The Knights of the DC House

Time goes back in time, nine hours before the game between the Joker and Ke Wen, in Nanosino City and the Titan Building, the Flash came to the Titan Building through the sonic tunnel and took the toy man who had been seduced by the Joker and fell into accepting his past identity.

The two super villains Giganta and Giganta took it in and prepared to send it to a asylum set up by Batman specifically for the psychological trauma of superheroes and some super villains, just like the villains in Gotham.

Through the sonic tunnel, the Flash left with the toy and the Gigantamax. It wasn't that the Flash didn't want to directly take the toy and the Gigantamax to the shelter at his own speed. He didn't know where the shelter was. The same happened last time.

Batman led the way and took them directly inside the shelter without letting The Flash know a specific coordinate. This was a secret location that only Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman knew, in order to protect those who came over to the greatest extent.

A hero or villain undergoing psychotherapy.

After watching the Flash leave, Cyborg was also doing his own thing there, searching for traces of the Joker. However, the Joker in an inferior purple suit just appeared majestically behind Cyborg, humming a tune and walking lightly,

But Cyborg, who had his back to the clown, did not turn around and was still doing his own thing there, as if the clown did not exist behind him at all. There was a power erasing Cyborg's perception of the things around him, making him ignore it.

Someone was walking past him.

The clown stopped on the transmission device of the sonic blast channel, looked at the buttons above, narrowed his eyes, poked his finger on his chin, pretending to think, and then poked several buttons back and forth a few times. The closed sonic blast channel opened, taking the clown with him.

Disappeared in the Titan Building. As the clown was teleported away, Cyborg's senses, which had been wiped out, came back online, and he looked at the closed sonic tunnel behind him with confusion.

"Has anyone used the sonic blast channel just now?" With some doubts, Cyborg continued his work. Since there was no early warning from security or his own electronic perception, it was probably the human part of him that was suspicious.

In an unknown place, a shelter disguised as a farmhouse stands on a golden field. If you don't know that it is a shelter used to heal the psychological trauma of superheroes and supervillains, just from the appearance. Everything here is peaceful.

, matched with the scenery, it is like a paradise-like existence. But in the true face of this camouflaged farmhouse underground shelter, the third generation of Flashes from the old 52 universe, who were rescued by Ke Wen, are truly the most powerful people in the world.

The fast guy, Wally West, is also experiencing his worst day.

The sky turned into a red sky. On this day when the sun still rose, he was doing his daily routine as a Flash and preparing dinner for his wife and children. The world was destroyed. The people around him were personalized.

The fragments disappeared, and the comrades who fought side by side, the most powerful superhero in the world, and the greatest detective were helpless in such a crisis, and they all disappeared into fragments, leaving only themselves in the end.

He returned home and repeated the powerless action again, wrapping his wife and children with the Speed ​​Force in an attempt to save them from the crisis of world destruction. Although Wally knew that none of this was true,

This is a reality that has already happened and cannot be changed, but the illusion created by this shelter from his own memories is so realistic that even if Wally knows that it is an illusion, he cannot break away from it and just keeps doing meaningless actions over and over again.

According to the memories of the destruction of the old universe in Wally's mind, the shelter is constantly making adjustments and correcting what happened, so that Wally can say goodbye to the past, step out of the shadows, and face life again. That's it.

Like this time, according to the illusion created by Wally, Wally still failed to save his wife and children this time. The children disappeared, leaving only his wife, who was also on the verge of disappearing, but this time, according to Wally's memory,

The phantom of his wife also bid farewell to her husband with tears.

"Wally, stop it, you should leave."

"No! Linda, believe me, I can save you!" Creating a storm of speed, the power of speed flowed through Linda's phantom, trying to maintain Linda's gradually collapsing body, while also roaring unwillingly.

With.

"I know, dear, you can always save everyone, in an instant, but there are always exceptions, it is enough. Now you are the only one left alive here, don't die, Wally, if you die too,

Everything will be over, no one will remember our existence, so you have to survive."

Even though it is a phantom, the character and tone are no different from the lover in Wally's mind. Wally also understands that these are what his wife would say, not what he wants his wife to say. The construction of the illusion of the asylum is so terrifying

, the past it restores is all real, and cannot be explained simply by a fantasy. This is also the reason why everyone cannot escape once they enter the fantasy. You know that it is all fake, but it is real.

