Chapter 480: Caitlin's worry and the new target, Turtle Man (Third update, please subscribe!)

~7 min read 1,222 words

Pipe prison.

Everyone watched as the unconscious Farooq Gibran was locked into a cell that could contain superpowers, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Yes, Barry Allen won; he defeated Farooq Gibran.

Everyone thought he did a beautiful job, restored his speed, defeated the enemy, and saved everyone.

However—Su Quan only felt that he had been broken.

Do you know how Barry Allen won?

I dodge, I dodge, I dodge, dodge, dodge!

He stood there and dodged several electric current attacks, and then was caught by Farooq Gibran with electric current, directly hit into a stun, and had his energy sucked again!

If it weren't for the fact that after regaining his speed, his speed and body were more tightly connected, which affected Farooq Gibran's absorption ability, causing his ability to overload and pass out, Barry Allen would have most likely had his speed sucked away like last time!

What made you think that just restoring your speed would be enough to defeat the opponent?

You just restored your speed, you didn't become stronger, and you didn't know the opponent's weakness!

Damn it, you couldn't win even when you hadn't lost your speed, okay?

Even if you are leveling up by fighting monsters, you have to follow the basic laws; you have to level up too!

You didn't level up, you just recovered to full health, and you felt that you could win now when you couldn't win before? You started to be full of confidence, started to act cocky?

MDZZ!

Maybe it's because he's been with the Outsiders team recently, but now that he's suddenly back with the Flash team, Su Quan is very uncomfortable. He admires Dr. Harrison Wells more and more now.

How does he endure Barry's stupidity?

On the way back to the surface, Caitlin keenly discovered that Su Quan's mood seemed a bit wrong.

Having escaped death and caught a super-powered criminal, everyone's mood was very relaxed and happy, but only Su Quan's mood wasn't that high, as if he were a bit unhappy.

Caitlin held Su Quan's hand and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? I feel like you seem a bit unhappy?"

Su Quan smiled dismissively, shook his head and said: "I'm not unhappy; I just don't understand Barry's choice."

Caitlin asked in confusion: "What choice?"

Su Quan stopped and said seriously: "Caitlin, you are very important. The meaning of this sentence is that even if we don't meet or contact each other, I will always leave a place in my heart to safely keep you."

Caitlin was stunned for a moment and said somewhat nervously: "You saying that makes me very happy, but it also makes me very worried. You—are you going to leave? Where are you going?"

"Are you going to Starling City? I, I know you often go to Starling City, and I also know you have, have friends there, and I also know about Felicity. I don't mind."

"No, I mind. What I mean is, you know my feelings for you. Unless you don't want me anymore, I will always be by your side, like before, once, and again."

Su Quan was also stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly: "You saying that also makes me very happy, but you misunderstood my meaning."

"What I want to say is, you are very important, so if you encounter danger, I will do whatever it takes, by any means necessary, to kill the other party to ensure your safety. And Barry—"

"I know he cares about us, cares about us, but many times his choices are always to give up those simple, effective, and direct methods. In the situation just now, if it were me, I wouldn't change into a uniform, nor would I stand in front of Farooq."

"You, what would you do?"

"After saving the doctor, I would rush directly behind Farooq and snap his neck! Caitlin, Barry isn't as strong as he imagines. Remember? He failed before, but he didn't learn his lesson. He just restored his speed; he didn't become stronger!"

Caitlin nodded: "I think you can tell him this. You are friends, aren't you? Friends should help each other and trust each other."

Su Quan had always felt that being friends with superheroes was interesting, but now—he felt that being Barry's friend wasn't necessarily interesting. On the contrary, being his enemy seemed more interesting.

He will save you, help you, no matter when, he will never give up on you.

Barry Allen seems to enjoy and crave the sense of achievement he gets after helping others, so he became a hero. Whether it's a good person or a bad person, he will try his best to help them and save them.

Caitlin saw Su Quan just smile, so she changed the subject and asked: "Do you want to go to my house in a while? Or, go to our house?"

Su Quan shook his head: "Another day. I've been a bit busy lately."

"Alright."

Caitlin nodded and didn't force it.

"I'm leaving first. You tell them." Su Quan hugged Caitlin and smiled, lowering his head to kiss her.

After a while, the two separated, and Su Quan left S. T. A. R. Labs.

……

Secret House villa.

After Su Quan finished showering, he put on a loose bathrobe and came to Brie Larvan's room.

Her room was decorated like a small studio. At this time, she was sitting in front of the computer, not knowing what she was researching.

"Something up?"

Brie Larvan looked at him pretending to be calm, and quickly turned back to continue operating the computer.

Su Quan sat on the edge of her bed and said with a smile: "You guys performed very well today, but—"

"But what?" Brie Larvan turned around to look at him.

Su Quan said seriously: "The overall strength of the Outsiders team is still a bit weak. This time the target was just an ordinary person, but what if it's a super-powered individual? A super-powered individual with very strong strength?"

"Your mechanical bees and Bette's bombs will always have times when they don't work."

Brie Larvan curled her lips and said confidently: "No matter what kind of opponent, we will come up with a solution. To be precise, it's me! I will come up with a solution!"

In the current three-person team setup, Brie Larvan's positioning is technical and remote support, as well as action command.

Su Quan had injected her and Lisa with the Super Soldier Serum, but because of personality or other reasons, even though they were both super soldiers, Lisa would win ten out of ten times!

The strengthening effect of the serum is the same, but the differences in personal strength and personality will lead to different combat effectiveness.

"Russell Glosson, codename Turtle Man."

Su Quan said a name with a smile: "Catch him. I'm very interested in his ability."

Brie Larvan raised her eyebrows: "I will send him to you."

"Is that so?"

"I'll wait and see."

Su Quan patted the side of the bed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

……

PS: Honestly, I haven't followed DC TV shows for a long time. Now I've started following them from the beginning. Many details have been forgotten for too long, and it's easy to have bugs. Currently, I'm following up to Season 3.
