Chapter 215
After delivering Dr. Harrison Wells to Su Quan and the others, Barry Allen ran back to the lab to change into his uniform, and then reappeared in front of Farouk Gibran.
Su Quan felt like he could no longer suppress his complaints.
Are you out of your mind?
Why would you change your uniform at this point? He already knows your true identity, so what's the point of changing it?
Will wearing a uniform help you withstand more damage?
The problem is, you're the Flash, not Superman. You need to take damage to defeat your opponents, so what kind of the Flash are you?
To put it another way, the uniform is the soul of a hero.
OK!
But can't you just take advantage of the moment when your opponent is looking around and not paying attention to anything and take him down?
You must stand in front of him and tell him, "Get ready, I'm going to face you head-on and defeat you fair and square."
MDZZ!
Pipeline Prison.
Everyone watched as the unconscious Farouk Gibran was locked in a cell that could suppress superpowers, and then let out a long sigh of relief.
Yes, Barry Allen won; he defeated Farouk Gibran.
Everyone thought he did a great job, regaining his speed, defeating the enemy, and saving everyone.
However— Su Quan felt his defenses crumble!
Do you know how Barry Allen won?
I'm flashing, I'm flashing, I'm flashing and flashing!
Lang Cui dodged several electric attacks on the spot, but was then grabbed by Farouk Gibran with electricity, which stunned him and drained his energy again!
If it weren't for the fact that regaining his speed made it more closely connected to his body, thus affecting Farouk Gibran's Absorption Ability and causing him to overload and fall into a coma, Barry Allen would most likely have had his speed drained like last time!
What gave you the illusion that you could defeat your opponent simply by increasing your recovery speed?
You've only regained your speed, not become stronger, nor have you learned your opponent's weaknesses!
Damn it, you can't win even when you've lost speed, okay?
Even if you're leveling up by fighting monsters, you still have to abide by the basic law. You have to level up too, right?
You didn't upgrade, you just Full Health Resurrection, and you think you can beat things you couldn't before, so you start to get confident and start to get cocky?
MDZZ!
Perhaps because he had been with the Outsiders team for a while, Su Quan was not used to returning to the Team Flash. He was now admiring Dr. Harrison Wells more and more.
How did he put up with Barry's stupidity?
On the way back to the surface, Caitlin keenly noticed that Su Quan's emotions seemed a little off.
Having escaped death and captured the superpowered criminal, everyone was relaxed and happy, except for Su Quan, whose mood wasn't so high; he seemed a little sullen.
Caitlin took Su Quan's hand and asked with concern, "What's wrong? You seem a little unhappy?"
Su Quan smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm not unhappy, I just don't quite understand Barry's choice."
Caitlin asked, puzzled, "What choice?"
Su Quan stopped and said seriously, "Caitlin, you are very important. What I mean is that even if we don't see each other or contact each other, there will always be a place in my heart where you are safely placed."
Caitlin paused for a moment, then said nervously, "Your words make me very happy, but also very worried. Are you leaving? Where are you going?"
"You're going to Starling City? I know you go Starling City often, and I know you have friends there. I also know Felicity. I don't mind."
"No, I mind. I mean, you know how I feel about you. Unless you don't want me anymore, I'll always be there for you, just like before, again and again."
Su Quan was also taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I'm happy to hear you say that, but you've misunderstood me."
"What I'm trying to say is, you're important, so if you're in danger, I'll stop at nothing to kill the other person and ensure your safety. And Barry— "
"I know he cares about us and is concerned about us, but many times he chooses to give up those simple, effective, and direct methods. In the situation just now, if it were me, I wouldn't have changed into my uniform, nor would I have stood in front of Farouk."
"What... what would you do?"
"I'll rush up behind Farouk and snap his neck as soon as I rescue the doctor! Caitlin, Barry isn't as strong as he thinks, remember? He failed before, but he didn't learn his lesson. He just regained his speed, not his strength!"
Caitlin nodded. "I think you can tell him that you're friends, aren't you? Friends should help and trust each other."
