"What is this?"
Eric asked, looking at the black crystal Bart was fiddling with, a little confused.
"I don't know. I got it from Luther Manor. Although I don't know what it's for, it feels pretty good to touch."
Bart handed the black, uneven crystal to Eric. "And this thing has one good point: it feels a little cool when I hold it. If it were summer, it could be used as an 'ice cube' to cool down. Unfortunately…"
He shook his head regretfully. "It's winter now."
Eric fiddled with the black crystal in his hand, sensing a familiar aura from it.
It had an aura similar to Krypton meteorites, but it was clearly not the black meteorite he had seen at Hamilton's place before.
A crystal related to Krypton?
A thoughtful look flashed in Eric's eyes.
"Don't go near Luther Manor again."
After putting away the crystal, Eric said to him.
"Why? The owner of Luther Manor has disappeared. Everyone says Lex Luthor was in a plane crash. Since the owner is completely gone, why can't we let these precious things have a new owner?"
Bart was about to continue explaining his reasons, but seeing Eric's unfriendly gaze, he immediately shut up.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't steal things anymore. After all, my current identity is the new Flash."
Having already experienced Eric's terrifying nature, Bart did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Eric at this time.
"Speaking of which, this is my first time meeting your brother. Didn't Mrs. Kent say Clark was a very kind child? I thought he was a very good person, but he seems like a bit of a jerk."
While tidying his new MP3 player, Bart said to Eric, "If he were my brother, I definitely couldn't stand him."
"Nobody can stand you either, Bart. You both have no clear idea of your own positions."
The location where Eric and Bart were was the "Secret Fortress" in the barn.
During weekdays, Clark used a telescope to observe the "starry sky" and Lana.
Although with Clark's Super Vision growing stronger later on, he no longer needed a telescope to peek at the starry sky and Lana.
Eric stood at the edge of the "Secret Fortress," looking at the moon under the night sky in the distance.
The moon's clear light sprinkled on the ground. Eric was bathed in the bright moonlight, and the scorching "Moon Essence" flowed within his body.
"Have you seen Lex Luthor?"
Eric stared at the half-moon for a moment, then asked Bart.
"Actually, no, I've only heard that he's very rich."
Bart adjusted a telescope he had dug out from somewhere and said, "He's bald, isn't he? Or rather, a very rich bald man."
Eric ignored the other party's erratic remarks, casually picked up a newspaper from a box, and after flipping through a few pages, found Lex's portrait.
"Lex Luthor may not be dead. I'll tell you the possible flight path of the plane, and your mission is to find him, possibly stranded on a deserted island."
"Find Lex Luthor?"
Bart took the newspaper from Eric's hand in confusion. "Are you sure this isn't like looking for a needle in a haystack?"
"Not a needle in a haystack, but a person on a deserted island."
Eric stared at the moon gradually rising over the vast wilderness and said coldly.
Late at night, everything on the farm fell completely silent.
In winter, even the chirping of crickets completely vanished, leaving only the land completely enveloped by the night.
Eric, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
He stood up and looked towards Metropolis in the distance.
He had installed an alarm system at the Justice Society Headquarters in Metropolis.
Once an unauthorized person invaded the Headquarters, the alarm system would send a signal to his phone.
This gadget was given to him by Catwoman.
Taking out his phone, Eric looked at the alert message and frowned.
"Just one person?"
Putting away his phone, he walked to Bart, who was lying on a spring bed in a corner of the barn, and woke him up.
"Bart."
Bart, who was a light sleeper, immediately flipped over and got up.
Bart rolled off the bed and looked at Eric, who was standing in front of him, a little dazed.
"Unexpected situation?"
"Are you always this nervous?"
Eric asked, looking at the highly tense Bart.
"Cough, generally speaking, the time I'm most scared and helpless is when I'm asleep, because once I'm asleep, I become an ordinary person, which makes me feel very insecure."
"Go to Justice Society Headquarters. Someone has entered."
Eric said to him.
Meanwhile, in Metropolis.
At the invaded Justice Society Headquarters, a dark figure was moving inside.
In the pitch-black hall, there was no light, and the silhouette of the intruder was completely hidden within it.
The person wore a Green Lantern Ring on their hand, emitting a faint green glow.
The strong light emanating from the Green Lantern Ring filled the entire space with its imposing aura.