To make you forget the fact that it is false.

"No, I can, Linda, I can save you!" Wally was still repeating, but the facts of what happened were right in front of him, and his beloved wife was also collapsing.

"Goodbye Wally, stay alive."

With tears, Wally's wife Phantom also completely collapsed in front of him. Wally's rescue was once again in vain, but this time, his wife said goodbye to him and asked him to live well. The scene of the destruction of the world slowly

disappeared, and the illusion constructed returned to reality. What was still displayed in front of the old 52 Wally who kept running was four cold walls. The sprinting Wally slowly stopped, and the speed force created around him

The storm slowly dissipated, and finally I was left alone, kneeling on the ground unable to do anything.

"Don't leave me alone, please."

Sitting on his knees on the ground, Wally looked around and cried. The illusion was over and he had to face reality again. This was a new universe. Everything he had here had to start over, even if everyone here

Already remembered him.

"Ha! Rachel died because of you! Because you turned a blind eye to the crime. She didn't deserve to die like this. Gordon, you should pay the price!"

"Mine! It's all mine! I am the King of Gotham!"

"Pudding~my pudding, what do you think our child should be called?"

Just as Wally was devastated by everything he had lost, voices were also ringing out in the other empty rooms next to him. Someone was experiencing the same thing as him, experiencing the worst day in the past, or perhaps...

Immerse yourself in the reality you want most. But in the end, both good and bad dreams will be shattered, and they will have to go through everything they have experienced and face their worst day.

With a tired body, Wally from the old 52 universe took off his battle uniform and walked up from the underground of the shelter. At this time, the Metal Ranger robot disguised as a human came up to support Wally and took him aside.

Resting on the sofa.

"Who are they?" Sitting there, wrapped in a blanket, Wally also asked Mr. Gold, who was wearing a layer of artificial skin next to him as a disguised highly intelligent robot and made of gold.

"The Flash and Green Lantern were brought here from Gotham. Like you, they seem to have memory problems and are undergoing corrective treatment."

In terms of memory? Are you the victim of the memory rebirth crisis caused by me? Wally's guilt is also a little heavier. Because he once fell into paranoia and wanted to use the speed force to go back to the past and modify a certain time node to make everything return to the past.

On the right track, if it weren't for Ke Wen, the Flash and himself in this new universe tried their best to stop it, it would have been another Flashpoint crisis, but Flashpoint stopped it, and all the memories of the old universe in his mind were also released, affecting

The whole world.

"I'm tired, can you get me a cup of coffee?"

"Here it comes." The highly intelligent metal man did not refuse Wally's request. He understood the feelings of the Flash in front of him very well. Just by repairing his mental environment in the shelter every day, Wally experienced

No less than dozens of times, even a man made of iron would have collapsed in such an environment, but he didn't, which is enough to show how sad he was. In response, the metal man named Mr. Gold left.

, go find your companions.

But after Mr. Gold left, the disguised farmhouse also fell into an eerie silence. In this silence, only the sound of wheat waves blown by the wind echoed in Wally's ears. Wally, who was waiting for the coffee to be delivered, also

I frowned at this moment. Is this cup of coffee a little old?

"Mr. Gold, are you still there?"

What responded to Wally was another voice, and a face that Wally had never expected, a pale face, with looming pink facial muscles, and a cup of coffee in his hand, coming out of the slightly dim kitchen.

Walked out.

"He's here, just taking a break, your coffee~Flash~"

"clown!"

When he saw the clown appearing here, Wally stood up directly. Even in this new universe where everything had been lost, Wally had not forgotten how scary the clown was. He understood more clearly that the clown's appearance here meant a lot to those who had been killed.

How dangerous are the people escorted here for psychological treatment? But when Wally stood up and prepared to use the speed force to subdue the clown, he also felt the weakness of his hands and feet. He sat back on the sofa and looked at the man who walked in front of him.

Clown with angry eyes.

"Hey hey hey, relax, it's just a little nerve relaxant. I evaporated it into gas and absorbed it by you. Well, according to the abnormal metabolism of the speedster, I think it will be excreted from your body in a few minutes, and then

, you are the fastest person in the world again, come on, drink the coffee first."

Wally, who unknowingly fell into the clown's trap, wanted to resist, but after inhaling a large amount of muscle relaxants, he couldn't even lift a finger. He was slumped on the sofa with an ugly posture. He was still a member of the clown gang.

