American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

50. Test

"Alex, what's wrong?"

While Alex was in a daze, Pietro couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? I'm fine, why do you ask?" Alex responded nonchalantly, but his mind was still filled with the terrifying astral rift and the unknown giant he had just seen.

"You were just standing there holding this thing, and I thought something happened to you." Pietro looked at the timepad in Alex's hand with a strange expression. He hadn't forgotten that this little device had saved them from the previous world.

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just lost in thought."

From Pietro's reaction, Alex could deduce that even though he had spent a long time in that 'place', he had only been in a daze for a few seconds here. The flow of time was different in both places.

Additionally, Alex wasn't planning to tell anyone about what had just happened to him. It wasn't that he wanted to keep it a secret, but because he himself couldn't fully process it yet. Telling others would only add to their worries. Moreover, the most critical issue now was not the unknown terrifying rift, but to quickly solve the problem of this universe created by Barry Allen.

To resolve this disaster, General Zod was an unavoidable obstacle. To deal with him, they couldn't let him fight on the advantageous battlefield of Earth. Alex had carefully selected a very suitable final resting place for him.

However, Alex wasn't sure if the red sun detected by Miss Minutes was the 'red sun' from the DC Universe. After all, the rules of two different universes might not be the same. So, to see if this red sun would be effective, they needed a Kryptonian volunteer to test it out.

Fortunately, there was a Kryptonian presence at Wayne Manor at that moment.

Thinking of this, Alex immediately decided to go back to the rooftop to find Kara.

"Alex, we're almost ready." Seeing Alex preparing to leave, Barry Allen immediately spoke up.

Barry Allen hoped Alex could stay by his side when he tried to regain his superpowers. Even he wasn't sure if his plan would succeed. If it failed, he would undoubtedly be struck dead by lightning. Since Alex and Pietro were so knowledgeable about the multiverse, having them around would at least ensure his safety if anything went wrong.

Hearing Barry Allen's words, Alex paused and, after a brief thought, turned back and said, "You go ahead and start. I have something to discuss with the Kryptonian girl. Just remember, your plan is good, but part of your Speed Force has transferred to the young Barry. To regain your superpowers, besides these external factors, you need to make contact with young Barry at the moment the lightning strikes."

"What do you mean?" Both Barry Allens were confused.

"It means the Barry Allen of this world needs to activate his speed when the lightning strikes, transferring the Speed Force back to you to reactivate your lost Speed Force."

Before Alex could answer, old Batman Bruce Wayne explained, while shaking his head slightly and muttering, "You still don't understand these powers. I can't believe you missed such a crucial step."

Seeing this, Alex nodded to the group and continued leaving the Batcave. Restoring the Flash's superpowers wasn't difficult, but it did look dangerous. After all, he was chosen by the Speed Force. But to be safe, Alex decided to leave Pietro behind.

Firstly, Pietro, despite his unreliable appearance, was very dependable in critical situations. If anything went wrong, Pietro could handle it.

Secondly, the mission was just a test, and Alex and Kara could complete it by themselves. Taking another person would consume more energy, so Alex decided to save where he could and not bring Pietro along.

Returning to Wayne Manor, Alex was heading to the rooftop when he saw Kara holding a large piece of bread in one hand and a glass of red wine in the other, eating heartily.

Apparently, she was so engrossed in eating that she didn't notice someone approaching.

When she realized Alex had arrived, they had already met eyes. Seeing Alex's slightly stunned expression, Kara was a bit embarrassed and then said, as if explaining to herself, "I was planning to come down to find you, but I got hungry when I passed by here. I haven't had proper food in a long time, so I just tried some."

Alex didn't react much to this. After all, she wasn't eating his food. "It's fine, you can eat whatever you want. I was just wondering why you felt hungry despite being exposed to the sun, but I forgot you haven't had a proper meal in a long time. Sorry."

"It's okay." Kara put down her food. She had already changed into her Kryptonian battle suit, the red and blue uniform. After changing, she seemed much more energetic.

Although she didn't know why Alex suddenly came up, his actions showed he specifically came to find her. Seeing Alex wanting to speak but hesitating, Kara straightforwardly said, "You must have something to ask me, right? You saved me, and I owe you a life. So, whatever you need me to do, just say it. As long as I can help, I'll do my best."

"Anything?" Alex couldn't help but want to tease her. Maybe only at this moment did he feel like joking with someone.

"Anything." However, Kara didn't catch the meaning behind Alex's words and responded earnestly.

Hearing this, Alex sighed and gave up on the joke, turning serious. "I might have a way to kill Zod, which will not only save this planet but also avenge your brother."

"What way!?" Before Alex could finish, Kara interrupted, unable to contain her excitement. She originally wanted to find Alex to discuss ways to avenge her brother, and now that Alex had found a solution, how could she stay calm?

"This is what I was about to say. If General Zod keeps getting strengthened by the yellow sun, he will be stronger than all of us. So, we can't fight him here. I have a way to take him to another planet, but I'm not sure if the red sun of that planet will affect him."

Hearing this, Kara immediately understood Alex's intention. "I get it, you want me to test if the sun of that planet will affect Kryptonians, right? Alright, I agree."
