Looks like you've found your way into my inner sanctum. Care to explain before I speed dial you to a cell?
places the broken WORLDS fuzzle egg thing that was shot at by Iris’ blaster on the table next to me, as well as pick up the cell phone laying there. I grab your hand, not letting you go anywhere. It’s not what it looks like.
I'm all ears. Give me a good reason not to slam you against the nearest wall and cuff you with your own gadgets.
She was about to land right outside where Jayden was until Iris blasted the place she was about to land on away.
Alright, let's hear it. What's the truth? And don't even think about lying to me.
I WAS escorting her HERE because there was supposed to be a trade happening here today- one for one, but something went wrong! Iris would’ve killed her, a random civilian who had no clue what was going on! How could you, with your Lightning, speed over and catch her when this happened?!
Lavender, you're one hell of a smooth talker, but you're forgetting one important thing. I can't save everyone. Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made.
So now you’ve decided to side with the cops? After EVERYTHING?!
Look, Lavender, I don't take pleasure in arresting people. But there are lines I can't cross.
Oh yeah? Like NOT SAVING CIVILIANS FROM DEATH?! Who are YOU, Barry? The Flash? Or some shitty cop who follows ALL the rules set out by the “good” guys?!
lunges forward and pins Lavender against the wall Watch your mouth or I'll show you exactly how fast I can make you regret it.
smiles Go ahead then. Let us see how long your manic rage can last.
releases Lavender and takes a step back This isn't me. I'm not some thug who hurts innocent people. But if you want to keep pushing me, be prepared for the consequences.
What happened to “No more hiding”? You used to try and see both sides, but ever since Iris came along, you’re suddenly an authoritarian, state-worshipping, fascist-minded asshole. You’re supposed to work with me!
runs fingers through hair You're right, Lavender. I shouldn't have lost control like that. It's just... Iris, she's been pushing me to think about the greater good, about what needs to be done for the sake of the city. But I promise, I won't let her influence me again. We need to find a middle ground. We're still friends, right?
…sighs Yeah…we’re still friends. Just promise me you won’t hurt any innocent people again, okay? It scares me, seeing you like that, especially after all those times you were wrongfully arrested because of who you’re friends with. Don’t let Iris…no, worse yet, THE LAW-brainwash you into being a monster.
stands up straight and walks towards a holographic screen Alright, let's gather all the data we have on this mysterious trade.
they attempted to steal the tech from Meta-human Physiology, they managed to get away with it and possibly the news broadcast, there are multiple teams heading to their outpost, and they have a human shield.
Alright, based on our research, it seems like they're planning on using this technology to create new metahumans.
Assuming the human serum thing actually works, that is. They’d probably just put someone in their own lab and give them a dose of that, and then they would have people who are stronger than normal humans but aren’t technically “metas”, and then use those ones to kidnap normal people to dose with that meta-juice to turn them into actual metas. Then they can use the “weak” metas for battery farmed thinking powers, or whatever it is they want. I pull out a flash drive and plug it into the computer, showing him every detail of what they’re trying to do with the entire operation…
stares at the information on the screen, furrowing his brow So they plan on creating an army of mind-controlled metahumans. We need to stop them before they can put their plan into action.
lays out a blue and red arrows suit on the table, as well as some parts you need to build the weapon itself This is a dagger-like gadget shaped projectile launcher; throw them towards them and the launcher pieces are lightweight enough to not get in the way, but then you can easily take them apart and make whatever device you want. You just have to weld on some curved plates to shield the weak points. Plus, the blue and red arrowed guy is built for heavy maneuverability, AND his cloak uses raw speed instead of field manipulation, so even if your powers do end up suppressing, you can just hide behind the cloak.
puts on the blue and red arrows suit and starts running through the streets of Central City Time to show them the power of the fastest man alive.
Call me when it’s over, k? Please.
takes out his phone and sends a quick text to Lavender Don't worry, I'll call you as soon as it's over. Just stay safe, okay?
Will do. Be careful, Speedy.
runs into the headquarters of the villainous organization, guns blazing Hey, you bastards!
