Of course, Henry couldn't exactly tell how the smart atoms did this and hadn't seen it in action, ever but somehow he knew where he was going and how to get there without getting lost.
"Wait, I can create my own smart atoms, I can even use them to upgrade my tech" Henry thought
Some would say that Smart Atoms were just drones that were attached to molecules to allow them to do what they do but they forget one fact, this was a fictional universe and physics was wonky here.
In fictional Universes, Atoms and other related things could be programmed to do what the user wants, in these types of universes, anything could be done and trying to use common sense to evaluate it was just a waste of time.
Smart atoms were just like the Pym Particles from Marvel Comics.
The Thing was capable of shrinking and enlarging anything without it losing its density and had no apparent limit in its usage. There were the Unstable molecules that existed in a state that was in between matter and energy, O.M.A.C in DC that is basically just Amazo that is able to copy people's power.
Fictional Universes shouldn't be evaluated with normal Earth physics or even common sense because it would never take you anywhere but this also meant that you could achieve anything in a fictional universe if you know what you are doing.
"What happened, why did you leave the range" Cecil asked as soon as Henry got within range of the GDA's equipment
"Had to lead him out of the solar system for our safety" Henry lied without worry since he knew that Cecil had no means of hearing him earlier, he wasn't wearing an earpiece instead he was connecting to the GDA using his abilities.
"Well done then, I guess vacation continues right?" Cecil asked knowing that he wouldn't get any more answers from Henry
"Of course, I have worked to protect this planet for thousands of years, it's time I rest but if a major problem arrives, call me okay?" Henry replied
"Well you are the Immortal after all" Cecil said then cut the connection and Henry sped back to his mansion.

Coalition of Planets,
Talescria,
Two men could be seen in an office-like room. One of them dressed in some formal and regal looking clothing to indicate his higher ranking and the other being Allen.
Allen had come here straight after Henry had left as he needed to report this important discovery.
"Are you sure about this" The man asked in disbelief
"Yes, I'm sure, I may not exactly be able to gauge the exact strength of the higher-ranked Viltrumites, I do know that he has no problems beating the lower ranks" Allen answered
"This changes things in our favour, I will have to inform the council but before that, I want you to watch this Immortal or whatever he calls himself, we need to confirm that he and his people are on our side," The man said as he got into deep thought.
The coalition has been fighting against the Viltrumites for several centuries now with neither side getting the better of the other.
This may mean nothing but Allen was in charge of evaluating planets allied with the coalition to see if they had a person or group of people capable of holding off the Viltrumites which means that this Immortal and his people were allied with them but for some reason, they have never stepped up to help in the coalition's cause.
He just couldn't bring himself to trust whoever this was especially after seeing Allen's condition when he returned.
He could at least rule out the strange man being a Viltrumite since Viltrumites knew the location of the Coalition's headquarters, they don't attack because they had no means of penetrating the defence set up by the coalition but despite that, he was still wary of whoever this man was since he just had a feeling that this man had other plans.
"But shouldn't we induct him and his people into our armed forces immediately. The sooner they join us, the faster we can be free from the scrooge known as the Viltrumites" Allen argued
"That is true but as you say, this man is just as strong as the Viltrumites and maybe even stronger, he could be an even bigger threat than the Viltrumites because we know absolutely nothing about him or his people"
"But…."
"Just do as I say, Allen, I am burdened with the safety of trillions of people, this is too risky, for now just watch him"
"I will" Allen answered realizing that there was no way of changing his mind
"Thank you, anyway what about the other planets on the list"
"Eh?.... I haven't been to them" Allen replied truthfully
"Get going then or they will probably think we have abandoned them" The man said as he defused the once oppressive atmosphere present in the room with a simple smile
"See ya!" Allen screamed and immediately flew out of the office to return to his duties but unlike before, he felt even more hopeful and optimistic about this war.

Two(2) Years Later.
Utah.
Headquarters of the Guardians of the Globe.
The entire team and a few others could be seen standing around as though they were awaiting something. Their headquarters was as empty as always, as they waited, Henry suddenly floated into the place in uniform.
"Immortal?.... You're back?... I thought you went for a vacation" Red Rush said as he immediately sped his way to where Henry had landed
"Nah, that ended long ago, I just had to take care of certain things" Henry replied as he hugged the man,
Henry had to admit that while, Josef or Red Rush was a very cheap copy of the flash. He and the Flash shared some similarities in terms of personality hence why he was the most friendly amongst all the Guardians around here.
