Barry lost his speed?
I've seen this episode!
Alright, it's not just this episode, Barry Allen's speed is like an untamed wild horse, occasionally jumping out of the fence and running a few laps on the grassland.
Samuel inquired about the situation in detail and figured out what was going on.
Simply put, this Farooq Gibran was also a master of courting death. The night of the particle accelerator explosion, he climbed a power tower and was then affected by dark matter.
After falling from the power tower, his two friends wanted to perform CPR on him, but they were burned to charcoal by the current he released.
After that, he electrocuted someone else, and then Flash found him.
The two fought, Farooq Gibran hit Flash with a current and absorbed Flash's speed.
Caitlin called him back, on the one hand to tell him that Barry had lost his speed, and on the other hand because Farooq Gibran resented the particle accelerator incident.
As a shareholder of Star Labs and one of the supporters of the particle accelerator, Samuel might be retaliated against by him.
"Where is this Farooq Gibran now?"
Samuel asked.
Cisco turned and walked towards the control panel, just about to find Farooq Gibran's location, when a piercing alarm suddenly sounded.
"Not good."
Everyone looked at the monitor at the door, only to see a man with dark circles around his eyes shouting at the door.
"Dr. Harrison Wells, I want to see you, come out, I know you're inside, open the door!"
"I just want to talk, Dr. Wells!"
"Wells, let me in!"
Farooq Gibran shouted emotionally for a long time, and finally got angry.
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
With a wave of his hand, current struck the nearby transformer box, and a large amount of electrical energy was absorbed by him.
At the same time, some circuits in the laboratory also had problems, and the lights flickered on and off.
No.
Not only Star Labs, but the power in this entire area, including the Central City Police Department, was affected.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, and sparks flew.
The flickering lights completely went out, and the surface control room of Star Labs instantly fell into darkness.
Immediately after, there was another bang, as if something had been hit.
"He's already inside."
Everyone immediately realized that Farooq Gibran must have forced his way in.
Barry Allen took out his phone and called Joe. He had lost his speed now and could only call for backup, but he called several times and Joe's phone didn't connect.
Finally, he could only call the police department leadership.
"Captain Singh, I've been trying to get in touch with Joe—"
"There are hostages being held, Barry, at the police department, Joe is inside, and so is his daughter."
"Once I have more information, I'll call you."
"Wait!"
Barry Allen wanted to ask more, but the call had already been hung up.
He looked at everyone worriedly: "Joe and Iris are in trouble, I need to get my ability back."
"I have an idea, but it hasn't been proven," Dr. Harrison Wells said.
Barry's attitude was very firm: "I'm willing to take a gamble."
"Alright, you did lose your abilities, but on a subatomic level, your body hasn't changed. In other words, your cells are still active!"
Cisco reacted and chimed in: "They just need a trigger."
"What do we do? How do we trigger me?"
"We need to recreate the shock your body experienced."
"But that means the peak current applied to him must be at least twenty million amperes!"
"That's even more electricity than an electric chair uses."
Dr. Harrison Wells looked at Caitlin: "Caitlin, Farooq Gibran has entered the building, we only have death as a possibility!"
"We haven't activated the backup generator. If we restart it, maybe it can provide the required voltage, it's just—we need to find a way to feed the electricity generated by the generator into Barry's body without any loss. Using the treadmill, I think my baby can withstand this amount of electricity!"
Caitlin worried: "What if Barry can't handle it?"
"That's up to Mr. Allen."
Everyone looked at Barry Allen.
Generally, Samuel didn't have much presence during these kinds of scientific discussions.
Although both the Kryptonian's super brainpower and the Speed Force's derivative fast learning ability could make him a formidable scientist, he wasn't very interested in this area.
Among everyone in the room, besides Farooq Gibran, only Samuel was not a scientist.
He wasn't good at scientific research, but he was good at motivational speeches.
Samuel patted Barry Allen: "I believe in you!"
Barry Allen nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "You guys figure out how to activate my speed, I'm going to go talk to him."
"No, absolutely not."
"Didn't you see how he was at the substation? He needs to feed on energy. After the particle accelerator exploded, I gained speed, but he lost two good friends, and his body had problems after waking up!"
Here we go again, typical Barry Allen-style lip service.
No matter what the other party did, or how bad they were, he always felt he could try to save them.
If I remember correctly, it wasn't just his friends who died because of Farooq Gibran, he killed people, committed crimes, and was only discovered afterwards. Then Barry fought him and had his speed absorbed.
Barry Allen's way of thinking is the typical 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot'.
Dr. Harrison Wells said in a deep voice: "This morning, you also found that this metahuman electrocuted an innocent victim at the crime scene. He is a murderer!"
...
"And you, you have no ability to fight him!"
Barry Allen was silent for a moment, then stubbornly shook his head and said: "Maybe he just needed help like I did back then, I don't need abilities to help him, I have to try!"
Barry Allen was determined, turned around, and walked out of the control room.
Everyone was speechless, but Samuel was already used to it. I have to say, being a supervillain is really quite happy.
Dr. Harrison Wells and Cisco went to figure out how to use the treadmill to activate Barry Allen's speed. Caitlin was a bit worried and suggested to Samuel that they go with Barry Allen to see. If they couldn't persuade Farooq Gibran, they could at least provide backup and save Barry.
Samuel agreed. He knew Barry would be fine, it was just going through the motions.
However, the Police Department could let the Outsider Squad make an appearance and get some action.
Before long, Central City's metahuman criminals would become more and more numerous, and the Flash would officially enter the public eye, becoming the symbol of this city. So, letting the Outsiders also participate would naturally bring corresponding benefits.
Anyway, from a stance perspective, both Samuel and the Outsider Squad he formed could be considered chaotic neutral. If handled well, they could completely compete with the Flash for business and take in some metahuman criminals they were interested in.
Don't forget, he also has the Birds of Prey and the New Suicide Squad in the Justice League Universe, especially the New Suicide Squad, which is severely short-handed.
And Central City is the last place that lacks metahuman criminals!
