"Batman! This is what you call strict supervision!?"
"Dante, have you lost your mind!?" Bruce Wayne gritted his teeth, looking at Dante. "More than ten days ago, didn't you know where I was!?"
Dante was about to scold Batman again, but suddenly he couldn't.
More than ten days ago…
The two of them were still pushing carts miserably in Storybrooke Town.
No matter how you put it, the Joker escaped from Bruce Wayne's confinement.
He must take responsibility.
Dante checked the device's detection log again.
Then he knocked on the iron lump.
"Look, ten days ago, an external contact was detected, lasting 0.001 seconds… your gadget's recording accuracy is quite precise, isn't it?"
"Not only is the time precise, but it can also prevent false alarms. This is definitely not a false touch caused by some rustling."
Bruce Wayne frowned, looking at Dante.
"You… do you know something?"
"Bruce, have you heard of Extreme Speedsters?" Dante looked at the 0.001-second data, then asked Bruce Wayne.
"Extreme Speedsters? What kind of strange ability users are these?"
Dante nodded and began to explain.
"So-called Extreme Speedsters are a group of ability users who use 'Speed Force' or 'Reverse Speed Force'. Their abilities are very complex. Simply put, they are very fast, extremely fast, fast enough to travel through time."
"If even you don't know of their existence, then it seems that Extreme Speedsters haven't been born in this era yet."
Bruce Wayne was stunned.
What does it mean to travel through time?
What does it mean that if I don't know, they haven't been born yet?
Do I really look like someone who monitors all special ability users globally?
…Well, he actually is.
Especially after this guy Dante popped up, he became even more convinced of his idea.
Those who transcend mortals must have means prepared to deal with them becoming criminals.
Of course, Dante was an exception.
If he really turned evil, it would basically be over.
As someone with few friends, he actively befriended Dante, even becoming quite good friends, partly with the idea of restricting Dante through emotional ties.
The friendship was real, and the purpose was also real.
But these were all later matters. It was the Extreme Speedsters Dante mentioned that truly surprised him.
Traveling through time?
"You mean, an Extreme Speedster from the future rescued the Joker? And then made him look like he did in the video?"
"That's basically the situation." Dante nodded. "However, what's on the Joker isn't a modification, but rather a creature called a Symbiote that has possessed him."
"Symbiote?"
"Hmm, we'll talk about this knowledge point after we deal with the Joker." Dante shrugged. "This stuff is quite troublesome. It's best to have a teaching aid on hand, it makes it easier to explain. You'll need a sample if you want to study Symbiotes, won't you?"
…
Fury placed the newspaper back on the table.
"A newspaper from the future?"
"A Symbiote Joker and an Extreme Speedster from the future?"
"Dante, what other surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
Dante took half a step back.
He could already feel the resentment from Fury.
"So do you believe this?"
"Nonsense! Dare I not believe it?" Fury gritted his teeth slightly. "The Joker's target is clearly Harley Quinn! If the target were you, I wouldn't bother!"
"It's good that you believe all of this."
Dante nodded, then raised his hand and opened a portal.
Then the Legends entered in single file.
"Come on, come and meet the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Legendary Team."
"This is… what does this mean?" Fury's single eye rarely showed confusion. "What Legendary Team? Why don't I know about such a codename?"
"Well… because they are Federal Bureau of Investigation agents from the future."
"…This isn't something you cooked up again, is it?"
"Of course not me!" Dante faced Fury's questioning with righteous indignation. "It was clearly formed by the future me! I'm not taking this blame!"
"So, at the end of the day, isn't it still you!?"
To be honest, although his worldview was once again impacted, for Fury…
It wasn't that unacceptable.
After all, Dante had done many things to reshape his worldview.
It's just an extra temporal special forces team out of nowhere.
Small matter.
"This is their Captain, and also my student… although her teacher is actually the future me." Dante brought Sarah Lance in front of Fury. "She will tell you everything about this incident."
"Hello Director Fury… this is my first time seeing a younger you."
"By your meaning, I haven't retired in the future? What about Dante? What about Coulson? And Hill?"
"You actually have retired, but after Teacher disappeared, you were forced to come back and preside over the overall situation."
"…So, after all that, I'm still working for free?"
After a couple of soft laughs, Fury motioned for Sarah Lance to continue.
As Sarah Lance narrated, Fury's expression gradually became serious.
He hadn't expected that if this incident wasn't handled well, it could become the flashpoint that completely disrupted the timeline.
"Dante."
"What's up, Fury?"
"Have your Star Team protect Harley twenty-four hours a day, starting now! I don't believe that with three Gods present, this Joker can still succeed!"
"Isn't that obvious? I already informed Hela on the way here."
Fury's idea coincided with Dante's.
Even Carnage Joker plus an Extreme Speedster couldn't break through the protection of Asgard's three siblings.
Not to mention there are also Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, the siblings. As long as Pietro can entangle the Extreme Speedster, then the Extreme Speedster will become Wanda's target.
This is also why Dante put all his attention on finding the Joker.
Because that was the only difficulty.
He didn't want to use Harley Quinn as bait and directly wait for the rabbit.
But no sooner had Dante finished speaking than Dante's personal terminal rang again.
Hela's voice came through.
"Dante, your plan just had a small flaw."
"Flaw?"
"Because… Harley Quinn is gone!"
