When they arrived, Green Arrow had already put away his uniform and was talking to Bruce Wayne's butler in a well-tailored suit. To be honest, Oliver Queen at this moment didn't look like Green Arrow at all; well, he was still a handsome young man.
"Hey, you guys are finally here! I've been so bored all by myself," Oliver Quinn said dramatically.
"What? Bruce hasn't come out yet?" Adam asked, somewhat puzzled.
Bruce's butler, Jean Alfred, is a burly middle-aged man who is said to be the nephew of the former butler, Alfred. He previously served in the Navy but retired for some personal reasons and was brought back by his uncle to become the butler of Wayne Manor.
"Master has some meetings to attend and may be back a little late," the butler explained to Adam, "It concerns the rebuilding of the Justice League."
"Looks like we're early." Adam didn't press Bruce further upon hearing this, and turned to Janata, saying, "Alright, we've arrived. Go have some fun by yourself."
After all, no matter how powerful Ganata is, she's still just a child. She can't stay in one place for long, so it's best to let her go play. Anyway, she's not a real troublemaker, so there's no need to worry about anything happening to her. Besides, with Athena by her side, how could anything go wrong?
"I heard your people came too. Why didn't they come with you?" Adam asked, sitting on the sofa nearby.
“He said he wanted to see the people of this world, so he went with Bruce,” Oliver said with a shrug.
"Where are the others?" Adam asked curiously.
“Our Batman, that guy’s analyzing some data, you know he’s a workaholic.” Oliver shrugged and said, “Cyborg is in there with the Flash. As for Aquaman and Wonder Woman, they messaged me saying they’ll be back tonight. As for Hal, who’s gone even further, I don’t know.”
"So, you've been abandoned," Adam joked.
"Uh, no, by the way, what kind of wine do you want?" Oliver changed the subject, saying, "I remember Bruce has a lot of fine wines in his collection."
“Alright, I’ll have a drink with you since I’m in the mood today.” Adam shrugged and said, “Looks like your world is safe for now.”
"I heard the chaos from last time is over. There shouldn't be any unexpected incidents for now, and even if something does happen, it's not just the Flash alone; there are many others there, so there's nothing to worry about," Oliver shrugged.
Chapter 388 Victory Banquet and Returning Home
Because Adam and Oliver Queen arrived early, they sat in the living room chatting about fun things from their respective worlds. Although Adam had stopped having fun after awakening his Superman memories and hadn't heard any gossip for a long time with Christine by his side, he was a complete playboy before, so he could easily chat with Oliver Queen.
They chatted on and off like this, and the others gradually arrived. Apart from Hal Jordan, who didn't know when he would return, everyone else had gathered in Bruce Wayne's mansion and started their first and last gathering in this world.
As the host, Bruce Wayne expressed his gratitude to the visitors and promised that they could ask him for help if anything happened in the future. Then, the Flash patted his chest and said that he was completely familiar with the passage between the two worlds and could run over to help if anything happened.
The banquet then officially began.
Although it was a banquet, there weren't many people present; it consisted mainly of superheroes and a few insiders, such as Commissioner Gordon. Therefore, no one wore masks tonight, and everyone was dressed very appropriately, enjoying this rare gathering in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
"Hey, hello, nice to meet you, Mr. Adam." Wearing a gray suit and a pair of old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses, Clark Kent appeared in front of Adam.
“Hey, hello, I’ve heard of you, Superman,” Adam said with a smile.
“Call me Clark, Mr. Adam. As for Superman, aren’t you one too?” Clark Kent said with a gentle smile.
"Okay, Clark, then you don't need to call me 'sir' anymore, just call me Adam. That's what my friends call me." Adam realized that Clark Kent did have a certain charm, not the kind of charm you old perverts imagine, but a kind of personal charm that belonged to him personally and had been formed over a long period of time.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while. During the conversation, Adam had already confirmed that the main genes in his body might have come from this person. However, none of that mattered anymore. He was no longer a Superman clone, but a completely new life, Howard Stark's son Adam Stark, with his own memories, a loving family and partner, and comrades who could entrust their backs to each other. All of this made Adam very satisfied. He couldn't understand how he had come up with such strange thoughts in the first place.
