The next day, like a criminal, Barry was personally escorted by Nick Fury to Superman's mansion, a suburban estate in San Antonio.
Following the humorless, stern-faced black man into the courtyard, he saw a beautiful lady.
"Want black tea? Or soda? Luke, he's over there at the pool."
Paige brushed back her hanging hair, glanced at the nervous Barry, and said with a smile.
"The soda is ready."
The latter thought for a while and replied.
Pizza and Fat House Happy Water are his favorites.
When a speedster runs, he or she consumes terrifying amounts of energy and calories.
In the beginning, Barry had to inject several large bags of glucose every day to supplement his nutrition.
"Go there by yourself."
Nick Fury was sitting in the living room and pointed in the direction of the swimming pool.
Open the window and the midday sun shines down.
Barry saw the figure on the lounge chair, wearing swimming trunks and sunglasses, shirtless, holding a glass of juice in his hand.
Like tourists on vacation in Hawaii, life is leisurely and relaxed.
"Which Barry are you?"
Luke asked aloud as soon as he saw the Flash.
He didn't just deal with Barry Allen from The Flashpoint Paradox.
The Flash will also exist in the second time branch that will be reopened later.
In that world, Luke is Superman's cousin and Lex Luthor's godfather, which completely affects the direction of the story.
Theoretically, the Flash in that branch would also be aware of his existence.
"How many of me do you know?"
Barry scratched his head and asked curiously.
Superman's cousin has too many secrets, just like Batman.
As his teammate, it gives people a sense of security.
But if you become an enemy, it will be a headache.
"Well, you're supposed to be Barry from Flashpoint."
Luke took off his sunglasses and said lazily: "If it were the Flash in other timelines, they would solve other questions first."
"For example, which parallel world is this?"
Barry Allen, who has experienced Flashpoint, is probably the speedster who knows the most about parallel universes other than Kid Flash Wally West.
There is no way, who told them to be the first to be sacrificed to heaven every time there is a big event.
Just like the Bat family, most of them have lost their parents and have miserable life experiences;
When the Superman family was growing up, they always faced many problems and felt confused.
The meaning of the existence of the Lightning Family may be to create a switch that can be restarted at any time for those beings in the omnipotent universe who control the fate of heroes.
Before the Crisis on Infinite Earths broke out, the second-generation Flash Barry Allen was the focus of sacrifice.
After that, the third generation of Flash Wally West took over gloriously.
In comics such as "Zero Hour", "Rebirth", and "Metal", people die and live again, live and then are sacrificed to heaven, and so on.

"Obviously, this is not my multiverse at all."
The Flash had a wry smile on his face, looked at Luke and said, "I have lost the Speed Force, and I can't sense its energy, its force field, or its existence at all."
The Speed Force is a magical force belonging to the DC universe, and Barry plays the role of "generator".
He is most closely connected to the Wall of Speed Force, and every time he takes a step, the Speed Force will be generated.
"At the beginning, the white-haired guy couldn't catch up with me. But the longer I ran, the slower my speed became. My body's speed force was completely depleted and could not be replenished... This was something I had never encountered before. problem!”
Barry analyzed calmly and drew inferences.
"The Speed Force does come from outside the Wall of Origin, but no matter what, it is tightly connected to me."
"A few times, I lost my lightning speed, but it was just a test. As long as I feel it with my heart, I can always find it."
"But now, the Speed Force has disappeared."
Luke nodded. It seemed that as long as the members of the Justice League separated from Batman, they would be able to regain the high ground.
He has already understood what happened. In terms of speed, Quicksilver is definitely not the Flash's opponent.
But this is a Marvel studio, and Barry Allen is fighting away from home. Without a steady stream of replenishment of the Speed Force, he will soon be drained and become an ordinary person.
Anyway, yesterday's competition spanned two sets.
In the end, Quicksilver won.
"You can understand this world as a mirror universe that is similar but completely different from each other."
Luke stood up, stretched his muscles as Superman, hooked Barry's shoulders, and chuckled: "Or, you can think of them as two comic companies operating the same business, and learn from each other for serialization, sales, and topicality... It’s also normal, so there are superheroes like you, like Superman, like Batman..."
"Have you seen that guy? His expression is serious, as if someone owes him money and hasn't paid it back. He is the chief agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., who is responsible for connecting with superhero groups. His status and usefulness are similar to those of Amanda Waller of the Sky Eye Society. almost."
"In addition, this world also has billionaire superheroes who can build high-tech armors, a certain Nordic god whose father is Odin, and..."
Luke revealed the identity and background of the Avengers members like a treasure trove.
"Did you find anything, Barry?"
The Flash was a little confused, almost dizzy from the various character relationships that came out of Luke's mouth.
Quickly sorting through the complicated information, he finally noticed something was wrong.
"I understand what you're trying to say."
Barry smiled bitterly, which was too similar.
This time, he broke out of the wall of origin and came to a strange time and space that was not a parallel universe.
"Okay, the background of the world is introduced."
Luke snapped his fingers and brought the offending topic back.
"Now it's my turn to ask, how did you find me? To be more precise, how did you get here?"
It's common knowledge that The Flash can reverse time and reboot the universe by running at full speed.
But when did he still have the ability to join the show
"photo."
Barry blinked and looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows at Peggy, who was wearing an apron and looking homely.
There was also Marlena who had just walked downstairs, and other women, with strange expressions on their faces.
"What picture?"
Luke asked subconsciously.
Barry pulled out an old, yellowed photo that was slightly blurry.
Above is Luke and Wonder Woman.
A picture of them together in the world of Flashpoint.
"I wouldn't have told Diana—if she hadn't asked."
Barry was very honest in his assurance.
Needless to say about the current situation, I didn’t expect Luke to be a romantic guy like Bruce.
In this regard, he is completely unlike Superman.
In most cases, Clark's real girlfriend will only be Lois Lane.
"Oh, you don't need to worry about it."
Luke didn't believe a single punctuation mark of the Flash's assurances.
He and Green Lantern Hal Jordan are famous gossip kings and spreaders of gossip in the Justice League.
"It seems that you have discovered that there is a guy who stole ten years of the universe and changed the origin of superheroes."
Luke didn't pay attention to this small problem. He took the photo and said with soft eyes.
Logically speaking, this should be kept in Diana's hands.
The Flash got it from nowhere, borrowed its special properties as an anchor, and ran to the Marvel set.
Barry Allen went through all the trouble, certainly not just to travel, or to appear on camera, and to eat an extra lunch.
"Yes, Wally told me that there is a terrible being trying to secretly manipulate the Justice League and manipulate everything!"
Bari's face was serious, no longer as relaxed as before.
"His name is Dr. Manhattan."
Luke bluntly said that he still remembered that the blue man owed him a debt that he had not settled yet.
"We can talk about the situation on the road. Now I need you to run, Barry."
run
The Flash closed his eyes, still not feeling the Speed Force.
Without this energy, how could he still travel across the set
"Just run and that's it!"
Luke said calmly.
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and pure white light enveloped him.
Sitting in the living room, holding black tea, Nick Fury stared with wide eyes as the two figures disappeared.
"If I hadn't been mentally prepared, I would have felt like I drank too much."
The black director sighed.
The mission was completed, and it was time for him to return to SHIELD.
He put down the cup in his hand and caught a glimpse of a cute cat lying on the sofa.
"Meow, meow... come here, little one, let me touch you."
Nick Fury usually has a serious face, but just like most humans on earth, he cannot resist the charm of cats and becomes a shit shoveler.
He couldn't help but want to go over and pet Superman's cat. (End of chapter)
