241. Before the War.

"Alright, I understand. I will respect your choice."

Alex nodded slightly. He wasn't surprised at all by Black Canary's decision. In fact, it would have been strange if she had answered otherwise.

"So, you'll help me return to my universe, right?" Black Canary leaned forward, her tone probing, full of hope. She needed a promise from Alex.

"Of course." Alex smiled.

"But for now, let's focus on the plan at hand. If we can't save Red Hood, then none of this will matter."

Hearing this, Black Canary's expression became more serious. However, her heart, which had been heavy with doubt for so long, finally began to ease. After all these years in this universe, the death of Oliver and the disappearance of the Justice League had been a constant nightmare for her. But at this moment, a glimmer of hope reignited.

As she thought, if she couldn't save her own world, then at the very least, she would perish alongside it.

Meanwhile, Alex, sitting across from her, let out a faint smile before quietly raising his glass to his lips. As he took a sip, his mind was already drifting elsewhere.

Perhaps Black Canary didn't fully understand what was happening in her universe, but Alex, who could see the entire timeline from a macro perspective, had already noticed some very subtle things.

First, there was the magical power in the DC universe, which was vastly different from that in the Marvel universe, as well as the origin of divine power.

In the DC universe, divine power could be considered the beginning of everything. This was not only reflected in the early formation of reality and the manifestation of the universe's great powers, but it was also closely tied to the downfall of the Old Gods and the rise of the New Gods.

Unlike Marvel, which contained countless dimensions connected to reality, the DC universe was much more subtle in its depiction of magical realms. Instead, it focused more on the interconnectedness of its multiverse.

"The gang members and mercenaries aren't a big concern, but we can't underestimate the Hulk Gang and the mutants. We don't know whose side they're on. If they're after us, this rescue mission won't be easy."

"This is, after all, Hydra's headquarters. Red Skull must have some hidden cards up his sleeve if he's confident enough to hold such a high-profile trial. Kate Bishop talked to me about Red Skull and Hydra, and I could feel her wariness toward him. He's definitely a terrifying figure and must not be underestimated."

"But haven't all the powerful beings in this universe been banished from reality? Could there still be anyone here who poses a threat to us?" Kara furrowed her brows, asking the question that was on everyone's mind.

"That's what I'm wondering too. Red Skull must be aware that, beyond Earth, among the stars, there are many forces capable of challenging his rule. So I suspect that Red Skull has something that gives him the confidence to face those challenges," Alex said, rubbing his chin.

"But you'll have a way to deal with it, won't you?"

Even though Alex had painted a dire picture, Kara noticed that his heartbeat hadn't changed much.

"No matter what, this event is bound to be the grandest battle since the fall of the superheroes in the Old War. I can't predict every possible outcome."

At this point, Alex turned his head and glanced out the window at the raven perched quietly on the rooftop, staring in the direction of the White House.

"As for the outcome..."

The next moment, a smile crept onto Alex's face.

"...who knows?"
