Bette Sans Souci grunts as she feels a sharp headache. She looks up with hazy eyes and sees two men watching her.
One's a handsome, tall man, and the other is short with long hair, holding a gun, or at least that's what it looks like.
Seeing that a gun is being pointed at her, she immediately gets back on her feet and backs off, trying to defend herself.
She frantically looked around for something to touch and throw at her attackers, but finding nothing in sight, she looked at the wall and then at Barry and Cisco.
If she is going to die, she is going to take her attackers with her. She charged towards the wall, wanting to turn the whole thing into a bomb,
"Oh shit!" Barry realized what she was about to do and entered Flash time. He immediately ran up to her and knocked her out before she could even touch anything.
Before her body could hit the floor, Barry grabbed her.
"Phew, that was close," Barry says, looking at Cisco.
"Why did you do that?" Cisco asks.
"Did you forget what she can do? She was about to turn this whole chamber into a bomb," Barry explains.
"I... totally forgot about that," Cisco says, and he lowers his Cerebral Nullifier.
"Let's get her upstairs and restrain her so that she doesn't try to blow us up again when she gets up," Barry suggests.

Half an hour later, Bette wakes up groggy again, and this time she finds herself on a lab bed with her hands and legs tied up.
She struggles to break free but is not strong enough to do so.
"Calm down, we aren't going to hurt you," Barry says as he walks into her field of vision.
Bette looks at Barry, it's the same man she saw last time. She remembered trying to blow everything up, but then it all went blank.
She looks around and sees a few more people: a woman, a man in a wheelchair, and the guy with the long hair who was previously pointing a gun at her.
"Who are you people? Where am I? Let me go, right now!" She demands.
"Miss Souci, please calm down. You are at S.T.A.R. Labs. My name is Dr Harrison Wells. The reason we have restrained you is to stop you from turning everything into a bomb," Wells explains.
"What do you want?" Bette asks as she realizes she is in an unescapable situation. She looks down at her hands and sees that they are gloved, which is preventing her from using her powers.
"We want you help you. Do you remember what happened to you? Do you even know why you are here?" Barry asks.
Betty looks at Barry again. She wants to argue, but as Barry's question enters her thoughts, she pauses.
She doesn't remember anything.
"I was... I was at an army medical facility... I was a test subject... but then... I don't remember..." Betty says as she tries to remember more.
"How about I free you from those restraints, and in return, I hope you don't try to turn things into a bomb, okay?" Barry asks, making eye contact with Betty, trying to build trust.
She doesn't completely trust Barry, but she would rather be free of any restraints right now. She nods her head.
Barry approaches Betty and releases her restraints, allowing her to sit up. She rubs her wrist and looks around. The woman and the man with the long hair are the only ones who look worried. As for the man before her and the one in the wheelchair, they don't seem bothered.
"Thank you..." Betty says, rubbing her wrist to ease the irritation on her wrist.
"It's okay, please continue. You said you were a test subject," Barry lets her continue with her story.
Betty looks around, worried, but seeing that the people before her have no intention to hurt her, she tries to remember what happened to her.
"It all started when that explosion covered the sky..." Betty starts explaining how, after the particle accelerator exploded, she realized that she had the power to turn anything into a bomb.
Thinking that it's the military who did this to her, she went to confront them, only to be turned into a test subject. They promised her they would fix her, but the only thing they did was experiment on her. When she realized that they couldn't help her and that they were not the ones who turned her into the thing she is, she tried to run away, but got captured.
The military then locked her up and started treating her as nothing but an object for them to run more tests on.
"One day, there was suddenly this storm of red lightning. I saw military scientists who were experimenting on me go flying... and then... and then... I don't remember anything from then on..." Betty says, clutching her head, trying to remember, but she couldn't draw anything but blank.
"You saw a red lightning storm?" Barry asks. "Yes, it came in and ripped through everything and everyone before I lost consciousness..." Betty says.
Barry looks at his team as they all can figure out what happened after that.
