The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

“Wake…”

“Wake up… Dick…”

“Wake up! Dick!”

“Huff!” Dick Grayson woke up with a start, subconsciously trying to perform a carp jump to stand up, followed by a backflip to create distance, but the pain in his thigh prevented him from even completing the first movement.

“Ugh!” Dick bit down, suppressing the painful groan in his throat, but thanks to this pain, Dick quickly regained consciousness and was able to see his surroundings.

Wally and Megan were crouching beside him, looking at him with concern, while Aqualad Jackson stood in front of Speedy Roy, trying to wake him up.

“Are you okay, Dick?” Megan placed her hand on Dick. “We found you with a leg injury after we woke up. After removing the dart, I used the medical kit in the safe room to bandage you. How are you feeling now?”

“I’m okay.” Dick struggled to stand up with Wally’s help. Although he was awake, he was still a bit dizzy, probably due to the anesthetic, and it took him a while to recover.

“How long were we unconscious? Did anything happen after you woke up?”

“We were unconscious for about an hour.” Wally looked at the electronic watch beside him. “We entered the safe room around ten o'clock, and the time now is eleven thirty.”

“I was the first to wake up, and then I remembered Megan saying she had the ability to wake up unconscious people, so I woke her up first. Then she woke up Jackson and you, but because you were injured, we decided to bandage you first, and then have Jackson wake up Roy.”

“Splash!”

A sound of water came, and everyone turned to look. They found Roy had already stood up from the bed, and water was dripping from him. Looking at Jackson, who was holding a water container beside him, it was not difficult to guess how he woke Roy up.

“Sorry.” Jackson said with a hint of apology. “The situation is not very clear, I can only wake you up in this way.”

Roy wiped the water off his face and said, “So can someone tell me what happened? I’ll consider whether to return the favor after knowing the whole story.”

“Actually, we are not very clear either.” Megan told Roy all the information she knew.

“I see.” Roy nodded, then put his hand on Jackson. “You did the right thing. We really don’t have time to waste now.”

“Thank you for your understanding.” Jackson nodded with a smile. Megan and Wally also breathed a sigh of relief. They both changed their opinion of Roy. They originally thought he was just a grumpy old brother, but they didn’t expect him to be so reasonable.

“So what are we going to do next?” Wally asked. “Wait for the Justice League to rescue us?”

“If that’s what you think, then you might be disappointed.” Roy drew the bow folded behind him, and held it in his hand after transforming it. “According to what you said before, we have been trapped here for more than an hour, then there is only one possibility I can think of.”

“You mean the Justice League is in trouble?” Jackson looked serious.

“But how is that possible?” Wally looked incredulous. “That’s the Justice League! Maybe they have already solved it, and just want us to have a good sleep?”

Roy looked at Wally with an idiotic expression, which made Wally bristle. Fortunately, Dick stopped their bickering in time.

“Roy’s guess should be correct.” Dick said, after everyone looked at him, and showed his WeChat computer to everyone.

“Before I fainted, I stabbed myself with my dart, relying on the pain to send a distress signal to Batman. The computer shows that the information has been sent successfully. If something hadn’t happened to them, they would have seen it and wouldn’t have left us here.”

Dick put away his computer and continued, “You should know that we fainted after inhaling a special gas. No one knows if this gas is harmful to the human body. Normally speaking, we should have woken up in the laboratory at the very least.”

After Dick revealed all his guesses, the safe room fell into silence again. Unknown dangers were outside the door, and the lives of their mentors were unknown. This feeling was indeed uncomfortable.

Roy curled his lips, carrying the bow and walking towards the safe door, saying as he walked, “What is there to hesitate about?”

“What do you mean?” Wally didn’t understand, so he asked.

“Those adults are obviously in trouble. I think this is the best opportunity to prove ourselves.” Roy tested the strength of the bowstring. “If they are fine, then we’ll give them a good slap in the face. If something happened to them…”

Roy clenched the bow, squeezing a sentence from his throat: “Then we have to avenge them, so no matter what happens, we have to fight the guy outside the door!”

“The target has been marked, then the archer only needs to hit the bullseye!”

“Speedy is right.” Dick walked to Roy’s side. “It’s useless for us to stay here. Whether it’s fighting or escaping, we have to go out first, what do you think?”

“Agreed.” “I agree.” “That makes a lot of sense.”

“Okay, let’s go out and meet that guy.” Dick said with a smile, then he looked at Megan again. “Miss Martian, can your telepathy connect us all?”

“I can do it, it’s the most basic of basics.” Megan raised her hand and answered.

“Okay, let’s abandon the League’s communication devices and switch to the mental connection Megan built for us.” Dick took off the communicator in his ear. “After all, we can’t rule out the possibility that the League has fallen, and the other party may already know our communication channel. It’s no longer safe to use it.”

“Then I’ll start.” Megan’s eyes lit up with white light. “If you feel a foreign object intrusion, that’s normal, Uncle J'onn told me.”

After Megan finished speaking, everyone felt a slight sense of intrusion, but it quickly disappeared.

‘Testing, testing, can you hear me? Everyone?’ Megan said.

‘Can hear’ ×4.

‘This feeling is amazing.’ Wally danced around.

‘Don’t think about those useless things.’ Roy knocked Wally on the head. ‘We don’t have time to waste.’

Stopping the clowning Wally, Dick waited until everyone was ready before pressing the button to open the safe door.

The safe door seemed to lead to another world. The safe room was filled with soft white light, while the outside of the safe room was filled with red light emitting a danger signal, which meant that Mount Justice had entered a state of alert.

And the fact that the alert state had not been lifted for so long spoke volumes.

Everyone suppressed the unease and fear in their hearts, and moved forward step by step in the alert. Originally, Kid Flash wanted to take the lead to investigate, but because there was no information, everyone unanimously rejected Wally’s decision to send himself to death.

Moving forward slowly in the alert, they finally arrived at the hall of Mount Justice after fifteen minutes. Hiding at the corner of the tunnel, they saw a shocking scene.

Several crosses were erected in the hall, with many Justice League members bound to them, not only their mentors, but also other members.

‘Oh, no!’ Megan covered her mouth.

Kid Flash gritted his teeth and ran out, ignoring Dick’s dissuasion. In his opinion, as long as the Justice League members were rescued, everything would be easy to handle next.

However, when he was focused on saving people, he didn’t notice that his path ahead was covered with electric nets.

“Aghhhh!” Kid Flash was hit by the electric shock and fell to the ground convulsing.

“Kid Flash!” Jackson immediately wanted to go to support his companion when he saw him fall to the ground, but he saw a big hand grabbing Wally from the ground.

That hand was huge, almost able to hold Wally’s waist with one palm. It was also covered with black hair. Looking up along the hand, one could see a strong body covered with yellow and black hair.

Continuing to look up, one could see the other party’s ape-like face, with a golden trident growing on his forehead, and white eyes mocking everyone.

“Finally here.” Yang Le, who had transformed into a Flash Yeti, said. “I thought you were hiding.”
