Chapter 845 The Snooper from the Multiverse

"Wally, Wally, wake up, it's time for you to send Jay and little Iris to school."

The familiar and gentle voice awakened the sleeping old 52 Wally, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his most familiar face, his wife, Linda West (Linda Parker).And where he was, the familiar ceiling also made Wally stunned for a moment, then got up suddenly, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"What's wrong with you? Wally?" Linda, who was wearing pajamas on the bed, looked at her husband, and this somewhat uncharacteristic behavior worried her.

"I am back?"

Regarding his wife's question, Wally did not answer immediately, but looked at the familiar Central City outside the window, smelling the scent of flowers and the smell of soil in the air, and subconsciously pinched himself, no Dream!
"Honey? Don't scare me."

Her husband's strange behavior made Linda get off the bed and walked slowly towards Wally, while also comforting her with words.Unexpectedly, Wally, who was watching the scenery by the window, turned around and took himself into his arms. Linda could feel the strength of her husband hugging her, as well as that heart, as if embracing the once lost and regained. Things, for fear of leaving from my hands again.

"I thought I lost you."

"I've been here all the time. What nonsense are you talking about in the morning? Are you okay? Forget it. I'll send Jay and Iris to school. You can take a good rest at home."

Linda was also worried about her husband's strangeness, and she also said that after being hugged for a while and still not being let go.As soon as he finished speaking, Wally didn't continue to hug Linda, but grabbed her shoulders.

"I'll just go, you have a good rest, don't go to work today, wait for me to come back."

"What? Are you going to give me a little surprise?"

"No, just to let you know how much I love you and this family."

After kissing his wife on the cheek, Wally got dressed and left the bedroom.In the living room, he was cooking breakfast with ease, listening to music, and putting the prepared breakfast on the table. The sound of footsteps on the stairs also made Wally smile.Two small figures also came down from the stairs, carrying a phantom. They were his children. They didn't need to be struck by lightning like himself or his uncle Flash, but through the super speed force circulating in his body, he had extremely fast speed. Jay West and Iris West Jr.

The boy is taken from Jay Garrick, the original Flash, and the girl is his aunt, all in tribute.This is his own life, as the third generation of Flash guarding Central City, protecting the world, as Wally West, with a wife and children.The two children turned into phantoms chasing and playing in the living room, but Wally shook his head, his figure also turned into a phantom, and easily twisted his two children up, obediently eating breakfast under his fatherly majestic eyes.

Afterwards, he also drove his two children to school.

"Okay, kids, study hard at school, and, Jay, protect your sister."

"Got it! Obviously I'm the youngest."

After muttering something, the siblings entered the school gate and started their campus life.Wally, on the other hand, was driving a car, living by himself in the central city, and driving slowly on the city roads guarded by him. The speed of the car was not fast. He was used to solving all problems at extreme speed. Gift, he must learn to slow down his pace, and then enjoy this kind of life.

Soon, he parked the car in the parking lot of the university. As a university professor, he doesn't have many courses, but he is also popular with the students. After all, such a handsome, young professor is quite rare, but it is a pity that he got married early .At the end of the day's class, Wally also took out his mobile phone, and saw the warning from the Star Lab, which he was cooperating with, that some villains were making trouble in Central City.

The lightning ring in his hand lit up, and the Flash suit stored in it popped out, and Wally also turned into a yellow flash, dressed, disappeared, and started his other identity, the duty of the fastest man in the world today, the Flash, to save The city, helping everyone, in a flash.

Canterlot, all over the world, left his mark on this day, but Wally enjoyed it.Time passed slowly, and when his child was leaving school, his wife Linda sent him a text message. She went to pick up the child from school, and Wally was also preparing a surprise for his wife there.

He first went to Guangzhou, China, and took out his wife and children's favorite dim sum, The Flash. Within 3 minutes, it will reach the world, as long as you are still on the earth.Then I went to France, bought my wife's favorite flowers, walked lightly, and Wally also rushed towards his home, but when everything was so beautiful, a terrible thing happened. There was no warning, no time for Wally to react.

Just as Wally was rushing home, the sky turned crimson without any warning, and the red sky flickered with blue lightning in the clouds, and Wally also found that the people and things around him were disintegrating , They didn't even know what happened, and they didn't even have a chance to ask for help or escape, so they were just broken down, first these innocent people, and then Wally's most familiar friends.

The Justice League, the Teen Titans, the greatest detective and the most powerful hero in the world have no effect at all before such a sudden crisis of annihilation, and they are just broken down.Seeing all this, Wally could only speed up his pace, and rushed to the central city, his home in an instant, and then saw his wife guarding the two children, and the young siblings just snuggled up to their mother, in Wally. After Li's father appeared at home, he also yelled out immediately.

