the disappeared Kryptonian cousin and said to the bat, "His name is Luke, and he is Superman's cousin - how many survivors does Krypton have?" ”

"I thought Clark only had Kara, a Kryptonian relative."

Batman's eyes suddenly became sharp!

He subconsciously pursed his lips, showing an extremely subtle emotional response.

Another Kryptonite?

That's what Batman is all about.

He didn't care how many relatives and friends Clark had.

If those Kryptonians came to Earth and became something as powerful as Superman, it would have serious consequences that were difficult to predict.

Not every Kryptonite, like Clark or Kara, chooses to integrate into the human world and accept the assimilation of civilization.

For example, the previous General Zod.

"Maybe I should go to Lex Luthor and find a way to get the recipe for the synthetic kryptonite he has."

Although the friendship between Batman and Superman is unshakable.

However, this is not contrary to his increasing kryptonite storage and targeting the other party.

Friendship is friendship, and responsibility is responsibility.

Batman, who is as cold and rational as a machine, has always been very clear.

Superman's Big Cousin......

He wrote this down in a small notebook as well.

"Are you sure that...... Kryptonite, didn't he get off early, or was he thrown somewhere else? ”

Batman asked in a deep voice.

"Not sure. That's why I'm asking you for help, Batman is looking for someone who, no matter where he's hiding, can always be found. ”

The Flash rarely said a beautiful word.

"Then you can draw a portrait later, and then I will use the watchtower system to conduct a global search to see if I can find the target."

Batman's indifferent, meaningless praise does not make him feel the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

"Alright, the story about Flashpoint is over, and it's time for your present."

Barry silently placed the letter on the table, and then a gust of air gently brushed Batman's mask, and the red figure standing in front of him had already left.

For such an important moment, no one else should be present.

Batman's brow furrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something.

He waited a few seconds before slowly reaching out and picking up the "gift".

Open the envelope and open the folded paper –

"Dear son,

There is only one thing I know about life.

I know that some things happen by accident and some are caused by us.

Barry Allen has always been haunted by the past.

But ever since he became The Flash, he's put those unpleasant memories behind him.

He found true love, family, and friends.

Barry thinks he's got rid of the shadows of his past, but there are people who won't let him escape the harsh reality.

When Barry asked me for help, I turned him away.

I'm not the main character of this story.

I am just a person who has been corrupted by unbearable pain.

I'm just a guy with blood on my hands but called a good person.

I'm a person who has no attachment to life......"

When Batman saw the line at the end - "Always love your father, Thomas Wayne", his iceberg expression that had not changed for thousands of years finally loosened.

Some say it's hard to imagine what it's like for Batman to laugh.

But it's even more unimaginable than that that Batman would cry.

The tall, pitch-black figure took off his hood and stared at the letter that spanned time and space for a long, long time.

……

……

United Kingdom.

London.

A museum.

Diana is using a professional brush to clean the Elgin marble sculptures from the Parthenon in ancient Greece.

She has many important identities, she is not only the Wonder Woman of the Justice League, but also the diplomatic ambassador sent by Paradise Island, and she is also a well-known collector and connoisseur of historical relics in the industry.

"Ms. Prince, did you have any activities last weekend?"

The young professors who worked together took the initiative to find the topic, and the beautiful women in this line were rare creatures.

It is even rarer to find a perfect woman as rich and beautiful as Diana, and as intelligent as she is.

Although I heard that the other party's suitors were endless, it was enough to form a long line.

But Mr. Professor, who thinks he is young and promising, still wants to join and compete with it.

According to what he inquired, this beautiful woman named Diana Prince came from Greece, was born into a wealthy family, was fluent in many Chinese, and was especially good at connoisseurship of antiquities.

Young professors have already figured out that they should start with their hobbies and hobbies, and use their profound knowledge and humorous conversation to make a good impression.

It's a long game.

He was very patient.

"Nothing particularly interesting."

Diana was attentive to her work and replied casually.

Last week's event?

