Chapter 258: Low Taste

The discussion about what was in the newspaper did not last long.

"Is this your suit?"

Jack walked up to a large wardrobe and looked somewhat disgusted at the classic, Shit-colored Reverse Flash suit inside!

What kind of taste is this? Shit-colored, who knows what they were thinking.

Jack had always thought that the Reverse Flash suit was really ugly, even though it was a classic.

Now that he was close to it, he could see that it was even uglier than he imagined.

When it comes to speed, the Reverse Flash is one of the fastest, but what about taste...

Look at the other speedsters like Zoom, Savitar, and Godspeed.

Compared to their suits, this one is just low-class.

The only suit that might be uglier is Eobard's in the original storyline.

"What's this?"

Jack was unable to contain his curiosity as he pointed at the circular device on the suit in his chest.

He had only watched The Flash series once and had forgotten about some of the less important things.

This thing looks somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall it at the moment.

"It's a prototype of the tachyon particle used to charge me up."

Reverse Flash explained patiently,

"It gives me more speed, so I can run faster and for longer."

"So, it's like a power bank?"

Well, with just one sentence, the once important particle accelerator became much less impressive.

"...You can say that."

Reverse Flash's face stiffened for a second.

As a speedster and a top scientist, it was a bit difficult for him to explain technical words to a layman.

"Why are we here exactly? What do you want to confirm?"

Reverse Flash wisely changed the subject.

"We're waiting for Barry. I need his speed force."

"Why not just go find him directly?"

"Now?"

Jack glanced at him and shook his head,

"He is filled with happiness about seeing his father again right now. It's best not to disturb him at this time."

"..."

You're really a good person.

"Oh, he's here."

Jack raised an eyebrow and looked a little surprised.

Flash is quite fast indeed.

Barry rushed to the Department of Justice as soon as he got evidence that his father was not guilty from the police station.

Even though the American government was often criticized for how well it did its job, it was quick to deal with cases where people were wrongfully found guilty.

In less than half an hour, Barry finished the paperwork and turned in the evidence.

He then brought Joe and Iris, who had rushed over, to the jail to tell his father the good news.

Both the father and the son were so happy about what happened that even Eddie could not help but get emotional.

After the visitation time was over, Barry went straight to Star Labs because he was excited to tell his friends the good news.

In the control room, Cisco and Caitlin were both bored, so they talked. Since the Star Labs were closed for good, they did not have much to do.

It was pretty much the same thing every day: work, take a break, and go home.

Zap!!

With the sound of speed, Barry ran into the room, with lightning following him.

"Oh! What the hell!"

Before Barry could speak, his feet suddenly felt a burning sensation.

He looked down and realized that he had forgotten that the shoes he was wearing were not resistant to friction and high temperatures.

With a flash of lightning, the fire was put out quickly., Cisco couldn't help but say,

"You seem really happy, did you win the lottery?"

"Your heart rate hasn't dropped below one hundred and twenty in the past hour. Fortunately, there's no sign of danger to your life."

Caitlin walked up to Barry and looked at his body with a tablet in her right hand and a scanner in her left.

"No, no, I'm fine. I'm really okay."

Barry politely declined Caitlin's concern, but in fact, he felt a bit embarrassed being so close to her.

For some reason, Barry felt that Caitlin looked different today, with a strange charm that made him want to get closer to her, but he was afraid of being too bold with her.

Barry didn't even know why he felt this way. It was strange.

"Guys, listen up, I have good news to share with you!"

Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves, Barry looked excitedly at his two good friends.

"My dad is getting released from prison, We found evidence proving his innocence."

"He's getting released, probably in the next few days."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

Although Cisco and Caitlin were a little surprised, they immediately offered their congratulations.

They exchanged a glance, and Cisco asked,

"Can you tell us the story? We're not quite clear with just that."

"Sure, no problem."

Barry quickly told Cisco and Caitlin what had happened earlier, and even though he talked a bit too fast, they still understood.

"So that's what happened!"

Cisco slapped the table and looked at Caitlin.

"See, this is why surveillance is important. I always thought we had too little monitoring in the lab."

Caitlin ignored him and rolled her eyes.

"Do you know what? Today is a double celebration. Besides the good news about my father, there's one more thing. Eddie proposed to Iris."

Barry's excited words left Cisco and Caitlin a bit confused. Although they were scientists, they could still see things clearly.

Barry's feelings for Iris were not a secret. It was obvious after spending so much time together.

The current situation puzzled the two. The person he loves is getting married, yet Barry acts like it's his own wedding.

And Barry's tone and expression showed that he was happy for real, not just pretending to be.

What's going on? Has he moved on in just a few hours?

"We're having a party tonight to celebrate, and Joe wants to invite you both to join."

"By the way, where's Dr. Wells? I can't wait to share these two good news with him."

Barry finished excitedly and started looking for the figure of Dr. Wells.

"Congratulations, Barry, your dreams have come true."

At that moment, Dr. Wells rolled into the control room in his wheelchair.

Barry's face froze when he saw Jack, who had followed Dr. Wells. He couldn't understand how he ended up here.

"It's you?"

Barry was surprised to see Jack there and did not know how he got to this place.

"Nice to see you again, Barry. It seems like your wish came true!"

Jack greeted him with a wave and said,

"See, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

As Barry calmed down from his excitement, he remembered the encounter with Jack earlier.

The man asked him about his wish, and he mentioned clearing his father's name. He originally thought it might be just a joke, but within half an hour, he received the evidence.

Was it a coincidence?

If this had happened before, Barry would have believed it to be a coincidence.

But now, after experiencing his change, he was finding it harder to understand this world.

"Who are you, really?"
