It's been a week more since Bruce left to World Forger's residence with Zatanna and Hawkgirl. Their journey has not been the best actually.
The amount of traps that they faced were endless and they were barely contending and continuing on their way to the carcass.
It was like a treasure hunt and this treasure was proving a bit too much by now. They were just getting very tired because of this.
"Let's rest for a bit". Zatanna said when she felt that her eyes couldn't keep open by now
Constant vigilance and not sleeping for a week was now taking a toll on all three of them by now. There is only so much that you can handle mentally.
"You sleep first, I will keep a lookout". Bruce nodded and let the two fall asleep. Then he closed his eyes and kept his other senses extremely active.
Zatanna and Hawkgirl nodded. Both of them took rest against the wall and fell asleep as soon as they closed their eyes.
The stress was so much that they couldn't even control their mind when they closed their eyes and fell asleep directly.
They were in the deepest sleep and practically near unconsciousness when they fell asleep this time. They had no vigilance towards their surroundings.
'They are working hard'. Alex sighed when he looked at the situation of the three. He cannot even talk to them due to interference from the forge itself.
He used a lot of effort just to take a look at their condition and then he has to cut off the connection immediately or it may backfire on them as well.
'What about the others?' Alex closed his eyes and started to survey other realities and universes.
In a remote Universe with not much advanced technology. Superman was currently helping people out by moving planets to other universes and clearing out everything as quickly as he can to the more stable and powerful dimensions.
This was all he can do since he cannot stop the spread of Antimatter himself then he can only improvise with this thing.
In another Universe, Diana was pulling Planets as well with her Lasso and her speed wasn't slow at all. It was like all pf them had the same plane to just take everything away from destruction.
They have lost count on how many people they have saved with this and how many ridicules that they got for doing it as well.
Alex surveyed all this and couldn't help sighing at their sacrifice. They were really heroes and ready to do anything for the helpless.
'Keep it up guys, This will be resolved soon'. Alex's eyes gleamed when he thought that Bruce and the others were close to getting World Forger's corpse.
'Now to see if I can get a hold of Cosmic Raptor a little to revive World Forger'. Alex closed his eyes and concentrated on commanding the Cosmic Raptor unique to the Hands.
'I can feel it'. Alex continued to feel it and felt that he could maybe control if he just continued to focus on it more and more.
In the Higher Omniverse. Otherwise also known as the Sixth Dimension.
"Someone is trying to hold control of Cosmic Raptor". Eternity opened her eyes and frowned when she felt the movement in the Source.
"We need to investigate". One of them stood up and prepared to go out for the search.
The coordinates of the trouble maker were hidden and they couldn't find them for some reason. They maybe nigh Omniscient but they are not fully omniscient and some things can also be hidden from them.
"You go". They all nodded and the one that had stood up disappeared from his place and tried to find the flow of Cosmic Raptor.
He back tracked it all the way and appeared above Alex's head with frowning eyebrows. The situation was a bit more tricky than he thought.
The operator was a reality Manipulator and a powerful one at that. This will not be easy to solve if a conflict broke out.
"Welcome". Alex opened his eyes and looked above him like he could see through something.
The Hand member also didn't continue to hide and appeared in front of Alex honestly with his hands behind his back like an wise man.
"Why are you controlling the Cosmic Raptor?" The guy spoke calmly and didn't waste time on pleasantries.
"It's an honour to meet one of the Hands". Alex spoke calmly and kept sitting in his cross legged position.
"You didn't answer my question?" The guy asked again and didn't even change his face that Alex didn't answer his question.
"I need to revive one of Perpetua's creations to solve the crisis in this multiverse". Alex spike out calmly and looked at the guy.
The guy conveyed the message to the rest of the members and asked for their opinion as well. They couldn't arbitrarily take action.
There were consequences to everything. If they spontaneously did it. It might alter the timeline and create another Multiverse altogether.
"Allowed". All the members talked with each other and the guy agreed to Alex after the discussion was over and they reached a consensus.
"Thank you". Alex nodded his head and the guy didn't stay there either.
"Make sure you only use it for this purpose or the consequences are not something that you can bear". With the warning, the guy disappeared completely and went back to the Sixth Dimension.
'Phew, had me sweating there for a moment'. Alex rubbed the sweat on his forehead and sighed in relief when he saw the guy disappear from there.
These guys can assist the Source and the Source can assist them if their reason is valid and the action they take is in benefit of the Multiverse.
Alex then closed his eyes and continued to gather as much Cosmic Raptor as he can. This time, it was even easier than before because he had the Hand's permission.
He created a massive container and started to store the Raptor inside of it for the future use when it is needed the most.
