Chapter 146: The Speed Force of the Rampage
Speedy is often both a blessing and a curse for the Speedy, especially for the children who are born with the Speed Speeder, who are too young to control the most dangerous force in the DC Universe when they receive it.
For example, the previously mentioned fourth-generation Flash, Bart Allen, is the grandson of the second-generation Flash Barry in the 30th century. Although he inherited the bloodline of the Flash, he could not control this power, and due to the rapid metabolism, in just two years after birth, Bart had grown to about fourteen years old, and almost died of premature aging.
And Irese West Jr., Wally's daughter, is now on the brink of death because of the speed force.
"At the last moment, Brother Sword Soul took out his glittering sledgehammer, boomed, and blasted the stinky bad guy inertia straight out, and then snorted again, and the inertia was so frightened that he ran away - hum, it's a shame you didn't see it."
"Although I want to complain about why it's called Sword Soul but it's a hammer, what I want to know more now is why you suddenly grew so tall! It's not fair! We're twins, why are you the only ones who have grown taller!! ”
"Hmph, no way, who made me my sister, what's so strange about looking faster than my brother...... Don't worry about this yet, I haven't finished talking yet, and then Brother Sword Soul took us out of the zombie pile to be handsome, much more exciting than the movie Biochemical ○ machine-"
Little Iris danced and excitedly told his brother about the battle and adventure, but now the twins looked more than 10 years apart, and Jay looked like he was only about 11 years old, but little Iris was already a slim girl.
Of course, in fact, the mental age of both of them is less than two years old.
"Found it, it's the hotel waiter's clothes...... Get dressed, Ellie! ”
Due to the sudden growth of her body, the original clothes could not cover her almost as mature as her mother, and little Iris almost wanted to change her clothes in front of Red, and only went to the bathroom to change after Linda stopped her in time.
Although parents are generally happy about their children's growth, it is clear that from Linda's expression, little Iris's overnight development is a very bad problem.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sword Soul, maybe I scared you just now."
Linda sat in front of Red, and although she was already a mother of two, Linda seemed to be a little younger than her daughter, and not just because of maintenance.
During the Crisis on Infinite Earths event, Wally's family was involved in the Speed Force, and although they succeeded in coming out, it also caused many effects - Linda was forever young because of her contact with the Speed Force, and the twin siblings grew from less than a year old to a ten-year-old teenager.
Although later with the help of the Flash, they learned to control their strength to slow down their metabolism and avoid premature aging.
"Wally has told me before that Ellie's talent may be more powerful than we think, but it's also more unpredictable. For a long time, Wally would take the initiative to seize her speed to suppress her growth when he found that she was too closely connected to the speed force, but now ......"
But it was clear that this suppression effect had been ineffective due to the attack of the inertia just now, and little Iris was once again affected by the speed force of the rampage and grew rapidly, and this time there was no speedster who could help her.
Little Iris had already changed her clothes and came out, this girl who was in her twenties and only a few years old in reality continued to dance to tell her brother the heroic story of Red just now, and when she looked at Red from time to time, her clear and pure eyes were full of admiration.
Red crossed his fingers, a solemn frown under the hood of the metal can, but Linda still seemed keenly aware of his emotions and whispered with some disappointment.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sword Soul, but I also know that Ellie's situation can only be solved by the Speedsters...... Talking to you about this will only make it difficult for you. In any case, you have saved us from the hands of inertia, and this kindness is unforgettable for our family. ”
But what Linda didn't know was that it wasn't the problem that Red was struggling with...... In fact, he wasn't completely helpless about Iris Jr.'s problems.
The easiest way, as long as little Iris wears a red light ring, through the light ring can prolong life and slow down the aging properties, maybe it can save her life.
But there are two problems now, firstly, Red is the way he is now, and there is no way to create a new lamp ring; Secondly, if you take out the red light ring...... Red was the murderer of her father, and this matter probably can't be hidden.
"Batman, you heard the current situation, what can you do?"
Red had already told Batman about the situation through the Spirit Star's Lantern Ring just now, but to be honest, from the fact that Batman hadn't taken the initiative to respond yet, he knew that things were not going well.
"Speedforce has never been my area of study, and I don't have the time and energy to do it right now...... Anyway, you take them out of Canterlot to join us, and then I'll figure it out. ”
It stands to reason that Red only needs to follow Batman's request and take the family away as soon as possible to complete the mission, but after thinking for a moment, Red got up from the couch.
"Mrs. West, the children need to be emotionally stable and recuperate now, you can rest here for a while, and I'll help you find some food."
"Thank you, Mr. Sword Soul - and call me Linda."
And at this moment, little Iris also jumped up in front of Red, his eyes shining with anticipation.
"Brother Sword Soul is going out, take me with you, I might be faster than my father now."
Red tenderly touched the top of little Iris's head, though it seemed strange to do so to an adult woman.
"Protect your family, Ellie, I'll go back as soon as I go."
After walking out of the room, Red's gaze gradually became sharp, and he knew that if according to Batman's plan, in the process of leaving Canterlot, further battles would inevitably occur, and little Iris was likely to be triggered again to speed up his death.
However, when it comes to people who have studied the speed force, Red immediately thinks of someone.
Walking to the door of the elevator hall, the elevator has long been unusable due to the power outage, but the corridor is still lit up with emergency lights.
"Come out, you've been peeking, haven't you?"
As soon as Red's words fell, ripples resembling the surface of the water appeared in the mirror-like elevator doorway, and then the grizzled rogue gang members came out one by one.
"I know what you want to ask...... Yes, I can try to save her, I've been researching ways to slow down the effects of the Speed Force, but I have one condition, our scoundrels have a target for revenge-"
There was no need to say anything, Captain Cold said straight to the point.
"Don't negotiate terms with me, Snyter, I think we have the same goal, and I'm not just here to save that little girl."
Red interrupted Captain Cold directly, narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
"It's just that I don't like to leave the aftermath behind."
