My girlfriend is a Kryptonian
443, Five Years Later (1/2)
Another winter, Christmas is approaching.
It suddenly started snowing at night, and snowflakes as big as goose feathers fell from the night sky thousands of meters away, covering the entire city.
Classic Christmas songs are playing on the streets of New York. High-rise buildings with a strong sense of technology are lined with colorful projection advertisements. Passers-by are walking in a hurry holding black umbrellas.
Hear Christmas songs and see a rare happy scene of a family holding hands while shopping on the road.
Many passers-by would occasionally stop and look up at the inky sky, letting snowflakes fall on their faces and melted water droplets sliding down their cheeks.
Even the most prosperous central pedestrian street at the moment does not have the joyful atmosphere of the holidays at all. Every citizen and passerby is like the night sky suppressing something, with a heavy look on his eyebrows from time to time, and there is an invisible gray haze lingering in the air.
If you look around.
If you can see this huge steel city with a new look and full of punk atmosphere, every street must have two or three large parks, and there are dense monuments everywhere in these parks.
Each monument stone has hundreds of names engraved on it:
Kofi Jonas, Peter Parker, Hoyle Burton...
At the bottom of these monuments, it is marked——
In memory of the victims who lost their lives in the "Flash Incident"!
There are piles of fresh flowers in front of the monument stone. Apparently, people come to clean, visit and remember them every day.
The display boards in these parks are full of missing persons tips.
Many tips written in black and white made clattering sounds under the cold winter wind. Finally, with a "tearing" sound, several missing persons tips fell off the display board and floated high into the city sky under the cold wind.
The Broadcasting Building in Times Square projected a large projection to the outside. In the cold air, the beam formed an image. The beautifully dressed female host said with a sad face:
"The entertainment and tourism sectors are as bleak as ever this Christmas."
“Five years have passed since the Flash Incident, and it is clear that we have not yet emerged from the most tragic disaster in human history. Nowadays, tracing people to visit relatives, treating mental illness, etc. are still difficult dilemmas for contemporary mankind..."
"Even if technology and living standards have improved several times compared to five years ago, human beings are still generally unconfident, unhappy, and do not want to accept reality."
"So, has it been so long?" On the street, a ray of pain flashed in the eyes of many passers-by.
The sudden invasion disaster five years ago took away the lives of at least half of humanity. Every family had more or less family members killed!
This has had such a huge impact on the world and society that it will be difficult to recover easily even in ten years, let alone five years.
As a metropolitan New York, the central streets that have been rebuilt are somewhat better. If you go to the outer city, you can see that many houses are abandoned and idle.
Some small countries and small towns are now as deserted and depressed as dead cities!
Some people named this era, the post-Shea era!
…
At this time, Queens, New York, outer city.
A closed room on the sixth floor of a residential building that has been abandoned for five years.
A blond girl about twelve years old was hiding under the table. Her little face was dirty, her clothes were ragged, her blue gem-like eyes showed fear, she was sitting on the ground with her hands on her knees, her little thin body shivering. trembling.
"Boom, boom!!"
Suddenly, there was a violent banging sound at the front door of the room, and then the front door was directly knocked open, with several well-armed soldiers standing outside the door.
The leader of the armed forces captain raised his left hand, and the watch instrument on his wrist scanned the girl in the room. After the instrument jumped out to two digits, he said: "Yes, she is the person we are looking for!"
Hearing the captain's words, the other team members were not happy but were shocked.
They looked at the blond girl hiding in the room, showing far more fear and nervousness than the other person, and their hands subconsciously clenched the special firearms in their hands.
The armed captain did not dare to walk directly into the room. With a look of fear on his face, he stood outside the door and spoke in a slow voice:
"Don't be afraid, we are good people and we are here to protect you."
As he spoke, the armed captain leaned forward and slowly placed the special pistol in his hand on the floor of the room.
But at this moment.
The blonde girl suddenly emerged from the table, climbed onto it, and jumped to the open window of the room.
"Damn it!"
The armed captain couldn't help but curse. He pretended to put down his special rifle, but actually took the opportunity to get closer to the opponent. As a result, the girl seemed to know what he was thinking.
The armed captain rushed to the window of the room and watched helplessly as the blond girl fell from the sixth floor, and was then steadily caught in the air by a black figure with a steel cable.
