[Justice League] Earth 52

"Barry? Barry!" A violent shaking pulled Barry out of the flashback memory. He raised his head and looked at Letty standing in front of him and looking down at him with a worried expression. In an instant, she and the flashback memory The silhouettes of doctors in white coats overlapped.

Barry waved his hand and easily broke free from the other party, motioning for himself to come back to his senses.

"Are you dizzy? Do you feel sick?" The other party still asked reluctantly.

"...I'm fine." Barry shook his head and lied. He knew what it was just now. If this was a timeline change, then what he was going through now was the process of trying to correct his memory in different universes.

The other put his hand on Barry's.

At this time, Barry realized that he was not completely free from the side effects of the flashback, and his hands were still trembling unconsciously.And the temperature from the other hand covering his hand reached directly to the bottom of his heart, producing a very miraculous comforting effect.He felt his trembling slowly stop and begin to calm down.

While Barry was grateful for the effect of such comfort, he spurned his reliance on the false comfort brought by this memory that did not belong to him.

After he got better, he pulled his hand out half unwillingly, "I'm better."

"Barry, you need to go to the hospital." The other party said so in a patient tone, and didn't mind the slightly hurtful gesture he made quietly.

"Barry?" At this time, Nora, who sensed that the atmosphere here was not right, sat at the table and looked over. Although she didn't come over, her worried expression completely explained everything.

Barry knew he shouldn't be here, but he didn't want to ruin his mother's birthday dinner, so he stood up and smiled at Nora, "It's nothing, but I'm hungry, can we start eating?" I'm a forensic doctor myself, remember? I know my situation." The last words were addressed to Letty, and Nora was already a little aware of his strange behavior towards Letty, and he didn't want to cause trouble, at least not today. time for trouble.So he smiled perfunctorily in Letty's direction.

"You are not a forensic doctor, you are a CSI." Behind him, Letty corrected this sentence, but did not say anything more, but sighed and complied with his wishes.

As easy to talk as those memories he just flashed back.

A birthday dinner with his mother 20 years later is something Barry never dreamed he could have, so he jumps at the opportunity and carefully maintains his relationship with his so-called fiancée.

"You feel very wrong today, the police station is not going well?" When the dinner was over, Nora invited Letty to stay at home for the night as usual. When Nora left, Letty watched the still restless Barry wash up. put the bowl in the cupboard, and asked with some doubts.

"..." Barry didn't answer the question, his attention was all on the TV broadcast about the erosion of the land caused by the war between Atlantis and Amazon.

Barry got some information about this world in the brief flashback just now, and he is obviously more concerned about the change of this matter than he has an extra fiancée.

Until he heard Letty's question again.

"..." Barry still didn't answer right away, knowing that the other party was holding his hand behind him, Barry quickly pulled his hand away, and then turned around to look at the other party's worried purple eyes.

Not sure if it was because of those flashbacks or just because the other person's eyes were so irresistible, Barry sighed, turned his eyes away and said, "I'm not your fiance?"

"Barry, what are you talking about?"

Barry's wandering eyes fixed on a stain on the opposite wall, and he thought for a while to correct him, "I am Barry Allen, but I am not the Barry of this world...or I am not the Barry in your memory...I am ..." Barry was a little anxious after saying this, because he couldn't tell the current situation, he didn't know what happened, was it a parallel universe, or was the timeline modified?

"...God, Barry, you hit hard." The other person put his hand on his forehead and said worriedly, but he avoided it, "Listen, I know this is unbelievable, but it's like this I just fell down the steps, I didn't hit my head, I was sane and knew who I was, this wasn't my world. Nothing was right here, I was the Flash in my world and I was with the Justice League Everyone else works together, but there's not even a Justice League here, and Diana and Arthur are going to destroy the world, it's not them at all." He said this, not realizing that he was saying a lot of inexplicable words, which were actually vague. The thought of it together made him feel a strong sense of unease, and then turned his attention to the TV, where the commentary that was being broadcast was about Batman, the Phantom of Gotham.

He had that in his memory too, and thankfully some things remained the same.

"I'm sorry, but I'm leaving. I need to find Batman. Only he can help me." Barry shook his head, walked around Letty, and walked towards the door.

