Brainiac's words caught Michael and Kara's attention.
Future timelines were never particularly stable things. If some major upheaval in the past caused future spacetime to collapse, every student and teacher at the Future Hero Academy would be lost in the vanished timeline.
Michael quickly stood up, ignoring Kara's resentful expression, and moved beside Brainiac to examine the data he had provided.
After a while, Michael raised his head solemnly, confirming Brainiac's assessment.
Although Michael did not possess the so-called twelfth-level intellect rating, as Brad's son, he had received an education far beyond most people's reach since childhood.
Brad had started giving Michael entertaining exercises like drawing the structure of a gravity well freehand when he was five. Spotting anomalies in data captured from fracturing realities and timelines was just basic work.
"But how is that possible?"
Michael was puzzled.
His father was still in the DC universe. How could he allow such a serious problem to develop in reality? For someone who could hold a universe in the palm of his hand, stabilizing a timeline was child's play.
Unless his father had played a part in causing these fluctuations in reality.
That was probably more or less what had happened.
Michael reached that conclusion almost instantly, then sighed quietly, wondering when he could make a call across spacetime to ask Brad.
But the moment that thought crossed his mind, a voice slightly distorted by the timeline's fluctuations rang out in his head.
"Come back when you get a chance. DC probably isn't going to survive."
Just as I thought!
Michael was immediately alarmed and hurriedly asked in his mind, Dad, what's going on? Why is DC suddenly about to disappear?
"I originally wanted to take a gentler approach, too, but plans never keep up with changes. There's a problem with
