Knights of DC

Chapter 550 The Dark Day of the Justice League

In Gotham, when Superman saw Batman appearing on the top floor of Wayne Enterprises, he also showed a surprised expression on his face. He took Dick and fell to the top floor at the fastest speed, before Batman could say anything , Superman stepped forward and gave him a big bear hug directly.

"I thought I lost you." Leaning on Batman's shoulder, Superman whispered.

"I won't, I promise, but can you let me go?"

"Oh, sorry, I just can't help myself, you know, we've lost Hal and Barry."

After being reminded by Batman, Superman also came to his senses, knowing that he was a little too excited.Batman, on the other hand, looked at Dick, who was acting as an audience, with a sullen face. At this time, Dick turned his back to him, looking at the night scene of Gotham outside, as if he didn't know anything, and he didn't see anything. manner.

After coughing dryly to cover up his gaffe just now, Superman asked a question: "How did you do it? I mean, how did you escape from that black hole? If you escaped, then Hal and Barry Woolen cloth?"

"Clark, calm down, I didn't escape. To be precise, I never left the earth. That is my clone. I have been remotely commanding and tracking other things on the earth."

"OK, you scared me, but you appear here now, does it mean that you have found something?"

"Yes, there are some clues about the deal between the Illuminati and Darkseid, as well as the group of Black Lantern Corps. The reason why I met you is because, as you said in the watchtower, we need to hide ourselves , to find out the truth in the dark, something is hidden, we have to find out, you and me, plus Diana."

"Just the three of us?" Seeing Batman hesitate to speak, Superman was also puzzled.

"There are still a few new members, but I have to wait for you to agree before I can take you to meet them. You have to be mentally prepared."

"Oh, I see, you're starting to cross the line with some guys again, right, but this time I'm joining, although I don't like you, but I also understand that sometimes when the stupid method comes to use, it will It's a good idea, but can you give me some time? Three days, I have to go back to get together with Louise and Jonathan Jr. I haven't seen them two in too long, and Hal and Barry, we Gotta deal with it."

"I know, three days, make good use of three days, because in three days Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent will disappear from the earth."

"It's really your style to have a false identity and do business. Let's go."

Superman also understood the meaning of Batman's words, and after making complaints, he left Gotham.And Batman also walked to Dick, who turned his back to him, because he understood that once he left, Gotham still needed Dick to play himself in order to maintain the balance of Gotham to the greatest extent. For Dick, becoming a bat Xia, is to torture him.

Looking at his son, Batman wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything when he wanted to say it, because he didn't know how to explain it to Dick, he was afraid that if he opened his mouth , all words will be spoken in another tone.

"I will be optimistic about Gotham. If you are worried about this, don't worry, I haven't rejected your clothes to the point of being allergic to them."

"So you agreed?"

"Gotham is my home. For three days, spend time with Damian and Helena. In addition, Catwoman and Damian's mother, I think you should also have a good chat with them. You You can't just have Gotham and Superman in your life."

He made fun of his old father, and didn't intend to listen to Batman's explanation. With a leap, Dick jumped off the top floor, and the hang glider located in the armpit of his suit unfolded, leading Dick to disappear into the vast night , only Batman was left standing there, looking at Dick who had disappeared before his eyes.The night wind blew his cloak wildly, but Batman also had a smile on his face. His son had grown up, and the Robin bird that escaped from the nest had finally grown into an eagle soaring in the night sky. Blowing newspapers passed by, and Batman's figure disappeared on the top floor of Wayne Enterprises.

The next day, it was located in a villa in Seaside City. This villa is the residence of Carol Ferris, the head of Carol Airlines in Seaside City, which is the real girlfriend of Green Lantern Hal Jordan. Now, it should be It's the fiancee.It has been more than three months since Hal gave him the engagement ring, and during these three months, Carol has been praying for Hal all the time.

She knows the importance of Hal's status as a Green Lantern, to protect the safety of this sector of the universe, but rarely like this time, when she has been away from the earth for so long, she is very scared, she is afraid that Hal will not come back this time up.Every day when she got up, she would pray to the purple ring that Hal gave her, hoping that Hal would appear outside her balcony when she was praying, but there was no such thing. To this day, Carol still says hello to the purple ring after getting up. While praying with the ring Hal gave him, there was a knock on the door.