"Father!"

"Jay! Iris!"

These were the last words Wally said to his children, because next, his children were in front of Wally, and like everyone else he had seen, they were all broken into pieces, and Wally, who had The fastest man in the world, the speedster, couldn't even save his own children, so he could only watch them disappear.

"Wally, I feel something is wrong too, what the hell is going on..."

The grief over the loss of his sons and daughters is not over yet, and his wife's call also made Wally concentrate. Looking at the person he loves the most, without thinking too much, Wally used all his speed force and began to run around Linda. She builds a Speed ​​Force barrier in an attempt to save Linda.But everything he did was useless, because Linda was in front of the running Wally, starting from the arm, and just like the people Wally saw, it was broken into pieces.

It's just that under the isolation of Wally's speed force barrier, this speed has slowed down, but it is still going on.

"It seems that the end of the world is coming. It's really sudden. I'm still waiting for the surprise you gave me today, but I..."

Before finishing speaking, Linda also turned into pieces and disappeared in front of Wally, and Wally, who was trying to save everything, also stopped at this moment, looked at the home where his wife and children were separated, and knelt down.

"Do not!!!"

Everything that happened made Wally unacceptable. Immediately afterwards, the crimson sky with blue lightning began to destroy Wally's house. Finally, Wally was wrapped up in despair and helpless, and everything returned to nothingness.

"Wally! Wally! Wake up, are you okay!"

The familiar voice awakened the drowsy Wally again, the white light shone in his eyes, he looked at the surrounding lights, Barry standing in front of him, wearing the Flash suit, and his current state.Wally, who hadn't recovered from his grief, also fell into confusion, and finally said something tentatively.

"Barry?"

"Thank goodness, you're finally back. How are you? Are you okay?" The Flash breathed a sigh of relief as Wally in the old 52 universe regained his consciousness, and asked there.For Wally, what happened just now was so real that he hasn't recovered yet.

Looking at the surrounding equipment, it took a long time to break away from the dream of his wife and children, and confirm that he is still in this new universe.

"Is everything that happened just now a dream, or are you all a dream now?"

"No, Wally, here is the reality..."

While the Flash was talking to the old Wally there, Batman watched all of this through a screen, including everything that the old 52 Wally experienced in the so-called dream just now, all displayed on the screen.The red sky and blue lightning, and a person being decomposed and disappeared, the picture stopped when Wally was wrapped in a big hand made of blue lightning, Batman squinted his eyes, watching all this.

And when Batman looked at the old 52 Wally's dream, in his room, there were also Wonder Woman and Superman who lost his power, they also watched what happened on the screen, and then frowned.

"Is this what the restart of the universe looks like? This is really the first time that I can feel the momentum of the restart so intuitively through the screen. But, why only Wally survived, or is he locked in the speed force barrier like this? form."

Superman was the first to comment, and Wonder Woman also watched Wally lose his wife and children in the screen. The return of the memory of the old 52 universe allowed them to eliminate the barrier between them and the old 52 Wally.Although that memory belongs to the previous universe, as individuals born in the new universe, it can also be said to be their own experience, and Wonder Woman can't bear to look at what Wally experienced when the universe restarted.

"Although I know you want to help him, are you sure that this method will help Wally, let him experience the pain of losing everything again and again."

Putting his hand on Batman's shoulder, Wonder Woman also said there, and from their words, it can also be known that everything that the old 52 Wally experienced just now is just a reappearance of the restart of the universe at that time.It's just that in the eyes of Wonder Woman, isn't such a repeated experience too cruel for the old 52 Wally?

"There is only this way, Diana, we can't reverse the restart of the universe. The lost people can't come back. We who are reborn in this universe have already changed everything we have experienced. Whether you or I admit it or not, the fact is that, and What Wally needs is to have a good talk with the past, bid farewell to everything in the past, and then start a new life, only by facing the past can he find the meaning of where he is in this new universe.”

After pondering for a while, Batman also put his hand on Wonder Woman's hand to answer. At this time, the place they are in is Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Or a shelter in a Batcave computer.With the help of Superman's Kryptonian technology and Batman's wisdom, Wonder Woman built a shelter made of magic materials on Paradise Island.

The idea of ​​this shelter was proposed and established by Batman. Batman believes that, whether it is a superhero or a supervillain, there will be more or less psychological trauma in their long life. Superheroes or some remorseful super villains can't face themselves, and then degenerate, or become the kind of people they hate the most.

As the most authoritative Batman in this regard, he didn't want to see his tragedy repeated on others, so he created such a shelter with Superman and Wonder Woman.Only the three of them knew the coordinates, but they didn't expect that less than a year after the shelter was built, the first superhero who needed psychological counseling treatment ushered in the third generation of Flash from the old universe, Wally West .

