2190 Side Story: Fantasy Journey 31

The group returned to the Justice Leagues new base. The joy of rescuing S.T.A.R. Labs people and escaping unscathed faded, and the atmosphere turned a little gloomy.

When they thought about it, Steppenwolf had lost some small fry, but had s.n.a.t.c.hed mankinds box; he absolutely gained big in exchange for a small loss.

Although they had rescued people, especially Victors father, they hadnt actually gained anything. They still had to deal with the Mother Boxes transforming Earth.

Thankfully, Luke had casually used Light of Life to treat Barrys injury, and the kid was already jumping around again.

As soon as they entered the base, Barry went to the table and poured himself a cup of black tea to calm down.

The high-end thermos kept the black tea hot. Even Barry, who had lost more than 100 milliliters of blood, warmed up.

Still, he didnt forget to call his new teammates over to enjoy it as well.

In the end, Arthur snorted. Is there wine? I like that.

Barry was a good kid who never touched alcohol. n.o.body had ever drunk alcohol in the base. Hearing that, he could only shake his head. Ill look around.

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

A few seconds later, Barry returned with a bottle and gave it to Arthur. How about whiskey?

Arthur raised an eyebrow in surprise. He accepted the alcohol and patted the kid on the shoulder. Hm, youre not bad.

Barry chuckled. Looking at Victor, he scratched his head. You probably dont drink tea?

In fact, he wanted to ask if Victor wanted engine oil, but thanks to the corny joke routine which he and Luke had, he thought for a long while before he realized that it wasnt a polite question to ask.

Victor said calmly, No. He then stood to the side with his arms crossed.

He wasnt in the mood to drink anything.

He had been accidentally transformed by the Mother Box kept by mankind. Once the Mother Boxes were combined together, he might end up under their control.

Furthermore, Steppenwolf was the original owner of the Mother Boxes. At the very least, he was the one who had brought the Mother Boxes to Earth.

The thought of becoming a Parademon and obeying Steppenwolf made Victor uncomfortable.

While the new teammates were chatting, the three veterans walked over.

Master Wayne took off his helmet and threw it to the side. He poured himself a cup of black tea.

He wasnt one to talk nonsense about the sour sting of being doused in cold water in the middle of Gothams winter.

Diana also took off her gear. She placed her sword and s.h.i.+eld on the weapons rack on the side, and even tossed the La.s.so of Truth onto the couch.

It was bad enough that they had been unable to take down Steppenwolf during the fight.

More importantly, she could sense that Steppenwolf was indeed stronger than she was.

Although it wasnt a crus.h.i.+ng difference, it would be hard for her to get revenge on her own.

This guy had killed one of her sworn sisters and hundreds of her people on Paradise Island. How could she say that she was a princess of the Amazon if she didnt get revenge?

Luke was the calmest. The nanoarmor shrunk back into a necklace to reveal Mr. Bale in his suit.

He wasnt too wary of Steppenwolf.

As long as the other party wasnt the type who didnt stay dead after being taken down, it wouldnt be hard to kill him.

So, he coughed to draw everyones attention, then said, Dont think too much about whats already happened. The most important thing now is to find Steppenwolf. If he wants to use the Mother Boxes to transform Earth, he wont go into outer s.p.a.ce, right?

As he spoke, he looked at Victor.

Victor opened his eyes. Im looking for the whereabouts of the Mother Boxes.

Luke nodded. If you need any equipment or information, you can look for Alfred.

Then, he looked at Master Wayne. You make the arrangements.

After Lukes opening remarks, Master Wayne quickly got into character. He subconsciously coughed and said, Everybody, get some rest and be on standby. Once Victor finds Steppenwolf, well set off.

It was simple, straightforward and efficient.

A speech before battle? At the very least, they had to wait until they found Steppenwolf.

Arthur sat down with the bottle of whiskey and said lazily, Steppenwolf is very strong. We might die.

Everybody turned their heads.

Arthur, however, didnt seem to notice their expressions. He continued, To be honest, I dont mind. We have to stop him, but Superman isnt here. We dont know when hell be back.

Everybody was silent.

Arthur pointed the bottle at a certain person. No offense, but you dont have superpowers

Master Wayne was expressionless. Im sorry I dont have superpowers.

Arthur pointed at a second person. And who knows, you might be a spy.

Victors eye glowed red.

Arthur went around the group. Youre too weak. Youre fast, but youre so small.

Barry blinked. If I were as big as you, would I be able to run fast?

Arthur pointed at Luke. You look alright, but why are you imitating that dude with no powers?

Luke smiled but didnt say anything. Master Wayne looked at the couch under Arthur.

Finally, Arthur looked at the battle G.o.ddess.

Diana had already lowered her head several times to hide the smile on her face.

Arthur sighed and shook his head. G.o.d, youre so beautiful. Youre also very strong and brave

The three men and one robot looked at each other with subtle expressions. In the end, they all looked at the couch under Arthur, and tried to hold in their laughter.

Arthur said, My ancestors fought the Amazons, but I wasnt around back then.

At that point, he looked nervous and forced a wry smile. Im still young. I havent lived long enough, and I dont want to die yet. I dont think Ive traveled the oceans and the lands of this world yet, but Ive always been alone. Im happy to be able to do something big with you

Diana lowered her head again and smiled.

Even Master Wayne smiled. This was a very normal mindset for a young man. He wanted to do big things, but he didnt have the confidence, and he didnt want to die.

Of course, no normal person wanted to die, let alone someone with mixed blood like Arthur, who could come and go as he pleased in the ocean and on land.

Although this guy talked trash, what youngster didnt go through that stage?

Even though Arthur had sloppy long hair and a scraggly beard, he was indeed a young man. At most he looked a little anxious.

Master Wayne had a good att.i.tude toward young people, especially those who could fight.

With a smile on his face, he pointed. Arthur, youre sitting on something.

Arthur finally stopped talking. He turned around and grabbed a rope that was glowing with a hazy golden light the La.s.so of Truth.

Luke had personally tested the la.s.so part on Doomsday.

But the truth part was indeed better demonstrated by someone else.

Throwing the la.s.so aside, Arthur felt the urge to talk abruptly disappear, and the golden light on the la.s.so faded.

He vaguely guessed what was going on, and was embarra.s.sed, but didnt know what to say to alleviate the humiliation from his earlier babbling.
