Chapter 71 Changes

Under the night, the man who stood up from the Batmobile was also at the place where he told Ke Wen and the others that using a gun was better than using a bat dart. The same bat suit, but the difference is that there are sharp shoulder armors on the shoulders, the bat logo on the chest is red, and the goggles of the mask are also red. It looks like a demon active in the dark.

This is also Batman, from the Flashpoint timeline where Cowen and they used to go, Thomas Wayne who became Batman in Crime Alley Tragedy, Flashpoint Batman. As Ke Wen who has been to the flashpoint timeline, Damian and the others, when they saw Martha Wayne, the clown, appearing in the main universe, they thought that Thomas Wayne, the Flashpoint Batman, might also appear in the main universe.

And when Ke Wen saw that these escaped criminals were shot and maimed, and a bat light was on, they probably guessed it. I just didn't expect Flashpoint Batman to make a grand debut for them.

"Yeah, it's much better than a bat dart, but I really didn't expect you to show up."

"It hasn't been too long. It's not long since I came to the universe you are in. It's only a short while, because of Martha."

Getting off the Batmobile, Flashpoint Batman also walked in front of Ke Wen and the others, and behind him, Martha Wayne, the Flashpoint clown, was also silent, as if giving up resistance. Looking at Damian standing next to Ke Wen, Jonathan Jr. was silent for a while, Flashpoint Batman also took off his mask, revealing himself as Thomas Wayne.

On the side, Dick, Jason, and Tim, the three adopted sons adopted by Batman and raised under the care of Alfred, looked at Thomas in this family portrait that only hung in the lobby of Wayne Manor. Wayne, although in the flashpoint timeline, Thomas Wayne is over fifty years old, but as a Batman, he is still at the peak of human combat power at this time, vicissitudes, but there are not many changes in his face.

To some extent, the Flashpoint Batman Thomas Wayne who appeared in front of Dick and them at this time was their grandpa. This was the first time they saw their grandpa and grandma under such circumstances, and it was a bit embarrassing.

"Grandpa," Damian who was next to Ke Wen actively called out this title to Thomas Wayne, and Little Jonathan on the side also called out.

Facing the two direct descendants and godsons of his son whom he had seen in the flashpoint timeline, Thomas Wayne at this time also cooperated with the kind face shown and touched Damian's head.

"You've grown up, Damian. So, where's Helena?"

"Well, she should be asleep now, but I think she will be very happy for you to come, oh yes, this guy is very honest, he didn't bully Helena."

"I know, because she is a girl from the Wayne family, so what are your plans now."

A word of praise, Thomas Wayne at this time is also very good at playing his character as Flashpoint Batman. As a Batman who came to the main universe from the flashpoint timeline, he did not directly overstep his authority, but handed over the initiative to Ke Wen. Here, only Ke Wen and Damian, Jonathan Jr. have been to the flashpoint timeline, and it is difficult for Dick and the others to make a decision in this regard.

"Let's go back to the Batcave first. I mean the Batcave with all kinds of high technology, not just a simple hospital bed with all kinds of homemade medical equipment."

The appearance of Flashpoint Batman was within Ke Wen's expectation, but at this time Batman disappeared, and it was impossible for Ke Wen to let Batman's father stroll outside alone, and there was a mother from the Flashpoint timeline, For now, the only way to make a decision is to go back to the Batcave and understand the ins and outs of the two of them coming to the main universe. By the way, Ke Wen also complained about how bad Flashpoint Batman's Batcave is.

Because in the flashpoint timeline, Gotham does not have a Wayne Enterprise. On the contrary, there is only one Wayne Casino covering Gotham and all over the world. This is also one of the chain reactions caused by the Flash crossing the past to save his mother. So Thomas Wayne's Batcave does not have all kinds of black technology like the Batcave of the main universe, it is just a simple habitat.

"Funny boy, but I'm not ready for Bruce..."

As the instigator of Batman's disappearance, Thomas at this time pretended not to know, shaping his father's personality there.

"You don't need to prepare, Batman is missing, Dick, tell Alfred."

After getting on the locomotive and giving an order, Ke Wen also left first. And Thomas, the Flash Batman, also looked at Dick, Jason and Tim. Although he knew that they were the adopted sons of his son, Thomas also showed a smile uglier than crying at this time, and said there: "So, you are Bruce's adopted son?"

"Yes, we did not expect to meet you in this way, sir."

