Chapter 193: As Batman, I Am on Good Terms with the Villains

You know.

The darkest times will create the most extraordinary achievements. Just as gold often glitters in the quicksand at the bottom of the river, just as the hottest pain creates the coldest Batman, just as...

The fastest man in the world spent his life slowly saying goodbye to his mother.

When we look back on history, we can explain it like this:

This is the moment when everything changes, this is the moment when all things sprout. This is the beginning of light, and the darkest moment, this is a glorious golden age, this is a glorious era of heroes, and it is also an unreachable... past.

We were born in the shadow of this great era.

Through them... his life, achievements, and extraordinary talents, I found meaning and I found faith.

My name is Albert Swan. My current alias is Harrison Wells.

I was born in the 25th century, an era that should be called "the future" compared to now.

At that time, superheroes had become history. They were just objects for scientists to study, or statues placed in museums.

My father was a scumbag. When I was very young, he killed my mother in front of me. I developed a primitive hatred, hating the world and everyone, but this lonely personality helped me avoid wasting my energy on boring socializing and vulgar mutual flattery.

I was extremely obsessed with the 21st century superhero Flash. In order to unlock the source of his ability and the mystery of the speed force, I worked day and night to study.

My life was smooth sailing, and all those who hindered me suddenly died in accidents for unknown reasons. When I was very young, I was given the title of "Professor Speed" for my in-depth research on the history of the Flash and the speed force.

But even if I became an authority on the study of the speed force, I still couldn't touch the essence of the speed force. This fact made me extremely painful.

But a time capsule from the 20th century changed everything. It crashed in Midtown in the 25th century, containing a uniform of the Flash.

I tried to copy and enhance the remaining speed energy on the uniform, and I succeeded. I finally embraced the speed force.

After gaining power, I found that my era was too peaceful and there was no need for superheroes at all.

So I built a cosmic treadmill, and with this time travel machine, I traveled back to the Flash's era, intending to fight alongside him...

Well, after going through a lot of things, I finally realized that I didn't want to fight alongside the Flash at all.

I wanted to be him, replace him.

I wanted to be Barry Allen!

I failed.

I was defeated by the Flash, and I was shocked to find that I would become the opposite of the Flash, the Reverse Flash I had seen countless times in the museum.

I realized why all the competitors on my life path suddenly died in accidents, and why my life was so smooth.

Because I killed them.

I mean, I got the speed force, traveled through time and space to kill those who might hinder me, and I directly erased their existence from the timeline...

From the beginning, I was the Reverse Flash, and this was a fate I could not refuse.

The ability to travel through time allowed me to see the truth, I was destined to become the Flash's biggest enemy, and I could never become the Flash.

So I became the opposite of everything the Flash wanted to save, the people the Flash loved, those would be what I would take away from him.

I would be better than the Flash, I would be the only person in the world that the Flash could not stop.

Therefore, I traveled back in time again and killed the mother of the Flash Barry Allen - just as the history shown in the museum.

I wanted to make the Flash feel pain.

But unfortunately, my imperfect connection with the Speed ​​Force trapped me in 2000.

I couldn't go back, I couldn't go back to the time when I fought the Flash, nor could I go back to the time when I was born. I was trapped in this primitive society, and my Speed ​​Force was fading.

I gradually realized that if I wanted to have enough speed, enough speed to let me go back to my time, I had to take the initiative to create the Flash!

At that moment, I finally realized why I came here, and I was once again played by the Speed ​​Force.

This may be the history of the Reverse Flash, and it is also my destiny.

So, I killed Harrison Wells and disguised myself as him.

I created the accident that turned him into the Flash. I personally trained the Flash and turned him into one of the greatest heroes in the world.

When he has enough speed to send me back to the future, I can go home and continue my history and my life.

This should be the case, but...

The Reverse Flash with the face of Dr. Wells looked at Bruce Wayne who appeared here in silence.

Batman... Why did he appear in the Star Lab?

What happened? Is there such a part in history?

Did I cause a butterfly effect?

