Misunderstanding

Taking the weapons, Zhang Ye, with Pietro, closed the door of the armory and returned the way they came.

In fact, Zhang Ye valued these items that could enhance their combat power quite a bit. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Traveling through these dangerous universes without strong combat power is absolutely impossible.

Even with Pietro, the speedster, as a bodyguard, Zhang Ye didn't feel safe. After all, every universe had a large number of peak combat power existences. If they had to face them, an ordinary person like Zhang Ye could easily be killed by the aftermath of the battle.

Zhang Ye was very self-aware. They didn't have any particularly impressive or outstanding qualities. Their combat experience basically came from street brawls. Apart from that, Zhang Ye knew nothing about high-tech research and couldn't create powerful Iron Suits like Tony Stark.

In this case, if they wanted to improve their combat power, they could only rely on two things. To sum it up in one sentence: the rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on mutation.

It was far from easy to acquire these things. Zhang Ye had no choice but to take some equipment from Batman that was suitable for their current use, at least to have more trump cards, so as to ensure some of their own safety.

Returning to the dining room, Zhang Ye didn't see Old Bruce Wayne. They originally thought that he had gone to the Batcave first. Just as the two of them were about to set off, they found Old Bruce Wayne shaving in the bathroom.

"Did you find what you wanted?" Bruce Wayne saw Zhang Ye in the mirror. He washed the foam off his face as he asked, seemingly knowing something.

"I did find some good things. Thanks to the notes you left behind, I can skillfully control this multi-functional umbrella, and I can also successfully make Fear Toxin if the conditions are right." Zhang Ye didn't hide anything and picked up the umbrella in their hand.

"Mm." Old Bruce Wayne didn't say much, just nodded in response. It seemed that he knew everything about Zhang Ye's actions in the armory.

Similarly, Zhang Ye knew that he was being watched at all times, but neither of them said it explicitly, tacitly maintaining this delicate balance.

"Is there any news about Superman's whereabouts? I don't think Barry Allen can find any clues. If he's an alien, then there must have been a corresponding spaceship when he landed on Earth. If there's been no answer for so long, it's probably been intercepted by some organization."

Hearing Zhang Ye's words, Old Bruce Wayne was silent for a moment. After drying the water on his face and hands with a towel, he picked up a file from the nearby table.

Zhang Ye took the file. Judging from the slightly warm temperature of the paper, the file had just been printed. It was hard to imagine that Old Bruce Wayne had found Superman's whereabouts in such a short time.

It seemed that although Batman was old, his skills hadn't become rusty.

In the movie, Barry Allen searched all afternoon and into the night without finding any information, but Old Bruce Wayne, from start to finish, excluding the time spent cleaning up the dining room and shaving, probably only took less than twenty minutes.

Opening the file bag, the records inside were what Old Bruce Wayne had discovered after hacking into the Mao Country Security Bureau Archives. It clearly described the process of an alien aircraft entering the Earth's atmosphere and landing in Mao Country.

At the same time, although some information was covered in black, it could still be inferred that the object suspected to be an alien spacecraft had been secretly controlled by Mao Country and stored in a military base in a snowfield for observation and experimentation. It also contained records of the capture of a living alien.

Obviously, this was the current location of 'Superman'.

Interestingly, in Zhang Ye's memory, Superman was indeed captured by humans in the Flashpoint event in the comics, and was imprisoned by the American government. However, in the movie, it was changed to Supergirl landing, and the people who captured her became Mao Country.

"Didn't you tell Barry? He probably is still using your Bat-Network to search for the 'Superman' in his memory, right?" Zhang Ye glanced at the file and asked after confirming its authenticity.

"I just wanted to see how much that young man knows about my Bat-equipment, and also to see how he usually handles these things. Now it seems that he's probably just a rookie vigilante, with ability but no skill." Old Bruce Wayne shook his head.

"Indeed. From what I know, he usually acts under the command of Batman and Alfred from another universe. This is his first time handling a case independently, especially after he caused such a big mess," Zhang Ye sighed as well.

The group chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the Batcave from an elevator in the castle.

But the scene that greeted Zhang Ye after entering the Batcave made them shake their head. They saw Big Barry Allen searching for information about Superman with a serious expression, while Little Barry Allen was running around the Batcave at a speed that was impossible to observe with the naked eye, treating it like a playground.

It had to be said that Little Barry Allen was really too wild. He had grown up spoiled by his parents' doting, which made him a bit out of control. He didn't realize how serious the current situation was, which made Old Bruce Wayne, who liked seriousness and quiet, frown.

Finally, Zhang Ye spoke. "Pietro, stop him."

As soon as the words fell, Pietro disappeared from the spot. Judging from his eager expression, he had wanted to do this for a long time.

Having grown up under the rule of President X since he was a child, and having been subjected to human oppression and discrimination against Mutants for a long time, Pietro, although very lively, was unusually calm and serious when it came to important matters.

But when he saw this completely ignorant Little Barry Allen, a disgust for the brat instinctively welled up in Pietro's heart.

Only two seconds passed. Zhang Ye and Old Bruce Wayne only felt a gust of wind coming. The next moment, their eyes blurred, and they saw Pietro grabbing Little Barry Allen's hand and stopping in front of them.

"Wow--" Little Barry Allen exclaimed and said cheerfully. "You're a speedster too! I really can't believe that there are people with the same abilities in this world. Were you struck by lightning too?"

"Be quiet, kid. I'm a Mutant. My speed is innate, not from being struck by lightning." Pietro frowned, seeming to have written his dislike on his face.

"Aren't you a kid too? And you're too slow. I just didn't use my full strength just now, or do you think you could have caught me?" Little Barry Allen looked unconvinced.

However, the actions of the two quickly attracted the attention of Big Barry Allen. He immediately stood up and stopped Little Barry Allen from preparing for another speed competition.

"You're a speedster? So, did you come to this universe by traveling through time?" Big Barry Allen asked the question he was most curious about in his heart.

"Not really, we have professional equipment that allows us to travel reasonably at the right time," Zhang Ye said, half-truthfully. Even Old Bruce Wayne couldn't tell if they were lying.

Hearing Zhang Ye's words, before anyone else could react, Little Barry Allen immediately said.

"Oh, I get it. You're an organization similar to the Time Police, specializing in dealing with events that violate the development of time and arresting criminals who destroy the timeline, right!"

Little Barry's words immediately startled Big Barry Allen. He never expected that his time travel to save his mother would cause such great chaos. At the same time, he never expected that he would even attract the attention of the 'Time Police'!

Seeing that they had obviously misunderstood, Zhang Ye didn't explain.

Although they weren't from the Time Variance Authority, they had indeed traveled through time using the Time Twister, and the Time Variance Authority itself was the organization that managed the timelines of the multiverse. Since that's what they thought, then let them misunderstand.

As for whether Marvel's Time Variance Authority could manage DC Universe's timeline, that was none of Zhang Ye's business. Anyway, no one should expose them.

So, Zhang Ye glanced at Little Barry Allen calmly and said.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Bruce has found the location of 'Superman'. We should set off as soon as possible."
