Chapter 1598: Never Learned
Dr. Stein and others suspected that Iron Man's superpowers were related to absorbing the surrounding radiation energy.
He can absorb power to become bigger and stronger!
At this time, Cisco detected a violent radiation reaction from a warehouse not far away, and Iron Man was likely there!
After learning the news, Barry refused the team's help and chose to rush to the scene alone.
When he arrived at the warehouse, he saw Iron Man Al Rostan, who was holding a big iron pipe and sucking the poison gas inside, with an intoxicated look on his face.
Obviously, Dr. Stein's inference was correct. Iron Man did feed on radiation energy.
Without saying a word, Barry stepped forward and used his trick. His hands rotated at high speed, like a high-power electric fan, and set off a strong wind to try to blow Iron Man away and subdue him.
However, his trick was ineffective against Iron Man. Iron Man quickly swelled his body against the strong wind and began to grow huge. Barry couldn't dodge and was directly strangled by the neck.
This was a difficult situation. The Flash failed to take advantage of his speed and got into close combat. He was not good at close combat, and the opponent was a very strong man. This was bad.
The man pinched Barry with one hand, like pinching a chicken, and lifted him up casually.
Seeing that Barry was in crisis, Cisco, Caitlin and others in the laboratory were anxious. Dr. Stein made a plan and asked Cisco to remotely control the alarm of the abandoned factory.
In an instant, all the alarms in the factory area kept beeping, and the man diverted his attention. Barry finally seized the opportunity to withdraw, fled back to the laboratory and fainted on the ground.
In the eternal space, Peter Quill shook his head and said, "This kid still doesn't learn his lesson. He was reckless from the beginning to the end, but he didn't know how to use his brain more!"
The Flash No. 1 glanced at him and argued, "His condition is very problematic, and it's not his fault."
Billy Batson nodded and said, "Yes, you only know how to say sarcastic words. If you were in Barry's situation, betrayed by the most trusted person, and your companions and comrades died one after another, I guarantee that you wouldn't be much better. At least Barry didn't drink every day to relieve his sorrow, right?"
In Star-Lord's future video, due to a broken heart and a series of other blows, Star-Lord began to get used to using alcohol to numb himself.
In response, Peter Quill shrugged his shoulders and said righteously, "No matter what, I won't be so stupid, and I won't delay the business."
After a few simple arguments, their attention shifted to the future video.
In a coma, Barry Allen couldn't help but recall his childhood. The tragedy of his childhood broke his family.
Fortunately, with Joe West, the adoptive father, taking good care of him and almost looking after him as his own son, Barry was able to grow up safely and healthily, and gradually walked out of the shadow of his childhood.
In reality, when Barry was lying on the hospital bed, Joe West was always by his bedside. He really had nothing to say about Barry Allen and treated him as his own son.
Not long after, Barry woke up slowly on the bed and wanted to jump up as soon as possible. After all, his situation was worrying before he fell into a coma.
Joe immediately held his hand and said firmly: "It's okay, I'm here!"
He has always been Barry's strongest backing.
Barry also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but he was also a little depressed. He failed again. He turned around and found that there was only Joe, so he asked: "Where are they all?"
Joe West said in a deep voice: "I don't think you want to see anyone before you are ready."
He is really a caring and good father, and he has considered Barry in all aspects.
Barry let out another long sigh: "Yes, thank you."
"Iris is right, you can't bear it alone anymore."
Joe West shook his head and advised earnestly: "In the past six months, I gave you enough space to digest the whole thing and then come back to us.
But what happened today proves that you would rather die than let others help you." Barry's face was full of bitter smile: "It's better for me to die than to kill others."
The betrayal of 'Dr. Wells' exhausted him physically and mentally, but the biggest blow was the sacrifice of Eddie and Ronnie.
Barry blamed his own death for their death, which made Joe feel very tired and advised: "You want me to tell you that it wasn't your fault?
I won't, you did make a mistake, but you know, you were not the only one making a decision that day, we all made a choice, Eddie and Ronnie... they chose to help you stop 'Wells and that...'"
"Singularity." Barry added.
Joe nodded, "We all had a part in that incident, Barry, so don't bear the guilt and regret alone anymore, let's face it together."
Barry finally listened to his father's sincere persuasion.
After recovering a little, Barry went to find Caitlin. He felt the most guilty about Caitlin because her husband chose to sacrifice himself to save himself and the city.
You know, before that, the two had just got married and Caitlin became a widow before they even had time to spend their honeymoon.
Barry was full of apologies, "...You should know better than anyone that I am not the hero who saved the city that day."
Caitlin shook her head and said sincerely, "You are!"
She actually shouldn't have been Barry. Although her husband's death made her very sad and grief-stricken, she also knew that the Flash Barry should not bear the corresponding responsibility for the whole thing.
Barry said very depressedly: "Kate, Ronnie sacrificed himself to save me. I should have saved him. I, I'm sorry."
Kate shook her head: "Barry, I know you have tried your best. It's not your fault. I don't blame you for Ronnie's death... I blame myself."
"Why?" Barry was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to give such an answer.
Caitlin took a deep breath and said: "When Ronnie first became Firestorm, he asked me if I wanted to leave Central City and live an ordinary life somewhere else.
But I refused him. I couldn't let go of Star Labs, 'Dr. Wells', and you. If I had chosen to leave Central City, Ronnie would not be dead now. Staying in Star Labs will only make me think of this matter constantly."
It turned out that Caitlin had been trapped in self-blame and guilt. Seeing her crying, Barry took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, but accidentally dropped the USB drive left to him by 'Dr. Wells' on the ground.
Knowing that the USB drive was the remains of Dr. Wells and that Barry had not seen it yet, Caitlin persuaded him to watch it together?
Barry did not refuse this time, so they opened the USB drive and saw the video of Dr. Wells' last words.