Reverse Flash remained calm. While thinking, he started his wheelchair and slowly drove into the hall of Star Lab.

"Nice to meet you, Dr. Wilson... I mean, professor."

Chen Tao thought about the title of Dr. Speed ​​in his heart, and also looked at Reverse Flash in front of him.

The two of them held hands together and did not separate for a long time, like close friends who had met after a long separation.

Chen Tao looked down at Reverse Flash from a high position, while the old enemy of the Flash looked at him with ease and easily caught his eyes.

Some of the tense atmosphere was gradually noticed by other people in the laboratory, and Cisco and Katherine looked at each other.

And Barry Allen, the Flash, stood stupidly by the side, watching his most beloved mentor Professor Harrison Wells and one of the investors of their laboratory, Mr. Bruce Wayne, staring at each other like two fighting cocks, with a big question mark on his head.

"What happened?"

He had a clear and stupid expression, and then Cisco's eyes stopped him from saying the next word.

A banner written temporarily at the back, "Welcome Mr. Bruce Wayne to visit", fell to the ground with a thud.

Reverse Flash saw Bruce Wayne finally look away from him.

He took out a photo from his body and showed it to everyone present.

It was a report about the Flash.

"Wow, it's the Flash, I like him very much." Cisco said a little stutteringly.

"Yes, yes." Catherine said, forcing a smile: "Does Mr. Wayne like the Flash too?"

"Of course, he's a super celebrity, isn't he?" Catherine felt that Mr. Wayne was teasing in terms of language, but in terms of tone, the rich man was as cold as if he had just lost his parents.

He saw the other party turn his head to look at Barry Allen: "Wow, super kid."

Barry Allen, the Flash in his regular clothes, was about to speak when he saw Cisco blinking at him desperately.

Even without the speed force, he turned his eyelids to leave a residual image.

Barry knew at a glance that he must have a lot to say.

So he quickly started to talk nonsense:

"Ah, yes, I have many superpowers, such as playing the viola web design..."

As Barry was talking, he saw Mr. Bruce Wayne walking closer and closer to him, and Cisco behind him had a completely horrified expression as if he saw a dinosaur eating a chicken.

"Uh... I also know sign language, gorilla sign language..." Barry watched him get close to his face, and he couldn't say anything in the end, and said embarrassedly: "Whatever, it's all right."

Reverse Flash sat in a wheelchair, quietly watching the farce in front of him.

Everything is under control. Maybe Batman has already mastered the true identity of the Flash, which is not a problem. The establishment of the Justice League was originally something that would happen on the timeline, and the intersection of Batman and the Flash is also a very normal thing.

As long as it doesn't delay his return home, and the career of the Justice League will make the Flash more mature, stronger, and provide him with a faster speed to return home.

This is not a bad thing.

"Silica gel quartz sand material."

He saw Batman easily find the Flash suit that Cisco and his team had hidden before. Reverse Flash could almost see Cisco's face turn pale.

He covered his head in despair and lowered his head.

"This material is wear-resistant and heat-resistant."

Cisco made that expression, and Barry didn't know what to do next, so he could only continue to try to deny:

"Ah, yes, I'm a figure skater, but I like to make my uniform similar to the Flash, he is my idol."

"This is used on the space shuttle to avoid friction and fire when re-entering the atmosphere."

"...The competition in figure skating is sometimes really fierce."

Barry closed his eyes in despair just after he finished saying this, even he knew that such a lie was really clumsy.

The important thing is that Mr. Bruce Wayne came too fast. He had just given a message 4 minutes ago saying that he would arrive in 6 minutes, and he arrived in 5 minutes. Unfortunately, Barry was 3 minutes late. When he stepped into the door of the Star Lab, Mr. Bruce Wayne was already standing in the middle of the lab.

He couldn't hide his criminal tools in front of Mr. Wayne.

"Well," Barry said in despair, "I am..."

History began to move forward here.

Reverse Flash sat next to him, observing quietly, while observing, calculating the impact and pros and cons of this matter on him.

