"Dr. Wells, I wasn't being reckless. There are just some things I have to do, and can do. Just now, there were over a dozen lives, even children. If I didn't save them, their lives would have been lost. Do they really have to die?"
Barry said sternly. He always believed he did the right thing, and what he was supposed to do.
Dr. Wells smiled and said, "Barry, know your limits."
Caitlin slammed a file down on the computer desk, pointed at Barry, and said sharply, "Don't expect me to help you every time your body gets messed up."
With that, Caitlin turned and left the main hall control room.
Caitlin finally understood why Barry had been getting fractures and various injuries all over his body these past few days. Each time, he'd brushed her off with the excuse of being unfamiliar with his powers. It wasn't until she accidentally stumbled upon their operation today that she realized what was going on.
Actually, she wasn't angry that Barry was saving people and doing good deeds. She was angry that Barry never considered his own body, and didn't tell her. If she had been there, monitoring Barry's physical symptoms, at least when Barry got injured, she could have treated him properly at any time. But the way the men seemed to form an independent front made her very unhappy, as if she was being excluded.
The men looked at each other. Wells apologized to Barry and Lin Li, saying, "Caitlin suffered a lot of psychological damage after the particle accelerator explosion. Please don't mind her."
Barry frowned in confusion and asked, "The particle accelerator explosion caused her psychological damage?"
Cisco said with a wry smile, "It's better if she talks about that herself. We all hope she can come out of the shadows."
Dr. Wells suddenly turned to Lin Li and said, "Lin Li, please, go check on Caitlin."
Lin Li, who had been watching the drama unfold, was suddenly startled. Why drag him into this? He didn't quite understand.
Lin Li asked, "What? Why me?"
He was very perplexed. This kind of thing should definitely be done by Barry. In the TV show, it was also Barry and Cisco who helped Caitlin move on from her sadness. There was no reason for him to go now. He also didn't know how to comfort girls; even with his girlfriend, she was the one who pursued him first.
"Because you and Caitlin have been chatting more lately, and she's not as cold-faced."
Cisco, with a smile, pushed Lin Li's back, trying to get him out of the main hall control room. However, after a few pushes, Lin Li didn't budge. Finally, Lin Li rolled his eyes in resignation and voluntarily walked out of the control room hall, chasing after Caitlin.
"Alright."
Although they said Caitlin and Lin Li had been chatting more lately, it was only about biology and Lin Li's physical body. Suddenly changing the topic to comfort a woman who had lost her fiancé made him feel very troubled.
He went through several research rooms and found Caitlin in Surgery.
Surgery was originally used for studying biological particle reactions. Since the particle accelerator explosion, Lin Li and Barry, two patients, had been housed here, and it gradually transformed into a kind of operating room.
Lin Li scratched his head, not knowing where to begin.
When Caitlin saw Lin Li come to Surgery, she thought he had another question about biology, because Lin Li had been asking a lot of questions in this area in recent days, and she was very surprised and impressed by Lin Li's learning speed, innovation, and creativity in various aspects.
"Lin Li, is something wrong?"
Still that unsmiling face. This is what they call not being so cold-faced? Lin Li highly suspected Cisco had eye problems.
Lin Li decided it was better to just ask honestly. As for comforting her, Barry would be better suited for that.
"Are you angry? About what happened just now? Or about us acting behind your back?"
"No, no one can control what you like to do."
Caitlin said with a cold expression. Any normal man would detect the hidden anger. At this point, if a man simply bowed his head, admitted his mistake, and promised the woman various unequal treaties, her anger could be quelled.
But Lin Li was not a normal man.
He said with a look of relief, "Oh, so you're not angry? That's great!"
Caitlin, with an expression that suggested he was an idiot, looked at Lin Li sideways and said, "Any normal man would see that I'm angry right now. I don't know if your smart brain is filled with water."
Lin Li was silent, on the verge of tears. He took a deep breath. Women are really hard to understand!
----
The scene cut back to the main hall control room.
Not long after Lin Li left, Dr. Wells asked Cisco and Barry, "What did you two do just now?"
The two recounted the entire process in detail.
Finally, Barry didn't forget to praise Cisco and Lin Li: "Lin Li and Cisco are truly amazing. Without their coordinated command and this little thing, today's rescue operation definitely wouldn't have been so easy."
Barry held the lightning emblem, full of admiration.
Dr. Wells controlled his wheelchair to Barry, signaling Barry to show him the lightning emblem.
Barry handed the lightning emblem to Dr. Wells and continued, "This biological gravity magnet is really useful. Under high-speed oscillation, it generates a gravitational magnetic field, attracting living beings to it. Because of this, we were able to quickly save over a dozen people today."
Cisco also praised it effusively, saying, "It's fantastic. Lin Li is truly a genius."
Wells carefully observed the lightning emblem, noticing a switch. He flipped the switch, aiming it at Cisco.
A faint suction emanated from the lightning emblem.
Cisco stumbled two steps forward.
He was very surprised: "This is really powerful. My body involuntarily wants to fly towards that lightning emblem."
Barry smiled brightly: "Right? Although it only has a range of thirty meters, it's really amazing."
Dr. Wells smiled and handed the lightning emblem back to Barry. He had figured out what it was.
Dr. Wells said with a smile, "Very good, this thing is really nice. Barry, be careful, and know your limits."
Barry was very happy that Wells didn't object to him. His idol's approval and the joy of saving lives made him beam.
"Okay, Dr. Wells, I'll be careful."
Wells smiled and left the main hall control room, controlling his wheelchair into the hallway, where no one could see him.
Wells's expression instantly darkened. That biological gravity magnet was definitely designed to deal with speedsters.
The one Barry had might still be very weak, but it was only an initial product. Wells estimated that this was Lin Li's experimental work, and in the future, there would definitely be more powerful applications of electromagnetic technology, far beyond this biological gravity magnet.
