American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

56. The Beginning of War.

"Bruce, I don't expect you to trust me deeply, nor do I need you to believe in me. But at least we currently have a common enemy, and I will leave this universe after dealing with these matters. So, you don't need to focus too much on me and Pietro."

Alex's tone was very calm. Deciding to leave this universe was something Alex had already planned. Although this universe might break free from its original shackles after dealing with General Zod and become a free timeline, developing smoothly, this was precisely why it was very dangerous for Alex.

It was because this universe was 'free' that anything could happen in the future. Even Alex himself couldn't guarantee his safety, let alone live peacefully in this universe. Furthermore, this universe was artificially created due to the Flash, making its safety significantly lower. Another apocalyptic disaster might emerge in just a few years.

In fact, after young Barry Allen recharged the timepad, Alex could have left anytime. He stayed only to lend a helping hand. After all, young Flash recharged his power, and Batman contributed his equipment. Listening to Alex's words, old Bruce Wayne remained very calm, raising only one question.

"I'm just curious, Alex, are you really not from some organization dedicated to protecting the multiverse?"

"No," Alex said word by word. "You misunderstood. As I said, I'm just a scavenger of the multiverse."

"Then there's nothing to worry about," old Bruce Wayne smiled, seemingly satisfied with the answer.

He then stood up, picked up the bag with the stone on the table, and walked towards the laboratory in the Batcave. After taking a few steps, he turned his head and saw Alex not moving. He continued, "Follow me. I need more information about the Kryptonians and the specifics of our battle plan."

"What about us?" Seeing Alex follow Bruce, young Barry Allen couldn't help but ask. After the earlier scene, he had a slight fear of Kara.

"You stay here and take care of Barry Allen and Kara. Pietro, go get some food."

After Alex finished speaking, he went into the laboratory with Batman. Meanwhile, on the other side, Barry Allen woke up from his coma the next morning.

To everyone's relief, he had indeed regained his speed force. Not only that, but he also seemed to use the power of the speed force more fluently. The feeling of having his power back gave him some comfort after being anxious for so long. However, there was a small incident. After he woke up, Kara approached him and started discussing the creation of this parallel universe and the mistakes Barry Allen had made.

Although Barry Allen seemed a bit dazed, he had been a superhero for a long time. Besides, he often acted with Batman and had grown a lot. So, he immediately realized that Kara was here to hold him accountable.

Knowing how terrifying Kryptonians could be, Barry naturally didn't try to provoke Kara. He spoke cautiously, afraid of making the Kryptonian girl in front of him angry.

Soon, under Barry's guidance, the conversation shifted from Kara looking for trouble to Barry telling Kara about Superman in another world. Of course, he hid the part about Superman perishing with Doomsday.

This tactic worked well on Kara. Hearing that her cousin was living well in another parallel universe and even found a sister-in-law made Kara feel an indescribable sense of relief.

"Can you take me to see him?" Kara asked.

This question made Barry Allen's expression twist. "Kara, casually crossing timelines is extremely dangerous. I've deeply understood my mistake. So, I think you wouldn't want to make the same mistake, right?"

"Can't we just see from a distance?"

"I don't think so. I can cross timelines because of the speed force, but I'm far from being able to take someone else through time, let alone take you from this future to another future. It's simply impossible," Barry Allen said, spreading his hands.

"Then how did Alex do it?" Kara glanced at Pietro playing with his phone and continued, "He and Alex can travel through different timelines and parallel universes freely."

"They're exceptions. Honestly, I want to know their backgrounds and how they travel through parallel universes without damaging those timelines even more than you do."

Barry Allen rubbed his temples and then leaned closer to Kara, whispering.

"You know, Alex once said he used specialized equipment to make 'crossing' reasonable. So, I suspect they might be time-space police, managing people like me who disrupt timelines."

Kara just rolled her eyes at Barry Allen's confident guess. Although she was young at heart, she wasn't stupid. If Alex were a 'time-space police,' he would have acted when Barry Allen changed history, not wait until now. However, Kara did get some ideas about the specialized equipment Barry mentioned. She quickly thought of the strange device Alex had.

Could it make crossing reasonable?

Seeing Kara deep in thought, Barry Allen breathed a slight sigh of relief. Serving this 'big sister' since waking up had been mentally and physically exhausting. Taking advantage of Kara's distraction, he quietly moved to the table and started devouring the food Pietro brought back. He was starving, especially after regaining his speedster abilities.

At this moment, a breaking news report interrupted on the wall-mounted TV opposite the dining table. It was footage of a distant war scene. Although not very clear, one could vaguely see military planes and tanks constantly exploding.

At the bottom of the news footage, a headline read: "Aliens Attack!!!"