"Me too, I didn't want to appear in front of you or Bruce in this way, because I should be a dead person, but this world will never work according to our ideas."

"Who said it wasn't..."

They agreed with what Thomas said, and after a brief exchange of greetings, the group also led the captured Martha towards the direction of the Batcave. As for these criminals who were mauled by Thomas, they were handed over to the Gotham police.

In the Batcave, the old butler Alfred had already prepared tea, but he was sitting there looking at the passage from time to time. Even though Thomas and Martha, who already knew the timeline of the flashpoint, were still alive, the old man felt a lot of emotion in being able to see their old friends again in this way. And in his heart, he has always felt guilty towards the Wayne couple. In his mind, he should raise Bruce and let him marry a wife and have children as a normal person, instead of fighting crime as a Batman.

This is what the Waynes and his wife hoped for, but in the end, he still failed the Waynes and his wife, and he didn't know what kind of face he should use to face his old friend. Especially knowing that in an alternate timeline, one became Batman and the other became the Joker. And Helena, the daughter of Batman and Catwoman, was also sitting on Alfred's lap at this time, comforting the old man there.

"Don't worry, grandfather will not blame you, Alfred, you did a good job, and father is not wrong either."

"Then who is wrong, Helena, why, why in another timeline, they are still haunted by the curse of Batman, the Joker."

"I don't know, but this curse can be broken, at least the current father is really trying to become a normal person."

"I hope so."

Just as Helena was comforting Alfred, the sound of the engine came, and soon, from the runway, two Batmobiles appeared, followed by Ke Wen's motorcycle. And Alfred also saw Thomas Wayne who took off his mask and Martha who was tied up from another chariot he didn't recognize. Looking at the vicissitudes of Thomas Wayne under the mask and Martha in clown makeup, Alfred also stood up, and his whole body began to tremble, looking at this old man who originally only existed in his memory.

"Is it you, Master Thomas, Mrs. Martha, really... is it really you!"

"Yes, it's me, Alfred, long time no see." Seeing Alfred looking at him, I have to say that even though he knew he was acting, Thomas Wayne was really attracted by Alfred. Fred's eyes were touched, and at this moment, he did have such a wavering thought to give up destroying everything about his son as Batman.

"Good evening, Alfred."

And in the back, Martha the clown, whose hands and feet were bound and temporarily unable to move, also greeted Alfred, an old friend. The familiar voice, face, and the memory rushing to his face made Alfred understand that the Wayne couple in front of him were the pair he was familiar with who should have died more than 30 years ago, but with this In this form, they met when fate played a joke on it.

The old man staggered and walked slowly in front of Thomas, with tears in his eyes. He was nearly seventy years old and walked in front of Thomas and Martha. Unable to control his emotions, he also said there: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I failed you, I'm sorry!"

For a while, only the cries and apologies of the old man remained in the Bat Cave, and Ke Wen and the others did not interrupt at this time, but left time and space for these three former friends. Facing Alfred's cries, even Martha, the clown, was silent and didn't say much.

In the middle of the night, this time-displaced gathering has come to an end. The sedated Martha Clown fell asleep. Damian, little Jonathan, and Helena are not in the Batcave, nor is the old housekeeper. Sleep in the room. In the Batcave, there are only Ke Wen, Dick, Jason, Tim and Thomas Wayne, the Batman from the flashpoint timeline.

"What happened, why did you and Martha come to our main universe, this normal timeline." In the Batcave, Ke Wen also asked his most curious question. As for Ke Wen's question, Thomas, who had already prepared, also gave an answer.

"I don't know, after you took Damian and the others and revived the timeline I was in, I also continued to be my Batman, and I was talking to Martha about you, saying When Bruce might be able to change because of you, Martha, who had been in a state of madness, woke up for a while and said Batman is a curse. After that, she stabbed me and left from the Batcave.

And in order to chase Martha, I also fell into the trap Martha arranged for me during the chase. When I woke up again, I came here, where Bruce was in the normal timeline, and my injuries were healed. , I am also in Crime Alley, without Martha, Gotham, I don't know anymore. So in order to find Martha, I went to Wayne Enterprises, got a car, and then noticed what happened at your place based on the tapped channel, and rushed over as soon as possible. As for how Martha came here, I have no idea. "

With nine truths and one false rhetoric, Thomas also finished his story of reaching the normal timeline of the main universe. After listening, Ke Wen also fell into deep thought. Because of the wrong information given by Thomas and the misleading of Batman Nightmare, Ke Wen would never have thought that Thomas and Martha in front of him were Batman Nightmare who came to the main universe. He just targeted Dr. Manhattan directly.

