"Me?"

Barry pointed at himself in surprise, and everyone in the lab was focused on him.

"How can I help?"

"I need your speed. ”

Ethan's words made everyone confused, so he had to explain to everyone what the speed force was.

In fact, Ethan doesn't know much about the speed force, but the group of people in front of him haven't even heard of the speed force, and today I heard about this thing for the first time from Ethan's mouth, and Barry finally knew that he could run so fast, it turned out to be the relationship of the speed force.

"Not dark matter?"

Everyone, including Barry himself at this time (except for the reverse lightning disguised as Harrison Wells), always thought that his special ability was caused by the dark matter released by the explosion of the particle accelerator, but Ethan told him today that the source of his power was actually something called the speed force, which was completely different from his original guess.

"So...... You want this power called Speed Force?"

"Yes. ”

With Ethan's explanation, everyone finally knew that Ethan's purpose was to get this power called Godspeed Force from Barry.

"How?"

"For now, you can only wait for you to run faster and faster. ”

"Let me run faster and faster?"

Barry's running movements, the amplitude of his strides, almost no change, and his running posture have not changed, but his speed has been improving, which is the effect of the speed force.

The close connection between Barry and the Speed Force, or the amount of Speed Force that Barry himself 'creates', directly affects Barry's speed, which in turn means that the faster Barry is speed, the more Speed Force he has.

Ethan wants speed, so he needs a Barry who is fast enough.

"So...... Run, Barry. ”

It sounds like he was encouraging, but Barry always had a weird feeling that he was like a raised animal that was about to be slaughtered when he was fattened enough.

"You want to get that kind of power called Godspeed Force, and you don't want to kill me and then take this power in the end, right?"

"Huh?" Ethan waved his hand: "No, the speed force can be easily extracted." ”

Not to mention Ethan, an existence with extremely strong control over energy, even Caitlyn and Sisko on the side can extract the divine speed force in Barry's body through technological means.

"And you don't have to worry, it won't cause you any harm or even a burden on yourself. ”

Ethan made his purpose clear and repeatedly stressed that he would not cause harm to Barry, and Joe West breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, it is impossible for him to completely let down his guard against Ethan and the others, even if Ethan repeatedly assures him that he will not believe what Ethan says.

In the days that followed, the Flash was still in Midtown dealing with the converting criminals, and Ethan also ran to the cutting-edge laboratory from time to time, and from time to time he would give his own advice, only to find that Barry Allen was even more of a headache than Green Arrow Oliver Quinn.

Even if he was deflated again and again, he always ignored Ethan's advice, so after saying it a few times, Ethan gradually stopped giving his own advice.

He quietly waited for Barry's speed power to reach a certain level, and then extracted the amount he needed from it, and then completed his plan.

During this time, Ethan didn't do anything, the last time he came into contact with Reverse Lightning, he 'got' a little bit of speed power from Reverse Lightning.

Ethan has studied this small part of the Speed Force, and even used it to conduct some tests, and finally came to the conclusion that only a small part of the Speed Force energy needs to be extracted from Barry to meet his needs.

This is a good thing, because it means that he doesn't need to touch the speed force itself, only Barry Allen.

Compared to the chattering and seemingly self-aware speed, Barry is undoubtedly much easier to talk - especially since Barry is still a good man, and he usually doesn't refuse to help when someone asks him to do it without hurting others.

It was at this time that Barry met the suspected murderer of his own mother, and Barry was no match for this person at all.

Whether it is speed or combat experience, Barry, who is at a disadvantage in all aspects, is simply beaten by the opponent at will.

Frustrated, Barry finds Ethan when he can't think of a way.

"You want me to help you figure out how to deal with that guy?"

Ethan often spends time in the Cutting-Edge Laboratory, and he is like a member of the Cutting-Edge Laboratory, and everyone has become accustomed to his presence.

Although Ethan is not a scientist, most of his suggestions were not taken when the Flash dealt with various converts (in fact, none of them were adopted, because Ethan thought that it was better to catch those guys than to kill them directly, so the advice he gave was: Barry, use a knife!).

