Marvel’s Superman

Chapter 389: Win Family, Lose Love

Barry Allen, a forensic investigator at the Midtown Police Department, is a bright 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.

His father, a doctor, was accused of killing his wife, which led to his arrest and imprisonment.

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

Let a child accept his father and become a murderer.

Gentle mother, killed by her husband's knife.

It's so dark.

If you put the background in the dark Gotham, Barry - Allen is no surprise to be a super criminal, or a gang leader.

Then join the huge fan base of Batman, who has been in and out of Blackgate Prison and Arkham Asylum all year round.

fortunately.

This is Midtown.

There are few cities in the DC universe that can be called normal.

Even the villains and gangsters pay attention to principles and never bully the weak.

Compared to Gotham's psychopaths, lunatics, and anti-humans, they are simply angels.

Barry Allen, who lost his parents and was left without care, was not sent to an orphanage after that.

Constable Joe West of the Midtown Police Department adopted him for college graduation.

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

After graduating from college, Barry chose to join the Midtown Police Department to clear his father, who was sentenced to life in prison.

Yes, he never saw his father as a dehumanizing criminal.

Because young Barry had witnessed the murderer!

At that time, there were two red and yellow lightning bolts in the room, entangled with each other!

It's just that no one believes that, they all feel that Barry is deeply traumatized and hallucinated.

The words of an eleven-year-old child have no weight at all.

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

As he works, he searches for new clues.

Until that bolt of lightning fell from the sky and broke his peaceful life.

The explosion of the particle accelerator, combined with the lab-mixed liquid and the falling lightning, completely changed Barry's fate.

He got the speed force and became a speeder.

Since then, Midtown has welcomed its first superhero, The Flash.

Barry uses his speed to punish evil and promote good, fight crime, while tracking down the tragedy that happened when he was a child, and finally learns the truth.

A future man nicknamed "Reverse Lightning" named "Alberd Swan".

It was he who traveled back in time to The Flash and murdered Barry's mother.

The real target of Reverse Lightning is actually young Barry.

But he was stopped by the future Flash, and in order to vent his anger, he killed Barry's mother, causing the birth of that tragedy.

It's just that Reverse Lightning ignores the continuity of time and space. He relies on copying The Flash's accident to obtain the speed force.

Once Barry Allen doesn't become The Flash, then he too, loses everything.

In other words, Reverse Lightning personally locked himself in this space and time, and could never return to the future.

Because he doesn't have the speed power, he can't continue to travel through the boundless space-time corridor.

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

This is Reverse Lightning and The Flash, the entanglement of grievances between the old enemies.

"I seem to have a long sleep and a long dream."

The sobered Barry Allen took the coffee from his adoptive father Joe.

His thoughts were tangled up in a tangled mess, as if after a hangover.

I just feel that there are a lot of pictures flashing by, like a revolving light of fragmented memories.

"You're probably under too much pressure, Barry."

Qiao held the young man's shoulder and comforted: "But there is no way. We have spent 18 hours on this case, but we still don't have any definite clues. The citizens want to know the truth, and the media is also Fanning the flames, everyone is under a lot of pressure."

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

Joe is a seasoned old cop, and he and his colleagues are currently solving a murder case.

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

"Well, thank you for the coffee, and the cheering pre-war manifesto, Joe."

Barry nodded with a smile, and after drinking the steaming cup of coffee, he habitually started working with Speed ​​Force.

"Ah, this... where is my speed force?"

Then, the sobered Barry Allen felt something was wrong.

Speed ​​Force, gone!

That wonderful force that is not bound by the laws of physics can not only accelerate when Barry is running hard, but also help him in life.

As long as the speed force is used, the flow of time will seem to slow down.

Barry can do many times as much work with astonishing efficiency.

For example, read all the archives within ten seconds, then run around the Midtown twice, track the criminals through clues, and then tie them to the police station gate.

Endorsing exams, taking takeaways, doing experiments... Even if he couldn't get up in the morning and wanted to sleep in, Barry would use his Speed ​​Force to quickly finish washing up, 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!

Now!

It's gone!

Barry's mind was still running "slowly" at his usual speed.

Originally, it only took one millisecond to complete all the work, but now it is specific to how many minutes and how many hours.

Barry felt very uncomfortable, like he became the sloth named "Lightning" in "Zootopia".

Everything is so slow.

"What's the matter, Barry?"

Joe frowned.

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

"I... feel like throwing up."

Barry struggles to adjust his condition and return to a normal life rhythm.

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

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

But then, Joe's answer left Barry completely stunned.

"Who's The Flash? What are you talking about? Did you drink too much last night?"

Joe's eyes were weird, and he didn't understand what Barry meant at all.

"To confirm the identity of the criminal, of course, I asked for the help of the 'Cold Citizen'. 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 all this was wrong, and he was full of too much confusion, but no one could provide an answer.

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

Joe shook his head.

This usually smart and clever young man, how come he is full of nonsense today, like a drunken alcoholic.

"Okay, okay, Joe."

Barry nodded in agreement, he needed to figure it all out, figure out what was going on.

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

"My ring..."

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

When his thoughts diverged, he stepped on the steps to go downstairs, and the whole person tumbled and fell down, hitting the back of his head heavily on the ground.

After the collision, the brain seemed to be stimulated, and a large number of unfamiliar memories poured out in an instant.

There was no tragic experience at the age of eleven, the mother was not murdered, and the father was not sent to prison.

Nor did he... be the Flash!

Midtown's greatest hero is called Chill Citizen.

The damned villains of the rogue gang have become positive figures admired by everyone.

"Iris..."

Barry thought bitterly.

Iris West, who was supposed to be his wife, did not walk into the marriage hall hand in hand with himself, but became someone else's wife.

This time, Barry was full of bitterness.

He didn't know whether he was right or wrong.

Win the family and save the mother.

But after losing the love, the wife and the old king next door are good.

"No! I'll find a way!"

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

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

If the world is truly changed, only one person can help him!

Batman!

The brains of the Justice League!

No matter how bizarre and strange he encounters, Batman can always accept it quickly, and then 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.

ps: I'm tired, I'll make it up tomorrow~
