FBI: Chapter 185/186

Chapter 185: Red Current

"What exactly happened here?"

Dante looked at the scene before him, feeling his brain was once again insufficient.

"EMMM, it's a bit complicated to explain." Harley shrugged. "There was a guy named Savitar who wanted to save everything, and in the end, he sacrificed himself to achieve Barry Allen."

Harley concisely summarized everything about the Extreme Speedster in one sentence.

"So, Barry Allen has now obtained the Speed Force? And it's Savitar-level?"

Dante took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

He had only played with Carnage and Joker for a while longer, and as a result, Harley had given him a huge surprise.

The instigator of this Carnage and Joker incident was actually Savitar?

Meaning, Barry's time remnant?

But wasn't this guy a villain in the show?

He wouldn't have some other scheme, would he?

However, Dante quickly overturned this idea. In the original work, there were many reasons for the time remnant Barry to turn evil.

And this time remnant Barry might just be trying to make up for everything.

"So, did this time remnant Barry Allen leave any information? For example, why was he called a time remnant?"

"Hallelujah! Pudding, you're a god, how did you know Savitar was Barry's time remnant?"

Harley's eyes lit up, and she hugged Dante's neck and gave him a bite.

She was still thinking about how to make Dante believe all of this.

Now it was good, it saved a lot of saliva.

So Harley just coiled herself around Dante and told him in detail what had happened these past few days.

"I first received a USB drive two days ago, which contained a video of Joker escaping his cage."

"At that time, I happened to be on my period, and in a fit of rage, I decided to personally send this Joker back to hell."

"Then I followed the other clues on the USB drive and found the Life Foundation."

"After sneaking in, I discovered those Symbiotes. Believe me, Pudding, at that time I was ready to contact you, but I was interrupted by Carnage Joker."

"After some struggle, I escaped with Venom, but unfortunately, my personal terminal was damaged in the fight."

"So I could only hide in the sewers."

"And then you found Carnage Joker, and I and Savitar came here."

Saying this, Harley also patted her Venom battlesuit, and Venom immediately revealed a cute but ugly little face from her shoulder.

"Hey buddy, Venom is me, I am Venom."

Dante had never doubted Harley's luck.

If Dante was just a transmigrator without a system, he probably wouldn't be able to catch up to this woman even if he tried his best.

It was clearly a deadly situation targeting her, but she managed to turn danger into safety, and even took away the Symbiote with the greatest potential...

Wait...

Thinking of this, Dante suddenly thought of Carnage.

Perhaps forging weapons with Carnage was actually a lesser approach.

This Carnage had devoured ninety-nine Symbiotes, and this should refer to the famous Symbiotes from various timelines.

Later, he also devoured the Dagon stone.

This was simply...

A super large food!

He could completely feed Carnage directly to Venom!

This would be the way to maximize profits.

Moreover, his future self feeding Carnage the Dagon stone also gave him inspiration.

Feeding Yaka metal to Venom wouldn't be of much use, but he still had a large amount of Uru metal.

Harley's Adamantium bat could also be completely fed to Venom.

Following this line of thought, things like Vibranium and Adamantium could all be fed to Venom as dog food.

Venom's growth potential could be said to be unparalleled in the entire Marvel.

"Harley, it seems you and this Symbiote are quite compatible."

"Pudding, I think we two are more compatible."

Caught off guard by Harley's teasing, Dante was also a bit flustered.

Harley's charm could never be stopped.

Although Dante wasn't arrogant, he still had some burdens when facing The Legends and the Coulson Team.

Especially with Barry, that kind-hearted little uke, lying on the side.

You can't flirt in front of your subordinates, right?

The next moment, Dante gave himself a big thumbs up for his self-control.

The Coulson Team, The Legends, the Star Team, and Fury all rushed into the air-raid shelter.

The once spacious place instantly felt crowded.

"Hey everyone, long time no see, did you miss me?"

Harley greeted everyone with a smile, but she had no intention of getting off Dante.

But miraculously, except for Fury taking out a small gourd bottle and taking two quick-acting pills, everyone else ignored this scene.

This made Dante reflect.

Could it be that in everyone's eyes, he was such a debauched image?

It wasn't until Fury walked up to him that Harley finally did a backflip and jumped down.

Then she puffed out her chest and saluted Fury like an elite soldier.

"Reporting, Director! Harley Quinn reporting for duty!"

"You... Sigh, don't be so reckless next time! You actually wanted to face Joker by yourself!?"

Dante looked at Harley. Even though her mental state was concerning due to her period, when facing Fury, Harley would always try to act a bit more normal.

Besides Dante, Harley's other link to the normal world was Fury, who was like a teacher and father to her.

Could this be Harley's version of "reporting good news but not bad news"?

"What happened to Barry? That Extreme Speedster didn't do anything to him, did he?"

Coulson and the others immediately stepped forward to check Barry's condition.

They found that several golden electric currents suddenly flashed across Barry's body.

"Body temperature is gradually rising, vital signs are present, but heart rate... disappeared?"

Dante shook his head and said:

"It's not that the heart rate disappeared, but that the heart rate is too fast. Let alone your senses, even non-specialized detection equipment can't detect it."

"Coulson, we can go back and prepare the celebration feast."

"This incident has brought the Federal Bureau of Investigation an Extreme Speedster of our own."

Harley didn't forget to add: "Don't forget this treadmill, this is also something only an Extreme Speedster can use, take it back with you."

And just as everyone in the Federal Bureau of Investigation was overjoyed, in a small grove less than fifty meters from the air-raid shelter, a pair of eyes were tightly fixed on the air-raid shelter's entrance.

This person kept muttering:

"Barry Allen's awakening time was wrong! But... for me, maybe it's a good thing?"

As soon as his voice fell, red electric currents lit up around him...

