Amidst the rumbling sound of machinery, the dying The Mist in the transparent cell was locked up again.
Pipeline prison corridor.
Dr. Harrison Wells smiled at Samuel, who was walking back, and said, "Barry fought him a few times, it was very dangerous, he almost died."
"I didn't expect his gas to have no effect on you. How did you do that?"
"My body is immune to all viruses." Samuel looked at him, smiling and teasing, "Are you disappointed? Less means to contain me, to target me?"
Dr. Harrison Wells chuckled, "We are not enemies, remember? We are in a cooperative relationship, we are friends."
Samuel pouted, "I'd believe it if someone else said that, but you? Forget it. You've watched Barry grow up since he was a child, right? Your feelings for him, father and son? Friends? Teacher and student? Enemies? It's so complicated. When it's time to act, you'll act."
"Cisco, he's a student you favor, and you have a father-son relationship with him. If he interferes with your plan, you'll kill him without hesitation, even if you feel a little sad inside."
"Crocodile tears?"
"Heh heh."
"My motto is: Make friends with heroes, let villains do the work."
Dr. Harrison Wells said with a chuckle, "Saying that is a bit hurtful to our relationship. We've known each other for five or six years, right? I always thought we were already friends."
Samuel shrugged noncommittally.
Friends?
First, explain why you secretly hid Gorilla Grodd after the particle accelerator explosion.
A gorilla affected by the particle accelerator, possessing Mind Manipulation Ability, who are you hiding it from?
Also, explain why you often secretly go to see Eddie Thawne? Isn't it because he is your ancestor, and if he dies, you will cease to exist.
And it seems only I know this point now, right?
It's not over yet, explain the Time Vault? And then explain a certain hidden pipeline room below the pipeline prison?
Of course, the pot shouldn't call the kettle black. Although Samuel didn't secretly pull strings like him, he definitely didn't trust him. It's just that the difference in strength is there, so he was too lazy to engage in any small actions against him.
Heh heh, surface-level friends, right?
"The Speed Force has been very stable recently, and I've extracted quite a bit from it. Want to have a race?"
"If we don't race once, you'll always be unsure, right?"
Dr. Harrison Wells thought for a moment and agreed to Samuel's suggestion.
They had already agreed to a race, and he really wanted to know how fast Samuel was. If he didn't figure this out, he couldn't feel at ease.
Having hidden for so many years, he would never allow anyone to disrupt his plan.
The person most likely to disrupt his plan was Samuel. Only by figuring out exactly how fast Samuel was could he plan how to guard against him accordingly.
Below the pipeline prison, in the particle accelerator tunnel, this is a circular tunnel built around Star Labs. This is also the way home Dr. Harrison Wells built for himself.
Dr. Harrison Wells took off his glasses and placed them between the two, using them as a token of victory.
One lap determines the winner!
Whoever gets the glasses first wins.
"Don't worry, I won't use Reverse-Speed Force." Samuel said fairly.
Dr. Harrison Wells smiled, and a red lightning glow flickered in his eyes. Immediately after, the glow became brighter and brighter, brighter and brighter, his eyes seemed to directly turn into light bulbs emitting terrifying red light!
"One!"
"Two!"
"Run!"
As the sound fell, Dr. Harrison Wells instantly shot out, a crimson lightning glow disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"His speed is indeed much faster than Barry's!" Samuel thought to himself.
A bright blue light lit up around him. After a few seconds of delay, he ran out unhurriedly.
The race between Zooms is not that complicated, not that long, and not even that flashy.
The outcome was decided in a few seconds.
"Whoosh—"
A red light flashed, and Dr. Harrison Wells stopped with an ugly expression.
He had run a lap and reached the finish line, but he didn't see his glasses!
"Whoosh!"
Another Flash of lightning appeared.
Samuel shook the glasses in his hand and said to Dr. Harrison Wells, "You lost."
"You cheated!"
Dr. Harrison Wells said in a deep voice, "You started a few seconds later than me and arrived after me!"
Samuel clicked his tongue twice and teased, "You can't stand losing, can you? The reason I arrived after you is because I ran one more lap than you."
"Ran one more lap?"
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
If what Samuel said was true, it would mean his speed was twice as fast as his!
In almost the same amount of time, he ran one lap, and Samuel ran two. Is this possible?!
Even if this wasn't his fastest peak speed, Samuel couldn't be twice as fast as him, that's too exaggerated!
"I knew you wouldn't believe it."
"See for yourself."
Samuel threw his phone over.
Dr. Harrison Wells took the phone and was stunned.
On the phone was a photo just taken. In the photo, he was running with full focus and effort. Samuel was right beside him, and looking at their positions, Samuel was slightly ahead.
In other words, Samuel started later but arrived first, indeed catching up to him.
Moreover, in the photo, Samuel was holding his glasses, which further confirmed Samuel's words.
He indeed ran two laps!
His speed was indeed twice as fast as his!
No, it should be more than twice!
Because Dr. Harrison Wells didn't even notice when Samuel passed him or when he took the photo.
He was a Zoom, a Zoom who was on par with the future Flash.
How fast must Samuel's speed be to make him, running at full speed, unable to detect it?
Shock?
Frustration?
Disbelief?
All kinds of emotions surged in his heart, directly causing the originally somewhat arrogant Dr. Harrison Wells to become withdrawn!
He believed in the supremacy of speed.
As long as he was fast enough, no matter what kind of enemy or opponent, he wouldn't put them in his eyes; he could solve them all.
Yes, Samuel had Speed Force, and also Reverse-Speed Force as well as various other abilities, but Dr. Harrison Wells didn't think he could really stop him, or really disrupt his plan.
When it came to speed, he had never lost!
But now, he was hit hard; he became withdrawn—
Samuel's speed was too much faster than his, lapping him by a full circle, yet he couldn't even see his lightning trail.
"You, you won."
Dr. Harrison Wells seemed to age dozens of years in an instant, and he grudgingly admitted his defeat.