He adjusted his position, opened Wally's mouth with the brewed coffee, and poured it into him.

The scalding coffee directly burned off a layer of skin on Wally's upper jaw and then entered his stomach. These injuries will be restored quickly under the action of the Speed ​​Force, but before that, Wally had nothing to do and could only watch the clown on his own.

He was acting recklessly. After sorting out the wrinkles on Wally's body, the clown also sat down in front of Wally and fixed his hair. Then he looked at Wally who was glaring at him and said.

"Yes, yes, I know I'm charming. You don't have to look at me like that. As for why I'm here, well, I'm the person who knows Batboy best in the world. If you want to play games with him, first of all

You have to be decent at your own level, so how about we skip the nonsense conversation and get straight to the point?"

"What do you want to say!" Wally looked directly at the clown. Unable to resist, he could only express his attitude in this state.

"What I want to say is what you are thinking," he pointed at himself and then at Wally, "I know what you are going through now. You have lost everything, your former lover, children, parents,

Your universe. Even though this memory storm has swept the entire world, only your world is still so incomplete. Linda Parker is still the same Linda Parker. There is no you in her memory, otherwise I think she should be at this time

Appearing at the Flash Museum in Central City, looking for the Flash's help to help her find her husband, right? For her, becoming a couple with the Flash is just a dream."

The Joker's words directly hit Wally's fragile heart. During this time in the asylum, he kept struggling in the illusion created by his own memory. The more he struggled, the more he realized that the people he cared about could never come back. The super super in this world

The heroes all remember themselves, but after all, they are individuals reborn with the birth of this new universe. This is just a life that belongs to the past universe.

They can help themselves and want to get out of this haze and face a new life. This is true. But some things, some people, and everything that belongs to them never come back.

"Obviously, you know what I'm talking about, look here, what is this, oh, shelter, they think you need shelter, but do you really, do you really need these things? I miss you

I have the answer in my heart." Pointing to the disguised farmhouse, the clown was also commenting there.

Wally didn't answer, because the clown was right, no matter how beautiful the farmhouse was, no matter how beautiful the environment was, in his heart, he still just wanted to live in the home of four with his wife and children in Central City, but there,

But it became a ruin in my heart.

"How do you know all this, including my story?"

"It's also because of you. Those memories let me know how much fun I had with Batboy in the previous universe. I love this infinite loop game. But now, there is someone who wants to destroy this game and break it.

This made me very angry, but don’t worry, it was a game between me and him. I came here just to repay you. You made me clearer about my position and what I mean to Batboy.

How important it is, so I am here just to help you."

"What can you help me with?"

"Help you face a reality completely," the clown stepped forward, looked at Wally, and said there: "They created everything to let you face the darkest moment in your heart, and then constantly modified it to make you

Gradually numbness makes you feel that everything will be fine, and then you can face a new life. But deep down in your heart, you deeply understand that none of this will be fine. What you have lost will never be found.

Don’t come back! The reason why you are in pain is because you feel why you are the only one who survived and did not dissipate with your family in the lost universe.”

Wally wanted to refute, but he couldn't say a word. He didn't know how to refute the clown's argument. It would have been better if he hadn't been saved, Wally thought in his heart at this time, if he hadn't sought help,

Just being torn apart by the Speed ​​Force and assimilating into a part of the Speed ​​Force, there would not be so much pain. If only the Kamen Rider named Ke Wen had not saved himself, if, if, if, Wally's heart echoed

With such a voice.

"It seems that you listened to what I said, so in return, I will give you a chance to find the answer."

"What do you want to tell me."

"Oh, I can't tell you anything. You are a speedster, the fastest person in the world. You know best about the sensitivity of timelines. You only focus on the memory storm from the old universe that you brought about.

But he didn't take a good look at this new universe." After saying that, the clown stood up, walked behind Wally, and whispered in his ear: "Now, activate your speedster mind to see the timeline of this new universe.

What is it? Look carefully, maybe you can find the answer. The answer to the puzzle is often hidden in the puzzle, so bye~"

Looking at the time on the watch, the clown also knew that the effect of the muscle relaxants on Wally had passed. At this time, Wally could break his neck at any time. But he didn't. He was deep in thought because of his words.