Su Quan had always thought it was interesting to be friends with superheroes, but now—he felt that being Barry's friend wasn't necessarily interesting; on the contrary, being his enemy seemed more interesting.
He will save you, help you, and he will never abandon you, no matter what.
Barry Allen seems to enjoy and crave the sense of accomplishment he gets from helping others, which is why he became a hero. He would do everything in his power to help and save both good and bad people.
Seeing that Su Quan just smiled, Caitlin changed the subject and asked, "Are you going to my house later? Or, to our house?"
Su Quan shook his head. "Let's do it another day, I've been quite busy lately."
"All right."
Caitlin nodded, not insisting.
"I'm leaving now, please tell them." Su Quan hugged Caitlin, smiled, and leaned down to kiss her.
After a while, the two parted ways, and Su Quan left the STAR Labs.
Secret House Villa.
After taking a shower, Su Quan came to Plunderer's room wearing a loose bathrobe.
Her room was decorated like a small studio, and she was sitting in front of the computer, seemingly researching something.
"What's up?"
Plunderer glanced at him with feigned calmness, then quickly turned back to continue operating the computer.
Su Quan sat down beside her bed and said with a smile, "You all did very well today, but—"
"But what?" Plunderer turned to look at her.
Su Quan said seriously, "The Outsiders team's overall strength is still a bit weak. This time, their target is just an ordinary person. What if it's Metahuman? A very strong Metahuman?"
"Your mechanical bees and Betty's bombs will eventually stop working."
Plunderer pursed his lips and said confidently, "No matter what kind of opponent we face, we will find a solution. To be precise, it's me! I will find a solution!"
In the current three-person team setup, Plunderer's role is technical and remote support, as well as operations command.
Su Quan injected both her and Lisa with the Super Soldier Serum, but due to their personalities or other reasons, even though they are both Super Soldier, Lisa wins every time they fight!
The serum's enhancement effects are the same, but differences in individual strength and personality will lead to differences in combat power.
"Russell Grosen, codename Turtle Man."
Su Quan smiled and said a name: "Grab him, I'm very interested in his abilities."
Plunderer raised an eyebrow. "I will give him to you."
"Is that so?"
"I'll wait and see."
Su Quan patted the edge of the bed, a slight smile playing on his lips.
P. S.: To be honest, I haven't watched any DC TV shows for a long time. Now I'm starting to watch them again from the beginning. I've forgotten a lot of the details because of the long time that has passed, so it's easy to miss some plot holes. I'm currently watching up to the third season.
A gentle breeze blows, and the sky is clear and blue.
Su Quan sat on a flower bed downstairs at the Mercury Labs building, drinking coffee and waiting for the person he had arranged to meet to show up.
Mercury Labs and STAR Labs were originally rivals. The real Dr. Harrison Wells and Dr. Dr. Tina McGee, the founder of Mercury Labs, were originally good friends. However, after Reverse-Flash killed the real Dr. Harrison Wells and impersonated him, their relationship gradually deteriorated.
Today, Mercury Labs has become a representative of scientific authority, bringing together a wide variety of top scientists and researchers.
For this reason, Mercury Labs is also a dangerous place. Not only has Reverse-Flash targeted it repeatedly, but Plunderer also attacked it in the show, as well as Dr. Tina McGee.
In addition, there are several other villains like Plunderer who come from the Mercury Labs.
In the show, after briefly leaving STAR Labs, Caitlin also joined Mercury Labs.
"Tap tap tap—tap tap tap—" The sound of high heels clicking on the ground rang out from afar.
The sound seemed somewhat hurried.
"Mr. Su Quan?" A somewhat hurried and hesitant voice rang in my ears.
Su Quan looked up and saw a girl in a white coat looking at him somewhat awkwardly.
"Dr. Lisa Harmon?"
Yes, it's me.
Lisa nodded, then asked somewhat uncertainly, "At first, the security guard informed me that the founder of Void Medical was looking for me, and I couldn't quite believe it. Mr. Su Quan, is this our first meeting? What... what can I do for you?"
