Become Aquaman from Black Robe

"…I ran the wrong way?"

Barry muttered.

He suddenly thought of a purple weirdo he met when he entered the time channel.

It was he who suddenly punched Barry, causing him to fall out of the time tunnel and come to this world.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Barry appears in this universe.

This is why he 'went the wrong way'.

Kevin's words were not difficult to understand. Barry soon understood the reason why he was here. He asked again:

"Okay, I roughly know why I am here, then...how should I go back?"

"This is what I'm going to tell you, Barry." Kevin's voice became softer, "If you want to return to your original universe, then you need to go back to the past again and recreate the past that has been changed by you. Change back.”

"...I'm sorry, please tell me again, what should I do?"

Barry asked again as if he didn't hear clearly.

Kevin sighed:

"No matter how many times I repeat it, nothing will change what I say. You can't change the past, Barry. You can't change the past that has become established. Once you try to change, the end result will be chaos in the entire multiverse. "

This cannot be blamed on Kevin, this is the setting given by DC, and since the movie universe exists, the rules of this world must follow the setting of the movie universe.

Barry's mother must die, just like Batman's parents must not survive.

This is something that a DC hero needs to bear. Even an outsider like Kevin can't change this.

Forcing changes will only lead to the collapse of the entire DC multiverse.

The worst outcome is what Dark Lightning, the Barry of this world, does in the movie.

Dark lightning traveled back in time countless times, causing countless multiverses to collide with each other and annihilate each other, and finally everything fell into nothingness.

If he doesn't want all the universes to be destroyed together, Barry must go back to the past and put things that have changed back on track.

This is his destiny.

After Kevin said this, the conversation with Barry was temporarily over.

Looking at Barry sitting there dumbly and not speaking, Bruce, who had been listening for a long time, asked:

"He came here after going back to the past and changing something. What about you? What are you here for?"

Bruce in this world obviously also knows the harm caused by changing time.

He now knew why Barry was here, but he still didn't know why Kevin was here.

According to Kevin's own words, he is also a time traveler.

Could he have also done something to disrupt the timeline? This is the question Bruce wants to confirm.

"I just want to get something."

Kevin stated his purpose.

Mera reacted immediately: "Trident..."

"Yes, it's the trident. Originally I just wanted to touch it, but I didn't expect it to haunt me now... Batman, don't look at me like that. I didn't lie this time, and I haven't changed. anything from the past.

"Barry and I are different, he is a time traveler, and I am...well, a traveler in the multiverse. I have not been to the past of your world. To me, all time is linear.

"The time node I went to is the time node where all universes are parallel. There is no such thing as past and future."

In other words, it is the key node where the plot happens, not before the plot starts to happen.

Kevin rarely explained a few more words.

Bruce didn't know whether he believed it or not. He nodded slightly and then changed the topic:

"I've finished talking about your questions, so now let's talk about the next thing, Zod... How are you going to deal with this guy?"

"Zod...is very bad..."

Barry finally came to his senses. He didn't dare to look at Kevin. His eyes fell on Bruce and said what Lizard did in another universe:

“He wants to transform the earth into Krypton, an environment suitable for his race to live in, and in doing so, many people will die...at least most ordinary humans on the earth will not be able to survive.

"The person who originally stopped him was Superman, but we don't have Superman in this world, so we thought of coming to you, Batman..."

"Yes, we do not have Superman."

Bruce interrupted Barry. When Barry was about to ask something, he turned his head in the direction of Kevin and said:

"But we have Poseidon here."

An existence in the name of God is better than 'Superman', right?

Bruce, who has never seen Superman, thinks so.

But Kevin had a different opinion.

"I may be able to stop Zod, but the existence of Superman is also necessary. Bruce, do you remember the information I came to you to find before?"

"...What you were looking for that day was Superman?"

"Yes, or it could be said that they are different individuals of Superman in this world. We can find the Superman in this world and then deal with Zod. One more person will increase the chance of victory."

Kevin still hasn't forgotten Supergirl.

Because Supergirl in "The Flash" is really cool. If Kevin didn't meet such a cool Supergirl, he would still feel somewhat regretful.

…

The matter of saving Supergirl was put on the agenda without any objection.

There is still a little more than a day left before the deadline given by Zod, and Batman and the others still have plenty of time.

Barry, who has the speed force in this world, went with the old bat to save Supergirl, and Kevin also asked Arthur to go with him.

Since Arthur lost to Kevin, he has been working hard as a guard.

He will obey most of Kevin's orders, and Arthur will naturally not refuse such an 'order' that is not too excessive.

After sending all the key personnel out, Kevin stayed in the Batcave to look through information on Batman's black technology equipment, planning to copy it and take it back to get a set for himself.

