"You don't have to be so depressed.
You should have expected this result a long time ago, shouldn't you?"
Samuel smiled as he helped him put on his glasses and took back his phone.
Dr. Harrison Wells shook his head, "I thought you would be very fast, but I didn't expect you to be this fast!
Is this your top speed?"
Samuel shook his head noncommittally.
Top speed?
That was far from it.
Let's just say, Barry Allen's current top speed is probably around seven to eight hundred kilometers per hour.
Dr. Harrison Wells' speed just now was probably around one thousand kilometers per hour, about to break the sound barrier.
The speed of sound is one thousand two hundred and twenty-four kilometers per hour!
Samuel's speed just now was over two thousand four hundred kilometers per hour, which is twice the speed of sound, or Mach two.
The data for all three was not their ultimate top speed.
Barry Allen was just starting out and had a lot of room for improvement; Dr. Harrison Wells' speed hadn't reached its peak because the Speed Force was still unstable.
As for Samuel—he simply didn't run that fast on purpose!
"Want to race again?
Or, best two out of three?"
Samuel suggested again with a smile.
Dr. Harrison Wells shook his head, "I don't think that's necessary.
I—I just want to go home!"
"And you, you can help me!"
Although the speed comparison made him withdrawn, Samuel's speed gave him hope of returning home.
At least, he didn't have to place all his hope on Barry Allen anymore.
Samuel shrugged, "I can help a lot of people, but the question is—why should I help them!"
"What—conditions—do you have—"
Dr. Harrison Wells wanted to press further, but Samuel had already vanished.
This speed was even faster than during the race just now!
So effortless, how fast was his ultimate top speed?
The next day, noon.
Samuel received a call from Brie Larvan and came to the Secret House Villa.
In the Villa's living room, Brie Larvan and Lisa Snart sat on opposite ends of the sofa; the atmosphere seemed slightly tense.
Opposite the two women, a woman wearing jeans, a purple T-shirt, and a black leather jacket had her arms crossed, her expression serious and wary.
"Quite efficient."
Samuel ignored the 'tense atmosphere' emanating from Brie Larvan and Lisa Snart, and praised the two women without hesitation.
Lisa Snart found the target from scratch, and also had to be wary and compete with the Military.
Brie Larvan, not to mention, was only invited to join last night.
"You know what happened to me?"
The woman in the leather jacket lowered her crossed arms and looked sharply at Samuel.
"Yes, I know."
Samuel smiled and extended his hand to her, "My name is Samuel."
"I—"
She subconsciously prepared to shake hands, but suddenly reacted to her own situation, pulling her hand back quickly as if shocked.
"I am Betty Sans Souci!"
Samuel didn't withdraw his hand, but smiled and encouraged, "It's okay, trust me."
"Are you, are you sure?"
Betty Sans Souci widened her eyes, "You know me, anything I touch will, will explode!
I can't guarantee what will happen if we shake hands."
"I know, that's why I had them find you."
"Trust me, it's okay."
Samuel extended his hand forward slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his voice carried a magnetic quality that inspired trust and confidence.
Betty Sans Souci looked at the two hesitant, nervous, and uneasy women, took a deep breath, and took Samuel's hand.
The moment they clasped hands, a Flash of purple energy light flickered on Samuel's hand.
"Oh no, your, your hand will explode."
Seeing this, Betty Sans Souci quickly tried to let go of Samuel's hand.
Brie Larvan and Lisa Snart also stood up with worried expressions.
"Don't be afraid."
"Trust me!"
Samuel held Betty Sans Souci's hand firmly, smiled brightly at her without rushing, and then the purple energy light instantly disappeared as if absorbed by something.
One second, five seconds, ten seconds—
Everyone watched Samuel and Betty Sans Souci's clasped hands nervously.
No explosion!
"How, how is this possible?"
Betty Sans Souci looked at Samuel in disbelief and asked excitedly, "How did you do that?"
Samuel let go of her hand and shrugged.
Betty Sans Souci looked around, casually picked up an ornament, and the purple energy light instantly transformed it into a bomb, which she threw out the window.
"Bang!"
An explosion followed.
"It's not a problem with the ability, it's you!
You can immune my ability?"
Betty Sans Souci turned around, staring at Samuel with burning eyes.
Brie Larvan and Lisa Snart also looked at Samuel with shock.
They knew how terrifying Betty Sans Souci's ability was.
Samuel—Samuel was just an ordinary person.
How did he manage not to be turned into a bomb?
"Immune?
That's one way to understand it!"
"Your ability comes from the particle accelerator explosion.
The dark matter produced by the explosion caused the bomb fragment material in your body to fuse with your body, changing your DNA and giving you the ability to turn anything you touch into explosives."
Samuel paused, then continued, "So, it wasn't General Ellin and the Doctor who operated on you that made you this way."
In the original storyline, Betty Sans Souci thought it was General Ellin and the Doctor who turned her into a metahuman monster, and she was determined to investigate and seek revenge.
Later, Flash and the Flash Team wanted to help her, but General Ellin relentlessly pursued her, seeing her as his asset.
To prevent Barry Allen's identity from being exposed and to protect Flash's safety.
Dr. Harrison Wells instigated Betty Sans Souci to kill General Ellin to protect her own kind, the metahumans.
Then, Betty Sans Souci died.
Because of her ability, after death, her body became an explosion containing immense energy.
Flash had to throw her into the sea to avoid causing damage to the city.
Finally—Bang, not even a complete corpse remained!
By the way, she was also called Bombshell in the comics, but she wasn't a U.S. Army bomb disposal expert, but a Terrorist from Canada, who was later recruited to join the Suicide Squad.
Initially, she was a Firestorm villain, once teaming up with Killer Frost to seek revenge on Firestorm.
Later, she became a Captain Atom villain, and later, in a dramatic twist, married Captain Atom and then divorced him.
Oh, she also participated in battles against Black Adam and was involved in missions to capture the Trickster and the Pied Piper.
Later, she also joined the Crime Syndicate and the Secret Society of Super Villains.
