Chapter 490: Flashpoint
/*Sorry for no new chapters for the past few days as I moved to a new place and got a new job. The chapters will commence as normal from today*/
"We will be able to save billions of lives Barry. Nothing can get worse than this. You did that same thing after the invasion of Darkseid. You can do the same thing again." Clark said.
"No. What if more terrible things happen? The first time I did everything turned into chaos. Arthur and Diana fought each other and the whole Earth was destroyed. Do you want the same thing again? And even if I go for Flashpoint, how is it gonna stop Unmaker?" Barry protested.
"You can tell about the Unmaker to this Strange. He will take it seriously." Asgardian Strange said.
"I am sorry.. Can you all pause for a second.. What are you all debating on?" Strange couldn't help but ask about this new debate here. It was as if these people knew how to save everyone here.
"Let me say it in simple terms for you to understand.. Barry here can travel in time... And he can go back in time to warn you about the impending doom. This event is what we call Flashpoint. He had done it twice before and one time it turned out to be horrible." Clark said.
"Travel in time? But wouldn't that just create a different timeline." Strange asked.
"No. That is the beauty of it. If he does this there won't be one. The timeline will be the same as it is now but there will be a butterfly effect. And thus the horror part." John replied this time.
"So if Mr. Speedster here can go back in time, and warn us, there might be a chance to save us all?" Strange asked to correct his understanding.
All nodded at it.
"Yes. But it won't be all flowers and roses. This might turn bad. Everything could go haywire." Wayne said, reminding the main problem with Flashpoint.
"I will take that chance." Strange said. Their Earth was almost half destroyed. If there was a chance to redo everything then he would definitely do it.
"That's not your decision. It's mine and I refuse. I have seen the aftermath of flashpoint." Barry still refused.
"Barry.. The first time you did it was out of selfishness and your naive nature. You wanted to spend time with your mother. But this time you will do for a noble cause. It will save billions. This timeline has already gone to shit. Change it." John said.
But as people were trying to convince him, Strange went down to his knees in front of Barry. Seeing this sudden action of Strange all got surprised and stepped back.
"I don't know your real name but from the words of your friends you are called Flash. Dear Mr. Flash, I beg you to save our timeline. I have nothing in return to give you but I will be eternally grateful if you do so." Strange said as he bowed his head.
The Avengers saw one of the most arrogant people of any existing world, go down on his knees to literally bed. Seeing this even Asgardian Strange was surprised.
He really wanted their earth to be whole again. Though the Unmaker had been around for a few hours, the horrors that he had seen were the stuff of nightmares.
People dead and impaled on the streets. Blood flowing like rivers.
If he had one one shot or one opportunity, to seize everything he had ever lost in one moment. He would never let it slip... The author here got distracted by Eminem, sorry about that.
Barry looked at the stoic and almost tearful face of Strange for a second.
"Man! I get swayed by human emotions so easily. I will only do it the superheroes that are left in this planet will agree to it. I don't want the responsibility if anything goes. It's on you if everything goes south." Barry said.
All the Avengers and Strange finally sighed in relief. They thought even after this begging he would not budge. John even for a moment thought about controlling the flashpoint but seeing that it turned out good, he accepted it.
"So now we have to look for the remaining superheroes." Wayne commented.
"Yeah. John, can you find them?" Clark asked.
"I won't be Sorcerer Supreme if I can't do such a trivial thing." John said as he waved his hands in the form of Aankh.
And the very next second, people started appearing out of nowhere. Some of them were known to the Avengers and some were not. And very interestingly, some of them had their genders reversed.
For example, when Wolverine appeared, the famous mutant turned out to be a 'she'. (yeah that was what in the comics)
Miles Morales. (the new Spiderman)
Peter Parker with his daughter May Parker (Wife - Mary Jane, in case you're wondering)
Blade
Deadpool.
Daredevil.
Captain America.
Black Panther
Iron Man and many others.
They looked confused about the sudden change of scenery. At one point they were busy helping people and trying to pacify the chaos around and in the very next moment some of their devices stopped working.
And now a sudden change of location, without their consent
