"Ah!"
Cisco jumped, his face a little pale.
Seeing it was Lin Li, Cisco let out a breath.
"Lin Li, you scared me to death. You walk without a sound."
"There's a saying in the East: 'If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid in the middle of the night.' What are you hiding here for?"
Lin Li asked curiously.
Cisco immediately stood in front of his items, stammering, "No, nothing at all. Just doing some small research."
Lin Li pointed at the item peeking out from behind Cisco, smiling, "Cisco, no need to hide it. I saw it. Is that a red suit?"
He was discovered.
Cisco let go and whispered to Lin Li, "Lin Li, don't tell Dr. Wells or Caitlin about this."
Lin Li walked over to the workbench and found it was a red The Flash suit.
"This suit is made of reinforced tri-block polymer. It's heat-resistant and durable. What do you think, cool or not?"
Cisco said proudly.
Lin Li picked up the suit to examine it. The texture was somewhat rubbery. He rubbed it with his hand, then twisted it, and pulled it with a little force. The suit was tough, its elasticity was perfectly fine, and the quality was excellent.
Lin Li said meaningfully, "So, you've been providing backup for Barry these past few days?"
Cisco's triumphant expression stopped, and he rolled his eyes.
"How is that possible? How could I help Barry…?"
Facing Lin Li's smiling, direct gaze.
Cisco couldn't keep it up.
He said readily, "Alright, it's me. This is too cool, I couldn't refuse."
Lin Li shook the suit. "This suit is good. Barry will definitely love it. He's burned through several pairs of shoes and clothes because he runs too fast."
"Lin Li, do you think so too? Our The Flash League is about to gain another member. Lin Li, don't worry, once I finish Barry's suit, I'll make one for you too."
Cisco said excitedly. The experience of being a behind-the-scenes assistant to a superhero made him very exhilarated.
Lin Li quickly interjected, "No, I need to study technological knowledge and train my lightning abilities so I can find my way home soon. I don't have time to fight crime like Barry."
Cisco said, disappointed, "Oh, that's too bad. You would be a very cool superhero too."
Lin Li rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't be so disappointed. Hurry up and finish so you can sleep. I'll help you. I see you haven't rested well for several days; your lips are a bit pale. If you keep staying up like this, your body won't be able to handle it."
"It's nothing. Now there are only the built-in sensors, the headphones that can resist the sonic boom noise caused by Barry's movement, and a symbol on the chest left."
Cisco said confidently. Staying up all night for several days to create it was an enjoyment for him.
Lin Li made an OK gesture and said, "I'll do the built-in sensors and the symbol; you do the headphones."
Cisco also made an OK gesture, and the two collaborated to complete The Flash's suit.
During this time, Lin Li had been holding his tablet and learning a lot of technological knowledge with his super-speed thinking. Sometimes during the day, he would also tinker with small inventions with Cisco and frequently ask Dr. Wells technical questions. For a built-in sensor, he completed it relatively easily.
The positive-negative electromagnetic inductive loop sensor was a small gadget Lin Li invented using his electromagnetic induction ability, which sounds very complex in scientific terms.
Simply put, it's a very stable sensor that can effectively detect body conditions from a biological magnetic field.
This is very suitable for Barry. The more Barry moves and the faster he runs, the more the electrons inside the sensor rotate, and the clearer and stronger the signal will be to monitor Barry's body. The symbol, on the other hand, was designed by Lin Li with external magnetic field detection and gravitational magnetic field, which would be very useful for Barry.
In less than half an hour, both of them were finished.
They directly installed them onto The Flash suit and put the suit on a mannequin.
Cisco was already imagining Barry's heroic figure speeding through Central City in this suit, leaving behind the legend of that red phantom.
Cisco and Lin Li both looked at the suit with a touch of emotion. They had created a superhero.
Morning.
It was very early.
Not yet 7 AM, having gone to bed at 3 AM last night.
That meant only four hours of sleep for Cisco, who had been pulling all-nighters for several days.
With slightly bloodshot eyes, he looked refreshed and energetic as he knocked on Lin Li's room door.
Ever since Lin Li was struck by lightning, he actually only needed one hour of sleep each day to fully replenish his energy. However, he still habitually lay in bed for six hours: one hour of very deep sleep, and the remaining five hours spent sensing his body to control every part of it.
"Lin Li, wake up quickly! I've already called Barry over. Get up now and witness the birth of The Flash!"
Cisco's face was flushed with excitement; he was practically in a state of euphoria.
The two went directly to the control room lobby, where Barry was already waiting in casual clothes.
Cisco, with a beaming smile, said to Lin Li and Barry, "Gentlemen, The Flash is officially born at this moment, this second! I'll officiate, any objections?"
Lin Li and Barry both chuckled and clapped their hands, then said they had no objections.
Cisco excitedly muttered to himself, "This is truly thrilling! This moment must be recorded."
Then he took out his phone, started recording, and placed it on a table where it could capture everyone.
Then he walked over to a steel mannequin that was facing away from Lin Li and Barry. The mannequin was wearing The Flash suit.
"Everyone."
"The Flash is born at this moment: The Flash suit."
Cisco turned the mannequin around, facing Barry and Lin Li.
Barry, who had been standing with his arms crossed, let them drop. He looked at Cisco and Lin Li, deeply moved. This feeling of being acknowledged and having his values affirmed warmed his heart.
Cisco said with a smile, "Try it on! The Flash."
Lin Li patted Barry's shoulder and said, "Go on, Cisco has been working on this for you for several nights straight."
Cisco rubbed his nose, looking a bit embarrassed, "Lin Li also helped last night; otherwise, it wouldn't be finished today."
Barry opened his arms and embraced Lin Li and Cisco, saying emotionally, "Thank you. Besides Joe and Iris, no one has ever done so much for me."
After the embrace, they separated.
Yellow electrical arcs surrounded the mannequin, and a red figure appeared before them.
"Hey, guys, this fits perfectly! Cisco, thank you so much! Lin Li, thank you!"
Barry was wearing the tight red suit, with a circular red background and yellow lightning bolt on his chest, a cowl covering the upper half of his face, revealing his eyes, and lightning-bolt earpieces.
Cisco was extremely excited, shouting, "Barry, The Flash, go fast!"
Lin Li looked at Barry with a warm smile, feeling very touched. This was The Flash—Barry embodying justice, kindness, and fighting crime as a superhero.