Because the entire flashpoint timeline was preserved after Dr. Manhattan’s actions, now both Thomas and Martha appeared in the normal timeline of the main universe. Except for Dr. Manhattan, Ke Wen couldn’t think of anyone else who would do this. Dick and the others didn’t feel anything wrong with Thomas’ words. The entire Bat Family, except Raven who is now Damian’s official girlfriend and future wife—Riwen Rachel is the daughter of the Demon God, and Tim’s girlfriend Wonder Girl With the blood of the old gods,

Except for Jonathan Jr., who is destined to become Batman's son-in-law, the other family members are ordinary people. They are not experts on these ghosts and time travel, and they don't think that Thomas, Batman's father, will harm his son. Like Ke Wen, they are more inclined to have unknown existences that brought Thomas and Martha to this normal timeline, with some purpose they don't know.

"So, can you guys tell me what happened to Bruce?"

"He disappeared and was taken away by an unknown existence. The purpose is unknown, but it is very likely that this unknown existence is the culprit that brought you to this normal timeline." Just as Dick and they planned to explain the situation At the time, Ke Wen said it first, because he suddenly discovered that the Nightmare Batman who has not shown up until now may also be the black hand that caused the Waynes to come to the normal timeline.

After all, in the absence of Batman as a portal, Nightmare Batman has already appeared in the main universe. In this case, there is a reason for the Waynes to appear. What could be better than killing Batman again in front of Batman? His own parents, letting him completely collapse would stimulate Batman's motivation even more? I'm afraid it's gone, no matter what time it is, parents will always be the most irritating point of Batman's anger.

Batman is also aware of the story in the Flashpoint timeline, the Flash told Batman, and he told Batman. If it wasn't for Batman to restrain himself, with his abilities and resources, it would not be difficult to go to the flashpoint timeline, then conversely, if Batman Nightmare also knows the flashpoint timeline, and uses this to threaten Batman, let him If you make a mistake, there is a basis for Batman to be the first to go offline and disappear during the Apocalypse attack in front of the Capitol.

Thinking of this, Ke Wen also looked at Thomas, who was still locked up, and Martha, who had fallen asleep, the two of them were the victims, the victims used to defeat the mind of Batman in the main universe.

"Why, what did you think of?" Noticing that Ke Wen's expression was wrong, Dick also asked immediately.

"Many, there are guys who we don't know are doing trouble, Thomas, Martha and the others are created by this guy to deal with Batman, some guys we don't know, hiding in darker places..."

"It's the same as not saying what you said," Jason also complained about Ke Wen's statement.

"Because I don't know how to express all this, but the appearance of Thomas and Martha is definitely not accidental."

"Whatever, so now Bruce is missing, and can we go back, back to our timeline."

Speaking of this, Thomas also looked at Ke Wen. This is also one of his plans. He has to ensure whether Ke Wen has the ability to send them back to the flashpoint timeline, so as to facilitate the development of his next plan. Looking at Thomas, Ke Wen also looked at his palm. Yes, he still has the ability of a dimension wall. Although he can't travel in any universe with a Kamen Rider for the time being, in the DC Bright Multiverse, It shouldn't be a big problem.

But after thinking about it, Ke Wen also shook his head, "I'm afraid not. They dare to let you come, and they are absolutely not afraid of you going back. It's better to be like this now. At least, we can see the safety of both of you."

"Really, then what kind of identity should I use? You know, although this is not the timeline we are in, there are quite a few people who know Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne. I look like this, it will scare me." It hurt a lot of people."

"Yes, so you need to maintain your current identity, be a Gotham Batman, and also, you can't use guns, which doesn't fit the character of Gotham Batman."

"Is it Bruce's rule? Well, I will try my best to abide by it. Besides, I have to watch Martha."

Turning his head, Thomas also looked at the sleeping Martha Clown, speechless for a while. After tentatively confirming the arrangements for Thomas and Martha, Ke Wen also knew that he had nothing to do here. Regardless of whether it was Dr. Manhattan or Nightmare Batman who brought the Waynes to this normal timeline, at least they had achieved their goal. When they did it again, there was still a period of time for him to deal with other things.

Just when Ke Wen was about to leave, Dick also chased after him and stopped Ke Wen.

