The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 108 Lee Jung Returns

The new findings in Firestorm have drawn the attention of the Justice League.

With the help of Atom, who had returned after being away for more than half a month, Batman and Cyborg conducted a detailed analysis of the Flash's current situation at the Central City laboratory.

After analyzing a portion of the Reverse Speed ​​Force left behind in the Batcave before Reverse Lightning, a more detailed picture was finally obtained.

"A portion of the atomic nuclei in his body underwent non-thermally excited lattice resonance under the distortion pull of the local spacetime curvature gradient."

"The simple harmonic vibrations at the atomic level are forcibly awakened, and at a frequency that is almost like the tremors of spacetime itself, they continuously fluctuate, shift, and return to their original positions on a microscopic scale."

Shazam covered his face in bewilderment as he listened to Cyborg's final report, feeling utterly confused.

Looking around at the other people, I found that most of them did not raise any objections.

Green Arrow crossed his arms and remained silent, looking aloof.

Firestorm tilted its head, seemingly having a quiet conversation with some unknown entity, nodding occasionally.

Rubber Man isn't exactly serious, and everyone knows he can't understand, so this guy is sitting in the corner acting as the mood-maker, stretching his head into a long strip and tying it into a knot.

Superman stared at Batman with a sincere expression and asked the question without hesitation.

"So, what does this mean?"

Shazam breathed a sigh of relief and silently gave Superman a thumbs up in his mind.

Batman provided the explanation in the most straightforward terms.

"The Speed ​​Field is somehow infusing the Flash with some kind of information."

"So that's why he's been in a coma?"

Green Arrow finally spoke.

Shazam was certain that this guy hadn't understood before either, he was just pretending to be profound.

To appear less of an idiot, Shazam decided to add some questions himself.

But the rubber man spoke faster than him.

"When will he wake up?"

"When something that should have existed is revived in our universe."

Everyone turned around at the sound and found a person wearing full-body red and blue armor standing at the door.

Everyone was stunned for a while before they could barely recognize the person's identity from the color scheme of the armor.

Green Arrow looked bewildered; to be honest, he had almost thought someone had broken into the watchtower.

Both hands instinctively reached for the bow and arrows on his back.

"Atom, it's only been a few days, how come you've changed your gear so much?"

Superman looked the other man up and down, raised his eyebrows slightly, and was about to speak when he suddenly felt Batman step on his foot under the table.

The armored man seemed a little embarrassed and waved his hand.

"Um, I'm not Professor Palmer, I'm his student. After he came back, he took back his equipment, but in the meantime, I made a set for myself too."

Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded in sudden understanding.

Many people actually know about Ray Palmer and his students taking turns playing the Atom.

The master and apprentice never intended to cover it up. In fact, strictly speaking, since Atom joined the Justice League, Cai Rui'an's version of Atom has appeared in front of the public more often than his teacher.

Ray Palmer wasn't particularly keen on being a hero; he preferred research and often disappeared on his own, traveling all over the world.

Under the guise of business trips, he could also secure a substantial amount of funding from the university where he worked.

"Wow, you're something else, you even went out of your way to get such a cool outfit."

Shazam remained friendly to everyone, casually stroking his chin with a thoughtful expression.

To be honest, in a trend where most people disguise their identities by wearing an eye patch or half-mask, or even not at all, choosing to design a fully enclosed helmet for yourself is quite unique.

Shazam wondered if he could dress up like that someday.

Green Arrow wasn't swayed by aesthetic thinking; instead, he grasped the key point Atom had just made.

"What did you mean just now?"

Cai Ruian's voice sounded somewhat deep due to the helmet.

"After the Flash's research report came out, my teacher reprogrammed the instrument that Star City Labs uses to find anomalous atomic structure points."

"Originally, I just wanted to verify what Firestorm said about Pandora's box, which she always claimed to have in her hands but which we could not see, and whether it really exists."

"But when the instruments were turned on, we made an amazing discovery."

