This is perhaps the biggest crisis the laboratory has ever experienced since its establishment.

After all, the enemies they had faced before were basically competitors caused by leaks, and the internal security personnel could sweep the entire place with just the Flash. As for the room where the Kryptonians were imprisoned, it was filled with red solar lamps to continuously weaken the prisoners' superpowers. The level of caution made people wonder if the management had failed more than once.

Guards holding hot weapons fell to the ground with a crackling sound. Superman hesitated between directly lifting the ceiling and breaking through the wall, and finally chose a low-key compromise... and opened a hole in the ceiling.

The moment they reached the cell door, the Flash let out a series of curses.

"I can't believe it!"

In the blink of an eye, the Kryptonian, who was lying weakly in the red light and was only skin and bones, was brought out. The Flash gently held his ribs and carefully placed him on the ground. This guy looked like he couldn't even stand up, his long and thin legs drooped limply on the ground, reminding Moses of some stray animals that he occasionally rescued in Metropolis and had not eaten a full meal for a long time.

Those poor little guys also hid in the bushes, trembling, and looked at the sudden arrival of Superman with fear and vigilance.

——Although the Kryptonians in front of them were obviously more afraid of the Flash.

He even rubbed against Moses unconsciously.

Noticing this, the Flash immediately winked at Moses, who now looked like a police officer who arranged for a pretty girl to comfort the victim at a crime scene.

Superman: “…”

He squatted down resignedly, looking the Kryptonian in the eye, smiled expertly and soothed him, "It's all right now, don't worry, we'll take you outside right now."

Perhaps it had been too long since anyone had communicated with him from this perspective, the Kryptonian looked at Superman with a dull look. He stared at him blankly for a long time before asking, "Who are you?"

"Come and save your people."

"You are...human?"

"No, I'm a Kryptonian like you. But this is my friend the Flash, he's a human. Although I guess most of the people you've met in the past are bad guys, there are also many good people among the human group."

The Flash quietly watched their exchange, completely giving up the opportunity for conversation, and when Superman mentioned him, he simply raised his hand and waved in a friendly manner.

"Can I take you out?" Superman asked.

The Kryptonian said nothing, but raised his arms in a hug.

"Are you a Kryptonian too?" On the way, the Superman in this universe... let's call him Carl for now, Carl asked stutteringly, "But you made friends with a human."

"Yes." Superman answered every question, "There are many people in the world whom I like and admire, but there are also people on earth whom I dislike or hate."

"So, what is a friend?"

Superman thought for a moment and replied, "Someone I'm willing to die for."

The Flash glanced sideways at him in surprise.

Then he thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "Yes, me too."

They laughed together at this small but precious thing they had in common, and Carl looked up at them in confusion.

Superman noticed his gaze and said gently, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now. You will always meet your own friends in the future."

However, the Kryptonian looked even more confused: "Can't you be my friend?"

"I can't." Superman said seriously, "We are brothers."

At this moment, he took Carl out of the cold laboratory shrouded in white light, and the bright and warm sunlight suddenly enveloped the two faces with similar contours.

“We are compatriots who can fly side by side under the sun.”

“Ah… so beautiful.”

Carl stared blankly at the rising sun above the sea. His heels lifted up unconsciously, as if he wanted to float in the air like Superman beside him.

Superman reached out and lifted his arm, and Carl, struggling with all his might, leaped up as if to break free of some kind of restraint, stumbling into the air like a baby bird just out of its nest.

After a few seconds, he got used to this feeling. Two bright suns suddenly appeared in his blue eyes. Superman smiled and held out his hand to him. He felt a little sorry that he didn't have a red cape behind him. He always felt like something was missing. "Come on, let's fly high." He turned around and said to the Flash, "Wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

"Go ahead," said the Lightning Man. "I don't want to stand here for even a millisecond. Tell me the route and I'll follow you."

"Then go back to Ge Tan?"

"Okay."

The red shadow rushed out first.

Superman stood in a sprinting position, leaping forward and asking the person next to him, "Do you have the strength to run now?"

Carl unconsciously turned his head to look at the sun behind him, then looked at Superman for two seconds. As if he had made a difficult decision, he said seriously, "Yes. I'm with you - we are brothers."

"Don't worry too much." Superman saw his longing for the stars that emit stable light. "There is still a lot of time. You will have a whole day to bask in the sun every day in the future."

When they returned to Gotham, the Flash had already arrived for a while and was watching Thomas Wayne examining Barry with a horrified look on his face.

"This guy nearly got chopped to pieces by lightning in his attempt to regain his speed."

After seeing Superman, he explained, "Fortunately, you came back late. The Speed ​​Force has almost healed his injuries. When I saw him before he healed, I almost thought I had to send my other self to the incinerator with my own hands."