The figure began to become blurry, because he was vibrating himself to explore everything that happened on the new universe timeline. The clown's last words gave Wally motivation.

He started mumbling to himself, saying "Answer," and he was immersed in exploring the new universe, which was the timeline that changed from the time when the Justice League defeated Darkseid's first attack. There was no such thing.

Noticing the clown's departure, the clown looked at Wally who was entering a state of rapid speed. With a smile, he slowly faded into the darkness and disappeared into the shelter, walking with his light steps and rhythmic footsteps.

It also slowly disappeared and everything returned to its original state.

In the shelter below, the villains from Gotham who were affected by the memory rebirth of the old universe are still experiencing what happened. The metal robot responsible for guarding has also recovered from being offline, and Wally has also stood up from the sofa.

, murmured words, and walked towards the stairs leading to the underground shelter.

Time returns to the present, late at night in Nazionale City, located on the top floor of the Knight Studio Building. Superman, Batman, Kevin, and Dick looked at the clown who broke his neck and committed suicide. They fell into a daze for a moment, and then reacted first.

Ke Wen, who came over, directly used an isolation circle to isolate the area where the clown committed suicide. He probably knew a little bit about the so-called clown virus. If you kill the clown, you will become the next clown. Although he doesn't know whether it is true or not, be careful when driving.

There is no problem with the annual boat.

After isolating the Joker's body, Ke Wen also asked Batman and Superman: "Where is Kid Flash? You know who I'm talking about!"

"Cyborg! Open the blast channel and follow the coordinates I'm sending you now!" Regarding Ke Wen's question, Batman also knew the seriousness of the matter. There was no secrecy at this time. He had experienced it once with a friend before.

I don't want to experience the fall again.

"Nightwing, contact the Flash and ask him to follow us! This is an emergency!"

With just enough time to give Dick an order, Cyborg in the Titan Building immediately opened the sonic tunnel leading to the shelter. Ke Wen, Superman and Batman disappeared directly into the sonic tunnel as quickly as possible.

Arriving at the shelter, Ke Wen didn't have time to wonder why Batman had set up a base in a place like this that he didn't know. Under the guidance of Batman and Superman, Ke Wen also went to the underground shelter and saw what was going on.

Old 52 Wally who escaped from the illusion.

After seeing Wally's calm face emerging from the illusion, Ke Wen and Superman also breathed a sigh of relief. Only Batman, looking at the old 52 Wally at this time. He who had experienced the worst day could recover from this moment.

Wally felt the same breath. "Is everything okay, Wally?"

Looking at Wally, Batman asked the same question. Regarding Batman's question, both Ke Wen and Superman showed doubtful expressions, but after seeing Batman's staring gaze, they couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts and looked at Wally.

, began to feel anxious.

"Is everything okay? No, Bruce, everything is not okay. I'm grateful for your efforts," Wally, who lowered his head and came out of the illusion again, said there, then looked up and saw

Looking at the few people who appeared in front of him at this time, his eyes finally rested on Ke Wen.

"Ke Wen, I can call you this."

"Always okay, Wally, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I just have a question to ask you and I hope you can answer me."

"you say."

"You said you wanted to break this recurring cycle so that the universe could run like this without repeating itself, thus changing everyone's tragedy, right?"

"Um."

"So, what about my tragedy? Have you ever thought about how to change it?"

Such a question made Ke Wen hesitate, not knowing how to answer it, and Wally also got the answer.

"Yeah, I think you don't know either. None of you can know. You just asked me to come out and face this new life, but I don't want to face this new life without a place for me. The answer I want can only be

I’ll find it myself!”

As he spoke, the yellow speed lightning flowed crazily on Wally and began to fill the entire shelter, including other people who were still experiencing the illusion at this time. They were all affected. Wally's changes made Ke Wen unexpected.

At this time, he understood that no matter what Wally was doing, he had to stop him. Without thinking much, the ghost drive appeared on his waist, and at the same time, the Flash Eye Soul also appeared in his hand, so he dressed directly and transformed.

At the same time, the Flash, who set off from Central City after learning the news, also appeared in the shelter at the same time. The two of them rushed towards Wally, who was close at hand, and Wally, who was surging with the speed force,

At this moment, the Speed ​​Force was completely released. At this moment, a huge light illuminated the entire shelter and the camouflaged farmhouse on top!