And he instantly disappeared from the spot.

(To be continued.)

Chapter 186: Dude, You’ve Been Struck by Lightning

"I bet she likes this song."

"How do you know?"

"I looked at his social media profile... He can hear, right?"

"Hearing is indeed the last sense to fade."

In S.T.A.R. Labs, Dr. Caitlin Snow and Cisco Ramon were adjusting the vital sign monitoring equipment while chatting.

Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" was playing in the lab at the moment, which was indeed Barry Allen's favorite song.

But it was also... quite old.

When Dante and Harley walked in together, they thought it was some kind of nostalgic concert.

"Wow! Agent Dante, Agent Harley!" Cisco immediately came up to them. "We met a week ago when you brought Barry Allen in."

"Of course, I remember you two, thank you for taking care of Barry during this time."

Dante smiled and shook hands with the two mainstays of S.T.A.R. Labs.

That's right, a week had passed since the Carnage Joker incident ended.

Originally, Barry was brought back to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's medical department, but the medical experts, led by Dr. Stephen Strange, were completely helpless with Barry.

None of them had ever seen a heart rate so fast it couldn't be detected.

And the environment in the Sandbox was not suitable either.

So Dante thought of S.T.A.R. Labs.

After all, in the original story, Barry gained Speed Force after their particle accelerator exploded, and they took care of Barry for nine months.

Of course, due to Savitar's appearance and sacrifice, Barry did not awaken Speed Force through conventional means, so the time it would take to transform his body while in a coma became unfixed.

After Dante handed Barry over to them, this was the first time he had come to see him.

After all, there were still many follow-up matters to deal with from the Carnage Joker incident.

For example, repairing Los Angeles's underground waterways.

For example, silencing the LAPD and giving the public a reasonable explanation.

For example, the evaluation of Chloe and dealing with the complaining Lucifer.

Of course, for more than half of this week, Dante was trying to deal with Lucifer, this big mischievous boy.

Especially after Chloe's evaluation was completed and she officially became a member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Los Angeles branch.

He insisted on pestering Dante to give him and Maizi positions as Federal Bureau of Investigation consultants.

When Dante reported this position to Fury, Fury's expression was incredibly amusing.

Dante also felt a tiny bit guilty, after all, it was a position he had made up on the fly.

However, he still underestimated Fury's lack of integrity.

He actually invited Tony, Bruce, Clark, and Elsa to serve as Federal Bureau of Investigation consultants.

Dante couldn't help but give him the middle finger.

The older the ginger, the spicier it is.

The older the person, the more shameless.

A position without even a salary, yet he managed to tie people to his war chariot.

After that, Dante finally had time to see the poor little Barry, who they had almost forgotten.

"It's what we should do, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has provided a lot of convenience in the development of our S.T.A.R. Labs," Caitlin said with a smile.

Dante nodded, and then the few of them went together to Barry's bedside.

At this time, Barry was connected to a large number of vital sign monitoring devices. To accurately obtain data, Barry had been completely naked for the entire week.

Fortunately, there was still a blanket, maintaining the boy's last bit of dignity.

But the blanket only covered his abdomen, his entire chest was exposed.

Dante found that Barry's body had changed a lot under the transformation of the Speed Force.

The original Barry was basically a defenseless bottom.

But now, looking at him, his pectoral muscles were already very obvious, and the muscle lines of his shoulders and arms were as stunning as if carved by a knife and axe.

Even Dante, a straight man, couldn't help but exclaim.

"Tsk, don't tell me, this kid Barry is really white! Whiter than Teacher Yu."

But Barry seemed unable to tolerate Dante's evaluation of him, so he immediately sat up!

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

Everyone present was startled.

"Oh my god!"

"He woke up!"

However, they were all highly professional.

Dante and Harley immediately began to comfort the suddenly awakened Barry.

While Caitlin and Cisco immediately began to check Barry's physical condition.

"Pulse one hundred twenty, both pupils react to light."

"Hearing normal, touch normal, knee-jerk reflex present."

"Dr. Wells, the person is awake, please come to the lower lab quickly."

And Barry had already calmed down from his initial panic because he saw Dante and Harley's faces.

One was the agent he most respected and admired, and the other was the psychologist who helped him let go of many mental burdens.

Now, the two people he trusted most were these two in front of him.

"Officer, how long have I been in a coma?"

"Alas... Barry, you've been in a coma for twenty years."

"Wh-what!?"

Looking at Barry's bewildered eyes, Dante smiled and ruffled his hair.

"Of course, I'm joking. You've only been in a coma for a week."

Barry almost choked.

At least at this moment, Dante was no longer the agent he most admired.

However, after Caitlin finished checking his physical indicators, Barry struggled to get up.

Completely forgetting that he was currently naked and exposed.

However, Dante's hand was fast enough. Before Barry could escape the blanket's seal, he had already covered Harley's eyes.

Meanwhile, Caitlin, who was beside him, didn't care at all and instead held a plastic container in front of the naked Barry.

"I need your urine sample now."

"Now is not the time!" Cisco interrupted Caitlin's ruthless attending physician behavior. "Let him calm down."

Barry's small head was filled with big questions.

"Where is this place? What happened?"

"Dude, you were struck by lightning."

Barry looked bewildered.

What the heck?

He was struck by lightning?

Although he was slow to move, he wasn't stupid.

He was struck by lightning, and he's fine after only a week?

So he subconsciously looked around.

But he saw his entire body's muscles in the monitor screen. Although not obtrusive, they appeared incredibly strong.

"So... the lightning gave me abs?"

Harley, whose eyes were still covered by Dante, nudged Dante's waist with her elbow.

"Pudding, I want to see your abs too."

"Be a good girl, Harley, let's not talk about this now. I'll let you see enough when we get back."
