Superman

Chapter 389: Won the Family, Lose the Love

Barry Allen, a forensic examiner at the Midtown Police Department, is a sunny and cheerful boy.

It's just hard for outsiders to think that when he was eleven years old, he experienced an extremely cruel childhood nightmare.

The father, a doctor, was accused of killing his wife and was arrested and sent to prison.

This is a reality far more painful than losing a parent.

Let a child accept his father and become a murderer.

The gentle mother died by her husband's knife.

It's too dark.

If you put the background in the dark Gotham, Barry Allen will not be surprised to become a super criminal or gang leader.

Then he joined Batman's huge fan group, in and out of Black Gate Prison and Arkham Asylum all year round.

fortunately.

This is Midtown.

The few cities in the DC Universe that can be described as normal.

Even the villain's rogue gang pays attention to principles and never bullies the weak.

Compared to Gotham's mental illness, lunatics, and anti-human elements, they are simply angels.

Barry Allen, who lost his parents and was left unattended, was not sent to the orphanage after that.

Constable Joe West of the Midtown Police Department adopted him and used him to graduate from college.

The other party is a friend of Barry's father, an honest policeman and a good-hearted man.

After graduating from university, Barry chose to enter the Midtown Police Station in order to get rid of his father, who was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Yes, he never regarded his father as a criminal who destroyed humanity.

Because young Barry has seen a murderer!

There were two red and yellow lightnings in the room at that time, entangled with each other!

It's just that no one believes that, they all felt that Barry was traumatized by a strong mental injury, which led to hallucinations.

What an eleven-year-old kid said has no weight at all.

Therefore, with the firm idea of ​​reuniting with his father, Barry successfully entered the Midtown Police Station.

While working, he looked for new clues.

Until the lightning fell from the sky, breaking his peaceful life.

The big explosion of the particle accelerator, combined with the mixing of the liquid in the laboratory and the lightning that fell, completely changed Barry's fate.

He gained superb power and became a speeder.

Since then, Midtown has ushered in the first superhero, the Flash.

Barry used his swift power to punish evil and promote good and fight crime, while tracking down the tragedy that happened in childhood, and finally learned the truth.

A future man named "Reverse Lightning" and "Albert Swann".

It was he who traveled to the era of the Flash and murdered Barry's mother.

The real goal of Inverse Lightning is actually the young Barry.

But he was prevented by the future Flash. In order to vent his anger, he killed Barry's mother and caused the birth of the tragedy.

It's just that Reverse Lightning ignored the continuity of time and space. He relied on copying the Flash's accident to obtain superb power.

Once Barry Allen does not become the Flash, he will also be affected and lose everything.

In other words, Ni Lightning personally shuts himself in this space and time, and can no longer return to the future.

Because he didn't have super power, he couldn't continue to walk through the endless time and space corridor.

In order to save himself and return home, Reverse Lightning can only wait silently for Barry Allen to grow up, and then personally create the accident and make the Flash reappear, thus forming a closed loop of time and space.

This is the entanglement between Reverse Lightning and Flash, the grievances between this rival.

"I seem to have slept for a long time and had a long dream."

Barry Allen, who was awake, took the coffee from his adoptive father Joe.

He was like after a hangover, his thoughts tangled in a mess.

I just felt that a large number of pictures flashed by, like shattered memories.

"You are probably under too much pressure, Barry."

Joe pressed the young man’s shoulders and comforted: “But there’s no way. We’ve spent eighteen hours on this case, but we still don’t have any clear clues. The citizens want to know the truth, and the media are there. Everyone is under great pressure to fan the flames."

"So you work harder, Barry, and strive to extract more critical clues from the physical evidence found at the crime scene."

Joe is an experienced old policeman. He and his colleagues are investigating a murder case recently.

Through preliminary judgment, the murderer is likely to be a super criminal.

"Well, thank you for the coffee and the refreshing pre-war declaration, Joe."

Barry smiled and nodded. After drinking the steaming cup of coffee, he habitually started to work with superb speed.

"Ah, this... where is my superb power?"

Afterwards, Barry Allen, who was sober, felt something was wrong.

Super power, no more!

That wonderful force that is not bound by the laws of physics is not only able to accelerate Barry when he runs hard, but its help is also indispensable in life.

As long as you use superpower, the flow of time will seem to slow down.

Barry can accomplish several times the work with amazing efficiency.

For example, after reading all the archives in ten seconds, and then running two laps around Midtown, tracking the criminals through clues, and then sending them to the police station.

Test endorsements, take takeaways, do experiments... Even if you can't wake up in the morning and want to sleep in, Barry will quickly finish washing up with superb speed, and then rush to the Midtown Police Station.

It can be said that the speed force is simply the best tool for the Flash.

but!

right now!

It disappeared!

Barry's thinking is still running "slowly" at the usual speed.

What can be done in one millisecond, but now it's in minutes and hours.

Barry felt very uncomfortable, and he seemed to have become the "Lightning" sloth in "Zoo City".

Everything is so slow.

"What's the matter, Barry?"

Joe asked with a frown.

He noticed Barry's abnormality, and the other party seemed very uncomfortable.

"I... feel like nauseous."

Barry worked hard to adjust to the normal pace of life.

"By the way, Joe, if this is a murder of a super criminal, what should we do? Ask the Flash for help?"

While pretending to be working, he changed the subject and diverted his adoptive father's attention.

But then, Joe's answer completely stunned Barry.

"Who is the Flash? What are you talking about? Did you drink too much last night?"

Joe had weird eyes and didn't understand Barry at all.

"To confirm the identity of the criminal, of course it is to ask the'Cold Citizen' for help. He is the greatest hero in this city."

Cold citizen?

Barry's eyes widened.

What Joe said, shouldn't it be the cold captain of the rogue gang?

When did that guy become a superhero?

Barry felt that everything was wrong, he was filled with too much confusion, but no one could provide answers.

"Forget it, Barry, you'd better go back and rest for a day, you look too tired."

Joe shook his head and said.

This usually clever and clever boy, how nonsense today, he looks like a drunkard.

"Okay, okay, Joe."

Barry nodded and agreed. He needed to figure out all this and figure out what happened.

Putting on his coat, he ran as usual, only to remember that the superpower had disappeared.

"My ring..."

The ring that contained the Flash suit was not in Barry's hand.

When his thoughts diverged, he stepped on the steps to go downstairs, he rolled and fell down, and his head hit the ground heavily.

After the impact, the brain seemed to be stimulated, and a large amount of strange memories burst out instantly.

Without the tragic experience at the age of eleven, his mother was not murdered and his father was not sent to prison.

He didn't...become the Flash!

The greatest hero in Midtown is called the Citizen of Cold.

Those damned villains of the rogue gang have become positive figures respected by all.

"Iris..."

Barry thought bitterly.

Iris West, who was supposed to be his wife, did not join him in the marriage hall, but became the wife of others.

At this moment, Barry was full of bitterness.

He didn't know whether he did it right or wrong.

Won the affection, save the mother.

But after losing love, the wife and the next door Pharaoh got better.

"No! I have to find a way!"

Barry struggled to get up and patted the dust on his clothes.

A bold conjecture vaguely surfaced in his heart, but he dared not confirm it.

If the world is completely changed, only one person can help oneself!

Batman!

The brain of the Justice League!

No matter how unbelievably strange things are encountered, Batman can always accept them quickly and give a solution!

Walking to Barry on the side of the road, he immediately reached out and stopped a taxi.

"Go to Gotham!"

He said to the driver.