She seems to have no other arrangements except to go to the watchtower to report, and then attend important meetings held by the White House, the United Nations and other national institutions as an Amazon princess.

Even though it's been a while since she came to the human world, Wonder Woman still feels like she's not fully integrated.

A lot of places are not very adaptable, especially in terms of life.

I remember that as soon as I left Paradise Island, Diana didn't understand why when she twisted the thing called "faucet", the pipe would automatically spray water?

Why does the steel shell with four wheels travel steadily and quickly?

And what kind of magic does ice cream use to make it so delicious?

…… There are so many things to learn and no one to communicate.

It was a rough time.

After the flash point is over, the new multiverse of the new 52.

Wonder Woman's origins have changed, she is confirmed to be the illegitimate daughter of Zeus, and did not participate in World War I, but was informed by a shipwrecked seafarer that she had discovered that Ares, the god of war, was wreaking havoc on the world.

So, as the princess of the Amazons, the diplomatic ambassador of Paradise Island, she entered the human world.

then joined the Justice League, and Diana also had a different view of the members of it.

Superman has a gentle personality, but is not a qualified fighter.

Batman is taciturn but always planned, and at the same time stubborn, like the tacticians of ancient Greece.

The Flash and Green Lantern are sometimes too out-of-the-box and full of immature childishness.

And Aquaman......

Diana thought hard for a moment, and only had a thin impression of "talking to fish".

Poor steel bones, Martian Manhunter, have no sense of existence.

"There's an exhibition of artifacts next week, and I've heard that things like Agamemnon's golden mask and Artemision's statue of Zeus will be on display."

The young professor laid the groundwork and continued.

"If we have time, we can go together."

Diana shook her head slightly, wordless in refusal.

Greek mythology is all the stuff of her relatives, and there is nothing new about it.

After taking a moment to finish her work, Diana politely said goodbye and left the museum despite the young professor's heartbroken eyes.

In her free time when she is not Wonder Woman, she occasionally goes shopping and then watches a movie.

Of course, sweets are a must-have.

There aren't many free days like this, because the Justice League always has all sorts of things to call it to.

"I don't know why, but I always feel restless."

Diana returned to her apartment, where she had been having nightmares lately, but she couldn't remember anything about them.

It's like memories of the past come to the door, banging on the door of memory, constantly waking her up in the middle of the night.

"Something unknown has changed."

Diana's gaze looked through the window, in the direction of Olympus.

Did the gods do something, or did Ares return?

Her gaze moved to the head of the bed, where there was a golden helmet full of divine power.

Ares has been defeated, and now Diana is the god of war.

Wonder Woman, who had difficulty clearing her thoughts, shook off her seaweed-like black hair, and no longer struggled with questions that she couldn't figure out.

She took a trip to Olympus and knew everything.

Diana closed the curtains, took off her coat, and walked into the bathroom where the water was drained.

The warm water slid down his forehead, and his snow-white skin was wrapped in moisture, outlining a hazy and wonderful figure.

Drying her hair and putting on her bathrobe, Diana sat down in front of the computer.

Sometimes she had to admit that technology in the human world was much better than magic.

As she browsed the web and listened to old songs, she seemed to have adapted to a part of modern life.

"Who the hell are you?"

After a moment, Diana's gaze habitually fixed on an old photograph on the table.

The picture is slightly yellowed and slightly blurry, obviously washed by time.

The content is a man and a woman snuggling intimately, like a couple, with the sunset setting on the horizon in the background.

It's a beautiful scene.

But Diana looked at herself with a happy smile in the photo, and felt a little strange.

She couldn't remember it.

"Is it some forgotten magic that caused me to lose this memory?"

Diana frowned, this photo was picked up on the beach before she left Paradise Island.

She didn't tell anyone, and she didn't ask anyone.

For some reason, Wonder Woman only wants to keep it alone and is reluctant to share it with others.

"I'll find you."

Diana gently stroked the old photo, and her tone revealed subtle emotion.