It has nothing to do with simply improving combat power, I just want to create a similar set for fun.

Although Kevin wanted to see Supergirl, he had no intention of rescuing Supergirl himself.

The main reason is laziness, and because this is something that will definitely happen in the original work, Kevin probably could only get one or two skill points in the past.

There is absolutely no need to make a trip.

Therefore, Kevin decided to stay and keep the family, and with Batman's consent, he obtained the right to study Bat-equipment.

Also staying behind were the king's assistant Mera, and Barry, who had lost his speed power in the original world.

After Kevin said that he wanted him to go back to the past and change the things he had changed, Barry had been in a daze.

When Kevin was free, while Batman and others hadn't returned yet, Barry took the initiative to find Kevin.

"Um...hi?"

Facing Kevin, who was sitting in front of the computer in the Batcave drinking coffee, Barry said hello at a loss.

He tried to put his hands into his pants pockets, but found that there were no pockets on the sides of his pants, so he had to put his hands into his butt pockets, which looked funny.

Kevin was holding the coffee, stirring the sugar cubes and milk inside with a spoon, and turned to look at him:

"Did I say you're a little girl who comes here to strike up random conversations? You have something to say."

"...Also...it's not a big deal. It's just what you just said. I have to change the past that I changed before I can return to my own universe...What I want to ask is, is there a way to...without having to do it again?" Without changing the past situation, return to my...that..."

"Barry Allen."

Before Barry could finish speaking, Kevin directly called the other party's name and interrupted him:

"You must be very smart, right? At least your diploma and IQ must be much better than me, a guy who only went to a third-rate university.

"Then you should be very clear that there is nothing so good in this world that allows you to successfully save the people you want to save without affecting the world.

"Yes, it seems that you just ran the wrong way this time and came to another universe. It seems that as long as you return to your original time branch, everything will be OK. But have you ever thought about it, if your time branch, Has it gotten worse?"

Kevin's expression was serious. Barry and him looked into each other's eyes, feeling as if they were completely seen through each other and there were no secrets.

Opening his mouth slightly, Barry suddenly guessed something:

"...you...do you know..."

"Yes I know."

Kevin still didn't wait for Barry to finish speaking before taking over.

"I know you are the Flash. I know you went back to the past to save your mother. I know more about what happened in your world. As you can see, I am a traveler. I have seen too much. Too many things.

"So I've also seen you try to change the past and the future has changed. Do you want to know what that looks like?"

"I……"

"You don't need to answer, let me tell you, it is a worse existence than this world. Diana is no longer Wonder Woman, she is the Queen of Paradise Island, and Arthur is the same as this world, Atlantis The king of Sri Lanka.

"A war broke out between them, and the war even spread to the human world. The seawater submerged the land and the continent sank into the water. All the heroes you knew and didn't know died in this disaster.

"This is the future, Barry. This is what happens in that tributary that represents the new future when you change the past."

Kevin told Barry the plot of the animation in concise words.

When he saw Barry's mouth wide open and his face full of shock, he knew that Barry must have listened to what he said.

Most superheroes have one thing in common, that is, they like to empathize with people in miserable situations, whether they are heroes or villains.

Barry has indeed never seen what Kevin said, but based on what Kevin said, Barry can probably imagine the tragedy of that world.

You don't even have to think too hard, just browse the Internet and see the video pictures of the tsunami that Atlantis produced this time, and Barry can guess a rough idea.

Therefore he could not accept this fact even more.

Barry's expression was painful. He turned around and lay on the railing and hammered the edge of the fence with his hands. He clenched his fists and was in an extreme struggle inside.

He finally saved his mother and reunited with his future mother, but now he has to go back to the past and erase the changed future.

This is equivalent to Barry killing his mother with his own hands.

Barry couldn't accept this thought, and his heart almost collapsed.

"I...have succeeded...I have really succeeded...but why..."

Kevin watched Barry's reaction in silence.

After a while, he suddenly said:

"Actually...it's not impossible to save your mother."

"!?"

After hearing these words, Barry raised his head instantly, and his dimmed eyes lit up again. He was a little unbelievable, but also asked Kevin expectantly:

"What to do?"

"I'll tell you the method later, but before that, you have to get your power back first. Without the Speed ​​Force, even if I tell you the method, you can't do what I say."

"Yes...yes, yes, get back your ability first..."

There is light in Barry's eyes, although it is difficult to regain his ability. After all, he can no longer perfectly recreate the original scene.

But at least there is a hope.

Kevin rubbed his chin and thought for a while. He estimated that it would be some time before Supergirl and the others came back, so he said to Barry:

"Anyway, let me take you to get your abilities back first, and at the same time prepare for the next battle."
