He was momentarily lost in thought. The person who had just opened the door and spoken was named "Martin Jordan," Hal's father.
In his Universe, Martin Jordan had died in a plane crash during Hal's childhood, but the "he" of this World was still alive.
Hal could probably guess why.
Unlike the father in his memory, this Martin was clearly not as courageous as his father; he probably never got on a plane, and naturally, he wouldn't die.
For some reason, the moment he saw this Martin Jordan, Hal felt a sense of relief.
A great father could establish a great image for his child. He was grateful that his father was a courageous man, just unlucky.
A few minutes later, Hal heard an agitated female voice from inside the room.
"What is that damned bastard doing back?! How else does he want to torment us? Get out of the way! Let me see what else he can do!"
This was the voice of Hal's mother, Jessica Jordan… It was indeed different; in his memory, his mother had never been so agitated, but rather often worriedly advised him not to get on planes and such.
Hal smiled and walked to the door. Just then, the door opened, and Jessica stood there, holding a kitchen knife, facing him.
"What do you, you bastard, want to do now?"
Hal felt a little sad. What kind of situation had led them to dislike their own son so much?
He did not reveal his true identity, only said gently, "I just came back to see you."
However, Jessica sneered, "You shameless, despicable scoundrel, have you learned to act now too? Trying to emulate the hero act? Dream on! We all know what you are!"
But Hal took off his Green Lantern ring and put it in his pocket, then said to them, "Will you believe me a little more this way?"
Jessica was very surprised, but Martin, behind her, his eyes lit up, staring intently at the pocket where Hal had just put the ring, with an indescribable greed in his eyes.
So, while Jessica was still hesitating, Martin suddenly rushed out from behind her, snatched the knife from her hand, and then directly stabbed towards Hal's chest.
As long as he killed him, that ring, which could bestow power upon anyone, would be his!
As for Hal?
Without the ring, this man was useless!
Martin was his father and knew this useless son best, but this time his judgment was wrong.
Jessica suddenly shrieked, shouting loudly, "No!"
No matter how useless "Hal" was, he was still her son. Her maternal love for Hal had always been deeply hidden until this moment, when it erupted.
But even Jessica couldn't stop Martin's determination to kill his son.
However, Hal was not the weak son Martin imagined. He silently shifted his body, dodging Martin's stabbing knife.
Then, with his left hand, he grabbed Martin's wrist, which held the knife, and with his right elbow, he directly slammed his elbow into Martin's face, knocking out several of his front teeth.
He had received formal training from the Green Lantern Corps, and he had even trained under Sinestro, so his combat awareness was absolutely top-notch.
Even without wearing the lantern ring, fighting ten or eight people like Martin was no problem for him.
After Martin was knocked down, the kitchen knife in his hand was also confiscated by Hal. He gently placed the handle of the knife back into Jessica's hand.
"This knife is for cutting vegetables, not for killing people."
Then he walked into the house.
Jessica stared blankly as her "son" walked into the room, momentarily dazed. The expression on Hal's face was something she had never seen before.
Determined, and full of courage and confidence… In Central City, Barry still couldn't resist running here.
But unlike the others, he didn't find his counterpart here.
Even his own house wasn't inhabited by the Allen family, but by a family he didn't know at all.
Barry couldn't say whether he was disappointed or relieved, but he did hear some things here.
For example, there was also a speedster in this city, whom the citizens called "Johnny Quick."
Barry was a little curious about him. Did this person also use the Speed Force?
But he didn't seem to have encountered him.
With no other options, Barry, with nowhere else to go, finally retrieved his suit and walked to the entrance of his university, which was exactly as he remembered it.
"Hi! Are you a new student?"
"No, I just came to look around…" Barry turned his head and saw a White girl with bright eyes and White teeth. She was truly beautiful.
Barry was momentarily stunned.
The girl smiled, and Barry immediately snapped out of it, lowering his head a little shyly.
But the girl extended her hand proactively: "Hello, my name is Iris West, and I'm a student here."
"Oh... oh, my name is Barry, Barry Allen..." Barry's brain short-circuited for a moment, then he quickly reached out, but he soon exclaimed: "What did you say your name was?"
"Iris West? Why? Is it the same name as someone you know?"
"This is truly incredible!"
Is the opposite of Black, White? Can this World get any more outrageous?
