"Oh angry huh". Alex smirked and stood up from the place and sat down on a chair that he conjured on the spot.
"Then what do I do? I tried to save the people but I lost my own family in the end!" Superboy yelled in regret and his eyes turned red. He was literally shedding tears of blood by this point.
Clark and the other four couldn't bare to look straight at Superboy's aggrieved face. They had to think about the four heroes that they had lost as well and their turned more and more gloomy.
"This is the path you chose for yourself and you should've known the consequences of it first hand". Alex pointed at him and said plainly.
"You know your family would be disappointed to see you behaving like this. I have met Clark's father and mother and I know for a fact that yours are similar to him.
So you doing this will be a big disappointment to them but you are in luck. Here see this thing". Alex clapped his hands and a portal opened in front of them.
Three people stepped out of the portal with confusion. They were about die due to Antimatter but were suddenly transported somewhere dark.
It was fortunate that Alex was paying attention to everyone at that time and he thought of surveying for any anomalies and found them being attacked by Antimatter.
So he took the chance to quickly save them from the Antimatter. He just put them in a coma and didn't had the time to let them out with everything going on.
"Mom, Dad, Shanan". Superboy yelled their names in astonishment when he saw them coming in.
"Well, I guess you guys heard what he said". Alex shrugged and cleared their front for them.
He waved to the four restraining him and they let go of him immediately to allow him some time with his family.
"Son, I am very disappointed". Jonathan looked at Superboy with some melancholy and shook his head.
"Dad". Superboy's voice was a bit weak when he heard his words.
"Don't worry, everyone makes mistakes but it is important that we learn from them". Jonathan patted his shoulder with a smile and said.
"I will". Superboy modded his head and agreed immediately like a good kid.
"There you have your family and I suppose we also have some of the targets". Alex smiled and as he was speaking. His speech changed in the middle.
'Alex, we have found the carcass'. Bruce's voice came through his mind.
'Then let's get you outta there'. Alex spoke and immediately withdrew the three out of there.
Zatanna used her magic to store the carcass in another dimension and quickly stepped through the portal to return home.
Somewhere far into the multiverse. A bat like creature was flying and harvesting some destructive energies from the universes while laughing wretchedly.
'Not good, someone broke through the entrapment'. Barbatos quickly tried to go back but he was so far away by now that it will take him a month to get back.
'I need to go back as soon as possible'. Barbatos sweated and tried to speed up as much as he can but Bruce and others had already been inside the forge for week by this point.
Before Barbatos had even come back to the forge. Bruce had already took the carcass back to Alex and returned home.
"Good job guys". Alex smiled and teleported inside the batcave. This place was especially fortified and was very durable.
This was the perfect place to revive the World Forger. It was secure and Alex could put some enchantments that they will not be disturbed either.
"Lay out the Carcass here". Alex motioned Zatanna and she immediately followed his command.
She laid out World Forger's carcass on the table and immediately backed because the energy radiating from it was not something that she could bare.
"Everyone back". Alex ordered and stepped forward himself to check the carcass.
'This corpse still looks alive and without any decay even after five whole years'. Alex shook his head in wonder when he looked at the World Forger's corpse.
Then he waved his hand and the Cosmic Raptor container appeared beside him. It was time to reap the fruits of his hard work.
'Now to use the energy and revive The World Forger'. Alex started to pull the energy out of the container and fuse it with the corpse in front of him.
The process went smoothly at first but Alex started to experience the problem when he found out that he somehow couldn't control the flow of Cosmic Raptor and it was trying to destroy the corpse.
'No you don't'. Alex used all his concentration and started to sort the trouble out as soon as possible.
It was like playing a very high concentration requiring round in a game and there was no room for mistake. It was do or die moment for him now.
Alex gave it his all and fused the energy in every cell and muscle fibre of the being laying on the stretcher motionlessly.
'Once this fusion finishes. He will be revived'. This gave him more motivation and he kept on fusing the energy into the corpse.
Soon the corpse started to twitch and the energy was fully fused into it. There was still some surplus energy left that Alex stored away unceremoniously.
"Finally". Alex sighed and slumped onto a chair behind him. Bruce had quietly placed it there when he saw Alex's tired face.
"Now what?" Zatanna rubbed his shoulders and asked in a soft voice.
"Now you guys go and rest. Thank you for your hard work. I will see what to do here now?" Alex smiled and dismissed them from there.
"Alright, I could sure use some as well". Hawkgirl yawned and stretched tiredly.
"See you then". Zatanna nodded and took her leave from the batcave with Hawkgirl.
They were really too tired after a month of that treasure hunting adventure. They could sure use some good rest and a peaceful sleep.
"You can rest in a room in the mansion". Alex yelled towards Hawkgirl and focused back on the revived guy.
