Chapter 204

Ahem— Su Quan coughed twice in a mock manner, then pointed to the computer. "You should monitor Barry's physical condition first."

After saying that, he leaned in and gave me a light kiss, then whispered, "I bought two movie tickets for tonight, the one you said you wanted to see a few days ago."

Caitlin snorted and turned to look at the computer screen seriously.

Su Quan was very familiar with this kind of reaction; it would be more troublesome if she directly said yes or no.

This means she hasn't calmed down yet and is still in a 'business-like' state. On the contrary, if she doesn't respond at all, it means she agrees, and then you can use some tricks to coax her.

It's called coaxing, but it's really just a way to save face.

Su Quan tried all sorts of methods, including giving gifts, watching movies, and taking short trips, and he almost always succeeded. In the end, they somehow ended up getting back together.

Caitlin never said she forgave Su Quan, and Su Quan never promised it wouldn't happen again, nor did he ask her for forgiveness.

Anyway, the two of them broke up and got back together in this muddled way. Not to mention bystanders like Cisco, even the two of them got used to this way of getting along.

P. S.: For some reason, I was reminded of my first love. We broke up and got back together countless times.

Also, this chapter is a make-up to the two chapters updated on the 1st.

"His speed exceeded 200 knots per hour, my God, that's really amazing." Cisco glanced at the speed displayed on the monitoring equipment and exclaimed excitedly.

"How is this possible?" Caitlin exclaimed in astonishment.

Dr. Harrison Wells remained calm and silent, but a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"200 knots per hour translates to 370 kilometers per hour. That's a bit slow," Su Quan calculated in his mind.

Central City is more than 600 miles away from Starling City, or about 1,000 kilometers. At Barry Allen's current speed, it would take him two to three hours to get from Central City to Starling City.

Is it that slow?

It wouldn't take that long to make several round trips by myself, would it?

Or rather, even without the Speed Force, the A-Train's Super Speed alone is much, much faster than him!

However, since this is the first time running, the current speed is just the beginning. I will definitely run faster and faster as I go.

"Bang!"

A loud crash came from afar as Barry Allen lost control and crashed into the 'guardrail' that had been prepared in advance.

This injury was quite serious, with multiple fractures and cracks throughout his body.

Three hours later.

In the STAR Labs, Caitlin, holding a photo of Barry Allen's fracture, exclaimed in amazement, "It looks like you fractured your distal radius just now, but it's healed in just three hours!"

Barry Allen was somewhat incredulous. "How is this possible?"

"We don't know—not yet." Caitlin shook her head.

Dr. Harrison Wells, in his wheelchair, approached Barry Allen and asked pointedly, "What happened just now? You were running just fine, and suddenly something distracted you."

Barry Allen paused for a moment, then said, "I remembered something. When I was eleven, my mother was murdered."

The crowd stopped instinctively, their expressions showing sympathy.

"It was late at night. I was woken up by a sound. I went downstairs, and then—what I saw was like a Flash. There was a figure in it. He killed my mother."

"The police arrested my Dad, and he is still in Iron Mountain Prison on murder charges. Everyone, the police, the psychiatrists, they all say that what I saw is not real."

"But what if the murderer is like me?"

Barry Allen considered this possibility because of his speed and the characteristics of his running style!

"Let me be clear, there's only one person like you in the world," Dr. Harrison Wells said with a smile.

Barry Allen let out a silent sigh of disappointment. He believed it, he just believed it!

"I'm going back now." He stood up, nodded to everyone, and turned to leave, looking somewhat dejected.

About half an hour later, he came back.

He came in and said excitedly and indignantly, "I'm not the only one affected by the Particle Accelerator explosion, am I?"

Dr. Harrison Wells glanced at everyone and said, "It's not certain yet."

"You're lying that this city is safe and there are no hidden dangers. What really happened that night?!"

When questioned, Dr. Harrison Wells thought for a moment and said, "After the accelerator was activated, we all felt like heroes, and then everything went wrong."