Barry Allen was soon exposed by Batman, and then he joined the Justice League formed by the other party...

"... I am..."

"... So that's it, you are really an excellent figure skater!"

?

Cisco looked up, wondering if he had heard it wrong. Katherine opened her mouth slightly, then immediately realized that this behavior was inappropriate, so she quickly closed it again, and Barry almost couldn't catch his breath.

Reverse Flash's thoughts also stopped abruptly.

"Hahahahaha!"

The people in Star Labs saw their investor, Mr. Bruce Wayne, first laughed at the sky like a fool for a while, then took out a check from his pocket, wrote a number on it, and forced it directly into Barry Allen's hand.

"It's good to have a hobby, young man. This money is my personal sponsorship for your figure skating competition. With this money, you have to help me get two Olympic trophies back."

How unlucky it is for an Olympic champion to run into Barry. Cisco complained in his heart.

"Ah, thank you, thank you." Barry said sullenly: But I can't accept your money, because...

But his words stopped suddenly when he saw the number on the check.

Everyone in the Star Lab looked at each other, including Reverse Flash, and no one could figure out what was going on.

Cisco was angry in his heart.

After today, he would build a secret display cabinet for Barry, and never put his uniform outside again.

"Hahahahaha..." After giving the things to Barry, Mr. Wayne laughed again, looking not very smart. For a while, only his laughter was left at the scene.

"It's nothing! It's just a little money."

Reverse Flash was still silently thinking about why Batman didn't intend to expose the identity of the Flash now, but suddenly found that Wayne staggered to his wheelchair, then half squatted down, and hugged his shoulders in a familiar way.

"Hey brother, I'm giving your student face like this completely for your sake!"

Who is your brother?

"Well, Mr. Wayne, you..."

"Our relationship is so solid." Before he finished speaking, he heard Bruce Wayne slap the wall next to him, making a crisp bang.

Reverse Flash frowned. The wall was hollow, and his secrets were hidden inside. He couldn't stand the other party's snap. He was a little unsure whether the other party's snap was a coincidence or something. Anyway, he felt that Batman's mental state was not right. He was eager to send him away.

"Mr. Wayne, are you feeling unwell?"

Reverse Flash turned his wheelchair and blocked the wall with his body.

"Don't change the subject!"

But Mr. Wayne turned a deaf ear to what he said.

He still put his arm on the shoulder of Reverse Flash, who pretended to be in a wheelchair, and squatted on the ground for this.

Catherine gave Cisco a look, which meant, is Bruce Wayne mentally ill?

"My good brother, I came to you for your sake. Shouldn't you greet me with a smile... Don't you think so, good brother?"

"Good brother, good brother, my good brother——"

"S.W., Bo, Shi?"

"You..."

Reverse Flash, who was disguised as Professor Wells, couldn't help but shudder. For a moment, Reverse Flash almost instinctively wanted to stab the opponent's heart with his hand knife, but killing Batman would undoubtedly cause a tsunami-like butterfly effect, and he gave up this idea in less than half a second.

He suppressed his shock and anger in his heart and tried to keep his voice as steady as possible: "You are wrong, Mr. Wayne, my name is Harrison Wells."

"I know Swan, I understand Swan."

"Uh, Mr. Bruce, you called Dr. Wells's name wrong..."

"What? I didn't call it wrong!"

Reverse Flash resisted the urge to jump up from the wheelchair.

His heart was full of mysteries.

How could Batman know him? How could he call his name accurately? Is the other party also a time traveler?

But Batman didn't continue to speak.

Reverse Flash could clearly see that the idiotic expression on the other party's face returned to a calm state in an instant.

His heart was cold.

This was the expression Batman would have originally.

His originally frivolous voice suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Reverse Flash knew that the other party had already released the information he wanted to release to him, and now there was no need to pretend. He just watched Batman turn around abruptly and walk towards the door to leave, ignoring the questions of several other people in the laboratory.

He clenched his fist.

He must find Batman as Reverse Flash immediately. The other party has his information and Flash's information, and he has no idea how much he knows.

They need to talk.