"Okay, then I won't bother you two anymore, Wally seems to need my help more."

Glancing at Superman behind her, Wonder Woman gestured to Superman to take care of Batman before leaving the room.In the room, only the powerless Superman and Batman were left looking at the picture in the old 52 Wally's dream.After a long time, Superman sitting next to Batman broke the silence.

"So, Wally was first?"

"···yes."

"Can you skip this formulaic lying step? You built this shelter. If you say that you haven't tested it yourself, no one will believe it. Are you sure there is nothing wrong with this shelter?"

Sighing, listening to Batman's answer, Superman also complained helplessly, and at the same time asked whether this protection could have the effect in Batman's words.

"I'm not sure, but Wally is definitely not the last one. Those memories from the previous universe, some people can ignore them, but some people, will be too substituting, trying to merge with this memory. This will make the shelter become Come on, you know, even you and I can't escape the cowardly side of our hearts, let alone those superheroes who are still ordinary people."

Superman was silent, because he knew very well that even he wanted to make a psychological confession in front of the camera in the sanctuary, a place where he was alone.Because these videos will not be released, but will self-destruct after he has finished telling, which can save him from worrying about his secret becoming the news of the world.

"So, you must have used the shelter. No wonder your attitude towards that kid in Antarctica suddenly became worse. After all, Zatanna and you have known each other since childhood. Now, it's different."

"...There is a reason for this, but I can still distinguish where I am. It is just a memory of the last universe, and you can even regard it as a real dream. The difference is that I can learn from this dream. Some people can't do it. In addition, these memories are also a weapon for me. At least it can make me sure how many guys who were active in the previous universe are still alive in this new universe. It hasn't appeared in the universe yet."

"You really make the best use of everything. How dare you say that you can treat this memory as a dream? Are you eager to repeat this dream every day now?"

"Then if you want to say that, why don't we talk about the magical pink kryptonite."

? !
The moment Batman uttered this word, Superman also ran away violently, covered his ears, closed his eyes tightly, stood up and said: "Ah! Stop it, I already have a picture in my mind, hurry up Shut up, I don't want to remember!!!"

Regarding Superman's gaffe, Batman only showed a smug smile, and then looked at Wally who was comforted by The Flash and Wonder Woman in the picture, his relaxed expression returned to seriousness, watching all this, deducing the old 52 What kind of crisis will be caused by the memory invasion of the universe.

The camera slowly zooms out, showing the whole picture of the sanctuary built by the three giants, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. This is a farmhouse located on a golden field, with sunshine, breeze and wheat waves, showing the Like a paradise, five metal robots from the Titan Building also serve as the guards of this sanctuary. They are covered with high-simulation biological skin and have the same appearance as humans.

The ability to be born with a specific metal gives them enough combat power to protect these superheroes or super villains who come to seek psychological trauma.Then, the lens continued to zoom out, from a bird's-eye view, to the surface of the atmosphere, to the whole picture of the earth, and finally, it turned into an observation point and appeared on one of the multiverses, a huge spaceship in the shape of a city's brain. The appearance of the spaceship has human-like facial features, and there are many mechanical tentacles under the spaceship.

And in the deepest part of the spacecraft, two red lights lit up, showing the appearance of the planet Earth and the shelter on the earth in front of these two red lights.On the projected screen, there is information about the earth constructed in alien characters, followed by a series of alien languages ​​spoken from the mouths of the owners of the two red glows.

"Earth 0, the beginning of all stories, the timeline of the multiverse once again appeared chaos from here, including this universe, Darkseid was defeated again, is it your reason again? It is really surprising. Well, the newborn If you are a superhero, then, let me see what you, who interfere with the timeline, will do."

In this way, the spacecraft that was supposed to arrive at the earth in this parallel universe flashed its light when it approached the solar system, and also left the universe where it was, and shuttled towards the main universe where Ke Wen was.And on the earth of this multiverse, in a deserted plain, the Superman and Batman of this universe are drinking tea in the house, and the Superman and Batman who took off their combat uniforms are enjoying this rare leisure time.

And suddenly, Superman looked up to the sky too.

"What's wrong, Clark."

"Someone entered the solar system just now, but disappeared quickly."

"you sure?"

"I'm just dead in name. It doesn't mean that my ability is gone. There is nothing wrong with my perception. It's just that I don't know where I went now."

"Then let me send out satellites to investigate. I should be able to find some clues. I hope they are just passing by. We finally rested, and the earth is developing well now. Let this peace last longer."

"Oh, then don't forget, if someone hadn't passed by last time, we wouldn't be able to sit here and have afternoon tea now."

"Right."

The world's best partners in this universe are also teasing each other there, continuing to enjoy this hard-won free time.