"Why did you lie just now?"

"Lying? No, I can indeed send them back to the original timeline, but it's not safe, and we will fall into a passive position again."

"Yeah, but when you do that, if there's someone behind the scenes to get them here, he's bound to show up when you send them back, because there's no way he's going to let you bring him here Send it back, but you didn't do it, are you suspicious of them?"

Knowing about Ke Wen also made Dick notice something wrong in Ke Wen's words just now. When Jason and Tim were communicating with Thomas, Dick took the time to rush out and asked Ke Wen outside Wayne Manor.

"I don't doubt them, I just think there are some things I didn't understand, so I didn't finish. God knows if it was influenced by you, which made me a little suspicious now. Don't talk about it. You take care of them. Let me know as soon as possible, and be careful of Martha, after all, she is still a clown, don't let her identity affect your judgment."

Sighing, Ke Wen also said there, the words he concealed just now were also because he had experienced a lot of things over the years, and there was no reason for an intuition. No matter how good I am, there are so many big events and battles, and I still have an intuition that I can't speak. Although I don't know if this intuition is accurate, it is better than nothing. After all, the dimensional wall opened, and Ke Wen also hid himself in the dimensional wall, disappearing in front of Dick.

Dick also looked back at Wayne Manor, and recalled what Ke Wen said just now in his mind. Ke Wen said that it was his intuition. As the eldest son of Batman, he must find out the source of this intuition, and find out from the Wayne couple. rise.

In the next half month, there was not much movement in Gotham. Thomas Wayne, the Flashpoint Batman, also changed into his son's uniform, and from time to time he followed his grandsons to solve some things in Gotham , At the same time, he is also understanding that in the timeline in which his son survived, the whole world is different from the world of Flashpoint that he is familiar with, or he just took care of Martha in the Batcave and did not let her make trouble again.

Apart from the fact that Batman and the members of the Justice League are still out of contact, nothing major happened. And the battle for the new generation of supermen consisting of Mechanical Superman, Connor, and Kong Kenan is also in full swing. For the time being, as a mechanical superman who went ashore for whitewashing, he can't do much at all, because the label on him is a biological living weapon for Apocalypse to invade the earth.

Even if the identity is a person from Earth, Apocalypse has done too many things over the years. It is not a matter of time for the people to have trust in an earth person transformed from an alien. The same is true for the military. Although it helped the mechanical superman to clean up his crimes, he also coveted the Apocalypse technology on the mechanical superman, and did not maintain 100% trust in him. At best, he was treated as a tool man.

Whether to raise dogs or raise wolves, the military is not without brains, and Leticia's resource offensive is just a matter of convenience. Although the rules of whitewashing themselves and exposing themselves to the public prevent Ke Wen and the others from taking action against Mechanical Superman and Leticia, protecting themselves, but also restricting them. Once he makes troubles, he will be on the ground, and there is no chance to stand up. It can be said that he has been a spectator since the month when Mechanical Superman was laundered.

Watching Connor and Kong Kenan, two guys with superhuman powers, appearing on the international stage, performing in turn, gaining the hearts of the international public opinion, but he can only watch. Order to do some dirty work, tiring work.

Everything seemed to be in harmony, as if there had never been a Cyborg crisis. But Ke Wen and the others have been keeping vigilant, and Lex, appointed by Clark, has been monitoring the mechanical superman. As long as the mechanical superman has the slightest fluctuation in contact with Apocalypse, Ke Wen and the others will take down the mechanical superman as soon as possible. Only one head remained.

And in such a weird and peaceful atmosphere, a major event, an event that was enough to turn the entire international public opinion, and a major event that caused a global sensation also happened one month after Clark became president.

The free trade island jointly developed by China and the United States together with the submarine human subspecies civilization Atlantis will also be officially opened in the high seas of the Pacific Ocean on the 15th of next month, as a fusion of land and sea civilizations. first step!

When Clark announced the news on TV, Ke Wen also keenly felt that this was probably the time for the mechanical superman to do it.

In fact, when the mechanical superman in the Lex family manor passed the news to Darkseid far away on Apocalypse, the dark monarch smiled with his hands behind his back.

"Next, it's your stage, Hank Henshaw."

"Yes, everything is for Darkseid."

The mechanical superman in the holographic image knelt on the ground, and shouted slogans at Darkseid, and the crimson electronic cigarette was also flickering with flickering light.
