Midtown, street restaurant.

Almost every passerby pauses when passing by the restaurant window, and even the most urgent thing can't help but glance this way.

Because even if you're in Midtown, it's not every day that you see the famous Flash having coffee and eating with his superhero teammates.

And compared to the well-known city image representative of the Flash in Midtown, the opposite one is obviously more eye-catching. He is not as famous as The Flash, but his appearance is unforgettable.

The box-shaped helmet gave the man's head a boxy look, a yellow uniform, and a blazing flame on the door of his head.

Justice League newcomer Firestorm.

"You know what I mean, right? I mean, we always feel left out. Firestorm clutched his head in annoyance, "Look, so is this incident. Superman has had such a big deal, and no one has informed us for so long

Sometimes we can't help but wonder if we have been recognized by the alliance at all. ”

At this time, from the perspective of the fire storm, the head of an old man who could not be seen by others was floating next to the fire storm.

"Correction, Ronald. Only 'you' feel excluded, not 'we'. I didn't say that. ”

It was the second person in Firestorm's head, physics professor Stein. Firestorm was formed by the fusion of two people, young football quarterback Ronald and college professor Stein.

Of course, no one but him could hear Stein speak. So in the eyes of others, he is always talking to himself.

"Take it easy." The Flash said as he ate a burger, "The days of a recruit are like this, maybe everyone has to have a run-in period. When the alliance was first established, I always felt that I couldn't get involved. ”

"Really? But you're a veteran, and Batman seems to trust you." Firestorm wonders.

"To be correct, Batman doesn't 'trust' anyone. Don't be deceived by appearances, we just work together a lot. The Flash quickly drank his drink, "You're just too stressed, I'll teach you a few sets of very useful zazen when I go back."

Don't look at me like this, in fact, I can still calm down, as long as I need to. But now I really have to go, work business. You know, I'm late almost every day. I can't tell the leader that I'm busy saving the world every day, so I'll go first. ”

With a bang, the whirlwind swept by, and the Flash had disappeared into place.

There were several bills pressed under the cup he had drunk.

"Okay, it was a nice chat." Firestorm muttered to the empty seat in front of him.

At this point, a lady sitting at the table between them stood up. Her blue hair rolls like the waves of the ocean, and her meticulous professional attire perfectly accentuates her figure. A well-tailored white shirt, smooth as silk, accentuates her elegant neckline.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hear what you just said."

She walked over to Firestorm's table and sat down, smiling.

"But I'm a psychiatrist. And you know what. I think you're quite right. ”

"What?"

Firestorm frowned, and the flames on his head seemed to jump.

"Look, I don't know what you guys do in real life, but the organizations you work for, the people above. Aliens, immortal goddesses, withdrawn obsessive-compulsive patients. Do you really think you're much better than ready-to-throw cannon fodder in their eyes? ”

"Don't listen to her, Ronald." Dr. Stein floated next to him and said, "She sounds like those mean TV talk show hosts." You know the league is not like that. ”

But then, to the complete surprise of both of them in the Firestorm, the moment Dr. Stein's voice fell, the woman actually turned her head and looked at the place that should have been empty next to Firestorm, and the corners of her mouth hooked, revealing a meaningful smile.

Both of them shook like an electric shock, and Firestorm involuntarily stood up.

"Dr. Beau?" Firestorm looked at the floating old man beside him in shock, who was supposed to be only visible to him, "Is she watching?" ”

"Looking at the other one of you? Yes. The woman smiled lightly, "In this era, people who are not in the Justice League have special abilities. I'm just holding on to your grievances. ”

As she spoke, she paused, and the green glint in her eyes flashed imperceptibly.

Both Firestorm and Dr. Stein, who was floating next to him, were stunned at this moment, and their eyes briefly flashed a green glow similar to hers.

"I think you have a point."

Firestorm sat back in his chair and looked blankly at Dr. Stein beside him.

"What do you think, doctor?"

"Possibly. Right. ”

Dr. Stein was also demented, living like an Alzheimer's patient.

"Of course, I'm a professional psychiatrist." The woman continued, "I can see you for what you are, just as I can see the abnormality of your mental state.

You are desperate to prove yourself, you want to be legends, you are willing to obey the command. Do you think you won't be at your mercy? That Martian can read minds."

The eye of the firestorm flickered and darkened.

"I'm not right, it doesn't feel right." He shook his head, flames flashing in his head, "Maybe it's time for me to go back"

"Are you going back to your master?" The woman crossed her fingers with her hands and chin padd, with a playful expression on her face, "Do you know how different aliens really think about it?" How do you trust that a group of aliens won't betray humanity? ”

Firestorm froze.

After thinking for a while, he sat back down.

The woman chuckled: "This is a good boy." ”

"That was my mistake."

IN THE HISHE CAFÉ, IN FRONT OF KARA AND SHAZAM, THE OLD WIZARD SIGHED.

"It was a long time ago, when the Eternal Council was still around. We punished the girl, the girl who opened the box. It shouldn't be that way. ”

The old wizard shook his head.

"She's just a curious child."

It may be that as he gets older, many things in his long years are now looked at from a different angle.

"So the legend of that box is true?" Shazam was surprised, "Hell, I thought it was all made up." All the evils in the world come from a box? ”

"I'm not as sure of that now as I was then, but the evil sealed in the box is what I've seen with my own eyes." The wizard said solemnly, "That is the first time that the Council has faced the 'Seven Deadly Sins'.

The seven original sins correspond to the seven monsters, and we've fought against various versions for a long time to come. But there is no doubt that the first batch we faced was Pandora's box. ”

Kara and Shazam looked at each other.

Kara has an impression of the seven deadly sins she encountered before, after all, one day on the way out of school, she accidentally sneezed and froze one of them

Did those things first come from Pandora's box?

I don't know if Shen You knows these things.

Either way, at least it's a fact that Pandora unleashed seven deadly sins. Even if the council's punishment was a bit harsh, it was not entirely a miscarriage.

"Now that Pandora's box has reappeared, there can be no delay."

The old wizard stood up, his face solemn.

Carla was surprised: "You're going out in person?" ”

Since she came to the café, her impression of the old wizard is basically only a cook and a bastard, and she has never seen him go out of the mountain in person.

"Of course, that's my unfinished business. Besides, if the box is opened again, no one can say what will happen, maybe it will be the end of the world. ”

The old wizard said in a deep voice.

"At all costs, it is absolutely necessary to prevent the box from being reopened."
