Marvel's Speedster

The blue light was shining in the measurement room, and countless electric lights surrounded Ross's body as he walked on the special treadmill, and the mileage numbers on the statistics screen were also rising rapidly.

"The speed of 6,000 miles per hour...has reached hypersonic speed, passing Mach 7.88!" Through the transparent observation window, Eliza and others exclaimed frequently outside.

Hypersonic speed refers to the movement speed of objects exceeding 5 times the speed of sound (that is, Mach 5). There is no doubt that after exploring in this world, Ross has officially entered a higher level. At this level, even the cruise missiles currently in service in various countries cannot catch up with him, and the maximum speed that the sub-combustible ramjet can maintain is only about Mach 2, and the actual speed of most missiles is even doubled. Only an intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of more than five thousand miles and a speed of more than Mach 20 can catch him.

and----

"And this is not his limit, it's the limit of the test equipment. There should still be a lot of room for upwards. Don't forget, he hasn't loaded the tachyon booster yet!" Eliza's cheeks flushed, her hands Holding it tightly in front of the chest, the beautiful diamond-shaped eyes are shining.

Although Eliza had defeated The Flash a month ago, it was the result of a sneak attack with a speed-reducing gun, and she herself was not proud of it. In Eliza's heart, she is more eager to have the same ability as Ross, to run freely at high speed like him, and to speed up her study and research. For this reason, she is developing a speed drug, and Caitlin is also assisting , Ross promised to assign a research team to her after returning to "533" to help Eliza become the best leader in this field.

But for her admiration, it is not without other opinions.

"But according to Harrison, the Speed ​​Force should be red or yellow, just like Barry, who is most closely associated with the Speed ​​Force. According to his research, every time Barry takes a step, the Speed ​​Force will be generated and affected. Through running, the Speed ​​Force will create a kinetic energy wall in the form of electric energy between the present and the time barrier, and connect with every part of reality through it..."

Kaitlyn frowned slightly to express her dissent. She had also read the notes compiled by Ross, and she still remembered the paper on Reverse Lightning. If Harrison's point of view is correct, then Ross's power is somewhat specious. features, and at the same time somewhat elusive differences.

"He also said that the Speed ​​Force cannot be copied, enhanced, or transferred, so where does his Speed ​​Force come from?" Eliza disagreed. "Don't forget, we are scientists. It is our duty to discover problems, solve mysteries, find the laws behind phenomena, and turn the impossible into the possible. What's the difference between the monkeys?"

Her rhetoric has always been sharp, and her rebuttals have left the mild-mannered Caitlin speechless.

After a simple test, Barry replaced Ross. He was not for speed measurement, but for charging the speed force battery developed by using the kinetic energy absorption characteristics of the turtle man.

The red figure swayed, the golden light flickered, and soon the cloudy golden halo in the transparent battery began to rise slowly, which meant that the energy contained in it was also growing

After all, the Speed ​​Force is a product of this world. Ross wondered whether the power without its source would gradually dry up after returning to the original world, so he prepared these energy storage batteries in advance, which were enough for him and Eliza to study.

Barry ran fast on the treadmill, and didn't stop until he was panting and his heart was beating. Originally, this kind of work was exhausting, but Ross's requirements were not strict. The charging task could be divided into several times within a few weeks. After the run, he supplemented his nutrition reasonably. He even formulated a diet specially for Barry. He drank functional drinks and ate junk food such as fast food, and replaced it with high-calorie and high-protein foods. In addition, there are various small biscuits and pastries with exquisite shapes and rich nutrition.

For Sisko and others, daily routine work is equivalent to a gourmet appreciation party where you can open up your appetite and munch on it. The table is densely packed with all kinds of snacks

Drink as much as you want, and take away the biscuits as you like. Even ladies who value their figure often can't help but sneak a few to satisfy their inner desire for sweets.

This period of time is also quite comfortable for Barry.

Different from his initial worries, Ross after taking off the mask is not difficult to get along with, as long as he does what he asks, the speedster from Otherworld is a very generous employer, not only in terms of remuneration, but also in terms of Ability Get his advice. Now Barry feels that his speed is much faster than before, and he can see the data rising little by little with a trend discernible to the naked eye every day. Although the increase is not drastic and the curve is not shocking, the progress is real, every day Progress can be clearly felt.

The work of the police station is not delayed, and the time is very loose. After get off work, the cutting-edge laboratory cooperates with the experiment, and they can still receive a very generous salary. For Barry, it is like finding another part-time job. Even Alice, who works at Midtown Daily, expressed her envy many times.

Unknowingly, Ross has completely replaced Harrison's position, the dilapidated institution is running again, and the whole laboratory revolves around his will, as if he is not an intruder who forcibly occupied the place by force, but a well-deserved the master.

After two runs, the last battery was fully charged. Barry still couldn't get enough of it. He poured his head back and filled his mouth with snacks. At the same time, he asked Ross if he wanted to replace it with a new battery. Can run a few more times.

But Ross gave an unexpected answer.

"No, Barry, the experiment is over, thank you for your efforts.

Barry was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly his mind was at a loss.

In Barry's consciousness, he always felt that the experiment would go on forever, and never thought that it would come to an end so soon.

After Harrison's identity was exposed, the original trust in the laboratory disappeared. As the spiritual leader, Harrison's existence is irreplaceable to Barry, Sisko and Caitlin, and everyone respects him. It is difficult to accept that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, who has been hiding behind the scenes and manipulating the fate of everyone.