"..." But the other party didn't stop him, just watched him pick up his coat, and then walked towards the door. After a long silence, he gently reminded him, "You don't drive."

"..." Barry paused.

"And it's a long way from Gotham."

It never occurred to Barry that he would need a car, given that he was someone who could circle the globe in seconds.But now this cruel fact is in front of him, he sighed and turned his head, "Can you lend me your car?"

"...You know I don't really believe your nonsense?" Letty replied, tilting her head.

"..." Barry hesitated for a moment, and then decided to ask his mother to borrow a car.

But he didn't expect the other party's next sentence to fulfill him, "But I can take you there."

The road to Gotham was quiet, and Barry wasn't in the mood to talk, but fortunately the other party wasn't in the mood either, so he sat in the co-pilot and began to think about what happened.

He didn't know what to do with himself.To be honest, he didn't hate the strange world he came into.

Because his mother is still alive, and his father didn't spend the rest of his life behind bars because of his mother's death, as far as his current family is concerned, it's perfect.And as far as his brief contact with Letty and those fragmented memories are concerned, he doesn't hate this girl, and even likes her a little bit, even to the point where he has no objection to trying if he wants to develop something with this girl in the future.

In this way, Barry has no objection to paying the price of the disappearance of the speed force in exchange for such a life.

However, for this world, it is too cruel.

Diana and Arthur turned against each other, the war would destroy the whole world, and there is no Justice League in this world, the whole world is in a precarious state, he needs to know what happened, that's why when he knows Gotham still has Batman, He wanted to go to Bruce right away.

If there was one person in the world who could help him figure it out, it had to be Bruce.

Barry looked at the scenery on the highway outside the window, thinking about it for a while, the light from the street lights outside the car on the window just reflected Letty in the driver's seat beside him.

Barry was a little anxious looking at this reflection, he touched his hand unconsciously, and then touched the engagement ring at the root of his middle finger.

Suddenly he felt that the scenery and atmosphere along the road seemed familiar, and then he realized that this had also appeared in the flashback picture.

******

It was a little rainy that day, and the sky was overcast with patters, which made people feel uncomfortable.

It was a rare day for Barry to leave work at a normal time, because he promised his mother to have dinner tonight.Just when they finished their dinner and were going to watch TV together to chat about the current situation, the doorbell rang.

Barry will always remember how Letty stood in front of the door that day. She didn't open an umbrella, and a strand of her hair wet from the rain stuck to her forehead. She folded her arms and bit her pale lips. Ringing the doorbell required determination, or simply because it was cold.

What disturbed him the most was Letty's expression of being at a loss.

Barry has never seen Letty like this. As a doctor, he has seen a lot of situations, and he can always keep Letty calm and comfort others anytime and anywhere.

Barry asked suspiciously, "What happened, Letty?"

"I..." Letty bit her lip, paused, but didn't finish her sentence.

"Come in?" Barry was a little worried when he saw Letty's thin clothes, so he let the door open and motioned for her to come in.

However, the other party shook his head, rejected him, and tried to open his mouth again.

This time the other party didn't even say a word, but clasped his arms tightly, bent slightly, as if he had endured great pain, but stretched out a hand when Barry stepped forward to help, making Barry in a dilemma.

"I, something happened to my brother... I, I don't think I can handle it myself, can you..." Letty didn't finish the sentence, but Barry felt that he had fully understood.

In this regard, he has no reason to refuse.

So, they drove overnight to Gotham City.

Letty's condition is obviously very bad. If she is allowed to drive, the consequences will be unimaginable.So Barry was the one in charge of driving. He usually didn't drive at work, so he borrowed this car from Nora. He drove towards the highway, looked at the endless road in front of him, and glanced at the girl in the passenger seat beside him from time to time.

And Letty just huddled in the passenger seat, huddled in the overcoat Barry borrowed from his mother, still shaking.

It was probably too quiet along the way, and Letty, who finally regained her composure, began to talk about things intermittently, without any logic, and most of them were rambling memories. .

Barry sifted out the main content from the complicated information.

Letty's parents died early, and her younger brother was her only family member. When he grew up, he chose to join the army.

Ironically, Congjun's younger brother didn't die in battle against the Amazons or Atlantis, but in a car accident in Gotham when the Joker attacked the city again.
