Chapter 1535 Artificial Dry Ice (Happy Holidays)
"Between superpowers and love, he has to choose one. This is fair, isn't it?"
Offscreen, Peter Quill couldn't help but laugh and joked.
Billy Batson quietly glanced at Barry the Flash next to him and complained: "You will miss a lot of things if you are comatose for too long."
Barry could only shrug his shoulders. Anyway, the Barry in the future video was not him in the future timeline, but the Flash from another parallel universe. His interpersonal relationships were completely different, so there was nothing to care about.
In the Back to the Future video, Barry and Iris talk about this relationship on the road. Iris hopes that Barry can keep it a secret for her because she hasn't told her father Joe yet.
Barry was already very depressed, and after hearing these words, he naturally became even more depressed. He immediately protested, and at this moment, a speeding police car crashed into him!
Fortunately, Barry Allen reacted very quickly and pulled Iris out of the way, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
The police car did not do so on purpose, but simply lost control while pursuing another vehicle.
After Barry glanced at the speeding car, he chased after it without saying a word. He was so fast that he caught up with the car in a blink of an eye, and even got into the passenger seat while the driver of the car was stunned.
The person who fled in this car was no stranger to Barry. He was the suspect he had been investigating before - Clyde Martin.
Barry was very surprised and surprised. Didn't this guy crash and die in an accident a few months ago?
Not long ago, Barry learned about this moment from his adoptive father Joe. A few months ago, when an accident occurred in the Star Laboratory, Joe and his partner went to a farm to capture this Clyde Martin. Unexpectedly, this The gangster was so daring that he shot and killed Joe's partner during the chase, and then boarded a pesticide plane in an attempt to escape.
Just at this time, the laboratory's quantum collider exploded, and the pesticide plane was affected and crashed on the spot. Barry had seen the wanted poster photo of the other party, and it was really clear that the gangster driving in front of him was Martin!
Martin was naturally very surprised by Barry's sudden 'visit', so he accidentally overturned the car. Barry staggered out of the car and saw that the other party had actually summoned the mist, and he was even more shocked. .
"Wow, I understand!" Peter Quill snapped his fingers outside the screen: "The radiation from the quantum collider not only gave Barry superpowers, but also created other superpowers! Well, this makes me Thinking of a certain Hulk.”
Billy Batson asked with interest: "Then what is this guy's ability? Um, artificial dry ice?"
"Hahaha... You are really good at metaphors. Artificial dry ice is so apt." Star-Lord laughed and slapped his thigh.
Flash Barry couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "No, no, it shouldn't be that useless. I doubt he can change the weather. Well, it should be local weather."
In the video from the future, Clyde Martin suddenly disappears in a cloud of smoke.
Not long after, Joe came over. When he saw Barry, he stepped forward and blamed: "Why did you bring Iris out?" It was obviously because Barry was blamed for causing Iris to almost be in danger.
Barry Allen, it’s hard to admit that your daughter is in a relationship with your co-star, right?
Besides, there were more important things to talk about, so he pulled Joe aside and only said that Clyde Martin was still alive!
He did not reveal that he had superpowers, but only hinted that the changes in Joe and Clyde Martin might be related to the accident at the Star Laboratory a few months ago.
Because during this period, another gangster appeared in the city. He was very arrogant. Every time he escaped from the police, the weather helped him. It was either windy or raining.
Combined with the Clyde Martin summoning the fog he just saw, Barry Allen speculated that the gangster who has been committing crimes in the city unscrupulously recently is this Clyde Martin!
The other party obviously also has supernatural abilities.
Barry's deduction was sound and well-founded, but Joe didn't believe a word of it and just felt that Barry was 'sick' again.
"Martin is dead! There is no such thing as controlling the weather! Barry, just like when there was an accident at your house that night, there was no lightning storm at all. It was because you were too young and frightened. Because of the stress, you created these fantasies to help you face it. Reality."
Joe was also in a bad mood during this time, and he couldn't help but settle old scores.
When Barry heard this, he immediately replied: "My dad didn't kill my mom!"
"Your dad killed your mom! Barry, I'm sorry, kid. But I know it and the jury knows it..." Joe West undoubtedly opened the scars on Barry's heart.
Barry couldn't stay any longer and turned to leave. And just as he was walking away, Joe's partner Eddie Swan came over.
He brought over a wanted notice written by an eyewitness. The person on it looked very similar to Martin who had already burped, and now Joe was a little dumbfounded.
On the other side, Barry wasn't too angry. After all, he had something to hide from his adoptive father Joe, so it was normal for the other party to have misunderstandings.
Barry Allen went to the Star Laboratory to find Dr. Wells and asked him about the truth about the explosion of the quantum collider that night. He suspected that Martin's superpowers were related to that explosion!
Dr. Wells did not hide it from him, telling him that the explosion that night produced strong radiation, and almost the entire city was swept by radiation. They were still unable to determine how many people were exposed to the radiation.
If this kind of radiation can cause mutations in the human body and allow people to gain superpowers, then Clyde Martin is the first radiation superpower that Barry has seen besides himself.
The difference is that Barry is kind-hearted, while Martin is a violent criminal who has always been a headache for the police. Now that he has acquired superpowers, he has instantly evolved into a super criminal, which is not something that ordinary police can deal with.
Barry Allen's brain was instantly filled with a sense of justice, and he felt that a mission had fallen on his head: "We must catch them!"
"No, this is the job of the police." Dr. Wells shook his head to dissuade him.
Barry Allen was very puzzled: "But I am a policeman!"
"You are just a forensic assistant." Dr. Wells emphasized.
Hearing this, Barry stepped forward and shouted: "You are also responsible for the whole thing!"
"I have nothing left, no career, no reputation, no freedom. But you are different, Barry, you broke your arm, and it recovered in less than three hours.
In your body, in your cells, there are maps to completely new gene therapies, vaccines, drugs and wealth!
Barry, we can't take such risks just because you want to be a hero... You are not a hero, just a young man struck by lightning!"
Dr. Wells's persuasion seemed very rational and completely reasonable.