The black figure is a young white man with black hair. He is wearing a black tights with a bat totem on his chest. The tights are held up by strong muscles. He is tall and slender.
The opponent caught the blonde girl with one hand, hung the bat steel claw with one hand, and landed on the rooftop of the opposite house.
"It's Yeyi, and this time the other party beat him to it!"
The armed captain looked at the bat youth, punched the table, and said helplessly.
The team members on the side couldn't help but said: "Captain, that is a rare extraordinary person, do you just give up like this? We are also military personnel, there is no reason to be afraid of each other..."
"Then you can beat Nightwing?"
The armed captain glanced sideways at him: "You go ahead."
"Okay, forget it."
The armed member responded nonchalantly that he was just talking.
Are you asking for boredom by fighting against extraordinary heroes?
This armed team decisively chose to evacuate after Nightwing intervened.
On the rooftop of the house opposite.
The young bat man put the blond girl down on the ground and asked, "Kid, are you okay?"
The blonde girl shook her head, took a step back, and stared at him warily.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself." The bat youth said, "My name is Nightwing, and I am a member of the Youth League."
"Youth League?" The blonde girl blinked curiously.
"Yes, Kang belongs to the Heroes Association, but it is a relatively independent superhero team that was founded less than a year ago." Nightwing said with a smile: "You also have extraordinary abilities, right? That's why you are being targeted by the military. On. They always want to recruit talents with extraordinary abilities."
The blonde girl looked back at the window and asked curiously: "Are they afraid of you?"
Nightwing raised his head and said: "The superhero team now does not have some special rights and treatment like in the past. The military does not want to have a bad relationship with us, that's all."
The blond girl suddenly raised her left hand. There was a watch instrument on her wrist. After the instrument was pointed at the bat youth, a number "36" popped up.
Ye Yi smiled when he saw this, revealing a similar new instrument he was wearing on his left hand: "Do you also have a combat power detector? I have the latest model issued by Future Chronology Company, which can more accurately calculate the opponent's physique and energy comprehensively. extraordinary combat power value.”
"Of course, as the Future Chronicle Company said. Special abilities and ultra-black technology equipment cannot be obtained through instrument scanning, so the scanned combat power value can only be used as a basic numerical reference."
He didn't wait for Nightwing to finish.
The blond girl was already off guard and asked crisply: "You want to guide me to join the Junior League?"
Yeyi was stunned for a moment, then followed the words and said, "You are young and have extraordinary abilities. As long as you pass our internal review, you will indeed have a chance to join the Youth League."
The blond girl was silent for a moment, then continued to ask: "Do you get paid as a member of the Junior League?"
Yeyi didn't expect a girl to be so realistic, so he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Yes, three thousand dollars a month."
"Then I'll join." The blonde girl said softly: "My name is Jean Gray, and my ability is - mind reading."
"Mind reading?" Nightwing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "It turns out that you have already seen through my mind."
Xiaoqin nodded and said: "You are indeed not a bad person. Batman's apprentice, the second generation Robin..."
"Robin." Nightwing muttered softly, shook his head and said bitterly: "I no longer deserve that name."
He whispered: "Let's go, I'll take you to the Junior League headquarters.".
…
After Nightwing took Jean Gray off the rooftop.
On the rooftop of another high-rise building nearby, a man wearing a red armor with a lightning logo stood here, watching the whole process.
He moved and turned into a stream of current that flashed rapidly, flowing down the wall of the house, and appeared in the next street area in an instant.
But.
Another stream of red lightning, faster than him, followed closely from behind!
Two human-shaped lightning bolts, one behind the other, swept across the New York highway at high speed, passing through the endless traffic!
Zizzi! !
The Flash Barry Allen stopped in a street in New York. His bearded face was full of helplessness, and he turned around and said: "Jesse Quick, stop chasing him."
Zizzi! !
The red lightning stopped in front of him. It could be seen that it was a woman wearing a red tight-fitting battle suit that outlined the graceful curves of her body.
Although the other person has an extremely sexy figure, fair skin and red lips, in the eyes of Barry the Flash, the other person is not someone to be trifled with.
There was lightning left on the woman's body, and the Flash knew that it was the embodiment of the Speed Force!
Jesse Quick opened his lips slightly: "If you answer my questions well, I won't bother to follow you."
"What do you want to know?" Barry Allen breathed.