"There are more than twenty similar atomic structure anomalies throughout the New York area."

"Some are very small, about the size of a bunch of keys, while others are so huge that their impact area is comparable to that of the World Trade Center in New York."

"Oh, there's one thing I forgot to mention: the maximum scanning range of that instrument can only cover New York."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this, while Batman, who had already obtained the latest report from Star City Labs, took over the conversation.

"If Pandora's box really exists, it means that there are many things in New York—and perhaps even the whole world—that should exist but that we cannot see."

"The moment the Flash fully awakens may very well be the day those things become reality, so we need to be prepared."

Everyone fell silent; even Shazam understood the seriousness of the situation this time.

The mere existence of Pandora's box has already put them on high alert; if so many new things suddenly appeared around the world, it would likely lead to even greater chaos.

Superman coughed as he looked at the Justice League members, who were displaying a variety of expressions.

He knew it was his turn to speak.

"We can't let the Flash stay unconscious like that forever. He's our comrade, and we won't abandon any comrade."

Superman's example is quite powerful. With him taking the lead in expressing his opinion, the other members, even the newcomers to the Justice League, nodded silently, regardless of their true thoughts.

The armored version of Atom kept his head down and remained silent.

Batman stared at him for a long time before suddenly blurting out a sentence.

"Everyone else, please adjourn the meeting. I have something to discuss with Atom Man alone."

The anxious members got up and left one after another. Even Shazam, who was reluctant, obediently withdrew from the watchtower under Batman's disapproving gaze.

Only Superman, arms crossed and a smirk on his face, remained stubbornly in his seat, refusing to leave. His red boots under the table were covered in Batman's footprints.

Finally, only Batman, Superman, and Atom remained in the conference room.

Batman ignored Superman, who was stubbornly staying, and turned to look at Atom.

"Regarding Rhonda Panida, who disappeared from Star City Labs, as you reported earlier, there is still no trace of her. There aren't many ways on Earth that can fool me. Does she also have an atomic suit, or has she learned the relevant technology from Ray Palmer?"

Before Atom could even speak, Superman began to give an uncharacteristic cold laugh.

"Oh, I thought you were on vacation. Didn't someone say they were never going to care about anything on Earth again?"

Superman stood up and began pacing around Atom.

"So you haven't been idle at all these past few days. You even joined Star City Lab and cosplayed as Atom."

Since Superman has said so, the pretense can no longer be maintained.

Li Zhen took off the helmet she had borrowed from Cai Ruian and let out a long sigh.

"Good heavens, this full-body armor is so stuffy."

Superman moved closer to Lee Jung, staring at her with wide eyes, and was about to speak again.

Batman interrupted him first.

"The person who came back to Earth with you before wasn't him, so those words weren't said by him either."

Upon hearing this, Superman shuddered, his sarcastic expression turning to horror as he turned and glared at Batman.

"What did you say?!"

Batman looked at Superman with a completely bewildered expression.

"He even told you himself that he's going to change his name to Jeanne. Don't you find that a bit strange?"

Li Zhen poked Superman's kidney area.

"Wow, I thought some guy with a bio-field would be the first to notice I was acting strangely."

Superman, feeling annoyed by being jostled from both sides, shrugged and sat back down.

Seeing that the troublemakers had finally quieted down, Li Zhen finally looked at Batman seriously.

"Rachel, she—"

"She's safe. I made arrangements after I noticed something was wrong. Your fundamental personality won't change much in the future. As long as the 'deterrence' is still there, she won't dare to act rashly."

Li Zhen pursed her lips, her expression seemingly showing some discomfort, but she still managed to utter a sentence.

Thank you so much.

The previously depressed Superman suddenly looked up, staring at Li Zhen as if he had seen a ghost.

"What happened to you?"

The latter's expression was subtle; there was no longer any affected politeness in his demeanor, but rather genuine sincerity.

"It's complicated—I probably didn't completely say goodbye to my home planet. Now, I only have Earth as my home."