"Master, what are you thinking about?" Athena saw Adam sitting quietly to the side, deep in thought, and walked over to ask curiously.
"Ah, it's nothing. I just figured out some things and let go of some things." A smile that Athena knew very well appeared on Adam's face.
"Well then, congratulations, Master," Athena said with a smile, happy that her master had come to his senses.
"You've worked so hard all these years, Athena," Adam suddenly said with emotion. "I still remember the moment I created you. I originally just wanted to create a simple smart butler, but I also poured my own feelings into it during the creation process, and then a miracle happened."
“Yes, because of my master, because of a miracle, I was born.” Athena said with a smile, “Then I met someone who fascinated me.”
Upon hearing this, Adam simply grasped Athena's hand without speaking. He knew that he had been deceiving himself all along, making excuses for himself in various ways. But perhaps he truly owed this woman who had always silently sacrificed for him. Even though he already had Christine and a complete love, the strange feelings he had for Athena were an emotion that Adam could neither let go of nor face.
Athena felt Adam grasp her small hand, trembled slightly, then relaxed, but quickly pulled her hand back. Adam wasn't surprised; he knew Athena knew his feelings. But like Adam, Athena had also been avoiding her own feelings. After gaining life, she was no longer an intelligent program, and she no longer had the idea that her master belonged only to her. That was why she had stayed in the watchtower and hadn't returned.
"Hey, you two are here. What are you whispering about? Come over and have a drink!" At this moment, Wonder Woman, wearing a fiery red evening gown that accentuated her stunning figure, walked over with two large beer mugs in her hands and a flushed face from the alcohol. She exuded a domineering aura.
"Haha, who picked out the real outfit for you?" Athena burst out laughing when she saw the other's outfit. It wasn't that she was laughing at how ill-fitting the outfit was or how it didn't bring out Wonder Woman's beauty; it was simply that Wonder Woman really wasn't suited to wearing this kind of clothing. So, Wonder Woman, even in an evening gown, still acted and behaved like a female warrior, which looked quite comical.
"You also think this outfit is bad? This outfit is really in the way," Wonder Woman said, somewhat annoyed.
"Then why are you still wearing it? Oh, I know, was it a gift from someone you like?" Athena asked half-jokingly.
“No, not at all.” Wonder Woman glanced awkwardly at Clark Kent, who was talking to the two Bruce Waynes, and immediately retorted.
Wonder Woman's expression did not escape Athena's notice, but she did not expose the matter. After all, Clark Kent was indeed a very charming man, and the longer one stayed by his side, the more attractive one would be to a woman, especially a woman from a warrior nation like Wonder Woman.
However, Athena felt that since her own issues were not yet resolved, she shouldn't concern herself with other people's business, especially after learning that Clark Kent already had a girlfriend. This was different from her, Adam's, and Christine's situation, so she didn't continue discussing the matter. Instead, she directly took Wonder Woman for a drink. After all, she was a pure energy being and wouldn't get drunk no matter how much she drank.
Adam shrugged when he found himself back in human form, leaving behind his past self to drink with Oliver Quinn. Barry Allen, on the other hand, was having a blast playing video games with Janata. Everyone seemed to have found something to do: drinking, chatting, and enjoying themselves without worrying about the apocalypse or crime. It would be a shame not to take advantage of Bruce Wayne's kindness.
The day passed in a flurry of activity and joy. After tonight, everyone will pick up the responsibilities they had temporarily abandoned and return to the front lines of protecting the world, fighting against all sorts of aliens or supervillains.
Bruce Wayne's manor, inside the Batcave
The portal connecting the two parallel worlds has been established, and Superman and the others are already dressed in their uniforms, saying goodbye to Bruce Wayne.
“Thank you again for your help,” Bruce Wayne said.
“We’re already friends, so you don’t need to thank us,” Superman said with a smile. “Your strength has been affected to some extent by this incident, so if you need any help, please don’t hesitate to ask. We are still willing to help you.”
"Don't worry, I'm not that old-fashioned. If I need help, I'll definitely come to you." Bruce Wayne nodded slightly and said.
