Sleeping Together

Barry understood.

Branch number one represents the original Timeline; without the roots, it will wither and die.

The second branch represents his current Timeline. Although it was grafted onto the root of the first tree, the method was too crude, resulting in a very low survival rate.

The atmosphere became heavy, and a sense of oppression filled the room.

Venom pressed Kara, who had stood up, back down and made a shushing gesture. Damian finished his biscuit, and Thomas tore off his apron.

Martha picked up the number one branch and asked softly, "How much time do we have left?"

"Logically, the Timeline would disappear in an instant once it's cut, but in that place there's no real concept of time, so perhaps it still exists."

Kino could only be certain that Black Adam and the others were still alive, and that Bruce was definitely not dead.

"Action time."

Thomas's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Two days from now, but are you sure you want to go? The enemies there are not ordinary people who can handle them; you might die."

Kino looked at the two of them with a half-smile.

Batman and the Joker teaming up?

"No one can stop me from finding Bruce!"

A fierce glint flashed in Thomas's eyes.

"Hahaha, the Joker won't die! Joker absolutely won't die until we find Little Bruce!"

A maniacal smile crept across Martha's lips.

The Joker never disappeared; he simply impersonated Martha through his acting skills.

"Then we'll meet here in two days. You don't have much time to prepare."

Kino was eagerly anticipating Bruce's reaction when he saw his parents.

"Also, Mrs. Martha, I expect that after you find Bruce, you'll see the Joker disappear, or at least not reappear, or I can't guarantee what I might do."

Kino makes no attempt to hide his malice towards the Joker.

In response to Kino's warning, Martha reverted to her previous dignified and composed demeanor, acting like a schizophrenic.

"Of course, once my Bruce is found, the Joker will die."

After Martha finished speaking, she patted Damian's little head and said gently, "Damian, Grandpa and Grandma have gone out to do something. Be a good boy and stay at home."

"Okay, goodbye Grandpa and Grandma."

Damian gave an obedient reply.

Watching the two about to leave, Kino tossed two items, which Thomas and Martha caught.

"This is a sponsorship for you; I like happy endings."

Thomas and Martha turned around and bowed slightly to Kino.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Kino."

"Bruce is lucky to have a friend like you."

Leaving Wayne Manor.

Thomas called out to Martha.

"Martha, if we find Bruce, can we go back in time?"

"..."

"Hahaha, Old Bat, if you do well this time, I don't mind playing the role of a good wife and mother."

But if I fail again this time, I will cut off your limbs and turn you into a vase."

Martha turned around—no, now she was the Joker —with a crimson smile painted with blood on her face.

Watching the Joker's departing figure, Thomas looked at the thing in his hand, a determined glint in his eyes.

Kino: "Then Barry, you need to regain the Speed Force."

Barry gave a bitter smile and asked:

"Brother Kino, what would Timeline if we got back to the original Timeline?"

"Restarting makes it disappear, just like a computer with a bug that only requires a restart. However, we now have the added step of finding the correct Timeline..."

"What is wrong, what is right? Is it wrong for my mother to be alive?!"

Barry was so excited that he slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

The next second, I felt a sharp pain in my back as Kara pinned me against the wall.

"Don't yell at Kino!"

Barry realized what was happening.

Brother Kino did nothing and was still trying to save the world, yet I took out my emotions on him.

"I'm sorry, Brother Kino."

Barry lowered his head, not daring to look Kino in the eye.

"I can bring your mother back to life."

Previously, it was because Barry's mother's death was Absolute Point in Time, and trying to rescue her might have unimaginable consequences. But now that we live in the multiverse, with new abilities, what is there to fear, as long as we don't encounter God or the Endless?

Barry suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief, surprise, and emotion...

Kara let go of him; her snot was dripping onto her new clothes.

"Thank you, Brother Kino!"

Barry was so excited that he lunged forward, but he crashed into an invisible wall in mid-air and fell to the ground in a sorry state, clutching his face in pain and rolling around on the ground.

"Saving your mother will come at a price."

"What reward? I'll definitely pay you."

Barry nodded repeatedly, his face covered in blood from his nose.

"Nothing, just charging my power bank."

Kino gave a gentle smile, which sent a chill down Barry's spine.

Next comes the process of replicating the Flash's creation, but this time, for some unknown reason, Barry was struck more than ten times before gaining the Speed Force.

If it weren't for Kino being there, Barry would have been a charred corpse.

Kino abandoned the exhausted Barry at the Wayne Manor.

Arriving at the nearby villa, just as he was about to have a fierce battle with Venom, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Kino sighed, somewhat wanting to pretend he hadn't heard, but then remembered his Super Vision and got up to open the door.

Kara was wearing a white silk nightgown, revealing her two fair and tender thighs, and she was also holding a pillow in her arms.

"Kino, can I sleep with you guys?"

Kara asked in a low voice.

"Kara, we've already... come in."

Kino wanted to refuse, but seeing the fear in Kara's eyes—a deep-seated loneliness and terror—he softened and stepped aside.

"Kino, Kino. I only need a tiny place to sleep."

Kara laughed and went to the foot of the bed, intending to lean against the wall and take a nap, as she had done for years.

However, Venom pulled her onto the bed and hugged her from behind like a doll.

"Venom, this is where Kino sleeps."

"It's okay, this bed is big, Kino can sleep on the other side."

Venom patted Kara on the other side.

Kino knew he would have to sleep on vegetarian food today, so he lay down next to Kara.

Kara blinked, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently hugged Kino's arm, as if that would give her a sense of security.

And so, Venom, holding Kara, Kara, holding Kino, slowly fell asleep.

That night, Kara had no more dreams, only a quiet and deep sleep, as if years of fear had been completely dispelled at that moment.

The next day.

Kino woke up, but it seemed like he wasn't fully awake; his consciousness was still in a state between sleep and wakefulness.

He habitually kneads the dough balls in his hands; it has become an instinct. He always unconsciously grabs something when he falls asleep, and he kneads them to wake himself up before waking up.

Suddenly, he realized something was wrong—two of them! He jerked his eyes open.

He didn't know when, but Venom and Kara were lying on either side of him, and the two of them had already woken up.

How does it feel?

Venom said with a smile.

"Kino..."

Kara blushed, her eyes filled with shyness, the blush spreading from her cheeks to her ears.

"Hmm~"

"Eek~"

The two women let out a soft moan.