"A spatial barrier has ruptured, releasing unknown energy into our world. Antimatter, Dark Energy, X-Element— "

Barry Allen interrupted, "These are all theoretical."

"So how 'theoretically' are you yourself?" Dr. Harrison Wells countered.

Barry Allen fell silent.

On the central monitor, a city map centered on the laboratory was displayed as Dr. Harrison Wells operated the system from his wheelchair.

"We have mapped the scattering across the entire city and surrounding area, but we can't know exactly what—or who—was exposed to the radiation."

"We've been searching for other Metahuman like you!"

"Metahuman?"

That's what we call them.

Barry Allen didn't dwell on the issue, and said in a deep voice, "I just saw one. He was a bank robber who could control the weather!"

Cisco couldn't help but say, "This is getting cooler and cooler."

Barry Allen retorted loudly, "That's not cool! Okay? Someone died because of it!"

"Marden must have gained his superpowers in the same way I did, from that Storm Cloud. He's still at large, and we have to stop him before he hurts more people."

Barry Allen was thrilled. This was probably what a hero was like—having the responsibility to save everything, regardless of whether it concerned him or not.

"Barry."

Dr. Harrison Wells cautioned, "That's the job of the police."

"I work for the police."

"You're a forensic assistant!"

That was a rather harsh blow. Barry Allen hesitated for a moment, then said, "You have to take responsibility for this, and take responsibility for him!"

"You're the most important person!"

Dr. Harrison Wells said with a hint of disappointment, "The important thing is you, not me. I've lost everything. I've lost my company, I've lost my reputation, I've lost my freedom!"

He patted his leg and pointed at Barry: "And you broke your arm but healed in three hours. There might be a map to New World inside you, gene therapy, vaccines, medicine, and treasures buried deep within you!"

"Barry, we can't risk all of this just because you want to go out and play the hero!"

"You're not a hero, you're just a young man who got Electric Shock."

Dr. Harrison Wells' words were blunt and hurtful. Barry Allen glanced at the silent crowd, then turned and left in silence.

Su Quan looked at Dr. Harrison Wells with great interest, wondering whether he was trying to encourage or discourage Barry.

It seems like a blow at the moment, but Su Quan knows that Barry Allen will come back.

He'll ask Caitlin and Cisco for help, oh, and maybe himself, and together they'll take down the Weather Wizard.

The hero's old formula: first suppress, then elevate. When Barry is no match for the Weather Wizard, Dr. Harrison Wells will jump in to give him a pep talk and inspire him, and then defeat his opponent in one fell swoop.

Judging from the results, Dr. Harrison Wells's approach of first criticizing and then encouraging was very effective. Barry Allen not only became more confident, but he also naturally joined the Team Flash and became Barry Allen's Mind Stone!

It has to be said, experience truly matters!

However, your target is Barry Allen, and my target, well—it's Barry Allen's rivals.

"Honey, I have to go now. I'll pick you up tonight." Su Quan hugged Caitlin, kissed her cheek, and left the STAR Labs.

On a farm, Clyde Madden, with an arrogant and sinister look on his face, stared coldly at the uninvited guest in front of him.

The person seemed to be in a state of rapid shaking, like a mosaic, a blurry mess, making it impossible to see what they looked like.

This strangeness put immense pressure on Clyde Madden had become somewhat arrogant after gaining superpowers.

"Who are you!"

He spoke in a deep voice, his arms outstretched, his palms facing down, secretly gathering strength, ready to strike immediately if he sensed anything amiss.

"You're going to die."

The uninvited guest spoke, his voice trembling due to the high-speed vibrations, which made him seem even more mysterious.

Clyde Madden chuckled, then suddenly raised his arms and pushed hard, instantly unleashing a Storm.

"Too slow—"

Clyde Madden was startled. In the direction before him, where the Storm had swept through, there was no sign of the uninvited guest.

"Puff!"

Clyde Madden coughed up blood and slammed his body heavily against the farm's wooden wall.