Batman, leading the Joker, approached and said, "Contact me if anything comes up." He then bid farewell to Adam and was the first to step into the portal.
Superman shrugged after seeing this, and then, along with everyone else, said goodbye to Adam and entered the portal one by one. Less than ten seconds later, the portal lit up with a green light, indicating that they had safely reached their destination. The Flash, who was a little tired from running, stopped and sat down on the ground to catch his breath.
"That was exhausting. Luckily, Adam and the others don't need my help," the Flash said haltingly.
"Haha, we're leaving too. Remember to come visit sometime!" Adam laughed, and amidst the Flash's envious gaze, he created a portal and took Athena and Ganata away.
Bruce Wayne was also seeing Adam's ability for the first time. He had originally planned to let the Flash rest for a while before activating the portal, but he didn't expect the Flash to just leave.
"Is this also one of his abilities?" Bruce Wayne asked, frowning.
“That’s right, I remember he said he bought it from a merchant. I’m so envious. He doesn’t have to work himself to death like I do.” The Flash nodded and said.
“This is not good.” Bruce Wayne still frowned and said, “In another world, he has virtually no natural enemies. If he does evil, that world is doomed.”
"How could he do evil? It's completely impossible. You're being too sensitive," the Flash said somewhat displeasedly. The other person had just helped him get back, and he was already saying such things.
“We believed that Superman wouldn’t do evil!” Bruce Wayne said calmly, “But even so, I still had a backup plan, although it ultimately proved useless.”
"What exactly are you trying to say?" the Flash asked, sounding somewhat angry.
“No, I’m not trying to say anything, I just want your help.” Bruce Wayne said to The Flash, “I want you to take a day off and then send something to that other world for me, to the person you mentioned before. Don’t worry, I’m just doing this in case.”
After hearing this, the Flash shook his head and said, "I still don't believe Adam would do evil, but that's precisely why I helped you deliver your backup plan to him. I don't think he'll need it." With that, a flash of golden electricity appeared around him, and he disappeared. Clearly, the usually good-natured Barry Allen was genuinely angry this time.
Chapter 389 The Mysterious Notebook
In a very dilapidated room, a disheveled man was hunched over a worn-out desk, writing notes. He stopped quickly and murmured softly, "Almost there, it's almost over." Then, with slightly trembling hands, he picked up the notebook and began reading from the first page.
------------Notebook Contents----------
The weather was sunny on the 7th.
Nothing noteworthy happened today, so I just read the news I saw, well, that was my wife's request.
Okay, here's the content. Well, the person seems to have disappeared, but the Justice League has issued a statement saying that the person is doing something very important.
······
······
The weather was still sunny on the 31st.
Today my family went to town to buy things. Our town is getting more and more chaotic. Should I look for other jobs? Haha, just kidding.
······
······
It rained on the 4th.
I encountered a strange person today, but it seems none of it concerns me. Well, that's because I really can't find anything else to rewrite. However, my son ate more fruit today, which is probably something to be happy about.
······
······
Partly cloudy on the 15th
There were more unfamiliar people on the streets today, so I went home after get off work. Oh, and I just saw the news that a guy claiming to be from the Ten Rings attacked Tony Stark. My son loves the flying Iron Man, so God bless him.
······
······
The weather will be sunny on the 19th.
Iron Man won. I knew he would win, after all, he's Man's brother. But it seems Man hasn't appeared for a while.
······
······
31st (unclear)
Hydra's forces have secretly taken over our town, but I haven't been asked to do anything, so I'm still living my simple life on a semi-vacation basis.
······
······
It will rain on the 7th.
The Justice League and the Avengers once again joined forces to destroy another Hydra base, and it's rumored that only a pair of twin siblings escaped. Also noteworthy is that a time portal suddenly appeared in the sky above Earth, Spider-Man reappeared, then vanished, and the time portal disappeared as well.
······
······
Sunny on the 11th
Today's operation went very smoothly, but I told my wife I had to go on a business trip. Okay, now it's time to pick out a gift. What should I buy? Oh, I forgot something. According to our intelligence, the Justice League seems to be defunct in name only, because the main creators haven't appeared in public for a long time.