"Hal, is that you?" After hearing the knock on the door, Carol was a little overjoyed, but also a little worried. Even so, her body had already led her to the door, holding the doorknob, and took a deep breath After taking a breath, with a smile, he slowly opened the door.

Behind the door are Batman and Wonder Woman. When she saw Batman's expressionless face, Carol's smile froze, especially when she didn't see the figure she had been thinking about all this time. Spin around in your own mind.

"Hey, Superman, you're finally back. Where's Hal? Where did he go? Going back to Oa Star to report on his duties?" Even though there were bad thoughts in her mind, Carol still had some expectations. At least this way, She will feel better.

"Hey, Carol, I really want to tell you this, but it's not true. No one thought about this accident. Hal sacrificed himself to protect this sector of the universe. All I can do is take his ring Bring it back, he left a video message on the ring, maybe, this is what he left for you."

Batman handed the only ring left by Hal to Carol, and at this time, Carol had already burst into tears, picked up Hal's lamp ring with trembling hands, put it on her chest, and knelt on the ground weakly , Weeping uncontrollably, and Batman can only stand there, being a silent listener.Wonder Woman leaned down and accompanied Carol. This strong woman who could single-handedly beat Fang Qi in the mall was just a helpless woman who had lost her love, and brought her three more The backlog of emotions was released, and on her left ring finger, the purple wedding ring given to her by Hal also flashed an undetectable light as Carol cried.

The same thing happened in Central City, at the home of the Flash Barry Allen and his fiancée Iris West. Wally, who knew about it in advance, gave his uncle, the Flash Barry Allen, the Lightning Ring to him. To his aunt's hands, and at the same time comforting her there, Superman just stood there, looking out at the road with cars passing by in silence.And in Iron Mountain Prison in Central City, Barry's adoptive father, Joe West, also told Barry's unjustly imprisoned father, Henry Allen, the sad news.

On this day, it is difficult for everyone in the Justice League. They lost their best friends, but they cannot disclose the news of their sacrifice to the world, because it will cause riots.They can only accept the ending of death as an unsung hero with their other identities. There will be no flowers to mourn, no one to cry, except those close to them.

In the home of Barry the Flash, as the only speedster with super speed force in Central City, Wally has come out of grief early on. As a man, he needs to be stronger than ever, because Central City needs him to protect.

"Warley, are you okay?" A somewhat old voice came. Looking back, it was a hale and hearty old man approaching half a century. Wally recognized him. This was Uncle Barry's uncle from afar. Jay Garrick moved to Central City after retiring. He is a very knowledgeable and kind old man. Because he often went to find Barry, he was familiar with this kind old man. When he saw the old man caring about himself At the same time, Wally also wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said back.

"I'm fine, Grandpa Jay, I'm just not recovering."

"Child, don't hide your emotions. You don't need to do this at this age. It doesn't mean you are mature. Cry if you want." Putting his hand on Wally's shoulder, the old man comforted him.

"I have cried, but until now I can't accept that Uncle Barry just left. He is so kind."

"Children, there are always many unpredictable things in life, but don't forget what Barry has taught you. Maybe he left, but he is more likely to be part of a great career. Don't forget his dedication to your teaching."

"Grandpa Jay, what do you want to say?" Listening to what Jay said to him, Wally also felt that there was something in the words, so he couldn't help asking.

"Didn't you hear what I want to say? Work hard. Central City needs The Flash, but that doesn't mean you have to be the Flash everyone wants."

With a wink at Wally and a meaningful smile, Jay left.On the other side, Ke Wen was also watching the situation of Hal and the Barry family on the screen at this time in the Titan Building. The Justice League and his party went to offer their condolences, leaving Ke Wen alone here. Looking at the expressions on the faces of everyone in the picture, Ke Wen also clenched his fists, "Although I know that maybe you will be resurrected, but I really don't want to see such a thing again, it's time to leave."