Just when they were at a loss, Ross temporarily made up for the vacancy in their hearts, which seemed to give them a rare buffer period, but now that the buffer period is finally over, they recalled that the relationship between the two is not ordinary friends, strict As far as they are concerned, they are just Ross's captives.

"Are you going back now, with Eliza and the others?" Barry asked sadly.

"I have my career and my friends, I'm used to life there, Eliza and Bree have nothing to worry about, they're all going to leave with me, definitely and Patty, I'm not going to leave her alone again People live." Ross replied casually, and opened the door of the measurement room.

People outside also heard their conversation.

"Where is Felicity? Oliver calls every day to inquire." Sisko interrupted and asked.

"I'm going to send her to teach a student, and when she finishes her work, I will naturally send her back, otherwise she will stay in my world forever and work hard for me." Ross replied without hesitation. Skye's growth is quite slow, and she hopes that the seniors in another world can give her some help.

Hearing what Ross said, the three of them were slightly relieved, and they no longer looked so lost.

"Is there a cutting-edge laboratory in your world, is there The Flash, is there anyone like me and Sisko?" Caitlin asked expectantly with her beautiful big eyes flashing, and there seemed to be something strange in her eyes Emotions.

"I'm sorry, we are not a parallel world. In my world, Spider-man is the superhero fighting crime. Iron Man is our Atom. Definitely their personalities are very different. Mr. Barton and Green Arrow have the same skills, except There is also nothing in common, our specialties are superhero and Mutant, similar to Batman in Gotham and Superman in Metropolis not long ago, but there is no The Flash and Sisko, and definitely no Caitlyn."

"If you talk about similarities, I think the biggest thing in common is that both worlds have cutting-edge laboratories, but in my world, Mr. Harrison Wells never existed, and Ross‧Byrne is the cutting-edge laboratory The founder of the studio---that's me..." Ross raised his thumb and pointed to his chest, his expression did not hide his inner pride.

Barry and others were amazed. They couldn't figure out why Ross, who was about the same age, would go so far when he was working for others.

They chatted very late that day, until the church bell rang in the distance, and Barry and others stood up to say goodbye.

"Is there anything else?" Before leaving, Ross saw that Barry hesitated to speak.

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel very tired." Barry wrapped his coat tightly, as if he was very cold.

"I went to see Harrison in the morning and he laughed at me for ten minutes, even though he was in the cell and I was standing outside the door, I felt like I didn't really win, my mom used to say the world wouldn't People get something for nothing, I get what I want, but it doesn't work because I'm never really happy, Harrison knows me, and he's always right."

"If he knows everything, how come I'm in jail now?" Ross teased.

"Fate is not always the same. Even if you can't choose your life, at least you can choose your attitude. Have you heard this song?"

He pointed at Sisko, who was about to go out, and Sisko was singing an outrageous rock music loudly, causing Caitlin to keep rolling his eyes at him.

"No, I rarely pay attention to pop music." Barry smiled shyly and shrugged his shoulders self-deprecatingly.

"The song isn't good, but the lyrics are good." Ross glanced at Barry lightly, then stretched his fingertips into the distance.

"The vastness of life can only be felt through hardships. Even if blood is spilled on our arms, fate cannot make us kneel down and beg for mercy.... Run Barry, keep running, run forward, keep running

The light and shadow separated, and the lights quickly passed to both sides. Barry ran at high speed in the crowd of cars, and Ross's voice kept echoing in his ears.

That night, Barry had an extremely real dream. After waking up, he almost forgot all about the dream, only remembering that he was running in the mist, running out of the haze that shrouded his life, and running towards the vast blue sky. Sky.

The next day was the weekend, and Barry didn't have to go to work at the Midtown Police Station. He came to the laboratory to report early. When he walked into the gate, he found that Caitlin had arrived earlier than him and Sisko, and was waiting by the elevator in advance to go upstairs.

"Come so early?" Barry suddenly patted her 5.5 shoulders from behind. He was just saying hello as usual, but Caitlin trembled like a guilty conscience, almost jumping from the ground.

"Barry!" Caitlin yelled reproachfully. "You almost scared me to death!"

She clutched her chest tightly, as if her heart was still beating wildly.

"What are you doing here so early?" Barry asked with a smile.

Caitlin's eyes wandered: "I have some questions and I want to ask Ross for advice.

"Really?" Barry looked at her with a grin.

Caitlin was ashamed and annoyed, and chased after him with her handbag, making a gesture to hit him, and the two of them got together.

Da Nao got into the elevator and came to the control center.

It was quiet upstairs, there was no familiar figure of Ross in front of his eyes, nor could he hear Eliza's unscrupulous yelling, and even Bree's machines that often wandered around in the corridor

The bees all disappeared without a trace.

With a flash of golden light, Barry searched the building.

"Maybe they went somewhere else." He said uncertainly.

Caitlin shook her head and said nothing.

The originally eager mood suddenly cooled down. She bit her lip and walked into the room where Ross usually lives.

The room is unusually quiet, there is a small USB flash drive on the table, other than that there is no other movement, the owner is not here, as if no one has ever existed.

With a rustle in her ear, Caitlin slowly turned her cheek.

A gust of wind blew by, and the snow-white window screens were lifted gently.

The sun is shining brightly outside the window. .