In addition, Barry and Ethan will also practice in their spare time, and the scene is impossible to look at.

Barry, who thought he had super speed and couldn't lose at all, was taught to be a man by Ethan again and again, and Ethan seemed to always know what he was going to do in the next second, and every time he could release water balls, fireballs, or other magical energy on his 'way'.

Even if he can avoid it with his strong reflexes and super speed, he will be hit by the indiscriminate attack spell released by Ethan in the next second, and then he will be beaten violently by Ethan, who has mastered the initiative.

When the two were playing against each other, they were often visited and did not shy away from everyone, so Dr. Harrison Wells also saw how Ethan cleaned up the Flash.

Compared to the immature Barry Allen, Harrison found more details: Ethan's reaction speed can easily keep up with Barry's speed, even if he doesn't use that kind of large-scale attack magic, and Barry can't even try to please him with just punches and kicks - he has personally experienced the reverse lightning of Ethan's power, and has enough say in this.

This also means that Ethan's strength is much stronger than he expected, which makes Reverse Lightning even more afraid to act rashly.

Ethan, who was unexpectedly shocked by the reverse lightning, lived more comfortably, and at the same time, his relationship with Sisko and Caitlyn and others was getting better and better, at least these two now regarded him as a good friend, and they would often joke or something on weekdays.

The relationship with Barry is not as awkward as it was at the beginning, which is why Barry will turn to Ethan for help when he is in trouble.

"Yes, I don't know how to beat him. ”

"You said he was faster than you, so you don't know what to do?"

"That's right. ”

Ethan pondered for a while, looking like he was thinking about how to deal with it, and Sisko and Caitlyn next to him looked at Ethan expectantly, wondering what kind of solution Ethan would give, or what kind of training plan would he design for Barry?

As a result, Ethan's answer almost caused two people to vomit blood.

"It's simple, as long as you get faster. ”

“......”

How embarrassed was the expression on Barry's face, he felt that Ethan might not have figured out the point, and if he could be faster, then he still needed to ask Ethan for help?

But Ethan didn't wait for him to speak, and directly rejected his speculation.

Barry...... You're a good person, you're of noble character, and you've done a lot for the city...... But you're not a good fighter. ”

In Ethan's eyes, Barry is not excellent, not even qualified, his sense of battle is about equal to nothing, and the rules and regulations he has set for himself make many effective combat methods unusable - strictly speaking, the Flash is a good citizen with super ability, and then abides by the law and often does some good deeds, and there is no essential difference between ordinary people who help the elderly cross the road every day.

Such a Barry, even if Ethan formulates a training plan for him, the final effect will not be very good, and it may even make Ethan angry to death.

Since Barry certainly won't do what he's taught, it's better to let him continue to stride on the path he 'is good at'.

"Even if I teach you all the fighting techniques, how much will you be able to use in battle?"

Barry opened his mouth, suddenly understanding what Ethan meant's meant. It's clear that Ethan's teaching of combat techniques will inflict damage on enemies, which is not what Barry wants to do, even when facing criminals, he doesn't want to hurt them, let alone kill them.

"So there's really only one choice before you. ”

"I see. ”

Barry finally realizes that he has no choice at all, and the only way he wants to defeat another mysterious speedster is to make himself faster than the other party.

"Thank you for your advice. ”

"I didn't tell you anything. ”

"No, you made me realize what works best for me. ”

Barry thanked him very sincerely, and then began to figure out how to improve his speed even further.

I don't know if it's because Ethan's words made Barry firm in his beliefs, and his speed has indeed improved again, and at this time, Ethan is also ready to start drawing speed power from Barry.

After Ethan expressed this idea, almost everyone gathered in the cutting-edge laboratory, including Tony, who didn't know where to hang out for a while, ran back specifically to witness this moment.

"I thought you went back early. ”

"How is it possible, I already missed the time when you became smaller, but I don't want to miss the scene when you grew up again. ”

The conversation between the two was completely incomprehensible to the people around them, but no one asked about it at this time, for example, Joe West was more concerned about whether Barry really wouldn't be harmed.

"Don't worry, absolutely not!"
