Chapter 497 This Clown Lady, You Didn't Want This Either... (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking follow-up subscriptions!)

"This is...Wayne Manor?"

Now that he has regained his memory, Barry is no longer going to obediently wait to go home after get off work at the police station.

He was planning to ask Sheriff Joe for a long leave, but Wu Xian told him it wasn't necessary. When he noticed Barry acting strangely, he had already used his mental powers to hypnotize the police officers and make them temporarily forget their existence.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Xian raised his hand and drew a sparkling circle in the air, then took Barry and went inside, instantly arriving in Gotham City, hundreds of kilometers away.

To be precise, it should be Wayne Manor, where Batman (Bruce Wayne) usually resides.

However, unlike the luxurious manor in his memory, Barry only saw a dilapidated old house, covered in dust and cobwebs, as if no one had lived there for many years.

"That's right. After Bruce was killed in this world, his parents were so traumatized that they lost all interest in managing the manor."

Mrs. Wayne, in particular, suffered a mental breakdown and became the new Joker, and also the only villain still active in Gotham in recent years.

Wu Xian spoke calmly, but to Barry, it sounded like thunder.

"What! Bruce's mother has turned into a clown!"

Barry felt a gust of wind swirling around him, unable to connect the name "Joker" with Bruce's mother no matter what.

Honestly, even if it's a parallel universe, this is just too outrageous; it makes absolutely no sense.

"It is indeed outrageous, but that's the truth."

Wu Xian was also helpless, and spread his hands, saying, "Batman and the Joker are destined to love and hate each other, and their relationship is complicated. In this world, Batman is Bruce's father, so it is actually quite reasonable for his wife to become the Joker."

"I see... what a load of rubbish! What do you mean by 'love-hate relationship'? You're spreading rumors, aren't you? The Batman and the Joker I remember aren't like that!"

"Hey! Isn't that right?"

Wu Xian feigned surprise and said, "I always thought the Joker had a crush on Batman, it's just that they're different genders, otherwise he would definitely have a baby with him and then use that child to threaten Batman into destroying the entire Gotham City."

"Ah this..."

Upon hearing this, Barry's face immediately fell. To be honest, this was indeed something the Joker would do. If he were a woman, Batman would probably be celebrating Father's Day next year.

A bald man who created Superboy using Superman's and his own genes shook his head, saying that The Flash was too narrow-minded.

It's just having a baby with your mortal enemy, why go through all this trouble? Give him a single hair from Bruce, and he can create an army of bats in no time.

"So, why did you bring me here? To make me apologize to Bruce's father?"

As he said this, Barry's expression was one of unease and guilt. It was all because of his momentary lapse of judgment that the world had become so chaotic and caused so many tragedies that should never have happened.

"That's part of the reason, but more importantly, I need to complete the experiment here to awaken your Speed ​​Force."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a dark shadow fell from the sky with a whooshing roar, crashing heavily to the ground not far away and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Barry instinctively raised his hand to shield himself, only to find that an invisible barrier seemed to separate him and Wu Xian from everything. When the dust settled, he finally saw the true face of the dark figure. It was blond with blue eyes, a tall and graceful figure, wearing a black, tight-fitting battle suit that covered its skin, and in the center of its very conspicuous large breasts was a familiar "S" symbol.

Supergirl, Kara Zoël.

In another timeline, Barry never met this Kryptonian woman; he only heard Superman mention that he had such a cousin, but her fate was unknown.

Unexpectedly, because of me, this person actually came to Earth, and it turned out to be Superman...

Thinking of this, Barry's eyes dimmed slightly, and he murmured an apology.

Kara ignored him, walked coldly to Wu Xian, then glanced at Barry and asked in a strange tone, "This time... will it succeed?"

Clearly, she still remembered that a few years ago, Wu Xian kidnapped Barry Allen and struck him hundreds of times with lightning power, but he never seemed to awaken anything about the Speed ​​Force, which made her somewhat suspicious.

Incidentally, her previous hatred for Barry had diminished considerably during those days of being struck by lightning, and she felt a certain empathy for him after learning that he had also altered the timeline to save his mother.

Of course, forgiveness is impossible; just treat him like a stranger you don't need to know.

"Don't worry, I'm absolutely confident this time... probably."

In the end, Wu Xian couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

To be honest, it's not that he's a coward, but no matter which version of the lightning paradox it is, the Flash needs to be struck by lightning twice to awaken the Speed ​​Force after regaining his memories. Even with his intervention now, it's not certain that this rule can be broken.

Kara remained silent upon hearing this, but said nothing.

After three years of in-depth and gradual learning, she and Wu Xian knew each other very well. She knew that although he had a bit of a mischievous sense of humor and liked to play pranks, he was still very reliable in critical moments, and she had the utmost trust in what she needed to do.

This also shows that Kara and her cousin are the same kind of people; they never use their brains when they can take action. The "Super Brain" skill on the skill list only exists in the setting, and it's unknown when they will be able to use it.

Closer to home.

Wu Xian led Kara and a melancholy-looking Flash into Wayne Manor, where they soon encountered Batman, Thomas Wayne, who was treating his wife.

When the latter saw that it was Wu Xian, his initial reaction was indifferent. He was just about to say a casual greeting when his gaze swept over Barry Allen behind him, and his expression immediately became excited.

"His memories have returned, haven't they? Bruce can come back, right!"

Clearly, this wasn't Thomas Wayne's first meeting with Wu Xian. Three years ago, he had already learned about the lightning paradox from Wu Xian and, with Wu Xian's help, had managed to control his wife who had turned into a clown. In the past two years, he had even shown signs of recovery, at least no longer being as insane as before.

To be honest, this is not easy. The Joker is like a virus in the DC universe. Even if one Joker dies, a new Joker will appear. Apart from the upside-down world like the Syndicate, there has never been a precedent of the Joker being cured.

The reason is simple: besides the help of the Double Hands, the most important thing is that Wu Xian told the Wayne couple that he had a way to save Bruce, who died in Crime Alley. And when Bruce returns and sees that his mother has become a ruthless psychopathic villain, what will his reaction be?

Wu Xian: This clown lady, you don't want your son to see you like this, do you?
Thomas Wayne: "..."