Barry: “It’s not as exaggerated as you say.”

He pressed the ring in his hand and changed into his uniform in seconds.

"Hey! How is it? It looks pretty good. I finally didn't embarrass the Flash in our universe."

Before the others could speak, at the moment when he changed his clothes, a burst of sparks and explosions suddenly sounded in the Batcave. Thomas reflexively pressed Barry's head beside him and hid behind the bunker, while Superman jumped a big step in the direction of the sound - damn his height.

"What's going on?!"

Before he could figure out whether the voice just now came from a friend or an enemy, Shazan's greeting came clearly: "Superman! Long time no see!"

He asked excitedly, "Are you okay? You've been missing for a whole day! Is there anything we can do to help?"

“…”

"Superman?"

The superheroes outside the Flashpoint world watched the familiar yet unfamiliar Metropolis hero in the magic communication with shock and surprise at first, then realized something, blood suddenly flushed on their cheeks, and then flew out of the screen at super speed.

“…”

However, blood magic targets Superman rather than the Flash.

The magic seemed to be shocked by the speed of the object it was observing. After a delay of several seconds, it slowly shifted its perspective and fixed on Superman again.

Half a second later, realizing that escaping was not only shameful but also useless, the Son of Krypton found a dimly lit corner in the Batcave and muttered, "How did you do it? Can the Flash and I go back now?"

Wonder Woman Diana coughed twice and said softly, "Don't worry, there are no outsiders here."

"I can't see you, I can only hear your voices. Who's there? Is there anyone I know?"

"Me, Batman, Shazan, Cyborg, and Green Lantern. Aquaman is busy with family disputes and is said to be on his way. The wizard contacted by SHIELD helped us prepare this communication magic. She is not on the scene now, but we are not sure if she can learn about what is happening through other means."

"Is this wizard trustworthy?"

"For now, yes."

Superman breathed a sigh of relief:

"Great! I was still worried that there were some secrets involved in the parallel universe that were not suitable for too many people to know."

Green Lantern: "Say you become a three-headed body, cute and without a neck?"

“…These are two different things.”

Superman answered with a serious expression.

He had a feeling that in the next period of time, the frequency of conversations teasing him about his height would increase exponentially.

After all, the Flash is a good kid with a conscience, and Green Lantern... he even dared to flirt with Batman and then ran away, and said that Gotan the Knight is cute.

"I heard the voice of the Amazon Queen." Behind Superman, Thomas Wayne realized that there was no danger and stood up with Barry in his arms. "Who are you talking to?"

"Wonder Woman Diana Prince is a respectable hero and a beautiful lady."

"Thank you," the maid said in a tone that was as pleasant and gentle as Thomas had ever heard from an Amazon queen. "You know my name?"

"Yes," Superman said, "sometimes I can't help but pay attention to the superheroes on Earth - of course, the non-private parts. I hope you don't mind."

"Not at all. And I've never bothered to hide my name. Those who want to know will always know it." Diana looked at Batman deliberately when she said this - the Batcave is under Wayne Manor, and Wonder Woman happened to visit Wayne Manor in her own universe as a cultural relic restorer. With the hearing and sensitivity of a demigod, it was easy to connect the two places that were both surrounded by Chiroptera animals.

If Batman built his base under Wayne Manor, and the Wayne family only had one adult besides the old butler, then Batman's true identity would be obvious.

For a while, she did think that the playboy in Gotham was not as stupid as rumored, but was trying to hide something. But his background was far from the core of Batman, making it difficult to make an association. In addition, she did not live in Gotham for a long time, so she was not very curious about those secrets.

And now, the heroine was briefly surprised by her sudden discovery.

However, as a person who has lived for hundreds of years, Diana has a stable aura that is unshakable despite all the hardships.

It's hard for others to tell what she's thinking from her expression.

Wonder Woman naturally continued the topic just now: "I watched the news some time ago and I have always known what you are insisting on and facing. I am sorry that I was busy with other things at the time and could not help you. But if paying attention to my daily life can make you feel relaxed, I am happy for you to focus on Washington."

As she spoke, she thought about how easy it was for Superman to discover everyone's true identity. Not only herself, but every masked vigilante around her would probably find it difficult to fully defend against the Kryptonian's superpowers.

In this sense, Superman may be the first person in the world to know that Batman is equal to Bruce Wayne.

Thinking of some complicated and extended issues brought about by the exposure of their identities, the heroine was actually a little curious about how Superman and the Dark Knight of Gotham usually talked face to face. That might be much more interesting than their current alliance meeting which seemed peaceful and lacked enthusiasm because they were not familiar with each other.

Diana's eyes shifted from the magic communication screen to Batman, as if she had realized something.
