The Death Knell

Of course, drinking a cup of coffee between wars is a rare luxury for Batman, and this is actually his hobby.

Whether it's black tea or coffee, as long as it's brewed by Ah Fu, Alfred of Night Owl has long since died, but he has a fully automatic coffee machine made based on Ah Fu's craftsmanship.

During the recent turbulence of Earth Minus 3, Wayne Mansion also suffered some impacts. Fortunately, the damage to this machine was not complete.

After a short rest, Batman and Night Owl agreed on their contact information and split up.

Night Owl took over the task of recruiting helpers in the Dark Multiverse, while Batman himself was preparing to travel to the antimatter universe to see if he could find any trace of the Anti-Monitor.

For a detective, this is a fitting assignment.

Although he was still injured when he left, the familiar smell seemed to activate him again, and he would continue to work hard for Gotham and the Earth.

....................................................

"A lot of stuff was taken."

Superman lay on the console and looked at the comparison list on the screen. The interior of the Fortress of Solitude was now as messy as if it had been hit by a tornado.

His expression was helpless. The infected Super Girl and her gang of Laughing Bats successfully entered the place and then looted it.

Seeing the list of lost items, I felt a little sick.

Barry's head turned. He didn't know how to comfort Superman, so he could only use the Speed ​​Force to help him clean up. Finally, he turned the sofa over and sat on the tattered fabric.

"I just took a look. In addition to a lot of alien technology, the Laughing Bat also took away several kinds of metals. What does he want to do?"

"I have no idea."

Superman told the truth, because those madmen not only took away various weapons and resources, but also took away several sets of Superman's old uniforms, several sleeping bags, some wine and food, as well as some pots and pans, and even these Props that are useless in battle account for a higher proportion of lost items.

This doesn't make sense at all. The Laughing Gang don't act like crazy villains ready to destroy the world, but like boy scouts who are getting ready to go camping but have no money to buy tools.

Barry had some ideas. He punched his palms with his fist and crossed his legs on the sofa: "I guess the Laughing Bat is here to get those metals. People in the Dark Multiverse seem to be very addicted to metals."

"Promethium metal, N metal, Superman gold, divine gold, everything I have here has been taken away." Superman rubbed his face, his brows furrowed, looking a little worried: "Maybe we should deal with the Laughing Man first. Bat, let’s carry out Star Man’s plan again.”

"Man, this is what I want to say." Barry dug behind his back, took out an empty bottle from the sofa cushion, activated the Speed ​​Force and put it into the trash can: "There is something wrong with Star Man's plan, we can no longer spread our forces. , and they are still going to different times. If someone cuts off the time channel, the action team will be trapped at a certain point in time. Even if I rescue people through the speed force, it may no longer be them, but in the time stream. Another peer of."

Superman raised his hand to signal Barry to stop talking: "Star Man is a veteran superhero. We were not even born when he became a vigilante. I believe in him. He always has good intentions. Maybe the plan is not too good. Rigorous, then we will make up for it by executing the plan more carefully and carefully.”

The Flash scratched his head. One of Superman's biggest characteristics is that he is sometimes stubborn. If Batman is a representative who is unwilling to trust others, Superman is just the opposite.

He was too willing to trust everyone and opened his heart to anyone who showed kindness.

Even when Luthor wanted to join the Justice League, he went to Superman and said, 'I was wrong, I changed, and now I want to be a good person.'

It was that simple, he believed his old enemy's words.

Superman ignored Batman's objections and brought Luthor into the Justice League. The result was naturally... Luthor used the Zhenglian database to find out the existence of the 'Door Knob of Destruction', and then these things happened. .

You must know that Diana and Leopard Girl have such a good relationship. When they meet, they treat each other as sisters. She has never mentioned letting Leopard Girl join the main alliance, and Batman has not agreed to let the Joker join.

The Joker did approach Batman and said that he wanted to join the Zhenglian and stay with Bat forever, because Batman was often on duty in Washington, D.C., and he was so lonely in Arkham alone.

What you got in exchange was a few punches. Is this why you escaped from prison?

He hopes to be good friends with his old enemy. Although Barry understands this desire to persuade people to do good, he can't do it himself, because humans are naturally worried and suspicious.

But it is precisely because of this that Superman appears great. He also has hope for changes in his enemies, hoping that everyone will become better.

Xiao Shen let out a breath. Although for him, the cooperation with his Zhenglian partners spanned decades between restarts, none of these friends made him worry.

"The starting point of the plan is good, I have no doubt." Barry covered his head and huddled on the sofa. He felt so tired: "But good wishes are not a guarantee of success, Clark, we all know the reality is cruel."

"Yes, I know." Dachao smiled, and his sunny expression seemed to melt the ice of the Arctic: "But I believe in hope. We are the Justice League. Everyone is here to become a better version of themselves and help More people are united. Star Man’s plan is feasible, so we must give it a try within three days, at least it is better than doing nothing and waiting for the end of the world to happen, right?"

Barry lay down on the sofa and rolled a few times. The spring without the cloth made him very uncomfortable. He looked at the ceiling like a dead fish:

"Maybe the scene three days later was an illusion? Star Man's power comes from the total body, which is equivalent to coming from Perpetua. I trust Su's judgment more than him."

Superman shook his head. He sat next to Barry, put his big hands on his shoulders, and replied sincerely: "But what if it is true? In such a terrible future, we can only believe in it or not. Because once we ignore it and it happens, then each of us has failed the world.”

Barry closed his eyes. He was convinced by Superman that this was indeed a problem, and he himself never liked arguing with friends about too serious topics.

He valued friendship with everyone more than his own life and death, and he always only had to do things that were worthy of his own conscience.

"Okay, then let me and Wally go. I go to the past time, and Wally goes to the future. With the cooperation of the Speed ​​Force, we should be able to take back the fragments of the total assembly from the Veterans Club and Luther, and return safely. .”

Superman shook his head, his eyes full of determination and fearlessness: "No, since I want to go, I can't just let you go, because I know Luthor, he has the invention of a time machine, and he is likely to attack you at different points in time. , every team we separate must have the strength to confront those members of the Legion of Destruction head-on."

Hearing his answer, Barry put his hands on his forehead, lay flat, and said feebly: "It's really troublesome, if only Batman or Deathstroke were here."

"We can't do what they can do, but everyone has their own strengths. I believe that hard work can make up for those areas where we are not talented." Superman smiled and hooked Barry's neck and got him off the sofa. Pulling up, he seemed to have forgotten about the theft of the Fortress of Solitude: "Let's go back to the Hall of Justice first, everyone is still waiting for us."
