133. Flashpoint Paradox

"Uuuh". Barry groaned when he woke up again and looked around.

He tried to move his limbs but found that he was tightly bound on a stretched without the ability to move.

"Yo Mate, you done and fucked up". A voice sounded from beside him. The voice was really familiar and Barry quickly snapped his neck towards that side.

"Alex!" Barry exclaimed happily when he saw the person standing there.

"How did you get here?" Barry asked in a bit of surprise when he thought of where he was.

"Well that's quite a short story actually". Alex thought in his mind of what he had felt before.

He was sitting in the lounge with Hancock and the others by his side and watching Zatanna's show on the TV.

Dick was completely astonished by Alex's words of having multiple girlfriends at the same time.

"Hmph, don't learn from this playboy. You better be honest for me". Martha snorted from the side in dissatisfaction. If glares could kill then Alex would be dead by now.

"Mom, don't say that you are not satisfied with the girls". Alex smiled cheekily and nudged her with his finger.

"Hmph, who said that. The girls are all lovely. I don't know how they got into your hands". Martha turned her head to the side with a smile but her words were still strong.

"Hehe, it's because of my charm, right?" Alex smiled smugly and looked towards Hancock for confirmation.

"Definitely Dear". Hancock smiled charmingly and laid her head on his shoulder.

"See". Alex moved his eyebrows at Martha in a teasing manner.

"You don't have to ask her. She is never going to refute you anyway. This girl is hopeless". Martha snapped back in a funny manner when she saw his smug face.

Everyone laughed happily and the atmosphere in the room was very good.

'Fuck'. Alex suddenly felt something and after checking it out. He couldn't help but curse in his mind.

"Gotta go". He stood up and ran out of the estate before teleporting himself to where Barry was bound.

By the time he appeared in the alternate reality. Barry was already bound on the stretched by Thomas.

"Dad, you can come out now". Alex said and kept looking forward towards Barry.

"Who are you?" Thomas came out of the shadows and walked over to Alex silently.

"Well you can say that I am your son from an Alternate Reality". Alex said and looked back at Thomas.

He looked haggard and there were deep eye bags below his eyes.

Alex could clearly see that the stress on his body was beyond recognition and he was using drugs to keep himself going.

'Ugh, I know he is from an alternate reality but it pains to see my own father like this'. Alex thought and sighed before shaking his head.

"We can't have you like that in front of guests Dad". Alex said and snapped his fingers.

Thomas was kind of lagging right now because of Alex's words and the next second he felt his body completely refreshed and all the wear and tear from the years was gone.

"Excuse me but I could use a hand as well". Barry broke the atmosphere from behind. He was looking at the Father and Son with hope.

He wanted to get out of these as soon as possible. It was kind of like torture for a Speedster to stay still like this.

"You better stay like this". Alex's eyes glowed dangerously while looking at Barry.

Barry quickly shut his mouth and didn't dare to make a squeak in front of Alex anymore.

"So Dad, what were you doing just now?" Alex turned back around to look at Thomas and asked while raising his eyebrow.

Thomas was looking at Alex silently with trembling hands and body.

He couldn't believe his eyes and ears when he heard what Alex said to him.

"Are you really Alexander?" He asked in disbelief.

"In the Flesh". Alex nodded his head and spread his arms apart.

Thomas turned around and walked out of the Batcave without saying anything anymore.

"Sigh". Alex sighed and turned to look back at Barry.

Barry was still silent and didn't dare to make a noise in all this while.

"Get up". Alex said and all the bindings automatically came off from Barry.

"Man, your Father sure is rough". Barry rubbed his wrist and said with a grimace.

"You are lucky that he didn't put a hole through your head with the shit you pulled". Alex said and conjured a chair to sit down.

"Haha, he won't do that, right?" Barry laughed awkwardly but grew quiet when he looked at Alex's face.

"He is not the same as Bruce. His main weapon is a modified Gun that can cross your head clean through. What do you think?" Alex crossed his arms in front of his chest and asked.

"Haha, I was just trying to find someone". Barry scratched the back of his head and hung his down in defeat.

"Haaaa, you literally created a new Timeline. Where Wonder Woman and Aquaman are at each other's throats while the rest of world suffers.

Superman is locked up in some containment chamber while Bruce and I died young without being able to do anything". Alex sighed and looked at Barry with an annoyed face.

'All the mess that is already going on and this genius goes ahead and does this'. Alex thought in his mind and felt like punching Barry in the face.

Alex rubbed his temple and Barry shrunk his neck while looking at Alex's frustrated face.

"Umm, so how can we solve this?" Barry asked tentatively.

"I can't abandon a whole world to die and going back into the past will just solve a Paradox and nothing else.

This reality is never going to go away and will just keep expanding more and more. This is the consequence of you messing with time like your own background". Alex looked at him and spoke calmly word for word.

"Sorry, I didn't know this would happen". Barry shrunk his neck and apologised quickly. He didn't dare to argue on this point.