"What are you doing following the members of the Junior League?" Jesse Quick asked curiously.
"What I'm doing is not stalking, it's good-will supervision." Barry Allen spread his hands and said: "Most of the youth leagues are underage children. Although they have special extraordinary abilities, I don't trust their safety. That’s all.”
"OK, that makes sense."
Jesse Quick nodded and then asked: "What happened five years ago?"
The Flash Barry Allen was silent. He looked at Jesse Quick and said in a deep voice, "This is what you really want to ask!"
"After all, you are the only heroic member of the original Justice League who is still in the public eye." Jesse Quick said quickly: "I want to know. Five years ago, the cause of the Flash incident and the entire process of the incident ”
"What are those two-winged monsters? And why did they all turn into ashes and die?"
Jesse Quick's eyes were bright: "This matter must have something to do with the Justice League! Otherwise, why did you disband five years ago? Most of the heroes no longer appear. Even Batman gradually retreated behind the scenes and cultivated a bunch of so-called successors. people!"
"About the truth about the Flash incident..." Flash Barry Allen smiled bitterly: "It's not that we want to hide it from the public, but in our opinion, not knowing is far better than knowing!"
"Is it better to not know than to know?" Jesse Quick raised his eyebrows.
"Jesse Quick, let me remind you. Don't think that you are invincible just because you have the Speed Force. This universe is much more complex and terrifying than you think." Flash Barry Allen recalled the scene when he was controlled that year, and the despair is still unforgettable today.
"Is it your Justice League that finally solved the incident?" Jesse Quick asked.
Barry Allen shook his head and said, "If it was our Justice League that solved it, the Justice League would not have disbanded that year, and Batman would not have started to train a successor."
"Who is that?"
Jesse Quick asked, "Is it the Silver God of that year?"
Silver God, the extraordinary hero who was the most famous and popular five years ago!
However, since the Flash incident five years ago, the other party's whereabouts have completely disappeared from the world.
"You'd better not explore him, otherwise you will regret it."
Flash Barry left this sentence and turned into lightning and disappeared in the streets.
Jesse Quick stood there for a few seconds, then took a step and turned into a lightning bolt, leaving quickly in the opposite direction.
Ten seconds later.
Jesse Quick returned to her rental house in New York. It took her less than a second to take off her helmet and tights, and put on a casual loose fashion T-shirt, nine-point casual pants and home slippers.
By the way, make yourself a cup of hot coffee.
The woman took a sip of the coffee cup. She looked younger than when she was wearing a tight battle suit. She was about twenty years old. There was a university textbook on human sociology on the table next to her.
She looked like a female college student!
Jesse Quick, Free Beauty, dual hero titles, real name "Jesse Chambers"!
After the Flash incident, the most popular female hero, no one else!
Of course, this is also because Wonder Woman, Superwoman, Invisible Woman, Spider Woman, etc., famous female heroes disappeared collectively.
Many people even suspected that they had also sacrificed themselves.
Jesse tied her hair into a neat ponytail and walked into the room. The wall where the desk was placed was covered with complicated newspapers and pictures.
All about the Flash incident.
Jesse stepped forward and picked up the picture of the Silver God that she had taken a long time ago. She looked at the light man standing in the sky of the city like a god. This was taken by her when she was a girl.
Since her father passed away five years ago, Jesse has been trying to investigate the truth about the Flash incident.
She wants to uncover the biggest and most terrifying mystery in the world, look directly into the abyss, and want to know who the mysterious existence that finally filled this huge abyss is.
That will also be the ultimate mystery of the discipline of human sociology.
…
At the same time.
A person who did not exist in the world suddenly appeared on the streets of New York, as if he appeared out of thin air.
However, many passers-by next to him did not react to this.
It was a black-haired young man with wheat-colored skin, regular facial features, about 1.8 meters tall, well-proportioned and slender, wearing an ordinary dark red windbreaker.
He gave people a feeling of being ordinary, gentle, and a little elegant.
"Master, is it really okay to run out like this without telling others?"
A girl's voice asked weakly.
"It's okay, just come out for some fresh air."
The black-haired young man shrugged his shoulders, looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar street scene around him, smiled indifferently and said: "You're right, Guan Luo."
"Well, it's true that I haven't been out for a long time."
A spiritual thought came from the interlayer of the black-haired young man's dark red windbreaker.