Following the energy emitted by the Green Lantern Ring, the person walked to a cabinet.
Bang!
The beam of light from the ring instantly destroyed the cabinet's surface.
Reaching into the torn metal surface, the dark figure took out the Green Lantern's power battery from inside.
"This is the tool used to charge the ring?"
The dark figure uttered a girl's voice.
Whoosh!
The next second, a gust of wind blew through.
The girl who had broken into the Justice Society Headquarters turned around after hearing the sound and suddenly found a figure standing behind her.
Bart, wearing the Flash uniform, stood with his arms crossed, staring at the girl who stood before him, appearing to be around his age.
"I think you'd better put that back."
Although Bart had only been a member of the Justice Society for less than two days, he already considered this place his territory.
At least, he had partial control and jurisdiction over the things here.
The girl, who had turned around, was startled and stammered, "W-who are you?"
"That should be my question to you. Who are you?"
Bart slowly lowered his crossed arms. "This is my territory. You broke in without permission and openly damaged things here. Do you know? I hate thieves the most!"
Bart's eyes flashed with an unfriendly light. "And, for a thief like you, if you can't give a good explanation, I'll make sure you never have another chance to steal!"
Bang!
Before he finished speaking, the Green Lantern Ring in the girl's hand suddenly shot a beam of green energy at Bart.
Bart, possessing Super Speed, easily dodged the attack coming towards him.
After entering the super-speed realm, everything around him slowed down, including the girl's movements, which became incredibly slow in his eyes.
Using Super Speed, Bart instantly moved in front of the girl, exerting sudden force with his right hand to push her.
At the same time, he extended his left hand to grab the Green Lantern Ring from the girl's hand.
With his keen perception, he easily guessed that all of the girl's combat power came from the ring in her hand.
As long as he snatched the ring, he could end the battle instantly.
Bang!
The moment Bart's left hand touched the ring, he was hit by a burst of energy from within the ring, and the green energy sphere exploded instantly.
Bart was directly blasted away by the energy.
"Ugh!"
Bart, who had exited the super-speed realm, rolled and crashed to the ground, carried by the forward momentum, he rolled several times before stopping.
Meanwhile, the girl holding the Green Lantern Ring was directly pushed away by Bart, falling to the ground with a thud and sliding across the smooth floor.
Boom!
The energy beam from the Green Lantern Ring in the girl's hand, on the other hand, slammed into a chair placed at a round table, directly shattering it into pieces.
Wood chips flew into the air, and the entire space was instantly obscured by dust.
Bart, feeling a pain in his chest, tried to stand up, but found that after being hit by the green energy sphere, his body was enveloped by a feeling of weakness, making it difficult to even stand.
The girl's injuries from being pushed out were not severe. After getting up from the ground, she looked at Bart, who was lying on the ground after pushing her, her eyes filled with shock.
How did he manage to push her away?
In a blur, his figure had disappeared from her sight.
What kind of speed was that?
If it weren't for the sudden energy burst from the Green Lantern Ring, she probably wouldn't have been able to hit him, right?
Pressing her forehead to clear her mind, the girl raised the ring on her right hand, aimed it at the astonishing guy in front of her, and prepared to explain to him that she was not a thief.
Bart watched as the other party aimed the Green Lantern Ring at him, swallowed, and just as he was about to speak, the air rippled.
Eric stood in front of him.
Looking at the Green Lantern Ring in his hand, Eric frowned.
"?!"
On the other side, the girl looked at the suddenly appearing Eric in surprise and touched the ring in her hand.
The ring on her right index finger had already been taken by the other party!
The girl, both surprised and scared, looked at the frowning Eric and took a step back.
She was a little intimidated by this person who had taken her ring without her noticing, and who exuded a strong aura that almost suffocated her.
Her intuition told her that this person should be an even more terrifying existence than the guy lying on the ground!
"I… I deeply apologize for the damage I caused, sir. I… I didn't come here to fight. I just lost control."
After losing the ring, the girl clasped her hands together and lowered them, immediately showing a very polite and uneasy expression.
"I don't think this is losing control, you thief!"
Bart stood up and said indignantly.
"I'm not stealing. I'm here to take my father's things."
"Your father?"
Eric's eyes narrowed.
"Yes, my father, Alan Scott."
The girl stated her name. "I am Jenny Scott."
